Brooklyn punk scene. Located near Madison on

Now on to sports. Paul Pierce, the Basketball
Hall of Famer, proved he is a man of his word.
After the Boston Celtics lost Game 2 of the Eastern
Conference Semifinals to the New York Knicks,
Pierce walked 20 miles to work at the Fox Sports
1 studios in a bathrobe. The Celtics blew a 20
-point lead, losing the game 91 -90. This eight
-hour trek was shared on Instagram, highlighting
Pierce's dedication to his promise. With the
Knicks now leading the series 2 -0, it may be
wise for Pierce to avoid making any further bets
during the playoffs. In local sports... Tonight
in Denver, the Friars face the Rockies at Coors
Field for Game 1 of a three -game series. Randy
Vasquez takes the mound for the Padres with an
ERA of 1 .67, while Colorado counters with Antonio
Sensatella, sporting an ERA of 5 .50. First pitch

news. Bloating can be an uncomfortable experience
for many. Health experts suggest that dandelion
tea made from the plant's leaves, flowers, or
roots may offer relief. Elizabeth Katzmann, a
functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner,
explains that bloating can be caused by factors
like food intolerances and hormonal fluctuations.
Dandelion tea acts as a diuretic, increasing
urine output and helping to flush excess water
from the body, particularly beneficial for bloating
due to high sodium intake. Additionally, this
tea is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and may
support liver health. Always consult your health
care provider before adding it to your routine.
In business news... Former cryptocurrency evangelist
Alex Mashinsky has received a 12 -year prison
sentence after pleading guilty to fraud linked
to the multibillion -dollar collapse of his firm
Celsius Network. Once managing over $20 billion,
Celsius promised customers returns of up to 18
.6 % on crypto deposits. Prosecutors sought a
20 -year sentence, citing devastating losses
for many victims. Mashinsky misled investors
about the firm's reliability and falsely propped
up the price of his company's token. He ultimately
profited $48 million from token sales, funding
a lavish lifestyle while his customers faced
financial ruin. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is
up 9 % for the week to about $103 ,000. Ethereum
is up 23%. to just over $2 ,200. And Goat Seas
Maximus is up 31 % to $0 .09. Moving on to a

folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
