Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:12:22 GMT

The defining week of the final year of the Pac-12 is here, and it’s loaded: 14 hours of action, all packed into Saturday, with seven showdowns against Power Five opponents, five games on broadcast television and four kickoffs in primetime on the East Coast.By the close of Week 2, the conference will have set its trajectory for the remainder of the season.Win the majority of duels against the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12, and this will be a memorable fall for two reasons.That said, not all matchups are created equal. Utah’s trip to Baylor and Oregon’s visit to Texas Tech carry greater postseason implications than, say, Cal’s under-the-lights affair with Auburn.At the root of Week 2 lies the multiplier effect. A slew of marquee wins Saturday would guarantee the Pac-12 enters round-robin conference play with five or six teams in the AP top-25 poll.That would lead to a slew of ranked matchups on ABC and FOX later in the season … to more quality wins for playoff ...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:12:22 GMT

Anne Neuberger’s ascent to national security eminence has been a steady, impressive climb. Her eight-year tour through the National Security Agency has culminated in a powerful position in President Joe Biden’s National Security Council, where she helps guide national cybersecurity policy.Since 2007, Neuberger’s rapid rise through some of the most secretive and consequential components of the U.S. global surveillance machinery earned her a reputation as a hyper-capable operator where the government most needs one. While her work has earned public plaudits, The Intercept learned Neuberger’s tenure at the NSA triggered a 2014 internal investigation by the agency’s inspector general following allegations that she created a hostile workplace by inappropriately berating, undermining, and alienating her colleagues. In 2015, the inspector general’s report found that there was not enough evidence to sustain allegations that Neuberger fostered a hostile work environment, but it di...

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s central bank lowered its interest rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday despite the country’s double-digit inflation rate. The move prompted concerns that the central bank was wading into politics with a premature rate cut to help the populist governing party ahead of parliamentary elections next month.The National Bank of Poland’s monetary policy council announced that it was cutting the reference rate from 6.75% to 6%, and other interest rates by the same amount.The Polish currency, the zloty, immediately lost value against the dollar and euro.Economists had been expecting a rate cut, but not such a large one. Economic and political observers expressed surprise at such a big cut given that inflation, while declining after reaching over 18% earlier this year, is still running at slightly over 10% annually.But Poland’s robust economy is also showing some signs of slowing down and an election is approaching on Oct. 15 in which th...
