The Orangeburg Touchdown Club concluded its 22nd season Thursday with SC State head coach Chennis Berry giving an overview of his team’s MEAC championship season. “We still have some work to do (this season),” Berry said. “We know there’s some work down the line a few weeks from now, but my focus is on a good Norfolk State football team. I always make sure our players are locked into the task at hand. We’re focused on now.” Support local journalism by becoming a member at www.TheTandD.com.

As Berry laid out his coaching philosophy, he was sure to highlight what he and his staff do off the field for the team. “This game of football has an expiration date,” Berry said. “We want to make sure these young men continue to win of the field. They will be fathers, husbands and leaders of the community long after playing football. We concentrate on a holistic development because we care about them.” Orangeburg Touchdown Club members Willie Jeffries, far left, and Oliver 'Buddy' Pough, far right, recognize Orangeburg-Wilkinson's Jordan Avinger, center right, and Denmark-Olar's Robert Bovain as the Players of the Week during Thursday's meeting. Berry also invited SC State’s defensive coordinator Jordan Odaffer and offensive coordinator Johnathan Williams to address the club. Odaffer has helped lead an SC State defense that is second in the MEAC in total defense and leads the league in rushing defense. Defensive end Ashaad Hall leads the league in sacks and tackles for loss. Odaffer said he and his staff track 17 defensive metrics on four different levels (elite, acceptable, needs improvement and failure). “Out of the 17 metrics, we currently have 10 at the elite level meaning we’re in the top ten percent of teams in the country,” Odaffer said. “I could not be prouder of our young men, but it has everything to do with them and their work and nothing to do with me.” Williams has helped South Carolina State become the MEAC leader in total offense averaging just over 418 yards per game. SC State currently has the top three receivers in the league in Caden High, Einaj Carter and Justin Smith-Brown. “We’re charged with the task of bridging the gap between potential and performance,” Williams said. “We saw that potential either on the field or during the recruiting process, but we had to get (our players) to perform. We don’t ask our guys to be great, just that they are consistently good every day.” Orangeburg Touchdown Club member Willie Jeffries, left, and Candace Berry-Vaughn, executive director of the Orangeburg County Community of Character present the Willie Jeffries Character Award to Branchville's Khasean Saldano. The Orangeburg Community of Character presented its Willie Jeffries Character Award to Branchville lineman Khasean Saldano.

Wade Taylor IV helps No. 22 Texas A&M get by Texas Tech
In an ideal world, the home fans of an NFL team are respectful to the fans and family members of the visiting team on a weekly basis, but that is not always the case. And, according to the wife of a Cleveland Browns player, that was not the case during the team's Week 14 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. After losing to the Browns on their home turf a few weeks back, the Steelers were able to get revenge in Week 14, beating the Browns in convincing fashion, 27-14. Following the game, the wife of Browns offensive lineman Wyatt Teller took to social media to express her frustration with the way her and the wives of other Browns players were treated by Steelers fans during the contest. "The fans in Pittsburgh today were so blatantly disrespectful to me and the Browns girls," Carly Teller wrote on X . "I’ve never felt so attacked by people who I literally did nothing to. Very sad/embarrassing behavior." The Steelers and Browns have a long, heated history with one another, and that no doubt extends to the division rivals' fans. But that's no excuse to act in a disrespectful manner, especially to the family members of players who are just there to cheer on their loved ones. Sadly, not all fans agree with that, something that is abundantly clear based on what Teller's wife tweeted out on Sunday afternoon. What can't be lost in this situation is the fact that not all Steelers fans subscribe to what some were allegedly up to on Sunday. Don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — It doesn't happen all that often, but when it does, it can seem like a dream come true for sports gamblers: being able to bet on a game after it has already ended. And it has happened again in Atlantic City, where a sportsbook has been fined for taking $25,000 worth of bets on college basketball and hockey games and boxing matches after they were over. In action made public last week, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined William Hill Sportsbook $20,000 for bets it wrongly took in 2022 and 2023. The company voided most of the bets after discovering the errors. But others had already been paid out to customers. William Hill operates retail sportsbooks in Atlantic City at the Caesars, Harrah's and Tropicana casinos. The casinos' parent company, Caesars Entertainment, did not respond to messages seeking comment Friday and Monday. According to documents from the enforcement division, on Feb. 23 and 24, 2022, it took 42 bets via in-person kiosks on 12 college basketball games after the results were already known. William Hill paid just over $5,000 to customers on six bets before it became aware of the error. The remainder of the bets were voided and the customers' initial wagers were returned to them. William Hill blamed the error on a sportsbook content supplier, London-based OpenBet, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. Similar errors allowed illegal bets on two boxing matches. On June 11, 2022, William Hill took bets on a Chris Kongo-Sebastian Formella boxing match that it had advertised as starting at noon. However, the match began at 11:15 a.m. and concluded at 11:55 a.m. On April 15, 2023, William Hill took bets on a Denzel Bentley-Kieran Smith fight after it, too, had already ended. The company listed the fight as a noon start, but it began at 11:55 a.m. and ended just 45 seconds later with a knockout. The division also fined Amelco, a London-based sports betting technology company, $10,000 for violations including allowing sportsbook PlayUp to take a bet in March 2022 on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg becoming the next U.S. president. Although recent court decisions allowed political betting in last month's election, it was not allowed at the time the bet was made. PlayUp utilized Amelco and Sportradar as its sportsbook providers. In documents filed with the enforcement division, Amelco said Sportradar listed the U.S. presidential election under a category of bets that Amelco marked as “true,” automatically listing it on its menu of betting markets. Amelco told the division its own trading team failed to recognize the U.S. election as an event that was not authorized to be bet upon. Sportradar said it does not label any of the betting markets in its data feed as authorized or unauthorized, adding it is the responsibility of each sports betting company to make sure they only offer bets that comply with local laws. Sportradar also noted that the division did not assess a fine against it, adding that Amelco was “solely liable” for the violation. PlayUp also accepted two bets worth nearly $700 on a Seton Hall University basketball game on Jan. 18, 2023, in violation of a state law prohibiting bets on New Jersey college teams. PlayUp and Amelco did not respond to requests for comment Monday. The $1 bet on Buttigieg was voided. It's not the first time this has happened. In November 2021, the division fined the Malta-based sports betting technology company Kambi Group and Chicago-based Rush Street Interactive $1,000 apiece for taking bets on a British soccer game that was already over . And in September, it fined bet365 $33,000 for taking bets on already-completed basketball, golf and mixed martial arts events.

"Wicked" has made its gravity-defying leap from stage to screen, and fans are flying to the theaters. The film, the first of a of the hit Broadway musical, is expected to have the third-biggest U.S. box office film debut of the year, coming in behind “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Inside Out 2," . Online, fans are praising standout performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the vibrancy and cinematography of Jon M. Chu's direction and the surprising emotional weight of the story, which is inspired by the "i am not the same person i was 3 hours ago," an update to an previous post sharing that they were now watching "Wicked." Many praised specific actors. One X user called Erivo's version of Elphaba "Also the PIPES!!!!" they added, referencing Erivo's powerhouse vocals. Another complimented Ariana Grande's comedic timing as Glinda and her range in "No One Mourns The Wicked," the opening track that sees Glinda publicly celebrate the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, who viewers later learn was her closest friend. Jonathan Bailey, who plays Fiyero in the film, received no shortage of praise for his effusive chemistry on screen and "exquisite management of his charisma," as "The funniest non-spoilery thing about #Wicked is that it’s not just the girls who are swooning for Fiyero. EVERYONE at Shiz is into him, and you never question it because it feels 100% realistic," another "Jonathan Bailey needs to open a school of chemistry because more men need what he has. genuinely why did he have chemistry with every single person in wicked. what is he doing. how is this possible. someone stop him (don’t)," Many on social media shouted out specific musical moments, including the climactic finale of "Defying Gravity" and the rousing and emotional "Dancing Through Life" scene at the Ozdust Ballroom. "this entire defying gravity sequence is gonna stick with me for the rest of my life. a lifechanging movie experience," "this killed me," , captioning a GIF of Glinda wiping away one of Elphaba's tears as they danced together at the Ozdust. Several fans pointed out certain details of the release that made them hesitant to see it, including splitting the "Wicked" musical into two parts and Part One's lengthy runtime — clocking in at more than two hours, 40 minutes. But after seeing the film, some viewers said those reservations were no longer an issue. "I was the biggest skeptic of splitting Wicked into two films but it was FULLY WORTH IT. Easily one of, if not the best movie musicals of the 21st century. I need part 2, and I need a full theme park land," "That was the shortest 2 hours and 40 minutes of my life. I was spellbound," One X user said seeing the film made them understand , which sparked in the weeks leading up to the film's release Nov. 22. "u cant even laugh about ariana and cynthia being dramatic anymore after u watch bc u can genuinely tell wicked IS that serious for them... the love they have for the project really radiated like wow," Over on TikTok, many viewers posted videos spliced together with their reactions before and after watching "Wicked." The overwhelming theme? Tears. Lots and lots of tears. "Here's us before the 'Wicked' movie," at the Los Angeles premiere Nov. 9. The next clip, which is noted "After:," shows Olsen sobbing. ("Same," who originated the role of Glinda in the Broadway musical, notably commented.) “Not a single dry eye in theater,” reads the text on one TikTok that was re with the message, “absolutely EVERYONE cries during wicked. no matter the age nor the gender.” Still, some say they're planning to go through the emotional experience all over again. "saw #wicked tonight and already have plans to see it 3 more times," , accompanied by a viral GIF of Grande crying in an interview. (Universal Pictures and TODAY.com share a parent company, Comcast.)

Chester bus and train station alert – police say “we are now happy there is nothing untoward”Editor’s note: “Quantum Computing Revolution: The Gargantuan Opportunity Investors Shouldn’t Ignore” was previously published in November 2024 with the title, “Quantum Computing: the Key to Unlocking AI’s Full Potential?” It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available. For the past two years, AI stocks have been all the rage on Wall Street, regularly outperforming the broader market. Exchange-traded funds – such as the Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF ( AIQ ) and the ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF ( ARKQ ) – represent strong proxies for the industry as a whole. And as you can see in the graph below, those AI plays have been killing it . But recently, a new evolution of AI stocks has emerged as, potentially, this whole AI Revolution’s biggest winners. They’re called “ QAI ,” or Quantum Artificial Intelligence , stocks. These are trades at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. And they have absolutely soared over recent months. One is up more than 400% since early September 2024, while another has popped more than 500%. And those are the “small” winners... Three other QAI stocks have rocketed 1,000% in that same time – with one up more than 3,500%! These companies are creating the next-gen quantum computers that could entirely revolutionize AI software development and create a new class of super-powered AI applications. And some may just end up being the biggest market winners of this decade. To understand why, we’ll need to take a deep look into this groundbreaking technology. What Is Quantum Computing? Let me start by saying that the underlying physics of this technological breakthrough – quantum mechanics – is a highly complex topic. It would likely require over 500 pages to fully understand. But, alas, here’s my best job at making a Cliff’s Notes version in 500 words instead. For centuries, scientists have developed, tested, and validated the laws of the physical world, known as classical mechanics. These scientifically explain how and why things work, where they come from, so on and so forth. But in 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron. And he unveiled a new, subatomic world of super-small things that didn’t obey the laws of classical mechanics... at all. Instead, they obeyed their own set of rules, which have since become known as quantum mechanics. The rules of quantum mechanics differ from that of classical mechanics in two very weird, almost-magical ways. First , in classical mechanics, objects are in one place at one time. You are either at the store or at home, not both. But in quantum mechanics, subatomic particles can theoretically exist in multiple places at once before they’re observed. A single subatomic particle can exist in point A and point B at the same time until we observe it. And at that point, it only exists at either point A or point B. So, the true “location” of a subatomic particle is some combination of all its possible positions. This is called quantum superposition . Entanglement Second , in classical mechanics, objects can only “work” with things that are also “real.” Of course, you can’t use an imaginary friend to help move the couch. You need a real friend instead. But remember how the true location of a subatomic particle is the combination of all of its probabilistic states? Well, all those states are not independent; they’re entangled. So, if we know something about the probabilistic positioning of one subatomic particle, then we know something about the probabilistic positioning of another. It’s all connected. And that means that theoretically, all of these probabilistic states can work together, all at once, to create a super-complex ecosystem. This is called quantum entanglement. Between entanglement and superpositioning, subatomic particles can theoretically have multiple probabilistic states at once. And all those states can work together – again, all at once – to accomplish some task. Pretty wild, right? It goes against everything classical mechanics taught us about the world. It goes against common sense. But it’s true. It’s real. And now, for the first time ever, we are learning how to harness this unique phenomenon to change everything about everything ... That is why some folks think quantum computing could be more revolutionary for humankind than the discovery of fire or the invention of the wheel. And I agree. Mark my words. Quantum mechanics could very well reshape our world over the next few years. And some investors may end up making a lot of money because of it. Quantum Computing Will Change the World You see; the study of quantum theory has made huge advancements over the past century, especially so over the past decade. Scientists at leading laboratories and tech companies have started figuring out how to harness the almost-magical powers of quantum mechanics to make a new generation of super quantum computers . These devices are infinitely faster and more powerful than even today’s fastest supercomputers. In the words of Haim Israel, Bank of America’s head of Thematic Research: Again, the physics behind quantum computers is highly complex. But here’s my shortened version... Today’s computers are built on top of the laws of classical mechanics. That is, they store information on what are called bits , which can store data binarily as either “1” or “0.” But what if you could turn those classical bits into quantum bits – qubits – to leverage superpositioning to be both “1” and “0” stores at once? Further, what if you could leverage entanglement and have all multi-state qubits work together to solve computationally taxing problems? Theoretically, you’d create a machine with so much computational power that it would make today’s most advanced supercomputers seem ancient. That’s exactly what’s happening today. The Possibilities Behind Quantum Computing Earlier this month, Google unveiled its latest quantum processor, Willow. At that reveal, Google announced that Willow had solved a complex calculation – one that takes its fastest classical supercomputer around 10 septillion years to complete – in just five minutes . Ten septillion years (which, written out, is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) cut down to five minutes... That is the very real power of quantum computers. Just imagine the possibilities if we could shorten and simplify all the world’s problems in a similar manner. We may finally have the level of AI that you see in movies. Arguably the biggest limitation to today’s AI is the robustness of machine learning algorithms, which are constrained by supercomputing capacity. Expand that capacity, and you’d get infinitely improved machine learning algos – and infinitely smarter AI. We may be able to eradicate disease . Of course, we already have tools like gene editing. But, as with AI, gene editing tech’s effectiveness relies on the robustness of the underlying computing capacity to identify, target, insert, cut, or repair genes. With quantum computing capacity, all that could happen without error in seconds. What about a million-mile EV? We can only improve batteries if we can test them. And we can only test in the real world so much. Therefore, one way to unlock a million-mile battery is through simulation. And the higher the underlying computing capacity, the faster and more effective the simulations. There’s seemingly no limit to what such powerful computing capacity could lead us to... Which means the economic opportunities here are truly enormous. The Final Word That is why I state with such confidence that quantum computing is the most underrated and most transformational technological breakthrough since the internet. In fact, it may be bigger than the internet. And Wall Street is starting to take notice. Per my research, there are five noteworthy pure QAI stocks. All five are up more than 5X since early September. Three have surged more than 10X: Quantum Computing ( QUBT ), Rigetti ( RGTI ), and D-Wave Quantum ( QBTS ). And one – QUBT – has rocketed an astounding 35X. These stocks are on fire. Though, to be sure, not all of them will succeed in the long run. Some of these QAI stocks will be flashes in the pan, like how Pets.com or Webvan were back in the 1990s. But some could easily become the next Nvidia ( NVDA ) or Microsoft ( MSFT ). And that’s why, at the very least, you should pay close attention to developments in the quantum computing industry. We’re definitely watching this industry like hawks, following every technical development and the stocks that seem to hold the most promise. If you want to stick with – and profit from – these game-changing QAI stocks, I think we’re the best suited to help you do just that. Check out our research services today to learn more.

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, in the Registration Statement and throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PACS engaged in a "scheme" to submit false Medicare claims which "drove more than 100% of PACS' operating and net income from 2020 - 2023"; (2) PACS engaged in a "scheme" to "bill thousands of unnecessary respiratory and sensory integration therapies to Medicare"; (3) PACS engaged in a scheme to falsify documentation related to licensure and staffing; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about PACS' business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the PACS class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email ... for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified.
