Unrivaled, the new 3-on-3 women's basketball league launching this winter, signed LSU star guard Flau'jae Johnson to a name, image and likeness deal. Johnson is the second college player to ink an agreement with Unrivaled, following UConn's Paige Bueckers. They won't be participating in the upcoming inaugural season, but Johnson and Bueckers will have equity stakes in the league. Unrivaled dropped a video on social media Thursday showing Johnson -- who also has a burgeoning rap career -- performing a song while wearing a shirt that reads, "The Future is Unrivaled." The deal will see Johnson create additional promotional content for the league. Johnson, 21, was a freshman on the LSU team that won the 2023 national championship. Now in her junior year, Johnson is averaging career highs of 22.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game through 10 games for the No. 5 Tigers (10-0). She ranks eighth in Division I in scoring. Johnson has career averages of 14.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in 82 career appearances (80 starts) for LSU. --Field Level MediaAs a gamer, the value of rewards and gifts cannot be underestimated.

Alexander Mashinsky, 58, of Manhattan, entered the plea in New York federal court to commodities and securities fraud.My siblings and I received a call from our mother's caregiver in 2019. It was time to come home and say goodbye. She was losing her grueling battle with ALS, also known as . I flew from Seattle to of Virginia Beach to be with my mother as she passed peacefully. In the days following, we boxed up her rental home. Eager to experience normalcy, I returned to work shortly after. I thanked my coworkers for covering my workload and tried to resume my responsibilities as a . New customers don't sell themselves. Before I could open the handwritten cards on my desk, the warmest of homecomings came from : a standing ovation that put me in tears. Attempting to make me feel comfortable with this new grief became a goal of the collective. But I still had hundreds of to-dos and messages to handle that reminded me of why I was absent in the first place. Removing my message wouldn't remove how mentally out of office I felt. My coworkers never shied away from grief Individuals who had at work and were willing to share their stories became my allies in the grief. Like a familiar deal, we understood the intricacies. Business is certainly not a one-man show, and the grieving process wouldn't be either. It took a cross-functional collaboration. My coworkers committed to checking in, which alleviated my need to seek out conversation. Reading messages like, "I know we'll connect more when the time's right, but I'm so glad you are back. Thinking of you at this time," helped. I felt valued and seen without needing to say anything. Coworkers also reassured me I wasn't alone by sharing their own . By proactively telling me their stories, they lessened the need for me to share, which could trigger unwelcomed sadness — typically in the form of a puffy red face and watery eyeballs. Every day, I knew individuals next to me were carrying the same weight. I worried the grief would affect my output I was terrified this mental out-of-office would take over my ability to perform, ultimately jeopardizing . I was scared my job would feel like another funeral. I thought my grief would make me lose productivity and lack a sense of purpose. I also wondered if I spent too much time thinking and talking about my mother, I wouldn't be able to reach my . But because my coworkers were so urgent in showing up for me, my sense of purpose and productivity didn't suffer. The proof is in the pudding. I capped that first year of grieving by being the highest performer on my team. It turns out grieving is a team sport. Amid grief, I learned I had a support system at work. Having co-workers who are open to helping you experience grief rather than hiding it makes not only a more but also a stronger team.

The Bucs announced two roster moves today ahead of their Week 12 game against the New York Giants. Cornerback Jamel Dean has been activated off injured reserve and the team released linebacker Antonio Grier Jr. Tampa Bay also elevated linebacker Vi Jones from the practice squad for the third straight week. The more impactful of the two moves is the activation of Dean from injured reserve. He has missed Tampa Bay’s last four games after leaving early in their Week 6 matchup against the Saints. In his stead the Bucs have used a combination of rookie Tyrek Funderburk and second-year cornerback Josh Hayes. The two have struggled mightily in that time, combining to allow 25 catches on 32 targets for 320 yards and four touchdowns across 211 coverage snaps. That’s a 78% completion rate allowed and 1.52 yards per route run. The team also elevated linebacker Vi Jones from the practice squad. This is Jones’ third and final elevation. If the team wants him to play on Sunday after tomorrow, they will have to promote him to the active roster. Head coach Todd Bowles has previously spoken about Jones being the best-suited linebacker on the team to take over the role SirVocea Dennis played earlier in the year as a late and long coverage backer. To date the athletic practice squad linebacker has only played three snaps, in Week 9 against Kansas City, on defense. Bucs Update Injury Report The team also updated their injury report, officially ruling out defensive back Tykee Smith due to a knee injury and downgrading All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs to doubtful as he works his way back from a sprained knee. Swing tackle Justin Skule is set to play in Wirfs’ place. Skule has played in parts of six games this year and after a poor initial showing Week 2 against Aidan Hutchinson and the Detroit Lions he settled in filling in for right tackle Luke Goedeke while he was dealing with a concussion. Skule will have his hands full against the Giants as they have three good edge rushers in Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibideaux, who is coming off injured reserve, and Azeez Ojulari. The Bucs have several options to fill in for Smith as the Bucs’ slot corner. Christian Izien has acted as a jack-of-all-trades fill-in this year. He took over when Smith missed week eight and week 10 and for safety Antoine Winfield Jr. Weeks 2-5. The team could also look to cornerback Troy Hill, who they signed after he was released by the Panthers earlier this year. Tavierre Thomas also has experience in the slot.

Title: Tianjin "Free Education Assistance Program" Rumor Officially Debunked, Caution UrgedQ: This past spring, we tried starting some of our own plants from seed indoors, but they got tall, spindly and weak by the time we wanted to plant them outdoors. What did we do wrong? — Tyler P. A: Seedlings growing tall and spindly indoors is an age-old problem, and the same wisdom holds true now that it did years ago. The problem occurs if plants are started too early and the light level isn’t intense enough. ADVERTISEMENT Because plants grow at different rates, some types need to be started very early, while others should wait until April for seeding indoors. Begonias and onions require many weeks to grow and can be seeded in February. March 1 is the recommended date for seeding petunias, impatiens, coleus and snapdragons. March 15 is the date to seed peppers, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. Tomatoes and marigolds should wait until April 1, and zinnias until April 15. If seeds are started earlier than their recommended date, plants can languish indoors, becoming lanky and weak. In addition, seedlings need high light levels to remain stocky and strong. Plants grown with too little light often stretch and become weak-stemmed. Seedlings can be grown in a sunny window, but many windows don’t receive full, all-day sunshine as the sun moves across the sky, unless the windows are very wide. The short days of winter and early spring also keep light levels lower than seedlings prefer. A perfect way to provide seedlings with optimal light is with artificial lights, which can be standard LEDs, fluorescent, or special plant-type lights. Tube-type bulbs distribute light over seedling trays better than round bulbs. Seedling trays should be kept within several inches of the bulbs. Lights can be set on a timer with 16 hours on and eight hours off, similar to humans getting the recommended eight hours of sleep, which is how I remember it. Q: Thanks for the recent article on Blue By You salvia. Do you know where we can purchase this perennial come spring? — Rachelle S. A: Blue By You perennial salvia, an All-America Selections award winner and an outstanding feature in our perennial beds and landscapes, has been on the market for about two years, which is relatively recent as new plants go. ADVERTISEMENT As with many new cultivars, it takes time for new plant material to be widely available. Your best bet is to contact locally owned garden centers and inquire, which can be done now. This can give garden centers the opportunity to order the plants if they haven’t already. With the tens of thousands of plant cultivars available, no garden center can stock them all, but if they receive requests for specific types, they can often add them to their selection. Garden centers plan their inventory far in advance of the spring season, so the earlier a request is made, the more likely it can be fulfilled. Q: I know you prefer starting cuttings, such as houseplants, in mixtures of vermiculite, sand or potting mix instead of water. I’m curious why that is. Sometimes I have luck in water, but sometimes the cuttings rot. — Jenny S. A: Some plant types, such as pothos, root very easily in water and can even grow in water for many weeks. Other cutting types rot easily in water, which is why a solid-type medium often works best for coaxing cuttings to root. Sometimes I use high-quality potting mix, other times vermiculite, perlite or sand, and sometimes mixtures. Besides being less prone to rotting, starting cuttings in a solid-type medium has another important advantage. Roots that form in water are accustomed to growing in water, and when the cuttings are transferred into potting mix, there can be a stressful period of adjustment and shock. When roots begin forming in solid media, they are often more fibrous, well-branched and less gangly. Because they’re accustomed to growing in a solid medium, there’s usually less transplant shock when transferred into potting mix. For easy-to-root plants, rooting in water is handy, but solid media has distinct advantages.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are drifting around their records on Tuesday as Wall Street's white-hot rally lets off the accelerator. The S&P 500 was virtually flat in afternoon trading, a day after rising tech stocks helped it set an this year.

Tesla s sank 2.1% after a judge in Delaware reaffirmed a previous ruling that the electric car maker must The judge denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady after a report showed U.S. at the end of October than a month earlier. Continued strength there would raise optimism that the economy could keep avoiding a recession that many investors had earlier thought was inevitable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.22 from 4.20% from late Monday. Yields have seesawed since Election Day amid worries that Trump's preferences for and could spur along with economic growth. But traders are still confident the will at its next meeting in two weeks. They’re betting on a nearly three-in-four chance of that, according to data from CME Group. Lower rates can help give the economy more juice, but they can also give inflation more fuel. The key report this week that could guide the Fed’s next move will arrive on Friday. It’s the , which will show how many workers U.S. employers hired and fired during November. It could be difficult to parse given how much storms and strikes distorted figures in October. Based on trading in the options market, Friday's jobs report appears to be the biggest potential market mover until the Fed announces its next decision on interest rates Dec. 18, according to strategists at Barclays Capital. Since his victory, Trump has broadcasted his , including for goods . Trade relations between the U.S. and China took another step backward after China said it is banning exports to the U.S. of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications. The counterpunch came swiftly after the U.S. Commerce Department expanded the list of Chinese technology companies to include many that make equipment used to make computer chips, chipmaking tools and software.
