By BILL BARROW Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is trying to help Republicans project a unified front in two high-stakes Senate runoffs as he campaigns in Georgia a day ahead of President Donald Trump's potentially volatile visit to the state that will determine which party controls the Senate in January. The vice president is campaigning Friday with Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, with the GOP roiled by Trump's continued denial of his own defeat and his baseless attacks that Republican officials in Georgia, including the governor and secretary of state, enabled widespread voter fraud on […]

Michael Sam is an American footballer who plays for the Dallas Cowboys. He is also one of the few openly gay players in the National Football League (NFL). He was born Michael Alan Sam Jr. to Jo Ann and Michael Sam, the seventh of eight children in the family. He attended Hitchcock High School in Hitchcock, Texas and joined the school’s football team as a water boy at first, before being selected. He played both defensive and offensive positions on the team. During all four years of high school, Sam earned first-team All-District honors as a defensive lineman and as an offensive lineman in his junior and senior years. He received scholarship offers from several colleges such as Colorado State University, the University of Houston and Arizona State University but decided to attend the University of Missouri, or Mizzou as it is more popularly called.
Sam attended the University of Missouri from 2009 to 2013. He was redshirted in his first year, meaning that he delayed his participation in order to lengthen his period of eligibility, which is typically 4 years, to an extended period of 5 years. He participated in the Big 12 athletic conference and recorded 3.5 quarterback sacks and 24 tackles in his freshman year. In his sophomore year, his strategic play helped his team to beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders, and made them eligible to participate in postseason games. In 2012, he transferred to the Southeastern Conference (SEC), starting in 9 games and registering 3.5 sacks. In 2013, during his senior year, he tied Missouri’s single season record for sacks and scored the highest quarterback sacks and tackles for the SEC.
He was titled “SEC Defensive Player of the Week” for two weeks in a row as well as “SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year” post season. He was also selected in the all-SEC first team and all-American first team by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, Sporting News, Football Writers Association of America, Associated Press and American Football Coaches Association. He was also a semifinalist for a number
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Vanderbilt has removed the interim title, making Candice Storey Lee the first woman to become an athletic director in the Southeastern Conference.
That made Lee the first woman to run athletics at Vanderbilt, and she said she was incredibly honored and could not be in this position without the support of Vanderbilt’s leadership, coaches, staff and fans.
Lee joins Carla Williams at Virginia as the only black women athletic directors at a Power Five school, with Sandy Barbour at Penn State, Jennifer Cohen at Washington and Heather Lyke at Pittsburgh the other women ADs.
She became Vanderbilt’s senior woman administrator in the athletics department in 2004 and deputy athletic director in 2016.
Susan R. Wente, Vanderbilt’s interim chancellor and provost, said Lee hit the ground running after being appointed interim athletic director earlier this year.
After more than 120 years of flying over the state of Mississippi, the Confederate battle flag is no longer a part of the state's official flag.
\"People who wanted to keep the flag couldn't ignore what it meant anymore,\" says Democratic state Rep. Robert Johnson, the minority leader in the Mississippi House.
\"You can't live in Mississippi as an African American and don't every day feel angry when you see that flag,\" Johnson says.
Johnson says economic pressure helped force the change as it became increasingly clear that the flag was a liability for Mississippi because it's widely seen as a racist symbol.
State Sen. Chris McDaniel led the fight against changing the flag in the Legislature.
