COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Arkansas defensive end Landon Jackson was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a neck injury late in the first half of Saturday's game at No. 24 Missouri. Jackson appeared to injure his neck while trying to tackle Missouri running back Jamal Roberts. Medical personnel tended to Jackson for approximately 10 minutes before he was placed on a backboard and driven to a waiting ambulance. Jackson gave a thumbs-up sign as he was carted off the snow-covered field. Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek said Jackson had movement in his arms and legs but was experiencing pain in his neck. He said Jackson was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Jackson leads the Razorbacks with 9 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks, and is considered a potential first-round pick in next year's NFL draft.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. , Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.516 billion , $66 .0 million above the mid-point of the Company's guidance provided on August 29, 2024 . GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $(676.3) million, or $(0.78) per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $373 .0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the third quarter was $536.3 million . "Marvell's fiscal third quarter 2025 revenue grew 19% sequentially, well above the mid-point of our guidance, driven by strong demand from AI. For the fourth quarter, we are forecasting another 19% sequential revenue growth at the midpoint of guidance, while year-over-year, we expect revenue growth to accelerate significantly to 26%, marking the beginning of a new era of growth for Marvell," said Matt Murphy , Marvell's Chairman and CEO. "The exceptional performance in the third quarter, and our strong forecast for the fourth quarter, are primarily driven by our custom AI silicon programs, which are now in volume production, further augmented by robust ongoing demand from cloud customers for our market-leading interconnect products. We look forward to a strong finish to this fiscal year and expect substantial momentum to continue in fiscal 2026." Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2025 Financial Outlook GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using basic weighted-average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

A replay of the call can be accessed by dialing 1-888-660-6345 or 1-646-517-4150, passcode 47973# until Tuesday, December 10, 2024 . Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring and other related charges (including, but not limited to, asset impairment charges, recognition of future contractual obligations, employee severance costs, and facilities related charges), resolution of legal matters, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core business. Although Marvell excludes the amortization of all acquired intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase price accounting arising from acquisitions, and that such amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Marvell's revenues earned during the periods presented and are expected to contribute to Marvell's future period revenues as well. Marvell uses a non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This non-GAAP tax rate is based on Marvell's estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from Marvell's non-GAAP income, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency, and excludes tax deductions and benefits from acquired tax loss and credit carryforwards and changes in valuation allowance on acquired deferred tax assets. Marvell's non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate such as tax law changes; acquisitions; significant changes in Marvell's geographic mix of revenue and expenses; or changes to Marvell's corporate structure. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a non-GAAP tax rate of 7.0% has been applied to the non-GAAP financial results. Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. Externally, management believes that investors may find Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Marvell's operating performance and the valuation of Marvell. Internally, Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas: Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Marvell's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Marvell's results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

Southern California defense contractors optimistic Trump administration could create jobs locallyAs of 2024, the wealthiest individuals in Canada come from diverse industries ranging from media and technology to retail and real estate. As a group, their wealth has ballooned over the last two decades, the combined net worth of the 10 richest Canadians is now $261 billion According to Maclean here are the top 10 wealthiest Canadians with a combined net worth of$261 billion The Thomson family fortune began with Roy Thomson, who transformed a single newspaper into a global publishing empire. After his death in 1976, his son, Kenneth, inherited both the business and the peerage title of Baron Thomson of Fleet. Over three decades, Kenneth expanded the company’s reach through strategic acquisitions, eventually selling its newspaper holdings in 2000 to focus on digital information, such as financial data. Read also: 30 Wealthiest families in the world in 2024, worth over $2 tn In 2002, Kenneth passed the reins of Thomson Corporation to his eldest son, David, shortly before his own death. Under David’s leadership, the company made its most significant acquisition: the $17 billion purchase of global newswire Reuters. Today, Thomson Reuters stands as a global information powerhouse, providing data, software, and services to industries like finance, law, and journalism. Over the past five years, its stock has surged more than 15o per cent, reaching $231.42 per share at the time of valuation. The Thomson family’s holding company, Woodbridge, owns approximately 70 per cent of Thomson Reuters. The family’s influence extends well beyond Thomson Reuters. Woodbridge owns The Globe and Mail, with David serving as chair, and holds a minority stake in BCE Inc., the parent company of Bell Canada. David also co-owns the Winnipeg Jets hockey team, while Woodbridge maintains a minority interest in the Montreal Canadiens. While the Thomson fortune is to benefit future generations, the hereditary title of Baron Thomson of Fleet will pass to only one: David’s 18-year-old son, Benjamin.

After moving to Canada as a teenager, he graduated from McGill University with a degree in computer science. In 2017, Zhao founded Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange that quickly became the world’s largest by trading volume, boasting a market cap of approximately $90 billion. He owns 90% of Binance and nearly two-thirds of its native token, BNB, which ranked as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, valued at over $600 per unit as of September. Despite his financial success, Zhao’s journey has faced significant legal hurdles. Late last year, he pleaded guilty to failing to implement an effective anti-money laundering program and spent the summer in prison. He stepped down as CEO, and Binance was hit with a $4.3 billion fine. Although Zhao was released from custody on September 27, legal challenges persist. Binance remains under scrutiny by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which alleges violations of federal securities laws, including operating unregistered national securities exchanges. Galen Weston Jr. rose to prominence as the relatable face of Loblaw’s President’s Choice brand, appearing in a popular series of television commercials. In 2020, he took control of Wittington Canada, the family’s holding company, which owns a controlling stake in George Weston Ltd. This company holds the majority share in Loblaw Companies Limited, whose grocery chains include No Frills, Valu-mart, and Provigo. Over the past three years, Loblaw’s stock price has tripled, despite growing concerns over the rising cost of food. Beyond groceries, George Weston Ltd. is a major player in real estate, owning 61 per cent of Choice Properties REIT. This real estate investment trust manages over 700 retail and industrial properties across Canada, with Loblaw as its primary tenant. Weston’s personal assets include a sprawling 500-acre estate near Caledon, Ontario.

Their diverse portfolio spans industries such as forestry, oil, real estate, media, construction, food, retail, shipbuilding, and transportation. For decades, the family empire flourished under the leadership of brothers James (J.K.), Arthur, and John (Jack). However, recent shifts suggest a new chapter for the dynasty. Irving Oil, which operates Canada’s largest oil refinery, underwent a strategic review last year, sparking speculation about a potential sale. The refinery sources most of its oil from the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria, making it an attractive asset for international buyers. Adding to the changes, Arthur’s daughter, Sarah, recently exited the company. Despite these transitions, the Irving legacy remains firmly rooted in the province. J.D. Irving, the family’s forestry, shipbuilding, and transportation conglomerate, is now managed by J.K.’s sons, Jim and Robert. The passing of both Arthur and J.K. earlier this year, each in their nineties, marked the end of an era—but the Irving name is poised to dominate New Brunswick’s landscape for generations to come.

Under the leadership of Harrison and Wallace McCain, the company expanded into a global frozen foods powerhouse. However, in the 1990s, a family feud over leadership led Wallace to part ways, taking his sons, Michael and Scott, with him to acquire a substantial stake in Maple Leaf Foods. Today, both Harrison and Wallace have passed away, but Scott McCain has returned to McCain Foods as chair. The company, now generating $14 billion in annual revenue, continues to thrive. (This valuation of the McCain family excludes Michael McCain, who maintains a stake in Maple Leaf Foods.)

It was there he met Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the founders of Google, and provided them with a $100,000 investment during their startup phase. This early gamble transformed into a stake worth over $1 billion. Cheriton’s time at Stanford also led to a partnership with German tech innovator Andy von Bechtolsheim. Together, they co-founded Arista Networks in 2008, a leading computer networking company specializing in data center and AI networking. Cheriton’s share in Arista alone exceeds $5 billion. Although he retired from teaching at Stanford in 2016, Cheriton remains deeply involved in the tech sector. Residing in Palo Alto, California, he continues to invest in emerging technology firms and serves as Chief Data Centre Scientist at Juniper Networks, a prominent networking hardware company.

Ted Rogers transformed a Toronto radio station into Rogers Communications, a telecom giant that owns assets such as the Toronto Blue Jays, a stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, and Canada’s largest wireless network. Before his death in 2008, Ted established the Rogers Control Trust to keep the company within the family. The trust holds 97.5% of the company’s voting shares and 9.89% of its non-voting shares, with Ted’s son, Edward Rogers III, serving as chair. This governance structure sparked a high-profile family feud over control of the empire, drawing comparisons to the drama of Succession. Tensions eased in January when Melinda Rogers-Hixon and Martha Rogers, two of Ted’s daughters, stepped down from the board. Their sister, Lisa Rogers, joined the board in 2023, while Ed solidified his leadership by being elevated from chair to executive chair of the Rogers board in August. Joseph Tsai, co-founder and chair of Alibaba, holds a 1.4 per cent stake in the Chinese e-commerce giant he helped establish. As chair, Tsai is navigating the company through challenging times, with its market value down 64% since 2020. This decline stems from Beijing’s crackdown on big tech, which has introduced stricter regulations, imposed fines for monopolistic practices, and blocked major deals, including the IPO of Alibaba’s affiliate, Ant Group. In June, Tsai sold a minority stake in BSE Global—the owner of the Brooklyn Nets—to billionaire Julia Koch. His family office, Blue Pool Capital, also recently acquired a Manhattan penthouse for $188 million, adding to the two units he already owns in the same Central Park-facing building.

Key assets include Pattison Outdoor Advertising, Pattison Media, Ripley Entertainment, Great Wolf Lodge, Guinness World Records, and Pattison Food Group, which encompasses Save-On-Foods and Monte Cristo Bakery. Pattison is also known for his philanthropy, donating 10 per cent of his annual income to charitable causes and committing to giving away half of his fortune during his lifetime and beyond. In addition to his private ventures, Pattison holds stakes in companies like West Fraser Timber, Westshore Terminals, and Canfor, collectively valued at over $2.8 billion.

Paul Desmarais Sr. established a $5-billion empire with Power Corporation of Canada, an asset management firm, before passing away in 2013. His legacy was passed down to his four children via the Desmarais Family Residuary Trust. For 24 years, his sons André and Paul Jr. co-led the Montreal-based company, overseeing numerous acquisitions. Today, their sons, Paul III and Olivier, are focused on attracting younger, tech-savvy investors. Paul III leads the company’s fintech division, which includes an investment in Wealthsimple, while Olivier chairs Power Sustainable, a climate-conscious alternative asset management firm. Alongside the family trust’s stake in Power Corporation, the Desmarais family members, including André, Paul Jr., Paul III, and Olivier, also hold personal shares in the company.

Healthy soil is indispensable to life on Earth, sustaining nearly 60% of all living species. As the second-largest carbon reservoir after oceans, soil is also among our planet’s most important natural assets in the fight against climate change. But the world’s soils are under immense strain. Droughts are increasingly turning fertile land into deserts, while pesticide use drastically reduces soil biodiversity, threatening our ability to produce healthy food. As high-quality agricultural land becomes scarcer, conflicts over shrinking topsoil – critical for crop growth – are intensifying. The Heinrich Böll Foundation’s recent Soil Atlas highlights the many ways we are losing the ground beneath our feet. The current industrial agriculture system has been a major driver of soil degradation, accelerating biodiversity loss and depleting vital carbon reserves. Yet despite its impact, the agriculture sector has made little progress in advancing climate goals. Its global greenhouse-gas emissions have remained largely unchanged over the past decade. As countries worldwide set new emissions-reduction targets under the 2015 Paris climate agreement, it is clear that achieving real emissions cuts will require developing strategies to reduce the agriculture sector’s carbon footprint. One approach touted as a potential solution is “carbon farming,” which uses market incentives to reward farmers for storing carbon in their soil. By adopting practices like planting cover crops, farmers can earn certificates for increasing carbon storage. These certificates can then be sold as carbon credits in voluntary or government-mandated markets, providing farmers with an additional income stream. This concept has gained traction in both public-policy circles and the private sector. Fertiliser and pesticide companies like Yara and Bayer have already rolled out their own certification programmes, while major agriculture producers such as Canada and Australia have integrated these credits into their markets. The European Union is also developing a certification program for carbon farming, and global carbon markets are expected to follow suit. Unfortunately, the newfound popularity of carbon farming risks perpetuating the false notion that emissions reductions and soil carbon storage are interchangeable. Even if we accept this premise, developing a system to offset emissions through carbon storage is extremely difficult. For such a system to be effective, storage must originate from a change in farm practices and be measurable and secure for at least a century. But given that carbon stored in soils is inherently unstable and can easily be re-released into the atmosphere by droughts, floods, or shifts in farming practices, long-term storage remains highly unreliable. Previous attempts to address this instability in other natural reserves have been unsuccessful. For example, reserve credits set aside to offset unintended carbon releases from forests in California are being depleted faster than anticipated after the intense wildfires there. And there has been little interest in credits with expiration dates, which would require buyers to renew them periodically. While it is possible to measure the carbon stored in soil, doing so is neither simple nor cheap. The accuracy of these measurements depends on several factors, including sampling depth, location, and timeframe. Alternative methods, based on limited sampling or mathematical models, have failed to overcome measurement challenges. Since prices for soil-carbon credits have been too low to cover the costs of changing agricultural practices, farmers are unlikely to embrace them. In response, European regulators have opted to make credit generation easier, rather than adjusting price incentives, thus compromising the system’s integrity. Beyond methodological challenges, carbon farming can serve as a smokescreen for the livestock industry. Industry groups claim that carbon storage in grasslands can offset methane and nitrous-oxide emissions. But this scenario is unrealistic, given that it would require vast amounts of grassland. It is well established that the most effective way to reduce livestock emissions is to cut livestock numbers and consumption of meat and dairy. The carbon-market approach views maintaining soil health and reducing emissions as an either/or choice. In reality, both are necessary, as healthy soil is essential for food production. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has found that sequestering carbon in soils – or anywhere else – cannot replace emissions reductions. Targeting emissions reductions, rather than relying solely on soil credits, could have the additional benefit of weakening the appeal of controversial technologies that aim to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Simply put, a market-based approach to carbon storage cannot deliver the transformative change we need. We cannot offset our way out of the climate crisis. Instead, we should redirect public funds currently spent on agricultural subsidies to investments that improve soil health and support farmers as they undertake the transition to a climate-resilient food system. – Project Syndicate Sophie Scherger is Policy Officer for Climate and Agriculture at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy’s European office.Offering prize money at the Olympic Games was unfair and was shown at the Paris Games to favour a small number of elite athletes to the detriment of others, the International Olympic Committee said today. In a taboo-busting move that sparked hugely mixed reactions, World Athletics president Sebastian Coe announced prize money of US$50,000 ($85,000) for every track and field winner at the Paris Olympics. Kiwi Hamish Kerr was among the athletes to earn the prize money with his gold medal effort in the men’s high jump . No other sports federation pays prize money at the Olympics. IOC spokesman Mark Adams said that the IOC’s executive board had discussed the topic of prize money distribution, raised by International Federations and athletes' representatives, on the first day of a meeting in Lausanne.Dreama Centre and MoSDF celebrate World Children’s Day with innovative artwork at HIA
