14 people were injured The roof of the house outside the premises The collapse occurred Saturday night near Ohio State University in Columbus, officials said.

First responders were called to East 13th Avenue, blocks from the university campus, around 7:40 p.m. for reports of a roof collapse during a party.

All of the victims were taken to several nearby hospitals with unspecified injuries but are in stable condition, the Columbus Fire Department told the Post.

Some victims trapped under the debris were freed following the collapse, the department said.

Officials estimate that between 14 and 45 people were on the roof when it collapsed. According to WHIO7.

Footage shows the house intact while the front porch roof collapsed.

It is not clear how many of the injured attended the university.

The department said it was not known if there were any structural problems with the home before it collapsed.

“We are closely monitoring this serious situation and assisting first responders in any way we can. Our thoughts are with those who were there and their friends and families,” Ohio State University told The Post.

2023 The NFL Draft It’s almost in the books and the Detroit Lions are out with eight rookies. But even with the final picks all off the board, general manager Brad Holmes and company’s work is far from over, as there is still plenty of undrafted free agent (UDFA) talent.

As always, we’ll be looking for reports of players who reportedly signed UDFA contracts with the Lions and listing them in the tracker below.

Assuming the Lions get their entire draft class under contract, the Lions have 75 spots on the 90-man roster. It’s worth noting that the Lions have 15 roster spots, and Detroit’s draft picks aren’t technically under contract at this point. Therefore, the Lions could sign more than 15 UDFAs and then make a roster decision.

This is in line with what the Lions have done in previous seasons under Holmes. The Lions brought in 13 UDFAs in 2021, including starters Brock Wright and Jerry Jacobs. Holmes then added 12 UTFAs in 2022, including developmental prospects Obinna Eze, Demetrius Taylor, Derrick Deese Jr. and Greg Bell.

One final note. Differentiating between announced UDFA signings and players who tried out for rookie minicamp can be challenging. A lot of times the statements are worded the same and not clarified until the team announces their roster moves. Keep that in mind as you can see some changes in the list below.

Saturday Morning: Stay tuned for updates and charts….Two holders, Super Mario Bros. Movie And Evil Death Rising, The gravitation continues to gravitate towards the under-25s, both of which have impressive holds with new releases, again this spring, seeing single-digit million results.

Enlightenment/Nintendo/Universal Super Mario Bros at $37.5M The best fourth weekend for an animated film is breaking records Unbelievable 2s $28.4M. Domestic flow will rise by tomorrow $487.5M.

Now, the new line Evil Dead Rise – Youngsters love this movie so much that it only makes it 50% easier $12.3M. (smile The second weekend was -18%, but -45% is impressive for a horror film). That second weekend drop was -63% over the 2013 Fede Alvarez remake. By EOD Sunday, this latest version of the Sam Raimi franchise will advance 9.8% over the Alvarez version. $44.5M.

All of this strikes ahead of Judy Bloom’s feature adaptation of Lionsgate. Are you God? I’m Margaret ($5.65M) and the third, a limited release of a Finnish genre film from the same studio Content ($3M) ranked 10th, and Sony/Affirm Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World ($2.8M) in 11. Some dealers don’t publish their Saturday ratings, so these figures are subject to change.

Disney’s 40th Anniversary Reissue further responds to exhibitor demand for the product. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, This is the broth for the mouse house $4.9M 4th in 500 theaters and close to $10K per screen.

Diving into the numbers this AM, oh, Margaret. Despite an excellent PostTrak of 99%, A CinemaScore and 4 1/2 stars and 88% positive reviews, there’s no rush to make Judy Bloom’s novel a big screen debut. That’s not to say there’s no place for female-leaning movies based on bestsellers: Sonys A place where crawdads sing A very competitive summer with a $17.2M opening, a $90.2M stateside take, and close to $75M in profits – and it lost to bad reviews! But that’s a four-year-old bestseller, not a 53-year-old. Margaret’s primary audience is moviegoers who are slow to get to theaters now, and slower since the pandemic: Caucasian women over 50. Fifty percent MargaretThe audience is over 45 years old, 62% women over 25 years old, 16% women under 25 years old. The 55+ demo is the largest quad with Caucasian numbers at 70%. The film was moved from a September 16 release date, when there was no production on the calendar, but New Line’s (then perceived) Harry Styles was eyeing a potential breakout, Don’t worry darling. want Margaret Did you make more money if you were in the fall? Maybe, but not doubly so: the IP as a whole is a fish of feathers for today’s female moviegoers. What the Lionsgate wanted here was a chance to play on Mother’s Day weekend. The film has a healthy 53-day theatrical run; Maybe it found 5x multiples and collected its $30M budget. At $5.9M, MargaretKelly Freeman is just ahead of Craig’s opening $4.75M start Edge of Seventeen. That smart teen film by Craig was critically acclaimed with a 94% freshman certificate on Rotten Tomatoes, and an A- Cinemascore that some said loved, but not. Easy A At the box office, female audiences flock only to movies based on hot books. In 2023, Are you God? I’m Margaret Based on a 1970 novel, it’s out of its era.

Many would say that this 1970s coming-of-age movie should have gone to streaming, after all, where’s the appeal? I say don’t stream: Craig is a talented filmmaker and a great voice for women. If you keep burying great cinema in streaming, it will stay buried. As Martin Scorsese said at CinemaCon last week: If we keep burying cinema in streaming, how do we nurture the future of filmmakers? “Getting young people to experience theater on a bigger and more engaging screen than the films they see at home can make a difference.” At least the big screen should start here Margaret Attracts enough attention to entice mates. Margaret AMC Century City earned $10K, playing well in the East, South and Midwest.

The Federal Reserve’s key inflation rate eased more than feared in March as the U.S. economy slowed, easing key price pressures. As the central bank is set to decide whether to raise interest rates next Wednesday, the Labor Department said wages showed surprising strength in the first quarter. After the data, the S&P 500 turned positive, creating a strong rally Thursday.

The core inflation rate rises

The personal consumption expenditures, or PCE, price index fell 0.1% in March, bringing the annual inflation rate down to 4.2%, matching expectations.

However, the core PCE inflation rate, which strips out food and energy, rose 0.3% last month. The core inflation rate came in at 4.6%, above expectations of 4.5%. The higher-than-expected core annual inflation rate reflected upward revisions to January data, which saw core PCE prices revised 0.6% over the month.

On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported that the PCE price index rose at a 4.2% annualized rate in the first quarter as inflation firmed from Q4’s 3.7% rate. The central bank paid more attention to the core PCE inflation rate, which reached 4.9% in Q1, up from 4.4% in Q4 and 4.7% in the previous two quarters. But we now know that the warming of inflation happened in January and did not last.

In fact, with the exception of housing and energy services, there was some good news regarding services inflation, which Fed President Jerome Powell highlighted as important to the broader inflation outlook. Prices for these services, such as health, hairdressing and hospitality, rose just 0.24% in March, compared to 0.36% in February and 0.55% in January. The annual inflation rate for core homelessness services decreased from 4.8% to 4.5%.

As wage growth makes up a larger percentage of spending for service businesses, inflation in core non-housing services is expected to move in tandem with wages.

Employment Cost Index

The central bank’s preferred employment cost index of wage trends showed compensation rose 1.2% in Q1, an upwardly revised 1.1% in December and beating expectations by 1%. Compensation rose 4.8% from a year ago, but wages and salaries rose 5.1% as benefits rose 4.3%.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said 3.5% wage growth is consistent with the 2% inflation target.

Economists pay close attention to wages and salaries for workers in industries that are not amenable to variable incentive pay, such as commissions. Excluding incentive-paid occupations, wages and salaries rose 5% from a year ago, unchanged from Q4.

Unemployment claims

The Labor Department said on Thursday that new claims for unemployment benefits fell by 16,000 to 230,000 in the week to April 22. This lowered the four-week average claims to 236,000 from 240,000. But that’s up 24% from the end of September.

The data also shows that the unemployed are finding it difficult to find work. The number of people receiving regular benefits fell by 3,000 to 1.858 million in the week of April 15. But it has steadily risen from a low of 1.29 million in September.

GDP decreases

Real GDP rose at a 1.1% annual rate in the first quarter, a sharp drop from 2.6% in Q4 and below estimates of 2%.

The slowdown came as business equipment investment fell at a 7.3% annual rate, worse than the previous quarter’s 3.5% decline. Private reserves fell by $138 billion after a $98 billion increase in Q4. That reversal subtracted 2.3 percentage points from GDP growth, which almost fully offset a 2.5-percentage-point boost from stronger personal consumption spending.

Fed Rate Hike Odds

The Fed is likely to raise its key rate on May 3, even as jobless claims show a strong labor market has taken a clear turn for the worse.

After Friday’s PCE inflation and ECI data, markets priced in 83% odds of a quarter-point rise from 84% on Thursday.

Short of another banking-crisis outbreak, the rate hike looks like a done deal. However, stocks First Republic Bank (FRC) continued to slide on Friday as the FDIC reportedly discussed the bank’s fate.

The S&P 500 is trying to rally

The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 4,146 on Friday morning. But that followed a Thursday session in which the S&P 500 rallied less than 2%, helped by strong earnings. Meta platforms (Meta)

The S&P 500 has been locked in a tight trading range between 4050 and 4170 over the past month, above its 50-day moving average. A break will happen more or less.

A petite, attractive, dark-haired young woman, Caroline won two high school beauty pageants. In 1951, at the age of 16, she met a 20-year-old army infantryman, Mr. He left school to run with Bryant.

“According to other family members I talked to, Carolyn was a little different than everyone else,” Devery S. Anderson, author of “Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the Martyrs and Led the Civil Rights Movement” (2015), said in an interview for this obituary in 2016. “They were all married refined men — ‘gentlemen,’ as they called them — and Carolyn was attracted to bad boys, of which Roy Bryant was one.”

Settling in Money, a small Delta town, the couple ran Bryant’s Grocery and Meat Market, which catered mainly to black stock. By 1955, they had two sons, Roy Jr., 3, and Thomas Lamar, 2. The family lived in rooms behind the shop.

Emmett Till, known to friends and family as Bobo, arrived in Mississippi by train on Sunday, August 20 or Sunday August 21, 1955 – accounts differ on the exact date. By the 21st, he had moved into the home of a great uncle, Moses Wright, near Money.

On Wednesday evening, August 24, Emmett went to Bryant’s with a group of local black youths. Among them were 18-year-old Ruthie Mae Crawford, who spoke years later of being able to see Emmett the whole time through the store’s plate-glass window, and 12-year-old Dill’s cousin, Simeon Wright.
