Washington D.C. is one of America’s most prominent melting pots. High diversity exists in the city’s people, food and other major aspects.

15 minutes north of the U.S. Capitol, high diversity existed in Mizzou men’s basketball’s 88-67 victory over Howard. All nine players who saw the floor scored, and Shawn Phillips II led the way with 16 points.

Howard lingered for a bit, as an 11-2 Bison run brought the home team within nine with 12:31 left in the second half. Bryce Harris and Alex Cotton, who led HU with 27 and 20 points, respectively, were lighting up the Tigers during the surge. But out of a timeout, Jacob Crews knocked down a wide-open 3-pointer, and Mizzou’s lead didn’t dip below double-digits the rest of the way.

Phillps II was the star of the show, dominating the paint on both ends of the floor. He was an efficient 8-of-9 from the floor, as he resembled a black hole around the rim: whenever the ball ended up in his vicinity near the basket, the end result was almost always two points. He also proved to be an explosive lob threat from the dunker’s spot, which Mizzou hasn’t had at the level Phillips was playing at on Monday. He also tallied 11 rebounds to secure a double-double.

The Tigers dominated the Bison on the glass, winning the rebound battle 48-27. Jevon Porter and Mark Mitchell had four offensive rebounds apiece, while T.O. Barrett had three.

Mizzou was efficient from 3-point range, canning 10-of-19 attempts. Similar to the scrimmage against Kansas State, Jayden Stone was MU’s best 3-point shooter, although he was more efficient this time around (10-of-19 from beyond the arc). But the Tigers often opted to attack the basket, with Mark Mitchell and Sebastian Mack being the primary beneficiaries of doing so. Mizzou scored 46 points in the paint, 30 more than Howard.

One major problem area rested in free throws, both in attempts and conversions. Normally elite at getting to the charity stripe, the Tigers attempted just 21 free throws and made only 10 of them. In other problem areas, Mizzou committed 16 turnovers, while Mitchell and Anthony Robinson II picked up four fouls apiece.

The Tigers were far from perfect on Monday night, but they didn’t need to be. They’ll return home to host SEMO on Friday.

Washington Huskies running backs coach Scottie Graham has a very particular strategy on the recruiting trail.

Usually, Graham likes to take two prospects per class: one big, physical prospect that thrives between the tackles, and a speed back that can stretch defenses laterally before turning upfield. However, in the 2027 class, Graham appears to be focusing on adding one high-end prospect who has the makings of a three-down back at the college level, like Dajon Talley-Rhodes.

Talley-Rhodes, a 6-foot, 213-pound product of St. John's College Prep in Washington, D.C., has yet to be ranked by either 247Sports or On3, but has put together an impressive offer sheet. He's received 17 scholarship offers with five other Big Ten teams: Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State, and Wisconsin, all in pursuit.

On film, Talley-Rhodes shows off all the makings of a running back who can handle a heavy workload at the next level. He displays solid breakaway speed when he can get to the edge and strong acceleration, along with impressive contact balance that allows him to slip away even when defenders appear to have him wrapped up, rarely going down on first contact.

Combined with great vision that helps him identify and attack holes quickly, and a solid jump cut that can help him escape a heavy box, Talley-Rhodes could quickly rise up the rankings following his junior season as he continues to grow into his frame.

As the Huskies continue to hunt for their first commit in the 2027 class and expand their recruiting footprint, Talley-Rhodes doesn't seem close to making a decision, but if Graham is able to earn a pledge from the talented ball carrier, he would be an impressive addition for Jedd Fisch's coaching staff.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - A local Commissioner in southeastern North Carolina is pushing for a bill that would make it easier to receive Federal help after a natural disaster.

North Carolina has experienced its fair share of destructive storms in recent years.

Brunswick County Commissioner Frank Williams says the southeastern region is his home, and he says seeing the aftermath of devastating hurricanes is what inspires him to vouch for better preparedness and speedy recovery efforts.

Williams is on a task force created by the National Association of Counties (NACo), which helps strengthen disaster mitigation, response, and recovery capabilities.

Williams and others visited Washington, D.C. this week to speak with leaders about the new Fixing Emergency Management for Americans (FEMA) Act 2025.

The bill would simplify the victim application process across federal agencies, transition the FEMA public assistance program from a reimbursement-based model to a grant-based model, and increase transparency into the status of project approval. It would also allow for interest incurred on loans to be covered by FEMA public assistance.

Williams says applications can add to the hard time storm survivors face when trying to recover.

“One of the things that I observed, you know, during Hurricane Florence was how confusing the process is for individuals,” said Williams. “One thing this act would do is create a single universal disaster application that residents could fill out if they need something from FEMA so they don’t have to guess which application is the right one.”

He explains that this act would help governments to stay afloat when paying for storm damage.

“Now you’ve got counties in the mountains who have to dip into their emergency fund at a dangerous level in order to pay bills from Helene, while they’re waiting on FEMA reimbursement. So one of those counties has $53 million in bills to contractors from Helene damage. Their whole annual budget is $42 million. So that is obviously a massive strain on them,” shares Williams.

It would also help set towns up for success in the aftermath.

“Sometimes local governments have to take out loans to pay hurricane or emergency bills, that interest is not currently reimbursable by FEMA,” said Williams.

Thankfully, he says it’s gaining support from some leaders on the hill.

“Our group from North Carolina met with Senators Tom Tillis, Senator Ted Budd, Congressman Tim Moore, and also Congresswoman Virginia Fox,” shares Williams. “We met with the top staff for Congressman Chuck Edwards, whose entire district, for the most part, was affected by Helene. And Congressman Rouser was not up here this week, but I have communicated with him directly about this.”

He tells me that their voice is being heard and considered.

“The people we met with ask a lot of questions and ask for specifics and follow-up information that the Association of County Commissioners will provide to them on numbers of what counties have had to expend and what they still are owed and that type of thing,” said Williams.

The bill was approved by the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee with a 57 - 3 vote. It will now go before the House.

Williams believes now is the time to take action, before the Peak Atlantic Hurricane Season starts again.

“Obviously you know, to get anything done in Washington is challenging. Hopefully this will, even if it doesn’t pass in its current form, put a spotlight on some of the issues that need to be changed,” said Williams. “I’m hoping that it will come to the full floor of the House and then see some legislation in the Senate that matches.”

The White House may be the most well-known home in Washington D.C., but just blocks away from the presidential mansion sits a lesser known home with its own piece of U.S. history.

The Octagon is an approximately 10,000 square foot home designed by William Thornton, who served as the first architect of the U.S. Capitol. The building sits at the corner of New York Avenue NW and 18th Street NW in Washington, D.C., and was completed in 1801.

Built as a second residence for Virginia's prominent Tayloe family who were friends of George Washington, the more than 200-year old building gets its name from the shape of the main room at the main entrance. Amanda Ferrario is the manager of the house, which now doubles as a museum and event space. It's owned and maintained by the Architects Foundation, the philanthropic partner of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), which purchased the property in 1902.

"The Octagon name comes from this room that we're standing in," Ferrario told CBS News during a tour of the home. "In order to build a circular room, you make the structure out of an octagonal shape and then builds it in with various building materials to give this nice smooth circle," she added.

Ferrario says the epicenter of the house was in the basement, where several enslaved people lived and worked mostly out of sight of the wealthy occupants.

"(The basement) is the absolute epicenter of all of the activity," Ferrario said. "Not only for the enslaved who would live and work here, they were sleeping here. They were working here around the clock, but also in order to operate a house of this caliber," she added.

The Octagon also served as a home for one of America's early first families. President James Madison and his wife, Dolley Madison, temporarily relocated to the home after the British burned down the White House in 1814. Ferrario says the rent for the temporary stay was about $6,000 for their 6-month stay. She also noted the specific reason why the British did not destroy the prominent home.

"But during this time, Mr. Tayloe was quite savvy, and invited a French ambassador to stay here. He knew that if there was a French flag flying, no one's going to touch this house," Ferrario said. "And it was spared, and rightfully so, because in preparation for the British coming. And Dolley Madison did send over a few of her items that meant a lot to her, so that they would be extra protected."

President Madison used the residence to conduct official business including signing the Treaty of Ghent which ended the War of 1812. He signed the document in the home's circular office, Ferrario told CBS News.

Dolley Madison brought cherished items from the White House including curtains, silverware and her pet bird. The former first lady would go on to host what became known as "squeezes" in the first floor sitting room. The events were gatherings of Washington's elite at the time.

Over the years, The Octagon was transformed for different uses including a Catholic school for girls, a federal office building and later as tenement housing.

Its storied past includes spooky and unexplained events reported by guests throughout the building's lifetime. Doors opening, lights flickering and security alarms going off without any explanation have been common occurrences in the building.

"We have an ongoing, I guess it's kind of an ongoing joke with our security monitoring company, that if the security monitors go off on the second or third floor, everything is okay. It's just our friends playing."

Ferrario also says Jackie Kennedy Onassis — then known as Jackie Bouvier — may have had her own chilling experience in the home when she was working for a local newspaper.

"She wrote about a time when she came through to the Octagon and she was standing right where you're standing," Ferrario explained to CBS News. "And she felt the overwhelming presence and a smell of lilac, which is equated to Dolley (Madison). And what she said was, it was like a former first lady looking over the shoulder of a future first lady."

The building is currently undergoing renovations to become a prominent and cohesive part of the new headquarters for the AIA later this year. The house will also play a part in America's 250th Independence celebration after receiving a National Park Service grant for restoration efforts.

Jennifer Calvert Hall serves as the Executive Director of the Architects Foundation. She hopes future visitors gain a sense of reverence for the architecture of America's early history.

"I want them to have this sense of that moment in time where our founding, sort of the people who founded the United States of America, were interested in very progressive ideas, and that those progressive ideas were reflected in its architecture. I want them to feel that," Calvert Hall said.
