Fantasy football rookie quarterbacks have more opportunities than ever to be starters from day one on the job. CJ Stroud had the best season by a rookie quarterback in NFL history last year, ranking third all-time in passing yards (4,108) and sixth-most passing touchdowns by a rookie (23). Despite all that success, he's only 11th in fantasy football overall and ninth in points per game, and will need a standout rookie season to catch up with established stars at the position. Since 2013, only three of 138 rookie quarterbacks have finished in the top 12 in fantasy football rankings.One advantage…
NFL Preseason Picks Week 3 of the NFL preseason has gone from “dress rehearsal week” to “final game” in 2021 when the regular season schedule expanded to 17 games. Coaches around the league now have some very important decisions to make. The preseason finale is August 25th, and the regular season starts September 8th for most teams, so there's still time to run into trouble. Meanwhile, the most important thing heading into Week 1 is player health — many injuries in the NFL are more serious than bruises and bumps — but practice is also important, so some teams will…
Sonora Behavioral Health Hospital will add 48 new beds after the Pima County Board of Supervisors on Monday unanimously approved rezoning of about 5 acres of land adjacent to the facility.

The existing hospital has 140 beds, according to project documents. Get the Arizona…
A recent poll confirms what has long been suspected: Brits are obsessed with the weather, with the average conversation about it apparently taking place five times a day. But that's nowhere near the number of times the topic was discussed at St Andrews this week.With high winds and frequent torrential rain forecast for the next few days, it is only “highly likely” that the AIG Women's Open, taking place on the famed Old Course, will be postponed.”It's only Wednesday and we've already been through all kinds of weather,” said world number one Nelly Korda, aptly summing up what most Americans…

EARTH stands for Environmental Applied Refrigerants Technology Hub. Led by the University of Kansas, EARTH will include 80 institutions and researchers from a wide range of disciplines. In addition to Notre Dame, the University of Maryland, University of Hawaii, University of South Dakota and Lehigh University are participating as key university partners. All partners work together towards the common goal of creating a sustainable refrigeration economy. Today, most air conditioning and refrigeration systems used to…
Certain lifestyle habits, like maintaining a healthy diet and getting enough exercise, may slow the biological aging process, a new study finds. The study, published in May in the Journal of the American Heart Association, found that people who prioritized eight heart-healthy behaviors had a lower risk of heart disease and total mortality. These benefits were even greater for people prone to more rapid biological aging. A person's biological age refers to their physical condition and health, not the length of time they have lived. People whose biological age is higher than their chronological age experience a process called accelerated…
Berlin — European allies are relieved that Kamala Harris has been formally nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate, reducing the threat of President Donald Trump's reelection, but there is still an undercurrent of anxiety.Just six weeks ago, with former President Trump's approval rating soaring in the polls after his victory at the Republican National Convention, a constant topic of discussion at meetings of European officials was how to “anti-Trump” institutions like NATO and the European Union that the former president had often denounced as ineffective or branded as outright enemies. The near frenetic atmosphere of these debates has largely subsided…
Speaking at his first outdoor rally since surviving an assassination attempt, former President Trump said he “stopped a war with a phone call” while he was commander in chief.Trump held a campaign event in Asheboro, North Carolina on Wednesday, where he focused his speech on national security and how “the whole world was safer when I sat behind that beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.” “The world is on fire. Kamala and Biden have brought us to the brink of World War III,” Trump said from a podium surrounded by bulletproof glass.Reflecting on the national security situation under his…
Common concerns about the technology include over-policing of predominantly black and brown communities and whether it is actually effective. TACOMA, Wash. — The first of two community meetings regarding the Tacoma Police Department's upcoming pilot of controversial “ShotSpotter” gunshot detection technology will be held Wednesday evening. ShotSpotter, developed by SoundThinking, a self-described “public safety technology company,” uses acoustic sensors to detect gunfire and help police more precisely pinpoint where the sound came from. An information page on the City of Tacoma's website says the technology can help police improve their response rate to active shooter incidents, reduce crime scene response…
China's national planners are calling for greater investment in capital upgrading to support the country's energy transition. The Energy Upgrade Plan calls for investment in renewable energy, power grid technologies, energy efficiency and flexibility for coal-fired power plants, areas that Beijing has signaled are key to the transition from coal to low-carbon electricity. The plan reiterates existing regulations on capital upgrading, such as requiring the retrofitting of wind farms that are more than 15 years old or have a capacity of less than 1.5 megawatts (MW). Some of the world's largest economies are experiencing an unprecedented increase in electricity demand,…
