Until a new AD is hired, Littlepage will run the office, and he already has an idea of the qualities his successor should possess. Asked to describe the ideal candidate for his job, Littlepage didn’t flinch. “I would say the most important thing is that it would require a person that is a listener, a person that is a relationship-builder,” he said. “To me, the most important thing is for the new person to come in here and develop the relationships and the respect among the coaches, to understand the culture that has been built.”

Lynch told The Hill.
Vyacheslav Nikonov, a member of Russia’s lower house of parliament, the Duma, appeared Sunday night on a show hosted by presenter Vladimir Solovyov that focused on whether U.S. global influence was in decline.

A landmark clinical trial that followed more than 27,000 subjects for roughly 18 years has offered some conclusive evidence that neither the hype nor the grim warnings about hormone-replacement therapy were warranted. “This study is just one more piece of reassuring data in line with our findings,” said Dr. JoAnn V.
