Democrat Bob Casey concedes to Republican David McCormick in Pennsylvania Senate contestPITTSBORO — A center at Central Carolina Community College intended to advance environmental and natural resource technology education is celebrating the end of its inaugural year. The EARTh Center’s primary initiative is collaborating with educators and industry leaders to develop instructional and training materials in support of environmental tech industries such as those involved with water and air quality, natural resource management, energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. Professional development opportunities through the EARTh Center are open to community college, tribal college and high school educators from all over the United States. Over the summer, the EARTh Center hosted two major in-person professional development events: the Summit for Tribal College Educators and the annual EARTh Center Institute. In May, the Summit for Tribal College Educators in Michigan provided a forum for tribal college faculty to meet in person and discuss the current challenges of environmental technology education at tribal colleges. In June, Nahant Marsh Education Center co-hosted the EARTh Center Institute in Iowa, bringing together 17 educators for an immersive five-day event, exploring water quality, conservation and the ecosystems of the upper Mississippi River region. In 2025, the EARTh Center will have two in-person professional development opportunities and several virtual opportunities. In June, the EARTh Center will take educators to Beaver Island, Mich., for the EARTh Center Institute and to Boulder, Colo., for the first part of the brand-new EARTh Center Fellows Program. Applications and details for both opportunities may be found at earthcntr.org . One achievement for the EARTh Center from this year is the development of immersive educational modules and simulations, and their availability for educator use through the EARTh Center website. These cutting-edge resources integrate simulation-based learning environments with interactive coursework, allowing students to engage in realistic scenarios where they can apply their knowledge in safe, controlled settings. The most recent creation of simulation-based materials is aimed at photovoltaic (solar) programs. The coursework and simulations created by the in-house Immersive Ed Design team walks students through the necessary knowledge checks and information for working on energized high-voltage photovoltaic systems, allowing students to gain experience with tools and situations they may experience in a real-world environment, without being exposed to the potential dangers of high-voltage electricity. For more information and resources, earthcntr.org and follow the EARTh Center on LinkedIn (search “EARTh Center (Environmental and Natural Resources Technology Center)”). Additionally, interested instructors, educators and industry partners may email Tiffany Breindel at tbreindel@cccc.edu or Andrew McMahan at amcmahan@cccc.edu to discuss involvement and opportunities with the EARTh Center.
Trump attorneys ask Georgia appeals court to dismiss Fulton County election interference caseIT WAS a day to forget for Cowes Sports and East Cowes Vics, but Newport continued their fine unbeaten run with a draw, despite the disappointment of conceding two goals late on. FLEETLANDS 2, NEWPORT 2 Newport maintained their sixth spot position with a useful point away at Fleetlands, a place below them in the Wessex League Division 1 table. But the Islanders will be kicking themselves they did not take all three points. After nine minutes, a Fleetlands defender deliberately handballed as Joe Butcher charged in on goal and was given a straight red card. Up against ten men, Newport took advantage of having the extra man. They went a goal up 15 minutes later — Butcher seeing his powerful shot go in, despite the keeper's best efforts, from a Ji Nash ball from the left. And just three minutes later, in the 26th, Brad Young found Nash, who finished well to make it 2-0 — Newport in control. Port continued to create plenty of chances throughout the second half, but unable to kill the game off. Newport made a couple of late substitutions with the aim of seeing out the game. But Fleetlands produced an unbelievable comeback with goals in the 84th and the second minute of injury time to leave Newport feeling like they had lost. The win would have seen them leapfrog East Cowes Vics into fifth, with a game in hand over two sides above them. FRIMLEY GREEN 4, EAST COWES VICS 1 This was a six-pointer at the top end of the table, where East Cowes Vics' indifferent recent form see them drop from top to fifth in Wessex League Division 1. It was a bad day at the office for Vics, but they started off well — giving nothing away in a tight first 25 minutes. But after Caleb Neale was sin-binned, Frimley Green took advantage of having the extra man by taking the lead in the 40th minute. Vics weren't able to hold on, conceding a second a minute before half-time. Going out with a lot of hard work ahead to rescue the game, Vics conceded a killer third in the 65th minute, with an uphill battle ahead. But in the 80th minute, Elliott Wheeler hit a screamer to pull it back to 3-1 and give the Islanders some hope. But five minutes later, Wheeler was sent off and Frimley's fourth soon followed, to make it a miserable trip home. HAMWORTHY RECREATION 8, COWES SPORTS 0 The Yachtsmen fell to their heaviest defeat of the season in what was a miserable Wessex Premier trip to Hamworthy. After Cowes keeper hauled down a home forward after ten minutes for a penalty, the game never took off for the Islanders — and it was 4-0 at half-time, with only their pride to play for in the second half. But even that maxim was snatched from the blues, who conceded four more. Whatever was said in the dressing room during the interval, made no difference to the shellshocked players, who conceded a minute after the restart. And with their heads down, Cowes conceded a sixth within two minutes of Hamworthy's fifth. After conceding the seventh in the 62nd minute, there was a concern it would stretch to double figures, but the sixth-placed hosts did not complete the scoring until the 89th minute. Cowes dropped to 15th place. ALL THE RESULTS Wessex League Premier: Hamworthy Recreation 8, Cowes Sports 0. Wessex League, Division 1: Frimley Green 4, East Cowes Vics 1; Fleetlands 2, Newport 2.

Cowboys vs. Commanders: Old Friends, New Rivals, Big InjuriesNorth Vancouver man charged with attempted murder after bizarre stabbing incident in CaliforniaWith the news that Cadillac is joining F1 in 2026, Mario Andretti has been named to the board of directors for the organization. An Andretti-Cadillac team was denied entry in 2023, but this new formation is more acceptable to the FIA. Mario Andretti is a legend. Formula One, NASCAR, IndyCar – there isn’t much that he wasn’t able to accomplish during his driving days. At 84 years old, he’s headed back to F1. Today, Andretti responded to the news . He is more than happy to have a role within this new organization. “I feel very lucky that I’ve been able to stick around for this long and do what I love for so long,” the legendary driver wrote on social media. “And the idea that the Cadillac F1 Team wants me around...I’ll help where I can, a non-exclusive role with the team, not involved in day-to-day operations (because I don’t want a job), but offering advice, inspiration, friendship anywhere I can. I am beyond fortunate.” I feel very lucky that I've been able to stick around for this long and do what I love for so long. And the idea that the Cadillac F1 Team wants me around....I'll help where I can, a non-executive role with the team, not involved in day-to-day operations (because I don't want a... This won’t be Andretti Global. However, this appears to be a solid compromise. There are several Andretti allies and close business partners on the Cadillac F1 team. Dan Towriss and Mark Walter will lead the team, they are majority owners at Andretti Global. As for the engines that they will run, Cadillac F1 will use Ferrari engines for 2026 and 2027. They will then introduce their own engine in 2028. Cadillac enters F1, could it come to NASCAR? Cadillac races globally. Their addition to F1 is a big deal. But could Cadillac get involved in NASCAR? With the Chevy Camaro being discontinued, is there a chance that GM could swap Chevy out for the Cadillac brand? To answer those questions simply, I don’t think so. It sounds far-fetched. Cadillac competes in sports car racing, IMSA, WEC, and now F1 – stock car racing doesn’t really fit the brand. But for a certain race fan, a Cadillac brand in the Cup Series would be a dream come true. NASCAR is hoping to add another manufacturer. There are a lot of rumors about Honda and maybe Hyundai. But any additions are likely years away. Could a rebranding from Chevy to Cadillac make NASCAR a more attractive brand for other manufacturers? Again, I’m not sure that’s a legitimate solution, but may be a fun offseason debate. Cadillac F1 team has me thinking about a Next Gen CT5 and I don’t hate the picture in my head. If you could pick any manufacturer to invest into NASCAR, who would you choose? This article first appeared on 5 GOATs and was syndicated with permission.Review: “Glicked,” Part 1

The Gophers have been working on a couple trick plays during closed practices in recent weeks. Unveiled Saturday, one worked to huge success and one didn’t pan out in a 26-25 loss to No. 4 Penn State. ADVERTISEMENT They busted out a double-reverse pass that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown from Max Brosmer to a wide open Jameson Geers in the first half to take a 17-10 lead at Huntington Bank Stadium. Then in the fourth quarter, the U called a throwback pass from Brosmer to left tackle Aireontae Ersery on second and goal from the 8-yard line. Brosmer intentionally threw it incomplete because Penn State’s All-America candidate, defensive end Abdul Carter, was waiting to make a tackle on the U’s athletic-but-massive lineman. “The reverse pass worked, so it’s a good call,” coach P.J. Fleck said postgame. “We were in the perfect defense for (the throwback pass). We practiced it all week. The only thing that they showed ... was pop (Carter) out. If he doesn’t pop out, there is nobody there. “It just didn’t come together,” Fleck continued. “It came together in practice. I love the call. I loved the look that we put it into. I would call it all over again based on the look that we had.” ADVERTISEMENT Brosmer shared that players were comfortable with the throwback call until Carter spoiled it. “Rather than taking a negative spot (by trying to complete it), we just went onto the next play,” Brosmer said. After the second trick play didn’t work, Brosmer’s third-down pass to Elijah Spencer fell incomplete and the U opted to kick a 26-yard field goal to make it 26-25 with five minutes left. “Kicking the field goal is the smart decision,” Fleck said.
