NoneWith more than half of the 16 teams still mathematically alive to make the conference championship game, the Big 12 will command a lot of attention in the final week of the regular season. No. 14 Arizona State and No. 17 Iowa State would play for the Big 12 title and likely College Football Playoff spot on Dec. 7 if they both win Saturday and there's a four-way tie for first place. There are seven other teams that begin this week with hopes, slim in most cases, of getting into the game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Last week it was No. 19 BYU and No. 23 Colorado that had the inside track to the championship game. Arizona State beat the Cougars and Kansas knocked off the Buffaloes, and here we are. "Everybody counted us out, I think, two weeks ago," Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said after his team beat Utah 31-28. "We didn't flinch. We didn't waver. And we just keep fighting." The Cyclones were national darlings the first half of the season as they won seven straight games to match the best start in program history. Back-to-back losses to Texas Tech and Kansas followed. Now they've won two straight heading into "Farmageddon," their rivalry game against Kansas State at home. "Right now they've got the pen and they continue to write the story," Campbell said of his players, "and I hope they will continue to write it the way they've got the ability to write it. Unwavering. Tough, mentally tough, physically tough. This group has stood for it every step of the way." Arizona State has been an even better story than the Cyclones. The Sun Devils have six more wins than they did last season, when they went 3-9. They were picked to finish last in their first year in the Big 12. They'll go for their fifth straight victory when they play at Arizona on Saturday. "These guys came off no momentum and everybody doubting them, and everybody is still doubting them. That's what makes this special," second-year coach Kenny Dillingham said. "Hopefully the expectations become higher. I don't know if there's a way we can exceed expectations more than we're exceeding them right now." Checking in on five of the Top 25: The Ducks were idle Saturday after clinching a spot in the Big Ten championship game with their win at Wisconsin on Nov. 16. Oregon can go 12-0 in the regular season for the first time since 2010 if it beats Washington at home this week. Oregon's only two losses last season came against the Huskies, both decided by three points. The first was a top-10 matchup in the regular season and the second was a top-five matchup in the Pac-12 championship game. The Ducks are 19 1/2-point favorites this time, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. The Buckeyes' showdown with upstart Indiana combined with Michigan's dropoff after winning the national championship have lowered the volume on this week's meeting with the Wolverines at the Horseshoe. If Michigan beats Ohio State a fourth straight time and it keeps the Buckeyes out of the Big Ten championship game and playoff ... well, there'll be lots of noise in Columbus then. The Lone Star Showdown returns to the gridiron for the first time since 2011, when Texas and Texas A&M were in the Big 12. The Longhorns head to No. 20 Texas A&M on a four-game win streak. The Aggies have lost two of three after Saturday's four-overtime loss at Auburn. The winner advances to the Southeastern Conference championship game against Georgia. The Broncos are tied with Notre Dame for the second-longest active win streak, at nine games, and they seem to have adopted a survive-and-advance mantra. They trailed 23-point underdog Wyoming in the fourth quarter before winning 17-13 and clinching a spot in the Mountain West championship game. They won their previous game, 42-21 against San Jose State, but didn't pull away until the fourth quarter. Two weeks ago they beat a three-win Nevada team 28-21. Just when you think Illinois is about to cash in for the season, they do what they did against Rutgers. The Illini were down 31-30 when they lined up for a 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds left. Ethan Moczulski missed. But wait. Rutgers called timeout before the snap, and Bret Bielema thought better of trying another kick and sent his offense back on the field. Luke Altmyer passed to Pat Bryant for the winning 40-yard touchdown. The Illini won't play for the Big Ten title, but they have a chance for nine wins and a nice bowl. Ohio State played in three of the five regular-season top-five matchups and won three of them. The Buckeyes lost to Oregon and beat Penn State and Indiana. ... Kansas' 37-21 win over Colorado made the Jayhawks the first FBS team with a losing record to beat three straight Top 25 opponents. The Jayhawks, who were 2-6 a month ago, will be bowl eligible if they win at Baylor. ... Nebraska ended the longest power conference bowl drought with its 44-25 win over Wisconsin. The Cornhuskers haven't played in a bowl since 2016. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
New York Giants (2-9) at Dallas (4-7) Thursday, 4:30 p.m. EST, Fox BetMGM NFL Odds: Cowboys by 4. Against the spread: Giants 3-8; Cowboys 3-8. Series record: Cowboys lead 76-47-2. Last meeting: Cowboys beat Giants 20-15 on Sept. 26, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Last week: Giants lost to Buccaneers 30-7; Cowboys beat Commanders 34-26. Giants offense: overall (24), rush (19), pass (28), scoring (32) Giants defense: overall (19), rush (30), pass (7), scoring (17) Cowboys offense: overall (21), rush (31), pass (8), scoring (T22) Cowboys defense: overall (27), rush (31), pass (21), scoring (31) Turnover differential: Giants minus-6; Cowboys minus-9. WR Malik Nabers. The No. 6 overall pick in the draft had a team-high six receptions for 64 yards despite not being targeted in the first half as the Giants fell behind the Bucs 23-0. Coach Brian Daboll said he is not going to let that happen again. Against Dallas in Week 4, Nabers had a season-high 12 catches for 115 yards, with a long of 39 yards. He was targeted 15 times by Daniel Jones. He sustained a concussion on the last attempt and missed the next two games. Story continues below video RB Rico Dowdle just had his second game of at least 85 yards, finishing with 86 on the road against the Commanders. The undrafted fifth-year player who has taken over as the lead back is looking to sustain momentum for the first time. After finishing with 87 yards in a victory at Pittsburgh, Dowdle came home and was held to a season-low 25 yards in a 47-9 loss to Detroit. Dallas' 31st-ranked run game has been marked by that kind of inconsistency, or worse, all season. Giants DL Dexter Lawrence vs. Cowboys OL. Lawrence is tied for sixth in the NFL with a career-high nine sacks, and the Dallas offensive front has been in flux most of the season. Injuries and youth have kept the Cowboys from establishing a rushing attack in most games. Dallas is coming off an effective showing on the ground and Cooper Rush's best performance in three starts filling in for injured star QB Dak Prescott. Lawrence will test the Cowboys' ability to get the run game going and protect Rush. Giants QB Tommy DeVito emerged with a sore throwing arm from his first start replacing the benched and subsequently released Jones. Daboll said it was uncertain whether DeVito would play and that Drew Lock would get extra reps in practice just in case. ... OLB Azeez Ojulari, who has six sacks and 10 QB hits, was placed on injured reserve with a toe injury. ... LT Jermaine Eluemunor, who started the first 11 games, was ruled out with a quad injury. ... DL Armon Watts won't play because of a shoulder issue. ... The Cowboys will be without perennial All-Pro RG Zack Martin for a second consecutive game with ankle and shoulder injuries. ... CB Trevon Diggs, a 2021 All-Pro, is questionable with groin and knee issues after also missing the Washington game. ... LG Tyler Smith, who injured an ankle about the same time Martin did late in the game against Houston on Nov. 18, says he will play after sitting against the Commanders. ... TE Jake Ferguson has been ruled out with a concussion for the second week in a row. ... WR Brandin Cooks was activated off IR. He hasn't played since the first meeting with the Giants because of a knee issue. The Cowboys have won 14 of the past 15 meetings with the Giants. Matching seven-game winning streaks for Dallas are separated by a New York victory in the 2020 season finale. ... This is the second Thanksgiving meeting in three seasons for the NFC East rivals. There had been just one before that, a 30-3 Dallas victory in 1992. The Cowboys won 28-20 two years ago. The Giants are 0-4 on the holiday since a 13-6 win at Detroit in 1982. The 16 combined losses for New York and Dallas are the most going into a Cowboys Thanksgiving game, according to Sportradar. The previous high was 14 three times, most recently in 2020 when Washington beat Dallas 41-16 in a matchup of seven-loss teams. Washington made the playoffs that season as the NFC East champ at 7-9. ... The first Dallas-New York meeting also was on Thursday. That happened last season with Green Bay and Detroit. The previous — and only other — time was 1923 with the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cardinals. ... The Giants' six-game losing streak is their longest since a nine-game skid, the franchise record, in 2019. ... The Cowboys ended a five-game losing streak with the victory at Washington but are 0-5 at home. It’s the worst home start since Dallas lost all eight games at old Texas Stadium while finishing 1-15 in 1989, the year owner Jerry Jones bought the team. The home losing streak is six going back to a wild-card loss to Green Bay in January. Before losing to the Packers, the Cowboys had won 16 in a row at AT&T Stadium. ... DeVito was 21 of 31 for 189 yards in his first action this season against the Buccaneers. He was sacked four times. ... WR Wan’Dale Robinson has 61 catches, surpassing his career high of 60 in 2023. ... Nabers has 67 catches, the most by a player in his first nine games. Puka Nacua of the Rams set the record of 64 last season. ... WR Darius Slayton had his streak of catching a pass snapped at 26 games against Tampa Bay. ... New York has gone 11 consecutive games without a positive turnover differential, extending the longest single-season streak in franchise history. ... The Giants have not intercepted a pass in 10 consecutive games, tying the NFL record held by the 1976-77 San Francisco 49ers and the 2017 Oakland Raiders. ... New York has one sack in the past three games after getting an NFL-high 35 through the first eight games. ... The Giants have the fewest points in the league (163) and they have played seven games without scoring a first-half touchdown. ... Rookie S Tyler Nubin has led New York with 12 tackles each of the past two games. ... Rush had his highest passer rating as the Dallas starter at 117.6 against the Commanders. He threw for two touchdowns with no interceptions. Rush beat the Giants for one of his victories when he went 4-1 filling in for Prescott early in 2022. He had a TD with no picks in a 23-16 win. ... WR CeeDee Lamb leads the NFL with 77 catches. He and Jarvis Landry are the only players in league history with at least 70 catches in each of their first five seasons. Lamb led the NFL last season with a career-high 135 grabs. ... Star pass rusher Micah Parsons had two sacks against the Commanders and has a sack in each of his three Thanksgiving games. ... WR/KR KaVontae Turpin, who returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown against Washington, is the fifth player since the 1970 merger to have TDs on punt and kickoff returns along with a scoring catch of at least 60 yards. The most recent was Chicago's Devin Hester in 2007. Lamb has averaged 91 yards receiving per game against the Giants in his career, but without a bunch of touchdowns (four). While the Giants lag in most team statistical categories, they do have the seventh-best pass defense in the NFL. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
SYDNEY, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IREN Limited IREN (ACN 629 842 799) ("IREN") today announced the closing of its offering of $440 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "notes") in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Key details of the transaction Oversubscribed and upsized from $300 million to $400 million, plus $40 million greenshoe Net proceeds of approximately $425.4 million 3.25% coupon, 30% conversion premium Capped call transactions entered into in connection with the notes are generally expected to provide a hedge upon conversions up to an initial cap price of $25.86 per share, which represents a 100% premium (as compared to the 30% conversion premium under the notes) Citigroup Global Markets Inc and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as joint bookrunners Oversubscribed and upsized In response to strong investor demand, IREN upsized the initial offering size of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes to $400.0 million, and the initial purchasers fully exercised their option to purchase an additional $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of December 6, 2024, between IREN and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. Use of proceeds The net proceeds from the offering are approximately $425.4 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and IREN's estimated offering expenses. IREN intends to use the net proceeds as follows: $44.4 million to fund the cost of the capped call transactions (described below) $73.7 million to fund the cost of the prepaid forward transaction (described below) General corporate purposes and working capital Capped call transactions In connection with the pricing of the notes and the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional notes, IREN entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of ordinary shares of IREN that initially underlie the notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $25.86 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of IREN's ordinary shares of $12.93 per share on December 3, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. The capped call transactions are expected to generally reduce the potential dilution to IREN's ordinary shares upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments IREN is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such offset and/or reduction subject to a cap price. If, however, the market price per ordinary share of IREN, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions. The capped call transactions will be solely cash settled unless certain conditions are satisfied. Prepaid forward transactions In connection with the pricing of the notes, IREN also entered into a prepaid forward share purchase transaction (the "prepaid forward transaction") with one of the initial purchasers of the notes or its affiliate (the "forward counterparty"), pursuant to which IREN purchased approximately $73.7 million of its ordinary shares (based on the last reported sale price of IREN's ordinary shares on the pricing date), for settlement shortly after the maturity date of the notes, subject to any early settlement, in whole or in part, of the prepaid forward transaction. The prepaid forward transaction will be solely cash settled unless certain conditions are satisfied. The prepaid forward transaction is generally intended to facilitate privately negotiated derivative transactions, including swaps, between the forward counterparty or its affiliates and investors in the notes relating to IREN's ordinary shares by which investors in the notes will establish short positions relating to IREN's ordinary shares and otherwise hedge their investments in the notes. As a result, the prepaid forward transaction is expected to allow the investors to establish short positions that generally correspond to (but may be greater than) commercially reasonable initial hedges of their investment in the notes. In the event of such greater initial hedges, investors may offset such greater portion by purchasing IREN's ordinary shares on or shortly after the day IREN prices the notes. No registration The notes were only offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the notes and any of IREN's ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any of IREN's ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares, in any state or other jurisdiction (including the United States and Australia) in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful. Forward-Looking Statements This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the completion of the offering and the expected amount and intended use of the net proceeds. Forward-looking statements represent IREN's current expectations, beliefs, and projections regarding future events and are subject to known and unknown uncertainties, risks, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are outside IREN's control and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Among those risks and uncertainties are market conditions and risks relating to IREN's business, including those described in periodic reports that IREN files from time to time with the SEC. IREN cannot provide any assurances regarding its ability to effectively apply the net proceeds after funding the cost of entering into the capped call transactions and financing the prepaid forward as described above. The forward-looking statements included in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release, and IREN does not undertake any obligation to update the forward-looking statements included in this press release for subsequent developments, except as may be required by law. For a further discussion of factors that could cause IREN's future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in IREN's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2024 and other risks described in documents filed by IREN from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Residents gather to hear updates, address concerns about cityCONOR MCGREGOR has appeared to suggest a shock showdown with Logan Paul has been FINALISED. The Notorious revealed earlier this month that he was in preliminary talks over an exhibition boxing match with the YouTube sensation. And the 36-year-old has suggested the fight - which is set to be financed by Indian billionaire Anant Ambani - is on the brink of being announced. Veteran MMA journalist Emmett Glenn reported on Sunday that McGregor is now gearing up to face the social media sensation in a Mumbai melee next year. Glenn also reveale d both men are set to earn a whopping £200MILLION ($250m) each for the South Asian slugfest. The crossover clash is said to be set to take place at the Wankhede Stadium and will be part of the country's "Visit India ' tourism campaign. And McGregor seemingly confirmed Glenn's report by quoting his post on X with a Indian flag and a love-heart emoji . Casual and hardcore fight fans were quick to comment on the seemingly done deal, with one saying: "$250M each for an exhibition fight? "That's more than most world title fights pay!" Another said: " Money talks, $250M is crazy for each." BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKER S And another said: "I'm tired of these gimick fights. Dude is scared to go back into the UFC." One remarked: "Holy s**t that will be wild! $250 mil each??" Another chimed in: "Lots of money for a boring fight." YouTube phenom Paul added even more fuel to the fire by liking an Instagram post citing the report. It was revealed last week that neither the UFC nor the WWE, who McGregor and Paul are respectively contracted to, have been approached about the bout. Both entities, however, are under the TKO Group Banner - meaning the possible punch-up would be incredible easy to make. Former two-division champion McGregor hasn't fought since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021. His next outing be his first since being found civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin Hotel in December 2018. The Irishman - who was accused of "raping and battering" Ms Hand - has vowed to appeal the verdict of last month's civil trial at Dublin 's High Court . THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

MUMBAI: France's TotalEnergies on Monday said it won't make any fresh financial contribution as part of its investments in companies of the Adani Group till it gets clarity on accusations against certain officials in the Indian conglomerate and their consequences. "Until such time when the accusations against the Adani Group individuals and their consequences have been clarified, TotalEnergies will not make any new financial contribution as part of its investments in the Adani Group of companies," TotalEnergies said in a statement. The French energy company added that it was through public announcements made by US authorities that it learnt of the indictment of certain individual Adani Group executives in relation to an alleged corruption scheme linked to the business of Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL). "This indictment does not target AGEL itself, nor any AGEL-related companies," it said. Shares of AGEL fell on the news, closing 8.05% lower at Rs 967.65 apiece on the BSE on Monday, underperforming a 1.25% rise in the benchmark Sensex. Adani Total Gas lost 1.43% to Rs 600.75 apiece. On 21 November, the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission charged Gautam Adani , his nephew Sagar Adani , and AGEL managing director and CEO Vneet Jaain over allegedly bribes of over $250 million to Indian government officials, aimed at helping AGEL secure solar energy contracts from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), which in turn collated contracts between SECI and various Indian state electricity distribution companies.

Its current shareholding is at 19.75%. As part of its strategy to grow its renewable energy portfolio in India, this September, TotalEnergies Renewables Singapore Pte Ltd and Adani Renewable Energy Sixty Four Ltd formed an equal joint venture wherein Total invested about $444 million. The JV company will house a 1,150-megawatt (MW) of renewable energy portfolio. "TotalEnergies recalls that its investments in Adani's entities were undertaken in full compliance with applicable laws, and with TotalEnergies' internal governance processes pursuant to due diligence and representations made by the sellers," the company said, adding that in particular, TotalEnergies was not made aware of the existence of an investigation into the alleged corruption scheme. Total also owns a 37.4% stake in Adani Total Gas, which operates the company's city gas distribution business that retails compressed natural gas to automobiles and piped natural gas to households for cooking. Last February, following allegations by a US short-seller, Total had put on hold a planned investment in Adani Group's $50 billion green hydrogen project. The company had in June 2022 announced its plan to buy a 25% equity in Adani New Industries Ltd, the Adani Group firm that is investing $50 billion over 10 years in the green hydrogen business.

Trump picks ex-senator Perdue as US envoy to China
Jedd Fisch has a busy few weeks ahead of him. The Huskies may not be preparing for conference championship weekend this year, but next week begins one of the most crucial periods for UW’s 2025 season. “At that point in time, we can really visit what it's going to look like in the future,” Fisch said on Monday. “What’s the 2025 calendar year going to look like and what’s the team going to look like moving forward.” Washington plays No. 1 Oregon in Eugene on Saturday, kicking off a chaotic two-week period for Fisch and the Huskies. Early signing day for high school football recruits is Dec. 4. UW will find out where and when its bowl game will be on Dec. 8. Then, on Dec. 9, the winter transfer portal opens. Players will be able to enter their name until Dec. 28. “We’ll be ready for all that,” Fisch said on Monday. “We expect to make some play on some guys when they enter the portal from other programs, and we expect to have to fight hard to keep our team in check. And we’re looking forward to doing that.” Like most coaches, Fisch said he knows it’s unlikely Washington will have zero players enter the transfer portal. He said the coaching staff will have discussions with all the players on UW’s roster following the game against Oregon about where they fit in the program and what their future at Washington looks like going forward. Fisch said these meetings cover lots of different topics. Players want to know if they have a path toward playing time. They want to know how they fit into the program’s vision and how the coaching staff plans to develop them. NIL opportunities, of course, are also a major concern. Starting this summer, student-athletes will also be able to earn revenue-sharing money directly from the university. The House v. NCAA settlement received preliminary approval in October and has a hearing for final approval set for April 7, 2025, so Fisch said he and his staff will also have to explain what those opportunities will look like for his players next season, too. “It’s a matter of making sure that if you do lose a player in the portal — or a player chooses to go in the portal — it’s a good decision for everybody,” Fisch said. “You hate to see people go in there with nowhere to go. You hate to see people go in there and then feel like they’re missing out on something special. “But on that same token, we also know that some people just want to go and play, and they might see a better opportunity to play somewhere else.” Fisch also acknowledged some of his players have already had NIL collectives from other teams inquire about potentially entering the portal. This is not a recruiting violation because of a lawsuit brought against the NCAA by the states of Tennessee and Virginia earlier in 2023 which resulted in a federal judge providing a temporary preliminary injunction against the NCAA, preventing it from enforcing its NIL rules for recruits. While coaches and members of a school’s athletic department cannot reach out directly, NIL collectives, as third-party companies, are not subject to similar restrictions under the current injunction. Fisch also noted other third-party intermediaries or even friends of players on other rosters will occasionally enquire about a player’s potential entry into the transfer portal. “I don’t know exactly who they are — or maybe I do — but of course that’s going on,” Fisch said. “It’s the nature of the beast that we’re living in right now. We’re living in a world where the deregulation of college football has turned it into a little bit of the wild, wild West.” The addition of revenue sharing will also impact how UW approaches the 2025 transfer portal. Fisch noted every program and team will use its money differently, similar to NFL roster construction. For example, the UW coach said Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, Fisch’s college roommate at Florida, likes to invest heavily in offensive and defensive linemen, then quarterbacks before trying to trade for skill-position players. Other general managers, Fisch said, may prefer to have an elite wide receiver or running back. This season, however, Fisch said his number one priority — both in high-school recruiting and in the transfer portal — is helping UW get bigger. Fisch has repeatedly said he expects to build UW’s offensive line through high-school prospects. He previously noted most good offensive linemen don’t enter the transfer portal because they’re so valuable, and every program competes for the few who decide to go somewhere else. The Huskies currently have six offensive linemen committed to their 2025 recruiting class: Zac Stascausky, Jack Shaffer, Champ Taulealea, Peter Langi, Jake Flores and Lowen Colman-Brusa. Stascausky and Taulealea are both considered four-star prospects by 247Sports composite rankings. All six players weigh 275 pounds or heavier, and can sign with UW on Dec. 4. Washington has enjoyed some relative success adding defensive linemen from the transfer portal. Senior defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez, for example, has racked up 39 tackles including 4.5 for a loss, two sacks and a pass breakup since transferring from Montana State. Valdez also has 19 pressures and 13 hurries according to Pro Football Focus, making him one of UW’s most valuable 2024 transfer portal additions. “We’re recognizing the transition from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten starts up front,” Fisch said. “When we look at our games and how we’ve played, we see that there’s some size differential between us and the top six or seven programs that have been recruiting in the Big Ten for years and years. We need to use resources to make sure we get big. How quickly we can get big will be the test.” While Fisch thinks about building his offensive and defensive lines going forward, he said he’s still focused on putting out UW’s best effort against Oregon this Saturday at Autzen Stadium. He added his message to his players has been to get through this weekend before worrying about the future. “Let’s spend six days trying to beat Oregon, let’s just do that,” Fisch said. “Let’s not worry about who’s reaching out, and who’s trying to get what, and what money looks like, and what negotiations look like. Let’s do everything we can to beat Oregon.”Final crystal triangles installed on Times Square ball ahead of New Year's Eve
Mister Car Wash's general counsel sells $4,360 in stockNoneNEW YORK (AP) — A number of President-elect Donald Trump 's most prominent Cabinet picks and appointees have been targeted by bomb threats and “swatting attacks," Trump's transition team said Wednesday. The FBI said it was investigating. “Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. The attacks ranged from bomb threats to swatting, in which attackers initiate an emergency law enforcement response against a target victim under false pretenses, she said. The tactic has become a popular one in recent years. Leavitt said law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted and Trump and his transition team are grateful. Among those targeted were New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s pick to serve as the next ambassador to the United Nations ; Matt Gaetz, Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general ; Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, whom Trump chose to lead the Department of Labor , and former New York congressman Lee Zeldin, who has been tapped to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Law enforcement officials are also looking into whether Susie Wiles, Trump’s incoming chief of staff, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general whom Trump has chosen as Gaetz’s replacement, and other incoming administration officials were also victims — as well as how each was targeted, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity as the investigation continues. Wiles and Bondi did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The FBI said in a statement that it was “aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees" and was investigating with its law enforcement partners. White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma said President Joe Biden had been briefed and the White House is in touch with federal law enforcement and Trump's transition team. Biden “continues to monitor the situation closely," Sharma said, adding the president and his administration “condemn threats of political violence.” Stefanik's office said that, on Wednesday morning, she, her husband, and their 3-year-old son were driving home from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence in Saratoga County. Police swept Stefanik’s home on Wednesday morning in response to the bomb threat but did not locate any explosive devices, New York State Police said. Zeldin said in a social media post that he and his family had also been threatened. “A pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Palestinian themed message,” he wrote on X . “My family and I were not home at the time and are safe." In Florida, the Okaloosa County sheriff’s office said on Facebook that it “received notification of a bomb threat referencing former Congressman Matt Gaetz’s supposed mailbox at a home in the Niceville area" Wednesday. While a family member resides at the address, the office said, Gaetz “is NOT a resident.” No threatening devices were found. Gaetz was Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general, but he withdrew from consideration after allegations that he paid women for sex and slept with underage women. Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, and a Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations ended with no charges against him. The threats follow a political campaign marked by disturbing and unprecedented violence. In July, a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing the then-candidate in the ear with a bullet and killing one of his supporters. The Secret Service later thwarted a subsequent assassination attempt at Trump's West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course when an agent spotted the barrel of a gun poking through a perimeter fence while Trump was golfing. Trump was also the subject of an Iranian murder-for-hire plot , with a man saying he had been tasked with planning the assassination of the Republican president-elect. Also this week, authorities arrested a man they say posted videos on social media threatening to kill Trump, according to court documents. In one video posted on Nov. 13, Manuel Tamayo-Torres threatened to shoot the former president while holding what appeared to be an AR-15 style rifle, authorities said Among the other videos he posted was one from an arena in Glendale, Arizona on Aug. 23, the same day Trump held a campaign rally there, according to court papers. An attorney for Tamayo-Torres did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Public figures across the political spectrum have been targeted in recent years by hoax bomb threats and false reports of shootings at their homes. About a year ago the FBI responded to an uptick in such incidents at the homes of public officials, state capitols and courthouses across the country around the holidays. Many were locked down and evacuated in early January after receiving bomb threats. No explosives were found and no one was hurt. Some of those targeted last year were Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. The judges overseeing the civil fraud case against Trump in New York and the criminal election interference case against him in Washington were both targeted earlier this year. Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, who recently abandoned the two criminal cases he brought against Trump, was also the subject of a fake emergency call on Christmas Day last year. Earlier this year, schools, government buildings and the homes of city officials in Springfield, Ohio, received a string of hoax bomb threats after Trump falsely accused members of Springfield’s Haitian community of abducting and eating cats and dogs. And in 2022, a slew of historically Black colleges and universities nationwide were targeted with dozens of bomb threats, with the vast majority arriving during the celebration of Black History Month. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement Wednesday that anytime a member of Congress is the victim of a swatting' incident, “we work closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners.” The force declined to provide further details, in part to “minimize the risk of copy-cats.” Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called the threats “dangerous and unhinged.” “This year, there was not just one but TWO assassination attempts on President Trump," he wrote on X . “Now some of his Cabinet nominees and their families are facing bomb threats.” He added: “It is not who we are in America.” ___ Richer reported from Washington.

Cowboys set for Thanksgiving visit from Giants after ending 5-game losing streakChloe Madeley has opened up about the struggles she faced in the final year of her marriage to James Haskell, describing it as "awful," "dark" and "painful." The pair, who separated in October 2023, have a young daughter together. Despite the difficulties, Chloe, aged 37, spoke of her sense of relief at ending the relationship, insisting it was best for their two year old daughter, Bodhi, to not grow up thinking such a strained partnership was normal. Though Chloe has chosen not to disclose the full reasons behind their split, she acknowledges the role of her daughter in her decision to leave. She is keen to shield both her parents, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, and Bodhi from the experiences she endured. Speaking to The Sun, Chloe said: "When you tell people that you are divorcing, everyone sees it as such a negative thing. Read more Kelvin Fletcher's marriage to Liz and reason they split before tying the knot "They say: 'This is going to be so hard for you.' And, yes, it is, but the hardest bit was when we were married. The last year of the marriage was awful. It was so dark, painful, and one of the worst periods of my life. It's a good thing we ended it." She reflected on the challenge of moving forward, remarking: "It was so incredibly scary. I'm amazed I got through it in the way that I did. I think more people should see it as a positive thing. I'm so proud of myself and so relieved that I actually called it a day." Chloe has revealed she's back on the dating scene, but hasn't yet found someone who feels right for her. This update comes after reports that she's "happy" and prioritizing herself following the breakdown of her marriage to rugby player James. The couple, who married in 2018 and had a child four years later, had their tumultuous relationship documented on their ITV reality show before announcing their split. According to a source, Chloe is now in a positive place, with a thriving coaching business and a newfound focus on her own happiness. Chloe previously described the breakup as "awful" in an interview, stating: "I'm never going to go into great detail about why we broke up because it's not fair on anyone and I wouldn't want him to either, but what I will say is it was f*****g awful. Part of the reason we wanted to end it was because we wanted it to stop being awful, so why would we then take that into a break up and it continue being awful?" The ex-rugby player's busy international DJ schedule reportedly caused tension in their marriage and sparked rumours of marital problems after he was seen partying with women other than Chloe. Prior to the announcement of their separation, Chloe admitted that one of their biggest rows - which was also broadcast on their reality show - happened when James "was in Ibiza and posted photos of other girls' a***s". Chloe expressed at the time that she felt disrespected by her then husband because even though she understood that was his job, she didn't want it displayed on social media "when everyone knows I'm your wife'."
