Revealing their inexperience, the Blue Devils (3-1) lost 77-72 to the Kentucky Wildcats in the Champions Classic. They bounced back with a laugher against Wofford. The Blue Devils are averaging 88.5 points per game and are allowing 58 points per game. They are shooting 47.9% from the field, including 37.2% from deep. Head coach Jon Scheyer and Duke are still meshing their pieces together. The athleticism is jarring, but they are playing at a slower pace, looking for a more methodical approach on offense rather than a razzle-dazzle blitzkrieg. The Blue Devils lost four starters from last season. In return, they welcomed in a slew of promising incoming freshman, headlined by guard Cooper Flagg. The projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft is averaging 16.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 44.2% from the field. He had a couple of costly turnovers on the national stage against Kentucky. The tilt in the desert is an opportunity for redemption. Freshman guard Kon Knueppel has lit up the court with 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting 42.9% from the field. He is Duke’s best perimeter shooter. Freshman center Khaman Maluach will clash with Arizona’s trees. He is averaging 9.5 points and 7.0 rebounds while shooting 77.3% from the field. Maluach has scored at least 10 points in three straight games. Junior guard Tyrese Proctor has posted 12.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 47.2% from the field. Duke has the clear advantage from beyond the arc. In addition to the hot hand, their defense has held the opposition to just 25.7% from deep and 28.2% from mid-range. This will be the first true road test for the new-look Blue Devils. The ZonaZoo will be in full effect.

Rafael Nadal has had a profound impact on not just his supporters, pundits and opponents but also his own people. One of them is Carlos Costa of IMG fame, who started as Nadal’s agent and eventually became his business partner. Costa has been associated with Nadal since he was 16 when he didn’t even properly make it on the ATP Tour. On social media, Costa went viral with his post for which he took a lot of effort and love to showcase it to the world. The post included a caption in which he expressed gratitude for getting to work with Nadal for 22 years in the ‘world’s best tournaments’. The picture had all of Costa’s ID cards till date, which are required to be worn by each member of a particular player’s box as well as their representatives. Those cards are arguably Costa’s most prized possessions. Costa has played a vital role in the 22-time Grand Slam champion’s material success but is more proud of Nadal, the person. Nadal’s values throughout his career have not changed, as he is someone who doesn’t like change within his setup and values loyalty. Apart from relieving uncle Toni Nadal in 2017 from his coaching duties, his core team has remained pretty much the same, and this included Costa. It is this continuity that helped Nadal to earn more than just prize money at the peak of his playing career. Costa is the man who is the key to the former World No.1 still having sponsors like Kia Motors, Nike and Babolat, who have backed him since the start. Eventually, Costa made him diversify from prize money and endorsements into businesses and other investments so much that his net worth is reportedly said to be beyond $320 million today . After his retirement, Nadal will be continuing with Costa since they co-own Hi7tory, an athlete and event management company that is responsible for growing and funding Rafa Nadal Academy branches across the world. Costa also plays a vital role in ensuring that the Rafa Nadal Foundation is taken care of. Little did Costa know that he would go on to become a successful businessperson after failing to reach his potential as a professional tennis player. When Costa tried to put Spanish tennis on the world map before Nadal A six-time ATP title winner in singles, Carlos Costa played professional tennis for 11 years. In doubles too, he has won 5 titles. His prize money earnings in his tennis career came up to $3,134,189. But his most famous win was at the Stockholm Open in 1993 when he defeated the eventual 14-time Grand Slam champion, Pete Sampras on clay. Costa won that match 7-6 (7-1), 2-6, 6-1, and was a major deal in the tennis world. The surface was an indoor carpet surface, and it suited Costa. Costa never won a Grand Slam title but nevertheless contributed a lot to Nadal winning 22 of them. While the Spanish legend might not publicly credit him often, he is the first person to admit that Costa’s influence behind the scenes worked wonders for him. Nadal and Costa’s equation shows that money is important but must never supersede relations and the game. This is something that aspiring young players must look to emulate.Starmer to visit troops serving on Russian border in push for Ukraine support
GoDaddy (NYSE:GDDY) Shares Down 0.9% – Time to Sell?A former Guam resident, from Talo’fo’fo’, is now a rising star at the U.S. Naval Academy. Jewel Amber Maigue, a senior at the U.S. Naval Academy, is now a midshipman, a rank in the U.S. Navy for those training to become naval officers. “It’s been an incredible privilege to be at the academy and to come from a small place like Guam,” Maigue said. “Being Guam’s daughter, I think that’s almost my entire personality, and if anyone asks me, really, that’s one of the inspirations that I have for being here. So it’s been an incredible privilege, and I’m thankful for all the opportunities that come with it.” When Maigue learned she had been accepted into the Naval Academy, she was shocked and overwhelmed with gratitude. “I initially got into the Naval Academy in the spring of 2021 when I was about to graduate from Guam High School, class of 2021, and initially, I was just shocked,” she said. “It’s an institution with a 7.2% acceptance rate, so the chances were very slim. I had just put my best foot forward in the application process and hoped for the best.” Once Maigue realized she was about to embark on a new chapter in her life, she developed a long-term sense of gratitude for the opportunity. “I hope that even with the slim chances of being chosen to come to the Naval Academy, it serves as an inspiration for others to pursue the same or similar paths that are less traveled,” she said. Maigue, now in a leadership position, acknowledged the honor, responsibility, and privileges that come with her rank. “As a midshipman, at the end of four years at the Naval Academy, you get a commission into the United States Navy or the United States Marine Corps. During your four years, you’re getting a college education while also living with your best friends in the same hall,” Maigue explained. “We all get a Bachelor of Science degree at the end of our time here, and you receive training throughout your entire Naval Academy career, being exposed to different communities in the Navy and different jobs in the Marine Corps. Ultimately, it builds you to prepare sailors and Marines by the time you receive that commission.” Maigue is set to graduate in May with a degree in cyber operations. She plans to lead sailors in the Navy, carrying forward her family’s legacy and values. Maigue is one of four students from Guam currently attending the academy—a fact she takes great pride in. “There are four of us at the academy: myself, (Jadrian) Juico, who is a junior right now, Jason Palomares, who is a sophomore, and Scott Aflague, who is a freshman. So, there’s four of us representing our small, little island,” she said. When asked what it feels like to be a woman in the military, Maigue emphasized that being a woman does not feel like an obstacle. “Overall, I would say it’s not an important factor,” she said. “You’re surrounded by individuals who are also accomplished and come from different walks of life. So, even though I’m a woman in the military, while it can serve as an inspiration for other females looking to pursue a similar path, it’s not something that is really seen as an obstacle nowadays. Maybe in years past, in different generations, but I wouldn’t see it as an obstacle for people trying to pursue that.” She added, “Everything is very fair here at the United States Naval Academy, and overall, they’re looking for people who are passionate, who have the intrinsic desire to serve their country, and who are looking to serve something much bigger than themselves.” Maigue’s path to the academy was influenced by her upbringing and her father’s legacy in the Navy. “My dad is an immigrant from the Philippines, and he joined the Navy to make a living for himself and his family. Growing up knowing that background, I made it a long-term goal to pursue something that he wasn’t able to do in his lifetime,” she said. Her mother also inspired her to pursue higher education. “My mom also didn’t get her college degree because she was a young mom. I’m very lucky to be close to both of them, but they weren’t able to do the things I am able to do today,” Maigue said. “It’s always been my goal to come to college, complete my degree, and have job security. I’m lucky to be able to express my gratitude for this country and the opportunities it’s given me.” Reflecting on her time at the academy, Maigue acknowledged how surreal it has been to meet prominent figures like the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations. “Being able to do internships and meeting the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations, almost like it’s the average thing on a random Tuesday. It’s a surreal feeling, but it’s definitely one I’m grateful for,” she said. Her most memorable experience, she said, was training incoming students and reflecting on her leadership development. “My fondest memory here—and I would say it’s also a takeaway—is I was able to detail the incoming class of 2027 when they were about to be freshmen,” Maigue said. “That experience was a culmination of all the leadership lessons I had picked up on and observed in others. It gave me a great opportunity to practice and understand my approach to leadership.” While she has been away from home for most of her time at the academy, Maigue remains connected to her roots. “I’ve been to Guam every Christmas since being at the academy for the past four years. Each time I go back, it’s another opportunity to realize that I’m in a good place and that I have a lot to be thankful for,” she said. “I always look forward to my mom’s cooking, especially her soups. Just being able to enjoy small things like going to Ipan Mobil or listening to the waves—it’s the little things from back home that make me appreciate my time here even more.” She also cherishes the camaraderie she shares with the other students from Guam at the academy. “I would say we’re very close. It’s me and the three boys. We text regularly, check in with each other, and make time to hang out. If there’s anyone who makes me feel like I’m back home at the academy, it’s those three boys,” Maigue said. “We bring a unique approach to friendship and familial ties here, simply because of the way we grew up on Guam.” She added that her bond with the boys has helped them share their cultural values with others at the academy. “I’ve gotten feedback from others who say things like, ‘You’re the most tactful individual I’ve ever spoken to,’ and I don’t even think about it, but I think it’s because we talk to each other like family. It’s something that helps us navigate communication with others, and it’s an advantage that comes from growing up in Guam, where family is everything.” As Maigue prepares to graduate and take on her new role, she is determined to leave a lasting legacy, both as a leader and as a representative of Guam. “I feel an incredible responsibility to educate my classmates on what it’s like to be from Guam and to share the unique social, political climate we have back home,” she said. “We are just like anyone else. It doesn’t make us different just because we’re a U.S. territory, but it’s a unique experience that I’m grateful to share with others.”
Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty give this year's Heisman Trophy ceremony a different vibe
Starmer to visit troops serving on Russian border in push for Ukraine supportIf you’re like many fans, then you’ve been impatiently waiting for the return of (Chad Duell). It’s been over two weeks since Michael caught (Cameron Mathison) and (Katelyn MacMullen) on the nanny camera sleeping together, and he’s yet to make a bold move in retaliation. Just sitting on this information is not like Michael. In the past when he felt he was wronged, he vocally lashed out at the people who betrayed him and set plans in motion to exact revenge. Heck, he stole custody of his baby sister from Sonny (Maurice Benard) and also tried to send Sonny to prison in two separate instances of retaliation, and Sonny is the father who raised him. Yet, the younger Corinthos has let Drew and Willow go unscathed. Now sure, a lot has been happening in Port Charles that he may have felt were bigger priorities. (Kelly Monaco) died and (Alexa Havins) has been fighting for her life. Plus, Michael may have been trying to keep his vengeful side in check, as he has two kids with Willow to think about. However, a number of viewers have been itching to see Michael go scorched earth on his betrayers, and he just hasn’t. Fortunately for these fans who like the kind of chaos that “Dark Michael” brings to the fold, we think Michael may soon strike back. After talking with (Sofia Mattsson) in the episode that aired on November 21, it appeared Michael finally came to the conclusion that his marriage may not be salvageable as Willow clearly has fallen for Drew, even more than she may be willing to admit. So if Michael feels he has nothing to lose, what might he do to Drew? Thinking about the answer to this question, we know Michael has to be somewhat tactful in striking back against his uncle for Scout’s (Cosette Abinante) sake. The little girl just lost her mother and is now relying heavily on Drew. So Michael may not do anything that could directly impact that father/daughter bond. That means we doubt Michael will release the sex tape of Drew and Willow (although at some point, it’s likely that footage gets out somehow). Instead, we can imagine Michael going after Aurora, taking Drew's company for himself. Right after Drew was elected as a congressman, he told Michael he planned to name him the CEO of the business. Michael brushed off the promotion news at the moment, angry he just witnessed his wife cheating with him. However, will Michael soon realize that he should accept the role so he can be in a better position to take ownership of Aurora? If so, Michael may not just stop there. While Michael probably won’t release the sex tape, he may use it to blackmail Drew into quitting politics or giving up his shares of ELQ to him. And heck, going back to the idea of Michael taking Aurora, Michael could theoretically blackmail Drew to give him the company, threatening to release the footage if he doesn't. Get the What to Watch Newsletter The latest updates, reviews and unmissable series to watch and more! All in all, the cards may be stacking up against Drew if Michael makes it his mission to retaliate for tearing his family apart. Plus, with Drew now on the wrong side of (Steve Burton), the newly-elected congressman has some big enemies who want to see him go down. Enemies that are in his own family.Pocket earth maps Pocket Earth Maps is a comprehensive offline map and travel guide app designed for seamless navigation without an internet connection.
