NEWPORT NEWS, Va., April 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) hosted commencement exercises on Saturday for 154 graduates of the company’s Apprentice School at Newport News Shipbuilding. Due to the COVID-19 environment, and in an effort to keep all employees, staff, graduates and their guests safe, the ceremony was held outdoors at the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton.“A drive-in movie-style graduation is likely not what you expected, but I think it’s pretty safe to say that the past year in many ways isn’t what any of us expected,” said Jennifer Boykin, president of Newport News Shipbuilding.“Graduating from The Apprentice School is not an easy feat and when you couple the long hours balancing your work and your studies, along with new obstacles you faced this year, like remote learning and working with your entire family in the same area, it makes this accomplishment even more extraordinary,” Boykin told the graduates. “The lessons you’ve learned during the past year have molded you in a way unlike any other apprenticeship experience. The past 12 months, with all its twists and turns it’s brought, have helped train you for challenges yet to come. It is your ability to

Matt Higgins recently joined Benzinga’s “SPACs Attack” to discuss several topics, including the growth of the sports betting market. Sports Betting Change: Higgins counts vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins among his many roles. He also was an executive vice president of the New York Jets. Higgins told Benzinga it has been interesting seeing the dynamic change over sports betting in the NFL. In his early days with the New York Jets, Higgins wanted to do branded lottery tickets and pitched the idea to the league. The NFL said no, not wanting to be involved with the lottery. Years later, Higgins was able to get branded lottery tickets with the Miami Dolphins. Higgins said the sports betting market could be worth $30 billion at maturity in 2025. “I think it’s obviously here to stay,” Higgins said.

By David Bautz, PhD NASDAQ:EPIX READ THE FULL EPIX RESEARCH REPORT Business Update Additional Preclinical Data Presented at AACR 2021 On April 10, 2021, ESSA Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:EPIX) announced the presentation of encouraging preclinical data at the 2021 American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting. A copy of the presentation can be found here. The data presented by ESSA builds on previous preclinical research presented by the company showing that EPI-7386, the company’s lead small molecule inhibitor of the N-terminal domain, binds to the full-length androgen receptor (AR), inhibits the transcription of AR-driven genes, and interacts with the AR splice variant AR-V7 (which lacks the ligand binding domain and thus leads to resistance to the current anti-AR therapies). The following graphs show the results of reporter gene expression assays and a cell viability assay in CWR-R1 cells that express either full-length AR (CWR-R1-AD1) or the ARv567es splice variant (CWR-R1-D567), in which exons 5, 6, and 7 of the AR gene are deleted. Arv567es is one of two splice variants frequently found in human metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) samples and it typically portends rapid tumor progression (Hörnberg et al., 2011). The graph on the
