But if the current status quo has not changed for 2021-22?
“Next school year, we’ll be OK if we have fans in the stands,” Marquez said. “If we have to go back to limited fans, we will take an additional hit next year.”
The NMAA board of directors last June approved a budget with a projected deficit of $1.6 million for the 2020-21 school year. That budget accounted for no fans for fall and winter sports, Marquez said.

When Katharine Lee, a postdoctoral research fellow at Washington University in St. Louis, and Kathryn Clancy, an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, each say they experienced unexpected menstrual cycles after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, they did what researchers do and began to collect data.
The findings suggest these other tissues could potentially be targeted to help treat cancer.
“Tumors rely on a constant supply of nutrients to grow. Instead of competing with tumors for nutrients, other tissues can reprogram their metabolism to be complementary. In some instances, this may even allow healthy tissues to feed the tumor,” says Gary Patti, chemistry professor at Washington University in St. Louis, a chemistry and medicine professor at the School of Medicine, and corresponding author of the study published in
Cancer consumes tremendous amounts of glucose, a key source of energy for cells in the body. Glucose, or blood sugar, is derived from food and transported around the body through the bloodstream after eating. Tumors actively soak up glucose as a fuel to support their rapid growth.

More than half of Caribbean lizards and snakes disappeared after Europeans arrived

When European explorers arrived in the Caribbean 500 years ago, they didn’t just upend the lives of the Indigenous people they encountered they altered the entire ecosystem. As many as 70% of the snakes and lizards living on some islands may have vanished, a new study suggests. And it wasn’t just the colonists that were responsible: It was the cats, rats, and raccoons they brought with them.
