“Cameron Green is a no” – Legendary spinner makes huge claim ahead of IPL 2026 auction

Posted on by
Reply

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has made a significant claim regarding Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) strategy for the IPL 2026 auction. The legendary spinner stated that CSK will not target Australian all-rounder Cameron Green in the upcoming auction. Ashwin elaborated on why Green does not fit into the team’s plans, emphasizing the team’s existing lineup and player roles.

Ashwin, however, suggested that CSK might want to push Green’s price higher in the auction. The Chennai-based franchise could deliberately stretch Green’s price to benefit their team strategy. Instead, Ashwin believes CSK will focus on securing seasoned all-rounder Andre Russell, who was released by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ahead of the mini-auction.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said:

“CSK have two slots to fill — a spinner and a finisher. In this particular setup, Cameron Green is a no. There is a lot of talk that CSK should go for Green and bring him in. Firstly, CSK will not get Cameron Green, and secondly, in this line-up, he will not sit well. He is not a finisher. He will have to play after Mhatre, Ruturaj, Brevis, Dube, and maybe even Dhoni.

The ideal batter to come and finish the innings is Andre Russell. I have seen the CSK analyst put up Dre Russ, so I think they will go for him.”

Ashwin also warned that CSK might have to “break the bank” if they want either of the two all-rounders. He expressed optimism that the Super Kings might try to rebuy Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana, while suggesting that pursuing another experienced all-rounder like Glenn Maxwell could be off the table.

He added:

“CSK don’t need Green as desperately as KKR need. But CSK also have the responsibility of pushing Green’s price. If CSK don’t stretch KKR to over ₹20 crore for Green, then they will again come back for Russell. Then CSK will not get both of them. CSK have to break their bank on one player.

It will be nice if they try to get Pathirana back. If they had let go of Overton, they could have pushed for Maxwell.”

### CSK’s Auction Purse and Player Retention

With ₹43.40 crore remaining, CSK hold the second-highest purse ahead of the IPL 2026 auction, only behind KKR, who have ₹64.30 crore in their bank.

**CSK retained players list:**
– Ruturaj Gaikwad (c)
– Ayush Mhatre
– Dewald Brevis
– MS Dhoni
– Urvil Patel
– Shivam Dube
– Jamie Overton
– Ramakrishna Ghosh
– Noor Ahmad
– Khaleel Ahmed
– Anshul Kamboj
– Gurjapneet Singh
– Nathan Ellis
– Shreyas Gopal
– Mukesh Choudhary

### “Dhoni Could Just Play as an Impact Player” – Ashwin’s Prediction Ahead of IPL 2026 Auction

Ravichandran Ashwin also speculated on MS Dhoni’s role for the upcoming IPL season. He believes that Dhoni might take on the role of an impact player, especially since Sanju Samson is available to fulfill wicketkeeping duties.

Ashwin urged the 44-year-old veteran to continue batting, as CSK currently lacks enough finishers, though the final composition depends on the auction buys.

He explained:

“If MS Dhoni does not want to play, this release list would have indicated that. The fact that Jadeja is gone, and they already don’t have power finishers, it tells us that MS Dhoni will continue.

Also, because Sanju can keep wickets, it is a very good possibility that Dhoni could just play as an impact player. Only he can tell whether there is enough petrol left in his tank, but the fact that the release list does not have his name is as good as a confirmation that he will play the season.”

I Had Such a Good Time at My Wedding. Then I Started Tallying the Gifts.

### Dear Pay Dirt,

We just had a big wedding and our baby’s first birthday celebration. It was great to do a big party with friends. I’m struggling, though, because I’m surprised at how little our guests gave, and I’m feeling guilty about that.

Generally, I’ve always heard you give $100 to $125 per person, particularly if you’re drinking and eating (we had an open bar). However, many people we consider good friends gave much less. A few didn’t give at all.

Getting about $100 each would’ve covered the cost of each person at the wedding. Of course, if they didn’t have the money, we’d understand, but many of them are very financially comfortable.

I know it’s in the past now. But how do I not let this frustration and sadness color my friendships with these people? I know it’s not the point of the party, but it’s also hard not to feel like the celebration we threw was a bit underappreciated.

### Dear Blue About the Wedding,

I am not a wedding planner, but this is the first I’ve heard of anyone being obligated to pay to attend a wedding, much less pay an amount equivalent to a meal at a three-star Michelin restaurant.

The point of a wedding is that your loved ones can celebrate with you, not that they can subsidize a very expensive party you want to throw for yourself and, in your own words, feel “appreciative” of it.

It’s not uncommon for people to give wedding presents (though that is not required either, to be clear). But even then, your price range — $300 per couple at the high end — seems extremely high to me. And I live in New York City, where everything is more expensive than virtually everywhere else in the country.

I also got married here, in a lovely venue, and had a sit-down dinner and open bar, which, as you note, is not cheap. But it never occurred to me for one second that my friends should be paying for it.

So, consider the possibility that your friends did their part, which is to show up to the wedding—at your convenience and not theirs—and celebrate your marriage with you. They already likely had to take time out of their schedules, in some cases travel and/or arrange and pay for child care, and I’m sure many of them did give you gifts.

I’m afraid the only person here who’s being unappreciative in an inappropriate way is you.

Weddings can be very expensive, but that is a choice. They don’t have to be. I know plenty of people who had small ceremonies in their backyards, with potluck dinners and flowers plucked from the local deli stand. They were just as meaningful as the fancier weddings I’ve attended at glamorous locations that were epic, multi-day affairs.

It doesn’t matter which option you choose, but it’s your responsibility to pay for your party, and no one else’s.

### Dear Pay Dirt,

My current job compensation includes a base salary, a very small percentage of the business I bring in, and profit-sharing. The idea is that as the company grows, profits increase and my piece of the pie gets bigger. So, along with several of my coworkers, I’m a part-owner.

The people directly benefiting from this model are my bosses, who each bring home about 10 times per month what I do in profits. If I get $2,000, they’re bringing home $20,000.

But one of my clients is actively headhunting me. I know passive income is an important part of building wealth and am reluctant to leave profit-sharing behind for only a salary.

The comp at both jobs would be similar and my career path would likely be very different if I made this move. It’s an emerging industry that’s not going anywhere — think renewable energy versus what I do now (general consulting). I know my compensation will steadily increase over the years where I am, and there’s a ton of flexibility.

A new job brings new, different, and interesting opportunities. I am torn. What are the things I should consider when switching jobs?

### Dear Working For the Man,

I think you’ve thought a lot about this and it’s hard to make a decision because, in the end, you have two paths to take. Each path is different and could revolve around a substantial payout.

At this time in your life, I’m wondering what you value more. I love the idea of flexibility — for personal reasons — but I’m also a firm believer that everyone should be able to have it. Life can change in the blink of an eye and you may need to alter your work schedule to fit a situation that came up.

I’m worried, however, that your stake in the company may not be enough for you to eventually bring home the profit you crave or deserve. I think it’s unfair that you’re getting $2,000 and your bosses are pocketing $20,000. As you said, in the long run staying in this position may line your bosses’ pockets more than it does yours.

Challenging yourself on a new career path could also open new avenues and ways to grow. Growth in your career is very important because your experience is what you’ll need to negotiate your salary in the future.

You can always have a talk with your boss about your current compensation and what they can do to meet you in the middle. If you’re bringing a lot of money in, they aren’t going to want to let you go. If they come back empty-handed, it’s time to jump ship.

### More Money Advice From Slate

My husband and I have been together for 23 years. We met at a startup and he found a clever way to start the business he still runs today. Not long after, I joined the company where we worked together for almost 15 years.

The problem is, outside a handful of good years, the business is a zombie. It produces a very modest income and despite general plans for a future payout, there is no measurable progress. I am fed up and exhausted from being the breadwinner.

Mamdani Will Ravage the Entire State

Posted on by

**Zohran Mamdani’s Win Should Send Tremors Far Beyond New York City**
*By Betsy McCaughey*

Zohran Mamdani’s victory Tuesday should send shockwaves far beyond New York City. A Mamdani win will likely ignite wholesale legislative attacks on property owners, charter schools, law enforcement, and businesses across the entire state of New York. From Buffalo to Amagansett, no sector will be spared.

In New York, the critical decisions about criminal law, education, rent laws, and taxation are made at the state level—not locally. Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) will be calling the shots not only at City Hall but also in Albany. New Yorkers, brace yourselves for radical laws and huge tax hikes.

Mamdani, currently a member of the New York State Assembly from Queens until he is sworn in as mayor, already secured endorsements from the state’s top legislative leaders and sizable blocs within both the Assembly and Senate—27 Assembly members and 16 state senators—before his victory. His triumph elevates him to national prominence and positions him as the de facto head of the Democratic Party in New York State, wielding far more influence than Governor Kathy Hochul.

With Hochul’s approval ratings at a historic low, she is now desperately seeking Mamdani’s favor to curry goodwill with the Left. Mamdani’s clout at the Capitol means moderate Democrats are likely to fall in line “to enact a lot of his wish list,” reports Democratic Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz from Long Island. Blumencranz calls it “a perfect storm” set to impact the entire state.

### A Radical Criminal Justice Agenda

At the top of the DSA’s list—and Mamdani’s agenda—is aggressive decarceration that would put criminals back on the streets. Pro-criminal DSA legislators led efforts to pass the “Less is More” Act in 2021, a law that allows violent criminals who violate parole (for example, by using drugs) to remain free.

This law partly explains why Jamel McGriff, who was allegedly violating parole, was able to invade the home of an elderly Queens couple last September, torture them to death, and set their house on fire with them inside.

DSA legislators are also pushing bills to decriminalize prostitution under the state Senate bill titled “Cecilia’s Act for Rights in the Sex Trade” and to eliminate all criminal and civil penalties for possession of illegal drugs.

Mamdani ally and state Sen. Zellnor Myrie backs a bill, already passed in the Assembly, to extend youthful offender status to alleged criminals ages 19 to 25. This would spare them from a criminal conviction and seal their arrest record, magnifying the mistake made by the 2019 “Raise the Age” legislation—which shifted the criminal responsibility age from 16 to 18.

New York City Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch warns that “Raise the Age” has led to a quadrupling of homicides committed by juveniles and an 81% increase in juveniles being shot. Violent teens under 18 who commit heinous crimes receive merely a slap on the wrist in family court, and they soon return to offend again.

Mamdani’s allies in Albany are poised to worsen this situation by letting violent criminals in their 20s off the hook. It’s a dangerous and reckless approach.

### Hostility Toward Charter Schools

Mamdani and the DSA are fierce opponents of charter schools. They would rather see thousands of low-income and minority students languish in district schools assigned by geography—schools many consider “failure factories.”

Decisions about increasing charter schools are controlled in Albany by the State University of New York (SUNY) trustees, who generally support charters, and the SUNY Board of Regents, appointed by the legislature and heavily influenced by teachers unions aligned with the Democratic Party.

State Senate Bill 6800, sponsored by Mamdani ally Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn of Brooklyn, would strip SUNY trustees of their charter powers, effectively leaving charter schools vulnerable to the hostile Board of Regents. The biggest losers in this battle will be the students.

### Targeting Property Owners and Renters

Property owners are squarely in the DSA’s crosshairs. The party aims to expand rent regulation—which many argue has caused severe housing shortages and dilapidated properties in New York City—to the entire state through state Senate Bill 4659. Furthermore, they seek to extend rent regulations to commercial properties such as stores via Senate Bill 8319.

### Ambitious Tax Hikes and Costly Freebies

As a candidate, Mamdani promised free bus rides, free child care, and other costly benefits—expenses he wants the entire state to fund. His campaign proposed hiking the state’s corporate tax rate by almost half, to 11.5%.

Mamdani ally state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal has already introduced a bill to increase corporate taxes, though by a somewhat lesser amount.

However, corporate taxes ultimately affect employees and customers—not just business owners—and tend to stifle economic growth. New York State already ranks dead last (50th out of 50) in economic outlook, largely due to its notoriously high tax burden.

How much worse can it get? Mamdani’s appetite for money as mayor threatens to drain the state’s resources further.

### Call to Action: Mobilize Now

Now is the time to mobilize a statewide counteroffensive to prevent a socialist takeover of state government. Do not wait for next year’s statewide elections.

Leaders in the nonprofit sector, including the Business Council, the Chamber of Commerce of Greater New York, and the New York State Bar Association, need to flood the state legislature with warnings and provide reinforcements to the vastly outnumbered Republicans and beleaguered moderate Democrats.

Mamdani may have won in New York City, but the real battle is moving to Albany.

BBC director-general and UK news chief both resign over Trump speech editing scandal

Posted on by

**BBC Director-General Tim Davie Resigns Amid Controversy Over Edited Trump Speech**

The BBC director-general, Tim Davie, resigned on Sunday following criticism over the broadcaster’s editing of a speech by former President Donald Trump, which many said was misleading.

Davie, 58, who has been at the helm of the BBC since September 2020, stepped down after five years leading the corporation. His departure comes amid growing controversy surrounding a BBC Panorama documentary about Trump’s January 6, 2021 speech, delivered shortly before the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Critics argued that the documentary’s edit was misleading because it omitted a key section of Trump’s speech where he urged supporters to protest peacefully.

The speech at the center of the dispute featured Trump saying, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” However, the version aired by the BBC reportedly excluded this line, while retaining the phrase “fight like hell.”

In a letter to staff, Davie stated that his resignation “is entirely my decision.” He acknowledged that “overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director-general I have to take ultimate responsibility.”

Davie added that he is “working through exact timings with the board to allow for an orderly transition to a successor over the coming months.”

The resignation of Davie follows that of Deborah Turness, head of BBC News and Current Affairs, who also stepped down amid the controversy. Turness said the situation “has reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC, an institution that I love,” adding, “As the CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, the buck stops with me.”

Pressure on the BBC intensified after excerpts from a whistle-blower dossier were published by The Telegraph. The dossier, compiled by Michael Prescott, a communications advisor hired by the BBC to review its editorial standards, criticized various aspects of the broadcaster’s coverage. Specific concerns included the Trump edit, reporting on transgender issues, and alleged anti-Israel bias in the BBC’s Arabic service.

In response to the allegations of bias, Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the BBC as “100% fake news” and a “propaganda machine” in an interview.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Leavitt said: “This purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100% fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.”

Aurora middle school teacher charged with sexual assault of former student, officials say

WHEATON, Ill. (WLS) — A middle school teacher in Aurora has been charged with the sexual assault of a former student, DuPage County officials announced.

Jessica Bergmann, 34, a resident of Wheaton and a teacher at Washington Middle School in Aurora, was arrested Friday. According to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, Bergmann is accused of having a sexual relationship with a former middle school student during the student’s sophomore year in high school.

Bergmann faces multiple charges, including one count of Criminal Sexual Assault Position of Authority (Class 1 Felony), one count of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse Position of Authority (Class 1 Felony), and one count of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse (Class 2 Felony).

In a statement, DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin condemned the alleged actions, saying, “The profound abuse of trust and authority allegedly displayed by Ms. Bergmann is extremely disturbing and will be met with the full force of the law. Teachers are entrusted with our students’ wellbeing. They are given the awesome responsibility to guide and protect our students, not to harm or exploit them. A teacher who takes advantage of a student, as alleged in this case, is not only breaking the law, but they are also breaking the trust placed in them by the community, the school, and the victim’s family.”

Bergmann is scheduled to appear in court on December 1.

Truluck’s Celebrates Stone Crab Season with an Unforgettable Seafood Experience in Dallas

Posted on by

Stone Crab Season Returns at Truluck’s Ocean’s Finest Seafood and Crab in Dallas

Stone Crab season has officially returned at Truluck’s Ocean’s Finest Seafood and Crab, giving Dallas diners a delicious reason to celebrate. Starting October 20, seafood enthusiasts can indulge in one of the most coveted delicacies of the season: fresh Florida Stone Crab.

Known for their sweet, tender meat and delicate, buttery texture, these claws are a hallmark of Truluck’s menu. They reflect decades of commitment to freshness, sustainability, and culinary excellence.

### A Signature Stone Crab Experience

At Truluck’s, Florida Stone Crab is served fully cooked, chilled, and pre-cracked, accompanied by the restaurant’s iconic mustard sauce. This tangy, slightly spicy sauce perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the crab, enhancing each bite with a bold yet balanced flavor.

Part of the magic of enjoying Stone Crab at Truluck’s lies in the interactive ritual: cracking open the claw, dipping it into mustard sauce, and savoring every morsel. This indulgent and intimate experience is perfect for celebrating special occasions or elevating an everyday meal.

### Understanding Stone Crab Sizes and Sustainable Fishing

Truluck’s offers a variety of Stone Crab claw sizes to cater to different preferences. Small claws provide delicate, sweet meat with a lighter texture, while medium claws strike a satisfying balance of tenderness and richness. Large and extra-large claws are meatier with a robust, buttery flavor, making them favorites among seasoned seafood aficionados. Each size offers a unique eating experience, allowing diners to tailor their meal to their taste.

Equally important is Truluck’s dedication to sustainable fishing practices. Florida Stone Crabs are harvested with care to ensure the species thrives for generations. Skilled crabbers use humanely designed wooden traps, removing only one claw from each crab before carefully returning the crab to the ocean where it can regenerate over time. This method lets diners enjoy the flavorful claws without harming the crab, blending indulgence with ecological responsibility.

For more than 30 years, Truluck’s has partnered closely with dedicated crabbers to deliver the freshest Stone Crab possible—trap to table with every visit.

### More Culinary Delights on the Menu

While Stone Crab is the showstopper, Truluck’s menu offers a range of other exceptional dishes. The lobster bisque, a rich and creamy starter, perfectly balances deep lobster flavor with subtle notes of sherry and spices. Each spoonful features tender lobster chunks, creating a luxurious, velvety experience that sets the tone for the meal.

Another standout is the sea bass, boasting a flaky, buttery interior and a lightly crisped exterior. Its delicate flavor pairs harmoniously with seasonal accompaniments—a medley of fresh vegetables and a delicate sauce—offering a refined taste and texture experience.

Meanwhile, the Ora King Salmon from New Zealand delivers decadence with every bite.

Beyond seafood, Truluck’s serves hand-cut USDA prime steaks, aged a minimum of 30 days to develop rich flavor and exceptional tenderness. The menu also features TRU PEARLE oysters—hand-selected East Coast oysters raised with precision and care—and the ever-popular Prime King Crab, offering thick, succulent legs prepared with the same premium consistency that has made it a fan favorite for decades.

### An Unforgettable Dining Experience

Truluck’s is dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences. From the ritual of cracking Stone Crab claws and dipping them into mustard sauce to enjoying expertly prepared fish, lobster, and steaks, every detail is designed to delight the senses.

With seasonal offerings, meticulous preparation, and a commitment to sustainable sourcing, each visit to Truluck’s is more than just a meal—it’s a culinary journey.

Whether you’re indulging in the sweet, succulent Stone Crab, savoring the luxurious lobster bisque, enjoying the buttery Ora King Salmon, or delighting in the perfectly seared sea bass, Truluck’s delivers a dining experience that masterfully blends flavor, craftsmanship, and conscientious sourcing.

For Dallas diners, there’s no better way to celebrate Stone Crab season—or any special occasion—than at Truluck’s Ocean’s Finest Seafood and Crab.

REVEALED: Khushi Kapoor-Karishma Tanna starrer Mom 2 goes on floors; directed by Girish Kohli of Crazxy fame

Posted on by
Reply

Earlier this year, in March 2025, at the 25th IIFA Awards held in Jaipur, producer Boney Kapoor confirmed that he is making a film with Khushi Kapoor. He revealed that the project could be a sequel to *Mom* (2017), which starred his late wife and Khushi’s mother, the legendary Sridevi.

It has now come to light that the film is indeed titled *Mom 2*. Yesterday, pictures from the sets surfaced on the internet, sparking excitement among fans. Bollywood Hungama has since learned some interesting details about the film’s progress.

**REVEALED: Khushi Kapoor-Karishma Tanna starrer *Mom 2* goes on floors; directed by Girish Kohli of *Crazxy* fame**

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “*Mom 2* went on floors just after Diwali, on October 26, in Mumbai. Nearly 10 to 11 days of shooting have been completed and the film is progressing well. Khushi Kapoor plays a crucial role, and she’s joined by Karishma Tanna.”

The source further added, “*Mom* was directed by Ravi Udyawar. However, the sequel is directed by Girish Kohli. Girish was one of the story writers for the first film and also solely wrote its screenplay and dialogues. Producer Boney Kapoor felt that Girish was the best fit to do justice to *Mom 2* as he understands the series deeply, so he entrusted him with the directorial responsibilities. Girish has also proved his mettle with the Sohum Shah-starrer *Crazxy*, which released earlier this year.”

There is also buzz that Boney Kapoor plans to announce the film in a grand manner on his birthday, November 11. The source revealed, “A clearer idea about the announcement will emerge in a few days.”

At the 25th IIFA Awards, Boney Kapoor had expressed his admiration for Khushi’s work, saying, “I have watched all of Khushi’s films — *The Archies*, *Loveyapa*, and *Nadaniyaan*. I am planning a film with her too, after *No Entry 2*. It could be *Mom 2*. She is trying to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Her mother was the top star in all the languages she worked in. I hope Khushi and Janhvi succeed with the same level of perfection.”

Meanwhile, fans are eagerly hoping that Boney Kapoor’s other much-anticipated project, *No Entry 2*, the sequel to the 2005 blockbuster *No Entry*, also goes on floors soon.

Columbia Sportswear Had A Flat Quarter, But Underlying Trends Are Not That Good

**Columbia Sportswear Had a Flat Quarter, But Underlying Trends Are Not That Good**
*Nov. 02, 2025 | 8:14 AM ET*

Columbia Sportswear Company (COLM) delivered slightly better-than-expected Q3 results, but underlying trends remain challenged, especially in the U.S. and direct-to-consumer channels. While the top-line performance was supported by earlier wholesale shipments, the company faced pressure on the bottom line due to impairments.

COLM continues to face margin pressure from tariffs and rising selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A). Operating margins for the full fiscal year 2025 are expected to decline, with further headwinds anticipated in fiscal year 2026.

On the positive side, product and marketing innovation—including new campaigns and higher-priced items—offer some promising opportunities. However, the overall impact of these initiatives remains uncertain at this stage.

With a valuation at approximately 15 times earnings and a flat growth outlook, COLM appears more attractive than it did a year ago. Nevertheless, a cautious **Hold** rating is warranted given the challenges ahead.
