Cowboys will not bring back head coach Mike McCarthy, reports say

According to several sources, head coach Mike McCarthy will not return to the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to the 2020 season, McCarthy inked a five-year deal with the Cowboys, which expires on Tuesday. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Dallas and McCarthy were negotiating a new contract but were unable to agree on terms. McCarthy led the Cowboys to a 49-35 record in his five seasons as head coach. He has the fourth-best winning % in franchise history at.583. From 2021 to 2023, McCarthy coached three consecutive 12-5 teams, although he had a difficult playoff season, winning only one of his four games.

Biden’s total student debt relief passes $183 billion, after he forgives another 150,000 borrowers

President Joe Biden declared in his last days in office that his administration will cancel over 150,000 debtors' school loans. 85,000 persons who attended institutions that misled and cheated on their pupils, 61,000 borrowers who have a total and permanent handicap, and an additional 6,100 public sector employees will receive this relief, Biden said in a statement. "I'm proud to say we have forgiven more student loan debt than any other administration in history," Biden said, adding that he had pledged from the beginning of his term to make sure that higher education is a ticket to the middle class rather than a barrier to opportunity. Over 5 million federal student loan debtors have had their debt forgiven by Biden since he assumed office, providing a total of $183.6 billion in relief. T...

Texas man arrested for allegedly threatening and stalking Caitlin Clark

Authorities stated Monday that a guy who traveled from Texas to Indianapolis was taken into custody on suspicion of stalking WNBA player Caitlin Clark. Marion County prosecutors filed a complaint alleging that 55-year-old Michael Thomas Lewis of Denton engaged in a "course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of Caitlin Clark that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized," leading to one count of stalking. Prosecutors said Lewis, who was arrested Sunday in Indianapolis, used X to send a slew of obscene, sexually suggestive messages to the WNBA's rookie of the year between December 16 and January 2. "Has been very fearful since learning of the messages and that she has altered her public appearances and patterns of movement due to fear for her safety," Clark told...

Dementia risk may be twice as high as Americans live longer, study finds

A study that was published on Monday in the journal Nature Medicine suggests that the risk of dementia may be far higher than previously believed. According to earlier research, roughly 14% of men and 23% of women will experience dementia at some point in their lives. That estimate is raised by the latest study to about 42% for both men and women. Not participating in the study, Dr. Ted Huey, director of the memory and aging department at Butler Hospital in Rhode Island, said, "I think this is going to be a very important study, and I think it is going to change the way we look at dementia." Dr. Josef Coresh, the director of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine's Optimal Aging Institute and the study's leader, stated that people living longer than previous generations are the main cause of ...
