The council's director of planning and environment Julie Costa will be the acting CEO until a full-time replacement is found. Yass mayor Jasmin Jones said it would be "business as usual" for ratepayers and residents, but did not give a reason for promptly sacking the former chief. "For our customers, residents and ratepayers, it will be business as usual, and I can assure our community that there will be no interruptions to service delivery during this transition period," Cr Jones in a statement. "Our councillors, management and staff remain firmly focused on improving council's financial performance and achieving positive outcomes for our customers and community." An aerial view of Yass. Picture Yass Valley Council. According its website, Mr Berry had worked for the council since 2014, including a stint as planning director. The Yass council website trumpets Mr Berry's achievements during his tenure.

He was previously general manager of the neighbouring Goulburn council. Earlier this month, Goulburn Mulwaree Council's CEO Aaron Johansson quit, citing an untenable relationship with the mayor Nina Dillon. He cited "differences of opinion" between himself and the mayor over the health of council finances as a key reason. But "multiple factors" played a role.

Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole paid homage to Manmohan Singh, emphasizing he was a strong leader, not weak, as recognized worldwide. Addressing Singh's passing at age 92, Patole noted the international respect the former Prime Minister garnered. Manmohan Singh, lauded for ushering India into economic liberalization during the 1990s, was cremated with full state honors in New Delhi. His funeral witnessed attendance from top national and international dignitaries, and his daughter Upinder Singh lit the pyre at Nigambodh Ghat. A controversy emerged over Singh's memorial, with Congress accusing the BJP government of disrespect. The party highlighted the denial of a memorial plan at the funeral site, asserting BJP's deliberate slight against India's first Sikh Prime Minister. (With inputs from agencies.)

These players had no quit in them always working hard each week trying to get ready for each opponent. Biggest thing I would like to say is the team’s ability to overcome adversity and how they dealt with it towards the end of the season. They never panicked handled themselves very maturely and professional. We had some major obstacles to overcome and they banded together as a team to figure out how to keep pushing. The team improved each and every week leading into playoffs. We played some of our best football in the post season play. When the opportunity presented itself, the kids really stepped up and performed. All season we talked about success and what it looks like. well, they were listening they deserve everything they have accomplished this season. Congrats and thank you to all of the Varsity players and staff for a job well done." - Coach Bird

Some tech industry leaders are pushing the incoming Trump administration to increase visas for highly skilled workers from other nations. Related Articles National Politics | Trump threat to immigrant health care tempered by economic hopes National Politics | In states that ban abortion, social safety net programs often fail families National Politics | Court rules Georgia lawmakers can subpoena Fani Willis for information related to her Trump case National Politics | New 2025 laws hit hot topics from AI in movies to rapid-fire guns National Politics | Trump has pressed for voting changes. GOP majorities in Congress will try to make that happen The heart of the argument is, for America to remain competitive, the country needs to expand the number of skilled visas it gives out. The previous Trump administration did not increase the skilled visa program, instead clamping down on visas for students and educated workers, increasing denial rates. Not everyone in corporate America thinks the skilled worker program is great. Former workers at IT company Cognizant recently won a federal class-action lawsuit that said the company favored Indian employees over Americans from 2013 to 2022. A Bloomberg investigation found Cognizant, and other similar outsourcing companies, mainly used its skilled work visas for lower-level positions. Workers alleged Cognizant preferred Indian workers because they could be paid less and were more willing to accept inconvenient or less-favorable assignments. Question: Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers? Caroline Freund, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy YES: Innovation is our superpower and it relies on people. Sourcing talent from 8 billion people in the world instead of 330 million here makes sense. Nearly half our Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Growing them also relies on expanding our skilled workforce. The cap on skilled-worker visas has hardly changed since the computer age started. With AI on the horizon, attracting and building talent is more important than ever. Kelly Cunningham, San Diego Institute for Economic Research YES: After years of openly allowing millions of undocumented entrants into the country, why is there controversy over legally increasing somewhat the number having desirable skills? Undocumented immigration significantly impacts lower skill level jobs and wages competing with domestic workers at every skill level. Why should special cases be made against those having higher skills? Could they just not walk across the border anyway, why make it more inconvenient to those with desirable skills? James Hamilton, UC San Diego YES: Knowledge and technology are key drivers of the U.S. economy. Students come from all over the world to learn at U.S. universities, and their spending contributed $50 billion to U.S. exports last year. Technological advantage is what keeps us ahead of the rest of the world. Highly skilled immigrants contribute much more in taxes than they receive in public benefits. The skills immigrants bring to America can make us all better off. Norm Miller, University of San Diego YES: According to Forbes, the majority of billion-dollar startups were founded by foreigners. I’ve interviewed dozens of data analysts and programmers from Berkeley, UCSD, USD and a few other schools and 75% of them are foreign. There simply are not enough American graduates to fill the AI and data mining related jobs now exploding in the U.S. If we wish to remain a competitive economy, we need highly skilled and bright immigrants to come here and stay. David Ely, San Diego State University YES: Being able to employ highly skilled workers from a larger pool of candidates would strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. companies by increasing their capacity to perform research and innovate. This would boost the country’s economic output. Skilled workers from other nations that cannot remain in the U.S. will find jobs working for foreign rivals. The demand for H-1B visas far exceeds the current cap of 85,000, demonstrating a need to modify this program. Phil Blair, Manpower YES: Every country needs skilled workers, at all levels, to grow its economy. We should take advantage of the opportunity these workers provide our employers who need these skills. It should be blended into our immigration policies allowing for both short and long term visas. Gary London, London Moeder Advisors YES: San Diego is a premiere example of how highly skilled workers from around the globe enrich a community and its regional economy. Of course Visa levels need to be increased. But let’s go further. Tie visas and immigration with a provision that those who are admitted and educated at a U.S. university be incentivized, or even required, to be employed in the U.S. in exchange for their admittance. Bob Rauch, R.A. Rauch & Associates NO: While attracting high-skilled immigrants can fill critical gaps in sectors like technology, health care and advanced manufacturing, increasing high-skilled immigration could displace American workers and drive down wages in certain industries. There are already many qualified American workers available for some of these jobs. We should balance the need for specialized skills with the impact on the domestic workforce. I believe we can begin to increase the number of visas after a careful review of abuse. Austin Neudecker, Weave Growth YES: We should expand skilled visas to drive innovation and economic growth. Individuals who perform high-skilled work in labor-restricted industries or graduate from respected colleges with relevant degrees should be prioritized for naturalization. We depend on immigration for GDP growth, tax revenue, research, and so much more. Despite the abhorrent rhetoric and curtailing of visas in the first term, I hope the incoming administration can be persuaded to enact positive changes to a clearly flawed system. Chris Van Gorder, Scripps Health YES: But it should be based upon need, not politics. There are several industries that have or could have skilled workforce shortages, especially if the next administration tightens immigration as promised and expected. Over the years, there have been nursing shortages that have been met partially by trained and skilled nurses from other countries. The physician shortage is expected to get worse in the years to come. So, this visa program may very well be needed. Jamie Moraga, Franklin Revere NO: While skilled immigration could boost our economy and competitiveness, the U.S. should prioritize developing our domestic workforce. Hiring foreign nationals in sensitive industries or government-related work, especially in advanced technology or defense, raises security concerns. A balanced approach could involve targeted increases in non-sensitive high-demand fields coupled with investment in domestic STEM education and training programs. This could address immediate needs while strengthening the long-term STEM capabilities of the American workforce.

DALLAS — Next year will feature President-elect Donald Trump’s America First agenda and a Texas legislative session that could reignite the power struggle among state Republicans. The year will abound with national and local intrigue. The Legislature kicks off its 140-day session Jan. 14. Lawmakers are required to pass only a budget during that time. However, they’ll also approve scores of other bills that will impact the lives of everyday Texans. Trump’s policies — from immigration to energy — are expected to influence the laws and policies developed in Texas. Locally, the upcoming year will feature municipal elections and the selection of new executives to lead Dallas City Hall. Here’s the 2025 political drama to watch. The race for Texas House speaker State Rep. David Cook, the former mayor of Mansfield, is a leading contender for House speaker. His contest against Lubbock’s Dustin Burrows is the latest chapter in a GOP power struggle that highlighted the 2024 election season. Cook has the support of a majority of House Republicans, while Burrows says he has enough bipartisan backing to become speaker. The Texas Republican Party, led by Plano’s Abraham George, is mounting a pressure campaign to achieve a united GOP front for Cook. A major issue is whether to allow Democrats to chair House committees, a practice opposed by many conservative activists. Democrats, of course, are against Cook’s candidacy because he’s made it clear he won’t appoint them to committee leadership roles. If Republicans are not united for the Jan. 14 vote, House Democrats will influence who becomes the next speaker. Outgoing House Speaker Dade Phelan was the last casualty of the 2024 Texas Republican infighting. Though he narrowly won reelection in his Beaumont-area district, Phelan opted against another term as speaker. The far right wing of the GOP blamed him for conservative priorities failing in the House. Phelan also was criticized for the 2023 House vote to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, who was cleared on corruption charges by the Senate. School choice, the Texas grid and casinos One of the biggest issues for the upcoming session is the funding of public education, along with a voucherlike plan that would allow Texas students to use public dollars to attend private schools. After helping to oust eight Republicans who opposed his school choice plan, Gov. Greg Abbott says he now has the votes to get a bill to his desk. With the writing on the chalkboard, public school advocates and administrators are trying to cut the best deal possible. They hope it includes a robust increase in public school funding and pay raises for teachers. Abbott has refrained from backing such proposals until his school choice legislation is approved. Along with education, expect lawmakers to use much of a projected $20 billion surplus to give Texans another property tax reduction. In 2023, Abbott signed a bill for an $18 billion property tax reduction. Meanwhile, lawmakers likely will consider more fortifications to the Texas energy grid, legislation to ensure the availability of water and policies that place guardrails around artificial intelligence, an emerging technology that is changing the way we live. Other possibilities include improving access to health care for rural Texans. Conservatives may seek ways to bolster anti-abortion laws, which are already some of the toughest in the nation. There will be an attempt to put the issue of casino gambling before Texas voters, though analysts believe such a proposal won’t pass the Senate. Trump’s immigration policy The election of Trump as president will impact Texas politics. Trump vowed to stage the largest mass deportation of unauthorized immigrants in U.S. history. Texas legislators and law enforcement officials must determine what role, if any, they play in that process. Abbott has said he expects Trump to start with deporting criminals and dangerous sorts, a move he supports. Texans are waiting to see if raids on businesses and homes will occur as well as how deep federal officials will reach in trying to remove the estimated 2 million people in the state without authorization. With Trump in the White House, Abbott says it’s likely that funding for Operation Lone Star, launched in 2021, will decrease. The operation focuses on arresting undocumented immigrants on state charges, such as trespassing, and on making border crossings more difficult by installing razor wire and other physical barriers along the Rio Grande. The initiative’s cost has climbed to $11 billion, and Abbott wants another $2.9 billion to run the program through 2027. How bruised Democrats regroup It was a rough election year for Texas Democrats. Republican incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz scored an easy reelection win over U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas. In what was billed as a close race, Cruz won by 8.5 percentage points, a setback given that in 2018 he beat Democrat Beto O’Rourke by only 2.6 points. Trump overwhelmed Vice President Kamala Harris in Texas by 14 points, a far greater victory than his 5.6-point Lone Star win in 2020. Democrats also lost 25 out of 25 appellate court races. Democrats inside and outside of Texas are pondering the path forward. In March, Texas Democrats will elect a new chairman to replace Gilberto Hinojosa of Brownsville, who resigned in November. State Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, was elected to lead House Democrats, who must strategize how to effectively navigate a Republican-controlled Legislature. Dallas politics It will be a busy year in Dallas politics. Council members are up for reelection in May. And though Mayor Eric Johnson is not on the ballot, observers are watching to see how — or if — he finishes his second term, which expires in 2027. There’s been speculation that Johnson, who in 2023 switched to the Republican Party, could find opportunities elsewhere, perhaps with the Trump administration. He has said he’ll finish his term. Meanwhile, Dallas council members must select a city manager, who then must hire a new police chief. The council and next city manager face pension fund shortfalls, as well as the impact of two propositions approved by voters in November. Proposition S allows anyone to file a lawsuit against the city – even if they have no stake in the alleged grievance. Proposition U mandates a police force of 4,000 cops, which will surely have budget implications.Saudi Aramco unit in talks to invest $1 billion in US software maker Mavenir, sources say

Law enforcement agencies in Hyderabad have intensified their efforts to combat cybercrime: To tackle cybercrime effectively, experts recommend: The surge in cybercrime, particularly as Majority of Private Employees in Hyderabad are Victims of CyberCrime , poses a significant threat to both individuals and the economy. Addressing this challenge demands a unified approach, integrating robust law enforcement actions, public education, and enhanced digital security measures. Victims of cybercrime include older adults, who are targeted for their financial resources and lower tech literacy, often losing significant amounts to scams. Young adults under 25 are also common victims, falling prey to social engineering and online scams due to their digital habits. Businesses and organizations face threats like ransomware and data breaches, resulting in financial and reputational losses.

How Applied Technology is Reshaping Healthcare TrainingSeneca and Mount Vernon met in Week 2 of the regular season and the Indians earned a 35-14 victory at home. Now, they'll meet in Mount Vernon (9-3) at 1 p.m. Saturday for a state quarterfinal game. This makes three years of meeting in the playoffs but the first of those that's for a state quarterfinal game instead of a district championship. Seneca (11-0) was in Class 3 District 6 this year and Mount Vernon in District 5. They're playing for a spot in the semifinals now. Both coaches talked about that first meeting of the year. "I think both teams have changed a bunch. You can't really look at that first game," Seneca head coach Cody Hilburn said. "I think you'll see two totally different football teams this Saturday." "The good thing is we played them closer than anyone else this year. The bad thing is they beat us by 21 points," Mount Vernon head coach Tom Cox said. Not only did the Mountaineers play the Indians closer than any other team this year, they held Seneca to its lowest offensive output of the year. They were the only team to keep the Indians below 41 points and the only one to keep the final margin lower than 28 points. Seneca has outscored opponents by an average of 41 points per game. It averages 53 ppg offensively and its stingy defense only allows 11.5. Mount Vernon has been able to score 37.7 ppg and allows 25.4. No opponent has been able to score more than 21 on the Indians in 2024. The offense trying to do that on Saturday is led by two career leaders in Mount Vernon history. Quarterback Gavin Johnston is the program's best passer with a career best 65 passing touchdowns and 7,197 yards. He stepped into his starting role during a playoff game his freshman year of 2021 against Stockton and went on to become the Mountaineers' statistically best passer. Johnston has 2,608 yards and 25 touchdowns this year. Running back Braden Dodson is also a career leader for Mount Vernon with 5,435 yards and 77 touchdowns. He's run the ball for 1,485 yards this year and 25 more touchdowns. This shows the dual threat ability of the Mountaineers. "That makes them tough to defend," Hilburn said. Seneca is led offensively by the rushing attack of quarterbacks Kaden Clouse and Brodie Probert and running back Roman Miller. The trio has more than 3,400 yards and Clouse and Miller are both over 1,200. Clouse has also thrown for over 1,000 yards this year. Cox said he knows his team will have to win the line of scrimmage battle to slow down that run game. "They are big and physical up front on both sides. We will have to win that battle and get off their blocks. They block really well so we have to get off those blocks to slow them down. "They also get through blocks really well so we'll have to hold our blocks a little better this time."

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Senator Talal Chaudhry on Saturday said that the PML-N, as a major stakeholder in the coalition government, is dedicated to strengthening its partnership with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Dec, 2024) League-Nawaz ( ) senior leader Senator on Saturday said that the , as a major stakeholder in the coalition , is dedicated to strengthening its partnership with the People’s Party ( ).
