Supernova get all the press, but Nova and Micronova are still pretty powerful. White dwarf stars are normally pretty inactive, unless some hydrogen ends up kickstarting them again. Enough helium leeched from a nearby star can ignite the entire surface of a white dwarf. Nova may not destroy the star, but they can create immensely powerful explosions and particles. The right combination of White Dwarf and Red Giant can create powerful particles near the speed of light. Micronova sound small but they are still colossal and brief explosions on white dwarf stars. Not powerful enough to ignite the whole surface of a star, but definitely enough to destroy a planet, micronova are quite deadly. Scaringi, S., Groot, P.J., Knigge, C. et al.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Chicago Cubs 4, Tampa Bay Rays 2 Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians, PPD Tigers were off Cubs 4, Rays 2 – Suzuki extends hitting streak to 9, Cubs beat cold Rays 4-2 Seiya Suzuki extended his hitting streak to nine games, tying Akinori Iwamura for the longest by a Japanese-born player at the start of a major league career, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-2 on a cold night. Suzuki singled to left leading off the fourth inning, matching the mark that Iwamura set with the Rays in 2007 and tying Andy Pafko’s record for a Cubs player at the start of his career, set in 1943. Suzuki was thrown out by left fielder Randy Arozarena trying to stretch his hit to a double. White Sox at Guardians, PPD – White Sox-Guardians postponed by inclement weather The game between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians scheduled for Monday night was called about five hours before the scheduled 6:10 p.m. first pitch after rain and snow showers fell most of the day and temps dropped into the 30s. The teams will play a split doubleheader on July 12. Tonight Chicago White Sox (Keuchel 1-0) at Cleveland (Bieber 0-0), 6:10 p.m. N.Y. Yankees (Cole 0-0) at Detroit (Alexander 0-0), 6:40 p.m. WSJM/WCSY 6:20 Tampa Bay (Fleming 1-1) at Chicago Cubs (Steele 1-0), 7:40 p.m. MLB – Former Cubs ace Jake Arrieta says he’s retiring Jake Arrieta, a key pitcher on the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 World Series championship team, has decided to retire. Arrieta made the announcement during a Barstool Sports podcast. The 36-year-old Arrieta went 5-14 with a 7.39 ERA in 24 starts for the Cubs and San Diego Padres last season. He finishes his career with a 115-93 record and 3.98 ERA in 285 games, including 279 starts, over 12 years in the majors. Arrieta won the NL Cy Young Award with Chicago in 2015 and helped the Cubs win the 2016 World Series for their first championship since 1908. NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Playoffs – First Round Yesterday Philadelphia 76ers 112, Toronto Raptors 97 (PHI Leads 2-0) Dallas Mavericks 110, Utah Jazz 104 (Series tied 1-1) Golden State Warriors 126, Denver Nuggets 104 (GSW Leads 2-0) Tonight Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat, 7:30 p.m. (MIA Leads 1-0) Minnesota Timberwolves at Memphis Grizzlies, 8:30 p.m. (MIN Leads 1-0) New Orleans Pelicans at Phoenix Suns, 10:00 p.m. (PHX Leads 1-0) NBA – Healthy Lopez gives Bucks major size advantage against Bulls The silver lining to the back injury that sidelined Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez for most of the season is that it made him fresher for the playoffs. The 7-footer is healthy now and eager to help the Bucks defend their title. He’s already shown he can cause problems on both ends of the floor for the Chicago Bulls, the Bucks’ first-round opponent. Lopez scored 18 points and played a season-high 32 minutes in Sunday’s 93-86 Game 1 victory. He also was a big part of a defense that held Chicago to the lowest point total of any Bucks opponent all season. NCAAHKY – Hobey Baker winner gets 6-month ban for prohibited substance Minnesota State goaltender and Hobey Baker Award winner Dryden McKay has been given a six-month ban for an anti-doping violation after leading the Mavericks to the Frozen Four national championship game. The suspension was announced Monday by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. McKay was tested by the agency as an alternate for Team USA’s Olympic hockey roster. A supplement he took to help protect him from COVID-19 was the source of the positive test. Minnesota State said in a statement that McKay had a mandatory provisional suspension that was lifted following a hearing in early February. McKay said in a social media post that he accepted the suspension so that he can be ready for professional hockey in the fall. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Calgary Flames 5, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Flames 5, Blackhawks 2 – Gaudreau, Markstrom help Flames beat Blackhawks 5-2 Johnny Gaudreau, Dillon Dube and Blake Coleman scored in the first period, and the Calgary Flames beat the lowly Chicago Blackhawks 5-2. Jacob Markstrom made 22 saves as playoff-bound Calgary won for the seventh time in eight games. Gaudreau and Oliver Kylington tacked on long empty-netters for the Pacific Division leaders in the final 1:32. Chicago lost for the 10th time in 11 games. Tyler Johnson and Alec Regula scored, and Kevin Lankinen made 30 stops. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:00 p.m. NHL – Red Wings’ Larkin has core muscle surgery, out 8-10 weeks Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has undergone core muscle surgery, ending his second season as the team’s captain earlier than hoped. The Red Wings say his recovery is expected to last eight to 10 weeks. The 25-year-old Larkin leads the Red Wings with 31 goals and 69 points in 71 games. Detroit has not earned a spot in the playoffs since 2016 when Larkin was a rookie and its run of 25 straight postseasons ended. Larkin has 358 career points over seven seasons with the Red Wings. Detroit drafted him No. 15 overall in 2014 draft. NFL – Browns speak to NFL on ‘tanking’ claims made by former coach The Cleveland Browns have spoken to an NFL investigator looking into claims by former coach Hue Jackson, who said the team intentionally lost games in 2016 and 2017. Jackson, now coaching at Grambling State, indicated in a series of posts on social media that the Browns paid him bonuses incentivizing him to lose. Jackson later softened those claims. The Browns went 1-15 in 2016 and 0-16 in 2017 under Jackson. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed the league engaged former SEC chair Mary Jo White to look into Jackson’s allegations. The team said it welcomed the chance to address Jackson’s claims. NFL – Commanders send letter to FTC denying financial impropriety The NFL’s Washington Commanders denied several allegations of financial impropriety in a letter written to the Federal Trade Commission. The 105-page letter including testimony, emails and other documents comes as a response to the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee asking the FTC to look into the team’s business practices. The letter signed by Jordan W. Siev from the law firm Reed Smith denies the Commanders at any point withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and the league or kept fans from getting refundable ticket deposits back. The letter also takes aim at the motives of former VP of sales and customer service Jason Friedman, whose testimony against the team framed the committee’s recommendation. Running – Olympic champ Jepchirchir wins 50th women’s Boston Marathon Reigning Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Boston Marathon women’s division by winning a see-saw sprint down Boylston Street. Evans Chebet of Kenya won the men’s division as the race returned to its traditional Patriots’ Day spot in the schedule for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. More than 28,000 runners returned to the streets from Hopkinton to Copley Square six months after a smaller and socially distanced event that was the only fall race in its 126-year history.

Suzuki was thrown out by left fielder Randy Arozarena trying to stretch his hit to a double. White Sox at Guardians, PPD – White Sox-Guardians postponed by inclement weather The game between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians scheduled for Monday night was called about five hours before the scheduled 6:10 p.m. first pitch after rain and snow showers fell most of the day and temps dropped into the 30s.

The 7-footer is healthy now and eager to help the Bucks defend their title. He’s already shown he can cause problems on both ends of the floor for the Chicago Bulls, the Bucks’ first-round opponent. Lopez scored 18 points and played a season-high 32 minutes in Sunday’s 93-86 Game 1 victory. He also was a big part of a defense that held Chicago to the lowest point total of any Bucks opponent all season. NCAAHKY – Hobey Baker winner gets 6-month ban for prohibited substance Minnesota State goaltender and Hobey Baker Award winner Dryden McKay has been given a six-month ban for an anti-doping violation after leading the Mavericks to the Frozen Four national championship game.

A supplement he took to help protect him from COVID-19 was the source of the positive test. Minnesota State said in a statement that McKay had a mandatory provisional suspension that was lifted following a hearing in early February. McKay said in a social media post that he accepted the suspension so that he can be ready for professional hockey in the fall.

Detroit drafted him No. 15 overall in 2014 draft. NFL – Browns speak to NFL on ‘tanking’ claims made by former coach The Cleveland Browns have spoken to an NFL investigator looking into claims by former coach Hue Jackson, who said the team intentionally lost games in 2016 and 2017. Jackson, now coaching at Grambling State, indicated in a series of posts on social media that the Browns paid him bonuses incentivizing him to lose. Jackson later softened those claims. The Browns went 1-15 in 2016 and 0-16 in 2017 under Jackson. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed the league engaged former SEC chair Mary Jo White to look into Jackson’s allegations. The team said it welcomed the chance to address Jackson’s claims. NFL – Commanders send letter to FTC denying financial impropriety The NFL’s Washington Commanders denied several allegations of financial impropriety in a letter written to the Federal Trade Commission. The 105-page letter including testimony, emails and other documents comes as a response to the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee asking the FTC to look into the team’s business practices. The letter signed by Jordan W. Siev from the law firm Reed Smith denies the Commanders at any point withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and the league or kept fans from getting refundable ticket deposits back. The letter also takes aim at the motives of former VP of sales and customer service Jason Friedman, whose testimony against the team framed the committee’s recommendation.

Kevin and Cat roped in Chris Iwamura into this week's episode of the Have Aloha Will Travel podcast to talk about the present, past, and future of Rainbow Drive-In.

A few years ago, a tsunami hit Japan, and it took a baseball team to help rebuild one of its areas. Former Major League Baseball Player Akinori Iwamura is helping the community in Fukushima, Japan move forward from the tragic tsunami that hit the region in 2011 through baseball. Iwamura started a semi-professional baseball team there called the Red Hopes. And they are a powerful example of resilience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Alx has an amazing conversation with Chris Iwamura, Owner and CEO of Rainbow Drive In. Alx and Chris have known each other for about 30 years and talk about the hanabata days, growing up and going to college, and running a family business and the pressures that come with it.Coolers & Takeout started out of necessity at the beginning of the COVID Pandemic when Alx needed a way to perform music with every venue closed in Hawaii. As the year 2020 went on, Coolers & Takeout became more than just an outlet for music, it became a community of people from around the world who could get together once or twice a week to talk story and forget about the international chaos. There is never a script, or a setlist, and rarely a theme. We just want to sit down, relax, and talk story. And maybe play some music too. The Coolers & Takeout Podcast w/ Alx captures the laid-back/community feeling that the live stream captures each week. We want to know more about who everyone is and the journey they took to get to where they are. Too often we never hear about the stories buried deep in the archives. The C&T Podcast will capture these stories and more. Each guest will have their own unique experience, and because there is no script, there's no telling where the podcast will take us!

In popular perception, a certain image arises when we imagine eastern religions. Perhaps, we envision a wise old Asian man in traditional clothing sitting in a meditative state (maybe not). But why does this image emerge? Jane Iwamura, Chair of The Department of Religious Studies at the University of the West, examines this “Oriental Monk” figure in Virtual Orientalism: Religion and Popular Culture in the U.S. (Oxford University Press, 2011). Iwamura outlines the history of popular representations of eastern religions within the American religious landscape of 1950s through 1980s. Over and over again she found that the East was imagined through a particular perception of what eastern spirituality was all about and how one could access it. She presents a short genealogy of this “Oriental Monk” icon through the public representations of D.T. Suzuki, the Japanese scholar and popularizer of Zen Buddhism in the west; Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the celebrity guru for the Beatles; and Kwai Chang Cain from the popular televisions show Kung Fu. In our conversation we discuss the Zen Boom, the hyperreality of images, Jack Kerouac and the Beats, Alan Watts, geographies of East and West, and what makes American Orientalism unique.
