Autodesk appoints Janesh Moorjani as chief financial officerSporting the NFL’s second-best record at 9-2, the Bills enjoyed a well-deserved bye week after handing the Chiefs their first loss of the season in Week 11. With a big game against the 49ers this coming Sunday back at Orchard Park, it’s no surprise to find Buffalo firmly inside the Top 5 in this week’s Power Rankings around the league, with some experts ranking Sean McDermott’s side as high as No. 2 behind the Lions. Sporting News – 2nd “The Bills enjoyed a bye week but couldn't make up any more ground on the Chiefs after Josh Allen came through big time with big support from the defense in Week 12.” - Vinnie Iyer NFL.com - 2nd “Buffalo got to sit back on its Week 12 bye with a 9-2 record, having won six straight, culminating with a big win over Kansas City. Part of the Bills' bye-week viewing likely included the Chiefs' struggles to put the Panthers away, which had to make the week of rest even better. Buffalo all but has the AFC East wrapped up, and it still has a puncher's chance to wrestle away the AFC's top seed from Kansas City, thanks to the head-to-head win and a stretch run that is far easier than the Chiefs'. Buffalo will come out of the bye with a home game against the suddenly sinking 5-6 49ers. There also are games left against the Rams, Jets and Patriots (twice), as well as a showdown against the Lions in Detroit that could serve as a Super Bowl sneak peek. All told, the Bills are in great shape, and they appear to be getting a little healthier, too.” - Eric Edholm ESPN – 4th “Currently riding a six-game winning streak, the Bills' FPI rankings reflect just how well this team is performing despite dealing with injuries and changes on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Josh Allen and the offense are second in points margin per game (9.6), and the team leads the league in turnover margin (14). There are still some areas to monitor, as reflected in Tyler Bass being 25th in field goal percentage (86.4%) and missing four extra point attempts so far.” - Alaina Getzenberg Pro Football Talk – 2nd “It’s the annual Chris Berman Super Bowl prediction from pretty much every year of the 1990s, when the 49ers come to town. The Bills could be getting them at the perfect time.” - Mike FlorioBaker Mayfield mocks Tommy DeVito's celebration as the Bucs embarrass the Giants 30-7The cheque is in the mail — it’s a refrain that won’t cut it this year for Niagara’s charitable operations that have come to depend on the gift of giving via Canada Post. Particularly from older donors. Postal workers are now in their third week of a strike that began on Nov. 15. Jane LaVacca, Westview Centre 4 Women’s executive director, said it is frustrating, especially during December when initiatives like Giving Tuesday results in mail-in donations to many not-for-profits. “Christmastime is the time people donate, they think about their donation dollars, where they’re going to put them,” she said. “We don’t have the envelopes coming in, and for obvious reasons, because of the postal strike, so it’s really affecting us and we’re finding it super hard.” LaVacca said many of the St. Catharines agency’s donors are older adults who do not use modern technology when giving. “They don’t do e-transfer, they don’t do many of those types of things,” she said. “They want to put a cheque in the mail — that’s the plan — and they can’t do that because we’re not going to get it.” Donors often make charitable contributions during the holidays and before the end of the year to count toward the ensuing tax season. LaVacca said November and December is when Westview receives at least half of its annual donations, allowing it to operate throughout the year. “We’re going to try hard to not allow it to affect our services, but let’s face it, financially, when money’s down, it affects everybody,” she said. Laura Dumas, executive director of Start Me Up Niagara (SMUN), also based in St. Catharines, said donations have been limited because of the postal strike. Going out and collecting donations from donors is a possibility. “At this time of year, it’s (usually) steady. In the past it wasn’t uncommon to see quite healthy donations come through (the mail) at least once a day up until Christmas,” she said. “We must get out there more, we don’t have a choice. We must find other ways to pick up the donations.” But Dumas said the mail strike is not the only reason overall donations are down this year. In a year that has produced record numbers for food bank use, escalating grocery bills and high interest rates, SMUN is down $18,000 in its donations account. “I’ve had a couple delivered on my desk,” she said, “but not usually what we would have around Christmas, as people tend to be a little more giving around Christmas.” SMUN’s Christmastime donations are down about 50 per cent of what is typical. “It’s always worrisome. We rely heavily on our donations and the kindness of our donors, and when the donations are low it puts us in a position to prioritize (service delivery),” she said. “You start this triage of supports to see where we can support more, because with non-profits it’s a juggling act, and when the donations are low you just juggle more.”swerte99.log in 。

EAGLE PASS, Texas — President-Elect Donald Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, visited Texas Army National Guard soldiers/airmen and Texas Highway Patrol troopers at a recently constructed state military base on the banks of the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass. Accompanied by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Homan spoke to the attendees ahead of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. During the Tuesday visit, Homan and Texas Abbott served food to the troops after brief remarks. Speaking to the troops, Texas Governor Abbott thanked the guardsmen and troopers before introducing incoming Border Czar Homan to the soldiers preparing for their pre-Thanksgiving meal. Homan spoke to the troops saying, “Today is the first day I have been to Shelby Park, Governor Abbott has done a great job here,” as he thanked the troops for their service along the border in Eagle Pass. Speaking to the troops about the plans to conduct a mass deportation operation, Homan announced, “Let me be clear, there is going to be a mass deportation because we just had mass immigration at the border.” Homan went on to criticize the policies of outgoing President Joe Biden as “deliberately causing the border crisis.” Abbott and Homan were joined by retiring Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw, Adjutant General of the Texas Military Department, Major General Thomas Suelzer, Texas Border Czar Mike Banks, and National Border Patrol Council Union President Paul Perez. The visit was held at Forward Operating Base Eagle, a recently constructed permanent base camp designed to provide housing for 1,800 Texas Army National Guard Soldiers deployed under Abbott’s “Operation Lone Star” to the region. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the 80-acre military post was opened in mid-2024 and offers soldiers individual rooms, a 700-seat dining facility, a recreational center, laundry facilities, and WiFi access. According to the Texas Military Department, the camp also provides chaplaincy programs and medical and psychological health facilities. Homan will accompany Abbott to a similar event in Edinburg, Texas, later in the afternoon to thank soldiers and Highway Patrol troopers serving in that region during the holidays. Homan closed his remarks, saying, “Game on. Time to get this done.” Randy Clark is a 32-year veteran of the United States Border Patrol. Prior to his retirement, he served as the Division Chief for Law Enforcement Operations, directing operations for nine Border Patrol Stations within the Del Rio, Texas, Sector.

CELH Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Celsius Holdings, Inc. Securities Fraud LawsuitOn Wednesday, a bicameral group of Republican and Democrat lawmakers held a press conference discussing the need for pharmacy benefit manager reform to protect small pharmacies across the country and “save lives.” “Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or an independent, we all want the same thing. We want accessible, affordable, quality health care,” said Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga. “We’re not here today to just discuss one bill or to discuss just one patient’s story. We're here because there's broad, bipartisan pharmacy benefit manager, or PBM, reform that is needed to save lives.” Pharmacy benefit managers are the middlemen responsible for managing the drug prices covered by health insurance plans. According to the Harvard Political Review , the problem with pharmacy benefit managers is that they “have vertically integrated with pharmacy chains and health insurers through massive conglomerates.” That then allows them to abuse their power to cut out small pharmacies and increase prices. Carter also signed a letter that was released last week calling on the Department of Justice to dig into the role pharmacy benefit managers played in the opioid epidemic. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., Deborah Ross, D-N.C., and Cliff Benz, R-Ore., all joined him in signing that letter. “The opioid crisis has devastated communities in North Carolina and across the country, and PBMs may have fueled it by prioritizing profits over people,” Ross said on social media . “That’s why I joined a letter calling on the DOJ to investigate their role and hold these bad actors accountable.” The letter looked at recent reports on the largest pharmacy benefit managers, CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx which state that they “colluded and conspired to steer patients towards OxyContin in exchange for $400 million.” OxyContin is a trade name for the narcotic oxycodone hydrochloride, a painkiller available by prescription only. This and the general “lack of transparency” is just one of the many complaints that legislators aired on Wednesday. “My colleagues who are joining me today, Democrats and Republicans ... all recognize that PBMs are decreasing the accessibility, the affordability, and therefore the quality of health care in America,” Carter said. “We have an opportunity, right now, to advance bipartisan legislation that increases reporting requirements, which would heighten transparency and shine a light on the opaque practices of these PBMs.” Carter was also joined by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., who is leading the effort to get legislation passed in the U.S. Senate. “This year, we're losing about one pharmacy a day in America,” Lankford said. “We want leadership to be able to take this up and to bring it up in the end-of-year package ... Stop holding up legislation that is bipartisan, bicameral, and solving a problem that Americans need solved.”

More info Tulisa Contostavlos ' ex best friend has admitted he hasn't spoken to the singer in over a year. The N-Dubz star sparked concern with fans following her exit from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. Her time on the show marked her return to the spotlight following her time as an X Factor judge in 2013. Tulisa, who was the third celeb to leave the ITV show this week, has already left Australia following her eviction. She opened up about feeling "overwhelmed" and tackling mental health challenges after her stint in the jungle. Upon her exit, Tulisa was met by her best friend Michelle McKenna on the bridge after leaving camp. Reports have claimed Tulisa had argued with Michelle over the content of her social media posts, which her friend had access to while she was in the jungle. But the singer clapped back, insisting there's no drama with her pal Michelle or Daniel Johnson, who flew down under to cheer her on. Now, her former friend and personal assistant Gareth Varey has revealed the pair had a falling out. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Gareth said: "I don't know what's going on with her. I haven't seen or spoken to her for 14 months. We did the N-Dubz tour together and when that finished we went our separate ways." He added that although they were once thick as thieves, those days are long gone, reports the Mirror . Another source told the publication: "Tulisa and Gareth have been incredibly close for years, and he would normally be the one to greet her after a big event like the jungle, but they had a disagreement shortly before she went in. They were practically inseparable." The friends had previously lived together at Tulisa's £4million mansion , after meeting when Gareth was a backup dancer on N-Dubz's 2009 tour. In her 2012 autobiography, Honest, Tulisa wrote: "We are friends for life. There were times when we both sat crying in each other's arms, I've never had that with anyone before. And pretty soon it was obvious this was more than just a passing or a faddy friendship, we were two peas in a pod." "Gareth automatically slipped into a motherly role, worrying about me all the time and showing real concern if ever I was upset or sad. It's the reason I made him my PA, we adored one another, I was chuffed to bits when he took the job. From the night we met onwards, we have been virtually inseparable." OK! has approached Tulisa's representatives for comment. Following reports of a rift between Tulisa and her friend Michelle after her jungle exit, Tulisa posted on Instagram: "Absolutely no issue with my sis's posts... Haven't argued with my best mate in over 10 years. We literally don't have arguments, they don't exist in our world. Only love. Same with my bro. That's what makes us so strong and my soul fam so special to me. Say what u want about me, but leave my Shelly and Dan alone pls x." Speaking to the Mirror, a spokesperson for Tulisa revealed: "There has been absolutely no fall out between Tulisa and her best friend Michelle. They haven't argued once since Tulisa left the jungle. Michelle in fact travelled back to London with Tulisa. This story has been completely fabricated and wasn't even sent to Tulisa's team for a chance to comment prior to publication. The decision for Tulisa to return home to the UK was agreed to by the production for welfare reasons."
