Billy Napier’s Revival: Gainesville Was Ready to Toss Him Into the Swamp

Ginkgo Bioworks (NYSE:DNA) Shares Gap Down – What’s Next?The ice sheet at TRIA Rink was slightly more crowded than in recent weeks on Thursday morning as the Minnesota Wild held their pregame skate in preparation for the Oilers first visit of the season. The two extra bodies on the ice represented some good news for a team that has made winning, despite significant injuries, its competing storylines this season. ADVERTISEMENT Specifically, veteran defenseman Jonas Brodin and top-line forward Mats Zuccarello were in full uniform, skating with their teammates for the first time in a long time. And while neither was expected back in the lineup just yet, having numbers 25 and 36 on the rink was a notably positive sight. “Really good just in the sense that they were able to skate, so we’ll do some extra work after practice and then probably skate again tomorrow and then we’ll see,” Wild coach John Hynes said. “I don’t have a timeline on them yet other than they’ve progressed well to get in the team setting. So, now we’ll see what they do. They’ll need some contact and some extra work and see how they respond.” Brodin has missed nine games this season, including the previous seven in a row, while dealing with an upper body injury. Zuccarello last played in a home win over Montreal on Nov. 14, when he was hit below the belt by a teammate’s shot and suffered a lower body injury that required surgery. Having both players back on the ice was a meaningful step for their teammates, as the Wild have persevered and gotten to the top of the Western Conference standings despite those losses, and the ongoing absence of center Joel Eriksson Ek. Brodin especially is a key player on the team’s blue line. ADVERTISEMENT “It’s exciting for everyone. He’s an important part of our team and such a factor every time he’s on the ice,” defenseman Declan Chisholm said. “He’s missed for sure and we’re excited to get him back soon.” Hynes added that during a player’s recovery from an injury, after they have begun working out and skating on their own, that first time stepping back onto the practice rink with teammates in full uniform can be a notable psychological boost. “It’s important because usually you go through that stage of the off-ice treatments and then recovery, weight room, skate on your own, and they’ve been skating together for a couple days,” the coach said. “But to get in the team setting where you’re with other guys on the ice, you’re back with the team, there’s a lot more going on, and you’re reading and reacting in certain situations, it’s a good step to get back in the team setting.” Eriksson Ek has not yet begun skating on his own as he recovers from a lower body injury suffered in overtime of a win versus Vancouver last week. ADVERTISEMENT Hockey fans in the holiday spirit of helping those in need will have two opportunities to contribute to toy drives organized by the Wild in advance of Christmas. Prior to the Saturday, Dec. 14 game versus Philadelphia and the Friday, Dec. 20 game versus Utah, fans coming to Xcel Energy Center may bring new, unwrapped toys, games and cash which will be collected at the arena’s entrances. Personnel from the Salvation Army will distribute the donated items to needy families in the Twin Cities. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

The Post and Courier recently reported that we are nearing the point where half of our state’s residents will have been born elsewhere . I am a third-generation Charlestonian. I was born here, my parents left when I was very young, and I grew up in New Jersey but returned every summer with my family to visit my mother’s side of the family. I still have a New Jersey accent. It's something that will probably never leave me, just as my mother’s Southern accent never left her even though we lived in New Jersey for decades. I have yet to use the expression “y’all” and doubt I ever will. There is another expression that was not commonplace in the Northeast: "transplant." I did not hear that term in reference to people until I moved back to Charleston to be with my parents. We also never asked someone “Were you born here?" or “Where are you from?” That's not because we had no interest in people's rich cultural heritage or ancestry but because we just accepted that New Jersey was now our home. More than this, we were fellow Americans living in our country. Even if someone was visiting or working toward obtaining citizenship, they were given the same respect and acceptance. Fast forward to moving back to Charleston. We all see and hear jokes about folks from other states, especially Ohio, which seems to take the brunt of such jokes. Folks still call Northerners “Yankees” — and not lovingly. They often are blamed for everything that has gone wrong including unbridled development. I am Greek American. All my grandparents were Greek. Three grandparents came to the United States via Ellis Island in the late 1920s from the Greek island of Ithaka. One set of grandparents settled in New York, and my grandfather George Manos settled in Charleston. Whatever happened to “This land is your land, this land is my land. From California to the New York island"? Those words from the Woody Guthrie song, “This Land is Your Land,” were what we learned and sang together at our elementary schools, along with “America the Beautiful.” My father, a gifted singer who sang at Carnegie Hall in a boys’ choir, would sing all the old folk songs — songs that evoked a sense of pride, love and honor for our country. He was also a military veteran, as were his brothers and my great uncles. Almost 75 years after his service, I overheard a member at a local veterans organization say unconscionable, unhospitable and disparaging remarks to his friends in reference to my ethnic heritage and my presence. It was deeply disturbing and hurtful given that my father, Peter, memory eternal, was a past post commander of a VFW. My mother graduated from Ashley Hall, which she absolutely adored. Her parents and her schooling instilled in her brotherly love, respect and acceptance for all people. Religious, political and social tolerance should be seeds planted in the heart of every child. We all have a story and a history. We all matter. Instead of being suspicious, judgmental or territorial toward others, and critical about each other’s differences, let us celebrate each other — and a beautiful opportunity to expand our understanding not only of our city, state and nation but also of our world.

Residents of the national capital breathed in despair on Saturday, with the air quality plunging back to the ‘severe’ category as average Air Quality Index (AQI) pegged at 412. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the prominent pollutant in the national capital’s air on Saturday was the PM 2.5 (particulate matter), which refers to particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller. The highest AQI level on Saturday was recorded at Wazirpur with the index value of 450, at 4 pm, as per the CPCB. Advertisement Despite implementation of the various measures as per the anti- pollution plan in force across the city, AQI levels are still high, with people getting affected by the harmful effects of pollutants causing respiratory issues and aggravating the conditions of those already suffering from pulmonary ailments, cardiac problems and Cerebrovascular problems. Masks seem to have become a part of daily life, as people who have to venture out for work have no other option, but to wear them to prevent themselves from harmful effects of pollution. According to Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva’s claims, people are buying expensive air purifiers, while anti- allergy medicines have become part of daily life of many households. Meteorological conditions seem unfavorable presently for the dispersion of pollutants, as per the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, however the weather agency has said that AQI index may step down from severe category on Sunday, and remain under ‘very poor’ zone till Monday. Anti- smog guns, water sprinklers could be seen across the city’s roads, especially on those with more traffic, but on the other hand Delhi BJP says that the Resident Welfare Associations claim they did not see smog guns or water sprinklers functioning in the colonies. Meanwhile, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai visited Narela border on Friday to take stock of the situation upon receiving complaints that vehicles restricted under the Graded Response Action plan were allegedly entering the city.

After squandering an eight-point lead with 8:53 left in the game, and allowing Houston to force overtime, Alabama outscored the Cougars 7-2 in the extra frame for the win. Houston’s LJ Cryer, who led all scorers with a career-high matching 30 points, had a chance to win the game but missed a mid-range baseline jumper with two seconds remaining. Grant Nelson had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Mouhamed Dioubate had 10 points and 16 rebounds for Alabama. Emanuel Sharp finished with 14 points while J’Wan Roberts added 11 for the Cougars.

Houston: Sharp came into the event leading the Cougars and the Big 12 Conference with a nation’s second-highest 3-point shooting percentage of 73.3% (11 of 15).
