This release was published on openPR.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. Rollins, 52, previously served as an aide to former Texas Gov. 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.

Promising lucrative returns through an “international investment scheme”, cyber fraudsters duped a Sector 16-based businessman of ₹ 57 lakh. The victim, Madhavjeet, filed a complaint with the Chandigarh Police cyber crime cell, narrating that the fraud began on May 9, when he enrolled in a “stock market training programme” promoted via Instagram. The ad featured a supposed expert, Rajat Chopra, claiming to compete in the Global Trading Championship (GTC) and offering opportunities to invest in an international trading account linked to Upstox. Initially, Madhavjeet said, he was asked to invest ₹ 10 lakh, which he transferred to various bank accounts in July. However, he became suspicious when he realised that the payments were being made to different accounts, not directly to Upstox. Upon contacting Upstox, he was informed that the platform had no affiliation with the scheme, but Chopra convinced him that his participation in GTC allowed for a separate international trading account. As the scheme progressed, Madhavjeet said, he was encouraged to invest further, with promises of high returns from IPO shares. When he expressed inability to pay ₹ 50 lakh for the IPO, Chopra offered a loan to facilitate the investment. But despite making large investments, his account never reflected the promised returns. By August, Madhavjeet said, he realised he had been thoroughly scammed after attempts to withdraw his funds were blocked unless he paid further amounts. A case under Sections 319 (2), 318 (4), 338, 336 (3), 340 (2) and 61 (2) of the BNS has been registered at the Cyber Crime police station against the unidentified accused.Thirty years: Renaissance Quebec celebrates its social, economic and environmental missions

For Lincoln mother Sierra Shouse, there was no other option but to send her oldest son Sammy to Christ Lincoln Schools for kindergarten, even if it was a financial burden. Shouse went to school there herself, and Sammy was enrolled in the school's day care program at age 4, helping him build friendships and familiarity with the school staff. "It's the only school he's ever known," Shouse said. Shouse was aided in paying for the private school through an opportunity scholarship provided by LB1402, which passed the Legislature earlier this year, appropriating $10 million per year for scholarships to private schools. Shouse said she intends to keep Sammy enrolled at Christ Lincoln no matter what, but after LB1402's program was repealed through a voter referendum, the future of her two younger children is still up in the air.

Supporters of LB1402 in the Nebraska Legislature are working out the best way to approach "school choice" policies, while families who benefited from the scholarships are left in a state of limbo, unsure if they will continue seeing the same support. Meanwhile, a Nebraska Supreme Court ruling from September could affect future moves to provide public money for private school students. How did Nebraska get here? For the past eight years, state Sen. Lou Ann Linehan of the Omaha area has championed "school choice" legislation. Most of her proposals came up short, until LB753 passed in 2023, allocating $25 million annually in tax credits for private donations to the private school scholarship funds. That bill also faced a repeal through a voter referendum, led by Support Our Schools Nebraska. Opponents to LB753 and LB1402 argued the bills would deplete state funding available for public schools, which could lead to budget cuts and property tax increases. The first Support Our Schools referendum qualified for the ballot, but to get around the referendum, Linehan introduced LB1402 in 2024, which repealed LB753 upon its passage. Linehan acknowledged LB1402 was an " end run " bill intended to circumvent the referendum. In response, Support Our Schools launched a new ballot initiative campaign to partially repeal LB1402, getting rid of the underlying program, but retaining the LB753 repeal. Once again, supporters gathered enough signatures in their petition drive to qualify for the ballot. The second referendum faced attempts to remove it from the ballot, several of which came directly from Linehan. It also survived a challenge in the Nebraska Supreme Court in September, and Support Our Schools leader Tim Royers said he expected more opposition in the months leading up to November. Linehan, who did host one news conference days before the election to combat a Support Our Schools ad, said the reason she didn't try harder to oppose the referendum was simply because she felt it didn't make sense to sink a ton of funds to protect a program that only appropriated $10 million each year. "We're not going to spend $10 million to save $10 million," Linehan said. Royers noted, however, that in 2023, Keep Kids First, a group with which Linehan was affiliated, raised more than $1.4 million to oppose the first Support Our Schools referendum. Support Our Schools raised about $1.7 million that year, and raised an additional $4.6 million so far this year. What's next for Nebraska 'school choice'? The landscape for "school choice" policy is sure to look different in the 2025 session, if only because Linehan is term-limited and will not be returning. Royers said he can't imagine another lawmaker emerging with the same level of commitment Linehan brought. But Linehan says she's not worried. She said there's "more than a handful" of current senators willing to take up the mantle, and she was also optimistic about several incoming lawmakers who will be starting their first terms next year. She mentioned Omaha Sens. Brad Von Gillern and Christy Armendariz, both of whom told the Omaha World-Herald they were interested in school choice policy, though neither confirmed that they were planning any bills for next session. Possibly the biggest hurdle for "school choice" advocates next year comes from the Nebraska Supreme Court ruling that allowed this year's referendum to stay on the ballot. Plaintiffs argued the measure didn't qualify for the ballot because it violated a provision of the Nebraska Constitution that prohibits voter referendums from affecting direct appropriations. But the high court ruled that since the ballot initiative only sought to repeal a section of LB1402 that didn't include an appropriation, it could be subject to a referendum. The ruling noted that LB1402 had a separate appropriation bill that accompanied it. Linehan said the ruling threatened any and all legislation that came with appropriations, and it could lead to the "death of the A bill," using the legislative shorthand for an appropriations bill. Neither Von Gillern nor Armendariz gave specifics on how lawmakers could approach school choice legislation that would be shielded from a referendum in the wake of the ruling. Linehan argued that appropriation bills aren't even necessary for legislation that allocates funds, describing them as more of a "counting mechanism" than anything else. But Fiscal Analyst Scott Danigole said appropriation bills are necessary for most measures that appropriate state funds, with the only exception he could think of being a bill that shifted funding that had already been appropriated. While it is theoretically possible for lawmakers to do away with appropriation bills, it would require them to get creative, and would likely bring a lot of ripple effects. Although Royers said he would be shocked if no "school choice" policies are introduced in 2025, he believes the overall appetite to debate the issue has lessened in the aftermath of the referendum. Like Linehan, Royers also found encouragement in the the outcome of several legislative races. He said the Legislature will become more "public school friendly" than it was in 2024. "I think everybody is trying to take a break from the 'school choice' fight," he said. Royers said the primary concern for lawmakers should be addressing the educator shortage in Nebraska, which leads to issues like larger class sizes that can affect academic performance. Royers said special education teacher vacancies were 10 times higher last school year than they were in 2013, citing data from the state Department of Education, and Nebraska's colleges aren't producing enough new teachers to fill the gap. What will happen with schools, students who benefited from the program? Meanwhile, the people directly involved in LB1402's program are also trying to figure out their next steps. Jeremy Ekeler, the executive director of Opportunity Scholarships of Nebraska, said the organization is currently tying up loose ends, and trying to see if it can continue on as an organization that operates based on private donations. OSN worked with Odyssey, a national technology vendor that works with five other states to implement similar programs. OSN provided Odyssey with local information, while Odyssey ran the technology that processed the applications and distributed the scholarships directly to eligible schools based on LB1402's guidelines. According to Ekeler, between LB753 and LB1402, roughly 5,500 scholarships were issued, averaging about $2,300 per student. For LB1402's program, about $9.2 million overall was distributed in scholarships. Those scholarships are still good through the end of this academic year, but they will not continue into the 2025-26 school year. That will make the budget tighter for Omaha Street School, where Principal Anthony Williams said 12 of the school's 35 students received scholarships this year through LB1402. The average cost to educate each student is roughly $23,000 per year, Williams said. All of their families use some form of financial aid, and Williams said the school tailors its tuition to the financial needs of each family, ranging from $30 to $550 per month. Without outside support, he said the school has to eat the remaining costs. "Sometimes, we got to pinch pennies," Williams said. Williams said LB1402's program expiring will not mean any of the current students will not be able to continue learning at the school. In fact, he said the school may be able to stretch the scholarship funds through the following school year. Shouse said she intends to keep Sammy enrolled at Christ Lincoln, but she is not sure about her younger two children, which she said is a "heartbreaking" dilemma. Her younger children, 3 and 1, respectively, are already enrolled in Christ Lincoln's daycare and pre-school programs. Shouse is a single mother, and provides the sole income for her family. During Sammy's first year of kindergarten, he did not have a scholarship, which Shouse said placed a heavy financial burden on her. That took the form of multiple small sacrifices, from having breakfast for dinner because it was cheaper, to telling Sammy he couldn't attend a friend's birthday party because she couldn't afford to buy a present. "There was a lot of tears," Shouse said. "There's always been a lot of tears." There are several reasons why Shouse hasn't considered public school an option for any of her children. Primarily, she said Christ Lincoln best aligns with her family values. She's also concerned that the larger class sizes would mean her children wouldn't get the individualized care they need. Two of her children, including Sammy, have IEPs. When it was first recommended to Shouse that Sammy repeat kindergarten based on his speech therapy needs and emerging academic concerns, she said she sought out summer school options for him through Lincoln Public Schools, but was denied because his needs weren't severe enough. She said LPS officials told her there was no reason to delay his advancement to first grade, which she said exemplified that they were not properly attuned to her son's needs. "It's not a school board's decision what's best for my child," Shouse said.Kelowna, Vernon teams crowned B.C. U18 curling champs in Kimberley
By Trevor Hass, The Boston Globe In an unpredictable season filled with surges and setbacks, consistency has eluded the Boston College football team. The Eagles, who have been on the hunt for a complete game ever since a drubbing of Duquesne in Week 2, finally found one Saturday against North Carolina. BC dominated on both sides of the ball, running away with a resounding 41-21 triumph at Alumni Stadium. The Eagles (6-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) intercepted three passes, stopped the Tar Heels (6-5, 3-4) on their first 10 third-down attempts, and commanded possession. Boston College is bowl eligible for the eighth time in nine seasons and has won five games at home for the first time since 2018. “It hasn’t been perfect, don’t get me wrong, but these kids have really worked hard for us,” first-year coach Bill O’Brien said. “I’m very happy for them. It’s very well earned.” On the 40-year anniversary of the Miracle in Miami , and with members of that team in attendance, BC put forth a throwback performance. O’Brien said he showed the final drive to his team Friday to hammer home what playing until the very end looks like. “There’s a lot of tradition here at Boston College,” O’Brien said. “For those guys to be here meant a lot to our program.” The Eagles played inspired, together football from the start. They orchestrated two methodical 13-play scoring drives to open the game, overpowering the Tar Heels at the line of scrimmage. The first drive ended with a 49-yard Liam Connor field goal that crept over the crossbar, and the second yielded a 3-yard touchdown run by quarterback Grayson James. Boston College did its damage primarily in the air in the first half. UNC prioritized stopping the run, and Lewis Bond (9 catches, 81 yards) and the Eagles took advantage. “We got things going early,” James said. “We played our brand of football.” A 24-yard touchdown run from Johnathan Montague Jr., on a well-disguised end-around, pushed the margin to 17-0 at 9:05 of the second quarter. North Carolina got on the board when Chris Culliver returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards to make it 17-7. BC ensured UNC didn’t keep momentum for long. After closing out the half poorly in a loss to Southern Methodist the week prior, the Eagles finished it with conviction Saturday. “We’ve had these leads throughout the season,” BC linebacker Joe Marinaro said. “We need to keep building those leads, make them insurmountable leads, and keep the foot on the gas. That’s something we know we’ve needed to improve on this year, and I think we did a really good job of that today.” Marinaro intercepted a Jacolby Criswell pass and returned it 18 yards to the UNC 32, eliciting the one of the most enthusiastic celebrations of the season from the BC sideline. Marinaro, a former walk-on who became a captain this season, continues to fill in admirably with BC short at linebacker. The pick paved the way for an 18-yard TD pass from James (18 for 27, 192 yards) to Reed Harris with 40 seconds left in the half. James aired the ball out past two defenders to where only the 6-foot-5-inch Harris could corral it. “I don’t think anything can replace experience,” James said. “I feel like I’ve gotten better every game that I played in, and every practice as well. Game reps are paramount. I’m comfortable with the guys out there, and they’re comfortable with me.” Donovan Ezeiruaku sacked Criswell on UNC’s next possession, and Carter Davis picked off a pass in the end zone to cement the Eagles’ 24-7 halftime advantage. BC neutralized star running back Omarion Hampton — who entered the day second in the nation in rushing yards — by holding him to 23 yards on six carries in the first half and 53 yards total on 11 attempts. The Eagles limited the ACC’s top running attack to -3 rushing yards in the half and held a 240-77 edge in net total yards, while dominating possession 20:33 to 9:27. Boston College kept it rolling early in the third quarter, as an Isaiah Farris 52-yard punt return set up a 27-yard Connor field goal to make it 27-7 heading to the fourth. The Eagles extended the margin to 34-7 with 12:38 left, when pressure from Neto Okpala led to a 78-yard pick-6 from Ryan Turner. “Ryan Turner has gone from the bottom of the depth chart to the top of the depth chart,” O’Brien said. “He’s earned it. He’s stuck with it. It hasn’t been easy for him.” Kye Robichaux (23 carries, 93 yards) added an 8-yard TD rush in the final minutes. UNC scored twice in the game’s last 2:09, on two rushes from Davion Gause, but the outcome had been decided long before that. The defensive line dictated the action, as the Eagles finished with seven sacks and kept Criswell out of rhythm. BC racked up 420 net total yards, to just 212 for UNC, as the Tar Heels averaged 1.4 yards per rush and had 13 total first downs. “The D-line played really well,” O’Brien said. “They probably played their best game.” It was just one game, but it showed how dangerous this Eagles team can be when everything is clicking. Boston College welcomes Pittsburgh (7-3, 3-3) to town next Saturday at 3 p.m. to close out the regular season . The Eagles have bigger goals, but this one served as a milestone as they know they’ll be playing into December. “We feel like we’ve left a couple weeks out there on the table,” center Drew Kendall said. “We just had to go out there and execute for a full 60 minutes, and that’s what we did today.” Get the latest Boston sports news Receive updates on your favorite Boston teams, straight from our newsroom to your inbox.

The former NFL star notably signed a ten-year Fox deal - worth $375 million - back in September. 'At first, everything stings. Her getting pregnant, her hanging out with Joaquim, her moving on. But then he snaps out of it and remains busy, knows that his life is pretty good and to worry about things he can't control is a waste of time.' The insider added, 'He could complain but what's the point. He got the best out of the relationship with Gisele until it fell apart, now it's not his problem anymore. He will be fine.' A source recently told DailyMail.com how Gisele and Joaquim broke the pregnancy news to Brady. The model informed Tom that she was expecting her first child with Valente shortly after telling their children because she wanted him to hear it from her first - rather than through media reports. 'Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him.' 'She knew that he would be a great father when her kids started taking classes with him. He is patient, playful and so understanding,' the insider stated. Last month in November, Tom notably shared a cryptic quote about 'failing' and 'coming short' in the wake of Gisele's pregnancy bombshell; seen in November in NYC Bundchen and Brady were married from 2009 until their divorce in 2022. Along with Benjamin and Vivian, the football player is also father to son, Jack, 17, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan; seen in 2019 in NYC Both Benjamin and Vivian are 'absolutely thrilled' over the big news, the source also shared. Gisele and Valente first started dating last year in June, but Tom Brady 'never imagined' that the model would have a child with Joaquim, per Page Six . Her pregnancy was not on his 'radar' and the news last week had left him, 'stunned, to say the least.' A source told Us Weekly in October that both Benjamin and Vivian 'really like' Joaquim and added he has been 'living at [Bundchen's] house in Miami for while.' After the pregnancy news came to light, a separate insider told People that Gisele is 'excited to embrace this new chapter openly.' After the pregnancy news came to light, a separate insider told People that Gisele is 'excited to embrace this new chapter openly'; seen in April in Switzerland The beauty has since 'received many positive messages and congratulations' and had initially wanted to keep her pregnancy 'private for as long as she could, doing so was starting to be a challenge.' Bundchen 'feels good' and is doing 'pilates and other exercises that will help with birth, too.' The source further told the outlet that Gisele has 'always taken amazing care of herself' and 'eats healthy and meditates as well.' Bundchen is also taking 'a step back from work to focus on her pregnancy.'

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told NBC New York in an interview Thursday that investigators have uncovered evidence that Luigi Mangione had prior knowledge UnitedHealthcare was holding its annual investor conference in New York City. Mangione also mentioned the company in a note found in his possession when he was detained by police in Pennsylvania. Suspect Luigi Mangione is taken into the Blair County Courthouse on Tuesday in Hollidaysburg, Pa. "We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest healthcare organization in America. So that's possibly why he targeted that company," Kenny said. UnitedHealthcare is in the top 20 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization but is not the fifth largest. It is the largest U.S. health insurer. Mangione remains jailed without bail in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested Monday after being spotted at a McDonald's in the city of Altoona, about 230 miles west of New York City. His lawyer there, Thomas Dickey, said Mangione intends to plead not guilty. Dickey also said he had yet to see evidence decisively linking his client to the crime. Mangione's arrest came five days after the caught-on-camera killing of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel. Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, was arrested on December 9, 2024, after a six-day manhunt and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. His arrest has sparked a viral social media movement, with many hailing him as a symbol of resistance against systemic healthcare failures. The #FreeLuigi movement gained significant traction, with his social media profiles amassing over 100,000 new followers before being suspended. Despite this, the movement continues to trend, highlighting public discontent with the U.S. healthcare system. Some social media users argue that Mangione's radicalization stemmed from the struggles faced by millions in obtaining necessary healthcare, and not from his university education. Mangione’s arrest at a McDonald's in Altoona led to the seizure of a "ghost gun," a suppressor, fake IDs, and a manifesto criticizing the healthcare system. While the manifesto seems to admit guilt, some users question Mangione's responsibility, pointing out discrepancies in surveillance photos. The fascination with Mangione has only intensified, with discussions about his attractiveness and comparisons to characters in Ryan Murphy's productions. The phenomenon is reminiscent of society's long-standing obsession with infamous criminals, blurring lines between horror and hero worship. Former FBI agent Rob D’Amico noted that Mangione is seen by some as a "Robin Hood" figure fighting against corporate greed, which complicates the investigation. Police say the shooter waited outside the hotel, where the health insurer was holding its investor conference, early Dec. 4. He approached Thompson from behind and shot him before fleeing on a bicycle through Central Park. Mangione is fighting attempts to extradite him back to New York so that he can face a murder charge in Thompson's killing. A hearing was scheduled for Dec. 30. The 26-year-old, who police say was found with a " ghost gun " matching shell casings found at the site of the shooting, is charged in Pennsylvania with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Luigi Mangione was arrested Monday in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in what law enforcement has called a "targeted attack." Mangione is from a prominent Maryland family with extensive business interests. The Mangione family is known for developing real estate and running businesses. Relatives expressed shock over the arrest and offered condolences to Thompson’s family. Mangione faces multiple charges, including murder, firearm possession, and forgery, in New York and Pennsylvania. Mangione is an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family. In posts on social media, Mangione wrote about experiencing severe chronic back pain before undergoing a spinal fusion surgery in 2023. Afterward, he posted that the operation was a success and that his pain improved and mobility returned. He urged others to consider the same type of surgery. On Wednesday, police said investigators are looking at his writings about his health problems and his criticism of corporate America and the U.S. health care system. Kenny said in the NBC interview that Mangione's family reported him missing to San Francisco authorities in November.

Dimopoulos, who played quarterback in high school, also converted the two-point conversion when he passed it to quarterback Josh Holst for his second completion of the season.

Fresno State started overtime with a touchdown when Bryson Donelson was left wide open out of the backfield to haul in a 9-yard touchdown pass. NIU needed five plays, and a defensive holding penalty, to score as Holst found Grayson Barnes for a 3-yard touchdown. Donelson finished with 15 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown for Fresno State (6-7). He added three catches for 28 yards and another score.
