Medical Properties Trust: Extreme Makeover, Why I'm Buying AggressivelyB.C. minister wants new safety plan for Victoria schools, threatens board removal VICTORIA — British Columbia Education Minister Lisa Beare has appointed a special adviser to help the Victoria school board "revise and improve" its safety plan after it barred police from schools except in emergencies.

Education Minister Lisa Beare speaks at an event in Maple Ridge, B.C., Oct. 7, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck VICTORIA — British Columbia Education Minister Lisa Beare has appointed a special adviser to help the Victoria school board "revise and improve" its safety plan after it barred police from schools except in emergencies. Beare says former Abbotsford, B.C., school superintendent Kevin Godden will help with the changes, and if a plan isn't reached by Jan. 6, she will consider using the School Act to replace the current school board. Police haven't been allowed at district schools except in special circumstances since last year, and the board says it based that decision on reports that some students and teachers — particularly those who are Indigenous or people of colour — don't feel safe with officers in schools. Victoria police Chief Del Manak has repeatedly criticized the board's decision, citing concerns that include increased gang activity in schools. Ongoing public objections by youth counsellors and area First Nations to the removal of police from schools prompted the Education Ministry to order the board to come up with a new safety plan in August. However, the ministry says in a statement that the plan submitted by the school board was not approved after an independent review involving discussions with First Nations, local police chiefs, the parent advisory council and the board's trustees. Theresa Campbell, CEO of the group Safer Schools Together, says in the statement that the district's plan did support some high-risk vulnerable youth and staff training, but didn't address the key aspects of a comprehensive safety plan. "Proactive safety plans must include strong relationships and collaboration with law enforcement, First Nations and other community partners. There is also a need for more specificity regarding safety strategies, protocols and processes," she says in the statement. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 6, 2024.

($SUM) dipped more than 1.7% on Monday (11:41 a.m. ET) after the company confirmed its reported acquisition by concrete maker Quickrete for $11.5 billion, pushing down retail sentiment. Quickrete’s all-cash offer of $52.50 per share has been challenged by at least two law firms representing shareholders. However, Summit’s largest shareholder, Cementos Argos, has committed to vote in favor of the deal. Quikrete has also obtained commitment letters for the financing necessary to complete the deal, which is not subject to a financing condition, according to a company statement confirming the transaction. The transaction price represents a 36% premium to Summit's 90-day volume weighted average price and a 29% premium on its share price as of Oct. 23 when talks of the acquisition first emerged. The deal is expected to close in the first half of next year. Morgan Stanley and Evercore are acting as financial advisors to Summit, the statement added. "This combination, and the value it creates, is a testament to our stellar strategic and financial performance, agile operational and commercial execution, and to the strength and talent of our entire team who have delivered a 34.6% annualized return since we began to develop our Elevate strategy on September 1, 2020," Anne Noonan, Summit Materials president and CEO said. Retail sentiment on the stock has turned ‘neutral’ from ‘extremely bullish’ a month ago. Message volumes inched down to the ‘high’ zone from ‘extremely high’ in the same period. The deal will combine Summit's aggregates, cement and ready-mix concrete businesses with Quikrete's concrete and cement-based products. Summit Materials’ stock is up 32.6% year-to-date.

For the next game, it was a Bush Tucker twist on beer pong - and two stars were up for grabs. And they managed to win them both. A seventh star was then up for grabs, if Coleen and Richard could finish a dirty fishbowl drink together. If they managed it - drinks would be up for grabs for everyone back in camp that evening. Advertisement Advertisement Coleen struggled but Richard kept going and finished it all. Winning the final star - taking the total to seven: six for meals and one for drinks. After the challenge, each of the celebs were pulled out of camp for a surprise: to meet a family member or loved one for an emotional reunion.

Reps Member Blames Defection Of LP Lawmakers On 2027 Polls

EMPOLI, Italy (AP) — Englishman Keinan Davis scored with 14 minutes remaining for Udinese to draw at Empoli 1-1 in Serie A on Monday and snap the visitor's three-game losing streak. The former Watford and Aston Villa striker rose to head home a near-post corner with 76 minutes gone. Pietro Pellegri put Empoli ahead midway through the first half with his third goal in three games. The on-loan Torino striker has endured a lean season but a goal in the 1-0 win over Como was followed by another in the 1-1 draw with Lecce before the international break. The result was the first point in four games for Udinese, after consecutive defeats to Atalanta, Juventus and Venezia, and meant that both sides retained their mid-table positions. Udinese was ninth and Empoli 10th. Later, Venezia missed a chance to move off the foot of the table when it went down at home to Lecce 1-0. Venezia was dominant for most of the game, with Gaetano Oristanio and Jay Idzes hitting the woodwork and Wladimiro Falcone outstanding in the Lecce goal. But the home side paid for its profligacy after 70 minutes. Antonino Gallo’s sublime cross from the left was met by Patrick Dorgu at the far post and he steered the ball into the far corner to give Lecce all three points. Lecce, which started the night only two places above bottom side Venezia, jumped into 15th place.

King scores 28, North Carolina Central downs Gardner-Webb 78-77As President Joe Biden's term comes to an end, social media users are falsely claiming that his administration spent billions of dollars on the construction of just a handful of electric vehicle charging stations. Multiple high-profile figures, including sitting members of Congress, have promoted the claims. The claims misrepresent funding set aside by the 2021 Infrastructure and Jobs Act , also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, for a national network of publicly available electric vehicle chargers . Biden has set a goal of creating 500,000 such chargers by 2030. Here's a closer look at the facts. CLAIM: The Biden administration spent $7.5 billion to build eight electric vehicle charging stations. THE FACTS: That's incorrect. The $7.5 billion figure refers to the total amount allocated through the 2021 law to build a network of charging stations across the U.S., not the amount that has already been spent. There are currently 214 operational chargers in 12 states that have been funded through the law, with 24,800 projects underway across the country, according to the Federal Highway Administration. A charger, often called a charging port, provides electric power to one vehicle at a time through a connector, which is plugged into the vehicle. Stations are physical locations that can have multiple chargers. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg called the claims spreading online “false” in a series of X posts. “$7.5B has not been spent, nor anything like that,” he wrote, adding that federally funded chargers are built by individual states, not the federal government, and that most will be built in the second half of the 2020s. The total $7.5 billion in funding consists of $5 billion distributed through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program , or NEVI, and $2.5 billion distributed through the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program , or CFI. NEVI funds, as determined by a formula, go annually to departments of transportation in all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, from 2022 to 2026. The funds will be available until 2030. Each year, 10% of NEVI funding is set aside for states and local governments that require additional assistance. CFI provides grants to states and other localities through an application process. It funds electric vehicle charging, as well as other alternative fueling infrastructure, with a focus on underserved and disadvantaged communities. Rep. Michael Rulli, a Republican from Ohio, was among multiple high-profile figures who falsely claimed this week that the entire budget has already been spent. “Pete Buttigieg will leave his post as Transportation Secretary having spend $7.5 BILLION to build 8 EV charging stations,” he wrote in an X post that had received approximately 62,900 likes and shares as of Wednesday. “His legacy will be squandering billions on something nobody wants, while millions struggle to afford the things they need.” Rulli's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. By early this year, only four states — Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Hawaii — had opened stations funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, The Associated Press reported in March . A Washington Post article published the next day said this amounted to just seven stations . Loren McDonald, an independent analyst tracking the electric vehicle charger buildout, told the AP that when assessing the progress that's been made it's important to understand that some states have extensive experience constructing electric vehicle charging infrastructure while others have little to none. He explained that Wisconsin, for example, had to pass a new law in order to comply with federal requirements. “This is a federal program, but at the end of the day, it's completely dependent on the states,” he said. “And so the real criticism probably needs to be directed at the states that are moving slowly or how the program was structure. But I don't know how else you would have done it.” Asked whether the federal government could do anything to help states move faster, McDonald suggested that it could have provided them with more guidance on how to manage their individual buildouts. All 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia have access to two rounds of NEVI funding totaling nearly $2.4 billion, according to the Federal Highway Administration. As of Friday, 37 states have access to their third round of funding, for an additional $586 million total. The agency explained, however, that this does not represent money that has already been spent — just the money that is available to fund projects. The Federal Highway Administration has announced more than $1.3 billion in awards through CFI and funds set aside by NEVI with $779 million in grants currently available under both programs. This also represents money that is available for projects rather than money that has been spent. There are currently more than 203,000 publicly available charging ports across the U.S., with nearly 1,000 being turned on every week, according to the agency. This is more than double the number available in 2021. In addition to NEVI and CFI, funding sources include federal tax incentives and private investments.

Cha Joo Young transforms into a powerful queen in upcoming drama The Queen Who CrownsTweet Facebook Mail Luigi Mangione, the clean-cut 26-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson in New York City, has gained a fervent fan base of social media users hailing him as a hero and a heartthrob. The New York Police Department released surveillance images of the man they suspect had brazenly killed Thompson on a busy street in Midtown Manhattan on December 3 as part of their five-day manhunt across several states. They appealed to the public for their assistance but, instead, the pictures set off an internet frenzy of users complimenting his appearance. READ MORE:  Australian teen 'stabbed to death' in Thailand A man alleged to be Luigi Mangione smiles in surveillance footage released after the shooting. (AP) "He was just demonstrating the true power of having 'looks that could kill'. The only thing criminal is his bone structure," one user said. Officials revealed the words "depose", "deny" and "delay" had been written on bullet casings found at the scene, which seemingly point to Jay Feinman's book Delay, Deny, Defend on tactics used by insurers to deny claims. A tip earlier this week led police to arrest Mangione, an Ivy League graduate from a prominent family who is believed to have targeted Thompson. His motive remains unknown. This photo provided by Pennsylvania State Police shows Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, at the police station in Altoona, Pennsylvnia after his arrest. (AP) Despite now facing a murder charge, the public has been overwhelmingly supportive and even branded him a hero in light of criticisms of the country's healthcare system. Mangione's lawyer, Tom Dickey, told CNN that some people had even offered to help pay his legal fees. "He went against private health insurance corporations is what he did ... And in this house, Luigi Mangione is a hero, end of story," one user said, summing up much of the sentiment online. Another said: "The main difference being Luigi Mangione allegedly killed one person while the Insurance CEO killed thousands of people for profit." READ MORE:  Gasps as notorious killer 'excluded' from DNA evidence A report by the Network Contagion Research Institute recorded a surge of highly engaged social media posts glorifying the incident with six of the top 10 posts expressing explicit or implicit support for the killing. "The thing that's odd about about this case is that you've got someone who's committed a horrible crime and yet he seems to have this positive image," Monash University senior media lecturer Andy Ruddock told 9news.com.au. Ruddock said the link between Mangione's support and the frustration of the US healthcare industry is undeniable and pointed to the phrase "desk killers", which refers to someone who indirectly assists in killings through clerical tasks. "People have felt comfortable being as callous as the health industry appears to be," he said. "It does seem to me that people are kind of saying, 'We know what we're doing and this is why we're doing it', and it's also become an event around which people are quite clearly talking about the savageness of the denial of healthcare."

Baranec) UnitedHealthcare chief executive officer Brian Thompson was shot dead as he walked to an investor conference in Manhattan. (UnitedHealth Group) Ruddock said that Mangione's popularity could also be explained by the historical glamorisation of vigilantes and killers, as well as the media storytelling and interest around figures like Robin Hood, Bonnie and Clyde and Ted Bundy. "If you think about someone like Ted Bundy, where people would talk about this serial killer who nevertheless had this curious charm, there are a lot of similarities there because we're talking about someone most people thought was a good-looking guy, well-educated," he said. "We have a number of mythic stereotypes. (Mangione) makes sense from those points of view and then we have the social media use being layered over the top of that." Mangione's looks and Ivy League background have only added to his appeal, Ruddock said. "It's breaking expectations about who would commit these sorts of crimes," he said. READ MORE:  'Human trash': Vandals target police memorial site Ruddock said these types of alleged killings represent a "reversal of power" of someone who may appear to be "untouchable", adding that there is an increased approval for violence if it is exercised for political reasons. "If we think about Trump returning to the presidency, what do we see there? We see political violence being rewarded. There's the insurrection of January the 6th," he said. "It's different directions but the same type of logic." But the reality is that an act of violence occurred and a man is dead, Ruddock said.  "There's the reality and the reality of the way it is being narrated," he said. Luigi Mangione in arrest photos supplied by US police. (Nine) The case has been polarising, according to Altoona Deputy Police Chief Derek Swope, who said his officers have been receiving threats from the community.

The announcement, which is part of an application initiated by racing team Andretti Global, shakes up the F1 world and could provide a boost to the fast-growing U.S. market with the arrival of the storied American car manufacturer. It comes two days after the Las Vegas Grand Prix . F1 said in a statement that it “reached an agreement in principle with General Motors (GM) to support bringing GM/Cadillac as the eleventh team to the Formula 1 grid in 2026.” The much-anticipated decision follows a year-long saga marked by drama and bitter tensions within F1 after Andretti Global applied to join the grid and gained the approval of the sport’s governing body FIA — only to get rejected by the Liberty Media-owned commercial side of F1, which questioned whether Andretti would bring sufficient value to the sport or be competitive. But the added promise from GM to become a “works” team — building both a car and a power unit — led to a breakthrough. “Formula 1 has maintained a dialogue with General Motors, and its partners at TWG Global,” — which now controls Andretti 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 eleventh 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 and will provide further updates in due course.” In a statement, GM said it will build its own power unit “by the end of the decade,” without specifying a year. “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.” Mario Andretti, a former F1 champion and the patriarch of the Andretti racing dynasty, will serve as a director on the team’s board. “My first love was Formula 1 and now — 70 years later — the F1 paddock is still my happy place. I’m absolutely thrilled with Cadillac, Formula 1, Mark Walter, and Dan Towriss,” Andretti said in a statement. “To still be involved at this stage of my life — I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming.” Last spring, Andretti paid a visit to Washington, D.C., at the invitation of lawmakers, and the story became political. Within a few months, the Justice Department began investigating Liberty Media for potential antitrust violations amid allegations that it shut out a U.S. team to protect the largely European teams from competition. That probe could fizzle as a result of this move. “If Andretti and GM have worked out a deal to get onto the Formula 1 grid, federal enforcers will probably be able to close their file and focus on other things,” said Daniel Francis, a professor at NYU School of Law and an antitrust expert. “Sometimes the best investigations are the ones that resolve themselves: consumers benefit and the enforcers can deploy their resources elsewhere.” Andretti's son, Michael Andretti, who helmed the team’s initial application to join F1, has been sidelined under the new effort, with investor Dan Towriss taking the reins of Andretti Global and overseeing it. It will be the first time since 2016 that F1 has had more than 10 teams on the grid. One of those existing teams, Haas F1, is owned by American Gene Haas with headquarters in North Carolina. But the team uses a Ferrari engine and is lesser known to American fans. There are two drivers per team, and the addition of the GM-Cadillac seats on the grid will be a welcome development for young drivers. Many have hit roadblocks trying to break into a sport, despite showcasing their talent, as older veterans are staying longer and those who bring sponsorship money gain a leg up. “From a young drivers point of view, I think they would definitely vote to have another team,” RB driver Liam Lawson, who is looking to secure his seat for next season, said in an interview. Some veteran drivers could also be interested in a seat. On Saturday, after the Las Vegas race, NBC News asked outgoing Sauber driver Valtteri Bottas, a 10-time race winner, whether he might be interested in a 2026 seat at Cadillac F1. “Yes. I might,” Bottas replied. The move sets up a clash of two American car giants, GM and Ford, in Formula 1. Ford is partnering with Red Bull to build the team’s power unit starting in 2026. As rumors about the potential deal circulated, it was the talk of the paddock at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. “Ford versus GM could be pretty sexy,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said on Sky Sports F1.

Freiburg survives late onslaught to beat Wolfsburg in Bundesliga thrillerWASHINGTON — Donald Trump said he can't guarantee that his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won't raise prices for American consumers and he suggested once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect, in a wide-ranging interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday, also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning "things do change." A look at some of the issues covered: Trump hems on whether trade penalties could raise prices Trump has threatened broad trade penalties, but said he didn't believe economists' predictions that added costs on those imported goods for American companies would lead to higher prices for U.S. consumers. He stopped short of a pledge that U.S. households won't be paying more as they shop. "I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee tomorrow," Trump said, seeming to open the door to accepting the reality of how import levies typically work as goods reach the retail market. That's a different approach from Trump's typical speeches throughout the 2024 campaign, when he framed his election as a sure way to curb inflation. In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying they are "going to make us rich." He has pledged that, on his first day in office in January, he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada unless those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. He also has threatened additional tariffs on China to help force that country to crack down on fentanyl production. "All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field," Trump said. Trump suggests retribution for his opponents while claiming no interest in vengeance He offered conflicting statements on how he would approach the justice system after winning election despite being convicted of 34 felonies in a New York state court and being indicted in other cases for his handling of national security secrets and efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. "Honestly, they should go to jail," Trump said of members of Congress who investigated the Capitol riot by his supporters who wanted him to remain in power. The president-elect underscored his contention that he can use the justice system against others, including special prosecutor Jack Smith, who led the case on Trump's role in the siege on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump confirmed his plan to pardon supporters who were convicted for their roles in the riot, saying he would take that action on his first day in office. As for the idea of revenge driving potential prosecutions, Trump said: "I have the absolute right. I'm the chief law enforcement officer, you do know that. I'm the president. But I'm not interested in that." At the same time, Trump singled out lawmakers on a special House committee who had investigated the insurrection, citing Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. "Cheney was behind it ... so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee," Trump said. Asked specifically whether he would direct his administration to pursue cases, he said, "No," and suggested he did not expect the FBI to quickly undertake investigations into his political enemies. But at another point, Trump said he would leave the matter up to Pam Bondi, his pick as attorney general. "I want her to do what she wants to do," he said. Such threats, regardless of Trump's inconsistencies, have been taken seriously enough by many top Democrats that Biden is considering issuing blanket, preemptive pardons to protect key members of his outgoing administration. Trump did seemingly back off his campaign rhetoric calling for Biden to be investigated, saying, "I'm not looking to go back into the past." Swift action on immigration is coming Trump repeatedly mentioned his promises to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally through a mass deportation program. "I think you have to do it," he said. He suggested he would try to use executive action to end "birthright" citizenship under which people born in the U.S. are considered citizens — although such protections are spelled out in the Constitution. Asked specifically about the future for people who were brought into the country illegally as children and have been shielded from deportation in recent years, Trump said, "I want to work something out," indicating he might seek a solution with Congress. But Trump also said he does not "want to be breaking up families" of mixed legal status, "so the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back." Trump commits to NATO, with conditions, and waffles on Putin and Ukraine Long a critic of NATO members for not spending more on their own defense, Trump said he "absolutely" would remain in the alliance "if they pay their bills." Pressed on whether he would withdraw if he were dissatisfied with allies' commitments, Trump said he wants the U.S. treated "fairly" on trade and defense. He waffled on a NATO priority of containing Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Trump suggested Ukraine should prepare for less U.S. aid in its defense against Putin's invasion. "Possibly. Yeah, probably. Sure," Trump said of reducing Ukraine assistance from Washington. Separately, Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire. Asked about Putin, Trump said initially that he has not talked to the Russian leader since Election Day last month, but then hedged: "I haven't spoken to him recently." Trump said when pressed, adding that he did not want to "impede the negotiation." Trump says Powell is safe at the Fed, but not Wray at the FBI The president-elect said he has no intention, at least for now, of asking Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to step down before Powell's term ends in 2028. Trump said during the campaign that presidents should have more say in Fed policy, including interest rates. Trump did not offer any job assurances for FBI Director Christopher Wray, whose term is to end in 2027. Asked about Wray, Trump said: "Well, I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious" that if the Senate confirms Kash Patel as his pick for FBI chief, then "he's going to be taking somebody's place, right? Somebody is the man that you're talking about." Trump is absolute about Social Security, not so much on abortion and health insurance Trump promised that the government efficiency effort led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will not threaten Social Security. "We're not touching Social Security, other than we make it more efficient," he said. He added that "we're not raising ages or any of that stuff." He was not so specific about abortion or his long-promised overhaul of the Affordable Care Act. On abortion, Trump continued his inconsistencies and said he would "probably" not move to restrict access to the abortion pills that now account for a majority of pregnancy terminations, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. But pressed on whether he would commit to that position, Trump replied, "Well, I commit. I mean, are -- things do -- things change. I think they change." Reprising a line from his Sept. 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump again said he had "concepts" of a plan to substitute for the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which he called "lousy health care." He added a promise that any Trump version would maintain insurance protections for Americans with preexisting health conditions. He did not explain how such a design would be different from the status quo or how he could deliver on his desire for "better health care for less money."
