Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’Pure Storage Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial ResultsMizzou football landed its third recruit of the week Tuesday night when three-star running back Brendon Haygood committed to the Tigers over Texas Tech, announcing his decision on Instagram. Running back Marquise Davis and wide receiver DaMarion Fowlkes joined Missouri’s Class of 2025 Sunday and Monday, respectively. Haygood, who was formerly committed to Boise State, decommitted from the Broncos’ while he was in Columbia last Saturday, just minutes before Missouri’s regular-season finale against Arkansas kicked off. On Nov. 7, Tigers’ running back coach Curtis Luper visited Haygood in Texas. The 5-foot-9, 190-pound running back out of Sachse High School in Sachse, Texas, is a three-star recruit and the 24th best running back in his class, according to 247Sports. He received offers from Texas Tech, Boise State, Houston and Kansas State among others. Haygood helped lead his team to a 9-2 record in 2024. He racked up 1,703 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns on 149 carries, averaging 11.4 yards per carry and 154.2 yards per game and was named the MVP of the 9-6A Division. With Haygood’s commitment, the Tigers are up to 16 commitments and their class ranks No. 21 nationally, according to 247Sports. It has not been all good news for Missouri, as the Tigers saw two players who were formerly committed to them join the Aggies’ class. Four-star running back Jamarion Morrow flipped his commitment from Missouri to Texas A&M. Morrow made the announcement on social media Tuesday. The Germantown, Tennessee, product had originally committed to the Tigers in June. Morrow was the 13th-highest ranked athlete and 317th-highest rated overall player in the Class of 2025, according to 247Sports. Throughout his senior season at Melrose High School, momentum had been building towards Morrow flipping his commitment, and less than a week after the high school senior visited Texas A&M, he will now join the Aggies’ 2025 recruiting class. Offensive tackle Lamont Rogers, who decommitted from Missouri on Monday, will also be signing with Texas A&M. Rogers made his announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday morning. Rogers, a consensus five-star prospect and the No. 27 prospect in the Class of 2025 by 247Sports, had committed to the Tigers on July 6. Rogers is a Texas native, and had been heavily pursued by multiple in-state powers programs such as Texas, Houston, Baylor and SMU, but he ultimately landed with the Aggies after a heated recruitment battle that included six official visits across four states. The Tigers have three remaining offensive line prospects committed in the Class of 2025. Eureka’s Jack Lange, the top-rated player in the state of Missouri, headlines the Tigers’ incoming offensive line reinforcements. Lange committed to Missouri on April 24. The Tigers’ staff also extended an offer to Chastan Brown, a three-star offensive tackle from Georgia. Brown decommitted from UCF on Nov. 30 and received an offer from Mizzou on Tuesday. With the additions of Rogers and Morrow, Texas A&M’s class is up to No. 9 in the country. It’s already been an eventful week on the recruiting trail for the Tigers, and that might continue Wednesday. As Missouri looks to put the finishing touches on its 2025 class, there are a few more players that fans should look out for. Javion Hilson, a five-star defensive end and a consensus top-80 player in the Class of 2025, according to Rivals, decommitted from Florida State in September and picked up a Mizzou offer Nov. 20. The high-profile prospect out of Florida visited Columbia this past weekend, which came as a surprise as some speculated he’d be making a visit to Texas A&M after his high school teammate — quarterback Brady Hart — flipped his commitment from Michigan to the Aggies. Hilson has an impressive offer list that includes programs such as Ohio State, Michigan, Texas A&M, Texas, Miami, LSU and Florida. Syracuse is another team that is rumored to be among his top schools. On Tuesday, On3’s Steve Wiltfong entered a prediction for Hilson’s recruitment in favor of the Tigers. Should he commit to Missouri, he would become the third-highest ranked recruit in the class according to 247Sports. He is expected to make a decision sometime Wednesday. Tobi Haastrup, a four-star defensive end out of Texas, is also expected to announce a decision Wednesday. Haastrup, originally from England, has only played organized football for one year, but his build and athletic ability make him an exciting prospect for college coaches across the country. He is the No. 270 overall player in 247Sports’ Composite Rankings and holds offers from over 20 schools. Haastrup’s top-six schools consist of Michigan, Texas Tech, Oregon, Florida State, USC and Mizzou. He will announce his decision at 1:40 p.m. Wednesday on Instagram. Wiltfong also predicted Haastrup to sign with the Tigers. Another player to watch is North Carolina commit Javion Butts. The Tigers have been recruiting the safety hard, and they even got him on campus for a visit this past weekend for the Arkansas game. He is the 649th-ranked player and 53rd best safety in his class, according to 247Sports’ Composite Ranking. Butts is currently still committed to the Tar Heels, but coach Mack Brown was let go last week, so a flip to Missouri is not out of the question.
S&P/TSX composite rises Wednesday while U.S. markets move lowerThe Aurora City Council has approved using money from a federal grant to replace police and fire department laptop computers and some closed-circuit TV cameras. Aldermen Tuesday night unanimously agreed to use money from the federal Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, Technology and Equipment Program received earlier this year for the items. The city already accepted the $2.28 million grant, which is given to provide funding for projects which improve police effectiveness and the flow of information among law enforcement agencies, local government service providers and the communities they serve, according to a city memo. Earlier this year, the City Council approved about $1.23 million of the money for forensic lab equipment, as well as closed-circuit TV equipment. Aldermen approved using the remaining about $1.05 million to lease laptops for both police and fire personnel, and additional CCTV equipment. The city memo said that police officers, paramedics and fire crews need rugged laptops they can rely on in all situations and weather conditions. The laptops the city purchased have exceeded their warranty life, and the city wants to replace them with better models. The grant would cover the first-year lease costs of $872,634. The city would look at using Emergency Telephone Service Board money to cover the second and third years, which has been done previously for both the police and fire departments. Jeff Anderson, the city’s deputy chief information officer, said by leasing the laptops instead of buying them, the city could afford a laptop for each police officer. Buying them outright would have meant the city could only outfit about 42% of the officers, he said. Also, by leasing, the city can give the laptops back after the three-year period, when they would be outdated and would need new software anyway. After the laptop costs, and some other associated costs, the city would have $107,924 remaining of the original $2.28 million grant. Aurora public safety officials want to use that for any other costs related to closed-circuit TV needs. The entire grant has to be spent by the end of 2024. slord@tribpub.com

The Toronto Transit Commission will continue to accept tokens, tickets and day passes until the end of May next year, reversing a contentious decision to stop accepting the legacy fares . The change was made this week after TTC chair Jamaal Myers put forward a motion at Tuesday’s TTC board meeting to continue accepting the legacy fares until June 1. “Our customers bought this in good faith,” Myers said at the meeting. “They paid money for it ... I think it’s only fair and reasonable just to give customers the opportunity to spend the tickets that they paid for.” The motion, which was adopted by the board, also includes a provision that gives Wheel-Trans riders until Dec. 31, 2025 to use the fares, a decision made because they potentially use the TTC less frequently than other riders. The TTC said it wants to get rid of the legacy fares in order to streamline payments across the system. The Eglinton Crosstown and Finch LRTs will not accept tickets or tokens when they open. Less than one per cent of riders pay with tickets and tokens, according to the TTC, which stopped selling them near the end of 2019. Third-party retailers sold them . But many riders were surprised by the transit commission’s announcement in October that it intended to discontinue the fares as of Jan. 1, although the TTC said at Tuesday’s meeting that it had announced the possibility of phasing out tickets and tokens as early as 2019, and had handed out information pamphlets about the change to customers as well as posted information on social media. At the board meeting, a number of speakers complained about the lack of a trade-in program and the lack of time the TTC gave riders to use the legacy fares, both of which could have contributed to a windfall for the transit agency of $24 million, the value of tokens and tickets still in circulation. The transit advocate group TTCriders was one of a number of community organizations that signed an the TTC to let transit user exchange tokens and tickets for single-use Presto tickets. Rev. Maria Christina Conlon of the Davenport Perth Community Ministry, a United Church in Toronto’s west end, told the Star she put her name to the petition because she’d heard from several individuals who were concerned about using the tokens and tickets that the ministry had given them before Jan. 1. “If they stop accepting them or using them, where did the money go?” said Conlon, adding it would have been “another blow for people that need transportation.” Conlon said one man had saved 100 tokens, which represented a sizable sum for anyone who is helped by her ministry, which she said includes people working multiple jobs or on social assistance. Tickets have been used since the TTC came into existence in 1921. Tokens were introduced in 1954, the year that the TTC opened Canada’s first subway, the Yonge line, in 1954.Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’
