Is Outlook down? Thousands of Microsoft 365 users report outage issuesThe Rick Campbell era has ended while the Ryan Rigmaiden era has begun. The B.C. Lions introduced Rigmaiden as the football club’s new general manager at a press conference at the team’s Surrey practice facility on Wednesday, and at the same time, announced that they had parted ways with head coach Rick Campbell after four seasons and that Neil McEvoy was moving from the co-GM position that he shared with Campbell to the newly-created title of Vice President of Football Operations. As , the club moved quickly to elevate Rigmaiden from his previous role of Assistant General Manager and Director of U.S. Scouting in an effort to retain the 45-year-old native of Spokane, Washington. Rigmaiden was the Lions Director of U.S. Scouting from 2013 to 2017 before leaving to join the Winnipeg Blue Bombers organization. He returned in 2020 and has been responsible for bringing in import talent such as Sione Teuhema, Josh Banks, Alexander Hollins, Manny Rugamba, Jarell Broxton, Josh Woods and Kent Perkins to the Lions. His first task as general manager will be to find a new head coach. “The head coaching search is going to start immediately. There are several coaches that are currently unemployed that we are going to talk to. We also have several here internally that we will interview as well and then get permission (from other teams) for a handful of others,” said Rigmaiden, who becomes the 17th general manager in club history. There are approximately “eight to 10” candidates that the club will interview via ZOOM calls over the next week to 10 days, with that number being whittled down to three or four finalists who will then be interviewed in person. The front-runner for the head coaching position is former Lions quarterback Buck Pierce, who has been with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers organization since 2014 in various coaching capacities and has held the title of offensive coordinator since 2020. Other candidates include former Hamilton head coach Orlondo Steinauer, former Winnipeg and Ottawa head coach Paul LaPolice, former B.C. and Hamilton defensive coordinator Mark Washington and former Calgary special teams coordinator Mark Kilam as well as internal candidates that include offensive coordinator Jordan Maksymic and defensive coordinator Ryan Phillips, who is the only assistant from last year’s staff still under contract. The organization has no timeline in terms of naming a head coach and both Rigmaiden and McEvoy stressed that this will not be a rushed decision. That being said, there has to be some urgency as the new head coach will need time to assemble his own staff moving forward. Rigmaiden has set out three criteria that his hire will have to meet. “Leadership, accountability and toughness. I think those are essential for any head coach no matter what sport you are talking about. That’s going to be something that we emphasize,” replied Rigmaiden when queried on the subject. Rigmaiden hopes the new coach will be able to get the Lions to play with some edge. “The biggest thing I see is our lack of ability to overcome adversity on the field. There is a lack of mental toughness on this team. Internally, we have all been discussing that after last season. There are a variety of reasons why that happens. Instilling a new head coach with some different ideas and different values is going to be the biggest part of that,” said Rigmaiden. Another pressing item on his agenda will be trading quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. and there has already been an organizational shift in philosophy in how that will be dealt with moving forward. “He (Adams Jr.) will not have a say in this process. We are going to do what’s best for the club but we are going to be in constant communication with him,” said Rigmaiden, walking back a promise that Campbell made as co-gm that Adams Jr. would be consulted in trade talks. Rigmaiden added that it was strictly a business call, referring to his solid relationship with Adams Jr. going back to the time when Adams Jr. was a 19-year-old at Eastern Washington University, and that the process would begin immediately by “calling two or three teams” on Monday night. * The natural landing spot for Campbell is Edmonton. As we mentioned last week, new Edmonton owner Larry Thompson wants to reconnect the Elks to the history and tradition of the Eskimos. He already has hired Chris Morris as the Elks president and then followed that up by signing Ed Hervey as the Elks general manager. Morris played 14 years for the Eskimos while Hervey suited up for eight seasons with the green and gold. Hiring Campbell would be a natural fit seeing how his father Hugh coached the Eskimos to five straight Grey Cups from 1978 to 1982. Hervey also hired Campbell in B.C. during his stint as the Lions general manager. * As for the Lions assistant coaches, Phillips could be reunited with former teammate Dave Dickenson as the defensive coordinator for the Calgary Stampeders if things don’t work out in B.C. Meanwhile, Edmonton has asked the Lions for permission to speak to Maksymic about their head coaching vacancy. In other news, linebackers coach Travis Brown has interviewed for the defensive coordinators position in Ottawa but could follow Campbell to Edmonton if the Ottawa job falls through as the two have history together going back to Brown’s playing days as a RedBlack. * With Hervey leaving as Tiger-Cats general manager, former Lions quarterback Danny McManus becomes the leading candidate to replace him in Hamilton. McManus, who led the Leos to a Grey Cup in 1994, has been with Winnipeg since 2013 as the club’s assistant general manager and director of U.S. scouting. McManus was also the quarterback for Hamilton when they last won the Grey Cup in 1999 and is revered in The Hammer. Other candidates include former UBC head coach Ted Goveia, who is the Bombers assistant GM and director of player personnel and a pair of Canadians working as scouts in the NFL in Vince Magri (Buffalo) and Chris Rossetti (New York Giants). Magri and Rossetti both spent time with the Toronto organization before going south.

The code-hopping superstar avoided breaking his right arm in the bone-shuddering hit he put on fellow Aussie Sione Tuipulotu, Scotland’s captain, in the first half of the Wallabies’ defeat at Murrayfield, and the pain of the knock is subsiding. “After making a tackle yesterday, Joseph Suaalii lost function and had severe pain in his right arm and was substituted,” a team statement from Dublin said. “Since full time and after travelling with the team to Ireland, his function is returning, and pain is subsiding. “He was medically reviewed post-game and there is no evidence of a fracture and will be monitored throughout the week.” Of course, there’s no question that coach Joe Schmidt would risk playing Rugby Australia’s $5 million man if there is any possibility of causing any serious long-term damage in the tour finale at Lansdowne Road on Saturday (Sunday AEDT), so his chances may still be slim with such a short turnaround between Tests. But after initial reports the 21-year-old had suffered a broken wrist at Murrayfield, an outcome that could have kept his rugby education on ice for another two months, this counted as a real boost following the deflation of the end of their “grand slam” hopes in Edinburgh with the 27-13 defeat. NRL convert Suaalii had begun the tour in spectacular fashion, starting at outside centre in the thrilling win over England and annexing the man-of-the-match award in his first game of rugby since he was a schoolboy. He then enjoyed a late cameo off the bench in the hammering of Wales, before making a promising start for half an hour against the Scots with a couple of good runs, causing another touch of aerial mayhem at a restart and defending fairly stoutly. The thunderous tackle that sent Tuipulotu flying caused the problem, and also led to the pair exchanging angry words, before Suaalii had to come straight off and never returned as he nursed a numb arm. There was some more good news for the tourists as lock Jeremy Williams, who had been ruled out of Scotland match on the morning of the Test with illness, was reported to be “recovering positively” in the Irish capital. As their bruised squad began their tough six-day turnaround before the showpiece fixture against Schmidt’s former charges, Ireland, senior player Allan Alaalatoa revealed the depth of their disappointment at how their crack at becoming the first Wallabies side in 40 years to do the British Isles sweep had crumbled. “The feeling in there was tough, like no one said a word,” said the prop, who captained the side in the win over Wales. “You could see the body language of the boys straight after the game because there had been real belief that we could win the grand slam, and that came through the way that we’d prepared throughout the whole year, and the way that the whole squad has contributed. “So that’s footy, and it wasn’t our night, but we can’t be holding on to that game, we’ve got to be able to push forward against Ireland. “It’s very important to finish strongly as they’ve been either No.1 or No.2 in the world for a while now. “To come away with three wins to one loss would be awesome for our group.”
Jo McAlister has been appointed as the new CEO of Initiative Australia , succeeding from Melissa Fein who left the agency earlier this year with Sam Geer and Chris Colter for The Monkeys. McAlister’s appointment heralds a new era of leadership for the agency. She will announce her expanded leadership team shortly. Mark Coad , CEO of IPG Mediabrands Australia, said from the outset he committed to taking the time to carefully canvas the industry nationally and globally in order to find the best person for this pivotal role, which made it all the more gratifying to have found the ideal person already firmly ensconced at the agency. Coad said: “Jo is a highly regarded leader with a strong people-first leadership style, a track record of managing large clients in complex market categories and proven success in data and technology-driven media innovation and marketing. She not only knows Initiative from the inside out – its people, its culture and its clients – but she also has a strong vision for the agency’s future and is eager to set the agenda to drive the next era of Initiative. “The agency has dug deep this year to solidify its positioning as the cultural experience agency, with award-winning work client across multiple markets. Jo has driven the new direction which makes me even more delighted to see her take on this key role, and I look forward to working alongside her and building on Initiative’s longstanding success.” McAlister first joined IPG more than five years ago, leading Rufus (Powered by Initiative) to support Amazon as a new market entrant to achieve significant, sustained sales growth before taking on the role of managing director of Initiative Sydney in 2019. Under her leadership, the Sydney office has won and retained many key clients, including Sanitarium, Fantastic Furniture, Pernod Ricard, Goodman Fielder, Salesforce and IAG. Prior to IPG, McAlister held several senior client-side marketing positions at Foxtel, NBCS, SBS and Seven, the most recent as Content Marketing Director at Foxtel, where she helped produce Cannes Lion-winning work on the final series of Game of Thrones. Throughout her media and client-side career, McAlister has been recognised for her commitment to building strong, high-performing teams, her experience as a former client uniquely positions her to navigate client challenges, which has shaped her approach as a trusted partner and leader. She is known for challenging the status quo to deliver more effective solutions for clients driving sustainable growth and better consumer experiences. Newly appointed CEO Jo McAlister said: “I am honoured to take on this important role and excited about what the future holds for Initiative, our incredibly talented team and our driven clients. I have experienced first-hand the culture of innovation and collaboration that leads to exceptional client work, and I look forward to building on that with my colleagues, collaborating with our many industry partners, and driving significant outcomes for our loyal clients. With my previous client experience I know how to think like a client which underpins my approach and leadership style. “I would also like to acknowledge Initiative’s previous leadership team whom I collaborated closely with for nearly five years, they have left a strong and solid foundation for me to build a new era for the agency. I cannot wait to get started as I am bursting with ideas and new initiatives.” Coad concluded: “As an agency Initiative often says to its team that they will do the best work of their career at Initiative, and as a result their career will flourish ; this mantra has proven true for Jo.” – Top image: Jo McAlisterChris Kondrich wasn’t shocked to learn a sinkhole had opened a street away from his Upper Marguerite home in Unity. A former firefighter and longtime hazardous materials volunteer, Kondrich said he has seen plenty of mine-subsidence incidents. Kondrich lives on Lemmon Road, about a quarter-mile away from where Elizabeth Pollard, 64, of Unity, is believed to have been swallowed by a sinkhole Monday evening . She remained missing Wednesday evening. The woods surrounding the sinkhole show evidence of smaller mine collapses, Kondrich said. “You’ll just be walking and you’ll see ... a big circle 20 feet in diameter that’s sunk 5 feet, grass and weeds growing on it,” he said. “That’s commonplace here.” Kondrich, 64, has paid for mine-subsidence insurance for his home for more than 30 years. The township surrounds Latrobe, and it’s located between Greensburg and Ligonier. Though it used to be made up of old coal mining towns, Kondrich said Unity is now mostly residential, but it still has a lot of agriculture. “I think there’s always a concern,” he said of having to purchase the insurance. “If they’re gonna sell it to you, that means there was mining done in your area and something like this is possible.” Pennsylvanians can check their address in Penn State’s online mine map atlas and the DEP’s mine subsidence insurance map to see if their property sits above abandoned mines. The sinkhole opened in a grassy area behind Monday’s Union Restaurant. Investigators believe Pollard drove to the parking lot behind the restaurant, spoke with two hunters, handed them a flyer about her missing cat and walked into in the adjacent field when a sinkhole opened beneath her. Unity’s mining history The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Mine Safety was dispatched to the scene early Tuesday. Officials said they suspect the sinkhole was caused by the abandoned Marguerite Mine, which was last operated by H.C. Frick Coke Co. in 1952. The coal seam is about 20 feet from the surface, spokesperson Lauren Camarda said. Westmoreland County is one of the state’s 29 counties where underground coal mining has occurred, she said. Merle Musick, building code official with Unity, said the former entrance to the Marguerite Mine was a dilapidated red building near the sinkhole. “Western Pennsylvania’s full of mines, and not all of them are mapped,” he said. “All these little towns, they sprung up — they’re called (coal) patch towns,” Kondrich said. Ongoing search Pollard was reported missing at 1 a.m. Tuesday, and crews have been working nonstop since about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday to locate her. A camera dropped into the sinkhole revealed a shoe about 25 feet below ground level. The search in the sinkhole paused briefly Wednesday until it was better stabilized, but Mike O’Barto, chairman of Unity supervisors, confirmed it has resumed. “Since then, they have stabilized the hole or the situation, and they are currently digging some of the dirt out,” he said. “I do know that they were going to use some different technology such as drones, such as imaging, to see if they can indeed find Elizabeth Pollard.” Kondrich arrived at Monday’s Union Restaurant around lunchtime Wednesday to deliver food for those working on the scene. “The incident took place here on the property of Monday’s restaurant, but it’s not their responsibility to feed us,” he said. His donation was 100 pieces of chicken from Giant Eagle, which joined the donuts, coffee, hoagies, pizza and other offerings already available for the responders. There hasn’t been an organized effort to supply the food and drinks or any sort of push via social media; Kondrich said people have just shown up to help without being asked. “I think it’s just the community sense of responsibility or sense of need to help that people want to do something,” Kondrich said. “The responders ... they need to eat, they need stuff to drink, they need to stay warm.” When Kondrich was on the scene Tuesday night into Wednesday, he said there were at least 120 people working. “Monday’s is being gracious opening up their establishment here for a warm place to sit and have something to eat,” he said. Prior to showing up with chicken, Kondrich asked the restaurant on Wednesday what people had already donated so as not to bring duplicates. “I actually stopped in and said, ‘What do you need?’” Kondrich said. “I would say the best thing to do is to call.” Mining concerns Unity was a longtime hotspot for coal mines, O’Barto said, and the sinkhole has caused a stir among residents. “There are a lot of people in the community that have concerns that if they live close — especially to an area that had coal mines at one time,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons why we need to look at these areas, so a situation like this never happens again.” The main course of action should be talking to Pennsylvania lawmakers and mine safety organizations, O’Barto said. “We have to get together with our state legislators to see what type of funding may be out there to prevent something like this from happening again,” he said. As a Unity homeowner, O’Barto said the situation concerns him personally. “There have been sinkholes before, and they were cases that would come up every so often, but never one where a person fell into one,” he said. “My heart goes out to the family.”Canada's financial intelligence agency aiming to provide crucial info in real time

No. 7 Tennessee outscored UT Martin by 28 points in the second half in routing the visiting Skyhawks 78-35 on Friday afternoon in Knoxville. Chaz Lanier scored a game-high 18 points for the Volunteers (7-0), who expanded on a 35-20 halftime lead with a 43-15 second half. Felix Okpara had 10 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks, helping Tennessee command the paint along with Igor Milicic, who added nine points and 13 rebounds. Zakai Zeigler nearly had a double-double with 11 points and nine assists. The Volunteers used their size to their advantage, outscoring UT Martin 36-10 in the paint and out rebounding the Skyhawks 49-24. That included 20 offensive rebounds for Tennessee, which led to 19 second-chance points. UT Martin (2-5) was cold coming out of the locker room after halftime, missing its first eight shots. Conversely, the Vols started the second half with a nine-point run to extend their lead to 24 points. The Vols never let the Skyhawks score consecutive baskets in the first half, holding UT Martin to 25 percent shooting (4 of 16) from beyond the arc and allowing a total of only three points from the starting five. For the game, guard Josue Grullon led UT Martin with 15 points. The leading scorer in the Ohio Valley Conference entering Friday at 18.2 points per game, Grullon has not started any game for head coach Jeremy Shulman. Most of the Skyhawks' points -- 28 of 35 -- came from their reserves. The starting five combined to score seven points -- six points from Matija Zuzic and a free throw for Lamine Niag. The starters went a combined 2 of 18 from the floor, while UT Martin as a team shot 22.6 percent (12 of 53) from the field. The Skyhawks made 5 of 7 free-throw attempts and made 18 turnovers. The Volunteers, who got 23 points off the bench, were 8-for-10 and had 11 turnovers. Tennessee improved to 6-0 all-time against UT Martin since 1993. --Field Level MediaTim Walz accepts turkey presentation as he eases back into his duties as Minnesota’s governorGlobal stocks mostly cheer Nvidia results as bitcoin gains
