Unrivaled signs LSU star Flau'jae Johnson to NIL dealA melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media

In a key decision, the central board of trustees of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), in its 236th meeting chaired by labour minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Saturday, approved reinvesting 50% of its redemption proceeds from exchange traded funds (ETFs) back into equities. The board also recommended to the Union government a national EPFO amnesty scheme 2024 for all types of employers to voluntarily declare non-compliance and non-payment of provident fund dues with zero penalties and legal proceedings, a member said. The new investment pattern is expected to earn better returns for the state-backed retirement fund manager’s investments, which are used to decide the interest rate for retirement savings of nearly 70 million employees in the formal sector. The interest rate is a widely watched metric. This was the 42-member board’s first meeting in the current fiscal year. In the last meeting of the board, the top decision-making body of the EPFO, held in February, it approved an interest rate of 8.25% for FY24. According to official data, total investments by the retirement fund body into the ETFs crossed ₹ 2.3 lakh crore by March 2024, which is 9.49% of its total investible corpus. An exchange-traded fund is a pooled investment instrument that can be bought and sold like an individual stock. Provident funds provide retirement income for nearly all of salaried Indians in the formal sector. It often is the key corpus of lifetime savings for the working people. The Covid pandemic had pressured the EPFO’s earnings. Throughout 2022-23, an almost globally synchronised increase in lending rates by central banks, which has an inverse relationship with bond returns, tightened investment earnings for the EPFO. The EPFO is mandated to invest in stock markets, especially exchange-traded funds.

Ravens QB Jackson leads first NFL Pro Bowl fan voting resultsATI Inc executive chairman Robert S. Wetherbee sells $1.47 million in stockReal Madrid are considering a £50m move for Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot amid ongoing uncertainty over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s availability, the i paper reports. Real will look to see whether the right-back is part of Ruben Amorim’s plans. Dalot remains an important member of the squad, United sources insist, while the player is not looking for a transfer away. The i paper adds : “However, Madrid are willing to make a move for Dalot now, rather than wait for Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool when his contract expires next summer. “There is some urgency as their first choice full-back, Dani Carvajal, is out with a serious knee injury. The 32-year-old is expected to miss the majority of the season and Madrid have played several players out of position at right-back, with varying success. “Madrid are long-term admirers of Alexander-Arnold, 26, and have been biding their time as the England defender has failed to agree a contract extension at Liverpool.” Mohamed Salah is open to signing a one-year extension at Liverpool, The Athletic reports, but he is becoming frustrated with the club’s handling of negotiations. The Egyptian is yet to hear Liverpool’s offer in terms of length or salary, and he is now less than a month away from being allowed to discuss contracts with clubs outside England. Salah has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, as well as PSG, while the forward recently said he was “more out than in” regarding his future at Liverpool. The Athletic added : “Liverpool have consistently maintained that discussions with Salah, through his representative Ramy Abbas, have been positive and are still ongoing. But Salah is frustrated at the pace of talks and unconvinced the club will meet his expectations on terms. “The forward’s priority is to extend his stay at Anfield and he is not agitating to leave. Even in that interview after the Southampton match, he was at pains to stress his “love” for Liverpool. “Yet he also believes he is amongst the best players in the world and the terms of any new deal should reflect that status, and his performance levels this season. “Salah has scored 13 goals in Liverpool’s 20 games across all competitions this season, delivering 11 assists. His latest contribution was to set up Cody Gakpo for the opening goal against Manchester City on Sunday, and then score a second-half penalty that sealed a 2-0 win.” West Ham are considering their options after the 5-2 defeat to Arsenal and could look to bring in Sergio Conceicao to replace Julen Lopetegui, the Guardian reports. Lopetegui’s future at West Ham is hanging firmly in the balance, with the Hammers beating Newcastle last week to buy the Spaniard some time, only to lose heavily against the Gunners on Saturday. It means former Porto boss Conceicao is now a consideration. The Guardian adds : “There is serious interest in Conceição, who left Porto last summer. The 50-year-old Portuguese, who led Porto to three league titles and twice took them to the Champions League quarter-finals, is thought to be attracted to the job. West Ham are yet to establish contact with Conceição but there is support for him within the club. “Other contenders include the former Juventus manager Max Allegri, who has been pictured in London recently. There is a feeling that Graham Potter could come into contention. The former Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier, who is coaching Al-Duhail in Qatar, has been considered in the past.” Wayne Rooney is under serious pressure at Plymouth Argyle and could have just two home games left to save his job, the Telegraph reports. Plymouth face Oxford and Swansea soon, and that could prove pivotal after suffering two heavy defeats recently. The Championship club are just above the relegation zone, but having conceded 10 goals in two games, Rooney’s injury-stricken side are struggling. The Telegraph adds : “Although there are no immediate plans to make a change, the two matches in succession against Oxford on Saturday and Swansea the following Tuesday at Home Park appear crucial to Rooney’s future.”
How California retailers leverage technology to outsmart shoplifters
NoneLINCOLN — What was once a major event of the college football season has, in the first week of December, just become one of the subplots. Early signing day is here for Nebraska and every other program, many of which, including NU, have their attention split several ways. Conference title games haven’t even been played yet. The transfer portal — not officially open until Dec. 9 — has nevertheless been whirling with at least seven Husker departures since Monday. NU has lost one coordinator, locked another up for two years, and set its sights on Kentucky assistant Daikiel Shorts to coach receivers. Matt Rhule’s early afternoon press conference may focus just as much — perhaps more — on topics as the 2025 recruiting class, which stood Tuesday evening at 19 members. By the time Rhule talks about the class, it could grow by a few or in theory shrink, were commits inclined to balk at the departure of Nebraska defensive coordinator Tony White. That hasn’t been the case so far, as some of the highest-rated prospects in the class — four-star linebackers Dawson Merritt and Christian Jones — had reaffirmed their commitment to Nebraska through social media statements. Nebraska awaits final answers from at least three prospects, though Dalkiel’s imminent hiring could, in theory, bring more options into play. »San Antonio Alamo Heights High School five-star athlete Michael Terry, a prospect of few interviews who has narrowed his list to home-state Texas, Nebraska and Oregon, the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder’s top three schools for months. He’ll announce a choice at his 8:15 a.m. signing ceremony on Wednesday. At NU, Terry projects to wideout. »Homestead (Florida) High School four-star receiver Cortez Mills has long been committed to Oklahoma, but recruiting site reporters have him trending to flip to Nebraska. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Mills caught 79 passes for 1,640 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, breaking Miami-Dade County single-season marks. Mills’ signing ceremony takes place between 8:05-9:30 a.m. in the school’s auditorium. »Kahuka (Hawaii) High School three-star safety Aidan Manutai remains a Husker target, though he’s currently committed to California. The 6-foot, 170-pound Manutai would be part of a defensive backs group that could vie for early playing time. »Another potential prospect to watch is Kentucky receiver commit Dejerrian Miller, who verbally pledged to Shorts and the Wildcats last week and plays prep football at St. Louis Cardinal Ritter, the same school as Husker running back commit Jamarion Parker. Miller did not previously have Nebraska among his top group of suitors and may stick in the SEC. In total, NU plans to sign six in-state commitments — headlined by Jones, an Omaha Westside linebacker — to financial aid papers, as the NCAA in October eliminated the national letter of intent, which binds prospects to school. The group of six — Jones, Omaha North defensive tackle Tyson Terry, Millard North athletes Pierce Mooberry and Caden VerMaas, Wahoo Neumann running back Conor Booth and Lincoln Southwest receiver Jackson Carpenter — are part of one of the strongest corps of in-state recruits in years. Fifteen prospects are poised to sign with FBS programs, with 12 of those headed to power conferences. Unless Terry or Mills flips to NU, Merritt, out of Overland Park (Kansas) Blue Valley High School, is NU’s highest-ranked player in the 2025 class. Thirteen of the 19 prospects in the class have a four-star according to at least one of the four major recruiting services — 247 Sports, ESPN, On3 and Rivals. And all but 247 Sports, as of Tuesday evening ranked NU’s class as No. 20 in the nation. 247 Sports had the Huskers 22nd. Get local news delivered to your inbox!Guess what?

This year, I'm picking up this matching cookware set that comes with every pot, pan and cooking utensil you'll ever need — and then some. Bonus: There's a Drew-shaped Scrub Mommy sponge. How cute!" "When I lived in Costa Rica we had cows, and there was one young bull I named 'Big Tex' who I referred to as my emotional support (bull). I could sit on the ground and he would lay down and put his head in my lap. It's been over a year since I left Costa Rica and my cute bull friend, but these comfy slippers are a fun reminder of my years with the bulls and a nice way to relax at the end of the day." — "I have white marble mosaic tile in my bathroom and kitchen — and while it looks effortlessly chic, it actually requires a ton of effort to keep it clean. I've been using a grout brush for the last year, but this cordless scrubber will get rid of any dirt, crumbs and grime without any elbow grease. I especially love that it has an adjustable handle, so I don't even have to bend over to get the job done." — "I wear socks all day, every day when I'm at home, so I'm always adding to my collection. This Joyspun set looks super cozy and I really like the color options. Bonus: they have no-skid grippers on the bottom, so I won't need to wear them with slippers on my hardwood floors." — "I'm crazy about ice cream, but I'm also lactose intolerant. I dream about being able to whip up dairy-free ice cream that's delicious and decadent enough to be Oprah-approved." "This $89 deal on Beats is worth checking out if you've been thinking about upgrading your headphones. I have to admit — I'm usually more of an over-the-ear guy but my now-ancient pair of Beats on-ears are the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned, and I've owned a fair few. Be sure to snag these quickly as I'm sure they will sell out." "I am the queen of taking three sips of my coffee or tea and then walking away from my cup for an hour. Luckily, that's NBD with this self-heating smart mug from Ember that will keep my drink piping hot for as long as I need it." "If you suffer from migraines, the Renpho eye massager is a game-changer. It massages your eyes and applies heat to help relieve pressure and pain. It always goes on sale during Black Friday, but $69 is an incredible early discount (it's 65% off!)." — "I've been wanting an outdoor pizza oven for the longest time. My tastes lean toward Neapolitan, which requires crazy high heat to achieve that blistered, puffy rim on a thin pizza crust. This oven reaches temps of up to 900°F — which may seem extra, but it's essential for making an authentic Neapolitan pie. This propane-powered oven comes with a rotating cordierite pizza stone, which is reported to conduct heat beautifully and evenly — plus the rotating feature means that I won't have to manually turn my pizza. While a large part of me likes that feature because it means I can pay more attention to drinking my wine, it's also incredibly practical for making a more evenly baked pie." — "My mom love Skechers so I'll be picking her up a pair of these for the holidays while they're down to just $40. She's a fan of the slip-on, no laces style. I may just grab a pair for myself, too." "My husband and I are participating in a reading challenge, and we've upped our visits to the library by a ton! We swear by these little book lights because they let us devour our favorite books well into the night without disturbing each other. They're also handy when you're traveling — plus they're just $8, so they make a great stocking stuffer for the person who already has it all. I'm thinking of getting them for my mom and dad, both avid readers." — "I've been a loyal Fitbit fan for years, but my most recent one just broke and I think the time is now to upgrade to an Apple watch. That way, I can not only count my steps and monitor my sleep, but also listen to music, take a call, check emails and so much more right from my wrist. I'm all about this latest version since it has a bigger display and is extra thin (I hate wearing something bulky). Now, the only question is — which color band should I get?" "Now over $60 off, this multitasking tool from Shark serves as a hair dryer, styling brush (there are two attachments for achieving different looks) and a curling iron in one — you just attach the FlexStyle style to wrap, curl and set automatically. I love that it's compact for storing and traveling, and it's designed for all hair types. Important bonus: it regulates temperature consistently to help avoid heat damage." — "I own some kitchen items by this brand, and this set puts the 'fun' in 'functional.' It's so cute! I especially love the butter dish and I know the spoon rest would help spare my counter from saucy messes while making dinner. It's an incredible price point for such a large set — it ould make a lovely gift if you're not tempted to keep it for yourself." — "It's not for me, but after researching, I decided to get this Razor scooter for my niece — it comes in this pretty pink and a bright green, too. It's lightweight for transporting and has rear foot brakes for added safety. It goes up to 10 mph, which is fast enough to give her an adrenaline rush but not as fast as some of the other models I've seen ( , a necessity).

Intel stock dropped 6% Tuesday as investors reacted to the departure of the chip maker's CEO, and Wall Street analysts seem to think the company future remains uncertain. The stock dropped in Tuesday trades to close at %22.47 per share after the company announced on Monday that CEO would be leaving the company. Intel has struggled to keep up amid a tense , losing out to chip titan and AI darling Nvidia and seeing a drag on its margins after doubling down on its foundry business. It's also lost market share in its core PC and data center offerings. The stock's most recent fall brings its year-to-date losses to 55%. Intel chair Frank Yeary said the company is committed to restoring investor confidence, but Wall Street analysts say it won't be easy. Citi analysts said the departure of Gelsinger—who pushed the strategy to make Intel into a major foundry business—could make proposals for a split between its manufacturing process and chip-design business more possible, boosting its stock. "We believe it is in the best interest of Intel shareholders if the company stops trying to be a merchant foundry and we believe the chance is higher now given Gelsinger was a champion of it," the analysts said in a Monday note. If the company is able to exit its foundry business, its gross margins and earnings per share could rise, boosting its stock price to $50-$60 per share, the analysts wrote. That's as much as a 165% gain from current prices. But others warn the company's split is unlikely, and would provide only a temporary stock boost. Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya said that separating the chipmaking and design arms would give both units "much-needed" independence, but the company's $7.9 billion award requires the stock to maintain a stake between 35%-50% or more in the foundry business. That legislation could possibly be revamped by the incoming Trump administration, but even if the company's business units were to separate, Arya maintained that both still face a tough outlook. "Both businesses are undergoing their own strategic, structural, financial, and competitive issues, with no near term solution in sight. The mgmt change could provide a near-term boost to the stock, but we maintain Underperform and $21 PO," he wrote. Other analysts say that separating the two units within Intel would only temporarily boost stock prices. "It would not solve Intel's larger issues (e.g. a lagging position vs. competitors for both chip design and production), meaning any immediate bump would seem to be onetime in nature," Wedbush Securities analysts said in a Monday note. The Citi analysts also warned that Gelsinger's knowledge of semiconductors was unmatched, leaving a big hole to fill as the board searches for a . "Now that Pat is gone, the risk increases that Intel could remain behind TSMC/AMD if the new CEO is not as well-versed in advanced semiconductor manufacturing as Pat," the analysts said, maintaining their $22 price target on the stock.
