Ohio State AD: Ryan Day ‘absolutely’ back in 2025
Ontario to restrict electricity exports to US and bar American-made alcohol if Trump tariffs applied
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was limited with the right shoulder injury that sidelined him last week and there is growing concern about the long-term status of left tackle Trent Williams. Wednesday's practice was not the start to the NFL workweek head coach Kyle Shanahan had hoped after Purdy was unable to bounce back from a shoulder injury in Week 11. Brandon Allen started at Green Bay and the 49ers (5-6) lost 38-10 with the backup-turned-starter committing three turnovers. Williams was reportedly spotted in the locker room with a knee scooter and is experiencing pain walking. He played through an ankle injury against the Seattle Seahawks Nov. 17. Defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving the 49ers to spend the holiday plotting to play the Buffalo Bills (9-2) without the three Pro Bowlers again. "I don't know anyone who gets Thanksgiving off unless maybe you have a Monday night game. You just start a lot earlier and get the players out," Shanahan said. "We cram everything in so the players get out, tries to be home with the family by 5. I usually get home by 7 and they're all mad at me, then get back to red-zone (installation)." The 49ers are in danger of a three-game losing streak for the first time since Oct. 2021. Injuries have been a common thread since September when running back Christian McCaffrey was a surprise scratch with an Achilles injury for the opener. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) is out for the season at a position dinged from top to bottom. Star linebacker Fred Warner also is ailing and said Wednesday that he fractured a bone in his ankle on Sept. 29 against the New England Patriots. The game against the Bills will mark his eighth straight game playing with the injury. "It's something I deal with every game," Warner said. "I get on that table before every game and get it shot up every single game just to be able to roll. But it's not an excuse. It's just what it is. That's the NFL. You're not going to be healthy. You've got to go out there, you've got to find ways to execute, to play at a high level and to win every single week." Shanahan wasn't interested in injury talk. He said the 49ers have not played well in the past two weeks, and puts part of his focus on getting more out of the running game with snow in the forecast on Sunday night. He's not in agreement with pundits who doubt McCaffrey's ability early into his return from injured reserve, with a per-carry average of 3.5 yards compared to 5.4 in 2023. "The speculation on Christian is a little unfair to him," Shanahan said. "Christian is playing very well. He's playing his ass off. To think a guy who misses the entire offseason is going to come back and be the exact same the day he comes back would be unfair to any player in the world." San Francisco opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl in February. His return date is unclear. --Field Level MediaThe standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Trump's picks for key positions in his second administration
When the draw for the new-look Champions League first stage was made back in August, attention was immediately drawn to a genuine glamour clash. And then one player in particular. Liverpool entertaining Real Madrid – a re-run of three previous European Cup finals – meant there was every chance discussion around the game would be dominated by Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose future remains shrouded in mystery with no resolution over contract talks and the Spaniards sniffing around a free transfer at the end of the season. But the hamstring injury suffered more than a fortnight ago Aston Villa meant Alexander-Arnold was consigned to warming the bench here. Liverpool player ratings as Conor Bradley and seven others brilliant as Real Madrid dismantled Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate injury worries for Liverpool immediately after Real Madrid victory And instead it was his replacement who became the talk of Anfield as Conor Bradley, tasked with marking Kylian Mbappe, provided further evidence he can realise Arne Slot’s claim of becoming a long-term fixture in the Liverpool team. Much will be made of the bone-crunching challenge on a breaking Mbappe in the first half that prompted a huge roar from the home crowd and lit the blue touchpaper on the latest in a long line of famous European nights at the stadium. Indeed, it evoked memories of James Milner leaving Neymar on his backside when Paris Saint-Germain, for whom Mbappe scored, were beaten at Anfield six years ago. But it wasn’t an isolated incident, Bradley bullying his more illustrious opponent to such an extent Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti eventually moved Mbappe into a central area in the second half given the France international's lack of effectiveness on the left. Bradley, though, was only just getting started. And after the interval he felt comfortable leaving Mbappe for Ibrahima Konate to deal with and set about helping Liverpool gain the opener their increasing superiority deserved, regularly popping up in the central striking role. It was from there the defender – who scored for Northern Ireland during the international break – popped up unmarked to force a brilliant save from Thibaut Courtois from Alexis Mac Allister’s cross, moments before his return pass found the Argentina international for the all-important opener. The negative, of course, was the sight of Bradley pulling up holding his hamstring after one typically barnstorming run during the closing stages. Liverpool will hope any absence is short although Alexander-Arnold is back available. The chants of “One Conor Bradley” that boomed around Anfield on several occasions underlined the point. Certainly, Mbappe and Real Madrid will know there’s more than one impressive right-back in this Liverpool squad.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Only the Cleveland Browns. Only a team beset by perpetual problems at quarterback for the better part of two decades can get a record-setting 497-yard, four-touchdown, jaw-dropping, where-did-that-come-from performance on Monday night from Jameis Winston — and still lose. History wrapped in misery. Only the Browns. Winston spoiled a high-level performance in Denver's thin air by throwing a pair of pick-sixes — the second with 1:48 remaining — as the Broncos rode big plays to a 41-32 win over the Browns (3-9), who have to wonder what their disappointing season might look like if Deshaun Watson had been benched before getting hurt. The loss ended any illusions the Browns had of making a late playoff push like they did a year ago. It also clinched the team's 22nd losing season since its expansion rebirth in 1999. In his fifth start this season, Winston provided further evidence that the Browns made a major mistake by not switching QBs long before Watson ruptured his Achilles tendon on Oct. 20 against Cincinnati. Cleveland's offense has come alive behind Winston, who has thrown for over 300 yards three times, something Watson didn't do in 19 starts over his three suspension-shortened, injury-riddled seasons with the Browns. While there were some positives, Winston's turnovers were too costly. "You’re not going to play perfect at the quarterback position. He knows that," coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday on a Zoom call. “I know that ultimately he wants to do anything in his power to help this team win and that’s going to be taking care of the ball. But he also had moments there where he was moving that offense and did a nice job.” Winston may not be the long-term answer for the Browns, but he's showing he can at least give them a viable option for 2025 while the club sorts through the tangled Watson situation, which continues to have a stranglehold on the franchise. In all likelihood, and assuming he's fully recovered, Watson will be back next season in some capacity with the Browns, who are still on the hook to pay him $92 million — of his fully guaranteed $230 million contract — over the next two seasons. Releasing Watson would have damaging salary-cap implications, and while that would be a bitter financial pill for owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam to swallow, it could the Browns' safest and easiest exit strategy. And if they needed any proof that such a strategy can work, the Browns only had to look across the field at the Broncos, who got out from under QB Russell Wilson's monster contract by cutting him, taking the financial hit and drafting Bo Nix. After some common early growing pains, Nix has settled in and the rookie has the Broncos in the mix for a postseason berth. It wasn't long ago that the Browns thought their quarterback concerns were behind them. Instead, they lie ahead. Stefanski's decision to hand over the play-calling duties to first-year coordinator Ken Dorsey has been a positive. While the move hasn't led directly to many wins, the Browns have moved the ball much more effectively and scored at least 20 points in three of five games since the switch after not scoring 20 in their first eight. Story continues below video An issue all season, Cleveland's defense was again gashed for long plays and TDs, including a 93-yard scoring pass in the third quarter. The Browns have allowed 48 plays of 20-plus yards and 12 of at least 40 yards. WR Jerry Jeudy. His return to Denver was a personal and professional triumph — except on the scoreboard. Vowing revenge on the Broncos, who traded him to the Browns in March, Jeudy had the best game of his career, catching nine passes for 235 yards and a TD. Since Winston took over as Cleveland's starter, Jeudy leads the league with 614 yards receiving. Jeudy just might be the No. 1 receiver the Browns have needed following Amari Cooper's trade. Jordan Hicks gets an honorable mention after recording 12 tackles. K Dustin Hopkins. He missed a 47-yard field goal to end Cleveland's first drive, setting the tone for a night of missed opportunities. After making 33 of 36 field goal tries in his first season with the Browns, Hopkins is just 16 of 23, with his inaccuracy raising questions why the team signed him to a three-year, $15.9 million contract in July. Stefanski had no updates from the game. ... LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah remains sidelined with a neck injury suffered on Nov. 2. Stefanski ruled him out again for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. 552 — Yards of total offense for the Browns, just 10 shy of the single-game franchise record set in 1989. A short turnaround before visiting the Steelers (9-3), who will be looking to avenge their 24-19 loss in Cleveland on Nov. 21. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflAhead of Ohio State's appearance in the College Football Playoff, head coach Ryan Day received a vote of confidence from his athletic director despite the Buckeyes' latest loss to Michigan. Ohio State AD Ross Bjork appeared on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus on Thursday, where a radio host asked him whether Day would be the Buckeyes' coach at the start of next season regardless of how the playoffs shake out. "Absolutely," said Bjork, who came to Ohio State from the same role at Texas A&M in July. "Coach Day and I have just hit it off so well. I've been really, really impressed. Every single time I've talked to him, I've learned something. He's innovative. He recruits at the highest level. He's got a great staff. There's always tweaks. There was tweaks after last year, right? You're always going to tweak things. You're always going to make adjustments. You're always going to make improvements." Bjork continued by addressing the "championship or bust" attitude held by some of the fanbase. "This whole mentality about -- and look, we live it, and we sign up for it -- but if you get fixated on the end result and not have the process fully baked every time, you're going to lose," Bjork said. "The mindset's going to lose because you're only fixated on one thing. And so what we have to do is this whole ‘championship or bust' mentality, you want that as the goal, but it has to be about the process. "To me, we've got to maybe change some conversations a little bit. I think we need to maybe just approach things a little bit differently." Day is 66-10 as Ohio State's coach and led the Buckeyes to one national championship game appearance, a 52-24 loss to Alabama to cap the 2020 season. Ohio State went 10-2 in the regular season but missed out on a place in the Big Ten championship game when rival Michigan defeated the Buckeyes 13-10 on Nov. 30. It was Michigan's fourth straight win in The Game, and Day is now 1-4 as a head coach against the Wolverines. At the time, Bjork released a statement of support for Day, and he doubled down during Thursday's radio hit. "He's great to work with. He totally gets it. He loves being a Buckeye, and so we're going to support him at the highest level throughout," Bjork said. "But here's the thing too, and the reason why we needed to say something after that game is we're still breathing. They're still alive. The season's not over. The book is not closed, right? And so we've got to have confidence. I mean, Ohio State should be confident every single day. We're Ohio State. "But we also have to make sure we stay to our values and we stick to what we believe in. And so to me, it's the process as much as it is about the end result." --Field Level Media

Rosen Law Firm Encourages Joint Stock Company Kaspi.kz Investors to Inquire About Securities Class Action Investigation - KSPIOpenAI has finally opened its much-hyped Sora video generator to the public — and its work isn't exactly blowing us away. One particular weakpoint: Sora's attempts to generate videos of gymnasts result in a horrorshow of whirling and morphing limbs that would be more at place among David Cronenberg 's body horror films than the Olympics. As venture capitalist Deedy Das quipped in a thread showing the bizarre creations that "gymnastics is still very much the Turing test for AI video." As cool as the new Sora is, gymnastics is still very much the Turing test for AI video. 1/4 pic.twitter.com/X78dNzusNU — Deedy (@deedydas) December 10, 2024 Das went on to post three more uncanny Sora-generated gymnastics videos, and there's more where that came from. Echoing the venture capitalist, the account associated with the AI for Humans podcast joked that "gymnastics are the funniest way to break [S]ora." Indeed, in a video made with the prompt "gymnast flips five times very fast then lands in a bucket of mustard," the same limb confusion as the previous videos is yet again on display — but this time, a waterfall of what looks like yellow paint is attached to the "feet" of the artificial gymnast, making the whole thing look all the slimier. gymnastics are the funniest way to break sora prompt: gymnast flips five times very fast then lands in a bucket of mustard pic.twitter.com/xLEIlAbEhj — AI For Humans Show (@AIForHumansShow) December 10, 2024 That same account also had Sora make a video of a Raygun-esque breakdancer that had a similarly creepy limb confusion effect. sora has its own interpretation of Raygun's breakdance from the Paris Olympics prompt: famous Australian woman breakdances at the Paris Olympics pic.twitter.com/IefygMDCpT — AI For Humans Show (@AIForHumansShow) December 11, 2024 Even in videos with less movement, where Sora often does significantly better , it struggles with spelling words correctly — a basic imagine generator issue that's emerged as a tell for AI images. In one post, a self-described "politically homeless bitch" claims that the quality of Sora's videos is " mind-bending " — without pointing out that in the last of the four videos of a woman in fascist military uniform, the mask she's wearing misspells "obey" as "oeybey." In an even more egregious example, vlogger Marquees Brownlee said that when he got early access to Sora, it kept outputting "garbled" text despite the often-photorealistic quality of its videos. " How can [Sora] create a photorealistic human but can't spell basic words ?" another user observed in a post screenshotting Brownlee's video. crying laughing at the on screen graphics. How can SORA create a photorealistic human but can't spell basic words? https://t.co/xo6JEMu7l9 pic.twitter.com/spQwDnieFf — A.A. Ron (@AaronTheH) December 9, 2024 While it certainly has its impressive aspects, Sora by and large seems to be way less sophisticated than its boosters would have had you believe before it launched publicly — a common theme among AI hypebeasts.
