Washington’s AD search: The Hotline’s initial list of candidates to replace Jen Cohen

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:11:30 GMT

In what could be viewed as an act of Big Ten-on-Big Ten violence, USC’s next athletic director is Washington’s current athletic director.Jen Cohen is leaving the Huskies after seven years to take charge of their West Coast rival, a surprising move that nonetheless makes sense for both USC and Cohen.The search for her replacement likely will take weeks, if not months, and it will undoubtedly start with Chris Petersen, the highly-respected former UW football coach.To be clear: We’re deeply skeptical of Petersen’s desire to plunge into the daily grind of running an athletic department.After all, he stepped down as coach after the 2019 season, in part, because of frustrations over the direction of college football. Four years later, the sport’s trajectory hasn’t changed — if anything, it has drifted further from Petersen’s ideal. As head of the department, he would be immersed in the unseemly side.That said, Petersen would be an invaluable...

New study lays out physical consequences long Covid sufferers have dealt with

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:11:30 GMT

By Brenda Goodman | CNNPeople who survived Covid-19 early in the pandemic, before there were vaccines, continued to be at higher risk for a slew of health problems for up to two years after they got over their initial infections, a new study finds, and that was especially true if they were hospitalized.These health problems include heart problems, blood clots, diabetes, neurologic complications, fatigue and difficulties with mental health and have come to be known collectively as long Covid.When researchers tallied the risks for more than 80 different complications that are associated with long Covid, they translated the collective toll into a metric called a disability adjusted life year, or DALY. Each DALY represents one year of healthy life lost to illness. They found that long Covid generated more than 80 disability-adjusted life years, or DALYs, for every 1,000 people who weren’t hospitalized for their initial infection.That means long Covid creates a higher burden of disabilit...

Spoiler alert: The following interview discusses several plot elements of the film “Barbie.”Before Los Altos psychologist Eric FitzMedrud donned a pink tie and joined his wife for a date night to see the summer blockbuster movie “Barbie,” he was all too familiar with the anxiety that the character of Ken feels about his place in the world and in Barbie’s life.FitzMedrud specializes in counseling individuals and couples on relationships and sexual issues and is set to publish a book, “The Better Man: A Guide to Consent, Stronger Relationships, and Hotter Sex” (Wonderwell, 2023), in September. The book offers men advice on how to get past the conflicting messages they receive about how to be “enough.” On one hand, he writes, men are told that they can’t be masculine enough unless they reject feminism and embrace the “abject misogyny” of certain cultural figures. Or, they worry about how to enter into relationships...
