Houston prepares for its first season in the Big 12 with Smith and Coley vying for QB job

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:42:23 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston coach Dana Holgorsen was talking with former star quarterback Case Keenum earlier this summer about when he should name a starting quarterback and end the competition between Donovan Smith and Lucas Coley.Keenum’s answer?“I wouldn’t,” Holgorsen said he told him. “Just let them compete, because if they compete, it makes them better, and then it should take care of itself.”Keenum’s answer came from experience with the same situation when he and Blake Joseph were vying for the job in 2008 before Keenum was eventually named the starter on a Houston team where Holgorsen was the offensive coordinator.Smith and Coley are competing to replace Clayton Tune, the team’s quarterback for the past four seasons.Smith joined the Cougars after appearing in 21 games for Texas Tech in the past two seasons. The 6-foot-5 Smith threw for 1,505 yards and 12 touchdowns last season after throwing for 1,181 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021. Coley came to Houston after spending last s...

Nota del editor: Este reportaje incluye una imagen cruda y detalles de violencia.CNN — Cientos de familias se reunieron en El Geneina, la capital de Darfur Occidental, el 15 de junio para planear el escape de lo que se había convertido en un infierno, con edificios destruidos  y cubiertos con grafitis racistas y calles tapadas de cadáveres. El gobernador del estado acababa de ser ejecutado y mutilado por grupos de milicias árabes, sin dejarle a los ciudadanos ninguna otra opción más que huir.Lo que vino después fue una masacre espantosa, eso dijeron algunos testigos.

3 cocktail recipes that celebrate dry vermouth

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:42:23 GMT

Somewhere deep in the recesses of your kitchen liquor cabinet probably sits a bottle of dry vermouth. You know it’s there, but you really have no idea how long it’s been there. Maybe your uncle or a date wanted dry martinis and you bought it because you confused dry gin with dry vermouth. Or maybe you knew exactly what you were doing and wanted actual vermouth in your martini, a rarity these days. Whatever the case, you opened it way back when and now there it sits.Dry vermouth, or French, is the other kind of vermouth. Since Carpano Antica upped the game in sweet vermouth quality back in the late 1990s (and concurrently upped the game in Manhattans as well), new quality sweet vermouths have begun appearing on the market. The dry stuff though has always had a problem. The main difference (aside from color, which is added to sweet vermouth that is usually made from white wine) is the taste. Not to be confused with bianco vermouth, which in many cases is simply uncolored sweet vermout...

There’s no guarantee he’ll stick in that spot when returning starting guards Cole Strange and Mike Onwenu return from injury, but the ascension has still been a good sign for the Eastern Michigan product.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots rookie Malik Cunningham has taken on another expected role on offense New England Patriots | Why Patriots’ coaching braintrust is optimistic after ‘really beneficial’ week New England Patriots | Where is Patriots CB Jonathan Jones?

Taking control of nosebleeds

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:42:23 GMT

Joel Streed | (TNS) Mayo Clinic News NetworkAt some point in their lifetimes, most people will experience a nosebleed. It’s common for adults and children, especially during dry winter months.Although rarely life-threatening, nosebleeds can cause anxiety and sometimes are difficult to control.Why do nosebleeds occur?Epistaxis, more commonly known as a nosebleed, occurs when a small blood vessel in the nose ruptures. The bleeding most commonly arises from the nasal septum, the partition that divides the two sides of your nose on the inside. The rupture can occur when something traumatizes or irritates the mucosa lining of the septum. Common causes are nose-picking, forcefully blowing the nose or an impact to the outside of the nose or face.Nosebleeds are more likely to occur when the nasal mucosa is dry and irritated. When there is low moisture content in the air, such as in the winter when homes are warmed with furnaces or electric heat, the blood vessels are more prone to tea...

No tropical storm has made landfall in Southern California since Sept. 25, 1939, according to the National Weather S...

Erik J. Martin | Bankrate.com (TNS)When you’re financing the purchase of a home, it’s important to understand what mortgage lenders look for when evaluating potential borrowers. One factor they strongly value is your credit score, a measure of how creditworthy you are: The higher your score, the more attractive you will appear to lenders.FICO and VantageScore, two of the most prominent players, score in a range from a low of 300 to a high of 850. Ideally, your credit score is closer to that high end. But what if your credit score is a bit lower than ideal? For example, is 700 a good credit score to buy a house?
