Marcus Tomashek scores 30 and Division II Michigan Tech hands Green Bay its 8th straight lossSecurities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who was aggressive in his oversight of cryptocurrencies and other financial markets, will step down from his post on Jan. 20. Gensler pushed changes that he said protected investors, but the industry and many Republicans bristled at what they saw as overreach. President-elect Donald Trump had promised during his campaign that he would remove Gensler. But Gensler on Thursday announced that he would be stepping down from his post on the day that Trump is inaugurated. Bitcoin has jumped 40% since Trump’s victory. It hit new highs Thursday and was nearing $100,000. Bitcoin moved notably higher still after Gensler's resignation was announced. Gensler's stance on the rise of cryptocurrencies was captured during a speech he gave during the first year of his chairmanship in 2021 where he described the market as “the Wild West.” “This asset class is rife with fraud, scams, and abuse in certain applications,” he said in a speech at the Aspen Security Forum. “There’s a great deal of hype and spin about how crypto assets work. In many cases, investors aren’t able to get rigorous, balanced, and complete information.” Under Gensler, the SEC brought actions against players in the crypto industry for fraud , wash trading and other violations, including as recently as last month when the commission brought fraud charges against three companies purporting to be market makers, along with nine individuals for trying to manipulate various crypto markets. Yet access to cryptocurrencies became more widespread under Gensler. In January, the SEC approved exchange-traded funds that track the spot price of bitcoin. With such ETFs, investors could get easier access to bitcoin without the huge overlays required to buy it directly. Gensler, however, acknowledged the SEC had denied earlier, similar applications for such ETFs, including Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, among the first to eventually be approved by the SEC. “Circumstances, however, have changed,” Gensler said, pointing to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that said the SEC failed to adequately explain its reasoning in rejecting Grayscale’s proposal. Even there, Gensler made sure not to endorse the merits of bitcoin. He pointed to how ETFs that hold precious metals are tracking prices of things that have “consumer and industrial users, while in contrast bitcoin is primarily a speculative, volatile asset that’s also used for illicit activity including ransomware, money laundering, sanction evasion, and terrorist financing.” Gensler was tested early in his tenure with the rise of the meme stock phenomenon that shocked the financial system in early 2021. Earlier this year, the SEC under Gensler pushed Wall Street to speed up how long it takes for trades of stocks to settle, one of the areas where the commission’s staff recommended changes following the reckoning created by GameStop , one of the first meme stocks. In the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, hordes of smaller-pocketed and novice investors suddenly piled into the stock of the struggling video-game retailer. During the height of the frenzy, several brokerages barred customers from buying GameStop after the clearinghouse that settles their trades demanded more cash to cover the increased risk created by its highly volatile price. In May 2024, new rules meant broker-dealers have to fully settle their trades within one business day of the trade date, down from the previous two. Critics of the SEC under Gensler have called many of the agency's proposals overly burdensome. The investment industry, for example, is pushing against a proposal to force some advisers and companies disclose more about their environmental, social and governance practices, otherwise known as ESG. Critics say the proposal is overly complex and increases the risk of investor confusion, while imposing unnecessary burdens and costs on funds. On Thursday, Gensler stood by the SEC's track record under his direction. “The staff and the Commission are deeply mission-driven, focused on protecting investors, facilitating capital formation, and ensuring that the markets work for investors and issuers alike," Gensler said in prepared remarks. “The staff comprises true public servants." Gensler previously served as Chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, leading the Obama Administration’s reform of the $400 trillion swaps market. He also was senior advisor to U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes in writing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) and was undersecretary of the Treasury for Domestic Finance and assistant secretary of the Treasury from 1997-2001.lodigame.com login 。

Unlike Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU with their returns to NBC before the end of the 2024 TV schedule , the wait for Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 to premiere for fans with a Peacock subscription is still on. Production began back in August , but a major change behind the scenes has paused production, and it's a reveal that longtime OC fans should be used to by now. John Shiban has departed the NBC-turned-Peacock drama as the seventh showrunner to exit. It's game-changing news, as well as a reminder of what certain cast members previously told us about working with him during Season 4. John Shiban reportedly exited Law & Order: Organized Crime earlier in November and production paused as a result, according to Deadline . No new showrunner has been announced at the time of writing, but a familiar name from the nine-show Dick Wolf TV universe returning to his old stomping grounds. Matt Olmstead, the first showrunner of OC , is returning as an executive producer to help with the remaining scripts of Season 5. It's worth noting that he originally left OC very early on. Olmstead returned to the Wolf Entertainment world when he joined FBI: International as new EP/showrunner . At the time of writing, no explanation has been given for why Breaking Bad vet Shiban is stepping away from the series with production said to be around halfway done, which is particularly interesting since he and Christopher Meloni were the only two to have their involvement confirmed when the move from NBC to Peacock was first announced. This move makes him the seventh showrunner to depart, with the revolving door of bosses starting with (technically) Matt Olmstead, then Ilene Chaiken, Barry O'Brien, Bryan Goluboff, Sean Jablonski, and David Graziano. Season 5 would have been Shiban's second full season. And the departure of Shiban ahead of Organized Crime 's presumed return in the 2025 TV schedule reminded me of when I was fortunate enough to speak with cast members of Season 4 about what he brought to the hit crime drama. Danielle Moné Truitt, who plays Sgt. Ayanna Bell, said this about Shiban as the new boss ahead of the fourth season premiere: I feel like our scripts are very grounded this season. I think because of those other shows he was on, I think he brings a bit of that vibe to our show as well. It's network television, so it's going to be what it is, but I do think he brings just a little more gravitas to the world that we're in. And so I'm appreciating that. I've only read three of his scripts so far, because we're about to start Episode 4 soon Not only is John Shiban an alum of Breaking Bad , but the Emmy-nominated writer has been a producer on Ozark , Hell on Wheels , Supernatural , The X-Files , and more. More recently, he added Dune : Prophecy to his list of EP credits. Ahead of OC Season 4, Truitt appreciated his "grounded" approach to the Law & Order: SVU spinoff, and that's not all. She went on: I've read three of his scripts, I've liked the scripts. I've liked that he hasn't tried to change the characters or throw in stuff that's like, 'What? What is happening?' [laughs] It seems like he's watched the previous seasons. He's kind of in tune with who these characters are, and he's writing based on that. So I appreciate that. Season 4 was one of my personal favorite runs of Organized Crime to date, largely because of what Truitt said about what he brought to the show early on. Of course, I also have been a fan of his earlier projects – particularly The X-Files from a young age – so perhaps I'm biased! Dean Norris, who starred on Breaking Bad alongside Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul for five seasons, joined Organized Crime in Season 4 as a guest star and was promoted to series regular status for Season 5 . Back in April, toward the end of the fourth season, Norris shared that working with Shiban again was what hooked him into joining. He said: CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News It was fantastic. I mean, other than Chris Meloni, that's the reason for doing the show. John called and he said that we were going to be exploring the family relationships and stuff like that, and he certainly has come through with some great writing in that regard. And he proved his word to be true, and [there] continues to be great stuff, by the way. When I spoke with Norris, there were still several episodes left of Season 4 to air, although the action was certainly approaching its climax and cliffhanger that left me wondering if Season 5 would go full Breaking Bad . The actor continued: I've already seen almost to the end. I've only got one more script to read. So yeah, it's been great. I felt that I could trust what was gonna happen. We were talking in some interviews about our [Stabler family] dinner scene. That's a quintessential kind of John Shiban type thing, and it was great. Alas, Organized Crime is moving on from yet another showrunner after making the move to streaming. For now, we can only wait for news of who his replacement will be and when Season 5 will actually be ready to premiere. In the meantime, you can always revisit the first four seasons streaming on Peacock and even tune in to SVU when it returns from its devastating fall finale just in case Benson mentions Stabler as an update.Oklahoma residents on Sunday mourned the death of former Democratic U.S. Sen. Fred Harris , a trailblazer in progressive politics in the state who ran an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1976. Harris died on Saturday at 94. Democratic Party members across Oklahoma remembered Harris for his commitment to economic and social justice during the 1960s — a period of historical turbulence. Harris chaired the Democratic National Committee from 1969 to 1970 and helped unify the party after its tumultuous national convention in 1968 when protesters and police clashed in Chicago. “Fred Harris showed us what is possible when we lead with both heart and principle. He worked to ensure everyone had a voice and a seat at the table,” said Alicia Andrews, chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party. Harris appeared at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this year as a guest speaker for the Oklahoma delegation, where he reflected on progress and unity. "Standing alongside him in Chicago this summer was a reminder of how his legacy continues to inspire,” Andrews said. Kalyn Free, a member of the Choctaw nation of Oklahoma and the DNC, said that there is no one else in public service whom she admired more than the former senator. “He was a friend, a mentor, a hero and my True North. Oklahoma and America have lost a powerful advocate and voice,” Free said in a statement. “His work for Indian Country will always be remembered.” “Senator Harris truly was an Oklahoma treasure and was ahead of his time in so many ways,” said Jeff Berrong, whose grandfather served in the state Senate with Harris. “He never forgot where he came from and he always remained focused on building a society that would provide equality of opportunity for all.” Harris served eight years in the state Senate before he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served another eight years before his 1976 presidential campaign. State party leaders commemorated his work on the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, or the Kerner Commission, to investigate the 1960s riots. Harris was the last surviving member of the commission. Shortly after his presidential campaign, Harris left politics and moved to New Mexico and became a political science professor at the University of New Mexico. —- Lathan is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Daily life can get busy, and finding time for fitness often feels impossible. But yoga, with its flexibility and simplicity, offers a way to stay fit and focused even on the most hectic days. A simple and quick yoga session will not only benefit your health but also improve your lifestyle in hustle time. Here are five practical yoga hacks to help you incorporate this ancient practice into your routine, no matter how busy life gets. Start with short sessions Remember that yoga doesn’t have to take an hour, and even 10-15 minutes can make a big difference. Begin your day with a quick flow that includes basic poses like cat-cow, downward dog, and child’s pose. These stretches improve your body, release tension, and set a positive tone for the day. Starting small also removes the pressure of committing to long workouts, making it easier to stay consistent. Yoga | Canva Incorporate yoga into daily tasks Busy schedules mean multitasking, and yoga can fit right into your day-to-day activities. Practice balance poses like tree pose while brushing your teeth or doing simple stretches like forward fold during a coffee break. If you’re on long calls or waiting for something, use the time for seated twists or gentle shoulder rolls. These little moments keep your body active and reduce stiffness. Use guided yoga apps Technology makes it easier than ever to practice yoga anywhere. Download a yoga app or watch online videos for quick guided sessions. Many apps offer practices tailored to specific needs, like stress relief or back pain, and range from five to 30 minutes. A five-minute video can be perfect during a lunch break, while a longer session might fit better in the evening to unwind after a busy day. Yoga | Canva Focus on breathing techniques Yoga isn’t just about movement; its breathing exercises, or pranayama, offer powerful ways to stay calm and centred. Try alternate nostril breathing or simple deep belly breathing when you’re feeling overwhelmed. These techniques require no equipment and can be done anywhere—at your desk, in traffic, or during a short break. Regular practice helps manage stress and keeps your mind focused. Make a yoga space Having a dedicated space or simply keeping your yoga mat within reach can keep you motivated. A rolled-out mat serves as a gentle reminder to practice, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Whether it’s a corner in your living room or a spot near your desk, a ready space makes yoga more inviting and accessible.

Australian couple stranded in the Outback were stalked by giant crocodile for days after their car was washed away in a flood Couple in their 50s got caught in flood waters in Queensland The pair spent three days in the bush before being rescued READ MORE: Wild footage of rapid floods rocking Australia's east coast By ZAK WHEELER FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA and AAP Published: 12:48, 7 December 2024 | Updated: 12:50, 7 December 2024 e-mail View comments A missing couple were followed by a giant crocodile for days in Australia's remote north after their vehicle was swept in a flood leaving them stranded. The pair, aged in their 50s, spent three days exposed to the elements in the Gulf Country northwest of Staaten River National Park in Queensland after their four-wheel-drive was washed away in raging flood waters. The couple were airlifted to safety on Saturday and told rescuers the beast stalked them while they endured 40C heat with no food during the days and freezing temperatures over two nights. The only drinking water they had was from the crocodile-infested river. The couple first became stranded when they had tried to drive through a river crossing in their vehicle but it was washed away by a large wave of floodwater. They told rescuers they had to scramble out the passenger window to escape, with the male driver swimming back into the vehicle to free their two dogs. Without phones, the couple wrote two large SOS signs in the dirt and hoped someone would find them.

This is not the first time we have faced such challenges. What I can tell you is that every attack makes us stronger, and every obstacle becomes a stepping stone for a more resilient Adani Group." Published: November 30, 2024 10:40 PM IST By Edited by The Adani Group Chairman, Gautam Adani on Saturday spoke out on the recent allegations faced by him and other executives after being linked to an alleged bribery case in the US, saying that every attack has made the group stronger, and every obstacle becomes a stepping stone for a more resilient Adani Group. Speaking at the 51st India Gem and Jewellery Awards in Jaipur, the Adani Group Chairman said, “Less than two weeks back, we faced a set of allegations from the US about compliance practices at Adani Green Energy. This is not the first time we have faced such challenges. What I can tell you is that every attack makes us stronger, and every obstacle becomes a stepping stone for a more resilient Adani Group.” “The fact is that despite a lot of the vested reporting, no one from the Adani side has been charged with any violation of the FCPA or any conspiracy to obstruct justice,” the Adani Group Chairman added. The Adani Group Chairman also reflected on the consistent allegations made against his companies, including the attempt made by US short seller Hindenburg. “January last year, just as we were getting ready to launch our Follow-on Public Offering. We faced a short-selling attack initiated from abroad. This was not a typical financial strike; it was a double hit–targeting our financial stability and pulling us into a political controversy,” he said. “But even in the face of such adversity, our commitment to our principles remained strong. After successfully raising 20,000 crore rupees from India’s largest-ever FPO, we made the extraordinary decision to return the proceeds. We then further demonstrated our resilience by raising capital from several international sources and proactively reducing our Debt to EBITDA ratio to below 2.5 times, an unmatched metric in the global infrastructure space,” he added. Gautam Adani stated that the company’s all-time record financial results in the same year showcased its commitment to operational excellence. “Our all-time record financial results in the same year showcased our commitment to operational excellence. Not a single Indian or foreign credit rating agency downgraded us. Finally, the Supreme Court of India’s affirmation of our actions validated our approach,” he said. Gautam Adani also mentioned the 2010 controversy when the company made a move to invest in a coal mine in Australia. “The resistance from NGOs was huge and lasted almost a decade. In fact, it was so intense that we ended up funding the entire project of 10 billion dollars with our own equity. While we now have a world class operating mine in Australia and it could be seen as a great sign of our resilience, the fact is that 100% equity funding took away over 30 billion dollars of debt financing from our green energy projects,” he recollected. Gautam Adani further added that he had come to accept that the roadblocks were the price of pioneering. “I have come to accept that the roadblocks we face are the price of pioneering. The more bold your dreams, the more the world will scrutinize you. But it is precisely in that scrutiny that you must find the courage to rise, to challenge the status quo, and to build a path where none exists. To pioneer is to embrace the unknown, to break limits, and to believe in your vision even when the world cannot yet see it,” he asserted. In his speech the Adani Group chairman gave the audience three guiding thoughts, “First, embrace technology and sustainability as the twin pillars of progress.... Second, empower and uplift the skilled workforce at the heart of our transformation.... And finally, the future belongs to our youth. The younger generation brings fresh ideas, unshakeable energy, and a willingness to disrupt the old ways of thinking. We must nurture them.” “Let us create an India where the wisdom of tradition, and the promise of innovation come together to challenge the status quo. And let us move forward with confidence to create a future where India’s gems illuminate the world with their brilliance,” Gautam Adani concluded.
