Expanded Big Ten could put 4 teams in the playoff -- thanks to Indiana's unexpected riseLocal Sport Don't miss out on the headlines from Local Sport . Followed categories will be added to My News. The first red-ball matches of the VSDCA season are underway. After an action-packed day one of the first two-dayer of the season there were runs and wickets galore across the North-East group . There was a record-breaking bowling performance. While a pair of tons inspires one of the biggest team totals we’ll see this summer. Check out all the highlights from around the grounds below. RECORD-BREAKING HAUL What a day out by Bayswater’s Michael Topp. The former Premier quick broke a club record collecting 9-65 off 21 overs on day one of his side’s bout with Coburg. He was twice on a hat-trick, castled six, caught two lbws and had one caught-behind – as well as six maidens – as the Burgers’ batting order fell for 214. The most crucial of Topp’s scalps came when he dismissed middle-order bat Cameron Harding for 76, while his streak also claimed three ducks (two of those golden). The signs were ominous the former Ringwood man might have been in for a big day when his handiwork finished top-order pair Kevin Noronha (6) and keeper Osian Catlin (duck) within three balls of each other in the sixth over, before the consecutive wickets of opener Sidney Thomson (26) and middle-order bat Noah Thain (golden duck) in the 10th. Bayswater put up 1-49 in reply by stumps, with the heavy-hitting Rishi Patel driving 41 runs before his dismissal at the hands of Burgers’ captain Hamza Ali. BULLANTS DUO’S MAGIC Shakeel Ahmed and Vaib Deshpande will forever have found memories of Gordon Barnard Reserve after putting Balwyn to the sword on Saturday. Preston captain Deshpande scored a brilliant unbeaten century, 121 from 125 balls. Opening bat Ahmad scored 106 from 142 deliveries. Both found the boundary 16 times, Ahmad hitting one six. After winning the toss and batting, Ahmad and opening partner Greg Maratos (73) got the visitors off to the perfect start with a 153-run stand. Ahmad and Deshpande were only together for 41 runs but the skipper and Swapnil Salvi (40) then put on a 96-run partnership. The runs continued to flow through to stumps as Deshpande and Syed Shah (51 not out) made it three hundred run partnerships for the day with a 114-run fourth-wicket stand. Preston going to stumps at 3-407. Balwyn face a gigantic task next week. Vaib Deshpande in action for Preston. Picture: Andy Brownbill SKIPPER STANDS TALL While Coburg struggles captain Hamza Ali has been a shining light. The Lions all-rounder was again the standout on Saturday, helping Coburg defy Michael Topp’s destructive spell to post 214 at Marie Wallace Oval. Ali top-scored with 78 from 135 balls, hitting eight boundaries. He was well supported by Cameron Harding (76 from 100). With the visitors struggling at 4-41, the pair put on a 115-run fifth wicket stand to turn the innings around. Ali was the last man out, falling to Rishi Patel. However, he got his revenge shortly after. With Patel cruising at 41 runs from 32 balls, Ali removed the Baywater dangerman, caught by Blake Karvalis. The hosts 1-49 at stumps. LIONS PAIR TAME MUSTANGS The combined bowling efforts of Donvale’s Patrick Rowe (4-34 off 12) and Ben Shufflebotham (4-37 off 21) almost single-handedly knocked Box Hill over as the hosts fell for 181. But the most important wicket of all came at the hands of UK import Shufflebotham, who ended opener Liam Dick’s day on 87 runs. It’s been some season with the ball so far for Rowe, whose wicket collection grew to 11 on Saturday, while it’s been a steady rise in recent weeks for boom recruit Shufflebotham, who took 2-49 then 3-47. Could his next spell be a five-for? Dan Houghton appeals for a wicket for Brunswick. Picture: Josh Chadwick Andrew Potter rolls the arm over for Brunswick. Picture: Josh Chadwick LOVELUCK RESCUES SAINTS In the face of a Dan Houghton onslaught, Brad Loveluck anchored Ivanhoe’s innings. After winning the toss at Brunswick’s AG Gillon Oval and batting, the Saints were soon in trouble at 6-54. Loveluck’s unbeaten 73 from 139 balls steadied the ship. He and Troy Haynes (29) put on a critical 46-run partnership. The Saints’ tail wagged as Ed Withington (17) and Angus Drysdale (12) helped post a defendable 194. The last wicket stand between Loveluck and Drysdale adding 54. Houghton was an ever-present danger with the ball, finishing with 4-28, while Andrew Potter claimed 3-21. DE SILVA STRIKES AGAIN Last week Mt Waverley’s Shenuka De Silva turned out a 7-67 masterclass against Balwyn – and it was another formidable display on the weekend from the off-spinner, reeling in 5-40 off 19.4 overs in his side’s clash with Plenty Valley. His haul included the wicket of opener Karthik Singh (23) before sending captain Simon Black to the sheds with a duck and fellow middle-order bat Chenutha Wickramasinghe out for nine. De Silva’s season has now netted 15 wickets from five matches, and the weekend’s effort was almost matched by teammate Kurt Benjamin, who finished the day with 4-22 off 12 as Plenty Valley fell for 192. Mt Waverley put up 0-19 in reply by stumps. Finn Cleary in action for Ivanhoe. Picture: Josh Chadwick Rishabh Nagpal in action for Ivanhoe. Picture: Josh Chadwick BATS WITH WORK TO DO Half-centuries from Sunil Dhamala and Lahiru Opatha gave Plenty Valley a strong foundation but the Bats failed to build on it at War Memorial Reserve on Saturday. Opener Dhamala scored 60 from 86 balls before Opatha added a quick-fire 50 from 54 deliveries to have the hosts 3-135 at one stage. However, the next seven wickets added just 57 runs, Plenty Valley all out 192 in 62.4 overs. Mt Waverley 0-19 at stumps. KEW RETURNS TO FORM The reigning premier hasn’t won since Round 1 and has struggled with the bat, posting 106 120 8-178 and 178 in its past four outings. However, led by captain David Wildsmith, Kew returned to form at Victoria Park on Saturday against Noble Park. Wildsmith top-scored with 62 from a patient 125 balls. Eddie Hogg added 53 from 127. The pair putting on a 103-run third-wicket stand. Late runs from Navnith Satyan (31 not out) saw the hosts post 8-238 from their 80 overs. Bulls skipper Janaka Liyanabadalge (3-73) and Holten Medallist Sahan Perera (3-75) were the pick of the bowlers. SNOWDOGS TAKE DAY ONE LEAD Conor Browne (3-15) and Nish Perera (3-38) skittled Strathmore for 113. St Bernard’s bats then got to work. The Snowdogs were in early trouble at 2-13 before Chris Spinella steadied the ship. The veteran bat finished the day unbeaten on 67 from 96 balls, hitting 15 boundaries. Perera (19) and Nathan Johnson (33 to go with his 2-16) providing crucial support. The Snowdogs will look to build their lead next week and potentially look for an outright win. Tom Stevenson was a standout on a difficult day for the visitors, top-scoring with the bat (30) and leading the way with the ball (2-27).

'Disgraceful': Labor points fingers as clock ticks down

Staggies captain’s absence to give others chance to impress

ORLANDO, Fla. , Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2025 AIUM Annual Convention , hosted by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), will explore the cutting edge of medical technology through keynote presentations on space exploration, medical innovation, and neurotherapeutics.

When I was young, I daydreamed of exotic heists, slick con artists and lovable crooks I’d seen on screen. For most of my moviegoing life, I’ve been a sucker for larceny done well. Most of us are, probably. Related Articles Movies | Review: Angelina Jolie glides through ‘Maria’ like an iceberg, but a chilly Callas isn’t enough Movies | ‘Nightbitch’ review: Mother embraces her animal side in thought-provoking film Movies | Making ‘Queer’ required openness. Daniel Craig was ready Movies | ‘Moana 2’ review: Sequel hits big screen unable to shake its small-screen DNA Movies | Column: Brady Corbet’s epic movie ‘The Brutalist’ came close to crashing down more than once But now it’s late 2024. Mood is wrong. In the real world, in America, it’s scoundrel time all the time. Maybe Charles Dickens was right. In “American Notes for General Circulation” (1842), the English literary superstar chronicled his travels and detected a widespread, peculiarly American “love of ‘smart’ dealing” across the land. In business and in politics, Dickens observed, slavish admiration of the con men among them “gilds over many a swindle and gross breach of trust.” And here we are. It’ll pass, this scoundrel reprieve of mine. In fact it just did. All it took was thinking about the conspicuous, roguish outlier on my best-of-2024 list: “Challengers.” It’s what this year needed and didn’t know it: a tricky story of lying, duplicitous weasels on and off the court. The best films this year showed me things I hadn’t seen, following familiar character dynamics into fresh territory. Some were more visually distinctive than others; all made eloquent cases for how, and where, their stories unfolded. “All We Imagine as Light,” recently at the Gene Siskel Film Center, works like a poem, or a sustained exhalation of breath, in its simply designed narrative of three Mumbai hospital workers. Fluid, subtly political, filmmaker Payal Kapadia’s achievement is very nearly perfect. So is cowriter-director RaMell Ross’ adaptation of the Colson Whitehead novel “The Nickel Boys,” arriving in Chicago-area theaters on Jan. 3, 2025. “Nickel Boys,” the film, loses the “the” in Whitehead’s title but gains an astonishingly realized visual perspective. If Ross never makes another movie, he’ll have an American masterpiece to his credit. The following top 10 movies of 2024 are in alphabetical order. Both a mosaic of urban ebb and flow, and a delicate revelation of character, director and writer Payal Kapadia’s Mumbai story is hypnotic, patient and in its more traditional story progression, a second feature every bit as good as Kapadia’s first, 2021’s “A Night of Knowing Nothing.” Mikey Madison gives one of the year’s funniest, saddest, truest performances as a Brooklyn exotic dancer who takes a shine to the gangly son of a Russian oligarch, and he to her. Their transactional courtship and dizzying Vegas marriage, followed by violently escalating complications, add up to filmmaker Sean Baker’s triumph, capped by an ending full of exquisite mysteries of the human heart. As played by Adrien Brody, the title character is a visionary architect and Hungarian Jewish emigre arriving in America in 1947 after the Holocaust. (That said, the title refers to more than one character.) His patron, and his nemesis, is the Philadelphia blueblood industrialist played by Guy Pearce. Director/co-writer Brady Corbet’s thrillingly ambitious epic, imperfect but loaded with rewarding risks, was shot mostly in widescreen VistaVision. Worth seeing on the biggest screen you can find. Opens in Chicago-area theaters on Jan. 10, 2025. Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor play games with each other, on the tennis court and in beds, while director Luca Guadagnino builds to a match-point climax that can’t possibly work, and doesn’t quite — but I saw the thing twice anyway. In Bucharest, production assistant Angela zigzags around the city interviewing people for her employer’s workplace safety video. If that sounds less than promising, even for a deadpan Romanian slice-of-life tragicomedy, go ahead and make the mistake of skipping this one. llinca Manolache is terrific as Angela. Like “Do Not Expect Too Much,” director Agnieszka Holland’s harrowing slice of recent history was a 2023 release, making it to Chicago in early 2024. Set along the densely forested Poland/Belarus border, this is a model of well-dramatized fiction honoring what refugees have always known: the fully justified, ever-present fear of the unknown. A quiet marvel of a feature debut from writer-director Annie Baker, this is a mother/daughter tale rich in ambiguities and wry humor, set in a lovely, slightly forlorn corner of rural Massachusetts. Julianne Nicholson, never better; Zoe Ziegler as young, hawk-eyed Lacy, equally memorable. I love this year’s nicest surprise. The premise: A teenager’s future 39-year-old self appears to her, magically, via a strong dose of mushrooms. The surprise: Writer-director Megan Park gradually deepens her scenario and sticks a powerfully emotional landing. Wonderful work from Aubrey Plaza, Maisy Stella, Maria Dizzia and everybody, really. From the horrific true story of a Florida reform school and its decades of abuse, neglect and enraging injustice toward its Black residents, novelist Colson Whitehead’s fictionalized novel makes a remarkable jump to the screen thanks to co-writer/director RaMell Ross’s feature debut. Cousins, not as close as they once were, reunite for a Holocaust heritage tour in Poland and their own search for their late grandmother’s childhood home. They’re the rootless Benji (Kieran Culkin) and tightly sprung David (Jesse Eisenberg, who wrote and directed). Small but very sure, this movie’s themes of genocidal trauma and Jewish legacy support the narrative every step of the way. Culkin is marvelous; so is the perpetually undervalued Eisenberg. To the above, I’ll add 10 more runners-up, again in alphabetical order: “Blink Twice,” directed by Zoe Kravitz. “Conclave,” directed by Edward Berger. “Dune: Part Two ,” directed by Denis Villeneuve. “Good One ,” directed by India Donaldson. “Hit Man,” directed by Richard Linklater. “Joker: Folie a Deux,” directed by Todd Phillips. “Nosferatu,” directed by Robert Eggers, opens in Chicago-area theaters on Dec. 25. “The Outrun,” directed by Nora Fingscheidt. “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat,” directed by Johan Grimonprez. “Tuesday,” directed by Daina O. Pusić. Michael Phillips is a Tribune critic.

The US government has awarded Intel a whopping $7.85 billion in CHIPS Act funding, as part of its plan to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing. This is the biggest award under the CHIPS Act to date, although it is less than the maximum $8.5 billion allocated for Intel in March this year. White House's Deputy Chief of Staff Natalie Quillian announced it, calling it an important step in implementing President Joe Biden's CHIPS and Science Act and Investing in America agenda. Expansion plans and job creation The CHIPS investment will go into building and expanding Intel's semiconductor fabrication plants in Arizona, New Mexico , Ohio , as well as Oregon. This expansion is expected to create as many as 30,000 jobs in these four states. According to The Wall Street Journal , Intel will get at least $1 billion in funds later this year. In exchange for the funding, the chipmaker has promised no stock buybacks for five years. Separate $3B contract and project timeline extensions According to The New York Times , the funding was cut because Intel had secured a separate $3 billion contract in September. This contract involves the development of chips for national security products as well as military applications for the US government. Some of Intel's project timelines also extended beyond a 2030 government deadline, which contributed to the funding cut. Revised investment plans and job estimates Despite the funding, Intel has adjusted some of its plans. The company's expansion in Ohio will now generate 3,500 lesser jobs than the previously estimated 10,000. Additionally, Intel has reduced its planned US manufacturing investments from $100 billion over five years, to $90 billion by the end of this decade. These changes come amid difficulties with its next-gen 18A manufacturing process, and a record quarterly loss of $16.6 billion - the largest since its founding in 1968. Intel's decision to not finalize a separate $11B loan Intel has decided against finalizing a separate $11 billion low-cost government loan that was offered in March. The company said today that the loan terms "were less favorable than anticipated for Intel's shareholders and did not align with Intel's long-term growth and market interests." It said it would discuss utilizing loan provisions with the incoming administration in the future.
