I do. There is a lot of undulation. Greens are running amazing. Just got to make a lot of the putts out here, as in any match play." The part that stands out there is "small greens." This U.S. Team is so good at hitting greens, and it sound like that's going to be more difficult than usual this week at Royal Montreal. Keep an eye on strokes gained on approach on Thursday and Friday. It's always a tell, but I'm guessing the team that actually takes a bit of a more conservative approach will lead in that category and in the matches. Rick Gehman, Kyle Porter, Patrick McDonald and Greg DuCharme preview the 2024 Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal. Follow & listen to The First Cut on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

short-field scoring drives, big momentum changes via big and dramatic plays. All of this allows an offense that struggles to do enough to win. This is a clone of Whittingham’s success over his tenure. And why not? Sitake, Jay Hill, Gary Andersen and Chad Kauha’aha’a all worked for Whittingham. We’ve learned that QB Jake Retzlaff is making better decisions, is capable of elite throws (TD pass to Chase Roberts), and is a far better quarterback than he was in Week 1 and 2 of this season. We learned BYU’s defense is top 25 and capable of bending but not breaking in the red zone — this has been a consistent feature of this Hill defense this season. We also learned that this team has great chemistry, players are trusting coaches and each other. That’s a recipe for success. BYU’s fortunes at Baylor this weekend will hinge on avoiding turnovers while getting some takeaways. If this happens, I’d expect BYU to go 5-0. Prediction: BYU 24, Baylor 21 Cougar tales BYU’s 38-9 upset of No. 13 Ka...

History and culture can help us understand influences on behavior but they can easily be overstated; nothing accurately predicts complex human behavior in war. This historico-cultural context is a necessary starting point to help identify the point at which the Russians are more or less likely to quit. A great deal of scholarship about Russian history and culture focuses on several key factors that shape the country’s approach to conflict: trauma, nationalism, spirituality, and fatalism. All four of these factors are closely interwoven and effectively inseparable: Trauma feeds fatalism, fatalism and spirituality feed nationalism, nationalism reinforces fatalism, and so on. All these compelling factors emerge repeatedly in modern Russian propaganda, literature, video, and, perhaps most importantly, in the fleeting but often forthright insights from Russian civilians and soldiers. They culminate in what may best be described by the late scholar Evgeny Yasin as a “tragic passivity” tha...

Profits Over Patient Care Is Bad Medicine Support unbiased journalism in Connecticut. Join CT Mirror’s members today and make an impact. Health care in Connecticut is facing a challenge from the growing emergence of for-profit private equity firms owning hospitals and operating health care networks in the U.S. The problem is that these facilities are being used solely to make money and then discarded when no more profit can be had. As a doctor and state senator, I understand that this is a prescription for bad medicine. Prospect Medical Holdings Inc., a private equity organization based in California that owns 16 hospitals and 166 outpatient medical centers, years ago bought Rockville General Hospital, Manchester Memorial Hospital, Waterbury Hospital, and Eastern Connecticut Health Network. These hospitals and patient care networks are financially struggling while Prospect cuts funding for needed services to make profits. Also relevant is that Prospect made huge profits while its h...

Non-Profit Organizations With Impact Nonprofits with Impact getty I learned a lot about the Job Sphere during my time in the not-for-profit sector (though I didn’t call it that at the time). Let’s start with what we were doing. By the IRS’s definition, as employees of 501c3 organizations, what we were doing was “good” for the people we served, as described in our mission statement. In reality, I saw a lot of useless efforts: some of what we did didn’t meet those people’s needs and, worse, some caused harm due to how we did it. I was hired to do a needs assessment of local youth centers in Palestine that a major global funder was considering as grant recipients. The funding came with a requirement to meet a 50/50 gender mix for participants in the centers’ programs within one year. There were a few brave families in this conservative community who started sending their daughters to one of the centers after having gotten over concerns of physical safety, philosophical differences, an...

for what you need. "They should prepare for higher health costs; things like mobility issues. You don't really think about that, but a lot of times that's not always covered. When a mobility issue comes up, you'll have to pay out of pocket for it," she said. That's where your emergency fund can come in. Your emergency fund should be larger to protect your retirement account, Wheaton said. "You generally don't want to pull large sums of money from retirement accounts at one time. If you do have an emergency or a medical expense you have to pay for, it's nice to pull it out of your emergency fund, as opposed to pulling it from your retirement account." That way, your retirement money will continue growing and be there when you need it, while your emergency fund will help to make sure the unexpected is covered, too.
