R.I. leaders see proposed URI med school as a ‘distraction' from state's immediate primary care crisis
A few days later, my colleague Ed Fitzpatrick reported that the Tripp Umbach consulting firm Get Rhode Island News Alerts Sign up to get breaking news and interesting stories from Rhode Island in your inbox each weekday.

'As the head of Anchor [Medical Associates] said to me when I talked to him, that's like telling the patient that the inexperienced doctor will be with you in a decade.' Fernandez called health care 'the greatest team sport ever,' but said the state needs to provide more financial support 'so the team can take care of the patients.' Advertisement 'I'd let the commission do their work, but it's a clear distraction,' he said. Iversen called a medical school a 'very long-term solution,' but said there are faster ways to address the primary care provider shortage. 'My emphasis would be on engaging more of the physician extenders within the healthcare,' Iversen said.

Rupee posts biggest single-day gain since November 2022, ends at 85.21
The Indian rupee strengthened nearly 80 paise on Friday to post its best day since November 2022 and closed at 85.21 per dollar, versus 86 per dollar Thursday, LSEG data showed. The rupee strengthened due to dollar sales from foreign banks, IPO related flows and likely intervention by the Reserve Bank of India, traders said. The rupee, which had dipped past the 86/$1 mark on Thursday, recovered along with other emerging market currencies as the dollar index dipped to 99.3, amid worries over fiscal health of the US. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo The rupee opened at 85.97 per dollar on Friday and weakened to about 86.06/$1 levels in the early hours of the trade, where the RBI likely sold dollars to contain further weakness, a trader said. 'There was some possible intervention by the RBI initially, and then the IPO flows hit, which took the rupee to a stronger level. Once 85.80/$1 was broken, traders started cutting their long dollar positions,' said Anil Bhansali, head of treasury at Finrex Treasury Advisors. IPO for Leela Hotels will open on May 26 with large Anchor investors bidding on May 23. The Aegis Vopak Terminals IPO will also open for subscription on May 26 Live Events Traders expect the rupee to be in the range of 84.75 to 85.50 on Monday as dollar demand would be muted due to a holiday in the US markets. On the other hand, Bank of America updated its forecasts, expecting the rupee to be at 84/$1 by December 2025, from a prior forecast of 87/$1. This comes after other international banks upgraded their forecasts turning more bullish on the Indian rupee. MUFG Bank revised its forecasts about three weeks ago to 84/$1 by December 2025 from 87/$1, while ANZ Bank upgraded its December forecast for the rupee to 86 from earlier expectations of 88.5. Nomura, too, expects the rupee to be at 84/$1 by December.

Costco butter: Wholesaler introduces purchase limits of 30 blocks but still sells out
Pak'nSave Westgate, just under 1.5km around the corner from Costco, was today selling the Pams Pure Butter 500g block for $8.29, or $1.66 per 100g, and the Anchor 500g was $9.99, or $2 per 100g. Woolworths Westgate, just a kilometre away from Costco, was today pricing its store-brand Woolworths Butter 500g at $8.49, or $1.70 per 100g, and Anchor 500g was $9.90, or $1.98 per 100g. It was no wonder there were reports of Costco's salted and unsalted varieties running out as shoppers took home trolley-loads of butter. Loyal customers have shared photographs from inside the store this week, showing lines of people waiting to get their hands on the cheap produce. Several customers have spoken of their disappointment after travelling some distance to the store specifically for the butter, only to find stocks had sold out. And today, photographs were posted on the store's unofficial Facebook page of notices inside the shop about purchase limits. 'Limit 30 blocks of butter per membership (i.e. per household),' the store's notices said. However, it seems the restrictions were not enough to keep enough stock on the shelves this morning. One Costco customer reported the store had run out of salted and unsalted butter at 10.24am, less than half an hour after opening time. Westpac economist Paul Clark has told the Herald that retail prices for butter generally moved in line with export prices. 'Given that, it is reasonable to suggest that, with Global Dairy Trade auction prices for butter having reached new highs, combined with a generally weaker New Zealand dollar … should see retail prices ratchet higher in coming months. 'It is also important to note that retail price adjustments do tend to lag as inventories decline.' At the latest Global Dairy Trade auction last month, the price of butter rose 1.5% to an average of US$7679/MT (metric tonne). That compares to an average price of US$6815 ($11,546) on January 7.

I tried seven brands of salted butter and the difference was a major surprise
In my opinion, there's nothing quite like the simple joy of bread and butter. So, when I was given the opportunity to try seven different types of salted butter, I leapt at the chance. Little did I know that this seemingly simple taste test would push me to the limits of human endurance, writes Vita Molyneux. Until you've tasted seven distinct butters in a mere 30 minutes, you can't truly understand what the body is capable of. By mid way, I was struggling. Maybe I was being too generous with my spreading, or perhaps it was the 23-degree heat in my bedroom, but I did not feel great. I stared down at three more butters feeling my arteries beginning to clog. My head was spinning and I needed a drink of water and a lie down. I needed a piece of fresh fruit, I needed a hug. Instead I took a deep breath, reminded myself that this is my job and I'm extremely lucky to have it, and cracked on. By the end, I believe I had transcended. But the results were in and I have declared a winner - and a loser. All the butters were left out on my counter for an hour to achieve the perfect spreadability, reports the Express. The seven salted butters I sampled were: All Things Butter, Lurpak Slightly Salted, Kerrygold, Anchor, Tesco own brand, Aldi Cowbelle and Lidl Dairy Manor. Lurpak This is a classic. It's my usual purchase, but I must confess, I rarely indulge in just bread and butter, so I most often use it in cooking. I had high expectations but, to be honest, Lurpak left me somewhat disappointed. It tasted a bit oilier than I anticipated, and the salt was more subtle than I prefer. However, the texture and spreadability were good. Overall, Lurpak scores OK. Rating: 6/10. All Things Butter The colour of this was a stunning rich yellow. When I sliced off the piece I was going to taste I was taken aback by its crumbly texture. However, after softening, the butter was rich, creamy and indulgent with the perfect level of salt. This butter tasted like luxury, and I loved it! Rating: 9/10. Aldi Cowbelle This one had the best spreadability so far - it went on the bread perfectly and was the saltiest of the bunch. There was an aftertaste of the sea, but I like the sea, so that's fine. It had a rich, golden colour, and almost had a hint of garlic about it (although that could be the chopping board). Really lovely. Rating: 8/10. Kerrygold The spreadability was a little poor, but it didn't tear the bread, which is always a good sign. It had the most gorgeous colour of all the butters, a stunning yellowish gold - I suppose it's in the name. However, it wasn't very salty at all, and the texture was pretty nondescript. Overall, OK. Rating: 6/10. Lidl Dairy Manor This butter was nearly white, and quite salty, with a slightly bitter aftertaste. It had top-notch spreadability and I favour the saltier ones, so this gets an extra point. Rating: 7/10. Tesco Tesco's own brand was a real let down. It was overly oily and lacked flavour with no real salty tang. Despite its spreadability and appealing colour, I can only award Tesco a modest score. Rating: 4/10. Anchor The final hurdle! The end was in sight. This butter had a pleasing texture and was rich and creamy, although not as salty as I might prefer - instead it had that peculiar garlic undertone like the Aldi butter. But again, that could very well have been my wooden chopping board. It was satisfactory, but nothing exceptional, so it receives an in-between score. Rating: 5/10. Final thoughts All Things Butter clinched the title for the best butter, and sadly, Tesco's own brand needs to be cast aside. But overwhelmingly, I learned a crucial lesson - too much of a good thing is indeed a real phenomenon. The next time I'm offered such a decadent taste test, I am calling for reinforcements. sent twice daily to your inbox Look for places near you
