Heroic parents, adorable kids and one feisty grandma: The 11 most inspiring parenting stories of 2022

From terrifying hurricanes to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas , events from the past year packed plenty of emotion for parents.

But even during the year's darkest moments, inspiring stories kept on emerging. Here are some of our most moving real-life tales from the parenting trenches in 2022.

1. During Hurricane Ian, a mom swam out her front door with her baby in a plastic storage bin

When Hurricane Ian flooded Callie Brown and Chad Duckwall's Florida home in September, the married couple went into "survival mode."

As the water rose, Brown strapped their 3-month-old son Charlie into his car seat and dumped out plastic bins full of Halloween and Christmas decorations. She placed Charlie in one bin and her cat Tucker in the other.

The couple grabbed the bins and swam out their front door, careening into the street and hitting an RV parked at a two-level home, in which they maneuvered their way to safety.

After the hurricane subsided, they discovered that their home was "unlivable,” Brown told TODAY.com in October .

“Just muck and mud. Our couch was on our kitchen counter and our roof took extensive wind damage,” she said at the time.

In a follow-up interview, Brown tells TODAY.com that her family is still "taking it one day at a time" while renting a local condo.

"I have flashbacks of the water rising in our house and swimming down our road," she says. "I definitely struggle with some anxiety. ... The whole thing makes you appreciate life more. I’m so thankful we’re all alive and that we get to watch Charlie grow."

2. A breastfeeding mom fought off a bald eagle to protect her pet goose

In May, Canadian mom Cait Oakley was breastfeeding her daughter Willow when she heard her pet goose Frankie making noise. She looked out the window and saw a bald eagle flying around her beloved pet.

Oakley raced outside — wearing only a pair of underwear and with her 4-month-old baby still nursing — and chased the bird, which was dragging Frankie. The eagle finally dropped the goose and flew away.

The family's doorbell camera recorded the dramatic incident , which Oakley's husband shared on social media.

Oakley didn't mind the footage being shared.

"I could have been naked and I’m like, 'Whatever, I’m feeding my baby,'" the mom of three told TODAY.com in June. "That was a part of life."

In a follow-up interview, Oakley tells TODAY.com that the eagle has not returned since goose Frankie's brush with death. Frankie is doing "great" and "living her best life," she says.

3. A boy with autism found confidence in an unlikely phrase: ‘Let’s go, Brandon’

A boy with autism misinterpreted the anti-President Biden phrase “Let’s go, Brandon” in the most empowering way.

Brandon Brundidge, now 10, deals with challenges in his daily life, his mom, Sheletta Brundidge of Minnesota, told TODAY.com in June.

“He’s very fearful of a lot of things — you know, like being around and talking to people,” she said. “And he stutters, so he will talk with his hand over his mouth — he thinks that he can catch the stutters as they come out.”

During a family vacation to Houston in March, Brandon noticed signs that read “ Let’s go, Brandon .” The phrase originated in October 2021 when NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast interviewed race car driver Brandon Brown at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. The crowd was chanting, “F--- Joe Biden,” which she suggested was, “Let’s go, Brandon.”

“We were in an RV park, and my son kept saying, ‘Mom, these people here love me!’ And I was like, ‘Boy, what are you talking about?’” Brundidge told TODAY.com. “And he said, ‘They got my signs up everywhere! They were waiting for me to get here!’ I just saw this sudden confidence come over him.”

 Brundidge didn’t have the heart to tell her son the phrase was “really a rallying cry to insult the president.”

When Brandon’s confidence grew by the day, Brundidge had inspiration for her next children’s book, which she titled, “Brandon Spots His Sign.”

The mom sent President Biden a copy of her new book, published in April — and he wrote back, commending Brandon for his courage.

In a follow-up interview, Brundidge tells TODAY.com that because Brandon is so confident, he lost his stutter and stopped speech therapy.

Brandon also has become friends with Brown, the race car driver. Brundidge says they speak often, and Brandon keeps a picture of Brown by his bedside.

“I never wanted Brandon to lack confidence or have trouble communicating,” Brundidge says. “His story offers hope that things can, and will, get better. “

4. A 13-year-old girl published a book about her mother's deportation

Estela Juarez, 13, was inspired to write a children's book when her mother, Alejandra Juarez, who was living in the U.S. as an undocumented citizen, was deported to Mexico.

“I wanted to get people to listen, especially legislators, and make changes in immigration laws,” Estela told TODAY.com in September on the day Macmillan published her picture book, “ Until Someone Listens ,” co-written with Lissette Norman.

Alejandra and her husband Temo raised their daughters, Estela and Pamela, 21, in Florida until Alejandra's secret came out during a traffic stop in 2013.

The mom was put under an  order of supervision  (a waiting period) but in 2018, she was deported. The family was separated for three years, excluding a period of time when Estela lived with her mom in Mexico.

In 2021, Alejandra was given a one-year humanitarian parole that expires in May 2023. Until then, the family is together.

Estela and her family participated in the 2019 Netflix series “Living Undocumented.” The teen also wrote about her mom to President Biden in a letter she read aloud during the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

"We are in the process for applying for the renewal of my Humanitarian Parole," Estela's mom tells TODAY.com. "If denied, I will have to return to Mexico on May 4, 2023. This time, Estela will be coming with me. Pamela and my husband will remain here and visit us as often as they can."

Estela is writing a chapter book for teens that describes her life in greater detail. "She is working on her seventh chapter," says Alejandra.

5. A grandma went viral for ranking her 10 grandchildren by their behavior

Don't get on the bad side of New Jersey firecracker Mary LaMorte — not even her grandchildren are spared her sarcasm.

In October, a comedian named Dan LaMorte made a TikTok video revealing his grandmother's "ranking" system, a wooden board to keep her 10 grandchildren in line.

The board hangs on the wall and holds magnets of their faces, which Mary re-arranges in accordance with their behavior.

“I’m number four, this is the highest I’ve ever been,” Dan said in the video. “I did just get two new tattoos though, so I’m a bit nervous about what that’s going to do for my ranking.”

In the footage, Mary gasps when Dan shows his ink.

"This is what I think of your new tattoos," she said, moving Dan's magnet to slot number 10.

The viral video, now with almost 4 million views, scored Dan points.

“I’m now at No. 3 because Nanny is excited about being an internet star. She’s giving me credit for that,” he told TODAY.com . “The day after the TikTok went viral, she went and got her hair and nails done.”

6. A father whose son was killed in the Uvalde shooting protested at Robb Elementary School for 10 days

Brett Cross lost his  10-year-old son Uziyah Garcia in the tragic Robb Elementary shooting in May.

In September, Cross camped outside the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District demanding (on behalf of himself and other victims' families) the suspension of district police officers until a third-party investigation was conducted.

In June, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw testified before a Senate committee that police response was an “abject failure and antithetical to everything we learned over the last two decades since the  Columbine massacre .”

“I’m not backing down,” Cross told TODAY.com in an October phone interview from outside the district building on the 10th day of protest. “I’m a pissed-off dad who is going to do everything in his power to not let this happen to another child or another father or another mother.”

On Oct. 7, the school district suspended its entire police department , saying that “recent developments have uncovered additional concerns with department operations.”

Following the news, Cross tweeted , “We did it! And we are going home!”

7. A single dad went viral for a video about needing a date to an amusement park

A single father who posted a TikTok video about his search for a date to an Ohio amusement park got sweet solicitations.

"Hello, I am currently looking for a plus-one to accompany my 15-year-old daughter, her friend and myself to Kings Island on Saturday, September 10,” Chris Cozad, 44, said in his August video .

Cozad had modest specifications: A non-smoking, single woman who was at least 34 years old and enjoyed roller coasters. "And someone who's as much fun as me," he joked.

"Don't let the gray hairs and the beard fool you," he added. “I do also have the 'Dad bod' to go with it. If that’s not enough incentive, this also comes with a Fast Lane Plus pass, so we can skip the roller coaster lines all day long."

The father of four received thousands of responses from TikTok and selected one bachelorette.

"She’s very private,” Cozad told TODAY.com in September. "But I will say, I liked the way she worded her response — her confidence came through."

In a video recorded at the theme park, Cozad introduced his date, Stephanie.

In a follow-up interview, Cozad tells TODAY.com that he and Stephanie had dinner before their date to Kings Island: "It was a pre-date, to make sure the other wasn't psycho."

They didn't fall in love, but Cozad made a new friend.

"I was looking to have fun with the video and while I needed a date, I wasn’t expecting anything," he says. "If it turned into a (relationship), that would have been all right."

Cozad is still single. With New Year's Eve approaching, would he look for love again? "Maybe," he says. "If my daughter helps me."

8. When no one RSVP'd to the birthday party of a little girl mourning her late mom, the internet stepped in

A few months after a young girl named Charlotte lost her mom Jennifer to brain cancer, her big sister Chloe Sexton planned a party for her eighth birthday. When only one child RSVP'd, Sexton went on TikTok.

"PSA .... if a kid in your child's class gives out birthday invitations, just come," Sexton said in the video . "It's like, an hour or two of your life. Please, just come."

After Sexton posted, the RSVPs came in.

"I had a family from Australia face-timing me asking what Charlotte liked and what they could send her," Sexton told TODAY.com in July .

“On the day of the party, kids just kind of showed up," she added. "Parents I had talked to just kept filing into my house and I was like, 'Welcome!' We had our garage and yard full of people. It was a packed house."

9. Many schools approved mental health days for students in 2022

With the pandemic throwing stress onto everyone's plate — children included — schools took action.

As reported by TODAY.com in July, 12 states began allowing excused absences for mental health days : Washington, Illinois, Colorado, California, Maine, Arizona, Nevada, Connecticut, Kentucky, Virginia, Oregon and Utah.

"When it comes to mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, those are also medical conditions that can interfere with anyone’s ability to function at work and at school,” Dr. Christine M. Crawford, the associate medical director at the National Alliance on Mental Illness, told TODAY.

Crawford encouraged parents to monitor their children's emotional state.

"It only takes two weeks of experiencing symptoms of low energy, poor sleep, poor concentration and having negative thoughts about yourself … to meet criteria for a depressive episode," she noted.

Mental health days don't all look the same, either.

"It could be baking a cake or watching Netflix — anything that allows your brain to get back to its baseline," she said.

10. A video of an adopted child spotting her mom at a school concert sparked joy

One toddler had a gleeful reaction when she noticed her adoptive mom in the audience of her school concert.

"Instead of singing, she kept pointing at me saying, ‘My mommy.’ So grateful I captured this beautiful moment," Genevieve Traversy of North Carolina captioned a TikTok video of her daughter, Amaris, originally posted in 2019 and again in 2022.

"I realized that if I shared the beauty in parenting, including foster care and adoption, I could help others," Traversy tells TODAY.com.

Amaris, who entered the foster system as a newborn, now has four siblings: Faith, 12, Isaiah, 14, Kahleb, 19 and JJ, 23.

In September, Traversy told TODAY.com that when Amaris came to live with her and her husband, she was shy.

"She’d never drank out of a cup before and she had a lot of fears — like she was terrified of taking baths and she didn’t like to be touched. She liked to bite," Traversy said. “We had to pour a lot, a lot , of love into her. There was quite a bit of crying — not just from her, but from all of us. It was hard.”

Traversy, who is a foster care recruiter, tells TODAY.com that Amaris has a "big personality."

"When you first meet her, she tends to be shy but when she gets to know you, she will talk your ear off," she says. "She enjoys dancing, singing, coloring, Barbies, baking and gymnastics. Her imagination often comes out when she colors or pretends to cook in her little kitchen."

People around the world have contacted Traversy to ask how they can adopt or become a foster parent.

"Helping children in foster care find a loving, forever home is my ultimate goal," she says.

11. A mother's musings on empty-nest syndrome touched hearts

As mother of six Karalynne Call helped her third son move out of the family home, she wrote down some last-minute reminders:

Eat fruits and vegetables daily, drink filtered water, make sure processed foods contain whole ingredients, keep your body moving, get eight hours of sleep, and remember that true health is mental, spiritual and emotional well-being.

The certified nutritionist shared the list on her Instagram page for her more than 800,000 followers. She captioned the post: "10 things I hope my kids know about health when they leave my home."

"As a newer parent, you’re figuring out how you want to raise your kids and what values you want to instill in them," Call tells TODAY.com. "As an empty nester, you’re reflecting back on the years you spent raising your kids to be the people they are today. In both instances, my post sparked emotions because at the core of it was something both types of parents are fiercely familiar with — what it means to love your kids."

The Beautiful Game is not focused on the politics of their lot in life, but rather using athletic skills and a little hope to take them off the streets and into the global eye as part of the Homeless World Cup. It’s a sporting event that takes place nearly every year since being founded in 2003 and so far has helped 1.2 million homeless people see some possible light by way of participation in this universal street soccer event.

The setting for this one is Rome, and at its center is a focus on the English team, a spirited if somewhat disparate and oddball bunch chosen for this unusual event, a Special Olympics of a very different stripe. Bringing them together is grieving widower Mal (Nighy), who has a successful background in the sport but now devotes his life to scouting potential team members for each annual competition (you only get to do this once).

In Rome we meet the various team members and see each is a totally different individual to whom life has thrown a curveball, so why not kick it ? Vinny finds his roommate is Nathan (a terrific Calllum Scott Howells), a likable and enthusiastic guy who we will learn could not beat his heroin addiction unless he is on his meds. Vinny demonstrates his aloof and sour manner in dealing with Nathan — and everyone else, for that matter, as he feels he really doesn’t belong with this group even after being royally welcomed by them due to his obvious talents, if not his actual background of which they have no idea.

Aldan ( Robin Nazari ), Cal (Kit Young), Jason (Sheyi Cole) and others each have their own hangups and problems, but this is a team you want to root for. Mal makes sure they get their chance to shine right from their first game against South Africa, which gives them a jump-start of 3 points towards the cup simply because the team missed their connection and didn’t show. There will, of course, be more who actually do, like Japan, and we see homelessness is a problem experienced everywhere on the planet, but humanity is the common denominator.

Valeria Golino is very fine as the spirited executive in charge of the operation as well as its No. 1 cheerleader. Nighy could not be better or more appealing here, while Ward ( The Old Guard) has a tough task but is excellent in navigating the often unlikable Vinny, a man with loads of potential who never landed a goal in life.

Colin Farrell was a producer and narrator for the 2008 feature documentary, Kicking It , that inspired this film to some degree, and he and his sister Claudine Farrell are among the producers of this one too. Among the large cast are actual Homeless World Cup players taking on non-speaking roles, a nice touch and opportunity provided by the filmmakers. Thea Sharrock ( Me Before You, Wicked Little Letters ) directs with heart but never overwhelms the film with the usual sentimental tropes of the genre. On the heels of Taika Waititi’s 2023 Next Goal Wins , about a losing ragtag Samoan soccer team , this is another admirable addition to a subgenre that relies heavily on the appeal of its cast. The Beautiful Game scores big time in that regard.

Title: The Beautiful Game Distributor: Netflix Release date: March 29, 2024 (streaming) Director: Thea Sharrock Screenwriter: Frank Cottrell Boyce Cast: Bill Nighy, Micheal Ward, Callum Scott Howells , Kit Young, Tom Vaughan, Sheyi Cole, Robin Nazari, Valeria Golino, Cristina Rodlo Rating: PG-13 Running time: 2 hr, 5 min

Screens are everywhere in schools. do they actually help kids learn.

By Jessica Grose

Opinion Writer

A few weeks ago, a parent who lives in Texas asked me how much my kids were using screens to do schoolwork in their classrooms. She wasn’t talking about personal devices. (Smartwatches and smartphones are banned in my children’s schools during the school day, which I’m very happy about; I find any argument for allowing these devices in the classroom to be risible.) No, this parent was talking about screens that are school sanctioned, like iPads and Chromebooks issued to children individually for educational activities.

I’m embarrassed to say that I couldn’t answer her question because I had never asked or even thought about asking. Partly because the Covid-19 era made screens imperative in an instant — as one ed-tech executive told my colleague Natasha Singer in 2021, the pandemic “sped the adoption of technology in education by easily five to 10 years.” In the early Covid years, when my older daughter started using a Chromebook to do assignments for second and third grade, I was mostly just relieved that she had great teachers and seemed to be learning what she needed to know. By the time she was in fifth grade and the world was mostly back to normal, I knew she took her laptop to school for in-class assignments, but I never asked for specifics about how devices were being used. I trusted her teachers and her school implicitly.

In New York State, ed tech is often discussed as an equity problem — with good reason: At home, less privileged children might not have access to personal devices and high-speed internet that would allow them to complete digital assignments. But in our learn-to-code society, in which computer skills are seen as a meal ticket and the humanities as a ticket to the unemployment line, there seems to be less chatter about whether there are too many screens in our kids’ day-to-day educational environment beyond the classes that are specifically tech focused. I rarely heard details about what these screens are adding to our children’s literacy, math, science or history skills.

And screens truly are everywhere. For example, according to 2022 data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, only about 8 percent of eighth graders in public schools said their math teachers “never or hardly ever” used computers or digital devices to teach math, 37 percent said their math teachers used this technology half or more than half the time, and 44 percent said their math teachers used this technology all or most of the time.

As is often the case with rapid change, “the speed at which new technologies and intervention models are reaching the market has far outpaced the ability of policy researchers to keep up with evaluating them,” according to a dazzlingly thorough review of the research on education technology by Maya Escueta, Andre Joshua Nickow, Philip Oreopoulos and Vincent Quan published in The Journal of Economic Literature in 2020.

Despite the relative paucity of research, particularly on in-class use of tech, Escueta and her co-authors put together “a comprehensive list of all publicly available studies on technology-based education interventions that report findings from studies following either of two research designs, randomized controlled trials or regression discontinuity designs.”

They found that increasing access to devices didn’t always lead to positive academic outcomes. In a couple of cases, it just increased the amount of time kids were spending on devices playing games. They wrote, “We found that simply providing students with access to technology yields largely mixed results. At the K-12 level, much of the experimental evidence suggests that giving a child a computer may have limited impacts on learning outcomes but generally improves computer proficiency and other cognitive outcomes.”

Some of the most promising research is around computer-assisted learning, which the researchers defined as “computer programs and other software applications designed to improve academic skills.” They cited a 2016 randomized study of 2,850 seventh-grade math students in Maine who used an online homework tool. The authors of that study “found that the program improved math scores for treatment students by 0.18 standard deviations. This impact is particularly noteworthy, given that treatment students used the program, on average, for less than 10 minutes per night, three to four nights per week,” according to Escueta and her co-authors.

They also explained that in the classroom, computer programs may help teachers meet the needs of students who are at different levels, since “when confronted with a wide range of student ability, teachers often end up teaching the core curriculum and tailoring instruction to the middle of the class.” A good program, they found, could help provide individual attention and skill building for kids at the bottom and the top, as well. There are computer programs for reading comprehension that have shown similar positive results in the research. Anecdotally: My older daughter practices her Spanish language skills using an app, and she hand-writes Spanish vocabulary words on index cards. The combination seems to be working well for her.

Though their review was published in 2020, before the data was out on our grand remote-learning experiment, Escueta and her co-authors found that fully online remote learning did not work as well as hybrid or in-person school. I called Thomas Dee, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education, who said that in light of earlier studies “and what we’re coming to understand about the long-lived effects of the pandemic on learning, it underscores for me that there’s a social dimension to learning that we ignore at our peril. And I think technology can often strip that away.”

Still, Dee summarized the entire topic of ed tech to me this way: “I don’t want to be black and white about this. I think there are really positive things coming from technology.” But he said that they are “meaningful supports on the margins, not fundamental changes in the modality of how people learn.”

I’d add that the implementation of any technology also matters a great deal; any educational tool can be great or awful, depending on how it’s used.

I’m neither a tech evangelist nor a Luddite. (Though I haven’t even touched on the potential implications of classroom teaching with artificial intelligence, a technology that, in other contexts, has so much destructive potential .) What I do want is the most effective educational experience for all kids.

Because there’s such a lag in the data and a lack of granularity to the information we do have, I want to hear from my readers: If you’re a teacher or a parent of a current K-12 student, I want to know how you and they are using technology — the good and the bad. Please complete the questionnaire below and let me know. I may reach out to you for further conversation.

Do your children or your students use technology in the classroom?

If you’re a parent, an educator or both, I want to hear from you.

Caitlin Clark, Iowa roll by Colorado into Elite Eight grudge match with Angel Reese and LSU

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

ALBANY — The Sweet 16 was just another commercial for college basketball’s biggest star . 

Caitlin Clark was a magnet for every eye, the subject of every conversation, a magician and tornado, conductor and bulldozer, who alternated will and skill and misdirection to leave defenders dumbfounded. 

Saturday’s sold-out MVP Arena provided the stage for another brilliant showcase, as Clark carved up No. 5 Colorado for 29 points, 15 assists (two turnovers) and six rebounds in Iowa’s 89-68 win. 

“Honestly, I think when I step on the court, like a calming sense comes over me. This is where I’m supposed to be,” Clark said. “It’s just kind of like, go let your work shine, go have fun, go have a blast, and win or lose, there’s a lot to hold your head high about. 

“I came in with a sense of a calming presence and knowing that I have people that have my back and this is a game that I put a lot of time into, and I’m only promised 40 more minutes. Might as well go win it.” 

No win could be as important as the next — a return bout fit for an octagon. 

On Monday night, No. 1 Iowa (32-4) and defending champion, No. 3 LSU (31-5) will meet one day shy of the one-year anniversary of last year’s national title game, pitting Clark and Angel Reese — who infamously mocked the Iowa superstar at the close of LSU’s 102-85 win, which drew a record 9.9 million viewers — against each other in a sequel seemingly scripted by TV executives. 

The Hawkeyes (32-4) — who before last season hadn’t made the Final Four since 1993 — are now one win from cutting another net, from slaying the Tigers who prevented a girl from West Des Moines from bringing Iowa its first national championship. 

In last year’s matchup, Clark had 30 points and eight assists, but LSU finished with the highest-scoring game in championship history. 

“We’re excited,” Clark said of the rematch. “Anytime you have a chance to go up against somebody you lost to, it brings a little more energy. … I think overall it’s just going to be a really great game for women’s basketball.” 

After three straight subpar outings, Iowa had its strongest performance in weeks. 

Clark — the only woman in Division I history to lead the nation in scoring and assists (twice) — made 3-of-11 3-pointers, but did virtually everything else, repeatedly attacking the rim (making 10-of-11 2-pointers) and creating space for her supporting cast, before throwing passes that only Patrick Mahomes could complete. 

“Her passing is insane,” said senior Gabbie Marshall, one of five Hawkeyes to finish with double-digit points. “There’s a lot of attention on Caitlin and she does a great job of finding her teammates, finding who’s open, reading the defense before the defense even does what they’re going to do.” 

In a rematch of last year’s Sweet 16, Iowa led 48-35 at halftime and never faced a single-digit deficit again. 

Now, another Final Four is 40 minutes away. 

Redemption, too. 

“I’m not caught up in the past, not caught up in the future,” Clark said. “I try to keep my feet right in the present and be where my feet are. … I don’t think I wouldn’t be able to be the player I am if I was too worried about what has happened or what is going to happen.”

2024 Houston Open leaderboard, scores: Scottie Scheffler eyes third straight PGA Tour win heading into Round 4

The top name in the game will aim to emerge from a conjested leaderboard on sunday.

We've seen this movie before and may know exactly how it ends. Scottie Scheffler will take a share of the lead into the final round of the 2024 Houston Open with eyes on his third straight PGA Tour victory. With one, he joins the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson as the most recent players to accomplish such a feat -- this, in Scheffler's final start before the Masters in two weeks. 

Scheffler stands at 9 under, alongside David Skinns, Stephan Jaeger, Thomas Detry and Alejandro Tosti, thanks to an eight-birdie 66 on Saturday. In total, 21 players find themselves within five strokes of the lead, setting up what is sure to be dramatic final round in Houston. 

That is unless the Sunday Scheffler from the past two tournaments appears once again.

Gaining more than seven strokes on the field in the final round en route to victory at both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship, Scheffler has thrived when the tension has been at its highest. He will need to be at his best again; back-nine mistakes have allowed a litany of players a chance to reign supreme on Sunday.

Seemingly without a crack in his armor with a new mallet putter in tow, Scheffler hasn't been his sharpest with his long game the last two days. A couple of water balls and a double bogey on Friday were shrugged off as outliers, but there the mistakes were again on Saturday.

Greenside in one on the drivable par-4 13th, Scheffler chipped across the green and made bogey on a hole where most players added a circle to their scorecard. Another short hole a few moments later bit Scheffler, however, when his tee shot on the par-3 15th landed 6 feet short of the pin, spun off the front and into the water leading to another double bogey.

The world No. 1 rebooted, as he so often does, and tacked on birdies on 16 and 17 to erase the mistake; however, it is the difference between sleeping on the lead alone and sleeping on it with four others. No matter how many are in with a chance, Scheffler remains the favorite. Should his usual game come through in the final round, the Texan will find himself in a place where he has become all too familiar: the winner's circle.

The leaders

T1. Scottie Scheffler, Stephan Jaeger, David Skinns, Alejandro Tosti, Thomas Detry (-9)

This isn't exactly a Murderers' Row of contenders for Scheffler, but this thing won't be handed to him. The four others acquitted themselves quite nicely in the third round, with Jaeger in particular standing out. The German has added some new pop in the big stick thanks to dedicated distance training, and it is paying dividends. 

Like Scheffler, he made some silly mistakes with missed par putts from 6 feet and 4 feet to go along with a water ball on 17 (where he managed to save par), but he is still right there. With final-round experience under his belt from the Farmers Insurance Open and playing alongside Scheffler on Saturday, Jaeger could be frisky.

"Yeah, that guy, he's pretty good," Jaeger said of Scheffler. "No, it was fun, right? That's kind of what we practice for, and we try to get in the lead and we're trying to have a chance to win. So, I'm excited."

Other contenders

T6. Taylor Moore, Akshay Bhatia, Nick Dunlap (-8) T9. Chad Ramey, Aaron Rai, Max Greyserman, Tony Finau (-7)

The round of the day came courtesy of Dunlap's bogey-free 63, which has positioned the 20-year-old to contend for his second PGA Tour title. Ever since breaking through as an amateur at The American Express, Dunlap has struggled ever so slightly as a professional. Though that dip was not totally unexpected, he nevertheless finished dead last at Pebble Beach and missed the cuts at Riviera and TPC Sawgrass. He also failed to register top 40s at Bay Hill and PGA National. Dunlap continues to learn each and every week, and Sunday will serve as yet another lesson with a chance to win again.

"It's still new, and I still get lost and don't know where to register and don't know where dining is," said Dunlap. "As far as I'm getting a little bit more comfortable out there. It obviously helps, today played alongside Gary [Woodland] and almost every week playing with either Scottie [Scheffler] or Sam [Burns], practice rounds, just being in their company has helped me."

2024 Houston Open updated odds and picks

Odds via Sportsline consensus

• Scottie Scheffler: 7/5
• Stephan Jaeger: 13/2
• Thomas Detry: 9-1
• Alejandro Tosti: 12-1
• Taylor Moore: 12-1
• Akshay Bhatia: 12-1
• Tony Finau: 14-1
• Nick Dunlap: 16-1

It is really hard to pick anyone other than the best player in the world over the last two years. Scheffler has a wave of momentum at his back, and yet in all honesty he seems to be playing with his C-game. If the A-game comes through for him on Sunday, Scheffler should run away from the field. (He may still have enough in the tank even if he doesn't.) If 7/5 is too light for your taste, then consider Moore at 12-1. His short game has been great through 54 holes and should keep him in it. If his ball-striking shows up, then he will have a chance.

A recession indicator flashing red for 23 straight months just reversed — and that's great news for stocks

• A closely watched recession indicator has stopped flashing red after a 23-month decline. 
• The Leading Economic Index gained 0.1% month-over-month in February.
• "The end of extended Conference Board LEI declines has generally been a positive signal for stocks," Carson Group said. 

A closely watched recession indicator has stopped flashing red after a 23-month decline, and that's great news for stocks, according to Carson Group strategist Barry Gilbert.

The Conference Board's Leading Economic Index gained 0.1% month-over-month in February, ending a near two-year decline.

Sustained declines in the Leading Economic Index have historically foreshadowed an imminent recession, but this time around it looks like a recession will have been avoided as the Federal Reserve attempts to engineer a soft landing. 

It's important to note that the Conference Board LEI is heavily weighted toward the goods economy and less so the service economy.

That's a problem when you consider that the makeup of today's economy is roughly 85% services, which is why the LEI has been trending negative for so long, as much of the strength in economic growth over the past year has been driven by services.

According to Carson Group, its internal Leading Economic Index, which puts a greater emphasis on the services economy, suggests trend growth for the economy through the rest of the year. That's in line with the Fed's GDPNow forecast of 2.1% growth in the first quarter.

From a stock market perspective, Carson Group crunched the numbers and found that the end of a decline in the LEI is typically followed by higher stock prices.

"The end of extended Conference Board LEI declines has generally been a positive signal for stocks," Gilbert said. 

Gilbert pointed to previous LEI declines, including a 22-month decline in 1975 and a 24-month decline in 2009, that were followed by double-digit returns for the stock market over the next year.

"It is noteworthy that the end of these two longer streaks corresponded to the end of some longer recessions. That gives us added confidence that we are past near-term recessionary risk," Gilbert said.

The average one-year return for the S&P 500 after the LEI turned positive following a negative streak is 15.6% with a win ratio of 85.7%. The median one-year return is even higher, at 19.2%. 

"The bottom line is that no matter which indicators you pay attention to, economic headwinds are slowly being taken out of play. Despite a strong first quarter so far for equities and the likelihood of bumps along the way, the outlook for stocks over the rest of the year still looks solid, whether looking at the macroeconomic backdrop or market history," Gilbert concluded.

Taxpayers encouraged to try innovative new option before April 15 deadline

IR-2024-68, March 12, 2024

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced today the full-scale launch of the innovative Direct File pilot and encouraged eligible taxpayers in 12 states to try the new service to file their tax returns online for free directly with the IRS.

The pilot effort has been in testing mode for several weeks, allowing early users to file their 2023 federal tax returns online for free and directly with the IRS. Thousands of taxpayers have successfully used the system, and early users are giving the new option positive reviews.

Following the initial Direct File success, the IRS is moving the pilot out of the test phase, allowing all eligible taxpayers in the 12 states – representing 19 million taxpayers – to use the system at any time. Taxpayers can log in to Direct File to start their return and complete it any time before the April filing deadline.

“The early results from Direct File have shown taxpayers like the ease and convenience of the tool, and moving into the full-scale launch of the pilot will give more taxpayers the chance to use this free option,” said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. “Expanding Direct File as the tax deadline approaches will provide more taxpayers a way to file directly with the IRS for free, and it will give us more valuable information to assess this pilot. For those who haven’t filed their taxes in these 12 states, we encourage them to visit IRS.gov and see if Direct File is the right option for them.”

Direct File is one of many options that taxpayers have to file their taxes, including tax software and tax professionals. For the pilot, the IRS worked on a streamlined way for people with simpler tax situations to file directly with the agency.

“A team of experts from across government built and tested the Direct File pilot to give taxpayers an easy, accurate free way to file their taxes online directly with the IRS,” Werfel added. “Our goal with the Direct File pilot is to help people meet their tax obligations as easily and quickly as possible. We developed Direct File from the beginning with taxpayers’ help, and we’ll continue to talk to taxpayers about their experience to learn more about what taxpayers want for future digital services.”

Direct File walks the taxpayer through the complexities of the nation’s tax code to complete their filing easily with an accurate calculation of their refund or tax owed. Direct File is designed to be easy for taxpayers to use. At every step, it shows the work behind the calculations, so users can be confident that the tax return is complete and accurate. Once taxpayers start their return on the Direct File site, they can pause and then securely sign in to finish any time before the April filing deadline.

Users can also get support from special IRS customer service representatives through Direct File’s live chat feature. Direct File, like other electronic filing options, allows taxpayers to typically get their refund in less than 21 days when the direct deposit is chosen.

“We’ve gotten great initial feedback from the thousands of taxpayers who used it during testing,” Werfel said. “Many taxpayers we’ve heard from filed their taxes in less than 30 minutes using Direct File and praised it as an easy, no cost tax filing experience.”

Who’s eligible?

Taxpayers in 12 pilot states who meet certain requirements can use Direct File through the April tax deadline. Pilot states include:

• Massachusetts
• New Hampshire
• South Dakota
• Washington State

After completing their federal returns, taxpayers in the states with a state-income tax – Arizona, California, Massachusetts and New York -- will be guided to a state-sponsored tool to complete their state tax return.

The IRS designed the pilot to follow the best practices for launching a new technology platform by starting small, making sure it works and then building from there. The pilot is purposefully limited to cover relatively straightforward tax situations.

The Direct File pilot is an option for taxpayers who fall into these categories:

• Report income earned from jobs that generate a Form W-2; including taxpayers with more than one job with W-2 wages;
• Claim Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and the Credit for Other Dependents;
• Claim the standard deduction and deductions for educator expenses and student loan interest;
• Lived in the same state for the entire calendar year 2023.

Interested taxpayers can go to directfile.irs.gov , where they can determine if they are eligible. Using Direct File requires identity verification through ID.me. Once their identity is verified and they’ve signed in securely to Direct File, they will be providing the tax information directly to the IRS, not a third party.

For taxpayers who visit Direct File but aren’t eligible for the pilot, they will be directed to Free File on IRS.gov . Now in its 22nd filing season, taxpayers across the nation can access free software products provided by IRS Free File trusted partners. Through this public-private partnership, tax preparation and filing software providers make their online products available to eligible taxpayers. Eight private-sector Free File partners provide online guided tax software products this year to any taxpayer with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $79,000 or less in 2023. Free access to online products is available by starting from IRS Free File.

Direct File pilot for filing season 2024

The IRS launched the Direct File pilot for the 2024 filing season. The Inflation Reduction Act mandated that the IRS study interest in and feasibility of creating a direct e-filing tool taxpayers could use to prepare and file their federal income tax return. The IRS commissioned an independent study, which indicated broad interest in such a system, which the IRS detailed in a Direct File Report to Congress in May 2023.

Shortly after that report, as directed by the Treasury Department, the IRS assembled a team of tax experts, technologists, engineers and strategists from across government to build the Direct File system. The IRS worked closely with the U.S. Digital Service and the General Services Administration’s technology office 18F to build and test Direct File.

Initial testing began in early February 2024 with a handful of federal and state government employees, followed by short open availability windows for more taxpayers to start their returns. On March 4, the IRS announced that Direct File would enter final testing, which included an allotment of available spaces with more spaces added every day. Direct File is now open to all eligible taxpayers in pilot states to decide if it is the right option for them to file their 2023 federal tax return online for free, directly with IRS.
