The world turns, and things change. For many years, going to an ALDE event meant being led by the suave, and occasionally cynical, Robert Woodthorpe Browne, whose almost legendary ability to cut deals meant that our influence somewhat outweighed our numerical strength. And now, we have a new leader, David Chalmers, whose first Congress this was. Naturally, David operates rather differently, although he clearly gets that, in a post-Brexit environment, Liberal Democrats have to work harder (and smarter) to get things done.

The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) welcomed the decision of Fifa to hand out huge cash incentives for the Filipinas and other participants of next month's Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Fifa announced Thursday that all 732 players, including those who will make the Filipinas squad for women's football's biggest showpiece, will each get at least $30,000 (P1.68 million), part of a 300-percent increase from the total pot handed out in the 2019 edition. 'It's actually good for the players,' PFF president Nonong Araneta told the Inquirer when asked about a story written by a wire service detailing Fifa's announcement.

In a small South Carolina town, a community is getting ready to show off a little-remembered part of the history of the segregated South. The restoration of the Rosenwald school in St. George is nearly complete. Part of the money to build the school for Black students in 1925 came from Jewish businessman Julius Rosenwald, once president of Sears Roebuck. Rosenwald partnered with Black communities to build 5,000 schools in 15 states across the South that spent little money on African American students during Jim Crow.

A maintenance worker pushes a refuse cart in the sun, Friday, Aug. 25, 2023, in Las Vegas. AP RENO, Nevada — Santos Brizuela spent more than two decades laboring outdoors, persisting despite a bout of heatstroke while cutting sugarcane in Mexico and chronic laryngitis from repeated exposure to the hot sun while on various other jobs. But last summer, while on a construction crew in Las Vegas, he reached his breaking point. Exposure to the sun made his head ache immediately. He lost much of his appetite.

The silver rice rat, an endangered species endemic to the Florida Keys, makes its home as close to the shoreline as possible for easy access to its low-tide marine species diet. It is this proximity to the water that prompted a team of scientists at the University of Florida to examine the rats' movement in correlation with historical tidal data over 17 years. The sea level rose 0.142 meters between 2004 and 2021, and the researchers also found that the rats moved to higher ground. In fact, the rats shifted at a slightly greater rate than the observed rise in sea level.

In recent years, the Philadelphia Eagles have relied heavily on QB sneaks on third- and fourth-down short yardage situations, converting on them at an extremely high rate. In 2022, they took their QB sneak efficiency to a new level by lining up players behind Jalen Hurts and pushing him over the line to gain for first downs or touchdowns. They even did it on football's biggest stage against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, which only brought more attention to it. — not highlight heaven (@ABsneurosurgeon) February 12, 2023 Hoping to stop it off of the field instead of on it, a number of other NFL teams unsuccessfully attempted this past offseason to outlaw the so-called "tush push.

NEW YORK — The tall task of determining Victor Wembanyama's height isn't finished yet. The expected No. 1 pick in the NBA draft might be 7-foot-4. Maybe not, though. While the league is listing him at that height in the draft guide on its media website, it's not official. Check back in September. That's the deadline for the San Antonio Spurs — assuming they take Wembanyama with the first pick as expected Thursday night — to submit an official height for him without shoes to the league. Wembanyama's height listed in the draft guide falls in the middle of conflicting reports about how tall the Frenchman is.
