\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Federal health officials say the sign-ups represent consumers who enrolled in a plan and followed through by paying their first month’s premiums. The numbers cover the healthcare.gov enrollment period through March 31.

ZURICH (AP) – Sepp Blatter’s reign as FIFA (FEE’-fuh) president is expected to end within the next nine months following his announcement that he’s stepping down. The decision was announced just days after he was elected to his fifth term amid a corruption scandal that has led to the federal indictments of 14 people. The Swiss attorney general said Blatter was not under investigation in Switzerland, but authorities said last week they have opened a criminal probe into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding votes.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LONDON (AP) – Buckingham Palace has taken the unusual step of confirming that Queen Elizabeth II went to a hospital for her annual medical checkup after social media comments touched off speculation on her health. Speculation started after a tweet posted on a BBC account said the queen was being treated at the hospital. The BBC later apologized, saying the mistake occurred during an exercise it described as a “technical rehearsal for an obituary.”
