Todd Grantham is leaving the staff of the NFL's Saints to become the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, New Orleans interim coach Darren Rizzi said Monday. Grantham has been defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns in the NFL and for Georgia, Louisville, Mississippi State and Florida at the college level. “He made the decision he wanted to get back into the college game," Rizzi said. “He’s obviously been a coordinator before at a couple of really good college programs. (Oklahoma State coach) Mike Gundy’s getting a great coach, and congratulations to Todd.” An Oklahoma State spokesperson would not comment on the situation. Grantham started this season as a defensive line coach for the Saints. After Rizzi took over following the firing of Dennis Allen, who’d previously overseen the defense, Grantham was moved into the role of senior defensive advisor so he could assist coordinator Joe Woods with the defensive game plan. “He’s done a heck of a job here behind scenes here with the defensive staff,” Rizzi said. “But it’s certainly a great opportunity for him.” Grantham will replace Bryan Nardo and take over a unit that gave up a Big 12-worst 500.6 yards per contest during a 3-9 season.

The move, announced in court papers, marks the end of the Justice Department’s landmark effort to hold Mr Trump accountable for what prosecutors called a criminal conspiracy to cling to power in the run-up to his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol on January 6 2021. In court papers, prosecutors said the Justice Department’s position “is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated”. Mr Smith’s team emphasised that the move to abandon the prosecutions, in federal courts in Washington and Florida, was not a reflection of their view on the merits of the cases but rather a reflection of their commitment to longstanding department policy. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing in the election interference case. The decision was expected after Mr Smith’s team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Mr Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Mr Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated and has vowed to fire Mr Smith as soon as he takes office in January. The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. However, it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Mr Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The US Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Mr Smith’s team filed a lengthy brief in October laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will over voters after he lost to President Joe Biden.Among the most prevalent mental health conditions currently are anxiety disorders, affecting millions around the globe. Starting from mild unease to dreadful fear, anxiety manifests itself in different forms and penetrates into the personal, social, and professional spheres of an individual's life. While sometimes experiencing anxiety is a natural reaction to pressure, chronic anxiety calls for attention and care. Identifying Anxiety Symptoms Anxiety is usually associated with excessive worry, restlessness, fatigue, and troubles concentrating or irritability. Other physical symptoms include a rapid heart rate, sweating, shaking, gastrointestinal problems, among many others. Prolonged existence of these symptoms that interfere with daily functioning can be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Triggers and Causes It is multifactorial and hence might be caused due to some combination of factors: genetic, environmental, and psychological. Anxiety can sometimes result from stressful life events or trauma, even a family history of anxiety. Sometimes, factors such as a lack of sleep, poor diet, too much screen time, may worsen it. Controlling Anxiety: Easy Tips Deep breathing exercises calm the nervous system and thus reduces one's anxiety. Try practicing the 4-7-8 method: breathe in for four counts and hold for seven and exhale for eight seconds. Regular Physical Activity: Vigorous activities release endorphins, which are the natural "feel-good" mood elevators. Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day, such as by walking, doing yoga, or swimming. Healthy Sleep Patterns: Follow a routine and provide your body and mind with good rest. Mindfulness and Meditation: Practice mindfulness in helping you live in the moment, cut down on excessive thinking and worrying. Limit Stimulants: Caffeine and alcohol can all actually make the anxiety worse. Seeking Professional Help If the self-help techniques employed are inappropriate then, proper psychiatric help should be taken. There are, of course, therapies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) that in actual fact work well for anxiety disorders. Medication shall only be used in the most extreme of cases and absolutely never on its own with therapy. Breaking the Stigma Open discussions of mental health will remove the stigma attached to anxiety. Experience and treatment of it must be ordinary to encourage most people in taking care of their psychological condition. With the right tools and support, anxiety can be something lived with; the earlier treatment begins, the sooner, letting people fulfilling lives.

The state of Nebraska has revoked the licenses of a nurse practitioner and registered nurse who was providing weight loss drugs to patients in states where she does not hold a license. The Nebraska Attorney General's Office also accused Andrea Meisinger of Weeping Water of meeting with patients through her business, AR Virtual Health, which advertises Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss, while her license was suspended. Dr. Timothy Tesmer, Nebraska's chief medical officer, revoked Meisinger's licenses on Nov. 20. According to a news release from the attorney general's office, Meisinger's Advanced Practice Registered Nurse license was suspended in May after she was accused of selling Tirzepatide without establishing a prior relationship with the patient. As part of that lawsuit, Meisinger was ordered to pay a $3,000 fine and was placed on probation for a year and directed not to engage in any activity that "constitutes the practice of APRN or nursing."

Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears hoped the first in-season head coaching change in the founding NFL franchise’s history would be the parachute a free-falling team needed. Turns out, the issues go beyond that. A listless showing in a 38-13 loss at San Francisco on Sunday stretched their losing streak to seven — and counting — in their first game since Thomas Brown replaced the fired Matt Eberflus on an interim basis . “I believe in the people," Brown said Monday. "I think it’s all about the guys we have in the locker room, the coaches that we have. I understand our mentality and our approach going forward. As I said at the beginning, we don’t have cowards in the locker room. We don’t have cowards in our coaching staff. Regardless of circumstance we will come to battle every single day.” The Bears (4-9) sure didn't show much fight Sunday in a loss that was as embarrassing as any. It ensured they will finish with a non-winning record for the 12th time in 14 seasons. They were outgained 319-4 in the first half for the ninth-largest discrepancy since 1991 and trailed 24-0 at the break. They managed one first down while punting on their first five possessions. Chicago set a season high for points allowed and matched its second-worst total by giving up 452 yards. It all added up to the Bears' most lopsided loss since a 41-10 blowout at Kansas City in Week 3 last season. It obviously wasn't what they envisioned when they decided to buck their own history and fire Eberflus on Nov. 29. The tipping point came at Detroit on Thanksgiving , when Chicago ran out of time for a potential tying field goal despite having one timeout remaining, just the latest in a string of bad late-game decisions. Beyond that, there are clearly issues with the roster. Though team president Kevin Warren said last week that Ryan Poles will remain the general manager and lead the search for a new coach , it's fair to wonder if a few more losses like this would change those plans. The last-place Bears' next two games are against the top two teams in the NFC North, with a Monday night game at Minnesota (11-2) followed by a home game against division-leading Detroit (12-1). Chicago then hosts NFC West leader Seattle (8-5) before the season finale at Green Bay (9-4). What’s working It's hard to say anything worked when the Bears were so thoroughly dominated. What needs help Offensive line. The Bears were once again dominated in the trenches and allowed rookie Caleb Williams to get sacked seven times, bringing his league-leading total to 56. It's the most for a Chicago quarterback since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Yes, Williams hangs onto the ball too long at times. But too often, the blockers aren't giving him enough time. They're not creating holes for the running backs, either. Things were particularly bad against San Francisco. And that was against a defense missing the injured Nick Bosa. Stock up LB T.J. Edwards. The veteran recorded Chicago's lone sack and his second of the season to go with two tackles for loss. He led the team with 10 tackles. Stock down Williams. The No. 1 overall draft pick completed 17 of 34 passes for 134 yards with two late touchdowns to Rome Odunze. Though he played his seventh straight game without an interception, he lost a fumble. In the first three games with Brown calling plays after former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron was fired, Williams was 75 of 117 for 827 yards with five touchdowns, no interceptions and a rating of 99.2. Injuries Brown had no update on returner DeAndre Carter (hamstring) and RB Travis Homer (head) after they left Sunday's game. Key number 20 — The defense allowed nine plays of 20 yards or more, the most against Chicago in the past nine seasons. Next steps The Bears have a tough task trying to right themselves at Minnesota. The Vikings have won six straight, including an overtime victory at Soldier Field in Week 12, after Chicago scored 11 points in the final 22 seconds of regulation. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
NoneFormer pro taps into Newcastle's basketball boom with coaching businessDENVER (AP) — A “series of inadvertent and unforeseen events” resulted in Colorado voting system passwords being posted on the Secretary of State’s website, an outside investigator said. A Denver attorney did not find any intentional wrongdoing by Secretary of State Jena Griswold or staff in her office, but said two policies were violated. Attorney Beth Doherty Quinn suggested in her report, dated Sunday, that the agency require a more thorough review of documents before they are posted on the secretary’s website and better protection of passwords. The passwords — “only some of which were still active,” Doherty Quinn said — were on hidden tabs in a spreadsheet containing information about county voting systems that was posted on the secretary’s website on June 21. The information had previously been posted as a PDF that could not be manipulated, but an employee suggested posting the information in a spreadsheet software in the interest of transparency. The hidden sheets were discovered on Oct. 24. The passwords were one of two needed to access components of the Colorado voting system, Griswold’s spokesperson Jack Todd has said. Griswold said it was not a security threat. The tabs that included the passwords had been hidden in a file kept by a former employee. None of the employees involved in posting the document online knew that hiding tabs was a feature of the software, the investigation found. The “substantial weight of the evidence” shows the hidden tabs with the passwords were posted “mistakenly, unknowingly and unintentionally,” because the employees involved were unaware the hidden worksheets existed, Doherty Quinn wrote in her report. Doherty Quinn recommended the office require all passwords to be stored using software called a “password safe,” and to create a checklist of things that need to be reviewed before something is posted on the website, including seeing if there are hidden tabs and removing any metadata.
