phlboss net Ruben Amorim issues storm warning after smooth start with Manchester UnitedATLANTA (AP) — The Southeastern Conference championship game will not feature another mascot showdown . The league said there wasn't enough space on the sideline at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for No. 2 Texas to bring along its 1,700-pound longhorn Bevo XV. The Longhorns are facing No. 5 Georgia in the title game Saturday. The teams have two of college football's most famous mascots. There should be enough sideline space for Georgia's pure white English bulldog, the much-smaller Uga XI. Before the 2019 Sugar Bowl at the Superdome in New Orleans, Bevo XV toppled his barrier and began to charge at Uga X, who was Uga XI's predecessor as the Bulldogs' mascot. Texas handlers were able to pull back Bevo before the massive animal caused any harm. That won't be an issue in Atlanta. “When we received the request for Bevo to be on the sideline in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, our staff looked at several alternatives including the sideline location,” said Chuck Dunlap, an SEC spokesman. “The reality is there is limited sideline space at the stadium. We can’t jeopardize the safety of Bevo or the game participants.” In addition to the crowded sidelines, Mercedes-Benz Stadium also features field-level suits right behind the benches. “With the narrow sidelines, location of multiple sets for television and camera carts, there is not enough space,” Dunlap said. “While we want to honor tradition across the conference, the space limitation is a reality.” He added later Friday that the SEC tried to find space for Bevo, including a fan event at the adjacent Georgia World Congress Center. “We did identify several options for Bevo, including a location at SEC FanFare, but there was no opportunity for him to be on the field due to the space limitations,” Dunlap said in an email to The Associated Press.

WINCHESTER — The high school selection committee is inching closer to making a recommendation, but the question of where 8th-graders at Winchester School will graduate from in 2029 remains unanswered. At its meeting Thursday night, the Winchester School Board approved sending a mailer to residents and scheduled two more public forums for 2025 about the high school selection process. Winchester closed its high school in 2005 and has paid tuition for the town’s students to attend Keene High School since then. But the Keene School District announced in March that it would not renew its tuition agreement with Winchester after it expires in June 2027. As it stands, Winchester students will be able to attend Keene High until the tuition agreement ends. But the current agreement leaves uncertain whether those students will be able to graduate from Keene High or if they will have to finish their education elsewhere. Winchester School Board Chair Karen Jerome previously said legal counsel for the Keene and Winchester districts have been in communication since April to add an addendum to the tuition agreement, with the most recent revision being sent to Winchester on Oct. 29. The school board reviewed the addendum at its Nov. 7 meeting, Winchester Superintendent David Ryan said, and sent it back to the Keene Board of Education for a review. “We believe that it’s at a point that we’ve all walked away from the table with a compromise and that it’s in the best interest of all of our students,” he said. “We expect that by December 11, those contents should be public information.” Keene Board of Education Chair George Downing confirmed Friday morning that there is an item from the Winchester School District slated for discussion during its Tuesday meeting, but due to its contents it will be during its non-public session. Meanwhile, Winchester's high school selection committee has been researching alternatives to Keene High since this summer. The options include Hinsdale High, Monadnock Regional in Swanzey or Pioneer Valley Regional in Northfield, Mass. Lindseigh Picard, chair of the high school selection committee, gave a presentation to the Winchester School Board Thursday night about the process to date. Picard said the committee is on track to provide a recommendation at the Jan. 6 school board meeting. “We’ve found some common threads in the surveys from the high school open house night,” she said, referencing the event in November. “ People really want a school with access to trade and career technical education, they want advanced academics, small class sizes and sports.” Picard said additional discussion with the committee that has not been included in the data presented was the importance of developing a relationship with the school that is chosen for the next tuition agreement. “We hope our community is engaged at a decision-making level with whichever school district we opt to be part of,” she said. “We’d like Winchester to have a seat at the table.” Voters will ultimately get to weigh in at the annual district meeting in March about which school the district will pursue a tuition agreement negotiation with. Picard also noted feedback she’s received from the community about the uncertainty of whether Winchester students who enroll at Keene High before the tuition agreement ends will have to change schools at the beginning of the 2028-29 academic year. “People are really concerned about what is going on with our current 8th-graders,” she said. “A lot of questions have come about at the committee level that we don’t have any information about. We know you might not either, but that is definitely sparking a lot of concern.” Picard said some discussion has been ongoing in community Facebook groups in other towns about the tuition agreement, and asked for permission from the board to create a mailer to disseminate more information outside of social media. “We have people in our greater community who may not be participating in the Facebook pages,” Picard said. The board unanimously approved the mailer, and Picard said the committee will send a preview of it to the board by Tuesday. The mailer could be sent out as early as the week of Dec. 16. The board also approved scheduling two more public forums, one on Jan. 23 and the other on March 6, about the anchor school process during its meeting Thursday evening. “We’re going to need other meetings where the stakeholders can come talk to us, and share concerns and questions [people] may still have,” Jerome said. The Winchester School Board will meet again on Jan. 2 at 6 p.m. in the Winchester School library.Rutgers’ Greg Schiano explains why he took timeout in stunning last-second loss to Illinois

NoneNORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Wenkers Wright ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns and No. 13 Illinois State knocked off North Dakota for the first time, 35-13 in the regular season finale for both teams Saturday. The Redbirds are 9-2 (6-2 Missouri Valley Conference) and are looking to reach the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2019 and sixth time in Brock Spack's 16 seasons as head coach. Illinois State opened the game with some trickery. Eddie Kasper pulled up on a fleaflicker and launched a 30-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Loyd to cap a seven-play, 70-yard opening drive. Simon Romfo tied it on North Dakota's only touchdown of the day, throwing 20 yards to Nate DeMontagnac. Wright scored from the 10 to make it 14-7 after a quarter, and after C.J. Elrichs kicked a 20-yard field goal midway through the second to make it 14-10 at intermission, Wright powered in from the 18 and Mitch Bartol caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Rittenhouse to make it 28-10 after three. Seth Glatz added a 13-yard touchdown run to make it 35-10 before Elrichs added a 37-yard field goal to get the Fighting Hawks on the board to set the final margin. Rittenhouse finished 21 of 33 passing for 187 yards for Illinois State. Loyd caught eight passes for 121 yards. Romfo completed 11 of 26 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown with an interception for North Dakota (5-7, 2-6). Illinois State faced North Dakota for just the fourth time and third time as Missouri Valley Conference opponents. The Redbirds lost the previous three meetings.

ALAN Halsall has admitted he’s gutted to lose his I’m A Celebrity ‘wife’ Tulisa after her shock eviction. Coronation Street star Alan , 42, had formed a close bond with singer Tulisa , 36, during their time in camp. Her surprise departure left him visibly emotional, admitting it was a major blow to his experience on the hit ITV show. Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, the actor said: "Today, the camp lost my original wife from the leaders' lodge, which is quite sad. "She's a great girl and I can't wait to catch up with her on the outside." Tulisa's exit has been shrouded in mystery as has wiped all trace of the show from her social media feeds just hours after being voted out. The N-Dubz songstress was the third campmate to be evicted in a shock result last night. Tulisa took the result well and spoke highly of her campmates in her exit interview with hosts Ant and Dec. But after regaining control of her phone, Tulisa wasted little time removing the jungle-themed posts that had been shared by her team during her time in the jungle. Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that she doesn't follow Barry McGuigan on Instagram , the only campmate she isn't digital friends with. A source said: "Tulisa was in high spirits when she left the set, but something appears to have happened that's left her raging. "She wasn't in a great mood for her post-show interviews and appears to be already distancing herself from the programme. It's all a bit of a mystery at the moment." This morning on Lorraine, Tulisa opened up about her time in the jungle. She said she has 'friends for life' but that not all her campmates were genuine. The former X Factor judge said: “I feel like I have with some of them. I think they will be friends for life. “But a lot of people for the cameras were being very pally pally but the real test will be when everyone is out. “Will they make the effort to send texts in the group chat? Will they do the four hour drives to see each other? We'll see..." One strong friendship Tulisa made was with professional dancer Oti Mabuse . She also revealed that she'd like to see Alan Halsall, Maura Higgins and Melvin Odoom join Oti in the final four. Tulisa's exit made her the third celebrity to leave the jungle, following in the footsteps of Dean McCullough and Jane Moore. Fans were left furious when Tulisa's exit was announced on Monday night, with some even claiming the ITV show was 'fixed'. Some were so angry that they insisted they'd be speaking to broadcasting regulator Ofcom. One wrote: "Someone get ofcom to call me now. No longer watching." Another said: "I demand a recount on votes. There's no way she should have gone." Someone else commented: "Unfortunately she got so little screentime today that I think it's probably what did for her." And a fourth added: "This is rigged, no way others got more votes to stay in than her." Speaking to Ant and Dec moments after the shock announcement she was leaving , Tulisa said: "It's just a whirlwind. It doesn't feel real. "I just think I'll be so much more grateful for everything. "It makes you appreciative. You don't realise how good you've got it. "It can be testing in here because you can feel like different versions of yourself." i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle.

Iran condemns UK, US ‘hypocrisy’ in blaming others for regional instabilityDaily Post Nigeria NCC to resolve telecoms, banks’ USSD debt issue with CBN Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sponsored NCC to resolve telecoms, banks’ USSD debt issue with CBN Published on November 24, 2024 By Daily Post Staff The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is in talks with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) debt totalling N250 billion between the telecom operators and the commercial banks in the country. USSD, known as quick or feature codes, is a global system for mobile communications (GSM) protocol used to send text messages and initiate financial transactions such as cash transfers, balance inquiries, payments for services and others. However, the USSD platform, which is widely relied upon by millions of Nigerians for quick and efficient mobile transactions, has become a point of disagreement between the banks and telecom operators. The crisis dates back to 2019 when telcos proposed charging N4.50 per 20 seconds of USSD usage in order to cover operational costs after years of providing the service for free. But the banks kicked against this, saying a 450% increase in transaction costs will significantly grow the debt and strain relations between the two vital industries. However, the NCC’s Director of Consumer Affairs Bureau, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde, who disclosed this move, said commission was hopeful the issue would soon be settled. According to him, “The NCC remains committed to ensuring that the interests of all stakeholders—consumers, telcos, and banks—are protected.” He insisted that a resolution is critical to maintaining the seamless operation of mobile financial services that millions of Nigerians depend on daily. Akinde, who also said plans are on to introduce reforms at enhancing tariff transparency in the telecommunications industry, believed the new move between the NCC and the CBN would put the debt issue finally to rest. On transparency and responsibility policy, Adinde said the changes, set to roll out in the coming months, will require telecom operators to provide consumers with clear, easily accessible tables outlining tariff plans, billing rates, and the terms and conditions associated with their services. Indeed, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MTN Nigeria, Karl Toriola had said in October that banks might be disconnected from the USSD platform due to debt arising from the use of the quick codes by their customers. Toriola had said mobile network operators (MNOs) might, subject to regulatory approval, suspend use of the service on the network for banking operations, as the debt had continued to pile up and was becoming unsustainable to the operators. Also, the executive secretary of the Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Gbolahan Awonuga, said in October that the debt between telecoms operators and commercial had hit N250billion. Earlier, the telcos had lamented that they could no longer provide the services free, proposing a cut of N4.50k per 20 seconds from the charges paid by customers to the banks. But the banks kicked against this, adding that it would raise costs by 450 percent.

The 39-year-old has been a breath of fresh air since succeeding Erik ten Hag, with his personality and approach, coupled with promising early performances, bringing hope back to Old Trafford. Amorim has been touched by his warm welcome but repeatedly urged fans to avoid jumping the gun, having followed a draw at Ipswich with home wins against Bodo/Glimt and Everton. Wednesday’s trip to Arsenal is comfortably his biggest challenge yet and victory would see United move within three points of the Premier League title contenders. Put to Amorim it will be hard to manage expectations if they won in the capital, the head coach said: “I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come. “I don’t know if you use that expression, but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. “And I know that because I’m knowing my players and I know football and I follow football, so I understand the difference between the teams. “We are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training, and you feel it in this game against Everton, they change a little bit the way they were building up. “They are very good team, and we were with a lot of problems because we cannot change it by calling one thing to the captain. A midweek trip to the capital awaits 🚆 #MUFC || #PL pic.twitter.com/1e6VrILJW3 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) December 3, 2024 “So, we don’t have this training, so let’s focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus. “I know it’s really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. We want to win all the time. No matter what. “We are going to try to win, but we know that we are in a different point if you compare to Arsenal. “So, it is what it is and we will try to win it and we go with confidence to win, but we know that we need to play very well to win the next football match.” The trip to Arsenal is the second of nine December matches for United, who are looking to avoid suffering four straight league defeats to the Gunners for the first time. The Red Devils have not won a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium since 2017, but Amorim knows a thing or two about frustrating Mikel Arteta’s men. Arsenal thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League last week, but in 2022-23 he led the Portuguese side to a Europa League last-16 penalty triumph after a 1-1 draw in London made it 3-3 on aggregate. “Arsenal this year, they play a little bit different,” Amorim said. “They are more fluid. “For example, two years ago when we faced them with Sporting, you knew how to press because you can understand better the structure. “Now it’s more fluid with (Riccardo) Calafiori and (Jurrien) Timber in different sides. One coming inside, the other going outside. Also (Martin) Odegaard changed the team, and you can feel it during this season. “So, you can take something from that game, especially because I know so well the opponent so you can understand the weakness of that team. “But every game is different, so you take something, but you already know that you are going to face a very good team.” This hectic winter schedule means Amorim sidestepped talk of January transfer business ahead of facing Arsenal, although he was more forthcoming on Amad Diallo’s future. The 22-year-old, who put in a man of the match display in Sunday’s 4-0 win against Everton, is out of contract at the end of the season, although the club holds an option to extend by a year. Diallo has repeatedly spoken of his desire to stay at United and it has been reported an agreement is close. Amorim said: “I think he wants to stay, and we want him to stay. So that is clear and we will find a solution.”Experts discuss why and how to navigate information overload and counter misinformation so that people with cancer can make well-informed decisions about their care. WASHINGTON , Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Comprehensive Cancer Network ® (NCCN ® )—a non-profit alliance of leading cancer centers—hosted a Patient Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C. , today. The annual event brings together leading experts to promote strategies and best practices for improving cancer care. This year's summit focused on practice and policy solutions for sharing accurate, evidence-based health information with patients and caregivers. It featured a keynote address from W. Kimryn Rathmell, MD, PhD, MMHC, Director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) , along with panel discussions that included Robin Vanderpool , DrPH, Chief of the NCI's Health Communication and Informatics Research Branch . "When people with cancer are empowered to make informed choices about their care, they tend to have better outcomes," said Crystal S. Denlinger , MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN , who welcomed attendees at the start of the program. "That means we must provide patients with clear, trustworthy information that meets them where they are. For example, the NCCN Guidelines for Patients offer plain-language explanations of the latest evidence-based recommendations. They feature expert guidance on most cancer types, along with prevention, screening, and supportive care. We share them in multiple languages and formats, including books and webinars." "Every person facing cancer needs and deserves high-quality information to understand their options and guide their decisions. The National Cancer Institute, NCCN, and other organizations represented at the summit contribute to a complex information landscape to meet the needs of people with cancer," said Dr. Rathmell. "Trust in the cancer research enterprise is essential to ensuring that scientific progress includes and reflects the diversity of patient experiences and providing reliable health information is a key aspect of earning and honoring that trust." During a series of Best Practices Presentations for sharing patient-centered health information, NCCN's Senior Director of Patient Information Operations, Dorothy Shead , explained that the NCCN Guidelines for Patients ® are available for free at NCCN.org/patientguidelines or via the NCCN Patient Guides for Cancer App —thanks to funding via the NCCN Foundation ® . Additional presentations came from spokespeople for We Engage 4 Health, HPV Cancers Alliance, Cancer Support Community, and the Frontier & Rural Patient Navigators at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute. More information can be found in a new resource toolkit at NCCN.org/patient-advocacy-resources . Preventing the spread of misinformation Speakers underscored the need to identify and debunk any myths that can create misunderstanding and a false sense of security. They discussed the importance of working with trusted messengers to counter misinformation. "A key lesson learned from COVID-19 was the importance of having trusted professional and community advocates address misinformation and disinformation," noted Martha Dawson , DNP, RN, FAAN, FACHE , Immediate Past President, National Black Nurses Association . "Diverse researchers, scientists, policymakers, faith-based leaders, and community advocates with similar lived experiences can serve as sources of trusted information. It is important to support and expand cancer education at the community level and engage with people where they are born, live, work, play, worship and transition life." "Misinformation in cancer care can create confusion, delay treatment, and undermine trust between patients and providers. By addressing these challenges head-on, we can empower patients with accurate, accessible information to make informed decisions about their health," agreed Skyler Johnson , MD, Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah . "Effective communication is at the heart of quality cancer care. We need to equip clinicians and patients with the tools and strategies to counter misinformation, foster trust, and work together through an increasingly complex healthcare landscape." Clear and consistent messaging to build trust A recurring theme throughout the discussions was the importance of clear and consistent health messaging that is delivered in a way everyone can understand. That means keeping in mind inclusive technology and supportive health literacy levels. Speakers cautioned against using too much medical jargon, instead focusing on language that can resonate. They also noted that it can be hard to retain information right after learning you or a loved one has cancer, so careful repetition can be key. Speakers also reiterated how crucial it is to build trust with each patient through open and honest two-way relationships. "As a survivor and caregiver, I've seen firsthand the impact that clear and culturally-relevant care discussions can have for patients and their families," explained Randi Ervin , Survivor/Advocate, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) . "Compassionate, empathetic, and relatable communication—delivered at the right time—can make a difficult journey feel a little more manageable for families like mine." Bryce Reeve , PhD, Professor, Population Health Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, commented: "As a health care system, we have a responsibility to ensure that every individual with cancer has a voice in their care. This is especially important for young children and individuals from marginalized communities whose values, perceptions, and experiences have often been overlooked." "Regardless of our affiliations, whether it be community healthcare, academic medicine, the federal government, or the nonprofit sector, it is critical for us to recognize the richness of collaborating with non-science/healthcare community members to address challenges such as health misinformation and equitable clinical trial participation," concluded Arnethea Sutton, PhD, Interim Assistant Director of Community Outreach and Engagement, VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center . "Not only will these collaborations contribute to trust-building amongst all partners, but the richness of diverse thought and perspectives will contribute to the translation of science and ultimately equitable outcomes for all."
