Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae803bb726b22deeb69723c Collins accuses Schumer of pushing attack ads filled with 'outright lies' in tight Maine race te 2026-11-02T03:30:03.504Z Collins accuses Schumer of pushing attack ads filled with 'outright lies' in tight Maine race Sen. Susan Collins on Sunday blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party over what she described as a wave of false attack ads targeting her and other Republican candidates, saying she has never seen a campaign with "so many outright lies." She made the remarks during an interview with Fox News on Sunday, just two days before Election Day in Maine, where she is seeking reelection in a closely watched race against Democratic rival Troy Jackson. According to the latest Fox News poll, the two candidates are tied at 49%. Collins accused Democrats of following "Chuck Schumer's playbook," pointing to attack ads she said were nearly identical to those targeting other Republican lawmakers. MANCHIN CALLS SCHUMER 'CRAZY' FOR TRYING TO OUST GOP SENATOR IN CRUCIAL SENATE SHOWDOWN "One of the outrageous, completely false ads against me had to do with Jeffrey Epstein. And it turns out, in talking to two of my colleagues who are in tough races, that they had virtually identical ads run against them. So this is part of Chuck Schumer's playbook," she said. "There are a lot of differences between my opponent and me, but I've never seen a campaign with so many outright lies. It's very frustrating," she added. Collins further accused Democrats of trying to shift the focus away from local issues and toward divisive national political battles. "It's certainly an attempt by my opponent and Chuck Schumer and their allies to nationalize this race," she said. SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY Turning to her own campaign, Collins portrayed herself as a bipartisan lawmaker willing to work across party lines, arguing that the Senate needs more centrists as moderates increasingly leave Washington. "Unfortunately, a lot of them have given up and retired or decided they just didn't want to run again. And that's one reason I am running again," she said. "We need more people who are willing to work across party lines. That is really important," she said. FOX NEWS POLL: NAIL-BITER IN MAINE SENATE RACE She also described herself as the "most independent senator on either side of the aisle," pointing to her voting record and saying her decisions are based on what she believes is right, rather than who occupies the White House or what President Donald Trump supports. "There's this phony figure out there that I voted with President Trump 95% of the time. That's based on a sample of only 30% of the votes. If you look at a broader sample of 90% of the vote, that drops significantly to like 72%. And I voted against the president's policies 138 times," she said. While Jackson previously told Fox News that he believes he has a "good shot" at defeating Collins, the longtime Republican senator touted strong voter support and said she is more optimistic than ever about her reelection chances. "I'm feeling very optimistic based on the great response I get in visiting communities all over the state," she said.

Kylie Arellano, now 17, was last seen by her family on May 29, 2025, at their home in Garden City, Utah, when she was 15 years old. Kylie's disappearance had triggered a wide federal and state investigation that led officials through dozens of unconfirmed sightings before culminating in her recovery on Sunday. MISSING TEEN FOUND HIDING IN CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER'S CLOSET IN FLORIDA, SHERIFF SAYS Law enforcement officers in Oregon, working directly with the FBI's Salt Lake City field office and the Rich County Sheriff's Office, safely recovered the teen, according to a law enforcement news release. Kylie, they said, was found with a 39-year-old man in Oregon. The man was taken into custody without incident. "The FBI and the Rich County Sheriff’s Office have been actively investigating this case for more than a year and pursuing every lead received from across the U.S. and in other countries. FBI NABS MORE THAN 350 ALLEGED CHILD SEX ABUSE OFFENDERS "As this case is ongoing, no further information will be released at this time," the FBI's Salt Lake City field office said in a statement on Sunday. Federal authorities also credited the Oregon State Police, the FBI's Portland field office and the Utah Department of Public Safety for their assistance in the operation. "Tonight, local police in Oregon brought a minor who had been missing for a year and a half to safety, acting on information provided by our FBI Salt Lake City Field Office," FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital. "We are grateful she can return home, and we will continue working with our partners to hold those responsible accountable," Patel added. MIKE WALTZ, TIM TEBOW LAUNCH EFFORT TO COMBAT ONLINE CHILD EXPLOITATION: 'IT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR BACKYARD' "To anyone using gore groups to target and exploit children: the FBI and our partners are coming for you. "We are using every tool at our disposal to combat nihilistic violent extremism, bring offenders to justice and protect America’s children." According to a law enforcement source, the suspect allegedly met the teenager on Snapchat before her disappearance. Last year, Rich County Sheriff Dale Stacey said detectives had chased reports of sightings across multiple states and urged the public to preserve any photographic or timestamped evidence. TWO MISSING CHILDREN RESCUED FROM TRAILER AS POLICE ARREST BABYSITTER ON KIDNAPPING CHARGES New details about the investigation had also emerged days before Kylie was found. Unsealed search warrants reviewed by KUTV on Oct. 29 showed that investigators had previously scrutinized Kylie's mother, Stephanie Coleman, and questioned her about a 2024 allegation of physical abuse. There were also questions about discrepancies involving missing text messages from the night Kylie vanished and suspicious marks in the home. Coleman had denied having any role in her daughter's disappearance or abusing her, providing timestamped "good night" text messages from May 29, 2025. She said the marks were caused by an injured cat and maintained that Kylie had likely been groomed and lured away by someone she encountered online, the outlet reported.

In a recent post on X, the 47-year-old actor reflected on his beginnings: "Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company," revealing that a chance encounter working one night changed his life. "One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, 'Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?'" he recalled. "She asked if I could act, and I said, 'F- - - yeah, put me in your movie!'" Since he didn't have a phone, he gave Chong his friend Mike's number, who told him a few days later that someone had called for him. NICKI MINAJ, ANNA NICOLE SMITH AND MORE STARS WHO GOT THEIR START WAITING TABLES AT RED LOBSTER "I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious," he wrote. "I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, 'Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!' After the audition, he recalled Chung telling him he "could act and offered me the part." While he lived in Hawaii, the movie was filming in Los Angeles, which made Pratt a little nervous, as he had "about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades." He then found out that Chung would fly him out to Los Angeles for production. "I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor," he wrote. "That little movie was 'Cursed Part 3,' a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me. I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me."

When speaking to Moviefone in May 2023, Pratt shared he is "grateful" for "Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn for casting him as the lead in the movie, saying, "He's changed my life" and the life of his children. "He found a working actor who had already at that point done way better than most people who come out to town. I wasn't a waiter any longer, I was a series regular on a show. I was getting recognition," he said. "He brought me to a whole new level that ultimately changed the entire way the industry saw me. I no longer was auditioning.

The Cougars have benefited from a very fortunate run of officiating in recent weeks. At home against the then-No. 2 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish, BYU pulled off a stunning upset. Thanks in small part to yet another controversial literal last second clock call this college football season. Quarterback Bear Bachmeier found tight end Walker Lyons with 1:47 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Cougars a 28-24 lead, putting Notre Dame's winning streak in jeopardy. The Irish drove down the field, converting a six-yard pass on fourth-and-5 to give themselves one last shot at the end zone from the 8-yard line with four seconds left. C.J. Carr's pass fell incomplete, and fans stormed the field. BIG 12 CONFERENCE ADDRESSES OFFENSIVE CHANTS FROM UCF FANS DIRECTED AT BYU DURING UPSET WIN Except, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the stadium game clock clearly read 0:01 as the ball hit the turf. And the Big 12 Conference acknowledged they were right, and that Notre Dame should have had time for one last play. "Following the Big 12's review of the final play of Saturday's Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew," they explained in a statement. "The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games." Yes, BYU may still have stopped the Irish and won the game anyway, but it was a clear officiating mistake that benefited the Cougars. It happened again the next week. On the road at UCF, BYU found themselves locked in a tight game late in the fourth quarter against what should have been an overmatched opponent. With the game tied 24-24 and 11 seconds left, the Knights set up for a field goal attempt on third down. Kicker Will Stone's attempted was blocked without crossing the line of scrimmage, and Stone recovered it himself. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER As he was tackled, his helmet came off, with the officials throwing a flag for a BYU facemask. Which they promptly picked up. Not only that, they then incorrectly applied a 10-second runoff for the helmet coming off. As rules analysts explained, that runoff is only required when the helmet coming off is the reason for the clock stoppage. But the clock also stopped because of a "legal kick down," per Terry McAulay, meaning that the runoff should not have been applied. Instead of UCF having another opportunity at a game-winning field goal, the game went to overtime. That said, the Cougars did wind up losing in double overtime anyway, thanks in part to some less-than-beneficial officiating. As Stone made a field goal to go up 34-31, BYU's Kendall Wall was flagged for roughing the kicker. Instead of the Cougars needing just a field goal to tie the score, UCF converted the ensuing first-and-goal for a touchdown, making the two-point conversion as well. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE BYU had four tries from the four-yard-line, but came up empty, and the Knights pulled off the upset. Still, there's a case to be made that the game may never have reached overtime in the first place, had the rules been correctly applied. Well, fast-forward to BYU-Arizona State on Halloween, and it happened again. Though at least this mistake wasn't in the closing seconds of the game. In the first quarter in Provo, Bachmeier tried to run the ball in for a touchdown from the one-yard line, but fumbled immediately after the snap. Sione Moa jumped on it, advancing it into the end zone for a touchdown. Replay review confirmed that Bachmeier had indeed fumbled, and separately confirmed that Moa had scored. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! But the review team should never have allowed the touchdown to stand, because the whistle blew on the play to signal that Bachmeier had been ruled down. Once that happened, the ball could not be advanced after a fumble. Inexplicably though, they awarded the Cougars a TD anyway. And now the Big 12 Conference has been forced to issue yet another statement that the officiating crew had made a mistake. "Replay was incorrect in awarding a score," the statement read. "The correct ruling should have been BYU ball for a third-and-goal from the 2-yard line." Sure, the Cougars may have punched it in from the two, but you never know in college football, and the call handed them a touchdown that should not have happened. Understandably, ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham was furious with the officiating crew at the time, and after the game. "I was trying to argue that he does have the right to recover it post-whistle, but that's not a clear advancement, which means the ball should be at the three," he said. "Obviously, that wasn't what happened. It's not the officials' fault. Those officials don't have say in that. That's all back home." There's little doubt that these mistakes are simply that, mistakes, and not some grand conspiracy by the Big 12 Conference to help get BYU to the College Football Playoff. But it's a sign of the seemingly growing officiating problem in college football, and yet another example of the fact that referees can, and often do, impact a game negatively. Some Cougars fans will also be quick to point out any number of calls they believe went against their team. Normally, over the course of a season, these things even out. It's just unfortunate when there are several high-profile mistakes all happening around the same program. BYU has yet another massive game this Saturday, as they travel up the road to play their heated rivals, the Utah Utes, in Salt Lake City. The No. 3 Utah Utes and No. 7 BYU Cougars. Just as everyone expected. And given the tight Big 12 race, with Utah 5-0, BYU 4-1 and Texas Tech 4-1, it could have tremendous implications in determining which teams will play in the conference championship game, as well as a spot in the playoff. Hopefully we're not talking about the refs after this one.

Hefner, 40, name-dropped one Hollywood heavy-hitter who was known for his frequent trips to the Holmby Hills home during an episode of her "After the Mansion" podcast. "I think a lot of celebrities came because they were just curious, and others used it as their personal country club," she said. "They used to call it Jack Nicholson’s drive-thru at one point because he would drive up, grab some food or whatever else he could get there and leave." Nicholson's daughter, Lorraine, once shared her own experiences at the famous mansion where she spent her childhood playing with Hef's sons, Marston and Cooper. "People assume that my father took me to the Mansion, but they assume wrong," she wrote in a 2024 essay for Vanity Fair. "In fact, I can venture with confidence that I spent more time there than my father ever did." Lorraine wrote about growing up as the daughter of somewhat controversial parents, and noted that her friend's parents were "not so keen on letting their children come over to Jack Nicholson's house." "For the Hefners, I imagine it was nice to know that my father would never be like the other fathers, lingering a little too long after their children were dropped off, marveling, open-mouthed and fully clothed, at the way the refracted light danced on the roof of the grotto," Lorraine wrote.

"The three accounts are old, are hearsay, and easily disproven, yet released to the media by police without any investigation to determine whether they were accurate or contradicted by evidence," the statement reads. "Josh is answering them in detail because of the character assassination that is occurring, unfairly threatening his career." NFL LIFTS ABUSE SUSPENSIONS ON GREEN BAY'S JOSH JACOBS AND DENVER'S JONATHON COOPER AS INVESTIGATIONS CONTINUE The NFL said in a statement Saturday that it is reviewing the previously unreported allegations that Jacobs physically abused multiple women whose existence came to light amid the investigation into the May 23 incident that was well-chronicled. The NFL was already investigating Jacobs for that May 23 incident in which Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property connected to a domestic incident with an ex-girlfriend in Green Bay. Jacobs was convicted of the battery charge in September and spent six games on the commissioner’s exempt list this season. He has returned to the Packers, but the team has been among those keeping in contact with the Indianapolis Colts about trading for running back Jonathan Taylor. The Packers would not be interested in Taylor if they expected to keep Jacobs. PACKERS' INTEREST IN JONATHAN TAYLOR SHOWS DESIRE TO MOVE ON FROM JOSH JACOBS AND HIS DOMESTIC ABUSE ISSUES Understanding this, the statement takes aim at the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department's case file release to the media. "The file includes summaries of three telephone interviews describing events in 2021 and 2022," the statement from Jacobs' attorneys said. "Josh Jacobs denies all three accounts and has a substantial body of tangible evidence to back up his assertions. "The police department’s released file contains only phone interviews, taken years after the fact, with no additional investigation, save for an acknowledgment that Josh did nothing wrong. Josh was not given an opportunity to present evidence to Hobart-Lawrence in response to the uncorroborated report, primarily because Hobart-Lawrence took no action related to the unsupported and stale allegations." And then the details, according to the Jacobs side: "One of these three women made a claim to the NFL, which reviewed it and decided no action was warranted. Josh has kept evidence that supports his accounts and the NFL’s decision. Nothing in the released file indicates that any such evidence was used or even sought. Indeed, the police report did not even present any of this information. "Another woman made a claim in 2021, but only after Josh called the Las Vegas police to his home to report the woman for misconduct. A police report was written that day, which effectively undermined her claims. No further action was taken by any authority after she was removed from Josh’s home." The police file, per NBC26 in Wisconsin, claims a third woman told the police that Jacobs slapped her in the face, threw her onto a bed, threw her to the floor, spit on her and grabbed her throat in January 2022. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "Josh denies any physical altercation with the third woman," the statement from Jacobs' attorneys said. "She first contacted Josh and asked to visit. She came to Las Vegas and stayed at his home. Another person was present in the house during part of her stay. She stayed there overnight and left the following evening — on her own, in a car she ordered herself. The receipt for that ride is in the police file the department released, and it is consistent with Josh’s account of how the visit ended, not hers." It's clear the Jacobs camp understands the stakes: Their client's enduring status in the NFL. And they want to remind everyone that charges that resulted in a trial are the only history that should matter. "Josh took responsibility for what happened in May," the attorneys said. "He entered into an agreement with prosecutors for two misdemeanors, and he is meeting the court’s requirements."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7dbe4726b22deeb696662 Iranian ‘ghost fleet’ filmed evading US blockade en route to China, UANI says te 2026-11-02T00:40:04.864Z Iranian ‘ghost fleet’ filmed evading US blockade en route to China, UANI says Small Iranian "ghost fleet" tankers are slipping past the U.S. naval blockade and smuggling sanctioned liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to China through a shadowy maritime hub off Malaysia, according to U.S. investigators who covertly filmed one of the vessels en route in September. United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), which conducted the months-long probe, said at least nine similar tankers carrying Iranian oil or LPG have also evaded U.S. restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz since Washington reinstated the Iranian port blockade in July. UANI identified one of the sanctioned tankers as the SOGL. It allegedly escaped the blockade on Sept. 1 carrying approximately 500,000 barrels of Iranian LPG after collecting it at an Iranian port in August. The vessel then traveled thousands of miles to a Malaysian offshore anchorage, where UANI filmed the vessel receiving fuel and other services offshore. The ship then traveled on to China, where the organization said it discharged its Iranian cargo. IRAN’S $800M OIL SMUGGLING SCHEME USES TANKERS POSING AS IRAQI SHIPS TO DODGE BLOCKADE "This tanker had loaded its Iranian LPG from Assaluyeh Port, Iran, in late August. It then breached the U.S. blockade and made its way to a Malaysian anchorage," Jemima Shelley, a senior analyst at UANI, explained. "What this shows us is that some vessels are managing to breach the U.S. maritime blockade," Shelley said of the footage shared exclusively with Fox News Digital. "Most vessels aren't, but since the reinstatement in mid-July, we have seen only nine small tankers being successful in their breach of the U.S. blockade and departing the Gulf of Oman laden with oil or LPG." At the center of the operation is the Malaysian Eastern Outer Port Limits Anchorage, known as the EOPL, an offshore shipping area approximately 70 kilometers from Malaysia’s coastline. The anchorage has become a critical staging ground for Iran’s sanctioned energy trade with China, Shelley said. The area allows vessels to wait offshore, receive supplies and transfer cargo between tankers, providing a logistical lifeline for Iranian energy exports as American naval forces patrol waters closer to Iran. UANI had been monitoring the SOGL before its arrival in Malaysian waters, Shelley explained. US TARGETS CHINESE REFINERY IN SWEEPING IRAN OIL CRACKDOWN, SANCTIONS ‘SHADOW FLEET’ TANKERS "On September 16th, United Against Nuclear Iran chartered a supply vessel and transited 100 nautical miles into the Malaysian Eastern Outer Port Limits Anchorage," Shelley said. "Here we witnessed firsthand the illicit activities of ghost fleet tankers, as well as some Iran-flagged cargo ships that were located in this anchorage, one of them being the SOGL." She described the SOGL as "a Handymax small tanker that was laden with 500,000 barrels of Iranian LPG." The U.S. maritime blockade was first imposed April 13, temporarily lifted in mid-June and reinstated July 14 after diplomatic negotiations collapsed. The operation has largely stopped Iran from exporting crude oil, depriving Tehran of a major source of revenue as the country faces intense economic pressure. "The U.S. blockade is an overwhelming success at preventing vessels laden with Iranian oil and petrochemicals from leaving the Gulf of Oman," Shelley said. She added that since the blockade was reinstated, "no Iranian crude oil has managed to depart and be a successful export for Iran, which is a huge economic pressure for the Iranian regime." "It's just that there are some opportunistic small tankers that are just managing to breach the blockade." The United States, she said, is primarily prioritizing Iranian crude and very large tankers, which often carry "two million barrels of Iranian crude." MORNING GLORY: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE AMERICAN MILITARY HAVE BEATEN IRAN LPG is a flammable mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily propane and butane, used for heating, cooking, transportation and industrial production. "LPG carries a lot of risks," Shelley said. "The U.S. blockade's first course of action is to try to attempt to turn around these vessels, which is their main technique for enforcing the U.S. blockade." "However, sometimes they do have to use military force and this would be incredibly high risk on far more volatile cargo such as LPG." According to Shelley, the smaller vessels exploit those challenges while using tactics commonly associated with Iran’s ghost fleet. "So what they'll do is they will turn off their AIS. They will often fly a false flag so they're completely stateless vessels," she added. Automatic Identification System, or AIS, transponders broadcast a vessel’s identity, position and movements to other ships and maritime authorities. Switching them off can make a vessel more difficult to track. "Often they will load, and then they will transit the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and then in the Gulf of Oman, they will conduct a ship-to-ship transfer there," Shelley said, describing it as a "very high-risk ship-to-ship transfer because it's LPG, not crude oil." "And then the other tanker that's receiving the LPG will then transit and attempt to breach the blockade." The overall scale remains relatively small compared with Iran’s historical energy exports. US ECONOMIC CHOKEHOLD ON IRAN REACHES PEAK LEVERAGE AS COLLAPSE RISKS EMERGE The SOGL, identified by IMO number 9208227, was added to the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctions list Oct. 8 over its alleged involvement in transporting Iranian petroleum products since 2025. The vessel has operated under multiple flags, including the Comoros and Zimbabwe, and has been linked in sanctions records to Gravion Maritime Co. "Most of these tankers are very emblematic of what ghost fleet tankers do and so are flying false flags, which means they're completely stateless and will have very complicated front companies running them," Shelley said. Meanwhile, the EOPL anchorage in Malaysia — roughly a 10-day-to-two-week journey from Iran — has become an important logistical center for Iranian vessels traveling toward Chinese buyers and a "key node in Iran's oil trade to China," Shelley said. "It is used by ghost fleet tankers, Iran-flagged tankers that will load Iranian crude and then transit eastwards from Iran all the way to this anchorage where they will often conduct ship-to-ship transfers with the final tanker bound for China." "Often this anchorage is also used for floating storage, which is how Iran managed to survive for so long with the U.S. blockade being reinstated in July," Shelley said. She also clarified that since the blockade has been enforced, Iranian floating storage has fallen to "zero to seven million barrels." "So you can see how they have survived from having this offshore anchorage where illicit ghost fleet tankers have been able to wait laden with Iranian products." IRAN’S OIL LIFELINE IS DRYING UP. THE BIGGEST PAIN MAY FALL ON ORDINARY CITIZENS UANI’s video also shows the SOGL sitting low in the water and receiving bunkering services from a smaller tanker off Malaysia, where Shelley said authorities appear to be "looking the other way." "This is a common thing that you will see in this anchorage, because not only is this anchorage used for ship-to-ship transfers, but also these ghost fleet tankers, as well as some cargo ships in this anchorage, require various services, whether that is food, logistics or bunker fuel." China is the dominant destination for Iranian oil and LPG, providing Tehran with a critical economic outlet despite U.S. sanctions and the naval blockade. "For years, China has made up 80% of Iran's liquid cargo exports, and we have seen that only grow since the beginning of the Iran War. Now China is importing almost 100% of Iran's oil and LPG exports." "It has created a system and trade that has allowed Iran to avoid sanctions, U.S. and OPEC sanctions, whilst China is able to buy highly discounted Iranian oil and LPG." IRAN SEIZES SHIPS IN HORMUZ AS US TALKS FALTER AFTER CEASEFIRE EXTENSION "After United Against Nuclear Iran's trip to the EOPL, interestingly, this small LPG tanker SOGL did not conduct a ship-to-ship transfer," Shelley said. "Instead, it transited northbound into the South China Sea, where it finally discharged its Iranian LPG at Xinzhou Port in China." The G Summer, a U.S.-sanctioned LPG carrier with a capacity of approximately 7,000 cubic meters, was also separately tracked transmitting signals from the Arabian Sea beyond the American blockade line in April, according to Bloomberg. The vessel broadcast a message indicating it had an "all Chinese crew" aboard, while shipping analytics identified Iran as its last cargo country and Galle, Sri Lanka, as its reported destination.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7d4df726b22deeb6964c4 'SNL' co-host Michael Che turns Israel voter turnout into 'genocide' punchline on 'Weekend Update' te 2026-11-02T00:10:07.662Z 'SNL' co-host Michael Che turns Israel voter turnout into 'genocide' punchline on 'Weekend Update' On NBC's "Saturday Night Live," "Weekend Update" co-host Michael Che joked about genocide while discussing voter turnout in Israel's elections, referencing voters on the right and left of the country's political spectrum.  "This week, a record number of people voted in Israel’s election, which is great to see regardless of if you’re on the right side, or the left side, or the genocide," Che said. A spokesperson for the Campaign Against Antisemitism acknowledged that the comment was a joke but challenged its premise. "There's always a lot of latitude with comedy, and this joke is hardly an exception," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The problem is that it's playing on what has become a widespread but baseless belief that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza." NETANYAHU ALLEGES FRAUD AS ARAB PARTIES SCORE RECORD GAINS — EMERGE AS POTENTIAL KINGMAKERS The organization argued that allegations of genocide against Israel portray Jews as perpetrators of the same crime committed against them during the Holocaust and are "motivated in no small part by a desperation to assuage global guilt for a real genocide against the Jews by casting the Jews as perpetrators of this grave crime themselves."  "It has fueled abuse and violence against Jews worldwide — including terrorism and murder," the spokesperson added.  NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck also criticized the joke, questioning whether viewers understood the meaning of genocide and criticizing the use of the term in discussions about Israel. "We're now at the point where it's a punchline to refer to Israel as a genocidal state," Houck told Fox News Digital. "SNL's ill-informed viewers are unlikely to know the actual meaning of the word, and that it's more applicable to how many Arabs view whether Israel should be allowed to exist."  ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE ESCALATES AS DEADLY WEAPON ATTACKS SURGE IN 2025: REPORT Houck argued that the segment could instead have highlighted Arab participation in Israel's election to challenge accusations of genocide. "One could have framed it as a dig against the calls of genocide that a country held free and fair elections in which Arabs could vote and did, to the point their parties won 19 seats in the Knesset, but that would have been too large of a bubble to burst for the far-left in America," Houck said. "Simply put, use of the word ‘genocide’ shouldn't be something to joke about." In Israel's recent election, the nation's two Arab-led parties were projected to secure a combined 19 seats, according to preliminary results. Che delivered the remark alongside co-host Colin Jost during a segment that also targeted President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Republican messaging ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections. Che previously drew criticism in February 2021 for suggesting that Israel’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign favored Jewish citizens. 'SNL' HOST MICHAEL CHE MOCKS MACKLEMORE'S 'FREE PALESTINE TOUR' AFTER ED SHEERAN DROPS RAPPER "Israel is reporting that they’ve vaccinated half of their population. I’m going to guess it’s the Jewish half," Che said. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said the joke "not only missed the mark, but crossed the line." The American Jewish Committee separately sought a retraction and apology from NBC over that segment, saying Che’s suggestion that Israel prioritized Jewish citizens misrepresented vaccine eligibility. The organization said vaccines were available to Israeli citizens regardless of religion or ethnicity. Fox News Digital reached out to the Israeli government and the White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

During a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, Coca-Cola CEO Henrique Braun was asked whether he liked the viral nickname. "The nickname ... the consumers call it ... the way they want to call it," Braun said. ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENERS COULD ALTER THE GENES OF LATER GENERATIONS, NEW STUDY WARNS "The most important thing to us is that we don't position Diet Coke in that way," he added.  "What we do is that it's a great tasting product which connects with the consumer in a very unique way." Braun also pointed to Coca-Cola's growing use of social media and digital technology, though he did not directly link those efforts to the viral nickname. "We have been incorporating digital tech and AI into our plans and communicating with consumers," he said.  He added that the company is "really excited about the prospects of growth." SOME MARRIOTT GUESTS TOUT COKE'S NEW MOVE AS ‘BEST EVER’ WHILE PEPSI LOYALISTS PUSH BACK Fox News Digital reached out to Coca-Cola for comment and more information. The company's latest earnings figures show that Diet Coke is gaining momentum. The company's latest quarterly earnings report, released Oct. 27, indicated that global sales volume for Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Light increased 6% in the third quarter of 2026, driven by growth in North America and Asia Pacific. The brands also recorded volume growth of 6% in the first quarter and 7% in the second quarter, following a year of flat global volume in 2025. OLD-SCHOOL SODA WENT FROM BEING A TOP BRAND TO NEARLY UNFINDABLE But the viral nickname has also raised questions about the habits behind Diet Coke's popularity. Jonathan Alpert, a New York City-based psychotherapist, previously told Fox News Digital that the appeal of the "fridge cigarette" trend is rooted partly in the sensory experience of drinking Diet Coke. "The crisp sound, the carbonation and the cold hit all offer a quick, reliable burst of stimulation or relief, especially during stressful or transitional moments in the day," Alpert said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Alpert described Diet Coke as a potential "emotional stand-in," but cautioned against relying on it as a coping mechanism. While opting for soda is "certainly a healthier choice than cigarettes," Alpert warned that the trend is not totally harmless. "When Diet Coke becomes a daily emotional crutch, it can reinforce dependency patterns, particularly if it is being used to manage anxiety, suppress appetite or avoid discomfort," he said. Debra Muth, a Wisconsin-based naturopathic doctor, previously expressed concerns about the potential effects of artificial sweeteners on the brain's reward system.

Muth argued that replacing cigarettes with soda amounts to "trading one bad habit for another." Instead, she recommended giving "your brain what it actually needs, such as amino acids like L-tyrosine for natural dopamine production, balanced blood sugar and real stress management that restores your brain's reward system."

But the Bucs get the last laugh. They came away from Sunday's rain-drenched, mud-soaked meeting with the Atlanta Falcons with a 16-0 victory where they set a new club rushing mark of 324 yards. On top of that, they have renewed life in the NFC South. BUCCANEERS COLLECT TWO FREAKISH FIRST-HALF SCORES TO DOMINATE PANTHERS – AND, OH, BAKER MAYFIELD IS BACK Afterward, coach Todd Bowles was asked if he informed his offensive coordinator or quarterback Baker Mayfield they weren't going to throw the ball a lot. "The conditions told him that," Bowles said. "I mean, you could see it as a downpour down there and the wind's blowing. You can kind of see the ball wasn't going anywhere." FALCONS STAR BIJAN ROBINSON WANTS EVERY NFL TEAM TO PLAY INDOORS ONE DAY: 'THAT WOULD BE SICK' So much for the space-age passing inside an air conditioned dome. This was three yards and a cloud of dust. Or rather, because this game at Raymond James Stadium was played in that unrelenting rain, it was three-yards-and-a-lot-of-slush. So, a lot of running football. And, just to be accurate, for way more than three-yards a pop. But no passing. Quarterback Baker Mayfield attempted three passes without a completion. "All right, let's get this over with because you don't want to talk to me," Mayfield told reporters to open his postgame news conference. This was some surreal stuff and that was obvious when Mayfield was asked questions about his lead blocking on one play. "You know, if you're not going to throw the ball, I got to get active somehow," he said. The last and only other time a team failed to complete a pass in a game since the NFL began playing Super Bowls was on Sept. 29, 1974 by the Buffalo Bills, according to the Associated Press. It was O.J. Simpson's Bills that did it that time with quarterback Joe Ferguson attempting only two passes without a completion. Simpson ran for 117 yards in that long-ago game. Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell went bonkers in this game. Irving gained 170 yards and averaged 6.3 yards per carry against the Falcons. Gainwell gained 140 rushing yards and averaged 5.6 yards per attempt. Historic. But Irving didn't see it that way. "I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know the last time I checked the weather for a football game," he said. "We're going to have to play in it anyway. That's how I think about it. "Rain, snow, muddy, you're going to have to play in it anyway." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! It could be argued the Bucs would have been more productive, if perhaps, they had tried a pass sometime in the second half. But the Falcons tried doing some of that. Their quarterback, Michael Penix Jr. completed only eight of his 24 attempts, throwing four interceptions. The Bucs, on the other hand, didn't try to hit their heads against the proverbial wall like that. They were too busy running up and down the field.

The DOJ said it would appeal. The lawsuit centered on two candidates with similar names: Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and challenger Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. The DOJ lawsuit sought to delay or block certification while investigating whether voter confusion may have affected the outcome. DEM BUCKS PARTY OVER ALLEGED ALASKA VOTE-SIPHONING EFFORT: 'NEITHER PARTY SHOULD BE DOING IT' U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason said the government had not shown how the requested investigation could identify voters’ intent while protecting ballot secrecy. She also said the relief sought would intrude on Alaska’s responsibility to run its elections. The DOJ said it would appeal, arguing the judge dismissed the case on procedural grounds without addressing its claim that Sullivan Jr. entered the race to confuse voters. The case now heads to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The dispute has roiled the campaign in recent days. The New York Times reported that people connected to Democratic nominee Mary Peltola’s campaign helped recruit Sullivan Jr. to run as a spoiler.

Four years later, on Jan. 5, 1926, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors completed the formation of ED3, with boundaries covering about 87,000 acres.  The district’s early purpose was practical. Electricity powered irrigation pumps, helping farmers move water to their fields, while also bringing power to homes and small businesses. Reliable electricity was especially important in an agricultural region where pumping water was essential to farming.  In 1930, a major expansion brought power lines to Maricopa and western Casa Grande. About 60 workers built extension lines and a substation 18 miles south of Maricopa. The project’s estimated cost was $500,000. The lines also supplied Electrical District No. 4, which served Picacho, Eloy and Toltec.  ED3’s role continued to evolve. In 1960, the district entered an agreement to purchase electrical facilities from Arizona Public Service and, by 1961, owned its transmission and distribution system within its service area.  Then Maricopa’s growth brought a new challenge. As the city’s population climbed from about 1,000 in 2002 to more than 51,000 in 2008, ED3 doubled its substations and added hundreds of miles of overhead and underground power lines.  This story first appeared in the November issue of InMaricopa.

The former TV host revealed that her ordeal began in 2024 and spiraled into a series of painful infections, surgeries and unexplained symptoms during an episode of "The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show." "Okay, I have been dying to tell you this story because the last two years of my life have been absolutely fricking insane. Insane, okay?" McCarthy told her viewers. "Some of you guys already know that I’ve been dealing with mold and mycotoxin poisoning. I’ve talked about pieces of it before." BRANDI GLANVILLE SPEAKS OUT ON COMPLEX DIAGNOSIS AND $6K MONTHLY MEDICAL BATTLE McCarthy claimed the whole ordeal began in 2024 with a toothache. "And somehow that led me down a rabbit hole of doctors, surgeries, teeth being pulled, mysterious growths popping up in places you are not expecting, implants literally falling out, and eventually realizing my immune system was fighting something so much bigger," she said. McCarthy's health spiraled into a series of medical complications, including severe dental infections, repeated surgeries, jawbone damage and recurring eye cysts. The former "The View" co-host also battled debilitating leg cramps, facial swelling, worsening food allergies and insomnia before undergoing testing that she said revealed mold poisoning. McCarthy claimed the condition had compromised her body's ability to fight infections, leaving her physically and emotionally exhausted.

"That’s right, living in a tent!" After repeated procedures and inconclusive attempts to resolve her health problems, McCarthy said she experienced significant medical fatigue and became increasingly fearful of potential environmental triggers. She claimed she felt "like a freaking paranoid schizophrenic." "I thought everything was poisoning me at this point, because look at me, I was a freaking hot mess, okay?" McCarthy's functional medicine doctor eventually suggested testing her for mold after observing her repeated health problems. She initially dismissed the idea because she believed her home was clean.

You’ve got the type of mold that causes seizures. If this thing crosses the blood-brain barrier, I’m going to be talking to you in hospital. You’re going to start seizing,'" McCarthy recalled the doctor telling her.

"I'm still in the traumatic part. I'm not even in the post part yet because I feel like now everything is mold," she said. "I can detect mold honestly like a mold dog.

Guthrie shared an old drawing made by her daughter, Vale, showing a blue umbrella in the rain and the words, "I know it might not seem like it, but I really need my mommy." "Found this old drawing from my daughter today," Guthrie wrote on Instagram. "It says so much about how I feel." "The world goes on, things appear ‘normal’ — as we try to keep going and be strong, especially for our young kids — but it’s not and it never will be," she continued. SAVANNAH GUTHRIE URGES PUBLIC TO HELP FIND MISSING MOTHER NANCY IN EMOTIONAL MOTHER’S DAY POST "For Annie and Tommy, for Cam and Kristine, for Mike and me and for all of Mom’s beloved grandchildren: We ache for her, we cry out for answers, we cannot move forward," Guthrie wrote. "We need someone to help us, tell us what you know. Our mom was a light in this world. We want to celebrate her and give her the dignity she deserves. The reward is still available. Please. We are begging you. Please help us." Guthrie also thanked those who have supported her family and urged people to "join us in praying without ceasing." THREE MONTHS AFTER NANCY GUTHRIE'S ABDUCTION, SHERIFF'S OFFICE RENEWS PLEA AS KEY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED Nancy Guthrie was reported missing Feb. 1 after she was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson shortly before 10 p.m. Jan. 31. Authorities believe she was taken against her will. A masked, armed individual was captured on the home's doorbell camera footage, apparently tampering with the device. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have not identified a suspect, and no arrests have been made. SAVANNAH GUTHRIE WAS 'SURPRISED AND DISMAYED' BY DOUBTS SHE WOULD RETURN TO 'TODAY' AFTER MOM'S DISAPPEARANCE Guthrie has continued to push for answers about her mother’s disappearance while returning to work on "TODAY." During a June appearance on "TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle," she rejected the idea that she had forgotten about her mother. "I know maybe people wonder, ‘What’s going on? How is she able to do that job? Is she not thinking about it? Did she forget?’ No. Never," Guthrie said. "It’s always with me. I cry every morning on the way to work, and I cry every morning on the way home," she added. SAVANNAH GUTHRIE DELIVERS 'VERY SPECIFIC' MESSAGE TO MOM'S KIDNAPPER 25 WEEKS AFTER HER ABDUCTION In August, six months after her mother's disappearance, Guthrie and her siblings also issued a statement asking for information about their mother. "Every day, we wake up and try to be strong and go on — because that’s what our joyful and resilient Mom taught us to do. But make no mistake — our hearts are in ruins," Guthrie wrote. "Cam and Kristine, Annie and Tommy, Mike and me — we spend every waking moment thinking of her, longing for her, looking for her." The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said Friday the Nancy Guthrie Task Force was continuing to work with laboratories to advance DNA analysis. "Earlier this month, investigators traveled to Florida to meet with lab scientists to see what more could be done to advance this case," the department wrote on X. "A number of ideas were discussed, and we continue to work with all our partners to solve this case." The agency reminded the public that no tip is too small. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously said Guthrie "did not leave on her own." NANCY GUTHRIE RANSOM DEMANDS RELEASED BY PIMA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IN BID TO IDENTIFY SENDER Authorities released the contents of two ransom notes in July. The first, sent Feb. 2, claimed Guthrie was safe and demanded $4 million in bitcoin for her release. The second, sent four days later, claimed she had died shortly after being kidnapped. Investigators said the notes contained distinctive writing patterns and asked anyone who recognized the style to contact authorities. A possible additional ransom text message reported in September was later deemed not credible by investigators. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit an anonymous tip at 520-882-7463.

The new stickers drew mixed reactions from TikTok users, with some questioning whether passengers should have to publicly display how they tip.

Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught a pass in the middle of the field and was soon sandwiched by two Lions' defenders, including Campbell. The problem is Campbell arrived at the contact while falling to his knees and appeared to have his head slanted upward so he made contact with his facemask rather than his shoulders and arms. Campbell's head and neck seemed to compress into his torso upon impact. Campbell collapsed onto the field and did not appear to move.

Several outlets, including People and US Weekly, have confirmed that Swanepoel and Brady are a couple. A source told People that the pair have been rumored to be "dating for a while now" and that they're "spending a lot of time together." "They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient," the source added. Another source told the outlet, "Candice and Tom have been dating for months. She’s been very secretive and selective about who she’s told about their dating. When they have met up, they’ve gone [to great] lengths not to be spotted." GISELE BUNDCHEN NOT BITTER AFTER UPSETTING TOM BRADY DIVORCE, GROOM CALLS BRIDE HER SISTER'S NAME & SAY WHAT? Neither Brady nor Swanepoel have acknowledged the rumors publicly. Below is everything to know about Brady's new rumored girlfriend. Swanepoel was born in South Africa in 1988. She grew up on a dairy and beef farm in Mooi River – a small town in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Speaking about her upbringing, Swanepoel told V Magazine in 2023 one of her most "vivid" memories from childhood. "One of my most vivid memories as a child was seeing my father wake up at 4 am to take care of our farm. His dedication and drive is something that is now part of me," she said at the time. On her personal website, Swanepoel recalled the moment a talent scout saw her at a flea market when she was just 15. "At the time, I was at St. Anne’s College, an all-girls boarding school where I embraced new friends and the potential of a great education," she wrote. The following year, Swanepoel's life completely changed. "Within a year of meeting the scout, at age 16, I was booking more and more modeling jobs all across Europe," she wrote. "While this was an incredible blessing for someone from such a sheltered upbringing, it also forced me to make tough decisions about my life at a young age." At 18, she spent a few years modeling in Paris, Milan, London and South Africa and decided to move to New York City to model full-time. "Separated from everything familiar, I relied on my drive and ambition as I lived on my own overseas. I gave up a normal teenage life with my family and friends to pursue a dream, but what I have gotten in return is simply incredible," Swanepoel wrote. Shortly after moving to New York, Swanepoel made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut. "I remember going to the casting for the show and being so nervous because I wanted it so badly," she told W Magazine in 2012. "And then once I was at the show—I took my mom with me, flew her from South Africa—I saw that kind of family vibe that they had. I’d been traveling alone for so long, and when I saw that, I said to my mom, ‘I want this so badly, I just want to be a part of something.’ Not just being alone in the fashion industry." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE A few years later, in 2010, Swanepoel officially got her wings. In 2013, Swanepoel wore the coveted Fantasy Bra, which was valued at $10 million that year. Swanepoel has walked in a total of 14 VS Fashion Shows. Following the 2026 show earlier this month, Swanepoel took to Instagram to share a few clips. "The amount of content from the show had me a little stuck in between spamming you and letting it breathe…☺️ It’s hard to explain the very particular feeling it is to walk the @victoriassecret fashion show. Maybe some of these pictures can explain better than words can for now… while I come back to reality ☁️ 💕Forever grateful ✨," Swanepoel captioned her post. The news of their relationship sent waves across the internet due to Brady's relationship with Gisele Bündchen. Bündchen and Brady were married from 2009 until 2022 and share two kids: Benjamin and Vivian. The two supermodels have crossed paths over the years and have reportedly been friendly and supportive of one another, though their relationship was never considered a close friendship, sources close to Bündchen told TMZ.

According to Page Six, Smalls and Swanepoel — who have been "inseparable" friends for 15 years — have had a falling out after Swanepoel allegedly became involved with Brady, whom Smalls reportedly dated on and off for about a year. TOM BRADY’S LATEST ROMANCE SPARKS VICTORIA’S SECRET MODEL WAR: REPORT Sources told the outlet that Smalls is now giving mutual friends an ultimatum to choose sides, which has ignited a bitter war within the VS circle. In since-deleted comments, the model allegedly appeared to take aim at Swanepoel on social media, referring to her as a "backstabber" and accusing her of violating "girl code." "And the disrespect and carelessness in how they treat you is so unimaginable. There’s no going back. Some people lack humility and moral compass," she reportedly wrote. "And the way they gaslight, lie and minimize your feelings is the worst slap in the face after 15yrs of friendship. Not a sorry said or written. Onwards and upwards!!!" In a statement to Page Six, Swanepoel's representative said: "Candice has always been exceptionally private about her personal life, with her focus remaining on raising her children. She and Joan share a longstanding history and a friendship that Candice will always respect." Swanepoel was in a long-term relationship with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli for 14 years. The pair were engaged in 2015 and split in 2018. They share two sons: Anacan and Ariel. Swanepoel kept her relationship with Nicoli out of the spotlight. After their split in 2018, she has not been romantically linked publicly to anyone else. In 2018, she opened up to People about becoming a family of four. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"It’s funny because he doesn’t know how to deal with the love. And you know when you think something is really cute and you just want to squeeze it? He doesn’t know how to process that yet," Swanepoel said.

The time for change had officially arrived, with apathy boiling over within the Seminoles fanbase, which led to President Richard McCullough meeting with athletic department administrators and donors over the past twelve hours to make a final decision on the future of Mike Norvell. On Sunday afternoon, the final decision was made to fire the Florida State head coach. This came just days after school president Richard McCullough penned an open letter to supporters pleading with them to show up for the student-athletes over the remainder of the 2026 season. After dropping to 3-5 this season, with only one ACC win so far, the sense of urgency hit its tipping point after the performance against Clemson that also saw fans decide to stay away from Doak S. Campbell Stadium in the process. Three years ago, Florida State was in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot before Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending injury that also led to the Seminoles being left out of the postseason after a 12-0 regular season. FLORIDA STATE FIRES AD MICHAEL ALFORD, AS MIKE NORVELL’S SEAT REACHES A BOILING POINT IN TALLAHASSEE But, Mike Norvell would never find that type of success again in Tallahassee, going 2-10 in 2024 and 5-7 last season that led to fans calling for his ouster in the process. Unfortunately for Florida State fans who were sick of losing, Norvell had secured a contract extension that included a buyout that will pay him $50.3 million to hit the unemployment line. "We have made the decision to change the leadership of our football program," President Richard McCullough said. "We thank Mike Norvell for his commitment and service to Florida State and wish him and his family the very best. We understand the deep passion of Seminole fans and share their high expectations for this program." Rick Stockstill was announced as the interim head coach after the departure of Norvell. Adding to the ongoing problems at FSU, the school announced in September that athletic director Michael Alford was being fired, creating a conundrum for school officials who were hoping Norvell would win enough games this season to gain enough support from fans to return in 2027. Seminole boosters had seen enough on Saturday night, and if it weren’t for FSU taking Miami to overtime two weeks ago, the move might have already been made. Ohio State's National Title Hopes Are Rightfully Fading After USC Delivers Reality Check in Shocking Upset To make matters worse for those within the FSU administration, social media had a field day this weekend over a plane flying a banner that called for the school to fire Norvell, even if it incorrectly spelled the head coach’s name. Right now, we are living in an era of college sports where, if you get too far behind, you'll be lucky to recover, given the ever-changing world of NIL and the transfer portal. COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S MEGA ROSTERS AREN’T DELIVERING A RETURN ON INVESTMENT AS LSU, TEXAS A&M AND OREGON PROVE For Florida State, it was time to move on and make the change in leadership that had been brewing for well over a year. The 36-24 loss to Clemson on Saturday night was the final straw for those who financially support the football program. FROM POWER FAILURES TO MORAL VICTORIES, MONDAY NIGHT COULDN'T HAVE GONE MUCH WORSE FOR FLORIDA STATE FANS One has to also remember that if FSU had decided to bring Mike Norvell back for another season, they would essentially be a walking target for opposing teams in the ACC. You can't sell the future when school officials are essentially operating its football program on a year-to-year basis, considering the amount of money needed to field a roster. Also, Mike Norvell was obviously waiting around to see when the school would finally make a decision, as he hosted a number of recruits on Sunday.

There was no way the athletic department could continue to allow the FSU coach to operate without the support of financial backers needed to ensure they would be able to compete on a financial level worthy enough of top-5 status within its own conference. So, with a majority of FSU boosters offering up their financial support if a move were to be made, school officials received a much-needed commitment to help raise the funds needed to fire the current head coach and attack the transfer portal with their backing, the decision was made to part ways with Norvell. At the end of the day, this is still Florida State. While the name might not carry the weight that it used to, this is clearly still a national brand that can be successful in this era of college athletics. Florida State finally just decided it would pay the buyout, while knowing it could end up costing an additional $50 million to bring in a new coach and staff. Now, there is another opening in college football, and this one should garner a lot of attention from coaches across the country.

Their AFC South rivals, the Jacksonville Jaguars, wiped the floor with a 42-7 victory just as trade speculation for the star running back has heated up. The now 2-6 Colts have been making moves during a poor season, albeit without their first-round pick. They just traded away Quenton Nelson, and Taylor remains the most valuable and best player on the roster. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Rumors have swirled that amid sitting in first place in their respective divisions, the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings could land Taylor, who has made three Pro Bowls. Taylor was bottled up most of the day against Jacksonville, finishing with 23 yards on eight carries and getting saddled with a fumble on a botched trick play. He is the last player to top 100 yards rushing in a game against the Jaguars, accomplishing the feat in the 2024 regular-season finale. Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdowns, Bayshul Tuten scored twice, and Rayuan Lane returned an interception 92 yards for a touchdown with 10 seconds to play in the second quarter. PACKERS' INTEREST IN JONATHAN TAYLOR SHOWS DESIRE TO MOVE ON FROM JOSH JACOBS AND HIS DOMESTIC ABUSE ISSUES Jacksonville’s 28-0 lead was the third-largest advantage at halftime in franchise history. It came five days after the Colts traded two of their best players in Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. They have reportedly turned down an offer that circled around a second-round pick. Indianapolis last won at EverBank Stadium in 2014. The 12-game skid includes a trip to London in 2016. Even during some of the Jaguars’ worst years — a one-win campaign in 2020 and a pair of three-win seasons — they managed to beat the Colts at home. Daniel Jones completed 19 of 28 passes for 144 yards, with a touchdown to Josh Downs and two interceptions. He was benched in the fourth quarter and replaced by Anthony Richardson.

Haley Stevens to endorse his Republican rival Mike Rogers. Stevens, who narrowly lost in the Democratic primary to El-Sayed, has been critical of his unwillingness to condemn the overt antisemitism of some of his supporters. After recent barbs between the two, El-Sayed disinvited her from a campaign event meant to showcase party unity in the critical Senate race, before she then endorsed his GOP opponent in a surprising last-second decision. Far-left streamer Hasan Piker attacked her motives in a post to X, claiming she was "weirdly obsessed with Israel." "haley stevens is not the spokesperson for democrats, she’s not the spox for jewish people or black people," Piker said on X. "she’s a self interested striver who’s weirdly obsessed with israel and has been paid handsomely for this strange obsession. this race is about solving the affordability crisis, defending democracy, fighting back against the racialized violence all communities have faced since trump came into power and serving michigan. haley and mike rogers serve trump, and trump serves the epstein class. the choice is clear." DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS AT DETROIT CHURCH "She’s clearly a disturbed, deranged, dishonest woman (less than 48 hours ago she was swearing to the NYT she was backing Abdul)," Zeteo News' editor-in-chief Mehdi Hasan also said on X, going on to attack the Democratic establishment for putting forward a "complete traitor." In another post agreeing with Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen accusing Stevens of being used as a "tool" for "racism and religious bigotry," Hasan said "Islamophobia" was "at the core" of her endorsement. Hasan also questioned Democratic leaders’ support for Stevens, writing, "She's evil." Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg also attacked Stevens and urged Democrats to denounce the congresswoman, who has said she remains a proud Democrat. "If you supported Haley Stevens now is your time to speak out, denounce her as the Republican she is and apologize for supporting a traitor," Hogg wrote. ABDUL EL-SAYED PLAYS DOWN HASAN PIKER TIES AFTER STREAMER’S VIRAL ANTISEMITISM FIRESTORM The endorsement followed a controversial ad put up by Rebellion PAC, founded by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur, in support of El-Sayed's campaign. The ad depicted grocery shoppers blaming U.S. military support for Israel for high grocery prices. Stevens called the ad antisemitic and demanded El-Sayed condemn it. His campaign said it was not affiliated with the ad, and he subsequently said he disagreed with its contents. Uygur defended the Rebellion PAC's advertisement before the endorsement, disputing claims that it blamed Jewish people for grocery prices. He said the spot concerned Israel and accused reporters of misrepresenting the message. On Sunday, Uygur claimed Stevens endorsed Rogers because "her only source of power is the Israeli lobby" and "She has no popular support, just AIPAC money."  Former Obama aides and "Pod Save America" co-hosts Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor also criticized Stevens for backing Rogers. "So [Stevens] didn’t feel welcome at a political event, so now she doesn’t care if Democrats win the Senate," Lovett wrote. "She’s against ‘hate’ while supporting one of the most hateful campaigns in memory. She endorsed then unendorsed then endorsed then unendorsed her former rival, who she promised to unite behind, after endlessly repeating (correctly!) that Mike Rogers MUST be defeated. What an incoherent disgrace. Hope this anger drives people to do whatever they can to help [El-Sayed] win." Vietor also wrote, "I hope folks will think about the fact that [Stevens] demanded that [El-Sayed] denounce as antisemitic an ad he was not associated with, but is now endorsing a man who called Abdul a terrorist. She is fine with bigotry and racism as long as its against the right people." EL-SAYED DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM HASAN PIKER AFTER DISTURBING REMARKS ABOUT JEWISH AMERICANS El-Sayed previously addressed the ad controversy, saying his campaign did not produce the Rebellion PAC advertisement and that he disagreed with its contents. "You guys love to play the condemn game. I've already been clear that that ad was not made by me, and I do not agree with the contents of that ad," El-Sayed said in a campaign press gaggle Saturday. The Republican National Committee welcomed Stevens’ decision. In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, RNC spokesman Hunter Lovell said the endorsement demonstrated Rogers’ appeal beyond Republican voters. "When Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who ran against Abdul El-Sayed and knows him better than anyone, stands with Mike Rogers, Michigan should take notice," Lovell said. "Democrats who feel Abdul has abandoned them have a home with Mike, who is building a winning coalition of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to save Michigan from El-Sayed's radical, terrorist-sympathizing agenda. The center of Michigan politics has moved, and Abdul is on the wrong side of it." ROGERS WARNS MICHIGAN VOTERS AGAINST EL-SAYED’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA AHEAD OF ELECTION Journalist Sam Robinson asked Stevenson Sunday how she could support a candidate whose positions directly opposed hers. "Nothing is perfect," Stevens said. The video shows a heckler interrupting Robinson, ending the exchange. "Stevens is a traitor," the heckler said. Stevens’ fiancé, Jason Turkish, and former campaign chairman David Kramer had already decided to vote for Rogers, Fox News Digital reported. Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

The busiest and slowest times to shop at Costco may vary by location, but Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. might be the worst time to go to the warehouse retailer, Simply Recipes reported.

Fox News Digital reached out to Costco, headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, for comment. Midweek shopping can be tough for those who work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekends understandably bring lots of traffic to grocery stores, as many people are off from work and stocking up for the week ahead.

However, if customers want fully stocked shelves, it might be wiser to go to Costco on a Tuesday or Wednesday, as the store’s supplies are most likely to be replenished by then, Southern Living noted.

Someone has to keep tabs on the AP voters who can't possibly watch all these games and are forced to scramble and put together a list of the best 25 teams in the country. With just two matchups featuring ranked opponents on the Week 8 slate, nobody was expecting too many fireworks, but the one boom we did get out in Los Angeles courtesy of USC, voters made sure to overreact. On the other side of the country, Wake Forest moved to 7-1 and continued its run of absolutely throttling opponents, but apparently, outscoring your last two opponents 92-14 doesn't matter much. Voters managed to put together the correct collection of the Top 5 teams in the country, but did so in the incorrect order. A shocking development, we know. While Miami played with its food in Chapel Hill on Saturday, the Hurricanes improved to 8-0 and are the most-talented and most-explosive of the three unbeaten teams remaining, making the No. 1 next to their name completely justified. THESE NUMBERS SHOW JUST HOW FRAUDULENT NOTRE DAME HAS BEEN DURING THE MARCUS FREEMAN ERA Georgia did exactly what was expected of it by throttling Florida following a bye week after its inexplicable loss at home to Auburn. Then, you have Utah at No. 3, which is where we can officially start arguing, or at least begin nitpicking. Utah is 8-0, but the Utes' 8-0 isn't as impressive as UCLA's 8-0. Utah has beaten exactly one team with a pulse, then No. 14 Houston at home, while the Bruins won on the road at then No. 13 Oregon. UCLA getting the nod for the three with Utah sliding to the four seems more sensible. Notre Dame is a spot too high at No. 4. For starters, the Fighting Irish have lost a game unlike UCLA and Utah, and you could argue their most impressive win came in Week 1 on a neutral site against a now 5-3 Wisconsin team. Notre Dame getting a touch of bias is as inevitable as water remaining to be wet. The Demon Deacons embarrassed Virginia 51-7 on Saturday to move to 7-1 on the year, with their lone loss being a 13-point defeat to No. 1 Miami. Despite having lost just once, putting together a 44-point win, and possessing an offense that has outscored opponents 187-31 over the last four weeks, Wake Forest did not budge in this week's poll. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Meanwhile, Kentucky and Alabama were both on byes this past weekend, but even they managed to move up one spot compared to last week. The reality of the situation is that Wake Forest is being penalized by its own schedule and a laughably weak ACC. With how the dominoes are falling in the conference, Wake Forest could finish the season 11-1 with its most impressive win being a road victory at Purdue in Week 2. Yes, even above-average teams are supposed to handle Stanford, NC State, Cal and Virginia, but the way in which Wake Forest has embarrassed all four of those down-and-out squads is more impressive than the No. 14 next to its name. So, USC beats an Ohio State team without its starting quarterback and technically moves up THIRTEEN spots in the poll to No. 18? The same USC team that lost at Wisconsin a week ago, the same Badgers team that lost 30-0 to Iowa on Saturday? Is this the same USC team that was embarrassed at home by Oregon in Week 5 by two touchdowns? This is your classic prisoner of the moment situation with an unranked team beating the No. 2 team in the country, but the asterisk that needs to go alongside that Buckeyes team the Trojans beat is a significant one.

Some team has to be ranked 18th in the nation; it just shouldn't be a USC team whose fanbase wanted head coach Lincoln Riley fired seven days ago after pulling off the big upset of what may have been the worst slate of games of the entire college football season. AP voters missed out on doing something hilarious this week. New Mexico improved to 7-1 on the year after going on the road and knocking off San Jose State on Halloween and kept a very weird streak alive.

Just last Saturday, it seemed like the Lincoln Riley era in Los Angeles was nearing its end. SC went into Madison as a sizable favorite over the Wisconsin Badgers and laid what can only be described as, charitably, an egg. For the first time in his coaching career, a Lincoln Riley team scored just seven points in a game. There were head-scratching coaching mistakes, including attempting a 58-yard field goal against the wind. Predictably, it did not work, setting Wisconsin up with outstanding field position and a score. The Trojans looked poorly prepared and poorly coached, with senior quarterback Jayden Maiava taking multiple atrocious intentional grounding penalties and throwing two picks, a muffed catch on a Badgers kickoff leading to a missed opportunity before halftime, not calling timeout when the SC defense was misaligned on a pivotal fourth-and-2, leading to a Wisconsin touchdown, and an incredible -17 net rushing yards. AFTER YET ANOTHER INEXCUSABLE LOSS TO WISCONSIN, THE LINCOLN RILEY ERA AT USC LOOKS TO BE NEARING AN END After the game, the speculation and discussion was immediate. Riley was mentally checked out in LA, was one common sentiment. USC's athletic department had already started putting together funds to potentially clear Riley's rumored $70 million buyout. And fans and analysts were putting together wish lists of potential new coaches for 2027 and beyond. Then, Saturday happened. USC hosted the Ohio State Buckeyes, still heavily favored despite starting backup quarterback Luke Fahey. OSU has a top three defense, arguably the best player in the country in Jeremiah Smith, and a wealth of big game experience under head coach Ryan Day. And sure enough, the Trojans dominated. Even in a college football season where parity has been more obvious than ever, it was a shocking upset. Ohio State dominated time of possession and racked up yardage thanks to some garbage time drives, but never really looked like they had much of a chance. When set up with a first-and-goal inside the 1-yard-line, the Buckeyes still couldn't get in the end zone. USC, which has been unimpressive for most of the season, looked like a totally different team. Star freshman Trent Mosley took a screen pass on the second play of the game for a long touchdown. Mark Bowman provided the highlight of the year from a tight end, hurdling an Ohio State defender and running through tackles on a huge catch and run. And the Trojans much-maligned defense grabbed an opportune turnover, forced a fumble that was inexplicably not reviewed, and got stop after stop when they needed it. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Needless to say, a win over the number two team in the country was a season, and potentially program, altering turn of events. And Riley had a well, interesting, time after the conclusion, including a run-in with the Ohio State athletic director, and an unusual prepared statement that he read during postgame media availability. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Buckeyes staff and players were walking off the Coliseum field in the tunnel, and Riley tried to walk to the same area with his family and security guard. But an OSU staffer held him up, and after a few seconds, athletic director Ross Bjork can be seen gesturing back toward Riley and saying something toward him. Whatever it was, Riley was not happy about it, clearly saying some very profane phrases back as he was finally let through. Another angle more clearly showed Bjork saying something indistinguishable as he left the field. Confrontations happen, particularly after a heated game between two proud programs. Things got even a bit more unusual though, in the news conference. LINCOLN RILEY ADDRESSES SPECULATION ABOUT HIS FUTURE AT USC AHEAD OF HUGE GAME AGAINST OHIO STATE Riley, who already addressed speculation about his commitment to USC in a midweek news conference, saying LA is where he wants to be, read a prepared statement about his job and the Trojans program. This time, clearly with a bit more, shall we say, fesity language toward the media. "This program is built on internal joy, not external applause," he said. "This win is for all the staff members, the players, the leaders, admin, all the people within the walls. I said before this game that I'm the right person for this job, and as long as all those people know that, that's all I care about. I appreciate being part of this university, and all it does. I appreciate our kids and our staff, and I'm going to continue to fight on because that's what being a Trojan is all about. Adios." Not exactly what you'd expect to hear from a head coach coming off a huge win over the No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, but it's hard to blame him for being a bit more defense than usual. Riley's faced a long list of questions about his job status the past few weeks, but again, those questions are legitimate. USC's two losses this year were inexcusable. The Oregon Ducks are far from the team most expected in the preseason, and the Trojans defense let backup Dylan Raiola walk all over them in a 41-27 loss. That Wisconsin performance was dreadful, and looks even worse with the Badgers' 30-0 loss to Iowa on Saturday. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER There have been few signature wins in the Riley era, until this one, and after an offseason marketing campaign revolving around the "championship window" now being open, sitting at 6-2 with their season on the brink is simply not good enough. But he deserves credit for the OSU win and how it played out. USC looked like a different team; prepared, focused, intense, and aggressive. Why they don't always look like that? Nobody knows. There are more questions moving forward though, because there always are. How do the Trojans, and Riley, respond in the final three games? The schedule doesn't get easier, with a trip to play the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington next week, and a date with the now-No. 5 UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl to close out the season. Win out, and the Trojans would almost certainly be in the College Football Playoff, boasting one of the best resumes in the country with three wins over top-5 teams. Lose two of the last three to Indiana and UCLA and finish 8-4? We might be talking about Riley's buyout and that open job at Baylor all over again.

A study published in JAMA Network Open followed 4,067 adults in the U.K., who were about 69 years old on average, to see whether their usual walking pace was linked to their risk of death over time. Participants completed a short walking test at their normal pace and also wore a wrist activity tracker for nine days to capture their walking speed during everyday life. FORGET THE GYM: A 30-SECOND TEST MAY BE ONE OF THE BEST INDICATORS OF LONGEVITY Over nearly 12 years of follow-up, faster walking in both settings was linked to a lower risk of death, even after researchers accounted for other health and lifestyle factors. A total of 739 participants died during that period. Beth Templin, a board-certified geriatric clinical specialist and CEO of HouseFit Physical Therapy & Fitness in St. Louis, said walking speed can offer a broader look at how well the body is functioning. "In physical therapy, we call walking speed the 'sixth vital sign' because it's a snapshot of how well many body systems are working together," Templin, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Changes in walking speed can therefore offer clues about a person's health, according to the doctor. "To walk briskly, you need strong legs, a healthy heart and lungs, good balance, and a brain and nervous system that can coordinate it all," she said. "When walking speed starts to slip, it's often an early warning sign that one of those systems is declining, sometimes before anything shows up on a lab test," Templin added. For older adults who want to improve their walking speed and overall fitness, simply taking more steps may not be enough. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER "Build the engine, not just the habit," Templin advised. "Most people try to walk more, but speed comes from strength and balance." The doctor suggested strengthening the legs with simple exercises, such as standing up from a chair without using the hands and doing heel raises while holding onto a counter. She also recommended adding short bursts of faster walking. After warming up, a person could walk briskly for one minute, slow down for two minutes and then repeat, gradually increasing the faster periods. The findings do not mean that simply walking faster will make someone live longer, experts noted. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "This study shows an association, not proof that walking faster by itself adds years," Templin reiterated. The participants included in the study were generally healthier than the larger group, the researchers noted. There is also no single standard method for measuring everyday walking pace with wrist activity trackers. More research is needed to determine whether the findings apply to other groups. Fox News Digital reached out to the researchers for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7a5fa726b22deeb695980 Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani Rebuke Stevens’ G.O.P.

"I really thought it was about to go down," Waltz said, attributing the decision to "boot the guy" back to Cuba to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. "The guy that we actually put on a one-way flight back to his crumbling country shoved one of my staff, slapped the phone out of his hand, was trying to bully the UN staff into cutting my microphone. Then, their foreign minister gets up out of his chair and rushes the podium." Waltz was accusing Cuba's government of enriching its leaders while its people suffered during a speech on the floor of the UN General Assembly when Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla approached the podium and sought to interrupt his remarks. RUBIO URGES CUBANS TO WORK WITH CIA TO BRING POLITICAL CHANGE TO COMMUNIST-RUN ISLAND "If they'll do that on the floor of the UN in front of diplomats, in front of the world, imagine what they do to these the poor Cuban people behind closed doors," Waltz said. He said he was holding up photos showing the deceased former Cuban President Fidel Castro's private island and luxury jet, as well as the Rolex watches, luxury vacations and yachts enjoyed by current regime leaders. "They use the UN, they try to use it to further their propaganda and blame us. We're not going to have it, and we smacked it down, almost literally." SHOUTING MATCH ERUPTS AT UN AS CUBAN FOREIGN MINISTER MOVES TOWARD US AMBASSADOR'S PODIUM: 'BACK UP!' To back up his claims, the ambassador pointed to Rubio's 100-page report titled "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism," which accuses the Cuban government of running espionage and influence operations in America. Waltz said the Cuban regime "has been exporting communism, their Marxist ideology, through leftist groups and current politicians right here in the United States" and blamed much of the unrest in America on "67 years of putting up with Havana." He finished with a prediction about the future of the Caribbean nation. "I think the Cuban people will see freedom on President Trump's watch, and I'll just leave it at that."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae79c9a726b22deeb69581a Biological male competing in girls' cross-country race denies another runner and her team a trip to state te 2026-11-01T20:10:02.699Z Biological male competing in girls' cross-country race denies another runner and her team a trip to state UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — When the Camas High cross-country runner's name was called, Joel Retzlaff yelled, "That's a man!" Retzlaff is the outspoken father of Skyview High cross-country runner Sierra Retzlaff, who has publicly opposed competing against a biological male. But as Joel made that declaration, nobody walked up to the podium. The Camas boy, who switched to the girls' team midseason, was nowhere to be found. Camas coach Matt LeGrand — who's in an impossible position — would not comment on why. But there's a decent chance the runner didn't want to face a crowd who knew that, by finishing seventh in regionals, he prevented an actual girl from advancing to state. DAD BANNED FROM SCHOOL GROUNDS AFTER PROTESTING TRANS RUNNER COMPETING AGAINST HIS DAUGHTER We won't mention that girl's name here, but she ran for Puyallup High — which finished eighth in the girls' 4A division. The top seven teams go on to state, and if not for the Camas runner's contribution, Puyallup would have advanced. That team's coach also wouldn’t comment. Understandable. This is the story that, on Halloween, had almost everybody involved spooked. The key word above is "almost," because there were some people at that meet at Chambers Bay who were willing to speak up. One of them was Carol Brown, a three-time Olympian who won a bronze medal in rowing who can't believe she's on the front lines for an issue she thought was settled a half century ago. "I fought for Title IX to be allowed to be in sports period, and so I've been fighting this battle. I never thought 50 years later I'd be fighting it again," Brown said. "And I absolutely believe in rights for everyone to participate in sport, but for it to be fair and safe, it has to be based on sex." What do you think about this Camas runner displacing another girl? "It's absolutely unfair," Brown said. "The girls put in work, and what I find the hardest to accept is that everyone is saying the girls' voices don't matter, their emotions don't matter, their hard work and once again, like 100 years ago took a second seat to the males." WASHINGTON GIRLS WALK OFF CROSS COUNTRY MEET IN PROTEST OF MALE ATHLETE, PARENTS REVEAL HOW IT CAME TO THIS The Camas runner started the season on the boys' team, where he finished 76th in the season's opening JV meet. After switching to the girls' team, he has won a varsity meet and finished second three times. In the past two meets — first at districts last week and again at regionals Saturday — he placed just ahead of Skyview runner Charlie Garrett. Safe to say Garrett wasn't happy about that. "I mean, it's really frustrating. I was sad after my race because I was less than a second away [from beating the Camas runner]," said Garrett, admitting that beating him was a side goal of hers Saturday. "But I PR'd, and I qualified for state, so I shouldn't be sad." What do you think about him not showing up on the podium? "It shows why he shouldn't be in it," Garrett said. "He has a reason not to show up." But plenty more opposing the Camas runner's participation showed up Saturday. One of them was Jasmin Faulk, the executive director of Women's Liberation Front (WOLF) — who lost her job at a community college due to a blog post about how "biology still matters." Her emphasis? That fairness in sports shouldn't be a partisan issue. "The issue is really about the safety and the fairness for women and girls," Faulk said. "That's why we're here, that's why WOLF has chosen to participate and be vocal on this. We have fought for women's rights on all levels and in all areas and sports is just another one that is fairly agreed upon as a general view. This one's an easy one for us to stand by." I mentioned to her that this doesn’t really feel like a right/left issue — that most Democrats support the separation of biological males and females in sports. WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL GIRL WALKS OFF STARTING LINE ALONE IN PROTEST OF TRANS RUNNER, ENDING HER SEASON "It's unfortunate, though, because the Democrats are not voicing that. I think that's where the frustration is," Faulk said. "It's a lot easier for the right to take a stand on this one because they've kind of been consistent on this issue for a long time, but the Democrats, I think, have been quieted into it, and the fearmongering in the movement has been the hardest for a lot of people." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The fear is real. Despite this being an 80-20 issue, most people don't want their name attached to their opinions on this matter. One male cross-country runner came over to the crowd wearing XX-XY Athletics gear and said, "I like your shirts" — but said he couldn't accept a "save girls' sports" bracelet or comment on the subject. A female cross-country runner took a picture with that same crowd and said, "You can believe you are something, but you're affecting other people who are actually that and have worked really, really hard for this, and you're taking away a spot from a girl who trained all season." She approached me twice afterward to make sure I wouldn't use her name or school. But then there are people such as Dawn Land, who held up a sign Saturday reading "Girls deserve fair sports!" "I think that this boy that is running in the girls' race is grossly unfair. And I'm disgusted at the adults that allowed this to happen," Land said. Well, Tuesday, adults will have a chance to make sure this doesn't happen in Washington state again. On the ballot is Initiative 638, which would prohibit biological males from competing in girls' K-12 sports. Carol Brown made a direct plea: "Vote yes if you believe in fair and safe sports for girls."

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 55-year-old actor shared what it means for the Cedar Sinai Board of Governors to honor the show with the Hollywood Leadership Award, and how he stays fit enough to keep up with filming the physically demanding HBO Max show. "I have an accountability partner and a guy named Dash Land who's the on-set dresser and he and I do a hundred push-ups every day, come rain or come shine. That's the base," Wyle said about his fitness routine. "We try to add a little bit on top of that if we can, if we remember to. That's base. We also installed a chin-up bar recently. I have a goal to be, I'm going to embarrass myself, to do ten by the end of the season. I'm at six right now, solid six." The actor stars in "The Pitt," an intense medical drama which follows emergency nurses and doctors over the course of one shift, with each episode showcasing one hour of a 12-hour shift. NOAH WYLE, MATT DAMON, LEONARDO DICAPRIO STILL CAPTIVATING AUDIENCES WELL INTO THEIR 50S Wyle portrays Dr. Robby on the show, who is the chief attending physician and head of the emergency department at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, and is dealing with the emotional toll years of working on the frontlines of medicine can take on a person. When speaking to Veja+ in January, Wyle said that the cast has to "take very good care of ourselves" almost "out of necessity," because while filming they "work 14 hours a day, five days a week, for nine months straight." WATCH HERE: NOAH WYLE WORKS OUT EVERYDAY ON THE SET OF ‘THE PITT’ WITH AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER "At the beginning of filming I asked all the actors to do an exercise, and it was just standing on your feet for 15 hours," he said. "And as you stand, every hour begin to note where your fatigue is coming in – where do you get stiff, where's painful, when do you have to use the bathroom, when do you get hungry. Write all that down and then work it into the appropriate hour of your shift, and it'll give you the physicality that you need." Men's Health referred this exercise as NEAT, which stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis, which takes into account everyday activities which aren't necessarily considered exercise, but get the heart rate up, such as mowing the lawn or vacuuming the floor.

You’ve got to be kidding," and another added, "Not even the sexiest in that show." "More like Noah WHY-le!

'THE PITT' STAR NOAH WYLE'S 'SEXIEST MAN ALIVE' CROWN SPARKS BACKLASH AS FANS FUME: 'YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING' The cast of "The Pitt," which also includes Emmy Award winners, Katherine LaNasa and Sean Hatosy, were recently honored by Cedar Sinai Medical Center at the Sunset Soiree, for the series' authentic portrayal of emergency medicine, a moment Wyle called "incredibly gratifying." "Cedars is like the crown jewel of Los Angeles health care, and being a third generation Angelino, I'm extremely gratified to be recognized by them as an institution," he said. "They were where my first son was born. I've said goodbye to many a friend there. The work that they've given to the people that I've known on both ends of life has been stellar, exemplary, heroic, beautiful. I'm really happy to come out tonight to support them and to try and raise money for them by opening up my rolodex." Prior to landing the role of Dr. Robbie on "The Pitt," Wyle starred in a different medical drama playing Dr. John Carter in "ER" alongside George Clooney. He starred on the show for 11 seasons from 1994 to 2005, appearing in over 250 episodes of the show. During an interview with GQ in April, Wyle admitted that despite his success on "ER," he was struggling financially before starring in "The Pitt." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"I’d taken it down to the studs a couple years ago, to the point where I was doing work for the money, for the experience and for the need to work." "But I was looking at the rest of my career [thinking], 'Let’s shrink this footprint down and turn it into something that’s sustainable and manageable,'" Wyle added.

But a travel expert says there are still ways to save. Hopper, a travel-booking company, published its 2026 Holiday Travel Index revealing sharp increases in airfare prices compared to last year. The report analyzed a week's worth of flight searches in September, focusing on lower-priced tickets and accounting for changes in Thanksgiving's date when comparing prices to last year. POPULAR US AIRPORT CALLED OUT AS 'MOST STRESSFUL' IN AMERICA FOR TRAVELERS The data shows that domestic round-trip airfare for Thanksgiving is averaging $402, up 31% ($95) from last year.  International airfare has also increased, particularly for popular destinations in Europe, Mexico and Central America. For Christmas, domestic round-trip airfare is averaging $452, up 23% ($85) from last year. Flights to Mexico and Central America have increased 23%, while fares to Europe are up 15%. Hopper attributed the rising price to elevated jet fuel costs. "Travelers looking ahead to Thanksgiving and Christmas travel will need to plan ahead for a larger travel budget this year, as the 2026 holiday travel is on track to be the most expensive in a decade," the report said. POPULAR AIRLINE HITS CUSTOMERS WITH STEEP FEE HIKE FOR FIRST TIME IN 8 YEARS "Months of elevated jet fuel costs due to the conflict in Iran have contributed to Thanksgiving and Christmas airfares reaching 10-year highs." Gary Leff, a Texas-based aviation expert who founded the blog "View from the Wing," told Fox News Digital that the higher prices will heavily impact families traveling together. "It's a much bigger deal when you're multiplying increases by, you know, four or more passengers," Leff said. Leff suggests travelers continue monitoring airfare prices after booking, as they may be able to recover some of the difference if prices fall. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "You buy now and the fare drops, you just have to watch it," he suggested.  "Don't just buy it and then never look again." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS "As long as you're not buying a basic economy ticket, most tickets no longer have change fees," Leff said. "What that means is that you can call up the airline and apply your old ticket to a new one and generally get a credit back for the difference." Leff also said common money-saving strategies, such as flying out of a different airport or booking a connecting flight, don't always work. "If you're looking at an alternate airport that's farther away, there are costs for driving," he said.  TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "You may [have] to park where you otherwise wouldn't, or somebody might drop you off or wouldn't, or the Uber is more expensive." He said choosing a connecting flight over a nonstop route can introduce additional risks, particularly during the busy holiday season. "If you take a connection instead of a nonstop, that's more of an opportunity for things to go wrong," Leff said. He added, "You should always consider your use of miles. If you have them, congratulations, and if you don't, consider accumulating them for the future." Jessica Mekles of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.

"Our message now is, whether it's now or later, if you illegally cast a vote, we will find you, we will charge you, and we will deport you," Percival said. His comments follow a Wednesday DHS press release announcing that dozens of noncitizens had been arrested on charges related to the agency's nationwide voter fraud crackdown. "The patriots of ICE have arrested dozens of non-citizens who illegally voted in American elections," Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the press release. "Some of them have criminal histories that include assault with a dangerous weapon, domestic violence, drug trafficking, burglary, and driving under the influence. The Trump Administration will not allow illegal aliens to steal the votes of hardworking American citizens. American elections are for Americans only." EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT HOUSE ANDSENATE CONTROL, BALLOT MEASURES AND 2026 ELECTION DAY POLL CLOSING According to DHS, several of those arrested also had criminal records involving offenses ranging from drug crimes to sex offenses. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's efforts to identify suspected noncitizen voters have faced pushback from some state election officials. In October, Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs challenged findings from the Justice Department last week after federal officials said investigators had identified more than 400 noncitizens illegally registered to vote in the state, some of whom they said had cast ballots in multiple elections dating back decades.

During an appearance on the "And the Writer Is..." podcast, Lambert discussed the powerful impact "Gunpowder & Lead," her 2007 song about a woman confronting an abusive partner after he is released from jail, has had on her fans. "It's such a huge staple for me in my catalog, just the subject matter, and how I got to that and who I got to write it with, and the stories I’ve heard from women over the years who have come up to me and said, ‘That song saved my life,’" Lambert said of the hit, which was released on her album "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and was co-written with Heather Little."At some meet-and-greets, I've heard some crazy things." TRACE ADKINS SURVIVED EX-WIFE'S 'KILL SHOT' AFTER BULLET PASSED THROUGH HEART AND LUNGS She recalled one woman who approached her in Indianapolis and said she didn’t want a photo. "She's like, ‘I just want to tell you that I finally had enough, and that song gave me the courage, and I did shoot him — and I got off,’" Lambert said. "I was like, ‘OK,’" she continued. "She was dead serious. She was hardcore. And then we cried together." Lambert said the woman’s story left her overwhelmed. "When someone tells you something like that about something you wrote that didn’t actually happen to you, it’s very intense," she said. "She was like third in line at the meet-and-greet, and I had like 85 people, and I was like, ‘I’m going to need a minute.’ I needed to take a breath, hug her and recover from what that is."

"I wrote it with a girl who experienced abuse herself." "I do think I’m trying to create awareness, and not in a preachy way," she added. "You can have millions of ticket sales and awards and records sold and whatever, but when somebody tells you a record saved their life … that’s why I do this."

The research, presented at the 2026 annual meeting of The Menopause Society last month in San Diego, looked at more than 6,000 postmenopausal women age 45 and older, comparing those who received testosterone therapy with those who did not. Women with a history of cardiovascular disease were excluded. Among women receiving testosterone, 3.8% experienced a first-time cardiovascular event compared with 0.5% of women who were not receiving the treatment, according to The Menopause Society. POPULAR ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER LINKED TO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HEART RISK Those events included heart attack, stroke, heart failure and other cardiovascular problems. Testosterone is a sex hormone produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands that plays a role in sexual desire, as well as muscle and bone health, mood and cognition, according to Cleveland Clinic. Anna Cabeca, a Dallas-based board-certified OB-GYN and menopause expert, told Fox News Digital that the differences between the two groups — women who received testosterone and those who did not — deserve attention. "The difference between 3.8% and 0.5% is certainly significant enough to warrant attention, but we need to be careful about what these numbers actually tell us," said Cabeca, who was not involved in the study. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES That amounts to about 38 cardiovascular events per 1,000 women receiving testosterone compared with five per 1,000 women who were not, the doctor noted. For women considering testosterone therapy, Cabeca said doctors should look at the patient's overall health, including heart history, blood pressure, cholesterol, metabolic health, medications and family history. "Sexual health is an essential part of overall health, and women deserve to have their concerns about libido, arousal and intimacy taken seriously, particularly during and after menopause," she added. While testosterone can improve sexual desire and satisfaction in appropriately selected postmenopausal women, the possible benefits should be weighed against potential risks, Cabeca advised. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER In cases when testosterone is appropriate, she favors careful dosing, monitoring and regular checks of a patient's symptoms and lab results. There are important limitations to the new findings, the researchers acknowledged. The study was observational, meaning the researchers looked at outcomes among women who were already receiving testosterone rather than assigning the treatment in a controlled trial. As a result, the study can show a link between testosterone use and cardiovascular events, but cannot prove that the treatment caused them. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Women who received testosterone may also have differed from those who did not in ways that affected their heart risk, including age, blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol levels or other health factors, Cabeca said. "This is an important safety signal that deserves further investigation, not definitive evidence of causation," she added. Fox News Digital reached out to the researchers for comment.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae78786726b22deeb69540a How mules deliver Grand Canyon election ballots te 2026-11-01T18:40:06.277Z How mules deliver Grand Canyon election ballots Elections officials in Coconino County are saddling up for a uniquely Western way of voting: using a train of mules and horses to bring ballots out of a tribal village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Nothing like it exists in the United States. Even at Phantom Ranch, deep in Grand Canyon National Park, park staffers must mail in their ballots or hike up to the South Rim to vote. But the mule trains continue just to the west of the park. County elections officials see it as a way to honor tribal practices and strengthen ties with voters. “It’s more organic,” Eslir Musta, elections director for Coconino County, said of using mules rather than motors to bring up the ballots. The practice has been the standard in recent years and is a great way to build rapport with the locals, he said. “And it helps the local economy with the mules,” Musta said. The county hires mules and wranglers from the Havasupai Tribe‘s tourism office — the same people who outfit the hikers who flock to Havasu Canyon’s blue-green waters and cascading waterfalls. “With packs clearly marked ‘Coconino County Elections,’ the mule train is a great marketing strategy as the crew wends its way down the canyon and over to Supai, the tribal headquarters and only village in the canyon. On Monday, two election office staffers will accompany the wranglers and pack mules as they ride down the eight-mile trail. In line with election guidelines, the staffers are from differing parties and work in tandem to ensure bipartisan oversight. It’s unclear if the mules — which are half donkey — are held to the same bipartisan standard. For Katherine Morgan, Monday’s trek to administer the election in Supai village marks her third election cycle. She was volunteering when Musta approached her for the coveted duty. She didn’t hesitate. “Absolutely not,” Morgan said, adding it was a chance to see the much-heralded canyon. “I’d never been down there,” she said. “I’d just heard about how beautiful it was.” A long trail ride and saddle sores The three-day assignment is busy, but fun in its own saddle-sore way. Morgan said she knew how to ride when she took the job. But this summer, she took lessons to improve her performance on the rocky trail. It paid off when she rode out with the ballots after the July primary election. Her soreness was “not that bad,” she said. The trip down the trail takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours; add another two hours to get back up to the canyon rim at Hilltop. No express trail exists for the election crew, but tribal officials ensure passage goes smoothly. “The trails are very wide,” Morgan said, unlike the narrower Bright Angel Trail at the national park. Hikers stand aside to let the horse-and-mule train through. Election materials are packed onto the mules, from poll books and ballots to accessible voting equipment and a Starlink internet router. “It’s a pretty sizable suitcase that goes down,” Musta said, noting it includes a touchscreen for voters with disabilities. So far in the recent history of mule trains, nothing has toppled off the mules and into the canyon, Musta said. But just in case, he added, backup supplies are available. A tiny voting precinct After the Supai poll (the only one in the canyon) closes on Tuesday, the staffers complete their duties, pack up the materials and spend a second night in the lodge. They pack out early Wednesday morning and transfer the gear to vehicles at the top of the canyon. The ballots arrive at county elections headquarters by noon, if not earlier. Musta hopes the practice will increase voter participation in the tiny precinct, which has 155 registered voters. Turnout is highest during presidential elections, at 30%-40%, he said. Although some tribal residents vote by mail — which is also packed out by mule — most prefer to cast ballots in person. The county has used other methods to bring out the ballots; for the July primary election, they used a helicopter to get election equipment to Supai but opted for a mule train for the return trip. The county has also relied on long-distance runners, as long as they are from opposing political parties. “We had people who were trail runners who loved to do it for extra exercise,” Musta said, adding they’d strap on backpacks to carry the equipment. But mule trains remain the preference. A unique Arizona tradition The mule train is seemingly unique to Arizona. But it is just one example of ballot delivery in areas with no roads, said Tammy Patrick, chief program officer at the National Association of Election Officials. Other jurisdictions have relied on helicopters, ferries and snowmobiles, Patrick said. “It’s driven by geography and topography,” she said of various ballot delivery practices. In Alaska, for example, 219 remote villages have no roads connecting them to county elections offices.  So bush pilots transport ballots. In other cases, depending on the weather, snowmobiles do the job, Patrick said. Even very urban Los Angeles County has turned to helicopters to bring ballots back from remote parts of the sprawling county, she said. But Coconino County, with its mule train plying the colorful gorge of the Grand Canyon, is unto itself, she said. “People love to talk about it because it’s such an anomaly,” Patrick said.

Panera Bread's avocado, egg white and spinach sandwich is served on a sprouted grain bagel flat and costs $5. Containing egg whites, tomato slices, spinach, aged white cheddar cheese and avocado, the sandwich clocks in at 410 calories and 21 grams of protein, according to Consumer Reports. SOUTHERN BREAKFAST CHAIN IN JUST 3 STATES BEATS MCDONALD'S, CHICK-FIL-A FOR BEST IN AMERICA The organization gave the sandwich an overall score of 75, a four out of five nutrition score and a five out of five sensory score, which is based on flavor and texture attributes. Fox News Digital reached out to Panera Bread, headquartered in Fenton, Missouri, for comment.  While McDonald’s made the list, other fast-food empires like Wendy’s and Burger King were left behind. McDonald’s Egg White Delight earned the 13th spot in the ranking with an overall score of 66, while its Egg McMuffin was ranked 19th with a score of 64.

Other chains such as Jamba Juice and Au Bon Pain were represented on the list, with Jamba Juice’s oatmeal with strawberries and brown sugar crumble earning fourth place. Dunkin' earned spots in the ranking as well, with items including the whole grain oatmeal with dried fruit and the veggie egg white on an English muffin. Panera’s Greek yogurt with mixed berries was also listed, and the chain’s ham, egg and cheese on whole-grain bread was one spot ahead of the McDonald’s Egg McMuffin. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS A few Starbucks menu items made the cut as well, such as the red pepper sous vide egg white bites, the spinach, feta and egg white wrap and a berry yogurt parfait. Panera customers on Reddit were somewhat divided in their opinions about the spinach, avocado and egg white sandwich. One criticism that surfaced was the amount of avocado.  "It had to have been less than 1/8th of an avocado," a Reddit user said in a thread about Panera Bread. "When I say I got one chunk, it was literally like one slice that you can see in the advertisement pic." Another person claimed to have been ordering the sandwich for a while, but felt it’s not quite what it used to be.

"Ah, yes, my favorite breakfast sandwich," said a fan of the menu item.  "I hope they never get rid of this," said another individual. Other people on social media shared a variety of different opinions. "I'm happy with just a Sausage McMuffin," wrote one man on Facebook.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7852d726b22deeb695361 Will Democrats block the stock trading ban again after the midterm elections? te 2026-11-01T18:30:05.462Z Will Democrats block the stock trading ban again after the midterm elections? Americans do not agree on much these days, but they certainly agree on this: Members of Congress should not get rich trading stocks while writing the very laws that move those stocks. The failure to ban insider trading in Congress is part of a broader rot now engulfing the swamp. Political corruption, in general, has become a top concern for voters — and for good reason. A new CNBC poll shows, perhaps surprisingly, that it is the most important issue facing the nation: According to CNBC, 36% of voters ranked corruption as the top issue facing the country. To these voters, corruption, and corrupt acts like insider trading, are even more important than the cost of groceries and gas. Despite a slew of arrests in Minnesota, California, and New York, where well-connected liberal groups and activists were caught stealing billions in taxpayer dollars, Democrats hold a four-point edge, 35% to 31%, on which party would better handle political corruption. Of those surveyed by CNBC, 93% said members of Congress and the president should not own or trade stock in companies that hold federal contracts, and 89% said companies owned by a sitting president’s immediate family should not receive federal contracts at all. DOZENS OF HOUSE DEMOCRATS REJECT BILL FUSING CONGRESSIONAL STOCK BAN WITH FEDERAL VOTER ID That all seems reasonable enough. But apparently, it isn’t reasonable for Democrats. On Sept. 30, Senate Democrats rejected the Stop Insider Trading Act after it had already passed the House with Democratic votes. If it had passed, the law would have barred members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from buying new stock in public companies while in office. It would have also forced public notice before lawmakers could sell what they already hold. CARVILLE TELLS DEMOCRATS TO 'JUST QUIT FIGHTING' AGAINST VOTER ID REQUIREMENTS, WARNS IT POLLS AT 75% But every single Democrat in the Senate voted no. Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s, D-N.Y., excuse? He claimed Republicans set the bill up to fail, loading it with intentional "poison pills" so that it would never pass. He also called it toothless, and said it didn’t go far enough. Democrats pointed to a provision requiring voters to show identification at the polls, which an overwhelming majority of Americans support and virtually every other first-world country requires. DEMS HAND GOP FRESH MIDTERM WEAPON BY OPPOSING WIDELY USED VOTER ID Schumer’s other objection — that the bill doesn’t go far enough — is hard to square with his record. One does not refuse to lock his front door because he would prefer an elaborate home security system. A partial reform on the books beats a perfect one that lives only in tailored press releases. Even more to the point: Democrats ran the Senate for years and never delivered the "real" ban on insider trading they now disingenuously purport to want. Senate Democrats’ recent vote against the Stop Insider Trading Act also puts attention back on Nancy Pelosi’s household, which sold 2,000 shares of Visa, worth between $500,000 and $1 million, on July 1, 2024. Less than three months later, the Biden Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Visa. The stock promptly dropped. As attorney and longtime Trump adviser Michael Caputo recently put it, "Plenty of legal analysts have questioned the suit ... whatever the lawsuit ultimately accomplishes, its most conspicuous result so far has been helping a well-connected investor avoid the losses other Visa shareholders suffered." That well-connected investor, of course, is "Princess Nancy" herself. However, the Visa sale wasn’t the first time hubby Paul Pelosi’s stock trading timing attracted scrutiny. In 2022, he bought more than $1 million in Nvidia call options weeks before Congress voted on major subsidies for the chip industry. He then sold them once the story broke. What funny timing! The more things change, the more they stay the same. At the turn of the 20th century, this was sometimes referred to in the jargon of the day as "honest graft." In New York, insiders like George Washington Plunkitt, who ran New York’s infamous political machine of Tammany Hall, declared, "There's an honest graft, and I'm an example of how it works. I might sum up the whole thing by saying: ‘I’ve seen my opportunities and I took ‘em.’" Today, Pelosi’s corruption is so obvious that stock-trading platforms like PelosiTracker, Quiver Quantitative, and Unusual Whales attempt to mimic her stock portfolio. In 2024, that portfolio returned more than double the S&P 500. EX-HOUSE DEM WHO RIPPED CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING BAN AS 'BULLS---' CHANGES HER TUNE IN COMEBACK BID The American people are not asking for much. They want the people who write the rules to stop playing the very game those rules govern. Republicans put a bill on the floor that would do that. Senate Democrats killed it. The Senate is out until after the election. When Congress returns for the lame-duck session, it should take the bill up again before the end of the year.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae782d3726b22deeb6952f3 Buffalo Bills defense is 'horrible' and that means team cannot win the Super Bowl, Terry Bradshaw says on Fox te 2026-11-01T18:20:03.745Z Buffalo Bills defense is 'horrible' and that means team cannot win the Super Bowl, Terry Bradshaw says on Fox Terry Bradshaw was known as the Blonde Bomber during his playing days when he helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win four Super Bowls, and he kind of lived up to that nickname during the opening segment of the Fox NFL Sunday show by dropping a truth bomb on the Buffalo Bills. The FOX studio crew was discussing the day's upcoming games and Bradshaw discussed the AFC showcase matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens. "This is gonna be a fun game to watch," Bradshaw began harmlessly enough. "Last year, they played each other and the final score was 41-40, Buffalo. You got two great quarterbacks, all right?" Yes, all right. "Now you got [James] Cook, and then you got the great running back for the Baltimore Ravens, [Derrick] Henry. So you got great running backs, great quarterbacks, but here's the deal, no good defense," Bradshaw said. Here we go. "Buffalo's defense is horrible," Bradshaw then added looking into the camera. "And with [Lamar] Jackson back, I expect him to throw the football, play action, even though Lamar has a bad ankle. This game's gonna be fun to watch it. LAMAR JACKSON HITS BACK AT CRITICS WITH FAITHFUL MESSAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA "And if there's one thing I've learned from the NFL this season, if you don't have a great defense ... you're not going to win a Super Bowl. You may have a great offense, but you will not win a Super Bowl. "Buffalo right now, fun to watch. Fun to watch. But they're not gonna win a Super Bowl." Well, so three things could be happening next: Firstly, Bills Mafia might be coming for Bradshaw. That is a practical certainty and the argument will center around the Bills being able to address their No. 30th ranked scoring defense or the offense being able to overcome that subpar defense. Secondly, the Bills prove Bradshaw wrong on Feb. 14 when Super Bowl LXI is played. Thirdly, Bradshaw is proven absolutely correct. SUPER BOWL LXI GETS PAT MCAFEE TREATMENT AS ESPN ADDS ALTERNATE BROADCAST History is on Bradshaw's side. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! No NFL team has has ever won a Super Bowl despite ranking in the bottom three in the regular-season in points allowed. 2026 NFL SEASON PREDICTIONS: DIVISION WINNERS, PLAYOFF TEAMS AND SUPER BOWL PICK REVEALED The worst scoring defense to win a Super Bowl was the 2011 New York Giants, who ranked 25th in points allowed, giving up 25 points per game. The next-worst were the 2006 Indianapolis Colts, ranked 23rd, and the 2009 New Orleans Saints, ranked 20th. The Bills, under first-year head coach Joe Brady, have shown improvement on offense from a year ago, which is logical since Brady is an offense-minded coach. Conversely, losing Sean McDermott, who was a defense-minded coach, has apparently hurt the team on that side of the ball.

Indiana, Delaware and Alabama police are each investigating shootings in crowded parties near college communities, according to police and university statements. Seven were hospitalized in Bloomington, Indiana, near Indiana University's homecoming, while the University of Delaware is still counting victims (six are reportedly hospitalized) and the Magic City Classic football game between Alabama A&M and Alabama State near Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, left at least one dead and eight wounded. SHOOTING AFTER MAGIC CITY CLASSIC IN ALABAMA LEAVES 1 DEAD, 8 INJURED After midnight near Indiana University, officers monitoring a large crowd around Kirkwood Avenue and Dunn Street heard shots around 1:30 a.m. ET and saw a man with a firearm running from the area, Bloomington police said. Officers took the man into custody near Dunn Meadow, and recovered a gun and shell casings in the area. Police said it remains unclear whether the suspect fired any shots. No deaths were reported in Bloomington, and police said they did not know whether there were additional victims. FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY SHOOTING LEAVES 12 INJURED, INCLUDING 6 CHILDREN, NEAR FOOTBALL STADIUM A disturbance in the crowd may have preceded the shooting, police said. Indiana University police and Indiana State Police assisted in the response. In Newark, Delaware, a shooting on Saturday night rocked the University of Delaware. "We are deeply concerned about the shooting on Main Street Saturday night, which has impacted our entire community," the school's director of media relations Peter Bothum told Fox News Digital in a statement. "We are grateful to the Newark Police Department, which is leading the investigation. Wee will continue to communicate confirmed information, which will be shared on a dedicated alerts page (udel.edu/about/alerts) and updated as we learn more." University President Laura Carlson said victims were receiving care and thanked Newark police, campus police and other first responders for providing on-scene care. POLICE OFFICER, WOMAN SHOT NEAR NOTRE DAME AFTER FOOTBALL TAILGATES "I am writing to you about the shooting last night in Newark on Main Street, although it is difficult to know what to say when violence like this erupts in our community," she wrote in an email to the school community. "We are all impacted," she continued. "I ask that you keep the victims in your thoughts and hearts as they receive care. Please also recognize the impact and toll on our students and community members who were on Main Street last night and witnessed this violence." The university did not provide a confirmed number of victims or say whether anyone had died, but a report indicated at least six were hospitalized. The investigation is being led by Newark police. The school urged students and staff to follow its campus alerts page for confirmed updates. In Birmingham, Alabama, one person was killed and eight others were wounded Saturday night after the Magic City Classic football game near Legion Field, police said. Officers found nine people with gunshot wounds in the 400 block of Graymont Avenue West shortly after 7:50 p.m. ET. SEVERAL UNIVERSITY OF IOWA STUDENTS WOUNDED IN DOWNTOWN SHOOTING AFTER FIGHT ERUPTS NEAR CAMPUS One victim was in critical condition and seven others were stable, authorities said. Michael Pickett, chief of the Birmingham Police Department, said most spectators and families had left the stadium property after the game, but the shooting happened nearby, where vendors were set up along Graymont Avenue. He said he was "very grateful that more people weren’t injured." Police spokesperson De'Rell Freeman said one person had been detained and transported to police headquarters for questioning, and "multiple weapons" had been found and secured. Alabama State and Alabama A&M are historically Black universities and archrivals whose annual contest has been played for more than 100 years. Nearly 70,000 fans attended Saturday's game, won by Alabama A&M 31-28. The event draws some of the largest crowds in the country for games played in their college football division. POLICE MAKE ARREST AFTER GUNFIRE DURING CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME LEAVES 1 DEAD The Magic City Classic has such a deep history that Alabama State coach Eddie Robinson Jr., a former NFL linebacker and alumnus of the school, proposed creating a Hall of Fame for the game. SEARCH UNDERWAY FOR SUSPECTED GUNMAN OUTSIDE NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL GAME VS MICHIGAN STATE In addition to the shootings near campuses, police in Dallas say four people are dead and 15 are injured following three separate shootings in a Dallas neighborhood. Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said police are still trying to determine if the shootings were related or what led to them. Comeaux said some arrests were made but he did not specify how many or what charges were involved. "This is a really big scene. It's spread out," Comeaux said. "We are interviewing some individuals right now that we have arrested, still trying to figure out exactly how it ties into all the shootings out here." In Fayetteville, Arkansas, six people were taken to hospitals with gunshot wounds from a shooting that happened early Sunday. No arrests have been made, police said in a news release. A preliminary investigation indicates an altercation preceded the shooting. Fox News' Bradford Betz and Angelica Stabile and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A joint fundraising committee for four progressive House Democrats has raised a record $2.35 million so far this election cycle, while barring donations from the Fraternal Order of Police, according to federal filings and the committee’s disclosure. The Squad Victory Fund is authorized by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. The fundraising gives the four lawmakers and their allied political groups a shared vehicle to collect and distribute campaign contributions.

It also bars donations from corporations, federal lobbyists and fossil fuel interests. The disclosure does not explain the FOP exclusion. SOCIALIST PRIMARY SWEEP SPARKS LAUNCH OF NEW RESOURCE LAYING OUT WHAT’S AT STAKE IN 2026 The fund’s other participants include four allied PACs. Contributions are generally divided equally among the eight participants, with each slated to receive 12.5%, though donors may designate their contributions for a specific participant. The fund has raised $2,351,388.02 in the 2025–2026 election cycle, its highest total to date, according to its FEC summary. Through March 31, 2026, it had spent about $1.6 million and reported roughly $68,000 in cash on hand. The committee remains active, so those figures may change.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae77bcb726b22deeb695123 Texas firefighters rescue distressed raccoon after its head gets stuck in a hole in a tree te 2026-11-01T17:50:03.232Z Texas firefighters rescue distressed raccoon after its head gets stuck in a hole in a tree Raccoons are known for getting into all kinds of things while out scavenging for food. They will tip over garbage cans, rip open bags and even climb into an attic looking for food if they can find a way in. They will also use tree hollows for dens. Assuming, of course, that they fit into said tree hollow — which isn’t always the case, as firefighters in Austin, Texas, found out last week when a raccoon got its head stuck in a hole in a tree. A concerned neighbor called the Austin Fire Department to see if they could help the trash panda out. It wasn’t reported if the raccoon was after food or if it was in the market for a den when it became stuck in the tree. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS What was reported is that the firefighters answered the call, used a Jaws of Life-type tool, and freed the stuck animal from the hole in the tree. The raccoon’s apparent limpness as it was lowered to the ground caused concern that its scavenging days were behind it. The firefighters addressed those concerns. "RACCOON RESCUE UPDATE: HE’S OKAY! For everyone who has been concerned about the raccoon Austin firefighters recently rescued from a tree, we have good news!" the Austin Firefighter Association wrote. "Although the video may make it look like the raccoon is unconscious or has passed away when crews free him and lower him to the ground using a tool called a catch pole, we’re happy to report that he was alive and unharmed!" TAXIDERMIED RACCOONS ARE SEEING UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND THANKS TO NORWEGIAN SOCCER STAR ERLING HAALAND Perhaps the raccoon was simply embarrassed by the miscalculation of the size of its head in relation to the size of the hole. I'm sure it's not the first nor will it be the last raccoon to do so. "After what we can only imagine was a long, stressful struggle with his head stuck in the tree, our little friend was understandably tired. But when firefighters handed him over to Animal Control, he was okay!," the update continued. "Thank you to everyone who reached out and showed concern for this little guy. We’re glad this rescue had a happy ending!" What more can you ask for from a raccoon with its head stuck in a tree hollow story than a happy ending?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae774c4726b22deeb694efd Inside top Trump bulldog’s plan to save House GOP majority and defy history te 2026-11-01T17:20:04.975Z Inside top Trump bulldog’s plan to save House GOP majority and defy history Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was jumping into the car with his wife on the way to the airport when he took a call from a Fox News Digital reporter on Thursday morning. It’s a microcosm of what the House Judiciary Committee chairman’s recent weeks and months have been: a seemingly endless series of planes, trains and automobiles across the U.S. campaigning for fellow Republican lawmakers. House Republicans’ senior leadership is crisscrossing the country raising money and support for their members to win Tuesday’s midterm elections. Jordan, though he’s not part of the trio, has much the same schedule. "Sometimes they’re fundraisers, sometimes they’re rallies, sometimes they're both," Jordan said. "We're doing everything we can just to help our team win, because … if these Democrats get in there, my real concern, I gotta be honest, is what they're gonna try to do to the structure of our government." MAPPED: TRUMP’S NONSTOP CAMPAIGN BLITZ SWEEPS KEY STATES A source familiar with Jordan’s travel schedule said he’ll have gone to 115 districts across 34 states during this election cycle. That includes 19 consecutive days on the road in the lead-up to Nov. 3 in states including Washington, Oregon, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois and South Carolina. And despite the diverse areas, Jordan said his message is mostly the same: Republicans cut taxes, secured the border, and Democrats will make it all worse. "We understand things cost a little too much, and we're working on that. But remember, most of that's because of the Biden administration and their record inflation. We're bringing that inflation rate down, but you know, we still understand things, things cost too much, and we're gonna keep working on that," Jordan said. TRUMP VOTERS REVEAL THEIR BIGGEST FEAR HEADING INTO MIDTERMS — AND IT'S NOT RISING PRICES "But the big issue we talk about is, if these radicals that now control the Democrat Party, if they get control of the government, the crazy things they're gonna do are just frightening." And because he’s not a member of leadership, he’s not afforded the same charter flights and police motorcades that come with that job. While he’s had some private flights, most of Jordan’s travel has been comprised of commercial airlines and long drives between destinations — including sitting in traffic. He said his favorite travel tunes include the greatest hits of late country star Glen Campbell. But Jordan said he also uses much of that time texting or calling colleagues, asking how their races are going, and talking to staff about what issues to raise at his next event. He’s also raised a significant amount of cash for their campaigns, donating $1.97 million to Republicans across the country and $2.65 million to the House GOP campaign arm. 10 DEMOCRAT-HELD HOUSE SEATS REPUBLICANS COULD FLIP TO SAVE THEIR MAJORITY It comes as House Republicans fight an uphill battle to retain their majority, as multiple political forecasts show Democrats poised to take over the chamber. Jordan’s volume of travel is notable for someone who is not in senior House leadership, but it’s not a surprise, given his years-long high profile. "His celebrity status is very helpful," one House Republican previously told Fox News Digital. "When Jim Jordan comes to town for you, you put 300 butts in seats." Another lawmaker shared a similar figure. Rep. Tim Moore, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital that Jordan reached out to him about doing an event in his district that wound up a success. DEMOCRATS SEE NEW CHANCES TO FLIP RED STATES — BUT A $400M GOP SPENDING ADVANTAGE COULD DERAIL THEIR PLANS "We had a fundraiser in Gastonia and it was very well attended. 
A huge crowd, nearly 300 people there — raised a lot of money, a lot of excitement, a lot of enthusiasm, and so I appreciated him coming down to do that," Moore said. His district also saw a visit from House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., which Moore said also raised a significant sum. Jordan has appeared alongside conservatives in deep red districts and moderates in battlegrounds — walking out to Survivor’s "Eye of the Tiger" for many of those appearances — painting a picture of party unity that’s a far cry from his roots as an anti-establishment rebel leading the House Freedom Caucus. "It’s kind of a Jordan 2.0," the first House Republican said. "He’s just a great citizen of the conference." A second House Republican told Fox News Digital that a wide range of members see Jordan as a "mentor." They said Jordan’s travels are a mix of Republicans asking him to come out and him extending those offers himself. "Jim doesn't care if you're moderate or even if you have to lean left to keep your seat, you have to represent your people," the second House Republican said. Asked whether he’s changed or the party has, Jordan said it was "the overall picture." "Any differences that exist in the Republican Party are pretty small compared to the differences between Republicans and the left, the hard left, the radical left, which now controls the Democrat Party," Jordan said. It has also inspired questions about what he wants out of it. House Republicans and members of the media are widely expecting that Jordan is eyeing a bid for senior leadership after failing to clinch a position in the past. If Republicans lose the majority, he’s expected to run for minority leader, where he’d be Trump’s top defender in Congress. But Jordan himself has publicly dismissed those notions. "I’m focused on … Tuesday," he told Fox News Digital. "The way you stop the radicals from making these structural changes to our constitutional form of government, these radical policy positions that they have, the way you stop them is at the ballot box, and that happens on Tuesday." And then the conversation ended, because Jordan had to catch a flight to campaign with Republican candidates in Florida that night.

The 88-year-old actor detailed his battle in his new memoir, "In My Own Time," and discussed his recovery during a recent interview with his "Back to the Future" co-star, Michael J. Fox. In the book, Lloyd recalled that his cocaine abuse began after a woman approached him at a Los Angeles nightclub and asked if he wanted to "do a snort." BRAT PACK ICON ANDREW MCCARTHY SAYS DRINKING 'DERAILED MY CAREER ENTIRELY' "She meant cocaine, which at that point I had never tried," Lloyd wrote. "I hadn’t been out looking for it, but I said all right. We went out to her car and did a couple of lines. That was all it took. I was hooked almost immediately. I loved it, and that was where my cocaine abuse began." "Within a couple of years of my arrival in Los Angeles, cocaine, alcohol, and pot had become woven into my life in a serious way," he continued. "It wasn’t just the occasional weekend indulgence. It got entrenched." 'CADDYSHACK' STAR MICHAEL O'KEEFE CLAIMS COCAINE WAS BUDGETED ON SET, ADMITS FILMING SCENES HIGH Lloyd explained that he made a point of staying sober while working, but his substance use intensified once filming ended. Fox News may be compensated for or earn a commission if you buy through our referral links. "I never went onstage or in front of a camera high or drunk, because I knew I would lose control of myself," he wrote. "But once the curtain came down or the director said, ‘That’s a wrap,’ all bets were off." "I just knew I liked it, and before long it had a hold on me," he added. Another substance that had a hold on him was alcohol. ZACH BRYAN ADMITS HE DRANK '15 BEERS A DAY' AS PART OF 'PERFECT ROUTINE' BEFORE QUITTING ALCOHOL Lloyd recalled being confronted about his drinking during a routine medical appointment. When a nurse asked how many drinks he had each day, he answered, "Two or three." "She said, ‘You’re an alcoholic,’" Lloyd wrote. "It stunned me, because I didn’t think what I was doing was a problem." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE But he quickly noticed that his substance abuse eventually began affecting his life on screen and off. "I was recognizing that I had a problem, and if I couldn’t yet appreciate that I was putting my life at stake, I could at least see that it was endangering my career," he wrote. "I had gotten into these things pretty seriously and I needed help to get under control and get out of it." "At some point, it became clear that I needed treatment," Lloyd continued. In 1993, Lloyd’s psychologist arranged for him to enter treatment in Arizona. He recalled being "completely wasted" when he boarded a plane to a treatment facility, where he refused to stay and ran into a barbed-wire fence after leaving.  "I refused to stay," he wrote. "I bolted out of the place and, drunk and disoriented, ran straight into a barbed-wire fence that tore up my face and left me a bloody mess." He was eventually admitted to Sierra Tucson, where he remained for five weeks.

Lloyd said he continued attending a private 12-step meeting for high-profile men, where he felt comfortable speaking openly about his addiction. "Some years later, on April 1, I got sober for what turned out to be the last time," he wrote. During a conversation with Michael J. Fox for Interview Magazine, Lloyd acknowledged that his struggles with alcohol were not immediately apparent to those around him. "You accounted in the book that you had alcohol problems," Fox said. "Yeah, I did," Lloyd replied. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Fox then asked whether Lloyd was drinking while playing his "Taxi" character, Reverend Jim. "Sometimes," Lloyd said. "It hadn’t gotten to be a big problem yet." Fox, who has also spoken publicly about his own recovery, asked Lloyd whether it was difficult to share his addiction in the memoir. "Because once you let it go, it’s out there, and you’re such a private person," Fox said. "Yeah. I had a problem," Lloyd replied. "Well, you recovered. We’re both in recovery," Fox responded.

Haley Stevens, D-Mich., was inside Detroit’s Perfecting Church on Sunday, standing next to Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers during a service, Fox News confirmed — an unusual scene in a Senate race roiled by Democratic infighting. The appearance came after Stevens was disinvited from a planned church event with Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, the man who narrowly defeated her in Michigan’s August Democratic primary. The reversal left Stevens at the same church as Rogers, El-Sayed’s Republican opponent. HALEY STEVENS RIPPED BY FELLOW DEMS FOR REFUSING TO EXPLICITLY BACK EL-SAYED: 'STAY THE F--- OFF TELEVISION' Stevens has pressed El-Sayed to condemn an outside group’s ad linking U.S. support for Israel to higher grocery prices, which she called antisemitic. El-Sayed said the ad was not produced by his campaign and that he disagreed with its contents. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., who helped organize the planned appearance, said Stevens was asked to skip it after the dispute became a distraction and upset the church’s bishop. FORMER RIVAL DODGES FULL-THROATED EL-SAYED ENDORSEMENT AFTER BITTER SENATE PRIMARY El-Sayed’s campaign also asked Stevens to stay away from its remaining events. Stevens fiancé, Jason Turkish, has previously endorsed Rogers and appeared at a Rogers campaign event, saying he could not support El-Sayed because of his positions on Israel. The dispute has put a spotlight on Democratic divisions in a close Senate race that could help determine control of the chamber.

The symphony’s board cited financial shortfalls stating, “The Symphony does not have the financial resources necessary to continue the season. Despite increased revenues, ticket sales and philanthropic support, ongoing operating deficits have left the organization with substantial financial obligations that make continuing the season untenable.” This is devastating news for the nearly 80-year-old performing arts organization. Even more so for the 66 full-time musicians who the board said would face layoff on Nov. 2. Hours after the board broke the news, the musicians took to social media expressing their shock and heartbreak at the board’s decision (@phoenixsymphonymusicians). “Making music at the highest possible level is the life’s work of every musician in The Phoenix Symphony,” they said, adding, “We have dedicated our lives to our craft and want nothing more than to continue to make music for our Phoenix community.” The news is devastating for audiences as well. If you have never sat in Symphony Hall and felt the power of a full orchestra wash over you, you have missed out. The performing arts offer an escape from a sometimes-harsh world; bring light and beauty to the everyday; offer a shared conversation; promote community and discovery; and they enrich the communities that support them in ways that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. And music… as Alphonse de Lamartine is quoted as saying, “Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.” How we got here will likely be dissected elsewhere, but The Phoenix Symphony is an institution in crisis. I believe it is worth saving, and the musicians who are the beating heart of the symphony deserve support. Hopefully, the organization can sort through its financial issues. And I hope that residents and those in positions of power will think about what we prioritize, consider how the performing arts enhance our lives and invest in the future of our many arts organizations before they are lost. We hope that you enjoy our November issue, and until next month, all my best, Kathryn M.

National Geographic’s annual Best of the World travel list, just released, features 25 travel-worthy destinations all over the globe.  The five standout U.S. destinations harbor stunning views, great food and unique cultural spaces.  AMERICANS CHOOSING TO VISIT SMALLER TOWNS OVER BIG CITIES AS TRAVEL COSTS RISE Check out the details.  This capital city was listed as the first U.S.-based destination to visit, highlighted for its lakefront adventure opportunities and local cuisine. Nestled between Lakes Mendota and Monona, Madison, Wisconsin, offers beautiful trails and green spaces. It's also city-central for several colleges, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This mix between college town, nature oasis and state capital gives Madison a unique flare, pairing beloved nightlife spaces with a growing trail network. National Geographic calls the city of about 290,000 residents "compact enough to explore on foot or by bike," as it’s certified by the League of American Bicyclists. NY AND LA DIDN'T WIN AMERICA'S BEST MEGA AIRPORT TITLE, BUT ONE MIDWEST HUB DID Madison reportedly is home to more than 200 miles of hiking trails and bikeways. These connect neighborhoods, beaches and about 300 parks, which, according to National Geographic, is among the most per capita of any U.S. city. Bikers can take the 13-mile bike loop around Lake Monona, which passes from the Olbrich Botanical Gardens to Madison’s downtown waterfront. The Dane County Farmers Market takes place on Saturdays in the summer on Capitol Square, with up to 20,000 visitors. It is reportedly the nation’s largest producer-only market, providing flowers, baked goods and fresh vegetables. 4 US HOTSPOTS JUST MADE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC'S TOP TRAVEL LIST National Geographic also shouted out some local restaurants, such as Fairchild for its use of local vegetables in homemade ravioli and Ahan for its classic Laotian dishes. After mudslides in Big Sur caused a three-year closure, some of the most scenic sections of the Pacific Coast Highway have been reopened, giving travelers the opportunity to take in the inspirational sights of California’s coastline. "Lesser known artsy communities" lie just outside the roadway, says National Geographic. On the southern end, artist colony Laguna Beach celebrates its centennial in 2027. Downtown Laguna Beach not only offers beach access, but fronts a new pedestrian promenade with boutiques, galleries, outdoor performance spaces and "al fresco" dining. The central-coast city of Lompoc features a trail of more than 30 murals depicting the town’s agricultural roots, as well as a wine region known as the Wine Ghetto. North of Lompoc is the one-block dairy farmer town of Harmony, which boasts a population of 18. The town features small-batch ice cream at Harmony Valley Creamery, and other locally owned businesses like Harmony Glassworks and Harmony Pottery Studio and Gallery. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ The northern end of the highway is home to more artistic regions, like Mendocino County and Fort Bragg, offering exhibitions and galleries like Pacific Textile Arts. In the heart of the United States, spanning between Missouri and Arkansas, the southern Ozarks show off "spectacular" bluffs, valleys and ridgelines. The region is a "haven" for outdoor activities, National Geographic said, as well as immerse cultural activities in neighboring towns like Bentonville, Arkansas — home to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Close to Bentonville, Bella Vista, Arkansas, is the self-proclaimed mountain biking capital of the world, fronting the new OZ Trails Bike Park. It's the state’s first chairlift-served mountain bike park for access to 20 miles of trails for all levels. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES About 60 miles across the Missouri border is Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, where the Ozarks unfold across 10,000 acres, featuring limestone cliffs and valleys, National Geographic detailed. Herds of elk, bison and longhorn cattle can be spotted here. Visitors can hike and bike the park’s network of trails. Baltimore is packed with U.S. history as the birthplace of the American railroad. The port city on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay chartered the country’s first commercial railroad in 1827. The National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation will reportedly mark the 200-year anniversary with a $38 million upgrade. The museum’s makeover will feature "archival treasures" like letters from Abraham Lincoln and railroad tech exhibits, according to NatGeo. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER National Geographic also highlighted Baltimore’s historic Lexington Market, established in 1782. The public market features merchants like family-owned seafood, produce and baked goods vendors. Baltimore’s Inner Harbor has attractions like the National Aquarium and 1854 U.S.S. Constellation warship, as well as parks and retail stores.  The waterfront features a whiskey distillery, green spaces and restaurants offering local delicacy options, like steamed crabs and crab cakes. The Baltimore Blueway has launched kayaking trails, National Geographic reported. A trip to Fort McHenry also came as a recommendation, as it's the location that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." National Geographic called attention to a second California location, Catalina Island — a remote destination only accessible by boat. An hour on the ferry from Long Beach, California, brings visitors to the island's sweeping landscape, including ridgelines and roving bison. Catalina Island is also home to indigenous plant and animal species, like small foxes that can be spotted along the 38.5 mile Trans-Catalina Trail, and coastal sage shrub. The Garden to Sky Trail offers an ocean overlook from the Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Garden, which showcases "rare island flora," National Geographic said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae77016726b22deeb694dbc US calls Turkey-Libya maritime deal 'unhelpful and provocative' amid regional backlash te 2026-11-01T17:00:06.765Z US calls Turkey-Libya maritime deal 'unhelpful and provocative' amid regional backlash The Trump State Department denounced the recent eastern Mediterranean maritime agreement between NATO member Turkey and the fractured Libyan state. The Turkey-Libya deal has also caused frustration and anger among many nations because they say it rewrote the established sea borders of the sensitive Mediterranean Sea region, where large deposits of gas might be located. The Eastern Libyan parliament approved the maritime accord in mid-October. The region is ruled by military leader Khalifa Haftar, who has formed an alliance with Turkey — the maritime deal ignores Libya’s internationally recognized government in Tripoli in the northwestern part of the oil-rich country.  A U.S. State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital: "The announcement of the ratification of the Turkish-Libyan delimitation memorandum of understanding has raised tensions in the region and is unhelpful and provocative — and our position on this matter has not changed." BILLION-DOLLAR POWER LINK CONNECTING ISRAEL TO EUROPE HITS ROADBLOCK IN BITTER REGIONAL FEUD The spokesperson added: "We encourage all countries, including partners in the Eastern Mediterranean, to resolve maritime disputes through good-faith negotiations and avoid any provocative behavior. Greece and Türkiye are both NATO allies. We encourage them to engage bilaterally to address any areas of disagreement." According to the spokesperson, "Peaceful resolution of such disputes opens the way for commercial investment and exploration that will benefit the entire region." According to the Turkish news agency Anadolu Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday said that the maritime agreement between Turkey and Libya was "entirely legitimate" and not in violation of international law. He added: "This is an entirely legitimate agreement, both from a legal and a political perspective. There is no need to debate it." Reuters reported Fidan also shot back at critics of the deal. "There are countries reacting to this. We know why they are reacting. Some are doing so because they need to, some really do have strategic problems with this issue. ​ However, this is an entirely legitimate deal, both from a legal and a statutory perspective. ​There is no need to argue this." NETANYAHU WARNS TURKEY SHOULD NOT GET F-35S, CITING ERDOĞAN'S HOSTILITY TOWARD NATO ALLIES Fox News Digital sought comment from both Turkey and Libya but did not get a response by time of publication. Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs George Gerapetritis angrily wrote on his ministry’s website that, "The memorandum will not be implemented. And it will not be implemented for the simple reason that it produces no legal effects whatsoever, as it is entirely contrary to international law." He added that "Türkiye had established a system of influence in Libya, essentially seeking to advance its own interests" and the Turkish media has ramped up its anti-Greece rhetoric. "There is a constant stream of reports pushing the Turkish government to become even more aggressive." Endy Zemenides, the Executive Director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council, told Fox News Digital that the Turkey-Libya agreement "absolutely" endangers the security of the U.S. and its allies. He said: "This memorandum specifically infringes on U.S. companies and U.S. energy policy. It effectively denies maritime rights and zones of Crete. Crete is NATO’s southernmost base. And the U.S. has been increasingly relied upon because of wars in the Mideast." He noted that the American companies Exxon and Chevron are present in Crete. US-BACKED ISRAEL-MOROCCO DEAL DEEPENS ABRAHAM ACCORDS AMID GROWING REGIONAL THREATS Zemenides said the Turkey-Libya deal is a way of pushing the U.S. out of the region. The U.S. has not been able to rely on Turkey for a decade, said Zemenides. He continued that "in allowing Turkey to challenge the pro-Western order" it is not good for American interests. The European Union invoked unusually strong language targeting the deal, declaring the deal to be in violation of maritime law. "The EU position regarding the MoU is firm and clear. As outlined in the European Council Conclusions of December 2019 and reiterated in June 2025, the Türkiye-Libya Memorandum of Understanding infringes upon the sovereign rights of third States and does not comply with the Law of the Sea. It is null and void and cannot produce any legal consequences for third States." Israel also blasted Turkey and Libya. The Jewish state has developed a troika alliance with both Greece and Cyprus. Israel’s foreign ministry said on X it "strongly condemns the decision of the Libyan House of Representatives to ratify the Maritime Jurisdiction Memorandum between Turkey and Libya." Israel’s foreign ministry added on X that "This agreement infringes upon the sovereign rights of our close allies in the region. Regretfully, once again we see Turkey working to destabilize the east Mediterranean region." Reuters contributed to this report.

Trailing 48-42 with just under three minutes left in regulation, the Cowboys put together an impressive 12-play drive that ended with wide receiver Wyatt Young scoring his second touchdown of the evening to tie things up at 48 apiece. Oklahoma State then tacked on the extra point to grab a one-point lead with 53 seconds left on the clock, but it was what took place between the score and the PAT that became the story of the night. After Young scampered into the end zone, he immediately ran over to a section of Iowa State fans sitting in the first few rows and began shouting at them. BIG 12 CONFERENCE ADDRESSES OFFENSIVE CHANTS FROM UCF FANS DIRECTED AT BYU DURING UPSET WIN With Young going out of his way to shout at some fans, the first two being young children, the officials flagged him for unsportsmanlike conduct, which was imposed on the ensuing kickoff. With the kickoff being pushed back 15 yards, the Cyclones were able to begin their drive at the 37-yard line after a return. The first play of the drive then went for 33 yards, putting Iowa State immediately in field goal position. The Cyclones were able to push the football inside the red zone before calling a timeout and setting up what was the game-winning field goal with two seconds remaining.

While it would be unfair to pin the loss on Young's unsportsmanlike penalty, especially given the explosive play the Cowboys' defense gave up on the first play of the final drive, it certainly didn't make life easy on the visiting team trying to hold on for the win. Young issued an apology to Cowboys fans on social media in the early hours of Sunday morning following the team's 51-49 loss. "I apologize to all cowboy football supporters, my teammates, and coaches for the lack of discipline and selfishness I displayed today," Young wrote on X. "Football is a team sport and one play, like the one I made, can change the outcome of the whole game and I'm sorry for that. The lack of maturity I showed is inexcusable and should have never been displayed on the field. I deeply regret representing the loyal and true motto Oklahoma State stands by the way I did. I take full accountability for what happened, our coaches do not teach us or allow us to act the way I did." Oklahoma State head coach Eric Morris did not sugarcoat the situation when asked about it during his postgame press conference, calling it "the most selfish penalty ever." With the loss, Oklahoma State fell to 5-3 on the season, which, barring a true miracle, means that its College Football Playoff dreams are dead.

The Packers' interest, at whatever level that has reached, shows the team's willingness to move on from Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs, who is currently on their roster but has been a disappointment and something of a headaches because of his legal problems. It has been widely reported, and confirmed by OutKick and Fox News Digital that the Packers are among the teams that have expressed varying degrees of interest in trading for Taylor – a list that includes the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants and, yes, the Packers. PACKERS ACTIVATE JOSH JACOBS; RUNNING BACK SET TO PLAY IN FIRST GAME SINCE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARREST And while the interest from the other teams is generally tied to a desire get consistent production in their running game, the Packers' interest glows in neon because Jacobs' days with the Packers seem numbered. Jacobs, 28, has played in two games for Green Bay this season after spending the first six games on the Commissioner’s Exempt List — which is effectively a paid suspension. That time on the list followed Jacobs pleading no contest in September to battery and criminal-damage-to-property charges stemming from a May domestic incident with his former girlfriend. But Jacobs remains under serious NFL scrutiny as the league said Saturday it is reviewing previously unreported allegations that Jacobs physically abused three other women. That review expanded after police records released Oct. 30 showed that the three other women had contacted authorities about alleged physical or verbal abuse by Jacobs in incidents dating to 2021. Jacobs’ attorneys David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld, and Clarence F. Duchac III, released a statement Saturday addressing the allegations by saying police had weighed the allegations from the three other women and moved forward with "only two misdemeanor charges." But that is not the point. The point is an NFL suspension under the Personal Conduct Policy is in the works and now could include newfound allegations of abuse. And regardless of when that suspension comes, the new allegations are a black eye against Jacobs and the Packers by extension for continuing to support a player who carries an expanding list of domestic abuse allegations. JOSH JACOBS FACES TWO MISDEMEANORS CHARGERS AFTER STRANGULATION ARREST AND PACKERS PREPARE FOR ANY SCENARIO So would the Packers be better off with Jonathan Taylor, who is among the league's rushing leaders and is tied for league lead with eight rushing touchdowns? Or would they be prefer to continue carrying Jacobs and his uncertain playing status upon completion of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy Review? These are not tough questions. And the Packers' apparent interest in Taylor has already delivered an answer. The greater problem here is whether the Packers would be willing to pay the heavy price to acquire Taylor. The Colts want a deal founded on the Christian McCaffrey trade of 2022 between the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers. The Niners sent Carolina a second-, third-, and fourth-round pick in 2023 and a fifth-rounder in 2024. COLTS TRADE PRO BOWL GUARD QUENTON NELSON TO SEAHAWKS, THE FIRST OF WHAT COULD BE MULTIPLE DEADLINE MOVES If the Packers are willing to pay that price, the jettisoning of Jacobs and his domestic abuse ties seem uncomplicated by comparison. The Packers could actually trigger in the neighborhood of $5 million in salary cap savings by releasing Jacobs by the trade deadline. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! And while there is a dead cap charge the team would have to absorb the remainder of this year and next, the cap savings for 2027, the final year of Jacobs' contract, would be around $13 million. The math makes sense. The upgrade at the position makes sense. The relief of what has become a growing legal headache makes sense. The Packers' interest in Jonathan Taylor makes sense in context of moving on from Josh Jacobs.

An invitation from a friend lands in your inbox. Something feels off, so you do the responsible thing. You email your friend to make sure the invitation is legitimate. A reply comes back confirming everything. You would probably feel comfortable clicking at that point, right? That's what makes a recent email from John in Westlake, Ohio, so unsettling. He received a suspicious Evite and decided to investigate. However, the response he received raised even more questions. John has since confirmed with his friend that the emails were part of a scam. His experience reveals a potential weakness in how we verify suspicious emails, especially when someone else's inbox may be compromised. Missed CyberGuy LIVE?

FAKE CHATGPT BILLING EMAILS CAN STEAL YOUR LOGIN John received what appeared to be a fraudulent Evite from a friend. After reading our previous warnings about fake Evite emails, he decided to email his friend directly rather than click the invitation. What happened next made him even more suspicious. Here's what John wrote: "I received what I thought was a fraudulent eVite from a friend. Thanks to your previous posts, I strongly suspected that this was a phishing attempt. So, I independently emailed my friend and asked if the eVite was legitimate. I got the response below." Hi John This is from me, and I sent it, Sorry for the confusion, Thank you "It appears that the scammers either set up an auto-response on the Gmail account or manually responded to my email. The punctuation was wrong, so I didn't consider the response legitimate." John thought the reply sounded unlike his friend and wondered whether someone had gained access to the account. He later contacted his friend again and confirmed that the emails were a scam. John also shared the actual Evite-branded invitation, which advertised a "Dinner Gathering & Celebration" and included a "View Invitation" button. Its polished design resembled a legitimate event invitation, showing how easily someone could mistake a fraudulent message for the real thing. WHY VERIFIED SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS CAN STILL LEAD YOU INTO A SCAM Most people know they should be cautious about unexpected links. In fact, we've repeatedly encouraged readers to verify suspicious messages before taking action. That remains excellent advice. However, there's an additional concern when the email account you're contacting may already be under someone else's control. The Federal Trade Commission warned in May 2026 about fraudulent invitations that imitate popular services such as Evite and Paperless Post. These messages may appear to come from someone you recognize. When you try to view the invitation, a fake website can ask for your email password or a verification code. If criminals obtain access to that account, they may send more fraudulent invitations to the account owner's contacts. The messages can appear to originate from a legitimate email address, making them especially convincing. Now consider what happens when someone replies to one of those invitations asking whether it's real. If a criminal still controls the sender's inbox, that person could potentially intercept the question and send a reassuring answer. A recipient might then believe the invitation is safe because a familiar email address confirmed it. John wondered whether someone had configured an automatic response inside his friend's Gmail account. Technically, that's possible. Gmail allows users to create email templates and filters that automatically respond to certain messages. Someone with unauthorized access could potentially misuse that feature or simply respond manually while impersonating the account owner. Although John confirmed the emails were fraudulent, we still don't know how the reassuring reply was generated. There's no technical evidence yet showing whether someone accessed his friend's account, configured an automatic response or used another method to impersonate him. What John's experience does demonstrate is that a reassuring email reply can accompany a confirmed scam. We reached out to Evite about John's experience and asked whether the company was aware of this type of scam. In a statement provided to CyberGuy, Evite said: "We're not currently seeing a rise in phishing scams, however, staying aware is always important, which is why we're constantly monitoring and providing tools to help users spot the fakes at evite.com/blog/etiquette/how-to-spot-phishing-email-scam/ . The best way to tell the difference is that a scam is generic, but a real gathering today is highly specific. Real hosts are over-communicating, sharing everything from parking instructions and dress codes to very specific themes like 'Strawberry' or 'Western.' That level of detail is what makes a modern invite harder to fake and gives guests the confidence to say 'yes' without second-guessing. Evite advice? Check the details. If it just says 'You're invited' with a link, be cautious. A real Evite host today is telling you where to park and what to wear." Evite's advice is worth keeping in mind, although scammers can also create convincing invitations with specific event details. That's why it's important to take additional precautions before clicking an unexpected invitation. A few changes to how you verify unexpected invitations can help prevent a suspicious email from becoming a much bigger problem. If an invitation seems unusual, contact the sender using a phone number you already have. You can also reach out through another established communication channel, provided you have reason to trust that account. Avoid using phone numbers included in the suspicious invitation. A criminal could provide a fake contact number designed to make the story sound legitimate. Be cautious if an invitation asks you to enter your email password or share a security code before revealing event details. A phishing website may use those requests to steal account access. If you expect an invitation from a particular service, open its official app or visit its website directly. Check whether the invitation appears in your account rather than following an unfamiliar link. Pay attention if a familiar contact suddenly uses an unusual writing style or gives an answer that doesn't fit the conversation. Unexpected requests to click another link should make you even more cautious. However, don't rely entirely on spelling mistakes or punctuation. Criminals can write convincing messages, while legitimate emails may contain errors. The safest approach is to confirm the situation through another trusted method. Fake invitations can sometimes lead to malicious downloads rather than stolen passwords. In certain attacks, criminals disguise remote access software as something you need to install to view an invitation. Strong antivirus software can help identify dangerous downloads and block known malicious websites on supported devices. Keep your operating system and security software updated so you receive the latest available protections. If you accidentally downloaded an invitation file, avoid opening it. Run a security scan using trusted software. If you entered login credentials on a suspicious website, change them through the legitimate service immediately. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices at Cyberguy.com If you suspect someone has accessed your Gmail account, review its settings for changes you didn't make. An attacker may use forwarding or automated email rules to interfere with incoming messages. On a computer, follow these steps: If you discover unfamiliar settings, investigate them and remove unauthorized changes. You should also secure your Google account and review recent sign-in activity. A strong, unique password helps protect your email. You should also enable two-factor authentication or use a passkey where supported. Passkeys provide stronger protection against phishing because they are tied to legitimate websites or apps. Visit your Google Account security settings at myaccount.google.com/security to review recent activity and connected devices. If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password using a trusted device and sign out unfamiliar sessions. A password manager can help you avoid reusing passwords across accounts. That way, one exposed password is less likely to compromise another service. Scammers often use personal information found online to make fraudulent messages sound more convincing. Data brokers collect and sell details such as your email address, phone number and information about your family. A personal data removal service can help reduce that exposure by requesting that participating data brokers remove your information. Although no service can erase everything or prevent a friend's email account from being hacked, limiting what's available online may make it harder for criminals to personalize scams. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com When you encounter a fraudulent invitation, use your email provider's phishing-reporting tools. In Gmail, open the suspicious message, select the three-dot menu and choose Report phishing . You can also report scams to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. If the message appears to come from a friend, contact that person using another trusted channel. They may need to secure their account and alert other people who received similar invitations. If your friend confirms that someone accessed their account, avoid interacting with the invitation. Save the suspicious message as evidence and report it to your email provider. You may also want to check whether you received any follow-up messages containing unfamiliar links. Encourage your friend to begin account recovery through their email provider's official website. They should review their account activity and remove unauthorized access. If the scammer sent invitations to other contacts, your friend should warn those people through a communication method they still control. For Gmail users, Google provides instructions for securing a hacked account. Acting quickly may help prevent additional messages from reaching trusted contacts. John's email made me reconsider a piece of advice I often give. I've always encouraged people to contact someone they know when a suspicious message arrives. I still believe that's smart advice, but how you reach that person is important. If their email account has been compromised, you could end up communicating with the scammer instead. Personally, I'd rather pick up the phone and call a number I already trust. I'm glad John trusted his instincts and followed up with his friend. He received a reply saying the invitation was legitimate, yet he kept questioning it. That extra effort helped him confirm the scam. We can't assume every strangely worded email comes from a hacker, but we also shouldn't ignore something that feels wrong. Scammers count on us trusting familiar names and email addresses. John's experience shows why a little extra verification can be worth the effort. Have you ever questioned a suspicious email, only to receive a reassuring reply that still didn't sound like the person you knew? Did you later discover their account had been hacked?

I spent a good part of the day yesterday in the car and missed a lot of college football action trying to make it back in time for our little guy to go trick or treating. That was a success and, after I unpacked, I was able to catch the unranked Tar Heels and a single and focused Bill Belichick nearly upset No. 1 Miami. Bill and company almost pulled it off. Everyone knows it only really counts if you pull it off. Which brings me to another of the games I caught the end of, unranked USC defeating No. 2-ranked Ohio State. Obviously, the Buckeyes were once again highly overrated. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!

Bottom line, they couldn't get the job done. The beard dye is fading in Columbus. Now to more important matters than the sad state of Ohio State football. Paige Spiranac putting her love of Halloween on display for all of America. If you're going to do such a thing, you have to go all out. It's safe to say that the top golf influencer on the planet, and some are even saying the best influencer to have ever done it, went all out. PAIGE SPIRANAC GIVES PEOPLE WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY NEEDED: HER YOGURT BOWL RECIPE Are we still declaring winners of Halloween and other holidays? I don't know.

She showed up and kept the pressure on everyone else trying to compete. If that's not how you win Halloween, I don't know the rules anymore. I watched the "Capturing Bigfoot" documentary when it came out on Bigfoot Day, which is October 20, for those who didn't know. The documentary is about the famous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage. The footage that supposedly shows Bigfoot out for a stroll in California. There were a few things about the Patterson-Gimlin film that I didn’t know before I sat down and watched it. On the top of that list is that people still believed, at least before this documentary, that footage was real. That blew me away. I thought it was agreed upon long ago that it was fake. Apparently not. There were some out there who believed it was real video evidence of Bigfoot. The documentary (spoiler alert) shows another piece of footage that was believed to be a test run a year before Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin filmed the footage we have all seen. I debated whether I would write a standalone article about the documentary and I decided that it belonged in "America's Best Daily Column." I said in a prior edition of Sunday Screencaps that I would watch it after all, and I did purchase it and waste my time watching it. CARMEN ELECTRA OFFICIALLY KICKS OFF HALLOWEEN SEASON AT A GAS STATION, POSTGAME POLICE CHASE & BALL-SAC Back to the doc. Another piece of information I learned about the Patterson-Gimlin film was how much money it generated when it first came out. I had no idea that it was shown in venues around the country. I didn’t get into Bigfoot because of the Patterson-Gimlin film. As I've mentioned before, it was the fine work and incredible confidence in the existence of Bigfoot (despite an overwhelming lack of evidence) by the folks on the show "Finding Bigfoot" that got me hooked. So, if you're interested in learning more about the Patterson-Gimlin film, the documentary will fill you in. They spoke to many people involved in and around the famous footage. If you're hoping this documentary finally debunks the Patterson-Gimlin film, I'd point you at the original footage. That does a decent job of debunking it all by itself. Oh, and one more thing I learned from this doc. The Bigfoot in the Patterson-Gimlin is female and has boobs. - Scott in Ridgeland SC writes: SeanJo – hope you had a great weekend off. Been away from home quite a bit so first grill chance I’ve had in a while and all is good, beautiful sunset, flood tide coming in (no redfish running unfortunately), bottle of pinot noir ready to go and hoping the Gamecocks come back and win (they did)! Maybe a little dark liquor later and yes that ribeye was way bigger than I thought it was going to be. All is right with the world. SeanJo Nice meat, Scott. We had a great week off. I'm glad you got a chance to fire up the grill and that it happened during a win. Keep sending in your meat. ------------------------- That is all I have on this first day of November. Yesterday was the Super Bowl for Instagram models, and they took Paige Spiranac's lead by dumping out their best Halloween content. My Panthers have already lost this week. You know what's nice about losing on Thursday night? You can focus on your fantasy football team losing on Sunday. That said, the Panthers are still on top of the NFC South and have the rest of the division right where they want them. There's a lot of football left to be played and, at 3-4, they're still in it. Yes, I am ignoring the in-season coaching changes and what that says about the current state of the franchise. I'm choosing to remain positive. Again, there's a lot of football left.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae75650726b22deeb69473f JONATHAN TURLEY: Pope Leo XIV casts ballot in US election, raising questions about foreign leaders voting te 2026-11-01T15:10:08.530Z JONATHAN TURLEY: Pope Leo XIV casts ballot in US election, raising questions about foreign leaders voting "So, the Pope doesn’t take sides. Prevost has another opinion, but we won’t do that now." That funny quip from Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost, referred to the historic game in Rome when the Villanova and Notre Dame basketball teams play each other. However, a story this week raised a different question of when the Pope, as opposed to Prevost, can "take sides." POPE LEO MEETS WITH CHICAGO'S FAR-LEFT MAYOR, GEORGE FLOYD'S FAMILY LAWYER AT THE VATICAN This month, American-born Pope Leo XIV became the first pope ever to vote in a U.S. election. A longtime Chicago native, the Pope mailed an absentee ballot to Will County, and the clerk’s office confirmed to Fox News Digital that "Robert Prevost is on the list of individuals who requested a Vote by Mail ballot." There is no question that the pope can vote in the Holy See. Indeed, he is the ultimate and final vote in the Vatican, but can he actually vote in Illinois races — including the governor’s race involving incumbent Democrat J.B. Pritzker? The answer appears to be yes, but it raises some novel questions. Now, as a threshold matter, I want to shed some bias. I was raised Catholic in Chicago. No, that is not the bias. There is that lingering conflict with the pope coming out as a White Sox fan. Many of us on the North Side hoped for a conversion to restore our faith in papal infallibility. However, he has remained entrenched in his South Side allegiance. This column rises above that historic rivalry and does not suggest that White Sox fans can be challenged at the polls. Besides, I previously explained that the pope is a Cubs fan without knowing it. CHICAGO MAYOR JOHNSON HOPES TO ENLIST POPE IN REPARATIONS FIGHT AFTER HE APOLOGIZED FOR 'SCOURGE OF SLAVERY' Rather, what surprised me was that the head of a foreign state could vote in U.S. elections. The Vatican is a distinct nation with a diplomatic corps, a court system, a local government, and even a military in the form of the legendary Swiss Guards. The Holy See Press Office declared, "Pope Leo XIV has exercised his right to vote as a United States citizen whenever he was eligible to do so. The Holy See Press Office confirms that, in keeping with this long-standing practice of civic participation, he has submitted his mail-in ballot in Chicago." The Holy See maintains that Pope Leo retains his status as a U.S. citizen while serving as the head of a foreign nation. There is support for this position. The State Department has maintained that dual citizens do not have to choose between their countries, though it does not expect them to serve as the head of another country. Notably, the State Department requires dual citizens to use a U.S. passport to enter the country. Does that mean that, when traveling as head of state, Pope Leo has to use a U.S. passport? Unlikely, but intriguing. It strikes me as odd that a person can lead another country and still vote in U.S. elections. With all of those worried about Russian interference in elections, imagine if Putin could actually vote in U.S. elections. Obviously, Pope Leo is greatly loved and represents someone whose values are aligned with this country. Yet, he is also the head of state of a foreign nation. SUPREME COURT RULES ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS RECEIVED AFTER ELECTION DAY Under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), military personnel and citizens abroad are allowed to vote in U.S. elections. It is no longer considered an absentee vote requiring an excuse but simply a mail-in ballot. The question is whether this right should be suspended when you assume a position in a foreign nation, let alone the head of such a nation. Dual citizenship has long been debated over the difficult questions raised by nations with opposing values and interests. However, being the head of a foreign government with potentially opposing interests and actions to the United States creates a curious status. STATE DEPARTMENT CONSIDERS SHARING PASSPORT RECORDS FOR VOTER CITIZENSHIP CHECKS It turns out that when Gov. Pritzker met with the pope last year, he was actually meeting with a constituent and voter. I am most surprised that the Vatican does not have a policy against such voting, though this is admittedly unprecedented. I would think that the head of the Catholic faith and the head of a foreign government would have a single national citizenship running to the Holy See. All popes are selected from the global faithful by the College of Cardinals and thus have national citizenship with other countries. In assuming their positions, the cardinals "pledge and swear, as individuals and as a group, to observe faithfully and scrupulously the prescriptions contained in the Apostolic Constitution." They also reaffirm that they are not subject to countervailing allegiances or pressures from outside the College: "And never to lend support or favour to any interference, opposition or any other form of intervention, whereby secular authorities of whatever order and degree or any group of people or individuals might wish to intervene in the election of the Roman Pontiff." However, it is fascinating that, once elected, popes do not shed that status upon assuming the head of the Holy See. It is an uncomfortable question since it also raises whether the head of a foreign government should have dual citizenship. Most people were legitimately thrilled, including myself, by the first American pope and can view this as an unlikely "one-off." However, it could just as easily happen with another nation and a dual citizen. At the risk of my own excommunication, it seems a worthy question for discussion, even though I doubt any politicians would relish such a debate. For his part, Pope Leo stated before the Villanova-Notre Dame game that the pope will not take sides in the U.S. elections, but Robert Prevost will.

"It is tough in the moment, but we’ll be back," Reese said after the Dream’s 68-63 loss to the Golden State Valkyries in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals at Chase Center. ANGEL REESE, ATLANTA DREAM FALL SHORT IN GAME 7 AS GOLDEN STATE VALKYRIES WIN FIRST WNBA CHAMPIONSHIP Reese finished with eight points on 3-for-7 shooting, 12 rebounds and four turnovers. She scored one point and did not attempt a field goal in the fourth quarter as Golden State secured its first championship. Gabby Williams scored 28 of her 30 points in the second half and was named Finals MVP. Reese finished a fourth consecutive game with more turnovers than made baskets. But afterward, Reese said she remained proud of her season and grateful for the teammates who helped Atlanta get within one victory of a championship. "I’m really proud of the year that I had," Reese said. "I mean, I’ve done a lot of great things this year, but I wouldn’t be able to do it without this group." "I’m a young player and I’m very vocal, but I think they really helped me a lot mature in different ways that I haven’t really been challenged," Reese said. "And they really challenged me to be better every single day." Reese described a locker room where players supported one another’s accomplishments. "There’s no egos in the locker room and nobody’s selfish," she said. "Like, everybody just wants to see each other succeed." WNBA FINALS TEAMS END SEASON WITH ONE FINAL NATIONAL ANTHEM SNUB AS DREAM, VALKYRIES LEAVE COURT That, Reese argued, was a reason to believe Atlanta could eventually finish the job. "When you have a team like that, I’ve been a part of some teams and I know what it takes to win a championship," she said. "And that’s the winning mindset." Reese won a national championship at LSU in 2023 and was named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player. Famously, she taunted Iowa star Caitlin Clark as the clock wound down on her team's victory. Reese combined for 51 points and 28 rebounds in Atlanta’s victories in Games 2 and 3, helping the team build a 2-1 series lead. Before Game 4, she spoke about getting into Golden State’s head. "They’re playing into my mental game where I can take their confidence and just try to do whatever to mess them up," Reese said. USA SPORTS, NBC CLAIM RECORD WNBA FINALS RATINGS, BUT COMPARISONS LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT CONTEXT Atlanta lost three of the next four games. Over that stretch, Reese averaged 9.5 points while shooting 12 for 45 (26.7%) and committing 19 turnovers. She continued to rebound, averaging 12.5 per game, but her scoring dropped sharply from the two victories that put Atlanta ahead. The Dream forced Game 7 behind Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard’s combined 44 points in Thursday’s 80-69 win. In the deciding game, Atlanta led by nine midway through the third quarter before Williams took over. Reese’s last field goal came with 2:12 remaining in the third. Her only point in the fourth came at the foul line with 18.6 seconds left. Following the loss, she spoke about how much she had wanted to win for her teammates and Atlanta’s supporters. "I love these girls. I love the coaches," Reese said. "I think it also sucks because our fan base back home poured into us so much this year, and we really wanted to do it for them, but we’re forever grateful." She also expressed enthusiasm about another offseason working with Dream coach Karl Smesko. "When individually you get better in the offseason, you get better collectively," Reese said, and then added that she was "looking forward to another year under Karl and his development and his system." "Just because we didn’t win today doesn’t mean that we won’t be champions in the future," she said.

The actress, who famously patrolled the beaches of Southern California in the hit '90s series, has raked in nearly $300,000 in just three months on OnlyFans — putting her on pace to make roughly $1 million during her first year on the subscription platform, TMZ reported. Eleniak played lifeguard Shauni McClain on "Baywatch" from 1989 to 1992, becoming one of the show's original stars. ‘AMERICAN PIE’ ALUM SHANNON ELIZABETH TURNS TO ONLYFANS FOR ‘FRESH START’ AS DIVORCE UNFOLDS "When I first thought about joining OnlyFans, I honestly believed I was going to hate it," Eleniak told Fox News Digital. "But I have to tell you, I absolutely love it. It has given me this incredible opportunity to reconnect with so many wonderful people who have followed my career since the 1980s, from 'E.T.' to 'Baywatch,' my Playboy days, 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' and everything in between." "I never imagined that joining OnlyFans would have such an emotional impact on me," she admitted. "For the first time in my life, I genuinely feel loved, appreciated and empowered in a way I never have before. It's an extraordinary feeling, and I honestly can't believe how much happiness it's brought into my life." "I'm embracing this new chapter with open arms, and I feel more confident, more connected and more excited about the future than I have in years," Eleniak added. According to TMZ, Eleniak is making "far more" than the $10,000 per week she was reportedly earning shortly after launching her profile in August. The outlet previously reported that Eleniak had more than 1,100 subscribers. "What has touched me the most is realizing just how many people have stayed with me throughout all these years," Eleniak told Fox News Digital. "Some have been there since the very beginning, and now we're reconnecting in such a personal and meaningful way. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to every single one of them. They're the reason I've had the career I've had, and they've given me so much love and support throughout my life." OnlyFans allows creators, including celebrities, athletes and sex workers, to charge subscribers directly for content. The platform has attracted hundreds of millions of users and generated billions of dollars in annual transactions, according to company financial figures. Eleniak said she initially joined OnlyFans because she thought it would be a fun way to connect with fans. She previously told Fox News Digital that she sometimes felt insecure while filming "Baywatch" in a swimsuit, but said she now feels more comfortable in her own skin. "Well, that didn't change," she said. "When you're working in a costume that's basically a bathing suit, and you're running and doing action and all kinds of things, it's not the most comfortable uniform on the planet. So I don't think that would change for me today. But I am 57 years old. I am comfortable in my body and in my skin. I love where I'm at right now. So I suppose that's changed." Eleniak describes her content as "personal, playful and unfiltered." She also isn't afraid to dip her toes into some unusual requests.

"Usually, when you get a request for something with feet, it can be a little funny. It can be a little odd, but to each their own. But I really was surprised feet was very popular." Eleniak said she has faced little backlash since joining OnlyFans. "I've been pleasantly surprised," she explained. "I've had a really warm welcome, and a lot of cheering on from people just saying, 'Go get it, have fun.' And there's always going to be naysayers. Whether it's OnlyFans or some other job I've done, there's always somebody who wants to say something mean. You know, trolls. I just ignore it, honestly." "I think the stigma around joining OnlyFans has changed," she said. "It's continuing to evolve. It's sort of like a modern-day fan club where you get to be directly with your fans. The content is right there. And especially as women in the entertainment industry, you want to have control over your own image. It's so important. It made total sense for me to join. And I think it's timely for people who want to take control of their own created image and content online." Eleniak said she's comfortable embracing her sexy side while maintaining control over the content she shares. "To me, sexy means being confident in your skin, being confident in who you are, as opposed to just the aesthetics of what you look like," she said. "I think sexiness comes from inside and feeling good in your skin. Back in 'Baywatch,' I was so young, and you're just figuring things out in your 20s. But now that I'm in my 50s, I feel like I've got it figured out. I feel sexy and confident in ways that make me feel empowered. I'm having fun and calling the shots." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

As Eleniak continues to find success on OnlyFans, she's hoping to make a splash on "Baywatch" once again — decades after hanging up her iconic red swimsuit. She is set to reprise the role in a guest appearance on Fox's upcoming "Baywatch" reboot, which is scheduled to premiere Jan. 6, 2027. "I am very excited to be a part of the reboot," she said. "I think it's going to be amazing. I'm definitely hoping they will get picked up for another season and bring me back for a more regular role. I would love that. Looking back, the show was just magic. It was an escape for everybody, no matter where you lived in the world. It's still magic." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE For Eleniak, a "Baywatch" comeback would be more than a nostalgic return to the beach — it would mark another opportunity to embrace life on her own terms. "I’m back, and this time, I’m doing it for me," she said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7564d726b22deeb694724 Trump's DOJ makeover hasn't changed where the political cash is flowing — and the gap is growing te 2026-11-01T15:10:05.992Z Trump's DOJ makeover hasn't changed where the political cash is flowing — and the gap is growing The Trump administration has sought to eliminate what it alleges is partisan bias within the Justice Department, but the vast majority of political donations from individuals identifying themselves as DOJ employees are still going to Democratic-aligned committees, according to a Fox News Digital analysis of federal campaign finance records. Between January 2025 and August of this year, just over 75% of campaign contributions from individuals identifying themselves as Department of Justice employees went to Democratic committees, the analysis of federal campaign finance records found. Fox News Digital analyzed roughly $300,000 in political contributions recorded by the Federal Election Commission between January 2025 and August 2026 from donors who listed their employer as "Department of Justice," "DOJ" or a variation of those names. Contributions were categorized by the political affiliation of the recipient candidate or committee, while independent-expenditure committees were classified according to the candidates or parties they supported. When exporting data from the Federal Election Commission's dashboard, an option to include donations from "unique individuals only" was selected to filter out duplicative records. As the Trump administration has progressed, the partisan slant of DOJ donations has become more pronounced. Through 2025, about 70% of donations from those identifying themselves as DOJ staff went to Democratic committees, a figure that rose to just under 90% in 2026, according to Fox News Digital's findings. TODD BLANCHE EXPOSES HOW AGGRESSIVE BIDEN DOJ TARGETED LOW-LEVEL MAR-A-LAGO EMPLOYEES Attorney General Todd Blanche and his predecessor, Pam Bondi, both claimed that the Trump administration inherited a deeply corrupt DOJ, pointing to allegations that the agency was inundated with political bias under President Joe Biden's tenure. "There are a lot of people in the FBI and also in the Department of Justice who despise Donald Trump, despise us," Bondi said in early 2025. "Right now, we’re going to root them out; we will find them, and they will no longer be employed." Critics have pushed back against claims of political weaponization during the Biden administration, arguing that high-profile investigations into President Donald Trump and other conservatives originated from legitimate legal concerns. DOJ DANGLES MASSIVE SIGNING BONUSES FOR LAWYERS READY TO FIGHT ‘LAWLESS’ CITIES FAR BEYOND DC Both of Trump’s attorneys general under his second administration have made strides to recruit a greater number of ideologically aligned lawyers while attempting to push those out who may not be willing to advance the administration’s interests. In early February 2026, DOJ chief of staff Chad Mizelle publicly encouraged lawyers who "support President Trump" to contact him about becoming federal prosecutors. Stephen Miller amplified the appeal on social media with the caption "patriots needed," and sitting U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones reposted the appeal alongside the phrase "we are hiring!" Mizelle later defended the approach as ensuring that executive-branch lawyers were in line with the elected president’s agenda. LEGAL WAR ON TRUMP’S AGENDA GAINS FIREPOWER AS FEDERAL LAWYERS DEFECT TO DEMOCRATS The administration's personnel overhaul has coincided with a substantial exodus of attorneys from federal service. Over 10,000 attorneys have left federal service since Trump took office for a second term. Fox News Digital reported in July that well over 100 federal attorneys had left the Trump administration for roles in Democratic-run state attorneys general offices. Many of these lawyers took decades of experience with them, prompting concerns that the Trump administration could be depriving itself of the ability to handle highly technical legal matters. Some of these seasoned former federal lawyers have since joined legal action against the Trump administration. While a significant number of government lawyers have left federal service under Trump, and some prominent conservatives have joined the administration, campaign finance records show that Democratic committees continue to receive the overwhelming majority of political contributions from donors identifying themselves as Justice Department employees. Among the most common recipients of donations from those identifying themselves as DOJ employees were Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Georgia, and Emily’s List, a pro-abortion group associated with the Democratic Party. Some conservative committees, such as those in Trump’s network of PACs, were also common targets for Justice Department donors. DEMOCRAT POLITICOS RERUN UNDERHANDED LEFTIST PLAYBOOK IN EFFORT TO TORPEDO TRUMP’S AG NOMINEE Much of the DOJ's work concerns investigations and prosecutions unrelated to partisan politics, and the campaign finance records do not establish whether employees' political preferences have influenced the department's day-to-day operations. Progressive critics, to the contrary, have alleged that the Trump administration is using the Justice Department to target its political enemies. "Those who were fired from the Department were fired for a reason. Those who resigned or took the fork in the road option likely aligned more with the priorities of President Biden and would naturally leave, which is common during transitions," a DOJ spokeswoman previously told Fox News Digital. "The Administration gave career employees the fork in the road option to intentionally reduce the size of the government and eliminate unnecessary layers of staff who don’t effectively contribute to the mission of aggressively tackling crime." The DOJ did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Monday. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7564d726b22deeb69471b Why people really stopped having kids: New study uncovers the surprising reasons families are shrinking te 2026-11-01T15:10:05.024Z Why people really stopped having kids: New study uncovers the surprising reasons families are shrinking High housing costs and unequal chore loads may not fully explain the drop in birth rates around the world, according to a new report from the Institute for Family Studies and the Wheatley Institute. The survey of nearly 10,000 respondents across more than a dozen countries points to culture, finding that peer pressure, anxiety about the future and the rise of "pet parenting" strongly influence whether couples choose to start or grow a family. "Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn have six kids each. Their hipster neighbors have 1.6 kids each," Lyman Stone, senior fellow and director of the Pronatalism Initiative at the Institute for Family Studies, told Fox News Digital. "They live in the same economy. They have very different outcomes. Why? Different culture." AGE OF FIRST-TIME MOTHERS HITS RECORD HIGH IN BLUE STATES AS BIRTH RATES KEEP FALLING The report also tested whether sharing chores affects fertility intentions, finding no statistically significant relationship between family planning and either the division of household responsibilities or perceptions of fairness. "There's been a lot of research on, you know, 'If men did more laundry, would birth rates go up? If men helped out more at home, would birth rates go up?' And the answer is basically no," Stone said. ALEX BERENSON: GENTLE PARENTING CAN'T REPLACE THE STRENGTH OF A GOOD DAD "The last 30 years have seen a revolution in involved fatherhood. Dads are doing more at home than ever before and fertility rates keep plummeting," he added to Fox News Digital. One of the strongest associations researchers identified was between fertility intentions and having a supportive circle of friends. Believing that one's friends would celebrate a new baby was linked to a 10% increase in desired family size and a 20% higher likelihood of intending to have another child. TRADITIONAL TWO-PARENT FAMILIES VANISH FROM BIG AMERICAN CITIES AS 'MARRIAGE DESERTS' EXPAND "All around the world, we just found that friends are really important," Stone said. "Where peer culture ratifies and encourages family life, family life is more successful." The association extended beyond friends to admired public figures. Respondents who admired a celebrity with more children than they had were 14% more likely to intend to have another child. DRIVEN BY PROGRESSIVE DOOMISM, LIBERALS ARE HAVING FEWER BABIES THAN CONSERVATIVE FAMILIES Researchers also identified a connection between attitudes toward pets and decisions about having children. Respondents who expressed a preference for being a "pet parent" rather than having children reported a 30% lower desired family size and showed a 50% drop in intentions to have more children. "The animal is not the problem. The problem is the attitude," Stone said. "That says that, you know, changing a litter box is truly as meaningful as changing a diaper. And I just have to tell you, it isn't." AMERICA’S BABY BUST MAY BE LINKED TO THE IPHONE, STUDY SAYS Researchers found that risk aversion, anxiety about the future and general pessimism were also associated with smaller desired families. Respondents who were more comfortable taking risks and optimistic about their futures tended to desire and have more children. "Some decline in fertility may just be because there's bad vibes," Stone said to Fox News Digital. "There's just the internet constantly telling you that everything is bad, everything's getting worse and there’s a million things to be worried about and you shouldn't take any risks." "I hate to tell you, but yeah, having children has a possibility of hurting you, both physically, financially and emotionally, in the long run, you know, a child who grows up to reject you is a very painful thing. So yes, there is risk with having kids. But there is also great reward," he added. Encouragement from parents was another significant factor associated with fertility intentions. According to the study, "Parental encouragement to have children is associated with an 11% increase in desired number of children and a 30% increase in the likelihood of intending to have another one." Encouraging childless, cohabiting adult children to marry was also associated with a 14% higher likelihood of intending to have a child. FAMILY BREAKDOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA PROMPTS FAITH-BASED EFFORT TO BRING MARRIAGE BACK But Stone cautioned that guilt-tripping adult children into having kids may be ineffective. Instead, he suggested parents share the joy they experienced raising children and offer practical support. "If you're a parent and you want grandbabies from your adult children, you probably won't get very far telling them that they owe you grandbabies," Stone said. "But you may get somewhere telling them stories of how much you enjoyed raising them and how much fun you think you're going to have helping them raise their children." NEW STUDY REVEALS THE SINGLE MOST CRITICAL FACTOR IN WHETHER CHILDREN KEEP THEIR FAITH INTO ADULTHOOD Religion was another factor linked to larger families. Respondents with the highest levels of religious devotion had 9% more children and were 12% more likely to intend to have another child. But researchers found no statistically significant relationship between hearing clergy speak about family and family size. Instead, the findings suggest religious communities may be associated with fertility intentions through friendships and networks of practical support, including help with meals and celebrating the arrival of a new baby. "Where religion really does matter is it shapes the friendships people have. Religious people were overwhelmingly more likely to have friends who would be supportive of them having kids," Stone said. "So, it seems that what's going on is religious communities are religious communities. They are places where people form friendships that create bonds of mutual support that exist almost secondary to the doctrines and theology of the organization. And first and foremost are about mutual investment in one another," he added. For Stone, the findings suggest that efforts to encourage family formation do not depend solely on government policies or financial incentives. Friends, relatives and neighbors can also play a role by creating communities where raising children is supported and encouraged. "You matter to the people around you and you have influence on them," Stone said. "You don't have to wait for the government to pass a law to make a difference for family formation. Regular people can influence this just by being good friends, good neighbors, good parents, good leaders and good members of the community, and telling young families: 'We're here for you, we support you, we think this is a good and admirable thing to do.'"

They found 45 ancient Roman silver coins, including two believed to be counterfeits. The discovery was announced by the Swedish Armed Forces earlier this fall. The coins were unearthed during archaeological excavations ahead of an expansion of Sweden's Gotland Regiment military base, according to officials. MYSTERIOUS FIND BENEATH FIELD LEADS MAN TO MASSIVE TREASURE HIDDEN FOR CENTURIES "During one of the excavations, an unusual find was made — a silver treasure with Roman coins from the second century A.D.," the Swedish Armed Forces said in a translated statement. The discovery came as archaeologists were wrapping up an excavation of a farmhouse foundation dating to the Migration Period, which spanned roughly the fifth and sixth centuries A.D. The archaeologists were making "one final sweep with the metal detector" before the discovery, according to officials. "Then an insistent beeping indicated that something was in the ground near one of the foundation stones," the statement said.  "They carefully dug a small silver coin out of the soil — and more finds would follow." RARE COIN BEARING FACE OF KING WITH INFAMOUS NICKNAME UNEARTHED AFTER 1,000 YEARS When archaeologists brushed off the coin, they discovered a stamped portrait of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, who ruled from 138 to 161 A.D. "The metal detector's persistent beeping indicated that more objects were hidden near the same foundation stone," officials said. "Before the workday was over, archaeologists had counted 45 coins and a gold finger ring. All the coins are Roman, minted during the second century for five emperors and four empresses." The coins were identified by Lennart Lind, a Swedish expert on Roman coins. ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER SPRAWLING ROMAN ESTATE BURIED FOR CENTURIES BENEATH FARMLAND The coins feature five Roman emperors — Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius and Commodus — as well as four empresses: Vibia Sabina, Faustina I, Faustina II and Lucilla, according to officials. Experts believe the coins arrived on Gotland during the fourth century and were used in trade for generations before being buried alongside the gold ring around 450 A.D. Two of the coins, however, were ancient counterfeits that may have originated in what is now Ukraine, according to archaeologists. Elsewhere on the military grounds, archaeologists found nine graves believed to be around 2,000 years old, including one containing nearly 10 pounds of burned human bones, according to the release. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER The remains belonged to at least two individuals, including an adult man, officials said. Archaeologists also discovered bronze fittings believed to have been attached to a sword suspension and a shield. The coins may have been buried as part of a sacrifice, said Per Widerström, an archaeologist at Gotland Museum. Widerström told Fox News Digital the silver coins were largely what archaeologists would expect to uncover at such a site, but the gold ring was unusual. Widerström also said newly received radiocarbon dating results indicated activity at the settlement from the fourth through sixth centuries, consistent with archaeologists' expectations. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS "Perhaps it was abandoned around 540 when there was a low in human history in this part of the world because of natural disasters from 536 A.D. and on for 10 years," Widerström said. "Maybe that is the reason behind them leaving the farm." The bigger surprise, he said, was the number of buildings identified at the site — six in total, apparently belonging to two neighboring farms. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "It looks like it was slowly abandoned, and some of the people might even have come back to this place to get more things back to a new settlement," he said. The Roman coin hoard is the latest in a series of ancient discoveries in Sweden. Earlier this year, Swedish archaeologists discovered two rare Bronze Age neck rings believed to be more than 2,500 years old buried inside an ancient grave monument. Last winter, Swedish officials announced the discovery of an exceptionally well-preserved, 5,000-year-old dog skeleton buried alongside a bone dagger near Stockholm.

Kandice Gunter, 30, was last seen Thursday morning in Natrona County, according to the Casper Police Department. Her sister, Kayla Gunter, told Cowboy State Daily she reported her missing after Kandice did not collect her children, ages 9 and 6, from the Boys & Girls Club on Wednesday. "That's why I started freaking out," Kayla told the paper. "It's totally out of character for her not to show up to get her kids." FAMILY OF CRITICALLY MISSING DC MOTHER SAYS POLICE STILL TREATING HOME AS ACTIVE CRIME SCENE Police said Gunter was last known to be traveling in a gray 2016 GMC Canyon pickup with a Wyoming temporary registration. Her cellphone was last located around 12:30 p.m. MT on Friday along Highway 387, near the Natrona County line. The sisters last spoke by phone at 10:41 a.m. local time Wednesday. Kayla said the conversation gave no indication anything was wrong, and Gunter stopped answering calls afterward. The family was also told her phone pinged near Gillette around noon Wednesday, according to the report. Gunter had reportedly moved from Nevada to Casper about a month earlier to be closer to her children. She had been staying with their father and helping care for them.

She had also written in June about "focusing on a better me. Again," alongside a heart-mending emoji. Kayla said the move appeared to be going well and her sister had not indicated she planned to leave or cut off contact. The sisters typically spoke by phone at least three times a day. Gunter was last seen in person on the morning of Oct. 29 in Natrona County and was reported missing to police later that evening, the Casper Police Department said. She was last known to be traveling in a gray 2016 GMC Canyon pickup with Wyoming temporary registration. Her cellphone was last located along Highway 387, near the Natrona County line, around 12:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30. Gunter is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 185 pounds, with black hair and blue eyes. She has a butterfly tattoo on her neck.

But on Saturday morning in Tennessee, the roles were reversed, as the longtime outdoorsman found himself a little starstruck by some of the biggest names in professional bass fishing. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS Adkins performed the national anthem before the championship round of World Bass Enterprises' inaugural The Champions tournament on Old Hickory Lake, where 15 of the world's top professional bass anglers were competing for a record $1.25 million first-place prize. And while the country star was impressed by the talent on the water, he told OutKick OutDoors that he particularly appreciated the sport's willingness to embrace faith and patriotism. "I'm just thrilled to be here today. Some of the finest anglers on the planet," Adkins said in an exclusive interview. "And, you know, growing up fishing, it's like these guys are rock stars, you know? And to get to shake hands with some of them. "I like that they're not afraid of God or patriotism. They're going to pray and have the national anthem before they fish." For Adkins, who grew up in Louisiana and has long been an avid outdoorsman, fishing is much more than a passing hobby. In fact, he's been celebrating the sport for years. His 2011 hit "Just Fishin'" tells the story of a father taking his young daughter fishing, capturing the idea that time spent together outdoors is about much more than what's on the end of the line. That same year, Adkins opened the lake on his Middle Tennessee property to a group from Big Brothers Big Sisters, giving children and their mentors an opportunity to enjoy a day of fishing and other outdoor activities. And in a 2017 interview with Fox News, the singer joked that he'd found a way to make his fishing trips considerably more productive. "I don't go on fishing trips anymore," he said at the time. "I stocked my own hole full of fish so I don't fish, I just catch." ANDY HOUSER OPENS UP ABOUT HIS LIFELONG LOVE OF FISHING AND UNFORGETTABLE TRIP WITH NAVY SEALS But even with his own stocked fishing hole, Adkins still appreciates the professionals who have helped turn bass fishing into a major spectator sport. "Oh yeah, I grew up, there was Roland Martin and Bill Dance on television," Adkins said. "You know, they were the only two. When you look at it now, I mean, what it's become, it's just exciting." And the scale of this weekend's event illustrated just how far the sport has come. The Champions brought together top competitors from the Bassmaster Elite Series and Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour for a three-day competition featuring a $3.25 million total purse — the largest in professional bass fishing history. The tournament concluded Saturday with Matt Robertson claiming the $1.25 million grand prize, capping off a historic weekend for professional bass fishing. The event also featured a team competition between the two circuits, with Bassmaster's Team Stars winning The Champions Cup on Friday before the remaining 15 anglers advanced to Saturday's individual championship. For Adkins, who has enjoyed fishing since childhood, being part of that moment meant getting to celebrate both the sport and the traditions he values.

It is the standard by which I judge its leadership, spending, policies, and governing board. I began paying closer attention during the Sun Valley Elementary/Ricky Ordway situation. I wanted to understand why the community was not receiving a clear public accounting at governing board meetings. Allegations involving Liberty High School wrestling deepened my concerns. The events at Centennial convinced me to become more involved. Since then, I have examined hundreds of documents, including records obtained through public records requests, police reports, court documents, news reports, and media releases. I have spoken with parents, advocates, journalists, and people with firsthand knowledge of district operations. Throughout that work, I seek to distinguish documented findings from allegations and unanswered questions. What I have learned has strengthened my conviction that Peoria Unified needs sustained, independent scrutiny. Families deserve to understand how concerns are reported, how investigations are handled, and what changes follow when students are harmed. Voters deserve the same clarity about the people asking to govern their schools. Leadership Decisions Deserve Public Examination Board Member Melissa Ewing’s votes, public statements, and interviews are legitimate subjects for voters to examine. The same standard applies to every board member. In April 2023, Ewing opposed directing administration to draft a student bathroom/locker room policy. In March 2025, Ewing was the sole opposing vote on the student’s privacy and anti-discrimination policies. In November 2025, Ewing was the sole opposing vote on the revised anti-DEI policy. The decisions surrounding Centennial deserve particular attention. Heather Rooks and Janelle Bowles sought an independent third-party investigation. How did district leadership and the board respond? What independent examination, if any, followed? What findings and corrective actions can be shared with families? The circumstances surrounding Rooks’s removal as board president also deserve a clear explanation, including the roles of then-superintendent KC Somers and board members Jeff Tobey, Becky Proudfit, and Melissa Ewing. The sequence warrants examination, while timing alone cannot establish anyone’s motive. Tahlya Visintainer’s appointment as interim superintendent raises questions about the board’s selection standards. What qualifications did members consider? How did they assess her preparation to lead a district facing serious student safety concerns? Her human resources background makes questions about employee oversight, investigations, and administrative leave especially relevant. The district should explain how many employees have been placed on paid administrative leave in connection with student safety concerns, how long those cases remained open, and what they cost, while protecting confidential information. Administrative leave does not establish guilt, but the public deserves to understand how the process works. Darian Schoolcraft’s appointment as Centennial principal also deserves an explanation. My review raises questions about references to him in police records, whether administrative leave was considered, and how his appointment was evaluated. Being named in a police report does not, itself, establish wrongdoing. The question is whether the district applied consistent standards at Centennial, Liberty, and Peoria High—and can explain those standards publicly. Students and Parents Must Be Able to Speak Safely Policies have value when people understand them, follow them, and can show that they work. Families deserve to know who receives a report of suspected abuse, when outside authorities are contacted, and how the district determines whether reporting procedures were followed. Students need a safe way to raise concerns about an adult without fearing consequences for their grades, activities, or relationships at school. Parents have raised concerns about retaliation against their children. Those concerns deserve a serious response. The accounts involving Timothy Seaman also raise questions about whether students felt safe reporting alleged inappropriate touching. The district should explain how it identifies barriers to reporting and protects students who come forward. The same expectation of respectful discussion applies to policy disagreements. I believe girls deserve privacy in restrooms, locker rooms, and showers. I also believe every student—including LGBTQ+ students—deserves protection from harassment, abuse, and humiliation. District leaders must address those needs through clear policies and practical safeguards. Parents should be able to question those policies without having their concerns reduced to slogans or assumptions about their motives. Board members should explain their votes and how they expect the policies they support to protect students. The Secular AZ Interview Deserves an Accurate Reading This video excerpt featuring Ewing and Jeanne Casteen of Secular AZ deserves careful examination. Casteen expresses concern about “the growing threat of white Christian nationalism in our state and country.” She then introduces Ewing, who thanks her for the invitation. The excerpt does not show Ewing calling white Christians a threat, but Casteen refers to white Christian nationalism, and shortening that phrase changes its meaning. Voters can still reasonably ask Ewing to explain the views she expressed during the full interview. How does she define Christian nationalism? How does she distinguish it from Christians expressing their convictions, seeking office, or participating in school governance? As a Christian and an ordained minister, I want those distinctions made clearly. My faith shapes my commitment to children, truth, and public service. Families of every faith—and families with no religious affiliation—deserve fair treatment and a voice in their public schools. Ewing should explain her position. Voters should examine the complete interview and judge her words for themselves. Curriculum and Programs Require Meaningful Oversight Parents should be able to inspect the lessons their children receive and understand what the governing board approved. Earlier concerns in PUSD involved EVERFI’s online materials addressing identity, bias, power, privilege, and oppression. I am seeking the complete approval record for a computer-based program considered in 2023, including the specific program, exact motion, and Ewing’s recorded vote. Those records are necessary to establish precisely what was approved. Online programs raise ongoing oversight questions. What student information do they collect? Can lessons change after approval? Who reviews those changes? How can parents inspect the content their children actually encounter? Programs such as Bloom365 deserve the same examination. How many students did the program reach? What measurable benefits did it provide? What safeguards and reporting procedures governed its work? What did it cost? These are basic questions about educational services, student protection, and public spending. Financial Accountability Belongs in the Discussion Patrick Mannion’s recent post raises a serious concern: Has Peoria Unified adequately explained the human and financial consequences of the failures families have brought forward? I share his concern about public trust. Parents should not have to become investigators to understand whether their children are protected. Victims should not have to struggle to be heard. Taxpayers should be able to understand the district’s financial exposure without assembling scattered records themselves. Mannion cites a $10 million insurance limit per incident. The district should explain what that figure means: which coverage applies, what exclusions or aggregate limits affect it, when excess insurance or reinsurance becomes available, and how obligations beyond available coverage would be paid. A stated limit does not, by itself, establish that coverage has been exhausted or that every claim is covered. That is why a complete explanation matters. I filed a public records request concerning the Trust and reinsurance procedures. Three months later, I still have not received the requested information. Peoria Unified should provide an understandable accounting of legal expenses, insurance protections, and potential district obligations to the extent those details can be disclosed. Protecting students’ identities and confidential information should remain part of that process. Accountability Continues After the Election I continue to support an independent forensic audit to examine spending and financial controls. A clearly defined examination, with findings made public to the extent permitted, could help rebuild community confidence. The governing board must demand answers, examine leadership’s decisions, and support independent scrutiny when warranted. Administrators should explain the decisions and events that have unfolded in the boardroom since May 2026. Candidates should be prepared to say what they will do about the questions that remain. An election determines who holds office. The work of protecting children, producing records, and demonstrating that corrective measures are effective continues after the ballots are counted. My purpose is to help ensure that children are protected and that families can trust the institutions responsible for them. That requires accurate statements, accessible records, consistent standards, and leadership willing to answer difficult questions. Student safety is the plumb line. Every vote, expenditure, and leadership decision should be measured against it. Truth withstands scrutiny. Peoria Unified’s leadership should, too. Laura Campbell is a longtime Peoria resident, mother of four, grandmother, retired business owner, and ordained minister since 1992. She became president of Raspberry Cottage Inc., a nonprofit serving women and children, in 2017. Her decades of ministry and community service inform her advocacy for student safety, mandatory reporting, transparency, and accountability in Peoria Unified School District. She examines public records, police reports, court documents, and news coverage to ask informed questions and seek answers for families. Her guiding convictions are simple: “Student safety is the plumb line” and “Truth withstands scrutiny.” The post LAURA CAMPBELL: Truth Withstands Scrutiny — Peoria Unified Owes Families Answers first appeared on AZ FREE NEWS.

After spending more than a decade considering a venture in the beauty or fashion industry, the wife of country superstar Jason Aldean launched VADA, a fragrance brand inspired by someone close to her heart. "My inspiration behind VADA itself, the name and everything was my grandmother," she told Fox News Digital. "Louvada was her name, so I used a beautiful abbreviation for the name. And she was just all things beauty. And I feel like that's where I got everything from." BRITTANY ALDEAN WOWS IN VACATION STYLE DURING BAHAMAS GETAWAY WITH JASON ALDEAN Brittany explained that her grandmother placed great importance on how a person presented themselves, something she carried into adulthood. Although she always envisioned starting a business in the fashion or beauty industry, it took years before she settled on fragrance. BRITTANY ALDEAN REVEALS FAMILY INSPIRATION BEHIND NEW FRAGRANCE BRAND VADA "And so, after about over a decade of thinking about it, I landed on personal fragrance," she said. Turning that idea into a business, however, proved more demanding than she anticipated. "I think the personal investment in launching a business is massive," Brittany said. "I didn't really realize, and now it's really just the time frame of everything and how long things take if you really are passionate about something and a perfectionist like I am." She spent more than two and a half years developing the brand before bringing her products to market. COUNTRY SINGER LAUREN ALAINA CREDITS SMALL-TOWN GEORGIA ROOTS FOR STRONG WORK ETHIC, FAITH Brittany admitted that entering the fragrance industry was initially intimidating, particularly as she learned the technical side of developing scents. "We've visited the labs where they make all the scents and everything, and I just feel like it's been such a learning experience," she said. BRITTANY ALDEAN GETS CANDID ABOUT BALANCING MARRIAGE, MOTHERHOOD AND BUSINESS The personal connection to her grandmother extends beyond the company's name. Brittany revealed that her signature best-selling fragrance, 1924, was named after the year Louvada was born. Jason has also played a supportive role in Brittany's entrepreneurial journey. Brittany revealed that she had turned to her husband for business advice earlier that same day while he was back home in Nashville caring for their children. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE "It's funny, actually this morning I zoomed with him. He's in Nashville taking care of our babies and I just zoomed in with him and was asking him business questions," she told Fox News Digital. She explained that Jason encouraged her ambitions long before VADA became a reality. "From the beginning, he knew that I'm very independent. He knew I wanted to start something. He said, 'It'll come to you one day and when it does, you're gonna rock it,'" Brittany recalled. Brittany also said that finding time for their marriage has become more challenging as their children have gotten older. With school, sports and Jason's touring schedule, she said the couple makes an effort to prioritize date nights and time together. "Spending quality time with each other, which I feel has been a challenge, but we make sure we do it," she said. At home, Brittany said the couple has found a rhythm that works around Jason's demanding touring schedule. While she typically handles the morning routine, Jason helps by taking the children to school. When he's home from touring, Brittany said he enjoys quieter days while she keeps busy with work and the family's animals. "I'm the one that kind of runs around like a crazy person," she joked.

The mother of two said she hopes her children, Memphis, 8, and Navy, 7, take something meaningful away from watching both parents pursue their careers. "I love that they see their mom working hard as well and starting something from the ground up and really putting like the passion behind it and the love for something," she said. Brittany revealed that Navy has already expressed an interest in joining the family business someday. The young girl frequently tells her mother that she wants to work for VADA when she's older, or possibly take over the company herself. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

Brittany is also eager to get a head start on the holidays. She doesn't waste any time getting into the Christmas spirit. She admitted that her family's holiday decorations go up almost as soon as Halloween is over. "I know this is controversial, but the day after Halloween, we are rockin' and rollin', we are puttin' that stuff away, and then by November 2nd, we have Christmas up," Brittany said. "I just wanna enjoy it as much as possible." Brittany explained that Jason's busy touring schedule plays a role in why she likes to get an early start on the holiday season. With the family frequently traveling, she said having the house decorated gives them more time to enjoy Christmas whenever they're home. "So it's special to come home and have it be decorated for Christmas, and get to enjoy it a little longer," she said.

Republicans are defending their slim congressional majorities, but President Donald Trump predicts the GOP will hold the House and Senate. "If you elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate on November 3rd, we will continue to put America first every single day," the president pledged on the campaign trail last week. And he claimed if the Democrats take control, "this country will go to hell." CHECK OUT THE FINAL FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS Republicans are fighting political history, as the party in power in Washington has traditionally lost seats during midterm election years. The GOP also faces a challenging political climate fueled by persistent inflation tied in part to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and Trump's increasingly negative approval ratings. Also up for grabs in this year's midterm elections — governorships in 36 of the 50 states (as well as the territories of Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Plus, all but four states are holding legislative elections. And voters will also weigh in on 145 statewide ballot measures in states from coast to coast. Here's a closer look at what's up for grabs on Election Day 2026. Republicans currently control the chamber 53-47, with the final Fox News Power Rankings ahead of Election Day rating the race for Senate control a toss-up. Both parties are three seats short of a majority, according to the forecast. Democrats are favored in 48 seats and Republicans are ahead in 47. The GOP needs to hold 50 seats to retain control of the chamber, since Republican Vice President JD Vance is the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. WHO'S UP AND DOWN IN THE FINAL FOX NEWS MIDTERM ELECTION POLLS If Democrats ride a blue wave to victory by winning most or all of the competitive races, they could potentially come away from the midterms with up to 54 seats. But if Republicans have a good night and defy expectations, the GOP could hold the majority with up to 52 seats, according to the forecast. Republicans are playing defense in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, South Carolina and Texas, which are all rated toss-ups in the Power Rankings. They're also defending seats in competitive races in Kansas, which is rated Lean Republican, and Ohio, which is rated Lean Democrat. Democrats are on defense in Michigan, which is rated a toss-up, and in Minnesota and New Hampshire, which are listed as Lean Democrat. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The GOP is hanging on to a razor-thin majority in the House, and the Power Rankings point to the Democrats retaking control of the chamber. A good night for the Democrats could see them ending up with as many as 240 seats in the 435-seat chamber. But if Republicans have a good night, they could end up with 212 seats. That’s six short of a majority, but enough to make life difficult for the next Democratic House Speaker, who would have to balance the demands of the moderate and far-left wings of the party. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER The earliest-closing districts on election night will give some sense of the House’s future. "Keep an eye on Kentucky’s 6th district, which covers Lexington and a large central area of the state. Trump won here by 15 points in the last presidential election. Thanks to a combination of left-leaning college voters and farmers grappling with higher costs, it looks close this cycle," Remy Numa, a Fox News contributor who steers the network's Power Rankings, said. There are currently 26 Republican and 24 Democratic governors. The Power Rankings list three states where the GOP controls the governor's office - Alaska, Nevada, and Georgia - as toss-ups. Wisconsin, which has an open-Democratic controlled governor's office, is also rated a toss up. The gubernatorial races in red states Florida, Kansas, and Texas are rated Lean Republican, according to the Power Rankings. DEMOCRACY 2026: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB Four other races are also seen as competitive and rated Lean Democrat. They are Arizona, Michigan, and Oregon, where Democrats are playing defense, and Iowa and Ohio, where the GOP is defending open governor's offices. Referendums requiring voters to present identification when they show up the polls, or bans on noncitizen voting, are on the ballot in 11 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota and West Virginia. Voters in Alaska will also decide if they want to repeal the state’s ranked choice voting system, open primaries and a campaign finance disclosure rule. Voters approve the current system in 2020 and narrowly kept it in 2024. But the voting system has come under fresh scrutiny amid the controversy over a potential spoiler candidate in Alaska's U.S. Senate race. Voters in Virginia will decide whether the right to vote should be restored to convicted felons upon their release. California's Proposition 40 is making national headlines. The measure, the first of its kind, would slap a one-time 5% tax on wealth for Californians worth over $1 billion, with the vast majority of the revenue generated going to pay for healthcare. Also in the spotlight is millionaires tax in Washington State. If passed, the referendum would repeal a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million a year, which state lawmakers recently approved. Washington State currently does not have a personal income tax. Voters in Maryland, Missouri, and Colorado weigh in on ballot measures on congressional redistricting, as the mid-decade redistricting fight between Democrats and Republicans will be waged again in 2028. Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, and Washington State have referendums on transgender students’ participation in sports. Colorado also has a referendum on blocking gender transition surgeries for minors and preventing state or federal funding from being used for those operations. Voters in Missouri weigh in on repealing a right to abortion and banning gender transition medical care for children. Meanwhile, and Idaho initiative would overturn one of the nation's strictest abortion bans, while Virginia and Nevada voters decide on establishing a right to abortion in their state constitutions. California, Colorado, and Arizona hold ballot measures on policy around energy, transportation and development.  The first poll closings come at 6pm ET on Election Day, with the final poll closings happening at 1am ET. 6pm ET: Polls close in parts of Kentucky and Indiana. 7pm ET: Polls close in Georgia, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia.

Three decades, nine seasons and 69 Emmy nominations later, the classic sitcom has stood the test of time and remains a comfort show for generations of viewers. Now, as star Ray Romano and his longtime manager, Rory Rosegarten — an executive producer on the show — prepare for induction into the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame, the show's stars and creative team are reflecting on the real-life experiences that helped make it a lasting success. ‘FAMILY AFFAIR’ STAR KATHY GARVER SAYS FAILED REMAKE ‘SUCKED,’ REVEALS WHAT WENT WRONG Speaking with Fox News Digital, Patricia Heaton said "Everybody Loves Raymond" reflected her own experiences with marriage and motherhood, making it more than just another Hollywood sitcom pilot. "It wasn’t an overnight success; it was a humble family comedy that, over the years, has resonated worldwide," Heaton said. "It wasn’t flashy, just incredibly funny and relatable. I found it mirrored my own personal life with my marriage and kids, which is how you know it was going to be relatable to a huge audience." Heaton said the cast, including Romano, Brad Garrett, Doris Roberts, Peter Boyle, was "perfectly suited to their characters" and that each year the scripts got "funnier and funnier." She recalled table reads as some of her favorite days of the week. "All those episodes continue to reflect the joys and struggles of families all around the world, from generation to generation," Heaton said. "It was a joy to perform, a joy to watch, and a joy to know that we brought a little bit of happiness to people’s lives." KELSEY GRAMMER ADMITS SURPRISING REASON 'FRASIER' ALMOST NEVER HAPPENED But before the Barone family became a television favorite, the series hinged on a stand-up comic and the manager who discovered him at a New York radio station's comedy competition. Rosegarten, Romano's longtime manager, first encountered the comedian while judging the competition. He was immediately drawn to Romano's grounded, self-deprecating routine about his wife and kids. "When I saw Ray that first time, it was love at first sight," Rosegarten told Fox News Digital. "He was so original, and he was talking about real life, not made-up stuff. Not a piece of hair on a soap, but he was talking about his wife and his kids and his life. I wish I could tell you I knew what would happen to him, would happen. I don’t think anybody could predict that. But I thought he was really funny." Rosegarten said he later used his connections to secure Romano an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman." LORNE MICHAELS’ ‘SNL’ GRIP ON CAST EXPOSED IN NEW DOCUMENTARY "He went on the show, and he killed," Rosegarten recalled. "He killed in such a way that to this day I still use that footage to show people exactly how to do it. Like, that should be the guideline." That appearance helped pave the way for a CBS pilot, though Rosegarten said getting the family sitcom on network television also came down to luck. "We shot a pilot for CBS, and Les Moonves, who then was the president of CBS, literally took the tape home over the weekend," Rosegarten said. "It’s pilot season, and I’m sure he had a million shows to watch. But he watched that one with his family and they liked it." "I lay in bed sometimes, and I think if he had been late that night for a dinner, or he had been fighting with someone in the office, and he didn't take the tape, I might not be talking to you right now," he added. "So there's a little luck involved, too." 'HOME IMPROVEMENT' STAR SAYS PATRICIA RICHARDSON GOT 'TIRED' OF FIGHTING FOR SITCOM "Everybody Loves Raymond" premiered Sept. 13, 1996, and ran for nine seasons before its finale in 2005. The sitcom won 15 Emmy Awards and followed Italian American sportswriter Ray Barone as he navigated marriage, fatherhood and the interference of his parents and brother, who lived across the street on Long Island. Rosegarten credited much of the show's success to its writing, which drew heavily from the real-life experiences of the writing staff and cast. He recalled a rule established by creator and showrunner Phil Rosenthal that discouraged late nights in the writers' room. "We were one of the very few shows where everybody went home at six o’clock," Rosegarten said. "Because Phil’s attitude was: 'Go home, have a fight with your wife, we’ll talk about it tomorrow, and we’ll write about it.' And that was a stroke of genius, actually." That emphasis on everyday family life helped revitalize the traditional sitcom, according to Ron Simon, head curator at the Paley Center for Media. "The importance of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' is that it revitalized the family situation comedy," Simon told Fox News Digital. "It debuted in 1996 and it sort of brought a whole new life to one of the staples of television comedy from the very beginning. 'Everybody Loves Raymond' was able to take a look at all these different frustrations of suburban life in Long Island and really create a cast that anyone watching could identify with." Simon pointed to the show's familiar family dynamics as a key part of its appeal. "They took frustrations that happened in their own lives and then adapted them for the situation comedy, so it was very real," Simon said. "No matter who you were, whether it was domestic squabbles between Ray and Debra, the intrusiveness of the mother and father. And of course, there’s always sibling rivalry between Ray and Robert. So, it just had a great formula." The show's Long Island roots are now being recognized as Romano and Rosegarten prepare to enter the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame. The pair is being honored as the institution's first non-music inductees. "Ray and I are very honored and very thrilled with the induction. And to be the first non-music inductees, I think it's unbelievable," Rosegarten said. "Kiss is in there, and Billy Joel and Clive Davis. It's weird. It's like a who's who. I look at Ray, and Ray looks at me like they must have made a mistake somewhere along the line."

As Americans again participate in the twice-yearly ritual of fiddling with their clocks — this time rolling back an hour on Sunday morning — Congress has fallen short of tackling the issue in time. Earlier this year, the House passed legislation that would allow states to voluntarily observe daylight saving time year-round. But progress on the legislation has ground to a halt in the Senate, even though it’s a popular issue with voters and Trump. BATTLE OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ERUPTS AS PUSH TO STOP CHANGING CLOCKS HITS SENATE WALL But it’s not for lack of trying. Trump has routinely pressured the upper chamber to pass the bill and re-upped that call earlier this week in the midst of traveling across the country to rally in key states and safe red bastions to urge voters to keep Republicans in power. "The United States Senate is letting the daylight saving bill die when a vast Majority of the Country want it," Trump said on Truth Social. "Most people are demanding light in the evening, but ALL want not to change their clocks anymore. TAKE A VOTE!" Trump wants the Senate to pass, or at least take a vote on, the Sunshine Protection Act, but it’s facing heavy headwinds from a broad swathe of lawmakers in the upper chamber on both sides of the aisle. TRUMP FACES REPUBLICAN REBELLION OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AS SENATE BILL NEARS DEAD END His pressure campaign got to the point that he shared the cellphone number of one of his top allies, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., one of the more vocal opponents of the bill, urging supporters to call the lawmaker and demand he work on passing the bill. "No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Saving Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter," Cotton said in response. "Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first." The House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act along bipartisan lines in July. Majorities of Democrats and Republicans voted in favor of the bill, which passed 307 to 117. Just 22 Republicans and 95 Democrats opposed it. But it’s one of several pieces of legislation that House lawmakers complain has fallen by the wayside in the upper chamber. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., pressed the Senate to take up that bill in comments to Fox News Digital back in early October. TIME ENOUGH AT LAST: WHAT'S NEXT AFTER THE HOUSE PASSES BILL TO DO AWAY WITH DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME? Scalise told Fox News Digital, "There's no reason Americans should lose an hour of sunlight at the end of the day when more daylight means more time with our families, more activity for our businesses and safer communities." "President Trump has been pushing to make daylight saving time permanent, and House Republicans delivered by overwhelmingly passing the Sunshine Protection Act. It's a commonsense change and the Senate should take it up," Scalise said. And when the Senate returns after the election, lawmakers will have a densely packed schedule crammed with leftover legislation. With floor time being the top commodity in the upper chamber, squeezing the Sunshine Protection Act onto the floor may be a challenge, even without the resistance it already faces. "The president feels strongly on it like he does a lot of issues," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters earlier this month. "It’s something we’re having conversations about, but there’s no clear path forward or consensus on it yet."

Dr. Vonda Wright, a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon, author and authority on active aging and mobility, who is based in Orlando, Florida, said there are three main problems that can make it difficult for older adults to age in place. Those include difficulty getting up from a chair and caring for themselves, memory problems, and incontinence that makes it hard to manage personal hygiene. FORGET THE GYM: A 30-SECOND TEST MAY BE ONE OF THE BEST INDICATORS OF LONGEVITY "The missing piece in most conversations between mental health, physical health and independence is your skeletal longevity," Wright said. Staying independent with age requires attention to the entire musculoskeletal system, including the muscles, bones and tendons, according to the surgeon. Wright shared the following habits as most important for maintaining independence outside of a nursing home. The human body "craves mobility," Wright said. "When you think about it, it's our first skill. We learn to walk when we're 1," she pointed out. WEEKLY WEIGHTLIFTING SWEET SPOT MAY BE LINKED TO LONGER LIFE, STUDY FINDS For older adults, staying active can help preserve the ability to handle everyday tasks independently. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests low-impact activities such as walking, cycling and water exercise. "Even when your hips hurt, even when your knees hurt, you should move on the ground, or get in a pool in chest-high water," Wright suggested. While the doctor does not recommend exercising through a new injury or severe pain, she pushed back against the belief that rest is the best way to address pain. PEOPLE LIVING PAST 100 IN ONE TINY VILLAGE SHARE 3 DAILY HABITS "Rest doesn't cure anything. When you have, for instance, arthritic knees, do you know what can help? Building the muscles around your knees, building the muscles in your hips to support your knees," she said. "So rest is not the answer for feeling better — staying strong and mobile is." Strength training can help older adults maintain the ability to get out of a chair, climb stairs and carry groceries — everyday tasks that support independent living. There is never an age or skill level when it’s too late to build muscle, according to Wright. FITNESS EXPERT REVEALS 6 THINGS PEOPLE OVER 35 SHOULD DO AFTER WORKOUTS TO STAY STRONG "Even if you feel like you've declined or your parents have declined, there is no age or skill level when we can't become more mobile, when we can't build muscle or reconnect the neuromuscular pathways," she said. It’s even possible to build muscle sitting in a wheelchair, she noted. "Some of the very first research done by Dr. Maria Fiatarone at Tufts University showed that even at 90 years old, you can regain function." In that small 1990 study, nine nursing home residents who completed eight weeks of high-intensity resistance training increased their muscle strength by an average of 174%, and also showed improvements in muscle size and mobility. The National Institute on Aging recommends that older adults perform muscle-strengthening activities at least two days a week, targeting all major muscle groups, with recovery time between sessions. Some options include resistance bands, hand weights and body-weight exercises. Beginners are advised to start gradually and seek guidance from a doctor or physical therapist as needed. Older adults tend to eat less, which can undermine efforts to maintain energy and build muscle, Wright warned.

"And we cannot fuel the muscle we want to build [and] the energy we need without a protein-forward, adequate-calorie diet." Although older adults may require fewer calories, they still need enough nutrients to support their health, according to the National Institute on Aging. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER To help maintain muscle, the agency recommends that older adults consume protein-rich foods throughout the day, including seafood, dairy, fortified soy products, beans and lentils. Specific calorie needs will vary based on each person’s weight and activity level. Wright urged older adults to challenge assumptions about what they can and can’t do as they age. "The most common mistake I see seniors making as they age is assuming that aging is an inevitable decline from vitality to frailty," she said. "They just assume that a certain number of birthday candles predisposes them to sitting on a couch the rest of their life. The reality is that there is no age or skill level when you're done." Wright suggested that people should start working toward future independence during their busy working years. "We need to start thinking about that in our busiest times of life, in our 30s, our 40s, our prime times of working," she said. "It’s part of a long-term, lifetime plan to live where you want to live, with whom you want to live, when you want to live there." The doctor recommends that adults directly ask their aging parents what assistance they need and to explore available support, including community programs. In many cases, she said, parents do not want to be a burden to their adult children, so they never ask for anything. "I think this is a time for really open, frank conversations," Wright said. "What do you want help with? How can I help you? How could we get help for you if possible?" TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ As an example, Wright said her elderly parents live with her family. When she noticed their meals started to suffer while she was traveling, she arranged for support to help them continue managing their lives. "I have half of their meals delivered every week because I'm not going to be home to shop or cook," she said. "They remain independent, but with assistance. And that's what works for us."

On Oct. 26, blaring music pounded as hundreds of shouting bystanders lined the street and nearby properties of the multi-level, brick, frat house on the Morgantown campus. Meanwhile, officers with the campus and local police department, armed with a search warrant tied to hazing allegations, stoically toted out bags and cases of evidence and loaded it into police cars. FOUR FRATERNITY PLEDGES ARRESTED ON HAZING ALLEGATIONS AFTER TEEN FORCED INTO TRUCK: COPS A little more than two weeks earlier on Oct. 9, the university placed the chapter on interim suspension after "anonymous allegations of hazing," a university spokeswoman told Fox News Digital. Search warrants also were served on Oct. 26 at the house for the school’s chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha, according to social media posts from WVU Safety and Wellness. LSU FRAT PLEDGES ALLEGEDLY WATERBOARDED, FORCED TO CHUG MILK IN HAZING RITUALS: REPORT That fraternity, commonly known as PIKE, also is under investigation for allegations of hazing. As of that date, the university’s PIKE organization had not been put on suspension by the university. The two West Virginia University chapters are the latest fraternities under investigation in an influx of Greek life hazing probes across the country. Hazing involves requiring new or potential recruits to the military or college fraternities to perform strenuous, humiliating, or dangerous tasks. FORMER MICHIGAN HOCKEY PLAYERS ALLEGE COACHES IGNORED YEARS OF ABUSIVE HAZING RITUALS The uptick in law enforcement involvement nationwide doesn’t necessarily signal an increase in hazing, said Michael Ayalon, hazing prevention expert and CEO of Greek University. More likely is that there’s increased awareness about hazing, triggered by changes to federal law, Ayalon told Fox News Digital. MIAMI SECRET SERVICE AGENT CHARGED IN NEAR-DEADLY FRATERNITY HAZING, OFFICIALS SAY The Stop Campus Hazing Act passed in December 2024 with bipartisan support in Congress. It requires more transparency in hazing allegations across the country, Ayalon said. "We certainly are seeing increased visibility and scrutiny of hazing on college campuses, particularly as universities face greater expectations for transparency and accountability. DOZENS OF PLEDGES FOUND COVERED IN FOOD IN SWELTERING FRAT BASEMENT AS POLICE INVESTIGATE ALLEGED HAZING "With that transparency and accountability comes greater visibility." But more visibility doesn’t necessarily suggest more hazing is occurring now, he said. ARIZONA LAWMAKERS DEMAND INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION INTO ASU HOCKEY WORKOUT THAT LEFT PLAYER IN COMA Hazing always has been underreported, he said, due to fear of retaliation. Fraternity members should recognize that public perception of fraternity life now is being affected by these investigations, he said. "The positive contributions of thousands of fraternity members can get overshadowed by allegations involving a handful of chapters," Ayalon said. "So every hazing incident makes it harder for the good chapters to go out and recruit more new members, makes it harder for alumni to defend the fraternity experience, and it makes it harder for universities that are working with these organizations." "For students, I think this is a wake-up call." Despite decades of education about the dangers of hazing traditions, national policy changes and tragic deaths, "some chapters continue to believe that hazing is a necessary part of earning membership," he said. It’s based on flawed thinking, he said. Members justify the abuse, he said, by telling themselves, "I had to go through it, so you have to go through it, too." Fraternity chapters promote the idea that hazing builds brotherhood and creates loyalty, he said. SEND US A TIP "But there is a profound difference between working through a meaningful challenge as equals and being humiliated or controlled by people who hold power over you." Historically, hazing methods have followed patterns based on the kind of fraternity of sorority involved, Ayalon said. GOT A TIP? Fraternities that are traditionally white, known as IFC fraternities, are known for forced alcohol consumption, he said. Eighty-two percent of hazing deaths involve forced alcohol consumption. In historically white sororities, hazing typically takes a different form, he said. In Panhellenic organizations, hazing looks like mental abuse—mean-girl behavior that ostracizes new female members. GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL In historically black fraternities and sororities of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) —often called the Divine Nine—abuse may be physical or mental, Ayalon said. And some recent high-profile cases of hazing have involved drugs, he said. "West Virginia University takes seriously the safety and well-being of our students," a spokeswoman for West Virginia University said. "Due to the nature of the investigations, no other details will be released at this time. We will provide updates as they become available."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae745f0726b22deeb694405 Fervor podcast takes deep dive into local music archives te 2026-11-01T14:00:16.637Z Fervor podcast takes deep dive into local music archives The Fervor Records team hosting the new “From the Archives” podcast, launching Nov. 3, include (L-R) Jeff Freundlich, David Hilker and Keagan Stromberg (submitted photo). It began in 1989 built around a simple idea: great music deserves to be heard. A group of musicians wanted to give back to their local community and under the umbrella of the nonprofit Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), Fervor Records produced the label’s first release, “Southwest Holiday.” The multi-genre Christmas compilation was issued on cassette and sold more than 4,000 copies in just six weeks. David Hilker, founder and CEO of Fervor Records took us back to the company’s founding. “I’ve played music my whole life – it’s all I’ve ever done. I played in lots of bands in the 80s and 90s, and there were four of us in the local scene and none of us had record deals,” he laughed. “We were just a bunch of long-haired road musicians, and we said, ‘How does this whole label thing work and what can we do with no money?’ And we thought, why don’t we try to do something positive for the community.” So, they found a charity who would take them seriously and then set out to unite the local musicians around their cause. With that, Fervor Records was born. “Everything was donated,” Hilker recalled, “from office space to cassettes – 100 percent went back to CASS. We donated all of our time just to get things going and get a better idea of how a record label worked. We did another project with St. Mary’s Food Bank in the early 90s and the label has just grown from there.” The label has always been eclectic, Hilker said, they don’t focus on one genre of music. That original release featured everything from the Phoenix Boys Choir to country artist J. David Sloan. As their catalog has grown over the years, they have produced blues compilations and obtained music across broad genres from 1950s Arizona and beyond, “Fervor literally has music from around the world in virtually every genre,” Hilker said. But they stay rooted locally and represent almost 250 Arizona artists. The company works with new artists to record their music at their Sunnyslope studios, and they have a deep catalog of heritage tracks that they have acquired or otherwise represent (you may have heard that music pop up in films and TV shows). “If you get a track in a [popular TV show] that’s going to reach millions of people. Trying to achieve that same amount of exposure with just selling records or spending the money it costs to get on the radio, we found it more effective and lucrative for the artist.” A lot of their archives began with Floyd Ramsey, who owned Audio Recorders of Arizona in the 1950s, “they were responsible for the first gold record that came out of Phoenix in the 50s with Sanford Clark, called ‘The Fool’” Hilker said. “Floyd bequeathed his archives to John Dixon [known to many as Johnny D], and he came to us with that. And we just started acquiring more music from around town. “These weren’t hit songs, but we thought it was great music. And we thought it was relevant and we wanted to get that working for people, rather than sitting in a drawer somewhere.” Now, nearly 40 years later, drawing on their expansive catalog (housed in a bomb shelter at their Sunnyslope studio), and following their ethos of getting that great music heard, the team is launching “From the Archives,” on Nov. 3. The new video podcast invites music fans to hear the stories beyond the crates as the team unearths the master tapes from their archives. The weekly video podcast will be hosted on the Fervor Records YouTube channel where the team will dive into the stories behind these artists. The roughly 45-minute episodes are hosted by Hilker, along with Fervor Records’ COO Jeff Freundlich and produced by Keagan Stromberg, one of the label’s signed artists who has joined the business side of the company. The first season digs deep into Fervor’s archives for the stories behind rare soul recorded from the 1960s through the 1980s in Chicago, Boston, New York City and Shreveport, along with two episodes focused on music rooted in Phoenix. “Preserving the music isn’t enough,” Hilker said. “Music was made to be heard, and these artists deserve to have their stories told. “Most artists don’t ‘make it big.’ It’s the one percent of the one percent where the music, the business and the moment all line up to catch lightning in a bottle. They get dropped from the label, their album gets shelved or the band breaks up. So, the songs go unheard, buried in a closet or filed in a desk drawer. Their stories can involve addiction, tragedy and heartbreak, but so many times, redemption too. Sometimes it takes decades for the culture to catch up. “We hope people find their journeys as fascinating as we do and come away understanding that the history of American music is much bigger than the hits everyone already knows.” Visit www.fervor-records.com to check out the Fervor catalog and tune into the “From the Archives” podcast.

Oftentimes, black pets like sweet Betty (pet number 857236) spend longer on the adoption floor as they tend to be overlooked by potential adopters more than other pets, the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) says. The 32-pound American Pit Bull mix was rescued by AHS in July after her owner sadly passed away and there was no one else to care for her. Betty is a kind soul who loves to get treats and would appreciate a family that allows her to adjust to her new home with lots of patience and positive reinforcement. As smart as she is cute, this golden eyed pup loves showing off how great she does on a leash and the tricks she knows including sit. This sweet girl absolutely loves meeting new people but does take a little time to adapt to new surroundings. After all, who can blame her after losing the person who took care of her for her whole life? Despite all she has been through, Betty still has a heart of gold. Betty’s adoption fee includes her spay surgery, current vaccinations, a microchip and a follow-up wellness exam with a VCA Animal Hospital.

The district added, “We are #SunnyslopeProud of these dedicated athletes and the entire coaching staff for their hard work, teamwork and accomplishments.” Ensemble attends annual festival GUHSD’s talented vocal ensembles gathered for the annual District Vocal Ensemble Festival, an opportunity to strengthen their skills, collaborate with fellow performers and prepare for upcoming performances. Students worked with Dr. Frank A. Watkins, associate professor of Music and director of Choral Activities at Arizona State University, who shared his expertise and provided valuable feedback. The experience allowed students to learn from an accomplished choral professional and apply new insights to their musical development. GUHSD thanked Watkins, its vocal music directors and participating students for making the festival a celebration of learning and music. Wabbington to play in Indiana Sunnyslope High School senior Darius Wabbington has committed to continue his basketball career at Indiana University, where he will compete at the NCAA Division I level. A standout on the Vikings’ varsity team since his freshman year, Wabbington has continued to develop his skills and gain national recognition.

The school also received a $5,000 grant from the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation to support their STEAM garden on campus. Simis teacher recognized Madison Simis Elementary teacher Denyse Deihl has been named as an Arizona IB Teacher of the Year by the Arizona International Baccalaureate Schools (AZIBS) organization. The annual award honors individuals who exemplify the spirit of IB education and recognizes the dedication, creativity and international-mindedness that define IB learning and teaching in Arizona. Deihl creates learning experiences that encourage students to be curious, ask questions, make connections and see themselves as capable learners and leaders, the district said. Adding, “Through inquiry, collaboration, reflection and meaningful connections to the world around them, she encourages students to approach learning with an open mind and a willingness to take action.” Reflecting on the award the teacher said, “Being recognized as the IB Teacher of the Year is an honor that reminds me of why I entered education. My greatest reward remains seeing my students develop critical thinking, curiosity and a passionate, global perspective in the classroom every day. This recognition inspires me to continue refining my teaching to best support and empower every learner who steps through my door.” In September, 10 Madison teachers received $500 grants, including three teachers at Madison Meadows Middle School (photo courtesy of Madison School District). Teachers awarded APS grants Ten teachers from across Madison Simis Elementary, Madison Meadows Middle School and Madison Traditional Academy were each recently awarded a $500 grant through the APS Supply My Class program.

Phoenix Union High School District City Year supports freshman transition Thanks to a new partnership with nonprofit City Year, freshmen who attend Central High School will find additional support as they navigate their first year of high school (photo courtesy of Phoenix Union High School District). For many students, the transition into high school can be difficult, but Central High School has introduced an exciting new partnership to provide additional support for students as they navigate their freshman year. City Year is an education nonprofit that partners with schools across the country with a dual mission: aiding student success in schools while also developing young people as civic leaders and professionals. At Central, student success coaches work alongside teachers and staff in the freshman house where they provide academic assistance, individualized attention and mentors who are invested in student success. Phoenix is piloting a unique version of the program in which coaches attend Arizona State University while serving at Central three days a week. “We focus on Near Peer relationships,” Alexandra Menendez, City Year’s impact manager at Central, said. The coaches, ranging from ages 17-25, offer students mentors that can better relate to their experiences while helping them remain engaged with school.” Coaches support classroom instruction, work with small groups and check in with students about various topics – whether that’s attendance or other challenges they may be having. Menendez said that students who have a person on campus that they know is going to support them gives the student another reason to come to campus every day. In addition to academic goals, City Year hopes to aid students in developing confidence, independence and a stronger sense of what they are capable of. Although the program is still in its early stages, Menendez has already witnessed growing connections and recognition between students and coaches. “I’m so excited for City Year to be recognized on campus,” Menedez said. “When we get to the point where students that maybe are not even in freshman house and are just like ‘Oh, that’s a City Year and I know what that means and I trust this person because of that.’” Through mentorship and classroom support, City Year is helping freshman students at Central feel connected and supported throughout their high school journey, the school added.

Spartans place third In late September, Camelback High School congratulated its Boys Golf Team for taking third place in the PXU Championship. “We are so proud of the hard work, dedication and growth these Spartans have shown all season long,” the school said in a Sept. 30 social media post (photo courtesy of PXU).

Some things never change. Nor should they. They are icons that define an era, tie a community to its roots, hearken back to history and immerse us in the warmth of memory while preserving cherished traditions for decades to come. Durant’s Steakhouse is one of those icons, a vivid pink building on Central Avenue, its distinctive sign spelling out a destination for power business lunches and celebratory dinners for generations of Phoenicians. The famous – Barry Goldwater and Frank Sinatra among them – the power brokers, and regular folks just out for a great meal have been coming in the back door, through the kitchen and into the dimly lit dining rooms for 75-plus years. They come for traditional steakhouse fare – thick porterhouses and New York strips, lobster thermidor and shrimp cocktail, sides of creamed spinach and giant baked potatoes – for martinis and Manhattans, for deft, quiet service, for dinner-table deals and power lunches. Durant’s was founded by Jack Durant in 1950, then operated by Jack and Carol McElroy until early 2025, when it was purchased by the Mastro family – brothers Mike and Jeffrey and their father Dennis – and their business partner Scott Troilo. The group had operated Mastro’s Steakhouses in Scottsdale and Beverly Hills, and then Dominick’s Steakhouse, Steak 44 and 48 and Ocean 44 and 48 in Arizona. Today, three generations of the Mastro family work in the business. Marc Lupino, chief culinary officer for the group, has been with the Mastro family since he started as a sous chef in 1999. “They’re such a great family,” he said. “As intense as it can be, I really love working for people who have such a great passion for the guests, the facility, the food, and then finding my place within that.” The new owners closed Durant’s for an update, including extensive kitchen renovations, then reopened last December. It was a restoration instead of a remodel. Deeply tufted red booths, red walls, intimate lighting, Sinatra on the playlist, and a menu showcasing prime corn-fed beef, perfectly grilled, will bring back memories for long-time patrons. In one dining area, plaques line the walls, etched with the names of diners who downed 42-ounce porterhouses on their own. “We kept that porterhouse on the menu but today it’s 36 ounces and we do it more for two people,” Lupino said. There’s also a 72-ounce version for four. “We’ve had quite a few old customers come in. I want them to feel the same nostalgia. That was the whole point of this. We could have easily taken out the red booths, but why? We want it to be the same iconic brand with a few different offerings.” When he was working on the updated menu, Lupino went through the restaurant’s menus over the years. “There was amazing food all across the board over the decades,” he said. “That’s what I wanted to do and what we’ll continue to do.” On the menu at Durant’s are classics such as the 36-ounce porterhouse steak, mezzi rigatoni with vodka sauce, mushroom caps in wine and butter and jumbo asparagus with Pecorino Romano (photo by Darryl Webb for North Central News).

It’s a tomahawk steak on the bone, pounded thin, breaded and fried, and served with vodka sauce. “That’s my favorite item on the menu,” Lupino said. The caviar service is another new addition. “I’m such a huge fan of caviar,” Lupino said. “I connected with a family-owned company that does the Sasanian caviar. I went to one of their farms in Vancouver and harvested caviar with them. “One thing I love about caviar is that it’s very interactive. There are a lot of accompaniments that come with it, and you customize it the way you like it. It’s a very social thing. I love that aspect, and I think sometimes we lose the social aspect of dining.” While the menu is extensive, with seafood, salads, rack of lamb and pork chops among the offerings, beef is the star of the menu, and Lupino takes pains to find the best. Most of the steaks are corn-fed from the Midwest. “I work with packers there for our prime beef, and I do a domestic wagyu program and some Japanese wagyu,” he said. “I went to Japan and went to all the farms, from calving all the way through into the packing plant.” He takes the same approach for seafood. “I went to Norway this year and bought king crab for what I’ll be doing for the whole year,” he said. Lupino credits his teams, from the valets to the kitchen and serving staff, for helping to create the Durant’s experience. “When everybody enters through the kitchen, it’s very important to me that they’re met with a smile and ‘Welcome in,’” he said. “I really have to take my hat off to the people who run this place every day. They do a fantastic job. “I’m so lucky to have the people I have. A lot of them are home-grown. The executive chef here, Felix Ruiz, started off as a dishwasher for me and worked his way up through the whole restaurant. He’s cultivating a guy who is doing the same thing.” That continuity is an enduring theme for the Mastros, for Lupino and for Durant’s itself. “We had this iconic institution of Phoenix,” Lupino said. “Everything we tried to do was so that when you walk in, it should have a very familiar feel. We didn’t want to change it; we wanted to refresh it and bring it at least another 75 years. We’re just stewards of this brand for now. We want to do our best for Jack Durant, who did amazing things and has been a staple for years.” Durant’s, 2611 N. Central Ave., is open for dinner from 4 to 9:15 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 3:30 to 10 p.m., Friday, and 4 to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday; and open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Friday.

P. Moore (Francis Adams Moore), ca. 1930s; Member Mrs. Jay Hyde, ca. 1935 (The Arizona Republic); and Member Idah Meacham, ca. early 1900s (photos courtesy of Phoenix Writer’s Club). In 1926, the city of Phoenix was roughly 5 square miles; its skyline was dominated by the Heard Building – completed in 1920 and home to The Arizona Republican and the Phoenix Gazette – and the Luhrs Building, the tallest building in the city once complete in 1924. The 1926 re-routing of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s main line through Phoenix was a key factor in the city’s growth, Sky Harbor airport would come along just three years later, and downtown and the greater Phoenix area was fast becoming a tourism destination. Phoenix was a city of some 35,000-40,000 people and housing was beginning to push beyond the McDowell Road city limit as Encanto-Palmcroft, Willo and other “suburb” communities were being built. The city was booming. And it was this backdrop that set the stage for a feisty group of women journalists who, after being denied entry to the Arizona Press Club because of their gender, founded the Phoenix Writers Club (PWC). The club tells the story of Gertrude Bryan Leeper, its first president. She was the feature and women’s editor at the Phoenix Evening Gazette. When she faced a closed door at the press club, she “saw the exclusion for what it was,” one PWC club member wrote, “And instead of knocking on that locked door forever, she built her own house.” Fast forward to 2026, and the club, with its current roster of 100 members, is no longer just for women, nor just for journalists, but it still believes in its mission: to provide a space where writers and readers can join together, discuss and grow their skills and knowledge in the craft of writing. And this month, the club will host a Centennial Celebration that honors its roots and recognizes 100 years of “Writers helping Writers.” Board members of the Phoenix Writers Club include (L-R): Beth Johnson, secretary; Ilsa Manning, social media; Navissa Kaiser, treasurer; Cindi Reiss, president and membership chair; and D’Anne Pientka, newsletter / critique group (submitted photo). “As president of Phoenix Writers Club, it is a joy to celebrate 100 years of ‘writers helping writers,’” club president Cindi Riess told us. “In my 22 years as a member, I have had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of writers from all genres. I have been mentored by the best and have grown with every writer I met.” The event, scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12, from 4 to 7 p.m. at North Mountain Visitor Center, 12950 N. 7th St., will celebrate the “witty Western women who found a peaceful way to promote creativity and camaraderie in the face of adversity, demonstrating tremendous pioneering spirit in establishing a space for writers,” organizers said. “Our club, founded by women, is a testament to the bonds women and men form as they learn, grow and share their stories,” Riess added. “I am honored to serve as president and follow in the footsteps of determined, insightful women who were not only writers, but pillars of the community.” Creativity and camaraderie have been the foundational elements for the club, and that continues today, says Ilsa Manning. She has been a member of the club since 2013. She began by volunteering to handle social media for the club and serves on the board today. It was a search for community that first drew her to the club. “I had recently moved back to Phoenix,” she recalled, “and I finally had the courage to say ‘I’m a writer,’ and I needed that community and support.” The club meets on the third Saturday of the month at North Mountain Visitor Center, and welcomes writers of every genre, and since the 1990s every gender, to join them – regardless of whether they are experienced or just beginning their writing journey, Manning said. “You walk in to our meetings and everybody is there because they are interested in writing, and they have that creative spirit.” Beyond the monthly meetings, the club hosts writing contests, twice-monthly critique groups and publishes a literary magazine, among other endeavors. And they still lean in to that pioneering spirit of bringing people together to pursue and support shared interests. “We are just a ragtag group from all these different backgrounds that have this passion for writing and creativity,” Manning said, “and we strive to support that in one another while achieving our goals is as writers and creators…and everybody’s welcome.” Visit www.phoenixwritersclub.com to learn more about the club or to purchase tickets to the Centennial Celebration.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae745e4726b22deeb6943b4 NFL keeps fining Caleb Williams for refusing to cover logo of "science" cleats worn by over 80 players te 2026-11-01T14:00:04.990Z NFL keeps fining Caleb Williams for refusing to cover logo of "science" cleats worn by over 80 players The NFL says player safety is a top priority, but apparently, wearing cleats designed to help prevent injuries can cost you a pretty penny. Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been fined a whopping $35,823 over two games for wearing Caddix cleats, a company only a few years old with only four employees, which claims its technology can reduce the risk of non-contact injuries through its SmartStuds technology. CEO Jack Rasmussen, after explaining that Williams is not, and has not been a Caddix sponsored athlete, nor has he ever been paid by the company, told OutKick, "I get why he was fined, 100%. I totally get it. We're not a league sponsor, and we can't afford to be or want to be a league sponsor." Williams was initially fined $11,941 for displaying an "unauthorized logo" during Chicago's Week 6 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The NFL then doubled down, issuing another $23,882 fine for the same violation against the New England Patriots in Week 7. While he understands why the league fined Williams, Rasmussen made his company's support extremely clear saying, "Caleb Williams bought [our cleats], liked them, wore them, and now he's being penalized for liking them and wearing them, and we're taking a stance where we're going to support a player who's looking out for his best interest." Rasmussen also said, "We're a small company. We've been selling cleats for less than 2 years. I have a total of four employees, so this is certainly an uphill battle for us, but it's a battle we're happy to be a part of." The interesting aspect of this whole saga is the fact that Caleb Williams has worn these cleats before the Bears Week 6 match-up against the Atlanta Falcons, but he wasn't fined. I reached out to the NFL for an explanation but have yet to hear a response. NIKE CEO MAY HAVE JUST ADMITTED THE COMPANY WENT TOO WOKE AS STOCK HITS 12-YEAR LOW In case you weren't aware, the reason you only see Adidas, Nike, and Under Armour logos on NFL players' feet is because the NFL can charge those brands tens of millions of dollars per year to be "official apparel partners" of the league. While players can wear cleats from other manufacturers, such as Caddix or New Balance, which is worn by Josh Allen, they are expected to wear non-branded cleats like Allen does. Notably, in the same vein, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey wears Bruce Bolt gloves but the lightning bolt logo is absent from the glove, as well as the company name. Rasmussen also told me that McCaffrey's teammate Kyle Juszczyk is one of 80 players that has, or continues to wear Caddix cleats. "We have over 80 athletes wearing them. We haven't paid them a dollar," Rasmussen stated. "We actually have players actively leaving and turning down endorsement deals from other companies to wear Caddix for free. It's not about us finding the biggest guy, it's about allowing guys to wear this cleat because it's better for them." Other NFL players that wear Caddix cleats include: Cooper Kupp, Bubba Baker, Marlon Humphrey, Jalen Ramsey, Derek Stingley Jr., and Dalton Kincaid. As I told Rasmussen, "Those are some pretty notable names." Kupp is a former Super Bowl MVP, coming off another Super Bowl win. Ramsey was the highest paid cornerback in NFL history a few short seasons ago. It's an impressive list, especially when brands are knocking at these athletes doors to represent their brand and products. CARDINALS BACKUP CORNERBACK FINED BY NFL FOR WRITING 'GLORY BE 2 GOD' ON HIS EYEBLACK As far as Rasmussen is aware, not a single one of these 80+ players have been fined by the NFL like Caleb Williams has. If they were, I'm sure he'd be inclined to pay their fine just as he and his company have offered for Williams'. Speaking directly to the lack of fines for other players, Rasmussen said, "People have been wearing Caddix cleats in NFL games for 3 years. Joe Flacco wore them all last year, had that record breaking game actually against the Bears, ironically enough, and then he was on Netflix wearing Caddix logos all over television, and no one said a word. I think it's just very precarious timing, because you have this player in Caleb Williams, who we all know is gonna be the face of the league here pretty soon." I also reached out to the NFL for an explanation as to why Caleb Williams has been the only NFL player fined for wearing Caddix cleats. I have yet to receive a response. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco, who began wearing Caddix cleats in 2024 and subsequently became an investor in the company, has offered to cover Williams' future fines. "If Caleb gets fined again for wearing Caddix, I'll pay the fine myself," Flacco told ESPN. "This isn't about making a statement or breaking the rules just to break them. It's about wearing gear that works for you and helps keep you safe on the field." But more good news for Caddix from a marketing standpoint, Caleb Williams is not backing down and has essentially become a non-paid spokesperson for the brand. BEARS STAR CALEB WILLIAMS COULD REINJURE HAMSTRING BY RETURNING TOO SOON, SURGEON SAYS "I'm huge into trying to stay on the field. I'm huge into trying to be healthy," Williams told reporters responding to news of his fines. "They're smart cleats. They're science cleats, and they've been working for me." So what are these "science cleats" Williams and other NFL players swear by? Caddix uses patented SmartStuds technology, featuring flexible studs designed to reduce rotational stress on players' knees and ankles during sudden cuts and movements. Williams believes the technology can help prolong his career, particularly after recently returning from a hamstring injury. Rasmussen also mentioned, "Several very high profile guys who are currently signed to shoe companies buy cleats on our website." With that information, of course I had to ask if any of those athletes are Nike athletes, which Rasmussen responded, "Yes, I certainly cannot tell you who it is though." Williams has appealed his initial fine and reportedly intends to continue wearing the cleats without covering the logo, which will continue to be a headache for the NFL giving Caddix free marketing, but due to NFL rules, that could lead to the league barring Williams from playing. In case you weren't aware, the NFL has uniform inspectors at every game to make sure players like Williams comply with specific branding standards, or at least, are made aware when they don't comply, making the fines not a surprise if they refuse to comply. According to the NFL, "The uniform inspector’s job is to make sure that every player in violation of the rules is aware of it and has an opportunity to correct it. He’ll talk directly to players and, a half-hour before kickoff, he’ll meet with a team representative to report problems. That employee must bring any player spotted with a violation back to the inspector for clearance before kickoff." The Uniform Inspections section of the NFL website further states, "Players and teams have the opportunity to get into compliance at the next change of possession or other "appropriate stoppage" in play. After the game, the inspector roams the locker rooms, checking to make sure that no non-partner logos can be seen by reporters, fans or television cameras — and then writes a summary of each game for the league. For many violations, a player cannot go back into the game until the problem is corrected. Teams can be penalized 5 yards if — after receiving a warning — the player enters the game anyway. Failing to comply with league warnings can result in hefty fines." Specifically, the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, Article 51, Section 2(a), specifically gives the league authority to regulate third-party branding on players' footwear. They are a business, big business, and they want to protect their business interests. That makes sense. But does the NFL actually have the ability to bar Williams from entering the game if he refuses to comply on Monday Night Football against the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks? According to the NFL's Official Playing Rules, Rule 5, Section 4, players must comply with league uniform and equipment standards, including restrictions on unauthorized branding. The rule's penalty provisions allow officials to prevent players from entering a game if they refuse to correct certain uniform violations before kickoff. Players who fail to correct violations discovered during a game can also be prohibited from returning to the field. That authority is reinforced by federal court documentation. In National Football League Management Council v. NFL Players Association (2016), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reproduced the NFL's uniform enforcement policy, which explicitly stated: "All uniform and On Field violations detected during the routine pregame check must be corrected prior to kickoff, or the offending player(s) will not be allowed to enter the game." The policy also required players to be removed from games until in-game violations were corrected. In other words, while the NFL has not announced plans to keep Williams off the field over his Caddix cleats, its existing rules provide a potential enforcement mechanism that goes well beyond simply issuing another fine. While speaking to Rasmussen on the potential of the NFL barring Williams from playing because he refuses to cover the Caddix branding, he jokingly said, "I think it's a great idea. I think they should definitely bench Caleb Williams." He also said, in response to a question about whether or not he believes Williams will continue to defy the league's demands, "He seems like a guy who's just does what he wants to do, and if he does, good for him. If he doesn't, I get it too." As for a potential partnership with Caleb Williams and Caddix in the future, Rasmussen said, "I met Caleb one time, and I've talked to him a handful of times, but he and I never talked about a deal ever."  "Right now they're gonna focus on playing the season, you know? This isn't a conversation that needs to be had right now. We have to figure out if Caleb is gonna keep getting penalized and all that stuff, but I mean, we'll see. I would love to have a deal with Caleb Williams." As for now, Caddix is a disrupter in the football cleats market. As Rasmussen said, "Obviously we want to disrupt, but I've had a number of conversations with most of the big brands in the past 12 months and some of them have become friends of mine. I got congratulations a couple of times last week from a certain company and a few of their employees, and it was great to hear." "We're not gonna do things a conventional way. We're just not, and if it's gonna come down to safety or money, we're gonna put the first one every time, I promise." Mark this down as another great American story of an entrepreneur using the tools and freedoms this great country has to offer to make a huge splash in the most profitable league in American sports, on the back of free advertising from one of the league's and American sports, brightest stars. Williams appeal hearing will be held on Nov. 10.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7438b726b22deeb69434e Tim Scott declares alleged 'Decoy Dan' plot a 'criminal offense' as DOJ investigation rocks Alaska te 2026-11-01T13:50:03.872Z Tim Scott declares alleged 'Decoy Dan' plot a 'criminal offense' as DOJ investigation rocks Alaska National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chair Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., told Fox News he felt vindicated after the Department of Justice reportedly issued dozens of subpoenas in Alaska, arguing that Republicans had warned for months about an alleged Democratic effort to recruit a "decoy" U.S. Senate candidate. Speaking on "Saturday in America," Scott said the NRSC identified the alleged scheme early, accusing U.S. Senate candidate Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. of copying the campaign logos, colors and materials of incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. "Absolutely vindicated. We've been saying this for months," Scott said Saturday. SCHUMER ACCUSED OF YEARLONG PLOT TO PLANT 'DECOY' CANDIDATE IN CRITICAL SENATE RACE "The truth is that the fake Dan, the 'Decoy Dan,' his one objective is to confuse voters. Number two, if there's a second point, it's the collusion that occurred to recruit this candidate. That is a criminal offense. It is immoral, frankly, to lie to the public about who you are, but it is actually illegal to collude with others in order to confuse the voters," he added. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Alaska Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign, along with senior aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, were involved in an alleged effort to recruit a candidate with the same name as the Republican incumbent. The alleged effort was intended to confuse voters and draw support away from Sen. Dan Sullivan, according to the report. MARY PELTOLA TRASHES NEW YORK TIMES REPORT ON DAN SULLIVAN PLOT, CALLING IT A 'DISTRACTION' Peltola said she "knew nothing" about an alleged scheme to recruit a candidate with the same name as her opponent to run in the election. Sen. Dan Sullivan, however, told Fox News she is "still lying." In a statement to Fox News Digital, Peltola's campaign denied any involvement in the alleged scheme. "The Alaskans for Mary campaign has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign," the campaign said. "Mary got in this race because Alaskans deserve a champion who is fighting to lower their costs and put Alaska first — and no threats from DC politicians or baseless investigations from a weaponized Department of Justice will keep her away from that fight." The two candidates appear on the ballot under similar names. The incumbent Republican senator is listed as "Sullivan, Dan S.," while Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., a retired schoolteacher running without party affiliation, is listed as "Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr." In an interview with The Associated Press published in June, Sullivan Jr. denied being a spoiler candidate and said he entered the race independently. PELTOLA CAMPAIGN'S ALLEGED DAN SULLIVAN SPOILER PLOT TAKES NEW TURN AS DOJ FACES MAJOR LEGAL HURDLE "Every single piece of his campaign information copied the real Dan Sullivan's logo, the colors and even the font. He tried to change his middle initial so that he could confuse more voters as if he was the real Dan Sullivan — all that with 30 subpoenas means he could be in serious federal trouble," Scott said. Scott also pointed to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings as evidence of what he described as a sham candidacy, arguing that Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. had made little effort to mount a serious campaign for the U.S. Senate seat. TRUMP PROSECUTIONS UNDER BIDEN SET PRECEDENT FOR DOJ’S ALASKA ‘DECOY DAN’ PROBE, EX-FEC CHAIR SAYS "On his FEC forms, federal election forms, what does he show? Nothing," Scott said. "He's actually done nothing trying to achieve the goal of being the senator. He's done one thing, which is to put his name on the ballot to confuse the voters." Scott also warned that the alleged decoy candidate could face legal consequences if he lies to federal investigators. SCHIFF ACCUSES DOJ OF TRYING TO 'SUBVERT' ELECTIONS AS GOP ALLEGES SAME-NAME CANDIDATE MEANT TO CONFUSE VOTERS "I would be shaking in my boots if I was 'Decoy Dan,' and frankly, no one wants to go to jail for something they didn't do," Scott said. "So he'd be very careful as he talks to the federal Department of Justice about what happened and what didn't happen. Lying to the prosecutors — that's a felony." Fox News Digital reached out to Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for comment. Fox News Digital’s Greg Norman-Diamond contributed to this report.

The Bills are favored at home, and the 53.5 total is the highest of the early slate. Baltimore’s outlook depends on Lamar Jackson, who is questionable. If he plays, he and Derrick Henry give the Ravens two of the best pick’em options on the board. If he doesn’t, Henry’s workload is the safest bet in Baltimore’s offense. The Ravens’ 60 penalties this season are the one stat that could flip this game. Odds are subject to change Minnesota is 6-0 and still a road underdog. The Vikings have covered every road game this season, while the Lions are 1-4-1 against the spread and winless ATS at home. Detroit’s games have gone over five times in six. Minnesota’s have gone under five times in six. For picks, Jahmyr Gibbs is the centerpiece. Few running backs in the league get more touches, and Detroit will want to keep the ball in his hands to control the tempo. The Lions also get safety Brian Branch back on defense.

The numbers explain why that’s a strange spot. The Vikings are 3-0 against the spread on the road and 2-0 as underdogs. The Lions are 1-4-1 ATS this season and haven’t covered once at Ford Field. These two teams also play completely different styles of game. The over is 5-1 in Detroit’s games, while the under is 5-1 in Minnesota’s. Something has to give. For pick ’em players, Jahmyr Gibbs is the name to start with. Few backs in the league get a bigger weekly workload, and Detroit gets safety Brian Branch back on the other side of the ball. Odds are subject to change This is the game everyone wants to see, as long as Lamar Jackson plays. He’s questionable heading into the weekend, and the line has been padded past the field goal while that question hangs over it. The last time Jackson and Josh Allen met, it turned into an instant classic. Buffalo has one of the most efficient offenses in the league, with 23 touchdowns this season, second only to San Francisco. The Bills also come in rested after their bye. Baltimore can move the ball with anyone with Derrick Henry in the backfield, but discipline has been an issue, with 60 penalties already on the season.

The Vikings are the NFL’s last unbeaten team, and they’re still getting points. That says a lot about how the market views Detroit at home, even though the results haven’t backed it up. The Lions are 1-4-1 against the spread this year and 0-2-1 ATS at Ford Field. Minnesota, meanwhile, has covered all three of its road games. The key question is tempo. Detroit’s games have gone over five times in six tries. Minnesota's have gone under five times in six. The Lions want to lean on Jahmyr Gibbs and get into a shootout, while the Vikings have won by keeping games tight. Detroit also gets safety Brian Branch back, which helps a secondary that’s been leaky. Odds are subject to change Everything in this game runs through one injury report. Lamar Jackson is questionable, and the spread has moved past the field goal to Bills -3.5 while Baltimore waits on an answer. If Jackson plays, this is the best quarterback matchup of the season so far. If he doesn’t, Buffalo’s edge grows fast. The Bills come off a bye with an offense that’s scored 23 touchdowns, second-most in the league. Josh Allen and James Cook have been as reliable a pairing as there is. Baltimore still has Derrick Henry to grind out drives, but 60 penalties through seven games is the kind of number that loses close games on the road.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae74131726b22deeb6942dc Fox News Power Rankings: Kansas moves to Toss-up, Nebraska moves to Lean R te 2026-11-01T13:40:02.000Z Fox News Power Rankings: Kansas moves to Toss-up, Nebraska moves to Lean R Updated Nov. 1: We’re updating this forecast to move Kansas from Lean R to Toss-up, and Nebraska from Likely R to Lean R. Kansas is a conservative stronghold, but Republicans are spending too much time and money relative to other states to conclude that Sen. Roger Marshall has an edge over Democrat Adam Hamilton. The odds remain in Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts' favor in Nebraska. A larger-than-expected swing against the GOP could open the door for independent Dan Osborn to pull off an upset. We still consider Senate control a toss-up. Seven states are most likely to decide the majority. On a good night for the Democrats, their ceiling rises to 55 seats. A good night for the Republicans could see them retain control with up to 52 seats. TRUMP-BACKED SENATOR ADMITS GOP FACES NIGHTMARE SCENARIO IN STATE REPUBLICANS HAVEN'T LOST IN 90 YEARS — It seems like there are two electorates in these midterms. SCHOEN, COOPERMAN: DEMOCRATS COULD BE RIDING A MIDTERM WAVE. THESE NUMBERS SHOULD TERRIFY THE GOP The first is frustrated with President Donald Trump and ready to reject Republicans. It includes growing numbers of independent, rural, and Hispanic voters who say they’ll vote for a Democrat. That’s what the latest round of House polling shows, including a survey last week that had Democrats up 11 points on the generic ballot, and Fox’s most recent national poll. The second electorate is wavering on Republicans but won’t necessarily hand Democrats the Senate. These are the voters in the Midwest and a few other places. They say they prefer the Democrat or Republican in their states by a point or two at most. That’s the right conclusion from most of the battleground Senate polling. How could both things be true? In other words, if Democrats have such a wide lead in the House, won’t the Senate fall too? Both are true, and a big lead in the House doesn’t necessarily translate to the Senate. These voters are all in the same electorate, and they only seem divorced from each other because the House and Senate maps are so far apart this year. FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: FOR THE DEMOCRATS, WHERE COULD IT POSSIBLY GO WRONG? The president’s declining approval rating and Democratic advantages on the issues will likely deliver them the House, and possibly by many seats. Those advantages have also allowed the blue team to play in a lot of Senate races that Republicans thought were unreachable, but only to the point of making them battlegrounds. GOP SENATE MAJORITY FACES FRESH UNCERTAINTY AS 2 KEY RACES TIGHTEN DAYS BEFORE MIDTERMS The road to a Senate majority goes through several states that Trump won by 11 points or more. Democrats can win any of these races. If Republicans turn out and stay loyal to their party, the climb for the left will be steep. That’s why the Senate is a toss-up. Voters could give Democrats a majority, and maybe with several seats to spare. They could also let the Republicans keep control. We’ll find out next week. In his 11-year political career, President Donald Trump has triumphed over almost all of the threats to his power. The exception was the coronavirus pandemic, which was the top issue for voters in the 2020 election and ushered in the Biden presidency. It was also one of the few threats that Trump has faced from abroad. This time, Trump and the Republicans face a new foreign opponent: Iran. The administration’s decision to start joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes against the nation in February has cast a shadow over the GOP. First, it has impacted Trump’s approval rating, which will decide the fate of many congressional Republicans and has fallen since the war began. It was 44% in the last pre-war survey and sits at 36% now. The war has also given Democrats advantages on the top issues. In Fox’s October survey, Iran played a role in four issues that more than two-thirds of voters said they were concerned about: inflation (85%), gas prices (83%), government leadership (79%), and the war in Iran itself (75%). Most voters said they preferred the Democrats to handle those issues: 16 points on inflation, 12 points on gas prices, 11 points on leadership, and 9 points on foreign policy. Still, voters are not convinced that the Senate should change hands. That comes down to the territory. Trump won seven of the 11 battleground states in 2024, and seven of them by double digits. That includes Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas. Democrats don’t need to win all of those states to take the Senate, but it’s hard to see how they get to 51 seats without at least two of them. While former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown leads in Ohio, the other states are close. Turnout, a polling error in either direction, or both could decide them. There’s also a lot of undecided vote. In Alaska, Iowa, and Kansas, three states with recent high-quality polling, an average of 10% of voters say they haven’t decided who they will support or won’t support the major candidates. Any guess on how those voters will break at the ballot box is only a guess. All we know from prior results is that the overall electorate leans conservative, so the Democrats have the tougher assignment to bring them over to their side (or keep them at home). There are far fewer undecided voters in Texas, where last week’s Fox News Poll showed a tied race at 49%-49%. If Democrats only win two Trump-won battlegrounds, they’ll need to win three other races where former Vice President Harris delivered single-digit victories in 2024: Maine, Minnesota, and New Hampshire. Democrats are ahead in the latter two. Maine could go either way. While Democrats win its presidential races, it could just as easily be considered a Republican state when Susan Collins is on the ballot. Both parties are short of a majority in this forecast. Democrats are favored in 48 seats and Republicans are ahead in 45. On a good night for Democrats, the party would win most or all the toss-ups, taking the majority with up to 55 seats. In that scenario, other competitive states would also come into focus, including Nebraska, and possibly Mississippi. A good night for the Republicans would see them simply hold on to most of the states they already have, up to a ceiling of 52 seats. The party also has opportunities to flip a couple of states, including Minnesota and New Hampshire. Five states have moved in Power Rankings forecasts this week. In Ohio, Brown has enjoyed a lead in three Fox News polls this year, including last week’s survey, which had him five points ahead of Republican incumbent Sen. Jon Husted at 52%-47%. Ohio voters are very familiar with Brown, having sent him to the Senate three times. That has made it hard for Husted to campaign on socialism and woke politics, themes that Republicans elsewhere see as their strongest cards to play. Ohio moves from Toss-up to Lean D. ("Lean D" means the Democrat has an edge but it’s still a highly competitive race. We define every ranking and the process for setting them on FoxNews.com.) As this week’s Power Rankings previously reported, Republicans already viewed this as an uncomfortably close race. That belief is now widely shared. The president headed back there to help Sen. Darline Graham in the Upstate, where she underperformed in her primary runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman. South Carolina moves from Lean R to Toss-up. Kansas is a conservative stronghold, but Republicans are spending too much time and money relative to other states to conclude that Sen. Roger Marshall has an edge over Democrat Adam Hamilton. Kansas moves from Lean R to Toss-up. The odds remain in Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts' favor in Nebraska. A larger-than-expected swing against the GOP could open the door for independent Dan Osborn to pull off an upset. Nebraska moves from Likely R to Lean R. Mississippi is a Republican stronghold, but Trump’s decision to rally there over other deep red states is a sign that the party thinks it’s competitive. GOP Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith faces Democratic District Attorney Scott Colom in a race where protein choice has become a breakout issue. Mississippi moves from Solid R to Likely R. Democrats are still likely to flip the House this November, and in this forecast, they’re predicted to take at least 223 seats. Since a good night for the Democrats would see them take most of the toss-up races, they could end up with as many as 240 seats. (On a great Democratic night, the party would pick up most of the Lean R districts as well, taking them as high as 252 seats.) Republicans have 195 seats in their columns. A good night for them would take that total up to around 212. That’s six short of a majority, but enough to make life difficult for the next Democratic House Speaker, who would have to balance the demands of the moderate and far-left wings of the party. Nineteen more races have shifted in the Democrats’ direction this week, all on the same themes outlined in the last House update: national and district polling, top-of-the-ticket strength, and rural voter erosion. The earliest-closing districts on election night will give some sense of the House’s future. Keep an eye on Kentucky’s 6th district, which covers Lexington and a large central area of the state. Trump won here by 15 points in the last presidential election. Thanks to a combination of left-leaning college voters and farmers grappling with higher costs, it looks close this cycle. The district moves from Lean R to Toss-up. Finally, Ohio’s gubernatorial race is also on the move. The campaign between Democrat Amy Acton and Republican Vivek Ramaswamy was the top story in politics last week after Ramaswamy ran an ad featuring Acton’s mother, who called her daughter a liar. Acton has been estranged from her mother since age 12, when she says she and her brother left her family home because her mother’s husband was sexually abusing her. Acton’s brother now appears in a response ad discussing their family history. This ratings change is less about the response to the ad (Ramaswamy and President Trump are supportive of the commercial; most others including Husted and Governor Mike DeWine are against it) than it is about the fact that the Ramaswamy campaign felt the need to run it. While Ramaswamy sat only two points behind Acton in last week’s Fox poll, he’s an average of seven points behind in other high-quality polls since September. The businessman and onetime presidential hopeful has struggled in favorability ratings throughout his political career. This ad is unlikely to help.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae73edc726b22deeb694258 Popular seafood staple contains up to 64% less of key heart-healthy nutrient than older data showed te 2026-11-01T13:30:04.145Z Popular seafood staple contains up to 64% less of key heart-healthy nutrient than older data showed Celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern is pushing back against concerns about farmed salmon after new research found the popular fish may contain substantially less heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than previously believed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-led study, recently published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, found that farmed Atlantic salmon contained 63.8% less eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 47.5% less docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — two important omega-3 fatty acids — compared with older federal nutritional data. Researchers suggested the differences could be linked to changes in fish feed, as salmon farms increasingly substitute plant-based oils for marine fish oils. COMMON GRILLING MISTAKE COULD STRIP FISH OF KEY NUTRIENTS AND RUIN YOUR MEAL, EXPERTS WARN But Zimmern, a James Beard Award-winning chef and co-author of "The Blue Food Cookbook," cautioned against drawing sweeping conclusions about farmed seafood from the findings. "What we should be calling for is not to eliminate farmed seafood. How do we make it better?" Zimmern told Fox News Digital. The research examined eight farmed Atlantic salmon fillets purchased from retailers in the mid-Atlantic region, raising questions about how representative the findings are of the broader industry. Zimmern questioned whether the results adequately reflected differences among salmon producers worldwide. TENNIS GREAT RAPHAEL NADAL SWEARS BY BREAKFAST WITH NUTRIENT-PACKED TINY FISH The celebrity chef, who said he has personally visited salmon farms in Chile, said farming practices can vary considerably. "There are some really good ones and [there are some] that are not so good," he said. AMERICANS STILL CRAVE PROTEIN DESPITE RECORD BEEF PRICES AS EXPERT REVEALS THE 'HEALTHIEST BURGER' Zimmern, who has long advocated for Americans to eat more responsibly sourced seafood, argued that improving aquaculture is preferable to discouraging consumers from eating farmed fish altogether. "The question is what's going to replace it? We have a very reactionary society. Right? You can't take away millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, pounds of food globally and not replace it with something else," he said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Asked about the limited sample size, a USDA spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the salmon was selected to update existing nutritional information. "The number of samples was based on standard methods used to evaluate whether nutrient levels have changed meaningfully since earlier analyses," the spokesperson said. The USDA also emphasized that the findings should not discourage consumers from eating farmed salmon. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS "The study found that farmed Atlantic salmon remains a nutritious source of omega-3 fatty acids and other key nutrients," the spokesperson said. Zimmern previously told Fox News Digital that Americans should pay closer attention to where their seafood comes from and how it is produced, rather than simply choosing between wild-caught and farm-raised varieties. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ He reiterated that position in his latest interview, arguing that seafood often faces scrutiny that consumers don't apply equally to other animal proteins. "Seafood has to prove itself innocent all the time, because everybody assumes it's just guilty, guilty, guilty," Zimmern said.

Another represents 1.3 million hardworking Americans, including tens of thousands of drivers, transportation professionals, casting directors, animal wranglers and location scouts who are vital to the entertainment industry. And the third represents nearly 170,000 highly skilled behind-the-scenes workers who bring these stories to life. At times we’re on opposite sides of the table, but we share a north star: to grow and maintain a thriving American film and television business that creates good jobs and boosts local communities nationwide. We stand together today urging Congress to pass a long-overdue federal film incentive this year and to join us in protecting American jobs that keep our nation at the forefront of visual storytelling. The film and TV industry has always been an American economic engine, generating over 2 million jobs nationwide every year. These production jobs impact and support more than 162,000 businesses across all 50 states. The industry pays over $200 billion in wages to U.S. workers each year and holds a trade surplus with nearly every nation on Earth. HOLLYWOOD STAR SOUNDS ALARM OVER DISAPPEARING JOBS AS PRODUCTIONS FLEE CALIFORNIA When a national poll asked Americans what the U.S. does better than anyone else in the world, the top answer wasn't tech or finance, music or sports. It was movies and TV. Work in this space is a national occupation, taking advantage of unbeatable locations — from Montana’s big skies to Hawaii’s blue waters. In recent years, many states have established highly effective tax incentive programs to make local shooting even more competitive. It’s easy to see why: an average feature film adds $22 million to the economy where it shoots and a TV series production can be expected to hire 1,800 workers a season. PELOSI, OMAR JOIN TRUMP AND SCHIFF AS UNLIKELY ALLIANCE PUSHES TO ONSHORE KEY INDUSTRY Congress must build on this success by enacting a federal tax incentive that will boost production and lift up workers in every state. Republicans and Democrats collectively recognize that other nations have long been taking advantage of similar tax incentives to attract these projects and jobs. As a result of more than 120 jurisdictions around the world offering production incentives, the U.S. share of global production has slipped from a historic 65% benchmark to just 39% today. This significant decline isn’t an abstract statistic — it translates into dark soundstages, unreliable paychecks and fewer good-paying American jobs from coast to coast. PARAMOUNT ESCALATES THREAT TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA AS DEM AG'S ANTITRUST LAWSUIT STALLS WARNER BROS MERGER A federal film tax incentive will ensure America reclaims its production leadership by making domestic shoots cost-competitive. And the results will be profound. A new study found that returning the U.S. to its historic 65% share of global production would add almost $250 billion to local economies and create more than 143,000 additional jobs per year. A separate look at film and TV production decision-making found that this type of program would make 80% of the projects competitive to shoot here at home. FILM PRODUCER SAYS 'MADE IN AMERICA' MOVIES CAN HELP REVIVE HOLLYWOOD'S STRUGGLING INDUSTRY States that have had programs in place for years prove tax incentives quickly pay for themselves. One study found that the Georgia film tax credit delivers a 6.3-to-1 "return on investment" by generating new economic activity. Another determined Texas adds $4.50 to the local economy for every dollar invested in the state’s incentive. The federal government already backs strategically important industries with similarly targeted incentives to keep American jobs in America, from pharma to aerospace and automobiles. The film and television industry should be no different. Research shows that after watching American-made movies and shows, foreign audiences are significantly more likely to want to visit the U.S., buy American products and engage with American culture and history. This tangible global impact benefits each of us every day. We are grateful for President Donald Trump’s leadership on prioritizing and protecting American jobs in this industry. This urgent effort was boosted by the president’s recent call for Congress to "approve, immediately, a Federal Production Incentive to create Entertainment Jobs in America." CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION We strongly support the president’s call and commend the bipartisan coalition of congressional allies for introducing the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act in the U.S. Senate and House, including Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., as well as Reps. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, Linda Sánchez, D-Calif., Brian Jack, R-Ga., and Laura Friedman, D-Calif., along with the more than 50 bipartisan sponsors. America has long led the world in film and television production. For more than a century, it has been inherently woven into our shared American identity. We must never sacrifice our leadership, innovation or pride of ownership. There are countless more stories to tell, and we remain confident that this industry’s brightest days are yet to be imagined. But Congress must first do its job to ensure every American impacted by this essential industry can get back to work.

The failed assassination exposed a murder-for-hire plot involving Lori Vallow Daybell. Prosecutors said she recruited her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Boudreaux, who was in the midst of a contentious divorce from Vallow’s niece, Melani Pawlowski. Now, Boudreaux is telling his side of the story. On Oct. 2, 2019, Cox allegedly fired from a parked Jeep Wrangler as Boudreaux pulled his Tesla into the driveway at his Gilbert home. Boudreaux saw the vehicle’s rear window open moments before the shooter fired. A bullet struck Boudreaux’s driver’s-side door, shattering the window. ARIZONA JURY FINDS 'CULT MOM' LORI VALLOW GUILTY OF CONSPIRING TO MURDER LATE HUSBAND Although police identified Cox as the suspected shooter shortly after the attack, he died in December 2019 without facing charges. An Arizona jury convicted Vallow, known as the "cult mom," in June 2025 of conspiring to kill Boudreaux. Two months earlier, another jury convicted her of conspiring to murder her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, whom Cox shot and killed in July 2019. The Arizona convictions followed Vallow’s 2023 Idaho trial. Jurors found her guilty of murdering her two children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and conspiring to murder Tammy Daybell, the former wife of her husband, Chad Daybell. Jurors also convicted her of grand theft for collecting her children’s Social Security benefits. Boudreaux is telling his story in his new book, "Unthinkable." He initially wrote the book privately for his four children. He wanted them to have a broader account of the ordeal and understand his decisions. "I'm sure I made some mistakes," Boudreaux told Fox News Digital. "If they need some closure, if they need to understand better... my goal was to give them all the information." He also hoped to demonstrate how his faith anchored him, while giving his children the freedom to choose their own spiritual path. "I want them to understand their dad and maybe in understanding their dad and why he made the choices he did, maybe they'll understand themselves better," he said. 'CULT MOM' LORI VALLOW, WHO KILLED 2 KIDS, LAMENTS 'FAMILY TRAGEDY' IN CLOSING ARGUMENTS OF 2ND MURDER TRIAL The project expanded after Boudreaux showed the manuscript to loved ones, who urged him to share it with the public. "They all encouraged me," he said. "They said they thought it was good enough and there was enough in there that people would be interested in." Still, Boudreaux waited until the criminal proceedings advanced before speaking publicly, purposely avoiding the release of information that could interfere with the investigations. "I needed to go on the stand with a defense attorney," he said. "I just felt more comfortable waiting and making sure that I let that process go first." "Now that it feels like it's most likely done, it was something that I always kind of intended to share my perspective on." During Vallow’s Idaho murder trial, Boudreaux testified that his marriage to Pawlowski collapsed in 2019 as she grew closer to Vallow. The couple filed for divorce in July 2019. They later fought over custody of their children. According to a 2020 custody filing in Maricopa County Superior Court, Pawlowski’s second husband, Ian, wrote that she believed a "dark entity" or demon had possessed Boudreaux, East Idaho News reported. The filing also claimed Chad Daybell told Pawlowski something must happen to Boudreaux to advance his spirit and the Lord’s plan. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Pawlowski has not been charged in the shooting. Boudreaux, who remarried in 2020, said the shooting, his divorce and the lingering fear that someone was still after him left him struggling to trust others. "Having been through someone shooting at me, and then having them continue, in my opinion, to keep looking for me ... you're just naturally gonna have some trust issues," he said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae737d3726b22deeb694108 Enes Kanter Freedom praises WNBA Finals players, rips leadership after Valkyries' historic championship win te 2026-11-01T13:00:03.204Z Enes Kanter Freedom praises WNBA Finals players, rips leadership after Valkyries' historic championship win Enes Kanter Freedom praised the WNBA’s players but took a shot at league leadership after Saturday’s historic Game 7, renewing his warning that his push to enter the 2027 draft is far from over. His reaction came after the Golden State Valkyries defeated the Atlanta Dream 68-63 at Chase Center in San Francisco, winning their first championship in just their second season. Gabby Williams led Golden State with 30 points in the first Game 7 in WNBA Finals history. "I’m so proud of all these hardworking, talented women who have dedicated their lives to basketball. They deserve all the recognition, respect, and support in the world," Freedom said in a statement reacting to the game. "I just wish they had better leadership, because the conversation should be about their incredible performances on the court, not controversies off it. My hope is that next year we can finally have some peace and let basketball be the focus again. "But if not, I’ll see you ladies at the 2027 WNBA Draft. Rules are rules!" The former NBA center announced his draft bid in August, saying he identifies as a woman and arguing that the league’s eligibility language allowed him to compete. The WNBA has already deemed him ineligible. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert reiterated that position in an Oct. 16 response to Republican lawmakers who had pressed the league to explain its eligibility standards. She wrote that "only women are eligible to play in the WNBA" and identified Freedom as a man. The exchange followed a September inquiry led by Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., seeking, among other answers, the league’s definition of "women." Article XIII, Section 1(a) of the WNBA’s 2026 collective bargaining agreement states: "Only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA." The agreement does not set out a separate eligibility policy for transgender women. Freedom has said he would end his campaign if the league explicitly restricted eligibility to biological women. The dispute also has a connection to the player who led Golden State to its championship. WNBA STAR SAYS SHE WOULD WELCOME A TRANS PLAYER TO HER TEAM, AND THEN SAYS SOMETHING EVEN DUMBER Williams voiced support for transgender athletes earlier this year, saying in May, "I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team, anytime." Freedom later cited her comments as the inspiration for his draft announcement. The Associated Press reported in October that no transgender woman had played in the WNBA. ENES KANTER FREEDOM IN TOUCH WITH FBI AFTER DEATH THREATS OVER WNBA FINALS PLANS: 'WISH HE GOT CHARLIE KIRK'D' Freedom’s campaign also brought him into a confrontation with arena officials during the Finals. He left State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Oct. 21 after disputing a requirement that he watch Game 3 from a private luxury suite instead of his purchased seat. Video showed officials telling him he would have to agree to go to the suite to enter. ENES KANTER FREEDOM GOES SCORCHED EARTH ON LEBRON JAMES, NBA WITH NEW REVELATIONS AFTER WNBA FINALS INCIDENT The arena said the arrangement followed Freedom’s outreach to authorities, the WNBA, the Dream and arena officials about concerns for his personal safety. It said the suite would have additional security and that state police had assigned him an officer at his request. Freedom insisted he wanted to sit in the seat he purchased. An arena representative said he rejected the suite offered for his safety. Earlier in the season, the Chicago Sky banned Freedom from home games after his Aug. 23 confrontation with guard Natasha Cloud. Sky owner Michael Alter defended the decision on safety grounds, saying Freedom had made himself a threat by stepping toward Cloud during the exchange. Freedom’s latest criticism comes with a leadership change already scheduled. Engelbert announced in September that she will retire at the end of 2026, following more than seven years as commissioner. Freedom’s statement signals that he intends to keep pressing the issue as the league prepares for a new commissioner and the 2027 season. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae73323726b22deeb69405d Matt Robertson wins record $1.25 million fishing prize, declares 'trailer trash for life' te 2026-11-01T12:40:03.098Z Matt Robertson wins record $1.25 million fishing prize, declares 'trailer trash for life' NASHVILLE — Matt Robertson just became $1.25 million richer. But don't expect the Kentucky bass fishing pro to pack up and move into a mansion anytime soon. "We ain't moving out the trailer, baby. Trailer trash for life!" Robertson declared during a Saturday evening news conference after winning World Bass Enterprises' inaugural The Champions tournament on Old Hickory Lake in Tennessee. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS The Bassmaster Elite pro backed up a week's worth of trash talk by bringing 20 pounds, 2 ounces of bass to the scales on Championship Saturday, claiming the largest first-place prize in professional bass fishing history. And despite all that confidence, even Robertson seemed a little overwhelmed by the moment. "Dude, it's freaking insane. I don't think it's really hit me yet," he said. Robertson, of Kuttawa, Kentucky, dominated the first two days of competition, then delivered another monster bag Saturday after the weights reset to zero. Pake South finished second with 13 pounds, 7 ounces, taking home $500,000, while Wesley Strader earned $300,000 for third place. The historic tournament brought together top anglers from the Bassmaster Elite Series and Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour, along with two amateur qualifiers, to compete for a record $3.25 million purse. But for Robertson, the payday is about much more than the money. Robertson might not be upgrading his own home, but he already knows where some of that $1.25 million is going. His wife is getting a new vehicle. And he's planning to buy a couple more trailers. Before the final weigh-in, Robertson told OutKick OutDoors that he'd been eyeing two trailers for sale near his home, one priced around $60,000 and the other around $80,000. "I'm for sure buying a couple more trailers," he said. "They're bought, and my wife, she gets her new ride." MATT ROBERTSON HAULS IN 20-POUND BAG TO LEAD THE CHAMPIONS AFTER DAY 1 ON OLD HICKORY LAKE And after securing the championship, he doubled down on those plans. "I hate to tell anybody, but them things are sold," he joked. Behind Robertson's larger-than-life personality, however, is a man who hasn't forgotten where he came from. "I didn't grow up with much," he explained during his post-victory press conference. "I worked so much paycheck to paycheck ... I went through real struggles in life." Those experiences, he said, helped prepare him for the pressure of competing for life-changing money. Robertson admitted that the money will drastically change his life, but he insisted he wasn't particularly nervous about the stakes. In fact, when OutKick OutDoors asked him what winning would mean before the results were officially announced, he had something else on his mind. "I want that damn trophy. It's what I want," he said. "Everybody talking about the 1.25. Like, I want the money too, but I want to get my hands on that trophy." While Robertson's victory might have looked easy from the leaderboard, it took some unconventional strategy to get there. Rather than fishing the main lake, he traveled through the navigation lock at Old Hickory Dam to target smallmouth bass in the tailwater below the dam. Robertson discovered his productive fishing area during practice and made the gamble that the bigger fish would be there when it mattered. "If I hadn't found that spot, I wouldn't have won this thing," Robertson said. The strategy certainly paid off. Robertson caught the tournament's only 20-pound bag on Thursday, then added another strong day Friday to secure the top qualifying position for Saturday's championship. But his honey hole wasn't exactly a secret. MLF pro Ron Nelson had also discovered productive water below the dam, and the two anglers spent much of the tournament fishing in close proximity. The two were among just a handful of competitors who ventured below the dam. In fact, Nelson deliberately avoided casting into the area where Robertson had been catching his fish, despite the enormous money at stake. And Robertson noticed. "Never knew Ron before this week. Got to know him real well, and dude, there is not another person in the world with as much integrity as him," Robertson told OutKick OutDoors during Saturday's weigh-in. "Anybody else fishing for this kind of money, he saw where I was catching a lot of fish, and he never came in on me." As water levels and currents shifted, the two eventually ended up sharing the productive area. But tournament rules prohibited them from discussing how many fish they had caught, creating an unusual dilemma. Robertson said he had no idea Nelson was struggling to fill his limit and felt terrible afterward. "If I'd knew Ron only had two ... I wouldn't even have pulled up down there," he said. "I feel awful about it." Robertson had been hoping they could both walk away with enormous paydays. "I was wanting us to win $1.75 million from down there," he said. Nelson, who ultimately finished sixth and earned $75,000, had equally kind words for his new friend. "Matt's a heck of a dude," Nelson told OutKick OutDoors. "I don't know him, but I got a new friend now, I guess." Nelson explained that changing currents had made it difficult to relocate the school of smallmouth he'd found the previous day. And he believed Robertson would have given him more room had he known how badly Nelson needed a few additional bites. "If he knows I'd needed a couple bites, he'd have probably slid over," Nelson said. The mutual respect was especially fitting for a tournament that brought together competitors from rival professional fishing circuits. Robertson and Nelson had never met before The Champions. Three days later, they'd walked away with substantial paychecks and a new friendship. Robertson was also quick to credit his faith and a little help from the lock operators for his historic victory. He recalled learning that the navigation lock was undergoing maintenance early in the tournament, threatening to keep him from reaching the area where he'd found his fish. Knowing how much his strategy depended on getting through, he said he prayed for the lock to reopen. When he checked his phone, he discovered the lockmaster had already tried calling him twice. The lock was open, and the operators were waiting for him. "From that moment, I was stressing before that," Robertson recalled. "And after that, I just ... gave it all to Him and let it go." Once on the water, Robertson relied on his familiarity with the Tennessee River and its navigation locks to adjust to changing conditions. He caught his winning fish using a small swimbait on a jighead. The victory capped a tournament that also saw Bassmaster's Team Stars defeat MLF's Team Stripes for the team championship, giving the inaugural event both individual and team bragging rights. Robertson had nothing but praise for WBE and CEO Brian Bird, saying the organizers had paid attention to both the big details and the small ones. "This is the Super Bowl of bass fishing. I don't care what anybody says," Robertson declared. And while he can now claim the sport's richest championship prize, Robertson says he doesn't plan to change who he is. A new vehicle for his wife? Absolutely. A couple more trailers? Already on the shopping list. But moving out of his own? Not a chance.

Maybe you've gone through several tests, only to hear that your doctor still isn't sure what's causing your symptoms. That uncertainty can be exhausting, especially when you want answers. Now, Microsoft says its new artificial intelligence system could help doctors solve some of medicine's toughest diagnostic puzzles. And the early numbers are impressive. In a study published on Oct. 22 in the journal Science, Microsoft's AI diagnostic system correctly identified 83% of complex medical cases, compared with 36% for generalist physicians who could consult reference materials. That's more than twice the accuracy under the study's testing conditions. However, there's an important catch behind those numbers. The research took place in a simulation, and the doctors weren't specialists working together on difficult cases. Still, the findings raise a fascinating question about how artificial intelligence could change your next visit to the doctor. Missed CyberGuy LIVE?

AI MAY SPOT DEADLY HEART RISK IN A ROUTINE ECG Microsoft calls its technology the MAI Diagnostic Orchestrator, or MAI-DxO. The system uses multiple AI agents that work together much like a panel of doctors discussing a difficult medical case. Instead of jumping to an immediate answer, the AI begins with limited information. It asks follow-up questions and considers which medical tests might help identify the problem. Then, its AI agents challenge one another's conclusions as new information becomes available. Think about someone who has unexplained fatigue and several unusual lab results. A doctor might consider one possible explanation before ordering additional tests. Microsoft's system can examine multiple possibilities and reconsider its initial assessment as the evidence changes. That approach could prove especially useful when symptoms overlap across different diseases. According to Microsoft's published findings, researchers evaluated the technology using 304 complex medical cases from The New England Journal of Medicine . These cases often involve unusual illnesses that challenge even experienced physicians. The results were striking. MAI-DxO correctly diagnosed approximately 83% of those cases. Generalist physicians working alone achieved 36% accuracy when they could use reference materials. Without those resources, their accuracy dropped to 22%. Researchers also tested the system using historical emergency department cases. There, the AI achieved approximately 80% accuracy, compared with 47% for the physician comparison group. Before anyone starts canceling doctor appointments, there's something important to understand about this research. The physicians in the comparison were generalists, including primary care doctors and general internists. They evaluated cases individually, even when they had access to medical reference materials. However, hospitals typically involve specialists when patients develop particularly difficult medical problems. Those specialists may work together and review additional evidence before reaching a diagnosis. Microsoft did not directly compare its system against teams of medical specialists. There's another important detail. Microsoft's AI was evaluated across 304 complex cases, while physicians worked through a smaller set of 56 cases held out from the system's development process. That means the headline percentages don't represent two groups completing exactly the same number of cases. That limits how broadly we can interpret the findings. The researchers also relied on existing medical cases rather than treating patients in real time. While those cases provide a useful challenge, actual medical care can be far more unpredictable. Patients sometimes struggle to describe symptoms. Medical records may contain gaps, and physical examinations can reveal clues that never appear in a written case summary. The simulation also relied on an AI system to supply information from existing case reports. When certain details weren't available, it could generate plausible responses. That helped researchers create diagnostic conversations, although those interactions cannot fully reproduce the uncertainty doctors encounter with actual patients. Furthermore, reaching the correct diagnosis represents only part of caring for someone. Doctors must determine the appropriate treatment and understand how individual circumstances affect medical decisions. The study's authors also work for Microsoft, making independent testing especially important before hospitals consider relying on the technology for patient care. For now, Microsoft's results show how well the technology performed under controlled testing conditions. Whether it can deliver similar benefits during everyday patient care remains an open question. HIDDEN CLUES COULD HELP PREDICT A WOMAN’S BREAST CANCER RISK YEARS IN ADVANCE You might be wondering how this technology compares with ChatGPT or other AI assistants that already answer medical questions. The underlying AI models play a major role in Microsoft's system. In fact, the researchers tested models developed by OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and other companies. One finding deserves attention. OpenAI's GPT-5 correctly solved approximately 79% of the complex cases when researchers used a basic prompt without Microsoft's orchestration system. Adding MAI-DxO increased accuracy to approximately 83%. That's an improvement, although the underlying AI model already performed remarkably well. With the newer GPT-5.5 model, the gains were larger on complex cases. Microsoft's orchestration system raised accuracy from approximately 72% to nearly 87% in that comparison. However, the additional system provided little improvement on emergency department cases using the strongest models. These results suggest that much of the diagnostic capability comes from powerful AI models themselves. Microsoft's approach can improve its performance further, depending on the model and medical problem. Meanwhile, Microsoft CEO of AI Mustafa Suleyman has described the company's larger ambition as "medical superintelligence." The idea involves developing AI systems capable of eventually exceeding today's strongest medical teams in clinical reasoning and coordination. Microsoft is also collaborating with Mayo Clinic on AI technology that could eventually help clinicians anticipate how a patient's medical condition might develop. Those ambitions extend well beyond the capabilities demonstrated in the current study. Anyone who has received a surprisingly expensive medical bill knows how quickly diagnostic testing can add up. Microsoft believes its technology could eventually help doctors make better decisions about which tests patients actually need. During the study, researchers assigned estimated costs to diagnostic procedures. They then measured whether the AI could reach accurate conclusions while avoiding unnecessary testing. In one cost-conscious configuration, MAI-DxO achieved approximately 81% accuracy on complex cases while generating an estimated $2,241 in diagnostic costs per case. The physicians using reference materials averaged approximately $4,725 in estimated diagnostic costs. However, some configurations designed to maximize AI accuracy generated higher testing costs. The savings depended partly on how researchers adjusted the system. It's important to understand what those dollar amounts represent. Researchers estimated the cost of diagnostic workups, including medical testing and standardized visit expenses. These figures do not represent actual patient bills or the cost of operating the AI. They're estimates based on the simulation, so researchers still need to determine whether the savings would hold up in real hospitals. Nevertheless, reducing unnecessary procedures while preserving diagnostic accuracy could offer significant benefits if future clinical trials confirm the results. The next challenge involves moving beyond simulated medical cases. Microsoft has announced a partnership with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston to evaluate MAI-DxO in clinical environments. Under the planned research, consenting patients will continue receiving standard medical care. They will also interact with Microsoft's AI system as researchers compare its recommendations with physicians' independent assessments. Importantly, doctors will remain responsible for patient treatment. The study should help researchers understand how well the AI performs when it encounters actual patients and the unpredictable circumstances of a busy hospital. Meanwhile, Microsoft faces competition from other technology companies pursuing similar goals. Google recently published a study in The Lancet involving its own conversational medical AI system, called AMIE. In that study, 98 patients interacted with Google's AI before urgent primary care appointments. Physicians monitored the conversations in real time, and none required a safety-related interruption under the study's predefined criteria. Participating clinicians also reported that the AI-generated information often helped them prepare for appointments. Although the research was relatively small, it provided an early look at how conversational AI might work alongside doctors. Microsoft's upcoming clinical evaluation will offer another opportunity to examine whether these systems can perform reliably outside controlled simulations. For now, Microsoft's AI diagnostic system remains a research technology. You cannot rely on it as a replacement for a medical appointment. However, these findings offer a possible preview of where health care could be headed. If AI systems continue improving, your doctor might eventually have access to a powerful digital assistant that can review difficult cases and suggest overlooked possibilities. That could be especially helpful for people who have spent months trying to understand unexplained symptoms. AI might also help clinicians evaluate test results more efficiently. In the future, that could reduce unnecessary procedures and potentially shorten the time patients spend waiting for answers. Still, accuracy alone should never determine whether a hospital adopts AI for patient care. Doctors need to understand when these systems make mistakes. Patients also deserve clear information about how their medical data gets used and who reviews AI-generated recommendations. We've previously reported on how more Americans are turning to AI for health advice. That growing interest makes careful use even more important. If you're already asking an AI chatbot about symptoms or medical test results, use its responses to prepare questions for your doctor. Avoid treating those responses as confirmed diagnoses. And before uploading medical records into any AI service, review how the company handles sensitive health information. Ultimately, the most useful role for this technology may be helping physicians reach better decisions while keeping patients involved in their care. Want to put AI to work for your own health? Watch the free replay of my CyberGuy LIVE class, 5 Ways AI Can Help You Get Better Healthcare at cyberguy.com/cyberguylive/classes/, where I share practical ways to prepare for doctor visits and make sense of complicated medical information. I find these results both exciting and a little unsettling. Anyone who has watched a loved one struggle through a difficult diagnosis knows how frustrating it can be to wait for answers. If AI can help doctors catch something they might otherwise miss, I'm all for it. But let's be careful about declaring AI better than doctors based on simulated cases. I want to see how this technology performs with actual patients before we put too much trust in it. What interests me most is the possibility of giving doctors another set of highly capable eyes. A second opinion can change everything, and AI could make that available much faster. Of course, protecting sensitive medical information needs to be part of the equation, too.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae72c1b726b22deeb693f43 Former Pentagon UFO chief disputes FBI black triangle sighting, says reports lack evidence te 2026-11-01T12:10:03.390Z Former Pentagon UFO chief disputes FBI black triangle sighting, says reports lack evidence The former head of the Pentagon's UFO investigation office is pouring cold water on a mysterious black triangular object reportedly spotted by FBI personnel, telling Fox News Digital that the newly released account lacks the evidence needed to determine what the witnesses actually saw. Sean Kirkpatrick, the former director of the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), said strange sightings detailed in recently declassified government records should be viewed through an evidence-based lens rather than as proof of something extraterrestrial. The records include a 2026 sighting involving FBI personnel who reported seeing a dark, nonreflective triangular object with no visible engines, exhaust or conventional propulsion system rise above a mountain ridge before rapidly disappearing into a canyon. NEW TRUMP UFO FILE DUMP INCLUDES MILITARY FOOTAGE OF MYSTERIOUS STAR-SHAPED OBJECT A separate AARO report described a matte-black triangular object that climbed about 200 to 300 feet above the ridgeline, hovered for roughly 20 seconds and then appeared to accelerate almost instantly. Kirkpatrick, who spent nearly 30 years in the Department of Defense and intelligence community, said the witnesses' FBI backgrounds alone are not enough to validate what they reported seeing. NASA CHIEF PULLS BACK CURTAIN ON TRUMP UFO FILES AFTER BIZARRE FINDS SURFACE IN BURIED FED RECORDS "There's a lot of people that like to point to folks as being credible witnesses and therefore their testimony must be taken at face value," Kirkpatrick told Fox News Digital. "And that is a classic case of authority bias." Kirkpatrick said the lack of photographs or other supporting evidence makes it difficult to determine what, if anything, the witnesses encountered. NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON DARES GOVERNMENT TO 'JUST SHOW THE ALIEN,' AS DISCLOSURE FERVOR CONTINUES TO GROW "Some of this is just, ‘hey, I saw something, I don't know what it is,’" Kirkpatrick said. "People sometimes have a tendency to fill that gap with very extreme beliefs that have time and again proven to be inaccurate and fallible." He pointed to advanced aerospace technology as one possible explanation for some triangular sightings, comparing them to reports involving the F-117 stealth aircraft before the technology became widely known. PENTAGON FILES REVEAL AGENTS' REPORTS OF 'ORBS LAUNCHING ORBS' NEAR SENSITIVE US SECURITY SITE AARO approached UAP reports by examining three broad possibilities, Kirkpatrick said: advanced technology used by a foreign adversary, ordinary objects or sensor effects that are misunderstood, or an extraterrestrial explanation. "You've got 3 very distinct buckets," Kirkpatrick said. PENTAGON’S NEW UFO FILE RELEASE LOGS NEAR-MISS AS ‘SUPER-HEATED’ ORBS APPROACH US HELICOPTER Each possibility has specific signatures that investigators can compare against data collected from a sighting, he explained. "When you get data from an observation, actual data, not just a story, you compare that data to those signatures," Kirkpatrick said. UFO INVESTIGATOR WARNS TRUMP DISCLOSURE COULD HAND SENSITIVE MILITARY SECRETS TO CHINA, RUSSIA "None of the data that we saw and reviewed and analyzed matches an alien hypothesis theory," he added. Most of the cases his office examined involved ordinary objects or phenomena that sensors were not designed to recognize. A small number showed signs of possible foreign adversary involvement and were referred to national security officials for further investigation. SECOND BATCH OF UFO FILES SET TO BE RELEASED AFTER LAWMAKER TEASED ‘HOLY CRAP’ MOMENT But the word "unresolved," which appears in government UAP records, does not necessarily mean investigators encountered something inexplicable, Kirkpatrick cautioned. "When we say a case is unresolved, it generally means there is no data or there is insufficient data to actually analyze it," Kirkpatrick said. "And so you can't conclude one way or the other." LONG-HIDDEN UFO INFORMATION AT CENTER OF TRUMP PUSH TO FREE FORMER OFFICIALS Investigators may have an idea of what an object likely was based on similar cases, he said, but without sufficient raw data, they cannot reach a definitive conclusion. Kirkpatrick said some cases released publicly as unresolved had previously been resolved by AARO. "Many of these cases, we did resolve, and I even briefed several of them to Congress with the answers and what they were and what they were likely to be," Kirkpatrick said. He said Pentagon leadership directed AARO to remove language explaining what investigators had determined before some cases were released publicly as unresolved. "Pentagon leadership had told AARO to remove all of the resolution language and put these cases out as unresolved," Kirkpatrick said. "Letting, and I quote, ‘the people make up their own mind,’ which is the absolute worst thing that you could do because all you've done is continue to just feed the flames of conspiracy with a whole bunch of nonsense." Kirkpatrick did not specify when the directive was issued or which Pentagon leaders were involved. The War Department separately told Fox News Digital that it is not providing assessments of the newly released files, allowing the public to reach its own conclusions. "We are not providing any comment or assessment on the files overall or on any specific file, so that the American people can make up their own minds regarding the files," a War Department official said on background. The department also confirmed that images accompanying the FBI triangular-object report were illustrations rather than photographs of the object itself. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Kirkpatrick said "unidentified" carries a different meaning than "unresolved," though the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Read the report here: "Unidentified generally means we can see and characterize an object and we have data to support that characterization, but we don't know what it is," he said. He pointed to objects shot down over North America following the discovery of a Chinese surveillance balloon in 2023 as examples of objects that were initially unidentified before investigators determined they were balloons.

One of his children has spina bifida, and the family stays in Colorado because Medicaid covers her needs better than anywhere else. An extra $6,000 would go a long way toward helping care for her. A mother who works at a lumber company, married to a house painter whose work slows every winter, has six children and a seventh on the way. She once assumed Catholic school was only "for rich people." Another mother started a florist business to help pay tuition. Three of her children attend a Catholic school in Denver, but she could not afford preschool there for her youngest, who now attends a Lutheran preschool in the state program. STEVE MOORE, ED POZZUOLI: STOP FUNDING SCHOOL SYSTEMS. LET THE MONEY FOLLOW THE CHILD "I’m choosing just a faith," she says, "and here I’m being punished for that." A fourth parent took a lower-paying job at her children’s parish school for a tuition discount, and she has watched families leave because of the cost of pre-K. THE SUPREME COURT IS BACK. THESE FIVE CASES COULD RESHAPE AMERICAN LIFE I filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on behalf of these Catholic families in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy, which the court will hear on Nov. 3. Dan and Lisa Sheley, parents who joined the Archdiocese of Denver and two parishes in challenging the state in court, tell a similar story. The Sheleys have seven children, five already at St. Mary’s, and have spent thousands of dollars out of pocket on a faith-based preschool education the state will not help fund. Colorado’s "universal" preschool program was supposed to help families like them. It doesn’t, and the reason is a single clause. To participate, a school must promise "equal opportunity," a provision that covers sexual orientation and gender identity, and Catholic schools cannot agree to it without abandoning church teaching on the nature of marriage, human sexuality and identity. Colorado never has to say "Catholic." It only has to write a rule that Catholic schools cannot meet. DEMOCRATS AIM TO KILL SCHOOL CHOICE FROM WISCONSIN TO THE REST OF THE US America has seen that move before, under the Blaine amendments, and they are back. In 1875, at a time of great anti-Catholic bigotry, Speaker of the House James G. Blaine proposed a constitutional amendment barring public money from "sectarian" schools. The real target was Catholic immigrants. The public schools of the day were Protestant, with daily instruction, prayers and hymns built around the King James Bible. Catholic families that sought instruction for their children in their faith tradition built schools of their own. Blaine’s amendment passed the House overwhelmingly and fell just short in the Senate. The states took up the cause, and roughly three dozen wrote versions into their constitutions. None said "Catholic." None needed to. As Justice Clarence Thomas observed in Mitchell v. Helms (2000), it was an open secret that "sectarian" was code for "Catholic." Colorado has built the modern version. Its program gives eligible 4-year-olds a benefit worth around $6,000 a year at the school their parents choose. The price of participation is the "equal opportunity" clause, which Catholic schools cannot pay. So they are out. MARINE TURNED HOMESCHOOL MOM SUES OREGON DISTRICT OVER DENIED REIMBURSEMENT FOR CHRISTIAN CURRICULUM The Supreme Court has spent recent years undoing the Blaine legacy. In Trinity Lutheran (2017), Espinoza (2020) and Carson (2022), it held that once a state offers a public benefit, it cannot disqualify schools for being religious or for practicing their faith. Colorado’s mandate does the same work in modern vocabulary. Many preschools are willing to accept the state’s terms. But those whose faith includes a view of marriage, sex and the human person the state rejects cannot. And Colorado’s rules bend for everyone else. Providers may serve only children with disabilities, only low-income children, only children of color, only gender-nonconforming children or only the LGBTQ+ community, and officials can grant further exceptions case by case. But there is no flexibility for Catholic schools. The lawmakers who built the program expected faith-based preschools to be part of it. GOV KATHY HOCHUL SIGNS NEW YORK ONTO TRUMP'S SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAM DESPITE TEACHERS UNION OPPOSITION The cost of exclusion is measurable. Roughly 1,500 children across 30 schools have been shut out. Enrollment in Catholic preschools has dropped by about 20%. Two preschools have closed. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The request before the Supreme Court is narrow. Colorado already makes room for providers whose missions call them to serve particular communities. It can make room for Catholic ones. In Masterpiece Cakeshop (2018), 303 Creative (2023) and Chiles (2026), the Supreme Court rebuked Colorado for its intolerance. The justices should tell the state again that the guarantees of the Constitution don’t collapse under the pressure of ideology. A state that offers families support for private education must not close the doors to Catholic schools committed to being Catholic. The Blaine amendments were a stain on American law. They should not return under a new label.

Andrew Miller, who raised six children while working in the trades, said the rapid expansion of data centers is creating lucrative opportunities for young workers seeking financial independence without a traditional four-year college degree. "You don't have the debt that you incur in college," Miller told Fox News Digital inside one of Northern Virginia's largest data centers. He also explained the one of the reasons why Northern Virginia is one of the wealthiest enclaves in the U.S. is "directly linked to data centers and data center development." Miller claimed areas that reject the data center boom — like California — are seeing wealth leave the state. AMERICA’S NEW BLUE-COLLAR JOB BOOM IS ONE NOBODY SAW COMING — AND IT’S JUST GETTING STARTED Miller said thanks to the explosion in the industry, electricians can earn six-figure salaries after completing their training, noting: "That is life changing to a 22, 23 year old individual." "They cannot produce enough electricians fast enough," he said. "I have never been without work in all my career even through recessions." While Miller acknowledged that the federal government's presence in Northern Virginia has historically helped sustain employment, he said the rapid expansion of data centers is expected to create even greater demand. "Now with data centers expanding it's going to just increase the demand for our trade," he said. Northern Virginia has earned the nickname "Data Center Alley" for its massive concentration of data centers, with Loudoun County at the heart of the nation's rapidly expanding AI infrastructure. As of March 2026, more than 230 data centers had been built or were under construction in the county, with another 116 projects in the pipeline. INSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD LIVING ON THE EDGE OF AMERICA’S TECH FRONTIER Bill McGraw of electrical contractor J.E. Richards said apprenticeship programs offer an alternative to traditional college degrees, allowing participants to receive classroom instruction while gaining paid, hands-on experience. McGraw said apprentices accepted into a program through International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 26 can start at approximately $27 to $28 an hour, even without previous experience. At the journeyman level, McGraw cited wages of approximately $62 an hour, equivalent to nearly $129,000 annually based on a 40-hour workweek year-round, before overtime. Don Slaiman said Local 26's hiring hall has grown from fewer than 9,000 workers to more than 17,500 amid Northern Virginia's data center boom. IT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO GET INSIDE THIS MASSIVE TEXAS DATA CENTER — HERE'S WHAT WE SAW The demand extends beyond construction, with electricians needed for ongoing maintenance, equipment upgrades and infrastructure improvements. "There's always continuous work there," McGraw said. The economic benefits also reach surrounding communities. Miller said a single data center construction project can employ as many as 2,000 craft workers, generating business for local restaurants, housing providers and other services. "Those craft workers are gonna need a place to eat, sleep. They're gonna live in the community," Miller said. With artificial intelligence accelerating demand for new facilities, Slaiman said the growing industry offers workers a path to financial stability and opportunities to support their families. "We're going to need more data centers and we're going to build them and we are going to give great careers to folks," Slaiman said, adding that those jobs can help workers "raise a family and live the American dream."

None of the seven men have been criminally charged. Hochul signed an executive order in October assigning New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor to investigate the case.

He’s had a prolific career both in the NFL and as a television sports analyst, and has built a reputation as a "tough guy." "People think, well, if you’re dealing with depression — I’m not dealing with depression right now," Bradshaw said. The Hall of Fame quarterback said depression often "rears its ugly head," but he stresses that it doesn’t rob him of his personality. Bradshaw describes it as a sickening feeling that comes over him at times and is challenging to snap out of. In "Looking for Terry," he wants readers, especially men, to be more vulnerable about their emotional struggles. Women might be more likely to get help, he said, but men often turn instead to "a few drinks and some drugs." US SOCCER LEGEND LANDON DONOVAN OPENS UP ON MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES, REDEFINING SUCCESS One of Bradshaw’s most challenging bouts with depression came during the 1999 Super Bowl in Miami, where he was working as a broadcaster. He told Fox News co-host Brian Kilmeade that he couldn’t get out of bed. He said his depression can emerge like a "demon in the night" during times of stress, family issues or when he is tired. Today, he has someone to lean on in his wife, Tammy. She even has a name for his depression: Roy. "She says to me, ‘Is Roy showing his ugly head?’" he explained. "I say yeah, and then we start talking about it, and I’m telling you, it’s like the greatest gift in the world just to have someone you can share that with."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae72061726b22deeb693d42 Colombia's 'El Tigre' takes fight to cartels as Trump alliance takes shape te 2026-11-01T11:20:01.751Z Colombia's 'El Tigre' takes fight to cartels as Trump alliance takes shape President Abelardo de la Espriella means business when it comes to his war against the cartels. Colombia's new president, known by the nickname of ‘El Tigre’, was voted in on a law and order ticket and so far his actions in fighting the cartels are seemingly paying dividends — not just in Colombia but in Washington too. Recently, he arrived at the Barranquilla police command around the early hours of the morning as 587 police officers and soldiers raided 50 locations across the Caribbean port city and its suburbs in Operation Blindaje 360. A few days earlier, domestic Colombian news outlets had widely publicized a recording intercepted by Colombian police of "Keko", the alleged leader of a gang called "Los del Freseo" boasting that de la Espirella had nothing on him. "The Tiger's got nothing. Let him come out, and we'll put lead in him," Keko allegedly said on the recording. Then, before dawn, Colombia's president had tracked him down and was face to face with him, all caught on tape. According to a video released by his presidential office, El Tigre told Keko the gang leader was "a tough guy on the phone… but the look of the fear on his face matched that of his many victims". The sweep ended with 72 arrests. ANTI-CARTEL HARDLINER CHANNELS TRUMP IN BID TO END COLOMBIA'S LEFTIST ERA IN PIVOTAL ELECTION The theatrics played to a large audience who long argued that former leftist Gustavo Petros’s policy of pursuing engagement with drug traffickers and through conversation and peace talks had left Colombia more vulnerable to organized crime and further articulation between Colombian and Venezuelan cartels that had been dominating the space left by the power vacuum which emerged from effective law-enforcement control. His government is also seeking to reverse former President Gustavo Petro’s "total peace" policy, which pursued negotiations with several armed organizations. Before taking office, de la Espriella announced that he would dismantle key elements of the policy and reactivate arrest warrants against members of illegal armed groups. Nearly three months into his term, the 48-year-old lawyer has scrapped his leftist predecessor's "total peace" talks, ordered every armed group treated as a terrorist organization and claims more than 32,000 arrests. He is doing it arm in arm with Washington. A dual U.S.-Colombian citizen who lived in Miami before running for president, he has brought Colombia into President Donald Trump's anti-cartel coalition. Last month, he personally handed a guerrilla boss accused of supplying Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel to DEA agents with his hands and feet shackled. The prisoner, Geovany Andrés Rojas, alias "Araña," is alleged to have led the "Comandos de la Frontera" dissidents and now faces narco-terrorism charges in Southern California. "The option of dialogue is completely exhausted," de la Espriella told troops after his Aug. 7 inauguration. In an Oct. 12 address, he put the tally at 32,503 arrests, 33 ringleaders taken out of action and 679 drug-production sites destroyed or disabled. He has signed more than 100 extradition orders, including five for former armed-group peace negotiators wanted in the U.S. whose handovers the previous government had frozen. ‘DONROE’ DOCTRINE AND CONSERVATIVE VICTORIES SQUEEZE CARTELS IN LATIN AMERICA The offensive reaches deep into the countryside, where conflict monitor ACLED counted August as the deadliest month for clashes between security forces and armed groups since it began tracking Colombia in 2018.  In late August he warned FARC dissident chief Iván Mordisco: "When you least expect it, a bomb is going to fall on you." Two days later, he walked among the bagged bodies of 23 suspected dissidents at an army base in Guaviare, and troops killed the top commander of a paramilitary-rooted trafficking group in La Guajira. Colombia became the 19th member of Trump's Shield of the Americas coalition in August, and War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Bogotá had authorized "joint military operations to destroy terrorists and terror networks domestically." The administration has pledged $1 billion in security aid, pending congressional approval, and Marine Gen. Francis Donovan, head of U.S. Southern Command, has toured Colombian bases. However, speaking on-camera to Fox News Digital, Colombian Vice President José Manuel Restrepo said while his country is embracing President Donald Trump’s push for a new security alliance across the Western Hemisphere, he drew a clear line on the role American forces would play inside Colombia, saying Colombian troops — not U.S. forces — will carry out operations against the country’s armed groups. PENTAGON SENDS HUNDREDS OF ARMY TROOPS TO LATIN AMERICA FOR TRAINING AS DRUG-TRAFFICKING CAMPAIGN EXPANDS According to Benjamin Gedan, a senior fellow and director of the Latin America Program at the Stimson Center in Washington who previously served as a South America Director in the White House, the last few years were an outlier: "For decades, the United States and Colombia closely cooperated to fight guerrillas and organized crime. Plan Colombia was celebrated by both Republicans and Democrats. The Colombian military is well-trained and battle-tested. Renewed close cooperation between Bogotá and Washington is a cornerstone of the renewed U.S. focus on security in Latin America," he said. "Still, flashy military strikes on criminal targets will not answer the mail. These groups are well-armed, well-funded, and thrive in regions with little state presence. Images of criminals in body bags may give the impression of forward progress after the failed strategy of Colombia’s last leader, much as videos of exploding speedboats have become the calling card of the Shield of the Americas. In both cases, a more sophisticated strategy is needed to deal lasting blows to criminal groups," Gedan argued. CRIME, KIDNAPPINGS AND DRONE ATTACKS FLAGGED IN US WARNING FOR BORDER REGION Oscar Palma, a professor of Security Studies at the University of Rosario in Bogotá, said it is still a little too early to assess the change in policies and affirm they will be fruitful within the Colombian context. "Beyond the policing acts themselves, there is the subjective feeling of security with debates within Colombian society on whether this open war strategy brings more or less security to the population. Many argue that the gangs are acting now more forcefully to defend their territories and business deals, while others believe that a strong police presence will eventually lead to less organized crime." Palma said there is a false dichotomy between having to choose all-out war or dialogue in order to achieve peace with groups such as the FARC and other gang leaders: "It is a fiction that you will come to zero combatants simply pursuing one strategy or the other—all-out war will never zero down those combating in the FARC and organized crime just as peace talks, especially if carried out in a misguided policy such as the one led by [Gustavo] Petros, will achieve real results." He said, "A better example is the strategy carried out by President [Juán Manuel] Santos during the dealings with the FARC, which led to a much safer Colombia: there were talks, but those were part of a bigger strategy of also fighting these groups with arms and bringing them to justice," he added. "There is a wave of freedom, a wave of democracy, a wave of free market… There is a new momentum for the region and we have to take advantage of that momentum. That's what I said to President Trump," Restrepo told Fox News Digital. "If we want to keep and preserve democracy in the region, the Shield of the Americas is going to be the best opportunity to do it."

Ilhan Omar's first public appearance since the raid on her home, Fox News Digital was given a tour of the mall where she reemerged in her home state. The footage provides a glimpse inside an enclave within America that is dominated by Somalis and Somali culture, and a gives a peak into the community that Omar represents in the U.S. House of Representatives. The mall isn't just a place for people to buy clothing, food and receive services, but is a "community hub" of mostly women entrepreneurs, as described by a female shop owner. "We're here today are Karmel Mall with brother Basim, to kind of browse through this amazing community, corridor that is full of amazing women," she told Fox News Digital, referring the Karmel Mall of Somalia's owner, Basim Sabri, who provided the tour. 'RADICAL LEFT LUNATIC' JUDGE TRUMP WANTED IMPEACHED TAKES UP ILHAN OMAR WARRANT FIGHT Sabri, a Gaza-born immigrant, came to the United States to study in Minneapolis. During that time, he became a real-estate investor and steadily grew his business in the years to come. Now, he's a local titan of industry and owns a vast real estate empire, which includes the mall and several apartment complexes in the area that house Somalis. He has political ties at all levels of local and state politics, and is friends with Omar. He also knew the Somali-born congresswoman's father. Fox News Digital interviewed him separately, days before the official tour of the mall. For most inside, English is the mall's second language. It's packed with stores offering electronic SIM cards to call overseas, foreign money exchanges and travel agencies arranging trips to the Middle East and East Africa. Vendors also sell gold, fragrances and traditional Somali fashion items, mostly for women. There are Somali barber shops, cafes, traditional Somali food vendors and henna tattoo shops. Sabri gave conflicting figures on the exact number of stores, once saying 900, and later 750. SOMALIS IN MINNESOTA UNLEASH FURY ON TRUMP AFTER FEDS RAID ILHAN OMAR'S DC HOME It sports a food court with a giant Somali flag painted on the ceiling, as well as Somali, Palestinian and American flags hanging from the walls. Many politicians use that space for press conferences, Sabri explained. It's also where Omar ate lunch with friends, supporters and state Attorney General Keith Ellison during Fox News Digital's foray into the mall when the lawmaker reemerged after casting an early ballot in her own reelection. Karmel Mall also has an Islamic weekend school for children, where they're taught the Quran and engage in recreational activities. While the mall isn't strictly for Somalis, few outside the Somali community were present when Fox News Digital toured. Fox News Digital was initially bucked by security upon attempting to enter and film inside the mall without Sabri's permission. The owner once banned Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey from the premises in February 2024 after he vetoed an Israel-Gaza ceasefire resolution passed by the City Council. OMAR’S MIDTERM RIVAL EXPOSES 'VICIOUS' SOMALI GANGS AMID IMMIGRATION PROBE INTO EMBATTLED REP "It is kind of an incubator setting where many businesses start in here, and then many succeed and grow and move somewhere else, to a bigger space," Sabri explained to Fox News Digital. He claims that the mall is a space where Somalis learn to integrate into the community. "You can see [the] Somalis not only integrating in the community, but also prospering," he said. "Somalis are very smart business individuals." But the mall's very name — the Karmel Mall of Somalia — along with the overwhelmingly Somali culture inside, raise questions about whether the group is actually assimilating into American society. WORKING-CLASS AMERICANS SAY THEIR TOWN IS THE NEXT DEARBORN — AND THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH Steven Camerota is the director for research at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). He pointed Fox News Digital to a CIS report published in December of last year that describes Somalis as a "struggling group." The report shows that more than half of children who live in the homes of Somali-born immigrants in Minnesota live in poverty, compared to only 8% of children living in homes of native-born Minnesotans. Among Somali-born immigrants who have lived in the United States for more than a decade, half cannot speak English "very well." The report says that 89% of Somali households receive some form of welfare, and 39% don't have high school diplomas, compared to only 8% of the native population. Camerota argued that across America, assimilation among various foreign-born groups, including Somalis, has dropped, though today's immigration numbers are about the same they were during America's first great wave of immigration. In the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, immigrations from across the world flooded the United States. During that time, immigrants comprised about 15% of America's population, on par with todays numbers. After World War I, restrictive immigration policies that lasted until the 1960s took effect. In more recent history, immigration has ramped up to the tune of one million legal immigrants per year entering the United States, Camerota said. MINNESOTA SENATE HOPEFUL WARNS THREAT LEVEL RISING AMID RASH OF SOMALI GANG CRIME, TERROR PLOT "So, there are three big things about modern immigration that you can argue greatly hinder assimilation, and it has much less to do with the immigrants, and a lot more to do with just modern conditions," he told Fox News Digital. "The first is technology. You can fly home and visit home for the holidays if you want. In a way that just wouldn't have been possible in 1900, and in terms of costs." Camerota noted that the internet allows people access to constant news from home, and the constant ability to stay connected with family and friends via phone and video calls. "So this technology, travel and communications is fundamentally different today than in the past. And that likely means that the connection with the home country doesn't become as attenuated as quickly as it would have," he said. The attitudes of those who Camerota characterizes as "elites," in academia, government, media and other institutions has also changed. He said there are now dueling theories about the what exactly America is that could be contributing to a lack of assimilation. FORMER MN STATE TROOPER TEARS INTO DEMS AS SOMALI GANG VIOLENCE TERRORIZES MINNESOTA: ‘WHERE IS ILHAN OMAR?’ "So is America essentially a magnificent historical project of democracy and equality and republican government, or is it essentially — most of that's a sham and it's really a racist, sexist, homophobic [and] classist society?" he said. "The immigrants are arriving in a country in many ways that received both those messages, and so this elite attitude which permeates down is just so different than the world of the last great wave of immigration and almost certainly matters a great deal." Essentially, Camerota argued, if immigrants adopt the narrative that America is a fundamentally flawed nation, there is little reason for them to assimilate. "The word assimilation itself is seen as a bad word in many circles. The idea that immigrants are supposed to shed their their old culture and become American is now seen as a kind of for some — I don't want to say universally for all — but some fraction of it at least, as an undesirable Anglo conformity," he continued. "We are living in a country that can't really agree itself about its own history, let alone agree on what it wants from the immigrants." The third important fact to assimilation in Camerota's mind is the sheer number of immigrants coming to the United States. ALARMING FRAUD TREND PUTS SMALL-TOWN MOSQUE WITH INDUSTRY AND FOREIGN GOVT TIES IN FOCUS: ‘OUR MOTHERLAND NOW’ "The last point is numbers," he said. "So, we're at a record high now, right? 15% of the population is foreign born. It's matched the levels of between 1890 and 1910 ... during the last peak of the last great wave. But the one question then has to be asked, what happened then?" He said the immigration restriction of the mid 20th-century necessarily resulted in assimilation, as immigrants could not endlessly build enclaves for more and more foreign-born residents, as is happening today. "I think it's pretty clear it likely played a very big role in facilitating the assimilation of the immigrants," he said, suggesting that a similar immigration restriction could have the same effect if implemented now. Sabri has faced troubles of his own. In 2005, he was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for bribing a local Minneapolis public official. He told Fox News Digital in the first interview about his time in prison, which included a brief stay at the infamous Federal Correctional Institution, Leavenworth in Kansas, in colorful detail. In that interview, he also insisted that the mall is for everyone. "But my experience is that Somalis are very, very intelligent and extremely hard-working people," he said. "So, I would invite anybody to come into the mall, and know that there are many people doing a great job and making a good living, and learning the American dream, and doing business, and opening businesses that eventually tend to be very successful for them." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae71e0a726b22deeb693c89 JOHN NAGEL: Ilhan Omar, my opponent, had a choice and picked political theater te 2026-11-01T11:10:02.666Z JOHN NAGEL: Ilhan Omar, my opponent, had a choice and picked political theater Days before an election, with Minnesotans voting on crime, prices and the future of their neighborhoods, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar had to decide who she would stand beside. She chose the far-left streamer, Hasan Piker. This is a man who said "America deserved 9/11." He called Hamas "a thousand times better" than Israel and said he would vote for Hamas "every single time." He called Orthodox Jews "inbred," waved off Hamas’s treatment of women and gay people as domestic policy he doesn’t care about, and warned this summer that if American Jews keep supporting Israel, someone "is going to come around and take action." Omar knew all of it. Everyone did. LEFTIST STREAMER TRIGGERS FURY AFTER MOCKING 'FUNNY' INJURIES TO ICE AGENTS AT ILHAN OMAR EVENT: ‘DISGUSTING’ Before Monday night, when she appeared for a live conversation and Q&A event in Minneapolis titled "I'm the Host Now!", the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas called her decision to participate "a betrayal of Jewish Minnesotans." Her district includes St. Louis Park, long the center of Jewish life in this state. Her own party’s Jewish caucus said Piker’s brand of hate has no place in Minnesota. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, called his statements reckless and unacceptable. Rep. Angie Craig, Rep. Betty McCollum, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and state Sen. Ron Latz all spoke out. Democratic leaders privately urged her to cancel. Omar’s answer? Her campaign said the Democratic Party is a "big tent" — and she walked out on stage on Oct. 26, anyway. Once there, Piker called Republicans "terrorists." Omar called the GOP the "pedophile protection party." ILHAN OMAR'S RADICAL STREAMER ALLY RALLIES WITH EMBATTLED LAWMAKER AFTER DC HOME RAID Let’s be clear about what this was. Not an old clip dug up by an opposition researcher. Not a careless remark from a decade ago. It was a deliberate decision, made over the objections of her own party and her own Jewish constituents, at an event built to turn out votes, hosted by state Sen. Omar Fateh, a member of the Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America. Rep. Omar didn’t stumble into this. She calculated that a sold-out crowd was worth more than the trust of the Jewish families she represents. That isn’t a lapse in judgment. It is her judgment. And it fits. This is a congresswoman who has already had to apologize for trafficking in antisemitic tropes, who treats half the country as an enemy and calls it courage. WHO IS HASAN PIKER? MEET THE FAR-LEFT STREAMER WHO IS STIRRING UP CONTROVERSY AND DIVIDING DEMOCRATS I spent 30 years with the Minnesota State Patrol. In law enforcement, you learn that character shows in what someone does after they’ve been warned: whom they trust, what they tolerate, whether they change course or double down. Omar was warned. She doubled down. Minnesota’s Fifth District deserves better. The district is home to families worried about violent crime, grocery bills, rent and whether their kids will have the opportunities they did. It is also home to immigrants who came here because they believe in America and to Jewish Minnesotans who should never have to wonder whether their own congresswoman takes threats against them seriously. SEE IT: TOP DEM OPERATIVE DRAWS LINE AT ‘DEPLORABLE’ HASAN PIKER AFTER TOUTING PARTY’S ‘BIG TENT’ During my time with the State Patrol, I never asked anyone’s party before responding to a crash. Public service means serving everyone — including the people who didn’t vote for you. I’m a Republican, and I won’t pretend otherwise. I believe the border must remain secure, violent criminals and fraudsters must be held accountable, families need relief from the cost of living, and police officers deserve support, not contempt. I believe America is worth defending. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION But I don’t believe the people who disagree with me are terrorists. You can fight hard for your principles without calling millions of your fellow citizens enemies — and without sharing a microphone with a man who says his country deserved to be attacked. Ilhan Omar has had years to show Minnesota what kind of representative she is. Last Monday, she answered the question herself. Now voters get to answer it. We can choose public safety over political theater, accountability over excuses, and respect for our neighbors over endless division. Ilhan Omar made her choice. On Nov. 3, the Fifth District gets to make ours. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae71252726b22deeb6938a9 Midterm voters reveal what's driving them to the polls — but what they're voting against may matter more te 2026-11-01T10:20:02.439Z Midterm voters reveal what's driving them to the polls — but what they're voting against may matter more With just two days until Americans head to the polls, voters from across the country revealed that their midterm decisions may be driven more by frustration with what they oppose than by support for what they believe in. "The Democrats down the line because Trump is an idiot," one voter from Colorado said when asked by Fox News Digital how he plans to vote. "I'm a Democratic voter," Lucy from Washington, D.C., said. "I am sick of the administration. I have been very upset about what's happening to this city and this area and this country — all the lies." TRUMP'S NOT ON THE BALLOT BUT SWING STATE VOTERS STILL CAST BALLOTS WITH MAGA IN MIND Despite President Donald Trump not appearing on the midterm ballot, most Democrat voters whom Fox News Digital spoke with cited his administration as their driving factor to vote for Democrats for this year’s congressional slate. "Democrats," Mark from Utah said about who he is voting for. "Because of corruption, cost of living, democracy. It doesn't seem like this administration cares about the Constitution. The president's enriching himself and the rest of the country is getting more poor." Control of Congress is at stake in the midterms, with Democrats seeking to gain enough seats to challenge Trump's legislative agenda during the remainder of his presidency. One Democrat voter even acknowledged his agreement with some Republican policies, but noted his opposition to Trump outweighs his right-leaning stances. "I generally vote Democrat," Jeremy from New York said. He continued, "It's funny because I agree with a lot of the Republican stances. I just feel like when you get behind someone who's unfortunately in charge, like the man that is, then this is something I can't really support." FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: AS IRAN LOOMS LARGE, CAN THE GOP KEEP THE FAITHFUL? Another voter said he voted for Trump and Republicans in previous elections, but has decided to vote Democrat in the upcoming election because he claims there was a lack of follow-through by the Trump administration. "After six years of Make America Great Again, we're not great again," one voter from Virginia said. "So I'm switching." Opposition wasn't limited to Democrat voters. The few voters who told Fox News Digital they planned to vote Republican also expressed concerns about the opposing party as major factors in their midterm decisions. "I'm voting Republican," Yago said. "The reason why is because I do not want to see socialism in this country. Socialism did nothing but destroy everything." "First off, just social policies," John from Illinois said about what’s motivating him to vote red. "I think that over the past couple of years, we've seen what the Democrats promote, as far as social policies go, and family policy, gender policy, all that stuff. I think particularly abortion, too." Other voters pointed to specific issues driving their decisions, including immigration enforcement, foreign policy, gun rights and the economy. "My main concern is probably just everything that's happening with ICE and DHS," Emily from Texas, who plans to vote Democrat, said. FOX NEWS POLL: MAJORITY SAYS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT HAS CROSSED THE LINE Another voter who pledged to support Republicans said his decision "comes down to gun control." "The Second Amendment protects your First [Amendment]," Nelson from Washington, D.C., said. "When it comes to foreign policy with helping out Israel and not giving any help to Palestine," Kamil from Washington said, "That's what's driving me to vote for the Democrats instead." For some Americans, the midterm elections are shaping up to be less about enthusiasm for either political party and more about opposition to the direction they believe the country is heading.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae70442726b22deeb693643 'Toxic cocktail' of renter protections destroyed $39M affordable housing investment as Dem cities follow suit te 2026-11-01T09:20:02.023Z 'Toxic cocktail' of renter protections destroyed $39M affordable housing investment as Dem cities follow suit Seattle's effort to protect renters allegedly helped destroy a $39 million investment meant to provide affordable housing, sending a 254-unit apartment complex that served lower-income residents into receivership. Now, its owners have scored a court victory in a battle that could influence similar fights in Philadelphia and other Democrat-led cities. The Washington Court of Appeals ruled Monday that GRE Downtowner LLC, the company behind Seattle's 254-unit Addison on Fourth affordable housing development, can proceed with claims that the city's sweeping rental regulations amounted to an unconstitutional taking of private property. GRE alleges the restrictions, including an ordinance requiring landlords to accommodate certain additional occupants without their consent, sent rent collections plummeting, triggered millions in losses and ultimately made the once-viable affordable housing investment financially unsustainable. The development operated under the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, which offers tax incentives to private investors in exchange for providing rent-restricted apartments to lower-income residents. Sean Flynn, executive director of the Rental Housing Association of Washington, explained that while such developments typically generate relatively modest profits, the federal tax credits make them financially attractive to investors, helping bring private money into affordable housing projects that might otherwise struggle to get built. Flynn, who is working with GRE Downtowner in its case against the City of Seattle, told Fox News Digital that the city's successive ordinances targeting landlords ultimately created a "toxic cocktail of legislation" that took a functioning affordable housing property and "destroyed it." PROPERTY OWNER ADVOCACY GROUPS PUSH BACK ON MAMDANI'S 'RENTAL RIPOFF REPORT,' PUBLIC DATABASE OF LANDLORDS According to court filings, GRE's investment initially proved financially viable, with the property generating positive cash flow from 2015 through 2018. But as Seattle enacted a series of ordinances restricting criminal-background checks, expanding tenants' ability to bring additional occupants into their apartments, limiting certain evictions and requiring relocation assistance following qualifying rent increases, GRE alleges its rent collections collapsed from 93.9% in 2018 to just 44.1% in 2023, contributing to nearly $5.8 million in cumulative operating losses. The financial deterioration ultimately culminated in a federal judge appointing a receiver in January 2026 to take control of the property following a mortgage default. "The policies they're passing are detrimental to the folks they're actually trying to help," Flynn warned, arguing that excessive restrictions on landlords ultimately hurt renters by discouraging housing investment. "No one will invest to build more housing if they believe that the government can come in and effectuate a taking – to take the property out from under them – and they have no legal recourse." OREGON DEMOCRATS PROPOSE 'RIGHT TO REST ACT' DECRIMINALIZING PUBLIC CAMPING AS HOMELESS CRISIS SURGES "What this decision says is government, you can regulate, you can regulate to your heart's content," Flynn added. "But if your regulations amount to the point of which you take my real property, I'm allowed to sue you for it." Ilya Somin, a George Mason University law professor specializing in constitutional law and property rights, told Fox News Digital that the ruling is more consequential than a routine procedural decision but cautioned against overstating its broader impact. "This is only moderately significant, but it's more significant than just a routine legal decision that only affects the people immediately involved," Somin said, explaining that courts in other states could consider the Washington ruling when weighing similar constitutional challenges. He also said the case could theoretically go to the U.S. Supreme Court, but said that was fairly unlikely. Seattle is hardly alone in imposing sweeping restrictions on landlords. San Francisco has long enforced rent controls and limits on evictions, and New York City expanded eviction protections in 2024 under the state's Good Cause Eviction law, limiting landlords' ability to remove certain tenants or refuse lease renewals while allowing renters to challenge excessive rent increases. Portland, Oregon, limits landlords' use of criminal histories when screening prospective tenants and requires relocation payments following certain rent increases of 10% or more. Philadelphia has also adopted restrictions involving criminal-history screening. These policies reflect a broader push to strengthen renters' rights in major Democrat-led cities, even as property owners raise concerns about the consequences of increasingly restrictive housing regulations. OBAMA-ERA MANDATE SLASHED AFTER BEING BLAMED FOR 'SKYROCKETING' HOUSING COSTS Flynn warned that the consequences of Seattle's housing policies extend well beyond Addison on Fourth, arguing that mounting restrictions have driven developers and smaller landlords away from Seattle — a city once bustling with residential construction. "Once upon a time in Seattle, you could stand from my office and you could see crane after crane after crane building housing," Flynn said. "They're gone, and they're not coming back." Flynn argued that the resulting decline in investment ultimately hurts ordinary renters, leaving them with fewer housing options and higher costs. "When you take the investment incentive out of providing a product, you get worse products at a higher cost," he said. "Investors listen and they vote with their feet. And as a result, there's less housing and the housing that is available is of lesser quality." NYC RENT BOARD DISSENTER WARNS MAMDANI-BACKED FREEZE COULD HURT AFFORDABLE HOUSING OVER TIME: 'SLOW BURN' GRE's lawsuit seeks compensation under a legal principle known as inverse condemnation, which allows property owners to pursue payment when they believe government actions have effectively taken or damaged their property without providing just compensation. GRE argues that Seattle's ordinances, individually and collectively, went so far in restricting its property rights that the city should be held financially responsible for the resulting losses. The Seattle City Attorney's Office told Fox News Digital that officials are reviewing the appellate ruling and weighing their next steps. "We haven't made a decision on an appeal yet," Chief of Staff Dan Nolte said in an email Thursday. "I believe the plaintiffs in this case deserve to win at least on that roommate provision," Somin told Fox News Digital, referring to Seattle's restrictions on landlords' ability to exclude certain additional occupants from rental properties. Somin pointed to the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid , which ruled that a California regulation requiring agricultural employers to allow union organizers onto their private property constituted a physical taking under the Fifth Amendment. He argued that Seattle's Roommate Ordinance raises a similar constitutional question because it requires landlords to accommodate additional occupants with whom they never entered into a rental agreement. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "I think the strongest per se argument is simply an argument against this provision of the ordinance, which says they have to take these people who they never made any contract with at all, never screened, and so on," Somin said. "The additional requirement to let them on their land is going beyond what's in the contract, and the same thing you know would apply here in the Seattle case." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae6ef2e726b22deeb693389 Report: Arizona School Districts Using Record Funding To Pay Administrators, Not Teachers te 2026-11-01T07:50:06.766Z Report: Arizona School Districts Using Record Funding To Pay Administrators, Not Teachers By Staff Reporter | A new report from the state indicates that school districts have declined to invest their record funding into their teachers. Instead, critics analyzing the report say, school districts have opted to pay more for their superintendents, unused buildings, and trips for administrators.  The Arizona Joint Legislative Budget Committee issued a report earlier this month estimating that Arizona public schools receive a record high of nearly $15,600 per student annually. Yet, estimates reflect the average Arizona teacher’s salary adjusted for inflation is more than $6,400 lower than it was in 2001.  Average teacher pay was more than $37,000 for the 2000-2001 school year, which would be more than $72,000 in today’s dollars; however, teachers made around $65,600 in 2025.  The auditor general’s office has reported on multiple occasions that districts are disproportionately allocating classroom site funding intended for teachers on non-instructional expenses.  Proposition 320 would require public school districts to spend at least 60% of their operational budget on direct instructional expenses. If passed, the proposition would allow districts below that 60% threshold to increase their instructional spending by 0.5% each year.  Districts who fail to comply would lose money from the classroom site fund at a rate of 25% in the first year, 50% in the second year, 75% in the third year, and 100% in the fourth and all future years of noncompliance.  The proposition allows the superintendent of public instruction to waive those penalties twice every 10 years, or up to three times if a district requests a second waiver more than four years after the first waiver.  School districts impacted by Proposition 320 would include those that serve at least 7,500 students and exist in a county of at least 500,000 people. Only Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal counties qualify for the latter criteria.  Approximately 94 out of 207 school districts in the state would be impacted by Proposition 320 if passed, according to an analysis by the Common Sense Institute of Arizona.  Organizations have polar opposite views on how the proposition would impact public school funding.  The Goldwater Institute, a Phoenix-based public policy and litigation organization and a supporter of Proposition 320, claims the proposition will improve teacher salaries by shrinking administrative costs.  “Simply put, Arizona taxpayers deserve better stewardship of their education dollars,” stated the Goldwater Institute in a press release.  Goldwater cited instances of what it called administrative “bloat,” such as the Dysart Unified School District spending nearly $500,000 to send nearly 200 employees to a luxury resort casino in Las Vegas for three-day training events three years in a row. The district then undertook what it determined to be a necessary cost-saving measure by eliminating bus routes to save the district around $500,000.  In another instance, the Arizona auditor general found that Baboquivari Elementary School District was spending wastefully, including its decision to spend $300,000 on a single two-day, out-of-state conference for employees. The organization also cited the high salary of the Tolleson Union High School District superintendent who attempted to push through an $80 million taxpayer-funded football stadium.  Save Our Schools Arizona, a Phoenix-based education advocacy organization and opponent of Proposition 320, claims the proposition will cut funding to schools. Opponents of the measure maintain that current administrative spending trends are not problematic, and that a one-size-fits-all approach to district spending would impose pressures on districts and jeopardize student support and school operations.  “[This is] a deceptive ballot measure aimed to defund critical public school services like transportation, sports, food services, and special education,” posted Save Our Schools Arizona on social media. The debate over Proposition 320 centers on whether requiring districts to devote a larger share of their budgets to classroom instruction would improve educational spending or limit districts’ ability to fund other services. Arizona voters will have the opportunity to decide whether to adopt the proposed spending requirements in the November election. AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

Following the unfortunate loss of starting quarterback Julian Sayin to an elbow injury during the Indiana game two weeks ago, the fate of the Buckeyes season rested on the arms of Luke Fahey and freshman Taven St. Clair. The nervousness around Columbus has been rampant since that day in Bloomington, and rightfully so given that Ryan Day had pinned his offensive hopes around the quarterback being able to disrupt opposing defenses with the Julian Sayin to Jeremiah Smith connection. GOOD LUCK, SEC: AUBURN AWOKE A MONSTER IN ATHENS, AND FLORIDA PAYS THE PRICE IN GEORGIA’S COCKTAIL BEATDOWN This pair opened up so many options for an offense that essentially forced opposing teams to decide on whether double-teaming the star wide receiver was worth the risk in losing a defender in the secondary. Even with 484 yards of total offense against USC on Saturday night, it was the offensive line that struggled to protect quarterback Luke Fahey, while also not capitalizing inside the red zone. You might ask whether one player is worth that much attention. To that, most college football fans would just implore you to "watch the tape" on the former Heisman Trophy leader coming out of the Indiana showdown that saw the Buckeyes leave Bloomington with a very important win. Now, a few weeks later, there are rightful questions about this Ohio State team moving forward over the next month, along with where the Big Ten stands as we await the first CFP rankings of the 2026 season. The answer to that question centered around the fact Ohio State had not scored a touchdown against USC through three quarters, and they looked like a squad who was lost on offense for a majority of this upset loss. OHIO STATE QB JULIAN SAYIN'S INJURY MAY COMPLETELY RESHAPE THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF RACE No, not right now after two weeks of preparation for the trip to Los Angeles. If anything, the Buckeyes look like a team that would be on the brink of missing the playoff tonight if Indiana were to have somehow won that intense showdown. So yes, Ohio State fans are clearly entering the panic mode of what could have been if Julian Sayin were to not have been injured. Also, let's not forget the other unfortunate part of this problem for the Buckeyes. Entering the matchup with Indiana, Jeremiah Smith was the proverbial leader in the clubhouse for the Heisman Trophy. Now, he's going to need plenty of superman-like efforts to have his name called in New York City next month, without a quarterback capable enough to get him the ball downfield. COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAOS: HISTORIC UPSETS, ARCH MANNING'S FIASCO, CLOCK CONTROVERSY AND CFP RAMIFICATIONS ARISE Sure, we know Smith is a man of high character and is more worried about the wins and losses. But, let's not act as though the situation isn’t a brutal dose of reality that his campaign might have ended in Bloomington. Fittingly, it was Jeremiah Smith who scored Ohio State's first touchdown of the night with 2:12 remaining in the game on a five-yard out in the end zone. As for Ohio State moving forward, there is nothing about their performance against USC that should give the CFP committee enough evidence to put them in the top-12 on Tuesday night. We all remember when Florida State was left out of the national championship game after Jordan Travis went down with a knee injury, right? No, we aren’t at that point just yet, but we're getting there. Over the next five weeks, Ohio State will face Northwestern, Oregon, Nebraska and Michigan. INDIANA SURVIVES MINNESOTA SCARE WITH SECOND STRAIGHT OVERTIME WIN TO KEEP NATIONAL TITLE DEFENSE ALIVE Are we going to act as though this Buckeyes offense is good enough to avoid another loss? Sure, you can make that argument, but Oregon and Northwestern are talented enough to beat them in Columbus, and Nebraska is so awkward that it could have a lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes defense isn’t strong enough to carry them through the month of November, especially if this is what they are going to get from the offensive side of the ball. And unfortunately, Jeremiah Smith and running back Bo Jackson can't do it all without a viable quarterback that oozes confidence. Give credit where it's due with this USC football team. Coming off a loss to Wisconsin this week, with reasonable conversations surrounding his job status with the Trojans, the talk of Riley coaching somewhere else next season started picking up enough that he could not avoid the questions over the past five days. Now, there is at least a path to the postseason, though it won't be an easy one. After a week off, USC will play Indiana on the road, followed by a game against Maryland, before ending the season with a crosstown showdown with UCLA. Can they run the table? Sure, if this is the type of performance we get over the next month. But, even with the win over Ohio State, it's still hard to trust the Trojans. They’re going to have to prove it.

This time, though, it was reported the 74-year-old actually ended things with 25-year-old Jordon Hudson over a year ago, per TMZ. They remain "committed to their business partnerships" and "remain close friends." Nonetheless, a game had to be played, and Belichick and UNC were certainly not thinking about his relationship status. They wanted to give Miami a run for their money. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Tar Heels came close to upsetting the Hurricanes, but they ran out of gas in the fourth quarter in a 38-35 loss to move to 4-4 on the season. Miami stayed undefeated, improving to 8-0 on the year and 6-0 in ACC play. No one expected Belichick's squad to be able to handle the Hurricanes, led by Mario Cristobal. But just as Hurricanes quarterback Darian Mensah continued his efficient play this season, Billy Edwards Jr. was matching him when the Tar Heels had the ball. Edwards threw for 341 yards on 28-of-34 through the air with four touchdown passes, including a 16-yard strike to Jordan Shipp to take a 21-17 lead — UNC’s first of the game — in the third quarter. From there, both teams were trading blows, and the lead, on the scoreboard. Miami responded with an 80-yard drive to retake their lead, 24-21, but UNC continued to fight on while crushing clock heading into the fourth quarter. Edwards led a 16-play, 75-yard drive capped with a touchdown run by Demon June from one yard out. There was a lot of time left in this ballgame, which Miami knew despite some shock of what UNC was doing to them at home. Mensah wasn’t fazed, though, as yet another touchdown drive came from the Hurricanes thanks to key catch-and-runs, including a 31-yard burst from star receiver Malachi Toney. Mark Fletcher Jr. regained the Miami lead with a two-yard run and 7:49 left on the clock. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The way this game was going, it seemed Belichick and UNC would have a chance if they were able to get the ball last. However, a grave error slammed the door shut on those chances. Edwards was strip-sacked by Marquise Lightfoot, and Miami recovered at the UNC 37-yard line. That was the defensive stop needed to swing the tides of momentum, and Mensah didn’t thwart that opportunity. Toney caught a nine-yard touchdown pass from his quarterback, and with a 10-point lead with 2:33 left to go, it was eventually the separation needed to leave Chapel Hill without Miami’s record being blemished. But it didn’t come without sweating until the end. UNC would score on the ensuing possession to make things interesting, as Edwards threw for his fourth touchdown of the game with 1:38 left to play. Then, needing to recover an onside kick, the Tar Heels actually came away with it — until a yellow flag was seen on the turf. Offsides was called. On the second try, UNC recovered again, but another flag negated it as a Tar Heels player hit the Miami player trying to recover the ball before crossing the necessary 10 yards. The third try was finally recovered by the Hurricanes, and they ran the clock out. Mensah threw for 274 yards and three scores, while rushing for 36 yards. Toney had two of those touchdowns, hauling in seven receptions for 75 yards. Fletcher also scored three total touchdowns.

After a 45-yard field goal put BYU ahead for good, running back Sione Moa scored from 1 yard out to seal the victory with just over two minutes remaining. Arizona State quarterback Jake Fette finished the late afternoon with 166 yards and two touchdowns, but the Sun Devils suffered their third road loss to a top-10 opponent this season. TRANSFER PORTAL, NOT NIL, REASON FOR PARITY, CLAIMS COLLEGE FOOTBALL EXPERT BROOKS AUSTIN Fette threw two third-quarter touchdown passes as Arizona State erased a 14-point deficit. The Sun Devils converted three third downs on their first scoring drive, which ended with Omarion Miller’s 20-yard touchdown catch. They then converted two fourth downs on the next drive before Anthony Miller Jr.’s 1-yard scoring reception tied the game at 17. Adrian Wilson recovered a fumble by Kyler Kasper at the BYU 39-yard line, setting up Arizona State’s second touchdown drive. It was a turbulent start for Fette in his first career start. BYU QB BEAR BACHMEIER SAYS NOTRE DAME 'DISRESPECTED' HIM AND HIS FAMILY FOLLOWING UPSET WIN OVER IRISH He fumbled on the third play of Arizona State’s opening drive. Isaiah Glasker pounced on the ball at the Sun Devil 29, setting up BYU’s first touchdown. Ironically, the Cougars scored following another fumble. Moa scooped up the ball after Bachmeier coughed it up inside the ASU 1 and scampered over the goal line to put BYU up 7-0. Next week, BYU will travel to Salt Lake City for an in-state rivalry game against Utah, while Arizona State will host Colorado in Tempe. Earlier Saturday, Colorado survived a scare from Kansas State to win in overtime and snap the Buffaloes’ losing streak. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Atlanta Dream needed more from her with a championship on the line. The Golden State Valkyries beat Atlanta 68-63 on Saturday night at Chase Center, winning the best-of-seven WNBA Finals 4-3 to claim the franchise’s first championship. Reese finished with eight points on 3-for-7 shooting, 12 rebounds and four turnovers. It was her fourth consecutive game with more turnovers than made field goals. Across those four games, she shot 12-for-45 (26.7%) and committed 19 turnovers. USA SPORTS, NBC CLAIM RECORD WNBA FINALS RATINGS, BUT COMPARISONS LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT CONTEXT Golden State guard Gabby Williams delivered the performance Atlanta needed from its star. She was named Finals MVP after scoring 30 points, including 28 in the second half, and blocking four shots in the clincher. Her 31-foot three-pointer with 2:18 remaining broke a 57-57 tie and put Golden State ahead for good. Reese’s only point in the final period came on a free throw with 18.6 seconds remaining. Before tipoff, both teams again left the court for the national anthem, completing the seven-game series without appearing on the floor for any of the performances. WNBA FINALS TEAMS END SEASON WITH ONE FINAL NATIONAL ANTHEM SNUB AS DREAM, VALKYRIES LEAVE COURT Reese’s Finals had looked much different when Atlanta held a 2-1 series lead. She combined for 51 points and 28 rebounds in Games 2 and 3, then explained how she believed she was getting into Golden State’s head. "They’re playing into my mental game where I can take their confidence and just try to do whatever to mess them up," Reese said before Game 4. The Valkyries won the next two games. Atlanta forced Game 7 with an 80-69 victory Thursday behind Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard’s combined 44 points, but Reese continued to struggle with her shooting, making five of 18 attempts. She finished the final four games with 38 points, 13 fewer than she scored in Games 2 and 3 combined. Saturday offered a chance to finish the series differently. Instead, Jordin Canada carried Atlanta’s offense for much of the night, while Reese never became a scoring factor down the stretch. The Dream went scoreless for the first 5:19 as Golden State built an 8-0 lead. Reese finally put Atlanta on the board with a basket off an offensive rebound. Atlanta recovered to trail just 14-12 after one quarter, and Reese’s three-pointer early in the second gave the Dream their first lead. Canada scored 11 points in the second quarter and had 13 at halftime. Golden State went more than eight minutes without a field goal to begin the period, allowing Atlanta to take a 30-24 lead into the break. Reese had five points, seven rebounds and three turnovers at halftime. Williams had just two points. The Dream extended their lead to 37-28 midway through the third quarter. Then Williams took over. She scored Golden State’s final 13 points of the period, including three three-pointers in a 56-second span. Reese answered one of those threes with a hook through contact, but missed the accompanying free throw. It was her last basket of the night. Williams’ turnaround jumper with 1:05 remaining gave the Valkyries a 45-44 lead entering the fourth. She scored 15 points in the quarter and added 13 more in the final period. Allisha Gray’s two free throws tied the game at 55 with 3:15 left. Williams answered with a driving layup. Howard tied it again at 57 before Williams buried the three from 31 feet. After Gray missed a wide-open layup, Williams made two free throws to push Golden State’s lead to five with 1:40 remaining. Kiah Stokes then delivered on the offensive glass. She rebounded two consecutive Williams misses, converting the second into a putback that stretched the lead to 64-57 with 53.8 seconds left. Gray’s three-pointer brought Atlanta within four, but Tiffany Hayes answered with two free throws. Reese grabbed an offensive rebound and drew a foul with 18.6 seconds remaining. She missed the first free throw and made the second, leaving Atlanta down five. She then stole a Williams pass, and Gray made two free throws to cut the deficit to 66-63 with 10.5 seconds left. Veronica Burton’s two free throws with 5.1 seconds remaining secured the victory. Stokes finished with eight points, 13 rebounds and two blocks. Burton added 10 points and 11 rebounds, while Hayes scored 11. Canada led Atlanta with 18 points, and Gray added 16. Howard finished with six points on 3-for-14 shooting, missing all seven of her three-point attempts. The Dream shot 33.3% overall and went 6-for-30 from beyond the arc. Reese finished the series averaging 14.7 points and 12.9 rebounds while shooting 40.5% from the field. After Game 3, she had explained how she measures greatness. "I think you become one of the greats … when you can win and impact winning," Reese said. She helped put Atlanta two wins from a championship. Across the final four games, she didn't do enough for the Dream to finish the job.

I know I did, handing out candy to the two trick-or-treaters who stopped at my house. And to the kids who walked by my house without stopping, the joke is on you: I now have a giant bowl of Twizzlers, Reese's and Jolly Ranchers to shame-eat for the next couple of days. And plenty of athletes seemed to have a great holiday too, including Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes and his girlfriend Livvy Dunne. CARDINALS' BUDDA BAKER FIELDS QUESTIONS ABOUT TRADE RUMORS WHILE WEARING EVIL CLOWN HALLOWEEN MASK But their costume choice is alarming for those of us who want to savor Halloween before we start looking not one, but two holidays ahead. The couple shared photos and video of their costumes: Buddy the Elf of "Elf" fame and a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's syrup. It's a solid costume, as Will Ferrell's iconic character is big on syrup, but... CHRISTMAS?!?! Like, not even Neal Page and Del Griffith from "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" would tell Halloween to pound sand, skip Thanksgiving like some soulless red-headed holiday stepchild and go straight to Christmas. It kind of reminds me of a Halloween I had a couple of years ago. I was working in my office that afternoon and watching 1933's "The Invisible Man" when I heard my wife digging for something in the closet. MAGGIE SAJAK LOOKS LIKE A MILLION BUCKS FOR HALLOWEEN, BILLY NAPIER MAKES HORRIBLE HISTORY & TIM DUNCAN VOTES! Moments later, she walked out with our Christmas tree and set it up before the Invisible Man even left the Lion's Head Inn. I'm not a hard-and-fast "Christmas must wait until after-Thanksgiving" guy. I'll hum a Christmas carol or steal a mini candy cane from a bank teller's desk before Thanksgiving Day, but I never go full-Christmas until I awake from my Thanksgiving food coma. Not Skenes and Dunne, though. They’re already in Christmas mode while people across the country are still dressing as the woman from "Obsession," donning inflatable Minion costumes and waiting to take their first Halloween Jell-O shot. I mean, great costume work, but let's savor Halloween before we have to start thinking about buying everyone in our family Amazon gift cards.

We have two distinct growing seasons, fall and early spring, and you can feature both summer and winter varieties in your garden.   The primary difference between summer and winter squash? When they are harvested. Summer squash is picked young with thin, edible skin and soft seeds, making it more perishable. Winter squash matures fully on the vine into a hard-skinned, starchy fruit that can be cured and stored for months. Seeds are the most economical way to grow squash, but transplants can get you a faster harvest. In the fall, we must wait until soil temperatures cool to 70 degrees before planting seeds directly in the ground. Plant in a spot with full sun and rich, well-draining soil mixed heavily with compost.   Provide deep, consistent watering, especially during production. Because squash plants produce separate male and female flowers, pollination can be a challenge. We suggest growing three or more plants, or hand-pollinating with a small paintbrush in the morning to ensure good fruit development.  Avoid planting winter squash near potatoes or sweet potatoes because they compete heavily for nutrients. Popular summer varieties include zucchini, straight neck and patty pan, which can be eaten raw or cooked. Their mild flavor and tender texture are versatile in many recipes.  Favorite winter varieties include butternut, acorn, delicata, honey nut, spaghetti, kabocha and pumpkins. Most varieties must be peeled either before or after cooking, but delicata and honey nut have tender edible skin.  Butternut is the most popular variety due to its mild, sweet flavor, while acorn squash is excellent for stuffing and baking.    Pumpkins are also part of the Cucurbita plant genus but are more often used in sweet applications. The arrival of the ever-popular pumpkin spice is a true harbinger of autumn and seems to appear in everything except bath tissue. Even though pumpkins are easy to grow in most climates, in our desert environment using the canned variety may be the easiest option.    With the holidays around the corner, a bowl or basket filled with a selection of winter squashes makes a beautiful autumnal centerpiece. With all of the choices available, you’re sure to find a squash that you enjoy growing and eating.  The post Squash it: Why this crop loves the desert appeared first on InMaricopa.com.

The defending national champions were able to breathe a collective sigh of relief after a 23-16 overtime victory over unranked Minnesota in its second consecutive overtime game. Last week, the Hoosiers won 13-6 at Michigan. INDIANA OUTLASTS MICHIGAN IN OVERTIME FOR FIRST WIN AT BIG HOUSE SINCE 1967 This week, backup quarterback Grant Wilson found Charlie Becker for a 25-yard touchdown on the first play of the extra period. The Hoosiers then stopped Minnesota on its ensuing possession. The Golden Gophers took a 16-13 lead with 19 seconds to go on Luke Drzewiecki’s career-long 60-yard field goal. But Charlie Becker’s 33-yard catch set up Paddy McAteer for a career-long 60-yarder to tie it as time expired. Minnesota fell to 0-13 against defending national champs and still has not beaten Top 25 opponents in back-to-back weeks since 1956. Indiana pulled struggling starting quarterback Josh Hoover at halftime after he took a big hit on his second interception of the season. Two late replay reviews then overturned potential game-changing plays: one erased a go-ahead touchdown pass, while the other nullified an interception that would have put Indiana deep in Minnesota territory in the final minutes. INDIANA SURVIVES NEBRASKA IN COMEBACK WIN, EXTENDS NATION'S LONGEST ACTIVE WINNING STREAK Wilson finished with 156 passing yards and a touchdown after Hoover recorded 119 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Becker caught eight passes for 149 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Minnesota quarterback Drake Lindsey completed 20 passes for 120 yards and one touchdown. Javon Tracy had seven receptions for 40 yards.

And the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries stayed off the court for the national anthem before every one of them. Both teams left the floor before Saturday night’s deciding game at Chase Center, completing a series-long pattern that continued despite criticism and repeated questions about why their pregame routines take them off the court during the performance. Saturday’s anthem was performed by San Francisco’s Glide Ensemble. The choir’s website describes its music as "steeped in protest and visions of a more just and loving world" and says it spreads a message of "diversity, acceptance and love." Not even a radically left-wing church choir could get the players to stand on the court for two minutes during the anthem. WNBA PLAYERS, COACHES REFUSE TO EXPLAIN NATIONAL ANTHEM ABSENCES AMID MOUNTING CRITICISM The league’s first Game 7 came after Atlanta’s 80–69 victory Thursday evened the series at 3–3. Saturday’s winner will claim its franchise’s first WNBA championship. Two weeks after OutKick first asked why the teams were leaving the floor for the anthem, the WNBA, NBA and both teams’ front offices still have not answered our questions. Players and coaches have pointed to their pregame routines. The performers and venues changed. The teams’ absence from the court did not. Alanis Morissette sang before Game 2 at Chase Center. On Thursday in Atlanta, 10-year-old Heiress Harris, the daughter of rapper T.I., performed before Game 6. Both teams were off the floor for those performances. When OutKick finally had an opportunity to question players and coaches directly at media availability in Atlanta on Oct. 23, Golden State coach Natalie Nakase said the practice was part of pregame. "We’re two years in," Nakase said. "That’s been part of our pregame." Asked who established the routine and why, Nakase said, "I really don’t know." "I understand your question," she added. "I’m not trying to, you know, not answer your question. It’s just part of our pregame." OutKick followed up: "What do you do during those 90 seconds that you’re off the court?" "I’m with my staff, so I’m focused on my plays," Nakase said. Golden State’s public relations staff then moved to the next reporter. OutKick did not get an opportunity to ask why those preparations needed to happen during the anthem rather than before or afterward. Valkyries forward Gabby Williams denied that Golden State’s absence was a protest. "No," Williams said. Asked why the team was off the court, she responded: "That’s been the routine for like, seven years now." A Valkyries public relations representative then said, "Next question." Golden State is in its second season. Williams previously played for Chicago and Seattle, but did not explain whether each team followed the same routine. OUTKICK READERS BLAST WNBA PLAYERS FOR HIDING DURING FINALS NATIONAL ANTHEM Atlanta coach Karl Smesko offered less detail when asked why his team left the court and whose decision it was. "We’re just kind of focused on the Finals," Smesko said. Asked whether he had any further comment about the anthem and his team’s absences, he said, "No." Dream guard Rhyne Howard was asked about calls to exclude players from Team USA over their anthem conduct during the WNBA season. "I don’t think I’ve been on the floor for the national anthem for any of my tenure in Atlanta, so if that’s what people are gonna look to nitpick for then so be it," Howard said. "But as far as competing for your team, when I go put on USA jersey I’m out for the national anthem every time, there’s no doubt about it." "Yes, I love the country that I play for and I love what we have here," she added. When OutKick asked why she was not on the court for the anthem with the Dream, Howard and an Atlanta public relations representative both responded, "Next question." VANCE CONDEMNS 'DISGRACEFUL' WNBA NATIONAL ANTHEM WALKOUTS, SAYS PLAYERS SHOULD SHOW MORE GRATITUDE Fans who spoke with OutKick outside State Farm Arena before Game 6 disagreed about whether the players should be on the floor. Renard Hayes, the father of Golden State guard Tiffany Hayes, pointed to his own military service while defending the players’ choice. "This is America, by the way, and I’ve served this country, so they can choose what they want," he said. "I don’t have an issue with it because it’s not a disrespect of the flag," Hayes added. A male Valkyries fan said he respected the players’ opinions and beliefs but wanted them on the court. "I do think they should be out there," he said. Another Dream fan defended the practice: "They’ve been doing it for years. And that’s their choice. It is what it is." The WNBA’s 2026 official rulebook says players, coaches and trainers are to "stand and line up in a dignified posture" along the sidelines or on the foul line during the national anthem. The Associated Press reported Oct. 20 that the league suspended its anthem protocols in 2017. The provision remains in the 2026 rulebook. OutKick has asked the WNBA to clarify its current requirements and enforcement, whether discipline was planned or under consideration, and whether the league had communicated instructions to either team. The inquiries to the WNBA, Dream and Valkyries began after Game 1 on Oct. 17, with follow-ups Oct. 18 and Oct. 20. OutKick also contacted the NBA league office on Oct. 20 about its role in the matter. The Oct. 23 interviews were OutKick’s first opportunity to put the anthem questions directly to players and coaches after attending all 13 formal press conferences during the first three games without being called on. OutKick also asked Atlanta to confirm an arena employee’s account that Dream players stand in a hallway after leaving the floor before games, including whether they remain there during the anthem. The team did not respond. During Game 4, I attempted to observe what Atlanta’s players do after leaving the court. Arena staff said my credential did not grant access to that area and escorted me to my assigned media seat. One team will leave Saturday night with a championship. Both will finish the season having stayed off the court for every national anthem in the Finals.

The Patriots ruled out wide receiver A.J. Brown because of ankle and knee injuries, running back TreVeyon Henderson because of an illness and offensive tackle Marcus Bryant because of an ankle injury. All three players had been listed as questionable before being ruled out. For Brown, the setback comes after he injured his ankle in the season opener and spent the next four games on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain. He returned to play in each of the past two games. 'I MEAN, CLEARLY,' JALEN HURTS TELLS GQ WHEN ASKED IF HE AND A.J. BROWN GREW APART IN PHILADELPHIA Brown appeared to suffer the injury while attempting to make a catch at Lumen Field against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 9 during the NFL’s first regular-season game played on a Wednesday. The matchup was billed as a rematch of Super Bowl LX, which Seattle won in February by defeating New England 29-10 to claim the franchise’s second Vince Lombardi Trophy. Brown went down after a Seahawks defender rolled into him and remained on the field after the play. After medical personnel tended to Brown on the field, he made his way to the sideline without assistance. He was later ruled out for the remainder of the game because of what was described as an ankle injury. He finished that night with three catches for 26 yards. PATRIOTS' AJ BROWN EXITS NFL SEASON OPENER AGAINST SEAHAWKS, RULED OUT WITH ANKLE INJURY After an uneven 2025 season for both Brown and the Eagles' offense, Philadelphia traded him to the Patriots for a pair of future draft picks amid signs that his once-close friendship and productive on-field partnership with quarterback Jalen Hurts had deteriorated. The Week 8 matchup with the Dolphins will be Henderson’s second missed game this season. He sat out the season opener with an ankle injury Bryant has been on injured reserve through the season, but was designated to return and was a full participant in practice all week.

During an episode of "The Weekend View" she was co-hosting, the 58-year-old actress shared that she chose to get a facelift after losing "40 pounds naturally without the use of pharmaceuticals," saying "we just went south." "I was not trying to reverse the clock and look like I'm 20," she explained. "I have my natural gray hair. I really own my age and I love the age I'm at." While she was happy with how her procedure turned out, Lake explained that not everyone in her circle was completely supportive of her decision to go under the knife. FORMER SUPERMODEL JANICE DICKINSON UNVEILS DRAMATIC RESULTS OF FACELIFT AT 71 She said that O'Donnell, who she considers "a really good friend," was a bit "judgy" upon hearing Lake had decided to go through with the cosmetic surgery. "She would admit it that she was judgy of myself and a few of my friends that went to this doctor and had these amazing results," Lake said. "She's like, 'Why do you need it?' And then, sure enough, she lost a bunch of weight on Mounjaro, and she went and had it done." O'Donnell revealed she went through with the same procedure in a Substack post shared in May. She also shared a lengthy Instagram post about why she chose to do it, writing she had assigned herself "as head of all women who would never - ever" get a facelift. She admitted to thinking it was "a betrayal" of feminism, aging and "of our team of women worldwide." Her opinion on the matter changed, she wrote, when she lost 50 pounds.

"I’d look in the mirror and think, this isn’t aging, this is … melting with intention." While on "The View," Lake went into detail about what exactly she had done, sharing she did not get her eyes done, opting for "a deep-plane lower face and neck lift and a CO2 laser." "I'm thrilled with my results. And I love my doctor. And I'm not gonna gate keep here. Dr. Alan Foulad in Los Angeles. He's very special," she said. "He's wonderful, and he's a master."

After having her consultation appointment in mid-June, she booked a surgery date for mid-July and "never looked back." "I had just lost 40 pounds, and I had this hanging," she said, pointing to the area under her chin. "And it wasn't just like that I didn't like what I saw or wanted to look younger. I have gray hair. It's not about that. It's like, I had an appendage hanging that wasn't going to grow back, like come back up."

Surely, some partial relief from student loans would put butts in seats for a Halloween matinee against the Illinois Illini, right? Maybe kids aren't into free stuff like they used to be, because it certainly didn't. COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHING CAROUSEL COULD EXPLODE AS LINCOLN RILEY AND DEION SANDERS FACE MOUNTING PRESSURE It's been a rough season for the Terrapins, who recently underwent a coaching change, and that's certainly not going to have kids storming the gates at SECU Stadium. Honestly, I thought the free tuition stunt was going to work wonders, but the crowd at kickoff made it clear that Maryland may need to go back to the drawing board. COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM DRAWS EMBARRASSINGLY SMALL CROWD FOR WHAT TURNS INTO THURSDAY NIGHT THRILLER Well... it is Halloween. Maybe a thousand students dressed as metal bleachers, and what we're looking at there is actually a packed house. Probably not, though. It’s a shame to see the program struggling this much, even during a difficult season, because Maryland was competitive throughout. Illinois ultimately headed back to Champaign with a 20-17 victory. However, all the talk on socials was about SECU Stadium dressing as a ghost town for Halloween. Not good. The Terps hit the road next weekend to take on Purdue but will be back home the week after to host the No. 25 Wisconsin Badgers (well, until the new poll comes out on Sunday after their beatdown at the hands of the Iowa Hawkeyes).

So, with an overtime victory to notch its first Big 12 win in over a year, the Buffaloes faithful decided it fitting to rush the field on Saturday afternoon. Deion Sanders’ Colorado squad came into their game against the Kansas State Wildcats 2-5 at the bottom of the barrel in the Big 12. To date, the team hadn’t won a conference game since Oct. 11, 2025, and they owned a five-game losing streak after beginning the year on a high note. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The game was pitted at 21 apiece when four quarters finished, forcing an overtime period that saw Kansas State kick a field goal to take a three-point lead. If Colorado was able to find the end zone on the ensuing possession, they would snap that losing streak and finally get that first conference win of the year. On third-and-9, quarterback Isaac Wilson pulled back the ball on an RPO scheme and looked to throw into the end zone. He fired a bullet to tight end Charlie Williams, who snagged the football out of the air and walked into the end zone for an 11-yard score — his only catch of the game. With the six points, Colorado sent the stadium into a frenzy as it walked off Kansas State and improved to 4-4 on the season. As Sanders went to shake hands with Kansas State, fans hopped over the wall and stormed the field, most of them decked out in Halloween costumes. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER Fans appeared ready to storm the field in regulation, but Kansas State’s touchdown with two seconds left tied the game and kept them behind the wall. Colorado eventually won, though, allowing fans to rush the field and, as is customary, tear down the goalposts while celebrating the spooky home victory. Colorado has matched its win total from last season in the fourth year of the Deion Sanders era. But despite the victory, Sanders’ name has been mentioned among coaches on the hot seat, making the modest milestone far from what he and his staff envisioned. The Buffaloes still have four games remaining this season, and they will need to win three of them to become bowl-eligible. If that happens, perhaps Sanders is safe moving forward into next year. If not… well, you do the math. There’s no telling what Colorado plans to do with Sanders, but the Buffaloes have struggled to regain their winning ways since his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and others left for the NFL. Next week, the Buffaloes will look to build a win streak against Arizona State before facing Houston, Cincinnati and UCF to end the year. Meanwhile, Kansas State has similarly struggled in conference play, going 1-4 in the Big 12.
