The Gophers on Tuesday received the third commitment from a wide receiver during the December transfer portal window when former Nebraska wideout Malachi Coleman — one of the nation’s top recruits in the 2023 class — announced on the X platform that he is joining Minnesota’s football program. Coleman, a 6-4, 218-pound redshirt freshman in 2024, will have three years of eligibility remaining after playing in 11 games as a true freshman for the Cornhuskers in 2023 and using a redshirt this season, when he appeared in only one game. Coleman caught eight passes for 139 yards and one touchdown in his Huskers debut season. A former Lincoln (Neb.) East High School standout, Coleman was a four-star prep prospect and the top-ranked player in Nebraska, the 11th-ranked wide receiver nationally and the 63rd-ranked player nationally by 247Sports.com . His offer list in high school included Colorado, Miami (Fla.), Missouri, Penn State, Michigan and Oklahoma, among others. In the transfer portal rankings, Coleman was No. 30 among wideouts. Coleman’s commitment comes one day after former UCLA receiver Logan Loya joined the Gophers program . In the first week of the open portal period, the Gophers signed former Miami (Ohio) wideout Javon Tracy. The additions of Coleman, Loya and Tracy brings an influx of talent into a Gophers wide receiver group that must replace its top two pass catchers from 2024 — Daniel Jackson (75 receptions, 863 yards, four touchdowns) and Elijah Spencer (46-603-4). Loya caught 29 passes for 348 yards and four TDs this season after leading the Bruins with 59 receptions for 655 yards and five TDs last season. . Tracy had 57 receptions for 818 yards and seven TDs this season and 22 catches for 348 yards and two scores last season. Minnesota’s top returning wideout is senior Le’Meke Brockington, who had 16 catches for 227 yards and a TD in 2024.
Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president and third American leader to visit India, after whom a village in Haryana was named Carterpuri has passed away at 100 in Georgia. Carter, the longest-lived president in US history, passed away on Sunday at the age of 100. According to the Carter Centre, on January 3, 1978, Carter and then First Lady Rosalynn Carter travelled to the village of Daulatpur Nasirabad, an hour southwest of New Delhi. He was the third American president to visit India and the only one with a personal connection to the country – his mother, Lillian, had worked there as a health volunteer with the Peace Corps during the late 1960s. “The visit was so successful that shortly after, village residents renamed the area ‘Carterpuri’ and remained in contact with the White House for the rest of President Carter’s tenure. The trip made a lasting impression: Festivities abounded in the village when President Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, and January 3 remains a holiday in Carterpuri,” the Carter Centre said. Read: Jimmy Carter, a transformative diplomat despite Iran “In fact, since the Carter administration, the US and India have worked closely on energy, humanitarian aid, technology, space cooperation, maritime security, disaster relief, counterterrorism, and more. In the mid-2000s, the United States and India struck a landmark agreement to work toward full civil nuclear cooperation, and bilateral trade has since skyrocketed,” the centre said. President Carter understood that shared democratic principles formed a strong foundation for a long, fruitful relationship between the US and India. It is, therefore, no surprise that the two nations grew steadily closer in the decades after he left office, it said. Read more: Jimmy Carter's biggest challenges while president “India's difficulties, which we often experience ourselves and which are typical of the problems faced in the developing world, remind us of the tasks that lie ahead. Not the Authoritarian Way,” Carter had said on January 2, 1978. A day later at the signing of the Delhi declaration along with then Prime Minister Morarji Desai, Carter said at the heart of the friendship between India and the US is their determination that the moral values of the people must also guide the actions of the states, the governments. With PTI inputsManchester City's nightmare seasons shows no signs of slowing down following their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon. The loss left the Citizens in seventh place with 27 points , 12 fewer than first-placed Liverpool, who have played a game fewer than the champions. Guardiola's side are also at risk of elimination from the Champions League given they are 22nd in the table with eight points and occupy the third-last round of 16 playoff spot. To add to this, Football Insider now claim that Haaland is laying the groundwork to leave the club, with the 24-year-old reportedly moaning in the dressing room at his team's form this campaign. © Imago The Norwegian has scored 13 times in the Premier League this season and has netted his side's opening goal on eight occasions, with defender Josko Gvardiol City's next highest scorer having found the back of the net four times. Haaland broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League season in 2022-23 when he scored 36 times, surpassing Andy Cole and Alan Shearer , who netted 34 each in 1993-94 and 1994-95 respectively. The striker has averaged exactly one goal per 90 in the top flight, as well as 1.18 assists per 90, and only needs to score 24 more times in the league to reach a century of goals in the England's premier division. In his first five league matches of 2024-25, Haaland found the back of the net on 10 occasions, scoring hat-tricks against Ipswich Town and West Ham United. However, he only scored three goals in his subsequent 12 Premier League fixtures, blanking nine times and producing just one assist in that period. © Imago One of the criticisms of Haaland since joining City has been his relatively limited impact on games when he does not score. The 24-year-old has averaged under 20 touches of the ball per 90 in the league this term, whereas Liverpool striker Diogo Jota has averaged just under 35 touches per 90. While it is difficult to expect Haaland to become more involved in build-up play considering he has proven how deadly he can be on the last line of an opposition's defence, he has stood out for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks. Guardiola has defended his striker this season, telling Spanish media: "Erling is so important for us, will be important for us and we need to use him better." Given the striker's track record at City, it would not be surprising if Haaland was to get back on the scoresheet more regularly, but fans will hope that Guardiola can convince him to stay despite the team's overall struggles.
Nvidia, Netflix Lead Market Cap Stock Movers on Monday
WASHINGTON — The Commerce Department’s efforts to curb China’s and Russia’s access to American-made advanced computer chips have been “inadequate” and will need more funding to stymie their ability to manufacture advanced weapons, according to a new report from the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The Biden administration imposed export controls to limit the ability of China and Russia to access U.S.-made chips after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago. The agency’s Bureau of Industry and Security, according to the report released this week, does not have the resources to enforce export controls and has been too reliant on U.S. chip makers voluntarily complying with the rules. But the push for bolstering Commerce’s export control enforcement comes as the incoming Trump administration says it is looking to dramatically reduce the size and scope of federal government. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency” to dismantle parts of the federal government. The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. BIS’s budget, about $191 million, has remained essentially flat since 2010 when adjusted for inflation. “While BIS’ budget has been stagnant for a decade, the bureau works diligently around the clock to meet its mission and safeguard U.S. national security,” Commerce Department spokesperson Charlie Andrews said in a statement in response to the report. Andrews added that with “necessary resources from Congress” the agency would be “better equipped to address the challenges that come with our evolving national security environment.” In a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, chair of the subcommittee, pointed to an audit of Texas Instruments that showed the Russian military continued to acquire components from Texas Instruments through front companies in Hong Kong to illustrate how the export controls are failing as an effective tool. The committee’s findings, Blumenthal said, suggest that Texas Instruments “missed clear warning signs” that three companies in its distribution chain had been diverting products to Russia. Texas Instruments did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “While Congress must provide BIS more resources to undertake its critical mission, it is long past time for BIS to make full use of the enforcement powers Congress has conferred upon it and take aggressive steps to cut the flow of U.S. semiconductors into the Russian war machine,” Blumenthal wrote. It’s not just Texas Instruments that’s the issue. The subcommittee in September published a report that found aggregated exports from four major U.S. advanced chip manufacturers nearly doubled from 2021 to 2022 to Armenia and Georgia. Both of those countries are home to front companies known to assist Russia in acquiring advanced chips made in the U.S. despite export controls. China, meanwhile, has created “vast, barely disguised smuggling networks which enable it to continue to harness U.S. technology,” the subcommittee report asserts. Washington has been gradually expanding the number of companies affected by such export controls in China, as President Joe Biden’s administration has encouraged an expansion of investments in and manufacturing of chips in the U.S. But Chinese companies have found ways to evade export controls in part because of a lack of China subject matter experts and Chinese speakers assigned to Commerce’s export control enforcement. The agency’s current budget limits the number of international end-use checks, or physical verification overseas of distributors or companies receiving American-made chips that are the supposed end users of products. Currently, Commerce has only 11 export control officers spread around the globe to conduct such checks. The committee made several recommendations in its report, including Congress allocating more money to hire additional personnel to enforce export controls, imposing larger fines on companies that violate controls and requiring periodic reviews of advanced chip companies’ export control plans by outside entities.
