Edinburgh playoffs in doubt after scraping their way to a draw in Parma
Zebre Parma 25 – Edinburgh 25 Despite spending most of the opening quarter in their 22, Edinburgh were able to score the first points of the match after Fusco was caught offside at the scrum. With the pressure Zebre were applying it was only a matter of time before they reaped the rewards. A lovely show and go right in front of Edinburgh's line by the scrum half, Fusco, left an unaware Darcy Rae for dust. A missed conversion leaves the score 5-3. Zebre's errors proved costly once more after an advantage in their 22 gifted Edinburgh three points. It was a sniping masterclass from Alessandro Fusco as he picked up his second try from the back of a nice maul after Zebre went to the corner. Zebre showed tremendous game management during the ten-minutes with 14 men. For Edinburgh, after 35 minutes they had implemented no real pressure with Zebre forcing errors through intelligent defending. HT: Zebre Parma 12 – 6 Edinburgh Following an excellent break into the 22 Zebre caught Edinburgh off guard in the first minute of the first half. Excellent attacking shape allowed Zebre to move it wide for Trulla to dive over in the corner. Zebre's momentum continued as star man Fusco flew up on Rae forcing Edinburgh to go for the quick pass which resulted in a knock on by youngster Jack Brown. A malfunctioned Edinburgh lineout five meters out saw Boan Venter charge through Zebre defenders like an angry bull and dot down for the try. Some much-needed relief came for Edinburgh as veteran Hamish Watson made an excellent steal followed by a Zebre infringement allowed them to get out of their 22. Edinburgh's shining light, Boan Venter, turned the contest in to a one-point game as he made his way through two defenders to reach over the line once again. Just as Edinburgh looked as if they were making headway in this game Muncaster was yellow carded for a dangerous no arms tackle. A Zebre siege was repelled by an imposing Edinburgh defence and a Jack Brown intercept who really impressed on his first start for Edinburgh. Zebre took no chances as Montemauri pushed over two penalties in the final ten minutes to gain a seven-point lead. Just as the Sharks did last week, Edinburgh persisted right till the end. Paterson led them up the pitch finding Graham who flung it to Currie finished nicely in the corner in the eightieth minute. Cammy Scott, who's in his first year as a professional, struck the conversion beautifully to draw the game. This result has made the 'race for eight' even more tense than before with already every point invaluable, this injury riddled Edinburgh team will now have to bring something special to Galway if they want to secure their play off spot. This will challenge will be heightened as they face a clinical Bath side next week in the Challenge cup semi-final at home. FULL TIME: Zebre 25 – 25 Edinburgh Yellow cards: Edinburgh – (65') Zebre – Re (18') Scoring timeline (Edinburgh first): 3-0, 3-5, 6-5, 6-12, HT, 6-19, 11-19, 18-19, 18-22, 18-25, 25-25, FT Referee: Ben Connor Teams: Edinburgh – 70'), 68'), 65'), 46'), ( 73'), 69'), 63'), 53'), Zebre Parma – 70'), Bartolomeo( 63'), 50'), 62'), 62'), 56'), Re(Montemauri 68'), 73'), Like this: Like Related

For a Family That Lost 5 Loved Ones, ‘Covid Will Never Be Over'
The quality that made the tightly knit Fusco family great was the very thing that exacted the harshest price. Two dozen or so relatives had gathered five years ago for dinner, as they often did. They talked loudly, hugged and shared food, unaware of the virus that filled the air in a kitchen in New Jersey and was about to dig its deadly spikes into the fabric of life in the United States. Within days, four of the Fuscos were dead. At the time, only nine deaths had been attributed to Covid-19 in New Jersey, a state that has recorded more than 36,000 virus-related fatalities since the start of the pandemic. Their names and photos flashed in headlines across the globe in March 2020 as their story became an object lesson about the potency of the virus and the importance of adhering to a then-foreign concept of social distancing. The world has mostly moved on, though people continue to die of the virus every day. But for the surviving Fuscos, a ghostlike companion has hovered over many of the intervening 1,823 days. 'Every day, you get up, and you're like, 'Did this really happen?'' said Maria Reid, who spent weeks on a ventilator fighting for life. 'And then you're like, 'Yeah. It happened.'

LNG exporter Cheniere looking to expand under Trump, CEO says
Feb 20 (Reuters) - U.S. liquefied natural gas exporter Cheniere Energy (LNG.N), opens new tab plans to aggressively pursue new regulatory permits to expand capacity now that U.S. President Donald Trump is in office, the company's CEO, Jack Fusco, said on Thursday. The approach comes as Cheniere, America's top shipper of the super-chilled fuel, forecast 2025 profits below analyst estimates following a year of moderated prices in the tight global market. "We intend to strategically pursue permits to ensure the long-term growth optionality of Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi," Fusco said, referring to the company's big export terminals. Fusco described the Trump administration's pro-energy policies as refreshing and said Cheniere needs to take the opportunity to secure regulatory certainty. Trump, on his first day in office in January, issued an order to resume processing export permit applications for new LNG projects. Fusco said Cheniere plans to double its current production of LNG to 90 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) by building more export facilities at Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi, both in Texas. LNG is natural gas supercooled to a liquid before being shipped. While supporters say it can help some economies quit using coal, many environmentalists say LNG locks consumers into fossil fuel dependence for decades and that LNG once regassified can leak methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from pipelines. Trump has declared an energy emergency with a promise to reduce regulatory challenges and encourage high U.S. energy production and exports. Construction on Cheniere Energy's Corpus Christi Stage 3 LNG export facility is ahead of schedule, and all the equipment has been delivered, reducing the risk of import tariffs that Trump has imposed on some countries. Cheniere said it is expecting up to 2 million metric tonnes of LNG to be produced from Stage 3 by the end of the year. In its 2025 outlook Cheniere said it expected core profit to be below Wall Street expectations. Cheniere expects adjusted core profit between $6.5 billion and $7 billion for 2025, the midpoint end of which is below analysts' average expectation of $6.83 billion, according to LSEG data. TD Cowen analysts said though the forecast missed estimates, they expect the guidance to increase through the year based on LNG's track record. The LNG market remained relatively tight in 2024 as a result of low supply capacity growth, strong demand outside Europe and continued geopolitical tensions, Cheniere reported. But despite the favorable market conditions, annual spot prices were overall lower in 2024 than in 2023. Even if Trump is able to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, Europe will still require significant U.S. LNG, predicted Cheniere's executive vice president, Anatol Feygin. Cheniere reported a 67% slump in net income, a 30% decline in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization while revenue fell 23% in 2024 compared with 2023. The company also blamed the results on some unfavorable accounting changes. The company reported LNG revenue of $14.89 billion for the year ended December 31, compared with $19.56 billion in 2023. Cheniere said it is banking on the expected completion of the Corpus Christi expansion project this year to increase supplies of LNG. Cheniere said it produced first LNG from the expansion project in December and its first cargo in February. Cheniere has signed several long-term LNG sales agreements with companies including a recent supply deal with Indian Oil Corp ( opens new tab.
