MORGANTOWN — West Virginia University has tabbed the football team’s offensive coordinator to take the helm as interim head coach for the Mountaineers’ season finale. Chad Scott was named WVU’s interim coach Monday morning and will coach the Mountaineers in whichever bowl game they play, the university announced. Scott replaces Neal Brown, who was fired Sunday after a 52-15 loss at Texas Tech dropped WVU to 6-6 on the season and 5-4 in the Big 12. “I want to thank Coach Scott for agreeing to lead our team in bowl preparation,” West Virginia University athletic director Wren Baker said. “He has been a strong and great leader for our program, and someone who cares for our student-athletes “I appreciate his willingness to step forward to make for as smooth of a transition as possible,” Baker added. “I have confidence that Coach Scott will have our team prepared and ready to play.” Scott was hired onto Brown’s initial staff in 2019 after spending from 2016-18 as North Carolina’s tight ends/hybrids coach. Scott has overseen WVU’s running backs for six years, was co-offensive coordinator from 2019-21, run game coordinator in 2022 and has been offensive coordinator the last two seasons. One of WVU’s strengths among its struggles in the 2024 season has been its running game. It ranked 27th nationally this season at 192.67 yards per game, and featured a trio of runners with at least 600 yards – running backs Jahiem White and C.J. Donaldson and quarterback Garrett Greene. WVU finished fourth overall in rushing in 2023. WVU will learn its bowl destination Sunday, when the rest of the college football postseason is announced. Coaching changes usually have a ripple effect in recruiting, and it has been no different for WVU following Brown’s dismissal. The Mountaineers have already seen multiple de-commitments since the announcement. The highest profile has been 2026 quarterback commit Brodie McWhorter from Cartersville, Georgia. McWhorter is a four-star prospect considered a top-20 QB prospect for the 2026 class. “When I committed in June, I never thought I would have to write this,” McWhorter wrote in a social media statement. “After talks with my family, due to recent coaching changes, we feel that it is best to decommit at this time. While this decision wasn’t easy, we think it is best for my future.” McWhorter holds offers from 25 schools, according to 247Sports.com, including Ohio State, Oregon and Indiana. Other de-commitments since Sunday include Tampa, Florida, cornerback Serious Stinyard and Huntingtown, Maryland, defensive lineman Evan Powell from the 2025 class and Aliquippa, Pennsylvania linebacker Daiveon Taylor in the 2026 class. Early National Signing Day for football for the 2025 class is Wednesday. WVU has also seen a handful of players already announce they’ll enter the transfer portal – redshirt junior offensive lineman Bryce Biggs, redshirt sophomore safety Raleigh Collins and redshirt freshman safety Josiah Jackson. Biggs played in three games this season. Collins did not see action this year, but played in 12 games the previous two seasons. Jackson played in two games last season, but did not see action this season.Tides will get new manager in 2025 as Buck Britton joins Orioles’ coaching staffPax caught in crossfire between prepaid, metered auto drivers at Pune rly stn

Democrats stick with Schumer as leader. Their strategy for countering Trump is far less certainWASHINGTON — Senate Democrats reelected Chuck Schumer as party leader on Tuesday as the party moves into a deeply uncertain time, with no real consensus on a strategy as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office. From left, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of N.Y., Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., gather after Senate Democratic leadership elections for the next session of Congress on Tuesday in Washington. Schumer faced no opposition in the party leadership elections, in which Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin was also reelected to the No. 2 spot and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar became the new No. 3. In a statement, Schumer, of New York, said he was honored to move the party forward “during this crucial period for our country.” “Our preference is to secure bipartisan solutions wherever possible and look for ways to collaborate with our Republican colleagues to help working families,” Schumer said. “However, our Republican colleagues should make no mistake about it, we will always stand up for our values.” While Schumer remains popular with his colleagues, it is a bleak moment for Senate Democrats, who were hopeful they could hold the majority for the third election in a row. Instead they lost four seats and will be in the minority, 53-47, as Trump takes office. Trump dialed in Tuesday with Senate Republicans as they began laying the groundwork for control of government. The brief call was more celebratory than a prescriptive policy agenda, according to those attending the private GOP retreat, urging senators to confirm his Cabinet nominees as they launch an agenda of tax cuts, deportations and other priorities. "It was a love fest," said Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo. “There was a real sense of unity in the room.” Republicans want to notch an early accomplishment after Trump’s inauguration Jan. 20. Incoming Senate Republican leader John Thune of South Dakota outlined a potential roadmap during the private retreat at the Library of Congress, detailing a potential strategy that would have senators working on an initial legislative package — energy, border security and defense priorities — that could be approved in the first 30 days of the new administration. Next, he explained that the senators would turn to reviving the expiring tax cuts from Trump's first term. The new Congress convenes Jan. 3, and the Senate expects to quickly begin holding confirmation hearings for Trump’s top Cabinet nominees. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., also addressed the GOP senators — noting his slim majority in the House. He “emphasized the need for unity heading into the first 100 days agenda,” his spokesman Taylor Haulsee said. Unlike eight years ago, when opposition to Trump’s narrow election win fueled enthusiasm in their party, Democratic lawmakers and many of their voters are exhausted and looking for answers. So far, Democrats stayed relatively quiet on Trump’s nominees and plans for office. Schumer declined to comment on specifics of any nominees, instead allowing Republican reaction to dominate the conversation. On Monday, Schumer wrote a public letter to Thune, asking him to resist Trump’s pressure to allow him to appoint some of his nominees without a Senate vote and to insist on full FBI background checks for all nominees. But he has said little else about Trump’s upcoming presidency. While some have been more aggressive — Washington Sen. Patty Murray, a former chairwoman of the Senate Health, Labor, Education and Pensions Committee, said that Trump’s nomination of Robert Kennedy Jr. to lead the Health and Human Services Department is “dangerous” and “nothing short of disaster” — several Democratic senators say they are saving their strength and figuring out a focus. “Everybody’s in kind of a wait-and-see mode right now,” said Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, part of Schumer’s leadership team. “Under the previous Trump administration, there was chaos all the time, all the time. And I do think it is important to pick your battles.” It’s still unclear which battles they will pick, and Democrats have differing opinions on how to fight them. Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz, who is also in Democratic leadership, says “anyone who has a grand strategy is full of crap” but thinks Democrats, for now, “need to keep things simple.” “We need to talk about people, protect people, advocate for people,” he said. “Do not talk about protecting institutions. Do not talk about advocating for institutions. It’s a not just a rhetorical shift, but an attitudinal shift. We have to remind ourselves, that we’re not fighting for programs and projects and line items and agencies or norms. We’re fighting for people.” Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said he’s spent a lot of time reflecting, and “I don’t think anyone can claim this was a policy election,” and Democrats need to look at cultural issues. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman says Democrats just need to “pace ourselves” and avoid the “massive freakout” of Trump's last term. Democrats should be preparing, says Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal. He says Schumer is picking his battles “very thoughtfully and strategically.” “We’re thinking about how we protect against using the FBI, or the prosecutorial authority of the Justice Department for retribution against critics,” Blumenthal said. “How we elevate these issues in a way that American people understand them.” Democrats know better now “the extraordinary challenges we’re going to face,” Blumenthal said.

CEO Andy Jassy has outlined some of the company's biggest challenges when it comes to using AI. Speaking as part of a guest appearance in the opening keynote of , Jassy highlighted the usefulness of "practical AI" in helping its customers. Outlining multiple examples of how the ecommerce giant utilizes AI internally, Jassy also shared some key learnings from the company's experiences with the technology - as well as revealing its . Andy Jassy and Amazon AI "We have been using AI expansively across the company for the last 25 years," Jassy noted, "but the way we think about technology - and this goes for AI as well - is that we're not using it because we think it's cool, we're using it because we're trying to solve customer problems." "That's why when we talk about AI, it's typically less to announced that we beat the best world-class chess player of the world - and more to allow you to have better recommendations, or to equip our pickers in our fulfilment centers...or for out Just Walk Out technology" "We prioritize technology that we think is going to really matter for customers, and with the explosion of generative AI in the last couple of years, we've taken that same approach - there is a ton of innovation, but what we're trying to do is solve problems for you - what we think of as practical AI." In his time on stage, Jassy highlighted a number of examples of Amazon's usage of generative AI, from customer service to creating pages for sellers, to inventory management. Jassy also focused on Rufus, its generative AI , which is reportedly getting better and smarter at recommending products to customers across the world, and a focus on robotics - which is becoming much more important in its fulfilment centers, providing huge increases in efficiency and productivity. But he noted this work is not without his challenges - even with the wealth of resources and knowledge Amazon possesses. "It's actually quite difficult to build a really good generative AI application - you need a good model, but you also need to have the right guardrails, the right fluency of message, and you have to have the right UI." "We keep learning the same lesson over and over and over again - there is never going to be one tool to rule the world." "In AWS, we are going to give you the very best combination...as we always do."
