MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins were ready to deal veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline until Mike McDaniel stepped in. “I may or may not have thrown an adult temper tantrum,” Miami's coach said, confirming the news first reported by NFL Network Sunday morning. The Dolphins were 2-6 and had lost three straight at that point. They'd played four uninspired games without their starting quarterback, going 1-3 after Tua Tagovailoa went on injured reserve on Sept. 17 with a concussion. Campbell would have had a chance to rejoin the contending Ravens, and Miami would have received a 2026 fifth-round pick in return, NFL Network reported. McDaniel argued that Campbell was too valuable to lose. “I was happy that they brought me into the conversations," Campbell said after Miami's 34-15 win over the New England Patriots . “They didn't have to say anything to me at all. We had a really good conversation about what we think about this team, where we are. We felt like we had a good shot to get back into the fight.” Added McDaniel: “I think it wasn’t like it was (GM) Chris (Grier) versus me. ... That’s the tricky thing about Chris’ job is he has to look long-term and short-term at the same time, what’s the best for the organization.” Campbell, a 17-year veteran, signed with the Dolphins after playing for Atlanta last season. Players and coaches have praised the 38-year-old's contributions on the field and in the locker room. “There’s no one’s game I’ve come to respect more than Calais up front on the D-line,” defensive tackle Zach Sieler said, “being with him this year and just the energy, the attitude and the mindset he brings every week. It can’t be matched, and that’s the reason why he is who he is today and doing what he’s doing at 17 years.” Campbell leads the team with four sacks. With back-to-back sacks in Weeks 10 and 11, he became the eighth player 38 or older to record sacks in consecutive games since the 1970 merger. He also has nine tackles for loss, giving him at least five tackles for loss in 15 of his 17 seasons. He played for Baltimore from 2020-2022, totaling 11 sacks and 113 tackles. “I think he means a great deal to not only the defensive line room, but the entire defense as well as the entire team,” McDaniel said earlier this week. “It’s rare for a guy to get here when he did, and then be voted, with such conviction, captain. I think the way that he operates to be a pro, I think has had a substantial impact on a lot of players that hadn’t been fortunate enough to be around someone with sustained success like he’s had.” The Dolphins have won three straight games since the deadline. Miami's defense held the Patriots scoreless until the fourth quarter on Sunday. Campbell broke down the team's pregame huddle as he has done before most games this season. He was also seen coaching up rookie linebacker Chop Robinson, who is always seeking pointers from the six-time Pro Bowler. “My job is to speak on behalf of what’s the best thing for the 2024 Dolphins,” McDaniel said. “I’m just fortunate to work in an organization where myself and the GM can be transparent and work together. “And he didn’t want to see any more adult temper tantrums.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLBut it's not just about the music for Harlow and Marresca.

NEW YORK , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global Market Intelligence has released a report today highlighting the convergence in public and private credit markets. The newly published Public and Private Markets Outlook: Converging on Credit is part of S&P Global Market Intelligence's Big Picture 2025 Outlook Report Series. In this new report, S&P Global Market Intelligence's capital markets analysts highlight how public and private credit markets have become increasingly intertwined in 2024, and why we expect this trend to continue in 2025. Public debt markets have grown, but not at the expense of the $1.5 trillion private markets, which continue their rapid expansion. " It may be no coincidence that the fall in Credit Default Swap (CDS) credit events aligns with the growth in provision of private credit. Many companies now have recourse to lines of credit from private sources to an extent not seen in previous cycles. This trend is likely to continue in 2025 but may raise questions about the transparency and measurement of credit risk in private credit funds, where the exposure is ultimately shifted," said Gavan Nolan , Executive Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Send questions to wilnerhotline@bayareanewsgroup.com and include ‘mailbag’ in the subject line. Or hit me on the social media platform X: @WilnerHotline Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity. As a hardcore Husky, I don't have an issue with your more critical stance on Washington this season. I can take the purple shades off from time to time. With that, what's your take on the overall trajectory of the football program? — @cargoman0363 A: The Hotline has been critical of Washington this season, and we are reminded of our position by fans on a daily basis. (That's a good thing. We value the feedback and should be held accountable by readers.) Some context on that issue before we assess the "overall trajectory of the program" as requested: • Our bar for the Huskies on an annual basis is high. Washington isn't one of the sport's true blue bloods. It's not on the same tier as Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Notre Dame and USC, for instance. But it's clearly deserving of a spot in the top 15, for instance. How many programs have appeared in multiple College Football Playoffs since the event made its debut in 2014? Eight. (Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame and Washington.) How many teams participated in the New Year's Six bowl games at least four times over the decade? Twelve. (The eight listed above plus Penn State, Oregon, Florida State and Mississippi.) That is select company, indeed. Those programs should be held to a high standard. In our view, the floor for UW is six wins — even under difficult circumstances, like a coaching change — and that's where things stand currently. • The Hotline's 40,000-foot view of the state-of-affairs on Montlake begins at the top. We believe the Huskies have been held back by a campus administration that simply doesn't value athletic success — and football success in particular — to the degree it should. Put another way: President Ana Mari Cauce has never gone all-in on football. Why that is, we cannot say. If she fears that a next-level commitment to football could somehow undermine the university's reputation, well, there is no evidence to support that position. Does an all-in approach to football hurt Michigan's academic reputation? Last we checked, the Wolverines were No. 21 in the U.S. News and World Report rankings that are so important to university presidents. (Texas and Florida are tied for 30th. Ohio State is 41st.) Washington (No. 46) is a terrific school. That won't change if the Huskies pay their head coach $10 million annually. In fact, football success can enhance a school's academic reputation by increasing the national profile, which attracts more applicants, drives down the acceptance rate and can, if desired, increase the number of full-tuition (out-of-state) students. • One final point: Fans often view our weekly picks against the spread as signs of criticism or validation, depending on the pick. That's reading far too much into the situation. If the Hotline picks against the Huskies, it doesn't mean we are anti-UW and pro-opponent. (The reverse is true, as well.) We aren't anti-anyone or pro-anyone. The fact that Washington fans think we hate the Huskies and love the Ducks and Oregon fans think we hate the Ducks and love the Huskies indicates we are probably in the right space with our coverage. Now, two quick thoughts on the Huskies specific to the 2024 season. First, Indiana is making most Big Ten teams, including Washington, look bad. The Hoosiers are undefeated with a first-year coach, Curt Cignetti, and a starting lineup stocked with players from the Group of Five. Washington head coach Jedd Fisch watches from the sideline during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Iowa, Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024, in Iowa City, Iowa. Cignetti led James Madison to 11 wins last season and brought a slew of players with him to Bloomington, including Indiana's leading receiver and top tackler. His quarterback, Kurtis Rourke, played for Ohio in 2023. And yet the Hoosiers, picked 17th in the Big Ten preseason poll published by Cleveland.com , are not only 10-0 but beat Washington by two touchdowns with their backup quarterback. Sure, former UA coach Jedd Fisch and his staff arrived relatively late in the offseason cycle (January), and yes, the Huskies lost most of their lineup to the transfer portal and the NFL. But Indiana is proof that roster turnover and coaching changes aren't immovable blocks of granite preventing teams from competing for the Big Ten title. (And for the record: Yes, Indiana is making USC and Michigan look much worse than Washington.) Second, Washington's schedule isn't what we expected. Indiana is exponentially better than anyone could have imagined. But had you told the Hotline prior to the season that the Wolverines and Trojans would be 5-5 at this point, and that Iowa would be 6-4, we would have fully expected the Huskies to win at least seven games. With respect to our broader outlook for the program, the central issue is best framed as a question: Do we expect the Huskies to compete regularly for the Big Ten title alongside Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Oregon? (There's no sign that USC belongs on that tier, but the Trojans are certainly capable of reaching it.) In all candor, we aren't convinced. We aren't convinced that Fisch and his staff are up to the challenge. (They could be. It's simply too early to know either way.) We aren't convinced the school and its constituents will deliver the necessary NIL support to fund talent acquisitions. We aren't convinced the next president — Cauce is stepping down in June — will provide the needed institutional commitment. And we aren't convinced the athletic department's financial challenges, which include both the current debt load and the partial revenue distributions from the conference for the rest of the decade, are surmountable in a manner that will allow UW to plow the requisite resources into football. So yes, we are slightly more skeptical than optimistic. And if the Hotline is proven wrong, then 1) it certainly wouldn't be the first time, and 2) good for the Huskies. Much has been made of the flaws in the Big Ten's TV deal, specifically the exclusive windows that box out the four West Coast schools from the Fox 'Big Noon' broadcast. Could we see the deal renegotiated, or is this the circumstance until 2030? — Will The Hotline would argue that none of the 14 continuing members have the right to complain since they voted to accept the media deal and add the West Coast quartet. The same goes for Washington, Oregon, USC and UCLA: Nobody involved in the two-phase decision to join the Big Ten has the grounds to utter a peep of frustration about the media deal. That said, I am not sure anything can be done about getting more exposure for the West Coast schools because they aren't going to play home games at 9 a.m., and Fox isn't moving its premier window out of the 12 p.m. Eastern slot. Can the conference work with Fox, CBS and NBC to tweak certain aspects of the media deal? Sure. That happens all the time. The networks and the conferences are partners, which means they must work to find common ground on certain issues. But the media companies make decisions based on what's best for their business. Sometimes, that conflicts with what's best for the schools and the fans. If Fox wants Ohio State at 'Big Noon' on a regular basis because the Buckeyes are a ratings machine, for example, there isn't much Ohio State can do. Such is the price for selling your soul. Will the SEC ever be “penalized” for playing an extra cupcake each season? The eight-game conference schedule practically guarantees one less loss for half the teams. Sure, the CFP selection committee says strength-of-schedule makes a big difference, but I’m not buying that the extra losses wouldn’t make a difference, too. — RT A: Well, the committee has done a poor job of walking the walk on strength-of-schedule considering where it has placed teams like No. 3 Texas, No. 4 Penn State and No. 5 Indiana relative to No. 10 Georgia, which has two losses but the toughest schedule in the country. But to your specific point: The SEC paid no price for the eight-game conference schedule during the four-team CFP era, which allows for a cupcake opponent in November, so why would it pay a price now? We suspect the schools will add a ninth game if ESPN makes it worthwhile by increasing the value of the media rights package. (The conference certainly won't agree to add eight losses to its season total for free!) Exactly when that point comes is anyone's guess. The other consideration is a potential scheduling agreement between the SEC and Big Ten, which the conferences have discussed but is merely in the formative stages. That, too, would materialize for the right price from the networks. Sam Acho pointed out on ESPN that Missouri’s unchanged ranking is used to artificially inflate SEC résumés. Why doesn’t the CFP do a blind ranking based off data? There is obvious favoritism. All the conferences should be judged off their data. — @mlondo856 A: Missouri has no wins over ranked teams, but all three of its losses are to teams in the CFP's Top 25: Alabama, Texas A&M and South Carolina. The Tigers are a borderline case, but there are others (e.g., Illinois). Essentially, you are advocating for the elimination of the selection committee, which takes subjective factors (the so-called "eye test") into consideration, and for leaving the process to a computer. The Big Ten and SEC have discussed exactly that. Both conferences worry the committee will place too much emphasis on win-loss records and victory margin at the expense of schedule strength. In other words: They are concerned one-loss teams from the ACC or Big 12 will receive at-large berths instead of multi-loss teams from the Big Ten and SEC. That's one of several reasons this season's selection process is so critical to the event's future. If the Big Ten and SEC don't get what they want on Dec. 8, they will change the format in a manner that gives them more inherent advantages than already exist. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty (2) scores a touchdown during the second half of an NCAA college football game against San Jose State, Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024, in San Jose, Calif. You mentioned that Boise State's success could make the new Pac-12 more attractive for possible expansion candidates, perhaps including some schools that appear unavailable. Can you expand on those schools that appear unavailable, as well as any other options? — @CelestialMosh A: Boise State on the football side and Gonzaga and San Diego State in men's basketball provide the rebuilt Pac-12 with tentpole programs that other schools would want to associate with for competitive and financial reasons. Our default view is to ignore any public commitments made by schools to their conferences because we don't know the details of the private (i.e., legal) commitments. There could very well be escape clauses allowing the schools to leave for the right price or if their own media deal isn't secured by a certain time. Realignment is all about schools saying one thing and doing another. Our suggestion: Ignore everything you have heard, read and seen about schools being unavailable until the Pac-12 signs a media rights deal and begins a full-throttle push to fill out its membership. I assume the Pac-12 wants multiple partners for its media deal. If the conference eventually only has eight football members and nine for basketball, is that enough inventory to split between two partners? Do they have to add more schools to maximize the media contract? — @NateJones2009 A: Commissioner Teresa Gould has been clear in her aims to partner with multiple media companies and place Pac-12 content on multiple platforms (linear and streaming). In our view, the question isn't whether the conference signs with two partners. It's whether three companies are involved. The number of partners could depend on whether ESPN is part of the agreement, because it emphasizes both linear and streaming (ESPN+) whereas Fox, The CW and Warner Bros. Discovery (TNT and TBS) are not heavily into streaming. Bottom line: The conference has established its foundational members. What happens next depends on the market. If the media rights negotiations indicate more is merrier because of inventory needs, then sure, the Pac-12 could add two or three more schools. Or it could make one more move: The eighth football-playing member. It's all a balancing act. The Pac-12 and its consultant, Octagon, must craft a deal that provides maximum dollars with the minimum number of schools, thereby ensuring that each member gets the largest revenue share possible. Only one school without a football program could increase the value of the overall package, and thanks to Gould's work behind the scenes, the Pac-12 landed Gonzaga in September. Also, keep in mind that the Pac-12 wants to remain nimble enough to serve as a fallback option for any former schools that might want to return in five or 10 years. Why do you vote so far out of alignment with the rest of the Associated Press Top 25 voters? — @alcor805 A: I have been using the same basic formula for years with regard to my AP Top 25 ballot, with an emphasis on schedule strength, accumulating quality wins and avoiding bad losses. I will drop teams that win and elevate teams that lose, depending on the circumstances. And I never use the loss total as the framework for ordering the 25 teams. Also, I have no idea whether my ballot aligns with the group or is wildly different. I don't see the other ballots when casting my votes on Saturday night. The AP's portal only allows access to our individual pages. And even if granted that access, I would make no attempt to fall in alignment. Groupthink is bad.

Salah nervelessly converted a 63rd-minute penalty, his 16th goal of the season, after French referee Benoit Bastien had been advised to take another look at Donny van de Beek’s clumsy challenge on Luis Diaz. In the process, he became just the 11th man to score 50 goals in the competition – Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe later also joined that exclusive club – on a night when victory at the Estadi Montilivi meant the six-time European champions will enter 2025 sitting proudly at the top of the table. ⭐️ A FIVE STAR PERFORMANCE ⭐️ #FCBayern #MiaSanMia | #SHAFCB #UCL pic.twitter.com/WELoxugaGn — FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) December 10, 2024 France international Michael Olise produced a moment of magic to set the seal on Bayern Munich’s demolition of Shakhtar Donetsk and ease them towards the knockout stage. Olise’s brilliant stoppage-time run and finish capped a 5-1 victory for the Germans, in which he had early scored from the penalty spot, in Gelsenkirchen. Kevin’s fifth-minute strike had given the home side the perfect start, but Konrad Laimer levelled before Thomas Muller’s 55th goal in the competition sent the visitors in ahead at the break and set the stage for Olise’s double either side of Jamal Musiala’s strike. Jude Bellingham breathed life back into Real Madrid’s campaign as they held off Atalanta to earn a 3-2 victory in Bergamo. 🫲 @BellinghamJude 🫱 #UCL pic.twitter.com/jTynK04akR — Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) December 10, 2024 After Charles De Ketelaere had cancelled out Mbappe’s opener from the penalty spot, second-half goals from Vinicius Junior and Bellingham in quick succession put the visitors in charge, although Ademola Lookman’s 65th-minute strike meant the contest was alive until the final whistle. Ross Barkley took Aston Villa a step closer to automatic qualification with a late winner against RB Leipzig in Germany. Villa had led twice through John McGinn and Jhon Duran, but equalisers from Lois Openda and Christoph Baumgartner kept Leipzig in it until substitute Barkley struck five minutes from time to snatch a 3-2 victory.

Mukiele struck in the 90th minute to inflict a first defeat across six games in this season’s competition on the Serie A champions – it was also the first goal they have conceded. Casper Nielsen came off the bench to fire Club Brugge to a 2-1 home victory over Sporting Lisbon after Eduardo Quaresma’s own goal had handed them a way back into the game following Geny Catamo’s early opener.

In conclusion, by implementing these three policy measures - fostering age-inclusive workplace environments, providing targeted training and reskilling programs, and incentivizing businesses to create age-diverse recruitment strategies - significant progress can be made in enhancing employment assistance for older workers. These measures aim to unlock job opportunities tailored to the needs of older individuals, enabling them to remain active participants in the workforce and contribute their valuable skills and experience. With a concerted effort from policymakers, employers, and training providers, we can create a more age-inclusive and vibrant workforce that benefits individuals of all ages.
The match against Atletico Madrid will provide Krunic with a golden opportunity to showcase his abilities on the big stage and prove that he is more than capable of filling in for the injured Tonali.

Public Services and Procurement Canada announced Tuesday it has suspended Global Health Imports (GHI) from bidding or doing work on government contracts for 90 days as it investigates the company’s eligibility. Catherine Poulin, an assistant deputy minister in the Department of Public Works and Government Services, told MPs at a parliamentary committee the decision was made because the company faces accusations of improper business practices. “We have gone through multiple sources of information, including lawsuits, both civil and criminal, and the information that has been brought to our attention recently concerning an Edmonton Police Service investigation, kind of put us at the right level of threshold to take action under the policy,” she told the government operations and estimates committee. Pressed by Conservative MP Garnett Genuis over whether the company’s claim to be Indigenous-owned was a factor in the suspension, Poulin said the “representation has been part of the cases that we have looked at, and will form one of the factors that will be looked at by the determination team while finalizing the assessment of GHI.” She said GHI was never given any contracts based on claims of Indigenous identity and the company is not on the government’s list of Indigenous businesses. GHI’s only contract with the federal government was awarded by Elections Canada. No payments have been made on the contract, the announcement said. The suspension comes after Boissonnault last week to “focus on clearing the allegations made against him,” including that he had wrongly claimed Indigenous identity. Boissonnault came under intense scrutiny after Global News reported in May that GHI, which he co-founded in 2020, was embroiled in lawsuits over its business practices while Boissonnault was listed as a director for the company and serving in Trudeau’s cabinet. He is not named in any of the lawsuits detailed by Global News. The Edmonton Police Service confirmed to the Star last week that it was investigating a complaint of “a fraud involving a local medical supply company.” It did not provide an update when asked on Tuesday. Boissonnault gave up his 50-per-cent share in the company in June. He has maintained he’s had no role in the company or awareness of its contracts since his election in 2021. Reports in the National Post have since raised questions about Boissonnault’s of Indigenous identity, which reignited calls for him to resign. The controversy over GHI’s claims of Indigenous identity comes as MPs probe the federal government’s Indigenous procurement system amid calls to overhaul it. The federal government targets that five per cent of its contracts go to Indigenous-owned companies, but critics including the Assembly of First Nations have charged that the majority of those companies only have loose connections to Indigenous people.

On paper, Luigi Mangione had it all: wealth, intellect, athleticism, good looks. But the child of a prominent Maryland family may have spurned it all in a spasm of violence, in a killing that has mesmerized Americans. The 26-year-old was arrested Monday and charged with the murder of Brian Thompson, a health insurance chief executive and father of two who was gunned down in Manhattan last week by someone who, evidence suggests, has endured his own debilitating health crises and grew angry with the privatized US medical system. The cold-blooded killing has laid bare the deep frustration many Americans feel toward the country's labyrinthine health care system: while many have condemned the shooting, others have praised Mangione as a hero. It has also prompted considerable interest in how a young engineer with an Ivy League education could have gone off the rails to commit murder. News of his capture at a Pennsylvania McDonald's triggered an explosion of online activity, with Mangione quickly amassing new followers on social media as citizen sleuths and US media tried to understand who he is. As Americans have looked for clues about a political ideology or potential motive, a photo on his X account (formerly Twitter) includes an X-ray of an apparently injured spine. Mangione lived in Hawaii in 2022 and, according to his former roommate R.J. Martin, suffered from back pain, and was hoping to strengthen his back. After a surfing lesson, Mangione was "in bed for about a week" because of the pain, Martin told CNN. Earlier this year, Martin said, Mangione confirmed he'd had back surgery and sent him photos of the X-rays. Police said the suspect carried a hand-written manifesto of grievances in which he slammed America's "most expensive health care system in the world." "He was writing a lot about his disdain for corporate America and in particular the health care industry," New York police chief detective Joseph Kenny told ABC. According to CNN, a document recovered when Mangione was arrested included the phrase "these parasites had it coming." Meanwhile, memes and jokes proliferated, many riffing on his first name and comparing him to the "Mario Bros." video game character Luigi. Many expressed at least partial sympathy, having had their own harrowing experiences with the US health care system. "Godspeed. Please know that we all hear you," wrote one user on Facebook. Mangione hails from the Baltimore area. His wealthy Italian-American family owns local businesses, including the Hayfields Country Club, according to local outlet the Baltimore Banner, and cousin Nino Mangione is a Maryland state delegate. A standout student, Luigi graduated at the top of his high school class in 2016. A former student who knew Mangione at the elite Gilman School told AFP the suspect struck him as "a normal guy, nice kid." "There was nothing about him that was off, at least from my perception," the person said. Mangione attended the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, where he completed both a bachelor's and master's degree in computer science by 2020, according to a university spokesperson. While at Penn, Mangione co-led a group of 60 undergraduates who collaborated on video game projects, as noted in a now-deleted university webpage. On Instagram Mangione shared snapshots of his travels, and shirtless images of himself flaunting a six-pack. X users have scoured Mangione's posts for potential motives. His header photo includes an X-ray of a spine with bolts attached. Finding a political ideology that fits neatly onto the right-left divide has proved elusive, though he had written a review of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto on online site Goodreads, calling it "prescient." Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, carried out multiple bombings in the United States from 1978 to 1995, in a campaign he said was aimed at halting the advance of modern society and technology. Mangione has also linked approvingly to posts criticizing secularism as a harmful consequence of Christianity's decline, and retweeted posts on the impact mobile phones and social media have on mental health. ia/abo-mlm/nroPhone: +81-3-6278-2111
