Gender Dysphoria Overview Gender Dysphoria is a psychological condition where an individual experiences significant discomfort or distress due to a mismatch between their gender identity (how they perceive themselves) and their assigned sex at birth. This condition can impact mental well-being and may lead to anxiety, depression, or social isolation. Gender dysphoria is not the same as gender nonconformity and is recognized as a legitimate medical diagnosis. Treatment options often include counseling, hormone therapy, or gender-affirming surgeries to help align an individual's physical characteristics with their gender identity, ultimately improving their quality of life and mental health.

Biden weighs preemptive pardons for people on Trump’s enemies list

Following a shock resignation, a three-way political battle has begun in this affluent Melbourne electorateApia, Samoa – 27 November 2024 – The Central Bank of Samoa (CBS) has launched the CBS Regulatory Sandbox as part of a series of development policies issued for the development of Samoa’s financial sector. The Regulatory Sandbox is part of the CBS regulatory regime and will allow legal entities to test certain new, innovative and completed eligible financial products and services in a safe and controlled environment, prior to its deployment to the market. The Regulatory Sandbox is necessary to ensure the legal certainty for financial innovators and financial technology businesses (FinTech) who are willing to provide products and services which might not yet be fully regulated in Samoa but have significant potential to contribute to enhancing financial inclusion efforts for Samoa’s economic development. It will provide CBS with the opportunity to balance innovation and risks, facilitating innovative products and services to be trialed within stipulated terms and conditions while also ensuring the financial system is not exposed to unnecessary risks. However, the Regulatory Sandbox cannot be used as a means to circumvent existing regulatory and legislative requirements. The Regulatory Sandbox will support the CBS in safeguarding Samoa’s financial system stability and the promotion of financial inclusion as set out in the Central Bank of Samoa Act 2015 . Furthermore, it is also a part of the activities to support the objectives of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy 2022/2023 – 2025/2026 . With the official launch of the CBS Regulatory Sandbox, interested applicants can now submit their applications through the process as prescribed in the CBS Regulatory Sandbox Framework . However, early consultation with the CBS prior to the submission of the application is highly encouraged and recommended. The Regulatory Sandbox was developed with In-Country Implementation support from the Alliance for Finance Inclusion (AFI), a policy leadership alliance of financial regulators and policymakers with the common objective of advancing financial inclusion at the country, regional and international levels. “AFI continues to be an important policy partner of the CBS in its financial inclusion journey and we are extremely appreciative of the facility from AFI that has allowed the technical support to develop our regulatory sandbox – this realizes a major achievement for the CBS and a significant milestone to support developments in the financial sector. We look forward to working with eligible entities through the Sandbox program,“ said CBS Governor Maiava Atalina Ainuu-Enari. The CBS Regulatory Sandbox will also link up with regional efforts to establish a Pacific Regional Regulatory Sandbox. AFI continues to provide the assistance for this work to the Pacific.

Chipotle is raising its U.S. prices to offset inflation and to compensate for a promise to increase portion sizes. Chipotle’s chief corporate affairs officer, Laurie Schalow, confirmed Friday that the Mexican restaurant chain was implementing a 2% price increase nationally. Schalow said it’s the first time the California-based company has raised its prices in more than a year. Chipotle revealed the price increase after an analyst report released earlier this week by investment bank Truist Securities noted a 2% price increase at approximately 20% of the chain’s 3,500 U.S. stores. Truist, which raised its price target for Chipotle’s shares, also reported that customer traffic at the chain’s restaurants accelerated in November. Chipotle said in October that its food, beverage and packaging costs all increased in the third quarter. It cited avocados as an example. Avocado shipments from Mexico to the U.S. were briefly suspended in June after two U.S. Department of Agriculture employees were assaulted and temporarily held by assailants in the Mexican state of Michoacan. Chipotle also cited the cost of ensuring it was providing “consistent and generous portions” to its customers. Former Chairman and CEO Brian Niccol said in July that Chipotle was retraining workers at approximately 10% of Chipotle’s stores after customers complained on social media that they were getting smaller portions. Niccol left Chipotle in September to become the chairman and CEO of Starbucks, which has said it won’t raise prices through September 2025. Restaurant price inflation has aggravated U.S. consumers. The price of food eaten away from home rose 30% between October 2019 and October 2024, according to government figures. The price of food eaten at home rose 27% in that same period. Earlier this year, McDonald’s said it was seeing more customers eat at home instead of getting fast food because of price increases. The company responded with a $5 meal deal and other discounts.

SINGAPORE: The surprise firing of two Hong Kong ministers on Thursday (Dec 6) was a “strategic” and “administrative” decision long in the making, sources and experts told CNA. The move could ultimately help the city bolster its lucrative tourism sector’s recovery, though challenges remain, they add. Hong Kong, once a leading tourism hub, has been trying to lure visitors back after gradually reopening its borders in 2022. Chief Executive John Lee may not have addressed specific mistakes that might have led to the dismissals of Mr Kevin Yeung Yun-hung and Mr Lam Chi-ting but it is timely to note several missteps and controversies that had been allowed to happen under their watch, sources and industry watchers told CNA. A long-time bureaucrat who joined Hong Kong’s civil service back in 1992, Mr Yeung Yun-hung’s two-and-a-half-year tenure was marred by controversies, notably earlier this year when Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi failed to appear in a much-anticipated and advertised match between Inter Miami and a city select team. The Messi aftermath played out in Hong Kong for days , sparking a public uproar and raising questions about the government’s ability to handle major sporting events. Experts said the mishap served to highlight Mr Yeung’s “incompetence” in the eyes of Mr Lee and was likely to have played a part in his dismissal. He had also been criticised for delays in submitting a major development blueprint for Hong Kong’s creative industries, a fumbling that was singled out by Mr Lee during a keynote policy address in October. As Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Mr Lam, also a trained civil engineer, had been criticised harshly for poorly overseeing a HK$141.5 billion (US$18.2 billion) third-runway project at Hong Kong International Airport. “Lam doesn’t understand transport and Yeung has been incapable since day one,” said an insider from the tourism sector, speaking to CNA on the condition of anonymity. Associate Professor Alfred Wu from Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy said Mr Lee openly criticised Mr Yeung’s delays in submitting the creative industries blueprint, which was a “very clear signal” of discontent. But at the same time, Assoc Prof Wu also cautioned reading too much into the potentially political nature of the recent dismissals, highlighting the “increasingly opaque” nature of Hong Kong’s political landscape. “Sometimes it's very difficult (to read),” Assoc Prof Wu said, also suggesting that political trajectories in Hong Kong were known to shift. Dismissing and replacing cabinet members is not a new phenomenon in Hong Kong, he added. “Replacement is not a strange thing or something that suddenly happens,” Assoc Prof Wu said, also noting that former Chief Executive Carrie Lam “did the same thing” and that these were changes that could be expected to “occur in the midterm”. During Ms Lam’s tenure, six ministers were either removed or resigned in a major reshuffle with Ms Lam describing herself as the “chief executive who replaced the most officials”. The Political Appointments System, introduced by former Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa in 2002, marked a shift toward greater political accountability, as appointees were expected to shoulder responsibility for policy outcomes. Since its inception, 14 ministers, have resigned or been dismissed. Mr Yeung and Mr Lam are the first sackings since Mr Lee was appointed in 2022. Assoc Prof Wu believes that their dismissals were more of a strategic and “administrative” decision. “Fundamentally, Hong Kong is not a city-state where one person makes the final decision. There are quite a lot of actors,” he said, adding that he thought Mr Lee was being “smart in how he navigated this”. PRIORITISING TOURISM Hong Kong’s once-lucrative tourism sector has struggled to recover from losing visitors due to fallback from pro-democracy protests and later, the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitor numbers reached 34 million last year, only 52 per cent of its total in 2018. However, the city did recently manage to reclaim its spot as Asia’s top financial centre and climbed to fifth in the Global Financial Centres Index. It also reached another significant milestone in its tourism recovery: Welcoming one million Filipino visitors for 2024. "Tourism models have changed post-pandemic," Mr Lam Chi-ting, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions’ travel committee, told CNA. "Attracting visitors now requires new strategies, creating immense stress for those in charge." A telling sign of this was also made by Mr Lee during his press conference on Dec 5, in which he highlighted Hong Kong’s evolving position on the global stage which necessitated strong leadership. “I want to recover the time. I want to chase back the results and time and I see the strengths of the two newly appointed secretaries,” Mr Lee said of newly appointed cabinet faces, Ms Rosanna Law Shuk-pui, former permanent secretary for housing and Ms Mable Chan, who served as the permanent secretary for transport and logistics. “They will be assisting me more to realise my goal of ensuring results and also doing as much work as possible in the coming years,” Mr Lee said. “Two and a half years is a long time and I do think that we can make the best use of this period to create the best result... for the people of Hong Kong so we can all reap the benefits of our economic development and also other policy measures.” CHALLENGES REMAIN But while the reshuffle might have been very likely driven by the need for Hong Kong’s government to cultivate a more effective tourism strategy, challenges like interdepartmental coordination still remain unresolved. Despite the optimism of some, experts remain sceptical about whether the reshuffle could really address the root issues in holding back Hong Kong tourist arrival figures and ultimately, economic recovery. “Coordination is the root problem in Hong Kong’s government,” said the industry insider. “Policies often clash, such as safety regulations leading to the demolition of tourist-attracting neon signage. This bureaucratic rigidity hampers progress.” Newly appointed Ms Law, often praised for her pragmatic approach, has over three decades of government service and takes charge amid renewed efforts to enhance the image of Hong Kong’s reputation as a tourist destination. “She understands the industry and is straightforward, not one for vague statements,” Mr Lam said, adding that her experience in the Tourism Bureau would prove valuable. But industry experts emphasised the need for Hong Kong’s new leaders to look beyond visitor numbers. As efforts like a multiple-entry Individual Visit Scheme for Shenzhen permanent residents are launched, the question remains whether Mr Lee’s revamped line-up can successfully harmonise efforts across departments to create a seamless experience for visitors. The tourism insider who declined to be named highlighted the potential for Hong Kong’s tourism to thrive if data could be analysed separately from mainland visitors. Visitors from the Chinese mainland have been the driving force behind Hong Kong’s tourist arrivals, accounting for nearly 80 per cent of yearly visitor numbers since the Individual Visit Scheme launched in 2003, according to statistics by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. “There should be good KPIs to measure performance, such as the impact of mega events or the number of overseas visitors—not mainland visitors, as they belong to the same country,” said the insider.Jets' Ulbrich says Rodgers 'absolutely' remains the team's starting quarterback

Ramiro Enrique, Pedro Gallese lead Orlando City past Atlanta United 1-0 for trip to conference final

LISBON (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was looking for a statement win from his side on Tuesday and got it as they brushed aside in-form Sporting Lisbon with a superb display in a 5-1 away Champions League victory. Arteta praised his team’s intelligent use of the ball and their tenacity against a Sporting team that beat Manchester City 4-1 in their previous Champions League outing and had won 17 of their previous 18 games in all competitions. "I’m very happy, it is a big result against a big opponent," Arteta said. "We wanted to make a statement. I felt a really good energy before the match, but you have to put it into practice. "The first half was exceptional and gave us the platform to win the game. We were really clever and efficient in the way we attacked them. It is an important win for us." Arsenal looked untouchable in the first half as they went into the break 3-0 up, but a goal early in the second period for Sporting changed the mood in the stadium until Bukayo Saka scored a fourth to swing the momentum their way once more. "The atmosphere was changing (when Sporting scored), they had belief, but after that we showed our personality to get on the ball again, to defend deeper if we needed to and the fourth goal changed it again," Arteta said. "We have to enjoy it, playing in this competition against these sorts of team. I was pleased with how the performance flowed." Arsenal had been in a mini-slump of three games without a win before a 3-0 win over high-flying Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this past weekend. Backing up a victory with another dominant display is something they will have to do all season long if they are to be successful, according to Arteta. "We need the consistency, if you want to be going for championships then you have to win and win again. Today was a different type of game but we handled it well and let's move on now," he said. Arsenal are next in action on Saturday when they travel to West Ham United in the Premier League. (Reporting by Nick Said; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)

Phishing Prevention Framework Reduces Incidents by Half

Ange Postecoglou has revealed his wife was unimpressed with him for confronting angered Tottenham fans on Thursday night. Postecoglou was booed by supporters following their 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth, their sixth league loss of the season. He appeared to respond to some fans in particular before heading down the tunnel and telling talkSPORT after: "They're disappointed and I got some pretty direct feedback, which is always healthy mate." When asked if he regretted it the following day, he said: "No. They felt like they needed to give me feedback, so I thought I’d get close enough for them to make sure they were heard." Postecoglou added: "Hopefully after 18 months, you’ve realised that I am who I am. I don’t really care. Whether people think I’m an easy target, soft target. I’m going to shy away from it. "I’ve fought my whole life and I’m not going to race down the tunnel because some people feel like they need to give me some direction. It doesn’t bother me, it doesn’t. "From my perspective, what motivates me and what drives me on a daily basis is continually staying true to my values and what I believe is the right thing to do in every situation. Maybe people thought it wasn’t the right thing to do. "My wife certainly didn’t. So I got some feedback there as well. But that’s ok. I’m not going to change. It’s who I am, mate. I’ve been like that my whole career and I won’t change." Spurs started excellently under Postecoglou at the beginning of last season but the past year has delivered hugely fluctuant form. This has seen a souring of the relationship between him and the fans, with the visit of Manchester City in May a particular instance of this. Many supporters were controversially keen to see a Spurs defeat as a win could have helped arch-rivals Arsenal to win the Premier League. Postecoglou said beforehand he 'will never understand' fans wanting their own team to lose, and ex-Spurs man Darren Bent believes this is when the relationship started to crack. "I like 'Big Ange', I think the football he plays is entertaining," he said on talkSPORT Drive. "But we've always said he needs a plan B and he's said he's not got it, fair play, if that's the way he wants to go about it, that's the way he wants to go about it. "But I almost feel the divide started properly last season, when he couldn't understand why the Tottenham fans wanted his side to lose against Manchester City, which would have effectively helped Arsenal win the title. "I don't think he's ever recovered from that, I don't think that the divide between the two has ever recovered to be fair because he had some fans going, 'What? He doesn't understand what he means.' "I can understand both sides to be fair, I understand Spurs fans not wanting Arsenal fans to get that joy, that, 'Thanks, you won the game so we won the league,' I understand that, but being a Premier League manager is hard enough as it is. "So you can't pick and choose where you take results so from Ange's perspective, he's thinking, 'Well, it's not really about what Arsenal do, it's about us improving and to improve, we have to beat sides like Manchester City.' So, I could see both sides of it. "But I always felt like there was never, not no coming back from that, but that was where the divide started to really kind of happen. And he's questioned his side's mentality, there's been so many questions to him about the supporters and what they think. "Even his answers there, he says, 'They don't have to back me, they've got to back the team.' In that, I kind of understand that as well because you want your team to do well... Where this ends, I don't know because yes, their form's not great. "I wouldn't say it's horrific like some teams, do you know what I mean? But, realistically as well, where should Tottenham be at this moment in time? That's the obvious question." "I think they're better than 10th with the players they've got, I really do," said host Andy Goldstein, and Bent replied: "OK. "So, if you're looking at realistic situations right, they should be above Bournemouth, [Nottingham] Forest, Fulham and Brighton, right? But unfortunately, names of clubs and names on paper is irrelevant." "Where this ends, I don't know," Bent added. "Does he last the end of the season? I'm not sure. "But I just think he's been so blunt in some of his answers, when they've said about a set-piece coach, 'Nope.' "People can poke fun all they want about Arsenal scoring set-plays... And look at the game the other night against Manchester United, hardly anything in it, two set-plays, you win 2-0. "That's how important [it is], but the fact that he's like, 'Nope, we don't need them, nope.'" Spurs have won just three of their last eight Premier League matches and face a tough run of fixtures in the forthcoming weeks. They first have a huge home clash on Sunday against Chelsea , who ended Postecoglou's unbeaten league run with a 4-1 win last season. Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle will present huge tests over the festive period and New Year. Spurs also face a trip to Rangers in the Europa League and a Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Manchester United.A ceasefire deal that could end more than a year of cross-border fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group has won the backing of Israeli leaders, raising hopes and renewing difficult questions in a region gripped by conflict. Hezbollah leaders also signalled tentative backing for the US-brokered deal, which offers both sides an off-ramp from hostilities that have driven more than 1.2 million Lebanese and 50,000 Israelis from their homes. An intense bombing campaign by Israel has killed more than 3,700 people, many of them civilians, Lebanese officials say. But while the deal, set to take effect early Wednesday, could significantly calm the tensions that have inflamed the region, it does little directly to resolve the much deadlier war that has raged in Gaza since the Hamas attack on southern Israel in October 2023 that killed 1,200 people. Hezbollah, which began firing scores of rockets into Israel the following day in support of Hamas, has previously said it would keep fighting until there was a stop to the fighting in Gaza. Here’s what to know about the tentative ceasefire agreement and its potential implications: – The terms of the deal The agreement reportedly calls for a 60-day halt in fighting that would see Israeli troops retreat to their side of the border while requiring Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swathe of southern Lebanon. Us President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that the deal is set to take effect at 4am local time on Wednesday. Under the deal, thousands of Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers are to deploy to the region south of the Litani River. An international panel lead by the US would monitor compliance by all sides. Mr Biden said the deal “was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” Israel has demanded the right to act should Hezbollah violate its obligations. Lebanese officials have rejected writing that into the proposal. Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, insisted on Tuesday that the military would strike Hezbollah if the UN peacekeeping force, known as Unifil, does not provide “effective enforcement” of the deal. – Lingering uncertainty A Hezbollah leader said the group’s support for the deal hinged on clarity that Israel would not renew its attacks. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Qatari satellite news network Al Jazeera. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state” of Lebanon, he said. The European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said on Tuesday that Israel’s security concerns had been addressed in the deal also brokered by France. – Where the fighting has left both sides After months of cross-border bombings, Israel can claim major victories, including the killing of Hezbollah’s top leader, Hassan Nasrallah, most of his senior commanders and the destruction of extensive militant infrastructure. A complex attack in September involving the explosion of hundreds of walkie-talkies and pagers used by Hezbollah was widely attributed to Israel, signalling a remarkable penetration of the militant group. The damage inflicted on Hezbollah has come not only in its ranks, but to the reputation it built by fighting Israel to a stalemate in the 2006 war. Still, its fighters managed to put up heavy resistance on the ground, slowing Israel’s advance while continuing to fire scores of rockets, missiles and drones across the border each day. The ceasefire offers relief to both sides, giving Israel’s overstretched army a break and allowing Hezbollah leaders to tout the group’s effectiveness in holding their ground despite Israel’s massive advantage in weaponry. But the group is likely to face a reckoning, with many Lebanese accusing it of tying their country’s fate to Gaza’s at the service of key ally Iran, inflicting great damage on a Lebanese economy that was already in a grave condition. – No answers for Gaza Until now, Hezbollah has insisted that it would only halt its attacks on Israel when it agreed to stop fighting in Gaza. Some in the region are likely to view a deal between the Lebanon-based group and Israel as a capitulation. In Gaza, where officials say the war has killed more than 44,000 Palestinians, Israel’s attacks have inflicted a heavy toll on Hamas, including the killing of the group’s top leaders. But Hamas fighters continue to hold scores of Israeli hostages, giving the militant group a bargaining chip if indirect ceasefire negotiations resume. Hamas is likely to continue to demand a lasting truce and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in any such deal. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas offered a pointed reminder on Tuesday of the intractability of the war, demanding urgent international intervention. “The only way to halt the dangerous escalation we are witnessing in the region, and maintain regional and international stability, security and peace, is to resolve the question of Palestine,” he said in a speech to the UN read by his ambassador.

GMM stock plunges to 52-week low of $0.22 amid market challengesTonight at 8 PM Eastern , expert oil and gas analysts will debate the future of the energy sector in a live , premium-only event only on ZeroHedge. Join us for a deep dive, featuring two highly respected strategists with contrasting views: Paul Sankey, the bear, and Josh Young, the bull. Paul Sankey is a renowned oil analyst with over three decades of experience, known for his independent and bold market calls. Sankey founded Sankey Research in 2020. His current outlet, oil price to decline for the following reasons: Global Supply Stabilization : While oil prices are currently high, there is limited price elasticity of supply, meaning higher prices have not led to increased production, especially from major oil producers like Saudi Arabia and OPEC+. Venezuela Production Resumption : The Biden administration has granted Chevron a license to resume oil production in Venezuela, which could add 200,000 barrels per day back into the market, easing supply concerns. OPEC+ : Political instability in countries like Iran and Venezuela, along with the ongoing protests in China, could have mixed effects on the oil market. However, OPEC+ may respond by adjusting their production strategies, potentially leading to a price correction. Strong U.S. Market Fundamentals : Despite bearish sentiment, the U.S. has emerged strong from mid-term elections, with global energy crises providing a backdrop for continued demand, although high oil prices may still encourage supply adjustments. Josh Young, Chief Investment Officer at Bison Interests , brings nearly two decades of expertise in oil and gas investing. Even with a Trump “drill baby drill” win , he remains as a strong advocate for the bullish potential of the oil and gas industry, particularly within the E&P space. Demand Outpaces Supply in 2024: Global oil demand has exceeded supply by 0.58 mbd (million barrels per day), leading to unexpected inventory draws and lower U.S. oil stock levels, which are at a 20-year low. Slowing Non-OPEC Production Growth: Growth in non-OPEC production is slowing, with key sources like the Permian Basin and Guyana contributing less in 2025 compared to previous years, leaving a production shortfall. Rising Demand in Developing Economies: Stronger-than-expected demand growth, particularly from India and China, is putting additional strain on global oil supply. China's record oil imports are a key factor. Market Tightness and Price Volatility: With continued demand growth and production struggles, oil supply shortages could persist, leading to significant price volatility, similar to the 2020-2022 price surge. Potential Geopolitical Risks: Ongoing geopolitical tensions, like potential disruptions in the Middle East, could further tighten oil supplies and push prices higher.

Report: Hornets F Grant Williams (knee) out for seasonNew York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Aaron Rodgers “absolutely” will remain the team's starting quarterback and start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Rodgers, who turns 41 next Monday, has been hampered at times during the Jets' 3-8 start by various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, sprained ankle and balky hamstring. Ulbrich said Monday the quarterback came back from the team's bye-week break ready to go. “All I can say, and you'd have to ask Aaron if he's fully healthy, but he's better off today than he's been as of late,” Ulbrich said. "So he's definitely feeling healthier than he has probably for the past month. A healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love. “So, I'm excited about what that looks like.” NFL Network reported on Sunday that Rodgers, who missed all but four snaps last season with a torn left Achilles tendon , has declined having medical scans on his injured leg so he can continue to play. “I have not been informed of that, either way,” Ulbrich said. Rodgers suffered what NFL Network reported was a “significant” hamstring injury against Denver in Week 4. He then sprained his left ankle against Minnesota in London a week later. The four-time MVP has not been able to consistently move around during games as he has in the past, when extending plays and making things happen on the run became such a big part of his game. Rodgers said leading into New York's 28-27 loss to Indianapolis last Sunday that it was the healthiest he felt in a while. But he struggled against the Colts, finishing 22 of 29 for 184 yards after a brutally slow start during which he went 9 of 13 for just 76 yards. The Athletic reported last week that owner Woody Johnson broached the idea during a meeting with the coaching staff of having the banged-up Rodgers sit after the Jets' loss to Denver in Week 4. With Rodgers' struggles and perhaps compromised health the past few games, a hot debate on social media and sports talk shows during the past week has been whether the quarterback should take a seat in favor of Tyrod Taylor. But when asked if there has been any talk of shutting down Rodgers, Ulbrich replied flatly: “There has not.” In a follow-up question, the interim coach was asked if Rodgers will, in fact, be the Jets' starting quarterback at home Sunday against the Seahawks. “Absolutely,” Ulbrich said. He added that he didn't feel the need to sit down with Rodgers and address all the reports and chatter outside the facility. “No, I feel like we are on the same page,” the coach said. Last week, Ulbrich said he and his staff would take “a deep dive” into what the team could do better after losing seven of its past eight and being on the verge of missing the postseason for the 14th consecutive year. Ulbrich opted not to make any changes to the coaching responsibilities of his staff and he will continue to run the defense as the coordinator. He also said there would not be any personnel changes coming out of the bye, barring injuries. “But definitely, we created a really clear vision of where we need to improve and found some things,” Ulbrich said. “Obviously, you find the things that you’re not doing well, you need to improve upon them, but then also found some some things that I think we can really build upon. So I was excited in both ways.” Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas last Tuesday, six weeks after he also dismissed coach Robert Saleh. On Monday, the team announced it would be assisted by The 33rd Team , a football media, analytics and consulting group founded by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, in its searches for a general manager and coach. Ulbrich insisted that isn't creating an awkward situation for him, in particular, as he and his staff focus on the present while the organization begins planning for the future. “In all honesty, it’s not at all,” Ulbrich said. “My singular focus is just finishing the season off the right way, playing a brand of football we’re all proud of, myself included. And that starts with Seattle.” Injuries LB C.J. Mosley said he's “progressing” in his return from a herniated disk in his neck, but is still uncertain about his availability for Sunday. Mosley said Monday was the first time he put on a helmet since the injury occurred during pregame warmups against New England on Oct. 27. ... Ulbrich said the team is still evaluating LT Tyron Smith, who missed the game against Indianapolis with a neck ailment. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Dennis Waszak Jr., The Associated PressMinnesota Governor Tim Walz said in two recent interviews that he was "a little surprised" by Kamala Harris's devastating loss in the 2024 presidential election. "I thought we had a positive message and the country was ready for that," Walz told KSTP 5 Eyewitness News. Walz, who was Kamala Harris' running mate on the Democratic ticket, stated that he believed the Democrats were on track for victory in the lead-up to the election. However, the lost both the popular vote and all seven swing states to President-elect Donald Trump when the results came on the election night. "It felt like at the rallies, at the events I was attending, the shops I was visiting, that momentum was going our way — and it obviously wasn’t in the end," Walz said. Walz Explains The Reasons Behind Kamala Harris' Defeat Walz, 60, noted that listening more was one of the lessons he learned from the election defeat. The Minnesota governor was asked if he believes he helped or hindered the Harris ticket as Democrats and political analysts continue to discuss what went wrong for the party in 2024. He said he couldn't judge that himself. "History will write that. It wasn’t my decision to make. It was the vice president’s decision," Walz said. "As I’ve said during this campaign, when you ask the question, 'Were there things that could have been done differently?' Since we lost, the answer is obviously yes. On this one, I did the best I could." Is Walz Planning A Third Run For Governor? The 60-year-old did not specify his plans for his second term in Minnesota, including whether he will seek reelection for a third term as governor of a state without term limits. "I think it’s a little too early to tell. We’re focusing on an upcoming legislative session. We’ll keep working on that, and then we’ll decide from there," Walz said.
