An energized SMU squad will carry a three-game winning streak against up-and-down Virginia in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for each team on Saturday in Dallas. The game is the first for the Mustangs' basketball team as a member of one of the nation's perennial powerhouse leagues, but don't expect SMU (7-2) to wilt in the spotlight. The Mustangs lambasted Alabama State 101-72 on Tuesday in their most recent outing. Their two losses came against Butler on the road by 11 points and against Mississippi State at home by five. Kario Oquendo poured in a season-high 20 points to lead seven SMU scorers in double figures in the win over Alabama State. Matt Cross added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Mustangs while Samet Yigitoglu and Chuck Harris scored 12 points apiece. Yohan Traore and B.J. Edwards each had 11 and Jerrell Colbert hit for 10. "I think it's finally getting to the point where we are starting to figure out how to play as a team," Oquendo said. "You can see it from game to game. We're getting better, and every practice, we're getting better. I believe the more games we play together, the more the things start coming together." SMU is second in scoring per game in the ACC (averaging 88.3 points) and assists per game (16.4). The Mustangs lead the ACC in rebound margin (plus-10.9), total rebound average (43.3 per game) and offensive rebounds (15.2 a game) -- all in all, an impressive start to their campaign. Boopie Miller is the SMU leader in scoring average (15.6 points per game) and assists (5.8), with Cross the top rebounder (7.5 per game). The Cavaliers (5-3) head to Dallas after an 87-69 loss at No. 13 Florida on Wednesday in the SEC/ACC Challenge. Elijah Saunders scored 19 points for Virginia while Isaac McKneely added 12 points -- all on 3-pointers. The Cavaliers, however, had no answer for the Florida defense, committing 15 turnovers that led to 20 points for the Gators. Virginia led 18-9 early but were down by four at halftime. They got to within a point after a deep basket by Saunders in the opening minute of the second half, but that was as close as the Cavaliers would come. "Overall, I was very, very pleased with the first half," Virginia interim coach Ron Sanchez said. "I think that we handled adversity well. This group is on its way of becoming who they're going to be. It's painful growth, but you grow nonetheless." McKneely leads the Cavaliers with 13.1 points per game, followed by Saunders at 10.3. Jacob Cofie is the top rebounder at 6.4 per game, while Andrew Rohde has a team-best average of three assists. The teams have met just once before, with the Cavaliers outlasting SMU 76-73 in the semifinals of the Corpus Christi Challenge on Nov. 29, 2013. --Field Level Media

DAVID Beckham paid a secret visit to Man United’s beloved receptionist Kath Phipps before she died. He was among a host of club legends to pay heartfelt tribute to Kath, 85 — an Old Trafford employee for 56 years. 5 David Beckham made a personal visit to see beloved Manchester United receptionist Kath Phipps Credit: Beckham/Netflix 5 After her death was announced, Beckham shared a picture holding Kath Phipps' hand as a tribute Credit: Instagram 5 Kath worked for United for 55 years and joined when Sir Matt Busby was manager Credit: Reuters Alongside a photo of them holding hands, Becks, 49, wrote : “I moved up to Manchester at 15 and Kath made a promise to my mum and dad, ‘I’ll look after your boy for you, don’t you worry’. “And from that first day till the last day I spent with her, that’s exactly what she did.” Becks added on Instagram: “Old Trafford will never be the same without your smile as we walk through those doors. We love you.” Becks travelled to her home two weeks before she passed away.

"I look forward to coming in and having a smile on my face every day.” 5 David Beckham posted an emotional farewell to Kath on social media Credit: Instagram 5 Kath was pictured welcoming billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe to Manchester United earlier this yearPiecing together the last 11 months felt like trying to laugh at a joke I didn’t quite understand — painful, cringe, and less and less funny every time I tried to explain it. The “so, how are you?” questions were earnestly plastered on the faces of everyone I’d been avoiding since April, when we closed our shop in Echo Park, Género Neutral , after three years. The questions got louder and louder and my voice, faint. I preferred being the young(ish) woman who did “cool” things, who was fun and held it together enough to turn chaos into chaotic good. I preferred being “that girl who owns that shop” instead of “that girl whose shop ended up closing,” and who felt like a failing live wire because of it. “I have no idea how I’m doing” became my typical — and honest — sad girl response to those daunting questions for all of spring and summer, until it became too much to let die another day, and I needed to figure out how to rebirth my business. My business partner, Jenni Zapata, and I were of course not alone in this experience of closing our doors suddenly and seemingly prematurely, as we watched so many fellow small businesses succumb to the quicksand of L.A. brick-and-mortar retail in 2024. We approached this past January with fresh energy as best we could, existing in survival mode most days and fairly detached from the social spaces we used to frequent. We weren’t ready to be vulnerable with others about the predicament we found ourselves in. I can’t fake any funk (and choose not to), so I started to slip away. Our spirits were weary from a tough holiday season, from watching a few “bad” days turn into weeks, and then months. But we were determined to reignite the Género magic that helped us turn nothing into something during the pandemic, drunk on delusion and wine, replacing the seltzers of our days gone by. The truth is, whatever we did in the shop wasn’t going to be enough to sustain a new future, as too much became out of our control. We couldn’t throw the financial dice another month, let alone the rest of our lease term, or find the last loophole in an economy that isn’t built for independent small-business owners. My bank account knew this, my body knew this, but my heart was breaking. I met people I never wanted to live without in that shop; I met a version of myself I never imagined I could be when we opened our doors, and I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to her. We were the exception to the retail rule for the bulk of our business, but for reasons that make sense only in hindsight. By the end of 2023, we’d sit on our conversation pit-style couch at GN in amazement at how many people would come to hang out and talk with us in a week, but who wouldn’t buy anything, or even try to pretend that’s what they came to do. What we sold on our racks mattered less and less to the bulk of guests that came through — it was the metaphorical space we created for people that kept them coming back. We witnessed a community form organically in our doorway, on our couch, on our bench outside, and on Sunset Boulevard, “[singing in non-English]” and dancing to some of the best DJs on the east side. How do you put a price on that, let alone pay rent and next season’s invoices from it? You can’t, we couldn’t — so we stopped, albeit to the shock of a lot of our friends and peers who didn’t have to keep track of what success looked like the way we did. Maurice Harris , the artist and floral visionary behind Bloom & Plume and the coffee shop of the same name, got it. In August, he closed his coffee shop nearby, on Temple Street, after five years. “I stayed in my own way for a very long time, and that’s been a hard pill to swallow,” he told me. “We all struggle with being in the hot seat and realizing, ‘Oh, I could be the problem here,’ and that you’re probably going to create that problem a few more times before you learn the lesson. My therapist and I talk about how you don’t change until it’s painful enough.” After closing his coffee shop and while exploring his cult-followed “Capitalism Doesn’t Care About Your Curiosity” series he self-produces on Instagram, Harris’s approach is changing, while rooted in authenticity. He’s journeyed his love of flowers into scent exploration, developing candles and fragrances. “I’m giving myself room to be more flexible in the world of doing this differently,” he generously shared. He’s focusing on the things that he’s discovered can be next, and new. As small-business owners, we’ve all taken turns looking up to each other in the fight to be authentic, to reinvent, or to legitimize the risks we’ve taken. None of us really knows what we’re doing, which makes it that much more magical when something “works” — and relatable when it doesn’t. From a boutique perspective, the kisses of death looked like the ubiquity of fast-fashion culture and the now-eternal sale season, unreliable consumer attention spans, and the fact that people aren’t spending money like they did, as personal spending power tanked for so many post-pandemic. Factoring in the cost of living and operating in L.A., small retailers are becoming akin to islands in a sea of rents that only bigger chains can afford, which leaves us all a bit cynical and bored, as the “cool” factor is challenged in more and more neighborhoods. If these conversations-turned-therapy sessions with our peers told me anything, though, it’s that death and rebirth can coexist, regardless of how quickly we accept that transformation when confronted with it. For me, “changing” has sometimes looked like going on Do Not Disturb on my phone for the last 11 months. Other times, it’s been choosing to meet with our newest business partner — one of my best friends, Danny Jestakom — to talk about the ideas we’ve been poring over in remixing, recalibrating and growing GN into a certain afterlife, one with less constraints, or certain freedoms. Shedding the imposter syndrome in pivoting the business is something I’m still working on, as I tell myself I do this now instead of that , and I’m a better person for it. Sincerely, I still sometimes struggle to lean into how life is completely different now, until I wake up from my fever dream and remind myself none of this really matters anyway (Aquarius moon here, y’all). Last Saturday, we threw our first event, a party in partnership with chef Enrique Olvera’s Ditroit Taqueria in the Arts District. It was our celebration in loving memory of the Género Neutral shop, and an honoring of what’s to come with GNLA, the older sibling of Género, which will still be about collaborating with our favorite brands, people and spots around Los Angeles. We came up with the name for the party, Siempre Juntos, or “Together Forever,” at the tail end of summer, long before ballots were cast, before our collective hearts experienced another guaranteed heartbreak. Yearning for the infinity of connection and for the opportunity to reunite, we wanted nothing more than to create a moment where we all could get together again, like no time had passed, like the good ‘ol days, like nothing had changed even if everything had. I’m completely certain of what’s next — things being hard, growth being nonlinear, not knowing what I’m doing and doing it anyway, much like the approach we had when crafting Género Neutral from scratch. I smile again because of it, and because we have thousands of new friends now to see us through. If GNLA is the other side, then I hope to see you there. Ashley S.P. is a writer and the co-founder of GNLA, a new multicultural agency rooted in the joyous and inclusive spirit of the Género Neutral shop in Echo Park.

Elon Musk rips into Albanese govt over social media banD ear Neil: A squirrel must have planted a bur oak acorn in one of our pots last year because we were blessed with a seedling this spring. It grew well (27 inches tall), although it was attacked by a fungus this fall. Should we plant it into the ground now or wait another year? Plant it in the next month or two. In fact, I would plant it right away. Its root system is probably winding around and around at the bottom of the pot. If so, use your pruning clippers to cut one or two of the encircling roots so that they will branch out. Otherwise, they may girdle themselves as they grow larger over the years. You really don’t want to leave it in a container any longer than necessary. It’s tall enough to stand on its own. Put a stake alongside it to keep an animal from stepping on it, and keep it watered every few days now through the winter, spring, and summer. By the way, the “fungus” might have been the minor damage of sawfly larvae as they take the tissues out from between the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. They are fairly common on bur oaks, but they are of no particular concern. Dear Neil: I know you like a shrub called Italian jasmine, but I can’t find it in nurseries. Do you have any suggestions? Sadly, I do not. It’s a venerable old plant that was more popular 50 to 70 years ago than it is now. But it’s handsome and really ought to be brought back into more common use in our landscapes. For those who are unfamiliar, it’s Jasminum humile. North Carolina State University’s website notes that it has recently been separated into a separate genus with the name Chrysojasminum humile. It’s an arching shrub to 4 to 5 ft. tall and 5 or 6 ft. wide, perhaps slightly larger in South Texas. It’s winter-hardy about as far north as the I-20 corridor or slightly beyond, although the great cold spell of February 2021 did a lot of damage to plants that had previously survived for decades. It has square stems that are lined with small, very dark green, glossy evergreen leaves. Its flowers are produced in late winter and spring. They’re small, trumpet-shaped and clear yellow. I’ve never seen any fruit on the plants. Italian jasmine is propagated by stem cuttings taken in late winter on through early summer. It roots very easily, and several cuttings can be planted into each nursery pot to make plantable transplants within 12 months. It grows best in full sun and in highly organic, consistently moist soils. I’ve never seen an insect or disease bother it. If you decide that you’d like to try it, ask for it at your favorite independent retail garden center. Ask for the owner, manager, or buyer, and see if they stock it or can order it in for you come springtime. Nurseries that do landscape contracting year ‘round are usually your most likely sources. Dear Neil: We moved to Texas from Indiana last spring. I’d like to plant rhubarb. What suggestions do you have for me? It is not adapted to this part of the country. We’re simply too hot. I could try to encourage you with tips and tricks, but I’d just be wasting your money and effort. Stick with things that will be far better suited. Dear Neil: If I have overseeded my bermudagrass lawn with winter rye, do I need to worry about applying nitrogen fertilizer this time of year? You do not need to worry. Apply it at half the rate recommended for normal feedings. The rye is still young and just getting started. By applying your high-quality nitrogen fertilizer (30 to 40 percent of the nitrogen in slow-release form) in the reduced rate, most of it will be taken up by the ryegrass. Any that’s left over will be held in reserve by the permanent turf’s root system. All will be well. Dear Neil: Ten years ago we planted a red maple in our front yard. For several years it provided beautiful fall color, but in the past two years the leaves have started to turn black around their edges by early October. They fall to the ground with no color change. A second tree in another location provides beautiful color. Is it climatic or something in the soil? What can we do? If you’re talking about Acer rubrum, the true red maple from the Northeast, I’ve seen that happen time and again here in Texas. It’s especially common in alkaline soils (western two-thirds of Texas). It can also be due to one tree getting way too dry or suffering trunk or root system injury. Examine both trees closely, and if you’re still puzzled, have a certified arborist take a look at the affected tree. Dear Neil: I have grown tomatoes in two raised beds, alternating the beds when I plant. I add compost and manure each time before I plant. This year’s crop was very limited, and it was suggested that I replace all of the soil. That would be such a job. What do you suggest? I don’t have nearly enough facts. Nematodes might be involved. They are microscopic, soil-borne worms that sting plant roots and suck fluids from them. The plants become stunted and unproductive, and you can usually see knotty galls on their roots. In that case, replacing the soil might be your best choice. Do a little research on nematodes to see if they sound like a possibility. You can also have the soil tested for their presence by working with the Texas Plant Clinic at Texas A&M. All the information is on their website. Otherwise, be sure the plants are still getting full sunlight. Sometimes we allow shade to creep over our gardens without noticing it.
