Daniel Schmidt, who owns HobbyTown, 4107 Pioneer Woods Drive, said the toy and game store nearly doubled its sales on Black Friday from last year. He also reported shoppers had been buying gifts earlier. Dahlia Brandon of Lincoln tickles her 15-month-old daughter, Gema, with a stuffed animal while shopping at HobbyTown on Saturday. The toy and game store nearly doubled its sales on Black Friday from last year. “The reason folks are coming in and shopping at the volume that they're shopping at is that compressed shopping schedule,” Schmidt said. “There are less days, and it feels like there's less time to do things.” Ron Romero, owner Schafer's, also reported strong Black Friday sales at the appliance and electronics store, mirroring nationwide projections from the National Retail Federation . The group predicted a record 183.4 million people would shop in-person and online between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. People are also reading... Romero echoed Schmidt's sentiment on the pressure shoppers felt. “If anything, it's just going to increase the urgency to not procrastinate,” he added. A later Thanksgiving shortened what is typically considered the official shopping season. Last year, Thanksgiving was on Nov. 23, which left 31 days for shoppers to find that perfect gift. This year, shoppers had just 26 days beginning on Black Friday to buy gifts before Christmas. The National Retail Federation doesn't believe the shortened timeline will hurt retailers. Its consumer study predicts $902 will be spent on average per person on gifts, food, decorations and other seasonal items this winter. “Despite the shorter window of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, retailers are prepared to meet the needs of consumers by providing holiday shoppers with earlier deals and sales and by ensuring inventory is available for the most in-demand items this year," said Katherine Cullen, the group's vice president of industry and consumer insights, in a press release . Schmidt said he prepared for the holiday rush at his store by stocking up on products earlier than normal to avoid ongoing supply chain issues. “I can’t necessarily rely on taking a refill during the season,” he said. Shoppers, too, are feeling the crunch. Cindy Jacobson started her holiday shopping Saturday at HobbyTown, looking at "Gundam" figures for her nephew Shawn Phillips. Jacobson hopes planning ahead keeps her on track. “I'm not one to wait to the last minute, so we're getting a jump on it,” she said. Phillips urged Jacobson to purchase the anime figures from “Gundam” on Saturday instead of waiting since he was worried HobbyTown might sell out. “I'm trying to warn her, don't hold back if you see it,” he said. Emily Bals started her Christmas shopping on Black Friday because she was nervous about the fast-approaching holiday. She typically starts gift shopping at the end of the first week of December. “I'm a little nervous just because of the shopping piece, and it's just less time that we have to get to prepare for Christmas,” Bals said Saturday while shopping at Habitat, a kitchen and gift store in the Pioneer Woods shopping center. Bals said she’s more excited than nervous with the “crunch time” since the Christmas season won’t drag on as long. Jeff Hajny, a shopper at the SouthPointe Pavilions Barnes & Noble, agreed. Hajny said he likes having Thanksgiving and Christmas closer together. “Because after a while, you're super excited for it, and then you kind of burn out,” he said. Megan Hundt, another shopper at Barnes & Noble, said she feels the pressure but isn’t concerned she won’t get her gifts in time. “I'm a last-minute procrastinator shopper anyways, and things always end up getting done,” she said. A few shoppers the Journal Star spoke to said missing the five days didn’t change their shopping habits much this season, including Logan Koenig, who was shopping at Painted Tree Boutiques at SouthPointe on Saturday. “I usually wait till around Thanksgiving anyway, so plus or minus five days didn't really make a difference in my mind.” Top Journal Star photos for November 2024 Rachel Mulcahy of Lincoln unveils a roll of about 300 signatures supporting the group Justice in Action during a rally in front of the Hall of Justice on Thursday.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona lost at home for the first time this season when the Liga leader was stunned by Las Palmas 2-1 on Saturday. Sandro Ramirez and Fábio Silva scored for the Canary Islands club on either side of Raphinha’s equalizer to give Las Palmas its first win at Barcelona in more than 50 years. Barcelona played superbly in the first three months under new coach Hansi Flick and was flying high after convincing victories over Real Madrid in the domestic competition and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. It had won all eight of its home games. But it has gone three rounds of La Liga without a win. Before Las Palmas, it fell at Real Sociedad 1-0 and drew at Celta Vigo 2-2 after squandering a two-goal lead in the final minutes. The dropped points mean Madrid, despite its own troubles , especially in the Champions League, can move ahead of Barcelona in La Liga. It trails Barcelona by four points with two games in hand. “I don’t care about scoring, I care about winning,” Raphinha said after his standout performance was unable to end Barcelona's slump. “We have to take a hard look at what we are doing wrong. We have slipped in our form and are letting games get away form us. We have our next game on Tuesday (at Mallorca), and we need to turn this around so we can win the league.” Atletico Madrid was only two points behind Barcelona in second place — and with the same number of games played — after Antoine Griezmann scored a gem of a goal in a 5-0 demolition of last-placed Valladolid. Las Palmas savored its first victory at Barcelona since the 1971-72 season and just its third victory at the Catalan club overall. The other visits by the modest side that wears all yellow uniforms to Barcelona have ended in 34 defeats and three draws. “We are thrilled because we have made history,” Sandro said. “When you start the season you think that these games are usually going to end in wins for the bigger side, but if there is one thing we believe in is our capacity to work hard all week to get results like this.” Barcelona's Lamine Yamal returned from a right ankle injury that sidelined him for three weeks. Yamal appeared as a halftime substitute and Jasper Cillessen saved his best shot. The Las Palmas goalkeeper also palmed a Raphinha free kick over his bar in the final minutes. Sandro, a former Barcelona youth player, capped a fine five-pass buildup by Las Palmas from its own box as it masterfully undid Barcelona’s high pressure in the 49th minute. Raphinha had already hit the crossbar in the first half before he equalized in the 61st. The Brazil forward took a short pass from Pedri just outside the area, skirted across the edge and drilled a shot between two defenders. But Barcelona was caught pushing forward for a second goal when Silva controlled a ball from Javi Muñoz and sent in a shot bouncing past Iñaki Peña in the 67th. The unexpected loss dampened Barcelona’s celebration of its 125th anniversary, which included the debut of its new mascot “Cat,” a large, yellow feline wearing its team kit. Barcelona lost left back Alejandro Balde early in the game when he couldn’t continue after he crashed into Sandro at full speed. Balde appeared to hurt his upper chest or neck area when he ran into Sandro’s shoulder. He was carried off on a stretcher and replaced by Gerard Martín. Griezmann scored one of the goals of the season when the forward exchanged a quick one-two with Julián Alvarez and used a sleek touch of the inside of his boot to roll the ball with him as he spun before dinking it over the Valladolid goalkeeper. That was the visitor's fourth goal. Shortly after, Valladolid fans stood up and applauded when Griezmann was substituted. “That is what every players wants, to make people enjoy what we do. So I appreciate their warmth,” Griezmann said. Atletico also got goals from Alvarez, Clement Lenglet, Rodrigo de Paul, and Alexander Sorloth. Espanyol beat Celta 3-1 to end a streak of four losses in the league and relieve pressure on coach Manolo González. Alaves also drew with Leganes 1-1 at home.

The GHMC, in collaboration with National Institute of Technology (NIT)-Warangal, is proposing to establish a technology centre to address urban challenges such as traffic congestion and drainage management. The aim is to develop and deliver modern, practical, and sustainable solutions, incorporating them at the planning stage. The centre’s traffic and transportation division will conduct in-depth analyses of the city's traffic patterns and transportation systems. The drainage information centre will undertake a comprehensive study of Hyderabad's drainage network. During a meeting on Saturday, GHMC commissioner K. Ilambarithi emphasised the importance of collaborative efforts between GHMC and NIT-Warangal. Prof. C.S.R.K. Prasad from NIT Warangal suggested entering into a structured agreement to ensure sustained operations.The Gophers men’s basketball team overwhelmed Morgan State 90-68 on Sunday, but it was the final bullet point on how underwhelming Minnesota’s nonconference schedule has been this season. The Gophers (8-5) have a “strength of resume” ranked 156th in the nation, according to ESPN on Sunday. And Minnesota’s spot in the overall NET ranking (155) won’t improve come Monday, not with a win over a Morgan State team ranked nearly 200 spots lower at 353. Minnesota was a 22-point favorite and received a huge 22-point first half from Mike Mitchell to win easily in its final tune-up before Big Ten play resumes Thursday at home versus Purdue. Gophers head coach Ben Johnson in August expressed the difficulty to balance the competitiveness of the nonconference slate with who’s available to book and what’s best for this year’s team. “Sometimes the hardest thing for fans to grasp fully is so much of it is a numbers game,” Johnson said at the Minnesota State Fair. “It’s a give and take. You don’t know your team fully and you don’t know the other teams. Sometimes you can roll the dice and go with a team that, quote, might not have the name, but you know will be really good in their league, where if you play a Power Five team and they aren’t good in their league, the game means nothing. It’s great to have a name (opponent), but if they finish bottom four, the numbers go down.” Minnesota joined a multi-team, neutral-site event in Orlando around Thanksgiving but lost both games, to Wichita State and Wake Forest. They also lost to North Texas at The Barn earlier in November. Those three teams each have NET rankings in the Top 80. “There are a couple (of games) that we wish we had back,” Johnson said of the overall nonconference schedule. “Obviously Wichita State still stings. You feel like if you had a healthy Mike and play in the North Texas game. ... But when you have a new team, so much of it is hitting adversity and being able to figure it out.” While Morgan State (6-10) won’t help the U’s resume, the win should aid confidence before facing a Boilermakers team picked in preseason to win the Big Ten come March. Morgan State, which lost by 61 points to Xavier and by 27 to No. 3 Iowa State, played Sunday without leading scorers Winston Tabbs (16.1 points per game) and Amahrie Simpkins (12.7). Minnesota staked a 55-37 lead at the half on the back of Mitchell’s perfection. He made all eight jump shots, including six 3-pointers, for 22 points; that total bested his previous U high of 20 points against Ball State last season. Mitchell missed both of his two shots in the second half and sat during garbage time, falling one point short of his career-high while with Pepperdine in 2022. “I think it kind of built into that,” Mitchell said. “Teammates found me when I was open and the ball went in.” How did it feel once he finally missed? “Dang,” he said. The Gophers’ poorer start to this season came with Mitchell sidelined for seven games with a high ankle sprain — including all three defeats — and his return is vital as the U looks to dig out of an early 0-2 hole in conference play next week. Dawson Garcia added 18 points and eight rebounds, while Parker Fox chipped in 11 points as Minnesota used 11 players. Frank Mitchell returned Sunday after missing the Dec. 21 win over Farleigh Dickinson while in concussion protocol. He scored 10 points in 11 minutes on Sunday. “You want to come off (the holiday) break and have a little bit of momentum going into January,” Johnson said. “I think we did that.”COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State saved its best fight for last. Unfortunately for all that is Scarlet and Gray, when the Buckeyes finally started throwing punches -- or something close to them -- time had expired here Saturday afternoon. On the game. Perhaps on the season. The resulting postgame melee between Ohio State and Michigan laid bare the worst parts of one of the game's best rivalries. Several skirmishes broke out on the field among players following Michigan's 13-10 win after some Wolverines players attempted to plant two of the team's flags at midfield. In what was their strongest display of male testosterone of the day, Ohio State finally defended their field -- as the stands were emptying out, as the boos were raining down. As a fourth straight loss to the Team Up North began to sink in. And fester. "We're going to win in your house, and we're going to plant the flag," Michigan quarterback Davis Warren said afterward. "You should have done something about it." All of it came after four years of planning for this moment, when all things Harbaugh, Stalions and Go Blue were going to be backhanded into the Olentangy River in one big payback that was going to make all right with the Ohio State universe again. The line opened with Ohio State favored by 23.5 points , the biggest in the history of the series. Ohio State fielded the best roster money could buy, $20 million of it, for this purpose. To pound Michigan. And then the Buckeyes did what they absolutely couldn't, shouldn't do. They came out flat. That's the best way to explain how a team whose only blemish this season was a one-point loss to Oregon could stink this much. All it was going to take for a Big Ten Championship Game rematch with the Ducks was a comfortable win over the Wolverines. Saturday was supposed to be a pit stop for Ohio State on its way to Indy. Instead, Buckeye Nation needed a barf bag. Instead, Ohio State didn't score in the second half. Not only that, it didn't have so much as a first down in the game's final 20 minutes. A Michigan team that couldn't pass (128th nationally) didn't really have to. The Wolverines rammed it up the gut 11 straight running plays for the game-winning field goal with 45 seconds left. The score was reminiscent of those epic slugfests in the Ten-Year War: Bo and Woody. Except this one could have, at times, been fought with those foam noodles you hit each other with in the pool. Each quarterback threw a pair of interceptions. You can understand Michigan's play-calling being conservative. It didn't have the firepower to begin with. But Ohio State looked like it was trying to run out the clock from the beginning. There were too many runs into the middle of the line. Next to no imagination. The boos from 106,000 fans began cascading down in the second half. That from an adoring crowd following the nation's No. 2-ranked team. Yeah, that's how much the Buckeyes stunk. "They tried to look at us [before the game]," said Michigan defensive back Makari Paige , who had one of those interceptions. "They tried to stare us down. We knew in our head they really didn't want to come out here and play us." Adding obscurity to insult, the nation's No. 2 team was beaten by a transfer kicker from Troy ( Dominic Zvada ) and Warren, a former walk-on. Zvada is actually one of the nation's better kickers, a two-time Lou Groza Award finalist. It's just that the Buckeyes didn't figure he'd figure in the outcome. Zvada's 54-yarder in the first half made him 7-for-7 from 50-plus this season. And while all this Ohio State angst is going around, Ryan Day may want to check his back too. "As you know," the coach told reporters, "this is not easy to accept." Ohio State quarterback Will Howard -- he of the two crippling interceptions -- was asked where on the list of takeaways was the fact the Buckeyes, 10-2, are still likely in the College Football Playoff. "Very low," he said. There was some ugly history here. In 2017, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield took a victory lap with the team flag and attempted to plant it at midfield following a big OU win here. He later apologized. Ohio State players were seconds into singing the school song "Carmen Ohio" Saturday when they noticed the Michigan flags waving near midfield. "They've got their f****** flag," Ohio State linebacker Jack Sawyer said. Seconds later, Michigan fullback Max Bredeson got pepper-sprayed directly in the face by a police officer. "I'm all right. I'm right," Bredeson said with tears running down his face from the pepper spray. "I'll kill you for real," one unidentified Michigan player shouted at an opponent. "I've never lost [to Ohio State]," defensive lineman Mason Graham yelled to taunting fans as he ran up a ramp to the visitors' locker room. Full Postgame Video from Columbus 〽️ #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/YE9vSPDmAH Four in a row adds to the depths of Day's situation. He is now 1-4 against Michigan and looked a bit shell-shocked afterward. "I have to take the ownership," Day said. The reaction will be a lot more profound than just ownership in the coming days. For the fourth year in a row, a team other than Ohio State is going to win the Big Ten. "We're going to regroup and go into the playoffs and make a run," Howard said, almost trying to convince himself. So at least there was that. Ohio State lost to a team that was about to become the first defending national champion to lose at least six games the following year since 1943. That might still happen in Michigan's bowl game, but the sweet memories of Saturday will prevail. The violent aftermath was reminiscent of the 2002 Michigan-Ohio State game here, when police pepper-sprayed fans who were trying to tear down goalposts following that year's win that clinched a spot in the BCS Championship Gam, which Ohio State won. And it's never a good sign when a statement from Ohio State Police trumps postgame comments by players and coaches. Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games & will continue to investigate. "Obviously, some things happened, and we're still trying to sort through and figure out what happened," Eric Whiteside, Ohio State Police Department deputy chief, told CBS Sports. In keeping with the spirit of things, the game ended with a Michigan player being flagged for "simulating shooting a gun" while celebrating the win. Things devolved from there, at least for Ohio State. MORE: Ohio State still in great College Football Playoff position

By Justin Ebert, PA-C Cards to send, gifts to give, meals to prepare for family and friends — tasks like these often dominate our thoughts this time of year. As the winter holiday season approaches, many of us start to wonder (often with some dread) whether we can take good care of ourselves while enjoying all that comes with this time of year. I understand how challenging this season can be. Many factors conspire against us: colder weather, shorter days, and more time indoors. Our meals shift toward hearty and indulgent comfort foods. At my house, it’s not just the holidays, it’s also football season — and what goes better with football than chips, dips, and drinks? Whether it’s game-day snacks, Thanksgiving pies, potlucks at work, or holiday cookie swaps, food is everywhere this time of year, and resisting temptation is hard. Winter and the holidays also bring increased stress. Between financial strain, holiday tension, and even seasonal depression, many people turn to food or alcohol to cope. Despite the challenges, small positive changes make it possible to have a healthy, active, and fun-filled holiday season. Moderation is key to maintaining a healthy weight and feeling good. Consider branching out from old habits when it comes to food. Maybe that means bringing hummus and veggies as an appetizer, or offering roasted veggies instead of the sweet potato casserole no one seems to love (yet no one can resist). Having an open conversation with family members about expectations can help. Many of us face the same challenges and want to support each other. Portion control also makes a difference. Consider setting out smaller dishes and glassware — people tend to fill their plate regardless of how hungry they are. Perhaps your group size has changed and you can serve Cornish game hen instead of a turkey, or offer one starchy side dish instead of four. I don’t mean to imply we should avoid our favorite things. The truth is, when we skip the parts we don’t love as much, we tend to appreciate the best things even more. Look for fun, social ways to stay active. Physical activity can counteract excess calorie intake, help you feel better, and alleviate stress. Maybe you kick around a soccer ball during halftime of the football game, or start a new tradition by participating in a community fun run. If you traditionally drive around looking at Christmas lights while eating cookies, switch to sipping hot beverages while walking through a well-decorated neighborhood. Many of us feel the pressure to go all out for the holidays. Taking stock of how the to-dos make you feel can be enlightening. Give yourself permission to scale back, skipping the parts that feel like chores and focusing on what brings you joy. It’s common to feel depressed and anxious at this time of year. The holiday season can remind us of loved ones who have passed away or milestones we thought we would have reached by now. You are not alone. Talk with a friend or family member, or reach out to your healthcare provider or a mental health professional for support. Giving back often gives us an emotional boost. Maybe this year you collect gifts for a family in need, or look for an organization where you and your extended friends can volunteer together. Acts like these remind us of how we contribute to our communities. We’re all familiar with the saying, “The diet starts Monday.” This time of year, it’s easy to replace “Monday” with “January 1st.” But letting go of our mental and physical health is not inevitable. A healthier season doesn’t mean eating and exercising perfectly; it’s about consistently making small healthy choices. When we do better, we feel better. Setting realistic goals helps. You are more likely to be successful if you plan a 15-minute daily walk than if you aim for running five miles a day. The children in our lives learn from us and imitate our behavior. If they see us enjoying time with others, giving generously, and enjoying our favorite treats in moderation, they are more likely to do the same. There’s a common understanding of the downward spiral — that slippery slope where one unwise decision leads to others. But there’s an upward spiral, too: one positive change can inspire another. Small habits build on one another. Start with achievable goals, don’t be hard on yourself when you fall short, and think of ways you can celebrate the holidays with your community while you take good care of yourself.
