Each summer College Summit hosts workshops nationwide to simulate the “college-going culture” that middle-class kids take for granted, says founder J. B.

Wenger announced on Friday he will leave Emirates Stadium at the end of the season after a successful 22-year spell in north London, where he won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups. Henry, widely regarded to be Arsenal’s greatest ever player, was signed from Juventus in 1999 by Wenger, who transformed him into a prolific striker that scored 228 goals for the club across all competitions. While Henry was saddened by the news, he hinted at relief given the Gunners’ struggles in the Premier League over the past two seasons....

Massimo Bruno got the curtain raiser in the 42nd minute as the Purple and White headed into the half-time break with a goal lead. In the 52nd minute, Omar Govea levelled proceedings for the hosts. But with ten minutes left to play, Onyekuru secured maximum points for his side. The 20-year-old teamed up with English Premier League side, Everton in the summer after racking in 25 goals for Eupen last season but was immediately loaned to the reigning Belgian champions....

We were headed to places that pretty much require you to walk a lot: Barbara to London and Pat to Disney World. We wanted to see just how hard it would be to hit the 10,000 steps a day (about five to six miles, depending on the size of your stride) that health experts say are essential to fitness. First step (no pun intended) was buying a pedometer. The array seemed bewildering, from pedometers that only counted steps to ones that recorded the time, calories expended and a few other things....

The cause of fibromyalgia is unclear, but it’s believed to be related to dysfunction of the nervous system.

It seems to rain everywhere stock car racing goes. At this rate, track-drying machines are going to wear out before the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

The Mavericks selected 2019 Rookie of the Year Luka Doncic in last year’s draft and acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the Knicks just before the trade deadline. Dallas is reportedly prepared to offer Porzingis a five-year, $158 million deal this summer and Walker has qualified for a supermax contract after a career year in 2018-19. The Mavericks aren’t a lock to land Walker by any means, as the Celtics, Knicks, Lakers and others are interested in him, as noted by Bill Simmons and Marc Stein on the “Bill Simmons Podcast....

“You will have, potentially, three campaigns that might claim they actually won. How that will affect the primary is really difficult to tell,” political strategist Norm Sterzenbach told Newsweek. Sterzenbach is the former executive director of the Iowa Democratic Party. The Midwestern state has held the first presidential nominating contests in the country every year since 1972. For decades the process stayed nearly the same, but this year the Iowa Democratic Party and the Democratic National Convention made several changes that could muddle the picture....

In particular, many commentators are taking manager Kirk Gibson & Co. to task for their childish decision to have pitcher Randall Delgado hit the Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen in the back during a game last week. The NL MVP was plunked a day after Pirates reliever Ernesto Frieri accidentally hit D-backs star Paul Goldschmidt in the left hand, causing a fracture that put him on the disabled list. But Tony La Russa is having none of it, thank you very much....

But during a Tuesday appearance on actor Rainn Wilson’s Hey There, Human Instagram Live series, Krasinski explained that he never really had a long-term plan for the show, and wanted to do it in between other projects. “I knew it wouldn’t be sustainable with my prior commitments,” Krasinski said to his fellow Office alum. “It was one of those things where I was only planning on doing eight of them during quarantine, because I have these other things that I’m going to be having to do very soon, like Jack Ryan and all this other stuff,” Krasinski continued....

Although it is legal for employers to require workers to be vaccinated, some companies are more hesitant to implement a mandate. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) states that employers must provide “reasonable accommodations” for people who cannot get vaccinated because of reasons such as religious belief and disability. Employers may have to consider possible allegations that a vaccine requirement “has a disparate impact on—or disproportionately excludes—employees based on their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin,” according to the EEOC....

Already having engaged in spats with Stause throughout seasons 1 and 2 of the show, Potratz marked herself as Stause’s number-one enemy when she questioned the reasons behind her colleague’s sudden divorce from This Is Us star Justin Hartley. Everyone at the Oppenheim Group was shocked when they stumbled upon the news of Stause’s divorce on the internet during season 3, which was released on July 31. A heartbroken Stause appeared to be totally blindsided by the demise of her marriage, and she was completely devastated when her ex-husband told her of his decision to leave their marriage via text....

Heynckes was unable to take his place in the dugout to see Robert Lewandowski equal his longstanding record of scoring in each of Bayern’s first 11 home league games in a season. The 72-year-old’s illness did not stop him watching a 2-1 victory that leaves Bayern 18 points clear at the top of the table, however, according to Hermann. “I think Jupp Heynckes was most engrossed in front of the TV,” Hermann said....

The official, based in Washington, who oversees employees at the HHS’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF), filed a complaint with the Office of the Special Counsel, an independent federal watchdog agency, on Wednesday.

Nick VinZant, a senior research analyst and public relations specialist at insurance comparison platform QuoteWizard, told Newsweek on Thursday that a number of factors seemingly contributed to data that shows gas consumption in the U.S. recently dropped by 4 percent in recent months.
