Liberty Media Acquisition (OTCMKTS:LMACU) Stock Price Up 0.3% – What’s Next?

When Christina Corpus won voters’ support to become San Mateo County’s first Latina sheriff, she vowed to end the “pass-downs and political favors” she said dictated control of the department and to “move our law enforcement agency to the 21st century.” Her former boss, Carlos Bolanos, whom she unseated in 2022, was accused of and at the behest of a wealthy friend. Years earlier, as undersheriff, he was . During the campaign, Corpus, then a captain, alleged Bolanos passed her over for a promotion and targeted her and others for a lack of loyalty, which Bolanos denied. “That’s the worst kind of leadership when you are feared by your people,” she . “I’m not going to be that kind of leader.” Yet two years later, Corpus now finds herself facing many strikingly similar accusations. Earlier this month, the county released that found Corpus had an inappropriate relationship with her former chief of staff, retaliated against officers and employees, and used racist and homophobic slurs in the workplace, among other serious allegations against her and department leadership, including and engaging in questionable real estate deals. “Lies, secrecy, intimidation, retaliation, conflicts of interest, and abuses of authority are the hallmarks of the Corpus administration,” wrote the report’s author, retired Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge LaDoris Cordell. The bombshell report has triggered from across ranks within the department and from local, state and congressional lawmakers. Last week, the County Board of Supervisors agreed to . Still, Corpus has remained defiant, vehemently denying the accusations and refusing to step down. She’s described the report and efforts to oust her as part of a politically motivated “coup” orchestrated by a “good ‘ole boys network” threatened by her effort to overhaul a department she says is in desperate need of reform. Corpus, 53, began working for the Sheriff’s Office more than two decades ago as a correctional officer before working her way up to captain overseeing the Millbrae Police Department, a division of the Sheriff’s Office. She spent much of her career focused on neighborhood outreach, including as head of a community policing unit. Michael Kelly, an ardent Corpus ally and founder of the Millbrae Anti-Racist Coalition, described her as dedicated to furthering equity in the county, recalling how as a captain in Millbrae, she would help organize Dia De Los Muertos events and made a point of dispatching Spanish-speaking deputies to communities of color. Kelly said Corpus told him she decided to pursue law enforcement after, as a young girl, she and her family were victims of a carjacking. “The way the officers responded and treated her and her family made her feel safe,” he said. “She said, ‘I want to be that type of person.’” Corpus emerged as a candidate for sheriff in the wake of racial justice protests in 2020, just as local Democratic Party officials and some within the department sought a challenger to Bolanos, according to people who helped with her campaign. “She was the only one who stepped up and said, ‘I’m going to run against the existing sheriff,’” said Jim Lawrence, board chair of Fixin’ San Mateo County, a group founded in 2021 to advocate for Sheriff’s Office oversight that backed Corpus’ campaign. Lawrence, a former Foster City mayor, said that once Corpus took office, however, she sought to delay plans for a civilian oversight committee for her office. During her campaign, Corpus also promised to rebuild relationships with the immigrant community, limit the use of lethal force and undertake a full audit of “questionable” department contracts. The Sheriff’s Office did not respond to questions for Corpus. Following the recent allegations against her, Fixin’ San Mateo County has called for Corpus to step down. “The Christina Corpus that I know and worked with during the campaign is now not the same person,” Lawrence said. “All things point to an appointment she made when she brought Victor Aenlle in as chief of staff.” Aenlle, whom Corpus describes as a longtime friend and who served a key role in her campaign, is at the center of the scandal enveloping the Sheriff’s Office. The investigator’s report found “overwhelming factual evidence” that Aenlle and Corpus have had an inappropriate relationship, including alleged trips to Hawaii, a gift of $11,000 diamond earrings and an employee claiming to have seen the pair “playing footsie” at Aenlle’s ranch house on the coast. Corpus had been married to a sworn employee in the department, but he filed for divorce last year, according to court records. Related Articles More concerningly, the report alleges the relationship led Corpus to “relinquish control” of the agency to Aenlle, whom Cordell, the investigator, described as having “far more experience” as a real estate broker than he has in law enforcement. Cordell found that Aenlle, despite being a civilian, exercises “wide-ranging and sometimes abusive authority” over sworn personnel, and is quick to berate or demean those with whom he disagrees. Cordell added that Aenlle and Corpus harbor an obsession with “loyalty that borders on paranoia,” highlighting an alleged request that Aenlle’s office be swept for bugged devices. The report goes on to describe a demoralized department, with at least 106 sworn staff — from deputies to Corpus’s second in command — having departed since she took office. Lawrence and others who helped Corpus get elected said Aenlle was a demanding but effective operator during the campaign. They said his apparent take-over of the department came as a shock, especially since they viewed Corpus as a confident decision-maker who seemed poised to remake the agency for the better. Aenlle denied the allegations when Cordell interviewed him during the investigation. Attempts to reach him were unsuccessful. Earlier this month, the Board of Supervisors voted to eliminate Aenlle’s position and lock him out of county buildings. But ahead of the move, Corpus said she promoted him to assistant sheriff. On Thursday, supervisors called on the public to reject Corpus’ claims she’s a victim of a conspiracy to oust her from office. “We need a sheriff we can trust,” said Supervisor Noelia Corzo, a former Corpus ally. “As a community, we must stand united against lies and corruption.”SEC Championship Game News Leaves Georgia Fans DisappointedRADCOM (NASDAQ:RDCM) Stock Rating Upgraded by StockNews.com

Microinsurance: A critical safety net

By LINDSEY BAHR Christopher Nolan is following his Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer” with a true epic: Homer’s “The Odyssey.” It will open in theaters on July 17, 2026, Universal Pictures said Monday. Related Articles Entertainment | Prosecutors withdraw appeal of dismissed case against Alec Baldwin in fatal movie set shooting Entertainment | ‘Squid Game’ returns looking for win with season 2 Entertainment | Taylor Swift surprises fan who dubbed her hospital-visit outfit ‘tea’ with special gift Entertainment | Blake Lively sues 'It Ends with Us' director Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment Entertainment | 10 options from Santa’s big bag of Christmas TV programming Details remain scarce, but the studio teased that it will be a “mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX technology.” It will also be the first time that an adaptation of Homer’s saga will play on IMAX film screens. Nolan has been an IMAX enthusiast for years, going back to “The Dark Knight,” and has made his last three films exclusively using large format film and the highest resolution film cameras. For “Oppenheimer,” the first black-and-white IMAX film stock was developed. Nolan hasn’t said specifically what the new technology for “The Odyssey” will be, but earlier this month he told The Associated Press that they’re in an intensive testing phase with IMAX to prepare for the new production. “They have an incredible engineering staff, really brilliant minds doing extraordinary work,” Nolan said. “It’s wonderful to see innovation in the celluloid film arena still happening and happening at the highest level possible.” “The Odyssey” will be Nolan’s second collaboration with Universal Pictures following “Oppenheimer,” which earned nearly $1 billion at the box office and won the filmmaker his first Oscars, including for best director and best picture . Rumors about his next project have been swirling ever since, with near-daily speculations about plot — none of which turned out to be true — and casting. While there are many reports about actors joining the ensemble, none has been officially confirmed by the studio.

Love in the age of Instagram can be unpredictable, but this story from Punjab's Moga takes unpredictability to a whole new level! Deepak Kumar, a young man from Jalandhar, learned this the hard way when his wedding day turned into an unimaginable waiting game.

Jimmy Carter had the longest post-presidency of anyone to hold the office, and one of the most active. Here is a look back at his life. 1924 — Jimmy Carter was born on Oct. 1 to Earl and Lillian Carter in the small town of Plains, Georgia. 1928 — Earl Carter bought a 350-acre farm 3 miles from Plains in the tiny community of Archery. The Carter family lived in a house on the farm without running water or electricity. 1941 — He graduated from Plains High School and enrolled at Georgia Southwestern College in Americus. 1942 — He transferred to Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. 1943 — Carter’s boyhood dream of being in the Navy becomes a reality as he is appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. 1946 — He received his naval commission and on July 7 married Rosalynn Smith of Plains.

Hezbollah fires over 180 rockets, other projectiles into Israel, wounding at least 7'Unacceptable is one word': B.B. Comer football uses 3-7 season as motivation

Iowa offense ready to excel against New HampshireAs Dr. Hai Nguyen entered the operating room last week, he couldn't shake the feeling of performing in front of an audience. Watching him from the the other side of the glass were specialists, staff and representatives from the supplier of a cutting-edge robot recently acquired by Charles-Le Moyne Hospital in Longueuil, Que. For the first time, the advanced robotic technology was assisting him in a knee procedure that requires extreme precision. "In terms of bone cuts, it gets us to half a millimetre of precision, so it helps make the surgery more precise," Nguyen said. "It allows us to balance the knee in a personalised way." For seven decades, surgeons have relied on handheld tools, like a mechanic balancing the front wheels of a car, he explained. It came down to the surgeon's eye and thumb, he said. "It was time for something more technologically advanced," he said. The hospital's foundation, Fondation Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, contributed $1.2 million to the purchase, and in a Friday news release, it said the first surgery was a success. The hospital is the first French-language hospital in the province to acquire the technology, as robots are increasingly being used in surgeries across the world. "This robot offers exceptional precision by allowing a customised positioning of the prosthesis, adapted to the morphology and unique needs of each patient," the foundation said. "The result: a better restoration of natural movements, often difficult to obtain with conventional techniques." Dr. Hai Nguyen, left, with his patient, Mario Brunelle. (Ivanoh Demers/Radio-Canada) The orthopedic robot reduces the need for revision surgeries, accelerates recovery, shortens hospital stays, lowers the need for physiotherapy, decreases pain medication use and improves access to knee surgeries, the hospital said. The foundation's CEO, Nathalie Boudreau, said investing in this type of medical technology is essential. Nearly 40,000 patients like Mario Brunelle are on the waiting list for orthopedic surgery in Quebec. When offered surgery with a robot assistant, Brunelle didn't hesitate. "If the surgery is good, so much the better," he said. "It will be useful for everyone after that." On Dec. 18, Charles-Le Moyne Hospital on Montreal's South Shore put a $1.2-million robot to use assisting with two knee surgeries. (Ivanoh Demers/Radio-Canada) He said he waited eight years before deciding to undergo this operation, which his previous doctor considered too complex. "It can't be worse than what I have here. It has to be better," Brunelle said before the surgery. The device is supplied by Velys, a U.S.-based robotics company. The first two patients were operated on Wednesday at the South Shore hospital. Lakeshore General Hospital in Pointe-Claire, Que., also has the technology. Elsewhere in Canada, the robot has been in use since early 2023.

Putin signs law letting Ukraine fighters write off bad debtsA 30-year-old Pennsylvania man appeared in court Thursday after being accused of committing a robbery in Lincoln in August. The robbery allegedly occurred in the area of 48th and Adams streets Aug. 25 at about 7:40 p.m. after the victim arranged a meeting with Daniel Doboyou, whom he met on Facebook, to sell a car. According to the arrest warrant affidavit, the victim had $30,000 with him at the time he met Doboyou. Police believe the victim was carrying a large amount of money to deposit in a bank later in the day regarding a business he was a part of. Doboyou arrived at the meeting spot with an unknown man, according to the affidavit. People are also reading... He tackled the victim and took the money before running into a black Chevrolet Malibu that was being driven by the unknown man, then fleeing, police say. The victim began chasing the Malibu in his vehicle until it became disabled near 90th and Adams streets. Both men got out of the car and ran on foot. Police arrived at the scene and could not locate Doboyou or the other man. Investigators obtained a court order for the cell phone number the victim used to communicate with Doboyou, and they confirmed the cell phone was in the area when the victim was robbed. LPD managed to track the cell phone back to Pennsylvania, according to the affidavit. An arrest warrant was issued for Doboyou in September. LPD spokesperson Erika Thomas said U.S. Marshals arrested Doboyou in Cleveland, Ohio, last month, then he was brought back to Lincoln for arraignment. The other man has not been identified in court documents. Judge Thomas Zimmerman set his percentage bond at $200,000, meaning he would need $20,000 to be released.

Our culture reporters have done the hard work for you. Here are their picks of the best shows, films, podcasts and books from 2024. If it’s good enough for them, it’s definitely good enough for you. Share your favourites in the comments below. Luca Guadagnino’s horny tennis/threesome drama has fallen out of the conversation as a main contender this , but it’s still, hands down, one of my favourite films of the year. And the – a pulsating original score of techno bangers composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross – has been on my main rotation while exercising or frantically writing to deadlines since the film’s release in April. If you missed it completely (which means you’ve sadly also missed ), the film follows a 13-year love triangle between an injured tennis star turned coach (Zendaya), her husband now limping towards the end of his successful career (Mike Faist), and his one-time best friend still chasing his shot at glory (Josh O’Connor). It’s a feverish film with frenetic cuts and pounding synth melded through moments of emotional intensity. And while that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I think it’s exactly what we need more of in cinema: original stories about somewhat regular adult relationships that take big creative swings. If nothing else, it’ll change the way you watch the Australian Open. Who would have thought a straight-to-streaming movie would top my list this year? Certainly not me, but that was before I saw Richard Linklater’s ridiculously rewatchable . Inspired by a 2001 by Skip Hollandsworth, the film sees a mild-mannered professor (Glen Powell) pick up a gig impersonating assassins for the police. However, his entire moral code is turned on its head after he falls for a woman (Adria Arjona) who hires him to kill her abusive husband. It’s a crime that this film missed out on a proper theatrical release – not only because it stars Powell (surely 2024’s Hollywood sweetheart after and ) but because of its expert weaving of comedy into a compelling examination of identity and morality. The leading pair ooze chemistry on-screen, Powell somehow makes three-quarter denim pants look hot, and the ending is entirely unpredictable. It’s refreshing to watch something this fun again. So Linklater, thanks for the hit, man. For the first couple of episodes of Steve Zaillian’s take on the chameleonic serial killer Tom Ripley, I wondered why I was watching, and why it existed. After all, Anthony Minghella’s 1999 film did such beautiful justice to Patricia Highsmith’s creation (Ripley appears not just in the 1955 novel of that name, but in another four) it was hard to see what more could be said. But by the third episode, I was completely won over by the slow accretion of detail, by the stunning black-and-white cinematography, by the lugubrious pacing, and above all by . In his hands, Ripley is not the young aspirational social climber Matt Damon gave us. Rather, he’s a mid-career petty conman almost at the end of his tether who happens to get incredibly lucky. But he’s such a bumbler that he very nearly blows it, repeatedly. The character, like the show itself, is a tightrope walk, never more than one dreadful misstep from collapse. By its end I wasn’t just grateful to Zaillian for going there, I couldn’t wait to see where he, and Ripley, might take us next. If you want a laugh or just to keep up to speed with internet culture, then the Binchtopia podcast is for you. It will have you speaking like a TikTok-addicted Gen Z after a few episodes, without having to actually TikToks. Hosted by Julia Hava and Eliza McLamb, the self-titled “girlies” will take you on a journey as they explore concepts such as doomsday prep, lead you down ridiculous Reddit threads, and take on more serious and complex issues such as eating disorders. Highly researched and organically funny, the podcast is ideal listening for lying on the beach or taking a road trip. It strikes a balance between informative and light-hearted, served with a confronting (at first) but endearing vocal fry. Beware though: It’s addictive listening. I read this more than a month ago, and I am still thinking about it; it’s the best thing I’ve read in 2024. Powers, whose 2018 novel was shortlisted for The Booker and also won the Pulitzer for fiction, has essentially written a book that, once you reach the end, has you rethinking the entire story. Longlisted for this year’s Booker, is tricky to describe without spoiling. It follows the intertwined stories of Todd, a billionaire tech giant, his college best friend Rafi, Rafi’s Polynesian girlfriend Ina and a famous oceanographer, Evie, across several decades. But it’s also a story about the climate crisis, AI, colonialism, the wonders of the ocean and human mortality. And in Powers’s hands, each of these themes are deftly rendered. I’m already thinking about a re-read. The best books you read in a year are often not from that year. So I’m happy to stretch the brief and cite Cormac McCarthy’s masterful final novels, and , which were published six weeks apart in late 2022. They tell the stories of Bobby Western and his sister Alicia respectively - complex, wounded geniuses struggling to survive in marginalised America, haunted by their father’s work developing the atomic bomb and their feelings for each other. McCarthy’s writing so staggering, so erudite, so rich with ideas and so evocative that these two interconnected novels would be the high water marks of most writers’ careers. But he has also been acclaimed for , , and . I’ve struggled to read McCarthy for years, finding his books too unsettling and emotionally bruising. But that’s changed. I’ve just started his first novel, and plan to work my way through the rest. Where the hell have you been, you might well ask when I nominate reading this Australian novel as my fave culture moment of the year; after all, it was published in 1980. But while the story of orphaned Australians Caroline and Grace Bell making new lives in England starts in the 1950s and ends some time in the 1970s, it feels absolutely timeless. Hazzard has a clear eye for personality and character, unflinching but not cruel. She captures, especially in the early pages, the sometimes uneasy relationship between Australians and the world they desperately long to be part of. And she has a deft way with plot: one character’s ultimate demise is signalled soon after we first meet him, though it lies decades in the future; another’s comes right at the end, a shock, a twist, a punch to the guts. But it’s her way with language that most impresses, especially the way she crafts sentences that are unfinished yet fully complete. Full of empathy for the desires that guide us and the wrong choices we make, and the fleeting moments of perfection that are so easy to miss, is achingly sad and blindingly beautiful.Putin signs law letting Ukraine fighters write off bad debtsThe American Athletic Conference is the only Football Bowl Subdivision league whose championship game matchup is set: Army vs. Tulane. The final week of the regular season will determine pairings for the other eight conferences. Here's a look at the possible matchups in the Power Four and Group of Five. All championship games are Dec. 7 except in the AAC, Conference USA and Mountain West, which will be played Dec. 6. SMU vs. Miami or Clemson. Miami is in if it beats Syracuse. Clemson is in if Miami loses. Oregon vs. Ohio State, Penn State or Indiana. Ohio State is in if it beats Michigan or if Penn State and Indiana lose this week. Penn State is in if it beats Maryland and Ohio State loses. Indiana is in if it beats Purdue and Ohio State and Penn State lose. Arizona State vs. Iowa State if both win this week. Multiple scenarios including BYU, Colorado and other teams exist otherwise. Georgia vs. winner of Texas-Texas A&M game. Army vs. Tulane. Jacksonville State vs. Liberty, Western Kentucky or Sam Houston. Liberty is in with a win over Sam Houston. WKU is in with a win over Jacksonville State and a Liberty loss. Sam Houston is in with a win over Liberty and a Jacksonville State win. Miami, Bowling Green and Ohio are tied for first place and control their destinies. Miami-Bowling Green winner is in, as is Ohio if it beats Ball State. Other scenarios exist that include those teams and Buffalo. Boise State vs. UNLV or Colorado State. If UNLV and CSU both win or lose their final regular-season games, the tie would be broken by either College Football Playoff rankings or results-based computer metrics. Louisiana-Lafayette at Marshall if both win their games this week. Other scenarios exist if one or both lose. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

The end of November in the world of college football always is fraught with chaos, and Week 13 did not disappoint. The morning featured the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers getting blown out by the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, while the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels were upset by an unranked Florida Gators team. Meanwhile, the No. 14 BYU Cougars are getting handled by the No. 21 Arizona State Sun Devils, the No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes are losing to an unranked Kansas Jayhawks team at the half, and the No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions are losing to an unranked Minnesota team at halftime. For the No. 1 Oregon Ducks, it's a great time to have a bye week. © Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Oregon's beloved mascot, 'The Duck,' made that abundantly clear on social media with a perfect two-word message to all of his fans going along with a picture that screams "relaxation." off day pic.twitter.com/5kNcyw1EfS What beach The Duck is at is unclear, but it doesn't matter in the end. All that matters is that everyone's feathered friend is getting some R&R while his team capitalizes on the chance to get healthy and prepare for a stretch run through the Big Ten Championship Game and College Football Playoff over the next couple of months. The Ducks get back to action next week for a rivalry game against the Washington Huskies in Eugene. After that, they will go on the road to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game, which will more than likely be a rematch against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Until then, don't bother the Duck. He's enjoying a well-deserved day off. Related: Oregon Coach Dan Lanning Trending After Kenny Dillingham's Brilliant Coaching Move at Arizona State
