Hopkins has tallied over 1,000 yards in seven of his 12 NFL seasons, most recently doing so in 2023 with the Tennessee Titans.  Most recently, Hopkins played in the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs, who acquired Hopkins mid-season last year. Hopkins had two catches for 18 yards, scoring a touchdown in the 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.  Hopkins has been one of the premiere receivers of the last decade, a fan favorite for a generation. His production in the NFL came to no surprise after a storied career at Clemson, which led to him being a first round selection, being drafted with the No. 27 overall pick in 2013 by the Houston Texans In Hopkins' junior season, his final at Clemson, he hauled in 82 catches for an ACC-leading 1,405 yards and 18 touchdowns He ranked fourth in FBS in yards and second in touchdowns that season But now the Ravens are celebrating a D-Hop honor that is big as well Recently the Clemson Tigers announced via a post on X that Hopkins would be entering the school's Athletic Hall of Fame, joining the late, great defensive tackle Chester McGlockton, who went on to have a 12-year NFL career after being selected with the No. 15 pick in the 1992 NFL Draft and great broadcaster and SID Tim Bourret.  Clemson's press release also acknowledged seven other inductees: Dov Kremer (Cross Country) Jennifer Mihalik (Women’s Swimming) and Natoya Goule (Women’s Track) The Ravens acknowledged Hopkins' great achievement by posting "Congrats @DeAndreHopkins!" on X Despite being over a decade removed from his legendary junior season Hopkins still owns the fourth-most receptions and second-most receiving yards in program history while being tied for the most receiving touchdowns in Tigers history.  The Ravens are hopeful that Hopkins can channel some of that Tiger energy and production leading a receiving room featuring Rashod Bateman A jail in Kentucky confirmed Friday it has custody of three people who were detained by U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Bloomington Hopkins County Jailer Mike Lewis told the Indiana Daily Student the detainees were booked into the jail April 30.

Developer Alatus missed deadlines after it was unable to raise money needed to finish project and is suing to stop Minnehaha Creek Watershed District from terminating it from the project. A $330 million real estate development in Hopkins is in limbo after its developer failed to get financing, and now it may get booted from the project. The city of Hopkins and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District awarded the project, which features over 800 housing units, to Alatus in July 2021. Alatus, led by Twin Cities developer Bob Lux, completed in December 2023 the first phase, a 116-unit apartment building. But because of “untenable” increases in interest rates and financing costs, Minneapolis-based Alatus has not been able to move forward, the company said in a court filing. Nor has it been able to consummate an $11.25 million land purchase agreement with the watershed district. Now, the district has declared Alatus in default of the land agreement, terminating it from the project. The district owns the roughly 13-acre development site at 325 Blake Road in Hopkins. It declared Alatus in default of the land purchase agreement after the developer failed to pay up by Nov. 1. The watershed district terminated the sale agreement this spring. Alatus on Monday sued the watershed district and the city of Hopkins, asking Hennepin County District Court for an injunction halting termination of the land sale agreement. The watershed district’s actions “will delay the project by years — and possibly destroy it — all while wasting millions of taxpayer dollars,” the suit claims. The Blake Road project, which sits on a long-vacant industrial site, is critical for both the city and the watershed district. It would provide Hopkins with 833 housing units, including the already built Chorus Apartments affordable housing complex; 112 senior co-op units; 33 townhomes; and 9,000 square feet of commercial space. For the watershed district, the Blake Road project is part of a larger effort within the 100-acre Minnehaha Greenway in St. Louis Park and Hopkins to connect, restore and improve water quality in Minnehaha Creek. Under a three-way development agreement that also includes the city, the watershed district doesn’t have authority to terminate Alatus from the project, the suit says. Alatus claims the district breached its contract, including by trying to remove it from the project without a joint vote with the city of Hopkins. “The problem is that the district acted unilaterally, and we don’t read the documents as giving it power to do that,” said Mark Becker, a Minneapolis attorney representing Alatus. “We don’t know why they would do this when there has been so much energy put [into the project] by Alatus.” James Wisker, the watershed district’s administrator, said Alatus’ purchase agreement for the land has been extended four times. “They just haven’t been able to meet their contractual obligations to the watershed district. They have been in default for five months and have not been able to remedy,” Wisker said. “Exercising all this patience with Alatus has delayed our work.” He said that while there is a development agreement between Alatus, the district and the city, the land purchase agreement is with Alatus and the district alone, so the district isn’t acting unilaterally. Becker said Alatus named the city as a defendant because it is a “necessary party,” meaning its interests are critical to resolving issues before the court. “It’s really to make sure the city’s voice is heard,” Becker said. In a Jan. 30 letter to the watershed district, Hopkins Mayor Patrick Hanlon said the city has “confidence” in Alatus, calling the developer a “solid partner.” The letter, which Alatus submitted to court, addressed the watershed district’s directive to “evaluate alternative pathways” for the project. “Alatus’ vision is still the most compelling development vision the city has seen, and the city’s commitment of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is to Alatus for this vision and this vision only,” the city’s letter said. Hopkins awarded Alatus $31.7 million in TIF financing, which utilizes new property tax revenue from a project to help pay for that project’s costs. Alatus used $5.29 million of its TIF allocation to build the Chorus Apartments, which is fully occupied. Wisker said the watershed district will move forward in tandem with the city. “Hopkins is a pivotal partner for the district,” he said, “and it will continue to be.” Mike Hughlett covers energy and other topics for the Minnesota Star Tribune, where he has worked since 2010.

Minneapolis Hennepin County is highlighting salvage businesses in May to encourage residents to reuse construction materials and limit what gets sent to landfills This season is often the most competitive for prospective homebuyers and most lucrative for sellers Here’s how to beat the opposition without busting your budget one of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Energy companies How a retracted study from the 1990s undermined trust in vaccines and led to a persistent myth the FDA approved the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine which combined three vaccines that had been approved previously—in 1963 The vaccine has proven safe and effective and has been widely administered around the world for decades a paper describing 12 children who received the MMR and later developed autism or other disorders planted seeds of doubt about the vaccine’s safety and several large studies have since shown no association between vaccines and autism but the idea persists among some groups that vaccines cause autism about how this idea took hold and why it’s been so hard to dispel This Q&A is adapted from that conversation When did you start seeing concerns about vaccines and autism as a side effect of vaccines The issue was first raised by an article published by Andrew Wakefield in 1998. He was a GI doctor at the Royal Free Hospital in London, a very well-known hospital, and he published a paper in The Lancet, a prestigious journal. He looked at 12 children, eight of whom the parents reported developing autism after getting the MMR vaccine. The study was described as a consecutive case series—but it wasn’t even really that, because there was no control group or control period. But even a case series can’t tell you whether one thing causes another thing. It is simply a description. But once that paper was published, Wakefield got a lot of press and told people that he had shown vaccines had caused autism, which again, that study couldn’t even do.  The paper was ultimately retracted. Within a short amount of time, several of the authors pulled their names. There were lots of problems later found with what was published. For example, the cases were not consecutive [i.e., they did not include all of the children studied]. They were cherry-picked cases. And we know that, given that the age when children receive the MMR is also the age when some children regress into autism, there will be a temporal relationship; by chance alone, some children would develop autism after vaccination. So, from a scientific perspective, the paper didn’t show much. But you had a very well-credentialed, very charismatic person coming from an outstanding institution publishing this paper in a very prestigious journal, and he really ran with it. Do you think it was just Dr. Wakefield himself that made people think vaccines cause autism, or were there other factors? I think autism was ripe for vaccine safety controversies for a few reasons: It becomes apparent to the parent early in childhood, around when we give a lot of vaccines. Autism seems to be increasing in incidence or prevalence, so there’s more of it out there. And we don’t fully understand what causes it. So, you have a lot of parents who are watching their children develop normally and then regress into autism. And they want to know why. In addition, you had autism advocacy groups, where parents came together looking for answers and looking for support for their children. So, you have parents thinking, what happened? What caused this? And then they think, my child had just gotten vaccinated. And then they talk with other parents of autistic children who say, wow, my child just got vaccinated, too. Parents are looking for answers, understandably. And so the issue was very ripe for it to be associated with vaccines—not by cause and effect, but by timing and temporality. What research was done to look into this perceived link? The attention this question got led to a number of large epidemiological studies that looked at kids who were vaccinated with the MMR vaccine and those who weren’t, so there were control groups. And those studies found no association between the MMR vaccine and autism. Once it started to become clear that the MMR vaccine was not associated with autism, the hypothesis shifted from the MMR vaccine [as a cause of autism] to thimerosal, which at the time was used as a preservative in some childhood vaccines. Thimerosal was never used in the MMR vaccine, but it was used as a preservative in multidose vials of other vaccines. That led to a number of large studies looking at thimerosal in vaccines and autism, and those studies also found no relationship. Then the hypothesis shifted again to the number of vaccines given at one time, so there were studies of that, which also found no relationship between vaccines and autism. At this point, we have 16 well-conducted, large population-based studies, carefully designed, done by different investigators in different countries, using different but strong methods. And all have found no relationship between MMR vaccine, thimerosal in vaccines, or the number of vaccines given and autism. The evidence is compelling. Why do you think this theory has persisted despite the research showing there is no relationship between vaccines and autism but my understanding is that we’ve identified some causes for autism but there are still a lot of causes we haven’t identified So the question of what causes autism spectrum disorder is still out there Another part of the answer is that it took some time for those studies to be done—more than a year for the first study after the MMR vaccine hypothesis and years in the case of the thimerosal hypothesis a vacuum of information in a time when about a quarter of the parents had already made up their minds that vaccines cause autism I think if the science had been done sooner—understanding that good science takes time and effort—that would have helped I also think if there’d been more trust in public health authorities and in those doing the science it may have been received in a more impactful way when you say good science versus bad science you’re talking about how the study is done I’m talking about the rigor of the methods used in a study Can you give an example of rigorous study versus a non-rigorous study Something we often hear from people worried about vaccines is that we need to do a vaccinated/unvaccinated study Consider the example of what causes lung cancer If you looked at lung cancer rates among people who drink alcohol you would find that the rate is higher than it is for nondrinkers and somebody might conclude that drinking alcohol causes lung cancer The issue is that people who drink are more likely to smoke something that’s associated with the exposure and the outcome And in the case of looking at vaccinated versus unvaccinated children only about 2% of American children are completely unvaccinated why can’t you just look at Amish children [based on the misperception that Amish children are not vaccinated] and we can figure out whether vaccines cause autism and other health outcomes very different from other populations of children—in their lifestyle in terms of how they access and use medicine and health care I’ve never studied autism among Amish children but my guess is that even if autism rates were about the same they’re probably much less likely to get diagnosed Earlier I brought up the issue of confounding You really have to adjust for confounding when you look at vaccine safety What do you think about the idea of doing more research on whether vaccines are linked to autism I’m a scientist and I believe in the value of science The science that has been done has shown that vaccines are very safe They’re not perfectly safe; they do sometimes autism would not be high up on this list because the existing science is already quite compelling This interview was edited for length and clarity by Melissa Hartman Johns Hopkins University most effective way to prevent the spread of measles Texas – February 27: Signs point the way to measles testing in the parking lot of the Memorial Hospital Emergency Department in the Seminole Hospital District An outbreak of measles in West Texas and New Mexico has grown to over 250 cases and resulted in two deaths In the March 7 episode of Public Health On Call Moss spoke with Lindsay Smith Rogers about how the outbreak is growing and how the average person can know whether they’re at risk of contracting measles He also clarifies the role vitamin A can play in treating—but not preventing—measles and why it is not a replacement for vaccination What is the latest on the outbreak in the Southwest U.S. The state of Texas has been really good about updating its Health Services website with information about the outbreak Most of those cases—107 of them—are from Gaines County And the number of cases has been increasing [Editor’s note: The Texas Department of State Health Services updates its outbreak alert page every Tuesday and Friday the latest totals as of March 11 are: 223 cases (156 in Gaines County) which is tragic because it was a very easily preventable death The child had no underlying conditions; it’s important for people to know that this was an otherwise healthy child In addition to the ongoing transmission from this outbreak there have been some imported cases into Texas—four reported cases have been associated with international travel Most of the cases in Texas are in school-age children between ages 5 and 17 who are either unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status and a few are among children who received a single dose of the MMR vaccine What is known about this outbreak and the community where it’s occurring This outbreak started in a Mennonite community in West Texas where there are low vaccination rates Many of the children are homeschooled or attend smaller private schools This is not atypical for the larger outbreaks that we’ve seen in the United States in the recent past including a large outbreak of slightly more than 900 cases in an Orthodox Jewish community in New York there was a measles outbreak of 383 cases in an Amish community in Ohio These larger measles outbreaks tend to occur in close-knit communities with very low vaccination rates Are the outbreak in New Mexico and cases reported in other states related to the outbreak in Texas Yes, we are seeing measles cases being exported from West Texas to other counties within Texas, but also to other states. The state with the next-highest number of cases is New Mexico, on the border with Texas—as of March 7, the New Mexico Department of Health has reported 30 cases and one death There have also been cases of measles reported elsewhere in the U.S. as far from Texas as New Jersey and Kentucky But we aren’t seeing outbreaks in other states of the size that we’re seeing in West Texas in that community with low measles vaccination coverage The way we stop and prevent measles outbreaks is through measles vaccination We have a very highly effective measles vaccine—about 93%–95% of people are protected after just a single dose That percentage is even higher—97% or more—if they get their second dose as recommended Individuals who have had two doses of the measles vaccine don’t need to worry What are the challenges to stopping the outbreak it can be challenging to get the measles vaccine to children who live in remote rural areas or areas of conflict measles vaccines are readily available; the problem is on the demand side It’s a complex issue that requires addressing people’s concerns about the measles vaccine and having the right messengers to get the information to communities It requires talking to people and trying to address misunderstandings—and probably misinformation and disinformation—that they’re hearing it may be religious leaders who need to be the trusted messengers to provide information and address the concerns of the community Get our weekly newsletter to stay informed on important public health topics Is vitamin A effective in preventing or treating measles There's a long history of studies—including by former Bloomberg School dean Al Sommer—showing that vitamin A supplementation in communities with a high prevalence of undernutrition and vitamin A deficiency can prevent measles mortality and that giving vitamin A to children hospitalized with measles can reduce measles mortality there are some important caveats to the use of vitamin A for measles: While it can be given to children here in the U.S under the supervision of a health care provider—particularly children who are immunocompromised or have been hospitalized with measles—vitamin A is not a cure or prevention for measles There is also toxicity associated with vitamin A if an individual takes too much of it The bottom line: Vitamin A is an effective tool to try to reduce measles mortality particularly in high-burden settings outside of the U.S. but it's not a tool to prevent measles the way the measles vaccine is The real impact of vitamin A is in populations with a high prevalence of undernutrition and vitamin A deficiency which is generally not the case in the U.S Are steroids or antibiotics useful in treating measles Steroids are not a standard therapy for measles Measles can impair the immune system and lead to secondary bacterial infections like pneumonia—in fact steroids might only exacerbate such an infection There is a role for antibiotics in children who develop a secondary bacterial infection But it is not recommended that all children with measles be treated with antibiotics How concerned should people be if they’re not living in a community where an outbreak is occuring Individuals who have had two doses of the measles vaccine don’t need to worry—they can be very confident they are protected there's a slightly higher risk that you might get measles if you're exposed to the virus but you would likely experience milder illness The CDC recommends that people who are traveling internationally make sure they have received both recommended doses of measles vaccine If someone is traveling to a place in the U.S they need to weigh their risk of coming into contact with an individual with measles Some people may be more susceptible to severe measles including those whose immune systems are weakened due to chemotherapy or underlying diseases Should people get their measles antibody levels tested I don’t recommend people get their antibody levels tested because the results can be misleading Many of the tests are not sensitive enough to detect low antibody levels so individuals may be misclassified as being susceptible to measles If there is any doubt about a person’s measles vaccination history it’s very safe to get another dose of measles vaccine You don't need to follow that up with measuring antibody levels Would a mask help prevent transmission of measles Measles virus is transmitted through droplets and through aerosols a tight-fitting N95 mask should reduce the risk of coming into contact with measles virus I don’t recommend people get their antibody levels tested .. but we’re not seeing signs of this outbreak slowing down What happens next is a matter of whether the virus gets into other communities where there is low vaccine coverage we had one measles case in 2023 and one case in 2024 but because we have very high measles vaccine coverage here It’s not unexpected to see just one or two cases in communities with high vaccine coverage But if someone with measles goes to another community with a large proportion of unvaccinated individuals we can expect to see another

Based on the vision of the Friends of Gwynns Falls, our goal was for the trail to be functional without compromising the character of the park. To achieve this, our design incorporates minimal materials: wood and screws. Also, the design only consists of two types of wood members, 2×6 and 6×6, approaching the design in a simplistic, low-profile way, which maintains a clean, consistent look without any extra clutter. For each side of our walkway, there are gentle ramps at either end to ensure a seamless passage for hikers and cyclists. A slight grade allows water flow for the stream under the walkway. As a whole, our proposal provides a complete solution to the current issue.

Catcher Clay Hartje followed with a solo home run going back-to-back with Harris to extend the lead to 7-4 Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting With no vaccines yet and limited treatment options avoiding tick bites is our best bet in reducing the risk of tickborne illnesses The vast majority of vector-borne diseases in the U.S spoke with Stephanie Desmon all about ticks and the diseases they can cause and how climate change is increasing where and when ticks can thrive Baumgarth, a professor in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology and director of the Lyme and Tickborne Diseases Research and Education Institute explains that because we don’t yet have vaccines and treatment options are limited awareness and individual prevention strategies remain our greatest assets for reducing risks of tickborne illnesses Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen on Spotify There are about 15 states in which ticks are considered endemic and parasites that can cause all sorts of diseases in humans Many people are surprised to hear that in the U.S. 90% of all diseases caused by getting bitten by something—including mosquitoes—are actually caused by ticks Lyme disease is by far the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S We don’t know exactly how many people develop Lyme disease every year the CDC has recorded about 475,000 cases a year—that’s an incredibly high number How can we protect ourselves from tickborne diseases If you’re spending time in the woods in a region where ticks are common effective tick prevention involves looking a little bit dorky: You should wear long sleeves and long pants you want to minimize any exposed skin where ticks can bite you it’s important to also check yourself for ticks and pull off any you find You can also take a hot shower and change into fresh clothing prevention strategies like these are all we have There are no vaccines for any of the diseases that are carried by ticks Lyme disease causes nonspecific flu-like symptoms which can make it harder to diagnose quickly in people who don’t know that they’ve been bitten by a tick or don’t have the bullseye rash around the site of the bite Doctors may be more likely to consider Lyme disease as the cause in states where ticks and Lyme disease are common If you experience flu-like symptoms after traveling to a place where ticks are common as this may help inform the diagnosis and treatment a person can be treated with antibiotics and most people will fully recover about 10% or so who get infected will have ongoing symptoms And that’s still a really high number—that’s about 45,000 individuals per year who will have ongoing Lyme disease symptoms Why are cases of Lyme and other tickborne diseases increasing There are multiple reasons behind the increased risk of tickborne diseases in North America There were no cases of Lyme disease in Canada even 20–30 years ago and now Lyme-carrying blacklegged ticks are present in the southern parts of Canada Ticks didn’t used to be able to overwinter Human behavior also plays a role: Humans like to live where ticks like to live—at the edges of the woods As we’ve moved out into the countryside and areas that are perfect habitat for ticks that also increases our risk of being exposed to ticks We’re also seeing populations of certain species of ticks spread to new regions is now the most common tick found in Maryland Does the lone star tick carry the same illnesses as blacklegged ticks Alpha-gal syndrome is caused by a sugar molecule—called alpha-gal—that is present in the saliva of the tick and in red meat. Humans can’t make this sugar, and if you’re exposed to it from a tick bite, you can become allergic to red meat and other products from mammals What other tickborne illnesses is your Center investigating Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium, but ticks can also transmit viruses, including Powassan virus and Heartland virus there are no treatments for these viruses which can cause severe disease Babesiosis is another disease that seems to be becoming more common It is a little parasite that lives inside red blood cells babesiosis is one of the easier ones to diagnose because the parasites can be identified quite easily in blood cells Babesiosis is particularly concerning because it can be transferred through the blood We now test donated blood for the Babesia parasite because the blood supply is often given to people who have an existing illness or whose immune systems are already compromised It’s also possible for a pregnant woman infected with Babesia to transfer the infection to her baby at birth Are there vaccines in development against tickborne diseases A Lyme disease vaccine is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials that are testing for efficacy or how well it actually protects a person from Lyme disease This is a vaccine against the bacterium that causes Lyme disease—not as it is in our bodies The idea is that the vaccine would cause you to make antibodies to the antigen that is expressed by the bacterium in the tick A tick would then pick up the antibodies when it bites you One new idea that I’m very excited about is: Can we develop a vaccine against tick bites and ticks in general The idea is that the moment a tick starts biting you you’d develop an immune response and expel the tick from the skin it wouldn’t matter what pathogen they carry—we would not actually get infected but there is basic research going on now trying to figure out how to do this Has work on tickborne illnesses been impacted by funding cuts There have been cuts to earmarked funding to support tickborne disease research This includes medical research supported by the Department of Defense which has a particular interest in protecting soldiers and their families from illnesses There was also a public-private partnership called Lyme-X between the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation and the NIH aimed at developing better diagnostics The office that gave out the public part of that partnership was cut I've been working on tickborne diseases for 20 years and research is incredibly slow and painstaking It’s always great to talk about breakthroughs but it's a bit of a misnomer—it’s more like crawling through than breaking through I started working on Lyme disease because I was interested in the immunology underlying the disease There are so many people affected but so few resources so we really need to keep the research going This article was edited for length and clarity by Aliza Rosen Credit: Will Kirk / Johns Hopkins University More than 250 student entrepreneurs competed for more than $55,000 in prizes at the 25th annual HopStart: Hopkins New Venture Challenge on Friday Competitors from across Johns Hopkins University began crafting their business plans and pitches in early February to prepare for the competition under the guidance of mentors Michael Rosenbaum, CEO of Arena Analytics and Johns Hopkins University trustee, delivered the keynote address at the HopStart awards ceremony. Rosenbaum reflected on his experiences starting his own successful companies, including Catalyte a company that uses machine learning to build primarily tech workforces for large enterprises and governments and encouraged competitors to be resilient in the pursuit of transforming their ideas into reality "HopStart provides a unique opportunity for our students," said Pam Sheff, director of the Whiting School of Engineering's Center for Leadership Education "They are asked over months of competition to develop a business plan and to rethink and revise their plan under the guidance of industry experts Once they bring their ideas to competition day it's clear many of these teams have done the work to think through regulatory hurdles and so many details necessary to iron out if they wish to seriously pursue their startups." Teams from the Whiting School of Engineering and the School of Medicine walked away with prizes including in the competition's four main categories: General Ventures I and II and Medical Technology and Life Sciences I and II Winning both the General Ventures 1 and Hopstone Capital Awards was Team Chirp Charm a collaboration between electrical and computer engineering students Nidhi Batra They created a hands-free alarm worn discreetly on a shoe Designed to be intuitive and easy to activate in an emergency the device is powered by piezoelectric energy generated through walking or other movement minimizing the need for frequent charging and increasing reliability in critical moments A strong stomp or kick activates a "Listening" mode If a second stomp occurs within 20 seconds a 104-decibel alarm is triggered—about the volume of a car horn or your average rock concert—to draw attention quickly and deter an attacker A small side button on the external charm allows users to exit Listening mode or silence the alarm at any time whether the initial stomp was accidental or the user no longer feels at risk Read on for the rest of the winning projects a platform that employs AI to reduce the cost of medical bills provides users with clear explanations of their charges and applies for eligible financial assistance Medical Technology and Life Science Ventures I: Team Parametric a medical device that noninvasively monitors core body temperature in the EMS space Medical Technology and Life Science Ventures II: Team Veina Vascular a medical device that optimizes blood collection in emergency departments to reduce hemolysis (the premature breakdown of red blood cells) an affordable and intuitive navigation tool based on computer vision and haptic feedback that seeks to help blind and visually impaired people navigate independently and rewards to improve decision-making skills a modified menstrual cup to facilitate collection of indicative biomarkers and at-home monitoring Posted in Science+Technology, Student Life Tagged entrepreneurship Rosemary F.G.

The Blue Jays have won back-to-back Director’s Cups an annual award given to the best D-III athletic school across all sports and have a commanding lead in the 2024–2025 school year in their quest for a three-peat.  Hopkins has many advantages over the rest of the D-III; starting with the most obvious we are a larger school in comparison to most of our Centennial Conference rivals Most D-III schools have between 1,000 to 2,000 students while Hopkins boasts an undergraduate population of just over 6,000 students making them more comparable in size to a small Division I school (D-I).  The University also has significant recruiting advantages due to the allure of highly-ranked academic programs as well as the ability to bring in graduate students who are older and have already proved themselves at the college level While these may be advantages currently for the University This announcement has not been well-received by all currently competes in the Big Ten Conference and their fate in the Ivy League is uncertain Rockeley-DuPont addressed these concerns in the press conference “We appreciate the Big Ten conference for providing a competitive environment for our lacrosse program,” he said before announcing that Hopkins lacrosse would remain in the Big Ten for two seasons before switching to the Ivy League Conference in 2026–2027 This change could have far-reaching impacts on student life will likely become even harder to get into due to the added prestige of the Ivy League.  There’s also the question of adding sports. The University is missing many sports that the Ivy League teams compete in, such as rowing and gymnastics; only time will tell if Hopkins is looking to expand its athletic program to better align itself with its new conference. In a fast-changing collegiate athlete world, there is also the question of how NIL recruiting and graduate students will impact Hopkins.  Perhaps most intriguing is the question of how Hopkins will fare in their new conference Despite dominating D-III competition in almost every sport Ivy League teams are expected to play out-of-conference schedules against Power Four teams and seeing how the dust settles on the University’s first couple D-I seasons will be fascinating.  As Hopkins prepares for this monumental transition questions remain about how the school will adapt to the demands of Ivy League competition with a history of excellence in both fields we have every confidence that the Blue Jays will rise to the occasion and 2026 will mark a new era for Hopkins sports Please note All comments are eligible for publication in The News-Letter As part of its commitment to sustaining critical research and training efforts at the university Johns Hopkins is launching new support programs for members of its research community facing unexpected grant terminations Federal funding disruptions threaten the sustainability of individual research portfolios more than 100 federal research grants have been canceled universitywide and many others are experiencing delays in renewals which gives undergraduates the opportunity to pursue original research and creative projects in collaboration with Hopkins mentors "We are deeply committed to sustaining the people and projects that power discovery at Johns Hopkins," JHU President Ron Daniels and JHU Provost Ray Jayawardhana wrote in a message to the Hopkins community today and our intensive ongoing planning and advocacy reflect our firm commitment to preserving the essential work of both basic and applied discovery to continuing to honor our core values as America's first research university particularly those whose work and livelihoods are dependent upon federal support."

Officials did not say how much they expect to dedicate to the grants in total targeted program administered on a rolling basis It also receives funding from other federal agencies such as the defense and energy departments Hopkins leaders have said that funding cuts have been massive “We are deeply committed to sustaining the people and projects that power discovery at Johns Hopkins,” Hopkins President Ron Daniels and Provost Ray Jayawardhana wrote in a message to faculty and students Monday to continuing to honor our core values as America’s first research university particularly those whose work and livelihoods are dependent upon federal support.” There will be three new grant programs open to faculty and students so they can continue working on their research The individual amounts would be for no more than $100,000 for delayed grants or $150,000 for terminated grants during a 12-month period One offers editorial support for grant proposals and journal articles The other gives undergraduate students the chance to work with Hopkins mentors on original research or projects There will be a briefing on the research funding landscape and details on the programs soon Meredith Cohn meredith.cohn@thebaltimorebanner.com Meredith Cohn is a health and medicine reporter for The Baltimore Banner She has been covering the beat in Baltimore for more than two decades Welcome to The Banner's subscriber-only commenting community.

"The purpose of the endowment is to allow you to maintain your university and its mission and its level of activity indefinitely," she said "And if they allow all of these projects to go down the tubes So this is the kind of emergency where it does make sense to take some more money out of your endowment to prevent a crisis." Though the fund is more than $13 billion total Donors give them money and they say you can only use it for this purpose," Baum said It's unclear how much will be used for the grants but the university has been open the it will not make up for the entire deficit or even close to it “We are deeply committed to sustaining the people and projects that power discovery at Johns Hopkins While we cannot make up the full measure of recent or potential federal research cuts we are striving to provide several new supports to faculty and staff directly affected in an effort to temper some of the most immediate impacts on our research enterprise,” President Ron Daniels and Provost Ray Jayawardhana said in a message to faculty "They can't just replace federal funding and do all this research forever but they can do something to mitigate the current problem," Baum said Concerns linger over what other federal funding may be at risk to the late Delbert and Ruby (Leber) Shelton Dianne's warm smile and dedication to her work as a waitress touched the lives of many in the Hillsboro Community she served with distinction at several local establishments Her commitment to service and her ability to connect with customers were hallmarks of her career Dianne was united in marriage to George "Oscar" Hopkins They were blessed with two loving children Brenda (Jerry) Hopkins; two cherished grandchildren She will be deeply missed by all who knew her Her family describes Dianne as independent and a bit stubborn-qualities that endeared her to friends and family alike Graveside service with burial following will be held Thursday at the Resthaven Memory Gardens in Hillsboro Dianne Sue Hopkins will always be remembered for her unwavering spirit please visit www.thompsonfuneralhomes.com or to leave a like visit the Thompson Funeral Home and Cremation Care Facebook Page Sign up to receive the Philadelphia Baseball Review Newsletter your guide for all things baseball in the City of Brotherly Love Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Evansville on Tuesday more than a dozen people were taken to a jail in Hopkins County That’s according to Hopkins County Jailer Mike Lewis who said the county jail he operates in Madisonville recently executed a contract with the federal government to hold ICE detainees while their immigration cases are pending Lewis said anyone arrested by ICE and booked into the Hopkins County jail Tuesday was transported there from the Evansville area following an ICE enforcement operation in Southern Indiana Lewis said the Hopkins County jail received several ICE detainees from the Bloomington None of the ICE detainees were apprehended by Hopkins County law enforcement Hopkins County handles transportation and housing on behalf of ICE 14 people were booked at the Hopkins County jail in connection with ICE arrests though booking records reviewed by the Courier & Press don’t list the detainees addresses or state where they hailed from “We were aware of the ICE involvement in Evansville and we transported and housed for that operation,” Lewis told the Courier & Press and I think we only got three or four out of Bloomington I think we got 14 from the Evansville area on Tuesday.” Lewis said ICE arrests differ from those typically carried out by state and local law enforcement because some detainees may have already completed their court cases while others may still need to go before federal immigration judges they could be anywhere along from the beginning to the end,” Lewis said with regard to the detainees’ immigration cases “They could be somebody who’s just been picked up for the first time for having violated the law while here legally or they could be somebody who’s already marked for deportation.”  the warrant… They give us that form and we hold them based on that.” Lewis said the Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office would facilitate transporting detainees to federal court for immigration proceedings or to other ICE detention facilities Hopkins County Judge Executive Jack Whitfield Jr said the county’s jail recently received certification from the federal government to house ICE detainees for periods extending beyond 72 hours “The federal rate is higher than the state rate,” Whitfield said of the payments Hopkins County receives for housing ICE detainees as opposed to other state and federal inmates “The detainees are going to be taken somewhere so I think it’s as good or probably better than most places they could go so they’re not having to be trucked a long way and that’s ICE detainees or any other federal inmates.” Houston Harwood can be contacted at houston.harwood@courierpress.com You are using an outdated browser.
