metro plans park-and-ride for transit to las world cup stadium
soccer fans will be able to park at select metro locations and ride transit to world cup matches.
los angeles, ca — with about 100 days left before the world cup, metro wednesday said it will provide limited parking availability at several of its rail stations and partnership sites to connect customers with a direct trip to soccer matches in the summer.
metro is the smartest, safest, easiest, and most fun way to get to the world cup, fernando dutra, metro board chair and whittier city councilman, said in a statement. Instead of paying for some of the most expensive stadium parking or sitting in traffic, people can focus on what matters most — celebrating the love of soccer with fellow fans from around the world while going to and from the games.
the international soccer tournament is set to begin in the summer with eight games to be played at sofi stadium in inglewood.

metros world cup service will get fans to the los angeles stadium up to three hours before kickoff and the last service will depart up to 90 minutes after the match ends.
fares for the enhanced service will be the same as regular metro fares, $1.75 one-way and $3.50 round-trip.
parking reservations are now available, which can be booked at metro.Net/worldcup. Pricing will differ by location.
early-bird pricing is currently in effect, ranging from $55 to $95, plus a service fee. Compared to the other parking pricing where rates will be more than two and three times the metro rates, fans are encouraged to make their plans and book early for discounted metro parking rates.
the world cup is more than just a popular tournament, its a moment of national and global significance, metro ceo stephanie wiggins said in a statement. And its a transformative moment for metro. We are ready to be the first choice for transportation for those enjoying world cup matches in los angeles, delivering fast, safe and easy transit tailored to the scale of this event.
metro is partnering with more than 10 regional transit providers and charter companies to deliver the service, including long beach transit.
public transportation is a powerful force that connects communities on a truly global stage during the world cup, long beach transit ceo kenneth mcdonald said in a statement. At long beach transit, were proud to welcome the world by delivering dependable mobility that brings fans, families and cultures together.
metro is expected to place new signage in multiple languages to help customers navigate the system. The agency also has plans to deploy extra ambassadors, volunteers and security to aid riders.

| T-Rex Walked on Toes: New Research Reveals Dinosaurs Speed & Gait |
| Posted on Thursday, March 05 @ 00:02:09 PST (6 reads) | |
|
|
The tyrannosaurus rex, often hailed as the “king of the dinosaurs,” wasn’t just a fearsome predator; it walked with a surprisingly light step. New research suggests this colossal creature moved and ran by primarily balancing on its toes, a gait more akin to modern birds than the lumbering image often portrayed in popular culture. Understanding how the t. Rex moved is a key piece in reconstructing the life of this iconic species, and a team from the college of the atlantic has taken a novel approach to unraveling this mystery.
while paleontologists have unearthed a wealth of t. Rex fossils, details about its locomotion have remained elusive. Researchers began by taking precise measurements of the dinosaur’s legs and feet, then integrated this data into equations to estimate its speed. The team then modeled three potential ways the t. Rex’s feet could have contacted the ground – heel-first, mid-foot, or toe-first – comparing these models to data gathered from both humans and ostriches. This comparative approach, combined with analysis of fossilized footprints, has revealed a fascinating insight into the gait of this apex predator.
the study, detailed in recent reports, found that the deepest impressions in fossilized footprints were located under the toes, indicating that tyrannosaurs primarily walked on the front of their feet. By comparing the different models, scientists discovered that this toe-first movement would have been the most efficient method for rapid movement. This allowed the dinosaurs to take more steps in less time, potentially increasing their maximum speed by as much as 20%. Conversely, a t. Rex walking with the entire plant of its foot on the ground would have been significantly slower, according to the research.
a bowed stance for a powerful predator
scientists estimate that a moving tyrannosaurus rex could reach speeds between 5 and 11 meters per second, roughly 15 to 30 kilometers per hour (9 to 19 miles per hour). Tyrannosaurus rex, weighing approximately 10 tons, achieved this speed with a gait surprisingly similar to that of modern birds. This toe-first walking style also impacted how the dinosaur managed its immense weight.
humans tend to run with relatively stiff steps, like a spring, while a t. Rex would have moved with a bowed stance, requiring quick, successive steps to maintain balance. By relying on its toes, the dinosaur could use its legs as shock absorbers, helping it maintain equilibrium even on uneven terrain. This adaptation would have been crucial for navigating the prehistoric landscapes of what is now western north america, known as laramidia during the late cretaceous period.
the research builds on decades of study into the tyrannosauridae family, which includes the t. Rex. Britannica details the extensive fossil record of this genus, allowing scientists to piece together its anatomy and behavior. The latest findings add a new layer of understanding to the dinosaur’s physical capabilities, challenging previous assumptions about its movement.
implications for understanding predatory behavior
the way a predator moves directly impacts its hunting strategy. A faster, more agile t. Rex would have been a more effective hunter, capable of pursuing prey with greater efficiency. The toe-first gait suggests that the t. Rex wasn’t simply a brute-force predator, but a surprisingly nimble and adaptable hunter. This new understanding of its locomotion could also shed light on how it interacted with its environment and competed with other dinosaurs.
further research is planned to investigate the biomechanics of the t. Rex’s legs in greater detail, potentially using advanced computer simulations to recreate its movements. Scientists are also continuing to analyze fossilized footprints to gain further insights into the dinosaur’s gait and behavior. The ongoing study of the t. Rex continues to reveal new and surprising details about this magnificent creature, solidifying its place as one of the most fascinating animals to ever walk the earth.
the next step in this research involves a more detailed analysis of the muscle attachments on t. Rex leg bones, which will aid refine the biomechanical models and provide a more accurate picture of its movement capabilities. Researchers are also seeking additional fossilized footprints to expand the dataset and confirm their findings.
what do you reckon about this new understanding of the t. Rex? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and be sure to share this article with fellow dinosaur enthusiasts! |

| FSU builds huge lead, holds on for a narrow road victory over Pittsburgh |
| Posted on Thursday, March 05 @ 00:02:09 PST (5 reads) | |

Florida state (16-14, 9-8) dominated the pittsburgh panthers (11-19, 4-13) for the first 23 minutes of this one, opening up a 24 point lead and seemingly able to execute any offense they desired. But the shots stopped falling and the seminoles withstood a furious pitt rally on the panthers senior night. In the end, fsu found a way to make just enough plays at both ends to walk away with a 75-74 victory. The win assures fsu of at least a .500 record in acc play for coach loucks’ first season, quite an accomplishment after beginning conference play 0-5.
fsu builds huge lead, holds on for a narrow road victory over pittsburgh
this team is learning how to win.
first half
the game started off with the hurricanes making enough free throws down the stretch to hold off a late charge from smu—oh wait, that’s the other game we were forced to watch because tv executives still cannot fathom that college basketball games take longer than two hours. When the feed finally switched over to fsu, the seminoles led 13-8 at the under-16. The boxscore tells me that 6 of those 13 points came at the rim by way of a thomas bassong layup and two a.J. Swinton dunks.
chauncey wiggins kept the momentum going with five straight points, and then bassong and swinton continued to impress. Swinton drilled a three before bassong blocked a three at the other end, then ran the floor, was rewarded with a great lookahead pass from martin somerville, and then finished with authority. That dunk gave fsu a 12 point lead, 20-8.
pitt didn’t roll over a quit, though. The panthers cut the deficit in half with a 6-0 run that included a big dunk by former ‘nole cam corhen. Lajae jones said anything you can do i can do better, ending the run with a filthy two-handed slam after driving straight down main street, pushing the lead back to 22-14. Pitt cut the lead back to five thanks to offensive rebounding and in that same sequence fsu’s swinton went down with a bad looking leg injury. It looked like it could be a turning point for pittsburgh. However, robert mccray v and the seminoles weren’t having any of it.
a quick 5-0 run pushed the lead right back to double-digits. The two teams played some back-and-forth ball for a few minutes before mccray v assisted bassong on a nifty layup and then hit a deep three on the subsequent possession to push the margin out to 12, 34-22. One possession later, somerville drilled a three of his own and suddenly the seminoles led by 15. The lead would grow as large as 18 after mccray v finished a driving layup with 28 seconds left, but pitt went on a 5-0 burst aided by a technical on somerville for encouraging his teammate. The basketball gods made up for the weak t, as cam miles banked in a 40 footer as the first half horn sounded.
for the half, fsu scored 1.39 points per possession, making 8-14 from deep, and leading for over 19 minutes. Pitt was only as close as 16 thanks to 9 made free throws and a bevy of offensive rebounds.
second half
out of the locker room, florida state did exactly what you’d want to see: they came out swinging. The seminoles used suffocating defense and high execution offense to stun pitt with an 8-0 burst, opening up a 54-30 lead less than two minutes into the half. At that point in the game, fsu was shooting 10-16 from deep, while the panthers were just 1-12. But loucks’ team weren’t able to finish pitt off when they had them on the ropes. The panthers cut the margin down to 19 by the under-16, with barry dunning scoring 7 of pitt’s 9 quick points. Feeling the momentum, pittsburgh went back to their first half recipe for success utilizing offensive rebounds and turnovers to generate easy looks inside. By the time dunning hit a corner three with 11 minutes remaining, fsu’s lead was down to just nine, 60-51.
jones finally ended the 16-2 pitt run with three-points the old fashioned way. But dunning, a career 31% three point shooter, made his third triple of the half to cut right back to single digits. The margin hung around 9-11 points for about four minutes of play, though fsu missed several opportunities to stretch it back out to 13 or 14 with missed shots at the rim. Dunning then continued his dream senior night, making his 4th three of the half and 5th of the game, cutting the margin to 6, 67-61. Cam corhen followed up with a pair of free throws and fsu looked completely frazzled. All the shots that were falling, all the crisp passes, all the disruption on defense, disappeared into the oakland zoo.
at the under-4 media timeout, fsu had gone 5:37 without making a field goal, bricking dunks, open corner threes, and everything in between. At the other end, a familiar scene was playing out with fsu’s defense seemingly unable to stop a single player from going off, as dunning had 18 points on 7-9 shooting in 17 second half minutes.
the 68-63 score remained locked on the scoreboard from the 5:07 mark to 50.6 seconds, as a once free flowing game ground to a halt. Finally, jones knocked down a corner three to put fsu up by a much more comfortable 8 point margin. But the comfort didn’t last long as pitt raced down to the court and countered with a three of their own, making the score 71-66 with 44 seconds left. It looked for a moment like pitt had fsu in trouble with a corner trap, but somerville was strong with the ball, found miles along the baseline, who launched it downcourt to wiggins who was waiting under the basket for a dunk.
unfortunately, the next in-bounds didn’t go as well. After a pair of pitt free throws cut the lead back to five, cam miles turned the ball over to give the panthers the ball back and they took advantage with a three point bullseye. Fsu’s lead was down to 73-71 with 9.7 seconds remaining. Enter mccray v. The senior drilled two free throws to give fsu a 75-71 lead with 5.9 seconds left. Pitt would make a desperation three with 1 second left, but it only mattered for the gamblers.
boxscore and takeaway
- chief of the court - robert mccray v. Sure, he was only 4-16 from the field. But the senior made important plays when they mattered with the two free throws at the end being the biggest. His 6 boards and 6 assists were huge too.
- for whatever reason, fsu has been much better on the road this season than at home. Much of that road success is due to shooting success. Coming into this game, the ‘noles were shooting 36.3% from deep in acc road games compared to 27.8% in league home games (worst in the conference). Making things worse, opponents are shooting 38.6% from three against fsu in tallahassee. This win gives fsu a 6-3 mark on the road league play this year, which is the most acc road wins for a seminoles team since they went 6-3 in the 2019-2020 season.
- from a metrics standpoint, this was a missed opportunity. Pull off a 20-30 point road win when you are basically a pick’em and that would rocket you up the kenpom, torvik, and net ranks. But truthfully, the metrics don’t really matter much anymore for this year’s team. What does matter is setting a foundation for what kind of culture will be established and expected in the luke loucks era and wins like this are fantastic for doing just that. Just about nothing went the seminoles’ way over the final 15 minutes of the game, but the players battled and scratched and clawed their way to a win. Learning how to win is a skill just like dribbling and shooting, and pulling out games like this is part of that development for youngsters like somerville, bassong, and miles.
up next
the seminoles return home for senior day against the smu mustangs. One of two acc opponents the ‘noles play twice this season, fsu dropped a hard fought battle in dallas 83-80 on january 24th. Florida state compiled a phenomenal senior day record under coach ham, going 19-4 in his career and winning 10 of his last 11. Luke loucks, who won his senior day 80-72 over clemson, will be looking to follow in his mentor’s footsteps.

| Paying for School: Basics of College Financial Aid |
| Posted on Thursday, March 05 @ 00:02:09 PST (6 reads) | |
|
|
Thinking about college, career school or graduate school? If so, there is a lot to consider when it comes to getting ready for college, including how to secure financial aid.
college financial aid helps students and their families by covering higher education expenses, such as tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation.
as a father with a son getting ready to finish high school next year, i am looking at all the resources that can help besides personal family savings.
there are several types of financial aid:
• grants
• scholarships
• loans
• work-study and other programs
families can usually get financial assistance through these four sources:
• federal aid
• state aid
• institutional aid
• private agencies and foundations
listed below is a matrix of federal assistance:
the free application for federal student aid (fafsa) is the form you need to fill out to get any financial aid from the federal government to help pay for college.
each year, more than 13 million students who file the fafsa get more than $120 billion in grants, work-study, and low-interest loans from the u.S. Department of education.
colleges independently determine financial need by subtracting your expected family contribution (efc) from the average cost of attendance at a college, which typically includes tuition and fees, room and board, materials such as textbooks and school supplies, and travel expenses.
the efc is calculated in the free application for federal student aid (fafsa) and then used by colleges’ financial aid staff to determine how much financial aid you would receive if you were to attend their school.
when you fill out the fafsa, you submit information about you and your family’s income and financial assets, as well as how much you and your family are expecting to contribute to your college tuition.
choose wisely
once you select the educational institution you are looking to attend, now you need to understand based on your financial situation how you are going to finance it.
take time to understand the total cost of attendance, including tuition and fees, note, that most educational institutions raise prices every year. On average, tuition tends to increase about 8% per year.
an 8% college inflation rate means that the cost of college doubles every nine years.
now you want to subtract the total amount of scholarships and grants you estimate that you will receive each year. How much can contribute each year? If you can’t save enough, it is time that you look into the loan as well as interest rates.
lastly, look for additional ways to help pay it down such as a part-time job or possible military tuition assistance.
try to control the amount of debt you are going to accumulate through school. Sure, it is a lot of fun to party and go on spring break. However, don’t let the banks and credit card companies tease you with credit card opportunities to later bite you when you graduate.
the last thing you want to have when you graduate is a big student loan debt and high-interest credit card payments when starting a new career. Remember, people don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan, so take time now to look at the big picture! |

| UNI Launches New Special Education Bachelors Degree Program |
| Posted on Thursday, March 05 @ 00:02:09 PST (6 reads) | |
|
|
Addressing iowa’s teacher shortage: uni’s new special education degree and the future of inclusive learning the university of northern iowa (uni) is taking a significant step to address the growing demand for qualified special education teachers in iowa with the launch of a new bachelor of arts in special and inclusive education this fall. This program, recently approved by the iowa board of regents, marks the first time uni will offer a dedicated bachelor’s degree in this critical field, building upon its long-standing special education minor.
the rising need for specialized educators iowa, like many states, is facing a shortage of special education professionals. This shortage impacts students with disabilities, potentially hindering their access to the individualized support they need to thrive. The new degree program at uni directly responds to this challenge, aiming to increase the pipeline of skilled educators prepared to meet the diverse needs of iowa’s student population.
previously, students interested in special education at uni pursued a minor, qualifying them for instructional strategist endorsements. The new major expands these opportunities, allowing students to pursue all three available endorsements: instructional strategist i (mild and moderate k–8), instructional strategist i (mild and moderate 5–12) and instructional strategist ii (intellectual disabilities k-12). This flexibility is crucial, as school districts increasingly seek teachers capable of supporting a wide range of student needs.
beyond traditional classrooms: the evolution of inclusive education the program’s focus on “inclusive education” reflects a broader shift in pedagogical approaches. Inclusive education emphasizes integrating students with disabilities into general education classrooms whenever appropriate, fostering a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all. This model requires teachers to be adept at differentiating instruction, collaborating with specialists, and creating accessible learning experiences.
“many classes today are team taught,” notes sarah vander zanden, head of the department of literacy, early childhood and special education at uni. “It’s cost-effective, while tailoring instruction to all kids.” This collaborative approach is a key component of the new program, preparing graduates to work effectively with colleagues and support students in diverse settings.
online learning and expanding access uni plans to initially enroll 10 to 20 students annually in the new program, with future plans to develop an online track. This online option will be particularly valuable for students in rural areas or those with scheduling constraints, expanding access to quality special education training across the state. The online component will complement existing online transfer programs in early childhood and elementary education.
the impact of iowa code changes the launch of this program was made possible by a recent change in iowa state code, which for the first time allowed bachelor’s degrees in special education. This legislative update demonstrates a commitment to addressing the teacher shortage and prioritizing the needs of students with disabilities.
did you know? Uni boasts a 99% employment or continued education rate for recent teacher graduates, highlighting the university’s strong track record in preparing successful educators.
future trends in special and inclusive education the development at uni aligns with several key trends shaping the future of special and inclusive education:
increased emphasis on co-teaching: collaborative models, where general and special education teachers work together in the same classroom, are becoming increasingly common. Technology integration: assistive technology and digital learning tools are playing a growing role in supporting students with disabilities. Personalized learning: tailoring instruction to meet the individual needs of each student, regardless of ability, is a central tenet of inclusive education. Early intervention: identifying and addressing learning challenges early on is crucial for maximizing student success. Faq q: what endorsements will graduates of the uni program be eligible for?
a: graduates can qualify for instructional strategist i (mild and moderate k–8), instructional strategist i (mild and moderate 5–12), and instructional strategist ii (intellectual disabilities k-12) endorsements.
q: will the program be available online?
a: uni plans to develop an online track in the future.
q: how many students will uni aim to enroll each year?
a: the program aims to enroll 10 to 20 students annually.
q: what prompted the creation of this new degree program?
a: the program was created in response to iowa’s growing need for special education teachers and a recent change in state code.
pro tip: if you’re considering a career in education, explore opportunities for scholarships and financial aid to aid offset the cost of tuition.

| From Buttercup to Miranda warnings: a conversation with UMN Law alum Jim Hale |
| Posted on Thursday, March 05 @ 00:02:09 PST (6 reads) | |
|
|
A university of minnesota law school cold call gave jim hale a nickname he never forgot.
during a first-year class, professor arthur r. Miller, the rumored inspiration behind the strict law professor-character rudolph perini in scott turow’s book “one l,” pressed hale during a socratic exchange.
“he said, ‘mr. Hale, what do you think is the point of this case?’ And i explained it to him, and he said, ‘mr. Hale, i think your reasoning is that a buttercup is a flower, and therefore, all flowers are buttercups. Is that what you mean, mr. Hale?’” Hale recalled.
for the next six weeks, miller referred to hale as “buttercup” during class.
hale said, however, the interaction became the start of a lasting relationship. After the course, miller offered him a paid research job, and hale made a lasting impression on miller as one of his greatest students.
“it is now 62 or 63 years later, and i have believed throughout that time jim is among the very finest i have encountered,” miller said. “He has been a wonderful member of the legal profession, and i admire him in so many ways. I only regret that life has not brought us closer together.”
more than six decades later, hale’s legal career has taken him to great heights. He is said to have one of the highest gpas in the university of minnesota law school’s history, clerked at the u.S. Supreme court for chief justice earl warren, and has held several senior leadership roles at target corporation. Outside of work, he has taught university courses in law and business, served on the board of directors of several organizations, including non-profits and has written and recorded more than 100 songs.
but hale, a 1965 graduate of the university’s law school, was put off the idea of becoming a lawyer early on. In a high school social studies class, he interviewed a lawyer to see whether the profession might suit him.
“he hated the practice of law,” hale said. “That’s what he did for a living, but he didn’t like it at all. So i thought, ‘well, i’m not going to do that.’”
hale changed his mind, however, during a conversation with his political science professor in his senior year at dartmouth college.
“he said, ‘if you don’t know what you want to do, go to law school.’ And that’s what i did,” hale said.
as class valedictorian, hale could choose between the top law schools in the country. Hale had been married for two years at that point, and the choice fell on minnesota primarily because of family.
“that’s where we wanted to live,” hale said. “That’s where i wanted to practice law.”
after law school, hale clerked for chief justice warren at the supreme court. One of the landmark cases during that term was miranda v. Arizona, the 1966 decision that established the requirement that suspects be informed of key rights before custodial interrogation.
because warren delivered the majority opinion of miranda v. Arizona, hale and one of warren’s other clerks helped draft language for the opinion that set out the requirements that are now called the miranda warning.
hale said that one particularly important part of the warning was including the explanation that an attorney would be provided for defendants who could not afford one.
“the feeling was that had to be stated because if the defendant is being told for the first time he has a right to an attorney, and he knows he doesn’t have a nickel to spend on an attorney, then at least he needs to also know that one would be provided for him,” hale said.
after clerking for a year, hale went on to private legal practice and later held a number of executive roles at target. His work in the legal field has earned him several prestigious accolades, including the library of congress’s “legend in the law” award.
jim said it is important for him to give back to the community, and he has done so in many ways. One of his law-related initiatives was becoming the founding chairman of the fund for the legal aid society, an organization whose sole function was to raise money to support legal aid lawyers.
“i think the first event we had raised something like $100,000, and i’m told it now raises a million dollars a year for legal aid. I’m pretty proud of that one,” hale said.
hale also said music remained a parallel interest throughout his life and career. A longtime friend gave him a harmonica in 1984, and he began teaching himself to play.
“i spent the whole first summer floating around in an inner tube at our lake home and learning how to play one tune,” hale said.
he later began recording with friends through a studio arrangement that grew out of a charity fundraiser, and he now plays harmonica in studio sessions and with local bands in different genres. He even wrote a song making light of the “legend in the law” award he had previously gotten.
“a ‘legend in the law’ seemed just a little arrogant,” hale said.
hale said he finds songwriting to be a meaningful creative outlet.
“i especially like to write songs about my family, about my grandkids,” he said. “And then when i get worked up, i write something about the political situation.”
asked what advice he would give current university students, hale encouraged them to be intentional about the jobs they accept.
“there’s a good chance you’re going to have opportunities to take jobs that are really meaningful,” hale said. “To the extent you possibly can, do that. Don’t just settle for any job — settle for a job you’re going to enjoy.” |

| Food Insecurity Surges on UofSC Campus and in Midlands Households |
| Posted on Thursday, March 05 @ 00:02:09 PST (5 reads) | |
|
|
Columbia sc – march 4, 2026 | by sydney vaughn
what’s happening
what percentage of midlands and uofsc households face food insecurity?
approximately 14.4% of households in the midlands area and on the university of south carolina campus are currently experiencing food insecurity.
what factors are contributing to the rise in food insecurity in south carolina?
key factors include persistent inflation, escalating housing costs at a median of $1,391, and recent adjustments to federal poverty regulations.
how has demand increased for local food assistance programs?
the gamecock community shop saw a 300% increase in shoppers last summer, serving at least 100 individuals daily.
what initiatives are in place to help food-insecure residents in the midlands?
initiatives include foodshare sc’s ‘no-cook boxes’ for colleges and the grace market, which launched in january offering digital grocery gift cards.
food insecurity is affecting 14.4% of households in columbia’s midlands area and on the university of south carolina campus, surpassing the national average. Persistent inflation, rising housing costs, and changes to federal poverty regulations are key drivers. Local aid organizations, like the gamecock community shop, report a significant increase in demand for their services.
food insecurity challenges midlands and university of south carolina campus
food insecurity is significantly impacting households across columbia’s midlands area and on the university of south carolina campus, with a reported 14.4% of households currently affected. This figure exceeds the national average of 12.2% for food scarcity. The rise in food insecurity, which intensified towards the end of 2025, is primarily attributed to persistent inflation, escalating housing costs, and recent adjustments to federal poverty regulations.
increasing strain on local support services
the growing crisis has led to a marked increase in demand for services from local organizations dedicated to providing food assistance. The gamecock community shop, an on-campus resource for university of south carolina students, faculty, and staff, has experienced a substantial surge in need. Its executive director noted a 300% increase in shoppers during the past summer alone, with the shop serving at least 100 individuals daily and distributing approximately 1,000 items each day.
similarly, the brookland-lakeview empowerment center in west columbia has seen immense increases in families seeking free food and freshly grown produce. This center offers a food pantry, a community garden, and food box services tailored for senior citizens.
contributing factors to rising food scarcity
several economic and regulatory factors are exacerbating the food insecurity situation in the region. Inflation continues to place a heavy burden on residents, affecting their purchasing power for essential goods. Housing costs also represent a significant challenge, with the median rent in south carolina reported at $1,391, impacting household budgets. Changes in federal poverty regulations are anticipated to result in thousands of individuals losing benefits, further increasing their vulnerability to food insecurity. Additionally, a lack of access to healthy whole foods contributes to the issue. South carolina is currently ranked as one of the states with the highest rates of food insecurity, holding the seventh-worst position nationally.
the concept of “food deserts” and “food swamps” in lexington and richland counties also plays a role, highlighting areas with abundant unhealthy food options but limited access to nutritious choices. To counteract these challenges, initiatives like foodshare sc have provided “no-cook boxes” to colleges in the midlands, including the university of south carolina, for nearly four years through grants and donations. A new effort, the grace market, launched in january to offer digital gift cards for groceries to food-insecure residents.

Ryan eigenbrode mens lacrosse 3/4/2026 8:36:00 pm homestand continues saturday when mens lacrosse hosts friars game information opponent providence friars date saturday, march 7, 2026 time 12:00 p.M. Location baltimore, md. | Ridley athletic complex getting there | watch espn+ online media live stats tickets purchase game notes quick hits loyola university maryland mens lacrosse continues its five-game homestand on saturday, march 7, when it hosts providence college in a 12 noon faceoff at ridley athletic complex. Loyola played its first four games on the road this year with the opening three coming in the 410 area code. Mason cook has led the greyhounds in scoring in each of their four three games, scoring three times against both maryland and johns hopkins before recording four at umbc and eight at colgate. He then had three against towson. The hat tricks give him seven in his career, all of which have come in the last nine games (dating back to 2025). Loyola returned 97.69 percent of its goals scored, 96.55 percent of its assists, 88.89 of its faceoffs won and all of its goalie saves from last year. Charley toomey is in his 21st season as head coach of the greyhounds. It is also his 30th year as a member of the loyola staff and 34th with the program, including four as a student-athlete. The greyhounds are in their 17th season of competition at ridley athletic complex, which opened in 2010. The greyhounds are 76-35 (.684) all-time at the stadium. Looking back loyola starting attack combined for 11 goals and six assists tuesday night, and the greyhounds led wire-to-wire for a 17-13 victory over visiting towson. Kenan everhart set new career highs in all three categories with five goals, four assists and nine points, while matthew minicus and mason cook each had three goals and an assist. Carson hall tied his career-high with 17 faceoff wins and set a new best with nine ground ball to help loyola control the possession game, and max watkinson made 14 saves in goal. Connor wilbur one-timed an everhart assist from behind to score 57 seconds later, kicking off a 6-1 loyola run that would see the greyhounds (3-2 overall) lead 8-2 after a minicus goal 2:15 into the second quarter. The greyhounds got three of the second halfs first four goals in the opening 4:20 of the period, first when murphy grabbed a ground ball off a rebound and scored, then when miles halter rolled the crease for his first of the season. Everhart capped the stretch with a goal off a cook assist at 10:40, and the greyhounds were up, 12-5. The lead would be 3+ the rest of the way. Watch the game saturdays game against towson will stream live on espn+. All loyola home games will be on the espn+ platform, and international viewers can watch on sidearm. Series history loyola and providence started a home-and-home series last year and will meet for the second time in series history on saturday. Providence took a 12-11 decision on its home field in the first meeting on march 8, 2025. Loyola led 5-4 at halftime and then took a 7-6 lead with 7:52 to go in the third quarter on back-to-back goals by luke murphy and will mcculloch. The game had two ties and two lead changes over the next eight minutes with the friars going up 9-8 on a jack horrigan goal 18 seconds into the fourth quarter. Matthew minicus tied it for the greyhounds less than two minutes later, but providence went on a 3-0 run between 6:07 and 5:02 to take a 12-9 advantage. Kenan everhart and minicus scored for loyola at 2:33 and 1:01 to draw the greyhounds within one. Carson hall won the final faceoff, and loyola had two shots that went off target before time expired. Sharper shots loyolas top three team shooting percentages of the 2026 season have all come in the last three games. After shooting .263 in the season-opener at maryland (10 goals, 38 shots), the greyhounds shot .219 at johns hopkins (7 of 32). Since then, however, loyola shot .279 at umbc (12 of 43) and .361 at colgate (13 of 36). The teams season-best to-date came on march 3 in the home opener versus towson when it converted 42 shots into 17 goals, a .404 mark. Not surprisingly, loyolas assist numbers have gone up, too, over the last three. Loyola had eight assists in the first two games, good for a 47 percent assist rate. Since then, the greyhounds have assisted on 73.8 percent of goals. That number was aided by all 13 goals at colgate coming with assists. Cook-ing on attack mason cook missed the 2025 seasons fall practice with an injury, but he got up to speed in his first season at loyola. He saw an increased role on offense over the greyhounds last eight games, making his first collegiate start against providence on march 8 and nailing down a spot in the opening 10 since. Cook exploded for 10 points on five goals and five assists against holy cross and scored two more against navy to bring his season totals to 17 goals, seven assists and 24 points. He is the only freshman in ncaa division i to post 10 points in a game this year, and he is the first loyola freshman to do so since pat spencer had five goals and five assists in the 2016 patriot league championship game against army west point. In the last five games (since bucknell) of the year, cook had 12 goals and five assists, while shooting .363 (12 of 33). Now a sophomore, cook picked up where he left off with hat tricks in each of the greyhounds first four games of 2026. He now has six games with three or more goals over the last eight he has played. Cook scored a career-high eight goals on february 28 at colgate. He is the most-recent loyola player to score eight or more since kevin lindley did so against the raiders in march 2019. This year, cook has scored 21 goals to go with two assists in the five contests. He leads the patriot league, and is fourth in ncaa division i, in goals per game (4.2) and is third in points per game (4.6). Standing up in starting role the 2025 season was max watkinsons first as a full-time starter for the greyhounds in goal; the baltimore native started two games in 2024 before taking over the job in 2025. He posted solid numbers in 14 games with 10 or more saves in 13 of the games. Watkinson posted his top save total with a career-high 19 at rutgers, and he had three other games with 15 or more (at providence, 15; at bucknell, 17; at towson, 17). Last season, watkinson made 189 saves in 14 contests (13.5 per game), with a 55.1 saves percentage; he ranked sixth nationally in saves per game. In the final game of the 2025 regular-season, he moved into 10th in loyola single-season history, passing his head coachs total of 188 in 1990. This year, in the first five games, watkinson has made 11 or more saves in each to give him 19 games with 10 or more saves in 21 outings as a starter between the pipes. He is second in the patriot league in both saves percentage (.523) and saves per game (13.6). Steady presence matthew minicus opened the 2025 season, his junior campaign at loyola, with a four-point effort against georgetown, and the multi-point games continued to trend. Through the start of 2026, he has 25 career multi-goal outings and 17 multi-assist performances. Last year, he led loyola with 52 points on 25 goals and 27 assists, earning all-patriot league second team recognition for the second year in a row. He registered his 100th career point with a first-quarter assist against rutgers on february 21, 2025. After he was held without a point for just the third time in his career on march 29, 2025, at lehigh, minicus finished 2025 with 26 points (4.8 per game) on 17 goals (3.4) and nine assists (1.8) in the last five games of 2025. His 52 points and 27 assists were career highs through three seasons. He broke out for seven points with a pair of goals and five assists at colgate, and he then scored three times with an assist against towson; he is tied for fifth in the patriot league in assists per game (2.0). Minicus has played in 49 games, starting all but one, for the greyhounds and already has 160 points with 92 goals and 68 assists. He moved into 13th all-time at loyola in points against towson, and his 68 assists are 12th in school history. With eight more goals, hell become the 15th player to play at loyola with 100 in a career. Coming together kenan everhart missed all of his freshman season (2024) with an injury, and he then missed a chunk of time in 2025, finishing the year with nine goals and seven assists. This season, he has eclipsed both of those totals in just five games with 11 goals and 10 assists. He tied his to-date career-high with four goals at umbc, and a week later went for a career-best four assists at colgate. Three days later, he scored five times and assisted on four more in loyolas win over towson. He enters the providence game tied for fifth in the patriot league with 4.2 points per game; he is tied for fifth with matthew minicus with 2.0 assists. Attack on the wing miles halter is listed on the greyhounds roster as a member of the gryehounds attack, and he will play below goal-line, but hes found a new home on the wing of loyolas faceoff unit. Halter started to see his most extended playing time on faceoff wings at umbc and had three ground balls against the retrievers. In the last two games versus colgate and towson, hes had four in each. He also scored his first goal of the season against the tigers. Close d experience loyola starting close defense from the season-opener at maryland brought a considerable amount of experience to the field. Joe houlihan returned to the team this season as a graduate student who started every game in 2024 and 2025, and jake wilson started each game in 2025. Chase gregory moved down low as a starter on close after beginning his career as a long-stick midfielder who was at the top of the greyhounds rotation at that position before an injury cut short his 2025 campaign. The trio has combined for 39 ground balls and 16 caused turnovers in the first five games of the 2026 season. Toomeys team charley toomey is in his 21st year as the head coach at loyola and his 30th as a member of the greyhounds coaching staff. Overall, he is in his 34th year on the evergreen campus, including his four seasons as a student-athlete from 1986-90. Toomey has a 190-114 career record. Early in the 2016 season, toomey became the second coach in program history to reach and cross the 100-win plateau; he became the schools all-time leader in wins in 2024, passing dave cottles 181. In january 2019, toomey was named to the coaching staff of the u.S. Mens national team as an assistant coach. He was an assistant for the gold-medal-winning team at the 2023 world championships in san diego. Toomey will again be an assistant for team usa in preparation for and competition at the 2027 championships in japan. Up next loyolas five-game homestand continues with a march 14 home game at 12 noon against patriot league foe lehigh.

| MSU Denver Food Pantry Gets MBA Boost to Combat Rising Demand |
| Posted on Thursday, March 05 @ 00:02:09 PST (5 reads) | |
|
|
Denver – a surge in student demand is prompting metropolitan state university of denver to bolster support at rowdy’s corner, the campus food pantry. Faced with a nearly 70% increase in usage last semester, the university is partnering with mba students to develop a long-term sustainability plan for the vital resource.
rowdy’s corner provides a critical lifeline for students facing food insecurity, offering basic nutritional food, snacks, and pantry staples. “I’ve been using rowdy’s corner for almost three years now and it really just provides peace of mind and a stress-free place where i recognize that i can get food on a hard day and notice welcoming people and just get what i need,” said chase jurgaitis, an msu denver student.
to address the growing demand, 35 graduate students in professor paul anderson’s course on integrative and strategic perspectives of organizations are acting as business consultants, crafting a three-to-five-year plan to ensure the pantry can continue to serve the student body. The project emphasizes a “triple bottom line” approach, considering not just financial sustainability, but also the environmental and social impact of the pantry’s operations.
“in business, we look at like the triple bottom line, not just the profit, but the planet and the people,” explained professor anderson. “This is a great opportunity for these capstone students to really take something that’s viable from a curriculum perspective, and then take it to another level, which would be serving their people, their communities and society as a greater whole.”
developing a strategic roadmap
the mba students are divided into four groups, each tasked with developing a comprehensive proposal. These plans will include detailed research, executive summaries, and step-by-step guides for the pantry’s future operations. According to anderson, the proposals, expected to be 30 to 40 pages in length, will be delivered to rowdy’s corner leadership the following week.
the timing of this initiative is crucial, as broader economic factors are contributing to increased food insecurity among college students. “There’s definitely been some changes with snap benefits and just food insecurity in general in the last six months, and that’s also part of like the strategic plan which is to allow rowdy’s corner to be able to forecast some of those changes into the future,” anderson said. “Also thinking about the geopolitical landscape, legal landscape, technological landscapes.”
the students’ perform will also consider technological solutions and the evolving landscape of food assistance programs. The ultimate goal is to equip rowdy’s corner with the tools and forecasting capabilities needed to adapt to future challenges and continue providing essential support to msu denver students.
addressing a growing need
rowdy’s corner, overseen by the health center at auraria, is committed to providing a welcoming and dignified experience for all students, offering a range of food options to accommodate dietary restrictions and cultural preferences. The pantry strives to source products locally and regionally, providing nutritious and culturally relevant food choices, including vegan, vegetarian, halal, and kosher options. More information about rowdy’s corner can be found on the msu denver website.
the increase in demand at rowdy’s corner reflects a national trend of rising food insecurity among college students. The mba students’ sustainability plan aims to ensure the pantry can continue to meet this growing need and support the well-being of the msu denver community. “The outcome is for the long-term sustainability of rowdy’s corner. So being able to serve the students, being able to adjust the long-term sustainability of rowdy’s corner and ensure that they’re equipped with the tools and the forecasting to be able to grow msu denver,” anderson stated.
as the proposals are reviewed and implemented, rowdy’s corner will be better positioned to navigate the challenges ahead and continue serving as a vital resource for students facing food insecurity.
