lol 646 SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks activated center Nico Sturm off injured reserve Monday and made room for him on the 23-man roster by assigning defenseman Jack Thompson to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda. The transactions mean that the Sharks currently have 14 forwards, six defensemen, and three goalies: Mackenzie Blackwood, Vitek Vanecek, and rookie Yaroslav Askarov. Sturm’s return to the Sharks’ active roster was believed to be imminent after he showed signs of improvement last week and practiced with the team on Sunday. He also took part in the Sharks’ morning skate on Monday, when he was officially considered a game-time decision by coach Ryan Warsofsky. The Sharks play the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night in the second game of a four-game homestand. Warsofsky did not say who his starting goalie would be. Warsofsky said he had a few players who were “nicked up” and considered game-time decisions, although it would be a surprise not to see Sturm, a mainstay as the Sharks’ fourth-line center, play against the Kings. Sturm, injured in the Sharks’ game earlier this month against the New York Rangers, is the Sharks’ faceoff leader by percentage and is one of the team’s leading penalty-killing forwards. Thompson has been on the Sharks’ roster for almost the entire season and played in 13 of the team’s 23 games. His five points are third-most among all Sharks defensemen, as he’s averaged just under 16 minutes of ice time per game. The Sharks have had three goalies on their roster since Nov. 18, when they recalled Askarov from the Barracuda. At the time, Vanecek was considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, but Vanecek backed up Blackwood on Saturday in the Sharks’ 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Askarov made his Sharks debut on Thursday, making 29 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the St. Louis Blues. It’s unclear how long the Sharks plan to keep three goalies on their active roster. Both Blackwood and Vanecek are pending unrestricted free agents, and speculation is that one could be dealt to another team before the NHL trade deadline on March 7. Kevin Weekes of ESPN and the NHL Network posted on the social media platform X on Monday that the Carolina Hurricanes “are exploring potential goalie options in the market.” Frederik Andersen is out eight to 12 weeks after knee surgery, and Pyotr Kochetkov left Saturday’s game at Columbus after colliding with defenseman Sean Walker. Kochetkov is now in concussion protocol.

(ESPN via AP) Lisa Simpson once said during an episode of “The Simpsons:” What could be more exciting than the savage ballet that is pro football? On Monday night, the entire Simpsons universe gets to experience it in a way not many could have imagined. The prime-time matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys will also take place at Springfield’s Atoms Stadium as part of “The Simpsons Funday Football” alternate broadcast. The altcast will be streamed on ESPN+, Disney+, and NFL+ (on mobile devices). ESPN and ABC have the main broadcast, while ESPN2 will carry the final “ManningCast” of the regular season. The replay will be available on Disney+ for 30 days. Globally, more than 145 countries will have access to either live or on replay. “We’re such huge football fans, and the Simpsons audience and the football audience, I feel, are like the same audience of just American families and football. And the Simpsons are so much a part of the DNA of the American family and culture that for us to, like, mush them together in this crazy video game, it’s so fun,” said Matt Selman, executive producer of “The Simpsons.” While the game is the focal point, the alternate broadcast, in some ways, will resemble a three-hour episode of “The Simpsons.” It starts with Homer eating too many hot dogs and having a dream while watching football. Homer joins the Cowboys in the dream while Bart teams up with the Bengals. Lisa and Marge will be sideline reporters. “That’s the beginning of the story, and the story continues through the entire game until Homer wakes up from his dream at the end of the game. It is like a complete story, and the NFL game will happen in between. It’s just going to be an amazing presentation with tons of surprises,” said Michael “Spike” Szykowny, ESPN’s VP of edit and animation. This is the second year ESPN has done an alternate broadcast for an NFL game. It used the characters from “Toy Story” for last year’s Sunday morning game from London between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars. “The Simpsons” has featured many sports-themed episodes during its 35 seasons. Even though “Homer at the Bat” remains the consensus favorite sports episode for many Simpsons fans, there have been football ones such as “Bart Star” and “Lisa The Greek.” There also was a Super Bowl-themed one after Fox’s broadcast of Super Bowl 33 between Denver and Atlanta in 1999. Even though “The Simpsons” remains a staple on Fox’s prime-time schedule, it is part of the Disney family after their acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019. All 35 seasons are on Disney+. The show’s creators have worked with ESPN and the NFL to make sure the look and sound is definitely Simpsonsesque. The theme song is a mash-up of “The Simpsons” opening and “Monday Night Football’s” iconic “Heavy Action.” There have also been pre-recorded skits and bits to use during the broadcast featuring Simpson’s legendary voices Hank Azaria, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, and Yeardley Smith. The telecast will be entirely animated, with the players’ movements in sync with what is happening in real-time on the field. That is done through player-tracking data enabled by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats system and Sony’s Beyond Sports Technology. While Next Gen Stats tracks where players are on the field with a tracking chip in the shoulder pads, there is skeletal data tracking and limb tracking data — which uses 29 points per player — to get closer to the player’s movements. The other data tracking will allow Beyond Sports and Disney to add special characters to the game. For example, there might be a play where Lisa catches the ball and goes 30 yards instead of Cincinnati’s Tee Higgins. “Lisa is much smaller than the rest of the players. So, in real life, the ball would go over her head, but now, with data processing, we can take the ball and make it go exactly into her hands. So for the viewer, it still looks believable, and it all makes sense,” said Beyond Sports co-founder Nicolaas Westerhof. The other major challenge is making “The Simpsons” two-dimensional cartoon characters into 3-D simulations. Szykowny and his team worked to make that a reality over the past couple of months. “That’s a big leap of faith for them to say, hey, we trust you to make our characters 3-D and work with it. Our ESPN creative studio team has done a wonderful job,” Szykowny said. Lisa, Krusty, Nelson, Milhouse and Ralph will be with Bart and the Bengals; while Carl, Barney, Lenny and Moe join up with with Homer and the Cowboys. The broadcast will also feature ESPN personalities Stephen A. Smith, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. ESPN’s Drew Carter, Mina Kimes and Dan Orlovsky will call the game from Bristol, Connecticut, and also be animated. They will wear Meta Quest Pro headsets to experience the game from Springfield using VR technology. For Kimes, being part of the broadcast and being an animated Simpsons character is a dream come true. She is a massive fan of the show and has a framed photo of Lisa Simpson — who she said is a personal hero and icon — as part of her backdrop when she makes appearances on ESPN NFL shows from her home in Los Angeles. “I didn’t have any input, and I didn’t see anything beforehand, so I wasn’t sure if it would look like me, but it kind of does, which is very funny,” said Kimes, who drew Simpsons characters when she was a kid. “To see the actual staff turn me into one was a dream.” Even though the Bengals (4-8) and Cowboys (5-7) have struggled this season, Selman thinks both teams have personalities that appeal to “The Simpsons” universe. “We were just so lucky also that the Cowboys are sort of like a Homer Simpson-type team, American team, and Mike McCarthy might be a Homer-type guy, one might imagine,” he said. ”And then you have Joe Burrow on the other side who is a cool young, spiky-haired, blonde bad boy -- he’s like Bart. And that fits our character archetypes so perfectly. “If Homer is mad at Bart and has a hot dog dream while watching ’Monday Night Football’, and then it’s basically McCarthy versus Burrow, Homer versus Bart, and that’s the simple father versus son strangling — Homer strangling Bart dynamic that has been part of the show for 35 years. I don’t know if that would have worked as well if it was like Titans versus Jacksonville. We would have found something. We would have made it work.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Joe Reedy, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake? Have a story/tip?

LONG BEACH – One of the perks of reaching the CIF Southern Section football championship games is that select members of the 28 finalist teams from the 14 playoff divisions meet in Long Beach for the champions luncheon, which was hosted at the Long Beach Marriott on Monday.

(Photo by Fred Robledo). The San Gabriel Valley was well represented with seven teams attending, including two that made their second straight trip to the finals luncheon, and one who’s last championship appearance was so long ago its team wore leather helmets the last time it played in a title game. That would be Pasadena, the feel-good story of this year’s group. Pasadena was 0-10 last season and stretched its losing streak to 13 straight before rallying to finish third in the Pacific League, and it did not slow down. Pasadena routed Lynwood 37-0 in Friday’s Division 13 semifinals to reach the championship game for the first time since 1947. Pasadena has won three championships, winning in 1915, which is more than a century ago. They also won in 1924 and 1933. Pasadena (7-6) will host Gahr (7-5) in Saturday’s championship game at 7 p.m. “I think it’s going to be good for the community,” Pasadena coach Ron Jones said of finally making it back to the finals. “It’s surreal that we’re here after all the adversity we went through at the beginning of the season. We never thought we would be in this building.” Bulldogs wide receiver Christopher Solis-Lumar transferred from Glendora, and was added to the team midway through the season following the sit-out period. “It’s a great experience, kind of a bittersweet moment,” Solis-Lumar said. “It took us a while to get here and not a lof of people thought we would get here, and for us to bring it back for the first time since 1947, it’s going to be something.” LA SERNA, RIO HONDO PREP LOOKING TO REPEAT La Serna and Rio Hondo Prep were both at the champions luncheon last year, and both went on to win championships. They get to compete for rare consecutive titles this weekend. La Serna won the Division 4 title and CIF State Division 2-AA championship last season. La Serna graduated several players from last year’s team, but improved over the season and defeated Summit 34-22 in the Division 5 semifinals. La Serna (10-3) will be on the road at Palos Verdes (8-5) playing for their second straight title and fifth overall. “This team was just determined to carve their place in La Serna football history,” La Serna coach Andy George said. “There wasn’t too many high expectations coming off a state championship team. But our team said you know what, we’re going to get after it.” Rio Hondo Prep certainly isn’t a surprise anymore. The small school with less than 75 boys on campus won its 15th sectional title last season beating Santa Monica for the Division 9 title, which was the first single-digit division title in the school’s history, having won most of its titles in eight-man or the old small school’s divisions. Rio Hondo Prep (10-1) is now in Division 7 and beat West Torrance 42-21 in the semifinals. The Kares have a giant task in the finals where it will take on Warren (6-7) in Friday’s championship at Arcadia high school. Warren lost in the Division 3 championship last year, and traditionaly competes in the top divisions. “If you would have told me a year ago we would be playing Warren in a CIF championship game, I would have said you’re crazy,” Rio Hondo Prep coach Mark Carson said. “It’s a great opportunity is how we’re looking at it. If we played them 10 times, they would probably win nine of them. We’re hoping to catch that one.” GLENDORA IN FIRST TITLE GAME SINCE 1989 Glendora has been the comeback team of the playoffs, overcoming big deficits in the quarterfinals and semifials to advance to the Division 6 championship, where the Tartans will be looking for their second sectional title and first since sharing the championship in 1989 with Ramona, a game that ended in a 28-28 tie for the Division 2-A crown. Glendora (9-4), who overcame a 21-3 deficit in the second half to beat Dana Hills 25-21 in the semifinals, will take on Murrietta Mesa (9-4) in Saturday’s Division 6 title game at Citrus College. Glendora offensive lineman Marko Luera talked about how determine the Tartans are to finish it off. “This team is special man,” Luera said. “I love every kid on this team, it’s a team thing. We’re going for it. We keep fighting. We don’t think the game’s over.” EL RANCHO IN FIRST TITLE GAME SINCE 1988 El Rancho (9-4) which has had to play home games at nearby school’s because its stadium is under reconstruction, has not let it distract them, advancing to Friday’s Division 11 championship, where it will be on the road against Irvine Portola (7-6). El Rancho is playing for the school’s fourth championship and first since 1968. The Dons last played in the 1988 finals and lost to Los Altos. El Rancho shared the title with St. Paul in 1968, and when they won it 1966, they were declared mythical national champions. The Dons also won in 1960. “This is remarkable,” El Rancho coach Adrian Medrano said. “Our program is trending in the right direction for a long time. We had a tough 2-8 season last year and a lot of those guys were part of that team and have been productive all year.” SAN GABRIEL, PIONEER IN ALL-AREA FINAL There is one championship that will produce an champion for the area. San Gabriel, which won the Division 13 title in 2022, is back in the finals for the second time in three years. San Gabriel (7-6) will be at Pioneer (8-5) in Saturday’s Division 14 championship game. “It’s amazing, all the freshman that were part of it (championship) the first time and I’m a junior now,” San Gabiel running back/linebacker Louie Navarro said. “I’m still young but now I’m playing a bigger role and it feels amazing. Pioneer is in the championship game for the first time ever. “It means a lot for it to be the first appearance in the whole school history,” Pioneer quarterback Amari Resendiz said of reaching the title game. “We’re going to see the whole community at the game and it’s going to be big.” CIF-SS FINALS SCHEDULE FRIDAY’S GAMES La Serna at Palos Verdes, 7 p.m. DIVISION 7 Warren vs. Rio Hondo Prep at Arcadia HS, 7 p.m. DIVISION 11 El Rancho at Portola, 7 p.m. SATURDAY’S GAMES DIVISION 6 Murrieta Mesa vs. Glendora at Citrus College, 7 p.m. DIVISION 13 Gahr at Pasadena, 7 p.m. DIVISION 14 San Gabriel at Pioneer, 7 p.m.

"Despite impressiveKnives” is slang for surgeons, so I’m referring to a meeting, conference, or congress of surgeons. I recently attended an Asian congress in cardiothoracic surgery—surgery of the heart and lungs—in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in central China. Wuhan, the political and manufacturing hub of China, is home to over 11 million people and is China’s seventh most-populous city. Historically, Wuhan was the headquarters of the Wuchang uprising which ended China’s last imperial dynasty in 1911. It was thrust into international consciousness when a citywide lockdown was imposed in January 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wuhan has been hosting international meetings to make the city more open and inclusive, and to send out signals of its international competitiveness with a resilient economy. When I visited the 1,000-bed Huoshenshan (meaning Fire God Mountain) hospital, built in a record 10 days by 7,000 workers during the early days of the pandemic, I was told that it had been converted into a nursing facility. This temporary hospital closed on April 15, 2020, after a little over two months in operation as community transmission had stopped in China. I also learned that the seafood market where the pandemic supposedly started was permanently closed. Medicine in China has progressed from the era of barefoot doctors in rural Chinese villages in the 1970s, to surgical feats like the world’s first transplant of a genetically altered pig liver into a human, and the world’s first double-lung transplant for end-stage lung disease brought about by COVID-19. China has two of the world’s largest lung transplant programs, one in Wuxi People’s Hospital in Jiangsu province, and another in the 155-year-old Second Affiliated Hospital of the Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou. While China is catching up with the West, this progress has been shadowed by controversy. The elephant in the room is, of course, the use of organs from executed prisoners, which made China a pariah in the international transplant community. Scientific articles were denied publication in peer-reviewed medical journals, and Chinese transplant doctors had difficulty presenting their work in international medical conferences. To address this, Chinese authorities came up with the Hangzhou Resolution of October 2013, which resolved to end “donation by execution” and promote ethical and internationally recognized practices of organ donation and transplantation. The resolution also called for transparency in organ donation through a computerized waitlist of potential transplant recipients regardless of gender, social status, and religious beliefs. Furthermore, it rejects foreign patients seeking to undergo transplantation in China. During the last 40 years, China was able to lift 800 million people out of poverty, with health care and medical services also improving in its wake. In big urban hospitals and universities, small armies of Ph.D.s work in narrow fields of basic medical sciences, including research in cancer biology and genetics. This leads us to the question: Why has China not produced another Nobel Prize laureate in medicine or physiology? (China has only one in this category). That is another matter altogether. Back to why surgeons are called “knives,” a reference to the scalpel, one of the earliest surgical instruments that evolved from flint or volcanic glass cutting implements during the Stone Age, to its present modern version of tempered steel. “He who wishes to be a surgeon should go to war,” wrote the Greek physician Hippocrates in the 4th century BC. During the Middle Ages in Europe, barber surgeons accompanied soldiers into battle and took care of the injured. The barber’s pole, with a helix of red and white, and sometimes blue, dates back to the Middle Ages: red representing blood, and white symbolizing the bandages used to staunch bleeding. Wars taught early surgeons surgical techniques like amputations and wound closure. With the invention of gunpowder in China, surgeons learned a whole new way of dealing with traumatic gunshot injuries. In fact, the modern ambulance was an innovation of a surgeon in Napoleon’s army: the so-called “flying ambulances” to rapidly transport injured soldiers for treatment, thereby improving the organization of field hospitals, the forerunner of the modern mobile army hospital units. Surgeons are descendants of guilds, or medieval association of craftsmen or barber-surgeons and merchants in the pursuit of a common goal. They met and compared notes, a practice carried into the modern era. Congresses of transplant surgeons, heart surgeons, abdominal surgeons—these serve as formal and informal exchanges of knowledge, advances, and tips in the profession, the present simply repeating the past. —————- Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.

Father of missing Hawaii woman found dead in Los Angeles as search for her continues

The UCLA women’s basketball team is ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press women’s basketball poll for the first time in program history. The Bruins beat defending national champion South Carolina , the previous top team in the polls, on Sunday afternoon to rise from the No. 5 spot. The Gamecocks are now No. 4. UCLA is out to a 5-0 start this season and took down South Carolina 77-62 in a sold-out Pauley Pavilion. The accomplishment marked the first time in program history that the Bruins beat a No. 1 team. It’s the first time South Carolina lost a game in 602 days after a 43-game winning streak and it was the largest loss for South Carolina since March 2019 (15 points). “This means a lot because of the respect we have (for South Carolina),” UCLA head coach Cori Close said after the game. “That being said, we expected to win.” Related Articles Bruins center Lauren Betts made the Big Ten Basketball Weekly Honor Roll after recording a double-double of 11 points and 14 rebounds in Sunday’s game.
