MADISON, Wis. –

The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents voted unanimously Friday to fire a communications professor who wanted to keep his job after he was fired as chancellor of one of the system’s campuses for producing pornographic films.

Joe Gow, who served as UW-La Crosse’s chancellor for nearly 17 years, argued last week that he should retain a teaching position on campus. But the university’s lawyers argued that he behaved unethically, violated the terms of his employment contract, damaged the university’s reputation and compromised its mission.

The regents met in closed session Friday morning before publicly voting to fire Gow. There was no public discussion before the board vote.

Gow said he is considering filing a lawsuit to keep his teaching job. He did not immediately respond to a message Friday morning.

Gow has been on paid leave from his faculty position since the regents fired him as chancellor in 2023, shortly after university leadership became aware of the videos posted on pornographic websites.

The case has drawn national attention both for the salaciousness of a high-ranking university official making and speaking publicly about pornographic films and for the questions it raises about free speech rights.

Gow argued that his videos and two e-books that he and his wife Carmen published about their experiences in adult films were protected by the First Amendment. The university’s attorney argued that Gow’s videos themselves were legal, but that they were not protected by his employment contract.

Zach Greenberg, an attorney with the free speech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, called the regents’ decision “a major blow to academic freedom and the right to free expression.”

“FIRE has said time and time again: Public universities cannot sacrifice the First Amendment to protect their reputations,” Greenberg said. “We are disappointed that the UW has caved to donors and politicians by alienating a tenured professor.”

Republican lawmakers already view Wisconsin’s university system as a liberal incubator. Last year they forced the company to scale back its diversity initiatives. System President Jay Rothman has tried to avoid further angering conservatives as he seeks approval for an $855 million increase in the next state budget.

Gow’s hope of teaching in the classroom again was rejected by his department head, Linda Dickmeyer. She said that because Gow had not taught in 20 years, he would be assigned general education courses, but she declined to allow him to return to teaching in any capacity.

Gow was criticized in 2018 for inviting porn actress Nina Hartley to speak on campus. She received $5,000 from tuition fees for her performance. The university said he came up with the idea of ​​bringing her to campus after filming a pornographic video with her.

Gow and his wife’s e-books were written under the pseudonyms “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enhances Our Relationships” and “Married with Benefits – Our Real Adventures in the Adult Industry.” But they also star in a YouTube channel called “Sexy Healthy Cooking,” in which the couple cooks meals with porn actors.

Die Auswirkungen des Regens und der Winde von Hurrikan Helene verursachen Schäden in ganz Ost-Tennessee.

Der stetige Regen eines typischen Sturms begann diese Woche zunächst Ost-Tennessee zu durchdringen, dann wehten die äußeren Bänder des Hurrikans Helene in die südlichen Appalachen. Jetzt sind die Überreste des Sturms hierher gelangt und haben die Winde, die Schäden verursacht haben, über weite Teile von Florida und Georgia gebracht.

„Es ist zu erwarten, dass umgestürzte Bäume und Stromleitungen zu Stromausfällen führen. Kehren Sie um, ertrinken Sie nicht“, warnten Experten des National Weather Service-Büros in Morristown.

Virginia Tech thought they had upset No. 7 Miami on the road, but the victory was literally taken out of their hands.

With three seconds left and four points behind, Hokies quarterback Kyron Drones sent the ball streaming into the back of the end zone toward a swarm of Hokies and Hurricanes.

With the naked eye it was difficult to tell who originally had the ball as seven players were jumping on it.

After some scrumming, a Miami defensive back ran off with the pigskin and the celebrations began.

However, the decision on the field was actually a touchdown caught by Da’Quan Felton.

But there was a lengthy review and the officials reversed the decision, giving the Hurricanes a 38-34 victory and leaving the Hokies in complete disbelief.

“It was only half an inch,” Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal said on the ESPN broadcast after the game, admitting his team played “sloppy.”

Virginia Tech got into the game first with a touchdown on their first drive, but the Hurricanes responded by finding the end zone themselves on consecutive drives. However, the Hokies scored 20 unanswered points and took a 27-17 lead early in the third quarter.

Miami scored a touchdown late in the quarter to cut its deficit to three, but Virginia Tech found the end zone again and regained a lead of 10. On the Canes’ next drive, they made it a three-point game again, and then, she forced a threesome.

The Canes marched down the field and capitalized on the drive with a touchdown to take the lead with two minutes left. Virginia Tech obviously had more than enough time, but the evaluation wasn’t on their side.

Miami’s Cam Ward completed 24 of his 38 passes for 343 yards and four touchdowns, with 10 different Hurricanes making at least one reception.

Hokies running back Bhayshul Tuten ran for 141 yards on 19 carries, one of which was a score.

Miami, now 5-0, will visit Cal next week, while Virginia Tech, 2-3, will also fly west for a date with Stanford.

After being hit by injury bugs during their late playoff push last season, the Sacramento Kings have already encountered a hurdle heading into training camp.

The Kings have announced that Trey Lyles suffered a left groin strain and Jordan McLaughlin suffered a Grade 2 right ankle sprain, both during offseason workouts.

– James Ham (@James_HamNBA) September 27, 2024

Lyles will be reassessed in about three weeks, McLaughlin in two. Both players will miss the start of training camp, if not all of it.

Last season, Lyles missed 24 games due to injury, including the first 13 contests of the year. With a severe lack of offensive depth in Sacramento, the Kings cannot afford to lose valuable pieces for an extended period of time.

McLaughlin, whom the Kings signed in free agency this offseason, has been brought in as a valuable backup point guard to De’Aaron Fox, especially while rookie Devin Carter recovers from shoulder surgery.

Now that Kevin Huerter, Carter, McLaughlin and Lyles are all likely to miss training camp, other players in the Sacramento locker room will have to step in. With Lyles likely to miss training camp and the start of the preseason, Jalen McDaniels or undrafted rookie Isaiah Crawford could make the most of the opportunity.

As for the McLaughlin injury, we could see sophomore guard Colby Jones get some backup point guard reps in training camp or undrafted rookie Boogie Ellis capitalize on his position.

While it’s a downer to see a spate of injuries before training camp, it could open the door for Sacramento’s young core to improve.

MILWAUKEE — About 36 hours after escaping a natural disaster in the South, the Mets caused a debacle of their own making, imploding minutes into a crucial game with ace Sean Manaea on the mound. The Mets are still in control of their own destiny after their opening game loss here, although that’s not exactly a huge blessing considering how they’re playing in their biggest game of the season.

The current scorecard for the trip that will decide this season is as follows: Braves one win, Brewers one win, Hurricane Helene two rainouts, Mets two no-show games.

This certainly wasn’t the time for one of the worst performances of the season, but that’s exactly what it was. There were almost no encouraging events.

Manaea didn’t look like himself at all, and the Mets’ lineup didn’t come together nearly enough against Frankie Montas and Co., who shut out the Yankees. Additionally, Mets star Francisco Lindor, playing his first full game in two weeks, doesn’t look 100 percent, no matter what anyone says. He just seemed to stick it out.

To add insult to injury, noted Mets tormentor Rhys Hoskins once again played the villain, hitting a grand slam in the first inning of the Mets’ 8-4 loss. Not that anyone gets to pick their winners, but Hoskins has already been reviled in the Mets clubhouse.

This Hoskins hate started when he was back in Philly, but he killed the Mets in the first week of that season when he won a game with his hitting heroics after hitting Jeff McNeil (remember him?) with a hard one sliding into second base had upset. Then, six months later, he dared to start on that final weekend of the season. His two-out, two-strike home run to left basically decided everything after 20 minutes.

The Mets have two games left here and a chance. But they have to take it up.

Give plenty of credit to the up-and-coming Brewers from arguably the smallest MLB market (Milwaukee and Cincinnati have held that title for years). They field, they run the bases (they stole at will on Friday) and they win, securing the No. 3 seed and home field for their wild-card series — whether they play the Mets or someone else .

The game was almost meaningless for Milwaukee, yet they started with their “A” lineup and played close to their “A” game. Good for you. But bad for the Mets.

For the team from Queens, this attempt was almost a complete failure. They were playing in a competition they “had to win” (coach Carlos Mendoza) after fleeing Atlanta, and they didn’t give themselves a chance.

However, I can’t say they didn’t show fire. Mendoza was ejected for freaking out home plate umpire Ramon De Jesus after De Jesus called out Francisco Alvarez on a pitch that appeared below the strike zone with two outs and two outs in the fourth. That happened after Alvarez — who later left with back spasms — hopped around and threw his helmet to the ground.

There is reason to scream. The final schedule, which looked difficult, took a significant turn for the worse when the possibility of a flight south and a return trip to Atlanta on Monday to make up the two lost games came into play.

Even if the Mets get through this weekend well, their pitching depth will be tested with the prospect of two games on Monday before the start of a potential playoff series on Tuesday. This matchup could happen again next week if the Mets are lucky enough to beat the Braves or Diamondbacks. And if so, the small team from this beautiful Midwestern city will have almost every advantage.

That’s not just because the Mets’ decent strength will be severely depleted by then, but also because the Brewers honestly appear to be the better team. These little things they do can add up, right?

As if the Mets didn’t have enough to worry about, former MVP candidate Lindor didn’t really resemble himself. He managed a leg kick, but struck with an unusually weak swing and made a rare throwing error while playing through a back problem. Although both he and team staff kept saying he was fine, he didn’t look it.

The whole team doesn’t seem quite right either. But even though this journey has been nothing short of disastrous so far, remarkably her circumstances are still not entirely dire. They just need to beat one of the Braves or Diamondbacks, who have similar records and other weaknesses. The Braves can pitch, but they can’t hit. The D’backs are the opposite: good hitters but suspect pitchers.

Right now, it looks like the Mets can’t accomplish much. But as we know, things can change quickly. The Mets came back from an 0-5 start and 11 games under .500 and prepared for a possible playoff appearance. But they’re returning to their previous games at the worst possible time and simply can’t play like they did on Friday when they expect to get where they want to go.

The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines face their second Big Ten Conference match of the season as the Minnesota Golden Gophers visit Ann Arbor for kickoff today at noon.

After trailing by four points, a 63-yard run by fifth-grader Kalel Mullings was the key play that led the Wolverines to a 27-24 comeback victory over USC last week. Mullings led the team with 159 yards on 17 carries and had two touchdowns.

In his first start at quarterback, junior Alex Orji completed 7 of 12 passes for a meager 32 yards against the Trojans and was sacked twice. He rushed for 43 yards on 13 carries.

The Wolverines currently have a 23-game winning streak against Big Ten opponents in the regular season. Today’s match will also be the 99th Little Brown Jug game.

Michigan vs. USC predictions, tips, odds

Tony Garcia, Detroit Free Press: The Wolverines have often knocked off mid-major Big Ten teams like Minnesota in recent years, but without a solid passing game, it’s hard to see them pulling away unless it happens late. The Gophers have the better passing game and UM was prone to giving up yards when the opponent’s QB gets the ball out quickly. But if Minnesota doesn’t end up establishing its own running game, the Wolverines’ front four of Josaiah Stewart, Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant and Derrick Moore could enjoy a one-dimensional offense. Michigan will try to wear down Minnesota the same way Iowa did a week ago. The choice: Michigan 20, Minnesota 12.

Just last week, Leah Peters was on top of the world — or at least Jankie World ⁠— To Big Brother. But what happens comes, and she found that out the hard way in Thursday’s live eviction episode (September 26).

You see, Leah successfully dismantled The Trio by targeting T’Kor Clottey. It was a very big power move, as T’kor was considered a leading candidate for the overall win at one point in the season. However, the remaining two members of this crew — Kimo Apaka and Ruina Bernabe – worked hard to get revenge on Leah by convincing Makensy Manbeck to use her veto power to save Kimo from the block and put up Leah instead. And it worked.

Did Leah see this switcheroo coming? And how did she feel about the unanimous decision to send her away? TV Insider caught up with Leah Peters to find out. (Note: She was not aware of the consequences of the subsequent eviction at the time of the interview.)

(Also, be sure to check out our previous exit interviews with Matt Hardeman, Lisa Weintraub, Kenney Kelley, Cedric Hodges, Brooklyn Rivera, Tucker Des Lauriers, Joseph Rodriguez, Quinn Martin and T’kor Clottey.)

Were you surprised that the vote was unanimous to evict Angela, and why or why not?

Leah Peters: I’m very shocked that I’m the only unanimous voter so far Big Brother Season 26. Going up against Angela is even better because I think everyone uses Angela as a perpetual pawn and I kept trying to point out that standing next to her is how you go home. I was another one Subject of this pattern. So it’s very shocking and surprising, but also iconic. That’s why I’m happy to be one.

Do you have bad feelings for Makensy, your original throuple throw-mance ally with Matt Hardenman, after she confronted you about Kimo, her own choice?

I could never be angry with Makensy. She is someone I really care about. I think she did what she truly felt was best for her game and I will support her every step of the way.

Looking back on the season, is there anything you wish you had a mulligan on and why?

I don’t think it’s fair to ask myself what I could have done better. I firmly believe that anything I could have done differently would have had the exact same result. I’m really proud of the way I played the game. And at the end of the day, it’s easy to say all the things you would do differently. But if I had gone one step further, I would have been proud of it. So I don’t want to have any regrets in this regard and just move on.

Now that you’re on the jury, what do you expect and who might you be able to advocate for?

Oh, expect the unexpected. That is Big Brother. I really want a woman to win this season. That was my goal all along. I’m for Angela, Makensy or Chelsea. It would be absolutely amazing if three of them won and I will support them. I think they are all fantastic, highly motivated and smart women and watching them win would be an achievement for anyone.

Who are you most looking forward to spending time with outside of the house?

Outside the house, I look forward to spending time with Kimo. Honestly, T’kor, Quinn, Joseph. There are so many people. It’s hard to narrow it down, but I’m really looking forward to spending time with almost everyone, including Chelsie and Makensy, and getting the chance to build real relationships with them that aren’t about a pot of gold to crawl. They’re all amazing people and I’m really looking forward to cultivating these relationships outside of the house.

NORTHVILLE, Mich. (WILX) – Northville’s mayor released a statement Thursday regarding the tragic incident that resulted in a 12-year-old boy losing his life during a field trip to Howell Nature Center.

On a field trip on September 26, Our Lady of Victory School sixth-grader Declan Carter was at the nature center during a field trip when a tree tragically fell on the 12-year-old.

Carter was flown to CS Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, where he later died.

“I had the pleasure of getting to know Declan as I often visited him and his sister Georgia outside their home, especially for lemonade on hot summer afternoons,” said Mayor Brian P. Turnbull. “He had great academic, athletic (as one of the best runners in the region) and social potential as part of the fabric and DNA of Northville.

“All of us at City Hall send our thoughts and prayers to the family, including his father John Carter (an esteemed city council leader), his mother Liz Carter and his sisters Georgia and Ainsley.”

Carter died in the hospital shortly after 8 p.m.

Knighton Museum operators say the water problems have forced the museum to close the doors of the Broad Street Museum for at least the next six months.

“We regret to announce that due to ongoing leakage issues we are closing the museum until April 2025,” the Knighton Museum announced on its Facebook page on Thursday.

Barry Samuels called it “a huge disgrace” when reacting to the news.

An upcoming talk by Chris Franklin on ‘Anglo-Saxons and life on the Welsh border’, taking place on October 6th at 2pm, will be held at the Offa’s Dyke Center in Knighton.

The museum opened in 2017 on the site of one of the city’s most famous stores of the 20th century, Clee & Sons, which was Knighton’s first department store.

The museum reflects the social history of the region. Most of the exhibits have been either donated or loaned by locals and illustrate the varied history of the Powys border town, from drovers to flannel weavers, trading to farming.

The museum’s exhibits include a kitchen and scullery from the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, as well as elements of late Victorian to early Elizabeth II schoolrooms. The star attraction is what may be the oldest fire apparatus in the UK – a hand-pulled, hand-pumped fire engine from the Georgian era.

Many of the exhibits can be handled by visitors, making the entire experience both child-friendly for children and memorable for adults.

The museum is a registered charity run by volunteers and funded by donations. Entry is completely free.

Its trustees and volunteers are made up of Knighton Town Council, Powys County Council and members of the public interested in history, archaeology, re-enactments, agriculture and education.
