BC nose tackle Cam Horsley carries a heavy work load

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:02:16 GMT

Nose tackles are seldom noticed but command a lot of attention.Boston College nose tackle Cam Horsley understands the importance of the position in the Eagles’ front seven even though his work can go largely unrecognized. Horsley’s reward for doing this thankless task are the statistical windfalls enjoyed by the guys that have his back.When linebackers Vinny DePalma and Kam Arnold and strong safety John Pupel record double-digit tackles, it’s because Horsley is dealing with a center-guard double-teams at the point of attack.“It is underappreciated but if I’m one on one blocked, I’ll try and get off the block and make a play,” said Horsley. “If I’m double teamed, I’m eating up an extra blocker to make sure our linebackers are free.“It is definitely an unselfish position, but I try for production and make plays and stuff like that.”Horsley’s production is the one thing that has not gone unnoticed. The 6-3, 315-pound, senior from Riverton, N.J., is fifth on the team with 37 tackles wit...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:02:16 GMT

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops battled Palestinian militants in a dense, urban refugee camp on Tuesday as the army expanded operations across northern Gaza, where residents have been without electricity, water or access to humanitarian aid for weeks.The front line of the war, now in its seventh week, has shifted to the Jabaliya camp, a dense warren of concrete buildings near Gaza City that houses refugees from the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation and their descendants. Israel has been bombarding the area for weeks, and the military said Hamas fighters have regrouped there and in other eastern districts after being pushed out of much of Gaza City.The military said forces are “preparing the battlefield” in the area of Jabaliya. It said they struck three tunnel shafts where fighters were hiding and destroyed rocket launchers, adding that “dozens” of militants have been killed in recent days. There was no immediate comment from Hamas, and it was not possible...

The decline of Austria’s foreign policy: a view from inside

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:02:16 GMT

Being a small landlocked country in Central Europe, Austria has traditionally pursued a policy of neutrality and non-alignment in international affairs, especially between the East and the West. However, this policy has proven to be ineffective and counterproductive in the face of the recent challenges and crises that have confronted the European continent.            One of the most prominent examples of Austria’s foreign policy failure is its inability to position itself in relation to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Chancellor Karl Nehammer sought to reinforce Austria’s neutrality following the outbreak of the war: “Austria was neutral, Austria is neutral, Austria will remain neutral”. However, this continued ambiguity in international relations has been criticised by foreign affairs scholars and commentators alike. Indeed, Austria did not provide support to Ukraine’s ceasefire agreement offer in March 2022, and did ...

Kremlin seeking to eliminate me in Operation Maidan 3, Zelenskyy says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:02:16 GMT

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he’s aware of Russia’s latest plot to remove him from power by the end of the year.Zelenskyy told the Sun in an interview released late Monday that he had already survived at least “five, six” attempted assassinations since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with the latest campaign to remove him codenamed Operation Maidan 3.“It means to change the president,” Zelenskyy said. “Maybe it’s not by killing, I mean it’s changing — they will use any instruments they have.” The Kremlin’s deadline is “by the end of the year,” the president added.The codename appears to be a reference to Ukraine’s 2014 Maidan Revolution, during which protesters toppled the Moscow-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych.Russia has a history of assassination attempts against its opponents, and Zelenskyy has regularly alluded to the attempt...
