Paul George was treated to a celebratory postgame shower live on TNT on Tuesday, when three of his teammates circled around and emptied water bottles on the Clippers’ All-Star wing moments after he returned to action with a resounding 34 points in a rousing comeback win over the Utah Jazz.
Two of the Clippers doing the soaking: Terance Mann and Amir Coffey, guys who have been Clippers for three seasons, as long as George.
The third: Newcomer Xavier Moon, a well-traveled 27-year-old rookie who on Saturday signed a two-way deal with the team.
In a sense, George’s triumphant return to NBA action after more than three months away coincided with Moon’s.
“I feel like this is where I’m supposed to be, it definitely feels great to be back,” Moon said Monday, when his presence at Honey Training Center gave the Clippers a second healthy, proven professional point guard for the first time since they traded Eric Bledsoe.
Moon has impressed this season, both in 21 games this season with the Agua Caliente Clippers and in a trio of 10-day hardship deals with the parent club in late December and January, when they were hit hard by the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
In the G League, the 6-foot-2 Moon averaged 18.7 points on 45.3% shooting, including 38.5% from deep. He also averaged 7 assists and just 2.2 turnovers, to go with 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals.
And in the first six NBA games of his career, the three-time Canadian Elite Basketball League MVP averaged 5.5 points and 1.7 assists in 13.8 minutes per game.

Moon – whose roundabout route to the NBA took him from Alabama to France, England, Canada and Israel – also was among the team leaders in good vibes while he was around.
That included counseling Reggie Jackson, the Clippers’ the resident high-energy hype man said, to “just smile, have fun!” and, importantly, to appreciate the opportunity to play the game.
“He’s just always positive, optimistic,” Jackson said of Moon in January. “Not B.S. It’s nothing overdone, you can just tell he’s very optimistic, he’s very confident in what he does.”
Looking back, Moon said his initial taste of the NBA fed that belief.
“The month that I had here was probably the best month of basketball I’ve ever played, even though I only played in six games,” Moon said. “I learned a lot. … I took that and that was able to get me that time that I needed to elevate my game even more, even though I went back to the G, I didn’t look at it as a downgrade or anything like that. I looked at it as an opportunity to work harder and get back here.”
“And while I was here the first time, I learned a lot from these guys, just how to lead a team, just being a good teammate, all the type of stuff,” Moon added. “And I took it back with me to the G and then just worked my tail off to get back here, so it definitely feels good to be back, seeing everybody again.”
COFFEY’S NEW ROLE
Moon filled the Clippers’ vacated two-way spot after they signed Coffey to a standard deal worth $153,488 for the rest of the season, per ESPN’s Bobby Marks. The deal makes the 6-7 wing a restricted free agent in the offseason, when the team will retain his Bird rights, meaning they can sign him for as much as 25% of the salary cap for a maximum of five seasons.
It was an expected reward for a dependable contributor who has started 28 of 63 games this season, with 25 of those starts coming after George was ruled out on Christmas with a torn ligament in his right elbow.
When George returned to the lineup Tuesday, Coffey came off the bench for the first time in eight contests and, a game after playing more than 37 minutes in a loss to Philadelphia, logged just 28 seconds against the Jazz.
Coffey still made an instant impact when he checked in late in the third quarter, yanked a rebound away from Donovan Mitchell and quickly delivered an outlet pass to George, who scored and drew a foul in transition to build on the brewing comeback. With that sequence, the Clippers trimmed what had been a 25-point deficit to 12 entering the fourth quarter.
In his postgame comments, Coach Tyronn Lue made sure to credit Coffey for his alertness off the bench.
“A big play for me was that rebound that Amir got at the end of the quarter and was able to score at the end of the quarter,” Lue said. “That was huge.”

2nd-generation KBO star thanks rookie phenom for bringing back father's memories
By Yoo Jee-ho
SEOUL, April 1 (Yonhap) -- Whenever Kiwoom Heroes outfielder Lee Jung-hoo sees Kia Tigers rookie sensation Kim Do-yeong play, he sees a bit of his father, the retired South Korean baseball legend Lee Jong-beom.
Perhaps comparisons aren't fair, but it is not difficult to notice similarities between Kim, an 18-year-old phenom with an enviable skill set, and Lee Jong-beom, the ultimate five-tool star in his heyday in the 1990s.
Kim is an athletic shortstop with power and speed just like Lee, who could flirt with the elusive .400 batting average, hit 30-plus home runs and steal 80 bases at his peak. Lee, the 1994 league MVP and 1997 Korean Series MVP, was the most famous Tiger in his playing days. Kim, a Gwangju native like Lee, is already being hailed as the second coming of Lee Jong-beom.
Lee Jong-beom, currently the LG Twins' minor league manager, was nicknamed the "Son of the Wind," which made Lee Jung-hoo the "Grandson of the Wind." Tigers fans have begun calling Kim the "Stepson of the Wind."
As the actual son of the icon, Lee Jung-hoo is grateful for the way Kim's early success brought his father's incredible career back into the spotlight.
Kim, drafted with the territorial pick by the Tigers out of high school last year, led the preseason with a .432 batting average. He also homered twice and stole three bags in 12 games.
"For a rookie out of high school, Do-yeong has shown so much poise," Lee said of Kim during the annual KBO media day Thursday, two days before the start of the 2022 regular season. "Given how fast he is and how aggressive he is, he reminds me a lot of my father. There are many fans who've never seen my father play or who don't know anything about him, and I think Do-yeong has given them a chance to learn more about what my father did. As his son, I am really thankful, and I hope Do-yeong continues to play well."
The junior Lee said the "Next Lee Jong-beom" tag puts too much pressure on Kim but quipped, "Do-yeong is far better looking than my father."
"My father came out of college, and Do-yeong began his pro career early as a high school grad. I think Do-yeong will be better than my father by age 25 or 30," Lee Jung-hoo said. "Do-yeong even has the same intensity in his eyes that I saw from my father. He resembles my father much more than I do."
Lee Jung-hoo himself is not too shabby. He is the reigning Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) batting champion and is a lifetime .341 hitter. The Lees are the first father-son duo to have each won a batting title in league history. Since his debut in 2017, Lee ranks second in the KBO with 883 hits.
But the junior Lee is a vastly different type of player than his father. The son is probably the better contact hitter, but he doesn't have quite the same speed or power. The son is an outfielder who bats left and throws right, while the father, a righty, was a shortstop who only moved to a corner outfield position in the twilight of his career.
"I've never once thought my style of play resembles my father's in any way," Jung-hoo said. "I obviously respect him as my father and a baseball player, but I am just going to go my way."
Just as Kim did this year, Lee burst onto the scene in the preseason as a rookie in 2017. He batted .455 with three doubles and a triple in 12 games, and hit the ground running in the regular season en route to capturing the Rookie of the Year award -- all the while trying to move out of his father's shadow.
Speaking from experience of having played under a ton of pressure as a rookie, Lee advised Kim not to get caught up in media hype and instead take a long view of his career.
"As the season progresses, Do-yeong will start drawing even more attention than now, and that will only add pressure on him," Lee said. "He will have some great days and some not so great days. But I hope he doesn't dwell on those bad moments. He is just starting out now, and he will still have to figure out how to survive each and every day at this level.
"He will certainly run into a wall at some point, but I'd like to tell him he shouldn't get too down on himself," Lee continued. "It's best to just go and play baseball, not think about anything else."
During the group interview portion of the media day, Kim said it was "an honor" to be spoken in the same breath as Lee Jong-beom. He added he didn't feel he had earned that nickname as the second coming of the legend.
"I have to play well and put up good numbers like Jung-hoo," Kim said. "I think I was fortunate to have hit as well as I did in the preseason. I think the regular season will be a completely different animal and so I have to be prepared for that."

Which Starter should you choose in Coromon?
All three are powerful.
TRAGsoft’s Coromon features three starters that players can pick from at the start of their journey. Each starter is of a different type and possesses unique attributes. Although all serve a specific purpose, players might be get confused in picking one from the three. Hence, we’ve put together a guide explaining the strengths of each starter and which one to choose.
The Fire-type starter Toruga is an offence-focused Coromon specialising in quickly sweeping the battle floor. Water-type starter Nibblegar is geared towards being a tank, and finally, the Ice-type starter Cubzero has a mixture of both offence and defence.
Depending upon the information mentioned above, you can decide to pick a starter that mirrors your desired playstyle. Keep in mind no one starter is the clear best, and it boils down to your personal preference and playstyle. That said, Cubzero and its evolution line are arguably the most balanced out of all three. The Coromon’s Ice typing makes it very unique and is only weak to Fire and Heavy type. Cubzero’s final evolution Bearealis has a very balanced move set, and it can essentially fill the position of both damage dealer and a tank. That said, if used correctly, every starter has the potential of being the strongest.

Boston follows other cities in lifting mask mandate
Boston on Saturday became the latest city to lift an indoor mask mandate as cases of the novel coronavirus and severe hospitalizations from COVID-19 continue to decline nationwide.
The city’s Board of Health on Tuesday voted unanimously to lift the mask mandate at the recommendation of Bisola Ojikutu, the Commissioner of Public Health and Executive Director of the Boston Public Health Commission.
The lift was effective on Saturday, and residents no longer have to wear a face covering inside public spaces, including gyms, bars, restaurants and all places previously covered under the emergency order, according to a press release.
Mayor Michelle Wu (D) said she was “grateful that our city is ready to take this step in our recovery thanks to the hard work and commitment of residents keeping our communities safe over many, many months.”
“As we continue to make progress even while living with COVID, Boston will continue leading on public health to keep our communities safe, healthy, and prepared,” the mayor said in a statement.
Boston joins a slew of other cities lifting COVID-19 restrictions as the pandemic appears to be winding down for good. Philadelphia dropped its mask mandate after moving into an “all-clear phase,” the city announced on Wednesday.
States are also dropping statewide mask mandates as the U.S. enters a new and potentially final phase of the pandemic.
In Boston, 72 percent of the population is vaccinated and the confirmed coronavirus test positivity rate dipped to 2.3 percent from Feb. 23 to March 1.
Boston still recommends wearing masks if a resident is high-risk or around someone who is, but Ojikutu said the government is ‘optimistic.’
“I am optimistic about where our city is headed, and the Commission will continue to monitor our key metrics and adjust our policies accordingly,” the health commissioner said in a statement.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Which backpack leaf blower is best?
If you have a yard or patch of land, you may have some difficulty dealing with leaves in the fall. Smaller yards with fewer trees usually clean up easily with a handheld leaf blower. But if you have a large plot that has plenty of foliage, you might want to consider investing in a backpack leaf blower. These handy devices can significantly cut your workload. And there are a number of worthwhile options in every price range.
The best backpack leaf blower for most consumers is the Echo PB-580T due to its budget-friendly price, performance, weight and reliability.
What to know before you buy a backpack leaf blower
They’re perfect for large jobs
Since backpack leaf blowers are considerably more powerful than handheld models, you won’t have to walk as much. They transfer the bulk of the weight to your back, hips and legs instead of your shoulders and arms.
Most importantly, they let you work on your entire property without being tethered to an electrical outlet. It’s this versatility that makes backpack leaf blowers the go-to choice for contractors and commercial lawn care outfits.
Noise factor
Backpack leaf blowers pack more power than handheld models because it has an internal combustion engine. One of the biggest issues with this is how much noise it makes. Four-cycle backpack leaf blowers are usually in the neighborhood of 70-80 decibels, and two-cycle models can easily exceed 90 decibels. Aside from wearing proper ear protection, you’ll need to consider noise level regulations. Some communities have laws prohibiting the use of lawn power tools that exceed 65 decibels.
Fuel blend
Most backpack leaf blowers have two-cycle engines, which use a combination of gasoline and motor oil. It’s extremely important to remember to use this blend since the wrong mixture could wreck your leaf blower. Most use a fuel-to-oil blend, but this can vary based on the model. Take time to review the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure you use the right formula.
What to look for in a quality backpack leaf blower
Airspeed and cubic feet per minute
Both velocity and volume are important considerations. They’re related but not necessarily correlated. These factors vary depending on the design of the specific model and brand. If you want a truly effective backpack leaf blower that can handle a good amount of space, look for leaf blowers with a velocity of nearly 200 mph or more and at least 500 CFM in volume.
Throttle position
The leaf blower’s throttle control location is a subtle but important detail. Most users find that tube-mounted throttles are more convenient and comfortable to use. Leaf blowers with hip-mounted throttles tend to be slightly less expensive, but that depends on the brand. Ultimately, the choice will come down to your personal preference.
How much you can expect to spend on a backpack leaf blower
The most affordable backpack leaf blowers cost just over $200. The best options for private landowners are in the $500-$700 range. Those with landscaping businesses that do multiple jobs a week might want to invest in even more expensive models, some up in the thousands.
Backpack leaf blower FAQ
Are battery-powered backpack leaf blowers worth it?
A. Not really. If you have enough land and debris to need a backpack leaf blower, there aren’t battery-powered models that will last long enough to complete the job. To be clear, some systems allow you to strap high-powered, long-lasting batteries to your back for running specific leaf blowers, but they cost over $1,000.
What’s the best safety equipment for using a backpack leaf blower?
A. Wear work boots with plenty of traction as well as durable pants and long-sleeve shirts. These are important basics when working with any potentially hazardous tools. In addition, you should also use other safety equipment when using a commercial-grade leaf blower, such as protective glasses, earmuffs, earplugs and work gloves. All of these will keep you safe and ensure you’re protected while you’re using this heavy-duty equipment.
What’s the best backpack leaf blower to buy?
Top backpack leaf blower
What you need to know: It combines the performance of a commercial leaf blower with a consumer-friendly cost and lightweight design.
What you’ll love: It’s powerful enough to satisfy homeowners with large plots and plenty of brush. Echo is a well-respected manufacturer, so it’s an investment you can trust. It boasts a maximum airspeed of 215 mph and weighs just over 22 pounds.
What you should consider: One of its few drawbacks is that you can’t adjust or repair the carburetor.
Where to buy: Sold by Home Depot and Amazon
Top backpack leaf blower for the money
What you need to know: This relatively affordable option doesn’t sacrifice power or comfort.
What you’ll love: It’s one of the rare options that is less than $300 and still offers long-lasting effectiveness. It’s about as light as they come and significantly more powerful than a handheld mode.
What you should consider: It doesn’t quite have the same kind of power that many lawn care professionals need.
Where to buy: Sold by Home Depot
Worth checking out
What you need to know: Put simply, this four-cycle model is a beast of a leaf blower.
What you’ll love: It has more raw power and speed than just about any other option. Plus, since it uses a four-cycle motor, the sound it makes isn’t quite as painfully loud as others. If you need premium performance for professional jobs, this one is a great choice.
What you should consider: While it outperforms much of the competition, it may be too much power for the average homeowner.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon and Home Depot

Cellular redox status and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important regulators of apoptotic potential, playing a crucial role in the growth of cancer cell and their resistance to apoptosis. However, the relationships between the redox status and ROS production during apoptosis remain poorly explored. In this study, we present an investigation on the correlations between the production of ROS, the redox ratio FAD/NAD(P)H, the proportions of the reduced nicotinamide cofactors NADH and NADPH, and caspase-3 activity in cancer cells at the level of individual cells. Two-photon excitation fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) was applied to monitor simultaneously apoptosis using the genetically encoded sensor of caspase-3, mKate2-DEVD-iRFP, and the autofluorescence of redox cofactors in colorectal cancer cells upon stimulation of apoptosis with staurosporine, cisplatin or hydrogen peroxide. We found that, irrespective of the apoptotic stimulus used, ROS accumulation correlated well with both the elevated pool of mitochondrial, enzyme-bound NADH and caspase-3 activation. Meanwhile, a shift in the contribution of bound NADH could develop independently of the apoptosis, and this was observed in the case of cisplatin. An increase in the proportion of bound NADPH was detected only in staurosporine-treated cells, this likely being associated with a high level of ROS production and their resulting detoxification. The results of the study favor the discovery of new therapeutic strategies based on manipulation of the cellular redox balance, which could help improve the anti-tumor activity of drugs and overcome apoptotic resistance.

USDA forecasting higher food, grocery costs in 2022
(Gray News) - It looks like elevated food prices are going to continue this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The USDA released its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and predicted the cost of groceries would continue to increase to as much as 4%.
According to the Consumer Price Index, grocery and supermarket food prices were already 8.6% higher in February than last year and up nearly 1.5% from January to February in 2022.
As reported by the Associated Press, prices for U.S. consumers have continued to jump recently, leaving families facing the highest inflation rate since 1990.
“We’re getting into this situation where we have spiraling inflation,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “Inflation in one area drives inflation in another.”
Currently, the CPI reports all food categories are increasing in price other than fresh vegetables. Last year, the beef and veal categories had the most significant price increase of 9.3%, and the fresh vegetable category had the smallest at 1.1%. However, no food categories decreased in price in 2021.
Poultry prices are also expected to increase up to 7%, with egg prices predicted to increase up to 3.5% in 2022.
Overall, grocery store and supermarket food purchases are expected to increase up to 4%, with restaurant purchases or food away from home forecasted to increase up to 6.5%, according to the USDA.

How we pay the bills: Skipping meals and fewer car journeys
By Johny Cassidy
BBC News
- Published
Around 22 million households are about to have to pay a lot more for their energy bills, a move that could push millions into poverty.
As warnings grow of the worst drop in living standards since records began, the BBC will be following a number of people throughout the year to see how they are managing.
'We're cutting down on car journeys and stopped buying fresh fruit'
Ruchita Green has been thinking about spiralling costs for months, as she has watched petrol and food prices go up.
The 38-year-old lives near Grimsby in Lincolnshire with her husband Darren, a teacher, their three children and her husband's parents.
Their energy bill is already high at £198 a month, which includes the cost of heating an annexe in their home where Darren's parents live. They haven't yet summoned the courage to read their metre, but they are bracing themselves for a steep rise, and to have to tighten their belts. The average annual bill is likely to increase by £693, according to Ofgem - a rise like that would add another £58 to their monthly outgoings.
"We're really starting to worry about how it's all going to work," Ruchita says.
Darren's salary of about £2,750 a month is their main source of income. Ruchita runs a business teaching people how to cook Indian food in their own homes, but it doesn't bring in much and margins are tight. "If a client decides they want to have meat for starters and meat as part of the main course my heart sinks," she says. She will soon have to decide whether to increase her prices, or only cook cheaper vegetarian meals. She worries either might also cause a drop in her business.
The weekly petrol bill for their car has gone from £20 to £30 a week, so she's started to cut down on journeys. For the weekly shop, she's been buying cheaper brands, and buying tinned fruit instead of fresh, and they've cut down on takeaways, which she thinks has saved them at least £80 a month. She's also changed childminder, saving about £20 a week.
Another area they've had to cut down on is on some of their other children's after-school activities, which Ruchita says has been tough on their eldest children, aged 11 and six. "They ask me why can't we do multi-sports anymore and I have to tell them it's because we can't afford it."
At the moment they're just about managing, Ruchita says, but she is aware that further increases could have a bigger impact.
'I'm juggling things to make everything add up - it doesn't'
Esme Buxton often doesn't earn enough to make ends meet, and regularly relies on family for help.
She got a shock in December when her energy supplier told her the £30 monthly direct debit she'd been paying hadn't been enough to cover her energy bills, and it was increasing to £66. "They then put it up to £75 in February, and then again to £95 in March," she says.
The 30-year-old lives in a one-bedroom flat in Cheltenham which she shares with her Romanian rescue dog Arlo, and works as a freelance photographer and marketer. She says that the seasonal nature of wedding photography means she finds it hard to balance the books.
She knows she is fortunate that her family will help, and she keeps a tight rein on her spending, but looking at her budget from February it's easy to see just how precarious things are.
"I earned £1,188 in February. My total bills came to £1,603. I got £500 of a top-up loan from my dad and grandad," she says. "That left me with a grand total of £85 for any extras."
Those little extras are things like going swimming or to the gym or to have a coffee in the park with her mum. She was able to go to the cinema this month because of an offer she got with her mobile phone supplier, but as for things like eating out or the pub, they're all gone for the moment.
"I'm constantly worried about money and think about it all the time. I'm always juggling things in my head to try and make everything add up, which it doesn't."
As well as her £595 rent, £94 council tax and the money for other utility bills such as water and her phone, Esme also puts £300 aside every month for her annual tax bill. But the tax money is what she'll dip into if an unexpected bill comes in, like when she had to pay for a new wheel for her bike after it was stolen from outside her flat.
"The bike saves me money on public transport, so I knew I really needed to get it," she says, "but that money will have to be paid back from next month's budget which will leave me short again."
To help cut back, she now only uses the heating in the evening. She's even bought an air fryer in an attempt to stop using her oven. "The air fryer is great," she laughs. "I made donuts in it the other day."
Esme is also trying to cut back on her food budget. She's allowing herself around £30 a week and now almost exclusively shops in her local Lidl. She has noticed the cost of fresh fruit going up and now buys frozen.
The one thing she says she can't really cut back on is food for her dog Arlo. "I try to shop around online to get a good deal, but even with doing that I'm spending nearly £50 feeding her every month," she says. "I also have to pay pet insurance. If anything happened to her I wouldn't be able to afford the vet bills. All these things add up."
'If I eat late in the morning, I don't have to eat again until evening'
Andrew McIntyre owes his energy supplier £1,200, and his monthly bill is about to go up from £75 to £120 a month.
The 57-year-old lives off Universal Credit, and already regularly faces a shortfall between what he's got coming in and what he needs to pay on bills.
As he gets ready to go to a local food charity for a free meal - something he does one day a week and likes to get dressed up smartly for - he explains that it means he's had to choose between paying his rent and heating his flat.
"Every month I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul," he says. Andrew gets £325 a month in Universal Credit, and £351 a month in housing benefit. He has no savings. He pays £400 for rent, leaving him with £276 for food and bills.
Andrew tries to keep his energy use to a minimum. "During the winter I put on extra layers to keep warm," he says. "If I am really cold sitting watching TV in the evening, I'll get inside my sleeping bag on the sofa and keep warm like that."
He allows himself about £80 a month on food, but that includes him skipping meals. "If I can eat late in the morning then I don't have to eat again until my evening meal," he says.
He has time to go to different supermarkets in his hometown of Walsall in the West Midlands to find the cheapest deals. "I know the price of everything," he laughs. "A change of only a few pence really makes a difference to how far my money will go."
The rest of his money goes on paying his phone bill, water bill and council tax.
It's particularly important for Andrew that he keeps up with his rent. In 2009, he lost the factory job he'd worked at for nearly 29 years and split from his long-term partner, and he found himself living on the streets for seven months.
"I'll never forget the experience and how it hit me," he says. "If I have to choose between keeping a roof over my head and paying my electric bill, it's an easy choice. There's no way I'll ever end up homeless again."
Andrew says he really did feel close to the edge at times, but he's also strangely positive now about the experience.
"I can sit on my settee in the evening and be thankful for what I've got. I don't have a lot, but what I do have I'm thankful for," he says.
"I can sit on my settee in the evening and be thankful for what I've got. I don't have a lot, but what I do have I'm thankful for," he says.
How can I cut my energy bills?
According to Citizen's Advice there are some simple things you can try.
- Check your thermostat: Turning your thermostat down by just one degree can save you around £65 a year. Only lower it to a temperature you feel comfortable at - as a guide, many people find this is between 18-21 degrees.
- Keep the heat in: Check your home for any gaps in the doors, windows and floors. Blocking any holes where you could get a draught could save you around £30 a year. If you're renting, ask your landlord to ensure your home has good insulation.
- Turn off anything you're not using: Turning your appliances off instead of leaving them on standby could save around £40 a year. Turning off lights when you're not using them - even if it's just off for a few seconds - could save £14 a year. Consider using LED lightbulbs, which cost less to run.
If you're struggling to afford your energy bills, you might be able to get support from the government or your energy supplier. The first step is to call your supplier and ask them if they offer any grants to help with your energy bills.

'We can learn quite well but without making those relationships stronger in some really crucal circumstances. When your children don't like you, or their partners hate what their seeing them turning a child abject.\nKaren Gledwyn - Principal Teacher Edu... (142.75 seconds). (Ireland / BAFTA / BANFF - IBC Media Teac...: Learning Through Part. Principal,... |) See it (IAC Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest superhero is not, in the conventional sense, either "super" or a "hero," but he does have an unorthodox ailment and a weird skill-set to separate him from mere mortals. His name is Morbius, and while watching his origin story, you may get the feeling that somewhere in the cinematic multiverse, wires got crossed.
The film begins with a helicopter, transporting a cage to the sort of mist-shrouded isle you half expect King Kong to be inhabiting. But Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is looking to capture smaller game as he approaches the mouth of a cave, hobbling with difficulty on two crutch-like canes.
Positioning himself behind the wires of the cage, he slices open the palm of his hand and, as a roar of batwings echoes from inside the cave, murmurs to the copter pilot "if you're gonna run, do it now."
A rare blood disease treated with a bit o' bat
It's tempting to say "consider yourself warned," but the film's first hour or so, while unremarkable, is decently crafted.
Born with a rare blood disease, Michael Morbius has spent his entire life working on two things — a cure, and origami paper-folding. Natch, it occurs to him to fold together bat and human DNA.
Because the FDA would be unlikely to approve human trials, he and his beautiful co-researcher Martine (Adria Arjona) head in a cargo ship for international waters off the coast of Long Island in the company of eight thuggish mercenaries — think bloodbags — and once Morbius has been injected with bat DNA, it's just a matter of time before things go vampiric.
Let it be said that some side-effects from dabbling in "chiropter-y" are less ghastly than others. Bat DNA evidently gives you great cheekbones and abs to go with increased strength and speed.
Less salutary effects include new fangs that sprout from his gums with decades of decay baked in, and claws that erupt from his fingers pre-filthed. I mean, sure...why not? Except this is a man whose hair has the kind of sheen that comes from brushing it three times a day.
One other thing: he now needs to drink human blood every six hours. Happily, on his way to declining a Nobel Prize, Dr. Morbius invented "artificial blood," though that only fools his system for a while.
Color coded smoke effects for a Jekyll and his Hyde
If you're expecting a conventional Marvel movie, you should be aware going in that what Director Daniel Espinoza and his writers have come up with is more a horror flick with Marvel bells and whistles.
That means Leto's Morbius gets purplish smoke effects to go with those fang-baring snarls as he's riding air currents in subway tunnels, while the similarly afflicted Hyde to his Jekyll – a schoolboy chum played as an adult by an amusingly hopped-up Matt Smith, gets blue-ish vapor trails and snappier lines.
But there isn't much tension to their story. Or logic. At one point, Morbius overhears some counterfeiters passing fake $100s, and commandeers their printing press to make what appears to be an artificial-blood machine — because the technologies for fake-bills and fake-blood match up? Maybe that works better in a comic book.
Bat guys everywhere you look
Speaking of which, when the DC Extended Universe first announced that Twilight star Robert Pattinson would play the lead in The Batman in their corner of the superhero multiverse, it seemed like a nice inside joke — from Vampire-teen to Bat-man. But now that the Marvelverse has Leto going full Dracula, it seems as if the casting maybe could've gone the other way 'round.
Leto is as persuasively haunted by the dark side of vigilantism as Pattinson was, and as a result of corporate positioning, is maybe more determined to avoid being a villain. Not unlike Venom, Morbius was a bad guy when he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man comics, back in the 1970's. He needs to be at least an anti-hero now, if a franchise is to be built around him.
But bad guy/bat guy...who's to say? As the trailers reveal, another DC bat-guy, Michael Keaton, shows up in his non-batty baddie Marvel persona Adrian Toomes, just to mess with the heads of anyone trying to keep cinematic universes straight.
But bloodlines will have to be clarified in more robust "Morbius" episodes to come, this origin story being merely adequate, and by Marvel standards, slightly anemic.

TORONTO, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GCM Mining Corp. (TSX: GCM; OTCQX: TPRFF) announced today the release of its audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the year ended December 31, 2021. All financial figures contained herein are expressed in U.S. dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise noted. Non-GAAP financial performance measures in this press release are identified with “NG”. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and a detailed reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure under IFRS, please refer to the Company’s MD&A.
Lombardo Paredes, Chief Executive Officer of GCM Mining, commenting on the 2021 results, said, “In 2021, we accomplished what we set out to achieve last year. We met our production guidance for the sixth consecutive year. Our exploration program at Segovia not only replaced what we mined last year, it contributed to significant increases in our mineral reserves and resources and yielded solid results in our brownfield drilling campaign. We advanced the expansion of our Maria Dama processing plant and we commenced operations at the new polymetallic plant at Segovia. We continued to demonstrate our commitment to ESG in our operations and in the communities in which we work. We strengthened our balance sheet, and through the acquisition of the Toroparu Project in Guyana and the successful Senior Notes issuance, charted a course to grow the Company through diversification. We also returned about $17 million to shareholders through our monthly dividends and NCIB purchases. In the year ahead, we will continue to focus on the execution of our growth plans at both of our cornerstone assets while returning value to our shareholders through our monthly dividends. On behalf of the Board and management, I would like to thank all of our people for making 2021 another successful year for GCM Mining.”
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Highlights
- The Company changed its name to GCM Mining Corp. on November 29, 2021 to reflect its strategy to grow through diversification, expanding its operations and investments to other countries and broadening its products to include other metals beyond just gold and silver while returning value to its shareholders through its monthly dividend program.
- GCM remains committed to the health and safety of its employees, and through COMFAMA Colombia, was the first mining company in Antioquia to secure COVID-19 vaccines to immunize its employees and their families in 2021. The Company published its inaugural sustainability report in June 2021 which reflects a focused effort on measuring and disclosing its Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) priorities and performance moving forward. The next sustainability report is expected to be issued in June 2022.
- In December 2021, the Company completed an updated Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”) and preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) for its 100%-owned Toroparu Project in Guyana. In June 2021, the Company acquired all of the shares of Gold X Mining Corp (“Gold X”) it did not already own and then closed a $300 million offering in August 2021 of 6.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”) to fund the development of the Toroparu Project, to prepay the remaining $18.0 million balance of its Gold Notes in September and for general corporate purposes. The updated MRE for Toroparu includes 8.4 million ounces (“Mozs”) of Measured & Indicated gold resource at 1.42 g/t and 396 million pounds (“Mlbs”) of Measured & Indicated copper resource at 0.1% in 185 million tonnes of rock. The Toroparu PEA affirms the economic viability of the open pit and underground mining operations with total life-of-mine (“LOM”) gold production of 5.4 Mozs representing 88.4% of the 6.2 Mozs of gold fed to the milling circuit at an average gold grade of 1.78 g/t over the projected 24-year mine life. The Toroparu PEA also estimates a $794 million after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate, a 46% after-tax Internal Rate of Return and a two-year after-tax payback of the initial $355 million capital cost of the Toroparu Project at a $1,500 per ounce long-term gold price.
- The Company met its annual production guidance for the sixth consecutive year in 2021. GCM’s gold production from its Segovia Operations totaled 55,285 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2021, up 10% over the fourth quarter of 2020. This brought Segovia’s total gold production in 2021 to 206,389 ounces, up 5% over 2020, and within the Company’s guidance range for 2021 of between 200,0000 and 220,000 ounces. Expansion of the Company’s processing plant at Segovia to 2,000 tpd is expected to be fully completed by the end of the first half of 2022, lifting the Company’s annual production guidance for 2022 to between 210,000 and 225,000 ounces of gold.
- GCM has added revenue diversification at its Segovia Operations through a new polymetallic recovery plant that is recovering commercial quantities of zinc and lead as well as gold and silver into concentrate from its tailings. The Company completed construction of the plant in 2021 and the concentrate production is currently being stockpiled as the Company finalizes offtake contracts for sales to commence in 2022.
- Consolidated revenue amounted to $93.6 million and $382.6 million in the fourth quarter and full year in 2021, respectively, compared with $99.7 million and $390.9 million in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in 2020. Segovia’s revenue of $93.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 was up 7% from the fourth quarter of 2020 reflecting a 13% increase in the volume of gold sold that was partially offset by a 5% reduction in realized gold prices. For the year, Segovia’s revenue totaled $377.5 million, up 8% compared with last year, reflecting a 5% increase in the volume of gold sold, an approximately 3% increase in realized gold prices and a $1.7 million increase in silver revenues. Revenue in the fourth quarter and full year in 2020 also included $12.6 million and $42.8 million, respectively, from the Marmato Mining Assets owned by Aris Gold Corporation (“Aris”). The Company’s equity position in Aris fell below 50% in February 2021 and the Company ceased consolidating the financial results of Aris.
- At the Segovia Operations, total cash costs NG averaged $821 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with $830 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2020, bringing the average for 2021 to $814 per ounce compared with $699 per ounce in 2020. The year-over-year increase in Segovia’s annual total cash costs per ounce reflects an increase implemented by the Company in the third quarter of 2020 in the payment rates for material sourced from its contract miner and the small-scale miners in its Segovia title which had not changed since 2017. Including the Marmato mining operations, consolidated total cash costs were $824 per ounce in 2021 compared with $768 per ounce in 2020.
- All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) NG per ounce sold for the Segovia Operations were $1,349 and $1,196 in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in 2021 compared with $1,266 and $1,015 in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in 2020. The year-over-year increase in Segovia’s annual AISC in 2021 reflects (i) the increased total cash costs as described above, (ii) an increase in exploration and mine geology, mine development and other sustaining capital expenditures NG to a total of $45.0 million in 2021, up from $35.7 million in last year, (iii) an activity-driven increase in G&A and social programs expenses in 2021 compared with last year, and (iv) a $2.3 million provision for estimated fees related to ongoing investigations of environmental incidents that occurred between 2016 and 2018 at Segovia. Including Marmato, consolidated AISC in 2021 was $1,207 per ounce compared with $1,101 per ounce last year.
- GCM’s exploration and mine geology drill campaigns completed a total of approximately 97,000 meters in 444 diamond drill holes at our producing mines and our high-priority brownfield targets in 2021. This led to an increase in the Company’s Measured & Indicated Resources at the end of 2021 to 4.6 million tonnes (“Mt”) at a grade of 11.0 g/t totalling 1.62 Mozs of gold, up 14% from last year, and its Inferred Resources to 5.3 Mt at a grade of 9.9 g/t totalling 1.70 Mozs of gold, up 41% compared to last year. The Company more than replaced the Mineral Resources it mined in 2021 representing the sixth consecutive year that it has, at a minimum, replaced the Mineral Resources mined at its Segovia Operations. El Silencio and Sandra K were the primary areas of growth within the 2021 Segovia MRE. Similarly, the Company’s Mineral Reserve increased by 18% from last year to approximately 745,000 proven and probable ounces of gold based on 2.3 Mt of material at an average head grade of 10.1 g/t.
- Adjusted EBITDA NG amounted to $37.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with $43.1 million in the fourth quarter last year. This brings the total adjusted EBITDA for 2021 to $171.6 million compared with $187.8 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter and full year in 2020 included $0.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, from the Marmato Mining Assets.
- Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $27.4 million compared with $29.5 million in the fourth quarter last year. For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $80.6 million compared with $136.4 million last year reflecting the increase in income tax payments in 2021, changes in non-cash working capital items, including the impact from the delay in receiving 2021’s VAT refund claims, and the reduction in adjusted EBITDA from the Segovia Operations in the current year resulting from the increase in production costs, G&A and social programs expenses.
- Free Cash Flow NG in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $12.2 million compared with $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 bringing the total Free Cash Flow for the full year to $26.2 million compared with $73.6 million last year, largely reflecting the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 2021.
- The Company’s balance sheet benefitted from the Senior Notes financing, raising its cash position to $323.6 million and working capital to $317.7 million at the end of December 2021. S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings have each issued B+ ratings for the Company’s Senior Notes.
- The Company returned a total of $17.0 million to shareholders in 2021 with payment of its monthly dividends totaling $11.5 million and the repurchase of approximately 1.3 million shares for cancellation at a cost of $5.5 million. The Company renewed its NCIB in October 2021 for another year and in the first quarter of 2022, the Company purchased an additional 0.3 million shares for cancellation.
- The Company reported net income of $6.6 million ($0.07 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with a loss of $51.3 million ($0.59 per share) in the fourth quarter last year, reflecting an improvement in the loss on financial instruments and lower income tax expense which more than offset the impact of lower income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the full year, net income in 2021 amounted to $180.0 million ($2.25 per share) compared with a net loss of $27.6 million ($0.08 per share) in in 2020. Net income in 2021 reflected the decrease in income from operations this year and benefitted from the $56.9 million gain on loss of control of Aris, the $49.6 million gain on financial instruments (compared with the $72.9 million loss on financial instruments last year) and the $8.9 million gain on sale of the Zancudo Project. Net income in 2021 included Aris Transaction costs of $9.8 million while net income in 2020 included Bluenose RTO Transaction costs of $16.7 million.
- Adjusted net income NG for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $11.7 million ($0.12 per share), up from $7.7 million ($0.15 per share) in the fourth quarter last year as a reduction in income tax expense more than offset the decrease in income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the full year, adjusted net income in 2021 was $71.6 million ($0.87 per share) compared with $75.9 million ($1.28 per share) in 2020. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted net income in 2021 largely reflects the decrease in 2021’s income from operations, partially offset by a reduction in income tax expense compared with last year.
- The Company added a 27% equity interest in Denarius Metals Corp. (“Denarius”) to its portfolio in early 2021, giving it exposure to the Lomero-Poyatos polymetallic deposit located in Spain in the Iberian Pyrite Belt and to the Guia Antigua and Zancudo Projects in Colombia. Denarius commenced drilling at its Guia Antigua and Lomero Projects in 2021. At the Lomero Project, early drill results have confirmed that the massive and semi-massive sulfide zones are enriched in copper and significantly in zinc and gold and largely validate the thickness and grades of selected drill holes from previous drilling campaigns incorporated in the historic mineral resource. On March 29, 2022, GCM acquired 3.4 million shares of Denarius in a block trade on the open market at a cost of approximately $1.3 million, increasing its equity interest to 28.6%.

Outlook
After pivoting its focus in 2021 to implement a strategy for growth through diversification, GCM’s outlook for 2022 is centered around its two cornerstone assets, the Segovia Operations in Colombia and the Toroparu Project in Guyana.
At Segovia, the Company has produced a total of 33,658 ounces in the first two months of 2022, up from 30,415 ounces in the first two months of 2021, and its trailing 12-months’ total gold production at the end of February 2022 stood at 209,632 ounces, up about 1.6% over 2021. The expansion of the Maria Dama plant from 1,500 to 2,000 tpd is essentially complete, except for the expansion of the crushing facility that is expected to be completed in the second quarter this year. GCM expects that it will operate the expanded plant at about 85% to 95% of capacity in the second half of 2022, increasing its expected annual production for 2022 to between 210,000 and 225,000 ounces of gold.
GCM spent a total of $45.0 million for sustaining capital expenditures NG, including mine exploration and development, and another $10.9 million on non-sustaining capital expenditures NG, including brownfield exploration, Maria Dama plant expansion and completion of the new polymetallic plant. For 2022, GCM has committed to undertake another robust diamond drilling campaign that will comprise approximately 91,000 meters with up to 52,000 meters of in-mine and near-mine drilling and 15,000 meters of underground in-fill drilling at its four producing mines together with 24,000 meters of brownfield drilling at its high-priority targets within the other 24 known veins it is not currently mining in its Segovia mining title. The Company expects that its sustaining capital expenditures NG in 2022 may range between $50 million to $55 million, including the planned drilling at its four producing mines. Non-sustaining capital expenditures NG in 2022 are expected to total up to $10 million, including the brownfield drilling campaign and expenditures to complete the Maria Dama plant expansion, to upgrade and automate certain components in the polymetallic plant and construct additional warehouse space, to commence construction of its new solar generation project and to implement a new ERP system in the Segovia Operations.
In 2021, GCM completed the updated MRE and a PEA for the development of the Toroparu Project. The Company also commenced various pre-construction activities in 2021, including hiring of the project team and key contractors, preparation of the camp facilities, revamping of the local airstrip to enhance logistics and access to the site, design and civil works related to the camp, road and water management, electrical network design, permitting, design of its initial ESG initiatives and various studies associated with environmental matters at the project site. Following completion of the PEA, the Company immediately commenced activities, including additional infill drilling, to advance the studies for the project to prepare a preliminary feasibility study (“PFS”). The Company is in the midst of a competitive bid process and plans to incorporate a change to contract mining in the PFS that is now expected to be finalized early in the third quarter of 2022, at which point formal construction of the project is expected to commence. The final mining license is also expected to be received in mid-2022. In light of the various pre-construction activities underway, the Company continues to anticipate that production will commence from the Toroparu Project in early 2024.
The Company remains committed to its dividend program at the current monthly rate of CA$0.015 per share and expects to continue to repurchase common shares, within certain price ranges, for cancellation under its NCIB to support continued value creation for its shareholders.
On March 21, 2022, the Company announced it has subscribed to a $35 million 7.5% convertible senior unsecured debenture (the “Aris Debenture”) to be issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aris to pay a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition, through a joint venture company, of a 20% ownership interest (the “Acquisition”) in the Soto Norte gold project in Colombia. The issuance of the Aris Debenture is conditional upon closing of the Acquisition by Aris, expected to occur in April 2022, and is subject to the approval of the TSX. The ability of the Company to fully execute its conversion rights under the Aris Debenture is subject to disinterested Aris shareholder approval at its next annual meeting of shareholders.

MLB The Show 22 Diamond Dynasty livestream showcases new featured Programs, collection rewards
The countdown is coming to an end.
Just hours before the launch of early access for MLB The Show 22, San Diego Studios (SDS) dropped news regarding Diamond Dynasty. Diamond Dynasty, the fantasy-themed mode in MLB The Show 22, will see some returning features, but also some new additions and quality of live changes. Here’s a recap of what was announced by SDS on March 31.
Among some of the new Diamond Dynasty additions includes Mini-Seasons, and a big tweak to the timed Featured Programs. For Mini-Seasons, users will be able to play CPU teams in a condensed, 28-game season with two playoff rounds. Team will be comprised of user-created Diamond Dynasty rosters, and rewards will include player items, as well as packs.
Featured Programs are also getting a makeover. Instead of Inning Programs, San Diego Studios has now changed up the formula, and will instead feature different rewards during every one. For the first Featured Program, users will be able to earn up to 12 different Faces of the Franchise cards via the Featured Program. Six of those can be sold, while the other six are random and untradeable.

Future Featured Program will showcase different kinds of rewards.
There, will, however, be a lot of returning features in Diamond Dynasty. Inside Edge boosts will once again be given to Live Series items in The Show 22. Conquests will return, as will Ranked Seasons and Battle Royale. Battle Royale will once again feature time-limited rewards, as will Ranked Seasons. Users will be able to earn Ranked Seasons rewards via winning games and moving up the ranks, or by completing innings in Ranked Seasons. The latter is a new addition, and was implemented in response to players quitting in MLB The Show 21.
San Diego Studios also unveiled the collection rewards for MLB The Show 22. Users who collect all Live Series National League cards will receive a 99 OVR Roberto Clemente. For the American League, a 99 OVR Frank Thomas is the prize. Get both of those cards, and users will get a 99 OVR Randy Johnson.
Early access for MLB The Show 22 opens up at 12 AM EDT on April 1. MLB The Show 22 goes live worldwide on April 5.

SEOUL, April 1 (Yonhap) -- The government has decided to raise the private gathering size limit to 10 people and relax the business hour curfew on restaurants and cafes to midnight, Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum said Friday.
The new social distancing rules will go into effect Monday for two weeks.

Los Angeles-based shoe company hosts virtual auction of limited edition and one-of-a-kind ballet flats to raise awareness with 100% of proceeds supporting Ukrainian people
LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Los Angeles-based shoemaker Tieks announced the launch of #TieksForUkraine, a virtual auction and raffle featuring their famed ballet flats, running from March 31 to April 3. In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, 100% of the auction and raffle proceeds will be donated to World Central Kitchen's #ChefsforUkraine initiative, an on the ground organization providing millions of meals 24/7 to families across all eight border crossings including Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Hungary.
For the first time ever, prized past limited editions, beloved bygone styles, and exclusive pairs that have never been sold publicly, including a brand-new, one-of-a-kind style, will be available for bid and raffle throughout the four-day auction. The auction is open to all U.S. residents and available through the Tieks.com website.
Within the first two hours of the auction, thousands of bids have been placed, with styles fetching bids as high as $4,500 (Toscani) and $3,500 (Arabian Night).
Historically, limited-edition Tieks are released on rare occasions like Black Friday and routinely sell out in 24-72 hours, making these releases some of the most coveted designs by the brand. These limited-edition styles have become among the most highly anticipated shoe releases year-round, with fans preparing to do almost anything to get their hands on a pair. Limited release pairs usually retail for significantly more in the secondary markets after they are no longer available from Tieks. However, from March 31-April 3, fans will have a chance to get their hands on a pair while also supporting an incredible cause.
#TieksForUkraine will feature eight total pairs, with seven up for auction and a one-of-a-kind pair for raffle including one limited edition style each of Red Diamond (2017 release), True Love Red (2021 release), Giraffe (2012 release), Toscani, Arabian Night, and Brown and Black Ostrich—two styles that have never been available for sale publicly. All auction styles will start at $100 and be awarded to the highest bidder. Additionally, Mirage, a one-of-a-kind pair in a sparkly sand hue will be available to win via a raffle. Raffle tickets for this style are $1 each with an unlimited purchase amount. As an added bonus, Tieks will also give away $100 Tieks Gift Cards to 10 additional raffle winners.
"I'm humbled that my company and our community are able to support the people of Ukraine through the #TieksForUkraine initiative," Gavrieli said. "In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, who have lost so much and shown immense courage and strength, our community wants to be involved in contributing to the Ukrainian people in a meaningful way." Gavrieli added, "My hope is that through the auction proceeds, World Central Kitchen will be able to provide tens of thousands of meals for Ukrainians braving this unimaginable war."

When is the Sephora Sales Event?
The Sephora Spring Savings Event kicks off April 1 at 11:59 p.m. PST and runs through April 11.

Retired Indiana teacher charged with battery for allegedly striking student
A recently retired teacher in Indiana was arrested and charged with battery this week after he was caught on video allegedly striking a student.
A judge found probable cause to charge Mike Hosinski, a veteran teacher at Jimtown High School in Elkhart County, with battery causing moderate injury, a level six felony, the South Bend Tribune reported. Elkhart County is about three hours outside of Indianapolis.
If convicted, the teacher faces up to 2.5 years in prison.
Hosinski was approved for early retirement earlier this week after the video surfaced of him allegedly hitting a student on Feb. 25 for wearing a hoodie.
In the video, Hosinski can be seen chasing a student down the hallway before pushing him against the wall. He points a finger at the student during an exchange and then appears to slap him across the face.
Hosinski then attempts to drag the student with him down the hall but the student collapses on the ground. Another school official in the video can be seen directing Hosinski away from the student.
After the incident, Hosinski announced to school officials he would retire early, a move that was approved by the school board on Monday.
The Indiana Department of Child Services and the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department are both investigating the incident.
According to court documents reviewed by the South Bend Tribune, investigators spoke to the boy involved in the incident. He said after he was hit, suffered a throbbing headache, as well as a bloody nose and lip.
An initial hearing is scheduled on the case for March 10, according to the outlet.
Hosinski was released after his arrest on Thursday on a $1,500 bond.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Gains As Market Dips: What You Should Know
Palo Alto Networks (PANW) closed the most recent trading day at $622.51, moving +1.1% from the previous trading session. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.57%. Meanwhile, the Dow lost 1.56%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, lost 0.09%.
Coming into today, shares of the security software maker had gained 5.79% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 4.23%, while the S&P 500 gained 5.37%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from Palo Alto Networks as it approaches its next earnings report date. On that day, Palo Alto Networks is projected to report earnings of $1.66 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 20.29%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $1.36 billion, up 26.51% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $7.27 per share and revenue of $5.46 billion. These totals would mark changes of +18.4% and +28.21%, respectively, from last year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for Palo Alto Networks. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.

Looking at its valuation, Palo Alto Networks is holding a Forward P/E ratio of 84.69. This valuation marks a premium compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 59.23.
It is also worth noting that PANW currently has a PEG ratio of 2.89. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. Security stocks are, on average, holding a PEG ratio of 3.31 based on yesterday's closing prices.
The Security industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 199, which puts it in the bottom 22% of all 250+ industries.

Be sure to follow all of these stock-moving metrics, and many more, on Zacks.com.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

State of Unreal livestream announced for April 5, will go over “special” Unreal Engine news and how The Matrix Awakens was made
The livestream will have multiple speakers and will last for hours.
Epic Games will be holding a live stream that will center on the Unreal Engine. The live stream will be called the State of Unreal and will start on April 5 at 11 am ET. The stream will be available to watch on both YouTube and Twitch. There will be multiple speakers during the stream, including Epic Games’ CEO Tim Sweeney and Epic Games’ CTO Kim Libreri.
The first hour-and-a-half will be the State of Unreal Keynote, and it will go over “special” Unreal Engine news. The following two hours will be about The Matrix Awakens tech demo. The Matrix Awakens was released on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S to promote The Matrix Resurrection movie. The Matrix Awakens is meant to highlight Unreal Engine 5, the latest iteration of the engine.
The first hour covering The Matrix Awakens will go over how the developers created the world and environment. The second hour will cover how the developers generated the world of The Matrix Awakens, including how the city was created. The last hour of the live stream will be a “fast-paced” and “inspirational” tech talk on how someone can create their own game with the unreal engine.
The Unreal Engine is a software framework that game developers use to design and developed video games. Game engines like Unreal come with relevant assets and support programs that make game development easier. Epic Games developed the original Unreal Engine, and it is one of the most popular game engines to use. Recently CD Projekt Red announced that their new The Witcher game will use Unreal Engine 5.

Evolution takes place constantly, everywhere in nature. Nevertheless, it is always exciting for biologists to observe evolution "in real time." One such opportunity for observation is currently being presented by the internal clock—the innate sleep-wake rhythm—of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. In fruit flies, a certain variant of a "clock gene," which presumably first appeared in southern Europe 300 to 3000 years ago, is spreading northwards, for example, to and within Scandinavia. Researchers have observed this phenomenon but have not yet been able to fully explain it. Based on laboratory studies, a team led by the neurobiologist Prof. Ralf Stanewsky from the University of Münster (Germany) is the first to offer an explanation for this phenomenon.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Chin-ups, lunges, blaring music and some good-natured banter at 10 p.m.
The Phoenix Suns held off the Golden State Warriors in a hard-fought, playoff-type furious finish, then went right back to work after the final buzzer like they do every game — home and away.
“That’s who we are. We are a work team. Even though the studies show that lifting after a game helps with recovery, I think they really enjoy being around each other and they enjoy the work,” coach Monty Williams said. “… As I’ve said before, our guys are chasing something. When you’re chasing something, you don’t want to get to whatever you’re chasing and not be ready.”
Devin Booker’s two free throws with 34.2 seconds left put Phoenix ahead, Draymond Green traveled to turn it over before Chris Paul made a short jumper, and the NBA-best Suns beat the Warriors 107-103 on Wednesday night in a back-and-forth battle between Western Conference rivals.
Jordan Poole scored a season-best 38 points to match his career high and also contributed nine rebounds and seven assists. He had five free throws over the final 1:20.
Poole drew a loose ball foul on Booker with 39.8 seconds to go and converted two free throws before Booker came through for the Suns (62-14) in their ninth straight victory.
The Suns matched the franchise record with 62 wins, of which Booker said, “it means a lot.”
“We know what we’re working for, strength and conditioning is a big part of the game,” he said.
Paul hit a key jumper with 1:37 to play and finished with 15 points and eight assists, Mikal Bridges scored 22 points and Deandre Ayton added 16 points and 16 rebounds for Phoenix.
“We felt like we’ve been there before,” Paul said of the atmosphere. “Obviously this is an exciting environment playing in here, the crowd going crazy and all that but we’ve been playing a ton of games like that.”
Green had a three-point play to tie it with 2:25 left, the Suns committed a three-second violation on the other end but Golden State didn’t capitalize that sequence and Paul scored. Green and Jae Crowder had some words near mid-court after the final buzzer.
Booker scored 22 points but shot 5 for 21 — 2 of 8 from long range — while Torrey Craig missed all four of his 3-point tries.
The Warriors played better defensively while again without reigning scoring champion Stephen Curry, who is nursing a foot injury that has cost him seven games.
Poole shot 11 for 22 with seven 3s as Golden State returned home from a 123-95 loss at Memphis on Monday night.
“The tough part about Jordan is he’s learning how to play like Steph,” Williams said before the game.
Klay Thompson shot just 5 for 21 and missed nine of his 10 3-point attempts in Golden State’s fourth straight loss, seventh in eight and third in a row at Chase Center.
The Warriors had won the previous two matchups with the Suns, who have an eight-game road winning streak. Phoenix overcame shooting 7 for 28 on 3-pointers.
The teams split the season series at two games apiece.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr told his team during a morning meeting how well the Warriors played defense in previous meetings with Phoenix and that they were capable of doing so again despite the recent struggles.
“Draymond took a step tonight,” Kerr said of the improvements on both ends.
CURRY UPDATE
Curry is yet to resume on-court basketball activities while working back from a sprained left foot, but has been working on a treadmill in the water and in the weight room. He could be back to shooting soon.
“Trending in a good direction,” Kerr said.
Golden State dropped to 1-6 without him during this stretch.
TIP-INS
Suns: Phoenix won on the Warriors’ home floor for the first time in four tries since a 121-110 victory on Oct. 30, 2019. … The Suns won last season’s matchups 2-1 for their first victorious season series since taking all four meetings in 2010-11. Phoenix is 19-3 on the road vs. the Western Conference. … Cam Johnson missed his 13th game straight game with a right quad contusion. … JaVale McGee remained out because of a non-COVID illness, missing his second in a row and this one against his former team.
Warriors: Gary Payton II left for the locker room with 8:43 remaining but returned at the 4:54 mark to provide a key defensive presence down the stretch. … The Warriors came off a stretch with five games over eight days to now having three games in an eight-day stretch during which they won’t have to leave the state.
UP NEXT
Suns: At Grizzlies on Friday night having won two straight in Memphis.
Warriors: Host Jazz on Saturday night having won the last three meetings with Utah at home before finishing a home-road back-to-back at Sacramento on Sunday.

Utah’s Republican governor pledges to veto transgender sports ban
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) vowed to veto an amended proposal that passed the state legislature on Friday prohibiting transgender girls from playing on sports teams that correspond with their gender identity, The Associated Press reported.
“We care deeply about Utah’s female athletes and our LGBTQ+ community,” Cox said in a post on Facebook. “To those hurting tonight: It’s going to be OK. We’re going to help you get through this. Please reach out if you need help.”
The legislation prohibits “a student of the male sex from competing against another school on a team designated for female students” and defines “sex” as “biological, physical condition of being male or female, determined by an individual’s genetics and anatomy at birth.”
Similar pieces of legislation have been signed by Republican Govs. Kristi Noem of South Dakota and and Kim Reynolds of Iowa.
“This bill has been an important priority for a lot of the people behind me,” Noem said at a press conference last month, “and I appreciate all of their hard work in making sure that girls will always have the opportunity to play in girls sports in South Dakota and have an opportunity for a level playing field, for fairness, that gives them the chance to experience success.”
Critics of the legislation argue it unfairly targets transgender students.
Cathryn Oakley, Human Rights Campaign state legislative director and senior counsel, lauded Cox’s move to veto it.
“As the first governor this year pledging to veto anti-trans legislation sent to his desk for signature, Gov. Cox deserves praise for standing up to those who continue to target and attack transgender youth. Transgender kids are kids, and they do not deserve to be the targets of dehumanizing attacks that invalidate their identity,” Oakley said.

UK economy grew more quickly than thought in late 2021
Britain’s economy grew more quickly than previously thought in the last three months of 2021 when the country was hit by the Omicron wave of COVID-19 cases, driven by higher health spending, official data showed on Thursday.
Gross domestic product in the world’s fifth-biggest economy increased by 1.3% in the fourth quarter from the previous three-month period, the Office for National Statistics said, stronger than a preliminary estimate of growth of 1.0%.
The ONS said the largest contributors to the increase came from human health and social work activities, driven by increased visits to doctors at the start of the quarter, as well as a large increase in coronavirus testing and tracing and the extension of the vaccination programme
That represented an acceleration from the economy’s 0.9% growth in the third quarter but was well below its 5.6% expansion in the April-June period of last year when it was rebounding from COVID-19 lockdowns.
Investors expect the recovery to slow in 2022 as inflation heads for almost 9% and households face the biggest fall in living standards since at least the 1950s, according to forecasts by the government’s fiscal watchdog.
Households dipped into their lockdown savings to finance their spending. The saving ratio fell to 6.8% of disposable income from 7.5% in third second quarter, approaching its level of 6.0% immediately before the pandemic, the ONS said.
The level of GDP at the end of 2021 was 0.1% below where it was at the end of 2019, revised from a previous estimate of 0.4% below its pre-pandemic level.

Toffees eye Vestergaard
Everton are eyeing a summer move for Leicester defender Jannick Vestergaard, according to Football Insider.
The Toffees are keen to recruit a dominant centre-back this summer and have turned their attentions to the 29-year-old for Southampton player.
New Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell went to watch Vestergaard in action for Denmark against Serbia in midweek.
Cavani closing in on Boca move
Edinson Cavani is closing in on a move to Boca Juniors when his Manchester United contract expires at the end of the season, reports Todofichajes.
The Uruguyan is keen to move closer to his family in South America after spending more than a decade in Europe.
Cavani has been close to leaving United on several occasions over the last year but decided to see out his Red Devils contract instead.
Fernandes signs new Man Utd deal
Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract at Manchester United until the summer of 2027 that will make him one of the club's highest-paid players, reports the Guardian.
Talks between the Portugal midfielder and the club have been going on since July and a breakthrough was made two weeks ago with an official announcement due imminently.
The new deal only adds one year onto his existing deal but includes an substantial pay rise.
Newcastle eye Coutinho (Sport)
The Magpies are ready to take the Brazilian to the north east
Newcastle are ready to hijack Aston Villa's bid to sign Philippe Coutinho permanently this summer, reports Sport.
Villa signed Coutinho on loan from Barcelona in January and have an agreement in place to sign him permanently for around €40 million (£33m/$44m).
However, that deal would also be dependant on the club taking on his full wages - currently subsidised by Barcelona - something Newcastle, with their new wealthy owners, would have no problem covering.
Leicester eye three signings
Leicester are eyeing three key signings this summer as Brendan Rodgers plans a mini rebuild of his squad, reports the Telegraph.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to recuit a winger, a No.8 and centre-back during the close season.
PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke and Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson are two players who have been scouted reguarly this campaign.

Acworth, GA, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There are lots of subcontractors in the construction industry, at all price points and levels of expertise. The bidding process is a good example of this; the wide variety of bids for any given project probably span a pretty wide range.
It might be tempting to always seek out the lowest bid; after all, the bottom line is important, and you want to get the project done as cheaply as possible so everyone can turn a profit.
Those in the construction industry for a long time know that cheaper isn’t always better, and cheap work is often not efficient work. That’s not to say that projects should always go to contractors charging an exorbitant fee, but there’s a process of checks and balances that should be considered during the bidding process.
The fact is that the longer a subcontractor has been in the business, the more experience they’ve gained that goes toward their ability to complete projects efficiently– and most importantly, safely.
Acworth, GA-based subcontractors Adam’s Maintenance Services, Inc. is a company that serves as a great example of the power of a quality subcontractor. With 30 years of experience in the construction industry, the team at Adam’s Maintenance have been around the block (literally; they offer subcontracting services in 12 states).
A subcontracting company with decades of experience in the industry has personally witnessed and dealt with just about every type of construction project, and their inevitable issues and delays, and has had the chance to learn from each one of these experiences to provide better service to customers in the future.
But for subcontractors just starting out in the industry, all hope is not lost. Jason Poore, president of Adam’s Maintenance, recommends getting started in an industry you’re truly interested in. He advises, “Don’t go into it blindly; books are a great way to learn the general steps and information you’ll need for success. Without real-life experience in the industry, it will be harder to find success with your own business, but not impossible.”
Jason Poore is no stranger to the false starts that every entrepreneur experiences. Poore recounts, “After a business internship, I started a few businesses that ultimately failed. But like many entrepreneurs, I didn’t give up my dream of owning a respectable subcontracting and maintenance company.”
Even Adam’s Maintenance didn’t hit the ground running; in their early days, they struggled with Net 30 payment terms and late payments, which led to initial cash flow problems. In Poore’s own words, “Any results that lead to failure are a form of progress to success.”
What does this mean for business owners and developers? Currently, the construction industry is in an interesting position. Nationwide labor shortages mean that many contractors, and in turn clients, are having a difficult time finding experienced workers to complete projects. This, coupled with the rising costs of construction in general, can make for some expensive project delays and reworking. Reworking alone can add a lot of time and expense onto a project due to supply chain issues and extending the amount of time and labor the client has to pay for.
Avoiding expensive reworks is sometimes impossible– there’s always a margin of miscommunication between engineers, architects, contractors, subcontractors and developers. The statistics don’t lie; according to the FMI 2021 Construction Data and Analytics Report, high-trust construction companies are twice as likely to meet project deadlines.
A subcontractor who’s experienced every aspect of the industry– from hanging drywall during home construction projects to federal subcontracting– will be able to generate trust both within the company and with the business owner and everyone involved in a building project.
Adam’s Maintenance has hired a trustworthy in-house crew who are able to tackle federal subcontracting projects because they can pass federal background checks and are OSHA 10-hour certified. Jason Poore emphasizes that “our main goal is safety”, and the OSHA certifications make an enormous difference in the efficiency and timeliness of product completion.
When examining bids for your next construction project, or considering which subcontractors to hire for a big project with a deadline that’s set in stone, go with a company who’s been around a long time and able to prove their workers’ OSHA certifications. Experience means safer building practices, better communication, and ultimately more efficient builds.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is coming to PlayStation 5 this year
A great announcement with sparse details.
After being originally released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita back in 2017, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is getting another release on the PlayStation 5.
The announcement was made during NIS America’s New Game Plus Expo Showcase earlier today showing off a trailer, however, it contributed absolutely nothing toward what upgrades fans can expect from the PS5 version. No mention of DualSense support, graphical differences, or faster load times. There was also no confirmation on whether or not PS4 owners of the game can upgrade to the PS5 version for free or at a discounted price. After going to the Ys VIII website, there was no additional information there either.
One very cool thing that NIS America is doing alongside releasing Ys VIII is that they are giving it a similar Limited Edition to what they did for the PlayStation 4 version. The Limited Edition includes the Deluxe Edition of the game, a hardcover journal, a sound selection, two acrylic bookends, a cloth poster, and a steelbook. The Limited Edition of Ys VIII is selling exclusively on the NIS America online store for $99.99.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is scheduled to release for the end of this year on the PlayStation 5, but is currently available on other platforms like PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and PC via Steam.

Online recruitment services revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 12.0% to RMB617.7 million (US$96.9 million) compared with RMB551.6 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to an improvement in hiring sentiment, demand and activity from employers in 2021.

Cost of services for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 29.1% to RMB535.2 million (US$84.0 million) from RMB414.5 million for the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses, headcount additions and greater direct costs, such as venue rental, media production and technology support, incurred in providing campus recruitment services to employers.

The Company recognized a loss from foreign currency translation of RMB10.9 million (US$1.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with RMB33.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to the impact of the change in exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar on the Company's U.S. dollar cash deposits.
The Company recognized a mark-to-market, non-cash loss of RMB10.7 million (US$1.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with RMB9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 associated with a change in fair value of listed equity securities investment in Huali University Group Limited, which is traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Online recruitment services revenues in 2021 increased 11.6% to RMB2,396.2 million (US$376.0 million) from RMB2,147.3 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the improvement in business activity and more recruitment needs of employers in China in 2021.
Other human resource related revenues in 2021 increased 31.3% to RMB2,024.2 million (US$317.6 million) from RMB1,541.6 million in 2020, primarily due to resilient customer demand and usage of the Company's training, campus recruitment, placement and business process outsourcing services.
Cost of services in 2021 increased 32.9% to RMB1,676.7 million (US$263.1 million) from RMB1,261.7 million in 2020, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses and headcount additions.

Income from operations in 2021 decreased 36.4% to RMB551.3 million (US$86.5 million) from RMB867.1 million in 2020, primarily due to the significant increase in sales and marketing expenses in 2021. Operating margin was 12.5% in 2021 compared with 23.5% in 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expense, operating margin would have been 15.9% in 2021 compared with 27.4% in 2020.

Excluding share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation, and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to 51job in 2021 was RMB894.4 million (US$140.4 million) compared with RMB1,243.9 million in 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was RMB13.12 (US$2.06) in 2021 compared with RMB18.28 in 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, cash and short-term investments totaled RMB10,587.0 million (US$1,661.3 million) compared with RMB10,761.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
Currency Convenience Translation
For the convenience of readers, certain Renminbi amounts have been translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the rate of RMB6.3726 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate on December 30, 2021 in New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), 51job uses non-GAAP financial measures of income before income tax expense, income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to 51job and adjusted earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. The Company believes excluding loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect, from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation, mark-to-market gain or loss is not indicative of the Company's core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company's cash earnings. 51job also believes these non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items, are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — In one of his tried-and-true motivational speeches, Mike Krzyzewski outlined his four pillars of team building: making everyone feel important, taking ownership in the team, adapting to setbacks and playing with feeling.
Duke perfected the first three to help Coach K reach his 13th and most amazing Final Four. Next comes the “feeling” part.
Now that the record-setting, 75-year-old coach is in New Orleans, he knows he must walk a fine line between enjoying the moment and letting it overwhelm both him and his team.
“I’ve always thought that shared emotion is the best,” Krzyzewski said Thursday, as his team settled in for its run at the coach’s sixth national title.
The Blue Devils (32-6) meet archrival North Carolina on Saturday in a national semifinal matchup plucked straight from a screenwriters’ script.
When Duke lost two games over the span of a week in early March, starting with the 94-81 setback to the Tar Heels in Krzyzewski’s final home game, the thought he might be coaching at the Final Four this weekend felt like a dream only a Blue Devils fan could believe.
But once the NCAA Tournament began, Duke started playing better. Wins over Cal-State Fullerton and Michigan State propelled the Blue Devils into the Sweet 16. There, they knocked off Texas Tech, then Arkansas. Krzyzewski passed John Wooden by qualifying for his record 13th Final Four. On Saturday he looks to improve on a record he already holds, by notching a 1,203rd career victory.
One of Krzyzewski’s keys to the turnaround was convincing his players that the rest of this season was about them, not him.
“This is our season, too,” Duke’s Wendell Moore Jr., said before the team’s win over Michigan State.
In many ways, Coach K’s final team is fulfilling the vision he shared back in 2015 when, fresh off a championship after his 12th run to the Final Four, he gave the keynote address to a gathering of U.S. Olympic athletes and administrators in Colorado Springs.
“You are not paying rent. You’re here, it’s yours,” Krzyzewski told the rapt audience as he moved through his four pillars of team building.
He talked about his first Olympic experience, back in 1992, when he was an assistant to Chuck Daly on the Dream Team. Krzyzewski was coming off back-to-back titles with Duke and thought he was a “hot ticket.”
His eyes were opened when none other than Michael Jordan approached him after a practice one day. Krzyzewski braced for the inevitable smack talk from the best player in the game, one who happened to have played at North Carolina. Instead, Jordan asked if the coach could work with him on some of his offensive moves.
In his speech, Krzyzewski said he realized something after that workout.
“It’s like a totem pole,” the coach said. “Michael Jordan was at the top of the totem pole. And I was near the bottom.”
But, Coach K said, ”Michael Jordan had a horizontal totem pole, where everybody was important.”
Though there certainly is a pecking order on this year’s version of the Blue Devils — freshmen Paolo Banchero and AJ Griffin look like NBA lottery picks — at least four players have scored double figures in each of Duke’s four NCAA victories. Five players average in double figures for the Blue Devils this season.
In his news conference Thursday, the coach spoke about the players taking ownership in their fate as the season wore on.
“When you go into competition, if you haven’t worked, you have a hard time trusting yourself,” he said. “But if you’ve worked, you can trust, but you also own it. You own it more.”
In his keynote address, Krzyzewski said his first two building blocks lead to the third, which is adaptability. In 2022, it played out after the losses to North Carolina, then one week later to Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, forced Krzyzewski to take a long look in the mirror.
“I just had a good meeting with myself. I said that I’ve got to do something. I’ve got to help in some way, and part of it was my approach with them,” Krzyzewski said before Duke’s win over Arkansas in the Elite Eight.
Coach K described using the first five minutes of halftime during the Michigan State game to do something different by “just pull(ing) out a chair, and I sit with them for about five minutes and just, ‘OK, here’s where we’re at, and just talk to them.’”
Duke overcame a late, five-point deficit in that one, and now, Krzyzewski has led his team across his proverbial bridge that only a few lucky teams cross. They made it to college basketball’s biggest stage.
In his motivational speech, Krzyzewski said one method of getting a room full of superstars to “feel” the mission they were on at the Barcelona Olympics each night was to play the soulful version of the national anthem sung by Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
The promise, the U.S. coaches told the Dream Team, was that they would hear that song twice on the day of the title game — once beforehand, then again while they were standing on the podium receiving their gold medals.
The song that closes out March Madness is “One Shining Moment.” Whether Duke will bask in confetti when that song plays at the end of the title game is a big part of the drama that will unfold between now and Monday night.
Whether or not it happens, everyone at Duke is feeling it at this point — even if the coach insists he’s been focusing on basketball.
“I didn’t do this season to have a storybook,” Krzyzewski said. “I did it because I wanted to coach one more year and I wanted to have a good succession plan for our program. And we’ve won 32 games, and my guys have been terrific.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Leaders in Kentucky’s logging and forestry industry are concerned about the rising threat wildfires pose in the state.
Bob Bauer, the executive director of the Kentucky Forest Industries Association, said he’s concerned about the lower staffing levels facing organizations that fight fires, specifically volunteer fire companies and the state’s division of forestry.
The division, he said, has seen its staffing levels cut in half over the past 15 years.
“The division of forestry has had a wide range of cutbacks... so there is concern if the fire season gets bad that you have enough there,” Bauer said.
Local volunteer fire departments, which are often critical in suppressing fires before they can grow into larger forest fires that require help from the state forest service to suppress, are facing a shortage of volunteers, Bauer said.
LEX18 has reached out to the Kentucky Division of Forestry and has not yet received a response.

People who suffered from even mild cases of COVID-19 face an increased risk of being diagnosed with diabetes within a year of recovering from the illness, a new study reports.
Researchers found that people who had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes within a year after recovering, compared to participants in a control group. The likelihood of developing diabetes grew if the patient suffered from a serious infection that led to hospitalization or a stay in intensive care.
"What's surprising is that it is happening in people with no prior risk factors for diabetes" before becoming infected with COVID-19, said Ziyad Al-Aly, the lead author of the study.
These latest findings add to a growing list of studies showing that people who suffered from COVID-19 are at risk of facing other long-term health problems. Those include heart and kidney ailments and chronic fatigue.
Al-Aly also helped lead the study that showed the prevalence of cardiac issues in people who survived COVID-19 infections.
This newest study, published Monday in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, analyzed data from more than 180,000 patients from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The study's authors compared patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and survived the illness for more than a month with more than 4 million other people who didn't contract COVID in the same period. This data was also compared with another 4.28 million patients who were treated at the VA in 2018 and 2019.
The paper states that around 1% to 2% of people who have been infected with COVID will develop diabetes as a result. That may seem like a small number, but nearly 80 million people in the U.S. have had COVID, Al-Aly told NPR — meaning 800,000 to 1.6 million people developing diabetes who might not have otherwise.
"That translates to a really significant number of people with new onset diabetes in the U.S. and many, many more around the world," Al-Aly said.
Nationwide, approximately 34 million people had diabetes pre-COVID, according to Jorge Moreno, an internal medicine physician at Yale University who didn't work on Al-Aly's study. Doctors expect roughly 1.5 million new people to be newly diagnosed with diabetes each year during normal times, he told NPR.
What to look out for
This study shows that as a nation, more attention needs to be paid to the long-term effects of COVID-19, Al-Aly said. More vigilance can start at the doctor's office.
"We need to start treating COVID as a risk factor for diabetes," Al-Aly said, adding that each person who has come down with the virus needs to be screened.
Moreno told NPR he believes this study will create more awareness among general practitioners and endocrinologists, like himself, to screen patients who have had COVID for diabetes and other complications.
Those who've had COVID should also be closely monitoring their health and changes in their body, Moreno said, and should seek help at the first sign of an issue. Major symptoms for diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination (which is not influenced by how much liquid consumed) and blurry vision. Major weight fluctuations are also a sign.

Toffees eye Vestergaard
Everton are eyeing a summer move for Leicester defender Jannick Vestergaard, according to Football Insider.
The Toffees are keen to recruit a dominant centre-back this summer and have turned their attentions to the 29-year-old for Southampton player.
New Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell went to watch Vestergaard in action for Denmark against Serbia in midweek.
Cavani closing in on Boca move
Edinson Cavani is closing in on a move to Boca Juniors when his Manchester United contract expires at the end of the season, reports Todofichajes.
The Uruguyan is keen to move closer to his family in South America after spending more than a decade in Europe.
Cavani has been close to leaving United on several occasions over the last year but decided to see out his Red Devils contract instead.
Fernandes signs new Man Utd deal
Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract at Manchester United until the summer of 2027 that will make him one of the club's highest-paid players, reports the Guardian.
Talks between the Portugal midfielder and the club have been going on since July and a breakthrough was made two weeks ago with an official announcement due imminently.
The new deal only adds one year onto his existing deal but includes an substantial pay rise.
Newcastle eye Coutinho (Sport)
The Magpies are ready to take the Brazilian to the north east
Newcastle are ready to hijack Aston Villa's bid to sign Philippe Coutinho permanently this summer, reports Sport.
Villa signed Coutinho on loan from Barcelona in January and have an agreement in place to sign him permanently for around €40 million (£33m/$44m).
However, that deal would also be dependant on the club taking on his full wages - currently subsidised by Barcelona - something Newcastle, with their new wealthy owners, would have no problem covering.
Leicester eye three signings
Leicester are eyeing three key signings this summer as Brendan Rodgers plans a mini rebuild of his squad, reports the Telegraph.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to recuit a winger, a No.8 and centre-back during the close season.
PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke and Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson are two players who have been scouted reguarly this campaign.

Trucker convoy plans to circle DC Beltway twice: report
A trucker convoy and supporters who oppose COVID-19 mandates reached Washington, D.C.’s Beltway on Sunday morning in an effort to clog traffic and urge lawmakers to lift coronavirus restrictions.
The “People’s Convoy” left from Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland at around 9:30 a.m. and began heading down a single lane of Interstate 81. The truckers planned to circle the Beltway two times before heading back to Hagerstown Speedway, according to a Facebook page for the group.
A video of the convoy posted on the Facebook page showed trucks passing under a large American flag held by two cranes as supporters stood along a road waving to drivers.
Officials and police in D.C., Maryland and Virginia said they are monitoring the protest closely and have advised the public to use alternate modes of transportation when possible. Officials said most of the activity is expected to occur on the Beltway.
(Thread 1/3) Traffic Advisory: The District of Columbia is monitoring demonstration activity that will begin to disrupt travel on roadways in and around the National Capital Region. The majority of this activity is expected to occur on the beltway, but could disrupt other areas. pic.twitter.com/rxKYbrf4s8
— Alert DC (@AlertDC) March 6, 2022
People’s Convoy organizer Brian Brase, 37, said the group intends to repeat the drive every day this week until its demands are met, adding that it plans to increase the number of loops around the Beltway each day, according to The Washington Post.
“We are law-abiding citizens that are just exercising our rights to this protest,” said Brase, noting that “every day is going to elevate what we do.”
The convoy is reminiscent of truckers in Canada who protested the vaccine requirement to cross the U.S.-Canada border, which caused significant blockages along the border.

That's according to new court filings by his lawyers on Thursday, which comes a day after a judge ordered fines against Jones for defying orders to attend a deposition last week despite his claim of illness.
Jones now says he can answer questions on April 11 and is asking the judge to put a hold on the fines. There was no immediate ruling on Jones' requests. The families are suing him for calling the school massacre a hoax.
Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis said, “The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant Alex Jones willfully and in bad faith violated without justification several clear court orders requiring his attendance at his depositions on March 23 and March 24.”
Judge Bellis said in the decision on Wednesday, “It is clear…that the plaintiffs here simply want and are entitled to the deposition of Mr. Jones and that Mr. Jones has continued to attempt to deliberately disregard the court’s orders and attempts to manipulate the court process.”
“While paying the fees and court’s costs will reimburse the plaintiffs for costs incurred in attempting to procure Mr. Jones’ deposition, it is not a substitution for his testimony,” she said.

The counting is over in the second union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. But it's too close to call.
There were 993 "no" votes and 875 "yes" votes, but more than 400 contested ballots remain. According to the National Labor Relations Board, there will be a hearing within a few weeks to decide if any of the challenged ballots will be opened and counted.
More than 6,100 workers were eligible to vote in the do-over election, which was ordered after the NLRB found that Amazon had improperly interfered in last year's tally.
Turnout in this year's vote was down from last year when over half of eligible voters cast ballots. But among those who actually voted this time around, there was greater support for the union. Last year, workers voted more than 2-to-1 against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a well-established national union.
"This time around we were able to educate more about unions," said Jennifer Bates, a warehouse employee, noting that organizers were able to get closer to workers now that the pandemic has eased.
The RWDSU called for every vote to be counted.
"The tenacity and courage of these workers never wavered in this unnecessarily long process," said RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum in a statement. "Workers will have to wait just a little bit longer to ensure their voices are heard."
Meanwhile in a separate Amazon union election on Staten Island in New York, the vote count will continue Friday morning. Roughly 8,000 workers were eligible to vote on whether to join the Amazon Labor Union, an upstart organization led by former and current Amazon warehouse employees. With ballots still to count, the union is in the lead, with 1,518 voting yes so far, and 1,154 voting no.

Reds reliever Lucas Sims trusting his plan, hopes to return after first week of season
GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Lucas Sims will begin the season on the 10-day Injured List, the result of a slower progression in camp, but he doesn't expect to miss many games.
Sims threw a bullpen session off a mound Wednesday. He plans to face hitters before the end of camp in a live batting practice session, though he’s not scheduled to pitch in any Cactus League games. It puts him on track to ramp up for the season in simulated games during the first week of the season.
“I really give Lucas a lot of credit for trusting our plan,” manager David Bell said. “He’s so competitive. He wants to have a great year. He wants to be out there Opening Day. He’s a big part of our bullpen in a lot of ways, so for him to trust this slower buildup has been tough for him, but I give him a lot of credit for doing it.

More:Fewer pitchers recover from second Tommy John surgery, but Tejay Antone ready to beat odds
"It’s tough for all of us. We want him to be out there Opening Day, but this approach was the smart way to go about it and we’re going to have him for the whole year this way.”
Sims had a rushed spring training last year and he thought that may have played a part in his trip to the 10-day IL in June with a sprained right elbow.
One year later and Sims hopes the delayed approach will lead to a healthy 2022 season.
“I don’t think it’ll be too long,” Sims said. “The plan is a minimum stint, basically. I think that’s the plan. It’s been going as planned. The buildup has been going really well. Starting to get a lot sharper. Start facing some hitters and as soon as I’m ready to help us win ballgames, I’ll be back.”
With Sims sidelined at the start of the season, the Reds will likely have some combination of Hunter Strickland, Art Warren, Luis Cessa and Justin Wilson pitching at the end of games.
Sims didn’t allow an earned run when he pitched in the ninth inning last year and he earned seven saves.
“Obviously, I want to be out there with the boys, but understanding we have to do the front end right, so we don’t have to deal with this anymore come May, June, whatever,” Sims said. “A couple off the front end is not the end of the world if we can be ready for the rest of the season, hopefully all the way through October.”

PLAYER TO BE NAMED LATER: The Reds acquired right-hander Connor Phillips as the player to be named in their six-player trade that sent Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suárez to the Seattle Mariners.
Phillips, the No. 64 pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, is known for his mid-90s fastball and a hard slider. He was rated as the No. 12 prospect in Seattle’s farm system by Baseball America. The 20-year-old had a 7-3 record and a 4.75 ERA in 16 starts at A-ball last season, striking out 104 and walking 44 in 72 innings.
“Phillips dominates with his fastball and slider when he’s on, but his control and command vary wildly from game to game,” Baseball America wrote in its scouting report, which called him a likely reliever. “His effortful delivery leads to scattered, below-average control despite his solid athleticism.”
The Reds had a few months to pick their player to be named from a small list of players, but they wanted Phillips in the organization before the minor-league season started.
“We could have scouted for another month, but we liked him over the other players on the player to be named later list,” Reds General Manager Nick Krall said. “We scouted all of them extensively through the last week, a month into spring training. We had a pretty good idea he’d be the guy.”
SCHEDULING UPDATES: The Reds had their Opening Day game against Atlanta, on April 7, pushed back to 8 p.m. because it will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN2.
The ESPN2 broadcast will begin at 7:30 p.m. to show Atlanta’s World Series banner raising ceremony. Karl Ravech, Eduardo Perez and Tim Kurkjian will be the game’s broadcasters.
The Reds will have two games picked up by Apple TV+’s “Friday Night Baseball.” The games, according to MLB’s press release, are available to anyone with Internet access, for free, only on Apple TV+.
The two Apple TV+ games are April 15 at the Los Angeles Dodgers on “Jackie Robinson Day,” and April 22 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Broadcast teams for the Apple TV+ games have not been announced.
RULE CHANGES: Major League Baseball announced several rule changes for the 2022 season because of the shortened spring training:
- There will be a 28-man roster with no restrictions on how many pitchers a team can use through May 1. Beginning May 2, active rosters will return to 26 players with a maximum of 13 pitchers.
- Pitchers will have a 10-day Injured List through May 1, before it returns to a 15-day Injured list.
- Players may be optioned to the minor leagues a maximum of five times during a season, but any options prior to May 1 do not count toward that number.
- The runner at second base in extra innings will return throughout the entire 2022 season.

Police in Washington, D.C., found five fetuses inside the house of a self-proclaimed “anti-abortion activist” after she was indicted on federal civil rights offenses after allegedly blocking access to a reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook.
Shortly after noon on Wednesday, officers responded to a call about potential biohazard material in a home, WUSA-TV reported. It was the home of Lauren Handy, 28, who had just been charged with a felony for allegedly, along with eight other people, blockading a reproductive-health clinic in October 2020.
The fetus seizure stemmed from a separate investigation than the federal one, D.C. Police executive assistant chief of police Ashan M. Benedict told reporters, according to WUSA.
A search of the home yielded the fetuses, which the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner then collected. Homicide and forensics experts searched the row house and brought out bag after red biohazard bag, as well as coolers, from the basement, WUSA reported.
When police descended, Handy told the outlet’s reporters that “people would freak out when they heard” what was inside.
Benedict did not seem freaked out when he spoke to reporters, but noted that there were so many questions.
“There doesn’t appear to be anything criminal about that — except for how they got into that house,” he said, according to WUSA.
Handy is the director of activism at Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, a group that purports to dismantle the “abortion industrial complex” and stand in “solidarity with the unborn victims killed by abortion violence,” according to its Facebook page.
Handy stands accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of posing as a potential patient to gain access to the clinic, then directing the blockade of the clinic, according to a DOJ statement. They blockaded two clinic doors “using their bodies, furniture, chains and ropes,” the DOJ said. Also charged were Jonathan Darnel, 40, of Virginia; Jay Smith, 32, and John Hinshaw, 67, and William Goodman, 52, of New York; Joan Bell, 73, of New Jersey; Paulette Harlow, 73, Jean Marshall, 72, of Massachusetts; and Heather Idoni, 61, of Michigan.
The organization did not comment to news outlets about Handy’s criminal charges or her fetus stash, instead promising to “address the claims surrounding the 5 deceased children found at Lauren Handy’s apartment at a press conference in DC.”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A bunch of one-and-done phenoms brought together by Kentucky coach John Calipari stepped onto the floor into the spotlight of the cavernous Superdome 10 years ago, oozing with the kind of NBA potential that made it clear their college basketball careers were about to end at the Final Four.
Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and the rest of them went out on top, too, beating Kansas in the Big Easy to deliver the Wildcats their eighth national championship and Calipari the first of his career.
Fast-forward to the present, and the return of the Final Four to New Orleans, and there is a much more old-school feel to the national semifinals as each of the the participants — Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Villanova — benefited in one way or another from COVID-19 waivers, medical redshirts and the explosion of the transfer portal.
“It’s the oldest that college basketball has ever been,” acknowledged Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, “so as a result of that, it’s going to be tougher to win. I mean, I think (Shane) Battier played the most games here, 130-something. We’re playing against guys that have played 160 games, sometimes three of them are on the other team. That’s a lot.”
Indeed, all four teams in the Big Easy have the kind of savvy veterans once seemed endangered in the world of big-time college hoops, and together they are proving on the game’s biggest stage that experience still matters.
“That’s why we shouldn’t be shocked at anything that’s happened in the tournament,” the retiring Krzyzewski said, “because the age differential is so dramatic. For us, it’s been dramatic.”
Yes, the Blue Devils are the youngest team in New Orleans, but everything is relative. They still feature senior Joey Baker and fifth-year senior Theo John, who began his career at Marquette and is about to play in his 162nd game.
The experience has paid off. Young, talented teams such as Memphis were bounced early out of the NCAA Tournament, while hardened teams such as Providence, Saint Peter’s and Miami made runs into the second weekend.
“It takes a significant amount of time to get everyone to buy into your program,” explained Jayhawks coach Bill Self, who has had more success with veteran teams than with one-and-dones such as Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid.
“But,” Self cautioned, “I would say that talent plus experience is what wins.”
Good luck finding a team more experienced than Kansas.
— Backup guard Jalen-Coleman Lands will play in his 171st game spanning stints at Illinois, DePaul and Iowa State when the Jayhawks face Villanova, trailing Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon and USC’s Chevez Goodwin for the most in Division I history.
— Mitch Lightfoot will play in his 167th game and second Final Four after making it with the Jayhawks in 2018.
— Arizona State transfer Remy Martin and big man David McCormack will have surpassed 130 games by the time their season ends, while All-American guard Ochai Agbajiis about to play his 121st game for Kansas.
In fact, the Jayhawks’ top eight scorers have appeared in 965 games — almost certainly a record for a Final Four team.
Maybe for any team.
The Jayhawks aren’t alone. Brady Manek spent four seasons at Oklahoma, transferred to North Carolina for one more, and will play in his 160th game against Duke in the second semifinal Saturday night. Villanova has two players, Collin Gillespie and Jermaine Samuels, who have played more than 150 games apiece, and two more who have topped 100.
Over the years, the Wildcats have become the poster program for winning with experience.
When they captured the national championship in 2016, they had four starters that had played at least 100 games, led by seniors Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu. The top six scorers on coach Jay Wright’s 2018 title team, which romped past Lightfoot and the Jayhawks in the Final Four, included four juniors along with senior Phil Booth.
“Everyone should applaud what they’ve built there, and of course Jay is the ringmaster of that,” Self said, “and how they develop their guys and fundamental they are. You have to beat them; they don’t beat themselves. And when you have older players, I do think a culture can exist, and they would be the top of our profession.
“When you look at our situation,” Self said, “we had Josh (Jackson) who was one-and-done, and I guess Wiggs and Jo were one-and-dones. That’s going back to 2014. But we’ve done it with older kids, too. We’ve done it with the Frank Masons and the Devonte Grahams and Landon Lucas. We’ve had comparable success with, you know, older guys.”
Everyone in this year’s Final Four has older guys, though.
The combined experience of Duke, again the youngest of the bunch, still far outpaces that 2012 Kentucky team or another collection of one-and-done national champs: the Blue Devils of Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow.
Their title in 2015 might have been the high-water mark of the one-and-done championship era, though. The rise of the G League, Overtime Elite and more overseas opportunities are providing alternative pathways to some of the best prep prospects. As a result the talent level of programs relying primarily on freshmen and sophomores is not quite the same, and in many cases, they can no longer rely on pure ability to beat teams that have been together for years.
Meanwhile, the recent passage of NIL legislation is allowing college athletes to earn endorsement money in college, giving them another reason to stick around when they might otherwise chase a professional career.
“Some of these teams, they’ve got kids, some of them are in their sixth year of school, because maybe they redshirted and now they’ve got the COVID year,” Florida Gulf Coast athletic director Ken Kavanagh said. “You’ve got older teams and they are maybe not good enough (players) to go to the NBA, but they’re really good, talented players who can make a difference.
“Older teams that have been playing together are usually more experienced than kids who are 17, 18 years old.”
Four of those older teams are the last ones standing in New Orleans this week.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” Kavanagh said.

PORTSMOUTH — Scioto County Commissioner’s discussed the opportunity to purchase the Chillicothe Street Fifth Third building at their meeting on Thursday.
“It’s been almost two months since the board allowed me to begin negotiating on the behalf of the county for the Fifth Third building on Chillicothe Street,” said Commissioner Scottie Powell. “The initial price of that was $570,000 but we were able to negotiate down to $418,000.”
Powell said they did sign a letter of intent to lock in the price of $418,000.
“We’ve been going back and forth with the prosecutor’s office for a purchase agreement and a sell agreement,” said Powell. “We still have due diligence to do on terms of somebody getting in there and looking through the building but this is moving us towards closing.”
Powell said this is a huge project.
“This is an opportunity to provide economic development in our downtown area. So often we talk about manufacturing which of course we need but then Jobs Ohio also looks if there are any back office offerings and this gives us the ability to have a different product to offer,” said Powell.
Powell said Fifth Third and the real estate agent have been great to work with.
“I think they see the value in the county being able to acquire this property, they’re still in the community, they’re still serving the community, and I think they see a value in what we can do with that property,” said Powell.
The Commissioners plan to move forward toward closing.
“By signing these documents we would have to put $25,000 in escrow while we go through the process and closing is around June because they still need to move out into their other building but the next step is to choose to buy this property,” said Powell.
Fifth Third Bank will be relocating to 1115 Gay St. Portsmouth, OH 45662 which was previously Jimmy John’s.
Commissioner Bryan Davis thanked Powell for getting the price lowered.
“I want to say thank you, Chairman Powell, for getting the price reduced $152,000, that’s pretty amazing and I appreciate your negotiations,” said Davis.

Toffees eye Vestergaard
Everton are eyeing a summer move for Leicester defender Jannick Vestergaard, according to Football Insider.
The Toffees are keen to recruit a dominant centre-back this summer and have turned their attentions to the 29-year-old for Southampton player.
New Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell went to watch Vestergaard in action for Denmark against Serbia in midweek.
Cavani closing in on Boca move
Edinson Cavani is closing in on a move to Boca Juniors when his Manchester United contract expires at the end of the season, reports Todofichajes.
The Uruguyan is keen to move closer to his family in South America after spending more than a decade in Europe.
Cavani has been close to leaving United on several occasions over the last year but decided to see out his Red Devils contract instead.
Fernandes signs new Man Utd deal
Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract at Manchester United until the summer of 2027 that will make him one of the club's highest-paid players, reports the Guardian.
Talks between the Portugal midfielder and the club have been going on since July and a breakthrough was made two weeks ago with an official announcement due imminently.
The new deal only adds one year onto his existing deal but includes an substantial pay rise.
Newcastle eye Coutinho (Sport)
The Magpies are ready to take the Brazilian to the north east
Newcastle are ready to hijack Aston Villa's bid to sign Philippe Coutinho permanently this summer, reports Sport.
Villa signed Coutinho on loan from Barcelona in January and have an agreement in place to sign him permanently for around €40 million (£33m/$44m).
However, that deal would also be dependant on the club taking on his full wages - currently subsidised by Barcelona - something Newcastle, with their new wealthy owners, would have no problem covering.
Leicester eye three signings
Leicester are eyeing three key signings this summer as Brendan Rodgers plans a mini rebuild of his squad, reports the Telegraph.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to recuit a winger, a No.8 and centre-back during the close season.
PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke and Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson are two players who have been scouted reguarly this campaign.

After Maryland tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo ran the fastest 40-yard dash among his position group at the NFL scouting combine earlier this month, he was mad.
The time of 4.52 seconds ranked in the 94th percentile among tight ends since 2011, according to scouting database MockDraftable, but Okonkwo said he wanted to be faster — especially after running a 4.40 during training. Still, his performance generated much-needed buzz heading into the NFL draft on April 28 in Las Vegas.
On Wednesday, Okonkwo continued to show off his skills, participating in Maryland’s Pro Day with his fellow draft-eligible teammates in front of 45 scouts from 29 NFL teams. For the senior, it’s a chance to turn a childhood dream into a reality.
“I’ve been doing this since I was 7,” the 6-foot-2, 238-pound Okonkwo said. “It’s been my No. 1 goal my entire life.”
His journey at Maryland took its share of twists and turns before a breakout senior season. As college football grappled with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Okonkwo missed the season because of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. He returned this past season, becoming one of junior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa’s go-to targets after receivers Dontay Demus Jr. and Jeshaun Jones went down with season-ending injuries.
Okonkwo caught 52 passes for 447 yards and a team-best five touchdowns, but more importantly, he showcased his versatility as a receiver and a blocker, which he feels can translate smoothly to the NFL level.
“I can play every role,” he said. “I can play out wide, the slot, the backfield. I can cause mismatches, and I can block.”
Maryland coach Mike Locksley said the team runs a pro-style offense that allowed Okonkwo to be an inline blocker and a detached receiver.
“Our offensive system is very versatile, which allows the players to showcase things the NFL is looking for,” Lockley said.
Okonkwo said he didn’t realize how much Maryland prepared him until he went to the East-West Shrine Game in February and felt he was a step ahead of the other tight ends. While working with the Indianapolis Colts staff, Okonkwo said the coaches used the same terminology he learned at Maryland.
Big Ten Network analyst Matt Millen, a former Penn State defensive lineman and general manager for the Detroit Lions, said Okonkwo still has room to grow after improving during his career, particularly as a senior.
“If somebody drafts him, they’re going to have to be a little patient with him, but I think he has something to work with,” Millen said.
Okonkwo, who could be drafted as high as the third round, said he has had in-depth conversations with the Ravens, New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and Tennessee Titans. Playing with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is something he would cherish.
“You don’t get to see that many extraordinary talents like that,” he said.
Cross looking for opportunity — perhaps close to home
Okonkwo was joined at Maryland’s Pro Day by defensive backs Nick Cross and Jordan Mosley, running back Tayon-Fleet Davis, defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu, kicker Joseph Petrino and defensive lineman Lawtez Rogers.
Just like Okonkwo, Cross garnered attention at the NFL scouting combine, recording the fastest 40-yard dash (4.34) among safeties.
A three-time All-Big Ten Conference honorable mention, Cross led the Terps last season with three interceptions and two forced fumbles in 13 games. The junior also finished second on the team in tackles (66), including 3 ½ for loss, while adding three sacks and four pass breakups.
A Bowie native, Cross grew up a Washington Commanders fan and said it would feel good playing for his childhood team alongside his former DeMatha teammate Chase Young. However, he wouldn’t mind any NFL team that gives him an opportunity.
“Only a select few people get the opportunity to play in the NFL,” he said.
Cross, a projected third-round pick who could climb into the second round, said he has spoken with a handful of teams, including the Ravens, who he met with at the combine. Millen thinks the 6-foot, 212-pound Cross has the speed, size and agility to be productive at the NFL level.
“He’s got a good skill set for the safety spot,” Millen said. “The thing with safeties is you have to understand angles. And he does a pretty good job of that. I think he’s a pretty good player.”
Maryland’s Pro Day also featured a few other local players, such as Towson wide receiver Caleb Smith and offensive linemen Demarcus Gilmore and Andrew Garnett, as well as Delaware defensive back Nijuel Hill (Calvert Hall).
From Terps lacrosse standout to the NFL?
Former Maryland men’s lacrosse star turned Ferris State quarterback Jared Bernhardt performed wide receiver and defensive back drills, hoping a team gives him a shot after leading the Bulldogs to an NCAA Division II national championship.
When the 6-1, 195-pound Bernhardt was asked what position he preferred the most, he said “I’m open to anything.”
“It was a cool feeling coming back to College Park,” he said. “I would definitely like to do better. I try to hold myself to a high standard.”
After a five-year lacrosse career in which he became the Terps’ all-time record holder in career points (290) and goals (202), Bernhardt transferred to Ferris State, where he rushed for 1,421 yards and 26 touchdowns and completed 70.7% of his passes for 1,322 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions to be nominated for the 2021 Harlon Hill Trophy as the Division II College Football Player of the Year.
Bernhardt said the transition from lacrosse to football hasn’t been easy, as he had to watch a ton of film while seeking guidance from former New England Patriots receiver Chris Hogan, who played lacrosse for three years at Penn State before playing football at Football Championship Subdivision-level Monmouth.
Even though Bernhardt hasn’t touched a lacrosse stick in a while, he didn’t rule out the possibility of returning to the sport. But for now, he’s focused on football.
“I want to win no matter the cost,” he said. “Help out any way possible. It doesn’t matter if I play.”

Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest superhero is not, in the conventional sense, either "super" or a "hero," but he does have an unorthodox ailment and a weird skill-set to separate him from mere mortals. His name is Morbius, and while watching his origin story, you may get the feeling that somewhere in the cinematic multiverse, wires got crossed.
The film begins with a helicopter, transporting a cage to the sort of mist-shrouded isle you half expect King Kong to be inhabiting. But Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is looking to capture smaller game as he approaches the mouth of a cave, hobbling with difficulty on two crutch-like canes.
Positioning himself behind the wires of the cage, he slices open the palm of his hand and, as a roar of batwings echoes from inside the cave, murmurs to the copter pilot "if you're gonna run, do it now."
A rare blood disease treated with a bit o' bat
It's tempting to say "consider yourself warned," but the film's first hour or so, while unremarkable, is decently crafted.
Born with a rare blood disease, Michael Morbius has spent his entire life working on two things — a cure, and origami paper-folding. Natch, it occurs to him to fold together bat and human DNA.
Because the FDA would be unlikely to approve human trials, he and his beautiful co-researcher Martine (Adria Arjona) head in a cargo ship for international waters off the coast of Long Island in the company of eight thuggish mercenaries — think bloodbags — and once Morbius has been injected with bat DNA, it's just a matter of time before things go vampiric.
Let it be said that some side-effects from dabbling in "chiropter-y" are less ghastly than others. Bat DNA evidently gives you great cheekbones and abs to go with increased strength and speed.
Less salutary effects include new fangs that sprout from his gums with decades of decay baked in, and claws that erupt from his fingers pre-filthed. I mean, sure...why not? Except this is a man whose hair has the kind of sheen that comes from brushing it three times a day.
One other thing: he now needs to drink human blood every six hours. Happily, on his way to declining a Nobel Prize, Dr. Morbius invented "artificial blood," though that only fools his system for a while.
Color coded smoke effects for a Jekyll and his Hyde
If you're expecting a conventional Marvel movie, you should be aware going in that what Director Daniel Espinoza and his writers have come up with is more a horror flick with Marvel bells and whistles.
That means Leto's Morbius gets purplish smoke effects to go with those fang-baring snarls as he's riding air currents in subway tunnels, while the similarly afflicted Hyde to his Jekyll – a schoolboy chum played as an adult by an amusingly hopped-up Matt Smith, gets blue-ish vapor trails and snappier lines.
But there isn't much tension to their story. Or logic. At one point, Morbius overhears some counterfeiters passing fake $100s, and commandeers their printing press to make what appears to be an artificial-blood machine — because the technologies for fake-bills and fake-blood match up? Maybe that works better in a comic book.
Bat guys everywhere you look
Speaking of which, when the DC Extended Universe first announced that Twilight star Robert Pattinson would play the lead in The Batman in their corner of the superhero multiverse, it seemed like a nice inside joke — from Vampire-teen to Bat-man. But now that the Marvelverse has Leto going full Dracula, it seems as if the casting maybe could've gone the other way 'round.
Leto is as persuasively haunted by the dark side of vigilantism as Pattinson was, and as a result of corporate positioning, is maybe more determined to avoid being a villain. Not unlike Venom, Morbius was a bad guy when he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man comics, back in the 1970's. He needs to be at least an anti-hero now, if a franchise is to be built around him.
But bad guy/bat guy...who's to say? As the trailers reveal, another DC bat-guy, Michael Keaton, shows up in his non-batty baddie Marvel persona Adrian Toomes, just to mess with the heads of anyone trying to keep cinematic universes straight.
But bloodlines will have to be clarified in more robust "Morbius" episodes to come, this origin story being merely adequate, and by Marvel standards, slightly anemic.

Andrew Cuomo blames ‘cancel culture’ for ouster from office
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who resigned last year amid multiple accusations of workplace sexual misconduct, spoke out in public about his exit from office for the first time on Sunday and blamed “the cancel culture mentality” for his decision to leave.
While delivering remarks at the God’s Battalion of Prayer Church in Brooklyn, Cuomo acknowledged “a difficult period the past few months.”
“I resigned as governor, the press roasted me, my colleagues were ridiculed, my brother was fired, it was ugly. It was the first time that I was glad that my father wasn’t here so he didn’t have to see it,” said Cuomo.
Addressing the congregation, Cuomo spoke about how politics has become “so mean and extreme,” pointing a finger at his own political party.
The former governor also directly addressed the allegations that were made against him by multiple female staffers and said the problem was that his behavior had not changed over 40 years despite a “new sensitivity” among younger generations.
In his remarks, he also called cancel culture “a new extremism.”
“No one ever told me I made them feel uncomfortable and I never sensed that I caused any discomfort to anyone, I was trying to do the opposite. But I understand that was my error,” Cuomo said, adding that he accepted comments that he was old-fashioned and out of touch.
“But the political sharks in Albany smelled blood and exploited the situation for their own political purpose,” he added.
Cuomo also lambasted the investigations into his conduct, saying there was “prosecutorial misconduct.”
Westchester County District Attorney Mimi Rocah announced in December that Cuomo would not face charges despite “credible” allegations. Acting Nassau County District Attorney Joyce Smith, meanwhile, announced in January that a female state trooper’s allegations against Cuomo were “credible,” but “not criminal.”
“With cancel culture, we now live in a frightening new world where any accusation can trigger condemnation without facts, without due process. We are a nation of laws – not a nation of Tweets,” Cuomo said. “Social media and Twitter spread cancel culture like a virus. They allow the extreme minority to overpower the reasonable majority.”
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Short Film Chronicles the Quinceañera Dream of One Woman
NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking International Transgender Day of Visibility, Pantene today released a documentary-style short film chronicling the Quinceañera of a transgender woman, Isa, denied one as a teenager. Longtime agency Grey New York created the campaign.
Against great odds (see stats), from job discrimination to systemic violence, transgender women have made significant progress in Latin America, holding elective office and as business leaders.
People begin understanding their gender identity as early as three years old. But many transgender people don't know or share this about their gender until later in life due to safety and issues of cultural acceptance.
"It doesn't matter when or at what age someone knows who they are, whether at 15 or 44. Whenever they feel comfortable being themselves and sharing that truth is a moment to celebrate," said Martina Brubacher, Director of Communications for Pantene for Latin America, "As a brand, we know the power of hair and how it can be a statement for expressing one's true self, so it's important for us to feature stories like Isa's, a transgender woman who celebrates her journey."
The Quinceañera is a dream come true for many Latina girls as they turn fifteen. But this rite of passage to womanhood, celebrated by family and community, has often excluded transgender women from this cultural milestone.
Pantene has partnered with Isa, a transgender woman in her forties, to give her the Quinceañera she never had. The film tells her poignant story and follows her preparations leading up to and including the day with her friends and family. (Link to the film)
"For all the times I had to hide my identity and deny my existence - today I say, I am here. I am Isa," said Isa
The integrated digitally-led campaign includes online video, social media, influencers, and public relations. The brand once again worked with GLAAD, which accelerates the acceptance and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people by sharing stories and accessing all forms of media to uplift members of the community.
"The team chose to launch this film on International Day of Trans Visibility – to inspire every young transgender person. Anything is possible; happiness and acceptance is something everyone deserves," said Javier Bonilla, Executive Creative Director at Grey.
Please see statistics on the challenges transgender people face:
- Since Statista started collecting data, 2021 is the year with the highest number of deaths of transgender and gender-diverse people, with 375 murders recorded between October 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021. Most of the murders took place in Brazil (125), Mexico (65), Honduras (53), and the United States (53).
- According to the data reported by Sin Violencia LGBTI, between the years 2014 and 2020, 1403 people from the LGBTI community were murdered for reasons related to prejudice against their sexual orientation or gender identity.
- 94% of the transgender population In Brazil reports suffering some form of violence motivated by discrimination due to their gender identity
- 175 transgender people were murdered in Brazil in 2020, 41% more than in 2019 (the country leads the ranking of murders of trans people in the world)

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hallaron, a full-service advertising and branding agency in The Woodlands, Texas has begun using digital advertising platforms to serve smaller, local political advertisers. The advantage is using microtargeted geographic and behavioral factors to serve highly custom display and video ads to local voters. The results point to more efficient campaigns that can get better results even with monthly ad spends less than $10,000.
Through a collaborative partnership with Vici Media Inc., based in Philiadelphia, PA, Hallaron began using sophisticated digital platforms including precise targeting tools to serve ads among local county and even city elections in early 2022 primaries. Often reserved for larger business or political clients, Hallaron uses the same big-client ad tools to shape strategy for smaller local low budget campaigns. Often the focus is replacing older marketing thinking with smarter targeting that serves ads to local voters using cell phones and social media instead of billboards or direct mail.
"Our new political campaigns aim to serve voters with ads where they consume daily news and entertainment – that's through their mobile phones and the Internet," explains agency principal Mike Hallaron.
Statista reports that mobile media usage in the United States is set to increase to four hours and 29 minutes per day in 2022. Compare that time with traditional drive time and radio listening, print, or TV viewership.
Because of lengthy Covid-19 shutdowns, Hallaron says many Americans extended their digital and mobile reliance even further – turning to these devices for business, shopping, and reaching the world beyond their front door.
Direct mail is still popular in most small market political races where access to new digital techniques lags behind. Inexpensive yard signs are still widely used but limited. Digital and mobile ads include links to landing pages where voters can watch a candidates videos, read a bio, or review her platform positions on local issues. "When you add a well-executed social strategy on Facebook, the frequency and reach for a small campaign can be game-changing," Hallaron says.
Hallaron's digital partner Vici Media works with nearly 200 ad agencies and media companies in the U.S., serving 3 billion digital ad impressions annually. The company was named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 in 2020. Hallaron sees more clients educating themselves about creative digital media strategies, such as geofencing, mobile conquesting and social mirroring techniques, for example.
Hallaron Advertising Agency is an award-winning full-service ad agency in The Woodlands, Texas. Since 2003, Hallaron has helped reshape winning brands and mastered creative advertising campaigns that lead to better sales and business growth for their clients. Visit www.hallaron.com to learn more.

Google Maps is an essential and omnipresent tool for a reason: Its maps and directions are accurate, user-friendly, and they usually provide all the information you need to get from point A to point B. But there have been allegations that Google doesn't play well with its competition when it comes to using Maps and other apps, and unfortunately for the search giant, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) is looking closely into those arguments.
According to a new report from Reuters, the DOJ is still pursuing an inquiry that began in 2020 into whether Google's integration of Maps with other Google software illegally suppresses competition — therefore breaking antitrust laws. The probe is reportedly focused on two main avenues of inquiry. One of those targets the apps you'll find in car infotainment centers. Google Automotive Services gives carmakers a branded bundle that contains Maps, the Play Store, Assistant, and some other relevant apps to use in vehicles. The problem is that manufacturers aren't allowed to mix Maps with any other kind of voice assistant — which Google claims is simply because full integration of its products makes for the optimal experience. The other direction of the probe is looking at the way Google doesn't permit developers who use Google tech in their apps to also use tech created by rival companies.
As Reuters notes, Google already has one 2020 lawsuit on its plate — the DOJ alleges the tech giant broke antitrust laws in trying to remain the top search engine. That suit's looking like it will go to trial in 2023 — and it may well be followed by another focused on the way the company has long dominated online advertising. Potential antitrust measures from the DOJ could drastically change how Google dictates the way Maps is used. Until then, we'll just have to wait and see what happens in court.

Walters State Community College was recognized as the Community College of the Year by the Tennessee Board of Regents during its annual SOAR Awards Dinner in Nashville.
The College of the Year award recognizes the college that has demonstrated, through evidence, a sustained commitment to and proactive advancement of student success and workforce development.
“This award reflects the dedication and work of our students, faculty and staff,” Dr. Tony Miksa, president of Walters State, said.
“I am so proud of every member of our college family who has remained dedicated to student success, especially during the challenges of the past two years. We are deeply honored and humbled by this award and know that it would not be possible without the tremendous community support we receive from throughout our service area or the leadership of the Tennessee Board of Regents and the state legislature.”
In its selection criteria, TBR said the award seeks to recognize colleges with measurable and significant increases in: on-time degree completion; certificate completion; transfer rates to four-year institutions; and progression and completion of underrepresented student populations. Other criteria included innovative programs that support student success and workforce development with student support services, K-12 partnerships/collaboration, and workforce readiness partnerships.
The selection committee also looked at the development of a comprehensive and bold strategic plan to address existing equity gaps and how the college has contributed to state completion goals and system strategic priority areas across the institution.
More than 300 students, faculty, staff, supporters, state legislators and other guests attended the SOAR Awards Dinner, presented by The Ayers Foundation, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Nashville Downtown.
Special guests included former Governor Winfield Dunn, who in 1972 signed into law the legislation creating the Tennessee Board of Regents system, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Other special guests included former TBR Chancellors Roy Nicks and David Gregory, and board members of the Foundation for the College System of Tennessee.
