Patrick Stevens' coverage of college sports in D.C./Baltimore/Virginia, just the same as ever
College football countdown: Nos. 36-40
Starting the final third of the countdown ...
If Charlie Weis could win 10 games with Tyrone Willingham's players, why not Steve Sarkisian?
OK, that might be a stretch. So, too, is imagining the Huskies charging to the top of the Pac-10 after six straight losing seasons.
Yes, Washington has Jake Locker at quarterback. And the Huskies certainly have a lot back from a team that upended Southern California and hammered California at home.
Some emphasis should be added to "at home."
Since 2003, the Huskies are 5-26 in Pac-10 road games, including 10 straight setbacks. Keith Gilbertson was the coach when U-Dub last beat a conference team headed for a winning season on the road:
2003 Oregon State: 8-5
2005 Arizona: 3-8
2006 Washington State: 6-6
2007 Stanford: 4-8
Now comes the fun part: Washington draws Oregon, Southern California, Arizona and California on the road (along with Rotten Apple Cup rival Washington State).
The Huskies should finally return to a bowl game for the first time since 2002. But a rerun of Notre Dame '06 --- tons of wins, great quarterback, BCS bowl berth, team composed mostly of guys Willingham brought in --- just doesn't seem likely despite Washington apparently being something of a trendy pick.
39. BRIGHAM YOUNG
A rundown of the programs with the most consecutive 10-win seasons:
9: Texas
6: Virginia Tech
5: Ohio State
4: Boise State
4: Brigham Young
3: Cincinnati
2: Alabama
2: Florida
2: Oregon
2: Penn State
2: Texas Christian
2: Utah
Bet you didn't realize the Cougars were so far up this list. It has a little something to do with the five straight Las Vegas Bowl invites Brigham Young has rolled up in that stretch. Every other team on the list has played in a BCS game in the last two years.
It'll be a struggle, though, to extend the streak to five seasons.
Brigham Young will replace its top passer, rusher and receiver. It plays Washington and Florida State in the first two weeks, and draws Mountain West favorites Texas Christian and Utah on the road.
Maybe the Cougars surpass this set of expectations, but getting to 10-3 this time around will be awfully difficult.
38. MICHIGAN STATE
The Spartans are sort of the Big Ten's equivalent of Connecticut, only with a lot more tradition, a much bigger stadium and quite an impressive recent history of quarterbacks.
They also can't do a whole lot against ranked teams.
Michigan State is 1-9 against top-25 foes in Mark Dantonio's three seasons, and a healthy 21-8 against everyone else. The lone win came last year against Michigan, a defeat that precipitated a 1-7 tailspin for the Wolverines.
Basically, Dantonio's done a good job. He's reached three bowl games, defeated Michigan and Notre Dame twice each and hasn't slapped his head during a postgame press conference. That's improvement for Sparty.
But has he done a great job? Probably not. This year represents a chance to get things headed in the right direction, and the fact Ohio State isn't on the schedule (again) should help. Michigan State doesn't cross the state line until Oct. 23, so there's an opportunity to get off to a good start and crack the top 25 in the season's early stages.
37. NAVY
Could this be the golden age of Navy football?
Well, maybe.
Let's line the last seven years up against the only realistic candidate that could match it --- the run from 1954 to 1963:
Category 1954-63 2003-09
Record 70-25-5 (.725)
Bowls 4 (2-2)
vs. Army
7-2-1 7-0
vs. Notre Dame
vs. Air Force
It all depends on what you're looking for, of course. And for many Navy fans, that 7-0 record against Army will trump a lot of things.
Realistically, it's an unfair comparison. The sport was different a half-century ago. Back then, Navy played in the Sugar, Cotton and Orange Bowls --- all in a seven-year span, and the professional game hadn't exploded to the point of making the service academies (and their military commitments) less desirable options to the best players.
Nonetheless, what Navy has done for the better part of the last decade is remarkable. With much of the offense --- including quarterback Ricky Dobbs and his 27 rushing touchdowns --- back and a manageable schedule that includes just four true road games, the Midshipmen are well-position for another strong year.
Will it be a top-25 campaign for Navy? Perhaps. Chances are, Dobbs will need another 1,000-yard rushing/1,000-yard passing season to pull that off. If he does, he'd join this list of players with two or more seasons in the 1,000-1,000 Club:
Beau Morgan, Air Force 1995-06
Joshua Cribbs, Kent State 2001-02
Brad Smith, Missouri, 2002-03, 2005
Vince Young, Texas, 2004-05
Patrick White, West Virginia, 2006-07
Colin Kaepernick, Nevada, 2008-09
36. ARIZONA
There is a lot to like about the Wildcats' offense.
Most of all, they had one of the nation's most efficient pass protection schemes and return all but one starter from the entire unit:
FEWEST SACKS ALLOWED, 2009
School Sacks Yielded
Pass Att.
Att./Sack
5 294 58.8
Stanford 7 313 44.7
Army 10 161 16.1
11 153 13.9
Texas Christian
UL Lafayette
Oregon 13 338 26.0
Adjusting for passing frequency, Arizona wound up third in what could be described as pass protection efficiency. Not bad.
Now, if only the Wildcats' defense can hold up its end of the deal. Arizona has little coming back on that side of the ball, and it would come as no shock if the Wildcats wind up matching last year's total of being involved in four conference games in which both teams posted at least 30 points.
The offense will be fine. If the defense is, too, this is a stealthy Rose Bowl candidate.

And the winner of of ACC bye week roulette is ... Boston College? Much will be made when October and November roll around of a scheduling quirk that forces Alabama to play six SEC opponents coming off bye weeks. But how about in the ACC? Who is the annual winner in bye week roulette? That would be Boston College, which is the only likely conference contender that doesn't have to deal with a a major-college program coming off a bye this season. Duke, Virginia and Wake Forest also have that luxury. In fact, the entire ACC Atlantic Division doesn't have too many instances of teams getting two weeks to prepare for them. Clemson...

ALL THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM ARE ALL ONE HOLY FAMILY
FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY
St Matthews Ecumenical Catholic Church, Orange CA
Genesis 15:1-6;21:1-3 Psalm 105:1-2;3-4;5-6;8-9
Colossians 3:12-17 Luke 2:22-40
Those of you who are choral evensong fans will recognize that as part of the Magnificat, the canticle sung after the first lesson. You'll recall it as part of the Song of Mary which Our Lady sang at her visit to cousin Elizabeth, as Mary reflected on Her role in our salvation history.
As Bishop Peter told you many times, Jesus was nota Christian. He was a Jew. On today's Feast of the Holy Family, we reflect on the customs of the Jewish family into which Jesus was born.
In Jewish families, male babies are customarily circumcised eight days after birth, and at that time, they are given their names. That is why for many years, January first was the "Feast of the Circumcision" and the "Feast of the Holy Name." For Jews, circumcision is not just a surgical operation, but a ceremony that symbolizes a covenant with God. It is often celebrated as a ritualized family affair, with a communal feast following the surgery. In Jesus' day, circumcisions were done at the Temple, which was where Jesus encountered Simeon. The Holy Spirit told Simeon he would not die until he had seen Jesus. He was so happy to see Jesus, that he burst into song with what is now known as the "Nunc Dimittis," that canticle sung at choral evensong after the second lesson:
Also waiting to see Jesus was Anna the Prophetess, who had been faithfully praying for many years in the Temple.
Just like all of us, Jesus was born into a biological family. Like us, Jesus had ancestors. Abraham was part of His genealogy. The Gospel of Matthew begins with "Abraham was the father of Isaac" and continues on trace Jesus down through his step-father, Joseph. Luke's Gospel traces the genealogy of Jesus backwards from Joseph through Abraham back to Adam. But who was Abraham?
The Book of Genesis tells us Abraham came from a place called Ur – that's spelled U-R – which was in Mesopotamia on the banks of the Euphrates river in the Dhi-Qar province of modern day Iraq. Abraham left Ur and traveled into an area that came to be known as Palestine and/or Israel, but which in Hebrew Bible times was known as Canaan. He then eventually went to Eqypt and back again into the Canaan area near Mount Horeb. I've put a map up on the screen to give you an idea of the geography.
Abraham's father was named Terah – T-E-R-A-H. Scripture contains very little information about him, so to research him, I consulted a "midrash." A midrash is a Jewish commentary or embellishment on scripture. A midrash called Genesis Rabbah 38 tells us Terahwas a manufacturer and seller of idols. One day, Terah took a trip and left Abraham in charge of his idol store. A customer arrived and wanted to make an offering to all the idols in the store. This made Abraham mad enough to smash all the idols. When Terahreturned, he was upset that Abraham had destroyed the family livelihood. So Abraham made up a story. He said that a woman came into the store to make an offering to all the idols, but that the largest idol got mad and smashed the others. Terahdidn't believe him. Terah said, "How can that be? They are only statues and have no knowledge." Suffice to say, Abraham was not going to carry on the family business. God had other plans for Abraham.
Here, Abraham as a young man recognized the foolishness and impotence of idolatry and pointed the way to monotheism – a belief in one God – a belief that all of his children would eventually embrace.
But the story of the family of monotheistic religions descended from Abraham is not just about patriarchy. It's about matriarchy as well. It's a biological fact that, unless you are Jesus, all humanity comes from a mother and a father. Abraham had three women in his life who helped him build a family.
We heard a story today about how Abraham's wife Sarah, old and thought to be barren, gave birth to Isaac, who grew up and became the father of Jacob who was renamed "Israel". He is considered to be the patriarch of the Jewish nation. However, Isaac was not the only son of Abraham, nor his first son. Before Isaac was born, Abraham and Sarah, frustrated that Sarah was barren, agreed Abraham would have a relationship with Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. Hagar gave birth to Ishmael. This all happened before monogamy became the predominant form of marriage. Multiple relationships were not unusual in Abraham's day. However, human nature being what it is, anytime you have a love triangle with two women and one man, you're eventually going to have jealousy. Sarah got mad and insisted Abraham kick Hagar and Ishmael out of the house, because Isaac had become her favorite son. Sarah said, and I quote, ""Drive out that slave and her son! No son of that slave is going to share an inheritance with my son Isaac!" Now, Abraham was a bit distressed, but God told Abraham to obey Sarah no matter what she asked of him. (My advice to all married men, based on experience: do whatever your wife asks of you. In my own life, what Beeper wants, Beeper gets). But just like God told Abraham a nation would spring from Isaac, God said also a nation would come from Ishmael. So Abraham sent Ishmael and Hagar into the wilderness. But they did not perish. God provided water for them when they were thirsty, and Hagar found Ishmael a wife when they reached Egypt, after reminding Hagar again that a great nation will come from Ishmael. I've put up a map so you can see the route they took.
Who are Ishmael's descendants? According to the Quran, our Muslim sisters and brothers are the descendants of Abraham through Ishmael. But Abraham's seed, as it were, did not stop with Hagar and Sarah. After Sarah died, Abraham took another wife named Katurah and had six more sons. Their names were: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Jews, Christians, and Muslims all look to Abraham as a common biological and/or spiritual ancestor. We Abrahamic monotheists are all one family. But we don't act like it. Throughout history, Christians have not gotten along with Jews and Muslims, and Muslims and Jews don't get along either. The 9-11 tragedy and the ongoing conflicts in the middle east are proof of all these mutual hostilities. The sewerof Christian hatred of Jews and Muslims runs long and deep, starting with the First Crusade in 1096, the Second Crusade in 1147, the Shepherd's Crusades of 1251 and 1321, and the expulsion of Jews from England in 1290, from France in 1394, and from Austria in 1421. Anti-semitism continued a long and sordid history in Europe, culminating in the Nazi regime in the mid-20th Century. And this disease also infected our own country, beginning in the 17thCentury when Peter Stuyvesant sought to keep Jews out of New York City, and continuing until the 1960s when finally the civil rights laws were passed and enforced. It continues to manifest itself in contemporary America with demonization and stereotyping of Muslims as terrorists, and municipalities in places like Tennessee using building codes to prevent the construction of a Mosque. But why does it have to be this way? To paraphrase Rodney King, "Why can't we all just get along?"
The answer as to why we don't all just get along can be stated in one word: fear. Fear is a useless negative emotion. It does not build bridges and does not bake bread. The mutual distrust between Christians, Jews and Muslims demonstrates the extent to which people are scared of others who are different from them. This should not happen! The three Abrahamic faiths have similarities that should help us understand one another. The Five Pillars of Islam have generic equivalents in Christianity and Judaism.
The first, called "Iman", calls for a belief that there is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is His messenger. Both Christians and Jews believe in one God. Christians look to Jesus as God's chief messenger, while Jews look to Moses and the prophets in a similar way.
The second pillar is known as "Salah" and requires prayer five times a day. Christian monasteries have a routine of multiple daily prayers known as the Divine Office, also called the Liturgy of the Hours. For Jews, prayer seven times a day was often customary; Psalm 119, verse 164, proclaims, "Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws."
The third pillar is Zakah, or almsgiving to the poor. Muslims believe that all wealth belongs to God and we hold it in trust as stewards. They believe our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need and for the society in general. Doesn't that kind of sound like catholic social teaching in the Vatican Two documents? In the Toráh, particularly the books of Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy, God listened to the cry of the needy, blessed those who considered them, and held accountable those who oppressed them. Institutions in the Hebrew Bible contained special provisions for the poor, and gleaning laws focused on the widow, fatherless, stranger, and poor. Modernly, Jews are among the more generous donors to charitable causes.
The fourth pillar of Islam is the Sawm, or fasting from sunrise to sunset for the month of Ramadan. Doesn't that sound kind of like Christian Lent, when we fast? Fasting has also been part of the Jewishspiritual discipline. You might recall the book of the prophet Joel, where the prophet urges people to return to the Lord, saying "Proclaim a fast, call a solemn assembly." And the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, is by rabbinic tradition, a day of fasting set aside to afflict the soul for the sins of the past year.
The fifth pillar of Islam is the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. Christians and Jews do pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Those of us who follow the Catholic tradition are often pilgrims to shrines like that of Our Lady of Walsingham or Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Jews celebrate The Three Pilgrimage Festivals where, anciently, Jews made pilgrimages to the Jerusalem Temple: Passover, commemorating the Exodus, Shauvot, recalling Moses' receipt of the Ten Commandments, and Sukkot, a harvest festival.
For Christians, the defining point of difference from Muslims and Jews is who Jesus is. Neither Islam nor Judaism recognize Jesus as the Son of God. Muslims consider Jesus a prophet. Among Jews, a wide range of opinion exists, some positive, some negative. Reform Jews tend to be more favorable, Conservative and Orthodox less so, as a rule. My own experience is that most Jews see Jesus as a historical figure whose teachings resonate with many Jews. But why should differing views of Jesus be the basis for such abject hatred and vitriol? Didn't Jesus teach love? Even though many people we know will never know Jesus in the way we do, that is hardly an excuse for bad behavior that is so contrary to the values for which Jesus stands.
At the heart of catholic Christianity is respect for the dignity of the human person. Even if we don't share the same ideas about Jesus as the people we encounter outside Church, we still share a bond of common humanity with them. Being part of the family of humanity is not only about ancestry. Families, both our own immediate households and the larger family of humanity, are all about love. Family is about how we treat one another.
This is a picture of a Muslin, a man named Sher B. Quadri, who has worked for me about 11 years.
He is definitely not a terrorist; in fact, he is quite the opposite. He is one of the most peaceful persons I've ever known. Nothing upsets him. He works at the front desk at my law firm and helped me pioneer our paperless document system. But what makes him most valuable is the way he relates to other people. He is proof that you don't have to be a Christian to act like one. Today's Epistle describes him to the letter: "compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving." Those are the qualities that have made him one of the overall best employees I've had in my 29 years of owning my own business. The litigation world where I work as a lawyer is full of angry people and difficult personalities. In his job, Sher encounters them every hour of every work day with phone calls and people coming into the office. He disarms them with the peace that controls his heart, the peace that calls all of us all to be one family, one body, where the Word of Christ richly dwells. AMEN.

It's been a couple of years in the works, but everything was signed, sealed and delivered two weeks ago as Mt. Abram officially has a golf team for the fall.
It all started when the son of Sugarloaf Golf Club Director of Golf John Debiase entered high school two years ago.
When the Roadrunners got Brian Desilets as athletic director a year ago, things really started to pick up to get a team in place.
"There wasn't much traction until last year when Mt. Abram got the new AD, Brian Desilets," Zach Zondlo, Mt. Abram's head coach and Sugarloaf's head golf pro, said. "Brian, he's a golf guy, he coached where he was previously (Massabesic). He pitched the idea of hosting the golf team at Sugarloaf and (us) help coaching. There (was) some issues with budgets and making it work financially. … What we decided to do is waive all golf course fees and dues associated with golfing. Kids can play here, practice here as much as they want here for free. We don't charge anything being the host golf course."
Sugarloaf, one of the state's most scenic and challenging golf courses, decided to look at the big picture when it came to waiving green fees to Mt. Abram, even though the high school golf season in Maine falls during the most picturesque part of the year for golf, which is the late summer and fall.
"There are some days we have to work around to make it work," Zondlo said. "Luckily for us, typically Mondays, Tuesdays there wasn't too much going on in terms of golf. We have twilight leagues and we do get a fair amount of golfers, but we realized even on Wednesdays and Fridays, when we do get a lot of golfers, we realized that we would rather not gain any revenue and provide these kids an opportunity to play golf than to fill four or five tee times and make $260 per tee time."
As one of the most challenging golf courses in the state, and ranked the fourth-best golf course in the state for this season by Golf Digest, Zondlo hopes the course can be a destination for golfers at other schools in the Mountain Valley Conference to play during the summer with their families to get some practices rounds in prior to the high school season, knowing the course is now on the schedule.
The Roadrunners team is made of mostly inexperienced golfers, with junior Ben Debiase — John's son — and senior Teddy Forsley having the most experience. The other golfers on the team are Cade Tooker, Ethan Cockerham, Abi Wilcox, Cooper Anderson and Tyler Jensen.
"We are still working with the kids," Zondlo said. "If they can play this golf course well, once they go to other golf courses, they are now going to be able to have a lot more confidence playing golf, knowing if they go out play Sugarloaf they can play anywhere."
While they lost their first match at home against Dirigo, the players saw what Zondlo is saying.
"For our team, we only lost by four (in team strokes), so it gave our team a lot of confidence, 'You know what, we can compete with some of these teams,'" Zondlo said. "We could see it in the next practice, they practiced harder and were more focused."
The challenge that Sugarloaf provides all golfers has been a great equalizer for the inexperienced Roadrunners team against their opponents so far.
Dirigo won the match on Aug. 30, winning 4.5 to 2.5, with the team strokes being 225 for Dirigo and 229 for Mt. Abram.
Since then, they have won on the road against Mountain Valley on Thursday and Madison on Friday.
It also made sense to host high school golf, as the course runs a summer program that nearly tripled in size this summer from 12 to 34. Zondlo is pleased with that growth, which will only help keep the golf team alive for the foreseeable future, as there were eight players that were in the summer program this year that are currently in high school. They have 12 kids from eight to 11 years old, who are in middle school, and another 14 ages five to seven.
Sugarloaf is a tour stop for the American Junior Golf Association, one of top junior golf tours in the country, and can invite three players as exemptions into the tournament. Zondlo's goal one day is to have a Roadrunner play in that tournament, or a player from the MVC.
"Having three exemptions, I will be able now to look at golfers that come use this golf course in matches that we are playing," Zondlo said. "We can start offering exemptions to local kids who thought they may never play something like that."

CANstruction(R) is the most unique food drive in the world and here in St. Louis. Architects, engineers and builders from all over the St. Louis area will strut their design and construction genius to see whose team can build the most spectacular structure using little more than full cans of food.
All this design talent is put to the test to make a difference in the cause to fight hunger in the St. Louis community. Sponsored by Charter Communications and Save-A-Lot Food Stores under the leadership of the Society for Design Administration's St. Louis Chapter, this year's CANstruction(R) events are on track to collect more than 50,000 cans of food for the St. Louis Area Foodbank and the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry to feed the hungry in St. Louis, a number which would likely make the event the largest single collection effort for the community.
"While people are very generous during the holiday season, food donations typically slow down after the first of the year. The need for assistance remains the same, or in this economy, continues to increase," said Sue Rundblad, Coordinator of the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry.
The CANstruction exhibit will kick off on Friday, March 6 at 10 a.m. at St. Louis Mills, located at 5555 St. Louis Mills in Hazelwood, Mo., with a kick-off press conference featuring local teams, sponsors and community leaders. Photo and interview opportunities are available for press. The teams will then work for 24-hours to build their structures. Once completed, the exhibit will remain open to the public from March 6-16 during St. Louis Mills normal business hours.
"This competition and exhibit plays a major role in spreading the word about the growing issue of hunger in St. Louis," said Vicki Hayden, Society for Design Administration. "SDA's creation of the program demonstrates how everyone can get involved using their own talents in the fight against hunger."
At the close of the exhibit, the structures will be dismantled and all of the canned food used to build the sculptures will be donated to The St. Louis Area Foodbank and the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry for distribution to local kitchens and pantries throughout the St. Louis Metro Area. Between the two initiatives, it is expected that over 50,000 pounds of food will be collected, which is equivalent to more than 78,000 meals.
St. Louis based Save-A-Lot Food Stores is the exclusive grocery partner for the campaign. "Our partnership with CANstruction(R) aligns with our commitment to help fight hunger right here at home," said Bill Shaner, President and Chief Executive Officer for Save-A-Lot.
"We are proud to be a part of such a meaningful event," said Steve Trippe, Vice President and General Manager for Charter Communications in St. Louis. "The design community has come up with a unique way to raise awareness and fight this serious problem facing so many people in our community."

Google Maps isn't making life any easier for some people.
Oh, Google Maps! There is so much to praise you for!
You can locate the nearest 24-hour diner with a few finger swipes on an Android touchscreen, you lay-out directions from the workplace to the car dealer in a matter of mouse clicks and you can even offer alternate routes when a weekend jaunt gets marred by traffic jams. What can't you do?
Apparently the answer to that one is make life easy for a New Jersey couple.
Laurie Gneiding and Michael Brady own a home on a parkside property just adjacent to the Round Valley State Park in Clinton Township, NJ. That property is so parkside, in fact, that Google Maps has their home address as the entranceway to the popular summer destination.
Good for the property value, perhaps, but petrifying for their personal lives.
It's not just autos, too. She says that bicyclists and trailers hitching boats have all tried to navigate their way up her quarter-mile driveway, which only leads up to her log house and not, in fact, a gate for Round Valley.
As a result, Gneiding has so far spent over $100 on a massive barricade to keep cars from encroaching on her land.
Fourth of July for the couple is a nightmare. This year they updated their "No Trespassing" and "Private Drive" signs to something new: "Google Maps is wrong!!"
Despite five attempts at getting Google to change the route to their park, the web giants have done nothing.
In the meantime, Gneiding is continuing to hound Google, who tells the Star-Ledger that they "recognize that there may be occasional inaccuracies and appreciate the feedback." She just hopes that her pups remain tranquil as travelers continue to line up to only be turned away at her doorstep.
"My biggest fear is coming home someday and having 'visitors' in my backyard pool or something happening to my dogs when they're in their outside pen," she says.

U.S. Judge Grants Nationwide Injunction Blocking White House Transgender Policy
By Camila Domonoske
Published August 22, 2016 at 8:30 AM MDT
Mark Ralston
Signs are posted outside Santee High School's gender neutral restrooms at its campus in Los Angeles on May 4.
Months after the Obama administration advised school districts that transgender students should be given access to bathrooms based on their gender identity, a federal judge in Texas has blocked the guidance from going into effect — for now.
U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor has granted a preliminary, nationwide injunction in response to a lawsuit filed by Texas and a number of other states.
As we've reported, the lawsuit argues that the guidance from the White House would turn schools "into laboratories for a massive social experiment."
The preliminary injunction would mean that, until that lawsuit works its way through the courts, the "status quo" would be maintained and the guidance could not be considered enforceable.
The guidance from the White House was issued in May, and addresses the Title IX requirement that schools receiving federal funding not discriminate against students on the basis of sex.
The administration says that, as the departments of Justice and Education interpret the law, transgender students must be allowed to use a bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity. Alternately, individual bathrooms can be made available to all students.
In their lawsuit, Texas and other states argue that references to "sex" in Title IX refer only to biological sex, and that the administration's interpretation is a "radical re-authoring" of the term.
The states also say that while the administration describes the documents as interpretation and guidance, they are "coercive" in practice.
In a ruling issued Sunday, O'Connor concluded that there is a strong likelihood the states will win their case, justifying an injunction in the meantime. He found that the administration didn't follow the proper notice and comment process for the guidelines.
He determined that the law is "not ambiguous," writing that "[i]t cannot be disputed that the plain meaning of the term sex as used ... following passage of Title IX meant the biological and anatomical differences between male and female students as determined at their birth."
He also said that the guidelines are "compulsory in nature."
Under his injunction, O'Connor ordered all parties to "maintain the status quo." He says the administration can't enforce the guidelines — or make any sort of investigation based on the idea that "the definition of sex includes gender identity." The White House would also be barred from using the guidelines in any lawsuits, he wrote.
ACLU attorney Joshua Block, who has worked on high-profile trans cases, notes on Twitter that the administration can request a stay of the injunction, which could be granted by an appeals court or the Supreme Court.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton celebrated the judge's order, saying on Twitter that the Obama administration "is attempting to rewrite the laws enacted by the elected representatives of the people."
Meanwhile, five civil rights organizations, including the ACLU and Lambda Legal, issued a joint statement calling the ruling "unfortunate and premature."
They addressed school districts, saying "your obligations under the law have not changed," and advising them that the injunction does not block other courts or lawyers from relying on the Obama administration's stated interpretation of the law.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Mnday that the Obama administration is confident that its guidelines are legally sound, Reuters reports.
The ruling was issued late on Sunday; as Reuters reports, the first day of school arrives this week in many districts around the country.

Rangnick celebrates Manchester United debut with win over Palace
Simon Stacpoole/Offside / Offside / Getty
Manchester, United Kingdom, Dec 5, 2021 (AFP) - Ralf Rangnick's reign at Manchester United got off to a winning start thanks to a stunning strike from the much-maligned Fred to beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.
A bright start from the Red Devils fizzled out without reward and the German looked like he might have to settle for a disappointing draw in his first match since taking charge until the end of the season.
But Fred, who had been a target for much of the criticism towards the end of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's time as manager, produced a moment of magic with a curling effort on his weaker right foot 13 minutes from time to snatch a crucial victory.
"Overall I'm more than happy," said Rangnick. "I was positively surprised by the physical state and the intensity of the first half hour. The only thing that was missing was scoring one, two or even three goals.
"It was clear you cannot play the whole game in this kind of intensity level. In the end we deserved to win, I'm more than happy with the clean sheet and a beautiful goal."
United move back to within three points of the top four and up to sixth in the Premier League table.
There were no immediate changes from Rangnick in the line-up as he named an unchanged side from Thursday's 3-2 win over Arsenal.
But there was an instant change in approach as United pressed Palace into coughing up possession deep inside their own half twice in the first five minutes.
Questions have been asked over how Cristiano Ronaldo will fit into Rangnick's desire for an intense pressing game. But the 36-year-old was paired with Marcus Rashford up front to bring extra dynamism to United's forward line.
"It seemed illogical to change too many positions after the win against Arsenal," added Rangnick. "For me, the question is how do we get pressure on the ball and how do we get control. I played 4-2-2-2 with two strikers, not just Cristiano (Ronaldo) on his own up front."
However, there was a lack of precision to match United's intensity.
The home side's best chance of the first 45 minutes fell to Fred, but his goalbound effort was diverted behind by James Tomkins.
Fernandes finally tested Vicente Guaita from Ronaldo's knockdown before Diogo Dalot fired wastefully over on his weaker left foot with the last kick of the first half.
United's early enthusiasm to impress their new boss drained away as the second-half performance more closely resembled the final days of Solskjaer's reign.
Palace should have gone in front 15 minutes from time when Jordan Ayew somehow turned Tomkins' header back across goal and beyond the far post.
Rangnick comes with a reputation of putting his faith in young players and showed that as he sacrificed Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford for Mason Greenwood and Anthony Elanga in search of a winner.
Greenwood made a telling contribution as it was from his layoff that Fred looped the ball over Guaita.

Koheron DRV10 is an OEM PCB-mount low-noise laser driver with 12 V compliance voltage. The DRV10 accepts up to 36 V input voltage with efficiency up to 70%. Laser current is set with an external resistor.
The DRV10 laser diode driver current noise was measured across a 5 Ω resistor with a supply voltage of 5 V.
Integrated noise in the 10 Hz - 1.1 MHz bandwidth is 158 nArms at 100 mA current and 159 nArms at 200 mA current. The DRV10 laser diode driver was supplied from a DC/DC converter. The peak of the current noise at 1 MHz is caused by the laser diode driver itself and will not be reduced by using a quieter power supply.


The group comprised of four siblings–10-year-old Isabella and 9-year-old triplets Gabby, Abby and Riley Keen–started as a band to raise money for a friend who was being treated for cancer. Together they produced a CD and sold it at local stores making nearly $1,800. The Hamsters didn't hesitate to get involved.
"They saw up close how life can deal difficult circumstances to undeserving people. Their hearts opened and they started helping," says Barb Keen, mother and manager of the sibling group. Barb explains that they were amazed at how their decision to pitch-in sparked the desire in others to get involved.
That was just the start of what is becoming an adventure for The Runaway Hamsters.
"We have been enjoying this musical, helping journey and can't wait to see where it goes" says Keen.
The Hamsters continue to keep busy showcasing their talent and helping others. Since the release of their original single, "Runaway," the young rockers have continued to give to the community through their music. They partnered with St. Luke's Hospital and local radio station 107.9 Lite FM to raise nearly $20,000 for the Children's Miracle Network. Most recently, they opened at the Boise State University dance FTK marathon fundraiser helping to raise $65,000.
As a follow-up to their first single, The Hamsters are currently finalizing and preparing for the release of their six-song album Hamsters in the House. It will be available for presale on their website and through iTunes this month. They have also created two music videos and just finished working on a third in April with major producer Roman White in Nashville.
Barbara Keen has some advice for those who want to get involved but may feel hesitant.
The Runaway Hamsters exemplify people allowing the good inside them to come out and impact the community in a positive way. Follow their lead. Get out there and help others and you too can make a difference. If you have not yet listened to the Hamsters in your house, check out their music videos and watch for the new album Hamsters in the House by visiting their website at TheRunAwayHamsters.com or connecting with them via Facebook and Twitter.

The 1968–69 season was the 70th completed season of The Football League.

Leeds United won the League for the first time in their history, finishing six points ahead of Liverpool. Newly promoted Queens Park Rangers were relegated after finishing bottom along with Leicester City.

Derby County were runaway winners of the Second Division and they were joined in promotion by runners-up Crystal Palace. Despite still boasting the talents of Johnny Haynes and George Cohen, Fulham finished bottom and were relegated. They were joined in the Third Division by perennial strugglers Bury

Watford won the Third Division title on goal average from Swindon Town and both teams were duly promoted. At the bottom end Northampton Town, Hartlepool, Crewe Alexandra and Oldham Athletic were all relegated.

The Fourth Division was won by Doncaster Rovers, who were promoted along with Halifax Town, Rochdale and Bradford City. No team failed re-election so no new members were admitted to the Football League.

Final league tables and results

Beginning with the season 1894–95, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976–77 season.

Since the Fourth Division was established in the 1958–59 season, the bottom four teams of that division have been required to apply for re-election.

Full Circle, the First All-Black Climbing Team to Summit Mount Everest, Discusses Making History with Expedition
The Full Circle Everest team on a training trip to Nepal in 2021, ahead of their expedition to Mount Everest in 2022.
With headlamps on, stars above and ice below, they made their way up above the clouds to their goal: a mountain peak covered in flags and mementos. Then they made history. But the journey was only halfway over.
In May, the Full Circle Everest team become the first all-Black expedition to climb to the top of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world above sea level.
The team made it safely down the mountain and back home, but the impact of that historic achievement is still taking shape.
"I don't think it has really set in that we actually accomplished this," says team leader Philip Henderson. "It was a three-year process of us starting this project and then completing it. I'm just proud of the team and the time and commitment and sacrifices by everybody on the team."
Seven Full Circle Everest team members — Manoah Ainuu, Eddie Taylor, Rosemary Saal, Demond Mullins, Thomas Moore, James "KG" Kagami, and Evan Green — successfully reached Mount Everest's summit. Along with Henderson, other members of the team include Frederick Campbell and Abby Dione.
Four members of the team — Henderson, Saal, Taylor and Ainuu — sat down with USA TODAY Sports to talk about their expedition, what happened on the mountain and what's next.
Why Everest?
"Everest is an iconic mountain," says Henderson. "Every year, people are paying attention to what's happening on Everest. And when you look at it in terms of representation in high-altitude mountaineering, there had been less than a dozen Black people who had attempted to climb Mount Everest. It was an obvious next step for everybody."

Mother Nature easily provides us with analogues to inspire our personal development. In this case, a tough little seed provides food for thought, and a roadmap towards success.
I was walking through the airport this week, getting in my steps, on my way home from an international meeting. As I often do, I had my earpieces in, listening to a podcast by one of my favorite gurus.
As also happens with regular monotony, he said something that unleashed my imagination.
A single word sparked a long and winding reflection. It was the word "seed".
To be honest, I don't even remember the context in which he used it. I'm not sure what he discussed for the next 30 minutes (I'll have to go back and listen again), but this is where this powerful word took me.
A seed is a hard case in which new life grows, protected from the harsh outside world. The seed contains nutrients for a young plant, enabling it to develop through vulnerable days in profound safety.
At the right time, the sapling must break out of its secure environment by cracking the tough exterior. It can then leap forward in another magnificent growth spurt … this time towards its ultimate goal … being a fully-fledged, mature plant.
As I mused on this concept, I couldn't help thinking about my clients, each of whom comes to me hoping for a growth spurt. Whether they're sailing high and hoping to "take it to the next level", or struggling to find direction, each one eagerly anticipates a burst of new life.
Many have tried already on their own. Many feel trapped by their current circumstances.
Which brings me back to that seed.
Too often, we become trapped by the gifts that enabled our safe early growth. We are afraid to grow beyond current comforts. Even affluence becomes a potent disincentive for some of my hugely successful clients!
This makes me sad, because the very factors that once encouraged growth now become the reasons for stasis.
You need awareness of the danger of comfort and stasis.
You need imagination to see opportunity beyond the dense outer wall of your current existence.
You need courage and strength to simply break through.
You need even more courage to venture out into the brave sunshine beyond the shell.
Unleash your imagination. Summon the courage. Reject the comfort. Reach out for help if you need it. But whatever you do, be sure to embrace the growth you so richly deserve—the growth that fuels and liberates us towards Consciousness and Abundance.
