There is a correlation per the study, but it seems to be a chicken or the egg kind of debate there.

Are you depressed because you're eating ultra processed foods or are you eating ultra processed foods because you're depressed?
If you've become so busy and exhausted that you don't want to spend the time to shop and cook, is it the food that caused the depression or the overall quality of life?

For example, the study suggested far more risk with diet coke vs regular coke.
Is that because aspartame is much more risky than sugar, or is it because people who drink diet soda tend to be more focused about losing weight and are more likely to be depressed?

That said, I don't disagree with you that the food lobby is also bad and intentionally preventing consumers from health information.
Just as the gun lobby does, just as the oil and gas lobby does, just as the pharmaceutical lobby does. etc... Just as the Tabaco lobby did until there was enough public outcry against them. We need the same for the rest of them.
You're making a bad assumption that people who drink diet coke are looking to lose weight. Some who are fit believe it's better for them because it has aspartame instead of sugar. I can't speak for your family, but I have plenty of family who drink diet soda and think it's better for them not because they need to lose any weight. How is it impacting those at a healthy weight who drink it because they don't want the regular sugar, do they still have far more risk? The other bad assumption is people who drink regular coke are content with their weight. Not that I drink much soda, I'm sure there's plenty of people like me who won't drink diet coke because of the taste. How I feel about my weight has nothing to do with it. And I'll buy Boylan's because it has cane sugar not high fructose corn syrup.

Harris

thinking she’s simply lazy or an empty suit. Apparently over 500 claims never answered or looked into of clergy abuse. Sounds like she’s a champion of the gridiron prosecutor on offense all the time.

There is some nuance there since the statue of limitations had passed, and the supreme court had just blocked states from modifying their laws to extend the statue of limitations. There was no criminal case should could bring by the time she got the job. The only outcome would have been civil cases (not by her office) in which you would need the victim to come forward hence her response about protecting victims.

She could have gone after a cover up by the church as a crime (which is what Shapiro did in PA) but I'm not sure if the same fact pattern existed.

I think I would tend to want all of the names out in public, but I'm not sure it's that easy when considering protecting victims and due process for those accused.

Harvard research suggests ultra process foods is linked to depression and mental health issues.

It's nice you don't like to admit this is a fact of life, but you mock it with your condolensces. You clearly admitted eating processed foods kills people, yet innocent kids who don't have any knowledge of what they're being given are clearly being given harmful products to put in their body and there's no safeguards by our government to prevent it from happening. And this impacts way more kids than gun violence. And if you really wanted to link the 2 together, Harvard research suggests ultra process foods is linked to depression and mental health issues. So not only is it linked to cancer but also mental health. Great and nobody talks about it other than that whacko RFK Jr.

Just so we are clear, you know @knowknow456 was derisively referencing JD Vance's remarks after the Apalachee High School shooting?

NIL

The majority of the BE can do that $4-5M per year without much of a problem. It's only a challenge for us, Butler and DePaul.

To most schools, they have much larger endowments and much better alumni giving. NIL is just a reallocation of those donations. No need to constantly spend on athletic facilities, NIL is the new arms race.

I think it will continue out of control until the big lawsuits are settled and the NCAA finally takes control of the situation and establishes rules. Its chaos right now. Reading the Times article and the piece over the Summer in The Athletic, no one is abiding by rules and major tampering is taking place in December and January. Kadary's case wasn't unique, it was the norm.
I hate to even say this but at a certain point is it fair to ask - if we cannot afford to compete with other high majors (NIL, facilities, staff salary, etc.) are we competing at the right level? Would different leadership get different results?

Matt Morris Enshrined In St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame

South Orange, N.J. -- One of the best pitchers in program history as a collegian and at the professional level, Seton Hall baseball great Matt Morris was enshrined into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame on Saturday at the Ballpark Village adjacent to Busch Stadium III in St. Louis.

A first-team All-American during his junior year at Seton Hall, Morris was widely regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in the nation during his three seasons of play. He went 21-12 with a 3.57 ERA, including a 10-3 record in 1995 with a 2.68 ERA. Selected 12th overall by the St. Louis Cardinals in the first round of the 1995 MLB Amateur Draft, Morris developed into a National League All-Star and won 121 career games over 12 seasons, including a league-high 22 games in 2001.
Morris, who is tied for 11th in franchise history in pitching wins, emerged as the winner from a ballot that included Cardinals legends Steve Carlton, George Hendrick and Edgar Renteria. Morris was chosen by the fan vote over an eight-week voting period. He won 11 or more games in six different seasons with St. Louis. During his eight seasons with the Cards, Morris compiled a .620 winning percentage, which ranks fourth in franchise history among pitchers with at least 1,000 innings pitched. The right-hander's best season came in 2001, when he went 22-8, earned the first of back-to-back All-Star Game selections and finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting.

Multiple of Morris' Seton Hall teammates were in attendance for his enshrinement including Jim Duffy, Jeff Giambrone, Brian Schunke, Pat Hennigan, John Fairchild and Mike Abaid.

Rivalry Renewed as No. 22 Seton Hall Visits Rutgers Monday Night


resize


South Orange, N.J. - The No. 22 ranked Seton Hall men's soccer team will clash with in-state rival Rutgers Monday night at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, N.J. In addition to trying to take down the rival Scarlet Knights for the first time 2007, the Pirates are also looking for their first 5-0-0 start 1986.

The match at Yurcak Field is free for all to attend, and the match will be broadcast on Big Ten Plus, which requires a subscription.



MOVING UP IN THE RANKINGS

  • Seton Hall is currently ranked No. 22 in the United Soccer Coaches top-25, which was last released on Sept. 3. When the next poll comes out on Sept. 10, it will only reflect match results through Sunday, Sept. 8.
  • In head coach Andreas Lindberg's tenure, Seton Hall appeared in the United Soccer Coaches top-25 seven times during the 2020 season, reaching as high as No. 6. Then Seton Hall spent four weeks in the national rankings during 2021.
  • The Pirates are one of two BIG EAST teams in the current top-25, joining No. 14 Georgetown.
WIN OVER COLUMBIA

  • Last Friday night, the Pirates won a physical battle with Columbia, and got timely goals and defense in a 2-0 victory at Owen T. Carroll Field.
  • Thomas Sellwood (Sao Paulo, Brazil) scored his first career goal on assists from Rikard Cederberg and Jack Kossoudji in the 32nd minute as the Pirates went up 1-0.
  • The lead held up thanks in large part to seven saves from goalkeeper Soren Jensen, who notched his first career Div. I shutout.
  • Sam Bjork notched a goal in the 82nd minute to put the match away.
B1G SUCCESS

  • The Pirates are looking to defeat a Big Ten team for the second consecutive season. In 2023, the Pirates blanked Ohio State, 1-0, in a match that took place in Bloomington, Ind.
  • Three days after beating Ohio State, the Pirates dropped a 1-0 decision to then-10th ranked Indiana.
  • Seton Hall is 1-2-0 against the Big Ten in Lindberg's tenure; the other loss was also to Indiana in the quarterfinals of the 2020 NCAA Championship.
  • Seton Hall's last true road win over a Big Ten team came Sept. 8, 1995, a 2-1 victory at No. 12 Penn State.

SCOUTING RUTGERS

  • The Scarlet Knights are 3-2-0 to start the season with four of the five matches having two or more goal differentials.
  • Rutgers opened the year with three straight home matches, defeating Northeastern, losing to Delaware and beating Princeton.
  • Rutgers was picked ninth in the Big Ten preseason coaches poll after finishing eighth last season.
  • The Scarlet Knights are only two seasons removed from winning the Big Ten Tournament and advancing to the NCAA Tournament, which occurred in 2022.
SERIES HISTORY

  • This is the first matchup between Seton Hall and Rutgers since 2009, an incredible feat considering only about 30 miles separate the two campuses. The two teams were in the BIG EAST Conference together between 1995 and 2012, and did not face each other in 2010, 2011 and 2012 as a result of the conference's divisional split.
  • Rutgers leads the all-time series, 36-16-5, and while the two programs were in BIG EAST together, Rutgers leads the series 10-5-2.
  • Seton Hall's last win over Rutgers came on Sept. 30, 2007, a 4-1 victory at Owen T. Carroll Field. The last time the Pirates won at Rutgers was Sept. 15, 2006, a 1-0 triumph. Seton Hall has seven all-time wins in Piscataway.
  • The last time Seton Hall was ranked when it faced Rutgers was Sept. 23, 2005 when it was No. 18 and defeated the Scarlet Knights, 2-1. That match took place in Newark on NJIT's campus due to Owen T. Carroll Field renovations.

OPENING SUCCESS

  • With its win at FIU, Seton Hall has now won its season opener under head coach Andreas Lindberg for the fifth time in seven tries, and the Pirates are unbeaten in all seven (5-0-2).
  • With their win over UAlbany, the Pirates are also now 5-0-2 in their home openers under Lindberg and have not lost a home opener since 2016.
