Former Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter pleads guilty to illegal betting
Former Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter pleaded guilty Wednesday to a single count of wire fraud conspiracy in connection with a gambling scheme that cost him his NBA career. Porter, in a dark suit and tie, said "guilty" when asked by a federal magistrate in Brooklyn how he pleaded to the charge and admitted he withdrew from games so he and others could benefit from electronic bets placed on how he would perform. "I knew what I did was wrong and unlawful and I'm deeply sorry for my conduct," Porter said. An NBA investigation found Porter placed more than a dozen bets on basketball games, including in which he bet the Raptors would lose. He received a lifetime ban from the league in April.
Average Person Feels Tired Over 4 Hours Each Day
A survey of 2,000 adults examined how Americans deal with their symptoms of tiredness and found that the average person feels tired four hours a day, and nearly a third (31%) admit they feel tired for even longer than that. In fact, one in three people “always” or “often” still feels tired after a good night’s sleep. 58% believe feeling tired often prevents them from enjoying life. The same number added that feeling exhausted has caused them to avoid social interactions, forcing a third to skip events and 27% to cancel plans with family or friends. TIP: “If sleep-related issues or feelings of extreme tiredness begin to interfere with your quality of life, it’s important to consult a doctor. Before diagnosis, more than one-third of chronic disease sufferers noted they experienced extreme tiredness without realizing it was a symptom of their underlying condition. A doctor’s evaluation can help identify the root cause of any symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.”
Transforming tennis tradition: The massive new Wimbledon Park Project will more than double its size
Wimbledon is about to get bigger. A lot bigger. If all goes ahead as planned, the Wimbledon Park Project will be a new and ambitious endeavor aimed at transforming the historic Wimbledon grounds by adding an extra 27 acres of land while simultaneously preserving its legacy and enhancing its community impact, according to Andrew Wayro, Wimbledon's senior design landscape manager. "I think it's fundamental to us going forward as a championship," Wayro told ABC News in an interview a few days before the start of the 2024 Championships. "It's fundamental for tennis in the U.K. and for us as a Grand Slam, but it's also fundamental in terms of what we can offer in terms of other benefits to compete with the other Grand Slams as well as what we can offer to patrons who come to the event each year." The project promises to bring significant changes to Wimbledon by expanding the tennis landscape and offering new opportunities for both players and the local community.
