STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — When coach Troy Taylor arrived at Stanford, he knew it would be a challenge to rebuild a program coming off back-to-back three-win seasons.Year one hasn’t been smooth so far for Taylor and the Cardinal but they got something positive to build off after last week’s school-record comeback from 29 points down to beat Colorado on Joshua Karty’s game-winning field goal in double overtime.“Once it goes through and the game’s over, then it all kinds of hits you,” Taylor said. “Then you just enjoy watching everybody being so happy. Then you try to breathe it in as much as possible because you realize how unique it is to be able to come back on the road. It is significant. It’s one of those things that you’ll remember it your entire life.”But the Cardinal (2-4, 1-3 Pac-12) know they can’t bask in the glow of that victory for long with another tough test upcoming in the loaded Pac-12 with a visit from No. 25 UCLA (4-2, 1-2) on Saturday nig...

Biden will deliver a rare Oval Office address as he seeks billions of dollars for Israel and Ukraine

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:32:18 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will deliver a rare Oval Office address Thursday night as he prepares to ask for additional billions of dollars in military assistance for Israel and Ukraine, deepening American involvement in two very different, unpredictable and bloody foreign conflicts.The speech will be an opportunity for Biden to argue that the United States has an obligation — and a national security interest — in both places. And it’s a chance for him to publicly lobby lawmakers for the money.The funding request, expected to be formally unveiled on Friday, is likely to be around $100 billion over the next year, according to people directly familiar with the proposal who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The total figure includes some money for Taiwan’s defense and for managing the flow of migrants at the southern border with Mexico.Biden hopes that combining all of these issues into one piece of legislation will create the necessary political ...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:32:18 GMT

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin thinks star footballer Karim Benzema is way offside when it comes to the Israel-Hamas war. Darmanin doubled down Thursday night on evidence-free remarks linking Benzema to the Muslim Brotherhood, a Sunni Islamist party considered to be a terrorist group in several Middle Eastern countries, after the footballer backed Palestinians under fire in Gaza. Benzema “still hasn’t made a tweet for the murder of this teacher in Arras … for the beheaded babies …. for the raped women, for the 1,300 massacred by Islamist terrorism in Israel,” Darmanin lashed out, referring to a deadly attack in France and Hamas’ violent assault in Israel earlier this month. “If Mr. Benzema is able to show — in front of 20 million people who follow him, including because he now lives in Saudi Arabia and because he is eminently French — that he also mourns the death of this teacher, I will withdraw my comments,” Darmanin said Thursday even...

Have you been trying to cut back on red meat? It could help you avoid a serious disease that affects tens of millions of people across the U.S.People who eat two servings of red meat a week may have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to people who eat fewer servings, and the risk increases with greater consumption, according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.The Harvard researchers also found that replacing red meat with healthy plant-based protein sources — such as nuts and legumes — or modest amounts of dairy was tied with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.“Our findings strongly support dietary guidelines that recommend limiting the consumption of red meat, and this applies to both processed and unprocessed red meat,” said first author Xiao Gu, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Nutrition.Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney disease, cancer, and dementia.While previ...
