Soccer -- For The Archives -- Olivia's High School Soccer Team -- Season's Opening Tournament -- And A Second Win -- January 6, 2024

Locator: 46472SOCCER.

 For the archives.

Olivia is captain of her high school soccer team. She is a senior this year. Last year, as a junior, she was also captain, and her team took the state championship in high school girls soccer in Texas. 

Today, their first tournament of the new year. Today, the second game of that tournament. They won their first game yesterday, 2 - 1.

This second game, score tied 1 - 1 near the end of the game. With twenty-five seconds left in the game!

Olivia gets a free corner kick. To the team's center back -- a header and a score. Olivia's team win 2 - 1.

Link here.

It is hard to see, but Olivia gets the free corner kick. It is absolutely perfect, right to the front and middle of the goal, and her teammate gets the header and the goal!

It Wasn't About Race, Plagiarism: It Was All About Money -- And Who Is On The Short List? January 6, 2024

Locator: 46469HARVARD.

From January 2, 2024, link:  

Breaking news: Harvard president resigns. About time. My hunch, one very powerful individual, thinking long term, weighed in. Note that "the governing board still 'stood by her.'"

The WSJ said on January 2, 2024, that "the board" still supported Ms Gay; in fact, the board, it appears, had made their decision (perhaps well) before December 27, 2023, when Ms Gay was on vacation in Rome for that Christmas spectacle.

From The New York Times today:

 
From Bloomberg:  

If this were a Shakespearian tragedy, we would now be in Act III, scene ii, where the story now shifts to Ackman vs Pritzker. 

The big piece of the story The NYT has yet to report, it the DEI piece. It would be nice to have had a paragraph or two on the DEI environment during the year-long search for the Harvard presidency that led to Gay's selection, and then a lengthy piece on where DEI stands today. One can get a flavor of where DEI stands today by googling. 

My hunch: the next president cannot be ...
an old white man; or,
an African-American female.

Those boxes have been checked.

What about a Native American female? That would be something different. And a Native American with a law degree from a stellar university and an incredibly strong academic background in Ivy League schools.

And someone who would have Obama's support -- perhaps the most important part of the puzzle.

Yes, we're talking about:

In case it's hard to read, or easy to skip over, from above:

• Warren joined the University of Pennsylvania Law School as a full professor in 1987 and obtained an endowed chair in 1990, becoming the William A. Schnader Professor of Commercial Law
• in 1992, she taught for a year at Harvard Law School as the Robert Braucher Visiting Professor of Commercial Law
• in 1995, Warren left Penn to become Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School
• in 1996, she became the highest-paid professor at Harvard University who was not an administrator, with a $181,300 salary and total compensation of $291,876, including moving expenses and an allowance in lieu of benefits contributions (Gay's compensation, as a returning faculty member will be in excess of $1 million dollars)
  
• as of 2011, she was Harvard's only tenured law professor who had attended law school at an American public university
• Warren was a highly influential law professor. She published in many fields, but her expertise was in bankruptcy and commercial law
• from 2005 to 2009, Warren was among the three most-cited scholars in those fields.
