to her purview joining Monica McNutt and Carolyn Peck in L.A -- marking an expansion of WNBA studio shows into L.A It will be the first time “WNBA Countdown” airs from L.A and have been since I was a little girl,” said Andrews “Getting to expand into WNBA coverage at a really exciting time for the league is something I’m really looking forward to There’s always been incredible talent in the W but now that talent is also being met with appropriate commitments from ESPN.” Andrews makes her debut this Sunday on ESPN at 4pm ET for the Indiana Fever vs Brazilian National Team preseason game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City Increased coverage of WNBA news will also be featured on “NBA Today” and “NBA Countdown” through Andrews and coming off of record setting ratings of last year and interest it’s just a great story as the league just gets better and better,” said Tim Corrigan The thought of marrying ‘NBA Today’… We can make a greater emphasis and look at it more as a pivot but as it’s grown in importance in the sports landscape of course we’re going to take advantage.” It’s just the tip of the iceberg for ESPN’s WNBA coverage plans Elle Duncan returns for the second year to host the ABC edition of “WNBA Countdown” with Carter and Chiney Ogwumike from ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol Duncan did not know she would be covering the WNBA last year until right before the season started and is looking forward to Year 2 with more time to prepare “I’m so pumped for so many things,” Duncan said “I’ve been in the college space for four years but the Big Three [the nickname given to Duncan Carter and Ogwumike] went pretty well last year so they brought it to me that they wanted to do WNBA coverage I’m a firm believer that when you first enter a space the most important thing you can do is learn and listen Duncan is excited that the space is expanding with “incredible talent.” and I think she’s going to bring the same thing that she brings to the NBA space “She’s going to ground the show in an incredible way in the same way that the space was so welcoming and warm to me this is an incredibly exclusive space where everybody wants to win it’s like nothing I’ve experienced in television I know she’s going to bring the same level of care and journalistic integrity with her stories that she does in the NBA.” Rebecca Lobo and Holly Rowe reunite for their 13th season as ESPN’s lead WNBA broadcast team calling marquee matchups throughout the season and the WNBA finals “The way that we as a network have continued to invest in this property one thing we’ve continually done is look at seeing how we can get better,” said Ruocco “Our programming department has done an unbelievable job of finding us incredible matchups and then also finding us more windows for shoulder programming around the games and continuing to grow the conversation.” LaChina Robinson and Angel Gray are also back for this season ESPN’s coverage begins May 17 with a doubleheader on ABC -- reigning champion Liberty vs Carter and Ogwumike edition of “WNBA Countdown” will be at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center alongside Gray and Robinson calling the game Added Andrews: “I think that Ryan Ruocco’s ‘YOU BET’ is one of the best calls and being a fan of that and watching the chemistry that Elle Andraya and Chiney have formed over these last couple of years and seeing the way WNBA fans have responded to that genuine excitement and commitment to me it was a no brainer to join that party.” Andrews makes her WNBA studio debut this at 4pm ET Sunday for the Indiana Fever vs The veteran

arts institution’s president said that “financial sustainability is no longer attainable.” Andrews offered little detail about what went wrong at the university beyond Malik’s note about financial sustainability The small liberal arts institution’s enrollment has fluctuated in recent years fall enrollment fell 11.2% to 809 students The university in fiscal 2023 had a net loss of $6.9 million on top of a $1 million loss the year before, according to tax records Its net assets had also turned to negative $1.7 million in fiscal 2023 Andrews was created out of a combination of women’s college and Presbyterian men’s college was built to be “accessible to all,” which St Andrews says put it in “the forefront of service and research in the education of physically disabled students.”  it began aggressively courting military students and still touts its support of active-duty students Following financial and accreditation struggles the institution won approval to merge with Webber in 2011 Webber at the time was larger by about 300 students Webber leaders cited a desire to combine the university's business program with St Andrews offered its first graduate program it faced a total operating deficit of $8.2 million more than double its $2.7 million deficit the year before prompted auditors to add a “going concern” warning to the university’s latest financials indicating Webber might not be able to continue operating over the next year Malik said the university will focus on helping forge teach-out agreements for students and help them to transfer as well as assist employees with looking for new jobs Andrews would preserve its historical record and work with community leaders around the disposition of its property The university also has a campus in Pinehurst but the

diabetes -- Andrews addressed the trade speculation surrounding him heading into Thursday's NFL draft as well as the critical dropped 2-point conversion in a 27-25 AFC divisional playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills Andrews' future has become a hot topic in Baltimore after Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta was noncommittal when asked if the three-time Pro Bowl player would remain with the team But Andrews indicated that he hasn't had conversations with the Ravens about a potential move I think [DeCosta] said it perfectly: He's in the business of keeping great players and it's a business at the end of the day," Andrews told ESPN DeCosta said the Ravens value Andrews but added "There's always a lot of unpredictability with the draft." "I never know what's going to happen," DeCosta added "And I would never want to say this or that But I can tell you this: Mark Andrews is a warrior He's coming off a season in which he set the Ravens' all-time touchdown record but averaged only 39.6 yards receiving Baltimore would gain $11 million in cap space by parting ways with Andrews "I know the Ravens and my relationship is incredibly strong and I trust in [DeCosta] and everybody there over at the Ravens," Andrews said "And there's nothing on my end really to share it's just been working hard this offseason and trying to get in the best shape of my life trying to have the best season of my life coming up and winning a Super Bowl." Andrews' latest pursuit of a Super Bowl ended in January, when he dropped a 2-point conversion that would have tied the score in the playoff game against Buffalo with 1:33 left. On the previous play -- a 24-yard touchdown catch by tight end Isaiah Likely -- Andrews collided with Likely and fell face first into the snowy turf When Andrews went to the huddle for the 2-point conversion Do I not?' It was so fast and so quick that it just happened," Andrews said It was an uncharacteristic mistake for Andrews who entered that postseason game having not dropped a pass in 12 weeks wasn't the best game and I'm looking forward to redemption." After that drop, Andrews drew heated criticism and threats on social media. In an effort to support Andrews, Bills fans started a charitable drive that has led to $146,000 in donations to Breakthrough T1D an organization that works toward curing and improving the lives of those who are dealing with Type 1 diabetes Andrews is looking to further assist the cause with his continued partnership with Dexcom Dexcom is searching for college athletes with diabetes who are passionate about sharing their stories online submissions can be made to nominate candidates "This narrative or stigma of people with Type 1 diabetes I think people are more open," Andrews said "I think you see a ton of college athletes all throughout their sports that are doing the best of best things and really showing people that they can do anything they want in life."

"We explored every viable path forward," said Webber International University President and CEO Nelson Marquez "But the persistent financial and enrollment challenges facing St Andrews could no longer be mitigated through internal solutions alone This was a deeply painful but necessary decision." St. Andrews first held classes at St The new school was a merger between two schools based elsewhere in the state Flora Macdonald College and Presbyterian Junior College Andrews University as the institution merged with Webber International University Andrews indicated that it was "engaged with a number of universities about transfer credits" and expressed gratitude that it had received "an overwhelming amount of support in recent days." The institution listed more than two dozen other colleges and universities it is looking to establish "teach-out" agreements with that would enable students to transfer their credits to the new school and continue their education Schools in talks to enter into a "teach-out" agreement with St Andrews include several North Carolina-based institutions such as Appalachian State University Johnson and Wales University Charlotte and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke Colleges in discussions about a "teach-out" agreement with St Andrews extend across multiple states to Alfred University in New York Tennessee Wesleyan University and Webber International University in Florida In addition to pursuing "teach-out" agreements the college will provide "advising and transfer assistance" to all currently enrolled students as well as "personalized transition guidance including employment resources and benefit counseling" for members of the school's faculty and staff According to data compiled by the National Center for Education Statistics The student body consisted of 806 undergraduate students and 26 graduate students Limestone University made public its decision to close at the conclusion of the spring semester In a statement posted on the school's website Limestone's Board of Trustees Chair Randall Richardson explained that "Despite exhaustive efforts to secure the funding necessary to continue our operations we have come to the difficult conclusion that Limestone University has not been able to secure the necessary funding to sustain its operation." "We want to thank the almost 200 recent supporters in the last two weeks who committed a collective $2.143 million We had hoped that would be enough to sustain our institution we could not continue operations on-campus or online without a greater amount of funding," he added Data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows that Limestone had an enrollment of 1,782 students as of fall 2023 "Words cannot fully express the sorrow we feel in having to share this news," Limestone President Nathan Copeland stated and supporters fought tirelessly to save this historic institution." Like St. Andrews, Limestone is taking steps to assist students as they transfer to other colleges and universities in addition to supporting faculty and staff. The school's Facebook page describes the institution as an "accredited St. Andrews and Limestone are the latest of several Christian colleges to shut their doors in recent years Last year, the Roman Catholic Church-affiliated Notre Dame College in Euclid not to be confused with the prominent University of Notre Dame in neighboring Indiana announced that it was shutting its doors after more than 100 years in operation Birmingham-Southern College an Alabama-based institution with ties to the United Methodist Church announced it was taking the same course of action weeks later Ryan Foley is a reporter for The Christian Post.

I have a reputation for being a station and never folding I decided to rethink my game before I went fully pro in 2021.  I've always had a natural talent and aggression and want to win every pot What does my range look like to my opponent(s) I learned to take my time during hands now and make the best decision based off of that That’s what has catapulted me to where my game is today What’s the biggest mistake the lower and mid-stakes tournament players make Many regs in the mid-stakes are not taking their time to think thoroughly and deeply about what happened pre-flop and post-flop What’s the main thing the industry needs to attract more women into the game That is always a difficult question to answer because women I think the number one thing a woman needs to see is another woman it was playing with and watching Kristen Foxen the year she won the Ladies' Championship What three players would you pick to be on your WSOP Fantasy Draft team this year I have to pick people who are kind of on a heater this year it will be Krissy Foxen; I gotta have my girl with me What would be a positive change or two that you would suggest to the powers that be at the WSOP for this summer To make sure the air conditioning is working would be one thing If we can get one year where the AC keeps us cool the entire time Last year was the first year they implemented a rule that you must be in line by a certain time for late registration to get seated when you have to travel from Paris to the Horseshoe They need to be lenient and give you a five-minute window they were shutting people out left and right.  There has to be some leniency for the bigger buy-ins and give people at least five minutes to get from one venue to the other.  Do you think Phil Hellmuth will play the Main Event this year after announcing he wouldn’t a few months ago I think part of him saying he's not going to play was him getting more attention I still think he's going to suck it up and play Follow Cherish on X.  Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application It's impossible to believe she's gone Her long life was graced by love and happiness and her death leaves her family and many friends bereft Joyce graduated from Sacred Heart Hospital School of Nursing She first started working at Garrett County Memorial Hospital in 1956 After stints elsewhere in medical/surgical Joyce came back to GCMH for good around 1969 She served as Supervisor of the Emergency Room for more than 20 years demanding excellence in both the scientific and the human aspects of emergency care Her colleagues and patients knew her as caring after serving as Director of Nursing for several years She left an indelible mark on her hospital Joyce was instrumental in developing GCMH's top-rated Subacute Care Unit Joyce served on the Region I EMS Advisory Council and the Maryland Institute of Emergency Medical Services Systems and in advisory positions with the Organ/Tissue Donation Program Joyce volunteered with the Garrett County Historical Society Joyce was intensely interested in politics and actively participated in her local Democratic Club She loved to dress up and had an active social life She raised her two children with the same unconditional love and acceptance that her family always provided her her kids have accused her of plotting their early demise by feeding them bacon and buttered toast every morning before school (seriously She also sometimes served fried Spam with mayo on white toast and "everything tasted like hot dogs."

A St Andrews University spokesperson said: “As the body that made the decision to dismiss the rector University Court is carefully considering the chancellor’s decision and taking advice from counsel “This issue was never about free speech and only ever about governance Ms Maris remains rector of the university and has done so throughout.” Copyright © 2014 - 2025. Middle East Eye Only England and Wales jurisdiction apply in all legal matters Middle East Eye          ISSN 2634-2456                      Andrews University will close at the end of the spring semester S.C.— In response to the closures announced by Limestone University and St Coker University is extending an array of support services to help affected students continue their academic journeys Limestone College is located in Gaffney and St Andrews University is located in Laurinburg “We know these students didn’t choose this disruption,” said Dr “But they can still choose their future and we’re here to help them keep moving forward.” Coker University is offering the following to support students during the transition: “Our goal is to remove as many barriers as possible,” Harder said they will find a supportive community at Coker.” For more information, students, families and counselors can contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@coker.edu or call 843-857-4130 Get our local education coverage delivered directly to your inbox – Florence-Darlington Technical College announced the return of Goz Segars to the college’s Area Commission Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device Account processing issue - the email address may already exist Invalid password or account does not exist Submitting this form below will send a message to your email with a link to change your password An email message containing instructions on how to reset your password has been sent to the email address listed on your account And that includes not only a brighter spotlight for the rapidly rising league but also the presence of one of the network’s biggest stars Most notably, ESPN announced that Malika Andrews will join its WNBA coverage team hosting ESPN editions of the WNBA Countdown pregame show alongside Monica McNutt Chiney Owgumike and Andraya Carter from the network’s Los Angeles studios Elle Duncan will continue to host the ABC versions of WNBA Countdown from Bristol with Ogwumike and Carter serving as analysts SportsCenter anchor Christine Williamson will also perform hosting duties for the pregame show a move that WNBA Countdown expanding to the West Coast would seemingly dispute “We’ve built an industry-leading commentator team that reflects our deep commitment to covering every aspect of the WNBA” ESPN Senior Vice President of Sports Production Tim Corrigan said in a statement and delivering our best across platforms.” As for the rest of ESPN’s WNBA coverage analyst Rebecca Lobo and sideline reporter Holly Rowe will return for their 13th season together as the network’s lead broadcast team LaChina Robinson (analyst) and Angel Gray (sideline) With the entirety of the WNBA’s preseason slate set to be broadcast on national television Andrews will make her WNBA Countdown debut on Sunday ahead of a preseason game featuring Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever and the Brazil National Team The 2025 WNBA regular season will kick off two weeks later Ogwumike and Carter hosting an onsite edition of the pregame show ahead of the matchup between the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces in Brooklyn on Saturday Ben Axelrod is a veteran of the sports media landscape having most recently worked for NBC's Cleveland affiliate he covered Ohio State football and the Big Ten for outlets including Cox Media Group "The Knicks don't belong in the same gym with us."

Visitors must register for tickets beforehand This interview has been edited for length and clarity I started writing seriously about 12 years ago I was just looking for a way to kind of escape postpartum depression It took about three years and I wrote a mishmash book that didn’t really have [a] genre … I did a lot of research on the way I wanted to publish [Eventually] I rewrote an old series into what is my “Broken Kingdoms” series now There is a big difference that you don’t really need to wait anymore because social media is so powerful in that aspect I found my agent after “The Broken Kingdoms” kind of gained some steam and with the help of social media and Facebook ads and BookTok … I got audio book offers as opposed to just the traditional way where you query an agent and try and you go through the trenches … I had agents coming to me being like I’ll represent you,’ and then I got to pick who represented me Lyra is a Viking servant who has been hiding the melding power from the beginning because everyone’s told her it’s basically very dangerous Every King kind of wants her for themself and to use her power Roark was my hardest and my most challenging male main character I’ve ever written so he’s a non-speaking male main character That was fun and interesting to talk to medical professionals I have a brother-in-law who’s an audiologist I’ve come to really trust my gut after I’ve developed characters because they do start to speak to you a little bit once you have this person created I wrote so much in the mountains here … I live up north so that area by the ski resorts and stuff — they are where people are walking in the mountains in my head It kind of plays like a movie in my head as I do it … I go for a lot of walks and kind of get in the vibe (Andrews has made a Spotify playlist for “Broken Souls and Bones. “Drums of Drakkar” by Amoebacrew inspired a specific scene in the book.) I had created the whole scene of when Lyra actually goes into this stone gate royal fortress. I imagine these gates opening, it’s super intimidating, and they’re beating their drums. It was just from that sound that created that entire scene. The smell [of a world is] actually where I start. I close my eyes and meditate a little bit.

The shadow treasurer, Angus Taylor, the deputy Liberal leader, Sussan Ley, and the shadow immigration spokesperson, Dan Tehan, are all consulting on possible tilts at the Liberal party leadership, testing support with MPs who survived Saturday’s electoral rout. The former home affairs minister Karen Andrews on Monday warned the opposition had reached a new low under Dutton’s leadership, saying the election loss had sent “shock waves” through the Coalition. Read more“The Coalition is facing an existential crisis The first warning bell sounded in 2022 but the thinking of many in leadership positions didn’t change; if anything they locked into the old ways,” Andrews said “Recriminations are disappointing to hear at this time If those with the ability to influence the direction of the party had stood up and voiced their opinion when they had the chance perhaps the situation would not be so dire now “It’s not too late to rebuild but action should start today.” Sign up for Guardian Australia’s breaking news email On current numbers, the Coalition will have fewer than 10 women in the 150-seat House of Representatives. Helen Coonan, a former Howard government minister, told Guardian Australia the party needed to do more to build a pipeline of quality candidates, including women. But she stressed that quality policy offerings to improve the lives of Australians were essential to win over voters. “If you ignore the contribution women make, and what their expectations are, for organisations, that’s not going to augur well. “I think women have looked at the Coalition and not liked what they’ve seen in some policy positions, so have looked for something else. “Politics, or at least what parties offer, should be about how to enrich people’s lives, how to enable people, and not just be a laundry list of things that might not have much relevance to them.” 2:25Australian federal election 2025 recap: Albanese wins, Dutton concedes, Greens in the air – videoCoonan said female MPs in the parliamentary Liberal party deserved credit for their advocacy. “To attract women to run as candidates, whether you’ve got quotas or no quotas, if they haven’t got a good story to sell, if they don’t feel that they are part of a compelling narrative that appeals beyond being in a party, that’s not really going to help attract good women,” Coonan said. “They will ask, ‘where is this going, where is my place?’” Outgoing Liberal senator Linda Reynolds on Monday called for Ley to lead the party, calling the election campaign “a comprehensive failure”. “You can see, through successive reviews in federal and state, in terms of where we have taken the wrong turn, but we haven’t comprehensively understood those lessons and we certainly haven’t implemented the reforms that are needed.” Reynolds, a former defence minister, said the party’s male dominance was holding it back. “Ten years ago I was part of a review into gender … and we recommended targets and how to get there without quotas. That’s been the Liberal party policy for 10 years but it’s just sat on a shelf,” she told ABC radio. “We do have to have the hard conversations now about how we become more gender-balanced but also a broader diversity.” One former Liberal MP said damage from the plan caused a fundamental shift in the campaign’s early weeks stopping some prospective voters considering Dutton at all It didn’t sound good from the moment it was mentioned If you are not listening to your constituents “I am a great believer in the strength of democracy and the party system A leadership ballot is expected after results in a string of close seats are determined Labor looks to have more than 85 seats in the new parliament with the Coalition leading the count in about 40 seats PHILADELPHIA -- The Nationals made their first in-season acquisition to boost their bullpen Then the relievers delivered a gritty scoreless effort against the Phillies Washington signed left-hander Andrew Chafin to a one-year contract on Thursday. He is expected to join the team in Cincinnati on Friday. In a corresponding move, southpaw Colin Poche was designated for assignment The move was made prior to the Nationals’ 4-2 win over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park that was secured by four scoreless innings from Jose A he can help us,” said bench coach Miguel Cairo who assumed the managerial duties as Dave Martinez attended the funeral of his longtime agent Chafin, 34, is entering his 12th season in the Major Leagues. He signed a Minor League deal with Detroit and began this season with the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate He went 2-0 with one save and a 2.13 ERA in 13 games (12 2/3 innings) for Toledo Chafin pitched 56 1/3 frames between the Rangers and Tigers Athletics and Brewers since being selected by Arizona as the 43rd overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft Chafin ranks ninth among active pitchers in games played a good four-seam and a good slider,” said first baseman Nathaniel Lowe who was teammates with Chafin on the Rangers and he’s going to go out there and he’s going to take the ball every chance he gets so it’ll be good for other bullpen guys to see what it takes to stick around as long as he has and be a pretty dominant back-end guy.” Poche, 31, joined the Nationals on a Minor League deal after being non-tendered by the Rays in November the Nationals’ bullpen owned an MLB-worst 7.41 ERA Finnegan and Jackson Rutledge were the only relievers with an ERA under 5.00 But the trio of relievers halted a Phillies comeback attempt and delivered rookie right-hander Brad Lord his first career win López gets some big outs and Finnegan makes good pitches It was nice to see a ‘W’ going into Cincinnati.” Washington’s bullpen has felt the effects of injuries this season Right-hander Derek Law, who pitched a staggering 90 innings last season, has been sidelined since Spring Training because of right forearm inflammation. Righty Orlando Ribalta (No. 29 prospect) was placed on the 15-day IL on April 13 (retroactive to April 10) with a right biceps strain The Nationals converted Lord (No. 22 prospect) from a Minor League starter to a Major League reliever this spring. When starting right-hander Michael Soroka landed on the 15-day IL on April 4 because of a right biceps strain Lord was moved out of the ‘pen and into the starting rotation “I don’t think there’s

the team "I never know what's going to happen," DeCosta said at the Ravens' predraft news conference is entering the final year of his four-year $56 million contract and is coming off one of the most frustrating seasons of his career He averaged 39.6 receiving yards per game last season which was the worst since his 2018 rookie season The low point for Andrews came during Baltimore's 27-25 AFC divisional-round playoff loss in Buffalo where he dropped a 2-point conversion that would have tied the game with 1:33 remaining All of this has led to speculation as to whether Baltimore would be open to trading Andrews during the draft But Andrews is a three-time Pro Bowl tight end who has been Lamar Jackson's favorite target Andrews ranks third in franchise history with 436 receptions (36 shy of the Ravens record) and second with 5,530 yards receiving (248 shy of the team mark) Andrews surpassed Jamal Lewis as the Ravens' all-time touchdown leader and has totaled 51 for his career his leadership is so valued here," DeCosta said And I think we're in the business of keeping as many great players as we can there's always a lot of unpredictability with the draft The Ravens picked up Andrews' $4 million roster bonus on March 17 The Ravens have plenty of depth at tight end with rising backup Isaiah Likely who set career highs last season in receptions (42) receiving yards (477) and touchdown catches (six) Entering the final year of his rookie deal Likely has repeatedly stepped up when Andrews has been injured and could be a prime candidate to receive a contract extension But Ravens coach John Harbaugh provided a vote of confidence for Andrews at the annual league meeting last month "I do fully expect him to be playing for us next year," Harbaugh said on March 31 Mark would be one of the few guys I would expect to be here and] we've got Pat Ricard all in place doing all those jobs." The low point of tight end Mark Andrews' season came during Baltimore's 27-25 AFC divisional-round playoff loss in Buffalo, where he dropped a 2-point conversion that would have tied the game with 1:33 remaining. Gregory Fisher/Imagn ImagesDeCosta also declined to go into specifics about a potential contract extension with running back Derrick Henry His 18 touchdowns set a new franchise single-season record "So we have a lot of different balls in the air right now," DeCosta said I'm not going to talk about what we're doing what we're not doing behind the scenes business-wise with these guys I don't think it's good for me to do that."
