Barcelona's late-game flop at Celta Vigo seemed to be isolated to the final 10 minutes, but Hansi Flick was far more critical of his side than that. The Blaugrana seemed on their way to three points as they led 2-0 late on thanks to goals from the league's Golden Boot leaders Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha. Yet Marc Casado's 82nd-minute red card led to a complete collapse, as Celta Vigo scored in the 84th and 86th minutes to snatch a point. The Barcelona head coach was livid with his side, labeling the entirety of the 90 minutes on the north coast as a disaster. MORE: All the latest soccer news | Barcelona news "Not just the final 10 minutes. I didn’t like the whole performance," Flick told the media in his post-match press conference. "We made too many mistakes. We did not control the ball. We must return to our level." "If we're being honest, it was a very bad match," Flick continued, later labeling their performance as "awful" and saying it wasn't up to regular Barcelona standards. Helena Condis of Spanish publication Cope reported that Flick held a post-match team talk with all Barcelona players in the locker room. Condis stated that Flick was "very angry" with the squad and told them there was "no excuses." MORE: Lewandowski, Raphinha lead La Liga top goal scorer list The German placed the blame on the team's ability to remain focused across the entire 90 minutes, appearing to claim they got complacent as they reached the final stages with a multi-goal lead. "It's all about concentration, you have to focus on the small details," said Flick. "Sometimes they may think it's too easy to win, but that's not how it happens." Multiple players will be frustrated with their performance in the match. Casado is an obvious scapegoal for his careless second yellow, but Jules Kounde's error was to blame for Celta Vigo's first goal and Fermin Lopez and Raphinha both missed big second-half chances to put the game away. At the end of the 90 minutes, Barcelona found themselves significantly out-shot by Celta Vigo who produced 2.60 xG on 15 efforts, putting a whopping eight of them on frame.Avior Wealth Management LLC Purchases 48 Shares of Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc.

DETROIT (AP) — If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, booze and other goods. The president-elect floated the tariff idea, including additional 10% taxes on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to halt the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. But his posts Monday on Truth Social threatening the tariffs on his first day in office could just be a negotiating ploy to get the countries to change behavior. High food prices were a major issue in voters picking Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, but tariffs almost certainly would push those costs up even further. For instance, the Produce Distributors Association, a Washington trade group, said Tuesday that tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when other countries retaliate. “Tariffs distort the marketplace and will raise prices along the supply chain, resulting in the consumer paying more at the checkout line,” said Alan Siger, association president. Mexico and Canada are two of the biggest exporters of fresh fruit and vegetables to the U.S. In 2022, Mexico supplied 51% of fresh fruit and 69% of fresh vegetables imported by value into the U.S., while Canada supplied 2% of fresh fruit and 20% of fresh vegetables. Before the election, about 7 in 10 voters said they were very concerned about the cost of food, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters. “We’ll get them down,” Trump told shoppers during a September visit to a Pennsylvania grocery store. The U.S. is the largest importer of goods in the world, with Mexico, China and Canada its top three suppliers, according to the most recent U.S. Census data. People looking to buy a new vehicle likely would see big price increases as well, at a time when costs have gone up so much they are out of reach for many. The average price of a new vehicle now runs around $48,000. About 15% of the 15.6 million new vehicles sold in the U.S. last year came from Mexico, while 8% crossed the border from Canada, according to Global Data. Much of the tariffs would get passed along to consumers, unless automakers can somehow quickly find productivity improvements to offset them, said C.J. Finn, U.S. automotive sector leader for PwC. That means even more consumers “would potentially get priced out,” Finn said. Hardest hit would be Volkswagen, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford, Bernstein analyst Daniel Roeska wrote Tuesday in a note to investors. “A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada would severely cripple the U.S. auto industry,” he said. The tariffs would hurt U.S. industrial production so much that “we expect this is unlikely to happen in practice,” Roeska said. The tariff threat hit auto stocks on Tuesday, particularly shares of GM, which imports about 30% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. from Canada and Mexico, and Stellantis, which imports about 40% from the two countries. For both, about 55% of their lucrative pickup trucks come from Mexico and Canada. GM stock lost almost 9% of its value, while Stellantis dropped nearly 6%. It's not clear how long the tariffs would last if implemented, but they could force auto executives to move production to the U.S., which could create more jobs in the long run. However, Morningstar analyst David Whiston said automakers probably won't make any immediate moves because they can't quickly change where they build vehicles. Millions of dollars worth of auto parts flow across the borders with Mexico and Canada, and that could raise prices for already costly automobile repairs, Finn said. The Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. said tariffs on tequila or Canadian whisky won’t boost American jobs because they are distinctive products that can only be made in their country of origin. In 2023, the U.S. imported $4.6 billion worth of tequila and $108 million worth of mezcal from Mexico and $537 million worth of spirits from Canada, it said. “Tariffs on spirits products from our neighbors to the north and south are going to hurt U.S. consumers and lead to job losses across the U.S. hospitality industry,” it added. Electronics retailer Best Buy said on its third-quarter earnings conference call that it runs on thin profit margins, so while vendors and the company will shoulder some increases, Best Buy will have to pass tariffs to customers. “These are goods that people need, and higher prices are not helpful,” CEO Corie Barry said. Walmart also warned last week that tariffs could force it to raise prices. Tariffs could trigger supply chain disruptions as people buy goods before they are imposed and companies seek alternate sources of parts, said Rob Handfield, a professor of supply chain management at North Carolina State University. Some businesses might not be able to pass on the costs. “It could actually shut down a lot of industries in the United States. It could actually put a lot of U.S. businesses out of business,” he said. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who talked with Trump after his call for tariffs, said they had a good conversation about working together. "This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on and that’s what we’ll do,” Trudeau said. Trump's threats come as arrests for illegally crossing the border from Mexico have been falling . But arrests for illegally crossing the border from Canada have been rising over the past two years. Much of America’s fentanyl is smuggled from Mexico, and seizures have increased. Trump has sound legal justification to impose tariffs, even though they conflict with a 2020 trade deal brokered in large part by Trump with Canada and Mexico, said William Reinsch, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Clinton administration trade official. The treaty, known as the USMCA, is up for review in 2026. In China’s case, he could simply declare Beijing hasn't met obligations under an agreement he negotiated in his first term. For Canada and Mexico, he could say the influx of migrants and drugs are a national security threat, and turn to a section of trade law he used in his first term to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum. The law he would most likely use for Canada and Mexico has a legal process that often takes up to nine months, giving Trump time to seek a deal. If talks failed and the duties were imposed, all three countries would likely retaliate with tariffs on U.S. exports, said Reinsch, who believes Trump's tariffs threat is a negotiating ploy. U.S. companies would lobby intensively against tariffs, and would seek to have products exempted. Some of the biggest exporters from Mexico are U.S. firms that make parts there, Reinsch said. Longer term, Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said the threat of tariffs could make the U.S. an “unstable partner” in international trade. “It is an incentive to move activity outside the United States to avoid all this uncertainty,” she said. Trump transition team officials did not immediately respond to questions about what he would need to see to prevent the tariffs from being implemented and how they would impact prices in the U.S. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own. Sheinbaum said she was willing to talk about the issues, but said drugs were a U.S. problem. ___ Rugaber reported from Washington.

PM Modi made the remarks at a function in BJP headquarters to celebrate party-led Mahayuti's landslide victory in the Maharashtra assembly polls. He accused Congress of sowing seeds of "appeasement". "Congress made laws for appeasement. They did not even care about the Supreme Court's order. An example of this is the Waqf Board. The people of Delhi will be surprised. The situation was that before leaving the government in 2014, these people had handed over many properties of Delhi and surrounding areas to the Waqf Board. There is no place for Waqf law in the Constitution given to us by Babasaheb Ambedkar, but the Congress did this to increase its vote bank," he said.

The Waqf Amendment Bill,2024 is on the agenda of the government in the winter session of Parliament beginning on December 25. The bill is being examined by a joint committee of the two Houses of Parliament. The bill seeks to bring sweeping reforms, introducing digitisation, stricter audits, transparency and legal mechanisms to reclaim illegally occupied properties. The JPC is holding a series of meetings to gather input from government officials, legal experts, Waqf Board members and community representatives from different states and Union Territories, aiming for the most comprehensive reform possible. Maharashtra Assembly Elections Results 2024: BJP Emerges Single Largest Party With 132 Seats. In his speech, PM Modi referred to the landslide victory in Maharashtra. "This is the third consecutive time that the BJP has emerged as the largest party in Maharashtra, which is undoubtedly a historic feat. This victory is a stamp on the BJP's governance model. The people of Maharashtra have given the BJP many more seats than the Congress and its allies combined. This shows that when it comes to good governance, the country trusts only the BJP and the NDA," he said. The Prime Minister also attacked the Congress and alleged that its "alignment with urban Naxalism has emerged as a new challenge". "The Congress party's sole focus is on the family, disregarding the welfare of the nation's people. A party that prioritises family over citizens poses a significant threat to democracy... Notably, Congress's alignment with urban Naxalism has emerged as a new challenge for India. It's alarming to note that these urban Naxalites are controlled by external forces, making it essential for everyone to exercise extreme caution," he said. "Today, Maharashtra has witnessed the triumph of development, good governance, and genuine social justice. Today, the forces of deception, divisive politics, and family dynasty have been defeated! Today, Maharashtra has strengthened its resolve for a developed India. I congratulate and applaud all BJP and NDA workers across the country," he added. He alleged that Congress has become a "parjeevi" (parasitic party) for whom it is very difficult to form the government on its own. "Congress has now become a parasitic party, increasingly difficult for it to form government on its own. Congress not only sinks its own boat, but also the boats of its allies. Today we have seen the same thing in Maharashtra also," he said. The Prime Minister received a grand welcomed as he arrived at the BJP headquarters and greeted party workers and leaders present there. The ruling Mahayuti alliance won the Maharashtra assembly polls and is poised for a landslide mandate. JMM-led alliance returned to power in Jharkhand. In Maharashtra, the BJP led the Mahayuti alliance to a smashing victory carrying its allies - Shiv Sena and NCP - with its momentum.UCF, LSU face off with improved focus in mindA cereal switch-up is stirring up sweet — well, mostly salty — discussion.

Titans QB Mason Rudolph gets another chance at starting, this time against the JagsBill Belichick didn't wait around for a call that he might not get from an NFL team. With no guarantees that another opportunity might come his way — only the Atlanta Falcons interviewed Belichick last offseason — and unsure whether he could find the right fit in the NFL, the 72-year-old future Hall of Fame coach decided to go back to school. Belichick took his eight Super Bowl rings to North Carolina on a mission to build a college program the way he constructed two dynasties during 24 seasons with the New England Patriots. It starts with doing things his way. The Patriot Way is legendary. Perhaps it'll translate into the Tar Heel way. That's to be determined. But Belichick is back doing what he loves: coaching. And, he's going to run the show with his guys around him. An NFL team giving Belichick full control the way he had in New England seemed unlikely. Success at North Carolina could change that thinking. For now, Belichick's quest to break Don Shula's all-time record for most wins in the NFL is on hold. He's 15 victories short but the buyout clause in his college contract — a $10 million fee if done before June 2025 and $1 million after that date — leaves the window open for a return to the league. If Belichick stays in college or retires without returning to the NFL, his legacy is already cemented. Winning at North Carolina will only enhance his reputation. Losing won't impact his NFL resume. "He's one of the all-time great coaches. What he's done for the NFL and the game, we all know where he'll end up — in the Hall of Fame with a gold jacket," Dallas Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said Wednesday shortly before Belichick agreed on a five-year deal with North Carolina that pays him $10 million in base and supplemental salary annually with up to $3.5 million in bonuses per year. Belichick has his detractors. There's no denying he couldn't win without Tom Brady. He was 29-39 and had no playoff wins without No. 12 in his final four seasons with the Patriots. Critics have labeled him a cheater because of the Spygate and Deflategate scandals. He overlooked Aaron Hernandez's issues. He was tough on players, even alienating Brady in the end and letting him walk him away in free agency in 2020 only to see him lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl in his first season there. But Belichick instilled in players the importance of doing their job and presided over an unprecedented two-decade run of dominance that withstood changing times, free agency, salary-cap restrictions and much more. Brady has always maintained how important Belichick was for his career, giving him credit for helping him become one of the best players in sports. Now, Belichick is onto Chapel Hill in a surprise twist after he spent most of the NFL season reinventing himself as an entertaining and engaging analyst. Belichick is a football genius and his knowledge came across on television. But he also displayed a fun personality, trading quips with the Mannings and cracking jokes with Pat McAffee. "College kind of came to me this year," Belichick said at his introductory news conference. "I didn't necessarily go and seek it out. I had many coaches, probably a couple dozen coaches, talk to me and say, 'Can we come down and talk to you about these things?' Let's call it the salary cap of pro football relative to college football. The headsets, the green dot, the two-minute warning, the tablets on the sideline. Those were all rules changes this year for college football that were either or the same or similar to what we had in the NFL. These coaches said, 'Hey coach can we talk to you about how you did this? How you did that? How did you use this?'. "As those conversations started and then the personnel conversations started relative to salary cap and how you spend whatever the allotment of money you have. I'd say that started to make me a lot more aware of it because the first thing I would have to do is learn about it. .... As you learn different things about different programs you start to put it all together. There is some common threads and there's some variables." How will he do as a college coach? Nobody knows yet. Three of Belichick's former players were skeptical before he took the job. "There's a lot of things he can do, and obviously he's tremendous, and even showing his personality. But getting out there on the recruiting trail and dealing with all these college kids, that would be ..." Brady said before trailing off during a conversation on Fox's NFL pregame show last Sunday. Fellow former Patriots Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman also wondered the same. "Can you imagine NIL, and all that nonsense?" Gronkowski said. Edelman added: "Can you imagine Bill on a couch recruiting an 18-year-old?" But Belichick doesn't have to recruit kids on visits. These are new times in college sports. The NIL has dramatically changed the landscape. Plus, Belichick's name is enough. Just like Deion Sanders at Colorado. "I think it could be great for this game, honestly, if he can find a way to make college football more like this in terms of what's being asked of the coaches, the recruiting staff, the personnel, the NIL, and all those different things," Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Cohen said. "If he can make it a little bit less demanding on some of the coaches and create a great atmosphere and have success, I think it's great for our game. It's pretty cool to see, actually." Time for Belichick to do his job.

'24 in 24': Sask. woman's initiative collects almost 750 kg of food for the communitySearching for hidden medieval stories from the island of the SagasPresident-elect Donald Trump has pledged to end birthright citizenship, which would undo 150 years of how the U.S. has handled the issue. Trump made the comments during NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. He was asked if he still plans to end birthright citizenship, to which he said, “Yeah, absolutely.” Birthright citizenship means that anyone born in the country automatically becomes a citizen. This includes children of undocumented immigrants and tourists, and students in the U.S. on short-term visas. Trump said he would be open to working across the aisle to keep so-called Dreamers in the country, who are undocumented people who came to the U.S. as children. But he also opened the door to deporting U.S. citizens to avoid separating families. “I don’t want to be breaking up families, so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back,” he said. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1868, guarantees birthright citizenship. “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,” it states. The amendment guarantees this right “regardless of their parent’s immigration or citizenship status,” the American Immigration Council states on its site. “For over a century, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the 14th Amendment as conferring U.S. citizenship automatically to anyone born on U.S. soil.” The 14th Amendment was estabished following the Civil War to overturn the Supreme Court decision Dred Scott v. Sandford , which denied citizenship to African Americans. Meet the Press host Kristen Welker mentioned the 14th Amendment, asking Trump how he would go about getting around it. “We’re going to have to get a change,” he said, adding, “We have to end it.” Trump said he’s planning on changing the practice using executive action, noting that there are other options. Trump told Axios in 2018: “You can definitely do it with an act of Congress ... but now they’re saying I can do it just with an executive order.” But both legal and political leaders have poured cold water on Trump’s claims, with former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan saying that same year: “You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order.” The “14th Amendment is pretty clear, and that would involve a very, very lengthy constitutional process,” he added. Changing the Constitution requires support by a two-thirds majority in both chambers of Congress. In addition, an amendment must also be ratified by three-fourths of all state legislatures. Republicans have a 53 to 47 majority in the Senate and a 220 to 215 majority in the House, meaning that the GOP doesn’t have a two-thirds majority in either chamber. The American Immigration Council noted in 2011 that the possible end of birthright citizenship would cause parents to have to prove their children’s citizenship status. “Our birth certificates are proof of our citizenship. If birthright citizenship were eliminated, U.S. citizens could no longer use their birth certificates as proof of citizenship,” the council said.

On Thursday the Irish Times revealed that in February 2022 a private and previously undisclosed dinner meeting took place at an upmarket Dublin restaurant involving Mr Donohoe and Mr O’Leary. Mr Donohoe’s spokeswoman said it was a private dinner and that no business matters were discussed, and neither were matters of policy or regulation. It was not included in his ministerial diary – which his spokeswoman said was “used predominantly to log official events”. No lobbying return was made by Ryanair regarding the dinner. The airline said: “Since this was a social setting (in a public place) no lobbying took place and no lobbying return was required or necessary.” Mr Donohoe was minister for finance and president of the Eurogroup at the time. On Friday Mr Donohoe insisted it was possible for a person holding those roles to have a purely social meeting with the boss of Europe’s biggest airline. Mr Harris agreed with this on Saturday. He said that he does not think that he himself has ever met Mr O’Leary, adding “not that there’s any problems with meeting Michael O’Leary”. Asked if he had similar private meetings with other executives from multinational companies, Mr Harris said: “I’m not aware of any such dinners that I’ve had.” He said: “Of course people in this country come into contact with each other in social environments on a very regular basis. “There are very clear rules, introduced by Fine Gael ... in relation to issues around lobbying and the like and I’m assured that this dinner didn’t fall into that category at all.” Asked if the dinner meeting between Mr Donohoe and Mr O’Leary was an example of Fine Gael being too close to big business, he said: “My party is proudly pro-enterprise. It’s proudly pro-foreign direct investment and pro-backing small business and there are policies in relation to both that we are putting forward in this election.” Mr Donohoe has said he and Mr O’Leary discussed “general matters” at the dinner, adding: “if any issue in relation to Government business, regulation or policy had been dealt with that would have been recorded and it would have been dealt with in the same way that every other engagement that I do is dealt with.” Fine Gael faced a significant political backlash after comments made by Mr O’Leary at the launch of Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke’s campaign just after the general election was called. A video of his remarks that surfaced after the event showed he said he would not employ teachers “to go out and get things done”, saying that the Dáil was “full of teachers”.

Lead Official for Indiana-Ohio State Game Already Disrespected Indiana

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Preseason’s over. Now the real work begins for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the past three months have been promising and productive for the first-place Steelers (10-3), it has come largely at the expense of teams who will likely watch the playoffs on TV. Six of Pittsburgh’s victories have come against teams who currently have losing records. The other four wins — Denver , the Chargers , Washington and Baltimore — are solid resume-builders with a small caveat: none of them lead their respective divisions. To be clear, Pittsburgh’s play is part of the reason those four clubs find themselves looking up to others in the standings. That will change on Sunday when the Steelers travel across the state to face NFC juggernaut Philadelphia , the start of an 11-day sprint in which Pittsburgh also faces a rematch with the Ravens and spends Christmas Day at Acrisure Stadium against Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs . “It’s just going to show us how good we can be,” safety DeShon Elliott said. It’s a testament to the weekly tunnel vision Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin creates that wide receiver Calvin Austin III needed to be reminded about the daunting stretch that awaits after Sunday’s relatively drama-free 27-14 win over Cleveland. RELATED COVERAGE Tua Tagovailoa’s strong play has helped keep the Dolphins’ playoff hopes alive Panthers lose rookie RB Jonathon Brooks for the season to a torn ACL; same knee he injured at Texas Atop the NFC West with a 4-game winning streak, the Seahawks are in playoff mode “Who do we play again?” Austin said. When reminded it was three teams that fully expect to be in New Orleans on the second Sunday in February, Austin laughed. “That’s a tough little stretch, but at the end of the day it’s a five-star matchup as Coach T says because we’re in it,” he said. “We know that when we’re out there, it’s going to always be a big-time performance.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Get the poll delivered straight to your inbox with AP Top 25 Poll Alerts. Sign up here . One Austin and his teammates believe they’re ready for after a workmanlike victory over the Browns in which the Steelers were only too intent to let Cleveland self-destruct behind a flurry of penalties, missed field goals and turnovers. More will likely be required in the coming weeks, which is fine by the Steelers. They have put themselves in a position to do things the franchise hasn’t done in a while. And for all the good things they’ve done since early September, they’re only too aware their season will be defined by what comes next. Sure, they’d love a little more time between games to rest up. The scheduling gods didn’t give them that option. So be it. “I feel like the league kind of hates us already, man,” Elliott said. “It’s all right. We’re going to go out here, play those games, work our butts off, go out and be 3-0.” What’s working Letting everybody eat. Russell Wilson seems to be almost pathological in his determination to get every eligible skill position player involved. A week ago against the Bengals , he connected with 10 different players. In the rematch with the Browns, it was eight, including Mike Williams and Scotty Miller, veterans who have largely been afterthoughts of late. Tomlin greeted Miller after an acrobatic 20-yard third down grab on the sideline in the third quarter with “this isn’t a lightning strike,” a popular Tomlin-ism that means simply Miller did all the work necessary to succeed, so it shouldn’t be a surprise when it comes. Asked if he felt compelled to mention this to Tomlin the next time Miller is a candidate to be inactive on game days — as he has often been in recent weeks — Miller smiled. “If you could tell him that, that’d be great,” he said with a laugh. What needs help George Pickens’ maturity. While Pickens believes opponents haven’t found a way to get under his skin, the evidence suggests otherwise. How else to explain why nearly three years into his career, Pickens still frequently finds an envelope in his locker from the league telling him he’s been fined for everything from unsportsmanlike conduct to unnecessary roughness? Pickens’ teammates respect his talent and understand his importance — look at how disjointed the offense looked on Sunday for proof — but will he “cut out the stupid stuff” before the playoffs arrive? That will be entirely up to Pickens. Nothing seems to have gotten through so far. Maybe watching the team win without him while nursing a hamstring injury — as Pickens did on Sunday — will do the trick. Stock up The Steelers may have found their heir apparent to the seemingly ageless Cam Heyward in second-year defensive tackle Keeanu Benton. While Benton will likely never come close to matching Heyward’s impact as a pass rusher, he can do just about everything else and his first career interception on Sunday — a leaping pick of an ill-advised screen pass by Jameis Winston — showcased his spiking football IQ. Stock down Everyone who put money down during the offseason on the Steelers missing the playoffs . It looked like a good investment over the summer with two new quarterbacks, a new offensive coordinator, no second big-play wide receiver to complement Pickens and playing in what was viewed as the best division in the league. Not so much anymore. Pittsburgh has a 99% chance of reaching the postseason for the fourth time in five years. Injuries Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi — selected as the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee last week — left in the second quarter with a groin injury. Defensive tackle Montravius Adams (knee) is trending toward playing for the first time since October and could be available in Philadelphia. Key number Plus-28 — the Steelers’ turnover margin since the start of the 2023 season, tops in the NFL. Next steps Try to do something they haven’t done in nearly 60 years: beat the Eagles on the road. Pittsburgh’s most recent victory in Philadelphia was on Oct. 24, 1965. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflASX to rise on prospect for bolder China stimulus

UCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures. Ivy-Curry (16.8 points per game), Hall (16.2) and Darius Johnson (13.0) have been leading the way for UCF. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the Knights and Tigers. --Field Level Media

You were elected to the WA Parliament in 2013, as the 23rd Irish-born MP in WA. What’s something distinctly Irish that you might have brought to the Parliament? I’m the first Irish-born WA MP in about 50 years. I was an Irish dancer (in Ireland) and sang Irish songs. I brought renewed enthusiasm for Irish culture to the WA Parliament. For example, we have a St Patrick’s event at Parliament every year now. You’re an openly gay politician. Has that presented any challenges during your parliamentary career? No, it hasn’t. I’ve been lucky, I’ve never been bullied openly. But I know members of my community have been. You came out in your late teens. Was that tough, coming out to your Irish Catholic family? It was. It was a challenge in the early days. It surprised my parents. They felt saddened because they didn’t think I would get the same opportunities as the rest of my siblings, like having a family. They were worried I wouldn’t be treated the same in society. It was harder for my mum. She worried about my future. We are a very close-knit family. They are very supportive. You are married to Dennis, who was the campaign co-ordinator for the WA Voice Yes campaign in WA. Two words to describe your husband. My rock. In fact, you’ve married Dennis three times. I’m probably the only person who has married the same person three times. We did it once in Ireland in 2012, when Ireland allowed Irish people to have a civil union. Then we did it in 2013 in Canberra. It (marriage) stood for six days in Canberra (because of the High Court challenge). And so, we did it again when Australia eventually voted to allow marriage equality in 2018. Dennis and I joke that our marriage in Canberra was at least longer than one of Brittany Spears’ weddings. You and Dennis are parents to a little boy, Jasper, who is 10. Is being a dad what you thought it would be? It’s been amazing. He is a delightful child and a loving individual. Jasper changed our lives immeasurably. I love being a parent. We co-parent with his mother. We share the parenting. He has a big Rainbow family, lot of parents, lots of grandparents, and lots of love. You were born in Dublin and emigrated to Australia in 1989 aged 14 with your mother and father, Phyllis and Noel, and sisters Mairead and Brid and brother Cormac. What was your first impressions of your new Aussie mates? It was like moving to the set of Home and Away. In Ireland I went to a Christian Brothers school which was very strict. To then go to Hollywood Senior High School in Perth was like being in Home and Away. Surfboards. Blokes with long hair, skateboards. But everyone was welcoming. I’m told you initially wanted to be an actor after leaving school. I did. I did some television ads and was in a miniseries for Channel 7. I won’t mention which one in case people track it down. I haven’t given up (on being an actor yet). They are always looking for Irish actors in shows. I’m available! Favourite actor? I love Morgan Freeman. I didn’t mind Arnold Schwarzenegger as well. I loved the way he said ‘I’ll be back’. You joined a union at age 14 working at Hungry Jack’s. Perhaps you were always destined to be a Labor politician? Probably. Dad was a shop steward in Ireland. I’d always been conscious of what unions deliver for working families. I joined the Labor Party in 1995. I was a candidate in 2008 for the Upper House and then in 2013 (former Labor minister) Jon Ford — who I had previously worked for — stepped down and I replaced him. You were Aboriginal Affairs Minister for nine months in 2021. The rollout of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act in 2023 was a disaster. Why do you think that was the case? We got it wrong. The community wasn’t on side, and we made a decision to overturn it. Hindsight is a great thing. As the now Minister for Emergency Services, how worried are you about the upcoming bushfire season? This keeps me awake at night. Things sit in my conscience. I want to make sure our volunteers and our career fire fighters have the best equipment available. Equally, I want the community to do what they can do. We will have some significant fires this season, we will have some cyclones in the North West and floods. Joe Spagnolo When do the two extra Black Hawk helicopters and the Large aerial tanker arrive? Within next two weeks. You are a bit of a Mr Fix-It, you’ve been given a few portfolios. I’m hearing there may be a change in Health after the election? Interested? I serve at the pleasure of the Premier. I take whatever job I’m given. Amber’s done a great job in health. You are the member for Mining and Pastoral. What’s the biggest issue facing your electorate? Access to quality services. My electorate is far away from Perth, we don’t have the same access to doctors and medical specialists as you do in the city. So it’s really important we use things like technology to be able to link the citizens of my electorate with medical services. Two Indigenous boys have died while in prison under Labor’s watch. How do you react to that? Suicide is a tragedy. Some of these kids don’t have a chance from when they are born. So, it’s about trying to do all you can to put them on a right path and giving them the right support. Mental health treatment is really important. Number one issue this election? Ensuring that all West Australians are benefiting from our economy. Why do you think Labor will win a third term of government? I wouldn’t be so bold as to say Labor will win a third term, but we have been a very good team. We have delivered across the State in a range of areas. Do you want Anthony Albanese to go to the polls before or after the WA election in March? That’s a decision for the Prime Minister. We will run our own race in Western Australia. Describe Roger Cook. Team Player. Quality leader. Libby Mettam or Basil Zempilas — who would be the most formidable opponent? I think Libby is on borrowed time. I think that there will be a change (in leadership) before the election. We will compete against whoever is the leader. Will you be a career politician? I am here for a good time, not a long time. I am not here forever. I love it, but when I stop loving it, I expect I’ll make a decision.Tonya Garcia (Bloomberg) — A Starbucks Corp. barista strike has shut down about 170 cafes, according to the coffee chain, disrupting service at locations nationwide during the final days of the crucial holiday shopping season. The union said it expects the number of stores impacted to hit 300, but it’s unclear if the group will hit that target by the end of Christmas Eve. Over 5,000 workers in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, among other cities, planned to join the work stoppage on Tuesday, according to an emailed statement from Starbucks Workers United. Elected officials, including Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey, have also joined striking baristas on the picket line over previous days, with the union asking for further support on its last scheduled day of action. The walkouts began on Dec. 20 at a handful of locations in Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle and escalated over the following days. “Only around 170 Starbucks stores did not open as planned,” the company said Tuesday morning, leaving 98% of its more-than 10,000 company-operated stores open. Baristas will return to work Wednesday or Thursday, and are ready to resume negotiations, according to the union. Starbucks Workers United planned the walkouts to coincide with the days leading up to Christmas — an important time for Starbucks as shoppers treat themselves to lattes while finishing up their shopping. In addition to beverages, the company sells a large volume of gift cards during the year’s final months. The strikes were sparked by a breakdown in final-stage negotiations between the union and company leadership, according to the union, which represents employees at over 500 stores. Starbucks Workers United said the coffee chain offered a package that included no immediate pay raises for its members. Unionized employees and the company have been facing off since the first store organized for better pay, hours and schedules in December 2021. Earlier, Starbucks said the union “prematurely ended” a bargaining session and called for talks to continue. The coffee chain has said it’s focused on improving workers’ experience and that baristas who work at least 20 hours a week receive $30 an hour, on average, when combining pay and benefits. Starbucks Chief Executive Officer Brian Niccol, who took the top job in September, has pledged to negotiate with the union in good faith. The Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and Taco Bell veteran was hired to turn around sagging sales. Since he took over on Sept. 9, the stock has declined about 3%, compared with a 10% gain for the S&P 500 Index.
