Oklahoma sophomore quarterback Jackson Arnold will enter the transfer portal, according to multiple reports on Wednesday. A five-star recruit in 2023 out of Denton, Texas, Arnold began this season as the starter, lost his spot and later regained it as the Sooners went 6-6. Monday is the first day that underclassmen can transfer during the winter portal window. Arnold completed 154 of 246 passes (62.6 percent) for 1,421 yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions in 10 games. He also ran the ball 150 times for 444 yards and three TDs, including 25 attempts for 131 yards in the Sooners' 24-3 win over Alabama on Nov. 23. As a freshman last season playing behind Dillon Gabriel, Arnold appeared in seven games and was 44 of 69 (63.8 percent) for 563 yards, four TDs and three picks. A former Gatorade Texas Player of the Year, Arnold started for Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl last December, when the Sooners lost 38-24 to Arizona. He was QB1 for the 2024 campaign, but three early turnovers caused him to be pulled in a 25-15 defeat to Tennessee on Sept. 21 and replaced by true freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. Arnold came off the bench to replace Hawkins in a 35-9 loss to South Carolina on Oct. 19, and head coach Brent Venables afterward fired offensive coordinator Seth Littrell. Co-offensive coordinator Joe Jon Finley became the interim play-caller. Venables filled the position permanently on Monday by hiring Washington State OC Ben Arbuckle, who could bring Cougars QB John Mateer with him to Norman, Okla. --Field Level MediaRomanian voters have delivered a split decision in the country's presidential race, with Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and centre-right challenger Elena Lasconi emerging as the top contenders. Exit polls indicated Ciolacu, representing the social democrats, secured around 25% of the votes, establishing a slight lead. Elena Lasconi, from the centre-right, captured approximately 18% of the vote, positioning both candidates for a competitive run-off. The second round of voting is set for December 8, promising a fiercely contested race between the two political factions. Experts suggest the outcome could significantly impact Romania's political landscape, as the nation prepares for a decisive electoral face-off between these leading figures.

Customers refuse free safety check of LPG connectionsVANCOUVER. British Columbia, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Through the Province's Integrated Marketplace program delivered by Innovate BC, Prince Rupert-based Gitxaala Environmental Services (GES) has been awarded $448,355 in funding to support a multi-phase project aimed at enhancing environmental monitoring processes in port and terminal settings to improve operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. GES, a wholly owned entity of the Gitxaala Nation, is working with Nanaimo-based Shift Coastal Technologies to utilize their new Port Environmental Monitoring Platform (PEMP) for critical data collection. Through this collaboration, and with support from the Canadian Coast Guard, GES will be leveraging the PEMP as part of operations at the Port of Prince Rupert, which serves as a Testbed for the Integrated Marketplace. "There is a strong ecosystem of talented companies creating new and innovative technology that will drive B.C. towards sustainable economic growth," said Diana Gibson, Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation. "One example is Gitxaala Environmental Services who, working with Innovate BC through B.C.'s Integrated Marketplace program, will scale up their technology solutions and strengthen B.C.'s economy in a way that contributes to meaningful economic reconciliation." Created to help drive innovation in the province, the Integrated Marketplace supports projects that connect strategic partners operating at Testbeds like the Port of Prince Rupert, to B.C.-based solution providers to implement, scale, and export B.C. technology solutions. This framework allows B.C. industries to receive assistance and reduce the risks in adopting innovation and new technologies, boosting their productivity and competitiveness, while connecting these solution providers with valuable Canadian reference customers that support their growth. "Through the Integrated Marketplace, we are creating an avenue for local solution providers such as Gitxaala Environmental Services to contribute to the development of high-growth industries and at the same time address critical priorities here in B.C. and at a global level," said Peter Cowan, President + CEO of Innovate BC. "From reducing carbon emissions in key provincial sectors, to bolstering the productivity of major industries, and in this instance, supporting indigenous economic development in B.C. and generating new job opportunities in the region's ocean-based sector, the impact is broad-based, creating prosperity for our industries, businesses, and communities." The project will test the PEMP in three distinct subject areas, with each phase leveraging different hardware, including sensors mounted on autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and drones. This will enable the PEMP to collect real-time, diverse data types including habitat characterization, noise, emissions, seabed disturbance, and water quality, among other ecological factors. Using Shift's software, the data can be viewed in real-time on a marine domain awareness platform used to inform maritime decision-making for port and terminal clients, in a safer, more cost-effective, and accurate way, with less environmental impact. Phase 1: Marine Mammal Observation (MMO) and Marine Water Quality Using a combination of the PEMP's shore-based and drone optical and thermal imaging cameras, along with drones equipped with water sampling devices, GES aims to improve the observation of marine mammals and water quality monitoring to enhance understanding of local marine behaviour and environmental conditions. This will support refined maritime project planning and environmental protection. Phase 2: Hydroacoustic Monitoring for MMO and Underwater Noise Employing ASVs equipped with hydroacoustic sensors, GES seeks to utilize the PEMP to enhance the observation of marine mammals and underwater noise levels to establish exclusion zones and protect marine habitats. This will support compliance with environmental regulations and enable better management of acoustic impacts on marine life. Phase 3: Photogrammetry Surveys for Artificial Reefs and Infrastructure Utilizing the PEMP's ASV's fitted with photogrammetric cameras to capture high-resolution images of artificial reefs and underwater structures, GES will build 3D models to analyze structure and habitat changes over time, gathering detailed insights into species composition, habitat changes, and infrastructure health. This will support ongoing environmental monitoring and help guide management strategies for underwater ecosystems. Through this project, Shift Coastal Technologies can access newly collected data to further develop the PEMP, with the goal of advancing its scalability, range, and coverage. This includes plans to work with GES on incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) with the PEMP to enhance its capabilities and drive further adoption among maritime sector stakeholders, like the Canadian Coast Guard, across major Canadian and US maritime markets. This announcement is part of the Government of B.C.'s investment of $11.5 million, and the Government of Canada's investment, through PacifiCan, of $9.9 million in the Integrated Marketplace.

Sajjan, Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada "PacifiCan knows B.C. entrepreneurs are creating the innovations to address industry needs, reduce environmental impacts, and grow prosperity here at home. Gitxaala Environmental Services' deployment of Shift Coastal Technologies' platform for environmental data collection will boost productivity, support Indigenous economic development and create good jobs. This project shows how the Integrated Marketplace is helping local businesses test their innovations here in B.C. before taking on the world." Trevor McConkey, General Manager, Gitxaala Environmental Services "This collaboration, supported by Innovate BC through the Integrated Marketplace initiative, is key to building resilient and local expertise in marine and environmental sciences on the North Coast of British Columbia. The opportunity to evaluate emerging technologies which can enable improved safety, efficiency, and data quality is highly aligned with our organizational objectives, and those of our clients." James Spencer, CEO, Shift Coastal Technologies "This collaboration, made possible through Innovate BC's Integrated Marketplace program, exemplifies how advanced marine technologies, paired with a local First Nation-owned business, can create scalable, impactful solutions for sustainability. We are proud to partner with Gitxaala Environmental Services to develop tools that empower Indigenous communities and redefine environmental monitoring."

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday moved to dismiss the federal cases against US President-elect Donald Trump -- including one for election subversion -- citing an official policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Trump, 78, was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden and mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House, but neither case ever came to trial. Smith, in a filing with the district judge in Washington presiding over the election case, said it should be dropped in light of the long-standing Justice Department policy of not indicting or prosecuting a sitting president. He cited the same reasoning in withdrawing his appeal of a ruling by a district judge, a Trump appointee, who dismissed the classified documents case earlier this year. Smith asked District Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the election interference case "without prejudice" -- leaving open the possibility it could be revived after Trump leaves office four years from now. The special counsel paused the election interference case this month after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. "The Government's position on the merits of the defendant's prosecution has not changed," Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. "But the circumstances have." "It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President," Smith said. "As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated." In a separate filing, Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump but pursuing the case against his two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the cases were "empty and lawless, and should never have been brought." "Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party's fight against their Political Opponent, ME," he said. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before." Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding -- the session of Congress called to certify Biden's win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of the then-president's supporters. Trump is also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. The former and incoming president also faces two state cases -- in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump's lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office. cl/bgsThe latest entry in the franchise launched 30 days ago, and it was clear from the start that Activision had another hit on its hands.

Watch: Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai performs iconic 'YMCA' dance on private jet Kai Trump , the 17-year-old granddaughter of President-elect Donald Trump , captured social media's attention by showcasing her grandfather's iconic "YMCA" dance moves in a TikTok video aboard his private jet. Kai, alongside her friend Emma Markin, re-enacted the signature steps, including finger-pointing and a playful thumbs-up gesture, in the opulent setting of Trump’s Boeing 757. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who went where and for how much IPL 2025: Complete list of players of each franchise "Learned these moves from the best," Kai captioned the clip, which has garnered praise from her followers, many urging her to convince Trump to join her on TikTok. Comments like "No one can do it like your Grandpa! But you’re close," reflect the admiration for her tribute to the soon-to-be 47th president's campaign trail antics. Kai has been a rising figure on social media, amassing over a million followers on TikTok since her appearance at the Republican National Convention in July. Alongside sharing glimpses of her family life, including moments at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago election night event, she balances the world of politics with her passion for golf, where she is already a Varsity Captain and a rising star in the sport. Her tribute dance also highlights the widespread adoption of Trump’s moves by athletes, including NFL stars and UFC champions, during their celebrations. However, the viral trend has sparked mixed reactions, with critics like DailyMail.com columnist Tim Howard calling for clarity on whether such performances are political statements or purely for fun. Kai, who recently committed to the University of Miami for golf, credits her grandfather for his encouragement and support in pursuing her dreams. Reflecting on their bond, she said, "To me, he’s just a normal grandpa... he always encourages me to be the most successful person I can be."

“Wicked” was , allegedly due to its LGBTQ cast, but could the blockbuster musical ever be fully banned in the United States? Filmmaker Adam McKay “wouldn’t be surprised” if the film was pulled in the next few years because of where America is headed politically. The “Don’t Look Up” director shared his “Wicked” thoughts on X on Tuesday, writing: “On a pure storytelling level ‘Wicked Part 1’ is right up there as one of the most radical big studio Hollywood movies ever made. I know ‘Part 2’ swings back to the center a bit but ‘Part 1’ is nakedly about radicalization in the face of careerism, fascism, propaganda.” He continued, “What’s really striking about ‘Wicked Part 1’ is that it’s coming out NOW when America has never been more right wing and propagandized. And yes, I know the theatrical production and the book are much older so part of the timing is a coincidence but still...” While replying to another X user surprised about his take on the film, , “I think you’ll be shocked. If America keeps going on the track it is I wouldn’t be surprised to see the movie banned in 3-5 years.” McKay is no stranger to political films. His most recent movie, 2021’s “Don’t Look Up,” was a timely apocalyptic thriller about how the world would respond (poorly) to a cataclysmic meteor. Prior to that, he directed “Vice,” a political satire about former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, and “The Big Short,” about the 2007 U.S. housing market crash. He likened “Wicked” to other “radical big studio” films like “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” “The Sound of Music,” “The Searchers,” “Citizen Kane” and “The Hunger Games.” Of the 2012 Jennifer Lawrence movie, he wrote: “That’s a big one. It’s incredibly left wing.” He continued that “Wicked” is “VERY radical. My daughter told me the book is wild and worth a read,” McKay added of the 1995 novel “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” which inspired the Broadway musical. “Wicked” is expected to be a best picture nominee at the Oscars, and it recently picked up Golden Globe nods for best musical/comedy and acting nominations for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. McKay raved about Grande’s performance as Glinda, writing: “Also Ariana Grande is incredible. It’s as good a performance as you’ll find in any genre.” Sign up for .

WARREN, Mich. (WXYZ) — The tragedy at the intersection of Chicago Road and Mound Road on Saturday morning changed many lives forever. Warren police said Diamond Leann Glenn, 27, ran into the back of another vehicle and killed 69-year-old Christopher Andelean of Sterling Heights. Toxicology reports are pending, but Glenn was allegedly drunk. "I'm still very angry, and I'm like a forgiving-type person. But I'm still very angry," Michele Milam, Andelean's niece told 7 News Detroit. "I'm not only angry at the person, I'm angry at her people. Whoever she was with that night. Because I don't know too many people that drink alone and drive home at 5 in the morning," she explained. Police have not revealed where Glenn, a Harrison Township resident, was coming from. Milam described her uncle as an "excellent human being." "I wouldn't have agreed to this (interview), however this is the type of person my uncle was. He was a person's voice. He was a union rep at General Motors for over 40 years. He was the type of person that if you read the comments about him on Facebook, it's just beautiful and tremendous," she said. Milam said her uncle had never met a stranger, that he helped everyone and had married his teenage sweetheart. "They beat all the odds. They did everything to be a great family. They raised their kids," Milam said. "My uncle's son just got a new liver last year. He just got the all clear for his new liver. He had cancer. No fault of his own. My uncle drove him every other week to Chicago for the past couple years," she explained. She said her uncle was set to retire from General Motors this year. Then tragedy struck. Warren police lieutenant John Gajewski said, "I think if you ask any police officer about the worst parts of the job, everybody will agree that one of, if not, the worst parts of the job is having to contact or knock on the door of a loved one and tell them that their husband, father, mother, sister, wife isn't coming home and that they've been killed in a drunk driving accident." He said Glenn, so far, is only charged for biting an officer at the scene while toxicology reports are pending. "It's never been easier to avoid or prevent drunk driving due to technology and these rides sharing apps," he explained. You can call an Uber or Lyft. Also, AAA has the free Tow-to-Go program. Adrienne Woodland of AAA Michigan explained, "We implore you put the keys down and call AAA, and what will happen is AAA will dispatch a tow truck that will transport the would-be impaired driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius." Adrienne Woodland of AAA Michigan said you don't have to be a AAA to benefit. Or as Milam pointed out, if you see someone who's had too much to drink about to drive, intervene. Milam said, "Why is it where we're always focusing on just that one person driving? We need to focus on who got her to this point because it didn't happen alone in my opinion." Glenn's next court appearance is January 2nd. For information on AAA's free Tow-to-Go program click here.
