Toronto Sceptres open PWHL season with 3-1 comeback win over Boston FleetMore cash is set to flow for Paramount Global executives as the company said two will each receive bonuses of $1 million when the company’s sale to Skydance closes as part of a “transaction award program.” Doretha Lea, EVP, Global Public Policy and Government Relations, and Nancy Phillips, EVP, Chief People Officer are eligible for the payouts, which are contingent on the deal closing to “ensure the successful operation of the Company during the period prior to the completion of the Transactions and to promote the retention of certain key employees through the closing date,” Paramount said in an SEC filing this afternoon. The execs must obviously be working at the company when the sale goes through. Skydance’s $8 billion acquisition of Paramount from Shari Redstone is expected to close in the first half of 2025 . Last month, the company granted its trio of co-CEOs , Chris McCarthy, George Cheeks and Brian Robbins, new grants of restricted stock valued at $3 million. It also said the enhanced compensation, which previously had been set to continue only as long as they were in the Office of the CEO, would apply for the duration of their employment with Paramount in any capacity, CEO or not — so if they were demoted. The trio’s compensation was sweetened in June to reflect their new roles, including an increase in their target annual cash bonuses under the company’s short-term incentive plan by an additional 100% of their annual base salaries. Paramount has been shedding staff ahead of the merger to cut $500 million in costs. A number of board members have exited ahead of the deal’s close.US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation

Rock Island continued its early season success with an 83-46 victory over the Chicago-based Bowen Boilermakers early Saturday afternoon on Day 2 of the Rock Island Thanksgiving Tournament. The Rocks shot 75 percent from the field in the first half and their defense caused 17 turnovers in a well-rounded performance. “We came out and I felt like we did do what we needed to do,” Rock Island head coach Marc Polite said. “We got off to a slow start, but once we settled down, we were able to get some distance.” Bowen is part of the Chicago Public Blue South Conference and finished last season second in the conference with a 21-11 record. However, the Boilermakers have now started the season 0-3. The Rocks pressured the Boilermakers early and often, forcing Bowen to cough up the ball 14 times in the first half with typical Rock Island fullcourt press. The stifling Rocks’ defense did not allow much breathing room for any Bowen offensive player. The Boilermakers solely relied on senior Rae’Qwon Rogers, who scored 17 of Bowen’s 27 first half points, mostly on one-on-one isolation play. Rogers only had two points after halftime. People are also reading... “Bowen is a tough cover,” Polite said. "Whenever a team like them has five guards that they can put on the floor that can dribble and are aggressive with the ball, it really tests our defensive principles. I thought we made some good adjustments after they got rolling in the first quarter.” Bowen took a narrow two-point lead (11-9) with just over four minutes left. The Rocks then turned up the intensity on the defensive side of the ball, ending the quarter on a 13-5 run. Rock Island also shot the ball at a blistering pace in the first quarter, nailing nine of their first 13 attempts, including three-point plays by juniors Avian Thomas and Lawson Zulu. “I felt like we came out strong,” Thomas said. “It was a little sloppy in the beginning, but we came together as a group and stuck with each other and still believed in each other throughout the game.” Thomas had 15 points, with Zulu leading all Rocks with 17 points. The Rocks continued their offensive dominance in the second quarter, ending the first half by converting their last nine shots. Eight of those were either transition layups on Bowen turnovers, or layups in the half-court offense off beautiful assists. “We finally got into a rhythm,” Polite said. “We are a rhythm-based team, and I thought we strung together some possessions that we were indicative of what we were trying to do on the offensive end. I felt like we had two or three stretches where we had some great offensive rhythm and moved the ball around.” “I feel like our aggressiveness leads to our offense,” Thomas added. "When we are hitting wide open shots, we are a tough team to beat.” The Rocks were comfortably ahead at halftime, leading 49-27, and ended the half on a 19-7 run. “That is a big testament to our offense,” Polite said. "I thought we moved the ball well. We have guys who are ball-tough. With teams like Bowen and Dyatt on Friday, they really get after you, and we have to be tough and strong with the basketball.” Rock Island had an amusing moment halfway through the third quarter. Senior Jae’Vion “Juice” Clark-Pugh split the Boilermaker defenders with a monstrous one-handed dunk. The problem was that the ball popped straight up, and Clark-Pugh used his off-hand to dunk the ball again while still hanging on the rim. “I did not think ‘Juice’ was going to grab the ball and put it back in,” Thomas said. “If he had let go, I think the ball would have gone in. But that made us all laugh, and that is what he brings to the team. He is an energetic, big, fun guy and we love him.” “Juice is an athletic kid,” Polite said of that moment. “I thought he played his best game thus far. He played a really complete game. I thought he finished well and played good defense and rebounded the ball well. For us to be successful this year, we are going to need some games like this from him.” Clark-Pugh had 15 points, with all his baskets coming from around the rim. It was not all good news for the Rocks. In the late stages of the third quarter, Rocks’ glue guy and senior Isaiss Duarte went for a layup, with the Rocks up 68-27. Duarte fell hard on his right wrist and was in obvious pain. He immediately went to the locker room with the Rock Island trainer and did not return. “Duarte has to get an X-ray and figure out what is going on,” Polite said. “I think initially, it maybe felt a little bit worse than what it was, but we are hoping to get positive.” Duarte had seven points before leaving with the injury. “’Zay’ is our energy guy,” Thomas said. “He brings in that defense and tenacity, and we are going to miss him. Hopefully, we can have him back by next week, and I think Deven Marshall is going to come in and fill that role. He has been playing really well in this tournament.” The Rocks closed the tournament with a game against Rockridge (2-1) on Saturday night. Details were not available at press time. A full story will be published on Monday. The Rockets fell in a hard-fought, defensive mid-afternoon game against Dyatt, 54-43 on Saturday. “We are a next-man-up. That has always been our philosophy,” Polite said. “We have other guys whare are going to have to step in to contribute and cover some of his stuff. Duarte does so much for us.” Thomas is greatly anticipating Saturday night’s game. “Rockridge is a tough opponent,” Thomas said. "If we play together as a team and throw the first punch like we have been doing over the past three games, we can get out early and run away with this game.” Get in the game with our Prep Sports Newsletter Sent weekly directly to your inbox! {{description}} Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items.
In a nutshell: After leaving the smartphone business three years ago, LG is now apparently scheming a flashy return thanks to an AI-focused partnership with Samsung. The two Korean companies are developing some "revolutionary" AI tech based on the newly introduced ixi-O digital assistant for LG Uplus customers. Next year's Mobile World Congress could see the introduction of the first "real AI phone," a project Samsung and LG are now secretly working on. Unnamed industry sources told KED Global that this new smartphone will include a highly advanced digital assistant, with AI technology designed to go beyond the simplistic integration of some third-party AI assistant service in a pre-existing mobile device. LG Uplus, a South Korean mobile network operator, introduced its ixi-O AI call assistant technology earlier this month. The ixi-O agent can provide AI services such as answering and summarizing phone calls, converting audio into text, and detecting scam attempts. The technology works entirely on-device and is LG's attempt to enter the burgeoning AI business. Despite being part of the LG conglomerate, LG Uplus will not make new smartphones. Instead, the company will provide its ixi-O agent to Samsung to integrate into select Galaxy devices. According to the insiders, the two companies are working on a tighter knit between AI capabilities and smartphones. With Samsung's powerful Galaxy hardware, ixi-O will provide end customers with a "revolutionary" AI experience. LG Uplus, South Korea's smallest mobile carrier, is making the new AI phone exclusive to its subscribers. The current version of ixi-O is available on Apple iPhone 14 devices. Even if LG Uplus plans to manage its jointly developed AI phone as a strictly Korean affair, Samsung could have broader plans. The manufacturing giant might be interested in bringing the "Galaxy ixi-O" digital assistant to other models, working in partnership with more mobile carriers to offer the new AI tech outside South Korea. LG Uplus is investing heavily in AI ventures. According to Chief Executive Hwang Hyeon-sik, the company plans to sink up to 3 trillion won (or $2.1 billion) into AI tech while seeking high-profile partnerships with Google, Amazon, and other major technology corporations.

Afterward, a brawl broke out as Michigan players made their way to the center of the Ohio Stadium field to plant the team flag after their win in Columbus. Incensed Ohio State captain Jack Sawyer expressed that he did not want to allow the Wolverines to plant their flag again after which a brawl broke out near the block 'O.' Afterward, Warren sent a stern message to Buckeyes players about the flag planting incident and the brawl that broke out afterward.

Warren threw for just 62 yards on 9-of-16 passing along with two interceptions. He second came inside the five yard line as his pass was snagged by Sawyer, nearly igniting a comeback for the losing team. Michigan's win constituted their fourth straight in the series, second straight in enemy territory as the Wolverines capped off coach Sherrone Moore's first season with Jim Harbaugh's former team in style.
