None of them did what LSU’s Leonard Fournette has done this season. After rushing for 233 yards and three touchdowns in LSU’s 44-22 win over Eastern Michigan Saturday in Baton Rouge, the sophomore now has rushed for 200-plus yards in three straight games. No SEC running back, not Walker, Jackson, Smith, or even former LSU great Billy Cannon, has ever gone over 200 yards three games in a row....
Les Miles made it clear Monday that he has no hard feelings against the school that fired him a day earlier, four games into his 12th season as head coach in Baton Rouge.

Russian President Vladimir Putin waited only six months before switching from a special military operation to full scale war against Ukraine. Putin’s initial assault was limited to barely 150,000 troops. He expected a quick victory followed by negotiations on his principal concerns: Russian control of Crimea, Ukrainian neutrality, and autonomy for the Russian population in the Donbas, but he was wrong. Putin had not counted on Ukraine’s stiff resistance or the West’s massive military and economic intervention....
President, Brown University So often in the workplace, women assume that they have to be just like everybody else, and downplay whatever is unique about them. I think it’s just the opposite. Whatever I’ve accomplished in my life, I’ve done it precisely because I have been different. I have expressed different opinions, and I have been outspoken. I don’t have any regrets about what remained unsaid or unspoken. The regrets I have are about decisions that I didn’t take because I thought somebody else knew better....
UNDERHILL: More than 25 years after Britain joined the EU there still seems to be a general suspicion of the entire European project in this country. What’s your explanation? HEATH: I don’t believe the suspicion exists in the minds of the majority of the British public and certainly not in the minds of the younger generation. But we’ve got a large section of the media which, very largely because of directions from its ownership, attacks every aspect of the European Union....
In sports, fans usually love a good a comeback story. Unless it seems too good to be true. Unless they’re sure that other shoe-drop is pending. In Eric Thames’ case, a lot of baseball people seem sure that footwear is in mid-plummet. But let’s cool it with the conspiracy theories and the assumption of chemical aides, and just enjoy the idea that it sometimes takes a while for athletes, particularly baseball players, to find success....
France has discovered the pursuit of happiness. Faced with a rising tide of woes-from the terror bombings that continue to rock Pads (seven since July 25) to the first general strike in almost 10 years, which dosed schools, airports and post offices last week–the French are increasingly looking for a quick fix a I’americaine. They’d already succumbed to the lure of fast food and “Baywatch.” Now more than 400,000 of the French take Prozac; 2 million take other psychotropic drugs....
Thank God for Subway 8/08/04 Hey everyone, Just a quick note. I found an opening at the internet cafe so I jumped on it. I am in Kuwait and doing fine. We got here at 326 am and it was 98 degrees. I have sand in every orifice thanks to the storm that came while we were getting our bags. and I saw my first camel outside of the zoo today....
Hundreds of thousands of loyal fans have rallied around the television personality in his bid to take over as host of the beloved quiz show following the death of the late Alex Trebek. The petition was started in November on Change.org where it surged to 50,000 signatures within a week. Now, renewed interested in Burton’s bid to stand behind the podium has reignited as the show continues to air with a roster of celebrity guest hosts....
Lexapro is thought to improve mood by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter in the brain called serotonin. Although generally safe to take, Lexapro does have a boxed warning, the most serious warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults. Taking antidepressants for major depressive disorder and other disorders can increase this risk in these patients. However, Lexapro is not approved for use in children less than 12 years of age....
Sloane Stephens voiced her approval for the 19-year-old, Canadian-born Fernandez after she pulled off her third-straight stunning upset, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) over fifth-seeded Elina Svitolina on Tuesday at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York. Fernandez entered the Open as the No. 73-ranked player on the WTA Tour but has gone on a dramatic, and captivating, run to her first semifinal appearance at a Grand Slam event. She’s stunned three of the game’s best: defending champion and third-seeded Naomi Osaka, No....
But that diversity is not celebrated everywhere in the U.S., let alone in nearby countries. Human Rights watch reports that the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in Central America have the highest reported murder rates of LGBTQ+ people in the world. Hundreds of migrants from the Triangle continue to make the perilous trip north as they flee sexual-orientation and gender-based violence. The region also ranks the highest in rates per capita of LGBTQ+ asylum seekers arriving in the United States....
Over the spring and summer of 2020, thousands of businesses were looted, damaged, or totally destroyed during the George Floyd protests—especially here, where Floyd was killed. Every day we read heartbreaking stories of business owners begging and pleading with rioters to spare their livelihoods, many of them uninsured, pleas that went unheeded. There was over $2 billion in property damage. And yet, to follow the mainstream news, you’d be forgiven for thinking the destruction of cities across the country—the decimation of small businesses, many of them owned by lower income people of color—wasn’t the biggest story of violence in recent history....
Charlie Studdy came across This Way To The Tomb, a play by Ronald Duncan, while tidying up a bookcase at his house, and discovered it was due back on July 17, 1946. It is believed the book was borrowed by his late mother, Eileen Hoyle, who he said was an avid reader, when she returned home to Haworth in West Yorkshire, England, from university. It had been on the library’s shelves for less than a month and had only been borrowed once prior to being taken out by Hoyle....
Scroll on 12 months and Silicon Valley is in midinquisition about who lost the dot-com empire. Rolling blackouts encourage a reflective mood. Property prices are realistic again, and seats in good restaurants are easy to get–avec parking. And suddenly, now, the state has a surplus of power and even sells the stuff across its border. So what, as they say around here, was all that about? This vertiginous alternation between public and private crisis must satisfy some need in the Californian soul....
$30,000,000,000,000.00 Clearly, members of the political class are eager to keep spending us into more and more debt. The question is, what do they have to show for all the spending? What have we to show for it? For us, the political class has purchased moral rot. After decades of social programs that incentivize idleness and irresponsibility, we now have a progressive culture that features historic high rates of social pathologies, including personal and substance abuse, neglect, depression, suicide, fatherlessness and random murders....
That’s exactly what happened Tuesday night in Tampa where Tyler Johnson notched the fourth hat trick of his career to lead the first-overall Lightning to a 5-4 win over the visiting Hurricanes, whose three-promotion food giveaway was dubbed the “Fat Trick” by a hockey fan on Reddit. The rare trifecta was set into motion when ‘Canes defenseman Justin Faulk scored a power play goal to tie the game, 3-3, at 10:36 of the second period....
The outspoken “Industry Baby” singer handled his loss pretty well as he instantly made a joke that threatened to break the internet. Lil Nas X had an all round eventful night out at the Grammys in Las Vegas, and he made sure to document it all on his Twitter account. After the ceremony had finished and he realized he’d lost all five categories he was up for, Lil Nas X tweeted, “can’t believe i lost all my grammys....
They had to weather a storm at times, but they were able to hold firm away to Lille. The visitors would’ve known they were in for a forceful start before the game even kicked off, with the home fans in full voice. As Thomas Tuchel predicted, Lille’s approach was aggressive. They defense was camped on the halfway line as they tried to hem Chelsea in. They did a good job of restricting Chelsea who, in hindsight, probably set up a little too conservatively, but the hosts failed to create many opportunities of note....
