Patterson Cos. Going Private in $4.1B Deal After more than thirty years as a publicly traded company, Mendota Heights-based will be taken private under a deal announced Wednesday. , a California-based private equity firm targeting health care companies, has agreed to pay $31.35 in cash per share for the company. That amounts to about $4.1 billion in total. Patterson, which reported more than $6.5 billion in net sales in its 2024 fiscal year, is a maker of dental equipment and veterinary supplies. “While Patterson will become a private company after the completion of the transaction, it does not change our core values,” Patterson president and CEO Don Zurbay said in a note to employees this morning. “I am thrilled about the prospects for Patterson’s future. I believe in our strategic plan, employees, customers, and partners. We have a unique opportunity in front of us, and I hope you share our enthusiasm for the opportunities ahead.” Pending regulatory approval, the deal is slated to close sometime in April, when Patterson’s fiscal year ends. Terms of the deal state that the Minnesota company can search for a better offer over the next 40 days, though . If the deal goes through, Patterson will still keep its headquarters in Minnesota. In its 2024 fiscal year, Patterson reported total net income of $185.5 million, down slightly from $185.9 million in the prior year. As of April 2024, the company employed 7,600 full-time workers in total, with about 6,200 of those working in the United States, according to the company’s most recent annual report issued in June. Patterson’s animal health division has become the company’s biggest source of revenue over the years, despite the fact that the firm was founded nearly 150 years ago as a dental supply company. In its 2024 fiscal year, the animal health segment was responsible for about $4 billion in sales compared to nearly $2.5 billion in sales for its dental business. E-commerce, meanwhile, has become an “an integral part of dental and animal health supply and distribution relationships,” the company said in its most recent annual filing. “Our distribution business is characterized by rapid technological developments and intense competition. The continuing advancement of online commerce requires us to cost-effectively adapt to changing technologies, to enhance existing services and to develop and introduce a variety of new services to address the changing demands of consumers and our customers on a timely basis, particularly in response to competitive offerings.”Keith Higgins Jr. scores 22 to lead Lehigh to 87-67 victory over Neumann

Should You Buy Nvidia Stock Before 2025?FORESTVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A major storm moving through Northern California on Thursday toppled trees and dropped heavy snow and record rain after damaging homes, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands in the Pacific Northwest. Forecasters warned that the risk of flash flooding and rockslides would continue, and scores of flights were canceled at San Francisco's airport. In Washington, more than 320,000 people — most of them in the Seattle area — were still without power as crews worked to clear streets of electrical lines, fallen branches and debris. Utility officials said the outages, which began Tuesday, could last into Saturday. Meanwhile on the East Coast, where rare wildfires have raged, New York and New Jersey welcomed much-needed rain that could ease the fire danger for the rest of the year. The National Weather Service extended a flood watch into Saturday for areas north of San Francisco as the region was inundated by the strongest atmospheric river — a long plume of moisture that forms over an ocean and flows through the sky over land — this season. The system roared ashore Tuesday as a “bomb cyclone,” unleashing fierce winds . Communities in Washington opened warming centers offering free internet and device charging. A number of medical clinics closed because of power outages. “I’ve been here since the mid-’80s. I haven’t seen anything like this,” said Trish Bloor, who serves on the city of Issaquah’s Human Resources Commission, as she surveyed damaged homes. Up to 16 inches (about 41 centimeters) of rain was forecast in southwestern Oregon and California's northern counties through Friday. The Sonoma County Airport, in the wine country north of San Francisco, received 6.92 inches (17.5 centimeters) Wednesday, breaking a record dating to 1998. In nearby Forestville, one person was hurt when a tree fell on a house. Small landslides were reported across the North Bay region, including one on State Route 281 on Wednesday that caused a car crash, according to Marc Chenard, a weather service meteorologist. Rain slowed somewhat, but “persistent heavy rain will enter the picture again by Friday morning,” the weather service's San Francisco office said on the social platform X. “We are not done!” Dangerous flash flooding, rockslides and debris flows were possible, especially where hillsides were loosened by recent wildfires, officials warned. Scott Rowe, a hydrologist with the weather service in Sacramento, said that so far the ground has been able to absorb the rain in California's Butte and Tehama counties, where the Park Fire burned over the summer. “It’s not necessarily how much rain falls; it’s how fast the rain falls,” Rowe said. Northern Mendocino and southern Humboldt counties received between 4 and 8 inches (10 and 20 centimeters) of rain in the last 48 hours, and similar amounts were expected over the next 48 hours, forecasters said. Wind gusts could top 50 mph (80 kph). The storm system, which first hit the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday, reached the status of “ bomb cyclone ,” which occurs when a cyclone intensifies rapidly. A winter storm watch was in place for the northern Sierra Nevada above 3,500 feet (1,066 meters), with 15 inches (38 centimeters) of snow possible over two days. Wind gusts could top 75 mph (121 kph) in mountain areas, forecasters said. Sugar Bowl Resort, north of Lake Tahoe near Donner Summit, picked up a foot (30 centimeters) of snow overnight, marketing manager Maggie Eshbaugh said Thursday. She said the resort will welcome skiers and boarders on Friday, the earliest opening date in 20 years. “And then we’re going to get another whopping of another foot or so on Saturday, so this is fantastic,” she said. Another popular resort, Palisades Tahoe, is also opening Friday, five days ahead of schedule, according to its website. The storm already dumped more than a foot of snow along the Cascades in Oregon by Wednesday night, according to the weather service. Forecasters warned of blizzard and whiteout conditions and nearly impossible travel at pass level. Falling trees struck homes and littered roads across western Washington, killing at least two people. A woman in Lynnwood was killed when a large tree fell on a homeless encampment, and another in Bellevue died when a tree fell on a home. More than a dozen schools closed in the Seattle area Wednesday, and some opted to extend the closures through Thursday. In Enumclaw, east of Seattle, residents were cleaning up after their town clocked the highest winds in the state Tuesday night: 74 mph (119 kph). Resident Sophie Keene said the powerful gusts caused transformers to blow out around town. “Things were exploding, like, everywhere,” Keene told the Seattle Times. “Like the transformers over by the park. One blew big, it looked like fireworks just going off.” Ben Gibbard, lead singer of the indie rock bands Death Cab for Cutie and Postal Service, drove from his Seattle neighborhood Thursday morning to the woods of Tiger Mountain for his regular weekday run, but there were too many trees blocking the trail. “We didn’t get hit that hard in the city,” he said. “I just didn’t assume it would be this kind of situation out here. Obviously you feel the most for people who had their homes partially destroyed by this.” In California, there were reports of more than 20,000 power outages on Thursday. Only 50 vehicles per hour were allowed through part of northbound Interstate 5 from 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of Redding to 21 miles (34 kilometers) south of Yreka due to snow, according to California's Department of Transportation. Transportation officials also shut down a two-mile (3.2 kilometer) stretch of the famed Avenue of the Giants, a scenic drive named for its towering coast redwoods, due to flooding. About 150 flights were delayed and another two dozen were canceled early Thursday at San Francisco International Airport after hundreds of delays and dozens of cancelations the previous day, according to tracking service FlightAware. Parched areas of the Northeast got a much-needed shot of precipitation Thursday, providing a bit of respite in a region plagued by wildfires and dwindling water supplies. More than 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain was expected by Saturday morning in areas north of New York City, with snow mixed in at higher elevations. “Any rainfall is going to be significant at this point,” said Brian Ciemnecki, a weather service meteorologist in New York City, where the first drought warning in 22 years was issued this week. “Is it going to break the drought? No, we’re going to need more rain than that.” ___ Har reported from San Francisco, and Weber from Los Angeles.

WHITE SALMON — A more experienced Columbia High girls basketball team is hoping to have more success this year in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) Class 1A Trico League. The Bruins, guided by third-year Coach Justin Frazier, started practice Nov. 18 in preparation for a 20-game 2024-2025 schedule. The Bruins play their season opener Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. at Goldendale. “The team has definitely grown quite a bit from last year in terms of their maturity level, so we’ll see how much that helps our team improve this year,” said Frazier. “It’s nice to have everyone coming back this year after getting a year of experience last season.” The young Bruins, with one senior (Sheyenne Antis), have their entire team returning from last season, when they (three freshmen) won six games. “We’re really looking forward to seeing Sheyenne helping provide leadership for the team along with a good strong core of juniors including center Sara Miller, Halle Kock, and Joella Posini, who will be starters for us again this year,” Frazier said. “They have a year underneath their belt, and they all worked pretty hard during the summer to become better players. The summer league schedule and the summer camp that they participated in really helped the girls a lot.” Frazier said the players improved physically, becoming stronger and more mature. “Our sophomores Taniah Barajas, Madison Russum, and Kierra Bucher will also be expected to provide valuable contributions, too, with their scoring and rebounding ability,” said Frazier. “Freshman Mckena Carlock is going to be our starting point guard and she’ll be a great addition to the team this year. She’s young but she played outstanding during the summer league and she’s been very impressive at practice.” The Bruins, who play their first home game Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. versus Hockinson, begin a 15-game Trico schedule Dec. 18 at home versus King’s Way Christian. The Knights are traditionally a strong team in the eight-team Trico. “Having another year of experience really helped to elevate talent level for the girls and they’ve all been competing really hard in practice,” said Frazier. “They’re putting in the time to help them improve and they also have a very positive attitude, which is going to help our team tremendously.”Maldives hosts High-Level Policy Forum of SAARC agriculture sectorJim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers celebrated in the locker room Saturday after they wrapped up a playoff spot with a 40-7 victory over the New England Patriots . But even as they realized one goal by making the postseason, Harbaugh tried to keep things focused on the road ahead by stressing: “There’s more to do.” The Chargers (10-6) go into the regular-season finale at Las Vegas knowing they will be at least the AFC’s sixth seed and avoid a trip to Buffalo for the wild-card round. Los Angeles currently is in line to face Baltimore in a Harbaugh Bowl rematch, but it has an outside shot at the fifth seed and a trip to Houston if Cincinnati beats Pittsburgh next weekend. While Harbaugh credited his players for the turnaround from five wins last year to double-digit victories this season, Herbert gave most of it to Harbaugh and first-year general manager Joe Hortiz. “They have done such a great job of getting the right guys here. You look in the locker room and everybody plays for each other,” Herbert said. “(Harbaugh’s) a competitor, and he wants to win no matter what it is. It definitely shows, and it’s the way everyone fights for him, wants to play for him, and respects him.” RELATED COVERAGE Eagles QB Tanner McKee gets 1st career TD football back with a little help from fans in the stands Like a football off McBride’s helmet, the Cardinals aren’t getting many lucky bounces these days Giants topple Colts 45-33 to eliminate Indy from the playoff race Harbaugh is the fifth coach in NFL history to win at least 10 games in his first season with two teams. He is also the eighth to make the playoffs in his first season with two teams. “Very little to do with me. If it goes right, then it’s our players. They’re doing a great job. It’s gone bad a couple times. That’s on me,” he said. “I’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid here from day one, I can’t give enough credit to Derwin James, Justin Herbert, and those two in particular. And Khalil Mack and Rashawn Slater. I mean, stalwarts. Brad Bozeman has come in. He’s been a stalwart. There’s a bunch. There’s probably, like — I counted it up early. There was maybe 15, 15 stalwarts that we had, and it’s grown since then.” Even though the Chargers are 3-5 against teams with winning records at the time they’ve played them, they are 7-1 against teams that were at or under .500. Four of those wins against opponents with losing records have come by at least 17 points, the first time since 2017 the Bolts have won that many games by as big a margin. Since halftime of their Dec. 19 game against Denver, the Chargers have outscored the Broncos and Patriots 61-13 over six quarters. “That’s the type of football we want to be playing in December, January, and hopefully on. That’s the type of football you want to be playing, especially in these big games like that. It was really good to see,” Herbert said. What’s working Offensive coordinator Greg Roman has said throughout the season it’s tough to use the full playbook when the Chargers have short drives. They came into Saturday’s game ranked 26th with only 23 possessions of at least 10 plays, but they had four against the Patriots, leading to three touchdowns and a field goal. It was the first time since Week 10 last season against Detroit they have had at least four drives of double-digit plays. What needs help Kickoff return coverage. The Chargers have allowed nine kick returns of at least 30 yards, eighth most in the league. New England’s Alex Erickson had three returns for 90 yards, including 34 and 31 yards. Stock up RB J.K. Dobbins was activated off injured reserve and provided a boost to the offense with 76 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown. Dobbins, who missed four games due to a knee injury, has set career highs in scrimmage yards (983) and rushing yards (842) in his first season with the Chargers. Stock down WR D.J. Chark was targeted four times but didn’t have a catch. Chark was signed during the offseason to provide experience and speed to a young receiver group. However, he missed the first half of the season with a hip injury and has played sparingly since his return. He has three receptions on the season. Injuries Three starters — RB Gus Edwards (ankle), LB Denzel Perryman (groin) and OG Trey Pipkins (hip) — were inactive. WR Joshua Palmer (heel) and DB Elijah Molden (shin) were injured in the second half. Key numbers 77 and 1,054 — Receptions and receiving yards by Ladd McConkey, both records for a Chargers rookie. 5 — Consecutive seasons by Herbert with at least 3,000 passing yards and 20 touchdown passes, tied with Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson for the most to start a career. 2 — Sacks by Derwin James Jr. against the Patriots, the first time in the safety’s seven-year career he has had multiple sacks in a game. What’s next The Chargers go for their first season sweep of the Raiders since 2018 in the regular-season finale. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

At the same, they’ve also seemingly steered into their identity behind a top group of offensive linemen and the incredible talent of Barkley.

While the first official trailer from Rockstar Games confirmed many features coming to "GTA VI," the latest discovery is now confirming more of the game's experiences arriving soon. One of the most important claims here was that Rockstar Games is still planning to deliver a PC version of the game, but as revealed by the company, it will first focus on its console availability above all else. Redditors shared a to the r/GTA6 community which expands more on what Rockstar Games has to offer for its upcoming action RPG title, "Grand Theft Auto VI," which offers more about the next game. The aforementioned screenshot was from a LinkedIn profile of an anonymous Rockstar Games employee which detailed the many features available soon. First, the employee regarded that he has been part of Rockstar since 2020 and has since worked on helping develop the 'RAGE' engine which combines factors like AI, physics, and more to ensure "open world environments and simulation." Next, they were also tasked with integrating advanced technologies for game development, including a technical system known as ray-tracing which is best known to improve the game's scenes and environment. Lastly, it was also revealed that Rockstar Games is planning to develop a port or version of "Grand Theft Auto VI" for the PC gaming platforms, but it is to be expected at a later date compared to consoles. It is known that past Rockstar games came to PC after they made their debut on dedicated gaming platforms. The source of the latest leak claimed to be a Rockstar Games employee who did not intend to share these intricate details behind the game but only describe his position and responsibilities to the employment-focused social network.That being said, this piece of information remains a significant leak behind the RPG sandbox game after Rockstar Games went MIA (missing in action) regarding the game's development this year. Fans and players are currently awaiting the tidbits from Rockstar regarding "GTA VI's" development, but the company is yet to release a new trailer that is expected to either bring a deeper dive into its story, offer a preview of its gameplay, or share more information behind it. Rockstar Games took its time in developing a sequel to its 2013 game and the last mainline release of the franchise, with many rallying to the company to confirm the game and share a trailer for all. This finally marked the long years of torment awaiting "Grand Theft Auto VI," with its confirming the game's return to Vice City after many years of focusing on Los Santos and Liberty City. It was also previously rumored that gamers may have to wait for the game because of delays that push it back to 2026, around a year after the promised Spring 2025 release date for "Grand Theft Auto VI."

Barilla and Meals on Wheels America Unite for Connection Kitchen Food Truck to Help End the Wait TM for Seniors Hoping to Receive Nutritious Meals and Meaningful Connection NORTHBROOK, Ill. , Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Barilla, the world's leading pasta maker, believes in the joy of food for a better life and knows that the most joyful meals aren't enjoyed alone. That's why this holiday season, the pasta company is on a mission to spread joy and combat loneliness through its first signature giving event, the Barilla Connection Kitchen food truck. This year Barilla America, which is headquartered in Northbrook Illinois , is partnering with Meals on Wheels America to help End the Wait TM for seniors who struggle with hunger and isolation. Across the country, local Meals on Wheels programs serve nutritious meals and meaningful connections to seniors in their communities, but limited funding and volunteers force one in three programs to keep a waitlist. Through the Connection Kitchen program, Barilla is helping bring to life a new plan to End the Wait TM for millions of seniors who need Meals on Wheels. In addition to helping to inspire and recruit volunteers for Meals on Wheels Chicago and programs across the country, Barilla is supporting national efforts to End the Wait by donating $250,000 to Meals on Wheels America. Launching during the holiday giving season, the Connection Kitchen pop-up food truck will take to the streets of Chicago to serve delectable pasta dishes, spreading warmth and joy, with a suggestion to sign up to volunteer with Meals on Wheels Chicago while enjoying their pasta. The food truck will be stationed at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago on Friday, December 6 th from 12pm-3pm CT and at Oakbrook Center on Saturday, December 7 th from 11am-5pm CT . All pasta will be served free of charge to the public with the centralized mission to spread awareness of important connections and joy this holiday season. "At Barilla, we know the most joyful meals are meant to be shared," said Laura Birk , Vice President of Human Resources, Barilla America. "In fact, research we recently conducted in collaboration with the University of Minnesota showed that 60% of individuals acknowledged eating alone more often over the past two years. That said, people who embraced sharing meals with others on a weekly basis experienced notable improvement in their mental well-being. What better way to spread this joy of food than by helping Meals on Wheels Chicago connect people within the local community?" Barilla's head Chef Lorenzo Boni curated the Connection Kitchen menu to ignite the holiday spirit. At the Connection Kitchen, Chicagoans can choose from the following classic Italian recipes: Snowfall Cacio e Pepe, a modern twist on a beloved Italian classic, this recipe uses Barilla's newest holiday pasta shape, Snowfall. Creamy Mushroom Farfalle, uses Barilla Farfalle pasta with porcini mushrooms and makes for a cozy recipe. The bow-tie shape is sure to remind fans of holiday bows and gifts! Rigatoni Amatriciana, which uses Barilla Rigatoni, this classic Roman dish hopes to transport pasta fans to the streets of Rome with just one bite! "At Meals on Wheels America, we're thankful for Barilla's partnership helping us End the Wait, which is to ultimately ensure that every senior who needs Meals on Wheels, gets it," said Ellie Hollander , President and Chief Executive Officer at Meals on Wheels America. "As Barilla encourages those in their own backyard to support the local Meals on Wheels Chicago program, we hope this inspires others around the country to do the same by donating to and volunteering with the Meals on Wheels program in their own community." "This partnership encourages the local Chicago community to get involved and help the Meals on Wheels network End the Wait TM for the thousands of seniors in our community who face hunger and isolation each year," said Cory Morris , Director of Community Impact, Meals on Wheels Chicago. "In Chicago, 8 out of 10 seniors served by Meals on Wheels report that their delivery driver is their primary social contact, on any given day. With Barilla's help, we're raising awareness of this need for more volunteer resources in order to build more of these moments of connection."

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Australia’s sharemarket is likely to open lower after a sell-off in the world’s largest technology companies hit US stocks in the final stretch of a stellar year. Futures are pointing to a drop of 0.35 per cent, or 29 points, on Monday morning across the local bourse, to 8228, as traders take stock of a pullback in the US last week. Nasdaq, one of the “Magnificent Seven” companies, bore the brunt of last week’s selling. Credit: Bloomberg In the US, during a session of slim trading volume – which tends to amplify moves – the S&P 500 lost 1.1 per cent and the Nasdaq 100 slipped 1.4 per cent. While every major industry succumbed to Friday’s slide, tech megacaps bore the brunt of the selling. That’s after a torrid surge in which the group of companies dubbed the “Magnificent Seven” accounted for more than half of the US equity benchmark’s gains in 2024. “I think Santa has already come. Have you seen the performance this year?” said Kenny Polcari from financial advising firm SlateStone Wealth. “[This] week is another holiday-shortened week, volumes will be light, moves will be exaggerated. Don’t make any major investing decisions this week.” Steve Sosnick, from Interactive Brokers said while the market was in holiday season, he had fielded more inquiries than expected. Loading “The best I can figure out is that there are large accounts, pension funds and the like, who need to rebalance their holdings before year-end,” he said. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 trimmed last week’s gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.8 per cent on Friday. A gauge of the “Magnificent Seven” sank 2 per cent, led by losses in Tesla and Nvidia. The Russell 2000 index of small caps dropped 1.6 per cent. The yield on 10-year Treasuries rose 4 basis points to 4.62 per cent. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index wavered.Social media users, brace yourselves. Your timeline is about to be flooded with high school coaches looking to fill out their 2025 schedules. Such tends to happen whenever the TSSAA releases its region football schedules, especially whenever realignments are involved. William Blount’s move down to 5A left a void in Region 1-6A, a void which evidently won’t be filled. With a five-team Big East Conference, that leaves each school with six non-region games to be filled. Thankfully, the rivalry between Science Hill and Dobyns-Bennett didn’t get moved. It’ll still be in Week 11 for the next two years anyway, this time on Thursday, Oct. 30. Other than that game, Dobyns-Bennett must build the rest of its schedule around three straight region games against Morristown East, West Ridge and Jefferson County from Sept. 19 to Oct. 3. The Indians requested an open date following the Jeff County game, leaving two more weeks to fill before playing Science Hill first straight non-conference tilts to open the year. Science Hill is scheduled to play Morristown East and Jefferson County back-to-back weeks also — Weeks 6 and 7. That means the Hilltoppers won’t play a region game until Sept. 26 — also the date West Ridge opens Big East play against D-B. The Wolves close the 2025 and 2026 regular seasons with three straight region games. Not to mention, only one team in the Big East will miss the Class 6A playoffs. Of course, few teams have it as tough as Happy Valley and the Warriors’ Region 1-2A rivals — South Greene, West Greene and Cumberland Gap. All four teams are already in the playoffs under the current format. And while Happy Valley can presumably fill its non-region slate with Carter County rivals Hampton, Unaka and Cloudland, that still leaves four non-conference openings. BACK IN ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE What better lead-in to that tradition rich rivalry between D-B and Science Hill than the Musket Bowl? That’s right, in 2025, the annual meeting between Daniel Boone and David Crockett returns to its rightful October place. It’ll stay at Crockett this fall, except this time, the teams will meet Friday, Oct. 24 (Week 10). Granted, the Hawkins County Super Bowl might have something to say about that, as Cherokee and Volunteer meet in Church Hill that same night. On that note, while Regions 1-5A and 1-3A remained unchanged with five region contests and five more out-of-conference, Region 1-4A is in a completely different situation. Each team there needs only three non-region games after Seymour joined the conference. Same in Region 1-1A for that matter. Cloudland opens the year with three non-conference games in as many weeks, finishing the year with seven straight region contests. This became possible after Sunbright relocated from Region 2, and Hampton moved down from Class 2A, of course. THANKSGIVING BASKETBALL CONTINUES With Greeneville falling 28-14 at Anderson County in the Class 4A quarterfinal round, the Tri-Cities area has only one football team remaining — Rye Cove. The War Eagles entertain Eastside in the Region 1D championship round Friday night at the Eagles’ Nest. Thanksgiving week also means tournament time. In addition to the Hardee’s Classic, currently taking place at David Crockett, two other local tournaments also allow teams to get some games in this week. Monday marked opening night for the Food City Thanksgiving Classic at Sullivan East, this year consisting of just boys teams. On the girls side, Happy Valley is hosting the Valley Forge Auction Thanksgiving Classic, which begins with four games on Wednesday afternoon and concludes Saturday. On the web, these tournament schedules can found on the left (desktop) or below (mobile). In print, they can be found on page B2.
