The game started off with both teams trading baskets, but it was Towns who quickly found his rhythm, scoring points in a variety of ways. His ability to score inside and outside the paint made him a difficult matchup for the opposing team's defense. Towns' offensive prowess was complemented by his passing skills, as he set up teammates for easy buckets with his court vision and unselfish play.
The hunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO's elusive killer yields new evidence, but few answersBy Mike Huesmann In one of the few firings I wholeheartedly agree with so far, Temple has let Stan Drayton go. I was somewhat surprised this didn’t happen after the 2023 season. Drayton was 9-25 in three seasons leading the Owls and little promise was shown. Drayton was, and still probably is, an elite RB coach but that proved to be deficient in leading Temple. Temple has had solid luck in the last two decades hiring first time head coaches who succeeded; Al Golden, Steve Addazio, Matt Rhule, and Geoff Collins. Everyone says Temple is a tough place to win at, but the success of those four tells us that maybe not as hard as we thought. However, they have also had extreme downs with Drayton and Rod Carey. They could go in a number of directions here in a profile. Two candidates who are frequently mentioned for this job have been Syracuse coordinators, OC Jeff Nixon and DC Elijah Robinson. Both would make a lot of sense, but in a recent press conference, Fran Brown said neither were interested . Coaches have lied before but I’m taking Brown at his word here and omitting them from the list, for now. Temple has fired head coach Stan Drayton 9-25 record during his tenure This is a really hard program to win at. Not sure where they should go from here but they need someone to inject life into this program pic.twitter.com/Y3PDbXnH9y Brennan Marion UNLV, Offensive Coordinator Marion has had offensive success everywhere he’s coached at. He’s been rumored to be a candidate for a few G5 openings. Since 2018 his stops have included William & Mary, Hawaii, Pittsburgh, Texas, and now UNLV. He is as innovative as they come and his team's ability to run the ball out of the Go-Go offense is assured. The injection of an identity, fire, and offense might be what Temple needs. Brennan Marion-a very compelling OC contender: Season before Marion took over as OC for UNLV (2022): -UNLV ranked 91st in yards per play at 5.1 -UNLV ranked 85th in points per game at 24 2023 (first season as OC) rankings: -UNLV ranked 35th in yards per play at 6.0 -UNLV ranked... Glenn Thomas Nebraska, QB Coach The Temple former OC and QB coach here, he has reunited with Rhule at Nebraska this year. In addition to his time with the Owls, he brings NFL experience having coached with the Steelers and Falcons as well as FBS coordinator experience with Baylor, Arizona State, and UNLV. The 47-year-old Texas native has not held a head coaching role at any level. Glenn Thomas to #Nebraska is official. He’s listed as co-offensive coordinator & QB’s coach. Welcome, Coach Thomas! #GBR pic.twitter.com/1bnh3eEDv1 Jerry Mack Jacksonville Jaguars, RB Coach As North Carolina Central, head coach Mack won three conference titles in four at the FCS level. He is a known recruiter and has coached many stellar offensive players at Memphis, South Alabama, Rice, and Tennessee before bolting for the NFL this year. He’s taken an odd career path from being a very young and successful FCS head coach to FBS and NFL assistant, but his time as an FBS head coach will come. He could be a candidate for other jobs. Jaguars running back coach Jerry Mack said that Keilan Robinson is more than just a kickoff returner "I do think he can help us as a running back." "He is tougher than you think he is too... You know he likes to get in there and get feisty." pic.twitter.com/itBcA3VCPg Brian Bohannon Kennesaw State, recently fired HC Bohannon shouldn’t have lost his job at Kennesaw. He built the program and was in year one in the FBS. If they expected anything more, it was unrealistic. Temple may be able to take advantage of that mistake. Kennesaw started their football program in 2015, and he is the only coach they’ve known until now. He literally built them into a team who has risen from nothing to the FBS. A program builder might be what Temple needs. Dude...Brian Bohannon is still here pumping up everyone of his players despite undeservingly losing his job. This is sick and awesome to see. pic.twitter.com/t1KGO5cs2u Geoff Collins North Carolina, Defensive Coordinator As mentioned before, Collins was a solid head coach here. Why not try and repeat that if he’s interested? He struggled after Temple when he was at Georgia Tech, but that’s also a tough place to win. He is in his first year as DC for the Tar Heels and Mack Brown. Prior to taking over as head coach, after Rhule left, he was an SEC DC at Mississippi State and Florida (though he was not with Dan Mullen). If I was Temple and could get assurances that he wouldn't bolt again, I’d consider this. #UNC leads the ACC and ranks fourth nationally in sacks, prompting new do-it-yourself fashion from Geoff Collins that salutes Beau Atkinson — or ‘Sack-tkinson.’ Story with more on Atkinson’s explosion and the Tar Heels manufacturing pressures in bulk: https://t.co/WxOsC1BzSA pic.twitter.com/DLWMpGojNA
SANTA CLARA, Calif. , Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.516 billion , $66 .0 million above the mid-point of the Company's guidance provided on August 29, 2024 . GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $(676.3) million, or $(0.78) per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $373 .0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the third quarter was $536.3 million . "Marvell's fiscal third quarter 2025 revenue grew 19% sequentially, well above the mid-point of our guidance, driven by strong demand from AI. For the fourth quarter, we are forecasting another 19% sequential revenue growth at the midpoint of guidance, while year-over-year, we expect revenue growth to accelerate significantly to 26%, marking the beginning of a new era of growth for Marvell," said Matt Murphy , Marvell's Chairman and CEO. "The exceptional performance in the third quarter, and our strong forecast for the fourth quarter, are primarily driven by our custom AI silicon programs, which are now in volume production, further augmented by robust ongoing demand from cloud customers for our market-leading interconnect products. We look forward to a strong finish to this fiscal year and expect substantial momentum to continue in fiscal 2026." Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2025 Financial Outlook GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using basic weighted-average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

A replay of the call can be accessed by dialing 1-888-660-6345 or 1-646-517-4150, passcode 47973# until Tuesday, December 10, 2024 . Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring and other related charges (including, but not limited to, asset impairment charges, recognition of future contractual obligations, employee severance costs, and facilities related charges), resolution of legal matters, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core business. Although Marvell excludes the amortization of all acquired intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase price accounting arising from acquisitions, and that such amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Marvell's revenues earned during the periods presented and are expected to contribute to Marvell's future period revenues as well. Marvell uses a non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This non-GAAP tax rate is based on Marvell's estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from Marvell's non-GAAP income, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency, and excludes tax deductions and benefits from acquired tax loss and credit carryforwards and changes in valuation allowance on acquired deferred tax assets. Marvell's non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate such as tax law changes; acquisitions; significant changes in Marvell's geographic mix of revenue and expenses; or changes to Marvell's corporate structure. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a non-GAAP tax rate of 7.0% has been applied to the non-GAAP financial results. Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. Externally, management believes that investors may find Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Marvell's operating performance and the valuation of Marvell. Internally, Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas: Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Marvell's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Marvell's results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

This release was published on openPR.Ghana's former president John Drahami Mahama won a historic comeback election victory on Sunday after the ruling party accepted defeat with voters appearing to punish them for the government's handling of an economic crisis. Following Saturday's election, New Patriotic Party candidate Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia on Sunday conceded Ghanaians wanted change after he failed to shake off widespread frustration over high costs of living. His defeat ended eight years in power for the NPP under President Nana Akufo-Addo, whose last term was marked by the west African state's worst economic turmoil in years, high inflation and a debt default. For opposition National Democratic Congress party's Mahama, president from 2012-2017, it was his third attempt to reclaim the top post after falling short in 2016 and 2020 elections. "Former president Mahama has won the presidential election decisively," Bawumia told a press conference. Mahama's NDC also won the parliament elections, Bawumia said, referring to the NPP's own internal collation of election results. "The people of Ghana have spoken, the people have voted for change at this time and we respect it with all humility," he said. The speedy concession came as official vote tallies were still arriving. Electoral authorities have yet to announce the results for the presidential and parliament ballots. Blaring horns and whistles and waving the party's green, white and red flags, Mahama supporters took the streets to celebrate outside the party campaign office in the capital Accra. "They said he can't come back, and he has come. The nation builder is back to build our Ghana for us," said trader and Mahama supporter Leyla Alhassan enjoying the celebrations. Mahama has yet to speak publicly. But on his X account, Mahama confirmed he received Bawumia's congratulatory call over his "emphatic victory". The US embassy in Accra also applauded a "successful election that reflects the will of the Ghanaian people." "The United States looks forward to continuing our strong partnerships under" Mahama, it said on X. Ghana's economic woes dominated the election, after the continent's top gold producer and world's second cacao exporter went through a crisis of default and currency devaluation, ending with a $3 billion IMF bailout. Earlier, NDC spokesman Sammy Gyamfi told reporters the party's internal review of results showed Mahama won 56.3 percent of the vote against 41.3 percent for Bawumia. Political parties had agents at polling stations to observe and tally the initial vote counts before the ballots were sent for official collation by the election commission. The commission had said official results were likely due by Tuesday. With a history of democratic stability, Ghana's two main parties, the NPP and NDC, have alternated in power equally since the return to multi-party politics in 1992. Under the slogan "Break the 8" -- a reference to two terms in power -- Bawumia had sought to lead the NPP to an unprecedented third term. But he struggled to break away from criticism of Akufo-Addo's economic record. Though inflation slowed from more than 50 percent to around 23 percent, and other macro-economic indicators are stabilising, economic struggles were still a clear election issue for many. That frustration opened the way for a comeback from Mahama, who came to the presidency in 2012 when he was serving as vice president and then President John Atta Mills died in office. During campaigning this year, the former president also faced criticism from those who remember his government's own financial problems especially the massive power cuts that marked his time in office. bur/pma/giv/ju

Stand Up, Speak Out: Tackling Bullying Together
New Delhi, Dec 24 (IANS): Scientists at the Bose Institute, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), have studied archaea -- a domain of ancient organisms -- to find clues to survival strategies of microorganisms by adapting to harsh conditions with the help of their toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. Archaea, which means "ancient things" in Greek, are one of the oldest forms of life on Earth and belong to a group called the third domain of life. Many archaea live in some of the harshest environments on Earth, which makes them ideal for studying how life can survive in tough conditions. The team, led by Dr Abhrajyoti Ghosh at the Department of Biological Sciences, explored how certain archaea toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems help these organisms cope with high temperatures. In the study, published in the journal mBio, Ghosh and his team studied a specific TA system in a heat-loving archaeon called Sulfolobus acidocaldarius to understand how it helps these organisms. They examined S. acidocaldarius, which lives in environments with hot volcanic pools like Barren Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India and some other volcanic areas in the world, that can get as hot as 90 degrees Celsius. The detailed analysis of the VapBC4 TA system that helps survival in the high-temperature environment, shows its important role during heat stress. They found that the VapC4 toxin carries out several functions, such as stopping protein production, helping the organism form resilient cells, and influencing biofilm creation. When the cell faces heat stress, a stress-activated protease (which hasn't been identified in archaea yet) may break down the VapB4 protein (which otherwise checks the VapC4 toxin's activity). Once VapB4 is gone, the VapC4 toxin is released and can stop protein production. This block in protein production is part of a survival strategy that helps cells form "persister cells" during stress. These persister cells go into a resting state, conserving energy and avoiding making damaged proteins. This dormancy helps them survive tough conditions until the environment improves, the scientists said.American Airlines has recommenced its flights after a temporary suspension of approximately one hour on Tuesday due to a technical issue affecting the systems required for plane dispatch. The nationwide pause was lifted shortly before 13:00 GMT, as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed. This interruption occurred on one of the year’s busiest travel days, as passengers travelled on Christmas Eve. In an official statement, American Airlines attributed the problem to a “vendor technology issue” and assured that efforts were being maximised to minimise further disruptions. The airline stated, “We sincerely apologise to our customers for the inconvenience this morning. “It’s all hands on deck as our team is working diligently to get customers where they need to go as quickly as possible.” Despite ongoing delays as the airline recovers from the widespread issue, real-time tracking website Flightradar24 indicates that flights are once again departing from several major US travel hubs. Passengers took to social media to report being stranded on the tarmac or at gates during the approximately one-hour outage. In July, American Airlines, along with other major operators, grounded flights across the United States due to communication issues stemming from a global IT crash. This previous incident, which also affected banks and emergency services, was caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. Frances Ibiefo Follow us on:
