Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield reverses decision to put time limit on anesthesia
The former England footballer said he was ‘proud’ of how Coleen was doing in the Australian jungle in a post on social media on Saturday. Wayne Rooney has encouraged I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers to vote for his wife to do a Bushtucker Trial as he feels she would want to “put herself to the test”. The former England footballer, 39, said he was “proud” of how Coleen was doing in the Australian jungle in a post on social media on Saturday. The couple, who first met at school and began dating aged 16, share four sons – Kai Wayne, Klay Anthony, Kit Joseph and Cass Mac. “Proud of @ColeenRoo on @imacelebrity she’s doing great”, he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, alongside a collage of photos of her on the show. “Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. “If you can download the #ImACeleb and let’s get voting!” During the first task of the series, BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough chose to partner up with TV personality Coleen as he hailed her as “Wagatha Christie”. Rooney, 38, was given the nickname when she accused Rebekah Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, of leaking her private information to The Sun in a viral post on social media. In July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was “substantially true”. During Vardy’s stint on I’m A Celebrity, she became the third celebrity to leave, saying the series helped her become more tolerant. Earlier this week, Liverpool-born Coleen told her fellow campmate that going to court over her feud with Vardy was her “worst nightmare” as she felt she was “putting on a show for the whole world”. However, she said she was not scared about making the viral post which kicked off the dispute, saying: “I just didn’t think it would have the impact it did, because I was just that sick and tired of it, it was draining.” Later in the episode, Rooney became emotional over the loss of her sister Rosie, after boxing star Barry McGuigan spoke about the death of his daughter. I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV1 and ITVX.Nine area teams are represented in the 18-player West Central Tribune All-Area Football Team in 2024. Leading the pack is the BOLD Warriors with four selections. The Warriors kept up their tradition of top-tier play with an 8-2 record, a top-10 ranking in Class A and an appearance in the Section 5A championship game where BOLD lost to Minneota. Behind BOLD is Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa with three picks. The Jaguars also went 8-2, finished the regular season in the top 10 and made the Section 4A championship. BBE lost to Upsala/Swanville Area, denying the Jaguars a second straight state trip. Also earning two All-Area selections were New London-Spicer, Litchfield, Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg and Dawson-Boyd. Renville County West, fresh off a state berth in the Class 9-Player state quarterfinals, had one All-Area pick. The Jaguars went 8-4 and claimed a state berth for the third time in school history with a 12-0 win over New Ulm Cathedral in the Section 2 9-Player championship. Willmar and Minnewaska also secured a player on the All-Area team. Six players are back from the area's best. BOLD's Hudson Vosika makes his third All-Area team. Other returners from 2023 are BOLD's Owen Flann and Jack Gross, BBE's Brett DeRoo, Dawson-Boyd's Brayson Boike and KMS' Jett Olson. Here is the 2024 West Central Tribune All-Area Football Team: Quarterback Jr., Dawson-Boyd Gunner Liebl was adept at making teams pay with both his arms and his legs. The Blackjacks' signal-caller completed 63.5% of his passes — 134 of 211 — for 2,102 yards and 21 touchdowns. Standing at 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Liebl also scored 13 touchdowns and ran for 593 yards on 88 carries on the way to All-District honors. "Gunner's a dual-threat QB that accounted for 34 total touchdowns," said Dawson-Boyd head coach Cory Larson. "Great vision. Very accurate thrower." Running back Sr., Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa's high-powered offense didn't have to take a step back this season thanks to Jack Lundberg. Lundberg carried the ball 127 times for 1,211 yards (a 9.5 yards per carry average) and 18 touchdowns. He also caught seven passes for 98 yards. Also a linebacker for the Jaguars, the 5-11, 165-pound Lundberg recorded 16 tackles (four tackles for loss) and two sacks. He was named All-District. "In many games, he was gone by the third quarter or even halftime because we had a comfortable lead," said BBE head coach Chris Moscho. "You cannot teach speed. Jack started off the season as our third back and quickly proved why he was our workhorse by mid-season. He runs a 4.6 40-yard dash." Jr., Renville County West Jacob Savig's physicality was on full display in Renville County West's run to the 9-Player state tournament. On offense, Savig ran the ball 194 times for 1,434 yards (7.4 yards per carry) and 18 touchdowns. Those efforts were recognized with an All-District nod and the team's offensive MVP. On defense, Savig had 61 tackles (34 solo) with six tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one fumble recovery and one interception. "Jacob was a workhorse for us this season; he was a large reason why the RCW football team was able to have the success we did this season," said Jaguars head coach Ryan Hebrink. "So much of our offensive production was based off of Jacob’s physical running. Jacob’s power along with his deceptive speed created a challenge for opposing teams. On the defensive side of the ball, he was a solid run-stopper for us playing linebacker. Jacob has earned the respect of his fellow teammates for not only his ability, but how he treats others well. Jacob gives great effort on the field while always maintaining a high level of sportsmanship." Wide receiver Sr., Dawson-Boyd Brayson Boike capped off his high-school football career as one of the most prolific pass-catchers in the state. A large target at 6-8 and 200 pounds, the Blackjacks senior and two-time All-Area pick ranked in the top 10 in the state, according to the MN Football Hub. Heading into the state championship games, Boike is tied for sixth in catches (65), tied for third in receiving yards (1,218) and tied for fifth in touchdown catches (15). He was twice named the District Most Valuable Wide Receiver and named the District Most Valuable Defensive Back three times. The Southwest Minnesota State University men's basketball recruit also returned punts, kickoffs and averaged 39 yards per kick as the punter. "Brayson filled many roles for our team," said D-B head coach Cory Larson. "Statistically, his numbers offensively are some of the best at his position in the state. Defensively ... he was only thrown at a small number of times with only a few short throws being completed his way. In the return game, he was consistently kicked or punted away from." Sr., New London-Spicer A two-year starter, Brock Buffington had a breakout season as a pass catcher for New London-Spicer. Named the District Wide Receiver MVP, Buffington caught 35 passes for 502 yards (14.3 yards per catch) and seven touchdowns. A two-year starter at cornerback, Buffington had 39 tackles and seven interceptions in his career. "Brock brings the rare combination of size, strength and speed," said NLS head coach Brian Westby. "He can run past most DBs, out-muscle smaller DBs and break many tackles. Brock made many big catches for us during the year. He was the best WR on the field and often made plays versus coverages designed to take him away. He is electric with the ball in his hands and is able to make a lot happen after the catch. Brock worked hard to get himself into a position to be a great weapon for us." Offensive line Sr., Willmar Finley Donelan has been a starter on Willmar's offensive line since his sophomore season. Along with anchoring the Cardinals' offensive line, Donelan played on the defensive line, recording 26 tackles with 15 solo tackles and a fumble recovery. He earned All-District honors. Donelan was also an Academic All-State selection. "For a big man, Finley showed great athleticism and versatility in stopping the run as well as protecting the quarterback," said Willmar head coach Jon Konold. "Finley is also a very intelligent football player. His ability to diagnose defensive fronts and get all the lineman blocking the correct assignment is incredible. Finley’s leadership this past season earned the respect of his teammates and coaches." Sr., Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Cooper Roering was a bulldozer on an offense that averaged 35.8 points per game. Roering gave up just one sack all season and, according to head coach Chris Moscho, "when we run, we run behind Cooper." That paid dividends for running back Jack Lundberg, who ran for over 1,000 yards for the Jaguars. On defense, the 6-3, 285-pound Roering recorded 14 tackles (one tackle for loss) and a safety. He was named District Defensive Lineman of the Year. "Cooper spends his free time going to camps and in the weight room," Moscho said. "We run behind him when we need the tough yards. Cooper is getting looks from some D-II colleges." Sr., BOLD Carson Serbus was a force in the interior for the BOLD Warriors. On offense, he was the starting right guard for an offense that averaged 328 rushing yards per game and 465 total yards per game en route to All-District honors. A nose guard on defense, Serbus had 49 tackles, five sacks, 13 tackles for loss, three QB hurries, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. "Carson is physical and plays the game with a chip on his shoulder," said BOLD head coach Derek Flann. "He has a good nose for the ball on defense and has put up great numbers for us as a nose since his sophomore year. He has the ability to force double teams on the weak side and still make plays. He battled through a knee injury for most of his senior year, but he played through it and stayed on the field both ways. He made line calls for us on the right side of our line and really did a great job or working with the two guys next to him." All-Purpose Sr., BOLD A starter for BOLD since eighth grade, Hudson Vosika wrapped up an historic career for the Warriors this fall. A three-time All-Area pick (2023, '21), Vosika ran for 1,715 yards and 29 touchdowns on 114 carries. That's 15.0 yards per carry. He also caught 23 passes for 590 yards (25.7 average) and eight touchdowns. On defense, Vosika had 27 tackles (19 solo), three interceptions, seven passes defended and an interception return for a score in the Section 5A championship game. On special teams, Vosika averaged 28.9 yards per return and scored a touchdown on kickoffs. He averaged 12.9 yards per return on punts. In total, Vosika had 2,722 all-purpose yards and 39 touchdowns. He was named District MVP for the second straight season. He was also All-District for the fourth straight year and District Special Teams Player of the Year. He also nabbed state honors as a Mr. Football finalist and a member of the 2024 Minnesota High School Football All-State Team. Vosika is BOLD's all-time leader in career rushing yards (5,800), rushing yards per attempt (10.8) and rushing touchdowns (83). According to the Minnesota Football Coaches Association's records, Vosika is seventh in state history in career rushing yards and seventh in all-purpose yards (8,514). According to the Minnesota State High School League's records, Vosika is second in career rushing touchdowns and second in most total touchdowns (108). "Hudson has speed, strength, balance, vision, great hands and he is tough," said BOLD head coach Derek Flann. "He has been a difference maker for us over the past five seasons. He had 13 touchdowns this year of over 50 yards and nine over 70 yards. He has rewritten the career rushing record books at BOLD over the past four years. He is a complete football player and as talented a kid with the ball in his hands as I have coached in my 21 years. He also played great in big games, averaging over 100 yards per game vs. Minneota for his career." Defensive line Sr., BOLD BOLD's leader in the trenches is an All-Area pick for the second straight season. In his senior season, Flann finished with 63 tackles (23 solo). He also had seven sacks, 14 tackles for loss and 12 QB hurries. On offense, he didn't allow a sack and was a lead blocker on an offense that averaged 328 rushing yards and 465 total yards per game. Flann was named District Offensive Lineman of the Year for the second straight season and is a four-time All-District pick. He holds BOLD's school records for most tackles for loss in a career (38), is second in sacks (21.5), third in solo tackles (116) and fourth in total tackles (286). "Owen was our smallest offensive lineman this year at 210 pounds, but he has also been our top offensive lineman over the past two years," said Warriors head coach Derek Flann. "His work ethic really sets him apart. His feet never stop moving on offense and he is constantly getting downfield to pick up extra blocks. He has not allowed a sack in the past two years. Defensively, he has finished in the top four on the team in tackles in each of the past four seasons and was our leading tackler from the defensive tackle position this year despite being double teamed on most plays. He has a great first step, he reads blocks extremely well, and he does a great job using his hands and releasing from blocks to make plays." Sr., Minnewaska Kaiden Harvey's abilities up front were important to Minnewaska's run to the Section 6AAA championship game. Harvey capped off his senior season with 25 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, three sacks, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown. He was named the District Defensive Lineman of the Year. Sr., Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg Aaron Jones made it routine to drop opposing players behind the line of scrimmage. The 6-3, 210-pound defensive end recorded 68 tackles, including 18 tackles for loss. He also accounted for four sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He set school records for sacks/tackles for loss in a season and for a career (29 TFL, 11 sacks, 40 total). Jones was a two-time All-District pick and a four-time District All-Academic pick. Linebacker Sr., Litchfield A three-year starter at linebacker, Ethan Holtz was picked as the District Linebacker MVP after recording 84 tackles. Four of those tackles were for loss. He also finished with three quarterback sacks and three fumble recoveries. Holtz was a two-time All-District selection. "Ethan was a tremendous defensive player over the last three years," said Dragons head coach Jim Jackman. "He has the ability to play as a middle backer and an outside backer on the line of scrimmage coming off the edge. He also has tremendous ball skills to cover players in space. Ethan did not come off the field for this team. He was a menace to opposing teams on our kickoff team." Sr., New London-Spicer Braden Long finished as the key run stopper for New London-Spicer. Named All-District and the District Linebacker MVP, Long had 55 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and an interception. Long was also in the Wildcats' running back rotation, finishing with 113 carries for 638 yards (5.6 yards per carry) and 11 touchdowns. He also caught two passes for 15 yards and a TD. "If you were to create an ideal LB or RB, it would be Braden Long," said NLS head coach Brian Westby. "He is a tough physical football player that plays hard every play. Defensively he is smart and an athletic linebacker who is tenacious in tackling the ball carrier. As a running back he has the rare ability to run away from would-be tacklers, juke them out and run them over. It is very rare to see one person tackle Braden; it usually takes multiple tacklers to bring him down. Braden is a smart football player and was able to pick up a new offensive system and flourish in it." Sr., Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg Jett Olson makes his second straight appearance on the All-Area team. The 5-10, 185-pound outside linebacker had 62 tackles, including 33 solo and six tackles for loss. He also had a fumble recovery. Playing running back for the Fighting Saints' offense, Olson ran for 1,328 yards and 16 touchdowns on 176 carries. He also had 11 catches for 246 yards and three touchdowns en route to being named District Running Back of the Year. He is a two-time All-District pick and a three-time District All-Academic selection. He was named team co-MVP and was named the team's hardest worker for the second straight year. Olson will resume his football career at linebacker at Division II Southwest Minnesota State University. Defensive back Sr., Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Making the All-Area team for the second year in a row is Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa defensive back Brett DeRoo. The District Defensive Back of the Year tallied 65 tackles (eight tackles for loss), one sack, two interceptions and a fumble recovery. The 6-3 senior was also the Jaguars' top receiver with 27 catches for 411 yards and eight touchdowns. He also ran for 188 yards and a score on 34 carries. "Brett is always locked on to opposing number one receivers," said BBE head coach Chris Moscho. "He does not give up many catches or yards. We will put him at linebacker on run-heavy teams. Brett plays wherever best suits the team that week. He is always coming up with big tackles and big plays when we need it. Brett was on every team's radar this season; they had to know where Brett was. He is a playmaker. Brett has a couple college visits. We can expect to see Brett playing somewhere next season at the college level." Sr., BOLD Jack Gross also makes a return to the All-Area team as a defensive back. A three-time All-District pick, Gross finished with 29 tackles (14 solo), one interception and one pass defended from the safety position. The starting quarterback for the Warriors, Gross completed 60 of 116 passes for 1,170 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. He ran for 417 yards and five touchdowns on 47 carries. He was also the Warriors' kicker, going 22 of 24 on point-after attempts. "On defense, Jack has played safety since the middle of his junior year," said BOLD head coach Derek Flann. "He covers a lot of ground in the back end of our defense. He was also very valuable in special teams. He punted for us at times and was very effective when asked to punt. He kicked off for the past three years and generated a lot of touchbacks with deep kicks. Finally, successfully converted 86.5% of PAT over 4 seasons and was over 90% in his junior and senior years. ... Jack has been a key part of our offense for four years. As our running game took a step forward this year, and Jack battled through an injury in the middle of the season, what we asked of Jack in our passing game took a step back in the middle of the season. Jack was explosive as a runner the last two seasons and threw the ball well at the same time. He is a very smart kid that does a really good job of running our system." Special teams So., Litchfield The youngest player on the All-Area team, Anthony Taylor was named the District Special Teams MVP. Taylor returned a kickoff for a touchdown. After making the starting lineup at linebacker as a freshman, Taylor moved to running back. He ran for a school record 1,456 rushing yards, including a school record 359 yards in the Dragons' Week 6 win against Watertown-Mayer. Taylor scored 17 rushing TDs on 212 attempts. He also caught two passes for 35 yards and a touchdown. "The Dragons went to a platoon system and Anthony became the bell cow," said Litchfield head coach Jim Jackman. "Anthony has good size at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds. He has good speed and the ability to break tackles. A tough kid that can run between the tackles, and get to the outside."

Investing $5,000 in the stock market can be both exciting and daunting, especially when considering the diverse opportunities available on the . To make informed decisions, it’s essential to examine recent earnings, past performance, and future outlooks of potential investments. Let’s delve into three notable stocks, ( ), ( ), and ( ). CNQ CNQ stands as one of Canada’s largest oil and gas producers, with operations spanning Western Canada, the U.K. portion of the North Sea, and Offshore Africa. In the third quarter of 2024, CNQ reported adjusted net earnings from operations of $0.97 per share, surpassing analysts’ expectations of $0.90. However, the Canadian stock faced a 4.7% decline in natural gas production, leading to a 2% drop in overall production to 1.36 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. This was attributed to a significant 55.5% drop in realized natural gas prices, prompting CNQ to reduce its planned natural gas well drilling for the year. Despite these challenges, CNQ’s diversified portfolio and strategic operations have historically enabled it to effectively navigate market volatilities. Looking forward, the Canadian stock’s commitment to maintaining a strong balance sheet and its strategic investments in sustainable energy projects position it well to adapt to the evolving landscape. Magna Magna is a leading global automotive supplier, providing a wide range of products and services to automakers worldwide. As of writing, Magna revised its annual sales and profit forecasts downward, citing expectations of lower vehicle production and weakened demand in the auto industry. The Canadian stock adjusted its 2024 sales expectations to between $42.2 billion and $43.2 billion, down from the previous estimate of $42.5 billion to $44.1 billion. Plus, the full-year adjusted profit forecast was cut to a range of $1.45 billion to $1.55 billion, from an earlier estimate of $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion. In the third quarter, Magna reported adjusted earnings of $1.28 per share, falling short of analysts’ expectations of $1.40, with sales totalling $10.28 billion. These adjustments reflect broader challenges within the automotive sector, including supply chain disruptions and fluctuating consumer demand. Nonetheless, Magna’s extensive product portfolio and strategic partnerships position it to capitalize on emerging trends. These include the shift towards vehicles, which could drive future growth. Shopify Shopify established itself as a powerhouse in the e-commerce sector, providing a comprehensive platform for businesses to set up and manage online stores. In the third quarter 2024, Shopify reported a 26% year-over-year increase in revenue, reaching $2.16 billion – plus a significant rise in gross merchandise volume to $69.72 billion. The Canadian stock also achieved a net income of $828 million, up from $718 million in the same quarter the previous year. For the fourth quarter, Shopify anticipates revenue growth in the mid- to high-20% range, slightly above analysts’ expectations of 23% growth. This performance underscores Shopify’s ability to scale profitably while maintaining operational leverage and growth potential. The Canadian stock’s focus on expanding its global footprint and enhancing its platform capabilities positions it well in the burgeoning e-commerce sector, appealing to investors seeking exposure to technology-driven growth. Bottom line When considering these investment options, it’s crucial to align your choices with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Diversifying your portfolio across different sectors can help mitigate risks and capitalize on various growth opportunities. Remember, thorough research and a long-term perspective are key to successful investing.Phishing Alert: Fake Facebook Emails Seek Business Account Details – 5 Safety Tips
