Notable quotes by Jimmy CarterBlake Snell reportedly has joined his former team's biggest rival. After opting out of his Giants contract and entering MLB free agency this offseason, Snell has agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers pending a physical, ESPN's Jeff Passan and Jorge Castillo reported Tuesday, citing sources. Snell seemingly confirmed the news with a post on his Instagram account. It's no surprise Los Angeles landed the two-time Cy Young Award winner. The Dodgers have shattered free-agency expectations in recent offseasons, inflating their payroll and even deferring millions of dollars to future years so they can sign stars including Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman -- the list goes on. It paid off for San Francisco's NL West rivals in 2024, as Los Angeles won its eighth World Series title last month when it defeated the New York Yankees in five games. And the Dodgers appear to be taking the deferred money route with Snell, as they did when they signed Ohtani last winter. Snell's lone Giants campaign started off rocky after the ace endured an offseason without spring training while searching for a home in free agency. But after a rough first half to the 2024 MLB season, Snell quickly rounded into Cy Young form, even pitching a no-hitter for San Francisco on Aug. 2 against the Cincinnati Reds. His hot second half led Snell to opt out of the remaining year on his Giants contract, making him the best available pitcher on the open market. This time, negotiations with MLB teams didn't last as long. Because the Dodgers, as usual, swooped in. Download and follow the Giants Talk Podcast
College Football Fans Outraged After Dirty Hit on Shedeur Sanders In Colorado-KansasUS president-elect Donald Trump his intention to enact a 25 percent tariff hike on all goods from Canada, Mexico, and China on his Truth Social account on Monday, as a measure to combat illegal entrance into the US as well as “crime and drugs”. Trump a further 10 percent tariff on goods coming from China as retaliation for their failure to regulate drugs, particularly fentanyl, from being trafficked into the United States. Trump alleged that Canada and Mexico have turned a blind eye to ‘illegal aliens” pouring through their “open borders” and that the tariffs will remain in place until they use their power to prevent the alleged mass illegal immigration to the United States. Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Public Safety Minister Dominic Leblanc took to X (formerly Twitter) to to these claims, stating that Canada “places the highest priority on border security and the integrity of our shared border.” They also affirmed the importance of the Canada-US relationship. Many business leaders and academic experts have concerns over the proposed tariffs, claiming they would negatively impact American and Canadian workers and consumers alike. John Furner, president and CEO of Walmart US, also told CBC News in an exclusive that the tariffs would likely increase its prices if they were to take effect. In addition to skepticism over the efficacy of Trump’s tariff agenda, his immigration policies have been criticized by many. A report recently alleged that Trump’s deportation of immigrants during his first presidency increased crime rates instead of promoting safety. Several immigration rights groups have called for support for migrants following Trump’s victory and his immigration policies. 'Squeaky' Fromme found guilty in Ford assassination attempt On November 26, 1975, Charles Manson follower Lynette ”Squeaky” Fromme was found guilty by a federal jury in Sacramento, California, of the attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford. India constitution adopted On November 26, 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India voted to adopt the country's first after attaining independence from the United Kingdom. The document went into force on January 26 of the following year.Peggy Sue Martinez has worked for almost a decade with a security workers union in Los Alamos to send Christmas presents to young children at two Española schools. Over that time, she has seen the kids' needs increase "drastically." "The needs are more basic," she said. Martinez, an Española city councilor, goes to James H. Rodriguez Elementary School and Los Niños Kindergarten Center each year before the holidays and speaks with kids who have been identified as the students most in need. In past years, she said, many children would say they need a pair of shoes or a jacket, "but now they need both shoes and a jacket," she said, "and socks and underwear ... and they have siblings who need the same." She added, "These kids aren’t afraid to say in front of their peers that they need socks, and why do you think that is? Because they’re not the only ones." Martinez said the International Guards Union of America Local 69 provided gifts — shoes, coats, socks and even some laptop computers — to 70 students this year. They plan to increase the program in hopes of providing for up to 200 children in 2025. "These aren't just toys — we are trying to affect their daily needs," Martinez said. "And the needs are there." Several local government officials, leaders of aid programs and organizers of holiday charity efforts that serve the Española Valley have noted what appears to be an increase in need in recent years amid inflation, increasing housing costs and a continuing opioid epidemic that has wracked the region. The number of kids who receive gifts through the Northern New Mexico Toy Drive has swelled to 7,200 this year from 2,500 in 2021, and an annual Christmas shopping spree organized by Española police served more children than ever. Organizers of the Empty Stocking Fund, a holiday project of The Santa Fe New Mexican and the Santa Fe Community Foundation, hope to raise a record $475,000 this year to meeting a growing demand in Santa Fe and Rio Arriba counties for funds to cover costs like car repairs, past due rent and utility bills. Española Social Services Director Michelle Fraire — who began in the position earlier this year — confirmed what others have noticed. "We are seeing a high increase in children needing necessities," Fraire said. "They need clothing for school, laptops to do schoolwork; college students we hear from need food, groceries, etc." The city launched its social services department earlier this year with funding from opioid lawsuit settlements in an effort to combat increases in homelessness and addiction. Fraire has organized several fairs that bring state agencies like the Department of Health, along with a host of providers, to help connect people with support services and, ideally, housing. The city held such a fair Dec. 16 at the Española Pathways Shelter. Fraire said more than 40 people attended. Leaders of other initiatives noted higher need this year as well. The Española Firefighters Union raised $7,000 to split among seven people who are battling breast cancer, Assistant Fire Chief John Wickersham said. The cash is meant to help offset some of the expenses of cancer treatment, which can be financially devastating for families, he added. "There is an increased need throughout the Valley that we can see," Wickersham said, noting the union has seen rising numbers of applicants for the funds in recent years. Wickersham noted the high price tags for health care and other costs often associated with cancer treatment like travel. Meanwhile, Española police officers participating in Shop with a Cop accompanied a record 134 kids on a trip to the local Walmart store, where each child was given $100 to spend. Police Chief Mizel Garcia said the department also gave out 300 stockings after the event. Children from the Española Valley are referred to the Shop with a Cop program through the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department and other agencies. Garcia aims to continue growing the program, which he said can help mend relationships with police, especially for children who are in state custody or have had negative experiences with law enforcement. Wendy Croze, a program manager for Las Cumbres Community Services' Grandparents Raising Grandchildren program, said there has been an uptick in Española in recent years of grandparents taking in grandchildren, largely because of drug addiction. With families who take in grandchildren — or even neighbors, in one case — "it's very common that there is already financial need," Croze said. "Many had to retire from their jobs early in order to take care of young children who are now older," she said. "And so the need for food is enormous." Food Depot Executive Director Jill Dixon said the Santa Fe-based regional food bank serves nine counties, and about 20% of the food it distributes goes to Rio Arriba County, where estimates in recent years have shown more than 20% of the population experiences food insecurity. The Food Depot has seen an increase in need for fresh, nutritious foods in particular. A newsletter the organization published in recent months says about 30% of people who struggle with access to nutritious food do not qualify for food benefits through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Dixon said the regional food bank often sees people using food pantries on an intermittent basis, such when they are hit with expensive emergencies like unexpected medical bills or car trouble. The organization in December 2022 opened a "no-cost grocery store" in Española called Casita de Comida that allows people to shop, free of charge, through a selection of about 60 items. The pantry, which is growing and moving to a location on La Joya Street, currently serves about 360 families per month. Dixon hopes to expand it to serve about 100 more families in the next year. High rates of food insecurity are not limited to the Española Valley, she said, noting the need has been "holding steady" across The Food Depot's service territory for several years. She pointed to inflation in 2023 amid the evaporation of support and protections that helped many families through the coronavirus pandemic. "We just saw the need explode all over again," she said. "Everything is expensive," Dixon said. "It's just gotten incredible, and we've seen housing costs just skyrocket in basically every community that we serve. When you see housing, you know, eating up 30% to 50% of your earnings, there just isn't any room for error." People who don't frequent food pantries sometimes find themselves there when they suddenly discover they need new tires or a mammogram, she said, or perhaps because of the extra expenses associated with the holidays. "And that's what we're here for," she said. "But systemically, we have some pretty big problems to address."

Some quotations from Jimmy Carter . We have a tendency to exalt ourselves and to dwell on the weaknesses and mistakes of others. I have come to realize that in every person there is something fine and pure and noble, along with a desire for self-fulfillment. Political and religious leaders must attempt to provide a society within which these human attributes can be nurtured and enhanced. — from 1975 book “Why Not the Best?” Our government can express the highest common ideals of human beings — if we demand of government true standards of excellence. At this Bicentennial time of introspection and concern, we must demand such standards. — “Why Not the Best?” I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry. — “Why Not the Best?” Christ said, “I tell you that anyone who looks on a woman with lust has in his heart already committed adultery.” I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do — and I have done it — and God forgives me for it. But that doesn’t mean that I condemn someone who not only looks on a woman with lust but who leaves his wife and shacks up with somebody out of wedlock. — Interview, November 1976 Playboy. This inauguration ceremony marks a new beginning, a new dedication within our Government, and a new spirit among us all. A President may sense and proclaim that new spirit, but only a people can provide it. — Inaugural address, January 1977. It’s clear that the true problems of our nation are much deeper — deeper than gasoline lines or energy shortages, deeper even than inflation and recession. ... All the legislation in the world can’t fix what’s wrong with America. ... It is a crisis of confidence. — So-called “malaise” speech, July 1979. But we know that democracy is always an unfinished creation. Each generation must renew its foundations. Each generation must rediscover the meaning of this hallowed vision in the light of its own modern challenges. For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival; liberty is human rights; the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants. — Farewell Address, January 1981. We appreciate the past. We are grateful for the present and we’re looking forward to the future with great anticipation and commitment. — October 1986, at the dedication of the Carter Presidential Library and Museum. War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other’s children. — December 2002, Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. Fundamentalists have become increasingly influential in both religion and government, and have managed to change the nuances and subtleties of historic debate into black-and-white rigidities and the personal derogation of those who dare to disagree. ... The influence of these various trends poses a threat to many of our nation’s historic customs and moral commitments, both in government and in houses of worship. — From 2005 book “Our Endangered Values.” I think that this breakthrough by Barack Obama has been remarkable. When he made his speech (on race) a few months ago in Philadelphia, I wept. I sat in front of the television and cried, because I saw that as the most enlightening and transforming analysis of racism and a potential end of it that I ever saw in my life. — August 2008, commenting on then-Sen. Barack Obama’s candidacy. I think it’s based on racism. There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president. ... No matter who he is or how much we disagree with his policies, the president should be treated with respect. — September 2009, reacting to Rep. Joe Wilson’s shout of “You lie!” during a speech to Congress by President Barack Obama. I’m still determined to outlive the last guinea worm. — 2010, on The Carter Center’s work to eradicate guinea worm disease. You know how much I raised to run against Gerald Ford? Zero. You know how much I raised to run against Ronald Reagan? Zero. You know how much will be raised this year by all presidential, Senate and House campaigns? $6 billion. That’s 6,000 millions. — September 2012, reacting to the 2010 “Citizens United” U.S. Supreme Court decision permitting unlimited third-party political spending. I have become convinced that the most serious and unaddressed worldwide challenge is the deprivation and abuse of women and girls, largely caused by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare, unfortunately following the example set during my lifetime by the United States. — From 2014 book “A Call to Action.” I don’t think there’s any doubt now that the NSA or other agencies monitor or record almost every telephone call made in the United States, including cellphones, and I presume email as well. We’ve gone a long way down the road of violating Americans’ basic civil rights, as far as privacy is concerned. — March 2014, commenting on U.S. intelligence monitoring after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks We accept self-congratulations about the wonderful 50th anniversary - which is wonderful - but we feel like Lyndon Johnson did it and we don’t have to do anything anymore. — April 2014, commenting on racial inequality during a celebration of the Civil Rights Act’s 40th anniversary. I had a very challenging question at Emory (University) the other night: “How would you describe the United States of America today in one word?” And I didn’t know what to say for a few moments, but I finally said, “Searching.” I think the country in which we live is still searching for what it ought to be, and what it can be, and I’m not sure we’re making much progress right at this moment. — October 2014 during a celebration of his 90th birthday. The life we have now is the best of all. We have an expanding and harmonious family, a rich life in our church and the Plains community, and a diversity of projects at The Carter Center that is adventurous and exciting. Rosalynn and I have visited more than 145 countries, and both of us are as active as we have ever been. We are blessed with good health and look to the future with eagerness and confidence, but are prepared for inevitable adversity when it comes. — From 2015 book, “A Full Life.”Visualizing the Future: Transforming Decisions Through Data
AP Business SummaryBrief at 1:26 p.m. ESTBrighton boss says they’re seeking ‘right solution’ for Evan Ferguson amid load deal speculationThe Indian National Congress failed to score in the Maharashtra assembly elections even as the national party contested 101 seats out of the 288 constituencies. Lack of involvement from central leaders, infighting, lack of strong leadership, not addressing the local issues and confusion of seats impacted the Indian National Congress in the Maharashtra assembly results. “The INC focussed on the issues of the general elections which were non-relevant to Maharashtra. They did not focus on the grassroots problems of the people of Maharashtra while the BJP worked in every constituency throughout the last four months. The BJP learned its lesson and focused on minorities, Dalits and Marathas, their Ladli Behan scheme did wonders. Even inside the Congress, there was confusion, they gave a lot of importance to the Dharavi redevelopment which was focused only on Mumbai but they tried to make it a pan-Maharashtra issue. Even in the interiors, they failed to give a credible resolution to farmers issue,” said political analyst Abhay Deshpande to businessline .Experts stated that the lack of senior party leadership involvement in the election and not learning lessons from other States failed INC to succeed in Maharashtra. Further, despite the party’s strong national stance on farmer issues, it failed to impress the farmers and address their concerns in Maharashtra. “After Loksabha the INC was in overconfidence despite losing Haryana. On the other hand, BJP is in election mode 24/7 and they have a very extensive feedback review system with volunteers going on the field and submitting the results to higher-ups. In Maharashtra, the Congress was not even careful to select candidates,” said Advocate Vijay Kumar, Psephologist.In 2019, INC contested 147 seats in Maharashtra and won 44 seats in the state assembly elections. “The loss lies with the Congress as it is a national party and has a larger influence than other local parties in the influence. The party has ground-level influence across the state especially in backward Maharashtra. However, the party truly failed to understand what people wanted on the ground level and in the rural areas despite having strong powerful leaders from Vidarbha. Infighting with everyone wanting to be a CM face, the congress had a complete absence of State-level leadership in the state,” said Dr Surendra Jondhale, a political analyst. Comments

It would have been the event's 10th anniversary. Organizers say the recent winter storm filled the parade's staging area with snow and there are concerns over snow banks making it difficult for spectators. “Unfortunately, we did have to cancel this year. It's just due to the massive amounts of snow that we've accumulated the last few days. It's not even so much the roads, but it is the sidewalks are so full. We're worried about people being able to even just see the parade,” said Argyle BIA Communications and Creative Director Leah Thomas. “The London Knights, they were always going to come out to the parade, and they were doing a meet and greet at Warehouse Guys after the parade. So now they're just going to go straight to Warehouse Guys [at] 11 a.m., Santa will be stopping by there. If you aren’t able to attend, Argyle BIA has a few other opportunities to meet Santa this month. “We have two Santa socials; one is an open invitation to the community at East Lions Community Center.

A release said the workshop will be held at the IDEA Lab on the SJEC campus. The initiative aims to empower participants with practical skills in electronics, IoT, and innovative technologies, aligning with the National Education Policy’s emphasis on STEM learning and innovation. The workshop is specifically designed to support ATL teachers and students in fostering a culture of problem-solving and creativity. Since its inception in 2021, the SJEC-AICTE IDEA Lab has actively been supporting and training teachers and students of ATLs in DK and Udupi regions. To date, more than 1,000 students and approximately 200 teachers have benefited from workshops and domain-specific hands-on training sessions. The workshop is expected to inspire and equip participants to leverage IoT and innovative technologies in ATL-based projects, encouraging students to address real-world challenges. Teachers will gain valuable insights to guide their students in the upcoming School Innovation Marathon, organised jointly by the Ministry of Education, Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, and the Union Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell.
