12:15 p.m., Chapel Hill The college road trips I mentioned in my preview of today’s road trip all started with the same song. We couldn’t pull onto the highway without hearing the opening notes of “Today” by Smashing Pumpkins (yes, this was the mid-’90s).

College Pulse, a data and survey analytics company, and Chegg, an education technology company, launched an “Election Tracker” in March. Since its launch, they’ve asked college students on a weekly basis to select the candidate they’d most like to see as the Democratic nominee for president. Sanders was college students’ top pick since polls were first released on March 26, but he fell to second place on Tuesday, being replaced by Warren as students’ first choice....
In a recent Twitter post that has now amassed more than 150,000 likes, user Chloe Clinton (@__chloeclinton) revealed she had to bring her baby daughter Elsie to class as she didn’t have a babysitter that week. “I didn’t have a babysitter last week so I had to bring Elsie to college and she started getting agitated so my teacher took her off me and taught the class with her in her arms,” the tweet read....
We’re through the Regionals and Super Regionals and on to the College World Series starting this weekend in Omaha. College World Series 2016: Schedule | Odds If you haven’t really followed the action much, here are five things you can throw out there, courtesy of NCAA.com, as the four games (3 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday) get things rolling in Nebraska. 1.

The mountain, about 30 miles west of Denver, will be renamed Mestaa’ėhehe (pronounced mess-taw-HAY) Mountain, and honors a translator also known at the time as Owl Woman, who was responsible for mediating between Native Americans and white settlers around southern Colorado. The word “squaw” from the Algonquin language once likely just referred to a woman, but over time it has become more associated with racist and misogynistic attacks on Native American women....
Boyle’s Buffaloes had been eliminated from the NCAA Tournament by Florida State, but he knew the result was well beyond a secondary concern. The coaches and players learned before heading to Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis that there had been a mass shooting Monday afternoon in Boulder, where the CU campus is located. They saw and heard the details later: Boulder police said at least 10 people, including a city police officer, were shot dead at a local supermarket....
Their public breakup started out kind, with the exes parting ways with mutual respect for each other. They were even spotted getting tattoos together shortly after the split. Last month, Underwood appeared on Reality Steve’s podcast and slammed the Bachelor franchise for jeopardizing his mental health. In the process, Underwood stood up for Randolph, who was “abused” by ABC during a Greatest Seasons Ever installment. At the time, it appeared Underwood and Randolph were on decent terms....
“This thing is going to be a monster,” said South Point sports book director Bert Osborne. “We’ve already got a ton of risk on the Broncos, which is telling because these 5 p.m. (PT) games usually don’t start to build the type of action we’re already seeing until results from the first two wave of games are in. I don’t see the betting patterns changing from now to 4 p....

The Cowboys’ featured tailback and the NFL’s leading rusher, Murray sustained a broken left hand in the Cowboys’ win at Philadelphia. His availability for Indianapolis (10-4) is uncertain, though he did put in a limited practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. In any event, his effectiveness, should he play, is another matter altogether. Murray has touched the ball on 45.4 percent of the Cowboys’ plays, and he has gained 39....

Phil Joanou’s stylish psychological thriller Final Analysis takes these combustible elements and stirs slowly but expertly until they explode in murder, trial scenes, double, triple and quadruple crosses. Hollywood has not had much luck of late trying to refurbish the Hitchcockian legacy, but Joanou’s deliberately retro thriller-lusciously designed by Dean Tavoularis and photographed in rich, burnished images by Jordan Cronenweth - is an honorable homage, mounted with such seductive flair that you may be willing to ride with it all the way through its wild and frankly woolly third act, when Wesley Strick’s screenplay requires a major suspension of disbelief....
However, customers reported being contacted by Connecticut State Police late Monday evening to alert them of the outage. Connecticut residents received phone calls and texts after 11 p.m. last night that advised: “If you have an emergency please try 911 first. If you experience difficulties placing a 911 emergency call and have a 911 emergency, you can use a mobile device or please contact your local police or fire department by dialing their local number....
“Hey, it’s not Oklahoma City,” a fellow named Steve said, walking into the Olympic Stadium with his wife the morning after. Steve was, however, troubled by the drizzle. Might it turn into a rain hard enough to affect the competition? They had good tickets. But he was not insensitive. No, in fact, Steve was pretty much representative of the general attitude of Atlanta, of the citizens of the Olympic Village, the fandom of the Games....
If a new report is to be believed, there’s a chance Snyder’s tenure could be coming to a close sooner rather than later. USA Today’s Jarrett Bell reported Saturday that some NFL team owners are considering whether to oust Snyder. One unnamed owner told Bell that they are “counting votes.” A series of controversies have followed Snyder since he took over franchise operations. In recent years, Washington has been mired in legal proceedings: first, for allegations of sexual harassment and workplace discrimination, and then for claims that Snyder and the Commanders manipulated the league’s revenue-sharing system....
It’s the revenge of the “credit cycle.” In flush times, lenders relax credit standards. They’re eager to lend and exude confidence about repayment. Borrowers brim with optimism. They don’t doubt they can repay. Everyone’s upbeat. But when economic prospects darken, the process reverses–often with a vengeance. Loan losses obliterate optimism. Lenders tighten credit standards. Borrowers can’t get loans or, at any rate, can’t get them on terms that seem reasonable and affordable....
In April, Itochu Corporation announced that the total fertility rate—the average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime—of its female employees, aged between 15 and 49, had risen to 1.97 in the 2021 fiscal year, which ended in March. The trading house noted that the rate was well above the national average, which was 1.33 in 2020. Itochu Corporation said its employees’ fertility rate has been rising over the last decade as it has provided support to help those raising children while continuing to work....
Learn about the potential complications associated with both acute and chronic bronchitis. Acute vs. Chronic Bronchitis Before discussing the complications of bronchitis, it’s important to distinguish the two different kinds, as both the symptoms and impact can vary significantly. Acute bronchitis often occurs at the tail end of a cold or the flu. Instead of improving, a person may develop a low-grade fever and a bothersome cough. Roughly 90% of the time, acute bronchitis is viral in origin, so antibiotics are not helpful....
Leicester City appoint Shakespeare The ex-winger had two spells at Porto as a player, helping them to three Primeira Liga titles, and replaces his former team-mate Nuno Espirito Santo.
