Thanks for the feedback.Nico Iamaleava passed for four touchdowns and Dylan Sampson rushed for 77 yards and set a school-record for TDs as No. 11 Tennessee rolled to a 56-0 victory over UTEP on Saturday afternoon in Knoxville, Tenn. Sampson scored on a 14-yard TD run early in the second quarter for the game's first points to deliver his 22nd TD of tje season to break the Tennessee single-season mark set by Gene McEvers in 1929. Iamaleava was 15 of 20 for 173 yards for Tennessee (9-2), while Bru McCoy caught a pair of TD passes and Squirrel White and Ethan Davis each had a TD reception. Tennessee moved its all-time record to 2-0 against the Miners, also having blanked the Conference USA school 24-0 in 2018. Jermod McCoy and John Slaughter had interceptions for the Volunteers, while Dominic Bailey recovered a fumble to set up a score. Skyler Locklear was 10-of-19 passing for 50 yards with an interception for UTEP (2-9), while rushing for 37 yards on eight carries. JP Pickles also had a turn at QB for the Miners and was 10 of 15 for 72 yards. Kenny Odom had eight receptions for 70 yards. Both defenses set the tone in the first quarter. The UTEP defense allowed just one first down to the Southeastern Conference team in three ugly series in the opening quarter and only 22 yards. In the second quarter, Sampson ended a 68-yard drive by dashing up the middle for 14 yards for the record-setting score to take a 7-0 lead with 13:22 remaining before halftime. After Bailey's fumble recovery, Iamaleava flipped a screen pass that White took 9 yards to the end zone nearly six minutes later. Davis put the Volunteers up 21-0 when he grabbed a short pass for a 1-yard TD. Iamaleava then found Bru McCoy from 18 yards with eight seconds left in the second quarter for a 28-0 halftime lead. McCoy caught his second TD and Peyton Lewis rushed for a pair for a 49-0 lead in the third quarter, but the biggest roar from Volunteers fans came when it was announced Florida beat No. 9 Ole Miss 24-17, to enhance the Volunteers' College Football Playoff hopes. Cameron Seldon's 3-yard run capped the scoring as the Volunteers finished the season undefeated at home for the second time in four years. --Field Level Media

Kashmiri Pandits reiterate demand for implementation of 'Margdarshan resolution'

BISMARCK — The former head of the Governor's Office of Economic Development in South Dakota has been picked for a cabinet post in North Dakota. North Dakota Gov.-elect Kelly Armstrong has named most of his Cabinet members, including a Democrat. Also included in that list is Chris Schilken, who will head the Department of Commerce. ADVERTISEMENT Schilken served as South Dakota’s economic development commissioner from June 2023 through February. He stepped down from the position after facing sharp criticism from lawmakers over the Freedom Works Here workforce development program and spending $2.5 million from the Future Fund to support a professional rodeo in Sioux Falls. Because Schilken was appointed by Gov. Kristi Noem when the Legislature wasn't in session. He had been serving without confirmation by the state Senate. That vote was looming when he decided to withdraw his name amid the ongoing controversy and criticism and took a different job within the agency. Armstrong announced 12 Cabinet members on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Most of the appointments from the announcement are ones he inherited from Gov. Doug Burgum. Armstrong, a Republican who is the U.S. representative for North Dakota, won the general election with 68% of the vote, according to the Secretary of State’s website. He will take office on Dec. 15. There will be new faces in Armstrong’s Cabinet, including a Democrat from Grand Forks. North Dakota Rep. Corey Mock will take over for Greg Hoffman as the state’s chief information officer at the Information Technology Department, according to a release from Armstrong. Mock is a Realtor and leadership consultant who has represented Grand Forks in the North Dakota House of Representatives since 2009. Burgum appointed Hoffman to head the IT department in July after Kuldip Mohanty resigned from the position. ADVERTISEMENT Schilken is replacing Josh Teigen, who has been the North Dakota commerce commissioner since September 2022. Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller chose Teigen as her running mate during her gubernatorial campaign against Armstrong. Miller and Teigen lost to Armstrong and his running mate, North Dakota Rep. Michelle Strinden, in the Republican primary election. Joe Morissette will replace Susan Sisk as the director of the Office of Management and Budget. He previously served in the position under Burgum from 2018 to 2022. Sisk took over for Morisette in 2023 after he retired from the post. Burgum Cabinet members who will keep their positions in the Armstrong administration are: There are eight positions left to fill in Armstrong’s Cabinet. That includes a replacement for state Highway Patrol superintendent. Col. Brandon Solberg announced in June that he planned to retire from the position at the end of November. He will become the Office of Management and Budget’s facility management director. ADVERTISEMENT The Forum reported Wednesday that Dr. Nizar Wehbi, the state’s health officer, and Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Wayne Salter would not continue in their positions under Armstrong. Other posts to be filled include Indian Affairs Commission executive director, which is held by Brad Hawk; Labor and Human Rights commissioner, held by Nathan Svihovec; Securities director, held by Karen Tyler; Water Resources director, held by Andrea Travnicek; and chief people officer, held by Molly Herrington. Armstrong is considering those positions and will announce shortly who will fill those posts, Deputy Chief of Staff Jacy Schafer told The Forum. Outgoing Gov. Burgum, a Republican, decided not to seek a third term in office and was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as secretary of the Interior.

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook a large area of Northern California on Thursday, knocking items off grocery store shelves, sending children scrambling under desks and prompting a brief tsunami warning for 5.3 million people along the U.S. West Coast. The quake struck at 10:44 a.m. west of Ferndale, a small city in coastal Humboldt County, about 130 miles (209 km) from the Oregon border, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was felt as far south as San Francisco, some 270 miles (435 km) away, where residents felt a rolling motion for several seconds. It was followed by multiple smaller aftershocks. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injury. The tsunami warning was in effect for roughly an hour. It was issued shortly after the temblor struck and covered nearly 500 miles (805 km) of coastline, from the edge of California’s Monterey Bay north into Oregon. “It was a strong quake, our building shook, we’re fine but I have a mess to clean up right now,” said Julie Kreitzer, owner of Golden Gait Mercantile, a store packed with food, wares and souvenirs that is a main attraction in Ferndale. “We lost a lot of stuff. It’s probably worse than two years ago. I have to go, I have to try and salvage something for the holidays because it’s going to be a tough year,” Kreitzer said before hanging up. The region — known for its redwood forests, scenic mountains and the three-county Emerald Triangle’s legendary marijuana crop — was struck by a 6.4 magnitude quake in 2022 that left thousands of people without power and water. The northwest corner of California is the most seismically active part of the state since it’s where three tectonic plates meet, seismologist Lucy Jones said on the social media platform BlueSky. Shortly after the quake, phones in Northern California buzzed with the tsunami warning from the National Weather Service that said: “A series of powerful waves and strong currents may impact coasts near you. You are in danger. Get away from coastal waters. Move to high ground or inland now. Keep away from the coast until local officials say it is safe to return.” Numerous cities urged people to evacuate to higher ground as a precaution, including Eureka. In Santa Cruz, authorities cleared the main beach, taping off entrances with police tape. Aerial footage showed cars bumper-to-bumper heading to higher ground Thursday morning on California highways 1 and 92 in the Half Moon Bay area south of San Francisco. “I thought my axles had fallen apart,” said Valerie Starkey, a Del Norte County supervisor representing Crescent City, a town of fewer than 6,000 near the Oregon border. “That’s what I was feeling ... ‘My axles are broken now.’ I did not realize it was an earthquake.” Cindy Vosburg, the executive director for the Crescent City-Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce, said she heard alarms sound just before shaking began and the city’s cultural center downtown started to creak. “The earthquake seemed to go on for quite a few seconds. It was a rolling earthquake,” Vosburg said. “Just as it would start to subside, the building would roll again.” Vosburg, a former resident of the San Francisco Bay Area and the Central Valley, said it was the strongest earthquake she felt since the 1989 Loma Prieta quake struck Northern California. Gov. Gavin Newsom said he has signed off on a state of emergency declaration to quickly move state resources to impacted areas along the coast. State officials were concerned about damages in the northern part of the state, Newsom said. White House Spokesperson Jeremy Edwards said President Joe Biden was briefed on the earthquake and that FEMA officials are in touch with their state and local counterparts in California and Oregon. Crews in Eureka, the biggest city in the region, were assessing if there was any major damage from the quake, Eureka Mayor Kim Bergel said. Bergel, who works as a resource aid at a middle school, said lights were swaying and everyone got under desks. “The kids were so great and terrified. It seemed to go back and forth for quite a long time,” she said. Some children asked, “Can I call my mom?” The students were later sent home. In nearby Arcata, students and faculty were urged to shelter in place at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt. The campus in was not in the tsunami hazard zone and after inspections, “all utilities and building systems are normal and operational,” the university said in a statement. Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said residents experienced some cracks in their homes’ foundations, as well as broken glass and windows, but nothing severe. There also have been no major infrastructure problems, building collapses or roadway issues, and no major injuries or deaths have been reported, he said. Honsal said he was in his office in the 75-year-old courthouse in downtown Eureka when he felt the quake. “We’re used to it. It is known as ‘earthquake country’ up here,” he said. “It wasn’t a sharp jolt. It was a slow roller, but significant.” Michael Luna, owner of a Grocery Outlet in Eureka, said that besides a few items falling off shelves, the store on Commercial Street was unscathed by the earthquake. “We didn’t have any issues but a couple of deodorants fall off.... I think the way the earthquake rumbled this time, it was a good thing for our store because the last earthquake was a huge mess,” he said. They evacuated customers and closed their doors temporarily until officials lifted the tsunami warning, he said, rushing off the phone to attend to a growing line of customers at check-out. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, known as BART, stopped traffic in all directions through the underwater tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland, and the San Francisco Zoo’s visitors were evacuated. Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator for the Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska, said the computer models indicated that this was the type of earthquake that was unlikely to cause a tsunami and gauges that monitor waves then confirmed it, so forecasters canceled the warning. This quake was a strike-slip type of temblor that shifts more horizontally and is less prone to cause tsunamis, unlike the more vertical types, said National Weather Service tsunami program manager Corina Allen in Washington state. The California Geological Survey says the state’s shores have been struck by more than 150 tsunamis since 1800, and while most were minor, some have been destructive and deadly. On March 28, 1964, a tsunami triggered by a powerful earthquake in Alaska smashed into Crescent City hours later. Much of the business district was leveled and a dozen people were killed. More recently, a tsunami from a 2011 earthquake in Japan caused about $100 million in damages along the California coast, much of it in Crescent City.

Rarely does a college basketball game provide such stark contrast between the sport's haves and have-nots as when Jackson State faces No. 9 Kentucky on Friday in Lexington, Ky. While Kentucky claims eight NCAA Tournament crowns and the most wins in college basketball history, Jackson State has never won an NCAA Tournament game and enters the matchup looking for its first win of the season. Impressive tradition and current record aside, Kentucky (4-0) returned no scholarship players from last season's team that was knocked off by Oakland in the NCAA Tournament. New coach Mark Pope and his essentially all-new Wildcats are off to a promising start. Through four games, Kentucky is averaging 94.3 points per game, and with 11.5 3-pointers made per game, the team is on pace to set a school record from long distance. The Wildcats boast six double-figure scorers with transfer guards Otega Oweh (from Oklahoma, 15.0 ppg) and Koby Brea (from Dayton, 14.5 ppg) leading the team. The Wildcats defeated Duke 77-72 on Nov. 12 but showed few signs of an emotional letdown in Tuesday's 97-68 win over a Lipscomb team picked to win the Atlantic Sun Conference in the preseason. Kentucky drained a dozen 3-pointers while outrebounding their visitors 43-28. Guard Jaxson Robinson, held to a single point by Duke, dropped 20 points to lead the Kentucky attack. Afterward, Pope praised his team's focus, saying, "The last game was over and it was kind of on to, ‘How do we get better?' That's the only thing we talk about." Lipscomb coach Lennie Acuff also delivered a ringing endorsement, calling Kentucky "the best offensive Power Four team we've played in my six years at Lipscomb." Jackson State (0-5) and third-year coach Mo Williams are looking for something positive to build upon. Not only are the Tigers winless, but they have lost each game by nine or more points. Sophomore guard Jayme Mitchell Jr. (13.8 ppg) is the leading scorer, but the team shoots just 35.8 percent while allowing opponents to shoot 52.3 percent. The Tigers played on Wednesday at Western Kentucky, where they lost 79-62. Reserve Tamarion Hoover had a breakout game with 18 points to lead Jackson State, but the host Hilltoppers canned 14 3-point shots and outrebounded the Tigers 42-35 to grab the win. Earlier, Williams, who played against Kentucky while a student at Alabama, admitted the difficulties of a challenging nonconference schedule for his team. "Our goal is not to win 13 nonconference games," Williams said. "We're already at a disadvantage in that regard. We use these games to get us ready for conference play and for March Madness." Jackson State has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2007. The Tigers had a perfect regular-season record (11-0) in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in 2020-21 but lost in the league tournament. Kentucky has never played Jackson State before, but the game is being billed as part of a Unity Series of matchups in which Kentucky hosts members of the SWAC to raise awareness of Historical Black Colleges and Universities and provide funds for those schools. Past Unity Series opponents have been Southern in December 2021 and Florida A&M in December 2022. --Field Level Media

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS’), Gen. Christopher Musa, has emphasise the need to consider Socio-Economic and environmental factors in the national security equation. This is as the national coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Maj-Gen. Adamu Laka, argued that the media have the power to shape opinions, and influence perspectives/narratives. The very senior officers spoke on Thursday in Abuja, at a Round Table on Nigeria’s Unity and National Interest, organised by the NCTC for defence correspondents. In his remarks, the defence chief noted: “Although these views are essential, it is important that our understanding of national security is expanded to incorporate broader social, economic, and environmental elements which are hallmarks of what is termed development journalism. “It is also necessary to note that actions of the military in ensuring Nigeria’s national security account for only 30% or less of the overall efforts required, while the remaining 70% of maintaining Nigeria’s peace and security rest on the socio-economic elements of the country. “In a nutshell, national security entails the protection of our nation’s core values, institutions, as well as citizens from both external and internal threats, while national interests involve important goals and objectives guiding our nation’s actions and decisions. “These critical concerns over our nation, particularly in the face of numerous security challenges, tend to undermine the very fabric of our country and threatens the safety and security of our citizens. “Military efforts to safeguard our nation’s sovereignty will be enhanced through development journalism, which is a specialized form of journalism that focuses on the social, economic, and political development of the nation. “In the area of defence bits, development journalism seeks to promote public awareness and understanding of defence as well as security issues, while holding governments, the defence sector, and other stakeholders accountable for their actions as well as informing decision-making by policymakers and defence officials. In his welcome address, the NCTC’s coordinator said: “We are gathered here today, though from various professional backgrounds, but as athletic Nigerians, jointly committed to understanding the role of the media in relation to national security and interests. “As we are rightly aware, the role of the media, especially journalists, as signed defence and security beats is pivotal in shaping public perception and policy on critical issues of national security and interests. “Through reporting, analysis and storytelling, journalists inform members of the public and have the power to influence strategies, people’s actions and reactions. Having been in this military career for a while, I must attest to the fact that our defence and security correspondents have been an immense wealth of expertise and experience. “Most of you have reported on the frontlines, analysed trends and followed the intricate network that sustained these threats to our national security and interests. “You have confronted not just the facts, but also the responsibility to report with accuracy, fairness and sensitivity in an environment that is often fraught with misinformation and heightened emotions. It is in appreciation of your role in the counter-terrorism efforts that I granted my prompt approval to your request for this important conversation. “I therefore assure you that the National Counter-Terrorism Centre, Office of the National Security Advisor, will continue to collaborate with you and other critical stakeholders to achieve and sustain the destruction of terrorist propaganda. “The objective of this roundtable discussion with you is to foster an open and insightful exchange of ideas. “By sharing your experiences, observations and challenges, together we aim to enhance collective understanding of the dynamics of terrorism and its evolving tactics, discover the ethical considerations of reporting on such sensitive issues, identify opportunities for collaboration between journalists, security experts and policy makers, and have best thoughts on the development of a national strategic communication plan and protocol for the gathering and distribution of news on terrorism and violent extremism with the hope of stemming threats to our national security and interests”.

UCL: Liverpool beat Real Madrid 2-0 to top Champions League table

LONDON — Apple and Google aren’t giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new UK digital rules taking effect next year. The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker’s tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don’t need to be downloaded from an app store and aren’t subject to app store commissions, the report said. “This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices,” the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on “mobile ecosystems.” The CMA’s report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers “the clearest or easiest option.” And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two US Big Tech companies “significantly reduces their financial incentives” to compete in mobile browsers on Apple’s iOS operating system for iPhones. Both companies said they will “engage constructively” with the CMA. Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security. Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system “has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps” and that it’s “committed to open platforms that empower consumers.” It’s the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the dominance of Big Tech companies. US federal prosecutors this week unveiled their proposals to force Google to sell off its Chrome browser as they target its monopoly in online search. The CMA’s final report is due by March. The watchdog indicated it would recommend using the UK’s new digital competition rulebook set to take effect next year, which includes new powers to rein in tech companies, to prioritize further investigation into Apple’s and Google’s “activities in mobile ecosystems.”Avalanche Acquire Center Juuso Parssinen From NashvilleDiego Simeone Reflects On 700th Game In Charge As Atletico Madrid Edge Deportivo Alaves 2-1

EUGENE — The results of the past three meetings with Washington are not far from the minds of the Oregon Ducks. Even with nearly half the roster not being a part of the two losses to the Huskies last season, and even fewer remaining from the 2022 loss at Autzen Stadium, there are ample reminders entering Saturday’s (4:30 p.m., NBC) regular season finale. “In the weight room we got all the old games are popping up there so when you’re getting a lift in you can see them beating the crap out of us the past three (games),” linebacker Bryce Boettcher said. “Making guys understand that for those new guys, transfers, freshmen, that this game when they’re coming in they’re going to bring their best game. Obviously it’s going to mean a lot to them. If we come out sleepwalking, can’t do that in this type of game.” Boettcher has been a part of the three losses to the Huskies, all decided by three points. The Eugene native acknowledge reality: of course this game means “a little extra” than others. “For those that say there’s not, don’t worry about the opponent, I mean I think that’s a little bit of BS,” Boettcher said. “I hate the Huskies. I’ve never liked them. So I’ll be playing my butt off when game time the ball is kicked off.” No. 1 Oregon (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) vs. Washington (6-5, 4-4) When: Saturday, Nov. 30 Time: 4:30 p.m. PT Where: Autzen Stadium, Eugene TV channel: NBC Stream: You can watch this matchup live for FREE with Fubo (free trial).

Oregon Ducks football 2024 season schedule, scores Sign up for The Ducks Beat newsletter Washington’s massive amount of roster churn during the offseason, with 41 letterwinners gone and just two starters back from last year’s team, is not impacting how No. 1 Oregon is viewing this year’s matchup. Kalen DeBoer, Michael Penix Jr., Dillon Johnson, Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, Jalen McMillan, Bralen Trice and many others may not be on the Huskies sideline, but it’s still purple and gold all the same. RELATED: Oregon’s Jabbar Muhammad appreciates ‘fierce rivalry’ with Huskies, ‘no hate’ from former teammate Tight end Terrance Ferguson said the Ducks have a “strong hatred” for the Huskies regardless. “You always feel that sour taste in the back of your mouth,” linebacker Jeff Bassa said. “Even though that we know it’s not the same team as last year, it’s still the same program.” Dan Lanning has been diplomatic about the rivalry, but need not be reminded of his 0-3 mark in the series or some of the questionable strategic decisions he made along the way. “I think college football rivalries are extremely special,” Lanning said. “I think that’s one of the things that make this fun: the excitement that surrounds the fans, the alumni, the people who have been a part of games like this for a long time. It means a lot to us, certainly. But ultimately, it is another game. It’s the next game. And you don’t get out there playing with emotion. It’s about execution over emotion. “These games are going to have emotion; that’s the way these games are played. But that’s not what’s going to lead to success on the field.” RELATED: Oregon’s Dan Lanning doesn’t flinch amid opportunity for 1st win over Washington Bassa is among the few Ducks remaining from the 2021 team that plastered the Huskies on a rainy night in Seattle. UO’s seniors want to end their careers with another win in the rivalry and some redemption before continuing their pursuit of a Big Ten championship and national championship. “You don’t want to circle games ever on the schedule, but we owe these guys,” Ferguson said. “They played us well. There’s a rivalry and the people around Oregon care about this game and it’s for good reason. When you have a rivalry it definitely means something to the whole team. As soon as you come to Oregon to be a Duck that’s a game that you look forward to. ... We’re going to come out of on Saturday and play that way, like we owe them something and with a chip on our shoulder.” -- James Crepea covers the Oregon Ducks and Big Ten.
