NoneRico Carty, who won the 1970 NL batting title when he hit a major league-best .366 for the Atlanta Braves, has died. He was 85. , the players’ association and the Braves paid tribute to Carty on social media on Sunday. A family friend told Listín Diario — a newspaper in Carty’s native Dominican Republic — that he died Saturday night in an Atlanta hospital. “Carty was one of the first groundbreaking Latino stars in the major leagues, and he established himself as a hero to millions in his native Dominican Republic, his hometown of San Pedro de Macoris, and the city of Atlanta, where he was a beloved fan favorite,” the players’ association said . The Braves said Carty left on the organization. “While his on-field accomplishments will never be forgotten, his unforgettable smile and generous nature will be sorely missed,” the team said in its statement. Carty made his big league debut with the Braves in September 1963. He batted .330 with 22 homers and 88 RBIs in his first full season in 1964, finishing second to Dick Allen in voting for NL Rookie of the Year. The Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta after the 1965 season, and Carty got the franchise’s first hit in its new home on April 12, 1966, against Pittsburgh. Carty had his best year in 1970, batting .366 with 25 homers and a career-best 101 RBIs. He started the All-Star Game after he was elected as a write-in candidate, joining Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in the NL outfield. Carty batted .299 with 204 homers and 890 RBIs over 15 years in the majors, also playing for Cleveland, Toronto, Oakland, Texas and the Chicago Cubs. He retired after the 1979 season.

Trane Technologies PLC stock falls Monday, underperforms marketIpswich Town captain Sam Morsy's decision not to wear the rainbow armband in support of the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign has drawn scrutiny. Morsy wore a standard-issue armband instead of the rainbow design during his side's 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest on Saturday for "religious beliefs", according to his club Ipswich. He did the same for Ipswich's game against Crystal Palace on Tuesday night. So what are the factors behind the decision - and what has the reaction been? The Premier League collaborates with LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall on the Rainbow Laces campaign every season. The initiative involves top-flight players being encouraged to wear rainbow-coloured laces and captain's armbands to demonstrate support for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, inspire acceptance among children and young people, and promote equality and diversity. Rainbow Laces was first launched in 2013, typically lasts for a week and has been supported by all clubs and the vast majority of Premier League captains since. Morsy has chosen not to comment on his decision so far. It is not compulsory for captains to wear the armbands, which are provided by the Premier League, along with other matchday assets. But Ipswich Town said in a statement on Monday that the 33-year-old Egypt international, who is a Muslim, made the choice based on his religious beliefs. "We proudly support the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign and stand with the LGBTQ+ community in promoting equality and acceptance," the club said. "At the same time, we respect the decision of our captain Sam Morsy, who has chosen not to wear the rainbow captain's armband due to his religious beliefs." Morsy's decision, which made him the only captain to not wear the armband in last weekend's round of fixtures, has garnered support from some and criticism from others. Ipswich Town LGBTQ+ supporters' group Rainbow Tractors told BBC Radio Suffolk: "While Rainbow Tractors were aware in advance of the decision, we are disappointed that Sam Morsy chose not to wear the rainbow armband in support of the Rainbow Laces campaign. We do, however, continue to respect his religious beliefs as we have done in previous seasons." The fact that Morsy's religious beliefs have been cited as the reason behind his decision has led to confusion and accusations of hypocrisy from some, given the Wolverhampton-born midfielder has previously worn shirts promoting gambling sponsors. Gambling is forbidden according to Islamic law. Uefa executive committee member Laura McAllister, a former captain of Wales who was told to remove a rainbow-coloured hat at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar , said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I think there has to be an element of individual choice, but I'm really disappointed because a captain represents the team, and the club, and everybody who is a fan of that club, and everybody who works at that club, and that will include a lot of LGBT people as well." Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi wore the armband in his team's draw with Newcastle last weekend, but wrote 'I [heart] Jesus' across it. The Football Association (FA) chose not to take action against Guehi, but is to remind both the club and player that religious messaging on their kit is banned. In Tuesday's game with Ipswich, Guehi changed his written message to 'Jesus [heart] you'. Morsy is not the first footballer to choose not to participate in a campaign designed to show support to LGBTQ+ people. Sheffield United defender Anel Ahmedhodzic, also a Muslim, did not wear the armband when he was made Blades captain during their Premier League defeat by Liverpool last season. Like Morsy, he also declined to provide an explanation for his decision, simply replying "guess" when asked to clarify in an interview with Swedish broadcaster SVT Sport. Previously, clubs in France's top two divisions wore rainbow-themed shirts for one matchday per season in order to demonstrate support for International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. The names and numbers on the back of shirts were rainbow-coloured, meaning every player in the division was automatically involved in the initiative. But a minority of players did not want to participate in the campaign and refused to wear the shirts. That led to some players making themselves unavailable to play and being left out of matchday squads by their clubs. Current Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye was left out of Paris St-Germain's squad for two consecutive seasons because of his apparent refusal to wear the amended kit, while five players on the books of Toulouse and Nantes missed their respective clubs' matches in 2023. The Ligue de Football Professionnel, which runs Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, announced earlier this year that it was ending the campaign following the controversy. The president of a French LGBTQ+ charity told newspaper L'Equipe: "We are shocked by the way in which the symbol of the LGBT+ fight against homophobia will be made invisible." The Premier League has committed to a variety of initiatives designed to show support for different causes in recent years. Following the murder of US citizen George Floyd by a police officer in 2020, Premier League footballers began taking the knee before kick-off to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement , external , following in the footsteps of NFL player Colin Kaepernick. Over time the campaign has been changed and become less specific. Players now take the knee before only four fixtures per season, and the Premier League says the gesture is designed to "demonstrate their ongoing commitment to fight racism and all forms of discrimination". Clubs in the Premier League and English Football League have worn poppies, which are commonly worn in the UK to commemorate the service of members of the British Armed Forces, on the front of their shirts in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday for around 15 years. But some, including Republic of Ireland winger James McClean and Serbia midfielder Nemanja Matic , have chosen not to do so because of British involvement in military conflicts in their home regions. There is variation among clerics on the relationship between Islam and homosexuality. Some interpretations of Islam are more conservative, while some are more liberal. In many modern Muslim countries there are restrictions on homosexual relationships. In Egypt, homosexuality is not criminalised, but was described as "highly stigmatised" by a 2023 BBC News investigation. Different interpretations of religious texts in other major religions such as Christianity and Judaism means followers can have varying views about homosexuality. A person's religion does not inherently define their view of LGBTQ+, and not all followers of any one religion believe exactly the same things. Many religious people also identify as LGBTQ+. Diego Garcia Rodriguez, research fellow at the University of Nottingham and author of Gender, Sexuality and Islam in Contemporary Indonesia: Queer Muslims and their Allies, told the BBC that clubs and players can help forge an increased understanding between football and religion. "What we have traditionally witnessed is the dominance of conservative interpretations of the Qu'ran," he said. "But if you look at the work of progressive Islamic scholars too, there is an emphasis on justice, on compassion. There are many Islamic verses that ask Muslims to stand for justice. These values have also been used to challenge discrimination. "Football has that ability to bring people together and unite them across differences. Football clubs and players have the opportunity to lead by example and to emphasise that inclusivity can strengthen the game." Earlier this year BBC News reported on the UK's first Muslim Pride event. One of the Muslim Pride attendees, Farhan, told the BBC it is important to challenge the notion that Islam is "inherently queer-phobic". "This is an assumption that's not necessarily based on fact, because if you read the parts of the Qu'ran that supposedly condemn homosexuality, it's not as clear-cut," Farhan said. A report released earlier this year by ILGA-Europe - an independent group of hundreds of LGBTQ+ organisations from across Europe and Central Asia - suggested that LGBTQ+ rights are regressing in the UK. It ranks the UK just 15th for support for LGBTQ+ rights among 49 European countries , external , having ranked first in 2015. Writing on social media platform X , external , diversity and inclusion consultant and former FA advisor Liz Ward explained why some players might struggle to understand the purpose of their involvement. "When people feel as though they are being 'told' to do something, as opposed to really understanding 'why' they're doing something, conflict will arise," Ward explained. "When you then bring into question values and beliefs, the conflict becomes severe, wide reaching and impossible to combat. This is true of any workplace, no less professional football. "Players aren't having regular conversations about race, gender, sexuality or any other protected characteristic. Clubs, with the best intentions, often tell players what campaign they will take part in. "[Players] are being told to wear laces, an armband or a warm-up top because they 'have to'. I've seen players be told that it's part of their contract, threatened with a breach if they don't take part. "We need better communication and player involvement in campaigns such as this." Players are able to access support from the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) - the footballers’ union for England and Wales - on matters concerning identity, faith and spirituality. Both the PFA and Premier League declined to comment when asked to do so by the BBC.Titans S Julius Wood suspended 6 games for PEDs

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Sunday announced that her party would refrain from contesting bypolls across the country, accusing the the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled Uttar Pradesh government of indulging in fake voting through electronic voting machines (EVMs). This announcement followed the results of bypolls in U.P. and assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, where the BSP failed to win any seats. Addressing a press conference, Mayawati claimed, “After the bypoll results were declared, there has been widespread discussion among the public that fake voting, which once happened with ballot papers, is now being carried out through EVMs with the misuse of government machinery.” She added that this “misuse” was a threat to democracy and said that the BSP would not participate in any bypoll until the Election Commission of India takes strict measures to curb fake voting. Mayawati pointed out that while the ruling party may not always win during general elections, the fear of power change prevents administration misuse during such elections. “The BSP will contest the Lok Sabha, assembly, and local body elections with full strength,” she added, reaffirming the party’s commitment to electoral participation in national and state elections. In a veiled attack on Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief Chandra Shekhar Azad, Mayawati accused the BJP and Congress of promoting “selfish elements” within the Dalit community to divide votes and weaken the BSP. She alleged that these elements were funded to form political parties and strategically field candidates to ensure BSP’s defeat. Notably, the Azad Samaj Party made inroads into BSP’s traditional stronghold in west U.P. during the bypolls, with BSP candidates finishing in fifth place in Meerapur (Muzaffarnagar) and Kundarki (Moradabad) assembly seats.
Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick for intel chief, faces questions on Capitol Hill amid Syria falloutDiversity statements will no longer be used in University of Michigan faculty hiring, promotion and tenure, a move applauded by critics who have called the practice "litmus tests" that limit diversity of thought while diversity advocates said the process was "preordained" and dishonest. Provost Laurie McCauley announced the decision Thursday based on a recommendation from a UM faculty working group to end diversity statements. But the recommendation is "deceptive," coming after the regents rejected a previous recommendation to keep the diversity statements, a faculty leader said. Diversity statements are documents written by faculty job candidates that let applicants explain to a search committee the distinct experiences they would bring to the university along with their commitment to diversity. The statements help search committees identify applicants "who have professional skills, experience and/or willingness to engage in activities that would enhance campus diversity and equity efforts," according to a University of California at San Diego statement referenced by UM's Center for Research on Learning & Teaching. McCauley's announcement came hours before the Board of Regents is scheduled to meet and a protest is planned beforehand at UM President Santa Ono's house. Many in the UM community are concerned the regents may dismantle a multimillion dollar diversity, equity and inclusion effort built after the school was at the center of a decade-long national debate around affirmative action in higher education, and DEI programs have been under attack across the nation.. "Diversity, equity and inclusion are three of our core values at the university," McCauley said in the University Record, an internal UM publication for faculty and staff, in announcing the end of diversity statements. "Our collective efforts in this area have produced important strides in opening opportunities for all people. As we pursue this challenging and complex work, we will continuously refine our approach.” But there is more that happened in this process, UM Faculty Senate Chair Rebekah Modrak wrote on the University Record page under the announcement. After the regents called for diversity statements to be banned last summer, McCauley formed a faculty committee to review diversity statements in the spirit of shared governance that came up with a different recommendation, Modrak wrote. "My understanding is that the committee’s first report recommended that the use of diversity statements should be up to each unit, a recommendation that honors our decentralization, independence, and academic freedom," Modrak wrote. "The Regents rejected that report and central leadership didn’t support their own faculty committee. Sending a committee back to work to give a second report with preordained results is neither honest nor respectful of faculty expertise. The University Record’s erasure of the Regents’ autocratic hand in this process is also deceptive." Regents will not vote on the provost's action, but may discuss it during the meeting, said Regent Sarah Hubbard, one of two Republicans on the eight-member UM board. "I applaud the provost for ending the practice of requiring diversity statements," said Hubbard. "This policy change removes a barrier to diversity of thought on campus by eliminating the ideological litmus test." No action is expected during Thursday's meeting around other DEI issues, added Hubbard, who previously said the regents have been looking for a long time at the university's DEI efforts and want to realign funds closer to student scholarships. Any budget decisions wouldn't happen until next year when budgetary decisions get made, she said. Even so, hundreds of students, faculty and staff demonstrated on campus earlier this week to show support for the university's DEI programs, and others are planning to attend the protest organized by UM's Black Student Union before the regents meeting and show up to the official meeting. UM's decision to discontinue diversity statements came after the statements were also eliminated in May at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in June at Harvard University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In June, UM's provost charged the eight-member faculty working group to examine diversity statements, though the university did not have an institutional policy on the statements but units did have the discretion to ask for them. The working group recommended the end of the statements after reviewing other policies and surveying more than 2,000 faculty members. “Critics of diversity statements perceive them as expressions of personal identity traits, support of specific ideology or opinions on socially-relevant issues, and serve as a ‘litmus test’ of whether a faculty member’s views are politically acceptable,” the working group wrote in its report. “Thus, as currently enacted, diversity statements have the potential to limit viewpoints and reduce diversity of thought among faculty members.” The working group said it acknowledged the concerns. "But, well-written diversity statements do not necessarily require expression of one’s identity, and they need not express one's beliefs or stances on socially-charged issues," the working group wrote. "Instead, well-written diversity statements contain reflections of how identity has shaped a faculty member’s approach with their students, how they work with their colleagues, and how they interact with society. These are desirable features of current and future U-M faculty members, and this information should be considered when potential faculty are hired and current faculty are promoted." The work group also offered two other recommendations, including that the university "can and must" incorporate of content about DEI into teaching, research and service statements. "Through this incorporation, the problematic features of diversity statements can be eliminated, while the useful and necessary information that exists in diversity statements can be saved and placed where it more naturally belongs," the group wrote in its report. However, UM did not adopt those recommendations. UM's decision to discontinue diversity statements followed other steps the university has taken in recent months that supporters said will create an environment that expands diverse views on campus. They include the regents' controversial adoption last month of a policy on institutional neutrality that prohibits some officials from taking public stances on political and social issues not related to the internal governance of the university. Last month the Faculty Senate passed a resolution censuring the Board of Regents and accusing the regents of "increasingly exhibiting authoritarian tendencies, and silencing free speech. ©2024 The Detroit News.

The S&P 500 edged up by 2 points, or less than 0.1%, to set an all-time high for the 55th time this year. It’s climbed in 10 of the last 11 days and is on track for one of its best years since the turn of the millennium. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 76 points, or 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.4% to its own record set a day earlier. AT&T rose 4.6% after it boosted its profit forecast for the year. It also announced a $10 billion plan to send cash to its investors by buying back its own stock, while saying it expects to authorize another $10 billion of repurchases in 2027. On the losing end of Wall Street was U.S. Steel, which fell 8%. President-elect reiterated on social media that he would not let Japan’s Nippon Steel take over the iconic Pennsylvania steelmaker. announced plans last December to buy the Pittsburgh-based steel producer for $14.1 billion in cash, raising concerns about what the transaction could mean for unionized workers, supply chains and U.S. national security.

In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady after a report showed U.S. at the end of October than a month earlier. Continued strength there would raise optimism that the economy could remain out of a recession that many investors had earlier worried was inevitable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.23% from 4.20% from late Monday. Yields have seesawed since Election Day amid worries that Trump’s preferences for and could spur along with economic growth. But traders are still confident the will at its next meeting in two weeks. They’re betting on a nearly three-in-four chance of that, according to data from CME Group. Lower rates can give the economy more juice, but they can also give inflation more fuel. The key report this week that could guide the Fed’s next move will arrive on Friday. It’s the , which will show how many workers U.S. employers hired and fired during November.

Some analysts think Japanese stocks could end up benefiting from Trump’s threats , including for goods . Trade relations between the U.S. and China took another step backward after China said it is banning exports to the U.S. of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications. The counterpunch came swiftly after the U.S. Commerce Department expanded the list of Chinese technology companies to include many that make equipment used to make computer chips, chipmaking tools and software. The newly included in the so-called “entity list” are nearly all based in China. In China, stock indexes rose 1% in Hong Kong and 0.4% in Shanghai amid unconfirmed reports that Chinese leaders would meet next week to discuss planning for the coming year.

Titans S Julius Wood suspended 6 games for PEDs【C.S】 Group Targets Global Pet Medication Market with Groundbreaking Taiwanofungus-Based New DrugThe Los Angeles Chargers have placed tight end Hayden Hurst on injured reserve . Hurst has struggled to stay healthy after struggling with a groin injury earlier in the season and will now be shelved with a hip for at least the Chargers game against the Denver Broncos on December 19th. Hurst Moved To IR Ahead Of Chargers MNF Game He was featured heavily in the first four weeks of the season before getting hurt early in their first contest against the Broncos. Through those four games, Hurst had seven catches on 10 targets for 59 yards. The team rebuilt their tight end room ahead of the season adding Hurst in addition to Will Dissly, Stone Smartt, and Tucker Fisk. Hurst missed the last eight games of 2023 due to a traumatic head injury. He also had surgery on his groin, in the spring of 2023. Tight ends have always been featured heavily in Jim Harbaugh’s offenses and that has followed suit with the Chargers. In Hurst’s absence, he has looked to Will Dissly as a pass-catching option. In his six seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, Dissly averaged 27 catches and 296 yards receiving. So far in 10 games with the Chargers, he has caught a career-high 37 passes and 352 yards. It is likely that Dissly now fills the role intended for Hurst who has been a pass-catching tight end in the past. To fill the roster spot, the team has signed cornerback Eli Apple. Additionally, they have activated defensive back Deane Leonard from injured reserve and elevated safety Tony Jefferson and outside linebacker Caleb Murphy from the practice squad. They also moved AJ Finley to the IR. This article first appeared on LAFB Network and was syndicated with permission.
