Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Breathe. It will all be what it will be. If you’ve felt panicked or confused in the last few days, it’s understandable. The constant churn of Nebraska football news since Sunday has been like drinking from a fire hose. Defensive coordinator Tony White is heading to Florida State as its defensive coordinator. Defensive backs coach John Butler will serve as the interim. Interim offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen is staying, signing a two-year extension for $1.2 million. Nebraska has hired a new wide receivers coach, Daikiel Shorts. Defensive line coach Terrance Knighton appears to be on the move. Several players, including Jimari Butler, have declared their intention to enter the transfer portal when it opens on Monday. Nebraska signed 20 high school prospects in conjunction with Wednesday’s signing day. Phew. Again, breathe. It’s a lot. It’s not all bad. It’s not all good, either, but it’s not all bad. Such is life in college football in December. Thoughts on the state of Nebraska football: White — a two-time Broyles Award finalist — leaving for another job was anticipated. He had plenty of calls in the last offseason to the point where he received a king’s ransom of a raise to be Nebraska’s defensive coordinator for 2024. The act of him leaving is not a surprise. But the job he left for, Florida State’s defensive coordinator, did raise some eyebrows — as many expected him to be a head coaching candidate once again. “Obviously I was disappointed,” Rhule said. “I liked coaching with Tony, I liked being around him. I thought he had a great effect. But he’s gotta go do what he’s gotta do.” Rhule continued later: “Did I want Tony to leave? No. But it’s OK. Coaches are going to leave. If we have good players and we have good coaches, people are going to come try to get them. If no one’s trying to take our players and no one’s trying to take our coaches, that means we’re in trouble.” While the title appears to be the same — defensive coordinator to defensive coordinator — this is not a lateral move. For one, Rhule said Wednesday that part of White’s move was for “family reasons.” For two, it likely comes with a bigger paycheck. White’s salary has not been publicly disclosed since the hire has not yet been announced by Florida State, but his predecessor, Adam Fuller, made $2 million in 2024 before he was fired last week. At Nebraska, White made $1.6 million in 2024. Of note, there’s no state income tax in Florida. Nebraska’s progressive income tax rate for White’s tax bracket is 6.54%. As far as other finances are concerned... Florida State football had an NIL team budget of around $12 million in 2024, according to an August report from the Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, with almost $2 million allocated for the defensive line. Nebraska’s NIL budget for football “is not even 10” million, Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen reportedly said at the 1890 annual member appreciation event last April. Yes, it is true that Florida State had an abysmal season — which is the entire reason why White has a job there now. But what about the season before that? When Florida State went undefeated in the regular season and was mindbogglingly left out of the four-team College Football Playoff. Yes, Florida State did go 2-10 this season. That did happen. But I still think the Florida State gig is a better job — even with the university in an active lawsuit against the ACC. With Mike Norvell making sweeping changes after the disappointing season, I doubt he remains on the hot seat. And even if he does? White’s a good candidate to take the reins. You can be mad at White for bolting. But that doesn’t change the fact that Nebraska needs a new defensive coordinator. (And a new defensive line coach, most likely.) Who’s it going to be? In the interim, at least, it will be defensive backs coach John Butler. Butler joined the staff over the summer after the untimely departure of Evan Cooper. Butler was previously with the Buffalo Bills and was Penn State’s defensive coordinator in 2013. Rhule did say that Butler is a candidate for the job. But, Rhule isn’t going to put a timetable on this hire. Nor is he going to try to make a big splash with a big name. He wants to 1.) Get it right, and 2.) Keep the defense the same. “I want to do this defense,” Rhule said. “Whoever that is, I don’t want to make that decision for the short term — where we all feel good about it.” Nothing here would surprise me. Promoting Butler would make sense. Hiring from the outside would make sense — especially since Rhule brought in an outside guy in the last two coordinator hires he’s made: White and Dana Holgorsen. One shred of good news from Monday was that Nebraska and offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen opted to continue things. Not just for a few more weeks, this time, but rather two years to the tune of $1.2 million. “I was ecstatic when Dana decided to stick around,” Rhule said. “He decided that he saw enough here in his time here to know that ... we can get this thing offensively to where we want to get it to.” There are good pieces here, that’s for sure. Quarterback Dylan Raiola is, of course, the straw that stirs the drink, but seeing the overall rise of play from most everyone on offense the last three weeks was quite the sight. Will be interesting to see how that develops with more time. One big change that Holgorsen wanted was to bring in one of his guys — Daikeil Shorts, a receiver who played for Holgo at West Virginia and then coached receivers on his staff at Houston. But that was the only change Holgorsen requested, Rhule said. Everything else, offensively at least, is expected to stay the same — Donovan Raiola as offensive line coach, Glenn Thomas at quarterbacks, EJ Barthel at running backs and Marcus Satterfield at tight ends. Yes. As of now, Satterfield will remain on staff as the tight ends coach. “That was Dana’s call,” Rhule said. “... Satt wants to be here and he’s done a great job in recruiting and I think he’ll continue to help us.” Yes. It’s been a lot of guys. Is it frustrating seeing guys like Jimari Butler and James Williams and Mikai Gbayor and Princewill Umanmielen in the portal? Yes. But that’s the name of the game these days. I warn you, there will be more. Not trying to fearmonger or anything, but it’s a numbers game at this point. Nebraska remains over the limit. And, Nebraska will be active in the portal, too. Lots of coming and going in the weeks to come. Nebraska’s lone All-Big Ten team selection was Ty Robinson, making the third team. I feel like that was a slight. Not necessarily a snub, but a slight. Hard to imagine nine more guys at his position in this league that are better than him. But, on a positive note for Robinson, he accepted his invitation to the Senior Bowl. Expect his draft stock to rise.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham says new poll results show residents understand the need for the city to collect more money — either from other governments or new taxes. The city-commissioned poll, by Probe Research, had 56 per cent of respondents agreeing with the idea that the city needs money from sources other than property taxes, fees and grants. About four in 10 respondents said extra funds from the provincial government is the best way to get new money, while about one in six respondents said new municipal taxes were the best option. Among the possible new taxes, the most popular items were vacant homes, liquor sales and commercial parking, while taxes on vehicle registration and online deliveries faced the most opposition. The poll included 480 adults from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, and cannot be assigned a margin of error because it involved an online panel. Gillingham is hoping further talks with the provincial NDP government will bear fruit. “We have a growing city ... and the demand for city services is only increasing,” Gillingham said Monday. “So we have to find ways to raise the revenue to provide those services.” The former Progressive Conservative government froze municipal operating grants for several years before boosting them by an average of 28 per cent in 2023. The NDP government, after winning last year’s election, has committed to annual increases of two per cent. Last week, the province announced an additional $62 million over five years for municipalities. It has also funded some additional policing costs to fight a surge in retail theft.

Any of the new taxes being floated by the city would need provincial approval. Simard was noncommittal when asked whether he would approve new municipal tax powers. “The more that we can work together in talking about the issues together is good for everyone,” Simard said. “That’s not a no or a yes,” he said when pressed again.

California lawmakers kicked off a special session of the state Legislature on Monday. The reason? To fund a $25 million war chest for anticipated legal battles with incoming President Donald Trump’s administration. As nearly 30 new state lawmakers were sworn into office at the state Capitol in Sacramento, legislative leaders gaveled in a special session called by that’s geared toward protecting undocumented immigrants, reproductive rights, climate policy and more from Trump’s second administration. The regular, two-year legislative session also began Monday, but the special session will allow for a speedier lawmaking process. Newsom has requested the funding for the state Department of Justice and other agencies, which are expected to file a flurry of lawsuits challenging Trump policies — as California Democrats did during the president’s first term. The governor’s ask was introduced in bills Monday by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, an Encino Democrat who chairs the body’s budget committee. “We will work with the incoming administration and we want President Trump to succeed in serving all Americans,” Newsom said in a statement. “But when there is overreach, when lives are threatened, when rights and freedoms are targeted, we will take action.” Newsom expects to sign the legislation before Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20, and top Democratic lawmakers are on board. They’ll do the bulk of that work in early January after a break, said Assemblymember Marc Berman, a Menlo Park Democrat. “Just like eight years ago, California must once again do everything we can to protect our 39 million residents and our economy,” he said in an email. “During both the special session and the regular session, we must double down on policies to defend reproductive freedom and autonomy, protect the environment, and invest in science and education.” Republicans, however, blasted the special session as a tone-deaf stunt to raise Newsom’s profile as a Trump foil. Politics observers say the Democratic governor almost surely will run for president in 2028, after his final term ends. “Instead of taking the hint that Californians are growing tired of Democrat incompetence, Newsom is doubling down on his extreme agenda and using his special session to ‘Trump-proof’ California with taxpayer dollars,” California GOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said in an email. “It’s clear that Gavin Newsom’s 2028 presidential run is now underway, and Californians are simply pawns in his game.” The $25 million set aside for litigation would be a tiny fraction of California’s $288 billion 2024-25 operating budget. But approving that budget required a series of measures to , including dipping into reserves. It was unclear Monday whether funding legal wars with Trump would come at the expense of other programs. On the campaign trail, Trump slammed California as a den of crime, rampant inflation and homelessness, while taking shots at the Golden State’s top Democrats. He also pledged to use the military to conduct mass deportations of immigrants without proper documentation, . Democrats including U.S. Senator Alex Padilla, Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta say they’ll staunchly defend immigrants and will not cooperate with deportations. Bonta also announced Monday that lawmakers are sponsoring bills to ensure Californians can access medication abortions and empowering the attorney general to seek fines from local governments that restrict abortion providers. “I want to make it unequivocally clear: California will remain a safe haven for reproductive rights and access to abortion care, no matter who is in the White House,” Bonta , said in a statement. After Trump’s victory last month, Newsom and California Democrats quickly laid the groundwork to oppose the incoming Republican administration. It’s a reprise role. During Trump’s first term, California filed 122 lawsuits challenging his administration’s policies under Democratic Attorney General Xavier Becerra. That litigation cost the state $42 million, according to Newsom’s office, and netted some victories. In one case, California and New York successfully sued the U.S. Department of Energy in 2017 to allow energy efficiency standards to go into effect nationally, which were expected to save consumers $8.4 billion and prevent nearly 100 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Another victory won California $60 million in federal public safety grants, the governor’s office said. Once again, California’s stand-off with Trump is likely to be a major force in state politics for the next four years. But this time around, Newsom is stressing that he’s open to finding common ground with the former president. Meanwhile, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Senate President Pro Tem Mike McGuire say they’ll mostly be . In fact, Newsom and Rivas have made overtures to California voters since Republicans nationally swept the November elections, reclaiming the White House and Senate and holding the House of Representatives. He made gains throughout the state in part because of discontent over inflation and living costs. In response, and has said that Democrats need to focus more on the economy. A spokesperson for Rivas did not return a request for comment by press time. Nearly 30 new lawmakers were also sworn in at the Capitol on Monday. The new legislature includes . Democrats still have complete control on state government, with supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature and holds on all executive seats.AI generates accurate images of streets by listening to their soundtrackAtkore's VP Daniel Kelly sells $1.25 million in stock
A new online tool has been launched with a goal of uniting Peel residents in dismantling systemic discrimination and building a more just community. On November 4, the Anti-Black Racism and Systemic Discrimination Collective (ABR-SD) launched a new digital platform — it can be found at the following link: . ABR-SD is made up of over 25 community agencies and leaders in Peel and was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ABR-SD says the pandemic made racial and social disparities much more apparent. Since its inception, ABR-SD has written papers, conducted research, and hosted forums to bring attention to systemic inequities in health care, policing, and education. In a press release, ABR-SD administrative coordinator Chelsea Antwi described the purpose of the new online forum. “This initiative invites anyone who lives, works or accesses services in the region to participate in interactive discussions, provide positive and meaningful feedback, and advocate for change while building a culture of equity and social justice,” said Antwi. “This digital space is open to anyone who shares the commitment to advancing equity and creating a region where every individual can thrive free from discrimination and bias.” According to the release, the new digital platform was created as a recommendation from 2023 research on rethinking community safety in Peel. It says the forum will create a space for community-driven content, engage users in open discussions on issues that impact their livelihood, and “encourage positive comments that can be shared with system leaders.” The new platform is being supported by the Region of Peel’s Community Safety and Well-Being Table and Roots Community Services. Roots Community Services is a multi-service charitable organization that’s recognized as a leader in Black, African and Caribbean communities. It provides culturally-sensitive and affirming programs and services to address the needs of the communities it serves. It’s especially known for its work addressing inequity in the health care, education and justice systems. Peel’s Community Safety and Well-Being Table is a group of over 25 organizations in sectors like education, emergency services, health care, social services, and government. It promotes cross-sector partnerships with a goal of ensuring access to essential services that enhance safety and well-being. It does this by focusing on three key areas: systemic discrimination, family violence, and mental health and addictions.
SINGAPORE: A man shared on social media that his girlfriend got mad at him after he refused to lend money to her sister. Posting anonymously on the NUSWhispers Facebook page, he explained that his girlfriend’s sister had been repeatedly borrowing money from him because he was “doing better financially.” While the sister always managed to pay him back, he started feeling uncomfortable with the constant requests and believed there should be limits. “I am under no obligation to lend,” he said. The situation became even more complicated when, after experiencing a disruption in his income stream, the sister approached him again for another loan. The sister promised to pay him back in six months in installments and even offered him $100 as a token of appreciation for his help. However, the man decided to put his foot down and politely declined her request. “Not long after, my girlfriend told me that her sister was very unhappy that I rejected her request and cursed me for that,” he said. “My girlfriend seemed to laugh about it. Her sister cursed me to be unlucky etc like genuinely hoping for my misfortune. I am quite surprised considering I have helped them several times in the past.” The incident ultimately made him realize that he needed to re-evaluate the relationship. The lack of support from his girlfriend, combined with the disrespectful behavior of her sister, left him feeling frustrated and uncertain about the future of their relationship. “I’m now just thinking of a suitable time to break it to them,” he wrote. “It’s best to break up, or you won’t have a peaceful life.” In the comments section, many netizens agreed with the man’s decision, saying he was right to put his foot down since his girlfriend’s sister had been taking advantage of his generosity. They also pointed out that the girlfriend laughing about the whole situation made it seem like she wasn’t taking his feelings seriously or respecting his boundaries. One netizen said, “They already treated you this way when you’re not married. They have taken you for granted. It’s best to break up, or you won’t have a peaceful life if you choose to be with her. She should be on your side.” Another commented, “So true. If your gf has siblings/parents that you can’t get along with, it’s best to reconsider your relationship with her. Saves you a lot of future problems. Good luck.” A few others felt he shouldn’t have lent the sister money at all, as it might have given her the impression it was okay to keep asking for more. One netizen suggested, “If someone close really needs help, just give them a small sum and don’t expect to get it back.” In other news, a man took to social media earlier this year to share that he’s been having the same dilemma with his best friend. In his post, he explained that his bestfriend has been treating him like an ‘ATM machine,’ as he’s been constantly borrowing money from him without fully returning it. Tired of this set-up, the man sought advice from Singaporeans online, asking, “How do I force my friend to return my money?” Read more: My friend treats me like I’m his ATM machine: ‘How do I force him to return my money?’ Featured image by Depositphotos (for illustration purposes only)

NEW YORK, Dec. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Franklin Resources, Inc. BEN resulting from allegations that Franklin Resources may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public. So What: If you purchased Franklin Resources securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses. What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=29671 call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. What is this about: On August 21, 2024, Franklin Resources filed a current report with the SEC. In this current report, the company announced it was naming a sole Chief Investment Officer at Western Asset Management (a company subsidiary) to replace co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Leech, who had been on a leave of absence, effective immediately. The current report also stated Ken Leech had "received a Wells Notice from the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission," and "[i]n light of Mr. Leech's leave of absence, the Company has determined that closing its Macro Opportunities strategy [. . .] is in clients' best interests." On this news, Franklin Resources' stock fell 12.5% on August 21, 2024. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation.

No mention of HR etc, just support and respect’Open manhole: MC orders probe after scareWASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that he will nominate former White House aide Brooke Rollins to be his agriculture secretary, the last of his picks to lead executive agencies and another choice from within his established circle of advisers and allies. The nomination must be confirmed by the Senate, which will be controlled by Republicans when Trump takes office Jan. 20. Rollins would succeed Tom Vilsack , President Joe Biden’s agriculture secretary who oversees the sprawling agency that controls policies, regulations and aid programs related to farming, forestry, ranching, food quality and nutrition. Rollins, who graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in agricultural development, is a longtime Trump associate who served as his former domestic policy chief. She is president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, a group helping to lay the groundwork for a second Trump administration. People are also reading...

Rick Perry and ran a think tank, the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Rollins’ pick completes Trump’s selection of the heads of executive branch departments, just two and a half weeks after the former president won the White House once again. Several other picks that are traditionally Cabinet-level remain, including U.S. Trade Representative and head of the small business administration. Trump didn’t offer many specifics about his agriculture policies during the campaign, but farmers could be affected if he carries out his pledge to impose widespread tariffs. During the first Trump administration, countries like China responded to Trump’s tariffs by imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports like the corn and soybeans routinely sold overseas. Trump countered by offering massive multibillion-dollar aid to farmers to help them weather the trade war. President Abraham Lincoln founded the USDA in 1862, when about half of all Americans lived on farms. The USDA oversees multiple support programs for farmers; animal and plant health; and the safety of meat, poultry and eggs that anchor the nation’s food supply. Its federal nutrition programs provide food to low-income people, pregnant women and young children. And the agency sets standards for school meals. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has vowed to strip ultraprocessed foods from school lunches and to stop allowing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program beneficiaries from using food stamps to buy soda, candy or other so-called junk foods. But it would be the USDA, not HHS, that would be responsible for enacting those changes. In addition, HHS and USDA will work together to finalize the 2025-2030 edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. They are due late next year, with guidance for healthy diets and standards for federal nutrition programs. ___ Gomez Licon reported from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
