When he accepted the job as Davidson Day School’s first football coach in 2010, he was told there was space in an electrical closet. No problem. He could handle an electrical closet-turned football office. “It does get hot in here,” he says. But every inch of the tight space screams football. Photos of his first team at Davidson Day. School shirts. Equipment. And letters and notes from college coaches all around the country....
This is what just happened to the Jewish community. The Biden White House had announced last spring (and even before that), that the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) would deliver an important proposed regulation in December 2022. The regulation is supposed to implement the Executive Order on Combating Antisemitism, which former President Donald Trump had signed in 2019. This order had been a major milestone, codifying important rules under which Jewish students receive civil rights protections in American colleges and schools....
But in Syria, the U.S. military remains with no discernable exit plan. “Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria are three completely separate issues and should not be conflated,” a senior Biden administration official told Newsweek. “On Syria, we do not anticipate any changes right now to the mission or the footprint.” And that’s because the administration says the strategy is working as is. “As a reminder, in Syria, we are supporting Syrian Democratic Forces in their fight against ISIS,” the official said....
Perhaps the most painful messages I receive come from young Iranians who are part of Iran’s secretive LGBTQ community. They fear for their lives, especially if the government or neighbors discover their sexual orientation. The fear comes from the Iranian Ayatollah regime’s strict Shiite Islamic prohibition against homosexuality. Those deemed gay, lesbian or transgender are subject to arrest, torture or execution for their sexual preference by the regime’s authorities....
Part of the spending proposed in the bill is to go toward expanding broadband internet access. According to a fact sheet the White House released on Wednesday, the administration’s goal is to give all Americans access to high-speed internet that is both affordable and reliable. A senior administration official who referred to internet as the “electricity of the 21st century” explained some of the plan’s details during a conversation with reporters on Tuesday evening, before the bill was officially announced....
Ahead of the House vote, Biden told reporters last week that he “hope[s] that the [January 6 select] committee goes after them and holds them accountable,” referring to those, like Bannon, who have refused to comply with the subpoena to testify before the January 6 committee. When asked if they should face prosecution, Biden said, “I do, yes.” The president’s remarks raised concerns that he was applying political pressure to the department led by his appointee Attorney General Merrick Garland....
An analyst said politics and the policy that flow from growing worldwide interest in electric vehicles are likely to boost Tesla’s immediate prospects. “A Biden White House and blue Senate is a very bullish political backdrop and a potential ‘game changer’ for Tesla and the overall EV sector in the US, with a more green-driven agenda now certainly in the cards over the next few years,” Daniel Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles, said in a research note....
An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll conducted August 3 through 11 found that Biden is leading Trump 53 percent to 42 percent. Biden now leads by double digits, an increase from June’s poll that had put him at an 8-point advantage over Trump. The number of Americans who believe the coronavirus is a real threat has significantly risen over the past few months, the survey found. A total of 71 percent of respondents said they feared the virus—a statistic which comes as Trump continues to downplay its severity....
Indeed it is. But here’s another reason to wage that battle. A growing body of evidence is implicating obesity as a major risk factor for a seemingly endless roster of diseases: certain cancers, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, diabetes and gallbladder problems—even Alzheimer’s disease. When it comes to obesity and the brain, where you carry your weight may be a bigger risk factor for cognitive decline than how many extra pounds you’re packing....
“That game – it was grimy out there,” Shazier said. “That’s how we like to play. Once they started yacking and all that, we knew that’s the game we like to play. We fight during practice.

Worse, Musk’s closeness with the Cyberspace Administration of China raises important questions about whether Musk, who has a Giga factory in China and has taken over $1 billion in loans from the country, has fallen prey to China’s Military Civil Fusion disclosure laws. And the stakes are high: Is Musk supplying China with classified information he gains by working with the U.S. space program and other national security-sensitive projects?...
The B1G proof: The conference set a revenue record in 2018 at $759 million that shattered its previous mark with a 48 percent jump. The figure also exceeded the previous benchmark set by the SEC by almost $100 million, USA Today reported Wednesday, citing the Big Ten’s new federal tax return for the fiscal year. The staggering amount, even in today’s high-dollar world of major college athletics, represented a jump of just slightly less than a quarter-billion dollars from 2017, when the Big Ten reported $512....
Michigan State beat Stanford 24-20 in the 2014 Rose Bowl. Wisconsin had a 24-7 lead in the third quarter against LSU. Then a full-scale collapse led to a Badgers’ loss against the Tigers. That lowered the Big Ten’s record to 17-41 against ranked nonconference opponents since 2007. Predictable nickel-dime cheap shots followed. “So good to see that nothing has changed with Big Ten football,” ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum wrote on Twitter....
On Thursday, the Big Ten announced its men’s college basketball schedule for the 2022-23 season and there was one game that jumped off the page in particular. On February 14, 2023 — otherwise known as Valentine’s Day — Michigan will travel to take on Wisconsin in the Kohl Center for the first time since the two teams engaged in a postgame brawl last February. On a day that is supposed to be all about love, can Wolverines head coach Juwan Howard, Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard and Wisconsin associate head coach Joe Krabbenhoft put the past behind them?...

The website's ADP Report (average draft position) provides a nice snapshot of who's going where in the mock drafts held over the previous several days. The results aren't papal bull, as they're limited to standard, 5x5 leagues and are inevitably influenced by MDC's rankings, but they're still useful. With that in mind, here are five players who stood out to me as I scanned the latest ADP report. MORE FANTASY BASEBALL: Mock Draft analysis | Mock Draft gallery | Draft Kit...
