Trump's threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for reliefNSW Don't miss out on the headlines from NSW. Followed categories will be added to My News. Jewish-Australian schoolchildren are being greeted with Nazi salutes, told they deserve to die and bullied into getting off the bus in a wave of anti-Semitism sweeping the country, with a shock new report revealing anti-Semitic attacks have jumped 316 per cent since October 7 last year. The nation’s peak Jewish body said students at Jewish schools were too scared to wear their uniforms outside school grounds for fear of being verbally or physically assaulted. “Students from Jewish schools on school excursions are being vilified and abused by students from other schools,” Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) research director Julie Nathan said. “Jewish children playing team sport are subjected to anti-Jewish slurs and worse.” Ms Nathan said the abuse was also occurring in public and private schools and on the street: “It is absolutely appalling that Jewish children are being targeted with verbal abuse and, in some cases, physical assault, simply because they are Jewish.” Rabbi Yossi Friedman and wife Chana Friedman say they have been subjected to anti-Semitism. Picture: Thomas Lisson There have been 2062 anti-Semitic incidents targeting Australia’s 100,000 Jews in the 12 months to September, up from 495 last year. A report published by the ECAJ on Sunday – which sources confidential complaints made to Jewish community organisations, internal security and to the council itself – reveals a 491 per cent spike in physical assaults since the October 7 attacks in Israel last year. The circulation of anti-Semitic posters has risen 679 per cent, verbal abuse 230 per cent and graffiti 214 per cent. There have been 795 anti-Semitic incidents in NSW in the past year, second only to Victoria on 905. Ms Nathan said the figures were just the tip of the iceberg. “There has never been anything like an annual increase of this magnitude,” she said. “For anti-Israel activists in Australia and elsewhere, the slaughter (October 7) acted as a signal that it was now open season against local Jewish communities too, who overwhelmingly support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself. “There have been many new forms and expressions of anti-Jewish racism that would once have been considered alien to Australia, but which have become commonplace.” Michel Feinstein escaped Brazil’s rampant crime rate to move to Sydney, but says he feels more unsafe in Australia. Picture: Rohan Kelly Nurse Ezra says he has been rejected by patients and spat at while at work, and now covers up his surname. Picture: Rohan Kelly The report also includes disturbing accounts of anti-Semitism, including Jewish students riding the bus being told by their peers “Jews deserve to die”, “be gassed” and “You (Jews) need to be separated from normal people like us ... All the Jews get off the bus”. A Jewish student, 16, at a Sydney high school was sitting through a history lesson learning what had happened to his ancestors during the Holocaust when a classmate performed a Nazi salute before chanting “Heil Hitler” and “Go back to the gas chambers” and shoving him. Ms Nathan said the “gravity and unprecedented nature” of the anti-Jewish incidents had necessitated the special report. She also hoped by airing the incidents it would encourage others to come forward, with studies showing many incidents go unreported. Registered nurse Ezra, 28, from Bondi, was forced to tape over the surname on his badge after a critically ill-patient at a Sydney hospital refused to be treated by him. “I was in an acute setting where the patient needed fluids to be administered intravenously and they saw my name, and I was wearing a Kippah at work, when the patient protested, ‘I won’t be treated by you, you’re Jewish – get me someone else’,” he said “Patients have said ‘you don’t belong here,’ plenty of Jewish doctors get this at work and are scared for their safety. “I now cover up my last name on my work badge but I keep my Kippah,” he said. Itinerant rabbi Yossi Friedman, who preaches mostly around Maroubra in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, said there was “a new norm of acceptance of anti-Semitism, of viewing Jews negatively, from the highest levels down”. His wife Chana was ordered to leave a yoga studio in Maroubra after arriving with her own mat with a poster of an Israeli hostage stuck to it after leaving a vigil of solidarity. “They told her they didn’t want anything political in the studio, she left in tears,” he said. “Not enough is being done by police and the government to clamp down on anti-Semitism. “Every Australian has a duty to say no to anti-Semitism now.” Do you have a story for The Daily Telegraph?

Things just can’t seem to go right for the New York Giants in 2024. They allowed an All-Pro running back to leave in favor of paying a QB they cut last week. Now, it looks like they could be without their next choice at signal caller for a divisional Thanksgiving clash with the Dallas Cowboys, as Tommy DeVito suffered an injury on Sunday. DeVito went 21-for-31 for 189 yards with no picks and no TDs in the 30-7 beatdown courtesy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Along with that loss, DeVito also sustained a forearm injury, which, unfortunately, appears to be to his right forearm — his all-important throwing arm. Giants head coach Brian Daboll stated on Tuesday that DeVito is “not 100 percent” for the TNF showdown. Considering the game is two days away, that feels like a pretty strong indictment of DeVito’s chances. In will step veteran Drew Lock, who was listed as the QB2 all year before DeVito leap-frogged him last week to get the start. Lock has a lot more experience than DeVito, and he has really impressed at various moments in his career. The most recent of these was the heroic comeback win he engineered last year for the Seattle Seahawks. They beat the heavily favored Philadelphia Eagles 20-17 thanks to a perfect 29-yard TD throw from Lock with less than 30 seconds remaining. However, despite the perceived advantages that Lock provides, the fact that the Giants’ first-choice replacement for Jones went down in his first start of the season continued a trend for Big Blue: bad luck. Fans have certainly taken note. With Dallas also trotting out their backup QB in Cooper Rush, the Thanksgiving matchup between them and the Giants could be a real dud. Many have already joked that they’re scheduling their afternoon nap for the 4:30 pm kickoff. Daniel Jones , meanwhile, is attracting interest around the league as a backup after unsurprisingly clearing waivers. Many were praying that Jerry Jones would do the pettiest thing of all time and sign the free agent to play against the Giants this week, but that hasn’t materialized. Many view the Buffalo Bills as a likely landing spot. Jones has a similar play style and body type to starter Josh Allen, so it makes sense. There have also been rumors linking Jones to the Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, and Detroit Lions.

By Conor Roche Chatter of Juan Soto signing with the Red Sox has seemingly risen on social media in recent days. Well, the recent odds have shown that Boston’s chances to sign Soto have improved. The Red Sox are listed at +300 to be Soto’s next team at BetMGM Sportsbook , giving them the third-best odds to sign the star slugger. The Yankees remain the favorite to sign Soto, holding -110 odds to retain him. The Mets have the second-best odds of signing Soto (+150) while the Blue Jays and Dodgers also have +300 odds. While Boston still trails both New York teams and has equal odds with two other ballclubs, its betting odds to sign Soto have vastly improved since the start of the offseason. The Red Sox were listed at +2500 at DraftKings Sportsbook to sign Soto in the first week of November, which was the eighth-highest among all teams at the time. In the time since then, the Red Sox were reportedly among a handful of teams to meet with Soto in Southern California. That meeting was “productive” and Soto was “impressed” by Boston’s presentation, MassLive’s Sean McAdam previously reported . The Red Sox were also just one of five known teams to have reportedly sent Soto a contract offer as well. Boston has also stepped up its efforts as it pitched Soto on his fit with the franchise (in terms of his fit at Fenway and with the ball club’s history), the New York Post ‘s Jon Heyman reported earlier in the week . More rumors emerged about the Red Sox’ pursuit of Soto on social media throughout the day on Thanksgiving, with some possibly signaling that he was leaning toward signing with Boston. However, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that Soto remained unsigned . Whenever Soto opts to sign, the expectation is that he’ll receive one of the largest deals, if not the largest deal, in MLB history. Most prognosticators projected Soto to sign a contract worth at least $600 million over a minimum of 12 years ahead of free agency. Even though the Red Sox haven’t been too active relative to other big market teams in free agency over the last few offseasons. Some insiders expect the Red Sox to be more aggressive this offseason, though. “The Red Sox, after sleepwalking through the past few offseasons, have finally arisen and awakened, and they’re acting like a big market team should,” The Athletic ‘s and Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal said on “Fair Territory.” Boston also has the cap room to add a contract like the one Soto is expected to receive this offseason. It had roughly $70 million in available cap space before reaching the first luxury tax threshold entering the offseason, The Boston Globe ‘s Alex Speier projected in October . Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy has also hinted at the possibility of the team entering the luxury tax, which the would likely have to do if they want to sign Soto and add pitching help. “Even if it takes us over the [competitive balance tax],” Kennedy told The Boston Globe ‘s Michael Silverman earlier in November on the Red Sox’ potential spending this offseason . “Our priority is 90 to 95 wins, and winning the American League East, and winning the division for multiple years.” Signing Soto might not be a necessity for the Red Sox this offseason as they’re set to have an outfield logjam and are already a left-heavy lineup. But signing him would give them a talent they haven’t had since they traded Mookie Betts and would allow the team to be much more flexible with their roster. Boston would probably like Soto to make his decision sooner rather than later as it still has other areas of the roster to address. There have been reports that have indicated Soto is likely to make his decision by MLB’s winter meetings , which will take place from Dec. 9-12, if not sooner.

'Your situation is a tragedy': Former Penn Hills basketball standout sentenced in killingThe Social Security Administration revealed the 2025 cost-of-living adjustment last month. Thus, a 2.5% increase will be given to recipients starting in January; this equates to about $48 per month for the typical retiree and about $39 per month for the typical disabled worker. The lower COLA has disappointed many Americans, even though any additional money can help them get by. In addition to being much lower than the 8.7% and 5.9% increases from 2023 and 2022, respectively, it is also marginally below the 2.83% average for the previous ten years. A more moderate COLA does have one significant benefit, though, and it will probably have a greater impact on your retirement than a little higher raise. The positive aspect of lower Social Security COLAs The purpose of the COLA is to assist Social Security benefits in keeping pace with increasing expenses over time. Changes to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) serve as its basis. In the third quarter of every year, the Social Security Administration averages the CPI-W figures. The percentage difference will be the COLA for the following year if the average is higher than the average for the same period the year before. That’s why we witnessed record-breaking adjustments in 2022 and 2023: recipients may anticipate a bigger COLA the following year when inflation is on the rise. A higher-than-average COLA of 5.9% was the result of prices starting to increase in 2021. Beginning in 2023, beneficiaries will receive an 8.7% COLA after the CPI peaked in June 2022 with a 12-month percentage change of 9.1%. A lower COLA is positive because it means inflation is slowing. In October 2024, the CPI’s 12-month percentage change was only 2.6%, compared to 3.2% in October 2023 and 7.7% in October 2022. In general, retirees’ budgets will be more affected by lower prices than by somewhat bigger monthly payments. Therefore, even though a lower COLA could initially appear like a letdown, there is a bright side: daily costs are gradually getting cheaper than they were in previous years. Think about how the COLA affects your retirement strategy. The cost of living adjustment (COLA) isn’t meant to significantly enhance your overall financial status, even if it can give you a little additional money every month. Once more, even a greater raise might not result in additional discretionary income because higher COLAs are just meant to offset rising consumer costs. To enhance your financial well-being in retirement, you might need to adopt a more proactive strategy. You can increase your nest egg without being as dependent on Social Security by, for instance, finding a passive income source. You can also consider moving to a smaller home or going back to work part-time if you can afford it. Although many SSA beneficiaries may be dissatisfied with the new 2.5% COLA boost for next year , the good news is that it indicates a change in inflation. A lesser change is more beneficial than it might appear, and lower costs will probably have an even greater effect on your finances than the COLA. How can you stay up to date with Social Security benefit information? There are several methods to stay up to date on the most recent Social Security data via SSA.gov:

ALLEN PARK — The Detroit Lions made a move on Tuesday that would have seemed incomprehensible just two seasons ago. The Lions waived edge rusher James Houston, who had one of the best rookie seasons (2022) for an edge rusher in recent memory but has not returned to that form since. Asked why it didn’t work out in Detroit, Lions head coach Dan Campbell said, “It just didn’t.” “It just didn’t. We had James up for a number of games, came back off of injury, got back, and it just never quite worked out,” Campbell said. Houston, a sixth-round pick by Detroit in 2022, collected eight sacks in seven games during his rookie season and appeared to have a limitless ceiling on what he could become as a pass rusher in the following seasons. But he appeared to fall out of favor with the coaching staff as early as 2023 training camp — Detroit was unsuccessfully trying to turn him into a well-rounded outside linebacker that could play every down — then broke an ankle in Week 2 of that season while playing on special teams. He didn’t return until the NFC Championship game, where he had limited snaps (11) and didn’t make an impact on the stat sheet. In training camp before this season, the Lions continued to try to improve other parts of Houston’s game but eventually gave up on the experiment, allowing him to just focus on rushing the passer. He has 13 pressures and just one sack in 2024, even with there being a clear vacancy on the edge following several key injuries. This time two years ago, Houston was getting called up from the practice squad to make his NFL debut against the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving Day. Houston dazzled in front of a national television audience , sacking Bills quarterback Josh Allen twice as Detroit took Buffalo to the wire in a 28-25 loss that came on a last-second field goal. Now, before the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game in 2024, the Lions have decided to move on. Houston hinted at the potential parting with a cryptic social media post on Monday night. He posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Live... Learn.. Move on” with a peace sign emoji. “Look, wish him the best of luck, and sometimes you just need a fresh start and this could be great for him, so, wish him the best,” Campbell said. Houston, 26, is just the third Brad Holmes draft pick to no longer be on the active roster or practice squad (Antoine Green, Chase Lucas).The Fabric and Apparel Accessory Manufacturer’s Association (FAAMA), a subsidiary association of the Joint Apparel Association Forum of Sri Lanka (JAAF), hosted its 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2024, at Jetwing Colombo Seven on October 29. The chief guest was the Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka, Doug Sonnek and the guest of honour was Chairman of JAAF, Saif Jafferjee. Representatives of JAAF member associations including JAAF Secretary General Yohan Lawrence, BOI Director General Mrs. Renuka M. Weerakoon and Director General of the Central Environmental Authority, P.B. Hemantha Jayasinghe were also present. Outgoing Chairman Pubudu de Silva outlined the association’s progress over the past financial year ending March 31, 2024. He highlighted several challenges faced by the textile and apparel industry due to uncertain global demand, brought about by geopolitical tensions and economic fluctuation. He said that these challenges greatly impacted supply chains and costs of raw material. Despite these challenges, Sri Lanka’s apparel was the largest contributor to the local economy. He outlined FAAMA’s pivotal role in the apparel industry, emphasising the fact that the association is working closely with stakeholders and government to implement favourable policies for the apparel industry. The Association would continue its focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives such as beach clean ups and ocean strainers. FAAMA hopes to strengthen its partnership with JAAF and further expand global demand for Sri Lankan apparel, he said. Chairman of JAAF, Saif Jafferjee said the JAAF, in spite of the challenges, will continue to collaborate with FAAMA to strengthen the apparel industry and turn Sri Lanka’s apparel industry into an USD $8 billion industry over the next two years. Chief guest, Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy, Doug Sonnek said, “The United States is proud to be Sri Lanka’s top export market, with $2.8 billion in goods exported to the U.S. in 2023. Organisations such as FAAMA play a critical role in strengthening our bilateral economic relations. By promoting good governance, supporting workers’ rights, and advancing environmental sustainability, FAAMA is not only driving the apparel industry forward but also contributing to Sri Lanka’s long-term economic resilience and growth. The United States looks forward to continuing our partnership to create opportunities and prosperity for both our nations.” The new office-bearers: Chairman Samal Dissanaike, Secretary Shahid Sangani, Treasurer Suranga Gallage, Vice Chair 1 Niroshan Samarasinghe, Vice Chair 2 Vasu Wijegoonawardene.

Soccer-Leipzig own goal sends Inter top of Champions League

Duke rallies from 14 down, beats Wake Forest 23-17 on final-play passWINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — It wasn’t how Duke drew up the final play, but it worked out perfect for the Blue Devils in Saturday’s 23-17 victory over Wake Forest. Maalik Murphy threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Moore as time expired, allowing Duke to end the regular season with three consecutive victories. Murphy said he realized he took too long to make a decision after the last snap. “I knew at that point I had to make a play,” he said. “The damage was already done, time was ticking.” With the score tied at 17, the Blue Devils (9-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) moved 76 yards in 1:22 after forcing a Wake Forest punt. It appeared that Duke might run out of time in the slow-developing play, but Moore improvised and broke free along the right side, caught the ball at the 10-yard line and spun into the end zone to complete a comeback from 14 points down in the second half. “The play that Maalik and Jordan put together was magical,” Duke coach Manny Diaz said. “Nobody thought a 5-yard route would turn into a (long) touchdown.” So instead of a long field-goal attempt, Duke had something better. “I just decided to take it down the field,” Moore said. “I think that’s a testament to our chemistry. ... Maalik had the confidence in himself to make that kind of play.” It resulted in Duke’s sixth victory by seven points or less. “It’s like a perfect exclamation point to our season,” Diaz said. “An unbelievable way to finish our season.” Murphy racked up with 235 yards on 26-for-34 passing. Moore, who was down with an injury after a reception earlier in the second half, made five catches for 98 yards. Hank Bachmeier threw for 207 yards and a touchdown as Wake Forest (4-8, 2-6) ended its second straight four-win season with a four-game losing streak. “A heartbreaking loss,” Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson said. “It’s a tough way to lose a game and a tough way to end the season.” Tate Carey’s 8-yard run, Matthew Dennis’ 37-yard field goal and Horatio Fields’ 9-yard reception across 11 minutes of game time gave Wake Forest a 17-3 lead with nine minutes left in the third quarter. Duke took advantage of a short field following a punt, moving 42 yards in four plays to score on Star Thomas’ 3-yard run. The Blue Devils recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and converted on Murphy’s 2-yard run with 12:57 left to pull even. “What has been proven is that we’re mentally tough,” Diaz said. “We’re not going to do everything perfect.” Taylor Morin became Wake Forest’s all-time leader in receiving yards with 2,974. He picked up 47 yards on eight catches on Saturday. Morin, in his fifth season, passed former NFL player Ricky Proehl, who had 2,929 yards in the late 1980s. Duke: The Blue Devils have secured at least a nine-win season for the second time in three seasons, this one coming in Diaz’s first season. They racked up a 4-0 record against in-state opponents, including comebacks to top North Carolina and Wake Forest. “Every quest that we have for championships starts in our own state,” Diaz said. Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons punted on their final three possessions of the season. They finished with a 1-6 record in home games. “It’s been a tough year, a long year, and I’m proud of our team and how hard they fought,” Clawson said.
