I don’t care if you die. Lock me up for life.” Neely did die, after Daniel Penny, an architecture student and Marine veteran, restrained him in a choke hold. Mr. Penny was prosecuted for manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. On Monday, a jury found him not guilty of criminally negligent homicide and deadlocked on second-degree manslaughter. The verdict, like the case, has been divisive. “You can’t do this to American heroes,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), urging the Justice Department to “hold New York accountable” for trying Mr. Penny in the first place. Meanwhile, the New York City Council’s Black, Latino and Asian Caucus called Mr. Penny’s actions “vigilante justice” and blamed the gaps in the city’s social safety net.

A three-day international conference titled "Language Metamorphosis: Implications for Language Education in Decolonial Contexts" (LMLEDC) organised by the BRAC Institute of Languages (BIL) began at BRAC University on November 28. This event aims to analyze the transformative shifts in language education shaped by colonial legacies and explore their global impact on teaching methodologies and learning practices. The conference has brought together over 300 scholars, language practitioners and students from Bangladesh and around the world to discuss critical themes, including multilingual education, language policy, linguistic diversity, and decolonial approaches to education. It features six distinguished keynote speakers, four distinguished scholars, two talented academics, two plenary sessions, two colloquium sessions, and 151 presentations, promising academic exchanges and impactful discourse. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Professor Dr Bidhan Ranjan Roy Poddar, Adviser, Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, as the Chief Guest. Dr Salimullah Khan, Professor, General Education Program, University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh, delivered remarks as the guest of honour. Other notable attendees included Professor Ferhat Anwar, Vice-Chancellor, BRAC University; Professor Syed Mahfuzul Aziz, Pro Vice-Chancellor, BRAC University; Professor Mohammad Ashaduzzaman, Director, International Mother Language Institute; Tamara Hasan Abed, Chairperson, Board of Trustees, BRAC University; Lady Syeda Sarwat Abed, Adviser and Founder of BIL; and Dr Shaila Sultana, Director, BIL and Convenor of the conference. Lady Syeda Sarwat Abed, in her opening remarks, shared Sir Abed's vision of BRAC University as a centre for holistic education, shaping students into changemakers. She highlighted the BRAC Institute of Languages (BIL) for its role in knowledge creation and promoting multilingualism as a bridge to global understanding. Professor Dr Poddar emphasised that Bangla represents our identity and aspirations, urging that multilingualism should not overshadow our mother tongue. He praised the BRAC Institute of Languages (BIL) for its innovation and inclusivity in linguistic education and highlighted the conference as a key platform for generating ideas and solutions to advance this field. Professor Khan highlighted that the conference should foster discussion and idea exchange, rather than seeking unanimous agreement. While advocating for improved literacy rates, he expressed concern that relying solely on foreign languages may not suffice. He acknowledged the global importance of English but stressed that inclusive education must prioritise linguistic diversity, with the mother tongue at the forefront to ensure accessibility for all. Tamara Hasan Abed underscored the need to advocate for curricula that foster linguistic diversity, ensuring that education becomes a tool for inclusivity and cultural preservation. Professor Syed Ferhat Anwar expressed his hope that the conference would become a platform for the democratization of knowledge through language. He underscored the significance of cultivating empathy and respect for linguistic diversity in achieving this goal. In her closing remarks, Professor Shaila Sultana outlined the key highlights of the three-day conference and expressed her gratitude to all attendees for their efforts in making the event a success.

NoneMiami had topped the Eastern Conference and the overall regular season standings with a record points tally a performance which earned them the 'Supporters' Shield'. But there would be no title battle against the best in the West for Lionel Messi and Company after they contrived to lose two matches in their best-of-three series against an Atlanta United team which finished ninth in the East and 20th in the overall standings. "I think this format is a bit unfair. It has been done for many years but I think it should be the champion of one conference against the champion of the other, to make it as fair as possible," Alba said. Alba's comments prompted much debate among MLS fans and plenty of accusations of sour grapes but they did serve to highlight that this year's playoffs, if not MLS's playoffs in general, would certainly not be a battle of the best versus best. Defending champions Columbus Crew, who finished second in the Supporters' Shield race, were also eliminated in the first round, adding to the sense that the knockout phase of the season is very much a competition of its own. So on Saturday, after the international break disrupted the flow of the post-season, the Conference semi-finals, will see a "Hudson River Derby" between two New York teams who couldn't finish in the top 10 in the regular season. New York City, Manchester City's sister club, have home-field advantage after finishing in 13th spot while the New York Red Bulls travel from New Jersey, having ended up in 16th place. The 'home field' isn't actually NYCFC's usual home of Yankee Stadium, which is being used for a college football game, but Citi Field, home of New York's other baseball club, the Mets. Later on Saturday, in the Western Conference, 2022 MLS Cup winners and last year's beaten finalists, Los Angeles FC, are at home to the Seattle Sounders. That fixture feels much more like the kind of playoff game that was expected -- LAFC finished top of the West while Seattle were fourth. LAFC faces the Sounders for the fourth time in an elimination match over the last 13 months, having defeated Seattle in the 2023 Western Conference semifinals, the 2024 Leagues Cup quarterfinal and the 2024 US Open Cup semifinal. Each of those matches was hosted by Seattle. LAFC, with former France stars in goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and striker Olivier Giroud, enter the encounter unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with the Sounders, with their last loss to Seattle coming in a 2-0 defeat in 2021. On Sunday, surprise package Atlanta, with their 40-year-old goalkeeper Brad Guzan having impressed so many with his heroics against Miami, will return to Florida to take on Orlando City, who finished fourth in the East. Atlanta won at Orlando on the last day of the regular campaign, a victory that allowed them to sneak into the wildcard round but which also completed a home and away double for the Georgia side. "Obviously, in Major League Soccer, anything can happen," said Orlando coach Oscar Pareja. "Our responsibility is to play one game at a time. This one, we're going to be ready for sure," he added. The weekend rounds off with Los Angeles Galaxy hosting Minnesota United who, under former Manchester United assistant coach Eric Ramsay, came through a best-of-three series against higher-ranked Real Salt Lake. The Galaxy start as favourites but, as this season has shown in abundance, that counts for little. "We know they are a top team at this level with top individual players who are very difficult to beat at home but...I feel that if we are a good version of what we have been over the last 10-12 games... I certainly won't be painting it as a one sided game," said Ramsay. sev/js

France 2-1 Nigeria: Montpellier’s Onumonu enters the record books as unlucky Super Falcons stumble in Angers

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is asking President-elect Donald Trump to clarify the ethics standards that will apply to Elon Musk, given the tech billionaire’s prominent role on the Trump transition team. Musk has been a fixture at the president-elect’s side since the November election and will lead the new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, alongside fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Warren says that the new role, combined with Musk’s private interests as the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and other government-contracted companies, presents “a massive conflict of interest.” SpaceX, Musk’s space technology company, manufactures rockets and spacecraft, often for the federal government’s use. Tesla, meanwhile, inked a deal with the Biden administration to make at least 7,500 of its electric vehicle charging stations accessible to EVs from other carmakers by the end of 2024. Warren further pointed out that Musk’s companies have an interest in the government’s enforcement of labor laws and regulations, particularly after having been the subject of federal investigations and litigation. Warren also voiced concern over media reports that Musk met secretly with Iran’s U.N. ambassador and participated in a call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “Federal law contains ethics rules for government employees that are specifically designed to protect the public from dangerous conflicts of interest and ensure government employees are working on behalf of the public interest rather than twisting government policy to line their own pockets,” the senator wrote. “As a member of the transition team, Mr. Musk is not a federal employee, but the conflicts he faces are enormous, and the need for him to be subject to similar ethics standards is obvious.” The Trump team’s ethics pledge requires members to disqualify themselves from transition matters in which they may have a direct financial conflict. Referencing that pledge in her letter, Warren asked if Musk had signed and complied with that standard. She asked the president-elect to respond by Dec. 23. In a statement provided to The Epoch Times, Trump–Vance transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt waved off the senator’s concerns. “President Trump has assembled the most impressive and qualified team of innovators, entrepreneurs, and geniuses to advise and staff our government,” Leavitt said. She added: The Trump–Vance transition will continue to be held to the highest ethical and legal standards possible.”The PGA Tour announced its schedule of seven post-season tournaments for the fall of 2025 on Tuesday with no Las Vegas event on the calendar for the first time since 1983. The lineup is one fewer than this year and tees off with the Procore Championship in Napa, California, on September 11-14, two weeks after the 2025 Tour Championship. Absent from the schedule is the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas. After the Ryder Cup next September at Bethpage Black, the PGA Tour events resume with the Sanderson Farms Championship on October 2-5. The PGA Tour's Japan stop, the Baycurrent Classic, will be October 9-12 at Yokohama Country Club followed by the Black Desert Championship on October 23-26 in Utah. The World Wide Technology Championship at Los Cabos, Mexico, will be November 6-9 followed the next week by the Bermuda Championship and the RSM Classic on November 20-23 at Sea Island, Georgia. "With events in four US states, Japan, Mexico and Bermuda, the conclusion to the 2025 golf calendar promises to be exciting for our fans worldwide," said Tyler Dennis, PGA Tour chief competitions officer. Under tighter qualifying rules for the 2026 PGA Tour approved by the Player Advisory Council last month, only the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings will secure exempt status with the 50 who reach next year's BMW Championship being exempt into signature events for 2026. Those ranked 51st and beyond will take FedEx Cup points into the fall to try and accumulate eligibility points for the 2026 campaign. Three PGA Tour Challenge season events will be played next December -- the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas hosted by Tiger Woods, the LPGA-PGA mixed-team Grant Thornton Invitational and the PNC Championship parent-child event. Tour commissioner Jay Monahan also announced Tuesday that the PGA is searching for a new chief executive officer whose job would be to grow the business side of the operation in light of the $1.5 billion investment in PGA Tour Enterprises by Strategic Sports Group, a set of team sports owners. js/bbPresident-elect Donald Trump called his meeting with Justin Trudeau productive and says the prime minister made a commitment to work with the United States to end the drug crisis amid the threat of stiff tariffs. Trudeau flew to Florida Friday evening to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump's transition team is based. The in-person meeting came at the end of a rocky week in which Trump threatened to impose stiff tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico, unless the two countries stop illegal border crossings and prevent illicit drugs from entering the U.S. In a post on Truth Social, Trump says he and Trudeau discussed the drug crisis, particularly fentanyl, illegal immigration, as well as trade, energy and the Arctic. Trump's post did not directly mention tariffs. Trudeau told reporters in West Palm Beach Saturday morning that he had an excellent conversation with Trump’s transition team.
