Ange Postecoglou’s problems deepened as a disappointing Tottenham were held to a 1-1 Europa League draw at Rangers and the manager found it impossible to defend his striker Timo Werner. “He wasn’t playing at anywhere near the level he should be,” said Postecoglou after substituting the German at half-time. “Timo’s first-half performance was not acceptable to me. I told Timo that he’s a German international, that I need everyone to be trying to give their best and this wasn’t an acceptable example. I expect a lot more from the senior guys. “But we weren’t anywhere near our best, I think it’s fair to say that we’re in a period of games that we’re grinding through at the moment. But in the context of where we are in Europe and with our squad fairly depleted by injuries it was an important point.” Spurs are ninth in the initial stage of the Europa League but, with two games to come next month they hope to finish in the top eight and proceed straight to the knockout out phase, thereby avoiding February’s play offs. As a former Celtic manager, Postecoglou was greeted by choruses of “sacked in the morning” as Hamza Igamane gave Rangers the lead before the substitute Dejan Kulusevski equalised on a night when Fraser Forster shone in the visiting goal. “Rangers are difficult to play against, especially here at Ibrox on European nights,” said the Australian. “With the nature of the competition and the atmosphere, not many teams can come here and win so you expect a tough game. It was a tough, tight game for us and I thought we did well to claw it back after Rangers took the lead.” The home manager, Philippe Clement, whose side sit eighth in the Europa League table, hailed an outstanding advertisement for the game north of the border. “I think we should have won and we deserved to win but to play that well against a strong Premier League side was a very good advertisement for Scottish football,” said the Belgian. “I’m very proud about the performance. It’s a big step up for us. “My squad are not satisfied with the draw, they wanted to win and they were really close to winning. We wanted to impose our football on Tottenham and create something for our forwards. We didn’t want to just protect our 18-yard box and wait for the ball to drop out of the sky and my players grabbed this chance to show everybody we could do something special with both hands. There is a lot of potential in my squad and, tonight, they played fast and made fast decisions.” Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Postecoglou’s injury-hit group face games against Hoffenheim and Elfsborg in January. “I thought we worked our way back into the game and scored a good goal. “It’s fair to say we’re in a bit of a struggle. Being down on numbers, the players understand that a lot of them, we’re asking for a lot of repeated efforts and it takes its toll.”
The University of Iowa has formed a new task force to update its digital assets for compliance with a new ADA rule. (Photo by Brooklyn Draisey/Iowa Capital Dispatch) The University of Iowa has created a new task force to handle updates to the university’s websites and other digital assets in response to changes to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Accessibility Task Force will lead efforts to comply with a new rule added to Title II by the U.S. Department of Justice, according to a news release, which requires accessible web content and apps. The deadline to put these changes in place is April 24, 2026. “Ensuring compliance with Title II is crucial and required for our university,” said Liz Tovar, executive officer and associate vice president of the Division of Access, Opportunity, and Diversity, in the release. “It demonstrates our commitment to accessibility for all members of our community and builds on our strategic goal of providing a welcoming and respectful environment for all Hawkeyes.” SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX Tovar will sponsor the 15-member task force alongside Steve Fleagle, associate vice president and chief information officer of Information Technology Services, according to the release. According to a fact sheet from the U.S. Department of Justice, the new rule places technical standards that public entities need to meet in order to have their websites and apps be accessible to those with disabilities. Entities like the UI must follow Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines , the fact sheet stated, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. Included in the guidelines are practices like providing alternative text for pictures and other non-text assets, making text easy to understand and ensuring that people can use inputs other than a keyboard to navigate through a website. All areas of the UI will see changes as a result of the new rule, according to the release, from academics to health care to athletics, and university policies will be updated. The task force will find which digital systems should be prioritized for a “remediation process,” the release stated, and identify where exceptions listed in the rule apply. The task force will also work with third-party vendors to implement changes, offer training and conduct regular testing and audits to ensure the university remains compliant, according to the release. Members of the UI community said they were encouraged to learn the new guidelines and review their own digital content to see what needs updating, and to collaborate with others and provide feedback to the task force when necessary, according to the release. “Our goal is to ensure that all digital content and systems are accessible to everyone,” Fleagle said in the release. “This is not just about compliance; it’s about creating a path forward where everyone can access the information and services they need.” SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE
Baker Mayfield threw for five touchdowns and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stayed in the race atop the NFC South by pounding the visiting Carolina Panthers 48-14 on Sunday afternoon. Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan both caught two TD passes and Bucky Irving rushed for 113 yards as Tampa Bay's second victory of the month against Carolina came much easier than the road version in overtime. Mayfield completed 27 of 32 passes for 359 yards and Evans caught eight balls for 97 yards. The Buccaneers (9-7) collected 551 yards of total offense. The Panthers (4-12) have lost five of their last six despite Bryce Young throwing two touchdown passes to Adam Thielen (five catches, 110 receiving yards). Young finished 15-for-28 passing for 203 yards, but Carolina managed only 39 rushing yards as it played without injured top running back Chuba Hubbard. Both of Mayfield's TD tosses to Evans were short (2 yards, 1 yard). Mayfield's scoring throws to McMillian covered 10 and 16 yards. He also had a 5-yard throw to Payne Durham to open the second-half scoring. The Buccaneers also scored off J. J. Russell's blocked punt return during a 25-second span of the third quarter when they racked up 14 points. Chase McLaughlin kicked field goals of 23 and 34 yards for the Buccaneers, who need to finish with a better record than the Atlanta Falcons in the divisional race because the tiebreaker favors Atlanta, which plays at Washington on Sunday night. Tampa Bay hosts New Orleans next weekend, while Carolina plays at Atlanta. After scoring on its first possession, Carolina's next three series on offense resulted in a total of minus-6 yards and three punts. The Buccaneers cashed in for 17 points following those defensive stops. The Panthers perked up by going 70 yards in 21 seconds to score on Young's 40-yard pass to Theilen with 50 seconds left in the half. They got the ball back following a Tampa Bay punt, and were in position to post 10 points in the last minute of the half until Eddy Pineiro's 53-yard field goal attempt was off the mark. Carolina has surrendered more points this year than in any season in franchise history, though Tampa Bay came four points shy of matching the most points ever allowed by the Panthers in a game. --Field Level MediaJimmy Carter, the 39th president, dies at 100The latest Canada’s Food Price Report forecasts a food price increase of 3 to 5 percent in 2025, increasing overall food costs for the average family of four by $801.56. The report by Dalhousie University’s Agri‐Food Analytics Lab predicts prices for fruit and seafood will rise 1 to 3 percent, dairy products and baked goods will rise 2 to 4 percent, and vegetables and restaurant food will rise 3 to 5 percent, while meat will rise by 4 to 6 percent. A typical family of four with a teenage son and a pre-teen daughter will shell out $16,833.67 for food in 2025 while a single mom with two young children can expect to pay $9,566.40, the report estimates. It will cost $3,189.01 to feed a 6- to 11-month-old child next year, $3,184.18 for a 4- to 8-year-old boy, and $3,849.74 for a girl between the ages of 9 and 13. A teenage boy will be the most expensive to feed in 2025, coming in at $4,809.98. The report’s authors used three different machine learning and AI models to determine the costs, and then had experts weigh in on the numbers. This year, the authors also utilized large language models to process information beyond raw data. A number of factors such as climate challenges, geopolitical conflicts, and a weaker Canadian dollar are likely to significantly increase food costs, the report said. It predicted that the expected weakening of the Canadian dollar compared to the American dollar will reduce the buying power of importers. The current exchange rate is 1.3866 CAD to USD, and is forecasted to fall further if the incoming U.S. administration under Donald Trump goes ahead with its threat of 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods. The report also noted that wheat prices were impacted by droughts in North America and wetter-than-normal conditions in Europe in 2023, while commodities such as coffee, cocoa, and citrus saw significant price increases due to high temperatures and weather events. “Extreme weather events continue to prove challenging for food producers facing an unpredictable climate for growing crops and raising livestock,” the report said. Additionally, the report warned that Canada’s agri-food sector has become less competitive in the last five years, while the incoming Trump administration could widen the competitiveness gap between the two countries and force Canadian grocers to stock more foreign goods. With the Trump administration likely to roll back more environmental regulations, the report warned Canada’s carbon tax may give American farmers “another cost advantage with Trump’s less restrictive environmental stance.” Canada’s cattle herd was at its smallest since 1987 while America’s cattle herd was at its smallest since 1951, causing beef prices to rise in 2024. They are expected to rise further in 2025. The report said droughts, higher feed costs, and elevated interest rates have also contributed to the price increase, and many consumers may choose other protein sources like fish and pork in the new year. Last year’s price projections fell within the expected ranges or saw lower-than-predicted increases, the report said.
