Ryan Hunter-Reay had positioned himself for an improbable run at a second Indianapolis 500 win when he pit from the lead with 31 laps remaining, only to stall the car in his box. The team was unable to quickly fire it and his chances were done.
The National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association says 16 organizations received notice Monday that funding is on hold. At least 11 Planned Parenthood Federation of America regional affiliates and all recipients of federal family planning, or Title X, grants in seven states, had funding withheld.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declined to say which laws or executive orders the groups are being investigated for violating, though NFPFHA said some of the letters cited civil rights laws. Trump has issued executive orders targeting

Republicans have long railed against the millions of dollars that flow every year to Planned Parenthood and its clinics, which offer abortions but also birth control, cancer and disease screenings, among other things. Federal law prohibits taxpayer dollars from paying for most abortions.Providers said the impact on health care will especially hit lower-income people.
“We know what happens when health care providers cannot use Title X funding,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said in a statement. “People across the country suffer, cancers go undetected, access to birth control is severely reduced, and the nation’s STI crisis worsens.”
The reproductive health association, whose members include most Title X grant recipients, said that about one-fourth of them received the letter, including all the recipients in California, Hawaii, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana and Utah. Mississippi law bans abortion at all stages of pregnancy.but this time smashes together characters and plot lines from several of the books in a way that is hard to follow even for fans.
It starts as the origin story — a policeman’s body is sewed onto the head of his faithful dog after a bomb blast — and then we get the supervillain Petey the Cat, his adorable clone Li’l Petey, the chief of police and the mayor, the psychokinetic fish Flippy, the 80-Hexotron Droid-Formigon robot, a pushy TV reporter and buildings coming alive. It leans a lot on 2017’s “A Tale of Two Kittens,” the third book in the Dog Man series.The spareness of the graphic novels is gone and we get an interior life for Dog Man, including a sort of weird tangent about his depression over losing his past life. Fans get a look inside his doghouse — who was expecting a piano, a grandfather clock or a gramophone? — and there’s lots of licking and chasing squirrels. Typical humor: A sign at an active volcano that reads: “No lifeguard on duty.”
At the movie’s heart is a story as old as time — good versus evil — and which will Li’l Petey pick. His father, Petey, is a supervillain who needs Prozac — “The world is a horrible place. That’s just reality,” he tells his son — but Dog Man offers a sweet alternative. Will Li’l Petey chose blood over stability? Will love turn Petey to the good side?The filmmakers try to capture some of the anarchic qualities of the comics, like adding “Dun, Dun Dunnn” in large letters on the screen at a dramatic moment, but they’re trying too hard and the humor is restrained. It needs more zany.
