SAN FRANCISCO — Warriors center Kevon Looney hasn’t made a 3-point shot in three years. He has tried only twice. Even a mid-range jumper from the big man is seen as a surprise.But that doesn’t mean Looney can’t shoot.As the Warriors look to retool following a disappointing postseason, is it possible that Looney could take on an expanded role in the Warriors’ offense next season?“There’s still a lot I can do with the ball, shooting, a lot of things,” Looney said recently. “It depends what’s called for.”Larry Harris, the longtime Warriors’ assistant GM and former GM of the Milwaukee Bucks, remembers seeing tape of Looney in high school. Before Looney became a 6-foot-9 center capable of boxing out some of the strongest big men in the league, he was a skinny, 6-foot-9 guard who scored 45 points in his final game for Milwaukee Hamilton High.Harris can easily envision Looney one day becoming a guy who doesn’t just get rebounds and dish the ball back to the perimete...

Recent shark bites scary, but serious injuries remain vanishingly rare

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:42:58 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Recent shark bites in Florida and Hawaii and a suspected case in New Jersey have piqued interest in an age-old summer question for beachgoers — is it safe to go in the water?Scientists and researchers who study sharks said the overwhelming answer to that question is yes, it is safe. Potentially dangerous interactions between humans and sharks are uncommon, and serious injuries and deaths from the bites are vanishingly rare, scientists said.Nonetheless, the dramatic nature of shark bites and the stories of survivors, such as Hawaii surfer Mike Morita’s tale of fighting off a shark in April, capture the imagination. It’s a good idea to remember just how rare shark bites truly are, scientists said.HOW OFTEN DO SHARK BITES OCCUR?There have been typically around 70 to 80 unprovoked shark bites annually, worldwide, over the past decade. And not only are shark bites rare, they’ve been especially rare recently.There were only 57 unprovoked bites last...

However, he recommended public hearings on broader issues, including on foreign influence in Canada’s political system.Trudeau appointed Johnston, a family friend and a former gov...
