Before we get to Saturday’s games, let’s take a look at yesterday’s news from Ann Arbor…

Signature-stealing spies?

Another Michigan investigation

It was announced yesterday that the NCAA is investigating the Michigan program. Here’s a breakdown:

• Identity theft is not against the rules. Bruce Feldman wrote a behind-the-scenes look at the sleuthing act in 2018. Coaches Feldman estimates that 80-90 percent of college teams do that. What does identity theft look like: Identifying signals from opposing teams to identify what they will play before this happens.
• Rule in question NCAA Bylaw 11.6.1It says: “Off-campus, in-person search for future opponents (in the same season) is prohibited.” The NCAA says Michigan uses a “broad network.” to steal the identities of opposing teams, a source with knowledge of the allegations said.
• On Wednesday, Michigan State (which plays at Michigan on Saturday) and the Wolverines’ future opponents, including top-10 rivals Penn State and Ohio StateThe inquiry was notified.

In A Yahoo reportSources say it could be in Michigan “Used unnamed persons” To attend games and scout signs used by “projected opponents and potential College Football Playoff opponents.” ESPN reported overnight He says “A low-level officer with a military background” One of the keys to the project.

Don’t forget, Michigan is under investigation for persistent Level II rule violations. We’ll update you as this story develops.

Week 8 breakdown

Playoff tests, competitive clashes

Afternoon: No. 7 Penn State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) No. 3 at Ohio State (6-0, 3-0), Fox: Penn State hasn’t won in Columbus since 2011, and James Franklin is 1-8 against the Buckeyes. The stakes are high, but our writers answer this lingering question: Is Penn State-Ohio State a real rivalry?

Afternoon: Washington State (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) at No. 9 at Oregon (5-1, 2-1), 3:30 p.m., Fox: Both teams have a chip on their shoulder. The Cougs have lost two straight while Oregon is coming off a heartbreaker against Washington. (Minnesota at No. 24 Iowa is another candidate here. Why? The troubled Big Ten West could actually help decide the East.)

Prime Time: No. 16 Duke (5-1, 2-0, ACC) No. 4 at Florida State (6-0, 4-0), 7:30 p.m., ABC: Keon Coleman of Florida State Last week I couldn’t stop watching. Meanwhile, Duke is waiting for QB Riley Leonard to return from an ankle injury. It has high ACC title game stakes.

Competition competitions

Afternoon: No. 22 Air Force (6-0) at Navy (3-3), CBS: The Falcons have won three in a row in the series. Both teams are in the top five in rushing yards, and Air Force looks to be one of the better teams in the Group of 5. Another note: The home team has won nine of the last 10 games in this series.

Afternoon: No. 17 Tennessee (5-1, 2-1 SEC) No. 11 Alabama (6-1, 4-0), 3:30 p.m., CBS: Last year’s thriller was Tennessee’s 15-game losing streak to Bama. But both teams have new identities this season. Will the Tide regain control of the series?

Prime Time: No. 2 Michigan (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) at Michigan State (2-4, 0-3), 7:30 p.m., NBC: The pressure is on. Outside of the recent Michigan news, this will be the Wolverines’ first trip to East Lansing since losing a heartbreaker in 2021. Of course, last year’s subway incident left many wondering: Is this competition also toxic?

Stars of the FCS: The Dakotas

Four Dakota programs (South Dakota, South Dakota State, North Dakota and North Dakota State) crush the competition. The only losses (other than back-to-back games) have come against Boise State and Missouri. All are ranked in the top 15 of the FCS with SDSU at No. 1. The defending champion Jackrabbits play a top-five scoring and defensive game.

• South Dakota State at Southern Illinois, 3 p.m., ESPN+
• Western Illinois at North Dakota State, 3:30 p.m., ESPN+
• North Dakota at Northern Iowa, 5 p.m., ESPN+

Austin Mock’s best challenge

Penn State (-105) at Ohio State, Under-22 First Half: “I don’t have a strong opinion on this game, but both offenses are up against it here. We’ll have to wait until the second half for some fireworks as both teams are slow to start plays on offense.

Tennessee (-115) at Alabama, 48.5 under: “My model is a big fan of Alabama’s defense, especially its run defense. Tennessee will have a hard time finding any success on the field, and I don’t want its chances of finding the end zone if it’s one-dimensional. Alabama’s offense also has problems scoring. This game could be the complete opposite of last year’s shootout in Knoxville.

Duke +14.5 (-110) at Florida State: “It all depends on whether Leonard can go, and I’m sure he will. But I’m sure Mike Elko will be ready to slow down the Seminoles’ offense regardless of his defense. Duke has an exceptional pass defense, and slowing down a very efficient part of Florida State’s offense should be within two touchdowns. necessary

LONDON, Oct 20 (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s ruling Conservative Party suffered two heavy defeats in safe parliamentary seats on Friday, raising doubts about whether his party will win an expected general election next year.

The double defeat marked a dramatic drop in support for the Conservatives, who have won the last four national elections, and indicated that opposition Labor was on course to win back power for the first time since 2010.

Labor won the Mid-Bedfordshire constituency, about 50 miles (80 km) north of London, overcoming a majority of almost 25,000, the party’s biggest deficit in a by-election since 1945.

Enjoying the second-highest swing from the Conservatives since the Second World War, Labor overturned a large majority in another former Conservative stronghold of Tamworth, a largely rural constituency in central England.

“These are fantastic results that show Labor is back in the service of working people and reshaping the political map,” Labor leader Keir Starmer said in a statement.

Sunak, a 43-year-old former investment banker, has recently sought to portray himself as a bold reformer, no longer the cautious technocrat who restored Britain’s credibility after scandals and economic turmoil forced his two predecessors from office.

With voters angered by high inflation, economic stagnation and long waits for state-run health care, Chung is running out of time and opportunity to close the gap on Labor, which has a double-digit poll lead over the Conservatives. More than a year.

A spokesman for the Conservative Party said the results were tough, but governments usually struggle to win by-elections.

In a speech at his party’s convention this month, Sunak tried to portray himself as a bold reformer who was willing to take tough decisions to revive the economy.

Sunak announced plans to scrap the high-speed rail line championed by his predecessors and last month announced plans to scale back Britain’s plans to tackle climate change.

After the conference, Sunak failed to significantly reduce the deficit with Labor, although his personal ratings improved somewhat.

Sunak is currently in the Middle East, where he is encouraging countries to avoid further escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

“Political Earthquake”

This week Starmer’s spokesman downplayed the chances of Labor winning any seats, with his party likely to have a “moonshot”.

Politicians close to former prime minister Boris Johnson have resigned, leading to contests in Mid-Bedfordshire and Tamworth.

Former minister Nadine Dorries has quit her Mid-Bedfordshire seat after failing to win support for nomination to the upper house of parliament.

The rivalry in Tamworth was sparked after another politician, Chris Fincher, was suspended from parliament for groping at a London club. The allegations against him contributed to the downfall of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government.

Labor won the Mid-Bedfordshire constituency by more than 1,100, beating the Conservative majority of 24,664 in the last 2019 general election.

The region had previously elected a Conservative Member of Parliament at every election since 1931.

In Tamworth, Labor candidate Sarah Edwards won by a majority of more than 1,300, beating the Conservative majority of 19,634 in the 2019 general election.

Senior Labor member Peter Kyle said his party had delivered a “political earthquake”.

The Conservatives have won just one of the last 12 by-elections in this parliament, half of which were due to politicians resigning for misconduct.

Editor’s note: An earlier version of the story said the Big Ten was investigating and gathering evidence. The NCAA is investigating and compiling, and alerted the conference.

The NCAA is investigating the University of Michigan football program amid sign-stealing allegations, the Big Ten announced Thursday.

“UM athletics will provide full cooperation to the NCAA in this matter,” athletics director Warde Manuel said in a statement Thursday. “At the University of Michigan, we are all committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity for all members of our community. The same is expected of all faculty, staff and students.

Ahead of this weekend’s matchup between the rivals in East Lansing, the Big Ten reached out to Michigan State on Wednesday, saying it was aware of “credible sources” that say the Wolverines have successfully stolen signs called by opposing teams’ coaches this season.

The NCAA is investigating Michigan for a “possible rule violation involving in-person contact with opponents.” Per NCAA Bylaw 11.6.1, off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents (in the same season) is prohibited. An issue at law refers to a case that can proceed through the traditional infringement process.

Manuel spoke with conference commissioner Tony Pettiti on Wednesday. As of Thursday afternoon, Michigan had not yet been presented with the evidence compiled in the investigation, according to a source briefed on the charges.

A source briefed on the allegations said Michigan is accused of using a “wide net” to steal opposing teams’ identities. Evidence appears to suggest that UM knew what the opposing team was going to play before the play occurred.

“The Big Ten Conference considers the integrity of the competition extremely important and will continue to monitor the investigation,” the league said in a statement Thursday.

Upon learning of the pending investigation, Michigan State initially warned the Big Ten that it might consider not playing Saturday’s game out of concern for the health and safety of its players, according to two sources briefed on those conversations. On Thursday morning, MSU confirmed the game would be played. Michigan’s upcoming opponents have been notified of the charges and games are expected to go ahead as scheduled, an industry source said Thursday.

“While we look forward to this Saturday’s football game, we are saddened by the news of the NCAA investigation, and we echo the Big Ten Conference’s commitment to integrity. The allegations are concerning, but will be handled through NCAA processes. MSU has no comment on the matter. We continue to support our home team and prepare campus for a safe game day environment. The university is focused on doing,” Michigan State Interim President Theresa Woodruff read in a statement.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said he and his staff will “cooperate fully” with the investigation.

“I had no knowledge or information that the University of Michigan football program was illegally stealing signals, nor did I direct any staff or others to participate in off-campus scouting,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “I have no awareness that any of our employees did that or directed that activity.”

Autograph theft is not prohibited by the NCAA unless a team intercepts sports electronic communications. But it has a long history, with decades of accusations and accusations in college football.

Essentially, in 2020, Clemson was touted The best pass-stealing scheme in college football. previous For the 2020 Sugar BowlOhio State head coach Ryan Day said Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables “always seems to know what the other team is doing.”

Arizona State coach Todd Graham was accused of signal stealing in 2015 by both Washington and Utah. At halftime of a 2014 game, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder accused Auburn of stealing a pass. A year ago, Auburn was accused by Florida State of sign-stealing in the BCS championship game. The list goes on and on.

The question facing Michigan is whether these latest allegations go beyond on-field gesture stealing.

Michigan is currently under NCAA investigation for repeated Level II rule violations related to recruiting and reports to NCAA investigators around the time of Kovid’s death. Harbaugh served a three-game suspension imposed by the university.

Representative of the Republican Party. Jim Jordan failed to regain the House speaker’s victory in Wednesday’s second runoff, faring worse than he did in the first round of voting a day earlier. The loss raises serious questions about whether he has a viable path forward as Ohio Republicans face tough opposition and the House is gridlocked.

Despite the loss, Jordan has vowed to stay in the race. The House is expected to hold a third speaker vote Thursday at noon ET. Without a speaker, the room is effectively muted, a dangerous situation that comes amid conflicts abroad and a government shutdown next month.

The conservative Republicans’ struggle to gain traction has highlighted the limits of Donald Trump’s influence in the later speakership race. The former president supported Jordan.

As pressure mounts on Republicans to get out of the leadership crisis, some are the interim speaker, North Carolina’s GOP representative. Patrick McHenry tends to expand his powers, though such a move would not be without controversy and has divided Republicans.

During Tuesday’s first round of voting, 20 House Republicans voted against Jordan. On Wednesday, that number rose to 22, showing that opposition to the candidate has grown. Four new Republican votes against Jordan and two flipped on his column. Given the narrow House GOP majority, Jordan can only lose by a few votes, and a large number of votes against him puts the gauntlet out of reach.

Following his second loss on floor, Jordan noted that he was dug into the forward press.

“We don’t know when the next vote will be, but we want to continue the dialogue with our colleagues,” he said.

“We will continue to talk to members and continue to work,” he said.

Jordan is a polarizing figure in the speaker’s race, a complicating factor in his bid to lock down votes. He is a staunch ally of Trump, has a long-standing reputation as a conservative rebel and helped found the fierce House Freedom Caucus. As chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, he has also been a key figure in House GOP-led investigations.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy had 15 rounds of voting in January. But Jordan faces an uphill climb amid deep divisions in the House GOP caucus and the opposition he faces.

Tensions and frustrations among House Republicans have grown as the speakership battle drags on. Some lawmakers who voted against Jordan in the speaker race have charged what they described as a pressure campaign against them.

Representative Steve Womack of Arkansas derided what he called Jordan allies’ “attack, attack, attack” tactics against Republican opponents.

“Obviously, based on what I’ve done — I can only speak to me and what my staff have done in the last 24 or 48 hours — it’s clear what the strategy has been: attack, attack, attack. Attack members who disagree with you, attack them, subdue them. ,” he said.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon’s wife received anonymous text messages warning her husband to support Jordan. Bacon has been vocal against Jordan and was one of 20 Republicans who did not support Jordan in Tuesday’s vote.

“Your husband will no longer hold any political office. What a disappointment and failure he is,” read one of the messages sent to Bacon’s wife, obtained by Bacon by CNN.

Bacon’s wife responded to the speech by saying, “He has more courage than you. You will not put your name to your statements.

A GOP legislator voted for a congressman he didn’t want to be speaker. Ask why

Among those who have so far opposed Jordan’s effort are centrist Republicans, who say the face of the House GOP will be a conservative hardliner, and lawmakers are still angry at the Republicans who forced McCarthy out. Giving.

Scalise initially defeated Jordan at the GOP convention to become the speaker candidate, but later dropped out of the race amid opposition to his candidacy.

Morgan Stanley’s ( MS ) third-quarter profit fell 9% from a year ago as revenue from investment banking and trading fell, another sign that Wall Street is still struggling to recover from a prolonged slump.

Investors signaled their disappointment, sending the company’s shares down more than 6% on Wednesday morning. That puts the stock on pace for its biggest single-day drop in more than three years.

Morgan Stanley’s performance put it near the bottom of the big banks. Its profit drop was smaller than the 33% decline at rival Goldman Sachs ( GS ) , but it lagged gains at JPMorgan ( JPM ), Bank of America ( BAC ), Wells Fargo ( WFC ) and Citigroup ( C ).

Its investment banking revenues fell 27% from a year ago, placing it last among big banks with large Wall Street operations.

Investment banking fees at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Citigroup rose from a year ago. At JP Morgan, these fees fell by the lowest – 2.6% – for the same period.

Morgan Stanley’s revenue from trading stocks and bonds fell 4%. Both its wealth and investment management units posted higher year-on-year profits, but fell short of analyst expectations.

“Despite a mixed market environment this quarter, the company delivered solid results,” said CEO James Gorman, who announced in May that he would step down as chairman “at some point in the next 12 months.”

Ahead of Wednesday’s results, its shares were down 5.5% year to date, outperforming all of its peers except JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

However, over the past three months, it has fallen 7%, a steeper decline than all of its big bank peers except Citigroup.

Gorman told analysts that the firm is “increasingly adding resources to the M&A and underwriting calendars.” Morgan Stanley expects most operations to be operational by 2024, while he expects “momentum to continue this year.”

In a call with analysts, the company’s CFO Sharon Yeshaya said, “Despite weak quarterly results, we continue to see broad sector diversification of our completed deals, and the turnaround reflects a similar pattern.”

Giovani Reyna scored his first goal for the United States since 2021 in a 4-0 friendly win over Ghana at Geodis Park in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday night.

The Americans rebounded well from Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Germany, with Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogan scoring after Reina scored in the 10th minute.

– Former USA captain Bradley retires at season’s end

– Raina’s drought-ending goals could signal a new era

It was Reyna’s second game with the U.S. since last year’s World Cup — he was used sparingly because of off-field issues — and he used his place in Gregg Berhalter’s starting XI to score his first goal with the national team. Squad vs Costa Rica from June 9, 2021

Raina has returned to fitness since suffering a broken leg last June and played his second straight first half. The 20-year-old midfielder’s first game under Berhalder is against Germany on Saturday after the pair’s collapse in Qatar.

“Geo, what I’ve seen from practice No. 1 this camp is extreme focus and skill,” Berhalter said. “So when he’s playing like that, like he’s done this whole camp, he’s definitely a guy that can help this team, and it’s great to see him respond that way.”

Reyna told the U.S. Soccer Federation that he did not want to speak to reporters. He did not speak to the media following the national team matches after the World Cup.

Raina added his second goal after the U.S. was awarded an indirect free kick in Ghana’s box, and Pulisic rolled the ball in front of his teammate and set up a close range finish to give the Americans a 4-0 lead at the break. .

---

After the U.S. began its second term with four friendlies, Berhalter leads the Americans to the quarterfinals of the two-time CONCACAF Nations League, a spot in the 2024 Copa America next month.

Ghana knocked the USA out of the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, and the Americans opened the 2014 tournament with a win over the Black Stars. The 11th-ranked USA achieved its highest margin of victory against African opposition in 2000 against South Africa.

The Americans went ahead after Sergino Test dived towards goal and passed wide to Balogun, whose cross bounced off defender Nicholas Opoku. The ball fell to Raina, who curled a right-footed shot from 12 yards.

Pulisic slotted home a penalty kick past Gideon Mensah and Tim Weah for his 28th international goal.

With the United States pressing, Weah created the third goal when Jerome Opoku failed to control a pass down the flank. Weah took the ball and centered Balogun, who spun as he took a touch and scored his third goal in six appearances from the middle of the penalty area.

Raina got his second goal from an indirect free kick 10 yards out, awarded when Opoku sat on the ball. Reina poked the ball to Pulisic, who tapped it in and Reina kicked the ball into the roof of the net.

“Apart from the goals, how he brings the players to attack,” said Berhalter, “how he is able to stay calm on the ball and give us the calmness and balance that we need at times, but in the finals it is decisive. Aces.”

There was little pressure on American goalkeeper Matt Turner, but he tipped Mohamed Kudus’ 41st-minute shot over the crossbar.

German-born midfielder Leonard Maloney, 24, entered in the 65th minute to make his 60th U.S. debut under Berhalter.

No. 60 Ghana lost 2-0 against Mexico and snapped a five-match unbeaten run under Chris Hughton, who took over as coach in February. The qualifiers for the Black Stars Open World Cup are next month.

As one of the co-hosts, the United States automatically gets a chance to compete in the World Cup.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this story.

Monroe County Hospital in south Alabama will close its labor and delivery department on Nov. 15, becoming the third hospital in a month to announce the end of health services for pregnant women and newborns.

The announcement follows news that two labor and supply departments in the Birmingham area will close by the end of the month. Doctors at Princeton Baptist Medical Center and Shelby Baptist Medical Center will stop delivering babies after Oct. 24.

Labor and delivery units have been disappearing across Alabama for decades. The latest closures will affect women in downtown Birmingham, a suburb of fast-growing Shelby County, and rural Monroe County, which sits halfway between Mobile and Montgomery.

A statement posted Oct. 3 on the Monroe County Hospital Facebook page said staff were “heartbroken” about the decision to end labor and delivery.

“Since February, we’ve known this closure was a distinct possibility,” the post said. “Please understand that we have done everything we can to avoid this closing. As with many rural hospitals, our plan going forward is to take OB patients to the nearest facility. Our emergency staff, along with the obstetric staff, have immediately begun training nurses and doctors.

Alisha Bowen of Monroeville was 25 weeks pregnant when she learned she couldn’t deliver at a local hospital. Bowen, who was seeing a specialist at USA Health, scheduled a mobile delivery in 90 minutes.

“It will probably be a planned induction or a planned C-section,” she said. “I was hoping to be natural, but that wasn’t going to be the case because I wasn’t planning on having a baby on the side of I-65.”

Still, Bowen considers himself lucky. She has reliable transportation and other resources that make the long journey difficult, but not impossible.

“We already have women in the northern part of the county who struggle to get transportation to Monroeville, much less to Montgomery or Mobile,” Bowen said. “It will certainly affect residents with fewer resources more negatively.”

Monroe County Hospital is integrating the training with obstetrics and emergency staff and moving some nurses from labor and delivery to the emergency department, according to a Facebook post.

The latest closures are the latest in a long-term trend. The number of hospitals with labor and delivery services in Alabama has declined over the past four decades, particularly in rural areas. According to the Alabama Rural Health Association, the number of rural counties with obstetrics departments fell from 45 in 1980 to 16 in 2019.

A recent report by the March of Dimes found that some women in rural Alabama have to drive more than 70 miles to get to a hospital with obstetric care. Nearly 28 percent of Alabama women live more than 30 minutes from labor and delivery services, compared to 9.7 percent nationwide.

When Monroe County Hospital closes its labor and delivery department, it will leave the county without services for pregnant women. Closest is Grove Hill Memorial Hospital with obstetrics, 45 minutes away in Clark County.

About half of Alabama’s pregnant women are covered by Medicaid, the state’s health insurance program for low-income people. Reimbursement rates for Medicaid are lower than private insurance.

The closures come at a time when the state is struggling with poor child and maternal health. Alabama had the third highest maternal mortality rate between 2018 and 2020, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the third highest infant mortality rate in 2021.
