(The Center Square) – Ohio House Democrats want Gov. Mike DeWine to veto several parts of bills passed during a flurry of activity as the two-year General Session came to a close last week. The requests came in a letter to DeWine and included the controversial House Bill 8, also known as the Parents Bill of Rights. That bill, among other things, includes a provision that requires school personnel to notify parents if a student confides to be gay or has gender identity concerns. It also requires school districts to allow religious release time during the school day. “House Bill 8 pushes Ohio’s teachers and counselors to out students questioning their identity, even when this information may endanger the safety and wellbeing of the child at home. This law will not help our families but will drive children further into isolation, drastically harming their personal safety and mental health,” House Democrats said in a statement. “The addition to the bill requiring districts to have religious relief time during the school day interferes with the ability of communities to build the education best for their children.” The letter also asks for two line-item vetoes in House Bill 315, a 441-page bill introduced on the morning of the last day of the session. Part of that bill prohibits any political subdivision, public officials or state agency from enforcing any guideline, mandate, recommendation or rule from the World Health Organizations. “This is a broad declaration in law against following evidence-based and trusted public health guidelines. It could quickly chill the ability of health districts and public officials to keep our communities healthy because recommended policy happens to align with World Health Organization positions,” the letter reads. “To help maintain the health of Ohioans and allow local officials the ability to do what is best for the health of our communities, please veto this provision.” Another part of the bill allows police departments to charge a fee for public documents relating to body camera footage in an investigation into an officer’s use of deadly force. “Public records inherently belong to the public; law enforcement videos are a key mechanism for transparency and increasing public trust. The neighborhoods that most commonly experience police shootings and use of force will be most impacted by this policy change and cost barrier. Residents, grassroots organizations, and families of those involved should not have to foot the bill for critical transparency,” the letter reads.payment password in phlboss 。

Colorado star cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter made more history for Colorado on Saturday against Kansas. Hunter, the odds-on favorite for this year's Heisman Trophy, has become just the second player in college football with 10 receiving touchdowns and multiple defensive interceptions in the same season since at least 1980. More history for Travis Hunter!!️ He becomes just the second player with 10 receiving TDs and multiple defensive INTs in the same season since at least 1980. pic.twitter.com/WIzRemYBrl Hunter is having a special season on offense and defense. He came into Saturday's game with 74 receptions for 911 yards and nine touchdowns as a receiver and 23 total tackles, eight passes defended, and three interceptions on defense. He's added to his offensive totals with six receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's game against Kansas. He's a top-tier talent and there's a reason why he's projected to go top five in the 2025 NFL Draft. College GameDay's Desmond Howard even said during College GameDay that Hunter is in "pole position" to win the Heisman. "Travis Hunter is in the pole position when it comes to Heisman candidates. I mean, you know, he’s a very unique talent. He’s a unicorn. He’s doing a lot of things that we haven’t seen before," Howard said . Icon Sportswire/Getty Images He may need to make even more plays during Saturday's game because right now, Kansas is beating Colorado by nine, 30-21. Kansas has a big opportunity to play spoiler to Colorado's Big 12 title hopes. If Colorado loses this game, it will suffer a brutal blow for that conference title. Colorado has to win out to get to the Big 12 Championship Game. The Buffaloes came into this game with an 8-2 record and have already doubled the amount of wins that they finished with last year. Deion Sanders has done a tremendous job with them this year. You can watch the rest of this game on FOX.

Local media reported that the shooting late Monday occurred in the southeastern parish of St. Andrew, where the capital of Kinston is located. No one has been arrested. It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the shooting. Jamaica has seen a recent increase in mass shootings, including one where five men were killed at a soccer game in late October in a neighborhood that once struggled with gang violence. While Jamaica has one of the world’s highest homicide rates among countries with reliable statistics, 53.3 per 100,000 people, killings are down so far this year compared with last year. As of Nov. 23, 1,039 people were reported killed, down from 1,262 reported last year, according to police statistics. A record 1,683 homicides were reported in 2009 on the island of 2.8 million people. Much of the violence in Jamaica and elsewhere in the Caribbean is blamed on guns illegally smuggled from the United States.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Saturday the Playing XI for the first T20I match against Zimbabwe scheduled to be played tomorrow at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. The three-match series will be played from December 1 (Sunday) to December 5 (Thursday). Led by Salman Ali Agha, the playing XI features young and strong players including Saim Ayub, Omair Bin Yousuf, Usman Khan, Tayyab Tahir, Muhammad Irfan Khan and Jahandad Khan. The bowling side features Muhammad Abbas Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed and Sufyan Moqim. Earlier, skipper Agha said that the team’s first priority is to win the series. “We won the one-day series, now our target is to win the T20I series,” he stressed. “We have to give young players maximum opportunity in this series,” said the captain while speaking during a press conference in Bulawayo today. Agha said that there will be new faces in the T20I series, adding that the team will maintain its momentum in the shortest format of the game. “We will try to play aggressively.” The captain said that the T20I squad has good bowlers. He added that he wants the youngsters to play and enjoy the game, stressing that the young players have performed well in the domestic cricket and they should be given a chance. Talking about the opponents, Agha said Zimbabwe is a good team with match winners, but the team will try to control them. “The Zimbabwean team has proven to be tough on home ground,” he added. On Thursday, the Men in Green inflicted a 99 runs defeat on Zimbabwe in the third One Day International to win the series by 2-1. Kamran Ghulam’s maiden century, followed by a combined bowling effort, steered Pakistan to a resounding victory over Zimbabwe in the ODI series decider.

KUWAIT: Minister of Commerce and Industry Khalifa Al-Ajeel and his Omani counterpart, Qais Al-Yousef, emphasized the importance of strengthening economic and trade relations between the two countries, particularly in areas that promote sustainable development. In his speech at the launch of the Kuwaiti-Omani Economic Forum and Exhibition in Kuwait on Monday, Minister Al-Ajeel stated: “We are keen to ensure that the efforts of the ministry and government entities align with the noble desire to enhance cooperation and trade exchange within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).” Following the opening of the forum, an agreement was signed between Omani company “Mawane” and Kuwait’s “Public Services Company” to enhance cooperation in several fields, strengthening economic ties and expanding the scope of collaboration between the private sectors of both nations. During the forum, the ministers also inaugurated an accompanying exhibition featuring 70 small and medium-sized enterprises, with 50 Omani companies showcasing sectors such as food, handicrafts, and technology. The forum includes three main discussion sessions focusing on topics such as manufacturing industries, supply chain integration, real estate development, luxury hotels, and food security. Additionally, bilateral meetings between businesspeople and companies from both countries are being organized to establish strategic partnerships and achieve integration in line with the goals of Oman Vision 2040 and Kuwait Vision 2035. Al-Ajeel highlighted the directives from the leadership to unify policies, facilitate trade and investment flows, support local industries, and promote innovation and entrepreneurship across GCC countries. He further remarked that the forum was a manifestation of these directives, aiming to achieve prosperity and advancement for the Gulf region. He also reflected on the long-standing and rooted relations between Kuwait and Oman, particularly during the prosperous maritime trade period. “Oman has been a key stop for Kuwaiti ships heading to the Indian subcontinent and beyond, marking the beginning of a historical trade relationship that continues today,” he said. The minister recalled the strong ties between the two nations, especially during the 1990 Gulf War, when Oman opened its doors and hearts to Kuwaitis, providing refuge and solidarity. Al-Ajeel also noted that with the establishment of the GCC in 1981 and the signing of the unified economic agreement, the economic ties between Kuwait and Oman have been formalized and continue to grow. In his address, Oman’s Minister of Commerce and Industry referred to Kuwait as a “strategic partner” and expressed the commitment to further strengthen economic relations under the guidance of both countries’ leadership. He emphasized the importance of cooperation in priority sectors that will create job opportunities and enhance sustainable development for both nations. Al-Yousef also highlighted the forum’s focus on boosting trade and investment, exploring opportunities in the industrial, tourism, logistics, and food security sectors. “We aim to foster business partnerships and increase trade exchange between our countries, aligning with Oman’s Vision 2040 and Kuwait’s Vision 2035,” he said. The minister also mentioned the development of joint investment projects, including the Duqm refinery and petrochemical industries, which represent the largest shared investment project between Oman and Kuwait. He expressed hope for expanding collaboration in line with the leadership’s aspirations. — KUNAFacebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save It’s doubtful anybody could love the Northern Lights more than Sara Housseal. The self-described metalhead and tattoo junkie from Bellevue posts her own aurora photos on X/Twitter, TikTok , Bluesky and Facebook , along with homemade videos and colorful slides packed with information about solar phenomena. Oh, and for her day job, she warns the Pentagon when the sun might erupt and fry the solar panels on their spy satellites. Housseal, 29, is a forecaster for the 2nd Weather Squadron’s Space Weather Flight, an Offutt Air Force Base military unit that monitors the sun around the clock for the U.S. armed forces.

Dylan Shaver are part of 2nd Weather Squadron’s Space Weather Flight at Offutt Air Force Base, which provides 24/7 forecasts of solar phenomena for U.S. military units worldwide. The sun frequently spits out brief bursts of radiation called solar flares and longer blasts of plasma and radiation called coronal mass ejections. These can cause disruptions to radio GPS and GPS and interrupt power to satellites — critical tools for military operations around the world. These phenomena occur in 11-year cycles during which the sun is alternately active and quiet. That occurs because the sun rotates faster at its equator than at its poles, creating a constant tension like the stretching of a giant, super-heated rubber band. “You have this period when it’s sort of twisting,” said Capt. Dylan Shaver, 29, commander of the Space Weather Flight. “Then it snaps to a more stable configuration.” That’s what produces those massive flares and ejections, explosions many times the size of the Earth. This year, we are nearing peak activity in one of those cycles. Old Sol is exceptionally busy. A solar flare erupts from the sun on May 10. The Space Weather Flight at Offutt Air Force Base monitors solar phenomena for the U.S. military. “It can be super active, then the sun takes a nap, and then it can get crazy again,” said Housseal, one of 11 forecasters in a unit with 30 to 35 military and civilian personnel. “We’re in that period of maximum right now.” This year’s solar peak has brought ample attention to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, known widely by its acronym, SWPC (pronounced “Swipsy”), which publishes widely viewed aurora forecasts. The Space Weather Flight is SWPC’s larger and lesser-known military cousin. The Air Force has monitored solar activity since the 1950s. Much of its work is classified — so secret that Housseal and Shaver could not meet a reporter or be photographed inside their offices at Offutt. Still, the unit’s forecasters work closely with SWPC, to compare notes and align their messages. “Their job is to tell you what’s going to happen,” Shaver said. “We tell everyone in the Department of Defense what that means for them.” Space storms, obviously, are as old — or older — than the Earth itself. Space Weather forecaster Sara Housseal created this explanation of solar flares for her followers on social media. But for millennia, humans on the planet experienced nothing but the periodic explosions of color, mostly in polar regions, that came to be called aurora. The colors result from solar plasma and particles in the form of solar wind charging the Earth’s magnetic field, producing dynamic curtains, rays and flickers of brilliant light. Then in August 1859, the aurora borealis appeared in unfamiliar places like Havana, Panama, Rome and New York, according to an article last February in the New Yorker magazine called “What a Major Solar Storm Could Do To Our Planet.” At the same time, telegraph systems around the world started sending what one newspaper described as “fantastical and unreadable messages.” Many shut down completely. Some caught fire. The storm came to be known as “the Carrington Event,” named for a British astronomer who observed a solar flare at the same time while studying sunspots and linked the two phenomena. Similar events have been recorded in the decades since. A large solar storm in 1921 burned out fuses and caused fires at telephone and telegraph stations. Another in 1967 jammed radar signals at U.S. ballistic-missile early warning stations in the Arctic, which U.S. military authorities briefly feared might be a precursor to a Soviet nuclear attack. A third, in 1989, caused widespread power disruptions in the Canadian province of Quebec. “Every single transformer blew up. There was a huge blackout until they could get everything fixed,” Shaver said. The Carrington Event remains the most severe geomagnetic storm in recorded history. In the decades since, the world’s dependence on electricity and electronic devices has increased exponentially. That’s certainly true for the U.S. military, with its global reach and heavy reliance on satellites for a vast array of operations — including Offutt-based U.S. Strategic Command’s round-the-clock vigilance for nuclear attack. “We really don’t know how it would affect our technology now,” Shaver said. “We have way more satellites than we did during our last solar max.” Even under normal conditions, satellites orbiting outside the protection of Earth’s atmosphere are subject to constant bombardment from radiation: high-energy solar particles as well as cosmic rays from beyond our solar system. They can cause software upsets, memory errors (called bit flips) and runaway short circuits. “The space environment is just hostile all the time,” Housseal said. Space Weather forecaster Sara Housseal of Bellevue produced this explanation of the sun’s coronal mass ejections, which produce aurora displays in the polar regions by disrupting Earth’s magnetic fields. At the same time, the military and its contractors are getting better at protecting their satellites, using lightweight shields of metal, plastic and composite as well as hardening electronic parts to withstand radiation. “We do a much better job now. We take steps to mitigate,” Shaver said. “Satellites have just gotten hardier over the last couple of decades.” The Space Weather Flight is one small slice of the Air Force’s 557th Weather Wing — also headquartered at Offutt — which is tasked with meteorological forecasts for U.S. military units in every corner of the world. Shaver, Housseal and their team look at the sun and do the same. They have help from five space weather detachments, in Australia, Italy, Hawaii, Massachusetts and New Mexico. “We create weather products for other weather people to use,” Shaver said. “And we alert satellite operators that the environment is going to get a little more hostile.” Housseal and Shaver are quite conversant in the clouds and blizzards and storms of atmospheric weather, too. Both earned bachelor’s degrees in meteorology or atmospheric science. Housseal was hired as a civilian forecaster by the Space Weather Flight in 2020 and is now working on a master’s in applied physics. Shaver earned his graduate degree in solar and space physics after joining the Air Force and was assigned to Offutt in 2023. “I’ve always been sort of a space nerd,” he said. “When I found out (about space weather forecasters), I said, ‘That’s what I’m going to be someday.’” This year’s “solar max” has kept them busy, and it’s likely to stay that way for a while. The solar cycle tends to build to a peak quickly, and taper off more slowly. “Things have been heightened for the past two-ish years,” she said. “Some of the biggest events are in the decline phase.” Her work involves watching for another disruption like the Carrington Event. It also means watching out for bright colors dancing in the sky. “Some people come to work and wish that the sun does nothing,” Housseal said. “Personally, I love never knowing what each day is going to look like.” sliewer@owh.com ; twitter.com/Steve Liewer Get the daily forecast and severe weather alerts in your inbox!

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona lost at home for the first time this season when the Liga leader was stunned by Las Palmas 2-1 on Saturday. Sandro Ramirez and Fábio Silva scored for the Canary Islands club on either side of Raphinha’s equalizer to give Las Palmas its first win at Barcelona in more than 50 years. Barcelona played superbly in the first three months under new coach Hansi Flick and was flying high after convincing victories over Real Madrid in the domestic competition and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. It had won all eight of its home games. But it has gone three rounds of La Liga without a win. Before Las Palmas, it fell at Real Sociedad 1-0 and drew at Celta Vigo 2-2 after squandering a two-goal lead in the final minutes. The dropped points mean Madrid, despite its own troubles , especially in the Champions League, can move ahead of Barcelona in La Liga. It trails Barcelona by four points with two games in hand. “I don’t care about scoring, I care about winning,” Raphinha said after his standout performance was unable to end Barcelona's slump. “We have to take a hard look at what we are doing wrong. We have slipped in our form and are letting games get away form us. We have our next game on Tuesday (at Mallorca), and we need to turn this around so we can win the league.” Atletico Madrid was only two points behind Barcelona in second place — and with the same number of games played — after Antoine Griezmann scored a gem of a goal in a 5-0 demolition of last-placed Valladolid. Las Palmas savored its first victory at Barcelona since the 1971-72 season and just its third victory at the Catalan club overall. The other visits by the modest side that wears all yellow uniforms to Barcelona have ended in 34 defeats and three draws. “We are thrilled because we have made history,” Sandro said. “When you start the season you think that these games are usually going to end in wins for the bigger side, but if there is one thing we believe in is our capacity to work hard all week to get results like this.” Barcelona's Lamine Yamal returned from a right ankle injury that sidelined him for three weeks. Yamal appeared as a halftime substitute and Jasper Cillessen saved his best shot. The Las Palmas goalkeeper also palmed a Raphinha free kick over his bar in the final minutes. Sandro, a former Barcelona youth player, capped a fine five-pass buildup by Las Palmas from its own box as it masterfully undid Barcelona’s high pressure in the 49th minute. Raphinha had already hit the crossbar in the first half before he equalized in the 61st. The Brazil forward took a short pass from Pedri just outside the area, skirted across the edge and drilled a shot between two defenders. But Barcelona was caught pushing forward for a second goal when Silva controlled a ball from Javi Muñoz and sent in a shot bouncing past Iñaki Peña in the 67th. The unexpected loss dampened Barcelona’s celebration of its 125th anniversary, which included the debut of its new mascot “Cat,” a large, yellow feline wearing its team kit. Barcelona lost left back Alejandro Balde early in the game when he couldn’t continue after he crashed into Sandro at full speed. Balde appeared to hurt his upper chest or neck area when he ran into Sandro’s shoulder. He was carried off on a stretcher and replaced by Gerard Martín. Griezmann scored one of the goals of the season when the forward exchanged a quick one-two with Julián Alvarez and used a sleek touch of the inside of his boot to roll the ball with him as he spun before dinking it over the Valladolid goalkeeper. That was the visitor's fourth goal. Shortly after, Valladolid fans stood up and applauded when Griezmann was substituted. “That is what every players wants, to make people enjoy what we do. So I appreciate their warmth,” Griezmann said. Atletico also got goals from Alvarez, Clement Lenglet, Rodrigo de Paul, and Alexander Sorloth. Espanyol beat Celta 3-1 to end a streak of four losses in the league and relieve pressure on coach Manolo González. Alaves also drew with Leganes 1-1 at home.

KyKy Tandy scored a season-high 21 points that included a key 3-pointer in a late second-half surge as Florida Atlantic roared back to beat Oklahoma State 86-78 on Thursday in the opening round of the Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C. Florida Atlantic (4-2) advances to play Drake in the semifinal round on Friday while the Cowboys square off against Miami in the consolation semifinal contest, also Friday. Oklahoma State led by as many as 10 points in the first half before securing a five-point advantage at halftime. The Owls surged back and moved in front with four and a half minutes to play. It was part of an 11-1 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Tandy that made it 75-68 with 2:41 remaining. Ken Evans added 14 points for Florida Atlantic, with Leland Walker hitting for 13 and Tre Carroll scoring 11. The Owls went 35-of-49 from the free throw line as the teams combined for 56 fouls in the game, 33 by Oklahoma State. Khalil Brantley led Oklahoma State (3-1) with 16 points while Robert Jennings added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Cowboys, who hit one field goal over a 10-minute stretch of the second half while having three players foul out. The Owls were up by as many as seven points in the early minutes and by 13-10 after a layup by Carroll at the 11:32 mark of the first half. Oklahoma State leapfrogged to the front on Abou Ousmane's layup off a Brantley steal, fell behind again on a 3-pointer by Evans and then responded on a 3-pointer by Jennings to take a 17-16 lead. From there, the Cowboys stoked their advantage to double digits when Jamyron Keller canned a shot from beyond the arc with five minutes to play in the half. Florida Atlantic got a layup and a monster dunk from Matas Vokietaitis and a pair of free throws from Walker in a 6-2 run to end the half to pull within 39-34 at the break. Jennings and Ousmane tallied seven points apiece for Oklahoma State over the first 20 minutes, as the Cowboys led despite shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor in the half. Carroll and Vokietaitis scored seven points apiece to pace the Owls, who committed 11 turnovers that translated to seven points for Oklahoma State before halftime. --Field Level Media
