Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ:HELE) Shares Sold by Mutual of America Capital Management LLCUCF’s postseason hopes end with loss at West VirginiaWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday he intends to nominate real estate developer Charles Kushner , father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France. Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, calling Charles Kushner “a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker." Kushner is the founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate firm. Jared Kushner is a former White House senior adviser to Trump who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. The elder Kushner was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 after pleading guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Prosecutors alleged that after Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was cooperating with federal authorities in an investigation, he hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man’s wife, prosecutors said. Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison — the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, had sought. Christie has blamed Jared Kushner for his firing from Trump’s transition team in 2016, and has called Charles Kushner’s offenses “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was U.S. attorney.” Trump and the elder Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009.

A confrontation with a man inside a bank led to the assault of two London police officers in the north end of the city on Tuesday. That afternoon at 4:30, police responded to reports of a man that was causing a disturbance in the establishment in the 1900-block of Hyde Park Road. Police responded to the business, and upon their arrival the man was asked to leave. He then threw an object in the direction of two police officers. Police say they then attempted to place the man under arrest, and he resisted – grabbing at their equipment and assaulting them. Additional officers responded to assist, and the man was arrested – when searched, he was found to have ID on him that didn’t belong to him. The 38-year-old man now faces two charges of assaulting and disarming a peace officer, two charges of assault of a peace officer with a weapon, resisting arrest, and identity theft.

The Memphis Grizzlies are learning the benefits of giving this season. When Memphis hosts the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, the Grizzlies will be seeking their sixth consecutive win and their 10th in their past 13 games. Their November success has been the result of an unselfish, team-oriented approach. The Grizzlies enter Saturday leading the NBA with 30.4 assists per game. Memphis dished out 36 assists on 47 made baskets in Friday's 120-109 home victory over New Orleans. "The ball movement (was) great," Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. "I think we had nine or 10 guys with two or more assists -- or 10 out of 11 guys (with) an assist, which is great." Ja Morant, who missed Wednesday's home win against Detroit due to a bruised knee, led the Grizzlies with seven assists against New Orleans, and Marcus Smart had six off the bench. Despite being limited to 10 games this season, Morant leads the team with 9.1 assists per game, followed by Scotty Pippen Jr. (5.7) and Smart (4.1). "When the ball's moving, it's about getting everyone involved," Pippen said. "It makes it a lot of fun to play with everyone. So, I feel like that's (when we are) the most dangerous, when everyone's touching the ball and everyone feels aggressive." Friday's win marked Memphis' first NBA Cup victory in the second year of the event. The Grizzlies had lost their first seven games of NBA Cup group play. As for Indiana, the Pacers were eliminated from contention for the NBA Cup knockout round with their 130-106 home loss Friday to Detroit. Indiana is 0-3 in Cup play. The Pacers had won three straight games -- all at home -- before being overpowered by the Pistons. Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton led Indiana with 21 and 19 points, respectively. While the Pacers have struggled during the first two months of the season, Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said several of his younger players have shown signs of contributing at a significant level, including second-year forward Jarace Walker. Walker, 21, finished with 10 points and notched five of the team's nine steals off the bench on Friday. Additionally, third-year guard Bennedict Mathurin, 22, has excelled in a starting role and is averaging 17.7 points per game, while Quenton Jackson, 26, has averaged 10.3 points in his past three games. "(Walker) went in there (Friday against Detroit) and decisively stepped into shot and he was physical," Carlisle said. "Right now is a time for guys like Jarace and Q (Jackson) and Ben (Mathurin) to experience what it's like to have this kind of responsibility and respond as best they can." Mathurin is second on the team in scoring behind Siakam (19.9 points per game), while Haliburton's 16.6 scoring average ranks third. Sunday's game is the first of two regular-season meetings between the teams. Indiana and Memphis split last season's two meetings, with each squad winning at home. --Field Level MediaNEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump used his image as a successful New York businessman to become a celebrity, a reality television star and eventually the president. Now he will get to revel in one of the most visible symbols of success in the city when he rings the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday as he's also named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. Trump is expected to be on Wall Street to mark the ceremonial start of the day's trading, according to four people with knowledge of his plans. He will also be announced Thursday as Time's 2024 Person of the Year , according to a person familiar with the selection. The people who confirmed the stock exchange appearance and Time award were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. It will be a notable moment of twin recognitions for Trump, a born-and-bred New Yorker who at times has treated the stock market as a measure of public approval and has long-prized signifiers of his success in New York's business world and his appearances on the covers of magazines — especially Time. Trump was named the magazine's Person of the Year in 2016, when he was first elected to the White House. He had already been listed as a finalist for this year's award alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, X owner Elon Musk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kate, the Princess of Wales. Time declined to confirm the selection ahead of Thursday morning's announcement. “Time does not comment on its annual choice for Person of the Year prior to publication,” a spokesperson for the magazine said Wednesday. The ringing of the bell is a powerful symbol of U.S. capitalism — and a good New York photo opportunity at that. Despite his decades as a New York businessman, Trump has never done it before. It was unclear whether Trump, a Republican, would meet with New York's embattled mayor, Democrat Eric Adams , who has warmed to Trump and has not ruled out changing his political party. Adams has been charged with federal corruption crimes and accused of selling influence to foreign nationals; he has denied wrongdoing. Trump himself was once a symbol of New York, but he gave up living full-time in his namesake Trump Tower in Manhattan and moved to Florida after leaving the White House. CNN first reported Wednesday Trump’s visit to the stock exchange and Politico reported that Trump was expected to be unveiled as Time's Person of the Year. The stock exchange regularly invites celebrities and business leaders to participate in the ceremonial opening and closing of trading. During Trump’s first term, his wife, Melania Trump, rang the bell to promote her “Be Best” initiative on children’s well-being. Last year, Time CEO Jessica Sibley rang the opening bell to unveil the magazine's 2023 Person of the Year: Taylor Swift . After the Nov. 5 election, the S&P 500 rallied 2.5% for its best day in nearly two years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1,508 points, or 3.6%, while the Nasdaq composite jumped 3%. All three indexes topped records they had set in recent weeks. The U.S. stock market has historically tended to rise regardless of which party wins the White House, with Democrats scoring bigger average gains since 1945. But Republican control could mean big shifts in the winning and losing industries underneath the surface, and investors are adding to bets built earlier on what the higher tariffs, lower tax rates and lighter regulation that Trump favors will mean. Trump has long courted the business community based on his own status as a wealthy real estate developer who gained additional fame as the star of the TV show “The Apprentice” in which competitors tried to impress him with their business skills. He won the election in part by tapping into Americans' deep anxieties about an economy that seemed unable to meet the needs of the middle class. The larger business community has applauded his promises to reduce corporate taxes and cut regulations. But there are also concerns about his stated plans to impose broad tariffs and possibly target companies that he sees as not aligning with his own political interests. Trump spends the bulk of his time at his Florida home but was in New York for weeks this spring during his hush money trial there. He was convicted, but his lawyers are pushing for the case to be thrown out in light of his election. While he spent hours in a Manhattan courthouse every day during his criminal trial, Trump took his presidential campaign to the streets of the heavily Democratic city, holding a rally in the Bronx and popping up at settings for working-class New Yorkers: a bodega, a construction site and a firehouse. Trump returned to the city in September to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at his Manhattan tower and again in the final stretch of the presidential campaign when he held a rally at Madison Square Garden that drew immediate blowback as speakers made rude and racist insults and incendiary remarks . At the stock exchange, the ringing of the bell has been a tradition since the 1800s. The first guest to do it was a 10-year-old boy named Leonard Ross, in 1956, who won a quiz show answering questions about the stock market. Many times, companies listing on the exchange would ring the bell at 9:30 a.m. to commemorate their initial offerings as trading began. But the appearances have become an important marker of culture and politics -- something that Trump hopes to seize as he’s promised historic levels of economic growth. The anti-apartheid advocate and South African President Nelson Mandela rang the bell, as has Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone with his castmates from the film “The Expendables.” So, too, have the actors Robert Downey Jr. and Jeremy Renner for an “Avengers” movie and the Olympians Michael Phelps and Natalie Coughlin. In 1985, Ronald Reagan became the first sitting U.S. president to ring the bell. “With tax reform and budget control, our economy will be free to expand to its full potential, driving the bears back into permanent hibernation,” Reagan said at the time. “We’re going to turn the bull loose.” The crowd of traders on the floor chanted, “Ronnie! Ronnie! Ronnie!” The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed in 1985 and 1986, but it suffered a decline in October 1987 in an event known as “Black Monday.” ___ Long reported from Washington.

Five dead, 15 injured as bus falls into gorge near West Bengal-Sikkim borderEXCLUSIVE Keir Starmer declares war on benefits Britain: Prime Minister vows to crack down on £137billion welfare 'blight' By GLEN OWEN POLITICAL EDITOR Published: 18:25 EST, 23 November 2024 | Updated: 18:36 EST, 23 November 2024 e-mail 42 View comments Sir Keir Starmer today pledges to crack down hard on the 'bulging benefits bill blighting our society' as he tries to steal the Tories ' political clothes over abuses of the welfare system. The Prime Minister uses an article in today's Mail on Sunday to promise 'sweeping changes' to try to tame the £137 billion bill for welfare benefits – including a blitz on cheats and those who 'game the system' – vowing: 'No more business as usual.' His most hardline comments yet on the issue come as Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall prepares to announce a package of legislation on Tuesday to 'get Britain working', after officials forecast that more than four million people will be claiming long-term sickness benefits by 2030 – 60 per cent higher than before the pandemic. Much of the rise is due to an increase in benefits for mental health conditions, which account for more than a third of all disability claims. The amount spent by taxpayers on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) claims alone has shot up from just £700,000 a year in 2013 to an astonishing £292 million today, a rise of more than 41,000 per cent. The announcement marks a new push by the Prime Minister to focus on domestic politics, after his globetrotting to international summits earned him the Westminster nickname 'Never Here Keir' and Labour 's poll ratings plummeted following a backlash against the Budget . Sir Keir says that the reforms announced this week will pave the way for 'the biggest overhaul of employment support in memory'. He writes: 'In the coming months, Mail on Sunday readers will see even more sweeping changes. Because make no mistake, we will get to grips with the bulging benefits bill blighting our society.' Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to crack down on the benefit system, taming the bill on welfare benefits and tackling those who 'game the system' Sir Keir and Rachel Reeves on a visit to Panorama St Paul's in the City of London A Jobcentre plus office in Weston-super-Mare. Officials forecast that more than four million people will be claiming long-term sickness benefits by 2030 'Don't get me wrong – we will crack down hard on anyone who tries to game the system, to tackle fraud so we can take cash straight from the banks of fraudsters. 'There will be a zero-tolerance approach to these criminals. My pledge to Mail on Sunday readers is this: I will grip this problem once and for all.' But a Tory Party spokesman said: 'Labour's hollow promises on welfare reform will fool no one. When the last Conservative government introduced messages to tackle the growing benefits bill, Labour opposed them every step of the way. 'At the Budget, instead of following in our footsteps and taking difficult decisions on welfare to fund public services, Rachel Reeves instead reached straight for the tax lever. 'This new government has no clue what is needed to get people off benefits and back into work.' Read More SIR KEIR STARMER: Jobs are about dignity and pride... not just paying the bills Labour's plans include giving the NHS a role in getting people back to work, such as employing tens of thousands of people who are economically inactive for health reasons in non-clinical roles. Ms Kendall's White Paper is also expected to include the placement of work coaches in mental health clinics. The number of people claiming incapacity benefits is forecast to rise from 3.2 million last year to 4.2 million in 2029 – costing Britain £35.5 billion by the end of the decade . In 2019, there were 2.5 million people claiming these benefits, at a cost of £17 billion. In his MoS article, Sir Keir tries to reassure the Labour Left that he is not aping Tory policies by saying that the reforms will not 'sow division' by describing people on benefits as 'shirkers', but would instead 'treat people with dignity and respect'. He singles out Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride, who was Work and Pensions Secretary in Rishi Sunak's Government, for supposedly having 'picked fights instead of governing' and using 'meaningless rhetoric to grab headlines'. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has said that it is not clear why the costs of benefits have increased so much in the UK since Covid because the trend has not been seen in other countries. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall will announce a package of legislation on Tuesday to 'get Britain working' The number of people claiming incapacity benefits is forecast to rise from 3.2 million last year to 4.2 million in 2029 (file photo) In his MoS article, Sir Keir tries to reassure the Labour Left that he is not aping Tory policies by saying that the reforms will not 'sow division' and insisting that he will 'treat people with dignity and respect' Associate director Tom Waters said: 'It can't just be long Covid or the cost of living crisis by themselves, because these apply elsewhere as well. If these trends continue it will mean very difficult choices, cutting spending elsewhere or increasing taxes.' The £137 billion bill for benefits for working-age people includes £90 billion for disability and £35 billion for housing benefit. A further £166 billion is paid to pensioners, taking the Government's total social security expenditure to £303 billion, which is nearly 11 per cent of the country's GDP. Under the new reforms, the NHS is also likely to be tasked with working more closely with Jobcentres, linking local health and work and skills support as part of a drive to devolve more decision-making to local areas. More detailed plans to reform welfare payments linked to health conditions will be announced in the new year.

A rape allegation against rapper Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation has produced some of the NFL’s entertainment presentations including the Super Bowl halftime show, will not affect the league’s relationship with the music mogul. “We’re aware of the civil allegations and Jay-Z’s really strong response to that,” NFL (National Football League) commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday after the conclusion of the league’s winter meetings. “We know the litigation is happening now. From our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl.” A woman who previously sued musician Sean “Diddy” Combs, alleging she was raped at an awards show after-party in 2000 when she was 13 years old, amended the lawsuit on Sunday to include a new allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault. Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, said the rape allegation made against him is part of an extortion attempt. The 24-time Grammy Award winner called the allegations “idiotic” and “heinous in nature” in a statement released by Roc Nation. The NFL teamed up with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in 2019 for events and social activism. The league and the entertainment company extended their partnership a few months ago. Kendrick Lamar will perform the Super Bowl halftime show at The Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9. Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins will serve as co-executive producers of the halftime show. Beyonce, who is married to Jay-Z, will perform at halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game at Christmas. “I think they’re getting incredibly comfortable not just with the Super Bowl but other events they’ve advised us on and helped us with,” Mr Goodell said. “They’ve been a big help in the social justice area to us on many occasions. They’ve been great partners.” We do not moderate comments, but we expect readers to adhere to certain rules in the interests of open and accountable debate.

STEPHENVILLE, Texas (AP) — Victor Gabalis and Kayvon Britten each accounted for two touchdowns, Darius Cooper had 190 yards receiving with a score and No. 13 seed Tarleton State won its inaugural FCS playoff game with a 43-29 victory over unseeded Drake on Saturday in a first-round matchup. Tarleton State (10-3) will travel to No. 4 seed South Dakota (9-2) in a second-round game on Dec. 7. Drake jumped out to a 14-3 lead late in the first quarter behind Blake Ellingson’s 2-yard touchdown run and Luke Bailey’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Taj Hughes. Britten answered with a 6-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter and his 1-yard TD run stretched the Texans’ lead to 29-14 late in the third. Gabalis’ 49-yard touchdown pass to Cooper made it 36-21 with 10:49 remaining. Gabalis was 26-of-36 passing for 337 yards with two touchdowns. Cooper finished with 11 catches and Britten added 146 yards rushing on 29 carries. Kyle Weber also scored on a pair of short-yardage touchdown runs for the Texans. Bailey and Hailey connected again with a 10-yard score late in the third quarter that pulled the Bulldogs to 29-21. Bailey completed 31 of 49 passes with three touchdown passes and two interceptions. Hughes made 11 catches for 63 yards for Drake (8-3). __ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Shabana Mahmood wrote in a letter to her constituents that she was “profoundly concerned” about the legislation, which will be debated and voted on in the Commons on Friday. The Cabinet minister warned: “It cannot be overstated what a profound shift in our culture assisted suicide will herald. “In my view, the greatest risk of all is the pressure the elderly, vulnerable, sick or disabled may place upon themselves.” In the letter seen by The Observer, she added: “The right to die, for some, will — inexorably and inevitably — become the duty to die for others. "And that is why I will be voting against this Bill.” READ MORE ON ASSISTED DYING PM Sir Keir Starmer is expected to vote but he has opted not to say in advance whether he will ­support the Bill. MPs will have a free vote on the matter, meaning their parties will not tell them what to do. Earlier in the week, Ministers were under growing pressure to publish an impact assessment into assisted dying. Critics said that if the Government was staying neutral it should at least conduct an independent review of the Bill. Most read in The Sun Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick became the latest to make the demand, saying: “The Assisted Dying Bill isn’t party political, but the lack of any consultation or impact assessment risks making it unworkable. “I have real concerns the courts won’t cope and the safeguards aren’t sufficient to prevent abuse.” Labour MP Kim Leadbeater - who proposed the legislation - raised concerns when she said politicians should “butt out” of the debate. Keir Starmer also slapped down his Health Secretary for wading into the assisted dying debate. BARONESS Tanni Grey-Thompson has blasted the assisted dying Bill. The disability campaigner said: “It’s full of holes and there aren’t enough safeguards to make sure vulnerable people are protected. “If this becomes legal, it will be used to get rid of disabled people.”Woman Allegedly Dies in Crash as Police Respond to Bomb Threat Against Marjorie Taylor Greene

CHICAGO — Chicago voters turned out at a much lower rate in this month’s general election than in recent presidential contests, marking the lowest turnout rate in 28 years, according to the most recent data from the Chicago Board of Elections. While election officials initially expected a high turnout , it ended up being markedly low for a presidential election. According to unofficial results, the Chicago Board of Elections reported that roughly 67.9% of registered city voters cast ballots in the election, roughly 3 percentage points less than the 71% turnout in 2016 and 5 percentage points lower than in 2020, when turnout was 73.3%.

The Washington Commanders released 2023 first-rounder Emmanuel Forbes on Saturday, cutting ties with another high draft pick from the previous regime. All of previous coach Ron Rivera's first-rounders — including edge rusher Chase Young in 2020, linebacker Jamin Davis in ‘21 and wide receiver Jahan Dotson in '22 — are now gone. Forbes never showed progress to the new staff led by coach Dan Quinn and was a healthy scratch twice this season and did not play in two other games during which the 23-year-old was in uniform. It's unclear if Forbes' release means anything about the status of cornerback Marshon Lattimore , the Commanders' trade deadline pickup in early November who still has not played for them because of a hamstring injury. Lattimore was listed as doubtful for Washington's home game Sunday against Tennessee. The Commanders (7-5) also put running back Austin Ekeler on injured reserve because of a concussion . They elevated kicker Zane Gonzalez and defensive tackle Carl Davis from the practice squad in preparation for facing the Titans (3-8). Washington has lost three in a row to fall from first place in the NFC East to the conference’s final wild-card spot. The most recent loss, last weekend against division rival Dallas, came when Austin Seibert missed his second extra point of the game, which would have tied it with 21 seconds left. Seibert went on IR earlier in the week with a groin injury that Quinn said the kicker reported Monday. While injuries have piled up as the Commanders await their late bye week, the choice of Forbes has been second-guessed since the moment Rivera's front office chose the 166-pound Mississippi State defensive back with the 16th pick over Christian Gonzalez and others. Gonzalez was selected next, by New England, and has started 16 games for the Patriots. Forbes was benched last season by Rivera, who was in charge when Washington selected Davis ahead of offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw in '21 and traded down to take Dotson the following year instead of safety Kyle Hamilton or receiver Chris Olave. Forbes has two interceptions and 12 passes defensed in 20 games. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Stephen Whyno, The Associated PressTrump wants pardoned real estate developer Charles Kushner to become US ambassador to France
