Sophomore Nebraska junior college transfer Niko Cooper has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
The Memphis native came to NU by way of Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College, and leaves the program after just one season.
The 6-foot-5, 225 pound Cooper saw action in seven games last season, all on special teams. He made three tackles, including two in the Huskers win over Penn State.
Cooper found himself at a position where Nebraska returns their top five players from a year ago in senior JoJo Domann, junior Caleb Tannor, sophomore Garrett Nelson, junior Pheldarious Payne and junior Damian Jackson.
For Cooper to get on the field at NU in 2021 he was going to have to jump multiple players who saw action over him a year ago.
Also noteworthy: Mildly noteworthy was that Warne saved the life of Abraham Fucking Lincoln, and possibly the Union itself. In 1861, the Philadelphia, Wilmington And Baltimore Railroad hired the Pinkertons to investigate secessionists threatening the railroad. Pinkerton sent five agents, Warne among them. At this point, she had discovered aliases that weren’t her own last name, and under the guise of a Southern belle alternately named Mrs. Cherry or Mrs. M. Barley, she infiltrated pro-secession social gatherings and discovered that the plot wasn’t only against the railroad but also one of its passengers President-elect Lincoln.
Warne was able to uncover key details about the plot, which involved Lincoln’s journey from his home of Springfield, Illinois, to Washington, D.C., for the inauguration. All southbound trains heading into D.C. made a transfer in Baltimore, which involved moving between the Calvert Street and Camden Street stations, a mile’s journey by carriage. Secess

When she was at her lowest, before becoming the sort of person who has the ear and admiration of premiers and governors, Emma Lee worked at a petrol station. It was 2011. She was 38. Sheâd âcrashed and burnedâ, as she describes it, losing her first marriage, her money, her mojo. After a successful career as an archaeologist, and a manager at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, her whole world had shrunk to the grey concrete forecourt at Woolworths Caltex in her home town of Wynyard, on Tasmaniaâs north-west coast. For 18 months she healed, slowly rebuilding herself and, from behind the kiosk counter, finding the inspiration for a new approach to Aboriginal rights â a method that would, only four years later, start to bear fruit with then Tasmanian premier, Will Hodgman.

The Royal Society of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery have formally apologised to Tasmania s Aboriginal community over the mistreatment and theft of cultural artefacts.
Monday s apology was part of the return of 14,000-year-old petroglyphs to their original site at Preminghana, in the state s north-west.
The petroglyph slabs were taken from Preminghana in the 1960s, and given to TMAG in Hobart and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Galley in Launceston.
The pieces that were taken to Hobart were displayed at the TMAG from 1967 until 2005. They have since been kept in storage.
The petroglyphs were removed in 1962 from Preminghana, and will be returned to the site in early March 2021.
