Merritt-resident Todd Spangler caught the giant trout on February 9, 2022, near the mouth of the Neuse River in Pamlico County, located on the state’s east coast, Field & Stream reported. The fish surpassed the previous state record for a speckled trout—a fish weighing 12 pounds, 4 ounces that was caught in 1961 at Wrightsville Beach. Spangler told Field & Stream that the record-breaking trout was his first catch of the day....

The Heels enter the matchup 5-0 and ranked No. 7 in the latest AP Poll. While North Carolina lost several veteran players from last year’s team, the addition of freshman Nassir Little has helped fill that void. MORE: Watch Texas-North Carolina live and on demand with fuboTV (7-day free trial) Texas is 4-0 under coach Shaka Smart, who is in his fourth year at the helm in Austin, Texas.

Stick had three touchdown runs and threw for two more scores and the Bison beat Eastern Washington 38-24 on Saturday for their record seventh FCS title, the fourth in five years with Klieman as head coach before he takes over at Kansas State. “It was a special journey — 15-0, end it with a national championship. … The story’s complete,” said Klieman, 69-6 as head coach and part of all of those titles, three as defensive coordinator....

The comments by Chang Ung, Pyongyang’s representative to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), come a day after the North and South agreed to hold rare talks next week and follow Seoul and Washington’s announcement that they would postpone joint military exercises that rile North Korea. The Japanese news agency said Chang made the brief comment to reporters during a stopover at Beijing’s international airport. Kyodo said Chang was believed to be travelling to Switzerland, where the IOC is based, quoting unnamed sources as saying the trip may be aimed at meeting the committee to discuss the North’s potential participation in the Games at Pyeongchang....

The unidentified North Korean ministry official called the alliance an “extremely” dangerous move that would destroy the security balance in the Asia-Pacific. The official said it would set off a nuclear arms race. The official also threatened countermeasures should the deal become a security concern for the recluse nation. “The prevailing situation shows once again that bolstering the capabilities for national defense from a long-term perspective should not be slackened even a bit in order to cope with the ever-changing international security environment,” the Korean Central News Agency quoted the official as saying....

“We will make them realize by the minute what a dangerous choice they made and what a serious security crisis they will face because of their wrong choice,” said Kim Yong Chol, a senior ruling party official who handles affairs with South Korea. He added that South Korea blew its chance for “alliances with outsiders, not harmony with compatriots, escalation of tension, not détente, and confrontation, not improved relations.”...

Recent Russian military supply difficulties have forced Moscow to purchase millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea, according to a New York Times report citing declassified U.S. intelligence this month. North Korea has openly sided with Russia during the war, being the only country besides Syria and Russia to officially recognize the independence of the pro-Russian breakaway “republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk. On Wednesday, an official described as the “vice director general of the General Bureau of Equipment of the Ministry of National Defence” for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) issued a statement condemning any suggestion that Russia was being sent North Korean arms as a U....

The Norway national women’s handball team didn’t particularly appreciate a dress code their team was required to follow for the recent European Beach Handball Championships. They didn’t agree with wearing bikini bottoms, but instead wore something that resembled biker shorts. The players were then chastised and fined. The championships were held in Varna, Bulgaria, located on the western shores of the Black Sea. Norway was to play Hungary in a match....

NoSQL Emerged From a Need Data Storage: The world’s stored digital data is measured in exabytes. An exabyte is equal to one billion gigabytes (GB) of data. According to Internet.com, the amount of stored data added in 2006 was 161 exabytes. Just 4 years later in 2010, the amount of data stored will be almost 1,000 ExaBytes which is an increase of over 500%. In other words, there is a lot of data being stored in the world and its just going to continue growing....

According to a post on NeoGAF, Rayark, the mobile developer behind Voez, says that the game can only be played in “mobile mode.” Moreover, Voez requires players to use the touchscreen as “button operation is not available.” That’s perhaps good news for those who need a bit more time getting used to the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers, which sit on either side of the tablet, but it’s not great news for sticky-fingered players who don’t fancy tapping at a screen....

Researchers from Australia and the United Kingdom conducted a study in mice that suggests inadequate amounts of dietary vitamin D may impair muscle function. The study will be published in the Journal of Endocrinology in May. Why We Need Vitamin D “Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining skeletal health and even body composition,” Heather Hanks, MS, a nutritionist in Michigan, tells Verywell. “However, vitamin D is needed for so much more than this....

I asked myself that question, somewhere between Van’s Pig Stand in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. It was late. Interstate 40 was torn up by construction, and it was raining in that distinctive Southern way where the raindrops simply appear in the envelope of humidity, condensing on the inside of the windshield and curling the pages of the road map. Mentally, I checked off the things I was giving up by going to New York the long way....

What’s the big deal about the Apple Music Store? Don’t think of it as a “down-load service” but a terrific online destination–a well-designed, easily navigable Web site that welcomes browsing (hear a high-quality sample of every one of the 200,000 songs), offers special items (unreleased cuts by Bob Dylan and Eminem) and, when you decide you want a song, instantly sends it to you with a single click. In other words, it’s the first legal service that doesn’t bludgeon you with what you can’t do (and generally regards you with all the trust that Winona Ryder would receive on a return visit to Saks), but celebrates what you can do....

Tottenham were thrashed 7-2 at home to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday and followed up that defeat with another dismal outing at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, going down 3-0. Spurs ended last season in the Champions League final but were sixth in the Premier League at full-time against Brighton, having played a game more than the rest of the top half. Pressure is building on manager Pochettino, who has not won a trophy with the club, yet Poyet believes it would be best for all involved if he is given the opportunity to turn Tottenham’s fortunes around....

Created as part of a 48-hour theme-based game development competition, Minicraft appeared to be a spiritual successor to Minecraft, but really was its own clever, small-scale creation. Also, as it turns out, Notch isn’t done with Minicraft; he actually plans to turn this into something substantial. According to Notch, he has renamed the game MiniTale, and based on the game’s official sites, he plans on revealing more about the game soon....

It’s the second meeting between coaches Brian Kelly and Mark Richt, and a College Football Playoff berth could be on the line. It’s the big stage on ABC that will bring all those memories flooding back: “Catholics vs. Convicts’;” Lou Holtz vs. Jimmy Johnson; “The U;” “Wake up the echoes.” MORE: We see ‘U,’ Miami Notre Dame leads the all-time series 17-7-1, a series best remembered for all those heated ’80s showdowns....

Los Blancos had scraped past Schalke despite an embarrassing 4-3 defeat at home to the German side in the last 16. They edged out 10-man Atletico with a sole strike in 180 minutes of last-eight football. And they have now been beaten in the semifinals after twice failing to overcome Juventus. It is difficult to conclude that they deserved better. MORE: Juve big underdog vs. Barca in final | Suarez vs....

A voice echoed through a bullhorn as Ohio State’s football team conducted a practice closed to media. Head coach Urban Meyer, placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday, wasn’t present. A special independent board formed by the Ohio State University Board of Trustees was beginning its investigation. It seemed due process would clear up whether Meyer knew about former assistant coach Zach Smith’s history of domestic violence — specifically, an incident in 2015....

How did Bianca Belair win the match? The match saw a total of 18 female Superstars participating in the battle royal in a chance to become the No. 1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship. Latest signee Mercedes Martinez also made her NXT debut in the match and we also saw appearances from other Performance Center recruits such as Indi Hartwell, Catalina, and Jessi Kamea. Tegan Nox, who we last saw at NXT TakeOver: WarGames II where she was unable to compete in the women’s WarGames match after she was taken out by her former best friend Dakota Kai also made her return on tonight’s battle royal match....

Fultz, the No. 1 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, went down with an ankle injury in the 76ers’ Summer League game against the Warriors on Saturday. He was unable to put any weight on it as he was helped off the court.
