COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose launched a bid for the U.S. Senate on Monday, describing himself as a “battle-tested” conservative who represents the Republican Party’s best chance to unseat third-term Democrat Sherrod Brown next year and win back the closely divided chamber. “To be blunt, we’ve got a country to save,” LaRose said in an interview with The Associated Press. “In the days ahead, the people of Ohio should ask themselves: What is Frank LaRose really doing for us?” Reeves Oyster, Brown’s campaign spokesperson, said in a statement. Voters first sent Brown to the U.S. Senate in 2007 after 14 years as a congressman, two terms as secretary of state and eight years as a state representative. Voters twice elected Trump by wide margins and, outside the state Supreme Court, Brown is the only Democrat to win election statewide since 2006.

FooteBahl said: This may very well be a dumb question, but he was the first coach AND GM? Darryl Sutter was both head coach and GM in Calgary from like 2002-2006. He stayed on as GM, but stepped down as head coach after a few years. Then he hired Mike Keenan to replace him as head coach and eventually his brother Brent after he left here.Jacques Martin was also both GM and head coach for the Panthers in the 2000's. He did let go of Hynes, but did not make himself head coach.I think the dual GM/head coach position was actually much more common in the 70's and 80's though.

In the classic economic model, the perfect outcome for the rapid growth of a platform is to try to create a network effect. Typically, the greater the number of buyers, sellers, or users, the greater the network effect. You and your company want to profit, and so you pay/contribute/donate something hoping to get something back of greater value. Software and the network effect. If this is so obvious, why is it so often difficult to convince the other guy of the value of cooperation?

It’s also fundamentally about how digital advertising works and who it benefits. Google and Facebook don’t compete directly with journalism, they capitalize on it through the digital advertising marketplaces that they own and operate.

Antitrust enforcers in other jurisdictions believe that Meta and Google have misled publishers as they built their monopolies.
