Iowa State star Audi Crooks' third-straight game of 30+ points on 65% or better shooting puts her in a class with some of the greatest to ever do it across the NBA, WNBA, and collegiate basketball 👀

Shaq. LeBron. Griner. Durant. Jokic. Antetokounmpo... and now add on Audi Crooks 🔥

Audi Crooks joins Brittney Griner (2013) as the only D-I players since 2000 to record three straight games with at least 30 points on 65% FG 🔥

No D-I men's player has accomplished this since 2000.

🇺🇸 Remembering Pearl Harbor

Today, we honor the lives lost and the heroes who rose in the face of tragedy on December 7, 1941.
84 years later, we pause to reflect on their sacrifice, their courage, and the moment that forever changed our nation.

“A date which will live in infamy.”

We remember. We honor. We never forget.

At the Clarendon Laboratory of the University of Oxford, a small device known as the Oxford Electric Bell has been operating since it was set up in 1840.

It uses two early “dry pile” batteries to drive a 4 mm metal ball that swings between a pair of bells about twice per second, producing billions of rings over its lifetime. Oxford’s records note the label “Set up in 1840,” and researchers report that, apart from short pauses caused by humidity, it has rung continuously since then.

The exact internal construction of the batteries is still uncertain, though documents suggest a Zamboni-type stack of metal and paper discs sealed in sulphur. Because opening the device could end the run, scientists plan to leave it intact until the bell eventually stops, even though it currently holds a Guinness World Record as the world’s most durable battery.

She didn’t arrive green. She didn’t arrive famous. She arrived copper-brown and standing in the rain.

On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was officially unveiled in New York Harbor — not as the sea-green icon we know today, but as a dull, shining copper figure, the color of a brand-new penny.

She wouldn’t turn green for another 30 years.
The ocean air slowly oxidized her surface, creating the patina that now protects her from corrosion — a natural armor that became part of her identity.

But the statue almost never got built.

France paid for the statue.
America had to pay for the pedestal.
And the fundraising failed… until one man changed everything.

Newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer launched a campaign promising to print the name of every single donor in the New York World — even if they gave just a few cents.

People responded in droves.

More than 120,000 everyday Americans — factory workers, children, immigrants, families with almost nothing — donated whatever they could. Most gave less than a dollar. But together they raised over $100,000 and saved the project.

Lady Liberty was built on small gifts, not big money.
On hope, not wealth.

Designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, with an internal skeleton engineered by Gustave Eiffel, she became the first sight millions of immigrants saw as they reached America — a promise carved in copper and lifted toward the sky.

For 138 years, she has stood as a symbol of freedom, welcome, and the belief that a new beginning is always possible.

Not bad for a statue that arrived without a color… and became the color of hope.
