cricket99 bet Bears general manager Ryan Poles was granted a reprieve complete with a second swing at hiring a head coach in Chicago. Poles will interview candidates and select a replacement for Matt Eberflus, who was fired Friday after the Bears' sixth consecutive loss and fourth of the season decided on a final play. "Ryan Poles is the general manager of the Chicago Bears, and he will remain the general manager of the Chicago Bears," president and CEO Kevin Warren said Monday. "Ryan will serve as the point person of our upcoming search for a head football coach. We will closely, we will work together on a daily basis to make sure we have the right person as our head football coach." Warren said the McCaskey family provided "all the resources" to build a championship environment. He confirmed that Thomas Brown, who a month ago was passing game coordinator before replacing Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator, will serve as interim head coach and shift from the press box to the sideline starting this week. Warren did not say whether Brown would automatically receive an interview for the full-time coaching position, which he said "will be the most coveted head coaching job in the National Football League." Poles said consideration will be given to candidates with the plan to develop rookie No. 1 pick Caleb Williams, but there are no set plans to involve the quarterback in the interview process. He said the Bears showed great progress through two seasons but couldn't sustain growth. "At the end of the day, we just came up short too many times," Poles said of firing Eberflus, his pick to be the Bears' head coach in January 2022. Brown promoted wide receivers coach Chris Beatty to interim offensive coordinator on Monday and announced that defensive coordinator Eric Washington will be the defensive play caller, a role Eberflus previously held. Trailing 23-20 on Thanksgiving Day, the Bears were within field-goal range when quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked. With 32 seconds remaining, Eberflus elected not to use his final timeout as Williams heaved an incompletion down the right sideline as time expired. "When you look at the end-of-the-game situations, detailing to finish in some of those moments. We all know a lot of games come down to those critical moments where we weren't able to get over the hump," Poles said. Eberflus said after the game that everything was handled properly and held a press conference via Zoom on Friday voicing confidence he'd have the team ready to play the 49ers this week. But three hours later, he was fired. Warren admitted the franchise could've handled the timing better, but clarified there was no decision on Eberflus' status at the time of his media session. "The decision was made to terminate the employment of head coach Matt Eberflus," Warren said 72 hours later. "We try to do everything in a professional manner. That decision was made on Friday." "Coach Eberflus had his press conference, we had not made a final decision. I think you know me, you know Ryan you know George McCaskey. One thing we stand for is family, integrity, doing it the right way. In retrospect, could we have done it better? Absolutely." Eberflus, 54, went 14-32 in two-plus seasons. The Bears (4-8) travel to San Francisco (5-7) in Week 1. --Field Level Media

Health In Tech Announces Closing of Initial Public OfferingA new ‘barcade’ in the heart of the Exchange District is hoping to be a successful launch title for a new generation of players. "Even the way that the space is set up, where you are almost choosing your own adventure, you're exploring the space, you're discovering new things each time in very much the same way that you would explore a video game,” said Adam Bumbolo, Co-owner of Fireside Design-Build. Ahead of an anticipated opening in January, walking into Select Start brings people to a place where 1980s sci-fi pop culture meets Japanese influences. “The shock and awe of the whole space, it's so amazing; it's so dense,” said Tyler Davies, lead designer at Fireside Design-Build. “I can't wait for people to be able to take this all in themselves.” Here is a look at a motorized art installation engineered by the Fireside Design-Build team patrons will see once they enter Select Start, taken on Thursday Nov. 21, 2024. (Joseph Bernacki/CTV News Winnipeg) Bumbolo’s interior design team is nearing their final level of work after transforming this 8,000-square-foot space. “There's little nods and Easter eggs all through the space,” said Jaclyn Wiebe, co-owner of Fireside Design-Build. “I think that's where we got really excited to make this space something that you can't just discover in one visit.” Many pieces of art inside the space were designed as homage and a love letter to the video game giant Nintendo, which was founded as a Japanese playing card company in 1889. “When you walk into the space, there is a neon sign that says ‘Leave luck to Heaven,’” Bumbolo said. “That is the translation of Nintendo into English.” While ‘Leave Luck to Heaven’ is commonly assumed to be the translation, there has yet to be a historical validation for the company’s English translation that turned 135 years old in September. Mel McManus is part of the ownership group for Select Start. He was inspired to open a business in the Exchange District after seeing a similar concept in downtown Nashville. 'These games are a conversation starter' McManus spent hours playing Nintendo’s Super Punch-Out!! at the former Magicland Arcade on Portage Ave. as a teen. He and his friends bought into what they believe will be a venue with multi-generational appeal. “Someone in their early twenties is going to love the feeling they get from this place,” McManus said. “These games are a conversation starter.” Mel McManus, co-owner of Select Start said he spent countless hours in the 1980s playing Nintendo’s Super Punch Out!! arcade machine. Here is a look at the 1983 game on display inside Select Start on Thursday Nov. 21, 2024. (Joseph Bernacki/CTV News Winnipeg) Phantom Amusement at The Forks sees that nostalgic appeal daily with players young and old remarking on the games they offer. “Oh, I remember playing this game as a kid, or maybe they have their kids with them, and then they tell their kids about the games that they used to play as kids and get their kids involved in it,” said David Morris, founder of the Manitoba Pinball League. “It's just a circle of fun that we really love to be a part of here.” Mark Jaslowski, owner of Phantom Amusement, said nowadays many older arcade machines can be restored to their original look and play, something that would have been less likely years ago. “There's a lot of suppliers of parts; parts are being remanufactured so you can relive your childhood and a lot of games,” Jaslowski said. “A lot of times when the games were made, they weren't really going to be around forever. The operators, you know, you own them for a few years, you sell them, flip them. A lot of things have now changed in the hobby. The games are every bit as fun as they used to be. You don't forget that.” Davies did not get to experience the golden age of the arcade. That did not stop his creative design plans for the space. His admiration of early 1980s technology and sci-fi movies from the era led him to a design coined ‘vaporwave.’ “Vaporwave distilled down to its most basic form is an aesthetic movement that came about sort of in the early 2010s, tapping into a lot of nostalgia for early technology, the early Apple computers, a lot of Japanese influences, but also a lot of Romanesque influences,” Davies said. Beginning with a blank slate, Davies had a lot of room to work with. He paired Japanese and American cultures together for a postmodern look, hoping to attract new generations. “I didn't get to live through this era, but to be able to live vicariously through creating this space,” Davies said. “I'm a dork. I'm a nerd. I love digging into stuff. I love being able to live in a space that I didn't necessarily get to enjoy.” Tyler Davies (left), Jaclyn Wiebe (middle), and Adam Bumbolo (right) from Fireside Design-Build have spent countless hours designing the interior of Select Start. Here is the team ahead of opening on Thursday Nov. 21, 2024. (Joseph Bernacki/CTV News Winnipeg) Select Start’s ownership group hired Bumbolo’s team five years ago to begin working on this ambitious project. Like McManus, Bumbolo saw potential to develop a unique space based on business models he toured in Toronto and Chicago. 'You begin to completely buy into the fantasy that you are in a high-rise in downtown Tokyo' “The slight difference for us is that we wanted to prioritize the social aspect, not just on video games,” Bumbolo said. “We wanted to make sure that this was a bar and a restaurant and a gathering space. The arcade is definitely the liveliness and the heart of the space, but we really wanted to be able to create a space for Winnipeg to gather, socialize, and come together.” After years of working in the same building, Bumbolo said the illuminated cityscapes that are designed on many of the walls in Select Start lend themselves to creating a space that is unlike what The Exchange District has seen before. “After about an hour's worth of time in this room, even for us who have been in here for years, you begin to forget that you're actually in Winnipeg,” Bumbolo said as he laughed. “You begin to completely buy into the fantasy that you are in a high-rise in downtown Tokyo.” The group is hopeful people will be able to enjoy the celebration of nostalgia and futurism in the New Year.Caiwei Chen is a reporter who covers tech, the internet, and society.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin public worker and teachers unions scored a major legal victory Monday with a ruling that restores collective bargaining rights they lost under a 2011 state law that sparked weeks of protests and made the state the center of the national battle over union rights. That law, known as Act 10, effectively ended the ability of most public employees to bargain for wage increases and other issues, and forced them to pay more for health insurance and retirement benefits. Under the ruling by Dane County Circuit Judge Jacob Frost, all public sector workers who lost their collective bargaining power would have it restored to what was in place prior to 2011. They would be treated the same as the police, firefighter and other public safety unions that were exempted under the law. Republicans vowed to immediately appeal the ruling, which ultimately is likely to go before the Wisconsin Supreme Court. That only amplifies the importance of the April election that will determine whether the court remains controlled 4-3 by liberal justices. Former Gov. Scott Walker, who proposed the law that catapulted him onto the national political stage, decried the ruling in a post on the social media platform X as “brazen political activism.” He said it makes the state Supreme Court election “that much more important.” Supporters of the law have said it provided local governments more control over workers and the powers they needed to cut costs. Repealing the law, which allowed schools and local governments to raise money through higher employee contributions for benefits, would bankrupt those entities, backers of Act 10 have argued. Democratic opponents argue that the law has hurt schools and other government agencies by taking away the ability of employees to collectively bargain for their pay and working conditions. Union leaders were overjoyed with the ruling, which affects tens of thousands of public employees. “We realize there may still be a fight ahead of us in the courts, but make no mistake, we’re ready to keep fighting until we all have a seat at the table again,” said Ben Gruber, a conservation warden and president of AFSCME Local 1215. The law was proposed by Walker and enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature in spite of massive protests that went on for weeks and drew as many as 100,000 people to the Capitol. The law has withstood numerous legal challenges over the years, but this was the first brought since the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped to liberal control in 2023. The seven unions and three union leaders that brought the lawsuit argued that the law should be struck down because it creates unconstitutional exemptions for firefighters and other public safety workers. Attorneys for the Legislature and state agencies countered that the exemptions are legal, have already been upheld by other courts, and that the case should be dismissed. But Frost sided with the unions in July, saying the law violates equal protection guarantees in the Wisconsin Constitution by dividing public employees into “general” and “public safety” employees. He ruled that general employee unions, like those representing teachers, can not be treated differently from public safety unions that were exempt from the law. His ruling Monday delineated the dozens of specific provisions in the law that must be struck. Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he looked forward to appealing the ruling. “This lawsuit came more than a decade after Act 10 became law and after many courts rejected the same meritless legal challenges,” Vos said in a statement. Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, the state's largest business lobbying organization, also decried the ruling. WMC President Kurt Bauer called Act 10 “a critical tool for policymakers and elected officials to balance budgets and find taxpayer savings." The Legislature said in court filings that arguments made in the current case were rejected in 2014 by the state Supreme Court. The only change since that ruling is the makeup of Wisconsin Supreme Court, attorneys for the Legislature argued. The Act 10 law effectively ended collective bargaining for most public unions by allowing them to bargain solely over base wage increases no greater than inflation. It also disallowed the automatic withdrawal of union dues, required annual recertification votes for unions, and forced public workers to pay more for health insurance and retirement benefits. The law was the signature legislative achievement of Walker, who was targeted for a recall election he won. Walker used his fights with unions to mount an unsuccessful presidential run in 2016. Frost, the judge who issued Monday's ruling, appeared to have signed the petition to recall Walker from office. None of the attorneys sought his removal from the case and he did not step down. Frost was appointed to the bench by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who signed the Walker recall petition. The law has also led to a dramatic decrease in union membership across the state. The nonpartisan Wisconsin Policy Forum said in a 2022 analysis that since 2000, Wisconsin had the largest decline in the proportion of its workforce that is unionized. In 2015, the GOP-controlled Wisconsin Legislature approved a right-to-work law that limited the power of private-sector unions. Public sector unions that brought the lawsuit are the Abbotsford Education Association; the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Locals 47 and 1215; the Beaver Dam Education Association; SEIU Wisconsin; the Teaching Assistants’ Association Local 3220 and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 695.Family matters at Kansas governor’s annual Christmas tree delivery

Steep price hikes could be on the way if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his pledge to impose sweeping new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China. He threatened to implement the tariffs on the country’s top three trading partners on his first day back in office, including a 10% tariff on products from China. In a pair of social media posts, he explained the decision as a way to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States,” he said. “It is time for them to pay a very big price!” Ultimately, consumers could end up absorbing the brunt of those costs. When tariffs are levied on imports, American companies have to pay taxes to the U.S. government on their purchases from other countries; the companies often pass on those extra costs to customers. “This is a bully effort to put everybody on notice,” said economist Chris Thornberg, founding partner of Beacon Economics in Los Angeles. “One of the reasons he uses tariffs is because it’s one of the few places that he actually has some leverage.” Though Thornberg noted it’s still a “giant remains-to-be seen” whether and how Trump’s proposed tariffs are implemented, consumer goods across the board could be dramatically affected. Here are a few top categories: Mexico was the U.S.’s top goods trading partner last year, surpassing China. Mexico is a major manufacturer of passenger vehicles, light vehicles, trucks, auto parts, supplies and electric-vehicle technologies. Eighty-eight percent of vehicles produced there are exported, with 76% headed for the U.S., the International Trade Administration says. Automakers with manufacturing operations in Mexico include General Motors, Ford, Tesla, Audi, BMW, Honda, Kia, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen. “If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer,” Phil Daniele, chief executive of AutoZone, said in the company’s most recent earnings call. “We’ll generally raise prices ahead of ... what the tariffs will be.” Last year, China accounted for 77% of toy imports — about 25 times greater than the total value of toy imports from Mexico, the next largest foreign source of supply, according to the National Retail Federation. U.S. producers account for less than 1% of the toy market. The federation recently released a study that found the tariffs Trump proposed during his campaign — a universal 10% to 20% tariff on imports from all foreign countries and an additional 60% to 100% tariff on imports specifically from China — would apply to a wide range of toys imported into the U.S., including dolls, games and tricycles. “Prices of toys would increase by 36% to 56%,” the study concluded. The National Retail Federation study also analyzed more than 500 items of clothing and found prices “would rise significantly” — as much as 20.6%. That would force consumers to pare spending on apparel. Low-income households would be hit especially hard, the group said, because they spend three times as much of their after-tax income on apparel compared with high-income households. “U.S. apparel manufacturers would benefit from the tariffs, but at a high cost to families,” the study said. “Even after accounting for domestic manufacturing gains and new tariff revenue, the result is a net $16 billion to $18 billion loss for the U.S. economy, with the burden carried by U.S. consumers.” Imported footwear products already face high U.S. duties, particularly those made in China. The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America expressed concern that new tariffs would make it more difficult for consumers to afford shoes and other everyday essentials. Trump’s proposed tariffs would increase the costs of several imported fruits and vegetables, said Jerry Nickelsburg, faculty director of UCLA Anderson Forecast, an economic forecasting organization. The vast majority of U.S. produce imports come from Mexico and Canada, including avocados, cucumbers, potatoes and mushrooms. The U.S. spent $88 billion on agricultural imports from the two countries in fiscal year 2024. Big-ticket electronic products such as televisions, laptops, smartphones, dishwashers and washing machines — many of which are manufactured in Mexico and China, or made with parts imported from those countries — likely would become more expensive. The U.S. imported $76 billion worth of computers and other electronics from Mexico in 2023, and more than a quarter of U.S. imports from China consist of electronic equipment.
