The Gophers have been working on a couple trick plays during closed practices in recent weeks. Unveiled Saturday, one worked to huge success and one didn’t pan out in a 26-25 loss to No. 4 Penn State. ADVERTISEMENT They busted out a double-reverse pass that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown from Max Brosmer to a wide open Jameson Geers in the first half to take a 17-10 lead at Huntington Bank Stadium. Then in the fourth quarter, the U called a throwback pass from Brosmer to left tackle Aireontae Ersery on second and goal from the 8-yard line. Brosmer intentionally threw it incomplete because Penn State’s All-America candidate, defensive end Abdul Carter, was waiting to make a tackle on the U’s athletic-but-massive lineman. “The reverse pass worked, so it’s a good call,” coach P.J. Fleck said postgame. “We were in the perfect defense for (the throwback pass). We practiced it all week. The only thing that they showed ... was pop (Carter) out. If he doesn’t pop out, there is nobody there. “It just didn’t come together,” Fleck continued. “It came together in practice. I love the call. I loved the look that we put it into. I would call it all over again based on the look that we had.” ADVERTISEMENT Brosmer shared that players were comfortable with the throwback call until Carter spoiled it. “Rather than taking a negative spot (by trying to complete it), we just went onto the next play,” Brosmer said. After the second trick play didn’t work, Brosmer’s third-down pass to Elijah Spencer fell incomplete and the U opted to kick a 26-yard field goal to make it 26-25 with five minutes left. “Kicking the field goal is the smart decision,” Fleck said.

Quest Partners LLC Takes $701,000 Position in Humana Inc. (NYSE:HUM)Musk’s DOGE commission may be a sham. But efficient government isn’t.LaMelo Ball is arguably the most enigmatic player in the NBA. He is universally acclaimed for his flashy playstyle. But his defensive deficiencies and injury issues have prompted doubts about whether he could be the franchise cornerstone the Hornets need. However, this season, he has been answering those questions. He has missed only one game and is averaging 31.1 points, which ranks second in the league. But despite his hot star, Lou Williams believes he’s only the fifth-best guard in the East. On FanDuel’s Run It Back show, the former Clippers star claimed that the Hornets, who are 6-13, aren’t equipped to earn a playoff berth this season. However, he believes the future could be bright. Williams said , Williams claimed that Bucks’ Damian Lillard, Hawks’ Trae Young, Cavaliers’ Darius Garland, and Knicks’ Jalen Brunson are above him in the guard rankings in the East. He added it’s close between Pistons’ Cade Cunningham and Ball for the fifth spot but he prefers the former. While Williams is entitled to his opinion, ranking the Hornets star as the sixth-best guard in the East this season grossly undermines his impact. LaMelo Ball is among the best in the East LaMelo Ball is one of only two players in the league alongside Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to average over 30 points per game. He has always been a stellar offensive player, but he’s finally taking the next step and becoming an elite scorer. Over the years, the Hornets star’s defensive impact has been scrutinized heavily. However, his defensive rating of 115.1 ranks 12th in the East among guards, above Darius Garland (115.1), Damian Lillard (116.8), Trae Young (119.2), and Jalen Brunson (121). Among the names Williams mentioned, only Cunningham has a better defensive rating than Ball with 111.9. However, he’s averaging only 23.5 points per game, nearly eight fewer than the Hornets star. While he has been exceptional as a scorer, his playmaking hasn’t been up to the mark. He’s averaging only 6.9 assists per game, which is lower than every player on the former Clippers star’s list, except Darius Garland (6.8). However, it’s worth noting that sophomore Brandon Miller is the only other reliable scoring option on the Hornets, putting the onus on Ball to carry the offense. Charlotte’s 6-13 record has been used as a knock to undermine the 23-year-old’s campaign. However, except for Garland’s Cavaliers, none of the teams of the other five players that Williams named on his list have had a noteworthy season. On the contrary, Brunson’s Knicks and Lillard’s Bucks have had underwhelming seasons. Young’s Hawks and Cunningham’s Pistons haven’t exactly set the league ablaze either. Any argument against Ball being the best guard in the East this season falls flat in the face of facts. It remains to be seen whether he can sustain this form. But for now, no player in his position in his conference can claim they are having a better year than Ball.

Officials at the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) have taken a proactive approach to artificial intelligence in the past year — forming a task force to conduct surveys on how schools were already using generative AI, then creating guidelines to vet tech vendors, pilot new AI products, train staff to use new tools and even budget for future innovations. At the California Information Technology in Education (CITE) conference in San Diego this week, three of those officials shared what they've learned so far about bringing AI to schools ethically and effectively, and what they’d recommend to educators who aren’t sure where to start. Christopher Hoang, LACOE assistant director of technology, innovation and outreach, said the AI landscape changes weekly or even daily, so LACOE opted for a flexible-governance approach. “Working with our team, I intentionally told them, ‘I don’t want policy,’ because the moment you put policy in place is the moment it becomes rigid,” he said. Mike Lawrence, IT director at ABC Unified School District, said his district focused less on specific tools and more on general behavior goals. He made an to the district’s existing technology policies to address issues like privacy, attribution and critical thinking. For attribution, the policy includes a “badge” system, which uses physical stickers and posters to show the role AI played in producing work: produced by AI alone, produced by AI and modified by a human, or produced by a human and modified by AI. “We’re encouraging our staff and students to attach those badges to the work that they submit so that it opens up a conversation and takes away some of the taboo around those tools,” Lawrence said. LACOE’s guidelines are also adaptable but focus less specifically on instruction, including vetting tips for the procurement process and advice on collecting ongoing feedback. LACOE director of technology learning and support services Johan Madrigal said that as AI transforms education, it will be important to create guidance like this quickly to ensure the technology furthers organizational goals rather than disrupting them. He said including leadership in early conversations helped LACOE establish guidance relatively quickly. “Getting in front of everybody was critical for us,” Madrigal said. “We got in front of our executive cabinet, we had the training with them, and they were all very positive on what it can mean for their own group. That kind of led the way for us to have outreach with all of the groups.” One thing presenters said they learned from talking to other ed-tech leaders across the U.S. is the need for ongoing, hands-on experiences, not one-time overviews. “Professional development for us has to be hands-on,” Hoang said. “Anyone who says an hour of AI training is enough is lying to you.” Lawrence suggested that the training start with introductory activities that assume everyone has used AI before, allowing them to learn by exploring rather than telling. For example, instead of explaining the importance of specific prompts, a professional development session might display an image and ask attendees to use an AI image generator to recreate it as closely as they can. After introducing AI, LACOE's recommendation is to break training down into targeted sessions for different groups — teachers, administrators, classified staff, et cetera. Panelists also stressed the need for investment and setting aside funding for ongoing AI initiatives and training. Another unanimous tip from LACOE officials was that effective guidance and professional development will include everyone — not just teachers and administrators but also support staff, families and students. AI has the potential to perpetuate digital divides if not addressed holistically, Hoang said. Panelists highlighted the need to include the community in addition to employees. LACOE held focus groups with students to understand their views of AI and hear their input on guidance principles. In those discussions, Hoang asked students if their parents knew about AI, and all said “yes” even though they had never discussed it explicitly, he said. However, when he told students to ask their parents about AI and circle back with him, he found many parents did not actually know the basics of the technology. “We assume everyone knows about it, just because everyone in here is very tech-y,” he said. “But the fact is, most people still don’t know about it. They might see it in the news, but they don’t know about it.” ABC Unified hosted community roundtables to raise awareness about AI. In one event centered on students’ opinions of AI, facilitators gave students a potential use case for AI in academics, then asked them to raise a red or green paddle to indicate whether they thought the situation was ethical or not. “I think the kids were harder on it than we would have been,” Lawrence said. Another event focused on families’ knowledge and concerns about AI in education. At this session, Lawrence heard one parent say AI just seems like cheating to them. “You may have an open AI policy in your district with guidelines, but if the parents at home are like, ‘No, absolutely not, that's cheating,’ then the students will be limited in their ability to learn AI and be able to apply it ethically and appropriately,” he said.
