Duncan’s only movie theatre reopens under new name, managementCoronavirus FAQ: I didn't get the latest COVID vaccine. Should I? And if so ... when?Diddy compares himself to Trump in new bail bid. Prosecutors don’t buy itMr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, taking over in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” World leaders have paid tribute to Mr Carter, including US President Joe Biden, who was one of the first politicians to endorse Mr Carter for president in 1976 and said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia. — The Carter Center (@CarterCenter) “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us. “He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe.” Irish President Michael D Higgins said Mr Carter was “a principled man who dedicated his life to seeking to advance the cause of peace across the world”. He added: “On behalf of the people of Ireland, may I express my sympathies to President Carter’s children and extended family, to President Joe Biden, to the people of the United States, and to his wide circle of colleagues and friends across the globe.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally, the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center managed to virtually eliminate Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.
Two of the league’s young quarterbacks looking to prove themselves meet Sunday afternoon in Foxborough as Anthony Richardson and the Colts (5-7) take on Drake Maye and the Patriots (3-9). The 2nd-year pro out of Florida, Richardson was benched earlier this season for a couple games before returning in impressive fashion completing 20 of 30 passes, throwing for 272 yards, and most importantly, leading the Colts to a 28-27 win over the Jets. However, Richardson was less than good last weekend against the Lions completing just 11 of 28 passes for 172 yards in a 24-6 loss to Detroit. Like Richardson in Indy, Drake Maye has had his ups and downs this season. The rookie out of North Carolina was also good two weeks ago in a 28-22 loss to the Rams completing 75% of his passes and throwing for 282 yards. However, the rookie out of North Carolina struggled last weekend. Like Richardson, accuracy has been a recurring issue for the young signal-caller. He completed just 22 of 37 passes at Miami in a loss to the Dolphins. Both Indianapolis and New England have much invested in these two young quarterbacks. It will be interesting to see if either show progress this weekend in the Northeast.

As a culinary professional, I know holiday feasts can be as daunting as a busy night on the line, but it doesn't have to be. Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share with me, a culinary school graduate and experienced cook, what they were worried about while cooking during the holidays. Their responses gave me ample opportunity to offer some advice and kitchen wisdom that might take some stress out of holiday hosting! 1. Q: "I always make WAY too much food. How do you decide which dishes you're going to cook for Thanksgiving? I usually make everything I can think of, and we end up with leftovers until the New Year, but I always worry about pleasing everyone." — rnd13001 A: Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season — but having leftovers until New Year’s? That’s a bit much! As someone with a background in hospitality, I get the desire to take care of everyone and make them happy. But remember, your guests are just that — guests. As the host, focus on making dishes that excite you for the Thanksgiving table. Most people are simply grateful to be welcomed into a home and treated to a meal! Instead of cooking “everything you can think of,” go into the holiday with a plan — or, more specifically, a menu plan. Here’s an example menu: Once you know how many guests to expect, choose an appropriately sized turkey (or whatever main dish you plan to serve). A good rule of thumb is about 1.5 pounds of turkey per person. To keep guests happy while you finish preparing dinner, a cheese and charcuterie board is a simple, crowd-pleasing appetizer. For the board, pick one firm cheese like manchego and one soft cheese like Camembert*; add a cured sausage like soppressata, a cured meat like bresaola, and some fall fruits like sliced apples or figs. I prefer serving these with torn or sliced fresh bread rather than a variety of crackers — fresh bread is visually inviting and avoids leaving you with half-empty boxes of stale crackers after the holidays. For the main meal, serving one main dish with three sides, a sauce, and some kind of bread offers guests plenty of options to mix and match without overwhelming yourself. As for dessert, pie is a must on Thanksgiving in my book. When I host, I always bake an apple pie, but desserts are also a great thing to outsource! If a guest offers to bring something, suggesting a dessert is an easy way to lighten your load. *Both cheeses can easily be swapped for plant-based alternatives to accommodate vegan or dairy-free guests! 2. Q: "Every year for Thanksgiving, I cook my family's dressing and deep fry a turkey, and my wife makes her family recipe for carrot puff (it's closer to a sugary dessert that nearly everyone raves about). However, I try to make something different and more innovative each year. For instance, a few Thanksgivings back, I made green bean steamed dumplings with a creamy mushroom sauce (my take on green bean casserole). I am struggling this year to come up with something, and I suspect the family will expect me to produce another different dish, but I am at a loss this season. Any ideas?" —Harry, Alexandria, 51 A: I love having both annual cooking traditions and new, creative dishes at the Thanksgiving table! If you are looking for an unexpected vegetable side dish that is still cozy and indulgent, as all great Thanksgiving dishes should be, I would recommend something like these pomegranate-glazed Brussels sprouts, which I made for Thanksgiving last year. To make Pomegranate-Glazed Brussel Sprouts for 8 people, I trimmed and halved 2 lbs. sprouts and roasted them with roughly 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt on a sheet pan in a 400°F oven for about 30 minutes until tender, giving the pan a shake every 10 minutes or so. While the sprouts roasted, I made the glaze in a saucepan over medium heat, pouring 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the pan. Once the oil began to shimmer, I added a teaspoon of finely minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of ground Aleppo pepper. I stirred to coat the garlic and chili in oil before turning off the heat and adding 1/3 cup of pomegranate molasses and 2 tablespoons of honey. I poured this glaze over the roasted sprouts and tossed them before tasting and seasoning them with more salt. I garnished it with fresh pomegranates and served it! Note: The glaze is delicious but thin, and may pool towards the bottom; make sure to serve with a large spoon to scoop up all that pomegranate-y goodness! 3. Q: "If you could help with dinner rolls that don't come out dense and potato chip-like, I would appreciate it. Thanks." —Harry, Alexandria, 51 A: Let’s make sure your rolls come out fluffy and golden this time! Before you dive into your next bread project, check your yeast. Fresh active dry yeast is key — when activated with warm water, it produces carbon dioxide, which helps the dough rise. Expired yeast, however, won’t do the job, leaving you with a dense, hard dough like the one you're describing. Once you have some fresh yeast, get started on this dinner roll recipe by Tasty. I love it for two reasons: First, it’s an enriched dough, meaning it includes fat and protein-rich ingredients like dairy and eggs. These enrichments enhance the flavor, moisture, and structure, giving the rolls a tender, pillowy texture and a lightly buttery taste. Second, this recipe is quick. It can be made from start to finish in under three hours! For that perfect finishing touch, an egg wash creates a gorgeous golden crust and doubles as a glue for any toppings you’d like to sprinkle on. One reviewer jazzed up their rolls with honey, sesame, and poppy seeds. 98% of people say they would make these rolls again, and the recipe has hundreds of positive reviews. Definitely give this one a shot! 4. Q: "How to make the perfect, basic, 'even a fool couldn't mess up' turkey?" —Karen, Texas, 24 A: Do not let the turkey intimidate you! I find that, as in most things in life, success in the kitchen is 40% knowledge and 60% mindset. Attack prepping and roasting the turkey with confidence, and a plan, and dinner guests will sing your poultry cooking praises! But you want advice from a chef, not a life coach, so here are some practical tips for a good turkey. My first recommendation is to start early. Prepping your turkey a day ahead is the key to juicy, flavorful meat; brining is the magic trick. A brine , either wet or dry, seasons the turkey and helps retain moisture during roasting. For a dry brine (the most effective and easiest method, in my opinion): Rub kosher salt (not table salt, as it's too refined and concentrated) all over a turkey and let it rest uncovered in the fridge overnight. And don't just take my word for why dry-brining is so great; back in 2015, BuzzFeed conducted a blind taste test of turkeys and found dry-brining made the best turkey. For a wet brine: Soak the turkey overnight (up to 24 hours) in a solution of water, salt, and optional seasonings like apple cider vinegar or herbs. While effective in imparting flavor, this method takes more space in the fridge and a bit more effort than a dry brine. I love Samin Nosrat's buttermilk brine method. More turkey tips in the following question! 5. Q: "I’ve been in charge of cooking Thanksgiving dinner since my grandma passed away two years ago. How do I cook the perfect turkey that’s juicy and not dry?" —Anonymous A: As mentioned above, brining is a great first step to making a great turkey, but there are a few additional tricks to keep it moist. One of my favorites is coating the bird in a compound butter.* Rubbing the butter underneath the turkey's skin infuses the meat with flavor and moisture as it cooks. The butter melts and bastes the meat from the inside, while the skin keeps it locked in, preventing it from dripping off. This Tasty recipe breaks down the step-by-step process. *Compound butter is made of soft butter combined with aromatic ingredients, like citrus zest, herbs, and spices. Also, I strongly suggest having a calibrated meat thermometer on hand during roasting. I was taught to cook to temperature, not time, which I always recommend. Depending on the size of your turkey and the oven you're using, the bird may take more or less time than a recipe states. Check the thickest part of the thigh, breast, and wing periodically as the turkey roasts. Poultry should reach 165°F, but pull the bird out at 157-160°F — it will rise to perfection as it rests (we call this carryover cooking ). I like to start roasting my turkey in a hot oven at 425°F for the first 30 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325°F for the remainder of the cooking time. This initial burst of heat helps develop a beautiful, golden exterior while speeding up the cooking process. Lowering the heat afterward ensures the interior cooks evenly and stays moist without overcooking or burning the skin. 6. Q: "What’s the best seasoning for the turkey?" —Anonymous A: When it comes to seasoning your turkey, fresh, woody herbs like thyme, sage, and rosemary are classics for a reason — they add depth and warmth that pair beautifully with poultry. Layering herbs with other seasonings is key to a standout savory turkey. Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy kick, minced garlic for savory richness, and a touch of Dijon mustard to add tang and complexity. Black pepper and kosher salt are essential for bringing out all the flavors, and a hint of nutmeg or allspice can add more warmth and spice that's perfect for the season. There are so many flavor profiles to try; turkey is a savory blank slate, so feel free to get creative! Sumac and coriander? Star anise and soy? Fennel, apple, and allspice? It's your turkey; make it special! 7. Q: "How often should you baste the turkey?" —Anonymous A: Here's my hot take: You don't need to baste your turkey. I'll butter-baste a filet of beef or cod in a pan, but basting doesn't really contribute much moisture or flavor to an oven-roasted turkey. Plus, it can be dangerous! Opening a sweltering oven repeatedly to ladle sizzling fat and juices onto a heavy bird is not worth the risk. Plus, if you're anything like me, once the turkey is in the oven, you'll want to focus on the side dishes. If you are worried about going baste-free, try Martha Stewart's cheesecloth hack. Soak a square of cheesecloth large enough to cover your turkey in butter and white wine, and then cover your brined and buttered turkey in the soaked cheesecloth. The extra layer of fatty protection can help the bird retain moisture while allowing the skin to brown. This method has also gone TikTok-viral in the past few years. 8. Q: "What drink goes best with a Thanksgiving meal?" —Anonymous A: Festive mocktails and cocktails can elevate any Thanksgiving gathering, especially as a pre-dinner treat. The Rosemary Pom Spritzer, featured in our November recipe roundup , is the perfect drink to set the holiday mood. This versatile option can be enjoyed as a mocktail or easily transformed into a cocktail by adding an ounce of gin to the glass. For wine lovers, a dry Riesling or Pinot Grigio are good choices, as both pair beautifully with turkey and often offer great value. If you'd like to offer red wine as well, consider a Beaujolais — a Thanksgiving classic — or Lambrusco, a sparkling red I can only describe as flirty. These selections are sure to delight your guests and complement the holiday feast. 9. Q: "How do you make your own cranberry sauce?" —Anonymous A: I am in the homemade cranberry sauce camp because it is easy to make ahead of the big day, takes just a few minutes and fewer ingredients, and yields a much tastier product than the canned stuff! I make cranberry sauce the same way I make other fruit jams. First, zest and juice two oranges. Then, in a heavy-bottomed* saucepan, I combine one 12-ounce bag of fresh (or frozen) cranberries with a cup of sugar, the orange juice, and a 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. A cinnamon stick or sprig of thyme would add another lovely aroma to this sauce, but it isn't necessary. *Why do I use a heavy-bottomed saucepan? Because sugar can burn quickly when in direct contact with heat (in this case, a gas stove flame), and the thick metal prevents certain parts of the pan from scorching the sauce. 10. Q: "What's the best recipe for a simple pumpkin pie? I have a version that I absolutely love — it's a buttermilk pumpkin pie with streusel topping — but unfortunately, this year, it has been requested that I do something 'simpler.' Should I use my beloved recipe and just leave off the topping, or can you suggest something equally scrumptious?" —Anonymous A: Your special pumpkin pie recipe sounds DELICIOUS! If you have many guests coming, perhaps you could make double the pie filling and serve one pie with the streusel, and one without. While it's nice to accommodate the guests, as the host, you should make the food you want to eat the most! Especially around the holidays! Still, if you're looking to try a different classic pumpkin pie recipe, try this Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie . Evaporated milk is the key ingredient in the pumpkin filling, ensuring a luscious custard that holds its shape when cut. While the crust in this recipe uses shortening, you can easily substitute it for butter! What are your holiday cooking questions?

Ellington Credit (NYSE:EARN) Declares Monthly Dividend of $0.08There was a time that Sam Darnold was taken with the third overall pick . His career went awry after that, but plenty of the circumstances were out of his control. Now in the greatest situation of his career, he is cruising for the Minnesota Vikings. Despite it being winter in Minnesota, and even with the recent warm front, the California native found some surf. After a second victory over the Green Bay Packers this season, it was impossible for his teammates to hold back their emotions. Minnesota Vikings celebrate Sam Darnold’s success The quarterback is arguably the most important player on any team in any sport. The NFL demands that teams have a competent leader that can move the football. Sam Darnold has been every bit of that despite being paid peanuts for his production. His teammates know how important he is as well. THAT’S OUR FREAKING QUARTERBACK pic.twitter.com/pEo4aqPHen Earlier this year Darnold beat the Green Bay Packers on the road . It was a dominant performance that was only clouded by a box score that got close later in the contest. That was largely reflective of how the Week 17 home game played out as well. Darnold was lifted up, literally, by teammates as 50 Cent’s ‘Many Men’ rang out through the locker room. It isn’t the first time the popular rap song has rang out, and the quarterback has often been the recipient of deserved celebration. Got a text of this video from inside the #Vikings locker room after their win over the #49ers : The team vibing to 50 Cent’s "Many Men." pic.twitter.com/3SQnwKO7pi Kevin O’Connell dialed up 43 passes for his quarterback on Sunday, and Darnold completed 33 of them for 377 yards. His 3/1 TD/INT ratio consistently benefitted his team, and he found three different pass catches for touchdowns in the win. It remains unlikely that the Vikings employ Darnold as their starting quarterback next season. That’s largely because he has been good enough to get a sizable payday and should be given every opportunity to cash in on that reality. National analysts continue to remain tepid on a team that wasn’t supposed to be in this spot . So much of that is rooted in the belief of what Darnold was rather than what O’Connell and Minnesota have created him to be. At one point the Vikings signed a quarterback that screamed “you like that!” while doing little to elevate himself from there. Darnold has been a quiet and consistent leader that is applauded by those around him despite never leaning too far out on his own.

Thomas Brown was talking through the massive task ahead of him in his second news conference as Chicago Bears interim head coach . How can he affect a team on a six-game losing streak? How does he plan to balance offensive play calling with head coach duties on game day? How can he further quarterback Caleb Williams’ development ? How does he look at the grand opportunity in front of him to show the NFL what he’s all about? But about four minutes in, when considering the most notable changes around Halas Hall since the Bears fired coach Matt Eberflus , Brown veered down a lighthearted tangent — about weight loss. At 225 pounds early in November, Brown was trying to cut weight. It turned out being named offensive coordinator to replace Shane Waldron was just what he needed. Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown, left, talks to Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, right, during the first half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers last month in Chicago. “You increase tasks to your day, you forget about food,” Brown said later. “I went a couple days and just really didn’t eat, didn’t really think about it, wasn’t hungry. I was thinking about the next moment, what to say to this player, doing game planning and I look up and I’m almost 30 pounds down. So we’ll keep going, see how long it lasts.” Brown was told he should market the unorthodox plan that has him down to 205 pounds. “I’ll write a book and we’ll see,” Brown said. “I hope you guys buy it. I’ll probably be pretty pissed if you don’t buy it.” The ensuing laughter was a surprising sound amid all the dreariness in Lake Forest lately. It’s that presence from Brown as the Bears’ new temporary leader that has players buying into his message ahead of their road game Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Multiple players said Brown’s direct and clear approach to communication, his energy and his focus on accountability and unity have helped ease the transition from Eberflus, who was fired Nov. 29 after posting a 14-32 record in 21⁄2 seasons. “(Brown) is very deliberate in how he talks to us,” left guard Teven Jenkins said. “Everything he’s telling us right now is very intentional and all of us are very locked in. Everybody is sitting at the front of their seat, leaning in.” To be clear, that presence is not necessarily going to help Brown balance coordinator and head coach duties on game day. It doesn’t mean he’s going to formulate winning game plans or make better late-game decisions than the ones that ultimately led to the demise of Eberflus. That all remains to be seen. But it was Step 1 in steadying the upheaval at Halas Hall this week after the Bears fired a head coach midseason for the first time in team history. Now, Brown and the players hope to ride his spark and put an end to a maddening string of losses that have turned their season upside down . Brown doesn’t so much avoid the topic as indicate that he can’t really be concerned about it in this most hectic of all months. He interviewed for head coaching vacancies before — with the Miami Dolphins in 2022, the Houston Texans in 2023 and the Tennessee Titans in 2024. The former Los Angeles Rams assistant head coach under Sean McVay and the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator last season, Brown knows he’ll be assessed across the league for how he steps in for Eberflus. He surely knows the Bears, who promoted him twice in less than three weeks, will keep him on their candidate list for their next head coach if he handles himself well. And he knows his work between now and Jan. 6 may earn him consideration for other openings around the NFL. But he is focused on this job over the next month. “I’ve always had the thought process of every job I’ve had, try to excel at a high level,” Brown said. “What I realized about this profession is if you are bad at your job, they move on from you. If you’re good at your job, they give you an opportunity to stay around. If you’re great at your job, you get elevated. So my thought process was always to be the best I can be — not make it about myself — and let the chips fall where they may.” Bears President Kevin Warren gave Brown a strong endorsement Monday in talking about the coaching change and upcoming search, calling him bright, hardworking, talented, decisive and clear with “great leadership capabilities.” But nobody around Halas Hall will pretend that what lies ahead for Brown is easy. Interim coaches almost always are asked to step in because there are serious issues within a team — and the outcomes usually reflect that. In turn, the interims more often than not don’t return the next season. According to the Washington Post , from 1990-2021 interim coaches compiled a 111-209 record. Only 13 interim coaches — of the 46 the Post counted since 1990 — were hired into the teams’ full-time roles the next season. Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce was the only interim coach of six from 2022-23 to be hired to the full-time job when he was promoted in January 2024. And there is speculation around the league that his job could be in jeopardy after the season. Brown is one of three NFL interims this season, joining Jeff Ulbrich with the New York Jets and Darren Rizzi with the New Orleans Saints. He’s accepting of the hand he has been dealt. “I said at the beginning, I wanted to thank God for the opportunity that he’s presented me with because I can’t complain about prayers being answered in certain different orders,” Brown said. “Maybe it’s not the ideal scenario, but I live every day to be at my best for those around me. Every job I’ve had that’s led me to the future is based on the current work I do. So that’s all I care about. “I’m not worried about what happens in five weeks. ... It’s not even in my thought process. I’m focused on this very moment and how to do the best job I can for this football team to help lead these guys the right way and go have success.” How Brown leads Williams over the next month is as valuable as anything. After his second game with Brown as offensive coordinator, Williams hesitated to use the word — but then decided it fit. Brown has “a certain aura to him,” Williams said, that allows the quarterback to play free. “He knows what he wants,” Williams said. “You know he knows what he wants.” Brown was a self-described introvert growing up. He wasn’t shy as much as quiet, someone who kept to himself. But he has grown to find his voice, first through the communication required during 16 years of marriage to his wife, Jessica, then through parenting three sons, each with unique personalities that require different approaches. “It’s about still being my authentic self but also (knowing) how to deliver a message,” he said. “I’m never going to lie to you. I’m going to tell you the truth, but how I deliver it is based on what brings the best out of you.” His communication with Williams is key as the Bears try to help the quarterback squeeze the most out of the rest of his rookie season. In three games with Brown as his play caller, Williams has completed 64% of his passes for 827 yards and five touchdowns. He hasn’t thrown an interception in six games. And he has made clutch fourth-quarter plays to keep the Bears in games late. Those are promising results against three solid NFC North defenses and certainly a step up from the previous three games that helped prompt the Waldron firing. Williams didn’t throw for more than 217 yards in a game, and the Bears totaled just 27 points in those three contests. There are still issues to iron out. The Bears offense, which has been slow to start games for much of the season under Williams, didn’t score in the first half and totaled just 53 yards before halftime against the Detroit Lions in Eberflus’ last game. Williams said Wednesday that he wasn’t moving with enough urgency at the end of the game, when the Bears got just one play off in the final 32 seconds despite having a timeout. He said he also wasn’t on the same page as coaches about the play they wanted to run to set up a potential tying field goal. But there have been more reasons than not to believe the union is working. Quarterbacks coach Kerry Joseph said Brown’s clear and concise communication methods have helped to simplify things for Williams, “the way it hits Caleb’s brain, the way he sees it.” And Joseph believes the confidence with which Brown delivers his plans — and his emphasis on how they prepare — have rubbed off on Williams in the right way. Brown has stated more than once that he wants Williams to play with “no fear.” “When you have that as a player, you feel that,” Joseph said. “As coaches around him, you feel that — just that, ‘Hey, you can run through that wall if you choose to.’ That’s the confidence and command he’s brought in the room. It’s infectious. It spreads. He has put his DNA on it, and guys are walking in and believing in it.” Williams said last month that he didn’t have a lot of one-on-one talks with Brown when he was the passing game coordinator. The Bears, while trying to limit the number of voices in Williams’ ear in his rookie season, instead stressed his relationships with Eberflus and Waldron. When Brown took over for Waldron, he called the quarterback to lay out what Williams could expect from him and vice versa. He said the relationship required some “blind trust” to get moving so quickly in the middle of the season. Williams didn’t initially have the comfort that comes with working with a coordinator for months, for example being at ease with expressing when he doesn’t like a play call. They’re working on getting more comfortable. “I’m a pretty direct person,” Brown said. “That can come off different ways to different people. But he is not soft, which I appreciate. Me and soft people sometimes don’t always see eye to eye, get along. But he likes being challenged, likes being coached. “I’m definitely all about encouraging, uplifting our guys when it comes to doing things the right way, but it’s finding a balance (between) we have made some great improvements, great strides, but being good is not to be confused with good enough. So I can be better. He can be better. The entire group can be better.” Williams has been appreciative of how demanding Brown is of young players and veterans alike. “One of the most important things is accountability,” Williams said. “He’s done a solid job so far with that and holding me accountable, holding all the guys accountable. And just how he is. He’s a lead-by-example type of guy, and that’s been great.” Now the Bears must see if the leadership extends to the whole team on game day. A few days ago, McVay reached out to Brown to talk with him about his new opportunity. Brown worked for three seasons under McVay from 2020-22, first as the running backs coach, then as the assistant head coach and tight ends coach. He was a part of the 2021 Rams Super Bowl-winning team. Brown, a former running back at Georgia, listed a few coaches who have made an impact on him over his 14 seasons of coaching at the collegiate and NFL levels. He was the running backs coach under offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig at Wisconsin and studied how to marry the run and pass. He learned from Mark Richt as the running backs coach at Georgia and the offensive coordinator at Miami. He valued his time learning how to be a communicator, leader and teacher with senior assistant Jim Caldwell in Carolina last year. But McVay is his biggest influence, both in how to design an offense and use personnel but also how to lead. He learned “the really good stuff” about how to be consistent and own the room but also lean on the people around him. Brown obviously made an impression on McVay, who at 38 years old is the same age and played against Brown in high school in Georgia. He told Los Angeles reporters last week that he always thought Brown would be a head coach at some point. “There are just certain people when you watch (them), you’re like, ‘Man, they’re a little different’ in terms of the competitiveness, the spirit, the never-say-die attitude,” McVay said. “And then just his overall presence in general is impressive. A good way to articulate it is he commands respect by the way he handles himself, and he gives it back.” That command will be put under a much bigger spotlight when he takes on his first game as interim head coach Sunday. Brown was matter of fact in the week leading up to his debut about how he is handling his expanded duties. He is not a micromanager, he said, so he will not do a lot of meddling with defensive coordinator Eric Washington and his staff as they navigate their first game without Eberflus as defensive play caller. Brown already has been working closely with newly named offensive coordinator Chris Beatty, also the wide receivers coach, over the last three games. But they’ve added discussions about in-game situations , such as clock management, over the last week as they try to purge some of the issues of the past. Wide receiver Keenan Allen said Thursday that late-game decisions — and accountability from the coaching staff on some of those decisions — were some of the biggest frustrations for players under Eberflus. When asked if he thinks accountability will be better under Brown, Allen said, “We’ve got to wait to see, but yeah, I do.” That’s the hopeful attitude many players have taken this week as they deal with the change and try to finish the season off right. Defensive end DeMarcus Walker believes in Brown’s direct, transparent, “grown men” approach to communication. And he’s behind Brown as he tries to help them put an end to a losing streak they think is not indicative of their talent. “We love his energy and his demeanor and attitude he brings for us as a team,” Walker said. “Obviously ever since he’s been calling plays, he’s brought a different level to it. And we’ve got his back.” When Brown considered what he wants the Bears’ identity to be under his leadership, he said he has “more of a defensive mentality, even as an offensive guy.” He wants players to understand the physicality they need to play with and the discipline they need to have when they apply themselves. And he wants them to maximize their next opportunity. “Life isn’t guaranteed; this game isn’t guaranteed,” Brown said. “It’s a privilege to be here, so I want us to maximize it every single day in the building. And when we have an opportunity to excel on game day, go cut it loose, man. Play with no fear.” Brown is approaching his big moment the same way.

An Aroostook County winter festival will move its snowmobile races from Caribou to Presque Isle to take advantage of better conditions. The third annual SnowBowl, planned in February, will include events from Mars Hill to Van Buren. Racing activities will move from Spud Speedway about 18 miles south to the Aroostook Centre Mall. When Spud Speedway owners Jim Gamage and Troy Haney launched the first SnowBowl in Caribou in 2023, the response was bigger than they dreamed, drawing thousands to the area. But last winter’s lack of snow caused a dismal snowmobile season that devastated local businesses. Organizers hope the 2025 festival will bring a much-needed economic boost to a region that depends on winter recreation. “We’ve got to take what we have for assets and bring them to light. Two of those are the people and the trail system,” co-founder Jim Gamage said. “We want to attract snowmobilers to make The County their destination.” Mild temperatures and little snow last year made the Caribou speedway track too muddy to use. Organizers made a quick decision to move racing to the mall parking area, creating a track in 36 hours with 400 truckloads of snow. It proved to be the perfect spot, Gamage said. Spectators and racers liked the surroundings. There’s also more parking and vendors can set up inside where it’s warm. The 2025 event will offer a weeklong slate of snowmobile racing, a scenic ride, a snowman-building contest, a magic show and “restaurant rumble,” where participants can eat at central Aroostook restaurants and enter their names for drawings, he said. Gamage, Haney and crew are introducing something new this year they hope will inspire residents and entice visitors to northern Maine. The speedway will debut phase one of its Spud Speedway Northern Lights project, similar to Boothbay Harbor’s Gardens Aglow — but with a County twist. “We created a 70-foot tunnel of old quonset hut frames and made six snowmen out of old tractor and skidder tires,” Gamage said. “We’re going to light it all up with Christmas lights. It’s a tunnel you drive through.” Phase two of the project is in the works for the following year, and will transform the speedway grounds into a trail with 15 lit displays showcasing elements of Aroostook: potato harvest, forestry, outdoor recreation, veterans and more. While Caribou is disappointed that some portions of the SnowBowl will move to Presque Isle, the city supports Spud Speedway as it grows the audience for the annual winter event, Caribou City manager Penny Thompson said. “Safety is of paramount importance to this type of experience and, due to the unpredictable nature of our spring weather, the organizers need to consider venues that are easiest to control to keep participants and spectators safe,” she said. The entire region will benefit as people come to the event and spend money locally, Thompson said. The SnowBowl will kick off on Sunday, Feb. 23, with Brian’s Ride, a guided 80-mile ride to the arch hangar at the former Loring Air Force Base , then on to a scenic spot in Van Buren with a hot lunch on the trail. There will be a snowmobile hill climbing contest at BigRock Mountain in Mars Hill, the return of mindreader/magician Kent Axell and an evening at Spud Speedway with demonstration rides, a groomer rodeo, a bonfire and hot dog roast. Everything moves to Presque Isle for the weekend of March 1 and 2, with pro racing and several classes of local competition, Gamage said. Vendors, food trucks, and a vintage sled display are planned at the mall. X Racing owner Joe Duncan of Minnesota, creator of the Winter X Games, will bring his snocross racing team from across the country for a show on Saturday, March 1. Freestyle riders will present a stunt show with jumps and acrobatics. Sunday, March 2, will be a family fun day, Gamage said. More snocross and vintage racing are on tap, along with local competitions in numerous age divisions so anyone can try out the track. The business community has stepped up since day one to support the SnowBowl, he said. People are already booking accommodations for February, and one company has reserved 60 local rooms to bring its entire cohort. That’s exactly what Gamage and Haney hoped for when they started. “We want to get the kids out, we want to get the community involved, and we want people to have fun and make a memory and smile,” he said. “We want to give people a reason to celebrate winter.”None

In preparation for the global Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit 2025, set to take place in March 2025 in Paris, France, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and Fruit of Sustainability convened a Stakeholder Dialogue at the Avari Hotel in Lahore. The dialogue, titled “Partnering for Healthier Food Systems & Nutrition: SMEs and Food Regulators in Focus,” aimed to address critical challenges in regulatory compliance, innovation, and collaboration to improve nutrition and food safety in Pakistan. The N4G Summit is a global platform dedicated to mobilizing financial, political, and community action to combat malnutrition and ensure healthier food systems worldwide. This Stakeholder Dialogue is a crucial initiative to connect local challenges and solutions with the global discourse, contributing actionable insights to the summit’s agenda. The dialogue brought together diverse participants, including representatives from Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), regulatory bodies, and nutrition experts. The event began with a welcome address by Sarim Mehmood, CEO and Founder of Fruit of Sustainability, followed by opening remarks from Mr. Faiz Rasool, Head of Policy & Advocacy at GAIN Pakistan, who provided an overview of Pakistan’s malnutrition landscape and emphasized the role of SMEs in transforming food systems. Dr. Talat Naseer Pasha, Director General of the Punjab Agriculture Food & Drug Authority (PAFDA), delivered special remarks highlighting the regulatory landscape in Pakistan and opportunities for fostering innovation and compliance. Participants were then divided into thematic focus groups to discuss key issues: Regulatory compliance and fostering innovation. Building SME capacity for sustained growth. Strengthening collaboration between SMEs and food regulators.
Jeju Air crash that killed 179 prompts South Korea to probe country's airline operation systemFive schools forfeited matches in the regular season against San Jose State, which carried a No. 2 seed into the conference tournament in Las Vegas. Among those schools: No. 3 Utah State and No. 6 Boise State, who will face off Wednesday with the winner scheduled to play the Spartans in the semifinals on Friday. Wyoming, Nevada and Southern Utah — which is not a Mountain West member — also canceled regular-season matches, all without explicitly saying why they were forfeiting. Nevada players cited fairness in women’s sports as a reason to boycott their match, while political figures from Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Nevada suggested the cancellations center around protecting women’s sports. In a lawsuit filed against the NCAA , plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team, even naming her. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity and through school officials has declined an interview request. A judge on Monday rejected a request made by nine current conference players to block the San Jose State player from competing in the tournament on grounds that she is transgender. That ruling was upheld Tuesday by an appeals court. “The team looks forward to starting Mountain West Conference tournament competition on Friday,” San Jose State said in a statement issued after the appeals court decision. “The university maintains an unwavering commitment to the participation, safety and privacy of all students at San Jose State and ensuring they are able to compete in an inclusive, fair and respectful environment.” Boise State did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. “Utah State is reviewing the court’s order," Doug Hoffman, Aggies associate athletic director for communications, said in an email. "Right now, our women’s volleyball program is focused on the game this Wednesday, and we’ll be cheering them on.” San Jose State, which had a first-round bye, would be sent directly to the conference title game if Utah State or Boise State were to forfeit again. If the Spartans make the title game, it's likely the opponent would not forfeit. They would face top-seeded Colorado State, No. 4 Fresno State or No. 5 San Diego State — all teams that played the Spartans this season. The conference champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sportsThe New York Rangers are reportedly set to sign Igor Shesterkin to the largest goaltending contract in NHL history. The Rangers and Shesterkin have agreed to an eight-year, $92 million deal worth $11.5 million per year, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman . Shesterkin will be the first goaltender to earn more than $10.5 million per year. The reported extension eclipses the eight-year, $84 million deal Carey Price inked with the Montreal Canadiens in 2017. The news caps off a busy Friday for the Rangers, who reportedly traded captain Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks hours earlier. The Ducks took on the entirety of Trouba's $8 million cap hit for the next two seasons as part of the trade. The Rangers, who received defenseman Urho Vaakanainen and his $1.1 million cap hit in return, cleared almost $7 million in cap space with the trade. The additional room under the cap may have allowed the Rangers to up their offer from the eight-year, $88 million deal that Shesterkin reportedly rejected ahead of the 2024-25 season, according to ESPN's Kevin Weekes . Shesterkin, who will turn 29 later this month, is in his sixth season with the Rangers and his fourth as the franchise's starting netminder. Beginning with his 2021-22 Vezina Trophy campaign, Shesterkin has established himself as one of the best goaltenders in the NHL over the last three seasons. He has marked a .921 save percentage, 2.39 goals against average and 109-43-14 regular-season record over that span. Those numbers have dipped amid the Rangers' struggles to start the 2024-25 campaign. Shesterkin has so far recorded a 3.05 GAA and .908 save percentage while claiming just eight wins in 18 starts. His stats haven't been helped by the Rangers' defense, which ranks 31st in the NHL with 32.8 shots allowed through 24 games. Shesterkin's deal is a vote of confidence that he can return to Vezina caliber numbers and backstop the team to Stanley Cup contention while playing behind a stronger defense. The extension also means the Rangers have five players signed through the 2028-29 season with Mika Zibanejad, Vincent Trocheck, Alexis Lafrenière and Adam Fox joining Shesterkin as long-term locks in New York.
