By Emma Healy, The Boston Globe For the first time in over a year, Caitlin Clark has time to relax. But that doesn’t mean she’s going to. Between offseason workouts and public appearances, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is staying busy. “I like it that way,” she said. “I don’t want to get bored.” Clark, recently named TIME’s athlete of the year , was a keynote speaker at the Massachusetts Conference for Women, held Thursday at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Here are a few takeaways from her conversation with “Good Morning America” co-host and Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer Robin Roberts. She sees more media coverage as the league’s next step Partly as a result of Clark’s success, the WNBA exploded in popularity this season. A record 54 million unique viewers tuned in to watch the WNBA across its national broadcasting platforms during the regular season, and the league’s attendance jumped 48 percent from the previous year. “People are wanting to get in now, which is really smart because the price is only going up,” Clark said. “I don’t blame them. Maybe they should have gotten in a few years ago. They would have made a great return on their investment.” The league signed an 11-year, $2.2 billion media rights deal in July, which Clark said is essential in the WNBA’s continued growth. “The more we can play on national television and be more accessible to people to be able to watch is going to be really important,” Clark said. “When people really gave it a chance, they couldn’t get enough of it.” She has no trouble staying focused Clark has never been one for false humility. So when Roberts asked how she stays focused and doesn’t get swept up in the chaos around her, Clark’s answer was unsurprising. “I think I’m like, really good at that, actually,” Clark said, drawing laughter from the crowd of about 11,000. Clark knows she is in this position because of her competitive fire and desire to win. She reminds herself that she loves playing basketball, which makes it easy for her to focus when it’s time to compete. “There’s so many people that would love to be in my shoes,” Clark said. “So just reminding myself how lucky I am, that usually puts a smile on my face.” She didn’t walk at her college graduation Clark hasn’t had a break since the beginning of her senior year at Iowa in the fall of 2023. Less than a month after leading the Hawkeyes to a second straight NCAA Tournament championship game , she was drafted first overall by the Fever and moved to Indianapolis. She jumped right into practice and made her WNBA debut in May, just a few days after Iowa’s graduation ceremony. “I never even walked for college graduation,” she said. After the Sun knocked the Fever out of the playoffs in September, Clark, for the first time in over a year, had time to reflect. “It’s kind of crazy to think about that and how much my life has changed from that point,” Clark said. “Just trying to soak that in and reflect back on the special year that it was.” If not for basketball, she might be a restaurateur Clark said a lot of the best moments of her childhood were centered around a good meal, as her mother, Anne, is an excellent cook. She recalled driving past a plot of land in her hometown of Des Moines, Iowa, and telling her mother she hoped to build a restaurant there some day. The plot, she said, has since been developed. “I think that dream has been crushed,” she said with a smile. “I’ll have to find something else.” Get the latest Boston sports news Receive updates on your favorite Boston teams, straight from our newsroom to your inbox.

The Yomiuri Shimbun 7:00 JST, November 27, 2024 * * Motohiko Saito, 47, was reelected as the governor of Hyogo Prefecture on Nov. 17 after having been ousted from the post in September when the prefectural assembly unanimously passed a no-confidence motion against him over accusations of harassment. On the evening of the election day, people who had gathered in the area around his campaign office in a shopping district in Kobe’s Chuo Ward were extremely excited following his victory. The 10-meter-wide shopping arcade was packed with his supporters for dozens of meters, and people called out Saito’s name repeatedly as if they were at a concert. “The web has won!” a 43-year-old man from Saitama Prefecture shouted while live streaming the situation on YouTube. The man runs the “Fukumaro Net News Channel” on the video-sharing website. While working as a company employee, he used to live stream his commentaries on games on his channel but was unable to get many views. However, the number of views suddenly increased three years ago after he posted videos of Diet debates that he had edited. Having begun to receive several hundred thousand yen in advertising revenue per month, the man became a full-time “political YouTuber.” While continuing to produce videos, he visited places around the country where elections were being held. In July, he followed Shinji Ishimaru, 42, a former mayor of Akitakata, Hiroshima Prefecture, who ran in the Tokyo gubernatorial election. The man said he had no particular interest in Saito, but started gathering information on him on X, formerly Twitter, after seeing a post in support of Saito on the social media site in September by a celebrity he follows. The man said he then began to question the remarks that commentators made against Saito on TV. Through social media, the man also felt growing public interest in Saito and the issues surrounding him, so he decided to follow Saito for his YouTube channel. He went to Hyogo Prefecture one day before the official kickoff of campaigning for the gubernatorial election. Spending nights in his car, he live streamed Saito’s speeches. Considering the costs, the man said it was a “gamble” as to whether the videos would make a profit. But the number of views his channel received increased day by day, and topped 1.7 million on the day of the vote. “I earned the highest profit ever. It’s all thanks to Saito,” he said. The man distributed more than 80 videos during the campaign period. He also streamed videos of Takashi Tachibana, 57, another candidate in the Hyogo election and the head of the political group NHK Party, making remarks that are difficult to verify. “I do think there is information that hasn’t been confirmed to be true,” the YouTuber said. “But I’m fine as long as my viewers are pleased.” According to the Net Communication Research Institute, a think tank specializing in social media analysis, there were many YouTube channels supporting Saito, and the number of views of at least 13 exceeded those of Saito’s own YouTube channel. On social media sites, advertising revenue increases based on the number of views. For this reason, attracting attention is often considered to be more important than accuracy or fairness — a characteristic of what is called the “attention economy.” “There are believed to have been videos made for profit [in relation to the Hyogo election],” said Yoshimi Nakamura, the head of the research institute. “With the success of live streamers in the election, competition for attention is likely to intensify in future polls.” The spread of interest in Saito can also be seen in posts on X. The Yomiuri Shimbun asked Prof. Fujio Toriumi of the University of Tokyo, who specializes in computational social science, to analyze the posts on X during the campaign period from Oct. 31 to Nov. 16. It found that the number of posts mentioning Saito during these dates was 1.6 times greater than the total number of posts mentioning the other six candidates. Such posts were spread by a small number of accounts. Of about 990,000 posts that showed support for Saito, about 490,000 posts were based on 786 original posts from just 16 accounts. The 16 accounts made up only 0.9% of the total accounts that were related to the 990,000 posts favoring Saito. The Yomiuri Shimbun found that some of the posts were difficult to verify with evidence. For example, some of them linked the death of a prefectural official who accused Saito of workplace bullying and other allegations with the official’s personal information, which was unrelated to the accusation and was stored on an official computer. However, the police said they could not determine the reason for the official’s death. “It had been believed that the relationship between the spread of social media and elections in Japan is weak, but this time, it is considered that it had a certain impact on voting behavior,” Toriumi said. “People should approach social media with the assumption that there is misinformation on it, and we should discuss the role of social media in elections as a society.”Patient Monitoring Devices Market Size: Strong Growth Ahead (2024-2032) 12-24-2024 05:27 PM CET | Health & Medicine Press release from: Cognate Insights Patient Monitoring Devices Market Latest Market Overview The global patient monitoring devices market is expected to reach USD 57.5 billion in 2024 and grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% from 2024 to 2032.
