AI is a game changer for students with disabilities. Schools are still learning to harness itA melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out.

There was a dispute through the trial over whether Opposition Leader John Pesutto had agreed to exonerate Moira Deeming and release a joint statement in the compromise meeting from March 27, 2023. Pesutto rejected that he broke this agreement and said she was never owed a full exoneration as part of the deal, nor that he was going to release a statement with her. Victorian Opposition Leader John Pesutto (left). Credit: Luis Enrique Ascui He said his office was going to assist her in releasing her own statement. This is what the Federal Court has found: I do not accept that Mr Pesutto was untruthful about that. Mrs Deeming’s understanding of the expression ‘joint statement’ is inherently a more likely one, but I accept Mr Pesutto’s evidence that that is not what he subjectively understood he had agreed to. There was also a dispute about whether the parties’ intermediaries also agreed that Mrs Deeming was entitled to a ‘full exoneration’, and that Mr Pesutto also reneged on that deal. The witnesses, to be sure, had different recollections about the matter, but I am not satisfied that any meeting of minds occurred to that effect. As Mr Pesutto said in his second affidavit, if Mrs Deeming was to be fully exonerated there would have been no need for a nine month suspension. Moira Deeming has released a statement, saying that she is “grateful to God” for the outcome. She thanked her lawyers and the court. “The judge found that I was defamed in five separate publications and that each of those also caused serious harm to my reputation,” she wrote on X. Moira Deeming wore purple during the trial, a colour historically associated with efforts to achieve gender equality. Credit: The Age Every single one of Mr Pesutto’s defences, failed. “This judgment is a public acknowledgment that there was never any justification – legal, moral or political – for what the Opposition Leader did to me and to my family. The organisers and attendees of the 2023 Melbourne ‘Let Women Speak’ Rally did nothing wrong and it is shameful that they were treated without fairness or respect by so many in public office. I will continue to fight for the rights of parents, women and children - and I know I won’t be alone. I am pleased with this result and relieved to have been vindicated. It has been an incredibly tough 22 months for me and my family but I can now start to move forward with the judgment today clearing my name. Thank you to everyone who stood by me and defended me despite personal and political differences and regardless of the cost – friends, strangers, opponents, Liberal members and colleagues. Thanks to everyone who prayed, wrote, donated and told the truth. And finally, thank you to my family, especially my husband.

Opposition Leader John Pesutto argued four defences in the defamation case: public interest, honest opinion, qualified privilege and contextual truth. John Pesutto and Moira Deeming. Credit: Darrian Traynor Justice David O’Callaghan found the defences either failed, or did not arise. However, he wrote in his lengthy reasons that he was satisfied the Opposition Leader did “subjectively” believe what he published was in the public interest. “I accept Mr Pesutto’s evidence that he subjectively believed that it was necessary immediately to explain to the public why he proposed to move a motion to expel Mrs [Moira] Deeming,” the judge wrote. “I also accept Mr Pesutto’s evidence that he thought staying silent was not an option and that he needed to address the issue to retain credibility because the public would be watching to see how the party responded to the presence of Nazis on the steps of Parliament.” The judge criticised Pesutto for “time and time again” giving lengthy and non-responsive answers to questions asked of him by Deeming’s barrister, Sue Chrysanthou, SC. “I understand that when politicians are engaged in the cut and thrust of politics – facing tough questions in press conferences, for example – their job can involve deflecting questions, pivoting to another topic, or running out the clock,” the judge wrote. “But that is not the role of a witness in a court proceeding.” Chrysanthou argued Pesutto was an untruthful witness in many aspects of his evidence. “Ultimately, however, I am unable to conclude that he gave dishonest evidence about his subjective belief on the public interest question, as infuriatingly unresponsive as much of his evidence was,” O’Callaghan wrote. Justice David O’Callaghan said it was “extraordinary” that both Opposition Leader John Pesutto and deputy David Southwick had failed to mention a secret recording of the March 19, 2023, meeting held the day after the rally. Southwick secretly recorded the meeting and informed Pesutto months later. Pesutto only raised it with his lawyers a week before the trial began. As it turns out, no witness’s account of the meeting in their affidavits was anywhere near accurate or complete. Both parties invited me to draw adverse inferences against each relevant deponent for having failed to give an accurate account of it. Each witness might be said to varying degrees to have provided their own slant to things, and to have recorded their memories through the prism of their own cause, but I do not accept that any witness gave a deliberately untruthful version of the meeting in their affidavits. O’Callaghan also said it was “mystifying” Southwick kept the recording secret so long and that Pesutto’s explanation was “dubious.” For Sue Chrysanthou, celebrity lawyer, today’s decision is another notch in her defamation belt.

Court costs are yet to be determined, and will be decided upon at a later date, which is yet to be set. “The only order that will be made today upon the publication of these reasons is to adjourn the matter to a date to be fixed for the purpose of the parties bringing in orders to give effect to the published reasons and to deal with any argument as to the grant of any injunctive relief, and as to the calculation of interests and costs,” the judge wrote. Justice David O’Callaghan found that Opposition Leader John Pesutto conveyed several defamatory imputations against ousted Liberal MP Moira Deeming, including that she knowingly associated with neo-Nazis and was unfit to belong in the Victorian Liberals. The imputations were conveyed through a media release, 3AW interview, ABC interview, press conference, and an expulsion motion and dossier, he said. Here’s what the court found: Media release: The media release carried the imputation Deeming was unfit to belong in the Victorian parliamentary Liberal Party because she knowingly associates with neo-Nazis. 3AW radio interview: Conveyed that Deeming associates with Nazis and is thus unfit to be a member of the parliamentary Liberal Party. ABC interview: Conveyed that Deeming knowingly associates or sympathises with neo-Nazis and white supremacists and is thus unfit to be a member of the parliamentary Liberal Party and the Liberal Party. Press conference: Conveyed that Deeming participated in a rally and knowingly worked with Kellie-Jay Keen and other organisers to help them promote their odious agenda and white supremacist and ethnofascist views. Expulsion motion and dossier: Conveyed that a) Deeming so conducted herself on 18 March 2023 in relation to a public rally that it warranted her expulsion from the Victorian parliamentary Liberal Party. b) Conducted activities in a manner likely to bring discredit on the parliament or the parliamentary Liberal Party by organising, promoting and attending a rally on 18 March 2023. O’Callaghan found Deeming had established serious harm and that Pesutto’s defences failed or did not arise. Supporters for Deeming applauded as they exited courtroom 8A. Aggravated damages will not be awarded. The court will return to determine costs.

(AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File) ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state government agencies will have to conduct reviews and publish reports that detail how they're using artificial intelligence software, under a new law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul. Hochul, a Democrat, signed the bill last week after it was passed by state lawmakers earlier this year. The law requires state agencies to perform assessments of any software that uses algorithms, computational models or AI techniques, and then submit those reviews to the governor and top legislative leaders along with posting them online. It also bars the use of AI in certain situations, such as an automated decision on whether someone receives unemployment benefits or child care assistance, unless the system is being consistently monitored by a human. State workers would also be shielded from having their hours or job duties limited because of AI under the law. State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, called the law an important step in setting up some guardrails in how the emerging technology is used in state government.

(AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by handing out more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations Monday, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it's possible that Buffett's children could die before giving it all away. He didn't identify the successors, but said his kids all know them and agree they would be good choices. “Father time always wins. But he can be fickle – indeed unfair and even cruel – sometimes ending life at birth or soon thereafter while, at other times, waiting a century or so before paying a visit,” the 94-year-old Buffett said in a letter to his fellow shareholders Monday. “To date, I’ve been very lucky, but, before long, he will get around to me. There is, however, a downside to my good fortune in avoiding his notice. The expected life span of my children has materially diminished since the 2006 pledge. They are now 71, 69 and 66.” Buffett said he still has no interest in creating dynastic wealth in his family — a view shared by his first and current wives. He acknowledged giving Howard, Peter and Susie millions over the years, but he has long said he believes “hugely wealthy parents should leave their children enough so they can do anything but not enough that they can do nothing.” The secret to building up such massive wealth over time has been the power of compounding interest and the steady growth of the Berkshire conglomerate Buffett leads through acquisitions and smart investments like buying billions of dollars of Apple shares as iPhone sales continued to drive growth in that company. Buffett never sold any of his Berkshire stock over the years and also resisted the trappings of wealth and never indulged in much — preferring instead to continue living in the same Omaha home he'd bought decades earlier and drive sensible luxury sedans about 20 blocks to work each day. “As a family, we have had everything we needed or simply liked, but we have not sought enjoyment from the fact that others craved what we had,” he said. If Buffett and his first wife had never given away any of their Berkshire shares, the family's fortune would be worth nearly $364 billion — easily making him the world's richest man — but Buffett said he had no regrets about his giving over the years. The family's giving began in earnest with the distribution of Susan Buffett's $3 billion estate after her death in 2004, but really took off when Warren Buffett announced plans in 2006 to make annual gifts to the foundations run by his kids along with the one he and his wife started, as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Warren Buffett's giving to date has favored the Gates Foundation with $55 billion in stock because his friend Bill Gates already had his foundation set up and could handle huge gifts when Buffett started giving away his fortune. But Buffett has said his kids now have enough experience in philanthropy to handle the task and he plans to cut off his Gates Foundation donations after his death. Buffett always makes his main annual gifts to all five foundations every summer, but for several years now he has been giving additional Berkshire shares to his family's foundations at Thanksgiving. Buffett reiterated Monday his advice to every parent to allow their families to read their will while they are still alive — like he has done — to make sure they have a chance to explain their decisions about how to distribute their belongings and answer their children's questions. Buffett said he and his longtime investing partner Charlie Munger, who died a year ago, “saw many families driven apart after the posthumous dictates of the will left beneficiaries confused and sometimes angry.” Today, Buffett continues to lead Berkshire Hathaway as chairman and CEO and has no plans to retire although he has handed over most of the day-to-day managing duties for the conglomerates dozens of companies to others. That allows him to focus on his favorite activity of deciding where to invest Berkshire's billions . One of Buffett's deputies who oversees all the noninsurance companies now, Greg Abel, is set to take over as CEO after Buffett's death. Even after converting 1,600 Class A shares into 2.4 million Class B Berkshire shares and giving them away, Buffett still owns 206,363 Class A shares and controls more than 30% of the vote.

It’s a safe bet Gov. Kevin Stitt and Attorney General Gentner Drummond didn’t exchange Christmas gifts. The enmity between two of state elected leadership’s top dawgs is palpable – vividly illustrated by Drummond’s decision to skip December’s state Board of Equalization meeting and instead release a statement scorning Stitt’s fiscal ciphering. “I come from the private sector,” the AG said, “where you don’t play games with your budget. After sitting through several of these meetings, as well as briefings from the governor’s chosen staff, I can tell you that I have no confidence in the accuracy or completeness of the governor’s budget numbers.” Ouch! Makes Ronald Reagan’s 11 th Commandment – Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican – seem almost quaint, doesn’t it? The broadside was hardly a political thunderbolt, of course. Storm clouds began churning soon after Drummond took office in 2023, in no small part because Stitt seems to think the attorney general works for him. A Civics 101 refresher: The AG is a constitutional officer. Independent. Duly elected. Not a hack appointee at the beck-and-call of the governor. This clearly is difficult for Stitt to swallow. During his first term, he repeatedly clashed with then-Attorney General Mike Hunter, who favored the law over the governor’s predilections. When Hunter resigned amid personal scandal, Stitt exercised his authority to appoint an obsequious replacement – John O’Connor. O’Connor’s reign didn’t last long. Voters rejected his bid for a full, four-year term, embracing Drummond instead; independence over servility. What followed was two tempestuous years in which Stitt attempted to impose his will – regardless of the law – and Drummond resisted. Think: the governor’s support for creating the nation’s first taxpayer funded private school, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual Charter School, which Drummond opposed in court because it clearly violates the state Constitution’s ban on spending public dollars for sectarian purposes. The Stitt-Drummond skirmishing is delicious political theater, to be sure. But for taxpayers, the AG’s Molotov aimed at the governor’s FY’26 budget figures is gravely important. How so? Because Oklahoma’s deepest pockets believe their fondest dream, eliminating the state income tax, is within reach with Stitt, one of their own, in the Capitol’s second-floor corner office, and a supermajority of term-limited, short-timers in the Legislature. That is an especially disconcerting combination when early projections suggest the state may have a half-a-billion dollars less to spend next year – even though costs continue to rise. Neither Stitt nor most current legislators were in office the last time income tax cuts and an economic downturn blew a billion-dollar hole in the state budget. Do we really want to repeat the 2018 nightmare that led to a statewide teacher walkout? The fact is, the income tax is the state treasury’s largest revenue generator. If it were eliminated, where would Oklahoma get the money to keep schools open, roads paved and other vital services funded? Higher sales taxes? Property taxes? Gasoline taxes? More toll roads? Eliminating the personal income tax – the fairest tax of all because it is based on ability to pay – would shift more of the tax burden onto workaday Sooners, the folks for whom an extra penny or two at the gas pump or dollar on the turnpike can become budget-busting. For the record: Oklahoma’s top personal income tax rate – 4.75% – is far from onerous. Yes, it’s 4.75% more than in Texas, where there is no personal income tax. But before you get all misty-eyed about how Oklahoma should be more like Texas, compare property taxes in the two states. That alone should send a chill up the spine of Oklahoma homeowners and landowners. Arnold Hamilton is editor of The Oklahoma Observer; okobserver.org.
NoneFirst Solar's FSLR short percent of float has risen 27.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.10 million shares sold short , which is 9.92% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.81 days to cover their short positions on average. Why Short Interest Matters Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises. Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish. See Also: List of the most shorted stocks First Solar Short Interest Graph (3 Months) As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for First Solar has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted. Comparing First Solar's Short Interest Against Its Peers Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis. According to Benzinga Pro , First Solar's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.68%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers. Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.

Cardinals' feel-good month comes to a screeching halt after a head-scratching loss to SeahawksIn a bombshell revelation, veteran Sydney Swans senior coach John Longmire is reportedly ‘quitting’, with a club announcement coming on Tuesday. Watch every game of the NAB AFL Women’s Finals Series LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. Longmire has a year to run on his current contract, but according to Nine’s Tom Morris , the 53-year-old is set to announce his resignation from the role. The 14-year mentor met with senior Sydney players on Tuesday to discuss his future, per Seven’s Mitch Cleary . The Swans have scheduled a ‘major club announcement’ for 1:30pm. Morris added Longmire’s call was only made ‘in the last week or two’ amid a long-mooted succession plan involving right-hand man Dean Cox. SEN reporter Sam Edmund said the news had been communicated to Longmire’s ‘inner circle’ in recent days. “Next season was most likely to be his last year — that’s what those close to John Longmire were saying — but certainly, in the last three-to-four days, a decision has been made by ‘Horse’ himself and communicated to his inner circle over the weekend,” Edmund told SEN . “The players are being informed today en masse that their coach will be resigning today, effective immediately ... and then we await confirmation that Dean Cox — the assistant coach who was such a person of interest for the West Coast position — will take charge.” As coach, Longmire coached Sydney to a premiership in his second year in charge but has since gone on to post a 1-4 record in grand finals — including this year’s demoralising 60-point defeat to the Brisbane Lions. Longmire holds an overall record of 194-3-108 and a winning clip of 64.1 per cent. MORE TO COME.
