top646 online casino Amid growing concerns that the incoming Donald Trump administration may impose travel bans, several universities in the US have urged international students and staff members to return to the country before the President-elect's inauguration in January 2025. After his historic win against Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election in the US, Trump is all set to take the oath of office on January 20, 2025. During his election campaign, Trump vowed to sign executive orders on issues related to immigration and the economy on his first day as the 47th President of the US. “On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history,” he said during most of his election rallies. Concerned over disruptions caused by travel bans when he earlier served as the US president, a few top US universities have started issuing travel advisories to their faculty members as well as international students, who might travel outside the US on January 20, PTI reported. In total, India and China make up more than half (54%) of all the international students in the US, data from the US Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs as well as the Institute of International Education shows. For the first time since 2009, India emerged as the leading place of origin with 331,602 international students in the US during 2023/2024, surpassing China. This reflects a 23% jump from the prior period, as per the data from ‘Open Doors 2024 Report on International Educational Exchange'. China witnessed a 4% decline and had 277,398 students in the US, taking the second leading place of origin. However, it remained the top-sending country when it comes to undergraduates and non-degree students (87,551 and 5,517). Urging students to assess their travel plans during the forthcoming winter break, David Elwell, Associate Dean and Director at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) International Students Office, said, “Students who would need to apply for a new entry visa at the US Embassy/Consulate abroad to return to the US in their student status should assess the possibility of facing any extensive processing times and have a backup plan if they must travel abroad and wait for a new entry visa to be issued.” Elwell noted that any processing delays might impact their ability to return to the US as planned. In an advisory, the Office of Global Affairs at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, recently recommended that its international community, including those under UMass immigration sponsorship, consider returning before Trump's inauguration. Although it is not a requirement or mandate from UMass, the university said, “Given that a new presidential administration can enact new policies on their first day in office (January 20) and based on previous experience with travel bans that were enacted in the first Trump administration in 2017,” the Office of Global Affairs sent out this advisory out of an abundance of caution for preventing any travel disruptions, the news agency report said. The Wesleyan Argus, a college newspaper for Wesleyan University, informed that the institution had been ‘evaluating the potential future impacts’ of the Trump administration on both the international and the undocumented students.MINNEAPOLIS — Lindsay is back in action. The Lynx announced Saturday that Lindsay Whalen, their Hall of Fame point guard, will join the team as an assistant coach along with former Washington Mystics coach Eric Thibault, who will be associate head coach. Whalen, who led the University of Minnesota to a Final Four and was a three-time All-America before starting her pro career, also coached her alma mater for five seasons after retiring from the WNBA as a four-time league champion with the Lynx playing for Cheryl Reeve. She was a two-time Olympic gold medalist and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022. Reeve, the Lynx president of basketball operations and head coach, announced the hires in a news release. The team will hold a news conference Monday. “Eric has vast experience coaching in the WNBA as both a head and an assistant coach and ... Lindsay adds a unique perspective as a Lynx legend and Naismith Hall of Famer,” Reeve said in the release. Thibault coached the Mystics the past two seasons after being an assistant for the previous 10 years under his father, Mike Thibault. Washington won the WNBA title in 2019. Eric Thibault was fired in October after the Mystics went 33-47 in his two seasons, including 14-26 in 2024. Whalen was 71-76 in her five seasons (2018-23) with the Gophers, and 32-58 in the Big Ten. Whalen left the job in March 2023 in what was described as a mutual decision with athletic director Mark Coyle. She accepted a $215,000 settlement to be terminated without cause rather than continue to work for her alma mater as a special assistant. Whalen said at the time she was not ready to return to coaching right away. As the Lynx made a run to the WNBA Finals last season, she cheered them on from courtside. “I’m so excited to be back with the Lynx and back with Coach and Bekky [assistant coach Rebekkah Brunson],” Whalen said in the release. “Eric and I have also known each other for a long time, and for me, I couldn’t imagine joining a better staff as I return to coaching and get my first opportunity to coach in the WNBA. We have a special group with this team and I can’t wait to get to work.” Lynx associate head coach Katie Smith left the team on Nov. 11 to join the staff at Ohio State, her alma mater. Reeve brought in Smith in 2020, after she her contract wasn’t renewed following two losing seasons as head coach of the New York Liberty. Whalen’s jersey No. 13 is retired by both the Lynx and the Gophers. Whalen was a five-time All-Star in nine seasons in Minnesota after starting her WNBA career with six seasons at Connecticut, where she played under Mike Thibault. She played in 480 regular-season games, winning 323 (second most behind Sue Bird in league history) and won 54 postseason games (second in league history behind Brunson’s 57). Whalen won Olympic gold medals with Team USA in 2012 and 2016. ©2024 The Minnesota Star Tribune. Visit startribune.com .

Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery's podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. “Chuck was a dear friend and brother and a tremendous man of faith, life will not be the same without him,” Young wrote. Watch NBC Bay Area News 📺 Streaming free 24/7 Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. In 1983, Woolery began an 11-year run as host of TV’s “Love Connection,” for which he coined the phrase, “We’ll be back in two minutes and two seconds,” a two-fingered signature dubbed the “2 and 2.” In 1984, he hosted TV’s “Scrabble,” simultaneously hosting two game shows on TV until 1990. “Love Connection,” which aired long before the dawn of dating apps, had a premise that featured either a single man or single woman who would watch audition tapes of three potential mates and then pick one for a date. A couple of weeks after the date, the guest would sit with Woolery in front of a studio audience and tell everybody about the date. The audience would vote on the three contestants, and if the audience agreed with the guest’s choice, “Love Connection” would offer to pay for a second date. Woolery told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003 that his favorite set of lovebirds was a man aged 91 and a woman aged 87. "She had so much eye makeup on, she looked like a stolen Corvette. He was so old he said, ‘I remember wagon trains.’ The poor guy. She took him on a balloon ride.” Other career highlights included hosting the shows “Lingo," “Greed” and “The Chuck Woolery Show,” as well as hosting the short-lived syndicated revival of “The Dating Game” from 1998 to 2000 and an ill-fated 1991 talk show. In 1992, he played himself in two episodes of TV’s “Melrose Place.” Woolery became the subject of the Game Show Network’s first attempt at a reality show, “Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned,” which premiered in 2003. It shared the title of the pop song in 1968 by Woolery and his rock group, the Avant-Garde. It lasted six episode and was panned by critics. Woolery began his TV career at a show that has become a mainstay. Although most associated with Pat Sajak and Vanna White, “Wheel of Fortune” debuted Jan. 6, 1975, on NBC with Woolery welcoming contestants and the audience. Woolery, then 33, was trying to make it in Nashville as a singer. “Wheel of Fortune” started life as “Shopper’s Bazaar,” incorporating Hangman-style puzzles and a roulette wheel. After Woolery appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show” singing “Delta Dawn,” Merv Griffin asked him to host the new show with Susan Stafford. “I had an interview that stretched to 15, 20 minutes,” Woolery told The New York Times in 2003. “After the show, when Merv asked if I wanted to do a game show, I thought, ‘Great, a guy with a bad jacket and an equally bad mustache who doesn’t care what you have to say — that’s the guy I want to be.’” NBC initially passed, but they retooled it as “Wheel of Fortune” and got the green light. After a few years, Woolery demanded a raise to $500,000 a year, or what host Peter Marshall was making on “Hollywood Squares.” Griffin balked and replaced Woolery with weather reporter Pat Sajak. “Both Chuck and Susie did a fine job, and ‘Wheel’ did well enough on NBC, although it never approached the kind of ratings success that ‘Jeopardy!’ achieved in its heyday,” Griffin said in “Merv: Making the Good Life Last,” an autobiography from the 2000s co-written by David Bender. Woolery earned an Emmy nod as host. Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery served in the U.S. Navy before attending college. He played double bass in a folk trio, then formed the psychedelic rock duo The Avant-Garde in 1967 while working as a truck driver to support himself as a musician. The Avant-Garde, which tourbed in a refitted Cadillac hearse, had the Top 40 hit “Naturally Stoned,” with Woolery singing, “When I put my mind on you alone/I can get a good sensation/Feel like I’m naturally stoned.” After The Avant-Garde broke up, Woolery released his debut solo single “I’ve Been Wrong” in 1969 and several more singles with Columbia before transitioning to country music by the 1970s. He released two solo singles, “Forgive My Heart” and “Love Me, Love Me.” Woolery wrote or co-wrote songs for himself and everyone from Pat Boone to Tammy Wynette. On Wynette’s 1971 album “We Sure Can Love Each Other,” Woolery wrote “The Joys of Being a Woman” with lyrics including “See our baby on the swing/Hear her laugh, hear her scream.” After his TV career ended, Woolery went into podcasting. In an interview with The New York Times, he called himself a gun-rights activist and described himself as a conservative libertarian and constitutionalist. He said he hadn’t revealed his politics in liberal Hollywood for fear of retribution. He teamed up with Mark Young in 2014 for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and soon became a full supporter of Donald Trump while arguing minorities don’t need civil rights and causing a firestorm by tweeting an antisemitic comment linking Soviet Communists to Judaism. “President Obama’s popularity is a fantasy only held by him and his dwindling legion of juice-box-drinking, anxiety-dog-hugging, safe-space-hiding snowflakes,” he said. Woolery also was active online, retweeting articles from Conservative Brief, insisting Democrats were trying to install a system of Marxism and spreading headlines such as “Impeach him! Devastating photo of Joe Biden leaks.” During the early stages of the pandemic, Woolery initially accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and Trump’s chances for reelection to the presidency. “The most outrageous lies are the ones about COVID-19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, media, Democrats, our doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it,” Woolery wrote in July 2020. Trump retweeted that post to his 83 million followers. By the end of the month, nearly 4.5 million Americans had been infected with COVID-19 and more than 150,000 had died. Just days later, Woolery changed his stance, announcing his son had contracted COVID-19. “To further clarify and add perspective, COVID-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones,” Woolery posted before his account was deleted. Woolery later explained on his podcast that he never called COVID-19 “a hoax” or said “it’s not real,” just that “we’ve been lied to.” Woolery also said it was “an honor to have your president retweet what your thoughts are and think it’s important enough to do that.” In addition to his wife, Woolery is survived by his sons Michael and Sean and his daughter Melissa, Young said.A pair of teams with minimal rest will face off in Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday when No. 22 St. John takes on Georgia.

BELOIT - The Beloit-Janesville Express, which has been ferrying people between the two cities for three decades, could be discontinued after 2025 if it can't find more riders. In early November, the Beloit City Council gave city staff permission to apply for an $80,000 state grant to study the "BJE." The goal would be to see if a new route would generate more riders and more partners to support its continued existence. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.
