BOULDER, Colo. — A 72-year-old lifelong Colorado fan with end-stage kidney failure waited to the side of the field in his wheelchair for Travis Hunter and the rest of the Buffaloes. One by one, players strolled over and signed a football for Riley Rhoades, his face lighting up with each signature. Standing close by and taking in the scene was Jeremy Bloom. He's become a wish facilitator for older adults. Bloom, the former Colorado wide receiver and Olympic freestyle skier, started the Wish of a Lifetime foundation in 2008, which has made thousands of aspirations turn into reality for older adults. The list of granted wishes range from taking veterans back to the beaches of Normandy to helping late-in-life authors publish a book. He's staged concerts for musicians, assisted some in daredevil feats such as jumping out of an airplane and even lined up a meeting between an Olympic medalist and former President Barack Obama. For Rhoades, his wish was simply to return to Folsom Field again, the place where he used to have season tickets but hasn't attended a game since 2004. "Everybody has somebody in their life —a grandparent, friend, neighbor — at that age where you wish you had more resources to help," said Bloom, whose college career was cut short two decades ago when the NCAA denied his reinstatement to play football and still ski professionally after receiving endorsement money to fuel his Olympic dreams. "Nothing can compare to seeing someone else's eyes light up because you helped make their dream come true." The foundation is a tribute to his grandparents. But the concept began to take root when he was a teenager. He was in Japan for a World Cup freestyle skiing competition when a woman tried to hop on a crowded bus. There was no room, but everyone in front rose from their seats to make space. That stuck with him, along with seeing these acts of kindness for older adults all over Europe and Asia as he traveled. An idea formed — bring that same level of appreciation to the United States, with a wish-granting element. Bloom's organization has been a charitable affiliate of AARP since 2020. It was the yearning of Rhoades that brought the two of them to Folsom Field last weekend. Rhoades, who had season tickets at Colorado for 27 years, wanted to see the Buffaloes in person after watching the team's resurgence on television. A few years ago, Rhoades, who was born with spina bifida, was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure. Being among the 54,646 fans Saturday stirred up plenty of emotions for Rhoades, as he watched the 16th-ranked Buffaloes (8-2, 6-1 Big 12, No. 16 CFP) beat Utah. Colorado remains in the race for not only a conference title but a spot in the College Football Playoff. "It's just great to be back here again," Rhoades said as he pointed out the section where he used to watch games. "It's just ... so cool." For Bloom, the success that coach Deion Sanders has brought to the program means more reunions with teammates as they pass through town. "I've been through many years where nobody comes to visit," Bloom said. "It's fun that Boulder has become the epicenter of college football." Leading the way for Colorado this season have been quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Hunter, who's the Heisman Trophy frontrunner. But what particularly pleases Bloom is that Sanders, Hunter and the rest of college football players are able to finally profit through name, image and likeness. In his day, Bloom got caught in the NCAA crosshairs for wanting to play both sports and to have sponsors in one (skiing) so he could fund his Olympic aspirations. How time have changed. "I'm just really grateful that this generation of athletes gets to monetize their skills and ability," said Bloom, who finished sixth in moguls at the 2006 Winter Games in Italy. "It's the right thing." He's thrown his passion into fulfilling wishes such as learning ballet, riding in a Formula 1 pace car or taking a flight in a fighter jet. He's also helped reconnect families and friends, including a reunion for a trio of centenarian sisters who hadn't seen each other in more than a decade. This granted wish has stuck with Bloom: A person in Alabama wasn't able to travel after being diagnosed with end-of-life emphysema. So he asked for postcards to be sent, just to learn what made someone's town so special. He received 2,000 postcards from 26 different countries. "There's no end to the things that they've done for us in the world," Bloom said of older adults. "We're one of the organizations that reminds them that their dreams still do matter and that we still appreciate them and we cherish them."Preview: Mainz 05 vs. Bayern Munich - prediction, team news, lineups

Unamused 49ers GM: Cool it with Kyle Shanahan 'hot seat' talk

Jimmy Carter wore a button-down shirt in Khartoum. It was a sweltering morning and the sun shone on the Nile as the clamorous city was rousing to life. Carter was in the Sudanese capital to monitor the 2010 election that was certain to extend the rule of autocrat Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who had been indicted on international charges of crimes against humanity. Carter was not deterred. He believed the first multiparty election in decades — no matter how flawed — would bring the war-scarred country closer to democracy. His blue eyes agleam, his trousers pressed, the former president, a wanderer accustomed to the planet's cruel and harsh predicaments, offered coffee and pastries in his hotel room. He was optimistic but knew well what could happen when leaders with outsize ambitions controlled holy men and armies. I was in town covering the story for the Los Angeles Times, and a representative from the Carter Center called and invited me to breakfast. Carter, who died Sunday at 100 , was president when I was a teenager. I knew him well from TV — that swoop of hair, Southern accent and disarming resolve that confronted a post-Watergate world of gas lines, inflation, the Iranian hostage crisis and a sense that America was adrift. His presidency had been much maligned. But his second act as humanitarian, house builder, Guinea worm exterminator and Nobel Peace Prize winner was a portrait of perseverance and grace. An aide greeted me when I entered the hotel room. She quietly vanished. Carter walked in and sat on a small couch. Coffee was poured. A Danish slid onto a plate, a bit of fruit. Fishing boats were busy in the currents below and tea ladies dressed in plumes of colors stoked fires beneath blackened kettles on the corners. Carter spoke about Sudan — its possibilities and dangers, and the fact that in coming months the country's south, with its vast oil reserves, would hold an independence referendum on whether to secede from the north. Would Bashir relinquish the south to let it be governed by a former enemy in a cowboy hat, who presided over a territory with fewer than 100 miles of paved roads and a population that was 80% illiterate? Carter knew the personalities and pitfalls, the egos and secrets, the maps and ledgers. He had traveled across Sudan; years earlier he'd brokered a ceasefire in its civil war. He always went to the source, to places of refugees, poverty, disease and despair. To see and bear witness, much like the Bible school teacher he was back in Plains, Ga. He didn't know what would happen. But he had hope. The sun rose higher in the midmorning sky. The room quieted. "You're based in Cairo," he said. "Yes." He leaned closer. "Tell me about things," he said. "What's happening?" I felt like I was being quizzed by a man who had read countless dossiers and was intimate with the rise and fall of power. It was at once intimidating and bracing. The restlessness and anger in the Arab world were nearing a breaking point that would erupt months later. Tunisia would ignite into nationwide protests. An uprising in Egypt would bring down President Hosni Mubarak. Tremors would spread from Syria and Yemen and from Libya to Bahrain. There were few inklings when we met of what would unfold, but the Middle East that Carter had spent so much time navigating was about to come undone yet again. He mostly wanted to discuss the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the possibilities, no matter how remote, of any progress toward reconciliation on that front. In 1978, Carter had held talks at Camp David with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat that would lead to a historic peace treaty. Carter believed then — apparently wrongly, given the problems that would come — that the pact would bring wider regional stability. And he hoped it would one day lead to a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. Carter would later face criticism for his opinions on the issue. Many Jews and others were angered by his 2006 book, "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid," which they saw as painting Israel as an aggressor and being overly sympathetic to Palestinians. Carter defended the book as well as his meetings with Hamas, which critics argued enhanced the stature of the militant group that the U.S. and Israel consider a terrorist organization. Carter later told an audience in Cairo that apartheid "is the exact description of what's happening in Palestine now." But his vision remained focused, his commitment to peace unwavering. Three years later, in his book "We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land," Carter wrote: "Everyone who engages in Middle East peacemaking is bound to make mistakes and suffer frustrations. Everyone must overcome the presence of hatred and fanaticism, and the memories of horrible tragedies. Everyone must face painful choices and failures in negotiations. Nevertheless, I am convinced that the time is ripe for peace in the region." It was questionable then, and appears no less easier now. Carter had been in hospice since before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and killed some 1,200 people. Israel has been retaliating with an ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip that health authorities there say has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians. The Carter Center released a statement late last year saying: "The violence must stop now. There is no military solution to this crisis, only a political one that acknowledges the common humanity of both Israelis and Palestinians, respects the human rights of all, and creates a path for both societies to live side by side in peace." It would have been good to have heard Carter's own voice, his Southern-inflected resolve and traveler's wisdom. What struck me most in that Khartoum hotel room were his empathy and his insatiable need to know. He was relentless in his pursuit, to track down threads and unfold scenarios, to follow the great maneuverings and go where needed — like to Sudan, where years earlier he'd landed to try to help end fighting between Bashir's troops and rebels who later ascended to power in a new country. Bashir was overthrown in 2019, and Sudan is again in turmoil. It is difficult to mend the hard corners of the world. To find justice amid the stain of transgression. Carter's gift was his capacity to wonder; to know the bitter truths and imagine something better. ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit at latimes.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Liberals were apoplectic over Pete Hegseth’s patriotic and Christian tattoos, which include the Jerusalem cross and the Latin phrase Deus Vult, after Donald Trump tapped the veteran and Fox News host to helm the Pentagon. Would I ever get a Jerusalem cross on my chest or “We The People” on my forearm? No, of course not. I would look like a complete goon. Neither would liberals. But let’s imagine the kinds of tattoos Democrats and our favorite cable news personalities would get if they were so inclined. Rumor has it that many of the most prominent figures in politics and media have already taken the plunge and received their permanent ink. ( Click HERE to sign up for Mr. Right’s weekly newsletter) Ka-ma-la We all know Kamala Harris was drowning her sorrows with wine after her loss to Donald Trump. Heavy pours. I wouldn’t be shocked if she’s been polishing off at least two bottles of Whispering Angel rosé per day since early November. She might’ve been mixing wine with something more potent, say, edibles. If she were to get a drunken (and/or crossfaded) tattoo, there’s only one design befitting a corporate girl boss of her stature: the classic blue butterfly, a symbol of beauty, rebirth, and transformation. (Stream Daily Caller’s latest documentary ‘Cleaning Up Kamala’ HERE) Mayor Pete Pete Buttigieg is a lover and logistics man, first and foremost. But he also loves trains. He’s a trains guy. He loves taking long train rides and short ones, too. I have a sneaking suspicion Mayor Pete has the outline of a black heart on his wrist, to indicate that he wears his heart on his sleeve, and a much larger Thomas the Tank Engine tattoo on his lower back that appears to be chugging along down south. Russia Rachel Rachel Maddow, what a gal! Rachel is crazy about all things Russian . And in all likelihood, she still believes the Kremlin has microchipped Donald Trump’s brain and turned him into Putin’s little puppet. For someone as infatuated with the words “collusion,” “dossier” and “Steele” as her, it’s only fitting she would get the entire Steele Dossier — and I mean the entirety, every last salacious, baseless detail against Trump — neatly printed on her back in a typewriter font. The h ighly decorated and honorable retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, Alexander Vindman Alexander Vindman, one of Ukraine and the Deep State’s favorite dancing monkeys, is said to have a tattoo of his beloved and dear leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on his chest. He also has small, tasteful sunflower tattoos up and down both his arms. The sunflower is a cherished symbol in Ukraine and has been adopted as a sign of global resistance to Russia and Putin. Such a brave tattoo, so courageous. Sandy Cortez According to legend, when Sandy Cortez was attending Boston University — yes, she somehow got a college degree — she and her fellow pinko communists all got matching Che Guevara tattoos at a parlor in Dorchester, the working man’s neighborhood. Notably, the tattoos were in red ink. Not black, red . They said it was an act of collective rebellion against the capitalist oppressors, and I believe them. Mr. Potato Head Lovingly known as “ Jeff Zucker’s water boy ,” Brian Stelter was devastated when CNN president Jeff Zucker resigned in 2022. You can almost picture the CNN newsroom the day Zucker called it quits — it must’ve been like the iconic scene from “Dead Poets Society,” when the students stand up on the desks as Robin Williams departs his classroom for the final time. “O Captain! My Captain!” Stelter shouted out as he struggled to lift himself onto the top of his desk to catch one final glimpse of the man, the myth, the CNN legend. It is rumored that on the very same day Zucker resigned, Stelter walked to a dirty tattoo parlor in the Lower East Side and got a giant heart with Zucker’s name inside on his left bicep. “It’s perfect,” he apparently whispered to the tattoo artist. Big Bomber Bolton Heeeeere’s Johnny! John Bolton, America’s favorite mustached, draft-dodging warmonger , is said to have a giant tattoo of a bomb on his thigh. He is also considering an even bigger tattoo, some photo-realistic ink of Major Kong from “Dr. Strangelove” riding the nuke down to his glorious demise. If our lame duck president, Joe Biden, manages to drag America into a third world war, Bolton has promised to get Biden’s full name, including the middle one,” Robinette,” inked on his butt. That’s how much war, death and destruction mean to Big Bomber Bolton. This article is satire. Did you enjoy this post?

Tornquist lost his job because of his behaviour, which defence lawyer Mark Cronin said could be best described as "a brain fade". Mr Cronin said Tornquist reckoned the driver had no right to park their car in the location they did in Albury's Myer Centrepoint underground car park. "He decided to take this action to teach a lesson to the driver," he submitted to magistrate Melissa Humphreys. "Of course, it's not up to my client to take the actions he did." Police told Albury Local Court the 2021 grey Tesla 3 was fitted with cameras to record either side of the car. About 7.15am on October 2, 2024, the owner's husband left for work at Centrepoint. He parked in the underground car park in what police said was the place designated for the centre manager. At 12.31pm, Tornquist approached the car brandishing a screwdriver in his right hand. Tornquist bent down and twice punctured the back, driver-side tyre, causing it to immediately deflate. The Albury man then walked away. The entire incident was captured by the car's cameras. At 1.18pm, the owner received a notification the tyre had low pressure. She and her husband had a chat about the message, then he went to look at the car and saw the damage, so took a look at the footage. Police said the woman posted the image of Tornquist on a Facebook community page, and received several messages in reply identifying him. His uniform helped some people say it was Tornquist, who attended Albury police station the same day about 6pm. He initially declined to be interviewed as a "protected suspect" then made admissions to the crime, telling police his motivation was "teaching them a lesson for parking in a no-parking spot". Tonquist viewed the footage and admitted it was him. "The accused was remorseful and regretful of his decisions and his actions." Tornquist, who recently turned 59, pleaded guilty to destroy or damage property. Mr Cronin said Tornquist, who had also been suspended from his sports pistol club because of his actions, was a single man now supporting himself with some work as a truck driver. "This is not behaviour that this man would normally undertake," he said. Tornquist was placed on a 12-month, supervised conditional release order, without conviction, and ordered to pay $416 compensation to the victim within 21 days.

Imperial Security: Hire Only The Top Security Officers 11-25-2024 09:24 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: Content Hum Hire experienced and well trained officers for security and protection. In the contemporary world, where changes are occurring at a very fast pace, the need to protect businesses, societies, and people is becoming a priority. As a premier security service provider, Imperial Security has emerged as one of the most reliable security guard contractors in Calgary, Vancouver, and other regions. With more than 30 years in operation, the organisation has a wealth of knowledge and understanding in the provision of personalised security services. Using state-of-the-art equipment, Imperial Security provides full-time security services to avoid intruders and act quickly during security threats.

The bitter NFC rivals square off on Thursday Night Football. If the Rams win their playoff chances will improve to around 50 percent. If they lose those odds drop to 25 percent, irrespective of what happens around the rest of the division and league this weekend. 49ers Getting Slightly Healthier Ahead Of TNF Vs Los Angeles Rams And while the 49ers have a worse record and a severely injured starting lineup, they will get some reinforcement on both sides of the ball. It was reported this afternoon that they would activate linebacker Dre Greenlaw for the first time this season, the initially listed as questionable Nick Bosa and rookie running back Issac Guerendo are both now expected to play. Bosa is by far the 49ers’ best pass rusher, so getting him back is an instant upgrade to the whole unit after missing him for the last three games. They were only able to muster a paltry average of 10 pressures per game in that time. When healthy Bosa has averaged five pressures a game on his own. With Greenlaw, the benefit to the 49ers’ defense will be mitigated as he will be kept on a snap limit, but he will undoubtedly help in stopping the Rams’ formidable running backs, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. On offense, San Francisco’s running back room had grown bare after losing both Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason recently. But Guerendo has proved to have significant upside, with his sub-4.4 second 40-yard time. While he still has plenty of growth, head coach Kyle Shanahan has plenty of experience unleashing speedy lesser-known running backs in his offense. The Rams have struggled against strong and consistent rushing teams, posting the 27th-ranked EPA per play against the run this season. This article first appeared on LAFB Network and was syndicated with permission.

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepared to take the ball in the fourth quarter, offensive linemen were buzzing. “We got 48 more yards,” left guard Landon Dickerson told left tackle Jordan Mailata. The Eagles led the Dallas Cowboys by 27 points. Forty-eight yards until what, Mailata asked? “To 2K, you big dummy,” Mailata recalled Dickerson’s response. Running back Saquon Barkley was on the cusp of becoming the ninth player in NFL history to . Barkley heard the chatter as right tackle Lane Johnson told fellow linemen “this mother-F’er needs this to get it” and “let’s go get it,” Barkley said. Philadelphia then handed the ball to its marquee 2024 offseason signing on six straight plays. He ripped off six yards, then 11, then three, then nine. And then, with a 23-yard burst up the left sideline, Barkley surpassed 2,000 rushing yards on the season and hit 2,005. Head coach Nick Sirianni called a timeout to pull Barkley from the game. The Eagles celebrated. “I’m not going to lie, just being a fan of the game and the running back position, to reach a milestone and put myself up there with eight other backs that I respect, and some of them I grew up watching, definitely means a lot,” Barkley said after the . “You can’t be great without the greatness of others, and I’m just happy I was able to be a part of the team and be able to reach a milestone like that.” On Sunday, as the Eagles clinched the NFC East, the individual goals of Barkley and team goals of the Eagles largely aligned. Philadelphia needed this win, its 13th of the season, to lock in a home playoff game. Barkley’s production – which included 137 yards after halftime – helped secure the decision. But as Philadelphia looks to its regular-season finale, the team’s next set of goals poses a dilemma. Another rushing record, even more historic, is in reach. And yet: What if Barkley gets hurt chasing it in a game that won’t impact the Eagles’ playoff seeding? When the Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday evening, the Eagles locked in the No. 2 seed in the NFC. No longer will next week impact their postseason standing. Sirianni has a decision to make as he weighs risks and rewards. Sunday afternoon, he punted it. “We’ll always do what’s best for these guys, and that could mean playing them, that could mean resting them,” Sirianni said before the Vikings’ win changed the calculus. “I’ve got to think about that. Looking forward to going out on the field and playing catch with my kids after this, though. “And then I’ll think about that later.” In 1984, Los Angeles Rams running back Eric Dickerson set the single-season rushing record with 2,105 yards. Forty years later, no one has passed him. With 101 yards next week, Barkley would hit 2,106 and break the longstanding pacecar. Even more poetically, he would do so against the team that drafted him then let him walk in free agency nine months ago. In the Eagles and Giants’ first meeting this year, . Breaking Dickerson’s record tempts the second overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. He also understands how chasing it further could jeopardize Philadelphia’s postseason goals. “The way I look at it, if it's in God's plan, then it is,” Barkley said. “I'm not overly trying to go get it. I’m not scared of it. I would love to. But at the end of the day, also, we’ve got bigger things that we're focusing on. “I didn't come here and sign here just to rush for 2,000 or break a record. I want to do something special, meaning special with the team.” Barkley is the latest running back, but not the first, to enter the final week of the regular-season with a real chance to pass Dickerson. Adrian Peterson rushed for 2,097 yards with the Minnesota Vikings in 2012, but his helped the Vikings clinch a wildcard spot. Jamal Lewis despite the Baltimore Ravens clinching the AFC North earlier that day. His 114 yards entered him into the 2,000-yard club at 2,066 but not into the single-season recordholder spot. The closest rusher of the last decade was Derrick Henry in 2020, when he powered for 2,027 yards for the Tennessee Titans. Henry collected a whopping 250 of those in the regular-season finale win that clinched the Titans’ AFC South title. He didn’t reach Dickerson. So Sirianni’s most recent parallel to consider in his decision dates back more than two decades. His decision to keep Barkley in long enough to hit 2,000 yards on Sunday but no longer may indicate his tolerance threshold for the individual record. “I'll do what I think is necessary and best for the team to put ourselves in that position, but I also am very sensitive to records and all the things there,” Sirianni said. “So, we'll see how it goes.” The Eagles locker room was split. Barkley’s right tackle understands how rare it is to play with the rushing champion. When Johnson blocked for the 2013 title holder his rookie year, he figured such greatness was par for the course. Then more than a decade passed before he could reclaim that achievement. Also notable: LeSean McCoy led the league with 1,607 rushing yards that season. He was nearly 500 yards removed from the history books. So Johnson celebrated Barkley crossing the 2,000-yard mark as “special.” That didn’t sway his opinion on Barkley playing a playoff-meaningless game to catch Dickerson. “I mean, Eric Dickerson’s record was 16 games, so if it was 17 games, it’s not going to make sense anyways,” Johnson said. “Eric Dickerson is who he is. Saquon is who he is. We just wanted to get to 2,000. We were fine with that. “Better be safe than sorry.” Barkley disputed the asterisk with still broader historical context, noting that yes, he has a 17th regular-season game his record-setting predecessors did not – but also he’s not the first to benefit from a schedule expansion. Of the eight prior 2,000-yard rushers, seven played 16 games. O.J. Simpson rushed for 2,003 yards in 1973 with just 14 on his slate. Dickerson crossed the 2,000-yard threshold in his 15th game and then hit 2,105 after 98 more in try 16. “I know we don't really speak about that, but in reality, [Simpson] rushed for 2,000 in 14 games, [Dickerson], it took him 15,” Barkley said. “So if anything, it's like, why are we even having the conversation? Or if you're trying to get [Dickerson]'s record, if that's the conversation, it should be, ‘You’ve got to do it in 14.’ “The way football is right now, it's kind of hard to rush for 2,000 yards in 14 games. So, whether it's 16, whether it's 17, it's a feat that you can never take away from what I was able to do with the O-line. And only eight other players did it, so it's a special moment.” Teammates agreed. Receiver A.J. Brown told Barkley to “get it done but be safe” as he returned to the field to cross the plateau against the Cowboys, Brown also eager to join in updating the history books. “I’d like to say when I'm talking to my kids, ‘Oh I was a part of Saquon’s team when he did that,’” Brown said. “I want to be a part of it.” Cornerback Darius Slay said he’d “never witnessed nobody getting 2,000 yards before” and that he believed Barkley could have passed Dickerson on Sunday if he played the remainder of the fourth quarter. When asked by the Los Angeles Times last week if he wanted Barkley to pass his record, and added, “I don’t think he’ll break it.” That motivated Slay’s encouragement of Barkley, too. “Of course we need him way bigger than the record,” Slay said. “But I would love for him to have the record, especially after what Dickerson said – that was not cool.” Barkley said he didn’t see the comments “as a shot” or “throwing shade” because: “You shouldn’t want me to break your record.” The bigger question will be how strongly Sirianni feels about the risk and reward as the Eagles hope to return to the Super Bowl two years after their last appearance, and win it seven years after their last title. Barkley understands how difficult that postseason road is after playing with a Giants team that won fewer than seven games five of his six years. He played in just two playoff games, winning one, in six years. that division champions receive hats and T-shirts to celebrate. He wants to learn how to celebrate a Super Bowl championship, too. His best career season stands independent of his finale participation. “I came here to do something special, and obviously breaking the record is special,” Barkley said. “But I want a banner up there. I think we all do. But we gave ourselves a chance with that and clinched the playoffs before and now with the division. “Now it's up to Nick, and we’ll see where his mindset is.”Luminar Bolsters Ranks with Tech Industry Leaders
