Fine out how to tune in to the bracket reveal and join the UWDP tourney pick'em group.

This year the women’s tournament finally has gotten the rights to be advertised as part of “March Madness”. The Degree Bracket Gap Challenge is trying to help increase gender equity across college basketball and is encouraging folks to fill out a bracket for the women’s tournament as well. It’s free to join and if you win you have the choice about whether to be insufferable about it or just accept your congratulations and move on with your life. This comes on the heels of the first Final 4 to feature all teams west of the Mississippi last year (Gonzaga, UCLA, Baylor, Houston).

Gonzaga, Arizona, Kansas and Baylor earned the four No. 1 seeds in the N.C.A.A. men's tournament.

Gillespie sat in the stands at Hinkle Fieldhouse with crutches last March as Villanova gamely tried to fight off Baylor after injuring knee ligaments late in the season. This year’s tournament also offers another moment at center stage for Collin Gillespie, Villanova’s determined point guard and a Big East player of the year in back-to-back seasons. The Ivy League, which canceled last season, will send Yale, seeded 14th in the East, against Purdue after the Bulldogs upset top-seeded Princeton in the conference championship game on Sunday. - 1 Kansas799 Creighton72 - 1 Gonzaga829 Memphis78 Others who were left just outside the field included Oklahoma, Southern Methodist, Texas A&M and Xavier. That run started haltingly enough: with Darius Maddox hitting a 3-pointer at the overtime buzzer to outlast Clemson. Some of the turbulence was surely linked to the pandemic. The Zags, who were chasing a perfect season last year, will merely be pursuing their first national championship this season when they open in the West region in Portland, Ore. There were no bands, mascots or cheerleaders, so the most audible sounds were the squeaks of sneakers on the hardwood. The most welcome return, though, will not be for blue bloods or Cinderellas, familiar coaches or rising stars. Also returning are a host of super seniors like Mitch Lightfoot, who first suited up for Kansas back in 2016.

Jason Clarke as Jerry West in 'Winning Time.' Warrick Page/HBO. A review of this week's Winning Time, “Is That All There Is?” coming up ...

As with the show’s depiction of Jerry West, it’s an unflattering portrait of a Hall of Famer, but not a particularly unfair one. Or is Magic just a guise for Earvin Johnson, who remains uncertain about his pro prospects, is already feeling the strain of people hitting him up for money, and who cannot curb his sexual appetites in the slightest. “Is That All There Is?” seems to be arguing for Earvin as the man and Magic as the myth, particularly in how he treats ex-girlfriend Cookie and her new beau, Brian, who belongs to the same church as Magic’s mother. Magic is much better able to hide it, so that only Cookie and his parents can see to varying degrees what he’s wrestling with, where the show’s version of Jerry West is an exposed nerve, raging at the world rather than enjoying the spoils of being The Logo. They should be a great player-coach tandem, but West ultimately recognizes that he’s not really suited to coach any team — one led by Magic Johnson in particular. It is the show’s style and substance working hand in hand, especially given the relish with which Massachusetts native Michael Chiklis tears into the role of Auerbach. As Red’s sycophants use racially coded language to talk about how Black players and their style of play is responsible for the league’s low TV ratings, he agrees, insisting that “decent folks” — i.e., ones whose skin tone matches his — will cream themselves over his team’s new white savior, Larry Bird(*). This week, Adam McKay yields the directorial reigns to one of his Don’t Look Up stars, Jonah Hill, who maintains the thoroughly coked-up style McKay deployed in the premiere. Jerry thinks he can charm Red with his winning disposition, while Red assumes he can hustle the financially strapped Jerry out of some overpriced contracts. Red has utter disdain for Jerry, looking at him as a rube who exists only to help maintain Red’s place at the top of the pyramid. The show tries to play the scene for both dark comedy and insightful drama, but never quite splits the difference. As often happens in a fictionalized account of a true story, embellishments are made and personality traits are exaggerated to generate conflict. Having now secured the team, Jerry Buss gets to enjoy attending the NBA’s annual owners meetings on his home turf in Beverly Hills. But being an owner and being accepted by the other owners are two different things. Among the many conflicts that Winning Time established in its series premiere was incumbent Lakers coach Jerry West’s opposition to drafting Magic Johnson with the first overall pick.

And while the issue has long been debated, a permanent time change is gaining momentum, according to the Washington Post. Sleep researchers agree the time change affects humans’ natural sleep cycle and response to light. The federal government does not currently permit states to be on year-round daylight saving time.

Jerry Buss has to figure out how he will pay for the championship roster he desperately craves. A recap of 'Is That All There Is?' episode two of HBO's ...

He expressed interest in returning to the team in 2017, but Jeanie Buss’s lack of interest crumbled his chances into a nadir. He would smoke a stogie on the bench during the end of games where the result was not in question. Back in California, Buss is having a hell of a time figuring out how he will fulfill his promise to Jerry West. Luckily, he’s also the owner of the building the Lakers play in. But unfortunately for Buss, he has no idea how instantaneous his words are as Jerry West announces that he will no longer be the Lakers’ head coach. During a family gathering to celebrate signing with the Lakers, Magic realizes that money changes everything (especially when your salary is front-page national news). When Magic gives his mom a brand-new hot tub, she trashes it because it symbolizes the end of his college education and not-very-devout Christendom — only to brag about it to everyone later. West is used to Jack Kent Cooke reverting to an industrialist mind-set once he realizes that a championship team means an expensive roster, which means less money in the coffers.

Auburn (27-5) will play Jacksonville State (21-10) Friday at 11:40 am CT on Tru TV in the first round of the 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball ...

So I would venture to say there’s probably not a team in the country that Jacksonville State would rather play than Bruce Pearl and Auburn, I’m just telling you. Jacksonville State benefitted from a weird situation and is a double-digit underdog against the Tigers. Pearl isn’t taking anything for granted after the Tigers had an early exit in their own conference tournament with an upset loss against Texas A&M in the quarterfinals. Jacksonville State is seeded 15th and will play Auburn for the first time since the Tigers beat Jacksonville State in 2013 by a 78-54 score.

“We have to call this what it is,” Volodymyr Zelensky said, late last month, a few days after Vladimir Putin had ordered the invasion and conquest of ...

Zelensky has spent his days under attack convincingly presenting himself and Ukraine to the rest of the world as standing the ground for the collective interests and future of sovereign self-determination against despotism. The war is only in its third week, and he has repeatedly signalled that he is prepared to use his nuclear arsenal, a threat so grave from a man so given to the use of annihilating force that it would be a folly to assume that he’s bluffing. Putin has no apparent exit strategy; and the worse the war has gone for him, the worse he has made it for Ukraine, raining hellfire on its civilian infrastructure, in what appears to be a determination to reduce it, as his forces previously did in parts of Chechnya and Syria, to lifeless rubble. As Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, recently tweeted, “Russia has a track record of accusing the West of the very violations that Russia itself is perpetrating.” Zelensky put it more succinctly: “If you want to know what Russia is planning, look at what Russia is accusing others of planning.” In announcing the start of the war, Putin spoke dismissively of Ukraine as a historical fiction, denying its sovereign existence, and portrayed his invasion, absurdly, as a sort of humanitarian mission to “de-Nazify” the place, to protect its people from humiliation and genocide at the hands of their own popularly elected leaders, and to bring those leaders to trial. Rather, according to the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, it is defined by the enormity of criminal intent:

The apparent request heightens tensions about the ongoing Ukraine war ahead of a meeting in Rome between top U.S. and Chinese aides.

The person was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Chinese officials have said Washington shouldn’t be able to complain about Russia’s actions because the U.S. invaded Iraq under false pretenses. But questions remain over how far Beijing will go to alienate the West and put its own economy at risk. “I’m not going to sit here publicly and brandish threats,” he told CNN in a round of Sunday news show interviews. On CNN, Sullivan said the administration believes China knew that Putin “was planning something” before the invasion of Ukraine. But he said the Chinese government “may not have understood the full extent of it because it’s very possible that Putin lied to them the same way that he lied to Europeans and others.” “We will not allow that to go forward,” he said. The request was first reported by the Financial Times and The Washington Post. Sullivan said China and all countries are on notice that they cannot “basically bail Russia out … give Russia a workaround to the sanctions,” with impunity. Sullivan told “Face the Nation” on CBS that the Russian rhetoric on chemical and biological warfare is “an indicator that, in fact, the Russians are getting ready to do it and try and pin the blame elsewhere and nobody should fall for that.” There is growing concern inside the White House that China is aligning itself with Russia on the Ukraine war in hopes it will advance Beijing’s “vision of the world order” in the long term, according to a person familiar with administration thinking. When Russia starts accusing other countries of preparing to launch biological or chemical attacks, Sullivan told NBC’s “Meet the Press,” “it’s a good tell that they may be on the cusp of doing it themselves.” In brief comments on the talks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian did not mention Ukraine, saying that the “key issue of this meeting is to implement the important consensus reached by the Chinese and U.S. heads of state in their virtual summit in November last year.”

Experts say without substantial movement in congress on the bills, the current method of switching from standard time to DST, and vice versa, will be sticking around for a while.

But while he sees America and Europe as commercial partners of necessity, in Putin he sees a true fellow traveler. But China’s supreme leader also has good reason to build a friendship with Putin. A sharp turn in Washington’s attitude toward China has convinced many in Beijing that America is determined to stunt China’s growth. While Americans treat the end of the Cold War as settled history, Xi and Putin can talk over the collapse of the Soviet Union and China’s Tiananmen Square brush with civil war in similarly bitter terms. Compare that with $756 billion with the U.S. and $828 billion with the E.U. U.S. and European companies have also served as a source of invaluable investment and have provided access to vitally important new technologies that China will need to extend its economic rise and political stability. China is left to ride out this storm— and like everyone else to hope it ends soon. Russian officials said earlier this week that China has refused to supply Russian airlines with key parts that America’s Boeing and Europe’s Airbus will no longer provide. Finally, Russia’s war in Ukraine has also shifted geopolitics to China’s disadvantage. Whether Xi likes it or not, his country’s future depends on decent relations with the West. Unlike Russia, China has benefitted mightily from relative global stability and positive commercial relations with Europe and America. On March 8, China’s President Xi Jinping held a video call with France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Olaf Scholz to talk about the war, fueling hopes that Xi will become more actively involved in brokering a deal to end the fighting. On the eve of last month’s Winter Olympic Games in China, Putin and Xi met and made a big show of their emerging “friendship,” which their joint statement claimed had “no limits.” Two weeks later, Russian invaded Ukraine. If Xi knew what Putin had in mind, what does that say about what sort of future partner he might be for Europe and the U.S.? Or what he might do in Asia? (Both Russia and Ukraine are major suppliers of wheat and other food products, and the U.N. warned that, depending on how long it lasts, the war could drive food prices between 8% and 20% higher this year.) All these commodities have become much more expensive for China and everyone else since the Russians crossed Ukraine’s borders. There’s no doubt that Russia’s war is bad for Beijing. China imports more oil than any country on Earth, and the conflict in Ukraine has pushed prices to their highest levels since 2008.

So yes, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not perfect. Yes, it gets our internal clocks off for a little bit. It even impacts our bodies, with John Shumway saying ...

So why should we keep DST? As you probably know, Pittsburgh isn’t really close to the equator. It’s not an easy choice but I think the best choice is to continue to adjust our daylight to be most in line with most people’s work and school times. DST was originally started to save energy. The farther from the equator you are (or closer to the poles) the more dramatic the swing of daylight is from the start of the year to the end of the year. This swing in daylight hours has to be allocated somewhere, and I feel strongly that the best place to allocate the time is in the morning hours. With daylight of just over nine hours, you have to make a choice of where you want the daylight at.

As Hamilton was quite clear about at the end of the test: "There is a potential within our car to get us there.

Car weight has become a big issue for teams this year, with few teams getting anywhere near the minimum weight limit.
