I aim for a million buying just 10 or so shares!The Carolina Panthers announced Monday that they’ve placed DE Charles Harris on waivers. Harris is tied for the team lead in sacks, so this is a bit of a surprise. Harris, 29, is a former first-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Missouri. He was in the final year of his four-year, $10,843,739 rookie contract when the Dolphins traded him to the Falcons. Harris had his fifth-year option declined by the Falcons and earned a base salary of $1,943,692 in 2020. He signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Lions for the 2021 season. Detroit brought him back on a two-year deal worth $14 million in March 2022 and he became an unrestricted free agent this past offseason before eventually joining the Panthers. In 2024, Harris has appeared in nine games for the Panthers and recorded 21 tackles and three sacks.

AMHERST — At the end of the day, effort is important. The scoreboard, however, is much more so. "I told the guys [Friday] night, there was a lot of adversity this year, with different things happening and a lot of tough losses. It was another one today," University of Massachusetts interim head coach Shane Montgomery said after the Minutemen dropped a 47-42 decision to Connecticut in the regular-season finale at McGuirk Alumni Stadium. "I was really, again, proud of our effort most of the day," Montgomery said. "We didn't do things perfect. We made too many mistakes at times in all three phases. I loved the fight. I told the guys I was proud of them for the way it looked like we were down and out a couple of times, and we'd drive down and score. "We had a chance at an onside kick with 36 seconds left." The Minutemen finish 2-10 and without a win over an FBS team for the second time in three years. UConn improves to 8-4, which makes the Huskies a very bowl-eligible team. It will be interesting to see if coach Jim Mora Jr. and his squad get a call as an independent to play in December. Up next for UMass will be the search for a coach to replace Montgomery, who was named interim coach after Don Brown was fired following the overtime loss to Liberty. It is possible that Montgomery could be a candidate for the permanent job. UMass held a 1-point lead at halftime, 28-27. And if someone wants to see where the the game turned, it was in the third quarter. UMass ended up with 15 net yards of offense in the third quarter, going three-and-out on three different occasions. The one that Montgomery, his staff and the UMass players will see in their nightmares came early in the quarter. The Huskies had won the toss and elected to defer, so after Jacob Lurie's second-half kickoff, UConn took over on its 24. Moving the ball to near midfield, UConn faced third-and-8 on its 47, but quarterback Joe Fagnano was under heavy pressure by the UMass defense and couldn't complete a pass to Skyler Bell. On fourth down, Mora thought he'd fool the Minutemen, throwing the ball out of punt formation. Connor Stutz's pass was intended for John Neider, who was wide open beyond the sticks, but UMass special teams player Ryan Barnes got his hands up in front of the receiver, deflecting the ball away. That gave UMass a golden opportunity on the Huskies' 47-yard line. Three running plays by Jalen John gained 7 yards, and he was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on third-and-3. Opportunity squandered. The next three drives compounded the felony. "I think we had four straight three-and-outs" in the third quarter and early in the fourth, the interim coach said. "We didn't have good field position. I think three of them were inside the [10]. When you get backed up like that, your playbook shrinks. You're trying to get that one first down and we missed on a couple." UConn took the lead for keeps on a 54-yard touchdown drive. The TD was scored when Fagnano found Jasaiah Gathings and Gathings beat defensive back Isaiah Rutherford for the 26-yard touchdown. The UConn 2-point conversion was a serious adventure. An incomplete pass was wiped out by an illegal substitution penalty against UMass. Trying again, Fagnano was stopped short of the goal line, and it was 33-28. The visitors went up two scores after a short punt and a 35-yard touchdown drive. Earlier in the season, UMass might not have recovered. Instead, backup quarterback Ahmad Haston engineered a 75-yard touchdown drive. He made the big play with a 32-yard run on third down. Two plays later, C.J. Hester scored on an 8-yard run. The PAT kick cut the lead to 40-35. Haston was running the show because starting quarterback A.J. Hairston, who finished 13 for 21 for 134 yards and 3 touchdowns, suffered an upper body injury on the final play of the third quarter. He went to the locker room and did not return. "Ahmad was hurt coming into the game. He got hurt a little bit last week and it really affected him throwing the football," said Montgomery. "The plan this week was use A.J. and use Amhad to possibly run the ball. Ahmad was very limited throwing the football." When UMass got the ball back with the score 47-35, things appeared bleak. Hairston was out and Haston couldn't throw, except for what Montgomery described as dinking and dunking. So freshman Will Perry, a preferred walk-on, got the call. The left-handed quarterback guided the Minutemen from their 25 into the end zone. He had a huge fourth-down pass to John for 11 yards and a first down on the UConn 7. On the next play, he lasered a throw to T.Y. Harding at the back of the end zone. Lurie's kick made it 47-42, but the Minutemen could not recover the onside kick. "When A.J. got hurt and he was out," Montgomery said, "I really didn't know what to do there at the end because we had to throw the ball and Ahmad couldn't do it, not what we needed. Will Perry was the only quarterback I had left who could throw the ball "I always tell him you've got to be ready. He went in there and did a great job and the guys really rallied around him." Perry finished 7 for 11 for 72 yards. The game started inauspiciously for the Minutemen, who went three-and-out and, on UConn's first play from scrimmage, gave up a 55-yard touchdown pass to tight end Lou Harmon. The Minutemen had six first-half possessions before they elected to take a knee in the last 17 seconds. They scored touchdowns on four of them. Connecticut had the last say in the first half, as kicker Chris Freeman boomed a 53-yard field goal with 22 seconds until halftime, making the score 28-27 at the break. It was a career best for Freeman. That set up what was a second half that was even wilder than the first half was. Despite the heroics, when the clock hit 0:00, it was another loss for the Minutemen. Despite what the interim coach said about the effort, the result is what stings. "There has been a handful of guys who have been here for a long time which, in today's world of sports is different. There's not many guys that stay four and five years. I feel bad for them because they really worked hard to try to get this program to the next level. It just didn't work out wins and loss wise," Montgomery said. "We made some strides and we had a lot of close games. "You ultimately get judged by wins and losses, and it wasn't where we wanted [to be] this year." ———UBS AM a distinct business unit of UBS ASSET MANAGEMENT AMERICAS LLC Has $12.46 Million Stock Position in Five Below, Inc.

Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise prices, won't rule out revenge prosecutionsManchester United are reportedly preparing a bid to sign Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman from Serie A side Atalanta during the summer transfer window. According to reports from Caught Offside, the Red Devils are closely monitoring the €70 million-rated Super Eagles forward, viewing him as a crucial addition to their attacking lineup. Lookman ‘s impressive performances for Atalanta, characterised by his blistering pace and clinical finishing, have made him a sought-after talent, prompting discussions about a potential contract extension with the Italian club. With the departure of Erik ten Hag and the appointment of Ruben Amorim, Manchester United are eager to make a statement signing, and Lookman fits the bill. The Nigerian international who is tipped to win the 2024 CAF African Player of the Year award , has enjoyed a phenomenal season in Serie A. So far, the former Everton player has scored eight goals and provided five assists in just 14 appearances for Atalanta in the 2024/25 campaign. This outstanding form has attracted interest from European heavyweights, including Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Lookman ‘s impact has extended beyond the club level. He recently made history by finishing 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or rankings, becoming the only African player on the prestigious shortlist. His remarkable performances for Atalanta and Nigeria throughout the 2023/24 season have captured global attention. Atalanta benefited significantly from Lookman’s contributions, as he scored 17 goals and provided ten assists across all competitions. His crowning moment came in the UEFA Europa League final, where he netted a hat-trick to lead his team to victory. Internationally, he played a crucial role in Nigeria’s runner-up finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, adding three more goals to his impressive tally. Given his previous experience in the Premier League with Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City, Lookman may be tempted to return to English football and showcase his improved abilities at a club like Manchester United. While his earlier spells in the league were underwhelming, his recent transformation at Atalanta suggests he has taken his game to a new level.VANCOUVER - A family of killer whales has made a rare trip into waters off downtown Vancouver for what an expert says was likely a “grocery shopping” hunt for harbour seals. Video shared on social media by False Creek Ferries shows the whales cruising past highrise towers at the entrance to False Creek on Sunday. The captain of the ferry, Jack Hemsworth said the passengers on board were stunned as the whales’ dorsal fins cut through the surface. He put the engine into neutral as the whales glided by. “I’ve never been that close, even on like a whale watching tour,” said Hemsworth, adding that at one point, the whales passed within five feet of his little vessel, which was crossing from the West End in Vancouver to Kitsilano Beach. The boats in the ferry fleet are only about 20 feet long — smaller than most adult orcas. Andrew Trites, director of the University of British Columbia’s marine mammal research unit, has identified the whales as a family group of transient orcas consisting of a mother and her three offspring. Trites said the video shows the whales moving quietly like “ghosts” to avoid alerting their prey. “They’re on the hunt, and so they don’t want to make a big splash about it. They want to come in very stealthy-like, as though they weren’t even there,” said Trites. “I’m sure there were hundreds of people walking along the seawall that day and they didn’t even notice and these people aboard the boat, they had a very special moment they will remember for the rest of their lives.” He said it’s the first time the 26-year-old mother orca, known as T35A, has shown up in downtown Vancouver with her children aged six, 11 and 14. Trites said the well documented family has previously been seen by marine researchers from Alaska to the Strait of Juan de Fuca south of Vancouver Island. He attributes the pod’s surprising downtown appearance to seals also changing their habits as they hide from orcas, forcing killer whales to hunt in backwater areas like False Creek. Killer whales have previously been spotted in False Creek, including in 2019, and in 2010 a grey whale swam all the way to the end of the inlet, near Science World. Trites said researchers are hearing more reports of killer whales being seen in places where they’ve never been seen before. He said the behaviour captured on the video suggests the whales didn’t catch anything. Trites said the sighting was an indication of the recovered health of the Salish Sea, saying it was “in a state that we haven’t seen it for over a century.” He likened it to living next to Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. “It’s a very healthy, vibrant system ... we’ve seen humpback whales come back. We’ve seen our seal numbers recover and stabilize,” he said. “We see killer whales here every single day now and when I first came to B.C., I hardly ever saw a seal, never saw killer whales in here and it’s all changed.” In 2021, the B.C. government estimated there were 206 “mature” transient orcas in the province’s coastal waters, while U.S. authorities have put the total population at about 350. The species is designated as threatened, meaning they are likely to become endangered without interventions. But Trites said the population was growing, in association with the recovery of prey species, such as the Steller sea lion. As a marine researcher who has been through many encounters with killer whales, Trites said those aboard the ferry should feel privileged. “They are magical experiences,” he said. Hemsworth, who has worked for False Creek Ferries since 2019, agreed. “I’m sure they shared all those videos with their friends and family, and it’s nothing that they’re gonna forget anytime soon,” he said.

(AP) — Johnny Zuagar said he tried to hide his worries about a potential government shutdown from his three boys as he weighed how much to spend on Christmas presents. “I’ve got to keep a poker face,” Zuagar, a statistician at the U.S. Census Bureau, said when thinking about his boys, ages 14, 12 and 6. “You’re just trying to take that worry off of your family.” Like thousands of federal workers, Zuagar had been navigating the holidays with the spirit of the season overtaken by an air of gloom and uncertainty. The efforts in Congress to reach an agreement on keeping the government open had cast a cloud over the holidays for many federal workers facing the prospect of furloughs in the days before Christmas. But Congress passed a three-month spending bill early Saturday, just after the midnight deadline, and President Joe Biden signed it into law hours later. There was no shutdown. Many federal workers were already anxious about the possibility of future workforce reductions under the incoming Trump administration. Zuagar, who is president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 2782, which represents federal workers at the census, has lived through shutdowns before. This time, the uncertainty came as Trump and his allies have promised sweeping cuts in the federal workforce. “We really don’t know anymore," Zuagar said during a telephone interview Friday. “Again, the rhetoric out there is that federal employees are the problem.” The contentiousness of the current debate has left him wondering: "Are we the scapegoat for every ill and grievance in America?" He said federal workers are also worried about what will happen after Trump takes office. “They’re fearful of what’s to come, like this is the beginning of something, or they don’t care about us," Zuagar said. Jesus Soriano, president of the AFGE Local 3403 representing workers at the National Science Foundation and several other agencies, also said the budget clash felt different this time around. “Americans need to decide what type of services the government should provide, whether we are talking about national security, the safety of our borders, the safety of our food, Social Security or others," Soriano said in an interview in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
