The tractor-trailer was being driven down Interstate 85 when it was stopped by officers in Cleveland County, North Carolina, for traffic violations on Saturday. Around $3 million in cash was located in barrels aboard the tractor-trailer, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office announced in a news release on Tuesday. The sheriff’s office shared a picture of the money that had been seized piled in stacks onto a table, as well as a second photo that appeared to have been taken shortly after the cash was discovered....

In a statement released by his office, Burgum extended the state’s business restrictions for an additional 10 days, with the end to these restrictions coming on April 30, “and outlined a path forward for them to reopen.” While North Dakota remains one of the few U.S. states that has not imposed a statewide stay-at-home order, they have enforced social distancing measures such as closing schools and different businesses in an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus....

Kim Yo Jong, who serves now as vice department director of the Central Committee of the Korean Workers’ Party and is the sister of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, issued a statement Tuesday touting the success of the major party gathering in Pyongyang and announced there would be several events held “soon to celebrate the successful congress,” according to a report by the official Korean Central News Agency. But referring to South Korean military comments made amid speculation that a military parade would be held as was the case during the 7th Party Congress in 2016, she took exception at the manner in which Seoul was examining its neighbor’s activities....

“It was reported that the U.S. and South Korea decided to extend the combined air drill Vigilant Storm,” the North Korean official said in a recent statement issued by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, according to The Korea Times. “It is a very dangerous and false choice.” South Korea’s air force announced that it will extend the five-day air drill that started on Monday to improve military training and resistance amid rising tensions with North Korea, according to The Korea Herald....

On Saturday, Joao De Deus’s squad had a golden opportunity to start the campaign on a winning note in front of their supporters. Almost for the entire ninety minutes, they dictated the proceedings, enjoyed lion’s share of possession and had the best chances. But cohesion was not enough to make them either prolific or lucky. The hosts lined up in a 4-4-1-1 with youngster Abdul Hakku pairing up with Jose Goncalves in central defense, while two former India internationals Nirmal Chhetri and Robert Lalthlamuana lined up as full-backs....

Tre Demps led the Wildcats with 23 points, and the much-improved Vic Law scored 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds. MORE: Okafor returns | Big 12 reprimands K-State | Field of 68 Northwestern (14-14, 5-10) has lost five games by under five points in conference play. Center Alex Olah took advantage of Indiana’s small lineup with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Indiana was held to its third-fewest of the season due in part to a scoring drought that saw the Hoosiers go 10:06 without a point, missing 11 straight shots over that stretch....

This article will give an overview of the common nosebleed causes and their treatments. Causes of Anterior Nosebleeds Most nosebleeds occur within the lower end of the nose in the lower septum—the wall separating the two airways of the nose that ends in the nostrils. These blood vessels lie close to the surface, making them susceptible to injury. A clue that a nosebleed is anterior is that blood will flow out of one nostril when the affected person is sitting or standing....

Zehfuss isn’t the only new mother to have a little extra help during labor. For decades, childbirth educators have urged women to get through the pain without drugs. The idea was that it’s better for both mother and child to go natural. But a recent study by the University of Colorado School of Medicine found that from 1981 to 1997, the number of women in large hospitals who had spinal injections during labor tripled, from 22 percent to 66 percent....

In the corporate world, postponed retirements are rarely a good omen. Like an aging athlete unwilling to hit the showers, or a graying rock band mounting one more “reunion tour,” a CEO who pushes back his exit is often judged harshly. He’s either unwilling to let go of the trappings of power, convinced no one can replace him–or both. In recent years highly regarded corporate chiefs, such as Chrysler’s Lee Iacocca and AT&T’s Robert Allen, saw their reputations suffer after hanging around too long....

Not everyone fighting for the return of exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide has ended up on a boat, in exile or in a roadside pool of blood. Nearly three years after the coup that ended the country’s brief experiment with democracy, tens of thousands of Aristide supporters are struggling in quiet whispers and behind closed doors to keep alive the hope he represents. Former prime minister Robert Malval maintains what amounts to a shadow government from behind the high stone walls of his hillside villa....

The new buildings will house a student center on the west side, the anthropology and psychology departments and a digital media center on the east side and music and sacred music departments on the south side, leaving the side facing Touchdown Jesus unchanged. Rev. John Jenkins, the university's president, called it "the most ambitious building project in the 172-year history of Notre Dame," saying more space was needed to accommodate the university's broadening research activity....

The world’s top-ranked player matched Roy Emerson’s record number of Australian Open wins — achieved in tennis’ amateur era — when he beat Andy Murray in straight sets at Melbourne Park on Sunday. MORE: Best photos from the Australian Open | It’s Djokovic’s world; no one else is close The Serbian has now won four of the last five Grand Slams, taking his overall tally to 11, and is the unquestionable dominant figure in the men’s game having reached the final of every tournament he has played in the last 12 months....

Djokovic, 34, was granted a vaccine mandate exemption by the Australian Open and had been set to compete in the tournament later this month until he was detained last week after the country’s government canceled his visa and attempted to deport him due to his vaccination status. However, the nine-time Australian Open winner was training with an eye toward adding to his record on Monday after Judge Anthony Kelly ordered that he be released....

The nine-time Australian Open winner’s father caused a stir after he was filmed posing for photos with fans carrying the banned Russian flag, featuring Vladimir Putin’s face, at Melbourne Park on Wednesday. One of the men with Djokovic senior was wearing a T-shirt with a “Z” on it - a symbol of support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Events are spinning out of control. In 1991, the Soviet gross national product will drop at least 14 percent, estimates the consulting firm Plan-Econ. Inflation is running at an annual rate of 200 percent or more. Oil production has declined 10 percent. The centrally planned economy is crumbling. A strong market economy hasn’t arisen. Combined with intense nationalism, the economic breakdown is a formula for anarchy. Jan Vanous of PlanEcon fears “riots of angry coal miners” and more ethnic strife....

It would be irrational for Americans to begin acting as though terrorists are capable of making daily life hazardous for Americans generally. Acting that way would cripple the country’s social and economic vigor, its defining assets. And an even more important reason for not allowing current problems to knock America off its normally jaunty stride is that the nation’s equilibrium may soon be tested by even bigger problems. When in 1820 the argument about the admission of Missouri to the Union as a slave state aggravated sectional animosities, Jefferson called the crisis a “fire bell in the night,” awakening the nation to the possibility of worse to come....

Bosworth, who turned 50 on Monday, still relived and revisited his three-year slash-and-burn tour through college football. The 30 for 30 documentary “Brian and The Boz" and induction into the College Football Hall of Fame brought Bosworth back into our living rooms. Now, Bosworth sounds more like the people who rooted against him during his Barry Switzer-heyday at Oklahoma from 1984-86. There’s less free-wheeling badass and more old-school hardass. There’s always a presence, which he reminded us with the button one-liner in the DISH ad that ran a million times last football season....

Here in Boston, Green originally was supposed to be the kind of new-wave, hybrid forward that has been gaining popularity in the league. He would be a bench-bolstering supersub akin to Lamar Odom, on a Celtics bunch grasping to its Paul Pierce-Ray Allen-Kevin Garnett contender status. MORE: Source: Prince to meet Celtics’ Ainge | Knicks kiss cam snub | Injury bug hits ‘14 class By Monday, it was clear that the last shred of hope for Green’s stardom was gone....

Never has a grunt on the ground looked so presidential. “OK,” Lane Kiffin said softly as he walked into the one thing he has been able to avoid since he was fired at USC and hired at Alabama and helped this Tide team do things on offense no one imagined it could do with a forgotten fifth-year quarterback. It was time to face the demons — or in this instance, the media....
