Pretty much everything that could go wrong for the Ohio State Buckeyes in Week 14 went wrong. Not only did they lose "The Game" to the Michigan Wolverines by a final score of 13-10, but they also got into a massive brawl with Michigan immediately afterwards that could result in several players on both getting suspended. With the Wolverines winning this one late, their players rushed the field when the clock struck zero and planted their flag in the middle of the field. The Buckeyes took exception to this, and ended up starting a full-scale brawl with the Wolverines that quickly caught fans' attention. The aftermath of the fight was pretty messy, and there's a lot that both teams and the NCAA will have to work through as a result. With things still fresh, Ohio State's athletic director Ross Bjork refused to comment on the situation, saying he needed to gather more details on what actually happened. Per Brandon Marcello of CBS Sports, "Ohio State athletics director Ross Bjork declined to comment to CBS Sports when asked about the postgame skirmish. He needs to gather more details on what happened, he said." Ohio State athletics director Ross Bjork declined to comment to CBS Sports when asked about the postgame skirmish. He needs to gather more details on what happened, he said. Considering the scale of the fight, it's not a surprise to see Bjork is waiting for things to clear up before he fully addresses what happened. And beyond the fight, the team also lost a game they desperately needed to win, so it's safe to say there's going to be some soul-searching within Ohio State over the next few days. © Barbara J. Perenic/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Not only did the Buckeyes likely lose their spot in the Big Ten Championship Game to the Penn State Nittany Lions, but their standing in the College Football Playoff rankings is set to tumble as well. There's a chance that this defeat could destroy Ohio State's 2024 campaign. For now, the Buckeyes are reeling in the wake of their defeat and this massive fight, but they still have a chance to salvage their campaign. It will require quite a turnaround, but you can't count Ohio State out just yet, even though things look quite dire in the wake of this crushing defeat.

Soda taxes don't just affect sales: They help change people's minds December 10, 2024 University of California - Berkeley The city of Berkeley's first-in-the-nation soda tax a decade ago, along with more recent Bay Area tax increases on sugar-sweetened drinks, have not only led to reduced sales. They are also associated with significant changes in social norms and attitudes about the healthfulness of sweet drinks. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email It wasn't that long ago when cigarettes and soda were go-to convenience store vices, glamorized in movies and marketed toward, well, everyone. Then, lawmakers and voters raised taxes on cigarettes, and millions of dollars went into public education campaigns about smoking's harms. Decades of news coverage chronicled how addictive and dangerous cigarettes were and the enormous steps companies took to hide the risks and hook more users. The result: a radical shift in social norms that made it less acceptable to smoke and pushed cigarette use to historic lows, especially among minors. New UC Berkeley research suggests sugar-sweetened beverages may be on a similar path. The city of Berkeley's first-in-the-nation soda tax a decade ago, along with more recent Bay Area tax increases on sugar-sweetened drinks, have not only led to reduced sales. They are also associated with significant changes in social norms and attitudes about the healthfulness of sweet drinks, said Kristine A. Madsen, a professor at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health and senior author of a paper published Nov. 25 in the journal BMC Public Health. Over the span of just a few years, taxes coupled with significant media attention significantly affected the public's overall perceptions of sugar-sweetened beverages, which include sodas, some juices and sports drinks. Such a shift in the informal rules surrounding how people think and act could have major implications for public health efforts more broadly, Madsen said. "Social norms are really powerful. The significant shift we saw in how people are thinking about sugary drinks demonstrates what else we could do," Madsen said. "We could reimagine a healthier food system. It starts with people thinking, 'Why drink so much soda?' But what if we also said, 'Why isn't most of the food in our grocery stores food that makes us healthy?'" Madsen and colleagues from UC San Francisco and UC Davis analyzed surveys from 9,128 people living in lower-income neighborhoods in Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco and Richmond. Using data from 2016 to 2019 and 2021, they studied year-to-year trends in people's perception of sugar-sweetened beverages. They wanted to understand how the four taxes in the Bay Area might have affected social norms surrounding sugary beverages -- the unwritten and often unspoken rules that influence the food and drinks we buy, the clothes we wear and our habits at the dinner table. Although social norms aren't visible, they are incredibly powerful forces on our actions and behaviors; just ask anyone who has bought something after an influencer promoted it on TikTok or Instagram. Researchers asked questions about how often people thought their neighbors drank sodas, sports drinks and fruity beverages. Participants also rated how healthy several drinks were, which conveyed their own attitudes about the beverages. The researchers found a 28% decline in the social acceptability of drinking sugar-sweetened beverages. In Oakland, positive perceptions of peers' consumption of sports drinks declined after the tax increase, relative to other cities. Similarly, in San Francisco, attitudes about the healthfulness of sugar-sweetened fruit drinks also declined. In other words, people believed their neighbors weren't drinking as many sugar-sweetened beverages, which affected their own interest in consuming soda, juices and sports drinks. "What it means when social norms change is that people say, 'Gosh, I guess we don't drink soda. That's just not what we do. Not as much. Not all the time,'" Madsen said. "And that's an amazing shift in mindsets." The research is the latest from UC Berkeley that examines how consumption patterns have changed in the decade since Berkeley implemented the nation's first soda tax. A 2016 study found a decrease in soda consumption and an increase in people turning to water. Research in 2019 documented a sharp decline in people turning to sugar-sweetened drinks. And earlier this year, Berkeley researchers documented that sugar-sweetened beverage purchases declined dramatically and steadily across five major American cities after taxes were put in place. The penny-per-ounce tax on beverages, which is levied on distributors of sugary drinks -- who ultimately pass that cost of doing business on to consumers -- is an important means of communicating about health with the public, Madsen said. Researchers tallied more than 700 media stories about the taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages during the study period. That level of messaging was likely a major force in driving public awareness and norms. It's also something Madsen said future public health interventions must consider. It was part of the progress made in cutting cigarette smoking and seems to be working with sugary drinks. And it's those interventions that can lead to individual action. "If we change our behaviors, the environment follows," Madsen said. "While policy really matters and is incredibly important, we as individuals have to advocate for a healthier food system."

The proponent of the proposed national commission for the co-ordination and control of the proliferation against small arms, ammunitions and light weapons in Nigeria, NATCOM, Dr. Baba Mohammed, has congratulated Christian faithful and Nigerians on the celebration of this year’s Christmas. Dr. Mohammed in a press statement issued in Abuja said, “it is a celebration of God’s love and mercy to mankind.” The NATCOM bill proponent Dr. Mohammed who is also the Madaki of Ankpa, noted that the celebration of Christmas, is not merely a fanfare but an admonition to the people to have forbearance and show compassion in every situation. The Madakin Ankpa in the spirit of the Christmas celebration called on governments at all levels to be deliberate in initiating measures that will ease the economic hardship, insecurity and other social vices that confront Nigerians. He however, sued for calm, patience and tolerance on the part of citizens especially in the face of the Tinubu led government to put Nigeria in its pride of place. The NATCOM bill proponent specially felicitated with president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his Vice, Kashim Shettima, the leadership of the national assembly and the secretary to the government of the federation Senator George Akume on the occasion of Christmas. The rest are the chief of staff to the president RT. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the national security adviser Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and the chief of defence staff, General Christopher Musa and other service chiefs, expressing confidence that Nigeria shall be great again under president Tinubu. It will be recalled that the NATCOM bill proposed by Dr. Baba Mohammed is in line with ECOWAS convention 2006 and to which Nigeria is a signatory. He therefore wishes Christians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.Gloversville seeks new public works directorUS President JoeBiden was informed about the crash of the Azerbaijan Airlines planein Kazakhstan, coordinator for strategic communications at theWhite House National Security Council John Kirby said, reports.

WASHINGTON — LeBron James made his Christmas debut in 2003. Victor Wembanyama was born 10 days later. That's right: James has been featured on the NBA's big day for longer than Wembanyama has been alive. And on Wednesday — when the league celebrates Christmas with games for the 77th time — the league's oldest player and brightest young star will be big parts of the holiday showcase. It's another Christmas quintupleheader, with Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs visiting the New York Knicks, Minnesota going to Dallas for a Western Conference finals rematch, Philadelphia heading to Boston to renew a storied rivalry, James and the Los Angeles Lakers taking on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and Denver playing at Phoenix in the nightcap. “Very excited, of course,” Wembanyama said, the French star previewing his first Christmas game opportunity. “First of all, spending Christmas in New York, it’s going to be like the movies, I hope. Get a little snow.” His first Christmas wish came true: Light snow fell in Manhattan on Tuesday morning. James said he's relishing another chance to share the holiday spotlight with Curry — someone he's played against on Christmas three previous times. “Any time you get an opportunity to be on the court and compete against one of the greatest to ever play this game, you don’t take it for granted," James — who turns 40 next week — said of facing his U.S. Olympic teammate. “I don't know how many more opportunities we'll get to go against each other.” The Christmas games have been looked at for decades as the time when more fans tend to start watching basketball. The NFL — which is going head-to-head against the NBA on Wednesday — is seeing its regular season winding down, and the five NBA games will all be shown nationally either on ABC or ESPN. The Spurs-Knicks game will also have a special alt-cast starring Mickey Mouse and some of his friends, the first animated presentation of an NBA game. It'll be shown on ESPN2 and stream on Disney+ and ESPN+. “I wish there were more of our great players who had a chance to play on that stage on Christmas Day," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “It's been an interesting turnaround from certainly my earlier days in the league when we got a lot of complaints about playing on Christmas — and now it comes the other way, which is, ‘Why aren’t we playing on Christmas?’ I wish we could accommodate even more teams." Wemby's debut: Spurs at Knicks, Noon ET Knicks forward Josh Hart, like just about everyone in the basketball world, raves about Wembanyama. The Spurs star is averaging 24.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.0 blocks, 3.9 assists and 3.3 3-pointers per game. “He's an amazing player, man," Hart said. “He does things offensively, defensively that no one that's 7-whatever-the-heck-he-is should be doing. He's the future of the league.” For the record, Wembanyama is officially just under 7-foot-4. The Knicks are playing their 57th Christmas game, extending their NBA record. The first Christmas game in league history was at Madison Square Garden in 1947. “Been fortunate to play on Christmas a lot of days," Spurs guard Chris Paul said. "I’m excited.” West rematch: Timberwolves at Mavericks, 2:30 p.m. ET Game time is 1:30 p.m. in Dallas, and that means it'll be 8:30 p.m. in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Prime time, Christmas night in Luka Doncic's homeland. The Mavericks star couldn't be happier how that worked out. “It’s special,” said Doncic, who had a 50-point game on Christmas last year. “You have a lot of people from Europe want to watch the NBA. ... It’s a big thing. It’s going to be a special game.” Dallas beat Minnesota 4-1 in last year's West finals. For Timberwolves guard Mike Conley, this is season No. 18 — and his second Christmas game. “It was 14 years before I got to play on it in Utah,” Conley said. “I looked forward to the opportunity. Not many people get the opportunity to play. When people are celebrating the holidays, they turn on the TV and are watching the NBA." The rivalry renewed: 76ers at Celtics, 5 p.m. ET No teams have faced off against one another more in NBA history than defending champion Boston and Philadelphia. Same goes for Christmas rivalries: It'll be Celtics-76ers for the 14th time on Dec. 25, by far the most in the league. Celtics guard Jrue Holiday says it’s tough to interrupt family time on Christmas — but also said it’s fun that his children can watch their father play that day. “It's an honor to be able to play on Christmas Day,” Holiday said. “I know I was one of the kids that couldn’t wait for Christmas games to come on. So, it’s always an honor.” LeBron vs. Steph: Lakers at Warriors, 8 p.m. ET Curry and James have met on Christmas in 2015, 2016 and 2018, all immediately following seasons that ended with Cleveland vs. Golden State matchups in the NBA Finals. Lakers coach JJ Redick played on Christmas 11 times in his career. The significance of seeing another Steph vs. LeBron matchup on the holiday isn't lost on him. “I think it was great to have two of the icons of this generation go head-to-head and have one, for sure, classic series and then just also some classic games and classic moments," Redick said. “For those guys also being teammates on the Olympic stage, they just have the ultimate respect for each other." James gets another chance to become the NBA's all-time Christmas win leader: He's played in 10 wins on Dec. 25, tying former teammate Dwyane Wade's holiday record. This is James' 19th Christmas game; Wade played in 13. Curry, if he starts, will be the seventh person in NBA history with at least 11 starts on Dec. 25, joining James, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Wade, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. “Christmas spirit hopefully can bring some gifts our way with a win,” Curry said. The finale: Nuggets at Suns, 10:30 p.m. ET Durant will play on Christmas for the 12th time, and only James, Bryant and Oscar Robertson have more points on Dec. 25 than he does. It's a rematch of a 117-90 win by Denver on Monday night. “Looking forward to this next game,” Durant said. The Nuggets know the Suns will want to avenge losing by 27, plus that the holiday brings out the best in players. “Hopefully we can go into their spot on Christmas and get another win,” Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. said. “But I’m sure it’ll be a tougher game.”

Finance adviser charts growth path for PSXMarjorie Taylor Greene to chair new subcommittee that will work with Department of Government Efficiency | What we knowReal Madrid’s big stars turned on the style to revive the Spanish giant’s faltering Champions League title defense on Tuesday. Galacticos Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham all scored in a thrilling 3-2 win at Italian league leader Atalanta. But Madrid still had to ride its luck as Mateo Retegui fired over from in front of goal in stoppage time when handed a golden chance to level the game. It was only Madrid’s third win in the competition’s revamped league phase and leaves the 15-time champion in the unseeded playoff positions in 18th place. “It’s a very important win. Not everyone wins here. We suffered and competed. In the Champions League, you have to suffer,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. “It’s still difficult to finish in the top eight, but we have two games left to earn points.” Six-time champion Liverpool leads the way after maintaining its perfect record in Europe this season with a 1-0 win against Girona. Like Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain also picked up a much-needed win, beating Salzburg 3-0 to sit in the last playoff spot in 24th place. Bayer Leverkusen is second after a 1-0 win over Inter Milan, while Aston Villa beat Leipzig 3-2 and is third. The top eight teams advance directly to the round of 16. Positions nine to 24 face a playoff to reach the next phase. Real response After three losses in its opening five games of the league phase, the pressure was mounting on Madrid. Questions were also being asked of Mbappe after his uncertain start since his offseason move from PSG. But he produced a moment of class to fire Madrid 1-0 up after 10 minutes at Gewiss Stadium — controlling the ball with his left foot and then finishing low with his right. It was the 25-year-old Mbappe's 50th Champions League goal . Lionel Messi is the only player to have reached that number at a younger age. Mbappe was substituted off before halftime with an apparent physical issue and Charles De Ketelaere leveled the game before the break from the penalty spot. But two goals inside three second-half minutes from Vinicius Junior and Bellingham put Madrid in control. Ademola Lookman's goal made it 3-2, but Madrid survived Retegui's late effort and held on. Salah’s landmark Mohamed Salah’s 50th Champions League goal maintained Liverpool’s perfect record in the competition this season. The Egypt forward struck a 63rd minute penalty to seal the win in Spain that kept Liverpool atop the 36-team league. But even after a sixth straight win for the Merseyside club, head coach Arne Slot was critical of his players in a game that saw goalkeeper Alisson pull off several saves to keep Girona out. “If you ask me about all the six games, I’m really pleased with all the results, I am really pleased with the five (other) games with the way we played. I’m far from pleased about the performance tonight,” he said. Salah’s goal was his 16th in 22 appearances overall this season. Girona was 30th with just one win from six games. “I almost feel sorry for them because they deserved so much more in this Champions League campaign than the three points they have until now. But we have an incredible goalkeeper,” said Slot, whose team also leads the Premier League. Liverpool’s two remaining games are against Lille at home and PSV Eindhoven away in January. U.S. international Christian Pulisic is the only player to have scored against Liverpool in this season’s Champions League in a 3-1 loss for Milan in September. Bayern rout Bayern Munich routed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 to move into the automatic qualifying positions for the round of 16. Michael Olise scored a wonderful solo goal by dribbling past a host of players for his first of two in the game. Bayern's win came after going 1-0 down inside five minutes to a goal from Brazilian winger Kevin. PSG fightback PSG is not done yet. A miserable start to the league phase saw the French giant pick up just four points from five games as it adjusted tp life without stars like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, who have all departed in the past two seasons. But victory at Salzburg moved PSG up into the playoff positions. Goncalo Ramos, Nuno Mendes and Desire Doue all scored. Leverkusen rising Leverkusen is back on a roll after struggling to repeat the success of last season's stunning German league and cup double. It's now six straight wins in all competitions, with Nordi Mukiele's 90th minute goal securing victory against Inter and moving Leverkusen into second on 13 points — five behind Liverpool. Villa, Inter and Brest are all on 13 points as well. Inter dropped to fourth after conceding for the first time in this season's competition. Villa is third after its own resurgence in form. Victory against Leipzig was its third in a row after an eight-game winless run. Brest is one of this season’s surprise packages on its Champions League debut and is fifth after beating PSV Eindhoven 1-0. Sporting Lisbon, in 12th, couldn’t build on taking a third-minute lead at Club Brugge — losing 2-1 in Belgium. Brugge is 14th. Dinamo Zagreb drew 0-0 with Celtic and both teams remain in the playoff positions. ___ James Robson is at https://twitter.com/jamesalanrobson ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer James Robson, The Associated PressCity Council bloviation won’t end subway surfing — and ignores real safety problem
