The have Broncos captured the Mountain West Conference title and earned their spot in the sport’s first 12-team playoff. As for the losers, there was UNLV, which fell 21-7 to Heisman hopeful Ashton Jeanty and the Broncos in the conference title game. But more than that, it was the Big 12, which saw one path to a first-round bye in those playoffs blocked off by Jeanty and Company. Lindsey Vonn competes in a pair of downhills, another step on her comeback trail at the age of 40 COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — Lindsey Vonn finished in the middle of the pack in a pair of lower-level downhill events as she competed for the first time in nearly six years. The 40-year-old Vonn is on the comeback trail after stepping away from the sport because of injuries. Vonn wasn't concerned with times and places in the races so much as getting used to the speed again and gaining the necessary points to compete on the World Cup circuit. Vonn accomplished both, finishing 24th in the first downhill race of the day and 27th in the second. She posted on social media after the FIS races she had enough points to enter World Cup events. Man City drops more points after draw with Crystal Palace and Man United loses again Manchester City’s Premier League title defense has taken another blow after a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

Norris takes pole for season-ending Abu Dhabi GP and Hamilton 18th in Mercedes farewell ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Lando Norris took pole position for the last Formula 1 race of the season alongside teammate Oscar Piastri to put McLaren on the verge of a first constructors’ title in 26 years. Norris’ last lap put him .209 of a second faster than Piastri, with Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. .020 further back. Seven-time F1 champion Hamilton qualified 18th for his last race with Mercedes after a bizarre incident wrecked his final qualifying lap. A plastic pole marking the inside of a corner was knocked loose by Kevin Magnussen’s Haas and Hamilton drove over it. Big 12's Yormark brings up hard choices for fans before sparsely attended title game ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — College football fans are facing some hard choices in the expanded playoff system with some teams set to play away from home multiple times. Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark raised that point before the sparsely attended title game between No. 12 Arizona State and 16th-ranked Iowa State. There were thousands of empty seats at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. Yormark says he remains committed to having a Big 12 title game. Besides the issues of fans, there have been suggestions that some leagues might be better off without title games as it relates to playoff hopes. Everton vs. Liverpool postponed because of Storm Darragh. Other Premier League games remain on LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — The Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool has been postponed because of Storm Darragh's dangerous winds and heavy rain on the west coast.

Ashton Jeanty lets his play do the talking for CFP-bound Boise State BOISE, Idaho (AP) — After Ashton Jeanty streaked through the middle of UNLV’s defense on his way to a 75-yard touchdown run Friday night in the Mountain West Conference title game, he didn’t strike the Heisman pose. He didn’t even lobby for it after the game, instead letting his play do the talking in No. 10 Boise State's 21-7 victory over No. 19 UNLV 21-7. Jeanty added another 209 yards — his sixth game over 200 yards this season — to push his total to 2,497 — just 132 yards short of passing Barry Sanders’ FBS season rushing record. The Broncos earned a spot in the College Football Playoff with the victory. No. 24 Army wins AAC championship in first attempt as Daily runs for 4 TDs in 35-14 win over Tulane WEST POINT, N.Y.

Kanye Udoh rushed for 158 yards, including a 72-yarder to set up a Daily TD, and a score.

Walmart's Black Friday Sale Is Now Live, Here Are The Best DiscountsThe S&P 500 climbed 0.5% and was on track to top its all-time high set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 81 points, or 0.2%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.5% higher, with less than an hour remaining in trading. Stock markets abroad were down, but mostly only modestly, after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada's main index edged down by just 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. General Motors sank 8.2%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.9%. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support to the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the overall economy and prices for investments, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed's last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. Unlike tariffs in Trump's first term, his proposal from Monday night would affect products across the board. Trump’s tariff talk came almost immediately after U.S. stocks rose Monday amid excitement about his pick for Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent. The hope was the hedge-fund manager could steer Trump away from policies that balloon the U.S. government deficit, which is how much more it spends than it takes in through taxes and other revenue. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another set of mixed profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates instituted by the Fed to get inflation under control. Kohl’s tumbled 17.6% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.7% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. J.M. Smucker jumped 5.4% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 after topping analysts' expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 2.8% for Amazon and 2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. In the bond market, Treasury yields rose following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.30% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It's since dipped back toward $91,600, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.

Support Hyperallergic’s independent arts journalism for as little as $8 per month. Become a Member Recently, I’ve entered my 11th year as a gallery guard at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). Since 2022, I’ve also been a member of the SAM Visitor Service Officers (VSO) Union , where we have been working to organize gallery guards to achieve better wages, restoration of our retirement benefits, and greater worker protections at the museum. In recent weeks, after 27 months of contract delays by SAM, negotiations have reached a breaking point, and workers have had no choice but to take drastic measures. Our union is independent, which means we are worker-run and organized, but this was not by choice. The National Labor Relations Board, even under the Biden administration, failed to protect our right to affiliate with a national union. The museum’s Board of Trustees took advantage of a legal loophole around “security workers” in the National Labor Relations Act to stop our affiliation with International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) Local 116 in 2022. This move deprived us of the funds, legal support, and infrastructure that partnering with a large union provides. On the positive side, this also more quickly exposed that the Board’s interests and incentives run counter to the needs of SAM employees. Get the latest art news, reviews and opinions from Hyperallergic. Daily Weekly Opportunities We know that the SAM Board comprises some of the wealthiest people in Seattle, and that they derive benefits from being on the Board. For example, Board members profit financially from their association with museums in numerous ways , one of which is increasing the value of their personal art collections. Several also leverage their so-called “ philanthropy ” at our arts institutions to launder their corporate reputations and ties to environmentally damaging industries . This reputation of benevolence is then often exploited for political power . Additionally, donors have a huge amount of control over how their funds are used, meaning that in many cases, personal projects can be pursued through the museum’s nonprofit structure. Museums offer some of the best “bang for your buck” in benefits, as far as philanthropy goes. However, the situation is changing with the growth of the museum union movement , which has responded to income inequality and the housing crisis nationwide. In the past, many donors could earmark donations exclusively for personal museum projects, and worker compensation stayed out of their sight. But because conditions in the US have worsened for working people, museum employees no longer do it as a “fun, part-time job,” but rather for survival. This year, the cost of living in Seattle has become unmanageably expensive. It costs about $33 per hour to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Seattle in 2024, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Amid these conditions, why won’t the SAM Board of Trustees support their employees? The museum’s bargaining rep stated in November of 2023, via an emailed response to the VSO Union request for information, “The Employer has never asserted, nor will it ever assert, either a present inability to pay, or a prospective inability to pay during the life of the contract being negotiated.” Rather, they explained that while SAM has ample finances (assets of around $360 million, according to the 2021 IRS form 990), it has difficulty maintaining existing properties, and property upkeep will continue to take precedence. This explanation would have carried more weight if the museum had not announced in January they would be pursuing further expansion. SAM’s most recent five-year strategic plan includes plans to “develop” the collection, exhibition programs, and gallery spaces. Board Member Jon Shirley, a major art collector and former president, CEO, and director of the tech giant Microsoft, said in a 2018 interview that showcasing his Alexander Calder collection “takes a lot of room,” and suggested “taking down the floors above it” to create additional space “because we own those floors.” Shirley also led the development of the Olympic Sculpture Park (OSP) in 2007, one of SAM’s most ambitious expansions which also became the city’s largest greenspace. But as SAM’s operations expanded to include OSP during this same period, the institution dealt its workers a blow they have yet to recover from. Around 2006, the museum Board terminated the pension program for SAM’s frontline workers. Shirley, who was Board president at the time, allocated his donations toward his passion: creating a space to display his Calder collection. And the workers suffered greatly for it. In prior years, we had earned a pension benefit that allowed workers to retire with dignity, instead of being forced to work past retirement age. Sadly, the Board continues to chip away at our current, insufficient retirement benefits. In the bargaining room, SAM continues to claim that with further expansions and upgrades, the museum may someday become more profitable; and if it does, security guards should trust that these future benefits will be passed on to its workers. But instead of waiting for those benefits to trickle down, our union authorized a strike vote last month, with 96% of votes in favor. We plan to go on strike beginning this Friday, November 29, unless SAM’s Board of Trustees changes course and offers a contract that allows its workers to survive in Seattle. For two years, the Board has refused outright to meet with us, so now we take the argument directly to them. On November 19, we held a rally at our museum during the VIP preview of Shirley’s second Calder show this year. We sent our message to the Board loud and clear: Art institutions need to stop acting “symbolically,” and start supporting their employees for real. We hope you enjoyed this article!

Marjorie Taylor Greene to chair new subcommittee that will work with Department of Government Efficiency | What we knowHow do you cut through government red tape? It’s not easy, as several Fort Worth startups can attest. Fort Worth-area entrepreneurs looking to do business or partner with the federal government made presentations to U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, on Nov. 25 at TechFW. They discussed the challenges they faced in working with and selling to the federal government. “I think it’s more important now that we talked with our entrepreneurs than ever before,” he said. “With Dickies leaving, I think it’s pretty clear that Fort Worth is going to be a town that is going to be very dependent on small businesses and entrepreneurs. We need to provide all the help we can to the people in that space to help power our economy and make sure we have a robust business culture here.” Jay Dixson, co-founder and CEO of RaidoHub, a startup that has developed a predictive software tool for airport managers to provide better customer service to travelers, has been working to connect with the Transportation Security Administration to help reduce passenger wait times at security checkpoints. RaidoHub has some contracts with airports such as JFK International Airport in New York and the Corpus Christi International Airport, but Dixson would like to work with the TSA to see how their technology could be used to improve a customer’s experience through security checkpoints. “That would be a great opportunity for us,” said Dixson.

Galaxy Unmanned Systems LLC, which provides unmanned air services for sports broadcasting and other applications, has had to pivot to military applications because of more restrictive regulations regarding unmanned systems. Jason White, co-founder and managing partner at Galaxy, said the company would like the government to do a better job of providing guidance for companies such as his as to what the rules are. The company has a big contract overseas where the rules are clearer for unmanned aircraft like Galaxy’s, White said. Veasey said he and representatives in Washington, D.C., can offer some help to Fort Worth entrepreneurs. “Sometimes we can point people in the right direction,” he said. “But sometimes, even for us, it can be difficult. We can help cut through some of the red tape and at least help get answers, even if they’re not favorable answers that people want.” Veasey encourages small businesses and entrepreneurs to stay in touch with members of Congress. “We all have case workers and legislative teams to help work on these types of issues,” he said. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get an immediate answer, he said. “Stay in touch. Build a relationship.” Other companies who gave presentations were: Articulate Labs, which provides technology that turns everyday movement into physical rehabilitation through movement-synchronous electrical muscle stimulation. Tremedics Medical Devices, a company that has developed stent technology to improve congenital heart disease in children. Ampcare, a company that provides treatment for swallowing disorders using electrical stimulation. Also making presentations to Veasey was Cowtown Angels, a group of approximately 45 area investors interested in early-stage companies, and the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program. The state-funded program offers free engineering and technology to small businesses and houses its North Texas site at TechFW, located off West Rosedale Street.
