DUP minister rejected suggestion licensing laws could be relaxed for jubileeIpswich Town manager Kieran McKenna admitted his side's 1-0 home loss to Crystal Palace was 'a frustrating night'. Following a scrappy, stop-start first period in which chances were at a premium, Town started to find some rhythm after the restart. Jean-Philippe Mateta's cool finish gave the visitors the lead though and, just like in last weekend's 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest, the Blues failed to muster much of a response. "It was a frustrating night," said McKenna, whose side remain in the relegation zone without a home win to their name. "There were probably too many similarities to Saturday for our liking. It's a really tight first half, not fantastic in terms of flow, lots of stoppages and we didn't manage to create the game that we wanted or the chances that we wanted. Having said that, neither did the opponent. We were solid, there was very little in the game and very few opportunities at either end. "We knew at half-time we just needed to get more intensity in the game one way or another. We needed to be more aggressive, more positive and play forward quicker, even if it wasn't perfect, just to create some atmosphere in the stadium. We did that, to be fair. "Second half we came out much better. I think we were in the ascendancy, we felt like we could really push on in the game, we got ourselves to a pretty good position with some momentum, then we concede a really poor goal. In a tight game like today that ends up decisive. "When the first goal goes in then the whole dynamic changes. We tried at the end to break them down, but they were defending and counter-attacking well. We weren't able to find the solution." Town skipper Sam Morsy reacts at the final whistle (Image: Steve Waller) The Blues boss continued: "They're not an easy team to create clear chances against. Newcastle have a top, top forward line and they didn't have a shot against them on Saturday. With the back five they have in place now they're going to be hard to break down. Guehi, Lacroix, Chalobah - that's a really physical, dominant one-v-one back line. When they match you up, as they did, and go man-for-man it's not easy to create chances against them. I think lots of teams will find that difficult. "We couldn't get superiority in any individual duels. We got into some good areas, but we weren't able to produce the quality that we needed to create a clear chance. Both teams probably cancelled each other out a little bit in terms of the systems." With Bournemouth coming to Portman Road on Sunday, McKenna added: "Today was different to most of our home games. In most of our home games we've managed to create intensity, atmosphere, chances, pressure and make it more like the game we want. We certainly didn't today. "I don't think it's a trend. I think you have to give Palace some credit. We're up against a lot of Premier League quality, experience and physicality. It's a big challenge."If this is it for Vikings replacement kicker Parker Romo, it was a successful run
The View ’s Alyssa Farah Griffin is ready to open up about her journey to motherhood. “I’m going through IVF right now,” Farah Griffin, 35, shared on the Monday, December 2, episode of “ The View: Behind the Table ” podcast. “My husband [ Justin Griffin ] and I have been hoping, trying to get pregnant for about a year and a half, and it wasn’t happening naturally so we made the decision to move forward with IVF. This is now my second cycle.” The View cohost said she would be missing from the “Hot Topics” table on Tuesday, December 3, because of a doctor’s appointment. While she has yet to discuss her IVF journey on the show, Farah Griffin explained why she wanted to share more on The View ’s official podcast. “I had no idea at my age how hard this actually would be,” she told host Brian Teta . “I’m only 35 and to me, I was like, ‘I’ve got plenty of time. This won’t be that difficult. I’m healthy. I work out. I eat right.’ My body was just not cooperating.” Farah Griffin — who is also a CNN political commentator — recalled doing IVF injections on Election Night in November in between on-air appearances. While the first cycle was relatively smooth, the second one has been a different experience. “I’ve been a wreck,” she said. “I’ve not felt myself. I’ve been tired. I’ve been emotional, you feel uncomfortable in your body. I just wanted to mention it because, from someone who is surprised by how hard it was, it’s because all the stories of this that we hear are usually women on the other side, like, ‘Here’s my baby and, oh, real quick, it was kind of hard to get here.’” By being open about her journey to motherhood, Farrah Griffin hopes to give other women reassurance that they are not alone. “I wanted to share with women struggling that there is hope and you just have to be present in the process,” Farah Griffin continued. “There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I just don’t know when it will be for us.” While the daytime talk show star promises not to “overshare” during her journey, she wanted people to know what she’s currently going through.

Minnesota, 0-2 in the Big Ten, hosts No. 21 Purdue on Thursday and Ohio State on Jan. 6.As Breckenridge heads into 2025, it is gearing up for a year with an anticipated $157.4 million in expenditures, a $23 million deficit in cash flow and minimal revenue growth. In 2025, the town anticipates having a net revenue of $137.5 million. While the town is spending more than it is bringing in, its finance department said the town remains in a strong financial position. Finance director Dave Byrd said the town is coming into a year where it has the opportunity to tackle a number of projects and this is driving expenses. “We’ve got Project Runway kicking off ... we also have major infrastructure projects in our capital fund, and it was kind of a year where both things are really happening at the same time, and we’re in very good condition financially to weather these investments, but it led to a negative cash flow for 2025,” Byrd said. Project Runway will bring a new 140-150 unit neighborhood to the Airport Road area geared toward the local workforce. Breckenridge plans to put around $8.6 million toward kicking off the project in 2025, which is anticipated to take 2-3 years. Due to upcoming construction on the site, the 2024-25 ski season will likely be Airport Road’s last year housing free skier parking , since the development will be on top of where the parking lot is currently located. While officials are eyeing the McCain property as free skier parking’s new home, no plans have been solidified. The town is going into a year where it plans to knock numerous public works projects off its list, totaling a $13.3 million price tag. The heftiest price tag, accounting for nearly half the overall price tag at $6.6 million, belongs to a culvert bridge and roadway rebuild on Broken Lance Drive. Breckenridge will also be putting $3 million of its capital fund budget to roadway resurfacing and $2 million toward Fiber 9600 infrastructure . It will also be spending $1.5 million on a skate park expansion. In a staff memo for an Oct. 22 meeting, it outlined staff anticipating “minimal revenue growth while personnel and operating costs continue to rise.” Byrd said what the town has been able to collect in taxes has plateaued in the last couple years. “We had our COVID Boom, and that kind of hit its peak in 2022 and now things have kind of leveled off, right,” Byrd said. Breckenridge reaped the rewards of a stark influx in visitation to mountain towns during the COVID-19 pandemic and had record-high tax collections. In 2021 the town collected an unprecedented $11 million in real estate transfer taxes. Collections from the tax have since dropped down to $6 million annually and it is anticipated to remain that way for the next five years. Similarly, Breckenridge’s accommodations tax for lodging jumped 50% from 2020 to 2021 yet saw declines in 2023 and 2024 and expects to see another in 2025. The town’s finance department predicts it will collect around $300,000 less in accommodations tax from 2024 to 2025. Additionally, it is assuming reductions in revenue from its marijuana, facilities and childcare funds. Senior accountant Tracey Lambert explained to council at an Oct. 8 budget retreat a 4.5% merit increase, given to personnel on the anniversary of their start date with the town, will drive up Breckenridge’s 2025 expenditures. Healthcare costs for personnel are expected to rise $200,000 based on staffing levels and the town plans to add 7.5 new employees to its payroll. Town Council members were particularly keen on supporting budget increases to programs geared toward housing affordability and sustainability. In 2024, Breckenridge saw significant demands in its programs geared toward housing affordability, warranting mid-year appropriations, and had taken those considerations into their 2025 proposed budget. During a July Breckenridge Town Council meeting, housing manager Laurie Best informed council the town had spent 85% of its Housing Helps Budget , a program which incentives residents to deed restrict their homes to ensure there’s affordable housing stock for the workforce, by the end of June. With $2.13 of the $2.5 million budget being spent by the last week of June, council approved $600,000 in appropriations at an Aug. 27 meeting. For 2025, the town is budgeting around $3 million for the program. Breckenridge staff members proposed a budget increase to expand its electric bike program at an Oct. 22 meeting, which council unanimously approved. In the proposed budget, it details a $478,000 spend on the program, which is up from around $360,000 in 2024. Council showed no hesitation toward approving the increase, with council member Todd Rankin noting he “loved the program” and council member Dick Carleton adding he was once hesitant about the launch of the program but now sees its value. Mobility staff members reported to council the program saw a near 52% increase in usage year over year. The budget increase they sought approval for would up bikes in the program from 125 to 170 and the number of bike hubs from 26 to 30. Breckenridge Town Council unanimously approved the 2025 budget during a Tuesday, Oct. 22 meeting.
