He did not sign for big money relative to the rest of the wide receiver market and he's older So I could understand thinking that this does not matter at all In fact, the market agrees with you because uh before this signing the titans or a little before this titans There went till the seven and a half and the over was minus 105 It's still seven and a half, but the over is now minus one or two So things have actually gotten more pessimistic about them in the market than where they were earlier on That is part because the colts went up. Uh, their wind total the the odds and that did, uh Get a bit better towards the over so that's part of it But I do think it's intriguing that hopkins did not move the needle at all with the market But he did play really well last year when kyler murray murray was healthy If you look at kyler murray's passing net expected points numbers, which is number fire's epa metric When he was targeting hopkins versus other teammates, there was a massive massive gap murray targeting hopkins Average 0.55 net expected points per drop back, uh or per attempt when going to hopkins He was at 0.14 when targeting anybody else So a full 0.4 points per attempt difference between hopkins and the rest Part of that's because there were a lot of really rough receiving options in arizona last year. They had injuries A bunch of different times. Uh, marquis brown is still out of time They were cycling through a lot of guides throughout that year But even 0.55 for hopkins across 38 targets, which is a small sample is a very good number. So kyler murray was better at throwing to hopkins than to others and now we take that and apply it over to the Tennessee titans, I think the hopkins is a bit underrated I think the same thing about ryan tanahill honestly The titans were an above average passing offense on early downs when tanahill was healthy last year by a pretty decent margin And that was with robert woods trail on berks nick westbrook akina as the top targets on that team Now they have berks a second year into this offense. Hopefully healthy the full full year this time around Chicka quack a conco looked pretty good last year too seemed like a pretty legitimate player to gain for that offense now They add in hopkins as well. It's not a great receiving core In fact, it's still below average, but it is better than what it was last year We're gonna get the titans were above average on early downs throwing the football So I think tennessee is somewhat interesting The potential for them to bottom out is definitely within the range of outcomes because darry kenry is old tanahill They drafted a quarterback in the second round to try to replace him did did it third round last year to try to replace him too So there is definitely a fallout potential here That's why I have the win total at 7.7 wins personally Based on my model trying to account for the fact that there is a wide range of outcomes But again, the market has the 7.5 with minus 102 on the over So I feel like this number should have moved the other way I think that the over should be closer to minus 120 or so Somewhere in that range because of the division because of different factors I feel like tanahill May be able to play well enough to fend off leavenson if he does that should boost expectations for this team I'm not going to bet the titans to win this division because they've got the jags in that division the jags are a team I do like what a bit But I wouldn't be shocked if I see value on the titans pretty early on This year now that does not mean week one because they're facing the saints in week one on the road and my model Pretty high in the saints as well. So they're three point dogs in the road. I'm not going to take that one but Once we get into week two stuff like that I would not be surprised at all if I were to show value on the titans given that I think they might be a bit underrated by the market right now I think that hopkins does make a bigger difference than what the market is saying he makes as of right now The only other bit of news right now is that the jets traded densel mims to the lions and for the jets This does not matter because mims barely played last year Was not projected to play a lot this year, especially with all the packers joining that wide receiver room So it doesn't matter for them, but I do think it's at least somewhat important for the lions because The lions are a team that's gotten a lot of buzz this year They will not have jameson williams for the first six games and dj shark Left in the offseason now. You may not care about dj shark, but I do I think shark was a good player fit that offense kind of a field stretcher because they have a modern ross st brown who's not going to stretch this field but is a very good player They needed some kind of speed element and they did add marvin jones in the offseason sam la porta at tight end, but I don't know if you want to lean on 2023 marvin jones to be the kind of speed guy in your offense I like jared golf as a football player because golf has shown to me He can be efficient in good circumstances and last year circumstances were good and they're still okay this year But they're definitely taking a step back, especially those first six games when jameson williams is out So adding a guy like mims who can at least stretch the field with nothing else is helpful I'd rather take the chance on him personally if I were the lions than taking a chance on marvin jones in that role So It does give me a bit more confidence In being high on the lions entering this year I have the lions win total of 10.4 in my model They're at 9.5 a fan dual sports book the over is minus 122 The concerns around past catching are why I have not bit on this number as of yet despite showing value there but it does slightly Make me feel better about being high in the lions knowing that They've added at least something to that wide receiver core to help compensate for the loss of dj shark It'll get better once williams is back. Uh, that will definitely help but I don't think it's it's a nothing burger that denzel mims is there It's at least an upside swing for a team that could use some upside in that wide receiver room right now versus marvin jones josh reynolds calio Shakir Cleef raiment guys like that. So I feel like it's actually An okay move for the lions have not taken over 9.5 minus 122 personally But it's at least on my radar as a a win till I could consider at some point All right, that's gonna wrap up f l for today as again not a lot of news to break down there Let's shift focus now and talk about some formula one formula one is in hungary for this weekend. It is the 2023 debut of daniel rickardo making his debut with alpha towery filling in for enictive reason He is replacing for the rest of this year looking at the grid here looking at What to do with rickardo in his first race? It's kind of taking a combination of the speedy show last year and putting in an alpha towery car And that combination is not going to get you A whole lot in terms of modeling rickardo plus 195 to finish inside the top 10 over at fandall sports book I've got him below that personally. I've got him below yuki sanota Sanota is plus 195 to finish top 10. He's been pretty good this year And that's why I have rickardo below sanota sanota's run well relative to that car this year And rickardo has not been in that car as of yet his first drive of the season So I would not be surprised long term if I do end up having rickardo Above sanota once we get a couple of races in But at least for right now, I do feel comfortable having sanota higher in my model Then I have rickardo as of right now and I actually do show value in yuki to finish inside the points, but I think that's under rating mclaren and williams a bit Both those teams showed quite a bit of speed at silver stone. So That's something that's pervasive across my entire model this week where I think It'll need a bit to catch up on the upgrades for those two teams because typically upgrades help teams But they don't dramatically change their outlook like they did with mclaren at silver stone And to a lesser extent with williams there as well so I need to see how that translates to different tracks But I do think that i'm too low on them and as a result if i'm going to bet something this week I need it to be a bigger value than I typically would Because I do think there are some errors in the model specifically being a bit too low on mclaren and potentially A bit too low on williams as well with that in mind. There are just two bets. I'm looking to lock in right now Those are george russell the podium at plus 410 Which you can find at vandal sportsbook and then pierre ghastly to finish inside the points Which you can get out to minus 120. Let's start with russell though He is plus 410 as mentioned over at vandal sportsbook the implied odds there 19.6 percent and This is a market where if the model were to be too low on mclaren It would lead to funky values looking at russell and this is a market where Um if you're looking at past results russell has not paid off this bed very much He is just one podium so far this year that was in barcelona. We did bet russell there as well So benefited from that one podium and he's been Okay, I would say especially recently especially compared to his teammate lewis hamilton Who's been I would say the much better Mercedes driver across the past Month and a half or so But russell has finished fourth two other races He was fifth and two more as well and his pace has been good and The reason I find russell kind of interesting right now is because if you look at his pace now versus what it was Before the upgrades. He hasn't gotten that big of a bump. He was actually running pretty well Before the upgrades now has had some Funkiness and what's happened to him recently. He's had some poor qualifying sessions a couple of them Failed their hq3 and two at the past four races those being the four races outside of monica where they've had the upgrades And it's possible that those poor qualifying sessions have masked the pace a bit for russell he did qualify well in montreal, but He had issues there did not finish so I think some of russell's speed post upgrades has been hidden He finished on the podium and won the poll at the hungar ring last year I think he's a good value of plus 410 even accounting for mclaren surge I think we can still get to russell for this week plus 410 to podium pretty good number He is shorter than four four to one at most books So getting into discount at vandal sportsbook as well So george russell the podium the first bet I like for formula one for this week Other one has mentioned is pierre ghastly to finish in the point It's minus 120 is the best number you can get right now vandal sportsbook has him at minus 160 I honestly do show value and ghastly at minus 160, but You can get minus 120, you know take the take the discount where you can get it ghastly has had some weird luck this year too similar to russell where You know, he's had some races where he's had things outside of his control work against him But even with bad luck ghastly is still finished inside the points in six out of 10 races, which is a 60 Percent rates the implied odds here at minus 120 or 55 percent In silverstone ghastly had good pace but got tangled up with lance stroll there fighting for the back half of the points And ghastly also seems to be over the issues he had in qualifying earlier on this year He's had better race pace than his teammate s about okon in three straight races And that's one of the guys. So he'll be battling for the points this weekend So I show value on ghastly even at some of the books that are more aggressive including fandall, but As always shop around get the best number and try to get pier ghastly for a top 10 If you can find minus 120 take it. Otherwise, I do think there is value elsewhere as well So for f1 this week, give me george russell plus 4 10 to podium and pier ghastly minus 120 to finish inside the top 10 Let's finish up here by talking about some NASCAR at pokeno It is a very strange track because it is a triangle if you've not watched pokeno before it is very fun It has massively long straightaways, which means top end speed matters quite a bit But cornering also matters too because you got to build the momentum for the straightaway And what the car is going slower nowadays than they were before You can better hold it wide open than you used to be able to so you want fast cars this week that can also Make hay in the turn So I do care about national and gateway because both those tracks although they're not fast Do involve a lot of cornering time and I think that matters Once you combine that with like just raw top end speed My model is denny hamlin as the favorite to win this week He is 13.4 to win for me, but his implied odds are 16.7 percent at five to one a fandall sports book So I can't get there and honestly no outrides. I'm willing to bet at fandall right now Closest for me is bubba wallace. He is 30 to one couple top fives of pokeno recently But even that one i've got like point two percentage points of value So not a huge value on wallace to win either. I think if I want an outright at fandall I want to wait until after practice and qualifying to try to get a better value later on The two bets that I do like for this weekend Before practice and qualifying are a couple of top tens Those are eric jones at plus 430 and rikki stenhouse jr add five to one Over at fandall sports book certain things off here with jones. He ran really well here last year qualified 34th, but He had an 11th place average running position and finished 9th So that was great had good speed in fontana and michigan last year too So the big fast tracks were great for our jones But legacy motor club has not had great speed this year and with their moved Toyota next year It makes sense that they've kind of been frozen out and would struggle for this year If you look at six races at what I would call higher speed tracks or tracks that fit inside the pokenoe bucket Jones has just one top 10 finish that came in nashville, which barely counts But again the cornering speed does help there But jones did have good speed in charlotte before an issue ended his day early there He ran decently in fontana, which is another big speed track and this team Legacy motor club has an alliance with richard chill this racing and those cars have always been best on the big fast tracks So i've got jones at 22 for a top 10 his implied odds of plus 430 are 19 I will take that and be okay betting eric jones for a top 10 this week ricky stenhouse jr. Is also 22 in my model to finish inside the top 10 His implied odds are a bit lower at 17 so he is the bigger value between these two guys So if you had to pick between the two I would go stenhouse over eric jones as the best Top 10 value for this week at vanderl's sports book and stenhouse has shown speed this year He finished seventh in charlotte. He was 12th in fontana 12th in kansas He also had a good car and gateway before he got caught up in a wreck that was not his fault got caught up in a You know kind of hissy fit between a couple of other drivers. He was kind of innocent innocent bystander So that was not his fault good speed there though before the wreck Stenhouse at pokeno has raced here 19 times. He has zero top 10s. So that's not great But his form is better now he has six top 10s this year that is tied for the second most in his entire career for a single season and His average finish this year is the best it has ever been by a pretty decent margin So I know stenhouse has never finished top 10 here But I don't want to overweigh that in my mind and we're getting a decent discount of five to one So to me stenhouse interesting enough in five to one my favorite top 10 bet for this week over at fandall sports book and one I would be willing to make with the odds where they're at right now As far as guys to monitor throughout the weekends ryan blaney tyler retic bubble walls all guys I keep an eye on I did take blaney 14 to one elsewhere. He's 10 to one at fandall. So I can't quite get there retic I would need probably about 16 to one or so To bet him wallace 32 35 somewhere in that range I would take him But those are the three guys to me. I'm closest on relative to the market I have valian ross chastain, but his form is very very weird right now So probably not getting there But for now we'll stick with jones at plus 4 30 for a top 10 in stenhouse at five to one That is all that we have here for today on covering the spread Back again tomorrow talking to pitching ninja breaking down the pitching props strikeout props across Slate and majorly baseball talk some money lines as well Find that on the covering the spread podcast feed on the fandall youtube app and over on fandall tv plus If you've got any questions for me.

By transcription, Bidwell McCormick takes you behind the scenes in Hollywood. Director Peter Godfrey wanted several hundred actors to rough things up when he was filming a scene in Hotel Berlin. So he used a modern ruse to accomplish the effect he was after. I suppose if he wanted to stampede he would just announce that there were some cigarettes for sale and he'd get some action over it. Well, Godfrey did better than that. He was trying to get several hundred actors to stampede toward a bomb shelter to give realism to the scene he was shooting. So he announced that two cartons of cigarettes were going to be given away to the first twenty persons reaching the shelter. Well, I guess he got his action, all right? Yes, and there was realism of plenty and some bruises that were not called for in the script. Diogenes can throw away his lamp. Jean Sullivan, young Warner Brothers actress, soon to be seen opposite Philip Dorn in Escape from the Desert, has found, if not an honest man, an honest woman. A little less than two years ago when Jean was eking her way through UCLA with such odd jobs as housework, minding babies and what all else, one of her clientele became a little delinquent and moved from the city before making good. Jean has a letter from the lady now of Des Moines, Iowa. Dear Jean, she wrote, I'm terribly, terribly sorry to have forgotten you when we left. I just remembered that we owed you a dollar and a half for minding the baby twice. Here is the check and I hope you'll forgive. We certainly could use you in this town. After a month of intensive effort and the use of very much imagination, Milo Anderson, famous costume designer, managed to outfit 54 corines from a scanty supply of carefully hoarded pre-war silk, satin, fur and ostrich feathers. The costumes were scantier than usual, but were officially approved for use in the time, the place and the girl, a musical show now shooting. Anderson was very proud of the fact that he had five ostrich feathers left over, a pride which lasted until six more corines were added to the cast. Mr. Anderson will welcome any suggestions. Arrow Flynn is to top all of his cinematic swashbuckling by killing no less than 32 antagonists in his next star, The Adventures of Don Juan, and he starred at his career portraying a corpse. Donald Meek, heretofore confined to mousy characters, has been assigned a lion-like role by Warner Brothers in Janey Gets Married, a comedy now before the cameras with Joan Leslie, Robert Hutton and an all-star cast. He will portray the bombastic owner of a chain of newspapers, and will compete romantically with Robert Benchley for the hand of a gay divorcee. Child prodigies, be they tap dancers, memory experts or mimics, have long been classed with the lower forms of animal life. Confronted by them and their antics, most adults feel inclined to do something drastic. And that's what makes a Lexus Smith, Warner Brothers star, something of an enigma. A Lexus who shares top billing with Jack Benny in The Hornblows at Midnight is, or was, a child prodigy. And a Lexus is easy, very easy to take. Maybe it's because she's as simple as her name, her last name. Maybe it's because she's devoid of phony Hollywood charm and a desire to impress people. Actually she came about her rare talent in a diversified field perfectly naturally. Her career has the obvious result of an overpowering interest in a number of things like dancing, singing, acting and formal music. Thoroughly imbued with these interests, a Lexus decided to do something about them. She walked, she wasn't shelved, to the nearest good teacher she could find and then set to work. As a result, she was doing solo ballet dancing at the Hollywood Bowl at the age of 13. By this age too, she was an accomplished concert pianist, had a lyric soprano voice which many said was of operatic proportions. A Lexus studied all these things six to eight hours a day, every day. She knew finally the thrill of not only being good but expert at half a dozen of the more exacting arts. In itself, that's not so much. But the fact that a Lexus excelled at these things without impressing herself with her ability and this mind you in Hollywood, the very seat of self-impressing has something of the truly noble in it. And now a word from your local announcer. By transcription, Bidwell McCormick takes you behind the scenes in Hollywood. It took studio technicians at MGM 72 hours to duplicate a surprise Jap attack. They could have been actually accomplished in an equal number of seconds. That must have been during the filming of They Were Expendable. Yes. The technicians, property and construction crews, reproduced a rubble, a rubble strewn bomb cratered, smoldering replica of Cavite Naval Yard after its historic destruction by Japanese bombers. To create the illusion of havoc, special buildings of non-priority materials were constructed, broken gas and water mains, splintered bulkheads, shattered windows, wrecked trucks, all furnished background for the crowds of terrified evacuees shown being removed by soldiers in the sequence. Before a single camera turned, however, I understand director John Ford contributed a typical dictatorial touch. Amid the carnage lay a sign which previously had graced the driveway of the Naval Yard when the Japs came. Spotting it, Ford ordered it to be set up in its original place, although the drive now was no more than a pile of smoking rubble. Ironically enough, the lettered sign read, Keep this space clear at all times. And just as Ford was about to record the first scene, a brush fire blazed up six miles offshore and directly in camera range. Clouds of gray smoke billowed from the island. Perfect, exclaimed Ford, chewing his pipe with delight. That's Manila burning. Green Mansions, W. H. Hudson's novel of life and death in a South American jungle, has been purchased by the MGM studio and is scheduled to go before the cameras late this year. Screen rights to the timely, realistic and widely acclaimed ladies' home journal novelette We Got Back have also been purchased by Metro Golden Mayor. Peter Lawford, young English actor, wins the most important role of his career and two leading ladies as the juvenile lead in Two Sisters from Boston. Gloria Dehaven's pretty brown-haired sister recently decided to launch a screen career of her own and already has won a comedy role in Yolanda and the Thief, MGM Technicolor Fantasy, starring Fred Astaire and Lucille Brimmer. Marjorie has been Gloria's studio stand-in ever since the youngest Dehaven began her Comet-like career in Best Foot Forward. Previously, Marjorie and her brother, Carter Dehaven Jr., were on the stage with their father, one-time matinee idol. Once again, in early to wed, Lucille Ball is wearing a lucky piece borrowed from Irene, executive designer for Metro Golden Mayor. In this case, it's a beautiful square emerald-cut diamond set in a gold shadow box, Irene's engagement ring from her husband, Captain Elliot Gibbons. Irene and Lucille have been observing this little custom ever since they've been together at MGM. The something borrowed, which Lucille wears in at least one scene in every picture she makes, is always a piece of Irene's beautiful collection of rare jewelry. Bunny Walters' six-foot glamazon has been set for a role in MGM's Abbott and Costello in Hollywood. She'll do a dance routine with Lou Costello, who stands five feet four inches tall. It seems only yesterday that Van Johnson, who was just one of the eager kids on the lot, was seeking a break. But even those who didn't know Van by name noticed him, his infectious smile, and the fact that he looks just like what he is, a clean-cut, gentlemanly American boy attracted attention. So everyone on the MGM lot has been continually pulling for Van from the first. Van Johnson was born in Newport, Rhode Island. He entered the theater, went on a vacation from his father's realty business, when he was offered a small role in New Faces on Broadway. Stern in Vaudeville was followed by roles in Too Many Girls and Pal Joey on Broadway, and then a motion picture contract came, and he has appeared in such films as The White Cliffs of Dover, a guy named Joe, Madame Curie, The Human Comedy, Two Girls and the Sailor, and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, and is soon to be seen in A Thrill to Remember. An hour word from your local announcer. By transcription, Bidwell McCormick takes you behind the scenes in Hollywood. A rainy day often causes many surprising things to happen in a movie studio, but recently, for the first time on record, it brought about shooting and with real bullets. Well, that was when director Charles David had Deanna Durbin and other members of the company filming Lady on a Train, wasn't it? Yes. The company was on Universal's back lot shooting exterior scenes on the New York Street set, which had been tarped. That is, it had been roofed over with a huge tarpoleon to keep out the, shall we say, dampness. Well, fearing that the ever-increasing weight of the water might bring the entire covering crashing down on players and equipment, director David sent a rush call to the studio arsenal for a man with a rifle to shoot holes in the canvas so that the water would drain off. For the first time since it began playing butler roles, Arthur Treacher will have a running mate. In That's the Spirit, Irene Ryan contends for kitchen honors with a tall, suave actor. She is a housemaid. In previous pictures, Treacher always dominated the back stairs comedy. The salary of William W. Willie Davis, 6 foot 6 inch professional wrestler who plays a palace attendant in Waller-Wanger's Night of Paradise continues for three weeks after completion of the Universal Technicolor Spectacle while his hair is growing back. Davis shaved his head for the role as he did for a previous Wanger picture, Arabian Nights. A span of 2,495 years was recently represented on Universal Stage 12. On one end of the block-long soundstage was a leftover set from Night in Paradise where King Croesus held sway in 550 B.C. On the opposite end of the stage, John Hoffman was directing Noah Berry Jr. and Lois Collier in a ferry boat scene laid in San Francisco in 1945 for Hear That Trumpet Talk. Lady, one of the oldest dog actors in Hollywood, has been brought out of retirement to play a character part in Universal's Uncle Harry. Lady is 18 years old and a veteran of many silent pictures. Her trainer, Henry East, had given it her friends many years ago figuring that she was too senile for screen work. And then along came Uncle Harry with a good dog, Role, whose name is Weary, supposed to be so fat and old that it has to be carried by Geraldine Fitzgerald or George Sanders and dies before the picture ends. Lady was just the type, so now she's out earning a living at her age. While young actors frequently portray old men, senior actors rarely impersonate juveniles. And yet with the help of the Universal Makeup Department, Ludwig Stolzl became 40 years younger for one sequence in Serenade for Murder. Neighbors in San Fernando Valley laughingly refer to Noah Berry Jr. as the disgruntled gentleman farmer. This doesn't mean that the current crop on the Berry 5.5-acre ranch has been ruined, nor does it mean that the mean old moustached villain prominent in outdoor pictures is about to fork clothes on the screen actor's plot. Young Berry is disgruntled because he feels confined on his small plot. He wants to do farming on a larger scale, say about a 500-acre farm somewhere in Central California. Noah says, after all, a man has to have breathing space. Soon he will be seen opposite Benita Granville in Universal's The Beautiful Cheat. Noah inherited his love for the great outdoors from his father, Noah Berry Sr., old-time Western favorite. As a child, Young Berry accompanied his father and his uncle on outdoor trips into New Mexico and Arizona. The late Henry McRae, daddy of universal serial thrillers, discovered Noah Jr. acting in the Hollywood Theater Mart's Kindling, following his graduation from Hollywood High School and signed the theatrically ambitious youngster to play the lead in three episodic features. Noah Berry Jr., whose nickname is Pidge, is married to the former Maxine Jones, daughter of the late Western star Buck Jones. They have a four-year-old daughter, Maxine Jr. Add now a word from your local announcer.

Local government decisions are sometimes underappreciated opportunity to also make a real difference in our daily lives, even as we continuously challenge everything that is wrong in our wider world. This historic election sets the stage for how our residents govern ourselves for years to come. I know how things work and how we can make things work better. Our new Town Council needs counselors who have a record of crafting workable solutions by continuously building and rebuilding coalitions with a variety of people around different issues, including people who disagree with both the means and the ends. And my website includes a number of endorsement statements reflecting how I've worked with people in our community. I have now served effectively with six different Town Managers and 11 different Select Board members, while both initiating and analyzing policy to direct the Town Manager and determine whether to recommend legislation to Town Meeting, working with not only the advice of both appointed committee members and staff, but also with members of the public. I was Select Board Chair during the shocking death of a beloved Town Manager, and together we navigated the hiring of both an interim and a permanent Town Manager. On your behalf, I have prepared and delivered testimony to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, the Conference Committee on Marijuana Legislation, the Cannabis Control Commission, and the Treasurer's Alcohol Task Force, as well as providing leadership to the Hampshire County Select Boards Association. I have continuously fought for what this community values, while insisting upon the transparency we are not only required to have under open meeting law, but that we also cherish as part of direct democracy. The purpose of Town Governance is not to stop things that don't seem quite perfect, is to pursue the things our residents value. We value affordable housing, so we need to build it, even if the location doesn't immediately seem perfect. We value public education, so we need to fix our school infrastructure, even if we aren't 100% in agreement with the school committee about the educational programs being offered. We value leaving our children a habitable planet, so we need to explore multiple alternatives to fossil fuels, while we find better ways to get people downtown, to buy both things and experiences, and to build responsibly, but not make it impossible to build it all. We value diversity, so finding ways to connect various communities of interest to the discussions and decisions they care about must be our daily challenge. We can move forward together. Please contact me through the campaign website, elissaforammers.com, which focuses on three areas, local economy, transparent governance, and proven leadership. Please vote for Elisa Brewer at large on Tuesday, November 6. Thank you for your time, and thank you, Amherst Media.


You're still watching Waze. Today is National Day of Fraternity and Cohesion and takes place annually on February 22nd in the Republic of Algeria. It marks the anniversary of the protests that united the country against an unjust leader and his party's attempt at another selfish power grab. On February 22nd, 2019, the entire country rose in units into a whole nationwide protest. I think this is just right on point. Because I don't want to say this is where we are at right now, but I mean, it's quite a timely holiday because I think at that point in our lives now, or as a country, it's time for us to take back what belongs to us. Our country writes everything. Jenny, you're not saying anything. Because when you mention protests, it just takes me back. Yeah, it just takes me back. And I'm really hoping that we don't get to that point because I feel like they're trying to instill fear in people this coming election. And like you said, this came at the right time. But I'm really hoping that we don't get to that point where we have to do a second protest all over again because we lost lives the last time. So I really don't want to lose anybody, whether I know you or not. You don't deserve that. Right. I really hope that we don't get to that point, actually. OK, Ysie, what did you find for us in the news today? All right, in my news, what actually caught my attention was we are actually in the season of election and we have a lot of tension in the air. People are already walked up. And everybody's mood is actually on the high right now. So any little thing can actually trigger anybody to violence or they can be actually used to cause some sort of mayhem in the society currently. So what actually caught my attention was you, the Dutch's sentence, when he said that, why you shouldn't engage in violence for any candidate. That caught my attention because we have had this happen time and time again over the years when we have election and the political class or politicians actually use the youth to actually cause some sort of mayhem to do their dirty work. Here, Yulia Dochi said that we have to use our senses to actually give the politicians the words that they really deserve. And his response was that whenever a politician actually reaches out to any individual or anyone to actually cause some sort of mayhem, that they should actually say the word to the candidate. Any candidate who wants to engage you to cause mayhem on election day, tell them to bring their children or his children to need the support. I'm actually using his words verbatim, basically. And in this context, I totally agree with him when he said this because we've had issues of the cause of they saying that when we have people doing things like this, they tend to hide the children away and put the masses children in the forefront. So yes, I totally agree with Yulia Dochi. Whoever wants to cause some sort of mayhem, they should bring their children to the forefront and let them lose their lives and let them see what other parents actually go through. The youth should be more sensible this time. Yeah, thank you so much. I think this is why we've been having these conversations this week. We talked about voter sensitization and things that you should actually do at the polling unit. And then they were also discussing safety at the polling unit. I mean, that makes a lot of sense. Jenny, what did you find for us in the news today? So for me, Jam Closes 2023 UTME registration. This took me back. But yeah, so the Jam registration was between January 4th and February 4th. But due to the recent developments in the country, they had to give it like a one-week extension so more people could register. And right now, they said they had about 1.6 million people who registered for Jam. That's a lot of numbers. How many people actually get admission? I was going to say that. I don't know. I don't know. I think it is. 200,000? I don't know. It must be more than that. It's definitely more than that. I know sometimes there are people who actually pass Jam. But I don't know if universities still do post-UTME, like their own school exams, because you also have to pass that hurdle. So that would now determine if you're even going to get into. And then it's broken down to university, there's college of education, and then all of that. So I think a wide range of people actually go to school. Like, it just took me back. So when I saw this in the news, I'm like, oh. I remember then returning to school. Hang out and hang out. Draying, studying. Quite nostalgic. OK, Sansi, what did you find for us in the news? All right, so elections are just around the corner. And movement of actualization of sovereign state of Biafra that's my sub have come out to one or easterners, whether you're supporting Biafra or not supporting Biafra, as saying listen, come out and vote. Now I traveled home. I traveled to the East during Christmas, And there is just this popular saying around, at least within my village, people are interacted with, that there is no need to vote because Biafra is different from Nigeria. And I was thinking, what are you guys saying? But I'm glad that at least an authority they respect to a certain extent has come out to tell them, listen, it is important that you guys, because this is what they said, do not allow anyone to see you in the name of Biafra. Because we know the real Biafra agitators and those paid to create confusion in the land. Also, those saying there shall be no election in Biafra land are enemies of Ndibu. If you don't vote, others will. And enemies of Ndibu will impose their puppet on our people, just like what happened in Nemo State. They know what they're referring to in Nemo State, but I think they made a very important announcement, like there is no seat at home, go out and vote. Is your rights? Nobody has the right to tell you to sit at home on a whole election day. That's wrong. That's why you know Charleston is saying, voting is actually your civic responsibility. Yes. You should actually exercise it as a citizen of any country that you belong to. Jenny, we're going to say something. No, no, no, I'm good. All right, and then for my own news, we've been talking about how much INEC is prepared for this election. But then today, I found in the news that they started to distribute sensitive election materials in Lagos State and also in Cross River as well as Delta State. And I was happy to see this, that they're not actually waiting until a day before. So we don't now start hearing stories of, oh, they couldn't get these, the BVAS to the different polling units and all that. So I'm hoping that this is actually ample time if they started doing this today. They have between today and at least Friday night to prepare and to actually distribute these election materials. Jenny, what? So when I saw this news, I was like, oh yeah, okay, cool. But at the same time, I mean, being in Nigeria and living in Nigeria, I already have trust issues, do you understand? I'm just hoping that even with this distribution that they are safe and that no one is actually trying to tamper with it. And they probably gave it to people who are trustworthy and people who actually have integrity. That's he, trustworthy people. Very important. And integrity. So please, if you've gotten it, we beg you, in the name of God, do the right thing. That's the next eight years of our lives right there. I'm telling you, it's very important. I was thinking though, another eight years, I know how old I will be and I really don't want to go through another series of no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Already. Here we are. Okay, so yeah, like Jenny Reckley said, if you're in charge of any of these materials, we beg you, please take good control of them. Protect them as much as you can. Don't collect anything for something, please. All right, the commission will continue after the break, see you after the break.


In line with his policy on bridge maintenance and management and global quality assurance and quality control practices, the legislative government has commenced routine maintenance works on pedestrian and vehicular bridges in the state. This was disclosed by the special advisor to the governor on infrastructure engineer Ulufemi Daramola while inspecting the extent of ongoing works on Codesso Bridge in the casual local government area of the state. Ulufemi urged stakeholders to support the contractors on site to ensure timely delivery of the maintenance works. Ulufemi Daramola, the special advisor to Mr Gognon works on infrastructure. This closure is necessitated by the failure of the expansion joints on Codesso Bridge. There are two sections in which the expansion joints are bad and need to be replaced to avoid further deterioration. The construction work, the replacement and the schedule to be done in about 15 days. The government of Mr Babaji Day Ulusyalas and Olu is on top of it. There are several bridges that have the same type of problems and they are scheduled to be done in faces. For instance, the Ojota Bridge is one of them, the Asolo Bridge is one of them and the Okiafa Bridge was reinstated over the weekend. In addition to this, there are lots of pedestrian bridges that have problems and the one at Ojodubega has been reinstated and it's going to be a continuous process. However, we have to be mindful of the locations. For instance, you're well aware that there's work going on on the Third Mainland Bridge. And we need to, in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation, ensure that the works we do will not impact negatively on movement.


Our goal was to win our conference last year, and we lost in the semis to Juniata. But, you know, we had a nice season. We were 20 and 12, won a lot of matches, and overall the players improved as players and did well in school, which was really great. And so this year, you should know that we're in a new conference, this MAC. So that's really nice to be in kind of our home conference. And, you know, our goal, we set team goals that we would win the MAC, and then we get an automatic birthday NCAA, which would be great. But what I also did, I scheduled a really tough out-of-conference schedule. We're going to be playing six of the top ten teams in the country in D3. And other, you know, highly ranked teams. There aren't any Gimmies out-of-conference, because I wanted to make sure that if we do happen to win our conference that we don't have big heads and expectations that we're going to mow over everybody else. I know they don't, but it's really great to play the best teams, and you learn that way. Yeah, well, I lost five seniors, which was huge. Kind of a, they were really, you know, great players. Key positions at setting and middle blocking and outside hitters, you know, starters. So, but I also was fortunate to land five incoming freshmen. And with a setter and a middle block or an outside position open, they're, you know, fired up and make the practices really competitive, trying to win starting positions. So, you know, the key returners are Landon Schwartz and Jason Gardner on the outside, or opposite, and then Derrick Libero. Alex Klunk is our captain, senior captain, middle blocker. And I hope I'm not leaving anybody out. But the other middle blocking positions open, the other outside hitting positions open, and the setting positions open. More open, all the positions are always fighting, you know, that's the way coaches like it, they're fighting for starting positions. But, and they're all capable. But I enjoy having some senior leadership too this year. Get excited about it. It's a new team. I mean, that's something I've learned. It was my first year last year and actually coaching collegiate is new to me. I've coached internationally and the team kind of stays the same for four years. Here it's, you know, there's five new freshmen coming in. So, we're a new mix. And we're going to play an exciting brand of volleyball. We're going to try to speed up our offense and play to our strengths. And guys really work hard, so it should be an entertaining year.
