Key Facts Reed wore the white, short-sleeved jacket adorned with orange details as he warmed up before the game, during the game when he wasn’t playing on the court and during locker room celebrations after the Knicks won Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals. The Knicks’ team captain had already been named the most valuable player for both the 1969-70 season and the 1970 All-Star Game, but it was unclear if he’d be up to help the New York Knicks in the momentous game against the Los Angeles Lakers after tearing a thigh muscle in Game 5 and being forced to sit out Game 6.

Jeremiah Gray spearheaded San Miguel Alab Pilipinas in the Asean Basketball League. —TRISTAN TAMAYO Wanting to stay competitive for many years to come, Barangay Ginebra on Tuesday pulled out a post-Draft trade that had the Gin Kings addressing a position where they have aging stars. The injured Jeremiah Gray, selected as the second overall choice by Terrafirma on Sunday, found his way to the Kings’ lair after the Dyip shipped him for No. 8 pick Javi Gomez de Liaño and unheralded sophomore Brian Enriquez. Ginebra coach Tim Cone said the team is willing to take a chance on Gray’s injured knee as even his delayed arrival can certainly shore up their stock with the likes of Jeff Chan, Jared Dillinger and the 40-year-old Joe Devance needing support at the forward spot. Recovering in the US “Jeremiah is a talent we’re ready to wait for,” Cone told the Inquirer shortly after the league officially cleared the swap.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reached a deal with Abbott Laboratories that will allow the company to begin producing baby formula once again at its Sturgis, Michigan plant. The agency helped Abbott initiate a voluntary recall and shutdown of new production of its formula in February after the Michigan factory was linked to several bacterial outbreaks in infants in the last year.

David Bowie found Bangkok’s seedy charms hard to resist back in the 1980s. A Thai woman brought him to watch girls poledancing to his song Ricochet in the SuperStar gogobar. Drink in hand, the singer was filmed in the red light district of Patpong, one of the most famous in the world. During those years, the area drew countless tourists seeking out offerings from bars to all manner of adult-themed shows. The pandemic put a stop to all that, bringing Patpong to a standstill. While bars are now slowly reopening and the neon lights are flashing suggestively, the number of tourists remains low. Some of the most famous establishments, like Bowie’s SuperStar, or the famous Madrid Bar, have not survived. “The vivid lights of Patpong Road are slowly ebbing away as many bars and clubs cannot keep their heads above water,” the Bangkok Post wrote last year. Many bars in Patpong were killed off during the pandemic – is this an opportunity for the neighbourhood to escape overtourism? … [Read more...] about Sex and souvenirs: Cleaning up in Patpong after the pandemic

With more than 12 percent corrections just behind us, this is time to start investing in lumpsum and there are possibilities of good inflows at these levels, but it would be foolhardy to assume that the market sentiment would not impact the investors' mood.
