Why does Old Dominion continue to win at such a high level in college tennis?ODU Women's Tennis Head Coach Dom Manilla and ODU Men's Tennis Head Coach Dominik Mueller join Aaron and Mike for a wide-ranging conversation about the championship culture both programs have built — and what it takes to sustain that success as college athletics changes around them.The two Doms take us inside their different approaches to recruiting, roster construction, NIL and the transfer portal, including why Mueller believes the portal has actually opened doors for ODU to land better freshmen.They also tackle a much bigger issue facing college athletics: tennis programs around the country being eliminated as athletic departments face increasing financial pressure. Manilla explains why winning, fundraising, community support and running a first-class program have never been more important.Plus:

Old Dominion legend Kent Bazemore joins The Monarchists for a wide-ranging conversation about his remarkable journey from a tiny North Carolina town to ODU basketball and a decade in the NBA.Baze takes us back to the beginning — arriving at Old Dominion as a raw 164-pound redshirt, battling his way up the depth chart, becoming one of college basketball's elite defenders, winning championships and helping create one of the greatest eras in Monarch basketball history.Then we head to the NBA.Kent tells us how an undrafted opportunity with Golden State changed his life, why he embraced being the best teammate he could be even when he wasn't playing, what it was like sharing locker rooms with Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, and why those 60-win Atlanta Hawks were so special.And yes, there are stories.The infamous Warriors popcorn-car prank. His first encounter with Kobe. Battling LeBron. The heartbreak of Butler. Life as a Laker. His Atlanta years. Going back to the G League after a decade in the NBA. And how golf became much more than another sport.Kent also gets candid about fatherhood, burnout, life after the NBA, what he wants to do next in basketball, and why he believes Old Dominion can build something special again.For Monarch Nation, this one is personal.Like.

He breaks down his relationship-driven coaching philosophy, the importance of consistency and accountability, and how Indian River has created a culture in which players fall in love with the work.The offensive line talk gets deep, too.

Dr. Robyn Nadolny is a Biologist and the Chief of the Vector-Borne Disease Branch at the Defense Centers for Public Health at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (DCPH-A). The flagship program of the Vector-Borne Disease Branch is MilTICK, a free, rapid tick-testing program for military beneficiaries. The results provide a tool in the diagnostic toolbox for military beneficiaries, and Dr. Nadolny uses the passive surveillance data generated to better understand changing tick-borne disease dynamics and mitigate risks to US Service Members and their communities. She is also working on tick-borne disease surveillance projects worldwide to support military communities. Dr. Nadolny came to DCPH-A in 2016 after completing her PhD in Ecological Sciences from Old Dominion University (ODU) in Norfolk, VA. She also holds a M.S. in Biology from ODU, and a B.S. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavioral Biology from Beloit College in Beloit, WI. Her research focuses on the prevention of tick-borne disease through understanding and breaking tick-host-pathogen-environment cycles. Dr. Nadolny has co-authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications and is interested in the intersection of ecology and public health.In this episode, we discuss the types of diseases that can be transmitted to military personnel (and anyone else) through ticks, how those diseases work, where and when the risk is greatest, and what you can do to protect yourself. To visit the MilTICK site, which you can use to understand the risk of tick-borne disease at your military installation and submit ticks for testing, go here:https://ph.health.mil/topics/entomology/kits/Pages/HumanTickTestKitProgram.aspxThere are also many civilian labs where you can submit a tick for testing at a low cost. For example:Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab: https://www.ticklab.org/Old Dominion University, Virginia: https://sites.wp.odu.edu/tick-team/what-we-do/tick-testing/sending-us-your-ticks/Ticknology: https://www.ticknology.org/order-testTimestamps:00:23 Introduction to Dr. Robyn Nadolny01:48 What are the Most Common Diseases Spread by Ticks?03:24 Lesser Known Tick-Spread Diseases07:19 Alpha Gal: It's Not Just Beef Off the Table 09:27 The Implications of Lyme Disease14:16 How Does the Body React After Multiple Tick Bites?16:06 Rates of These Diseases 18:21 What Terrain Do Ticks Prefer? 21:31 What Time of Year are Ticks the Worst?23:13 Tick Life Cycles  27:56 Soldiers Protecting Themselves from Ticks in the Field33:19 Dealing with a Tick Bite in the Field37:41 Prevalence of Diseases in Ticks42:34 Vaccines for Tick-Borne Diseases for Pets and People45:45 Treated Clothing and Repellents48:21 OutroSend us a message

The ROTC instructor killed by a gunman on ODU's campus is laid to rest… State officials roll out the new Vape Enforcement Act… Augusta County officials hold a cornerstone ceremony at the new courthouse….

It turns out that the islamic terrorist who killed at ODU isn't the only ISIS terrorist receiving a lenient sentence and put back on the streets of America. Why are TERRORISTS getting tried in cfederal courts and receiving light sentneces? These aren't white collar criminals convicted of stealing retirement accounts. They're terrorists plotting the mass murders of Americans in the name of Allah! Meanwhile, the left had a hysterical reaction to Trump's responsee to the Japanese reporter who confrinted Trump for not warning Japan before the beginning of Operation Epic Fury. If only they had as much outrage over the killing of Americans at the hands of Iran. What is the "boob tax" and what does it have to do with Airlines?

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they discuss Thursday's terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, reports that Iran may be activating sleeper cells in the U.S., and CNN's bizarre fumbling of the facts on last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City.First, they share their Friday discussion of the terrorist attacks at a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. They highlight the impressive responses of synagogue security and the ROTC cadets, who prevented the respective attacks from being much deadlier. They also fume that the Virginia terrorist was let out of prison early after being convicted of providing material support to ISIS and permitted to stay in the U.S.Next, they react to U.S. intelligence reports, which claim we intercepted encrypted messages designed to activate Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. How significant is this threat? And wouldn't now be a good time to fund the Department of Homeland Security?Then, they pull their hair out over CNN fmiserably failing to get the facts straight about last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City. Even though the suspects  pledged allegiance to ISIS, CNN portrayed then as two teenagers who just happened to end up throwing bombs at demonstrators they didn't like.Finally, in the chaser of the week, they highlight Washington state Democrats passing a 9.9 percent income tax on households grossing more than a million dollars per year. While the left may relish soaking the rich, there may be some unintended consequences for people of all political stripes.New episodes every weekday. 

In this episode of the Jeffrey and Brian Show (Episode 326), the hosts discussed current events including the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, with particular focus on military operations, oil shipping disruptions, and international reactions. They covered several domestic news items including a shooting at ODU by a convicted ISIS member, various state-level political developments, and educational issues regarding reading scores following COVID. The conversation also touched on recent incidents involving terrorism, including attacks in New York and Oslo, as well as debates around immigration policy and voting rights. Throughout the discussion, Jeffrey and Brian analyzed media coverage and political responses to these events, particularly criticizing what they viewed as biased reporting from certain news outlets.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine the Islamist terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, the local Virginia prosecutor who wants to blame the attack on guns, and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke predicting the end of real elections and the start of unchecked fascism unless Democrats win the midterms.First, they walk through the terrorist attacks targeting Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Virginia. Both incidents appear to be clear cases of Islamist terrorism, bringing the total to at least four similar attacks in less than two weeks. The Virginia suspect previously served prison time for providing material support to ISIS but was released early and allowed to remain in the United States.Next, they rip Norfolk, Virginia, prosecutor Ramin Fatehi, who has jurisdiction over the Old Dominion case, for blaming the “cult of gun absolutism” rather than the extremist ideology the shooter openly expressed before the attack. Jim hammers Fatehi for attempting to shift the narrative and explains how the terrorist violated multiple existing laws at every step leading up to the shooting.Finally, they examine extreme rhetoric in American politics as Beto O'Rourke claims the upcoming midterm elections are the last barrier between freedom and endless authoritarian rule. Jim and Greg excoriate O'Rourke for using the kind of reckless political language that has motivated violence in the past.Please visit our great sponsors:Unlock your healthiest skin by targeting visible aging signs at https://Oneskin.co/3ML with code 3ML for 15% off.Make this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

xAttack on Michigan Synagogue. Tragedy and Heroism at ODU's ROTC. Bombing Civilians is Bad. Trump Drops Russian Oil Sanctions. UFO General Missing. RIP Rick Bolanos. Mid-East F1 Cancelled. American caskets are coming home again. In this fierce, fiery Friday episode, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the escalating “Iran overflow” war, the KC‑135 crash that killed six American service members, the growing drumbeat of troop movements into the Middle East, and the total failure of Congress to do its job on questions of war and peace. He calls out Trump's illegal “no quarter” rhetoric, Pete Hegseth's authoritarian war on the press, ICE's abuses at home, and the dangerous normalization of UFC “Freedom Fights 250” on the White House lawn—while reminding listeners why if you're not angry, you're not paying attention.​ Then Medal of Freedom recipient, Air Force veteran, and TAPS founder Bonnie Carroll returns to go deeper on what really happens when someone is killed in action, in training, in terror attacks at home—or lost to suicide. Paul and Bonnie unpack the brutal realities of casualty notifications, the lifelong journey for surviving families, and the heroic work TAPS is doing right now for the loved ones of those lost in Iran, Iraq, Old Dominion, Michigan, and beyond—and how you can help.

//The Wire//2300Z March 13, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TERROR ATTACKS CONTINUE IN THE AMERICAN HOMELAND. WAR CONTINUES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CRASHES IN IRAQ, NO SURVIVORS REPORTED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Persian Gulf: Last night CENTCOM reported the loss of one KC-135 Stratotanker, which crashed in western Iraq. Rescue operations were conducted immediately, however all six crew members have been confirmed deceased. The incident occurred as a result of a mid-air collision, which involved another KC-135 aircraft that was also damaged.Strait of Hormuz: This morning another commercial vessel was struck while attempting to transit the Strait, which resulted in catastrophic damage to the vessel. The crew abandoned ship, and several crew members remain missing.Turkey: Another ballistic missile was intercepted overnight, as Iranian forces continue to target Incirlik Airbase. This is the third such interception since the war began.UAE: Overnight drone attacks continued to strike Dubai, with the International Financial Center being struck by a Shahed drone yesterday evening.Analyst Comment: Today was also the third day in a row that the UAE has changed their reporting criteria. Social media reports no longer list the total number of drones that impact within their country, with the daily rollup reports instead stating the number of drones and missiles that were "dealt with". Due to the video confirmation of drones impacting within Dubai overnight, these reports are now openly misleading, as the number of successful Iranian strikes remains unreported.-HomeFront-Michigan: Yesterday afternoon a vehicle ramming and small arms attack was reported at Temple Israel, one of the largest synagogues in Michigan. The attack began as a vehicle ramming attack targeting the main entrance to the facility. After the suspect breached the entrance, he exited the vehicle and was engaged by security personnel on site, who neutralized the attacker. Initial reports claim that the suspect also had explosives inside his vehicle, however authorities have not confirmed this yet as the vehicle caught fire during the incident and burned down a substantial portion of the structure, including the suspect. No one but the attacker was killed during the attack.Analyst Comment: The suspect in this case has been identified as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a naturalized US Citizen originally from Lebanon. Some sources claim that he conducted the attack due to to his family being killed in an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in Beirut yesterday, however these claims cannot be independently verified at this time. Either way, the suspect attacked the 12,000-member synagogue on a Thursday afternoon when almost no one was at the facility, which is an indicator that the terrorist did not have much time to plan the attack. More information is expected later on, as forensic analysis of the remains and vehicle debris is conducted.Virginia: Yesterday a mass shooting was reported at Old Dominion University after a terrorist entered a classroom and began targeting students. Local authorities state that a lone gunman entered an ROTC classroom at ODU shortly before 11:00am yesterday morning, first shooting the instructor, who has been identified as LTC Brandon Shah. Immediately after the first shots were fired, the cadets in the classroom mounted a counterattack, using violence of action to subdue the attacker. At some point during the attack one cadet produced a pocket knife which was subsequently utilized in stabbing the attacker to death. The assailant was found dead by police at the scene after being stabbed 22x times.Analyst Comment: The suspect in this case has been identified as Mohamad Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone and former National Guard soldier who had previously been convicted of attemp

In today's episode of The Alan Sanders Show, we dive into the alarming surge of domestic terror attacks across the US in just the last two weeks, including the Austin mass shooting, a New York nail bomb attempt, the vehicle-ramming at a Michigan synagogue, and the ODU shooting. We examine how Democrats continue to block critical DHS funding bills, prolonging a partial shutdown that hampers the prevention of these terror attacks along with TSA operations at a time when America needs maximum readiness. Plus, updates on UK Labour's political struggles putting Brits last, and Cuba's dictator tells his nation they are working with the US, to include allowing the FBI to setup in the country. Don't miss this hard-hitting analysis. Ep. 049 delivers the facts you won't hear elsewhere. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

A massive Navy plane was spotted circling over Fresno Tuesday night, just days after an unmarked Boeing plane was seen, leaving many wondering what it was doing in the area. Many residents say they heard it before they saw it. Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, stormed into a classroom inside ODU’s Constant Hall and asked if it was an ROTC class. When someone confirmed that it was, he launched the suspected terror attack, shooting the professor several times, law enforcement sources said. A heroic ROTC cadet at the Virginia school jumped into action to prevent more carnage, stabbing Jalloh to death after the crazed suspect gunned down the class instructor.

Jeff & Shannon expose massive wins in Operation Epic Fury as Iran crumbles, Russia begs for talks, Trump holds firm—plus explosive FBI surveillance revelations, Epstein-Rothschild ties confirmed, ODU shooting timing, and MSM fake news shredded. Tune in at Rumble, YouTube, X and Red State Talk Radio now! Patriots, wake up and lock in—this is war on the deep state and foreign threats! @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove rip through the chaos in **S8E46 “Iran on Fire: Russia Begs for Mercy Trump Holds the Line”**, spotlighting Operation Epic Fury's devastating precision strikes that have hammered over 5,000–6,000 targets in Iran, obliterating 90+ vessels including 60+ ships and 30+ mine layers, dismantling IRGC command centers, ballistic missile sites, drone factories, and more with overwhelming U.S. airpower superiority—B-1s, B-2s, F-35s, and beyond—delivering clean, efficient results far from past Middle East quagmires. Russia's frantic calls for the U.S. and Israel to halt operations and negotiate reveal their desperation as Iran's regime reels, leadership possibly compromised, and proxies neutralized—Trump refuses to back down, demanding total resolution on America's terms. The duo slams establishment media's spin, from ABC News peddling unverified Iranian threats to California that Karoline Leavitt swiftly called out as false alarmism, to historical CNN staging tactics designed to manufacture fear. Explosive updates hit hard: FBI whistleblower revelations expose four counterintelligence ops—Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Plasmic Echo, Arctic Frost—surveilling over 1,200 Trump associates from 2016-2025, treating patriots like foreign spies and violating rights under color of law, with Kash Patel building cases and prepping declassifications. Epstein's accountant confirms Rothschilds among key elite clients paying the financier, validating long-documented financial networks with no Trump ties. Breaking news interrupts with the Old Dominion University shooting—gunman dead, two injured—eerily timed amid these damning FBI drops, raising questions about distraction patterns. From voter roll cleanups removing non-citizens to Britain's ejection of hereditary nobles after centuries, the old guard crumbles. Fear is their weapon—reject it, think independently—the truth is learned, never told; the constitution is your weapon. Tune in at noon-0-five Eastern LIVE to stand with Trump!

Deacon Dave and Layperson Lisa provide an update on the construction progress at their meeting space, focusing on the HVAC installation and insulation work (0:32). They use the progress of the building as a metaphor for spiritual growth, explaining how the flow of grace can be hindered by sin, much like pipes can get clogged (1:01).Key updates and discussions include:HVAC and Insulation (0:20-0:49): They show the large and small conduits for the HVAC system and discuss putting up more insulation and wood on the back of the building.Construction Timeline (2:19-2:40): They mention that electricians were also on site and anticipate the building to be finished by summer, hoping for a blessing and fundraiser on November 21st, when Bishop Nest will be present.Spiritual Parallels (1:01-2:11, 4:01-4:52): Dave and Lisa connect the physical construction to spiritual concepts, likening God to an "air handler" supplying grace and sin to "clogged pipes" or "scarves" that strangle spiritual life.Patience and Virtue (5:30-6:37): They discuss patience as a virtue, noting that it's related to other virtues like docility, meekness, humility, mortification, and abandonment.Upcoming Events (6:39-8:43): They promote a women's Cursillo in March, a Divine Mercy retreat, and mention that confirmation groups, pastoral councils, and Catholic campus ministries frequently use their retreat center. ODU students are also coming for service during spring break.
