Like so many American boys at the turn of the 20th century, Alfred Hubbard started out barefoot and never made it to the fourth grade. He grew up in th...

Savannah Woodard had a big weekend. Alabama extends their winning streak to ten straight after their second consecutive sweep of an SEC opponent. The Crimson Tide bats have double digits hits in five straight. Montana Fouts also stays on a hot streak pitching in all three wins. GAME 1: ALABAMA 8, OLE MISS 0 (5 innings) The Ole Miss outfielders were mighty busy fielding Bama hits as the new and improved Crimson Tide batting lineup continues their offensive tear. Alexis Mack and KB Sides single...

Most people probably think of epidemiologists as simply doctors who specialize in contagious illness, but that would be only part of the story. Indeed, rather than studying and finding cures for diseases, arguably the most important component of the field is increasingly being viewed as something else entirely - the molding of public behavior. This explains why so many who go into epidemiology hold undergraduate degrees in public health, which focuses on the social and behavioral sciences, inst...

Paramount+ Shares The Stand Series Premiere on YouTube for Free The latest adaptation of Stephen Kings The Stand debuted on CBS All Access last December, but with the streaming service having since rebranded as Paramount+, the first episode of the adaptation has been made available for free on YouTube. While the iconic tome from King was previously adapted into a four-episode series in 1994, this latest adaptation once again enlisted top-tier talent, though its production budget largely eclips...

WHAT ITS ABOUT: After a man-made virus called Captain Trips wipes 99% of mankind off the face of the planet, a small group of survivors in the American heartland are left to pick up the pieces and build a new civilisation. Even with most of humanity dead, the final remnants of humanity are once again divided, but this time by far more than just political squabbling. With loyalties divided between the saintly Mother Abagail Freemantle (Whoopi Goldberg) on one side and the devilish - perhaps lite...

With Bailey Hemphill starting to finally hit like her old self and the pitching staff looking ridiculously good, the Crimson Tide appears to be in good shape for the SEC gauntlet that lies ahead. Unexpectedly, several freshmen will be key to the Tide’s success this year. GAME 1: ALABAMA 9, KENT STATE 1 (6 innings) Lexi Kilfoyl (7-0) was once again solid, pitching 6 innings for a 2-hit, 7-strikeout win. She did not walk any opposing batters and the one run allowed was unearned. KSU countered...

“No, coronavirus is NOT like The Stand,” the author wrote of his 1978 novel about a superflu that wipes out most of humanity and the moral stand the survivors make afterward. “It’s not anywhere near as serious. It’s eminently survivable. Keep calm and take all reasonable precautions.” I’ve often wondered since whether King has thought differently about that statement, through a year when most Americans have been confined to their homes, watching the death toll from COVID-19 rise...

Screenshot: CBS All Access The Stand. I really liked parts of it, and I bounced hard off other parts. But I think the moment that sums the show up best is that, towards the end of the series, there’s a scene where a character has sex with the Devil. The Devil usually appears as Alexander Skarsgård (exactly how I would appear if I were the Devil) but while the two character are having sex, his usual glamour slips a little, and the scene flashes between a romantic scenario in a rose petal-str...

The Stand arrived on Thursday with "The Circle Closes", a "coda" to the iconic story written by King himself. The episode was billed as being a new ending to the saga, a version of the story that King had been wanting to tell for three decades so, even going into things fans expected a unique experience. However, with a few details of the main story left after last weeks "The Stand", there are still enough elements of the novel to compare to how theyre approached in the episode -- and the overa...

spoilers from the Season 1 of "The Stand," including its finale. If you watched all nine episodes of the CBS All Access remake of "The Stand" . . . why? Why did you do that to yourself? This is not a facetious query, I swear. Im asking because I wanted to understand why you willingly subjected yourself to nine hours of a series that established its predictability and mediocrity by the third episode. You experienced the stupidity of this versions Trashcan Man as interpreted by an actor who rea...
