LINCOLN — Nebraska produced a touchdown and field goal in a 15-second span to end the first half to extend its lead over Wisconsin to 24-10 into intermission on Saturday. The Huskers produced three offensive touchdowns in all including one with 17 seconds left. Dylan Raiola lofted a pass to Jahmal Banks, who got a foot inbounds in the back of the end zone for a 5-yard score set up by a Wisconsin pass-interference call. UW running back Tawee Walker then ran the ball with 16 seconds left — Ty Robinson forced a fumble and Stefon Thompson recovered. John Hohl tacked on a 37-yard field goal as Nebraska added to its lead against a Big Ten foe it hasn’t beaten in a dozen years. The Huskers opened the game with perhaps their crispest offensive drive in more than a month set up by a season-long kickoff return of 45 yards from Jacory Barney. An Emmett Johnson 15-yard dart up the middle and an intermediate toss to Banks over the middle for 21 yards — Raiola got the ball out just ahead of a blitzer — provided the chunk gains. Heinrich Haarberg came on for a keeper on second and goal from the 5, bowling over multiple Badgers on the right side for his first touchdown of the season. Wisconsin countered immediately with its own score across six plays and 82 yards. Receiver Vinny Anthony shed a tackle for a 42-yard catch-and-run to flip the field and two plays later caught a fade from Braedyn Locke over Marques Buford in the back right corner of the end zone. NU challenged the call — Anthony lost the ball after he landed out of bounds — but officials upheld the ruling. Two offenses that have struggled in the Big Ten looked the part for a stretch from there. Nebraska went three plays and punted. Wisconsin managed one first down and stalled, with Willis McGahee IV forcing one incompletion by reaching Locke and Javin Wright generating another on a third-down deflection to the sideline. A Nebraska disaster followed as Raiola faked a pitch left and rolled right for an underhanded throw to Janiran Bonner, who fumbled the ball into the arms of defensive lineman Ben Barten. But the Badgers moved backward and kicker Nathanial Vakos hooked a 34-yard field goal wide left. The Huskers swung the momentum further their way as Johnson immediately picked up 27 yards on a screen and Barney snagged a shovel pass and live-wired his way downfield for 21 more. An 11-yard completion to Jahmal Banks on a third-and-9 comebacker kept the drive going and Dante Dowdell soon after crossed the goal line untouched from 12 yards out up the middle. Nebraska’s 14-7 lead was short lived thanks on part to an unsportsmanlike conduct flag against offensive lineman Micah Mazzccua for spiking the ball after the score. The penalty help set up the Badgers near midfield and they eventually settled for a 33-yard field goal after a 19-yard run from Tawee Walker. The Husker offense stalled quickly, with punter Brian Buschini pinning UW at its own 3-yard line with a 47-yard boot out of bounds. Wisconsin moved downfield — a 27-yard pass to a wide-open Chris Brooks on the left sideline here, a shovel pass to Trech Kekahuna for 22 there — but ultimately fizzled and Vakos missed well left on a 41-yard attempt. NU rode Johnson again in the final minutes including runs of 14 and 7 yards while Raiola found Banks and Luke Lindenmeyer for 15 and 8, respectively. The march ended with the touchdown pass to Banks and a 21-10 lead.

Radical Jaguar rebrand and new logo sparks ire online NEW YORK (AP) — A promotional video for a rebrand of British luxury car brand Jaguar is being criticized online for showing models in brightly colored outfits — and no car. The rebrand, which includes a new logo, is slated to launch Dec. 2 during Miami Art Week, when the company will unveil a new electric model. But Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of India’s Tata Motors Ltd., has been promoting it online. The Jaguar brand is in the middle of a transition to going all-electric. “Copy Nothing,” marketing materials read. “We’re here to delete the ordinary. To go bold.

Kennedy was assassinated as his motorcade passed through downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Even after over six decades, conspiracy theories about what happened that day still swirl and the desire to follow every thread of information hasn’t waned. President-elect Donald Trump made promises over the summer that if reelected he would declassify the remaining records. At this point, only a few thousand of millions of pages of records related to the assassination have yet to be fully released. And those who have studied what's been released so far say that the public shouldn’t anticipate any earth-shattering revelations even if the remaining files are declassified. Bitcoin is at the doorstep of $100,000 as post-election rally rolls on NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, rising above $98,000 for the first time Thursday. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. NFL issues security alert to teams and the players' union following recent burglaries The NFL has issued a security alert to teams and the players’ union following recent burglaries involving the homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, the league says homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” Law enforcement officials noted these groups target the homes on days the athletes have games. Players were told to take precautions and implement home security measures to reduce the risk of being targeted. Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets. Penn State wins trademark case over retailer's use of vintage logos, images PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Penn State has won a closely watched trademark fight over an online retailer’s use of its vintage logos and images. A Pennsylvania jury awarded Penn State $28,000 in damages earlier this week over products made and sold by the firms Vintage Brand and Sportswear Inc. Penn State accused the firms of selling counterfeit clothing and accessories. The defendants said their website makes clear they are not affiliated with Penn State. At least a dozen other schools have sued the defendants on similar grounds, but the Pennsylvania case was the first to go to trial. Defense lawyers declined to comment on the verdict and whether they planned an appeal. Has a waltz written by composer Frederic Chopin been discovered in an NYC museum? NEW YORK (AP) — A previously unknown musical work written by composer Frederic Chopin appears to have been found in a library in New York City. The Morgan Library & Museum says the untitled and unsigned piece is the first new manuscript of the Romantic era virtuoso to be discovered in nearly a century. Robinson McClellan, the museum’s curator, says he stumbled across the work in May while going through a collection brought to the Manhattan museum years earlier. He worked with outside experts to verify the document's authenticity. But there’s debate whether the waltz is an original Chopin work or merely one written in his hand. Volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupts for the 7th time in a year GRINDAVIK, Iceland (AP) — A volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland is spewing lava from a fissure in its seventh eruption since December. Iceland's seismic monitors said the eruption started with little warning late Wednesday and created a long fissure but looked to be smaller than eruptions in August and May. Around 50 houses were evacuated after the Civil Protection agency issued the alert, along with guests at the famous Blue Lagoon resort, according to the national broadcaster. The repeated eruptions over the past year have caused damage to the town of Grindavík and forced people to relocate. Australian teen and British woman who drank tainted alcohol in Laos have died, bringing toll to 5 VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — An Australian teenager and a British woman have died after drinking tainted alcohol in Laos in what Australia’s prime minister said was every parent’s nightmare. Officials earlier said an American and two Danish tourists also had died following reports that multiple people had been sickened in town popular with backpackers. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Parliament that 19-year-old Bianca Jones had died after being evacuated from Vang Vieng, Laos, for treatment in a Thai hospital. Her friend, also 19, remains hospitalized in Thailand. Later Thursday, Britain said a British woman also died and the media in the U.K. identified her as 28-year-old Simone White. US ahead in AI innovation, easily surpassing China in Stanford's new ranking The U.S. leads the world in developing artificial intelligence technology, surpassing China in research and other important measures of AI innovation, according to a newly released Stanford University index. There’s no surefire way to rank global AI leadership but Stanford researchers have made an attempt by measuring the “vibrancy” of the AI industry across a variety of dimensions, from how much research and investment is happening to how responsibly the technology is being pursued to prevent harm. Following the U.S. and China were the United Kingdom, India and the United Arab Emirates. Pop star Ed Sheeran helps favorite soccer team sign player before getting on stage with Taylor Swift It turns out British pop star Ed Sheeran is also good at recruiting soccer players. Sheeran is a minority shareholder at English soccer team Ipswich Town and it needed his help over the summer to get a player to join the club. Ipswich CEO Mark Ashton tells a Soccerex industry event in Miami: “Ed jumped on a Zoom call with him at the training ground, just before he stepped on stage with Taylor Swift. Hopefully that was a key part in getting the player across the line.” Ashton didn’t disclose the player in question, saying only: “He’s certainly scoring a few goals.”
Chinese electronics maker Xiaomi said on Monday it expects to launch its first SUV, the YU7, next June or July as it ventures deeper into China's competitive car market. The company announced the launch on China's social media platform Weibo alongside an image of the YU7 parked beside its first electric vehicle, the SU7 sedan, with the two cars sporting similar designs. Information posted by China's ministry of industry and information technology showed the YU7 is a pure electric SUV boasting a top speed of 253km/h. The car will be powered by batteries produced by a unit of China's CATL. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said on his Weibo account the key specifications for the YU7 were disclosed early to allow “more comprehensive and extensive large-scale testing” over an extended period. Last month, Xiaomi raised its EV delivery target for the third time to 130,000 units this year to meet surging demand. The smartphone and electronic device maker entered China's crowded EV market in March with the launch of the SU7 series, a Porsche lookalike with a starting price of less than $30,000 (about R533,416). In October, the company unveiled a luxury variant of the SU7, priced to rival Tesla's Model S Plaid, while touting its performance with a record lap time at Germany's gruelling Nurburgring track. Xiaomi reported a 30.5% jump in its third-quarter revenue this year, surpassing analysts' estimate. China's car sales grew at its fastest pace since January last month, boosted by government-subsidised car trade-ins.Aston Villa 3-1 Brentford (Dec 4, 2024) Game Analysis - ESPNThe Boston Celtics pretty much have a superstar starting five, and a few stars to come off the bench right away. However, their deep bench could use a little work. In a proposed trade by Celtics on SI’s Ryan Stano , the Celtics could increase their depth by acquiring Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets. This season, Milton is averaging seven points, two rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes of playing time. He also is shooting a nice 38% from deep. In the trade, the Celtics would get Milton, and the Nets would get Jaden Springer and a second-rounder. This works for the Nets because they aren’t in a position to win at all, and getting a young prospect and an asset could be useful for a future rebuild. For the Celtics, they get someone who can come off the bench and fit into their play style seamlessly. He is a great defender, and can come off the bench and launch threes. Should the Celtics consider this trade? Possibly. Their past few games have been a little hectic, and getting some bench depth could help resolve that.

Giants say their character will be tested in final games: It would be 'easy' to quit on the seasonTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Luke Kromenhoek threw for 209 yards and tossed three touchdown passes as Florida State halted a six-game losing streak and routed Charleston Southern 41-7 on Saturday. Kromenhoek completed 13 of 20 passes in his first college start, including a 71-yard touchdown pass to Ja’Khi Douglas, as the Seminoles (2-9) won for the first time since Sept. 21. The true freshman also connected with Amaree Williams for a 4-yard TD and Hykeem Williams for a 10-yard TD. Florida State had the nation’s lowest scoring offense at 13.3 points. The Seminoles hadn’t scored more than 21 points or surpassed the 300-yard mark in 2024. But Florida State overwhelmed FCS Charleston Southern (1-11), accumulating 415 offensive yards. Kaleb Jackson completed 22 of 32 passes for 218 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Landon Sauers, and an interception for the Buccaneers. The takeaway Charleston Southern: While the Buccaneers found some success through the air, they couldn’t sustain drives and managed just 57 rushing yards on 29 carries. Florida State: The Seminoles picked up a season-best 176 rushing yards, scoring 17 points in the second quarter and 14 points in the third quarter to take control. Up next Charleston Southern’s season is over. Florida State plays host to Florida on Nov. 30.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has promised to as soon as he gets into office to make good on campaign promises aiming and redefining what it means to be American. But any efforts to halt the policy would face steep legal hurdles. Birthright citizenship means anyone born in the United States automatically becomes an American citizen. It’s been in place for decades and applies to children born to someone in the country illegally or in the U.S. on a tourist or student visa who plans to return to their home country. It’s not the practice of every country, and Trump and his supporters have argued that the system is being abused and that there should be tougher standards for becoming an American citizen. But others say this is a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, it would be extremely difficult to overturn and even if it’s possible, it’s a bad idea. Here’s a look at birthright citizenship, what Trump has said about it and the prospects for ending it: During an interview Sunday on Trump said he “absolutely” planned to halt birthright citizenship once in office. “We’re going to end that because it’s ridiculous,” he said. Trump and other opponents of birthright citizenship have argued that it creates an incentive for people to come to the U.S. illegally or take part in pregnant women enter the U.S. specifically to give birth so their children can have citizenship before returning to their home countries. “Simply crossing the border and having a child should not entitle anyone to citizenship,” said Eric Ruark, director of research for NumbersUSA, which argues for reducing immigration. The organization supports changes that would require at least one parent to be a permanent legal resident or a U.S. citizen for their children to automatically get citizenship. Others have argued that ending birthright citizenship would profoundly damage the country. “One of our big benefits is that people born here are citizens, are not an illegal underclass. There’s better assimilation and integration of immigrants and their children because of birthright citizenship,” said Alex Nowrasteh, vice president for economic and social policy studies at the pro-immigration Cato Institute. In 2019, the Migration Policy Institute estimated that 5.5 million children under age 18 lived with at least one parent in the country illegally in 2019, representing 7% of the U.S. child population. The vast majority of those children were U.S. citizens. The nonpartisan think tank said during Trump’s campaign for president in 2015 that the number of people in the country illegally would “balloon” if birthright citizenship were repealed, creating “a self-perpetuating class that would be excluded from social membership for generations.” In the aftermath of the Civil War, Congress ratified the 14th Amendment in July 1868. That amendment assured citizenship for all, including Black people. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” the 14th Amendment says. “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” But the 14th Amendment didn’t always translate to everyone being afforded birthright citizenship. For example, it wasn’t until 1924 that Congress finally granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the U.S. A key case in the history of birthright citizenship came in 1898, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Wong Kim Ark, born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the states. The federal government had tried to deny him reentry into the county after a trip abroad on grounds he wasn’t a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some have argued that the 1898 case clearly applied to children born of parents who are both legal immigrants to America but that it’s less clear whether it applies to children born to parents without legal status or, for example, who come for a short-term like a tourist visa. “That is the leading case on this. In fact, it’s the only case on this,” said Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports immigration restrictions. “It’s a lot more of an open legal question than most people think.” Some proponents of immigration restrictions have argued the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment allows the U.S. to deny citizenship to babies born to those in the country illegally. Trump himself used that language in his 2023 announcement that he would aim to end birthright citizenship if reelected. Trump wasn’t clear in his Sunday interview how he aims to end birthright citizenship. Asked how he could get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action, Trump said: “Well, we’re going to have to get it changed. We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.” Pressed further on whether he’d use an executive order, Trump said “if we can, through executive action.” He gave a lot more details in a . In it, he said he would issue an executive order the first day of his presidency, making it clear that federal agencies “require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their future children to become automatic U.S. citizens.” Trump wrote that the executive order would make clear that children of people in the U.S. illegally “should not be issued passports, Social Security numbers, or be eligible for certain taxpayer funded welfare benefits.” This would almost certainly end up in litigation. Nowrasteh from the Cato Institute said the law is clear that birthright citizenship can’t be ended by executive order but that Trump may be inclined to take a shot anyway through the courts. “I don’t take his statements very seriously. He has been saying things like this for almost a decade,” Nowrasteh said. “He didn’t do anything to further this agenda when he was president before. The law and judges are near uniformly opposed to his legal theory that the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States are not citizens.” Trump could steer Congress to pass a law to end birthright citizenship but would still face a legal challenge that it violates the Constitution.From UN delegate to PM: A six-decade view of Manmohan Singh
