After giving up a double to put men on second and third, San Francisco broke the game open with a three-run shot from Trevor Harmon ’28 to take a 4-0 lead.

The Heist on Higher Education

A Dream 30 Years in the Making: Could It Become Reality? — The Santa Clara
Santa Clara men’s basketball (23-6, 14-2) is seeking to accomplish a goal that hasn’t been achieved by the program in over three decades: an invitation to March Madness.

Thermal drones can track dolphin health without having to touch or disturb them
Marine mammals are sentinels of the sea. When dolphins and whales show signs of stress or illness, it often signals deeper problems in the ocean ecosystems we all depend on. But assessing the health of dolphins and whales is notoriously difficult. That’s because they spend most of their lives underwater, move over vast areas, and cannot be examined closely without causing stress or disturbance. Our new research provides a promising solution to this problem.

Artificial intelligence should never replace talented animators and artists [column]
It’s a cozy Saturday morning, and you’re excited to tune into your favorite animated show. You slip out of bed, get a big bowl of snacks and slide right into your favorite spot on the couch. But when you turn on the TV, something seems off. The art style is uncanny — almost lifeless. You do a bit of research and learn that the entire team behind your show has been replaced by artificial intelligence. This might sound a bit far-fetched, but this could soon become reality.
Making beds: appreciating landscaping across campus
Some students returning to Macalester will note how beautifully green the campus appears after their long summer absences.

The campus center (CC) is fringed with black-eyed susans and native grasses which are just now wilting with the oncoming fall. Each garden that grows in every corner of campus is a system which is constantly changing, but it doesn’t change without help.
Council Post: Culture, Climate And Systems: How To Move Mountains Instead Of Just Managing Change
Charlie White | Executive Coach and CEO of MoveMountains. If you have ever been a part of a change management effort, you know how much of a pain that process can be. Even simple initiatives can seem to drag, requiring a ridiculously outsized effort. More fundamental changes can be a make-or-break event for a company. This friction is a well-known phenomenon for any company in maturity and generates billions in revenue for consulting companies. Why is change so hard?
Using varianting to grow the core: Tango
Post by Charlie White, Managing Partner based in New York. Growing the core is a particular passion of mine. I saw it in action first hand during the last decade leading brands in the competitive soft drinks category. One brand in particular that stood out was Tango. A recent post explored how Tango refreshed the irreverent mischievousness and bold taste that made the brand famous, in the new Dangerously Potent campaign (below).
Premier Lacrosse League Championship Expert Picks and Best Bets
For the first time in PLL history, we will have a championship game that does NOT feature the Whipsnakes. While I am a fan of that team, the culture they have built and the way they carry themselves, it is a breath of fresh air to see someone else get a crack at it. That team would be the Waterdogs. I’ve been saying it all year that this is a team that has all of the right pieces in place to make a championship run, and they proved that notion right with their playoff performance so far.
Premier Lacrosse League semifinals expert picks and best bets
In a very unfortunate series of events, the first round of the PLL playoffs turned in the most lopsided slate of the year. Every game was a blowout and the buses were warming up by halftime. We saw our souls get stolen due to these blowouts, leading us to a 1-2 weekend. Honestly, for a slate as flukey as that, going 1-2 really isn’t the worst thing in the world. Here’s to hoping the semifinals brings us some more luck. Waterdogs +1.5 (-120) over Whipsnakes If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Premier Lacrosse League quarterfinals best bets and expert picks
It’s hard to believe that we are already in the first round of the playoffs in the 2022 PLL season. So many great performances and storylines have come out this year, and the best is yet to come. We have had a ton of success in our best bets this year, turning a profit in over 60% of the weeks of game action. Now that we’re in the playoffs, it’s officially go time. The teams are gearing up to go on a run-in and so are we. Here are my three favorite bets for the first round of the 2022 playoffs.
Premier Lacrosse League Week 11 Expert Picks and Best Bets
It is with great dismay that I sit here and type this article as this will be the last weekend of the year when we get a full slate of PLL action. We have had a great season so far in our best bets, hitting 10 of our last 15 including a 2-1 outing in Week 10. While the playoff picture is pretty set at this time, there are still a couple of plays that I like this week. It is worth noting that playoff seeds (aside from the one seed) don’t really matter in the grand scheme of the league.
Premier Lacrosse League Week 10 expert picks and best bets: Can the Atlas get revenge?
The hot streak had to come to an end at some point, and it did last week with a brutal 0-3 record. However, we are still killing the books on our best bets this season, well above the 60% mark even with a horrid Week 9. I will try to make it up to you this week. Here are the best bets for Week 10 of Premier Lacrosse League action. Atlas ML (-105) over Whipsnakes It has been a popular strategy of mine to fade the Whipsnakes against the spread, and it has become quite profitable over the year.
Premier Lacrosse League Week 9 expert picks and best bets: Will the Whipsnakes finally lose?
We are officially reaching the twilight zone of the PLL regular season. Playoff pushes are beginning to start and we are seeing some really good lacrosse games being played. We were able to sweep the board last week, bringing us to 8-1 in our last three best bets articles. If you haven’t been tailing, you’ve been missing out. However, we’re always moving onwards and upwards as we look to keep the hot streak alive and go 3-0 again this week. Here are my best bets for Premier Lacrosse League Week 9.
Atlas have value in new role
Post all-star break is always one of the toughest weeks to handicap the PLL. There could be rust, fatigue, etc. for these athletes, and that is something you can’t weigh when handicapping these games. Despite this, we were able to go 2-1 with our only loss by the hook in last week’s best bets article. Can’t go broke taking a profit, but let’s shoot for 3-0 this week.
SuburbanExpedition Instagram Project
SuburbanExpedition is a photographic exploration and physical fitness project. The series of daily photos, first published on Instagram, featured a 10,000-mile walk over six years around the suburbs near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Now, the project has moved to Twitter, and I've extended it to 24,900 miles, calling it the "World Peace Walk 2030." All walks were documented with an iPhone and shared on Instagram, and now on Twitter.
Research project digs into right mix of soil nutrients
Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus all play critical roles in supporting healthy soils, maintaining crop yields and affecting the environment. Optimal management of these elements would lead to high soil carbon levels, low nitrate leaching and phosphorus that is maintained at a balanced level. However, this is challenging. A research project funded by Northeast SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education) is looking at management strategies to help balance these crucial soil nutrients.
"The Case Against Reality" Might Make Your Head Explode - Charlie White
The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes by Donald D. Hoffman is an absolutely fascinating book that changed the way I look at the world. It posits theories that assert that the world is not at all that we think it is. It suggests that every experience we have is like a set of icons on a computer screen, simplifying what’s really happening underneath. Hoffman writes that nothing we sense is real, and goes about proving it in a variety of mind-boggling ways.

I’m A Christian Mom, & Yes, We Need "Thoughts And Prayers" After A Mass Shooting
I was teaching a group of children at church when reports started coming in about the shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Gun Hidden in a Knife: It's Two, Two, Two Kills In One
Just what we need: more weapons and even better, increasingly innovative ways to murder and maim each other. With this G.R.A.D. $699 .22-caliber gun disguised as a knife, you can pull the trigger on the handle, filling someone with five holes and then cut them up into little pieces, or vice-versa. Check out the video of this lean, mean killing machine: Now all we need to do is combine this with the cellphone gun for the ultimate convergence device.
