Marist’s Will Denny is certainly not the underdog anymore. The senior 157-pounder won his first state championship last season. He also made his mark nationally in October, winning the prestigious Super 32 Challenge in North Carolina and vaulting up to No. 1 in the Sports Illustrated national rankings. Denny, a North Carolina State recruit, is thus embracing a new mindset for the RedHawks. “It’s definitely very different,” Denny said. “I haven’t really been able to compete with that target on my back the way I have it now. It was definitely fun chasing to make that name for myself, but I’m super excited to see what I can do with the target on my back. “Hopefully, I get the best from every guy I face now.” Denny grew up wrestling, but most of his focus was on another sport. That started to change his first year of high school. “Wrestling has been a part of my life since I was young, but it was nothing special,” he said. “I was a football player and I loved football. “But ever since freshman year, when I didn’t make the podium at state, I’ve had that hunger. I was like, ‘If I truly want to be good at this, the talking is over and I’ve got to put the work into it.’” Marist’s Will Denny controls Barrington’s Rhenzo Augusto during the 150-pound bout in the Class 3A state meet at the State Farm Center in Champaign on Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024. (Vincent D. Johnson / Daily Southtown) Denny finished fourth as a sophomore before rising to the top last season, going 42-4 and winning the Class 3A state title at 150. At the Super 32, he was seeded fifth but beat top-seeded Melvin Miller of Pennsylvania in overtime in the championship match. He was named the tournament’s MVP for the upper weights. “That definitely was a big confidence booster,” Denny said. “I always knew I was a top guy. I went out there, and that was the first time at an event like that where I felt like I was wrestling as myself and not worrying about expectations. “I saw the outcome, so that was definitely a game changer for me. Now I know when I wrestle my match, no one can wrestle with me.” Jon Langham/Daily Southtown Marist’s Will Denny, right, gets tangled up with Sandburg’s Sammie Hayes at 120 pounds in the Class 3A Hinsdale Central Sectional final on Saturday, Feb. 12, 2022. (Jon Langham / Daily Southtown) Another key for Denny, as Marist coach Brendan Heffernan sees it, is avoiding complacency. “When he came back from Super 32, we talked to him a little bit about that mentality,” Heffernan said. “There’s not a whole lot left for him to do to prove himself, but he can’t be satisfied.” Senior Donavon Allen , who finished third at 138 last season, does not think that will be an issue. “We see how motivated he is,” Allen said of Denny. “Even after he wins, he’s still hungry. Even after state and Super 32, we all see how hungry he is. “That brings a lot of motivation to our room and our team.” Marist’s Will Denny, right, defends against West Aurora’s Dominic Serio at 150 pounds during the Class 3A Hinsdale Central Sectional finals on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2024. (Steve Johnston / Daily Southtown) Denny is just part of a loaded lineup that will make the RedHawks one of the favorites in Class 3A this season. Seniors Michael Esteban (Michigan State) and Ricky Ericksen were runners-up last season and part of seven state qualifiers who are returning. “I feel like this is our year to win a team state championship,” Ericksen said. “We have a lot of great wrestlers on this team. It’s just going to take a lot of hard work and discipline and sacrificing for the team.” In that regard, Denny is ready to lead the way. But as he sees it, it’s all about the ride now. “Over the summer, I realized I had been on a hamster wheel,” Denny said. “I was chasing a goal, and then when I accomplished it, I was finding another goal. I wanted to think more about having fun with it. “It’s about staying hungry but also staying happy and enjoying what I’m doing.”Trump taps Rollins as agriculture chief, completing proposed slate of Cabinet secretaries

It took just 90 seconds for United to score their first goal under Amorim after Amad Diallo, playing at right wing-back, picked out Marcus Rashford inside the box.

Instead, beauticians or “beauty therapists” — as some of them call themselves — are the ones performing invasive medical procedures at centres that are not equipped with proper medical facilities as required of clinics prescribed in the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998. Malay Mail checked on five aesthetic centres — big and small — around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor offering invasive medical procedures in the name of beauty, and discovered that doctors were not administering the treatments. When asked, these beauty centres confidently claimed that their staff possess adequate skill to operate lasers on certain skin conditions, even though the Ministry of Health (MOH) considers them as medical procedures as listed in its latest Guidelines on Aesthetic Medical Practice published in 2020. “For us, it’s clear: lasers and injectables are not allowed when done by beauticians," a senior official from the Health Ministry told Malay Mail when contacted. President of Registered Aesthetic Doctors Malaysia Dr Ungku Mohd Shahrin Ungku Mohd Zaman also confirmed that lasers and injectables cannot be administered by beauticians or “beauty therapists” as they are considered medical procedures. The Health Ministry has also never consented or authorised any surgical or invasive aesthetic procedures to be performed in beauty centres and such procedures must be done by a doctor who holds a Letter of Credentialing and Privileging (LCP) in aesthetic medicine in a registered clinic, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad said on November 4. Nonetheless, notable treatments at beauty centres include High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and “pico” and “carbon” lasers. “Pico” and “carbon” lasers are a type of laser used to treat certain skin conditions and often advertised as treatments at beauty centres. However, to Dr Ungku Mohd Shahrin, it’s just a brand that centres use to entice customers. Some centres are transparent about using lasers but some deny using them. An establishment denied using “pico” lasers for their treatments when asked and instead shared a video of their “alternative” technology. However, Dr Ungku Mohd Shahrin confirmed with Malay Mail that it was lasers. “HIFU, lasers, medium and deep chemical peel, injectables, surgical procedures... they can’t manage this. Beauticians cannot carry out the procedures that doctors carry out,” Dr Ungku Mohd Shahrin explained. Lasers are powerful medical devices used to perform medical procedures that should only be operated by qualified doctors and carried out in registered clinics that are well-equipped to deal with medical emergencies, not mere beauty centres. “If it is not done properly or the wrong setting is conducted, the power, the energy of the laser is not done well, it can burn the patient’s skin,” Dr Amelia Siah Siang Yee, founder of chain aesthetic clinic Aglow Clinic, explained. As many beauticians or beauty therapists have used lasers on clients, it may seem easy enough to operate. However, even qualified doctors with years of experience can make mistakes, said Dr Ruban Nathan, former chairman of the Cosmetic Dermatology & Laser Medicine Board under the Malaysian Dermatological Association. He called beauticians who administer medical procedures “very brave”. “I can teach a monkey how to do it, but can they handle the complications?” Dr Ruban asked. Dr Ungku Mohd Shahrin said the human body is delicate and prone to unpredictable reactions arising from certain procedures. He listed several examples such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is the darkening of a certain spot; scarring and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can also cause increased permeability of the skin cell that may result in other detrimental effects. He added that mishandling lasers can cause blindness and errors from HIFU treatments can cause permanent nerve damage. “Unless they are trained, certified to manage complications – they are medical doctors to begin with, then only they can perform these procedures,” he said. “Some of the devices that are there in medical and beauty centres are even much more expensive, have much higher specifications, more complex than what I have actually in my clinic,” he added. Lasers are medical devices that must be registered with the Medical Device Authority. However, a loophole in the rules allows non-medical practitioners to operate medical-grade lasers without a penalty as it is not a designated medical device under the Medical Device Act 2012. Unless lasers are designated medical devices under Section 26 of the Act, anyone without a permit can operate lasers without any repercussions. While there is no law that explicitly prohibits beauticians from administering lasers and similar treatments, it is possible for beauticians to be charged under Section 33 of the Medical Act 1971 which prohibits unqualified persons from practising medicine with a fine of not exceeding RM2,000 for a first-time offence, an MOH source said. The ministry, however, has not utilised this law to act against errant aesthetic centres. Although all the beauty centres Malay Mail contacted claimed to use medical-grade lasers, unbranded and unregistered lasers can also be purchased on e-commerce platforms for as low as RM1,600. However, all three doctors said that the price of medical-grade lasers were above RM100,000. Laser treatments are not the only procedure that is cause for concern; other procedures such as light chemical peels can also be dangerous as patients could develop anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction, and difficulty in breathing, Dr Ungku Mohd Shahrin said. “[At clinics] we have doctors who manage to inject with adrenaline, antihistamines, and the patient calms down. “What are you going to do if you are not trained as a medical professional? How are you going to treat that?” he asked. The legality of procedures and the status of registered clinics and doctors can be checked here .

Alabama and Mississippi tumbled out of the top 10 of The Associated Press Top 25 poll Sunday and Miami and SMU moved in following a chaotic weekend in the SEC and across college football in general. Oregon is No. 1 for the sixth straight week and Ohio State, Texas and Penn State held their places behind the Ducks, who are the last unbeaten team. The shuffling begins at No. 5, where Notre Dame returned for the first time since Week 2 after beating Army for its ninth straight win. No. 6 Georgia moved up two spots, No. 7 Tennessee and No. 8 Miami each got a three-rung promotion and No. 9 SMU jumped four places for its first top-10 ranking since 1985.

Indiana dropped from No. 5 to No. 10 following its first loss, a 38-15 defeat at Ohio State. The Buckeyes would play Oregon in the Big Ten championship game if they beat Michigan this Saturday for the first time in four years. The Southeastern Conference's hopes for landing four spots in the College Football Playoff took a hit with two of their teams losing as double-digit favorites. Texas, Georgia and Tennessee are the only SEC teams with fewer than three losses after Alabama lost 24-3 at Oklahoma and Mississippi lost 24-17 at Florida. Alabama and Mississippi each dropped six spots in the AP poll, the Crimson Tide to No. 13 and the Rebels to No. 15. Texas A&M was the third SEC team to lose, 43-41 at Auburn in four overtimes. The Aggies tumbled five places to No. 20 but would play Georgia in the SEC championship game if they knock off Texas this week.

No. 17 Iowa State earned a five-rung promotion with its win at Utah. BYU is No. 19 and Colorado, which lost to Kansas , is No. 23.
