PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Baylor fell 73-65 to Indiana in the semifinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis on Sunday afternoon. The No. 18 Bears fell into a big hole early in the game after a 17-0 run by the Hoosiers but cut the lead to four points at halftime and came all the back to tie things up with under five minutes to play. Baylor made four of its final 13 shots and made just 33.3% of their shots, matching a season low. “I thought we fought,” Baylor head coach Nicki Collen said. “We came back and had a chance in the third quarter, we had it tied with a chance to take the lead. Needed to get over the hump and needed to and we didn't shoot the ball well down the stretch.” Yaya Felder led Baylor in scoring for the first time this season, finishing with 20 points and five 3-pointers, her most in a Baylor uniform. It was the 50th game with 10 or more points of her career, which began at Ohio. Jada Walker scored 15 points and grabbed six rebounds, while Aaronette Vonleh had her third double-digit performance at Baylor, scoring 11 points and finishing with eight rebounds against the Hoosiers. Darianna Littlepage-Buggs was held to the lowest output of the season, scoring five points and grabbing eight rebounds before fouling out after 20 minutes. Bella Fontleroy finished with seven points, while Sarah Andrews made just one of her nine shots and was held to three points, but led the Bears with five assists. Indiana was led by junior guard Shay Ciezki, who poured in a career-high 34 points and made four 3-pointers for the Hoosiers. “Shay was incredible all night long,” Collen said. “She just buried us.” It was the first-ever loss for Baylor outside the United States, and head coach Nicki Collen fell to 4-1 in games on foreign soil. The Bears face Villanova in the third-place game Monday at 1:30 p.m. “We in some ways overcame the slow start,” Collen said. “When you look at the difference in the score it was our first quarter and our fouls shooting. It was a physical game on both sides. It was a tough game for the officials to call because there was a lot of reaching and grabbing.” Be the first to knowLUQUE, Paraguay — Sake is perhaps more Japanese than the world-famous sushi. It's brewed in centuries-old mountaintop warehouses, savored in the country’s pub-like izakayas, poured during weddings and served slightly chilled for special toasts. The smooth rice wine that plays a crucial role in Japan's culinary traditions was enshrined on Wednesday by UNESCO on its list of the “intangible cultural heritage of humanity." At a meeting in Luque, Paraguay, members of UNESCO’s committee for safeguarding humanity's cultural heritage voted to recognize 45 cultural practices and products around the world, including Brazilian white cheese, Caribbean cassava bread and Palestinian olive oil soap. Unlike UNESCO’s World Heritage List, which includes sites considered important to humanity like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Intangible Cultural Heritage designation names products and practices of different cultures that are deserving of recognition. Japan's Takehiro Kano, ambassador to UNESCO, reacts after the traditional Japanese brewing of sake was officially named to UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage of humanity" list during a World Heritage Convention in Asuncion, Paraguay on Wednesday. A Japanese delegation welcomed the announcement in Luque. “Sake is considered a divine gift and is essential for social and cultural events in Japan,” Kano Takehiro, the Japanese ambassador to UNESCO, told The Associated Press. The basic ingredients of sake are few: rice, water, yeast and koji, a rice mold that breaks down the starches into fermentable sugars like malting does in beer production. The whole two-month process of steaming, stirring, fermenting and pressing can be grueling. The rice — which wields tremendous marketing power as part of Japan's broader cultural identity — is key to the alcoholic brew. For a product to be categorized Japanese sake, the rice must be Japanese. Japanese sake, a nominee for UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage of humanity" list, are displayed on Japan's delegation table, during a UNESCO World Heritage Convention in Asuncion, Paraguay, on Wednesday. The UNESCO recognition, the delegation said, captured more than the craft knowledge of making high-quality sake. It also honored a tradition dating back some 1,000 years — sake makes a cameo in Japan’s famous 11th century novel, “The Tale of Genji,” as the drink of choice in the refined Heian court. Now, officials hope to restore sake's image as Japan's premier alcoholic drink even as the younger drinkers in the country switch to imported wine or domestic beer and whiskey. Japanese breweries also expressed hope the listing could give a lift to the country's export economy as the popularity of sake booms around the world and in the United States amid heightened interest in Japanese cuisine. “I hope that this will also be an opportunity for Japanese people to take another look at sake, shochu and awamori, which are the essence of their culture," Hitoshi Utsunomiya, director of the trade group Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association, said in Tokyo. "I would like them to try it even once and see what it tastes like,” he said. Sake exports, mostly to the U.S. and China, now rake in over $265 million a year, according to the association. Japan's Takehiro Kano, ambassador to UNESCO, reacts as the traditional Japanese brewing of sake was named to UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage of humanity" list during a World Heritage Convention in Asuncion, Paraguay on Wednesday. Japan's delegation appeared ready to celebrate Wednesday — in classic Japanese style. After the announcement, Takehiro raised a cypress box full of sake to toast the alcoholic brew and cultural rite. “It means a lot to Japan and to the Japanese,” he said of the UNESCO designation. "This will help to renew interest in traditional sake elaboration.” In Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he was “delighted” by UNESCO's recognition of traditional sake-making techniques, and he congratulated those dedicated to preserving and promoting the tradition. The crisp autumn air ushers in more than just pumpkin spice latte season. Consider cozying up inside with friends for a wine tasting and sharing delicious food and drinks with more complex flavors than cinnamon and sugar. Perhaps once thought of as stuffy affairs only for wine connoisseurs, today a tasting can be as casual as pouring a few bottles while doing another activity—say, bar games like darts or art activities like painting. The tasting can also be more traditional, especially if held at a winery or local wine shop, which is a great way to learn about what wines you might like to later serve at home. To host the ultimate wine tasting, it pays to do some R&D. One of the best aspects of hosting a wine tasting at home is that you get to establish the mood, tone, and guest list for the gathering—you can't pick a playlist when you sample wines at a bar or wine shop or make the dress code loungewear. So whether the mood is serious or playful, sophisticated or laid-back, the key to a successful tasting is enjoying and appreciating the wine and having fun with friends and family. Of course, there are a few other things to figure out along the way. Peerspace put together a few tips for hosting your wine-tasting party. A tasting party is all about sampling different wines and evaluating and hopefully enjoying them—and there are a variety of ways to do that. Would you like to host a playful gathering where each guest brings a mystery bottle of wine within a certain price range—a BYOB affair? Or would it be better to have more control over which wines are featured by curating and supplying all the wines as a host? This decision sets the tone—a tasting where guests contribute wine can be a bit of a free-for-all, whereas one where you select wines you supply allows guests to sit back and simply enjoy. And you don't have to break the bank to buy excellent wines—there are lots of wine experts ready to share their affordable picks. How much folks know about wine differs—and that's a good thing. Tastings are group learning experiences. Expertise isn't necessary to host or attend a tasting, but it is helpful to think about what will keep guests comfortable and having fun. Decide whether the vibe will be relaxed and laid-back, like friends sipping wine fireside, or more upbeat and formal. Think about elements like the atmosphere and the location, and consider whether folks will be seated or standing. Will you have a spirited playlist (couldn't resist) or live music? Do you want an expert to introduce each wine, or will you be that expert? Consider how guests will share their thoughts on what they are tasting. Do you want to just talk about them or do something more organized, like take notes or give ratings? Then supply notebooks or notecards and pencils, with categories or questions established ahead of time—all of which can reflect your evening's tone as well. Picking a theme is essential to curating the selection of wines—it's the organizing principle behind your selections. Otherwise, your tasting might as well be just walking down the wine aisle at the grocery store and taking sips from random bottles. There's too much wine out there not to be strategic about this. Plus, a theme helps you to tell the story of each wine better—it's the plot line of the night, if you will. Common themes are types of wine, regions they are from, or even price points—really, one can get as creative as they wish. For inspiration, check out local wine shops and see what they do for tastings. Often, they will follow seasonality and group wines in novel ways for their own in-house tastings. The bottom line is, however you do it, hosting the ultimate wine tasting should be fun. Wine can feel intimidating to many people, but most wine experts are passionate, inspired folks who want to share what they know and help you find wines you like. So visit your local wine store or winemaker and ask questions. There are good guides specifically concerning how to taste wine. Dig a little, taste a lot, and have fun. It's all research for your next ultimate wine tasting. Story editing by Carren Jao. Additional editing by Kelly Glass. Copy editing by Kristen Wegrzyn. Photo selection by Lacy Kerrick.

Whatever the case, an RSVP is essential because not only do you need to plan the setup of the space, but you must also make sure there's enough wine for everyone to taste, including each of the wines featured. There's nothing worse than a tasting that runs dry! The math to determine how much wine you need considers the size of the tasting pours—a full glass of wine at a restaurant is usually around 5 ounces, which yields around five glasses of wine from a standard bottle. For tastings, you'll want to do less, depending on how many wines you are featuring—say, 2 ounces if you'll be trying a lot of different wines. Experts agree, having more wine than you need is always a good idea—that way you can send guests home with a bottle should there be a prize at the end of the night. Don't let food be an afterthought for the festivities—after all, food can enhance particular qualities of wine and vice versa. There are many rules around what foods to pair with which wines, but consider this simple advice from Alder Yarrow's Vinography : "Stick with eating good food and drinking good wine." Since the focus is on the wines, allow the drinks to determine what food makes sense, but don't overthink it. Food is a supporting character here—at the very least, guests will need something to soak up all the alcohol (unless you are spitting it out).

Here’s 5 recipes you’ll want to tryThe bill Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed that requires students in K-12 schools to use single-sex facilities — such as bathrooms and locker rooms — that correspond with their biological sex is fundamentally about protecting women and girls, Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted (R) said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday . Husted noted that Ohio is now one of several states that “says in our primary and secondary schools, in our colleges and universities, that you need to go to the bathroom that reflects your gender as you were born with, you know, males and females.” “I mean, this is something, as you said, it’s common sense. It’s kind of hard to believe. If you would have literally said to me ten years ago that we’ll need to pass a law saying that boys go to boys’ bathrooms and girls go to girls’ bathrooms, that would have been like, ‘Well, what in the world? Why would we need to do that?'” he said, explaining that it is now a reality because they have had situations where men have gone into women’s locker rooms. “We have the situation with these — some school building bathrooms where boys and girls go to the same bathroom, for teenagers and even younger in our schools. And we’ve said, look, we got to clear out this nonsense. It’s hard to believe that the adults in charge can’t do it, but we’ll now make it a law that you have to have, you know, gender-designated bathrooms for boys and girls. It’s common sense,” Husted said, stressing that this is about protecting women and girls. “It’s about their privacy, their safety. You certainly don’t want to have in a public setting a restroom that a 30-year-old man can go into the same restroom as 12-year-old girls. That defies logic that we would have a situation like that. It defies logic that a boy could go into a girl’s locker room. And so now we have laws against it,” he continued. He made it clear that this is not about “transgender rights,” but about “protecting the privacy and creating safe spaces for women and girls.” Further, he said there are plenty of ways to deal with a transgender need when it comes to single-sex spaces, pointing to the use of family restrooms for either sex as an example. “You can use those, but there is going to be a safe place for a girl to go to the bathroom or use a locker room,” he said. Husted told the audience that this issue first hit home with him when his daughter was in fourth grade. “I remember the first time, when my daughter was in the fourth grade, where they had a counselor come to the school and encourage them to explore their “gender identity,” encourage boys to wear girls’ dresses, and say that there’s no difference between boys and girls,” he recalled. “And I started, that’s when my antenna went up, and I was, ‘What in the world is going on?’ And then the school started to create these gender-neutral bathrooms, which many people in the community were against,” he said, expressing shock that this was not something happening in far-off California or New York, but right at home for him. “It was happening in the heartland, here in the Midwest, in Ohio, and you know, that’s — we started to help educate people on the fact that this shouldn’t happen, that girls, particularly young girls, particularly [when] you’re a teenager,” he said, noting how difficult that time of life is anyway. Once the adults “lost their grip on common sense,” he said, “it was time to have to deal with these issues from a legal point of view, from a legislative point of view.” LISTEN: Breitbart News Saturday airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern.

Eventually, the skirmish came to an end, leaving two Michigan players maced by police amidst the chaos. A new video angle was revealed on social media, showing the key moment that led to the brawl.

If that's the case, then Ohio State could be without some key players if they do happen to make the College Football Playoff despite losing to Michigan in the final game of the regular season. It may take several days for the NCAA to review the incident. Final decisions should be announced well before the upcoming conference title games before the postseason begins. © Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The fight was an ugly way for this game to end. However, the Wolverines walk out of this game with a huge win over a bitter rival. This victory marks the 62nd time Michigan has defeated Ohio State, as they advance to a 62-51-6 all-time record. Saturday's win was the fourth consecutive victory for the Wolverines over the Buckeyes. Michigan will play in an upcoming bowl game before the football season ends. However, with five losses on the record, they are not likely to participate in the postseason. It's currently unclear which bowl game the Wolverines will play in, however, that news will be announced in the coming days. The outlook for this program is looking great despite having a mediocre season. First year head coach Sherrone Moore will have a full offseason to develop his team. Meanwhile, it's expected for five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood to join the roster next season after flipping his commit from the LSU Tigers.
