Like Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne on a shopping spree, the Los Angeles Dodgers are racking up quite a few IOUs. According to the Associated Press , the team has accumulated over $1 billion in deferred payments to seven players between the years of 2028-46 after the contracts this offseason to Blake Snell (five years, $182 million, with $66 million in deferred money through July 1, 2046) and Tommy Edman (five years, $74 million, with $25 million in deferred money through July 1, 2044). This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.

A day after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah remarked that the Congress is not part of the coalition government, the grand old party suffered a humiliating defeat in the Maharashtra Assembly polls. The Congress party's weakening position is expected to reshape the dynamics of its alliance with the National Conference (NC). With the Congress struggling to hold its ground after a dismal performance in Maharashtra, political analysts believe the NC may reconsider the significance it places on its partnership with the party in J&K. On Friday, Omar Abdullah remarked that the Congress party is not a part of the government in Jammu and Kashmir. "Congress is supporting us from the outside; it has not joined our government. The government brought the resolution, and except for the BJP, all the Assembly members passed it that time which included the Congress as well", the Chief Minister said when his reaction was sought regarding differences with Congress on the issue of resolution on the special status. Reconsidering the Alliance It is believed that the NC will try to get rid of the "non-performing liability" Congress in Jammu and Kashmir. The Congress, already grappling with internal divisions and leadership challenges at the national level, faced another blow in Maharashtra, where it failed to make any significant electoral gains. This weakening of the Congress's stature is expected to have ramifications beyond the state, particularly in regions like J&K, where the party is part of a "self-proclaimed alliance" with the NC because the ruling is party is not giving any importance to the grand old party. NC's Strategic Shift The NC, led by Omar Abdullah, has traditionally shared a pragmatic relationship with the Congress, often collaborating on key political issues. However, the Congress's eroding strength has raised questions about its viability as a dependable ally. According to political observers, the NC may seize this opportunity to sideline Congress's influence in J&K's political affairs. "Given the Congress's poor performance in Maharashtra, it is likely that the party will re-evaluate its approach to the alliance," said a senior NC leader, wishing anonymity. "The National Conference has always prioritized regional interests, and with the Congress losing ground, the NC may feel less compelled to accommodate its demands." In J&K, Congress has struggled to maintain its relevance in the face of shifting political dynamics. The party's weakening national stature further diminishes its ability to negotiate from a position of strength. Sources within the NC suggest that the party is unlikely to give the Congress much importance in the upcoming electoral strategy. The Congress's internal divisions and leadership challenges at the national level have compounded its difficulties, making it a less attractive partner for the NC. As the political landscape continues to evolve, the NC's strategic decisions will likely shape the future of its alliance with the Congress in Jammu and Kashmir. BJP celebrates Maharashtra victory. Meanwhile, the BJP celebrated the party's victory in the Maharastra assembly elections. J&K BJP president Sat Sharma said that the BJP has become the world's largest political party, and the credit for the same goes to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, national president J.P. Nadda, and the consistent working of the activists in every nook and corner. He said that the BJP has the distinction of reaching new heights in the shortest period, which is also reflective of the people's mindset, which has seen the good governance model of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and wants to contribute to the country's march towards peace, progress, and prosperity by supporting and voting for it repeatedly. He further said that the results of the 2024 assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir stand testimony to the fact that the BJP is strengthening its base in every state and UT. The BJP, here, created history by winning the highest percentage of votes and also taking its height up from last time's 25 to 29. J&K Police Launches Sports Initiative To Combat Drug Abuse, Connect With Youth BJP Leader Warns Omar Abdullah Against Tampering with Reservation Quota Of Paharis Suspense over Congress role in J&K coalition after Chief Minister's remarksAs a smooth-talking media and political pundit, Colman Domingo ’s Muncie Daniels is used to commenting on politics and the news — not becoming the news — in The Madness . However, his fate will quickly change for the worse when we meet him in the new series. When the CNN personality discovers the dead body of a white supremacist in the woods near where he’s staying in the Poconos, he winds up in the crosshairs of law enforcement and possibly framed for murder — and even his lawyer friend Kwesi (Deon Cole) warns the silver-tongued Muncie, “You’re not going to be able to talk your way out of this.... They are going to pin all this on you.” In this paranoia-inducing Netflix thriller, Daniels finds himself in the middle of a sprawling conspiracy that delves into the darkest corners of society and explores the intersections between the wealthy and powerful, the alt-right, and other fringe movements. “[The series] is examining the climate we’re in right now,” Domingo teased to TV Insider. “Who sows those seeds of disinformation? Who’s puppeteering all of this?” ‘Euphoria’ Star Colman Domingo Explains Season 3 Delay To clear his name, Muncie must figure out whether to trust FBI agent Franco Quiñones (John Ortiz) and reconnect with his working-class, activist roots in Philadelphia while reuniting with his family, which includes teenage son Demetrius (Thaddeus J. Mixson), estranged wife Elena (Marsha Stephanie Blake), and daughter Kallie (Gabrielle Graham) from a previous relationship. “He’s trying to solve a crime,” creator Stephen Belber previews, “but at the same time he’s trying to solve something inside of himself.” To find out what else we should know about the new thrill ride, we spoke to The Color Purple and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom star Colman Domingo — who played Victor Strand on Fear the Walking Dead for eight seasons, won an Emmy for Euphoria , and was nominated for a 2024 Oscar for the civil rights drama Rustin — about the bind in which Muncie finds himself in The Madness , the similarities he shares with the character, and the resonance of a story that speaks to our age of online disinformation and conspiracy theories. Why were you drawn to this series and this character? What about it made you say yes to it? Colman Domingo: There’s so much about it that is raising questions about who are we in America right now. What do you believe in? And what are you believing? What’s being fed to you? These are questions that I have deep in my heart, and the series is bringing out those thoughts I have in the back of my head. Like who is manipulating all of us? I do believe there’s people feeding the public misinformation, but it benefits people with money, power, and position. Are there similarities you share with Muncie? Wildly enough, he’s from my neighborhood, from West Philly. He’s a college professor. So am I. There’s a lot of similarities. He’s a public-facing person. Even some of his ideology, where he believes that if you just get people at the table to sit and have a civil conversation, things will get better. I do believe that. I actively do that in my life. And I thought, “Oh, I understand Muncie. I understand what he’s trying to do.” But then the series takes him on another journey to actually go more full-throttle and understand all the dynamics he’s been espousing but not really having to get in the mud with. Is Muncie’s journey in the series a metaphor for how we’re all trying to make sense of this firehose of facts and information, along with disinformation, conspiracy-mongering, and lies that are coming at us 24/7? Yeah. It’s your modern-day North By Northwest, your modern-day Three Days of the Condor. He’s an everyman who has to go on this journey that he’s not ready to go on. He didn’t even know he’s been preparing for it. He was just living his best life, has a great position at CNN, and has been studying jujitsu for his own health. But he didn’t know that he’d need all that to go down the rabbit hole for real. What’s Muncie’s relationship like with his estranged wife, son Demetrius, and his older daughter Kallie from another relationship? All of it is precarious. What’s going on between he and his wife, we made it a gray area. Maybe they both started out as young activists, and the other one moved into celebrity, and the other one is a college professor, and they’re just not meeting [each other] where they used to be. It was more about having a crisis of faith in each other. Then with his daughter [Kallie], he made choices when he was younger, in a relationship he was in before he went to an Ivy League school. So he’s sort of been a deadbeat dad in that way. Then with his younger son, he’s sort of an absentee father. He believes he’s doing the best that he can by providing financially and showing up when he can. But I think he’s been a bit selfish. So this whole crisis is helping him examine not only who he is, but who has he been—and not been—to his family. Now he’s got to do some relationship repair; at the same time, he’s trying to advocate and save his own life and protect his family. Has he lost himself a bit over the years in pursuit of success and ambition? More from this section I think so. But I think if you asked Muncie, he wouldn’t say that. I think he believed, no, it’s okay to change. It’s OK to have access and agency. But I think at some point he didn’t realize even in the position that he had, he was just all talk. He was just a talking head. He wasn’t actually doing anything but adding to the noise of the media circuit business. In the crisis that he goes through, how does his family help him to survive? I think he didn’t realize how much he needed them. When we meet him, he’s in a place of stasis. He’s been trying to write this book for years. So he decided to go to the Pocono mountains to try and start writing something. Then he goes on this journey. I think it’s a beautiful hero’s journey. He didn’t know he needed all these things. He didn’t know he needed a heart. He didn’t know he needed a brain...It is ‘no place like home.’ But he realized that his home was attached to other things like celebrity, clothing, and having access. But all of that became more superficial than he even imagined. Amanda Matlovich / Netflix Muncie was a housing activist in his youth, and he reconnects with his West Philly roots and the people in his life from that time. How does he change during the course of the series? I think it’s about helping him to bridge the two parts of himself. It’s one of the first arguments that my character has with the fantastic Eisa Davis, who plays Renee, while hosting a show on CNN. And it’s at the core of the problem. For me, it’s a question of, “What’s the best way?” He’s like, “I am Black and I don’t have to actually be out on the streets anymore. I have more access here on television where I can affect a lot of more people.” And so for me, it’s raising the question of, “Is that right or is that wrong? Or is there a balance of both?” How do race and systemic racism factor into the story of a Black man who gets blamed for the death of a white supremacist? How do you think that will be eye-opening for some viewers? Race plays into it a great deal. Muncie is someone who is probably very adept at code-switching [adjusting one’s style of speech, appearance, and expression to conform to a given community and reduce the potential for discrimination]. When you have celebrity and access, you live more in a bubble where you’re probably not perceived in certain ways. But when all of that goes away, once Muncie has to let go of his Range Rover, his Tom Ford suits, and his position at CNN, he’s perceived as just another ordinary Black man on the street. So even when he goes into that New York shop and changes into a T-shirt, baseball cap, and hoodie [to disguise himself], he’s trying to normalize. Before, he believed was a bit more elevated in some way. I love the question that [his estranged wife] Elena asked him: “What were you doing going over to this white man’s house out in the woods? You felt like you had the privilege to do that? You have to always be careful. You don’t know what’s on the other side. You’re a Black man in America.” He forgot for a moment. What does the title, The Madness , refer to? I think it’s about the madness that we’re all living in when it comes to the 24-hour news cycle and trying to download and sift through information. It’s maddening! And also, I think the madness is also internal, that internal struggle of like, “Who are you, and what do you believe in? Who is real, and who is not?” I think that’s the madness.

The NBA's five-game Christmas lineup was the league's most-watched in five years, with the games averaging about 5.25 million viewers per game across ABC, ESPN and its platforms, the league said Thursday based on Nielsen's preliminary numbers. It's an 84% rise over the NBA's Christmas numbers from 2023. The Los Angeles Lakers’ 115-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors — a game pitting Olympic teammates LeBron James and Stephen Curry — averaged 7.76 million viewers and peaked with about 8.32 million viewers toward the end of the contest, the league said. Those numbers represent the most-watched NBA regular season game in five years. “I love the NFL,” James said in his televised postgame interview Wednesday night. “But Christmas is our day.” The NBA said all five Christmas games on its schedule — San Antonio at New York in Victor Wembanyama's holiday debut, Minnesota at Dallas, Philadelphia at Boston, Denver at Phoenix and Lakers-Warriors — saw year-over-year viewership increases. Wednesday's numbers pushed NBA viewership for the season across ESPN platforms to up 4% over last season. The league also saw more than 500 million video views on its social media platforms Wednesday, a new record. For the NBA, those are all good signs amid cries that NBA viewership is hurting. “Ratings are down a bit at beginning of the season. But cable television viewership is down double digits so far this year versus last year," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said earlier this month. “You know, we’re almost at the inflection point where people are watching more programing on streaming than they are on traditional television. And it’s a reason why for our new television deals, which we enter into next year, every game is going to be available on a streaming service.” Part of that new package of television deals that the NBA is entering into next season also increases the number of regular season games broadcast on television from 15 to 75.

Mexican Congress Moves to Ban E-Cigarettes and Crackdown on FentanylThe COVID-19 pandemic disrupted schooling on a global scale, challenging teachers with a flood of unmanageable demands. These demands have persisted, resulting in an echo-pandemic of educator absences and attrition — educators leaving their jobs — that threatens the health of schools. We wrote about ways to support teachers during the pandemic based on our 2020 national survey of more than 1,300 Canadian teachers. Since then, we have followed more that 7,000 educators in their navigation and coping efforts during and after the pandemic. From these findings, we published more than 25 research articles , including 13 peer-reviewed articles, plus 12 articles for educators’ journals, reports to government and to the Canadian Mental Health Association, and one podcast. Since the pandemic, we’ve seen notable and important conversations about educators’ burnout and self-care in media and academic publications. An upside to this is increased awareness in the education sector around mental health needs and the importance of resources for both students and employees. A downside is these conversations reflect education systems that are out of balance in terms of resources and needs . In the United States, the National Center for Education Statistics reported a rise in teacher absenteeism after the pandemic . In Canada, research based on data collected from educators in Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador from September 2022 to August 2023 found “ a significant association between sick days and the prevalence and severity of high stress, low resilience, burnout, anxiety, and depression among educators .” This study, by psychiatry researcher Belinda Agyapong and colleagues, also noted “short-term sick leave can escalate into long-term absences without adequate support for teachers.” Rampant absenteeism has severe financial costs. In 2023, the cost of educator absences was $213 million in the Toronto District School Board alone . There are academic and social-emotional costs to students when their schooling is disrupted by educators’ frequent absences. Schools across Ontario face shortages of administrators, teachers, educational assistants and office staff on a daily basis. So, why is this happening? An important step in solving a problem is defining its nature. A framework called the job demands-resources model , developed by psychologists from the Netherlands, provides a useful lens for understanding why educators are missing so much time at work. It posits how personal and job characteristics foster employee well-being, suggesting workplaces can be understood as a teeter-totter with demands on one end and resources on the other. When employees have enough resources to meet demands, the system is in balance. Its workers function well, and the organization’s goals are more likely to be met. It is expected that resources in schools are supplied by employers, such as reasonable class sizes, adequate prep time and supports to meet complex student needs. It is important to note that resources are also supplied by employees, such as self-care practices and job skills. Educators, administrators in charge of available resources and provincial policymakers in charge of overall funding to education must work together to achieve and maintain the balance between demands and resources. So how have the demands experienced by educators changed since 2020? Our most recent research , a survey of 243 educators, showed 60 per cent of survey respondents have experienced large increases in students’ academic, social and behavioural needs. Survey data were collected in Manitoba during the first four months of 2024 at voluntary, school-based workshops provided by a national health organization. Alarmingly, over 30 per cent of respondents said they are rarely or never able to meet all these needs with their current resources. Within education systems across the country , the demands are of greater number and intensity than prior to the pandemic without adequate resources to keep up . Increased student needs are not being met within the current education system, and teachers’ workload and work-life balance are suffering . UNESCO’s predicted 2030 global teacher shortage of 44 million teachers provides an impetus to solve this issue quickly. Although there are calls for higher salaries for teachers in some countries, Canadian teachers are paid well and some have received recent salary increases . However, salary raises alone do not make a job sustainable. A lack of resources and supports to foster student success has resulted in significant dissatisfaction not only for teachers, but also for others across educator roles. In 2024, among the Manitoba educators we surveyed , 29 per cent of teachers, 25 per cent of principals, 33 per cent of clinicians and 20 per cent of educational assistants reported looking for new jobs in the past few months. The collective research indicates a system in crisis . So how can we remedy the situation to bring back not only the effectiveness of our educational settings but also the joy of schooling? Recognition of the current imbalance has resulted in some “bright lights” that show the way for other school systems to curb educator absences and attrition. Examples include: These initiatives suggest some governments and policymakers are aware of the imbalances and are working to address them. Importantly, attention to the needs of education sector employees beyond teachers like educational assistants, principals and clinicians (for example, psychologists) is necessary to re-establish balance. When educators are properly resourced to do their jobs and are allowed to see the results in positive learning and growth of their students, they will be more inclined to be at work. If, in time, the education system is adequately and proactively resourced to meet the demands, schools can become better places to work and learn. Reduced educator attrition and absences will be good indicators of a system regaining its balance. Laura Sokal has received funding from SSHRC and the Canadian Mental Health Association.
