The U.S.-China relationship will be one of the most important for advancing American interests in the 21st century. The nature of this relationship will define how responsibility on the world stage is delegated and how wealth will be accumulated.

Jake Boss Jr. is an offensive minded baseball coach. The fifth year MSU head coach isn’t all about home runs and power hitting, necessarily, but he loves when his team can go out and produce runs in various situations. That’s why Boss left the field after Saturday’s 11-2 win over Oakland at Kobs Field at McLane Baseball Stadium with a bigger smile on his face than after Friday’s 2-1 nailbiter. “If we execute, good things are going to happen,” Boss said.

Numbers outlining the scope of MSU’s controversial health care requirement show the policy is impacting just a small slice of this year’s new student population, but most are paying with no aid from the university. New data released by MSU shows about 6 percent of freshmen and transfer students, or 605 students, are enrolled in the university plan.
Eventually, the game had to make sense. At some point, Louisville had to stop hitting 3-pointers at a rate so much better than its regular season numbers would indicate, you’d think head coach Rick Pitino spoke to some sort of magician before the game.
