More info Graeme Shinnie reckons he is in good company with England captain Harry Kane – leading from the front and silencing critics who say their legs have gone. The captain has been back to his best for the on-form Dons this season and a big figure in Jimmy Thelin’s side making an 11-game unbeaten start to their Premiership campaign. That impressive run has seen them go head-to-head with champions Celtic on 31 points and some nine points ahead of the rest of the chasing pack. Shinnie has been a big part of that and he looks transformed from the player and silenced the doubters by proving that at 33 he still remains one of Aberdeen ’s most influential players. It is a far cry from last season as he and Aberdeen were written off as a spent force. The Reds skipper said: “My mate was telling me that a lot of people were saying that about me on social media. At my age if I have a couple of bad games it’s natural people think that. After all even Harry Kane’s getting that a bit now giving the stage he’s at in his career. “But it’s definitely not that my legs have gone as I feel fit and strong and my form has been good. If I hadn’t been in such good form but I was still as fit as I am they would still be saying it.” Shinnie is his own biggest critic. He accepts that his form, like Aberdeen’s, was far inconsistent. There were times where he played well and other times when he didn’t. There wasn’t too much in between. Shinnie refuses to use the excuse of the burden of European group stage football but admitted it didn’t impact his control of his Crohn’s Disease. He said: “I felt in the first half of last season that my form was up and down which put pressure on myself.

Football’s mad, your form can go up and down and dealing with the European trips last term was tough. “What with the Crohn’s disease and coping with the change in food and water, atmosphere and climate was different for me. I hadn’t experienced a lot of that as I had played European football before but not too that extreme. But my form just wasn’t good enough, especially in the league games which I was disappointed with.” Aberdeen’s resurgence under Thelin has proved to be night and day. The Dons look a major force but Shinnie knows the importance of not getting too high now either. He said: “In football you can’t get too high as we haven’t achieved anything yet but you can’t get too low when it’s going badly. There are always players who get really high when they’re winning and really low when losing as that’s life. I’ve got friends away from football who are like that if things are going well with a job or maybe not so well with a partner.”
The Evolving Role of ctDNA in Guiding Adjuvant Chemotherapy Decisions in CRC: Insights from Stacey A. Cohen, MD
Shortly after completing a 31-year tenure as the coach of the Towson men’s lacrosse program, Carl Anthony Runk was celebrated widely for his accomplishments. He was inducted into the Towson Hall of Fame in 2007, the Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2018, the University of Arizona Men’s Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2019 and received the John F. Steadman Lifetime Achievement Award from the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2022. But according to his son, Keith Runk, Mr. Runk downplayed the accolades. “He would say, ‘I haven’t cracked an egg in my life, and they’re recognizing me with this,’” his son said. “He never did anything for the recognition. He did it for the love of it.” Mr. Runk, who shepherded the Tigers from NCAA Division II to Division I status and the 1974 Division II national championship, died Sunday of pancreatic cancer at his home in Baltimore. He was 88. From 1968 to 1998, Mr. Runk compiled a 262-161 record that included that national title against Hobart, seven consecutive College Division Tournament berths from 1973 to 1979, an appearance in the 1991 Division I Tournament final against North Carolina, five East Coast Conference championships and 24 seasons with winning records. Tony Seaman, who succeeded Mr. Runk at Towson and met him as rivals when the former coached at Penn and Johns Hopkins, described his predecessor’s legacy as “long-lasting.” “I’ll always remember how well his teams were coached and how well his players played for him,” Seaman said. “They loved him, and they’d give everything in the world. You knew that you would get a game from beginning to end anytime you played against a Carl Runk team.” One of 13 children raised by George and Anna Runk and Josephine McGill in Highlandtown, Mr. Runk grew up working on tugboats and picking beans on farms on the Eastern Shore, according to his son. “They kicked and scratched for everything they got,” Keith Runk said. “Just making ends meet to get through and help the family out.” After graduating from Patterson Park High, Mr. Runk attended the University of Maryland on a football scholarship for a year-and-a-half, but then transferred to the University of Arizona, where he was an offensive tackle. Already married to the former Joan Johns who also graduated from Patterson Park, Mr. Runk squeezed in earning a master’s degree and teaching at an area high school between two stints coaching men’s lacrosse for the Wildcats. After the births of sons Carl, Keith and Curt, Mr. and Mrs. Runk decided to return to Maryland after Curt contracted spinal meningitis and lost his hearing. Upon his return, Mr. Runk joined what was formerly known as Towson State College to coach lacrosse. Mr. Runk added football to his coaching responsibilities when the coach quit before the program’s debut in 1969. In three seasons, the Tigers went 11-14-1 under Mr. Runk, who handed the reins to one of his assistant coaches, Phil Albert. Lacrosse is where Mr. Runk made his greatest impact. From 1968 to 1979, Mr. Runk amassed a 115-63 at the NCAA Division II level with only one losing season. His crowning achievement was shaping the 1974 squad into a group that outlasted Hobart, 18-17, in overtime for the NCAA Division II championship. Tom Moore, a midfielder and co-captain of that 1974 team, said Mr. Runk insisted on a culture absent of favoritism. “The ones that didn’t buy into the culture, they had to work harder to get into the starting lineup,” he said. “Some of them did, and some of them decided to quit. The bottom line was we expected everybody to work really hard and we expected everybody to be a team player.” Keith Runk, who played goalkeeper for the Tigers from 1979 to 1982, said his father extended that expectation to his son. “There was no special treatment,” he said. “When I was on the field, I was a player. I wasn’t his son. I was no better or no worse. But on the way home, it was different. He was Dad.” Members of Towson and Hobart and their parents dined together on the eve of the 1974 title game. While the Hobart coach praised his players’ efforts and dedication, Mr. Runk took a different approach. “Coach Runk got up there in front of our parents, and he started making fun of all of us. He was saying, ‘I don’t know how these kids got into school because their SAT scores weren’t really that good,’” Moore said with a laugh. “This was one of the most intense moments we all had because we were looking at the guys we had to fight against the next day, and he’s got everybody in tears and laughing by making fun of us. And we didn’t mind it because we knew he was doing it to just have a good time.” Mr. Runk had a certain command of his teams. Tensions always ran high between Towson and Maryland. So when a skirmish broke out during a scrimmage between the area rivals in 1980, the Tigers players were more than willing to jump into the fray. “Our entire bench started to run out on the field, and Coach Runk turned around and put up his hand, and you never saw 40 guys stop on a dime like that in your life,” said former Baltimore Sun sports editor Gerry Jackson, who was a defenseman for Mr. Runk from 1978 to 1981. “The kind of respect he had from the team was amazing.” After back-to-back 5-7 records in 1997 and 1998, Mr. Runk was not retained by Towson, which hired Seaman after he had been let go by Johns Hopkins. While Seaman quipped that Mr. Runk was too upset with the administration to take out his anger on Seaman, the latter said Mr. Runk was always supportive. “We were such good friends that it never came up,” said Seaman, who had known Mr. Runk since Seaman was a coach at a high school on Long Island where Mr. Runk often visited to recruit players. “He never felt bitter toward me. He knew that I needed the job.” Mr. Runk enjoyed playing musical instruments such as the guitar, banjo and harmonica and was a member of a barbershop quartet while he was a student at Arizona. But next to lacrosse, he prioritized his family. In 1978, Mr. Runk took a partial sabbatical to enroll at Gallaudet University and sign up for classes in sign language, audiology and the sociology of deafness. The following year, he taught basic sign language at Towson at least once per semester for 20 years. “It was important for him to teach people how to communicate with those who were hard of hearing,” his son said. “It was a tribute to the care that he had for the family and for people in similar positions. It wasn’t just about us or him.” Mr. Runk is survived by three sons (Carl of Burke, Virginia, Keith of Bel Air, and Curt of Jacksonville, South Carolina), one daughter (Brenda Parker of Ocean City), three brothers (Alfred of Forest Hill, David of Tampa, Florida, and Ted of San Francisco, California), two sisters (Joan of Daytona, Florida, and Donna of Port Richey, Florida), 11 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. The family will hold a private service. A celebration of Mr. Runk’s life is planned for a later date. Have a news tip? Contact Edward Lee at eklee@baltsun.com , 410-332-6200 and x.com/EdwardLeeSun .
Silvercorp: Recent Sell-Off Puts The Stock Back Into Buy TerritoryThe evolving Black Caps T20 team may have unearthed a reliable weapon at the death – “a very level-headed Cantabrian bloke” named Zak Foulkes. The 22-year-old finished off his side’s comeback victory in the series opener against Sri Lanka , claiming two wickets while conceding five runs in an eight-run triumph at Bay Oval. And if tonight’s second match is on the line at the same venue, expect skipper Mitchell Santner to again throw the ball in Foulkes’ direction. Saturday night was his first international on home soil , treating a crowd including his grandparents to a thrilling win. But it was far from his first experience at being entrusted with the late overs while wearing the black cap. On debut, against Pakistan in April, Foulkes was given the 20th over by then-captain Michael Bracewell. The same was true a couple of days later and the seamer responded with a wicket while allowing seven runs. Foulkes’ third and fourth internationals were in Sri Lanka last month; asked to bowl the penultimate over on each occasion, he delivered a wicket and 16 runs. Game No 5 was his most impressive closing effort yet, especially since his initial three overs had come at a cost of 37 runs. But shaking off setbacks is an essential skill in bowling at the death, both for shutting down free-swinging batters and repaying teammates’ faith. “The way Foulksy closed out that last over, he obviously had a bit of a tough run those first few, and for a 22-year-old he’s got a seriously cool head on his shoulders,” said player of the match Jacob Duffy. “He did the exact same in Sri Lanka – he was pretty clutch there, too. “He’s a very level-headed Cantabrian bloke, so he’s pretty chill.” That calm demeanour will be a welcome addition for a team who have lost the death-bowling of Tim Southee – another rather chill character – to international retirement. Zak Foulkes appeals during the first T20 against Sri Lanka. Photo / Photosport It will also be a way to earn further shouts from his skipper in match-winning moments, with Santner’s reign as new white-ball captain having begun in satisfying fashion. “I was on the boundary and Mitch waved out and said, ‘You’ll bowl the last’,” Foulkes said. “I just had [Matt Henry] and Mitch around me guiding me through it, which was nice. “It was just being real clear with our plans and our field sets and trying to put as much in favour as possible.” Foulkes is only the latest Canterbury quick to take command in the New Zealand attack. Along with Henry and the rehabilitating Kyle Jamieson, Will O’Rourke has instantly established himself as a key presence in the test team. Foulkes now can do likewise in the shortest form, complementing his accuracy with the ball by adding quick runs from No 9. The series opener against Sri Lanka brought no such opportunity, taking the crease for the final ball of an innings that for long stretches seemed like it would require contributions from the tail. That was before Bracewell and Daryl Mitchell put on 105 for the sixth wicket, sharing a stand that took New Zealand towards a competitive score. Pathum Nissanka (90 off 60) seemed set to end the competition, before Duffy’s vital three-wicket over in the 14th set the stage for Foulkes to close out an unlikely win the youngster would savour. “It was awesome to play my first game on home soil and get my first win – a pretty crazy win.” Foulkes said. “We always knew it was going to be tough for batters to start out there. We knew we just needed one, then Duff got three in that over and changed the game. “That scrappy mentality – you’re never out of it in cricket. It was awesome to scrap our way and get the treats at the end.”
Las Vegas quarterback Gardner Minshew is out for the season due to a broken collarbone, head coach Antonio Pierce confirmed on Monday, leaving the Raiders with a short week to determine their starter. Minshew suffered the injury when he was sacked and landed on his left shoulder late in the fourth quarter of Las Vegas' 29-19 home loss to the Denver Broncos. Former starter Aidan O'Connell, who was sidelined by a thumb injury in Week 7, could return off injured reserve in time for the Raiders (2-9) to face the two-time reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs (10-1) on Friday in Kansas City. "We'll see if Aidan is good to go," Pierce said. "He's been ramping up." O'Connell entered the 21-day practice window on Monday as the Raiders determine when to activate him. "Seeing him able to grip the ball comfortable, hopefully, no pain there, and just being able to be efficient," Pierce said. "To put a player out there that's hurting or injured still, that's not to the benefit of the player or our team." O'Connell, 26, has played in four games this season, starting two (both losses). He is 52 of 82 (63.4 percent) for 455 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. As a rookie last season, O'Connell started 10 of 11 games, going 5-5, and completed 213 of 343 passes (62.1 percent) for 2,218 yards, 12 TDs and seven interceptions. The Raiders selected O'Connell in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. "Obviously at the quarterback position, you've got to be smart," Pierce said. "I think with Aidan, his future's much brighter looking ahead. ... I'll have to really rely on our doctors and medical staff." Desmond Ridder replaced Minshew and went 5 of 10 for 64 yards. Ridder, 25, has appeared in three games this season for Las Vegas and is 16 of 26 (61.5 percent) for 138 yards and one TD. Ridder played the previous two seasons for the Atlanta Falcons, who selected him in the third round of the 2022 draft. For his career, he is 338 of 529 (63.9 percent) for 3,682 yards, 15 TDs and 12 interceptions in 22 games (17 starts, 8-9 record). Minshew, 28, completed 25 of 42 passes for 230 yards with one touchdown and one interception against the Broncos. He finished his first season with the Raiders with 2,013 yards, nine TDs and 10 picks on 66.3 percent passing. He joined the Raiders in free agency after stints in Jacksonville (2019-20), Philadelphia (2021-22) and Indianapolis (2023) and won the starting job in camp. But he was benched multiple times for O'Connell as the Raiders struggled as a team. --Field Level Media
