How major US stock indexes fared Monday, 12/2/2024LINCOLN, Neb. — Defensive coordinator Tony White, the best hire in Matt Rhule’s two seasons as coach at Nebraska, is leaving the Huskers to take the same position at Florida State . Two people briefed on the move confirmed it to The Athletic on Monday. It’s a lateral move for White, and that’s a generous assessment of the Seminoles — who play in a weaker conference than Nebraska with fewer resources than exist in Lincoln and a coach seemingly on the hot seat after a 2-10 season. Advertisement FSU has a far superior recruiting base to Nebraska. And that’s about it. So what gives? Well, Nebraska is not what it once was. It’s not what it was, in fact, 12 months ago. The Huskers, despite ending a seven-year bowl drought, walk into December with limited momentum. They’re not viewed from the outside — after bungling away late opportunities in five defeats this season — as an awakening elite program on a fast track to national relevance. Nebraska is just another program mired in mediocrity, without an impressive-looking new coach or the anticipation of a big change coming soon. Excitement around Rhule’s rebuild evaporated six weeks ago when Indiana torched the Huskers. After losing five of six games in the second half of the regular season, Nebraska is left in December to deal with the ramifications. Word of warning: It might feel like an especially long month. White’s departure is the first big domino to fall. Wide receiver Malachi Coleman , a hometown player and the gem of Rhule’s first recruiting class, announced his intention last month to depart the program. Defensive linemen Jimari Butler and Vincent Jackson are set to enter the portal. BREAKING: Nebraska DL Jimari Butler plans to enter the Transfer Portal, he tells @on3sports The 6’5 260 DL totaled 65 Tackles, 7.5 Sacks, & 1 FF in his 3 years with the Cornhuskers https://t.co/MfHHpnCmhj pic.twitter.com/gOx74CgZgV — Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) December 2, 2024 There will be many more exits. It’s a necessity, with the 105-man roster limit looming in 2025. Nebraska’s roster this season included about 150 players. Some departing Huskers won’t move the meter. Others will — like White, whose defense kept the Huskers afloat for much of the past two seasons. Until Dana Holgorsen arrived three weeks ago and yanked the offense out of neutral as Nebraska pounded Wisconsin 44-25, the Nebraska defense allowed no more than 14 points in every one of Rhule’s victories with the Huskers. If White’s group failed to perform, the Huskers lost. GO DEEPER How Nebraska quickly pivoted to new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen And now he’s off to Florida State, which has sued its conference, the ACC, to reduce the fee required for schools to leave. Of course, after a 13-0 record couldn’t get FSU into the College Football Playoff in 2023, it’s got bigger problems to tackle than its conference affiliation. White and newly hired Florida State offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who left the top job at UCF , could be in limbo next year at this time if they can’t turn the Noles in a positive direction under sixth-year coach Mike Norvell. Advertisement White turned down at least one opportunity to leave Nebraska after last season. He discussed head-coaching jobs with multiple schools, including his alma mater, UCLA , but ultimately stayed at Nebraska and got a $1.6 million-per-year deal through the end of next season. It made him the highest-paid assistant coach in Nebraska history. “As we resurge ... a lot of that credit is going to go to Tony,” Rhule said early this year. “And he’ll have an opportunity to be a head coach. He’ll be a great one. And hopefully, I can do some things along the way that help prepare him.” This detour to Tallahassee is not one for which Rhule stumped. And yet, here we are, mulling options for Rhule to hire as Nebraska’s next defensive coordinator. Why leave? White lost some of his autonomy with the Nebraska defense in 2024. In July, after secondary coach Evan Cooper left the program, Rhule plucked former Buffalo Bills assistant John Butler to coach the defensive backs. Butler brought a traditional defense mindset from the NFL in comparison with White’s attacking, occasionally exotic system. The Huskers still ran White’s 3-3-5 scheme, but Butler’s schematic influence was evident. In addition, Nebraska used the services of Phil Snow, the former longtime defensive coordinator under Rhule, as a consultant. Did extra hands in the kitchen compromise White’s ability to cook? “Whatever the head man wants, whatever the head man suggests, that’s the way the program goes,” White said two weeks ago. “Right? That’s how it goes, period. And so our job is to make sure that gets done in the way, in the manner in which he wants it done. “We put it on the grass with the players and make it alive. That’s anywhere, any organization. That man has been through it, and he is the leader. And when he says something, we make it work. We make it happen.” Advertisement Nebraska slipped from 11th nationally in yardage in 2023 allowed per game to 19th. Still, the Blackshirts, with returning starters at every position to open this season, put the Huskers in position to win each game except the Indiana debacle. The immediate task for Rhule is to minimize collateral damage. He can find a top-notch defensive coordinator. Butler told The Athletic early this year that he chose to leave the Bills to position himself to coordinate an NFL or major college defense. If it’s not Butler, Rhule could tap an old colleague, Geoff Collins, the former Georgia Tech head coach who coordinated North Carolina ’s defense this year. Rhule could make a run at recently fired Purdue coach Ryan Walters, an elite coordinator while at Illinois; former Wisconsin coordinator Jim Leonhard; or Chris Kiffin, the son of late, great ex-Nebraska defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who’s working with brother Lane this year at Ole Miss . How many dominoes could fall? White is interested in taking Terrance Knighton, Nebraska’s D-line coach of the past two seasons, with him to Florida State according to a person briefed on the situation. A few Huskers who played defense for White — like Jimari Butler — could follow. A small exodus at first might lead to a larger one. It might spread to the offensive side, especially as Nebraska trims the roster to meet the NCAA limitations. Falling dominoes could affect Holgorsen, whom the Huskers want to lock up as offensive coordinator for next season after he made a positive impact in three games. Chances are, Rhule will succeed in keeping things mostly intact. He’s good at selling Nebraska to recruits, players and assistant coaches. And Nebraska, as an institution and an athletic department, features plenty to sell itself on. But the football program is not what it once was — not 12 years ago or 12 months ago.

8 men booked for attacking former sarpanch, 2 othersFormer President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. At age 52, Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. Carter left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Here's the latest: President Joe Biden will speak about Carter Sunday evening. The president will make his address from a hotel in St. Croix, from the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he is on a holiday vacation with his family. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter had one of the great love stories and political partnerships in U.S. presidential history. The former president sometimes called his wife, who died Nov. 19. 2023, “Rosie,” which is a good way to remember how her name actually is pronounced. It is “ROSE-uh-lyn,” not, repeat NOT, “RAHZ-uh-lyn.” They were married more than 77 years but their relationship went back even further. Jimmy’s mother, “Miss Lillian,” delivered Eleanor Rosalynn Smith at the Smith home in Plains on Aug. 18, 1927. The nurse brought her eldest child back a few days later to visit, meaning the longest-married presidential couple met as preschooler and newborn. She became his trusted campaign aide and White House adviser, surprising Washington by sitting in on Cabinet meetings. Then they traveled the world together as co-founders of The Carter Center. Most of the nation saw the former president for the last time at Rosalynn Carter’s funeral. Jason Carter is now the chairman of The Carter Center’s board of governors. He said his grandparents “never changed who they were” even after reaching the White House and becoming global humanitarians. He says their four years in Washington were just one period of putting their values into action and that the center his grandparents founded in Atlanta is a lasting “extension of their belief in human rights as a fundamental global force.” Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter traveled the world advocating for democracy and fighting disease, but Jason Carter said they weren’t motivated by pity, or arrogance that a former American president had all the answers — they ventured to remote places because they could “recognize these people.” They too were from “a 600-person village” and understood that even the poorest people “have the power ... the ability ... the knowledge and the expertise to change their own community.” As reaction poured in from around the world, President Joe Biden mourned Carter’s death, saying the world lost an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian” and he lost a dear friend. Biden cited Carter’s compassion and moral clarity, his work to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless and advocacy for the disadvantaged as an example for others. Biden said he is ordering a state funeral for Carter in Washington. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is remembering Carter as a man steeped “in devotion to public service and peace.” The California Democrat said in a statement Sunday that Carter was committed to “honoring the spark of divinity within every person,” something she said manifested in “teaching Sunday school in his beloved Marantha Baptist Church, brokering the landmark Camp David Accords to pave the way to peace or building homes with Habitat for Humanity.” Pelosi also said Carter led “perhaps the most impactful post-presidency in history.” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer noted in a post on X the special contribution Carter made by brokering the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt and through his work with the Carter Center. “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad,” Starmer said. To commemorate Carter’s death, officials with the Empire State Building said in a post on social media that the iconic New York City landmark would be lit in red, white and blue on Sunday night, “to honor the life and legacy” of the late former president. In a statement issued Sunday, former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama said Carter’s beloved Maranatha Baptist Church “will be a little quieter on Sunday,s” but added that the late former president “will never be far away -- buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels.” Noting the “hundreds of tourists from around the world crammed into the pews” to see the former president teach Sunday school, as he did “for most of his adult life,” the Obamas listed Carter’s accomplishments as president. But they made special note of the Sunday school lessons, saying they were catalysts for people making a pilgrimage to the church. “Many people in that church on Sunday morning were there, at least in part, because of something more fundamental: President Carter’s decency.” The longest-lived American president died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023 , spent most of their lives. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” The Carter Center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. In his 1975 book “Why Not The Best,” Carter said of himself: “I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry.” A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. After he left office and returned home to his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia, Carter regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world. Former Vice President Al Gore praised Jimmy Carter for living “a life full of purpose, commitment and kindness” and for being a “lifelong role model for the entire environmental movement.” Carter, who left the White House in 1981 after a landslide defeat to Ronald Reagan. concentrated on conflict resolution, defending democracy and fighting disease in the developing world. Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, remains a leading advocate for action to fight climate change. Both won Nobel Peace Prizes. Gore said that “it is a testament to his unyielding determination to help build a more just and peaceful world” that Carter is often “remembered equally for the work he did as President as he is for his leadership over the 42 years after he left office.” During Gore’s time in the White House, President Bill Clinton had an uneasy relationship with Carter. But Gore said he is “grateful” for “many years of friendship and collaboration” with Carter. Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, remember Carter as a man who lived to serve others. “Hillary and I mourn the passing of President Jimmy Carter and give thanks for his long, good life. Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others — until the very end." The statement recalled Carter's many achievements and priorities, including efforts “to protect our natural resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, make energy conservation a national priority, return the Panama Canal to Panama, and secure peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David." After he left office, the Clinton statement said, Carter continued efforts in "supporting honest elections, advancing peace, combating disease, and promoting democracy; to his and Rosalynn’s devotion and hard work at Habitat for Humanity — he worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world,” the statement said.

According to a release from the Prime Minister's Office dated November 24, the UN's International Year of Cooperatives 2025 focuses on the theme "Cooperatives Build a Better World," highlighting the transformative role cooperatives play in promoting social inclusion, economic empowerment, and sustainable development. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognise cooperatives as key drivers of sustainable development, particularly in reducing inequality, promoting decent work, and alleviating poverty. The year 2025 will be a global initiative showcasing the power of cooperative enterprises in addressing the world's most pressing challenges, the release added.

The commemorative postal stamp features a lotus, symbolising peace, strength, resilience, and growth, reflecting the cooperative values of sustainability and community development. According to the Prime Minister's Office, the five petals of the lotus represent the Panchatatva (five elements of nature), underscoring cooperatives' commitment to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The design incorporates sectors such as agriculture, dairy, fisheries, consumer cooperatives, and housing, with a drone symbolising the role of modern technology in agriculture. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, the Prime Minister of Bhutan, the Deputy Prime Minister of Fiji, the President of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA), the Secretary of the Ministry of Cooperation, and other dignitaries were present at the event, the Ministry of Cooperation noted. Speaking on the occasion, Amit Shah described the United Nations' decision to observe 2025 as the International Year of Cooperatives as a timely step, benefiting millions of poor people and farmers worldwide. He said the inauguration of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025 by Prime Minister Modi, alongside hosting the International Cooperative Conference of the ICA in India, is a significant step forward. Shah added that Prime Minister Modi's call for "Sahkar Se Samriddhi" three years ago embodies the conference's theme and has paved the way for the prosperity of millions of villages, women, and farmers. Shah noted that in the past three years, significant developments have occurred in India's cooperative sector. After 75 years of independence, the country's cooperative movement has seen a revival with renewed energy. In the next three years, Shah said, two lakh new Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) will ensure every village panchayat in India has a cooperative society. He added that steps are being taken to modernise PACS and make them tech-enabled and economically viable. Three new national-level cooperative bodies--National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL), National Cooperative Organics Limited (NCOL), and Bharatiya Beej Sahakari Samiti Limited (BBSSL)--will enhance farmers' access to domestic and global markets, Shah stated. These organisations will inspire cooperatives worldwide, demonstrating how small farmers can reach international markets. Shah lauded cooperatives like Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO), Krishak Bharti Cooperative (KRIBHCO), and Amul for setting global benchmarks and expressed confidence that the new cooperative entities would similarly guide the global cooperative sector. He highlighted the strengthened legal framework for cooperatives following the Ministry of Cooperation's formation three years ago, which has driven significant initiatives such as White Revolution 2.0 and Blue Revolution, where cooperatives play a crucial role. Under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, comprehensive changes have been made in the cooperative sector over the past three years, Shah said. Plans are underway to establish a cooperative university to create trained, tech-enabled human resources. Additionally, a new cooperative policy will be introduced, adding new dimensions to India's cooperative movement. Shah reiterated the government's commitment to expanding the reach of cooperatives to every village and farmer in India. Efforts are ongoing to explore new areas and broaden the scope of cooperatives. He emphasised that the cooperative movement has opened numerous opportunities for empowering villages, farmers, women, and the underprivileged. Through this movement, the vision of "Sahkar Se Samriddhi" can be achieved in the future. He concluded by stating that the International Year of Cooperatives 2025, inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi, will empower millions of poor people, farmers, and women worldwide, enabling them to live with dignity and respect.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — What's stoking the Denver Broncos' surprising surge is the growing connection between rookie quarterback Bo Nix and veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Whenever the Broncos (7-5) need a clutch catch, a key flag or a timely touchdown, Sutton is usually the one delivering it like he did Sunday when he caught eight passes on 10 targets for 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns that sparked the Broncos' come-from-behind 29-19 win at Las Vegas. “Courtland played tremendous,” coach Sean Payton said. Again. “He’s just reliable,” Nix said. “He's just always there when you need him.” Sutton's size (6-foot-4 and 216 pounds) and experience (he's in his seventh NFL season) make him an ideal target and safety valve for the rookie QB whose confidence is growing by the week. “He’s smart. He’s savvy. He makes plays when the ball’s in the air,” Nix said. “You can trust him. When it’s up in the air, it’s his or nobody’s. It’s not going to be a pick.” Nix's first touchdown toss to Sutton was an 18-yarder that allowed the QB to break Marlin Briscoe's 1968 Denver rookie record of 14 TD passes, and the two connected again with 5:30 left to make it a two-score game. The Broncos trailed 13-9 at halftime and Nix said they knew they had to get the ball into Sutton's hands more in the second half after he had caught the only pass thrown his way in the first half (for 17 yards). “Didn’t target him (much) in the first half,” Nix said. “We come out and say, ‘Look, Courtland, this is your half.’ We take over the game. He goes for two touchdowns. That just kind of speaks for what he means to our team.” Sutton has been on a tear after since he wasn't targeted a single time in Denver's 33-10 win at New Orleans on Oct. 17. (Payton mentioned as recently as last week what an anomaly that game was because there was a heavy diet of plays for Sutton that just didn't pan out for various reasons.) In his six games before that goose egg, Sutton had 21 catches on 49 targets for 277 yards and a touchdown. In the five games since, he's caught 36 of the 48 balls thrown his way for 467 yards and three TDs. Plus, he threw a touchdown pass to Nix on a “Philly Special” at Baltimore in Week 9. “I think we're just scratching the surface,” Sutton said. Thanks in part to the chemistry between Nix and Sutton, the Broncos are in position for the seventh and final playoff spot entering December. What’s working The passing game, thanks to the Nix-Sutton connection. What needs help The running game. Javonte Williams had just 2 yards on eight carries and Audric Estime ran three times for 15 yards against the Raiders' run-heavy fronts and a steady diet of blitzes. Jaleel McLaughlin saved the day with seven carries for 44 yards. Stock up OLB Nik Bonitto. His 10 sacks make him the first Denver defender with double-digit sacks since 2018, when Von Miller did it. Stock down Once again, the Broncos' special teams, with the exception of K Wil Lutz, who hasn't missed a field goal attempt or extra point since his protection unit cratered at Kansas City three weeks ago and allowed the Chiefs to block what would have been the game-winning kick as time expired. On Sunday, the Raiders had a successful fake punt and a 59-yard kickoff return. Injuries Payton isn't saying much about the injuries to DE Zach Allen (heel) and CB Riley Moss (knee) except that to him they're not serious setbacks for either player. Key number 2 — The Broncos are two games above .500 for the first time since starting the 2021 season with three wins. Next steps The Broncos host Cleveland (3-8) on Monday night ahead of their bye week. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Arnie Stapleton, The Associated PressCo-Diagnostics stock hits 52-week low at $1 amid market challenges
