Why these Israeli men volunteered to fight - but now refuse to return to GazaBRATTLEBORO — Select Board races are already garnering a lot of interest. "I can't recall ever seeing six new potential candidates for Select Board this early before the deadline, and that’s before any incumbents have indicated whether they are running or not," said Tim Wessel, former board member and potential candidate. "I think it's healthy for local democracy, since there's a potential to see three-fifths of the board replaced with new faces." As of about 2:30 p.m. Monday, Oscar Heller, Cristina Shay-Onye, Jill Stahl Tyler and Wessel had petitions out for a three-year seat opening up in March. Amanda Ellis-Thurber, Isaac Evans-Frantz, Shay-Onye and Wessel had petitions out for two one-year seats. None had submitted signed petitions yet. Town Clerk Hilary Francis said the two residents with petitions for both seats only intend to run for one of them. "They are simply undecided at this point about which term they will seek," she said. Asked if it's unusual to see so much activity this early on, Francis said she doesn't know if she would say the timing is unusual. "Petitions are available starting in December and must be returned by Jan. 27," she said. "Candidates have historically taken petitions out throughout that time, some earlier and some later." Select Board Chairman Daniel Quipp, whose three-year seat is expiring, said he won't be running for reelection. "I’ve been proud to serve and I feel like it is time to step away from this role and focus on my employment," he said. "I hope that we have an excellent field of candidates to choose from." Board member Franz Reichsman said the race is "definitely heating up early." "It's great," he said. "I keep telling them, 'Run.' I think I'm doing the town a service by telling them to run." Reichsman, who holds a one-year seat, hasn't decided if he'll be running again. "We'll see how this budget plays out," he said. "I think what we're looking at going into the future, what the process reveals, there's a lot of question marks at this point. And I'm old. I'll be 75 soon." Reichsman recalled very little competition in some years. "Sure, it's the number of candidates but also to what extent are there going to be real electioneering efforts, real campaigns, to turn out the voters?" he said, expecting the recently overturned Acceptable Community Conduct Ordinance and downtown safety to be central issues in the races. "Will there be different numbers of people who appeal to different groups and sort of end up splitting the vote especially for the one-year seats? So lots of interesting questions." Shay-Onye, who didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, submitted the petition prompting a special Representative Town Meeting this month to undo the ordinance. Evans-Frantz also expressed opposition to the ordinance. Affordability was a big part of Ellis-Thurber's unsuccessful campaign to unseat State Rep. Emilie Kornheiser, D-Windham-7, in the August primary. Tyler supported the campaign and is the director of Community House. "After listening to neighbors during my campaigning for the primary," Ellis-Thurber said, "I learned that people feel comfortable discussing issues on their mind and see me as a leader who can listen to all perspectives and find middle ground. I would like to serve on our town Select Board to give back to our community." Ellis-Thurber said she would "most especially work together to increase our community’s quality of life and lower their cost of living while supporting community revitalization projects and initiatives towards building a healthy town." Board member Richard Davis plans to run again. He said he hasn't decided whether to seek another year or three years. On Dec. 14, Evans-Frantz stood with supporters in front of the Post Office on Main Street to announce his campaign. "During the coming difficult years,” Evans-Frantz said at the event, according to a news release, “Brattleboro needs a new leader who will stand up for all of us." With a potential 22 percent increase in the municipal budget, Evans-Frantz said, "most of our incomes are not increasing by anywhere near this amount." "In a year where calls to the police for serious crime increased by 16 percent, the Select Board passed an ordinance that would fine building owners when some residents report crimes," he said. "The current Select Board, left unchecked, risks making life harder — and less safe — for people in Brattleboro." Evans-Frantz, who was born and raised in Brattleboro, is director of the national Action Corps organization. He unsuccessfully ran against U.S. Sen. Peter Welch in the 2022 primary election and served as a youth member of the Vermont State Board of Education. “My vision for Brattleboro includes a safe and vibrant downtown where residents and visitors alike feel welcome and comfortable,” Evans-Frantz said. “By working together across our differences to address people’s needs – including those of both business owners and the 3 percent of the town experiencing homelessness – we can build a better future for our town.” A key reason Heller ran last year was his worry about the budget and the town's budgeting process. "This year, faced with a choice between a 22 percent property tax increase and cuts to key services, I feel even more strongly about it," he said. "The current board is going through a tough time trying to create a sustainable budget, and, if I’m elected, I believe I’d be a valuable part of that process. There are lots of other things I’m excited about, new ideas to try, creative ways to grow and thrive and lift up the whole community, but I think step one has to be getting our feet back under us." Heller currently chairs the Representative Town Meeting Finance Committee. He said he's been involved in local politics since 2017. With every passing year, Heller said, he feels "more passionate about being involved in and contributing to our town. I want to be on the Select Board to work on the big questions, but also because I love the idea of being in a position to help my neighbors with their everyday problems." Tyler said she's concerned about Brattleboro, and her parents always said, "Don't complain. Be part of the solution." "I believe in Brattleboro’s future and the many positive things we have here. I want to help us all move forward," Tyler said. Her administrative background gives her "insights and people skills that can help navigate Brattleboro’s current challenges," she said. She noted her "experience and knowledge of how an elected board functions and the ability to build consensus." "I’ve been deeply involved in community activities, volunteering and serving on boards, including as chair of the town school board for five years," she said. "I am currently the executive director of a nonprofit [Community House], and have run my own small business in international dairy education for about 30 years." Wessel said he's running because he's "tired of a small but vocal minority telling those of us that live and work downtown that the problems we see with our own eyes aren’t real, and preventing the board from taking action to help us." "I also think the board needs my voice for fiscal discipline — the recent rise in municipal taxes is unacceptable," he said. "Voters know me and the sensible leadership I provided for six years on the board, and I trust they will see the value in returning me to the Select Board."
INDIANAPOLIS – Death. Taxes. And Quenton Nelson. Star running back Jonathan Taylor suggested Thursday the Indianapolis Colts’ All-Pro left guard is one of life’s inevitabilities. A legion of NFL defenders likely would nod in resigned agreement. “Any time backs come in, I always tell them, ‘Listen, when in doubt, you know 5-6 (Nelson’s jersey number) will take you to the light,’” Taylor said. “But what he does is (a result of) preparation throughout the week, what he does in the offseason, his routine in season. He's a true professional, and it shows week in, week out and year after year. So I'm just thankful, and I'm glad that I'm on a team with him.” Nelson played a pivotal role in Sunday’s 38-30 victory against the Tennessee Titans, helping to usher the way for Taylor to gain 218 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. The Colts gained a single-season franchise record 335 total yards on the ground, and Nelson shook off a fourth-quarter ankle injury to return even while many on the sideline suggested he should rest with the game apparently in hand. Nelson again put together a highlight reel of dominant blocks, none more impressive than his effort on quarterback Anthony Richardson’s 5-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. After pulling from his position, Nelson quickly got to the second level in front of Richardson and drove his defender through the back of the end zone. The quarterback essentially jogged into the end zone behind Nelson, untouched and unbothered. "It makes it easier for me,” Richardson said. “I get to see 56 running around. I just get to follow up behind him and let him do his dirty work, and I just follow up and get the touchdown. I get all the credit, but, no, he does all the dirty work for us. So we appreciate that for sure." Nelson emphatically threw his arms up in celebration as Richardson crossed the goal line. That’s also in character for the hulking lineman. He’s almost always the first player to pick up a ball carrier after a run – no matter the distance from the line of scrimmage – and Richardson said Nelson often is happier than the player who scored each time Indianapolis finds the end zone. It’s a mentality Nelson said was installed by former Notre Dame offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, and his joy is the product of a total team effort. “There’s 11 guys doing their job for the common goal of scoring a touchdown and trying to win the game,” Nelson said. “Seeing it come to fruition after all the hard work we put in during the week is awesome.” Guard is far from a glamour position, and it’s not among the most highly valued roles in the NFL. Very few players at the position become stars. But Nelson is on another level. When he was drafted with the sixth overall pick in 2018 after a sterling career for the Fighting Irish, Colts owner Jim Irsay immediately made Hall of Fame comparisons. Nelson has lived up to the high expectations with three first-team All-Pro nods and six Pro Bowl appearances in his first six seasons. He’s one of the most recognizable names on Indianapolis’ roster and a fan favorite. But, despite outside appearances, Nelson’s success was not inevitable. His unmatched drive and work ethic have allowed him to reach the game’s elite levels. “I think his competitive nature that he brings every single day, his toughness, his attitude, his love for the game, and he plays that way,” Colts head coach Shane Steichen said of what sets Nelson apart. “I mean, he shows up for his guys every single day and does it the right way and plays for the guy next to him every single time. “He's got that relentless determination that you want up front. Just a hell of a leader for us. And obviously, when we need a big play, too, a lot of the times he's our lead blocker in those situations.” INJURY REPORT Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (toe), Richardson (back, foot) and linebacker E.J. Speed (knee) did not practice Thursday. Indianapolis reportedly is optimistic Richardson will be able to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies (shoulder) and Nelson (ankle) were limited. Cornerback JuJu Brents (knee), cornerback Jaylon Jones (throat), wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) were full participants. Safety Raheem Lane (knee), linebacker Micah McFadden (neck), wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe), center John Michael Schmitz (ankle), cornerback Greg Stroman (shoulder, shin), running back Tyrone Tracy (ankle) and wide receiver Dee Williams (toe) did not practice for the Giants. Defensive tackle Cory Durden (shoulder), offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (wrist), quarterback Drew Lock (right shoulder) and offensive guard Greg Van Roten (knee) were limited.

By Max A. Cherney and Milana Vinn (Reuters) -Intel has started evaluating a handful of outsiders, including former board member Lip-Bu Tan, for the role of chief executive after the struggling American chipmaking icon ousted company veteran Pat Gelsinger, according to people familiar with the matter. Tan, a well-respected semiconductor industry veteran who has long been seen as a contender for CEO at Intel, has been approached by Intel’s board in recent days to gauge his interest in taking up the job, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the discussions are confidential. Intel’s board is mostly evaluating outsider candidates for the role and has also approached Marvell Technology CEO Matt Murphy, two of the sources said. The deliberations on the CEO succession are at an early stage, the sources said, cautioning that Intel has not yet zeroed in on any candidate to replace Gelsinger who stepped down from his role on Monday after being given the choice to retire or be removed. The move to replace Gelsinger – who took charge of Intel less than four years ago – came after the board decided that the pace of his costly plan to turn around Intel’s fortunes was not quick enough. The board has formed a search committee for Gelsinger’s successor and is expected to make a final decision on his replacement in the coming months, the sources said. The company on Monday named Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner and senior executive Michelle Johnston Holthaus as interim co-CEOs. Intel declined to comment. Representatives for Tan’s venture capital firm, Walden Catalyst, did not respond to a request for comment. Marvell and Murphy did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Bloomberg previously reported that Intel was considering Murphy for CEO. HIGH-PROFILE CEO HUNT The hunt for Intel’s next leader is one of the most closely-watched CEO successions in corporate America and comes at a pivotal time for the ailing chipmaker, which is enduring one of the bleakest periods in its five-decade history. Gelsinger in 2021 inherited a company rife with challenges that he compounded. Setting lofty ambitions for manufacturing and AI capabilities among major clients, Intel ultimately lost or canceled contracts under Gelsinger’s watch, and was unable to deliver the promised goods, Reuters reported in October. Intel’s revenue shriveled to $54 billion in 2023, down nearly one-third from the year Gelsinger took over. Analysts expect Intel to lose $3.68 billion this year, its first annual net loss since 1986. Its shares were down nearly 6% on Tuesday, off more than 60% from a peak hit in Gelsinger’s first months as CEO. The crash in Intel’s share price has sparked takeover interest from suitors such as Qualcomm, Reuters has previously reported. Murphy has served as CEO of Marvell since 2016. He previously worked at Maxim Integrated Products Inc, where he spent nearly 22 years in various roles. Tan, the former CEO of chip-software company Cadence Design, joined Intel’s board two years ago as part of a plan to restore Intel’s place as the leading global chipmaker. The board expanded Tan’s responsibilities in October 2023, authorizing him to oversee manufacturing operations. But Tan departed in August after clashing with Gelsinger on several aspects of Intel’s turnaround plan, including the size of the company’s workforce, its contract manufacturing strategy, and its work culture, Reuters has reported.

LONDON (AP) — An artist whose work exploring her Scottish Sikh identity includes a vintage Ford car draped in a crocheted doily won the U.K.’s prestigious Turner Prize on Tuesday, during a ceremony picketed by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Jasleen Kaur was awarded the 25,000-pound ($32,000) prize by actor James Norton at the Tate Britain gallery in London. Kaur used her acceptance speech to express support for scores of demonstrators outside. She is among signatories to a letter demanding Tate, which runs several major British art museums, cut ties with donors who are linked to Israel over its war in Gaza. “This is not a radical demand,” Kaur said. “This should not risk an artist’s career or safety. “We need a proper ceasefire now,” she said. The Israel-Hamas war has killed more than 43,000 Palestinians, according to Hamas health officials in Gaza. Israel launched the war in response to the militant group's Oct. 7, 2023 cross-border attack that killed some 1,200 Israelis and took more than 250 hostage. A jury led by Tate Britain director Alex Farquhar praised the way 38-year-old Kaur “weaves together the personal, political and spiritual” through “unexpected and playful combinations of material.” Her winning exhibition mixes sculpture, print, everyday items — including family photos, a Ford Escort car and the popular Scottish soda Irn Bru — and immersive music to reflect on her upbringing in Glasgow’s Sikh community. Three other finalists – Pio Abad, Claudette Johnson and Delaine Le Bas – received 10,000 pounds ($12,670) each. Named for 19th-century landscape painter J.M.W. Turner and founded in 1984 to reward young artists, the prize helped make stars of shark-pickling artist Damien Hirst, potter Grayson Perry, sculptor Anish Kapoor and filmmaker Steve McQueen . But it has also been criticized for rewarding impenetrable conceptual work and often sparks debate about the value of modern art, with winners such as Hirst’s "Mother and Child Divided,” which consists of two cows, bisected and preserved in formaldehyde, and Martin Creed’s “Lights On and Off” -- a room with a light blinking on and off – drawing scorn from sections of the media. In 2019, all four finalists were declared winners after they refused to compete against one another, “to make a collective statement in the name of commonality, multiplicity and solidarity.” In 2021, all five finalists were collectives rather than individual artists. The award was initially open to artists under 50 but now has no upper age limit. Works by the four finalists are on display until Feb. 16. Jill Lawless, The Associated PressFIR registered against Sikh journalist in PakFor The Founder CEO podcast, I had the chance to sit down with Colin Treseler, co-founder and CEO of SuperNormal —a groundbreaking AI-powered tool designed to make meetings more productive and less stressful. Colin's story is one of grit, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to solving problems that matter to him — not wasting time! With a background shaped by fierce competition in sports, Colin's journey offers an inspiring blueprint for those daring to take the entrepreneurial leap. Founder Background Colin's story begins at the top of Heartbreak Hill in Boston, where he grew up as the youngest of four in a spirited, athletic family. His father, an Olympic running coach, often hosted world-class Kenyan athletes at their home, giving Colin an early education in excellence, discipline, and the beauty of different cultures. Dinners at his house were competitive—not just over sports but also over ideas and knowledge, setting the stage for his lifelong love of learning. Related: How This Professional Poker Player Became an AI Pioneer After attending Dartmouth and competing as a rower, a back injury forced him to pivot into sailing, where he discovered the power of communication and teamwork. Colin's professional journey started unconventionally—landing a job through Craigslist at a tiny startup in Boston. That first taste of entrepreneurship lit a fire, leading to roles at high-growth companies like Klarna and Facebook, where he sharpened his expertise in technology and product design. But Colin's restless curiosity always pointed him toward bigger challenges. In 2019, after years of watching inefficiencies plague organizations, he and co-founder Fabian Perez set out to build a tool that would reimagine how teams communicate, collaborate, and save time. Business Growth and Success SuperNormal launched with one bold promise: you should never have to take meeting notes again. It started as a simple idea but quickly resonated with a growing audience, especially as remote work became the norm. Today, SuperNormal serves more than 365,000 organizations in 150 countries, providing a seamless way to capture, summarize, and organize meetings automatically. Under Colin's leadership, SuperNormal has gone beyond note-taking to introduce "Norma," an AI assistant that joins meetings, answers questions, and even brainstorms ideas in real-time. Imagine a colleague who remembers every detail of past meetings, raises a hand to offer insights, and ensures you never miss a follow-up task. That's Norma. "We wanted to give people their time back," Colin explained, "so they can focus on meaningful work, not mundane tasks." Unique Value or Product Offering What makes SuperNormal special is its deeply human approach to AI. Unlike generic tools, Norma learns from an organization's specific context, adapting to individual needs and offering tailored solutions. It's more than just a meeting bot—it's a trusted teammate that lightens the load. Whether it's summarizing a quarterly review or helping a team brainstorm product names, Norma empowers users to be more productive while freeing up time for creativity and connection. Related: How Charles Lelon Is Redefining Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition But for Colin, the real magic lies in the why : "We're not just building tools; we're building solutions to help people spend less time stuck in front of screens and more time living." Future Plans Looking ahead, Colin and his team envision a future where AI doesn't just assist but actively works alongside us. The next evolution of SuperNormal will focus on task execution, enabling Norma to handle follow-ups, draft emails, schedule meetings, and even generate creative content—all automatically. "We've spent years optimizing for time spent in apps," Colin said, referencing his earlier work at Facebook. "Now, it's about time saved. That's the real value technology should deliver." SuperNormal's goal? To save billions of hours worldwide, one meeting at a time. Advice to Entrepreneurs Colin's journey from competitive Boston dinners to leading an innovative AI startup is a testament to the power of persistence and adaptability. But it's also deeply human. As a father, a runner, and a lifelong learner, Colin has built his company around a simple but profound idea: time is our most valuable resource, and we should use it wisely. When asked what advice he'd give to aspiring entrepreneurs: "Take care of yourself. It's easy to sacrifice sleep, health, and relationships when you're building something. But you'll do your best work when you're balanced and present."
