Three long days of counting in the General Election finished late on Monday night when the final two seats were declared in the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan. Fianna Fail was the clear winner of the election, securing 48 of the Dail parliament’s 174 seats. Sinn Fein took 39 and Fine Gael 38. Labour and the Social Democrats both won 11 seats; People Before Profit-Solidarity took three; Aontu secured two; and the Green Party retained only one of its 12 seats. Independents and others accounted for 21 seats. The return of a Fianna Fail/Fine Gael-led coalition is now highly likely. However, their combined seat total of 86 leaves them just short of the 88 needed for a majority in the Dail. While the two centrist parties that have dominated Irish politics for a century could look to strike a deal with one of the Dail’s smaller centre-left parties, such as the Social Democrats or Labour, a more straightforward route to a majority could be achieved by securing the support of several independent TDs. For Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and current taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris, wooing like-minded independents would be likely to involve fewer policy concessions, and financial commitments, than would be required to convince another party to join the government benches. Longford-Westmeath independent TD Kevin “Boxer” Moran, who served in a Fine Gael-led minority government between 2017 and 2020, expressed his willingness to listen to offers to join the new coalition in Dublin. “Look, my door’s open,” he told RTE. “Someone knocks, I’m always there to open it.” Marian Harkin, an independent TD for Sligo-Leitrim, expressed her desire to participate in government as she noted that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael were within “shouting distance” of an overall majority. “That means they will be looking for support, and I certainly will be one of those people who will be speaking to them and talking to them and negotiating with them, and I’m looking forward to doing that, because that was the reason that I ran in the first place,” she said. Meanwhile, the Social Democrats and Irish Labour Party both appear cautious about the prospect of an alliance with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. They will no doubt be mindful of the experience of the Green Party, the junior partner in the last mandate. The Greens experienced near wipeout in the election, retaining only one of their 12 seats. Sinn Fein appears to currently have no realistic route to government, given Fianna Fail and Fine Gael’s ongoing refusal to share power with the party. Despite the odds being stacked against her party, Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald contacted the leaders of the Social Democrats and Labour on Monday to discuss options. Earlier, Fianna Fail deputy leader and outgoing Finance Minister Jack Chambers predicted that a new coalition government would not be in place before Christmas. Mr Chambers said planned talks about forming an administration required “time and space” to ensure that any new government will be “coherent and stable”. After an inconclusive outcome to the 2020 election, it took five months for Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Greens to strike the last coalition deal. Mr Chambers said he did not believe it would take that long this time, as he noted the Covid-19 pandemic was a factor in 2020, but he also made clear it would not be a swift process. He said he agreed with analysis that there was no prospect of a deal before Christmas. “I don’t expect a government to be formed in mid-December, when the Dail is due to meet on December 18, probably a Ceann Comhairle (speaker) can be elected, and there’ll have to be time and space taken to make sure we can form a coherent, stable government,” he told RTE. “I don’t think it should take five months like it did the last time – Covid obviously complicated that. But I think all political parties need to take the time to see what’s possible and try and form a stable government for the Irish people.” Fine Gael minister of state Peter Burke said members of his parliamentary party would have to meet to consider their options before giving Mr Harris a mandate to negotiate a new programme for government with Fianna Fail. “It’s important that we have a strong, stable, viable government, whatever form that may be, to ensure that we can meet the challenges of our society, meet the challenges in terms of the economic changes that are potentially going to happen,” he told RTE. Despite being set to emerge with the most seats, it has not been all good news for Fianna Fail. The party’s outgoing Health Minister Stephen Donnelly became one of the biggest casualties of the election when he lost his seat in Wicklow in the early hours of Monday morning. Mr Donnelly was always predicted to face a fight in the constituency after boundary changes saw it reduced from five to four seats. If it is to be a reprise of the Fianna Fail/Fine Gael governing partnership of the last mandate, one of the major questions is around the position of taoiseach and whether the parties will once again take turns to hold the Irish premiership during the lifetime of the new government. The outcome in 2020 saw the parties enter a coalition on the basis that the holder of the premier position would be exchanged midway through the term. Fianna Fail leader Mr Martin took the role for the first half of the mandate, with Leo Varadkar taking over in December 2022. Current Fine Gael leader Mr Harris succeeded Mr Varadkar as taoiseach when he resigned from the role earlier this year. However, this time Fianna Fail has significantly increased its seat lead over Fine Gael, compared with the last election when there were only three seats between the parties. The size of the disparity in party numbers is likely to draw focus on the rotating taoiseach arrangement, raising questions as to whether it will be re-run in the next coalition and, if it is, on what terms. On Sunday, Simon Coveney, a former deputy leader of Fine Gael, said a coalition that did not repeat the rotating taoiseach arrangement in some fashion would be a “difficult proposition” for his party. Meanwhile, Fine Gael minister Paschal Donohoe said he would be making the case for Mr Harris to have another opportunity to serve as taoiseach. On Monday, Mr Chambers said while his party would expect to lead the government it would approach the issue of rotating the taoiseach’s role on the basis of “mutual respect” with Fine Gael. “I think the context of discussions and negotiations will be driven by mutual respect, and that’s the glue that will drive a programme for government and that’s the context in which we’ll engage,” he said. On Monday, Labour leader Ivana Bacik reiterated her party’s determination to forge an alliance with fellow centre-left parties with the intention of having a unified approach to the prospect of entering government. Asked if Labour was prepared to go into government with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael on its own, she told RTE: “No, not at this stage. We are absolutely not willing to do that. “We want to ensure there’s the largest number of TDs who share our vision and our values who want to deliver change on the same basis that we do.” The Social Democrats have been non-committal about any potential arrangement with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, and have restated a series of red lines they would need to achieve before considering taking a place in government. Leader Holly Cairns, who gave birth to a daughter on polling day on Friday, said in a statement: “The party is in a very strong position to play an important role in the next Dail. In what position, government or opposition, remains to be seen.” Fianna Fail secured the most first preference votes in Friday’s proportional representation election, taking 21.9% to Fine Gael’s 20.8%. Sinn Fein came in third on 19%. While Sinn Fein’s vote share represented a marked improvement on its disappointing showing in June’s local elections in Ireland, it is still significantly down on the 24.5% poll-topping share it secured in the 2020 general election. The final breakdown of first preferences also flipped the result of Friday night’s exit poll, which suggested Sinn Fein was in front on 21.1%, with Fine Gael on 21% and Fianna Fail on 19.5%.

Iowa followed its lowest-scoring game of the season with a 110-point eruption the next time out. The Hawkeyes will be one week removed from that scorching effort when they host Northwestern in Tuesday's Big Ten opener in Iowa City, but rust won't be the only roadblock for a potential repeat showing. Iowa (6-1) also is bracing for stiffer competition in conference play while navigating an injury to Seydou Traore. The reserve forward suffered a sprained ankle midway through the first half of a 110-77 home rout of South Carolina Upstate on Nov. 26. Also missing frontcourt contributors Even Brauns and Cooper Koch, the Hawkeyes still flexed their resilience and depth. Brock Harding notched a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds and Owen Freeman netted 17 points as five Iowa players scored in double figures. "Coming off a loss, going into Thanksgiving break here, we've got a couple days off coming, it'd be easy to kinda (think), ‘All right, let's relax for this one, guys sit out,'" Harding said. "But I think we really locked in." Northwestern (6-2) overcame 40.8 percent shooting to defeat UNLV 66-61 in the third-place game of the Arizona Tip-Off on Friday in Tempe, Ariz. Brooks Barnhizer, a preseason All-Big Ten pick who was sidelined by a foot injury during the Wildcats' first four games, had team highs of 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists. He has scored at least 20 points in three of four games. Northwestern limited UNLV to a 42.1 percent effort from the floor. Matthew Nicholson propelled the defense with two of the Wildcats' seven steals to go with two blocks. "We're a defensive-minded team and, you know, our identity is just getting stops," Barnhizer said. "Everything else will take care of itself. So, the older guys were trying to come out here and do that tonight and I think we did a pretty good job of it." Strong ‘D' helped Northwestern's ball movement, too, as the Wildcats assisted on 15 of 20 made field goals. Northwestern went 8-for-18 (44.4 percent) from long range to improve to 3-0 this season when connecting on 40 percent of its 3-point shots or better. --Field Level Media
San Francisco leaders have struck a deal that should keep Urban Alchemy’s ambassadors on The City’s streets, but the future of the organization’s presence there remains unclear. What officials expected to be a noncontroversial expansion of a popular community-ambassador program quickly reopened a long-simmering debate in City Hall in recent weeks. At stake is the livelihoods of hundreds of workers, according to Urban Alchemy, the nonprofit deploying community ambassadors who keep a watchful eye over some of The City’s most challenging streets. But Supervisor Connie Chan , chair of the Board of Supervisors Budget Committee, reignited a discussion about whether Urban Alchemy has proven its efficacy after several years on the job, and whether continuing to pour millions into the nonprofit is warranted as The City faces a looming budget crisis. Urban Alchemy remains nascent compared to other major San Francisco nonprofits. Still, neither The City or Urban Alchemy is able to answer what San Francisco might look like without it. The Board of Supervisors’ budget committee on Wednesday will consider a proposed $7.8 million addition to the $16 million annual Urban Alchemy contract. That figure is expected to be negotiated down to $3.4 million, which should avert layoffs and last the organization through April, according to Chan. Urban Alchemy has warned that it could lay off more than 300 employees if the Board of Supervisors holds up the funding. Chan counters The City is draining its budget as it faces a deficit that approaches $1 billion in the coming years. She questions why San Francisco and Urban Alchemy was overspending its budget. “How do we have a balanced approach to our [city] budget, knowing our budget deficit is coming, and not end in a space where we’re going to regret spending this money and to be forced to cut critical and essential services, including for our law enforcement agencies?” Chan asked. She views the November election, in which voters chose Daniel Lurie as their next mayor , as a rebuke of Breed’s leadership and, by association, her response to The City’s social ailments. “What San Francisco voters have demanded is effective city government, and clearly they have said that the outgoing administration is not one, and at this moment I agree,” Chan said. The Mid-Market Foundation, the business organization that administers the contract to Urban Alchemy, explained that the additional spending will help expand the ambassadors’ coverage to Willow Alley, Ellis Street and keep them on the streets later into the evening. No matter what the Board of Supervisors agrees to do on the proposed contract amendment, it’s still slated to expire at the end of June 2025. By that time, the board will have several new members, Chan will likely no longer be the budget-committee chair, and The City will be led by a new mayor — and it’s unclear whether they’ll take the same approach. Initially conceived as a temporary and urgently necessary remedy to pandemic-induced street conditions, The City’s plan for its future with Urban Alchemy remains murky. It’s obvious that the Tenderloin and Mid-Market neighborhoods are not pristine, but it’s also true that workers have slowly trickled back to offices, COVID-era restrictions have lifted, crime is on the decline and overdose deaths are quickly dropping. Lurie, in a statement, told The Examiner, that he’s focused “accountability, service and change.” “I’ll make these difficult decisions next year when I assume office, but I’m committed to maintaining critical services in spite of this difficult budget climate,” Lurie said. “I plan to do that by demanding accountability and measurable results whenever we spend public money.” If The City does want to reup its community ambassador contract, it will require competitive bidding for the first time in nearly four years, according to the Office of Economic and Workforce Development. Urban Alchemy’s rapid growth coincided with San Francisco’s stalling out, and the organization capitalized on The City’s need to bring order and cleanliness to streets hollowed out by the pandemic. The City’s homeless services changed dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, as shelters implemented social distancing and a flood of federal money helped fund San Francisco shelter options, including hotels. Urban Alchemy became a go-to for support — it inked contracts to staff a safe-sleeping site outside City Hall, tiny cabins and hotels to house the homeless. In 2021, Urban Alchemy and The City agreed to a contract that would see the nonprofit’s “practitioners” spread throughout the Mid-Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods. Long a source of concern from city leaders, these blocks came under renewed focus as office workers stayed home throughout the pandemic and open-air drug markets became routine. Urban Alchemy’s pitch from the jump was that ambassadors would cover street corners and supplement police officers and security guards, using a workforce that is largely made up of people with experience in the criminal-justice system themselves. Its approach is one rooted in empathy and,the organization contends, has proven effective at lowering crime without resorting to handcuffs and harsh words. Joined by Mayor London Breed, it announced a new study by Stanford University researchers at a Tenderloin press conference in January that found areas covered by Urban Alchemy’s practitioners saw significantly lower crime rates. At that time, the research had yet to be published and peer-reviewed. The Examiner contacted the lead researcher for an update on the paper’s status and, as of press time, had not heard back. Urban Alchemy’s critics argue The City has functionally written the nonprofit — which, though still rooted in San Francisco, has grown to cover seven cities across four states — a blank check. The proposal now in front of the Board of Supervisors would be the fifth time the contract has been amended. It has not been competitively bid since 2021. Urban Alchemy’s contract has earned the ire of labor unions like IFPTE Local 21, which cited Urban Alchemy last year in a treatise on The City’s growing use of contractors to provide services that could be provided by The City — and by unionized workers. The San Francisco Deputy Sheriff’s Association has publicly offered to step in, claiming the Sheriff’s Department has been underfunded while funding for ambassador programs like Urban Alchemy’s has stepped up. “Urban Alchemy, while well-intentioned, has demonstrated that it cannot deliver the results San Francisco needs,” Ken Lomba, the union’s president, wrote in a letter. “By reallocating funds to the Sheriff’s Office, the city can ensure public safety is managed by trained professionals who have the authority, expertise, and oversight to make a real impact.” Chan, who was heavily backed by unions in her recent reelection victory, makes no secret of her preference for union labor. “Unions provide a safe working environment and a pathway to sustainable employment for workers, absolutely — I think the challenge here is that it seems like the workers are stuck in this short-term contract employment instead of truly [advancing],” Chan said. Despite its detractors, Urban Alchemy has continued to grow. It has a presence in Portland Oregon, Austin, Texas, and now reaches as fast east as Birmingham, Alabama. The organization’s fans have come out in support of it. “Our community has seen great improvement, recognized by residents and our team alike over the past year, we would be devastated to see this improvement regress,” Brooke Engelhardt, general manager of a Market Street apartment building, wrote in a letter to supervisors. “Seeing the kind faces of the Urban Alchemy team outside of our community and in the neighborhood creates a sense of community and safety that are invaluable.” Its presence in San Francisco has become so ubiquitous that it’s difficult to imagine The City without its streets full of Urban Alchemy workers in their trademark all-black outfits. In a show of force, dozens of Urban Alchemy workers filed into the final Board of Supervisors meeting before Thanksgiving, offering tangible evidence of the organization’s scale. But it remains to be seen what The City will do after the contract expires at the end of June. The City and Mid-Market Foundation have contemplated the “ramp-down” plans required under the original contract with Urban Alchemy, but shied away from ever implementing one. Last year, city officials balked at implementing a “ramp-down” plan. During budget hearings, “given the progress on the street conditions and the ongoing need to continue interventions that mitigate further decline and promote pro-social behavior, an immediate ramp-down plan was not in the best interest of the community and could potentially lead to a reversal of progress,” Kate Patterson, an OEWD spokesperson, told The Examiner in an email. But Chan has been able to imagine a future sans Urban Alchemy. She noted that The City employs several ambassador teams, including teams consisting of retired sheriff’s deputies and police officers. Chan — often criticized for being soft on crime — even openly mulls whether the funding for Urban Alchemy could be better spent on additional overtime shifts for police officers to patrol the area.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma appears to have borrowed from the past to cure its recent offensive ills. The Sooners , best known this century for a passing prowess that has produced four Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks, took it back to the 20th century against then-No. 7 Alabama. Oklahoma ran 50 times for 257 yards while only throwing 12 times in a 24-3 win over the Crimson Tide that took coach Brent Venables off the hot seat. The Sooners more resembled Barry Switzer’s squads that dominated the old Big 8 with the wishbone offense in the 1970s and ’80s than the more recent Air Raid teams. Venables said the change was a matter of necessity for a unit that has been besieged by injuries at receiver and offensive line. “I think this staff has done a really good job with trying to figure that out, get better every week, put together a great gameplan but also figure out, ‘OK, what does this group of guys, what does this team — what do we need to do?'” Venables said. To make it work, Oklahoma needed to trust that such a change would work in the modern Southeastern Conference. They had to implement it with an interim play-caller in Joe Jon Finley, who stepped in after the Sooners fired Seth Littrell last month. Oklahoma (6-5, 2-5 SEC) pulled it off, and LSU coach Brian Kelly has taken notice ahead of their game on Saturday. “This is now much more about controlling the football, running the football, playing with physicality," Kelly said. "They've got perimeter skill, but I think it's centered around much more of a run-centric, quarterback run and take care of the football." The Sooners started to see success on the ground against Maine. They ran 52 times for 381 yards in a 59-14 win that got the wheels turning. Jovantae Barnes ran for career highs of 203 yards and three touchdowns that day. Venables said the timing of the opportunity to play that non-conference game against Maine in early November and figure some things out was perfect. “Everybody has some degree of vulnerability and maybe some self-doubt,” he said. “And just developing some confidence and putting something on tape other than practice, like, ‘Man, look, see what you’re capable of?’ And executing against, again, a well-coached team — certainly, we played off of that in all the right ways like you would expect us to. And so there’s a real place for that.” Story continues below video After a bye week, the Sooners tried the same approach against Missouri. It wasn't as successful — they ran 36 times for 122 yards — but they hung tough before losing 30-23 . The Sooners went all in against Alabama. Jackson Arnold — the same guy who threw 45 times in the Alamo Bowl last year, ran 25 times for 131 yards and threw just 11 passes. The Sooners found something in running back Xavier Robinson. With Barnes out with an injury, Robinson carried 18 times for career highs of 107 yards and two touchdowns. Suddenly, a team that had been forcing the pass and getting sacked at an alarming rate was moving the line of scrimmage and controlling the tempo. Oklahoma had the ball for more than 34 minutes against the Crimson Tide, lending support to a talented defense that had been spending way too much time on the field. The new approach could be helpful on Saturday — LSU (7-4, 4-3) ranks 14th out of 16 conference teams against the run. Venables said the Sooners still need to throw the ball well to win, but he's glad to know his squad can run with force when necessary. “I think that’s the art of having a system that’s adjustable, flexible, adaptable, week in and week out, but also has an identity — toughness, physicality," he said. "You’ve got to be able to run the ball at every level of football, but you do have to throw it. You can’t just do one thing. But we need to be efficient.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
