Officials In Richmond S Upset Of Iowa Mar Ending With Pivotal No Calls

The 12-seed Spiders earned the first true upset of the 2022 tournament, upending the Big Ten champions 67-63 to advance to the second round, where they will face 4-seed Providence on Saturday in Buffalo, N.Y.

Oh To Be Fat And Healthy

Now for the reality check. No one has shown that equivalent doses of resveratrol are either safe or effective in people. Nor can you possibly get enough of the stuff from red wine. “You would have to drink over 1,000 glasses a day,” says Sinclair. Resveratrol supplements are not the answer, either, as they’re not well absorbed into the bloodstream. But, paté lovers, don’t despair. Sirtris Pharmaceuticals–cofounded by Sinclair–has developed an improved, synthetic version of resveratrol that is now in early trials for diabetes....

Ohio State Vs. Virginia Tech Betting Preview And Pick Bettors Fading Buckeyes

The Big Ten Buckeyes beat Navy 34-17 last Saturday, even covering the 13.5-point spread. However, that was a 20-17 game in the fourth quarter before a couple of OSU touchdowns, including one with just over two minutes left. Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett was 12-of-15 passing for 226 yards, with that yardage stat inflated by an 80-yard pass to Devin Smith. The Line: Ohio State -11.5, Total: 47 Line movement: This spread opened Ohio State -14 at the Wynn, and while bettors have taken the points early, that move is more about fading Ohio State then demonstrating any faith in Va....

Oilers Jesse Puljujarvi Wants Top 6 Role. Is It Realistic

In interviews with Finnish publications on Monday, Puljujarvi and his agent, Markus Lehto, want the 21-year-old to find not only a new club but a much bigger role to boot. “I want a team where I get a place in one of the first two lines and where I get to play for 15 minutes per game,” Puljujarvi said in an interview with Laari, a Finnish television station (translated via TSN)....

It’s just the third time in McDavid’s career that Edmonton has made the postseason. The team made it to the postseason last year but exited in the first round.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt Asks Pardon Board Chair To Resign After Five Clemency Votes

Stitt asked Luck for his resignation after the board heard five clemency hearings since October in which Luck voted in favor of relief for death row inmates every time. Luck announced Friday that he would resign effective immediately so the Republican governor, who is for the death penalty, could replace him with someone who shares similar views. “When I began service on this board there was a moratorium on executions in the state of Oklahoma....

Oklahoma Health Officials Made Call To Test Jazz For Coronavirus Despite Shortage Of Kits

Some of the answers came Friday.

It wanted to test people who had recently been in direct contact with him. Gobert was not at the arena Wednesday. He was listed as questionable, and then out, because of illness....

Oklahoma House Passed Bill To Let State Declare Biden Executive Orders Unconstitutional

The bill, HB 1236, would allow the Oklahoma attorney general to review any executive orders, congressional laws or federal agency rules to see if they violate the U.S. Constitution. If the attorney general doesn’t oppose them, then the state legislature could do so through a majority vote. The bill was approved last week through an 80-14 vote in the Republican-led state House. Republican Senate Majority Floor Leader Kim David has not publicly said whether she supports the measure, according to KOCO....

Oklahoma Sports Announcer Heard Using Racial Slurs After Team Kneels During National Anthem

Video of the pregame anthem began circulating on Twitter Friday morning after the Norman High School and Midwest City High School girls’ teams competed. During the first minute of the nearly 90-second-long video, the announcer can be heard making racist remarks about the students in reference to their decision to kneel on the court, a gesture widely seen as a silent protest against racism and police brutality. Local media outlets began reporting about the incident on Friday, and school officials confirmed the announcer’s behavior in a series of statements issued throughout the day....

Olanzapine Antipsychotic Medication Used In Dementia

Olanzapine belongs to a category of medications called psychotropics—drugs that affect the mind. Antipsychotic medicines are psychotropic medications that treat the symptoms of schizophrenia such as hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions. What Are Atypical Antipsychotic Medications? Atypical antipsychotic drugs are so-called to differentiate between these newer antipsychotics and other conventional antipsychotics, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine, Ormazine) and haloperidol (Haldol). Atypical antipsychotic medications were first introduced in the 1980s. Zyprexa was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1996....

Old China Hands New China Woes

To date, the Clinton administration’s China policy had been one of “comprehensive engagement”–but the reality was as muddy as the term. The policy seemed to have been sold into franchises: many different players pursuing competing agendas, with little coordination from above. Commerce Secretary Ron Brown would be striking business deals in China–just when Trade Representative Mickey Kantor was bashing Beijing over intellectual-property issues. Not surprisingly, China got mixed signals, and the absence of predictability bred a lack of trust....

Say thank you to Calle Jarnkrok. What you see happened Saturday in Los Angeles, where Jarnkrok’s Nashville Predators faced the Kings. Those flying locks remind fans of the time before the Preds were a glint in Gary Bettman’s eyes. If not, of course, of the Hanson brothers. Another oddity Saturday: Kings goalie Jonathan Quick allowed three goals on nine shots and got the hook from coach Darryl Sutter. In less than 10 minutes of play, no less....

In persuading themselves to go through week after week of gruelling training before trading blows, with all the grave danger that entails inside the prize ring, fighters become masters of self-deception. Of course, they can land these shots, avoid those others and beat that bitter rival. Rematches serve to undermine this part of the boxer’s armoury. By the time they face an opponent for a second or third time, they know and have experienced too much....
