Syria: how to rebuild a ‘corrupted narco-state’Iowa cornerback Jermari Harris has opted out of the remainder of the 2024 season in order to prepare for the NFL draft, according to a report by 247Sports.com . The 6-foot-1 sixth-year senior from Chicago has recorded 27 tackles, three interceptions and a team-high seven pass breakups in 10 games for the Hawkeyes this season. That includes a pick-6 in a 38-21 win over Troy earlier this season. Iowa (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) plays at Maryland on Saturday before closing out its regular season at home against Nebraska on Nov. 29. The Hawkeyes are already bowl eligible, so Harris is likely opting out of three games in total. After missing the entire 2022 season due to an ankle injury, Harris was suspended for two games of the following season for his involvement in the gambling investigation into Iowa athletics. He later emerged as the Hawkeyes' top cornerback, earning the team's comeback player of the year award after compiling 42 tackles, one interception and eight pass breakups. Harris will finish his college career with 105 tackles and eight interceptions. --Field Level Media

Citius Oncology, Inc. Reports Fiscal Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Provides Business UpdateTom Brady spent some quality time with his son Jack while playing golf. The retired NFL player took to his official instagram account on Friday to share a glimpse of his outing with his older son John "Jack" Edward Thomas. In the post, the father-son duo can be seen playing golf together, as the 17-year-old hits the ball while Bardy watches him standing aside. "Love this boy," the proud dad penned, adding, "Not sure about this game." It is pertinent to mention that Brady shares the teen with his ex Bridget Moynahan. Previously, Brady gushed over Jack's Athletic prowess and also confessed that he enjoys the teen's company. In the celebratory post uploaded in August, Brady wrote while wishing him his 17th birthday, "Your love of family, friends, school, athletics, hard work, and dedication to everything you put your energy into are just some of your amazing qualities." "I love spending every minute with you and I cherish our time together. (Those are all my favorite things about you. My least favorite is that you can beat me in one on one now," he added.
Kenny Atkinson , take a bow. The Cavaliers’ new head coach just got his first hardware of the season, named NBA Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for October and November. And honestly? Well-deserved. The guy’s been nothing short of a maestro, leading Cleveland to a ridiculous 18-3 start, tops in the league. Atkinson isn’t one to hog the spotlight, though. Before Thursday’s game against the Wizards, he was quick to deflect credit, calling his team “99% of the reason” for the success. “This is a roster that’s talented, that has great continuity and it’s together,” Atkinson said. “It makes my job a lot easier.” Let’s be real, though — coaching a team to a franchise-best 15-0 start isn’t just about rolling the ball out there. Atkinson’s system has clicked instantly, blending the likes of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland with a rising force in Evan Mobley . And, oh yeah, those 15 straight wins? The longest streak to open a season in Cavaliers history and tied for the second-best start ever in the NBA. Not bad company to keep. Cleveland’s dominance isn’t just in the win column. They’re lighting it up offensively, leading the league in points per game (122.4), field goal percentage (.511), and three-point shooting (.402). So far, it’s been modern basketball nirvana. Sprinkle in some defensive grit — they’re seventh in defensive rating — and you’ve got a team that’s looking like a legitimate title contender. Atkinson might be underselling his own impact, but let’s not. He’s pushed this group to levels we haven’t seen in Cleveland since the days of LeBron James . Six games scoring 130 or more points already? That’s a Cavs record. And with 60-something games left, who knows where this ceiling is. One thing’s clear: Cleveland is cooking, and Atkinson’s got all the right ingredients.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case. The filings come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute, leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”Wood Fencing Market Dynamics and Forecast Comprehensive Analysis of Market Trends and Growth 2024 - 2031
