LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 on Monday at last said it will expand its grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors. “As the pinnacle of motorsports, F1 demands boundary-pushing innovation and excellence. It’s an honor for General Motors and Cadillac to join the world’s premier racing series, and we’re committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," GM President Mark Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM’s engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level.” The approval ends years of wrangling that launched a U.S. Justice Department investigation into why Colorado-based Liberty Media, the commercial rights holder of F1, would not approve the team initially started by Michael Andretti. Andretti in September stepped aside from leading his namesake organization, so the 11th team will be called Cadillac F1 and be run by new Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter. The team will use Ferrari engines its first two years until GM has a Cadillac engine built for competition in time for the 2028 season. Towriss is the the CEO and president of Group 1001 and entered motorsports via Andretti's IndyCar team when he signed on financial savings platform Gainbridge as a sponsor. Towriss is now a major part of the motorsports scene with ownership stakes in both Spire Motorsports' NASCAR team and Wayne Taylor Racing's sports car team. Walter is the chief executive of financial services firm Guggenheim Partners and the controlling owner of both the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and Premier League club Chelsea. “We’re excited to partner with General Motors in bringing a dynamic presence to Formula 1," Towriss said. “Together, we’re assembling a world-class team that will embody American innovation and deliver unforgettable moments to race fans around the world.” Mario Andretti, the 1978 F1 world champion, will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1. But his son, Michael, will have no official position with the organization now that he has scaled back his involvement with Andretti Global. “The Cadillac F1 Team is made up of a strong group of people that have worked tirelessly to build an American works team,” Michael Andretti posted on social media. “I’m very proud of the hard work they have put in and congratulate all involved on this momentous next step. I will be cheering for you!” The approval has been in works for weeks but was held until after last weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix to not overshadow the showcase event of the Liberty Media portfolio. Max Verstappen won his fourth consecutive championship in Saturday night's race, the third and final stop in the United States for the top motorsports series in the world. Grid expansion in F1 is both infrequent and often unsuccessful. Four teams were granted entries in 2010 that should have pushed the grid to 13 teams and 26 cars for the first time since 1995. One team never made it to the grid and the other three had vanished by 2017. There is only one American team on the current F1 grid — owned by California businessman Gene Haas — but it is not particularly competitive and does not field American drivers. Andretti’s dream was to field a truly American team with American drivers. The fight to add this team has been going on for three-plus years and F1 initially denied the application despite approval from F1 sanctioning body FIA . The existing 10 teams, who have no voice in the matter, also largely opposed expansion because of the dilution in prize money and the billions of dollars they’ve already invested in the series. Andretti in 2020 tried and failed to buy the existing Sauber team. From there, he applied for grid expansion and partnered with GM, the top-selling manufacturer in the United States. The inclusion of GM was championed by the FIA and president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who said Michael Andretti’s application was the only one of seven applicants to meet all required criteria to expand F1’s current grid. “General Motors is a huge global brand and powerhouse in the OEM world and is working with impressive partners," Ben Sulayem said Monday. "I am fully supportive of the efforts made by the FIA, Formula 1, GM and the team to maintain dialogue and work towards this outcome of an agreement in principle to progress this application." Despite the FIA's acceptance of Andretti and General Motors from the start, F1 wasn't interested in Andretti — but did want GM. At one point, F1 asked GM to find another team to partner with besides Andretti. GM refused and F1 said it would revisit the Andretti application if and when Cadillac had an engine ready to compete. “Formula 1 has maintained a dialogue with General Motors, and its partners at TWG Global, regarding the viability of an entry following the commercial assessment and decision made by Formula 1 in January 2024,” F1 said in a statement. “Over the course of this year, they have achieved operational milestones and made clear their commitment to brand the 11th team GM/Cadillac, and that GM will enter as an engine supplier at a later time. Formula 1 is therefore pleased to move forward with this application process." Yet another major shift in the debate over grid expansion occurred earlier this month with the announced resignation of Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei, who was largely believed to be one of the biggest opponents of the Andretti entry. “With Formula 1’s continued growth plans in the US, we have always believed that welcoming an impressive US brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Maffei said. "We credit the leadership of General Motors and their partners with significant progress in their readiness to enter Formula 1." AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man charged with Brian Thompson, suffered from a spinal condition. included several references to back pain. On X, Mangione's banner included an X-ray image of a spine after a spinal fusion. On his Reddit account, he posted in a subreddit for spondylolisthesis, a lower back condition most often caused by joint deterioration. Mangione also mentioned in handwritten notes from 2019 reviewed by Business Insider. According to Cleveland Clinic, spondylolisthesis is usually caused by aging (as the discs holding the vertebrae weaken) or injuries. It is a condition when one of the bones in the spine falls out of alignment and "presses down" on the vertebra below it. That pressure on nearby nerves can cause Other symptoms include sciatica (nerve pain that runs down from the lower back to the legs), back stiffness, numbness, and difficulty walking. Not everyone needs spinal fusion surgery to realign their vertebrae; depending on the severity of the symptoms, rest, physical therapy, and wearing a brace can help reduce pain, as can taking over-the-counter medications when symptoms flare up. In 2022, Mangione moved to a co-living space in Honolulu called Surfbreak. According to a Reddit post, he experienced sciatica, nerve pain that runs down from the lower back to the legs, for the first time after a surf session. "A few weeks later I slipped on a piece of paper and my right glute locked and right leg shut down for a week," he wrote in 2022. "Couldn't support any weight on it." Prior to his back surgery in 2023, Mangione also described having "near-constant burning/twitching in both ankles/calves" and "back and genital pain" on Reddit — symptoms of sciatica. R.J. Martin, who owns Surfbreak, told the that shortly after moving in, Mangione experienced such debilitating pain from a group surfing lesson that he needed Martin to switch out his mattress. Mangione also told Martin that his condition prevented him from being in a romantic relationship. "He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn't possible," Martin said. "I remember him telling me that, and my heart just breaks." At first, the back surgery seemed to improve Mangione's symptoms — he posted in 2023 that it was a "success." But by June 2024, he started and eventually lost touch with friends and family. According to Mayo Clinic, spinal fusion surgeries for spondylolisthesis "can have very good outcomes when performed well and for the right reasons." Read the original article onBill Belichick has a trophy case full of titles from his time in the NFL. But the allure of a college championship evidently still calls to him. Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, Pete Thamel and Chris Low on Wednesday that the legendary former New England Patriots boss would be making his return to coaching -- almost a year after parting ways with the Patriots -- as the coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels . Editor's Picks Sources: Belichick finalizing deal to coach UNC Ranking all 52 teams in College Football Playoff history Bowl season preview: Storylines to know and players to watch from each matchup Belichick cuts a fascinating profile as a hire. Few -- if any -- in the industry have won like the six-time Super Bowl champ head coach has. But Belichick, 72, also has never held any official college coaching position in his nearly five-decade-long career. Belichick's complete lack of college experience is an anomaly. But while he'd be starting his collegiate résumé next year, plenty more have returned to the college level after an NFL head coaching stint, though the results of such moves have been a decidedly mixed bag. Here are some of the most notable head coaches to move from the pros to college over the past 20 years. Matt Rhule, 2023, Nebraska Rhule rose to fame thanks to his stints leading the Temple Owls and Baylor Bears . At Temple, he produced back-to-back 10-win seasons at a school that hadn't won double-digit games since 1979, and left Baylor after transforming a scandal-ridden program back into a New Year's Six participant. His subsequent tenure leading the Carolina Panthers didn't go as swimmingly, where he was fired midway through his third season in charge after a lackluster first two campaigns. Soon afterward, he was tabbed by the Nebraska Cornhuskers to return to the college game, where he's currently 11-13 across two seasons. The Cornhuskers' Pinstripe Bowl appearance this December will be the team's first bowl game since 2016. Chip Kelly, 2018, UCLA A torrid 46-7 run -- including three consecutive 12-win seasons -- with the Oregon Ducks earned Kelly a ticket to the NFL. His time in the professional ranks started well, piloting the Philadelphia Eagles to an NFC East title in his first season and another 10-win campaign the next fall. But the wheels fell off in his third year when he was fired before the season's final game with the Eagles sitting at 6-9. A bounce-back gig with the San Francisco 49ers didn't prove much better, and Kelly was fired after a single 2-14 campaign. Eleven months later, the UCLA Bruins brought Kelly back to the Pac-12. Success wasn't immediate -- the Bruins won no more than four games in each of their first three seasons under Kelly -- but the offensive guru eventually turned in three consecutive 8+ win campaigns to end his tenure in Westwood. Last offseason, Kelly left UCLA to become offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes . Herm Edwards, 2018, Arizona State Headlines ran aplenty during Edwards' run with the Arizona State Sun Devils , which started with a bang when the school issued a news release corresponding with his hiring detailing a "restructured ASU football model" styled after the NFL. Edwards, whose most recent coaching gig had come almost a decade prior with the Kansas City Chiefs , produced a seven-win campaign in his first year and an eight-win effort the next fall. A .500 effort during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season was followed up by another eight-win season in 2021. The ensuing offseason, however, the headlines turned more sour. The NCAA investigated an alleged culture of rule breaking, and a number of key staff and players departed. The final nail in the coffin was an embarrassing home loss to Eastern Michigan in 2022, after which the school announced a change in leadership . Jim Harbaugh, 2015, Michigan The Michigan Wolverines alum took over his alma mater after parting ways with the 49ers following his first season without double-digit wins in December 2014. Harbaugh's early years in Ann Arbor were up and down -- the Wolverines won 10 games in three of his first four seasons, but Harbaugh lost his first five editions of "The Game" against Ohio State, and was 1-4 in bowl appearances a half-decade into his tenure. But a switch was flipped after Michigan's ugly 2-4 2020 season. Across Harbaugh's final three years, the Wolverines went 3-0 against Ohio State, won three Big Ten championships and a national championship in 2023. The national title proved Harbaugh's ticket back to the NFL stage, where he accepted the Los Angeles Chargers ' head job soon after. Jim Mora, 2012, UCLA Before the Bruins looked to the ranks of ex-NFL head coaches to bring in Chip Kelly, they did the same to hire his predecessor in Westwood: Jim Mora. Like Kelly, Mora's tenure in the NFL started strong with a divisional title and playoff berth in his first year with the Atlanta Falcons . Also like Kelly, however, Mora's next two seasons in charge of the Falcons would include a dip in record, and a subsequent one-year stint with the Seattle Seahawks proved a bust. Just under two years after his departure from Seattle, Mora was hired by UCLA to try his hand as a head coach in the college ranks. Mora's tenure proved to be a reverse of Kelly's arc with the Bruins -- starting strong with 29 wins in his first three seasons before petering out with back-to-back losing seasons in 2016 and 2017. Lane Kiffin, 2009, Tennessee Kiffin's rise in the coaching world was rapid, with his first head coaching position coming in the NFL with the then- Oakland Raiders when he was just 31 years old. His tenure with the Raiders was far from stellar, going 4-12 in his first season before being fired after a 1-3 start in the next campaign. A few months later, Kiffin was back in a head coaching role, this time in the college ranks with the Tennessee Volunteers . He became the youngest active coach in the FBS when he was hired . The Volunteers improved from 5-7 in 2008 to 7-6 during Kiffin's first season as coach, but that first year would be his only one in Knoxville. He decamped to take the recently vacated head coaching job with the USC Trojans , where he had served as Pete Carroll's offensive coordinator prior to taking the Raiders job. Bobby Petrino, 2008, Arkansas Petrino spent less than one season as an NFL coach with the Falcons, going 3-10 before resigning to return to the college ranks and take the Arkansas Razorbacks job. The Razorbacks improved during each year of Petrino's time in Fayetteville, culminating in an 11-win campaign and a Cotton Bowl win during his fourth season in 2011. An off-field incident during the ensuing offseason, however, led to Petrino being put on administrative leave before being fired . Nick Saban, 2007, Alabama Though he emphatically stated in December 2006 that he would not be taking the Alabama Crimson Tide job, Saban landed in Tuscaloosa weeks later and returned to the college ranks after two seasons with the Miami Dolphins . Though Saban's tenure with Miami was forgettable (a 15-17 overall record), the former national champion coach of the LSU Tigers turned Alabama into a dynasty. A 7-6 first campaign was followed up by 16 consecutive double-digit win seasons, including six national championships. Steve Spurrier, 2005, South Carolina After an excellent spell with the Florida Gators , Spurrier was tabbed by the Washington Commanders to come serve as "Head Ball Coach" in the NFL ranks. But Washington failed to finish better than third in the NFC East in either of his two seasons. After a season away from the game, Spurrier went back to the SEC -- this time with the South Carolina Gamecocks -- where he'd return to his winning ways. The Gamecocks finished .500 or better in ten of his eleven seasons in Columbia, highlighted by a stretch of three consecutive 11-win campaigns with top-10 final rankings from 2011 to 2013. Spurrier resigned with South Carolina sitting at a 2-4 record midway through 2015, offering a typically frank comment in his departure: " It's time for me to get out of the way. "

However, sources close to told Page Six that the letter was not meant to halt the release of the film, which premiered on Hulu on November 18, but rather to ensure factual accuracy about the infamous 1999 Manhattan nightclub shooting that involved both men. The documentary highlights 's claim that he was made the "fall guy" for the events at the nightclub, where a shooting left three people injured. was convicted on charges including assault and reckless endangerment and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, serving almost nine before his release in 2009. , on the other hand, was acquitted of weapons and bribery charges connected to the case. Witnesses had alleged that he fired a weapon, but the claims were not substantiated in court. In the film, Shyne alleges that Diddy orchestrated witness testimony against him, claiming this betrayal has only recently gained public recognition. "Because when I said it [at the time], everyone was partying and having a great time with Diddy while I was left to rot in prison," Shyne states in the documentary. Shyne, now a politician serving as the Leader of the Opposition in Belize, has opened up about his decision not to implicate , citing "integrity about character" as the reason he kept silent. "I thought I was protecting him," Shyne said, but now feels differently about Diddy's role in the trial. Diddy's denial and legal team response 's legal team has strongly denied Shyne's allegations. "Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow's allegations... These claims are unequivocally false," a representative told Page Six. He also expressed his appreciation for Shyne's political career but lamented his revisiting of these accusations.Thousands in Georgia human chain as pro-EU protests enter 2nd monthQuarterback Brock Purdy threw without pain Monday and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan will wait until midweek to determine the progress of edge rusher Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams. It remains to be seen who will and won’t be available when the 49ers embark on a cross country trip to face AFC East power Buffalo, currently 9-2 and the No, 2 seed in the conference. The 49ers are expected to get a practice lift with the activation of linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who will begin his 21-day window off injured reserve after offseason Achilles surgery after being injured in the Super Bowl. Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who worked with the scout team last week as he works through his grief following the loss of his 23-month-old daughter, may also begin getting work again with the first team. Are things actually looking up for the 49ers? One thing’s for sure is that the 49ers are looking up at everybody else in the AFC West but are still only a game out of first place with Seattle and Arizona at 6-5 and the 49ers and Rams at 5-6. It’s clear to Shanahan any pathway to the playoffs would be as a division title rather than as a wild card. “You look at the whole NFC picture and if you don’t win the division, 10-7 is not guaranteed to get in as a wild card by any means this year,” Shanahan told reporters during his weekly conference call. “That is why the Seattle game was so tough, and that’s why last night was even worse. “We know exactly what the playoff situation is, but really all that matters is this week when you do need to go on a run and put a lot of wins to even think of that, then you’d better be thinking of only one thing – and that’s Buffalo.” Should Purdy be unable to go, Shanahan said Brandon Allen would get a second start at quarterback. SNAP JUDGEMENTS 72: Safeties Ji’Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha and middle linebacker Fred Warner played every defensive snap. 49: When Allen at quarterback and Jaylon Moore at left tackle play every snap (along with Colton McKivitz, Dominick Puni and Jake Brendel) then you know there’s a problem with injuries. And Allen and Moore were the least of their problems. 44: Leonard Floyd played 61 percent — about his usual number — even without Nick Bosa in the lineup. With 3 1/2 sacks in his last two games, he’s a half-sack behind Bosa fo the team lead. 33: Rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall Jr. played 67 percent of the snaps — the same as Deebo Samuel — and did not have a pass thrown his way. 21: Robbie Beal Jr. played a season-high number of snaps in Bosa’s absence at defensive end and did not appear on the stat sheet for having a tackle or an assist. 9: Running back Jordan Mason has played 14 snaps in three games since McCaffrey’s return and has six carries for 26 yards. 4: Tashun Gipson was promoted to the 53-man roster but still hasn’t played on defense in three games at safety. He had four special teams snaps against Green Bay. More to come on this breaking story . . .

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Government Accountability Office says leadership is needed to fully define quantum threat mitigation strategy. A new report released by the agency emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive federal leadership to address the emerging cybersecurity risks posed by quantum computing, warning that without prompt and coordinated action, adversarial nations might exploit quantum technology to undermine national security. "It is important for the Office of the National Cyber Director to act on our recommendation now for several reasons," Marisol Cruz Cain, director with GAO's Information Technology and Cybersecurity team, wrote in an email to The Center Square. "Adversaries could copy data protected by cryptography today and store it with the intention of accessing it later once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer is developed." The director is also the lead author of The Future of Cybersecurity. "The key to successful migrations is to start planning now and not wait until a CRQC is on the horizon," Cain wrote. "A fully comprehensive strategy will provide agencies with more clarity on their responsibilities and the common outcomes they are aiming to achieve. It will also provide the nation a better-defined roadmap for allocating and managing resources and holding participants accountable for achieving results." A cryptographically relevant quantum computer is a quantum computer that can run algorithms to crack or weaken existing cryptography. Quantum computing is a rapidly advancing technology that has the potential to solve complex problems at an unprecedented speed, which also poses significant risks in today's cybersecurity. The report says various documents have been developed over the past eight years that have contributed to an emerging U.S. national quantum computing cybersecurity strategy. The Government Accountability Office has identified three goals moving forward. The first goal is to standardize post-quantum cryptography, the second would be to migrate federal systems to that cryptography, and the third would encourage all sectors of the economy to prepare for the threat. The report identifies gaps in federal agency preparedness and a lack of clear leadership to oversee the transition to quantum-safe systems, as "No single federal organization is responsible for the U.S. strategy’s coordination." While agencies like the National Institute of Standards and Technology have taken necessary steps to develop quantum-resistant cryptographic standards, the report found inconsistencies in how federal agencies implement recommendations. The Government Accountability Office says national strategies should ideally contain six characteristics: • Purpose, scope, and methodology. • Problem definition and risk assessment. • Objectives, activities, milestones, and performance measures. • Resources, investments, and risk management. • Organizational roles, responsibilities, and coordination. • Implementation and integration. According to the report, the accountability office was asked to investigate the federal government's strategy for addressing threats posed by quantum computers to the nation's cryptography. The current encryption methods are designed to secure sensitive data, but unfortunately, could potentially become vulnerable to future efforts of quantum-enabled decryption in the future. The report also stresses that the federal government will need to act swiftly to implement quantum-resistant cryptography in order to ensure that those critical systems would remain secure. According to the report, "some experts predict that a quantum computer capable of breaking certain cryptography – referred to as a cryptographically relevant quantum computer – may be developed in the next 10 to 20 years." The agency also identified challenges in workforce development and noted a shortage of professionals with expertise in quantum computing and cybersecurity, suggesting federal agencies invest in training programs and collaborate with private sector leaders to ensure a skilled future workforce that is ready to tackle any quantum-related threats. The report serves as a roadmap for quantum threat mitigation and outlines ways the federal government could appoint a centralized leadership body to oversee the implementation of quantum-safe measures. The report also calls for increased funding for quantum research and development and stronger public-private partnerships to address other vulnerabilities while also emphasizing that proactive leadership is critical to ensuring the United States remains at the forefront of cybersecurity in the quantum era.UConn announced a two-year contract extension for head football coach Jim Mora on Saturday, just before the team took the field for the Fenway Bowl against North Carolina. Mora’s contract extension will run through 2028 and will pay him $10 million through the remaining four years, with the opportunity to earn more in incentives. The 63-year-old coach is set to make $1.7 million next season, $1.9 million in 2026 and $2.3 and $2.4 million in 2027 and 2028, respectively. UConn then went out and thrashed North Carolina, 27-14, in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. “I am forever grateful. I’m grateful to (athletic director) David (Benedict) and (school president) Radenka (Maric) and the Board of Trustees, but this is about what the (UConn players) did today,” Mora said when asked about the extension in the postgame press conference.

When I first got here, I talked about where we wanted this program to go and we have shown great progress but we still have plenty of work to do. The commitment and dedication from the university and the athletic department has me excited about the future for our football team.” “Three years ago, I tasked Jim Mora with the challenge of leading our football team back to success and through his experience, energy and leadership he has done just that,” UConn athletic director David Benedict said in a statement. “He has taken our program to post season bowl games twice and just guided our team to one of the best seasons in UConn football history, building a momentum to keep this program moving forward. I look forward to his leadership of our football team in the years ahead.” Mora is coming off one of the most successful seasons in UConn football history, having led the team to an 8-4 record and an appearance in the Fenway Bowl. It’s the Huskies’ second bowl appearance in three years. UConn’s eight wins is the most for the program since 2010, and the Huskies had their first winning season since that year, too. A win Saturday would give UConn nine wins for just the third time in program history, with the last two such seasons coming in 2003 and 2007. Robbins heading to Tulsa UConn quarterbacks coach Brad Robbins is heading to Tulsa as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, according to a report from CBS Sports. Robbins was part of a coaching staff that helped the offense produce its most prolific attack since the 2009 season and fifth-most in program history (32.3 points per game). Robbins worked at FCS Tennessee Tech and Division II North Greenville before joining Jim Mora’s staff in spring 2023. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
