"The timing part, I don't know that it's next year, but it's probably sometime in the next five years," Christopher said in a Xavier athletics video. Jump to the 5:20 mark to begin hearing his comments on expansion. And the candidates he suggests that are good fits all come from the Atlantic 10, and shouldn't surprise anyone, given these names were talked about by ESPN.com's Andy Katz earlier this year -- Saint Louis, Dayton, Richmond and VCU....

To treat it, we must first understand what caused it. We have been fed lies by the processed food industry about how calories affect our body, and about what foods we should and shouldn’t eat. Big Food is now as dangerous as Big Tobacco ever was—in fact Big Food is Big Tobacco. General Foods Corporation and Kraft Foods Inc. are owned by Philip Morris USA. Many of us believe that a combination of counting calories and following restrictive diets is the key to losing weight and getting healthy....

Mother-of-three Narelle Guthrie, 35, has traveled to the Polish border and into Ukraine to help people find sanctuary in the United Kingdom. Guthrie, of Devizes, a market town in Wiltshire, England, has worked in refugee camps and kitchens and handed out blankets and humanitarian aid at train stations. She also stood on the Polish-Ukraine border giving out her personal contact information “to as many people as possible to offer my help and support....

Plenty, it turned out. Even before sleepy reporters could finish their cornflakes, Rollins blithely unloaded a bombshell: the Whitman campaign, he said, had “suppressed” the black vote in New Jersey with a half-million dollars in cash. It had done so, he said, in two ways, Contributions were made to black churches, whose ministers were told: “Don’t get up in the Sunday pulpit and preach” on behalf of Florio. And workers for black mayors were offered the same amounts of Election Day “walking-around money” (box) as they were getting from Democrats....

Considering Hamlin had run 182 mph in the day’s first practice session, the fastest speed recorded, it was no light development. MORE: Austin Dillon’s terrifying crash | Who’s No. 1 in power rankings? | Qualifying is Saturday Photos captured the incident in which the hood lifted from its front locks, smashing into the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota’s windshield. Hamlin kept from crashing and made his way to his garage by looking through the shattered windshield and separated hood....

But while these bills might help small business owners, app and website developers, it’s not clear how they will help users. Preventing online marketplaces and app stores from disadvantaging hosted vendors may be the one regulation Democrats and Republicans can agree on, but “self-preferencing” is nobody’s number-one beef with Big Tech. Of far greater public concern are free speech, fake news, lobbying, data collection, code theft, collaboration with dictators, social media’s addictive properties and its propensity to target children....

In that one, the Big Ten Conference placed nine teams in the field. The league was the clear No. 1 in the NCAA’s NET rankings, with three teams in the top 10, six in the top 30 and nine in the top 50. That’s roughly two-thirds of the league ranking among the nation’s best. But when the tournament began and only one of those entrants stuck around for the Sweet 16, ridicule of the B1G commenced that has continued unabated....

That’s the powerhouse Ryan Day inherits in Columbus, and the bar remains the same. Can anybody dethrone the Buckeyes? Michigan is still looking for its first Big Ten championship since 2004, and first victory against the Buckeyes under fifth-year coach Jim Harbaugh. Michigan State and Penn State are in the mix in the Big Ten East. The West features six teams that think they can win the division, including Nebraska with second-year coach Scott Frost....

That’s not a perception. That’s all but fact. The conference entered the weekend with a 17-41 record against ranked nonconference opponents since 2007. It left with two more losses and irreplaceable damage to its already-flimsy reputation. Here’s another perception-turned-fact: This is the worst weekend in the history of the conference, and it comes at the worst possible time. Michigan State? Sorry, Sparty. Playoff teams don’t get side-swiped 28-3 in the second half against another playoff-caliber team....

PL flops who could be NFL kickers They may not have been at their best against Liverpool in midweek, but claiming a point while those around them proceeded to inexplicably drop them meant Antonio Conte’s side were able to sleep easily on their way back to west London. Fast-forward to Saturday’s visit of Arsene Wenger’s men, and it was again a display from the Blues that was far from perfect....

The 47-year-old claims that the sudden appearance of an unidentified flying object is what caused him to fall off his motorcycle, landing him a trip to the hospital. According to ZBC News, Myambo was traveling home when he spotted an unusual light in the sky, followed by a deafening noise. He says the sound is what caused his fall. “I was traveling home on my motorbike at around 9 a....

The Hammers lost five of their first six matches at the start of the 2016-17 campaign, leading for some supporters and journalists to call for his head. Europe’s Team of the Season so far The Croat says that he was not immune to the criticism, and was forced to put on a brave face despite ‘hurting’. “You pretend at home that you are OK because you don’t want it to affect your family,” Bilic told the Daily Mirror....

Appearing on CNN on Wednesday, Barr said the president was trying to make the point that election monitoring was not good enough to prevent people from voting at polling stations if they already cast their ballots by mail. But when he was pressed on the fact that such an action would be illegal, he said he was unaware of what state laws said about the legality of voting twice....

In an interview published Monday by the National Newspaper Publishers Association’s BlackPressUSA.com, the once beloved comedian said: “I have eight years and nine months left [in prison]. When I come up for parole, they’re not going to hear me say that I have remorse. I was there. I don’t care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren’t there. They don’t know.” The second interesting thing is the news that veteran independent television studio Carsey-Werner plans to shop around its vast library of classic sitcoms to streaming services in the hope of landing deals similar to the reported $425 million WarnerMedia paid for the rights to Friends and the $500 million NBCUniversal supposedly paid for The Office....

The mayor was being interviewed with the Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, and the two lawmakers debated over whether vaccine mandates were necessary to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. De Blasio has mandated that all unvaccinated private sector workers in New York City get vaccinated by December 27. Such a strict policy regarding vaccine mandates has not yet been seen elsewhere in the United States....

This Nov. 2, the U.K. is joining UNESCO and the international community in marking the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. Attacks against journalists and media workers must stop. Until they do, all countries need to work hard to make sure that where they are attacked, these cases are investigated, and those who are responsible brought to justice. The U.K. has a long history of a vibrant and independent media, underpinning the values of our democracy....

MORE: Cam Newton’s best moves | Biggest plays of the year No more euphemisms, no more verbal gymnastics to avoid talking about The Elephant at The Big Game, no more BS, no more pretending anything aside from skin color is polarizing about Cam. The reporter said a mouthful with that question. And Newton understood this better than anybody, which is why he danced a little before delivering this truth bullet: “I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen (anything) that they can compare me to,” he said....

The 28-year-old finished last campaign as the leading scorer in Germany’s top flight with a stunning 31-goal return but his future has since been shrouded in uncertainty. Liverpool’s Keita chase hits barrier Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian are among the sides to have been linked to the Gabon international’s services. Aubameyang’s repeatedly stated desire to represent Real Madrid at some stage in his career also lends little stability to his status as the star attraction at Signal Iduna Park but Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc believes he will remain under new head coach Peter Bosz....
