Saw Eephus today. Awesome, intimate movie about baseball, loss and change in small towns, tradition, and the quirky form of community men form through sports.

It's at The Ross in Lincoln until Monday.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

NIH cuts indirect rates on grants to 15%.

This will be the end of American excellence in science.

Universities will struggle and many (likely most) will terminate their research programs.

Independent research institutions will not be able to survive this.

The AVCA First Serve event is coming back and will be in Lincoln next year. Also, the event will be during the weekend. I would expect this to be played at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Looks like the AVCA First Serve Showcase is coming to Lincoln in August 2025.

The six (or eight) teams have yet to be announced.

Tickets will go on sale in the summer.
