In just over two weeks, Commissioner 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.500 Roger Goodell is expected to commence the 2026 00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:52.720 National Football League draft in Pittsburgh 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.220 by announcing that the Raiders are selecting 00:04:55.220 --> 00:04:58.339 Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the 00:04:58.339 --> 00:05:02.300 number one pick. Mendoza, however, is not expected 00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:05.279 to be there to join Goodell on stage and pose 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.850 with his new team jersey and cap. According to 00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:12.370 Adam Schefter of ESPN, Mendoza has informed the 00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:14.529 National Football League that he will not be 00:05:14.529 --> 00:05:16.990 attending the draft in person because he plans 00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:19.470 to celebrate with his family in Miami instead. 00:05:20.170 --> 00:05:22.829 Though many presumed number one picks choose 00:05:22.829 --> 00:05:25.189 to attend the draft in person for the experience, 00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:28.610 Mendoza is far from the first opt out of going 00:05:28.610 --> 00:05:33.050 to the event. In local sports, the Pirates topped 00:05:33.050 --> 00:05:37.170 the Padres 7 -1 on Tuesday night. with Paul Skeens 00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:39.889 delivering a strong performance, heaping San 00:05:39.889 --> 00:05:43.709 Diego hitless until the sixth inning. Skeens 00:05:43.709 --> 00:05:46.810 struck out six and walked two over six in one 00:05:46.810 --> 00:05:49.670 -third innings, lowering his earned run average 00:05:49.670 --> 00:05:54.790 to 5 .54. Fernando Tatis Jr. finally broke through 00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:57.529 with a single in the sixth, while Xander Gogarts 00:05:57.529 --> 00:06:00.209 hit the first home run off a Pirates starter 00:06:00.209 --> 00:06:03.420 this season in the seventh. O 'Neal Cruz and 00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:06.540 Nick Gonzalez drove in four runs in a five -run 00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:09.459 eighth, as the Pirates secured their sixth win 00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:13.120 in seven games. The series concludes today starting 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.540 at 9 .30 a .m., with Michael King starting for 00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:21.480 the Friars against Mitch Keller. In top news, 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.259 surprising links between autism and Alzheimer's 00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:29.720 could change how we treat both. The idea that 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.139 two conditions at opposite ends of life might 00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:34.779 be biologically linked is beginning to append 00:06:34.779 --> 00:06:37.279 long -standing assumptions in brain science. 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:42.300 Joseph Fuchsbaum was initially unconvinced. When 00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:44.540 early hints of a connection between autism and 00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:47.100 Alzheimer's began to appear in the medical literature 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:50.660 a few years ago, they struck him as implausible. 00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:54.420 But the signals kept accumulating, and over time, 00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:57.560 his skepticism gave way to a new line of inquiry. 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.620 I came to this kicking and screaming. I didn't 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:05.139 want to believe it, said Buxbaum. Autism has 00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:08.220 long been treated almost exclusively as a childhood 00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:14.220 condition. In business news, the 60 -40 restaurant 00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:17.279 rule is breaking, and it is not because the food 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.019 got worse. GLP -1 drugs have reduced millions 00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:23.899 of customers' appetites, but that is not the 00:07:23.899 --> 00:07:27.529 only culprit in the profit crunch. Many ancient 00:07:27.529 --> 00:07:30.050 rules in certain industries have outlived their 00:07:30.050 --> 00:07:33.290 value, such as spilling salt or whistling in 00:07:33.290 --> 00:07:36.449 the kitchen. Operators now view these beliefs 00:07:36.449 --> 00:07:40.490 as mere superstitions. However, no one in the 00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:42.829 food service industry has questioned the core 00:07:42.829 --> 00:07:45.629 proposition that a restaurant needs a ratio of 00:07:45.629 --> 00:07:49.569 60 % drinks to 40 % food to succeed long -term. 00:07:50.189 --> 00:07:54.829 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged. at 00:07:54.829 --> 00:08:00.970 $69 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to just over $2 00:08:00.970 --> 00:08:09.470 ,000. And XRP is down 1 % to $1 .32. Moving on 00:08:09.470 --> 00:08:13.589 to a more local vibe.

In an announcement on Tuesday, 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.159 Intel stated it would collaborate with these 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:21.019 companies to design, fabricate, and package ultra 00:09:21.019 --> 00:09:24.470 -high -performance chips at scale. The partnership 00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:27.350 is a significant win for Intel, which has faced 00:09:27.350 --> 00:09:30.350 challenges in recent years, leading to cuts in 00:09:30.350 --> 00:09:34.090 production capacity. Last year, the Trump administration 00:09:34.090 --> 00:09:37.870 secured an equity stake in Intel for around $9 00:09:37.870 --> 00:09:42.149 billion. As of March 20th, the U .S. government 00:09:42.149 --> 00:09:49.610 held 8 .4 % of Intel's outstanding shares.
