13+ min ago (250+ words) After Jake Fischer reported that the Atlanta Hawks will not use the 2026 NOP/MIL swap in a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, it is clear that the Hawks see themselves as outsiders for a trade and are not making a serious effort to acquire the two-time MVP. Antetokounmpo is ostensibly available for trade after a series of headlines broke last week, but little formal progress was made, according to insiders. Teams are still waiting for the Bucks to fully accept that they have lost their franchise player before making official offers. While formal trade talks have not yet begun, the Hawks" reluctance to package their best asset (aside from Jalen Johnson) shows they are not desperate for this trade and probably will not tender the best offer." Not sending the 2026 pick is a bold risk that could either make or destroy…...

32+ min ago (767+ words) When computer science (CS) major Amber Ephraim walks across the Commencement stage this month, her diploma will bear a distinction earned by only a few Georgia Tech graduates each year: the International Plan (IP) designation. Ephraim is one of eight Georgia Tech students to receive the IP designation this semester. She is joined by CS major Andrew Wang, who is also graduating this month with the IP designation. Georgia Tech's IP designation demonstrates a student's "strong, intentional commitment to global education," according to Heidi Fiedler, Georgia Tech's IP academic manager. She added that employers and graduate programs see IP as evidence of adaptability, intercultural communication skills, and global perspectives. "It meaningfully differentiates a Georgia Tech degree and highlights a graduate's readiness to thrive in a global environment," Fiedler said. Ephraim said that her curiosity about the International Plan began during…...

Soroka landed on his feet in getting a nice one year deal from the Nationals last year and was eventually traded to the Cubs where he was immediately hurt again (this time his shoulder). While his injury history seems to keep getting longer, the Diamondbacks still decided to sign Soroka to a one year deal News: Free agent pitcher Mike Soroka is in agreement with the Diamondbacks on a 1-year deal, pending a physical, sources tell me and @JeffPassan....
