THAT’S HOW YOU PLAY!!! Following their 2nd by week of the year, the Miami Hurricanes returned home to Hard Rock Stadium and beat the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 42-14 on Senior Day. Mike Schiffman chimed in with his 3 stars, which you can see right here: And now, let’s dive into The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. The Good The Bad The Ugly Team Grades Offense: B Miami ended up rolling up a bunch of yards and plenty of points, but it was a slog there for a while. Yes, I’m holding this offense to a high standard, but it’s the standard they themselves have set. Congrats to the seniors, congrats to Cam Ward personally, and congrats on the win. But this wasn’t the offense’s best game of the year. Defense: A+++++ Conversely, this WAS the Miami defense’s best game of the year. Total lockdown after 2 broken coverages on the first drive. Only allowed 7 points all day. And look at all the numbers up top in “The Good”. This was a masterclass from the Miami defense, and they should be praised for it. Bravo. No notes. Special Teams: D Kicking was good. Punting was solid. But nothing in the return game, and Miami allowed yet-another kick return touchdown. Fix it. Coaching: A Look, everybody knows Miami’s coaches had a tough job to refocus this team for the final playoff push after the first loss of the year at Georgia Tech and they did just that. Sure, Wake scored on their first offensive possession, but that was it. And, after the KR-TD, the special teams coverage unit did much better. And, through it all, the coaching staff pushed the right buttons to get a great performance from the team on all phases. I’ve been critical of some of the coaches so far this year, but I have to give credit here where it’s due. Great job. That’s it for this installment of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Hop in the comments and keep the conversation going. Go CanesIn a move to streamline public events and enhance accountability, the Chandigarh Police have placed the responsibility for safety and traffic management squarely on the shoulders of event organisers. Whether it’s a political rally, musical concert or religious procession, organisers must now ensure the smooth execution of their gatherings, taking charge of everything from crowd control to traffic diversions. Under the newly formed “SoP guidelines for permissions for public event”, organisers are required to take proactive steps to manage crowd safety and traffic disruptions. This includes deploying trained volunteers to assist with traffic regulation and crowd control, particularly for large-scale events. Compliance with safety regulations is mandatory, with requirements such as installation of CCTV cameras, proper signage and availability of safety equipment at event venues. Organisers will bear full responsibility for any accidents or incidents occurring during their events. To ensure transparency, organisers must conduct videography or photography of the event and submit copies to the Chandigarh Police upon request for investigative purposes. They are also required to prepare clear and tested evacuation and emergency response plans. For larger gatherings, these plans must be shared with local authorities to ensure readiness for any unforeseen situations. Additionally, event layouts, entry and exit points, and estimated crowd sizes must be submitted at the time of application to facilitate effective monitoring. In a notable shift, organisers are now responsible for arranging traffic diversions, ensuring road safety measures, and installing necessary signage to guide attendees. Processions are required to adhere to specific rules, such as keeping to the left and occupying no more than one-third of the road width. Pedestrian and cycling paths must remain unobstructed, and vehicles must be parked in authorised areas to avoid congestion. As per the guideline, organisers must inform the public about event permissions and rules through press releases and social media platforms, ensuring compliance and awareness among attendees. IGP to grant permissions Previously, the process for obtaining event permissions involved forwarding applications to multiple departments, including the SSP (Law & Order), SSP (Traffic & Security), chief fire officer and municipal corporation, with the deputy commissioner’s office granting the final approval. Now, the inspector general of police (IGP) will serve as the nodal officer for the permission-granting process. The IGP will oversee approvals and ensure adherence to all stipulated guidelines. After a thorough assessment, the IGP will formally decide on the permission. All permissions granted, conditions imposed and post-event reports will be recorded for future audits and evaluations.

‘Wheel of Fortune’ Player Misses $40,000 Win After Disney DisasterPrince Karim Aga Khan, the 49th Imam of the Ismaili Muslim community, marks his 88th birthday on December 13, celebrated by millions around the world. His leadership over the decades has been defined by service, humanitarian development, and cultural preservation, leaving an enduring legacy. Born on December 13, 1936, in Geneva, Switzerland, Prince Karim Aga Khan was raised in a culturally and spiritually enriched environment. He attended prestigious European schools, where he excelled academically and became known for his sportsmanship in skiing and horseback riding, gaining international recognition in sports circles. After completing his secondary education, he pursued higher studies at Harvard University, majoring in Islamic History and Eastern Civilizations. His academic pursuits laid a strong foundation for his future role as a global leader dedicated to humanitarian and development work. In 1957, at the age of 20, Prince Karim Aga Khan succeeded his grandfather, Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah (Aga Khan III), as the Imam of the Ismaili Muslim community. His grandfather’s will emphasized his intellectual merit, vision, and leadership potential. Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah himself was a visionary leader known for advancing education, healthcare, and international diplomacy. He founded Aligarh Muslim University in India and championed efforts to promote global cooperation and dialogue. Recognizing the need for community development, Prince Karim Aga Khan established the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), now one of the world’s largest private development organizations. AKDN’s efforts span healthcare, education, economic development, and cultural preservation in over 30 countries. Institutions like Aga Khan University, the Institute of Ismaili Studies, and several academic centers were founded under his leadership. These institutions continue to advance research, education, and community development. His commitment to fostering global dialogue and cultural understanding is reflected in the creation of iconic Ismaili Centers in cities such as London, Toronto, and Lisbon. These centers promote cultural exchange and social development. December 13 is celebrated by over 15 million Ismaili Muslims worldwide. The day is marked by prayers, cultural events, and charitable initiatives that reflect Prince Karim Aga Khan’s mission of community service and human development. In Afghanistan, home to a significant Ismaili population, celebrations include communal prayers, charity distributions, and cultural performances. Events held in mosques and cultural centers promote unity, social harmony, and collective well-being. Prince Karim Aga Khan has received more than 70 international honors, including the Grand Cross of Portugal, honorary degrees from leading universities, and invitations to address forums such as Canada’s Parliament and the United Nations. His work in cultural preservation includes landmark restoration projects such as Al-Azhar Park in Cairo, Baltit Fort in Pakistan, and sustainable housing developments in Central Asia. These efforts ensure that cultural heritage is preserved for future generations. The Ismaili Imams trace their lineage back to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first Shia Imam and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This historical heritage carries spiritual and social responsibility, a legacy that Prince Karim Aga Khan has embraced through visionary leadership. As the world celebrates his 88th birthday, Prince Karim Aga Khan’s lifelong dedication to humanitarian service, education, and cultural preservation continues to inspire global progress, peace, and shared prosperity.
