Before he was the NBA’s leading scorer and soon-to-be two-time league MVP, Curry was a college kid trying to win the affections of his now-wife, Ayesha. And believe it or not, it wasn’t all “love and basketball” at first sight, according to the couple’s account in a recent Parent Magazine article.

Scientists found that these features are more important than a low metabolism, shedding fresh light on the aging process. Turtle shells contribute to slower and even “negligible” aging - or lack of biological aging, for example. Many species of turtles and tortoises have also found a way to switch off senescent cells, which are “zombie” cells that stop dividing and cause disease. The senior author of a new study, Professor David Miller of Penn State University, said: “Negligible aging means if an animal’s chance of dying in a year is one percent at age 10, if it is alive at 100 years, it’s chance of dying is still 1 percent....

Please, Mr. Nielsen. Oh, the ratings are going to sparkle and we’ll all be playing highlights of Wichita State-Kentucky in our heads for years. So the NCAA Tournament selection committee can smirk and pretend as though the job they performed in seeding the field was not only successful, but spectacular. And if they’re running a television show, they’re certainly correct — except they’re not. They’re running an athletic competition that is televised, and that is a very different thing....

You’ll find yourself reading every single word of Alice McDermott’s new novel, her third, not because it’s complicated but because such wonderful things happen deep inside the sentences. On the surface, all is placid: McDermott guides us gently through a year or so in the life of an Irish-American family on Long Island, pausing now and then to dwell on a September morning in parochial school, or a long summer day in a Brooklyn apartment full of relatives....

Parties on a yacht and a fat, fifty-large, hand-delivered check to the president of a university that “lacked institutional control.” Rogue NCAA investigators running amok, and a clueless president standing in mud. MORE: Miami receives penalty | Which players were mentioned? DECOURCY: Scholarship cuts are foolish punishment Yeah, this looks good for all involved. It only took three years and embarrassing and humbling hide-in-the-corner moments for both the NCAA and Miami for us to come to this conclusion: if you cheat, you better cooperate when you get caught....

We’ll know soon enough–and not just about Thompson’s play. “Wit” is one of two Pulitzer Prize winners adapted for TV this month. ABC will debut the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “South Pacific,” starring Glenn Close and Harry Connick Jr., on March 26. PBS has just launched a new theatrical division called Stage on Screen that both adapts plays and broadcasts live performances. There’s even a fledgling network devoted to pay-per-view specials of Broadway shows....

And Chicago. And Kansas City. As Sunday’s Week 15 games approached, temperatures around the country became a story.

I vividly remember the moment when, on the way home from Everest in 1953, Ed Hillary, a New Zealand beekeeper, learned that he had become Sir Edmund Percival Hillary. What a laugh—that this least pompous of colonial boys, this most unpretentious of mountaineers, should suddenly become a Knight Commander of the British Empire, by command of Her Majesty the Queen of England. He did not, as I remember, laugh himself....

That was fairly evident in New England’s “Monday Night Football” game vs. the Cardinals. ESPN cameras caught the second-year signal-caller dropping a hot-mic F bomb after being forced into a timeout right out of halftime. Shortly after, he was seen waving off Patricia as he headed back onto the field. Warning: explicit language used.

Eric Nepute was charged by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act for making false marketing claims. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. In April 2020, Nepute’s business, Quickwork LLC, began advertising and selling products under the trade name “Wellness Warrior.” Wellness Warrior operates and maintains a Facebook page along with at least 11 websites.

Volcan de Fuego’s eruptions have consisted of weak explosions, resulting in a tall cloud of ash above the mountain, as well as lava being flung over 1,600 feet above the crater. “The Fuego volcano showed an increase in its activity, which in the last minutes has entered an eruption phase[…] The eruption is mostly effusive accompanied by incandescent pulses from the lava source,” the Guatemalan Institute of Volcanology (Insivumeh) said in a statement....

There is an increasing sense of urgency over what to do with the radioactive water as space at the plant is running out. The water is currently being housed in a thousand tanks, and while more are being built, it is thought that even these will be filled by the end of 2022. According to the AFP, the panel describes releasing water into the sea or the air (via vaporization) as “realistic options....

The ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned the decision in the 1973 court case and leaves the decision up to states to either ban or allow abortion. The ruling also overturned the 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. While a majority of Supreme Court justices voted in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade, three liberal justices—Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor—wrote a dissenting opinion....

Conventional trains make the journey in four hours at an average speed of 63 miles per hour; the X2000 can do it in under three hours at an average speed of 94 mph....
