Giorgio Scalvini celebrated his return for Atalanta just 173 days after a serious knee injury and would not rule out a Scudetto push for this season. ‘We play with more quality now.’ La Dea continued their astounding form with a seventh Serie A win on the bounce, with goals from Mateo Retegui, Ederson and Ademola Lookman. Matteo Cancellieri had got Parma back into it straight after the restart, but after two disallowed goals, Lookman managed to seal it at the back post. The best news was the comeback for Scalvini as a substitute, ahead of schedule considering he underwent anterior cruciate ligament surgery “I am very happy to be back, these were very long and tough months with a lot of work. I couldn’t wait to be back on the pitch with my teammates,” “I’ve been training with the squad for three or four weeks, stepping up the amount of work I do and it was wonderful to be back. Now we’ve got to keep pushing and I can hopefully get back to the fitness levels of my teammates.” Scalvini is effectively a reinforcement for Atalanta, who have been struggling with absences in defence, and the Sky Sport Italia pundits joked with his curls and gentle manner that he is similar to Italian tennis champion Jannik Sinner. Do Atalanta believe they can truly challenge for the Scudetto this season? “We take it one game at a time. The coach always tells us to do that, because if our minds go elsewhere, we cannot focus 100 per cent on the task in hand. He is very good at making us concentrate and the results are coming.” Atalanta are having their best ever start to a season with 28 points and 34 goals scored in the opening 13 rounds, so how have they improved from last term? “This team always had a great deal of intensity, but perhaps more quality now than we used to, the way we play our way out of defence. We have also improved our defensive solidity, the coach has done great work.” Scalvini was forced to miss EURO 2024 for Italy with that injury, but is considered one of Italy’s most promising talents for the future. He has a way of playing out from defence that is similar to Alessandro Bastoni, another Atalanta youth product, so where does that come from? “It was fundamental that I came through the Atalanta youth academy, they teach you that from the very start and want to see players with confidence. That is why so many have made it through to the main team.” . 👑🔙 — Atalanta B.C. (@Atalanta_BC)Trump offers support for dockworkers union by saying ports shouldn’t install more automated systems

Originally published Nov. 21 on IdahoEdNews.org . The newly elected trustees for the North Idaho College board were met with a standing ovation Wednesday evening as they took their oaths of office. The group’s installation was described as the end of a difficult era by college President Nick Swayne, community members, and the trustees themselves. “Today, Nov. 20, 2024, one door closes and another one opens,” Swayne said. “Despite very challenging circumstances and costly distractions, my administration and I, including the faculty and staff who chose to stay with us over the last few years, were able to keep the college on track, improve enrollment, and nurture nationally ranked programs and some of the best academics for our students.” New trustees of the Couer d'Alene college, Rick Durbin, Eve Knudtsen and Mary Havercroft, affirmed their focus on resolving bad governance issues that led to the college’s accreditation being in limbo with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Retaining accreditation was the group’s central campaign promise in opposition to a group of trustee candidates endorsed by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) — aligned with the prior board majority — which the new trustees argued caused the accreditation issues. Nearly 100 community members attended the meeting, repeatedly clapping and cheering throughout the meeting as the trustees were sworn in and began to address the issues laid out in the NWCCU’s recent campus visit report. The new trustees had a lengthy agenda for their first meeting, several trustees noted, however they covered the topics in an hour and a half, compared to the typical two-hour long meetings in recent years. THE RUNDOWN The two incumbent trustees, Brad Corkill and Tarie Zimmerman, were unanimously elected chair and vice chair, respectively. Havercroft was elected as secretary/treasurer. Corkill was absent from Wednesday’s meeting with a cold. Public comment was returned to the top of the meeting. A handful of community members spoke, most welcoming the new board. Pat Lippert, former philosophy professor at NIC, thanked the board for addressing votes of no confidence in prior iterations of the board on their agenda. “I am confident this signals a resolve to respond to this issue at last,” Lippert said. The new board is supportive of education and understands its importance, Lippert said. Charlie Ward, a freshman on NIC’s golf team, asked the board to address what will happen to student athletes' scholarships if changes are made to athletic programs. He is an international student and wanted clarification if current scholarship commitments will be honored. The board addressed the issue later in the meeting by unanimously authorizing Swayne to conduct a comprehensive review of athletic program sustainability, while ensuring commitments made to current students are fulfilled. A couple people expressed concerns over the board’s new direction, including Howard Kuhns. Kuhns brought up that after the previous board majority was elected the trustee meeting had to be shut down and noted that wasn’t happening Wednesday. “This meeting will go smoothly not because you are better trustees but because the supporters of the candidates who have lost have respect for the electoral process,” Kuhns said. “They are not here being disruptive.” He went on to pray for the trustees that the Holy Spirit would “move them to reject racism disguised as diversity, to reject socialism disguised as equity, and to reject the sexual perversion of the LGBTQ movement.” Kathleen Miller-Green, faculty assembly chair, said faculty were hopeful with the installation of the new board. “In many ways today marks a turning point, a new chapter for North Idaho College,” Miller-Green said. “We come together at a time of transition after years have tested our resilience, unity, and a commitment to the values that define us.” She went on to acknowledge the work ahead to heal rifts left by the strife of recent years. “I stand before you as a representative of our incredible faculty with confidence knowing that the arrival of this new board brings with it the opportunity for healing, collaboration and renewal,” Miller-Green said. The board addressed a handful of issues brought up in the recent campus visit evaluation report by the NWCCU: The next step for NIC in the accreditation process is for Swayne, Corkill, and a team of administrators to present to the NWCCU at their January meeting in Seattle. The college must return to good standing by April, a deadline set by the United States Department of Education.No. 11 Tennessee crushes UTEP to enhance CFP chancesSouthwest states certify election results after the process led to controversy in previous years

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge wins his second AL MVP award after leading MLB with 58 home runsTrump offers support for dockworkers union by saying ports shouldn’t install more automated systems
By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday voiced his support for the dockworkers union before their contract expires next month at Eastern and Gulf Coast ports, saying that any further “automation” of the ports would harm workers.

Foreign companies have made a fortune in the U.S. by giving them access to our markets. They shouldn’t be looking for every last penny knowing how many families are hurt.” The International Longshoremen’s Association has until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies. At the heart of the dispute is whether ports can install automated gates, cranes and container-moving trucks that could make it faster to unload and load ships. The union argues that automation would lead to fewer jobs, even though higher levels of productivity could do more to boost the salaries of remaining workers. The Maritime Alliance said in a statement that the contract goes beyond ports to “supporting American consumers and giving American businesses access to the global marketplace – from farmers, to manufacturers, to small businesses, and innovative start-ups looking for new markets to sell their products.” “To achieve this, we need modern technology that is proven to improve worker safety, boost port efficiency, increase port capacity, and strengthen our supply chains,” said the alliance, adding that it looks forward to working with Trump. In October, the union representing 45,000 dockworkers went on strike for three days, raising the risk that a prolonged shutdown could push up inflation by making it difficult to unload container ships and export American products overseas. The issue pits an incoming president who won November’s election on the promise of bringing down prices against commitments to support blue-collar workers along with the kinds of advanced technology that drew him support from Silicon Valley elite such as billionaire Elon Musk. Trump sought to portray the dispute as being between U.S. workers and foreign companies, but advanced ports are also key for staying globally competitive. China is opening a $1.3 billion port in Peru that could accommodate ships too large for the Panama Canal. There is a risk that shippers could move to other ports, which could also lead to job losses. Mexico is constructing a port that is highly automated, while Dubai, Singapore and Rotterdam already have more advanced ports. Instead, Trump said that ports and shipping companies should eschew “machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced.” “For the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off, and sending those profits back to foreign countries,” Trump posted. “It is time to put AMERICA FIRST!”On a rare two-game skid, No. 24 Arizona faces DavidsonShares of Amara Raja Energy & Mobility are expected to stay in the spotlight today after the company announced on Thursday that Hyundai Motors (HMIL) has partnered with them to equip its domestic product lineup with AMARON batteries . “Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), India’s smart mobility solutions provider, will equip its domestic product line-up with AMARON’s Made-in-India AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery technology,” said the company in an exchange filing.
