Anne-Mette Elkjær Andersen Joins Tannenbaum Helpern as Partner in the Firm's Corporate Practice GroupCarson Beck completed 20 of 31 passes for 297 yards and four touchdowns as No. 10 Georgia pummeled UMass 59-21 on Saturday in Athens, Ga. Nate Frazier ran for career highs of 136 yards and three touchdowns, while Arian Smith caught three passes for 110 yards and a score as the Bulldogs (9-2) won their second straight game and 30th straight at home, dating back to 2019. AJ Hairston completed 7 of 16 passes for 121 yards and a score for the Minutemen (2-9), who dropped their third straight. Jalen John ran for 107 yards and a score and Jakobie Keeney-James caught three passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Peyton Woodring kicked a 53-yard field goal to extend Georgia's lead to 31-14 on the first drive of the third quarter. But UMass wasted little time responding, as Hairston hit Keeney-James for a 75-yard touchdown to get the deficit down to 10. Georgia then finished its sixth straight drive with a score, as Frazier's 9-yard run up the middle gave the Bulldogs a 38-21 lead at the 8:44 mark of the third quarter. After UMass punted, Georgia played add-on in its next possession, with Frazier scoring from 15 yards out with 1:39 left in the third to lead 45-21. Frazier stamped his career day with his third touchdown run, a 2-yarder with 6:33 left, before Georgia capped the scoring with Chris Cole's 28-yard fumble return with 3:28 remaining. UMass took the game's opening drive 75 yards down the field -- aided by Ahmad Haston's 38-yard run -- and scored on CJ Hester's 1-yard run with 9:15 left. Georgia answered on its ensuing drive, as Beck's 17-yard passing touchdown to Oscar Delp tied the game at the 5:05 mark of the first quarter. Following a short punt by UMass, Beck connected with Smith for 49 yards, and a roughing-the-passer penalty put the ball at Minutemen's 14-yard line. Facing a fourth-and-4 from the 8-yard line, Beck found Cash Jones for a touchdown to take a 14-7 lead with 10:30 left in the second quarter. On UMass' next play from scrimmage, Raylen Wilson recovered John's fumble on the Minutemen's 28-yard line. Three plays later, Beck connected with Dominic Lovett for a 15-yard touchdown with 8:56 remaining. UMass then scored after a 14-play, 75-yard drive, finished off with John's 3-yard rushing score with 1:55 left in the first half. Georgia answered quickly, as Beck's 20-yard pass to Cole Speer set up a 34-yard touchdown pass to Smith with 43 seconds remaining, giving the Bulldogs a 28-14 halftime lead. --Field Level Media

Illinois (8-3, 5-3 Big Ten) was down 31-30 when it sent long kicker Ethan Moczulski out for a desperation 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano then called for a timeout right before Moczulski’s attempt was wide left and about 15 yards short. After the missed field goal was waved off by the timeout, Illinois coach Bret Bielema sent his offense back on the field. Altmyer hit Bryant on an in cut on the left side at the 22, and he continued across the field and scored untouched in a game that featured three lead changes in the final 3:07. Rutgers (6-5, 3-5) gave up a safety on the final kickoff return, throwing a ball out of bounds in the end zone as players passed it around hoping for a miracle touchdown. Altmyer was 12-of-26 passing for 249 yards and two touchdowns. Bryant finished with seven receptions for 197 yards. Altmeyer put Illinois in front with a 30-yard TD run with 3:07 to go. He passed to Josh McCray on the 2-point conversion, making it 30-24. Rutgers responded with a 10-play, 65-yard drive. Athan Kaliakmanis had a 15-yard run on fourth down. He passed to running back Kyle Manangai for a 13-yard TD with 1:08 remaining. Illinois then drove 75 yards in eight plays for the unexpected win. Kaliakmanis was 18 for 36 for 174 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 13 carries for 84 yards and two TDs. Monangai had a career-high 28 carries for 122 yards. Kaliakmanis found Ian Strong for a 2-yard touchdown in the final seconds of the first half, and he scored on a 1-yard run to lift Rutgers to a 24-15 lead early in the fourth quarter. Illinois responded with Aidan Laughery’s 8-yard TD run, setting up the roller-coaster finish. The start of the second half was delayed because of a scrum between the teams. There were no punches thrown and the officials called penalties on both schools. Monangai’s day Monangai become the third player in Rutgers history to rush for 3,000 yards when he picked up 4 on a third-and-1 carry early in the second quarter. The defending conference rushing champion joins Ray Rice and Terrell Willis in hitting the mark. The takeaway Illinois: The great finish keeps the Illini in line for its first nine-win season since 2007 and a prestigious bowl game this season. Rutgers: The Scarlet Knights were seconds away from their first in-conference three-game win streak since joining the Big Ten in 2014. Up next Illinois: At Northwestern next Saturday. Rutgers: At Michigan State next Saturday.

In a room full of entrepreneurs, Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell called for collaboration across industries and local governments to ensure growth for the state in the next eight years. Pinnell highlighted Oklahoma’s growing appeal to Texans, emphasizing local infrastructure and industry when he spoke at the Oklahoma Technology Symposium run by Boyd Street Ventures on Friday. “These aren’t sexy issues that show up in the paper a lot of times, but you talk to any city manager, you talk to any mayor, they’re going to talk to you about infrastructure,” Pinnell said. Pinnell said that local investment in small towns like Durant and McAlester factored into success at a larger level. Norman in particular was fortunate, he said, because of a dependable revenue source. “Norman’s blessed, because we create a heck of a lot of sales tax on a lot of Saturday afternoons, right? But a lot of communities I go to, a lot of small spots, very small rural towns are dying on the vine because they’re not creating sales tax revenue fast enough to operate their communities. That’s a conversation that our legislature has to have,” Pinnell said. He said taxes factored into municipal ability to repair and expand infrastructure, and that while funding can be a challenge, it is possible to help small towns without raising property taxes. “You want to touch property taxes? I don’t want to touch property taxes either, but you got county commissioners that are making very difficult decisions every month of the year on: Do I pave this road, or am I going to have to turn it back into gravel?” Pinnell said. While he does not want to raise property taxes in Oklahoma to Texas levels, Pinnell emphasized the rainy day fund as a possible solution for these rural representatives. “Don’t tell me that we can’t create a revolving fund down at the state Capitol with a half a billion dollars sitting in it to help Durant with their problem, to help McAlester with their problem, to help Norman with their problem. We absolutely can and should be having that conversation,” he said. Oklahoma already appeals to Texans who move here and bring their students to the University of Oklahoma who stay and become part of the workforce, he said. “More Texans moved to Oklahoma last year than Oklahomans that moved to Texas,” Pinnell said. Pinnell said there is a push for technological innovation, particularly within the energy sector. He said Oklahoma already holds a strong footing in the oil and gas sector, but growth opportunities lie in green energy. “We should be a new energy state from wind, solar, hydrogen, I would say data centers. We take more phone calls from companies again, because we’re affordable, not cheap,” he said. Pinnell said that the state cannot raise taxes on oil like it used to when bracing for economic waves, so new solutions are needed. The lieutenant governor also identified aerospace as a cornerstone for Oklahoma’s future, citing its $44 billion economic impact. “It’s the number two industry in the state of Oklahoma today,” he said, with “over 1100 aerospace entities in the state.” Because of its location, he said Norman was particularly suited to another industry that has seen growth in recent years. With new operations like Prairie Surf, Oklahoma has attracted large productions like “Killers of the Flower Moon” and created local jobs in film that were not here before. “Martin Scorsese fell in love with Oklahoma and fell in love with the landscapes,” he said. However, without the $30 million cap rebate, he said, he does not think that either “Killers” or “Twisters” would have been filmed in state. This rebate was a result of the Filmed in Oklahoma Act of 2021, an initiative to offer a 20% incentive for productions made in Oklahoma. Money from big productions like these offers income that would help address infrastructure limitations in rural areas and workforce availability in small towns, but it could be even more, he said. “Do you want $300 million more worth of production every year? Because I guarantee we could do it if we pushed it to 80 million to 100 million rebate, which is still pretty conservative when it comes to that film rebate,” he said.

NEW YORK -- A judge's scathing ruling Wednesday moves New York City's troubled Rikers Island jail complex a step closer to a federal takeover. Judge Laura Taylor Swain found the city and the Department of Correction in civil contempt over 18 separate claims of failing to rectify use of force and safety issues. A 2012 lawsuit against the DOC led to a settlement that required sweeping reforms, which Swain described as happening at a "glacial pace." "The court is inclined to impose a receivership: namely, a remedy that will make the management of the use of force and safety aspects of the Rikers Island jails ultimately answerable directly to the court," Swain said. Swain noted in the nine years since the settlement, the city and the department have failed to comply with provisions of several court orders related to implementing a force directive and holding staff accountable. Swain ordered the city to meet with a court-appointed monitor to go over the framework of federal receivership of the jail. Swain ordered the city and attorneys suing the city to provide her with a plan for receivership by Jan. 14. Mayor Eric Adams, who has opposed such a takeover, insisted his new commissioner is making headway, but acknowledged more needs to be done. "We are proud of our work, but recognize there is more to be done and look forward to working with the federal monitoring team on our shared goal of continuing to improved the safety of everyone in our jails," Adams said in a statement. The Legal Aid Society responded to her ruling with a statement, calling it an "historic decision." "The court's recognition that the current structure has failed, and that receivership free from political and other external influences is the path forward, can ensure that all New Yorkers, regardless of incarceration status, are treated with the respect and dignity guaranteed to them under the law," the statement read in part. "With this contempt ruling today, the federal court made loud and clear that the status quo cannot continue and that radical reform is necessary," said Mary Lynne Werlwas, director of the Prisoners' Rights Project at the Legal Aid Society. "The court was very clear that reform will lie in the hands of a person who is politically independent, not accountable to City Hall, but accountable only to the federal court." The union representing correction officers took issue with the ruling. "Today's ruling by Judge Swain was largely based on the false and erroneous narrative promulgated by the Federal Monitor, who continues to misrepresent the root cause of increased violence in our jails. The judge is flat out wrong to assert that our workforce is overstaffed. In fact, we are down to approximately 5,000 Correction Officers from over 9,000 Correction Officers from just four years ago, all while our inmate population, which is around 6,700, is the highest its been in years. We have been defunded, short staffed, scapegoated and handcuffed by the New York City Council and Federal Monitor, which have ignored every proposal we've made to keep our jails safe for everyone," Correction Officers' Benevolent Association president Benny Boscio said. "Seventy percent of our inmate population is facing violent felony charges and that same population is driving the hundreds of assaults on our officers, including sexual assaults, as well as inmate on inmate attacks, which requires necessary, not excessive force, to keep everyone in our jails safe. Outsourcing control of Rikers Island to a federal receiver, will not be a silver bullet and will not solve any of these problems. Giving correction officers the manpower and resources to enforce law and order in our jails will." The news comes a day after Harvey Weinstein's lawyers filed a claim against the city , saying he is being subjected to unhygienic conditions and substandard medical treatment at the jail complex. Earlier this year, the city reached a more than $28 million settlement with Madeline Feliciano , whose 18-year-old grandson suffered brain damage after he tried to hang himself in custody in 2019. "Rikers Island needs to be shut down. No human being should go through what my grandson is going through," Feliciano said this spring. Rikers is scheduled to close in August 2027 but it's unlikely , in part because the community jails that are supposed to replace it won't be ready in time, and because they are only supposed to hold about 4,000 of the more than 6,000 people currently at the complex. Adams inherited the longstanding issues, along with the plan to close the jail. Last year, he appointed Lynelle Maginley-Liddie to lead the correction department , in hopes of staving off a receivership. "Show me a successful receivership in the country. Show me where someone has come in and they have taken over and they've fixed the systems. And so we're saying to everyone that's involved, we want the challenge," Adams said at the time.

NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid a mixed Monday of trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its all-time high set on Friday to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board. It also said that it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street’s frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the announcement of its CEO’s departure . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing struggle with slumping sales and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday . Target, which recently gave a forecast for the holiday season that left investors discouraged , fell 1.2%. Walmart , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took Donald Trump’s latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government’s budget . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for Federal Reserve, which recently began pulling interest rates lower to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday’s headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off October’s lackluster growth that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by Trump once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.
