Auburn scored its first touchdown early in the first quarter with three crisp pass completions and then did very little offensively until the fourth quarter. Cal's Fernando Mendoza had a much better game than Auburn's Payton Thorne. Mendoza had two touchdown passes and 233 yards...

Where you live may influence your eating and health habits more than you think. Do you savor every meal or squeeze in a sandwich during your commute? Are you more likely to indulge in comfort foods while watching your favorite show or try new foods dining out with friends? Personality plays a part, but a 2024 Hims study shows regionality may also play a significant role in eating behavior. Hims compares America's most anxious, automatic, enthusiastic, escapist, and uplifting foodie capitals....
As Russell B. Laine, the Chief of Police of Algonquin, Illinois and the President of the International Association of the Chiefs of Police has stated, "Without community support, law enforcement agencies cannot succeed."

Three months ago the Boeing Starliner launched into space to take two astronauts, Butch Williams and Suni Wilmore, and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Butch and Suni were supposed to return in eight. Three months have gone by and they are still there. The Alabama built Boeing Starliner returned on Friday night – without Butch and Suni. They will await the arrive of SpaceX's Dragon9 mission – join that team and then return to Earth in February – eight months later than original...
In today's media landscape, liberal commentators like Roland Martin, Dan Wolken, and others have increasingly pressured athletes, particularly Black student-athletes, to conform to a specific political agenda and condemned their coaches who disagree. This plantation-style mentality assumes that all Black Americans should align with a singular viewpoint, in this case, unwavering support for Kamala Harris. It is an inherently condescending stance that strips these individuals of their agency and d...
Although overall duck numbers are up in the latest Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey, those waterfowlers who hunt the special teal season better plan to take full advantage of this year's early season of 16 days, set for September 14-29. Seth Maddox of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' (ADCNR) Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division said this year's survey indicated a downturn in blue-winged teal numbers, and the 2025 special teal season will...
One of the major issues in this year’s presidential election has been the increase in grocery prices. Actually, over the past three and a half years, the price of food has gone up by some 22 percent. Thus, everyone is paying attention to how much they spend to put dinner on the table for their families. Alabama leaders made an effort two years ago to help consumers' wallets and pocketbooks by reducing the grocery tax by 1 percent on September 1, 2023. A second 1 percent was to be reduced this S...

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, huge supporters of Shomari Figures, has just put forth an agenda so radical that it threatens to dismantle the very essence of our nation. Under the guise of progress and reform, this agenda seeks to impose a sweeping, government-controlled overhaul of healthcare, housing, and Financial Institutions. It aims to redistribute wealth on an unprecedented scale, undermining the principles of free enterprise and individual liberty that have defined America for...
The devastating financial toll of paying for urgent medical costs can take years or even a lifetime for some families to recover from. Set your browser to gofundme.com, and chances are the first donor cause you see will be someone asking for help to pay their medical bills. Around a third of campaigns on the crowdfunding platform are for medical bills. In some ways, this is unsurprising: Health care is extremely expensive in America. Data compiled by the Organization for Economic Cooperation...
When we follow natural law - we are obeying God. Just let that settle in and be at peace for a few moments free breathing. God has even given you His name in a format that describes “wind”, “breath” or a “7 fold Spirit” which is how we experience the Holy Spirit. Do you have the peace of living a 7 fold virtuous life - at least by being aware of the proactive expectations? Point being - to gain peace that our lives are “short-lived” but when you honor natural law it is an investment in t...
(September 4, 2024) Want a Get Out Of Jail Free card? All you have to do is move to a sanctuary city and tell the cops you’re an illegal! “Because we’re a sanctuary city. I’ve arrested a double homicide suspect in this city before and let him walk out the door because we’re in a sanctuary city. We’re not going to call ICE to come pick up and deport him.” The above quote comes from a video that blew up the internet this weekend, and was made by a cop speaking to a man who was trying to rep...
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (SEP. 6, 2024) – Until recently, it was believed that human urine is sterile, but advanced culturing techniques and DNA sequencing have revealed that bacteria and other microbes – such as viruses and fungi – inhabit the human bladder and urinary tract, known collectively as the "urobiome." Now in a study that is one of the first of its kind, Dr. Tanya Sysoeva, an associate professor of microbiology at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Al...

Hora, founder of the Center for Research on College-Workforce Transitions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Hee Song, a project assistant at the center spoke to The Conversation about the difficulties that students face in securing quality internships.

For many, retirement is the reward after decades of working and raising a family. The coronavirus pandemic also helped many realize that time could be fleeting. About 2.6 million more people than expected retired during the pandemic for various reasons, including health and safety and increases in asset value, according to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Still, deciding where to spend that precious time can be tough. Stacker compiled a list of the 50 best places to retire...

You're not just limited to pumpkin spice lattes this year—there are all kinds of apple, almond, and chai-inspired concoctions to choose from.

(September 11, 2024) The Harris/Trump debate was painful to watch, but I did. If you didn’t, count yourself lucky. I’d have to call it a draw. But, considering it was 3:1 Harris & the moderators against Trump, I’d say Trump did pretty well. It was blatantly obvious from the outset that the moderators were actively helping Harris and attacking Trump. They were fact-checking Trump in real time while letting Harris’ plethora of lies pass unremarked, among other things. Naturally, social media w...
Based on the book, “Letter to the American Church”, by bestselling author Eric Metaxas, a Yale graduate who grew up in the Greek Orthodox Church, “Letter to the American Church – the Movie” is the big screen version of the book that is produced by the author himself. The author believes so strongly in the message of the documentary that he is offering screenings of the movie to Churches for free. It normally is accompanied by a fee if one rents it online. But, as Metaxas states, he is so “convi...
