Two Oklahoma Sooners nominated to AFCA Good Works Team
Oklahoma Sooners fourth-year head coach Brent Venables and senior defensive back Robert Spears-Jenning were named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team watch list on Thursday. It's the second preseason off-field recognition for Spears-Jennings, who was also named to the watch list for the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy in July. According to the AFCA, "The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team was established in 1992 by the College Football Association, recognizing the extra efforts made by college football players and student support staff off the field. AFCA became the governing body of the award in 1997 and continues to honor college football players who go the extra mile for those in need. Allstate worked to present the award starting with the 2008 season." The SEC leads the way among all conferences with 89 selections since 1992. Venables was hired as OU's head coach in December of 2021 and has displayed a strong commitment to developing his players in Norman on and off the field. He's had a major focus on players excelling in the classroom and preparing them for life after college and after football. Venables also established the S.O.U.L. Mission program when he came to Oklahoma, and it is currently led by Caleb Kelly, Vince Carter, and Lorenda Holston. Spears-Jennings has made an impact on and off the field during his time as a Sooner. He is stepping into a leadership role on OU's defense with the departure of Billy Bowman to the NFL. Spears-Jennings was one of three players selected to represent the program at SEC Media Days last month, and he's looking to build on a solid season in 2024.

Doctor faces dismissal over 'irregularities' in ATK project
Supat Hasuwannakit, director of Saba Yoi Hospital in Songkhla and president of the Rural Doctor Society, says he faces dismissal from government service over alleged irregularities in the procurement of antigen test kits (ATKs) during the Covid-19 pandemic. In a Facebook post, he claimed the Public Health Ministry has ordered over 10 inquiries against him over the past three years, transferred him from Chana Hospital to Saba Yoi Hospital and accused him of being involved in irregularities in the purchase of ATKs. He said the allegations are related to the Rural Doctor Society's Covid-19 testing campaigns in Bangkok using ATKs procured by Chana Hospital. A total of 192,905 people were tested in the campaigns, and 22,451 were found infected, he said. He claimed he was the only one targeted for the investigation despite other hospitals also sourcing ATKs for Covid-19 testing. Dr Supat said he is being targeted before permanent secretary Dr Opas Karnkawinpong retires at the end of September. He said he previously chose to defend himself against the allegations quietly through official channels, but the moves to dismiss him forced him to go public. The ministry formed a panel in May 2023 to probe Dr Supat for alleged purchasing irregularities when he was the director of Chana Hospital in Songkhla.

She said in her 2019 book that she would put "qualified dancer" under the list of qualifications on her CV. Writing in her book, which came out six years ago, Dani wrote about how she went to theatre school at weekends from the age of 2 to 14.

I'd get home and prance around the house." 5 August 3 saw Alex Kingston, 62, revealed Credit: BBC 5 Nitro, 36, of TV's Gladiators was unmasked on June 15 Credit: BBC
