But none of that means he wants to leave Baton Rouge quite yet. MORE: Where would Fournette go in 2017 mock draft? “At the end of the day, nobody wants to leave college. Nobody’s ready for the real world,” Fournette said Tuesday (via SECCountry.com). “I know I’m not, to be honest. So I have to wait and see when we talk to Coach (Ed Orgeron).” Fournette has battled leg injuries the last two seasons and reportedly took out two separate $10 million insurance policies last offseason....

California’s Stanford gets a lot of credit for the rise of the new economy. But don’t underestimate the contribution made by the IIT system, five elite colleges founded by tech-minded Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the 1950s. IIT Kanpur produced Narayana Murthy, CEO of Indian software powerhouse Infosys–now valued at more than $20 billion on America’s Nasdaq. Other campuses graduated some big names in Silicon Valley, including Desh Deshpande of Sycamore Networks and Vinod Khosla of Sun Microsystems and venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins....

Obama’s senior strategists believe they—and the rest of the field—will soon lose voters’ attention as the holiday season shuts down political life several days before Christmas. They say Iowans are already weary of phone and email contact, and may well react negatively if the intrusions continue through the festive period. With the student population ready to head home, this is the time to make their closing arguments. And that was how Oprah hit the road with her candidate of choice, spending the weekend shuttling from Iowa on Saturday to South Carolina and New Hampshire on Sunday....

I don’t care what happens the rest of the season. Enough of this nonsense about the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the Rams duo of Jared Goff and Todd Gurley.

The airplane was White Knight, and strapped to its belly, a smaller vessel called SpaceShipOne–the craft that esteemed airplane designer Burt Rutan hopes will be the first privately built manned spaceship in human history. But as SpaceShipOne detached from White Knight for an unpowered glide test, the radio chatter at Mojave Airport was suddenly tinged with alarm. “Cut back on your trim, Mike, you’re way out of it!” a voice urged Mike Melville, the ship’s test pilot, over the com....

The first half saw Levante take a quick lead of two goals with both goals coming from Emanuel Boateng. Phillipe Coutinho pulled one back for Barcelona. If the first half was anything to go by, one could very certainly predict that this was going to be a goal-fest. The second half certainly did not disappoint. Both teams scored three each with hattricks for Emanuel Boateng and Phillipe Coutinho. Enis Bardhi scored a brace for Levante while Luis Suarez scored from the spot to give some hopes to Barcelona faithful....

The Marlins outfielder was involved in a controversial moment on Sunday, when he was at-bat on during the Marlins matchup vs. the Rockies; a fan in the stands behind home plate appeared to have shouted the N-word twice, with the epithet caught by on-field microphones. As it turns out, the fan was instead yelling for Colorado’s mascot “Dinger,” trying to get its attention for a photograph with his family, according to the Rockies....

When I picked up the Gram 17, it felt like an empty file folder because you don’t expect a big laptop to be so graceful in the hands. I recently took the Gram for a test drive and came away impressed with both its gorgeous screen and outstanding ergonomics. But could it work as a viable replacement for my MacBook Pro? Hardly More Than a Gram At just under 3 pounds, the Gram 17 is built for travel and commutes....
