Cesc Fabregas says he believes in ‘long-term' Como project amid links to Inter
A first season in senior management for the 38-year-old ended with his reputation as a head coach significantly raised, reportedly catching the eye of Inter who are without a manager after Simone Inzaghi departed this week in the aftermath of Saturday's 5-0 Champions League final loss to Paris St Germain. Cesc Fabregas played for Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League (John Walton/PA) 'I really believe in the Como project,' Fabregas said at the SXSW event taking place in London, as reported by La Gazzetta della Sport. 'I started with this club because I was thinking about a long-term project. I don't want to finish my career at a club where there's a project for one or two years and then everything ends.' Fabregas, who is a minority shareholder of the club, joined Como as a player in 2022 and played out the final year of his career with the club in Serie B. After retiring the following summer, he joined the coaching staff, briefly taking charge of the first team as caretaker after boss Moreno Longo was sacked. Welsh coach Osian Roberts took charge for the remainder of the promotion-winning season while Fabregas completed his UEFA coaching qualifications, with the World Cup and Champions League-winner taking over last summer. 'I really believe in Como's long-term project,' he said. 'I arrived here as a player and I'm very, very happy because I get to work in the way that I want. We have the same goals and the same ambition. 'The President allows me to work the way I want, the way I see things. Fortunately, we share the same vision and have the same goal, which is to go as far as possible. 'We've become a really good team together, in a small town, in a small club but with big, very big ambitions for the future.' Inter meanwhile have signed Croatia international Petar Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb. The midfielder, who has seven international caps, played last season on loan at Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar.

Federal election: Newfoundland riding flips to Conservatives after judicial recount
ST. JOHN'S - A federal election riding in rural Newfoundland flipped to the Conservatives on Friday, netting the party another seat in the House of Commons. After a recount process that took nearly two weeks, Elections Canada announced that Conservative Jonathan Rowe had defeated Liberal Anthony Germain in the Terra Nova—The Peninsulas riding by just 12 votes. The result reverses the first tally of the ballots after the April 28 election, which had Germain ahead by 12 votes. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Rowe's win gives the Conservatives 144 seats in the House of Commons, and brings the Liberals down to 169, which is three seats shy of the threshold for a majority government. The Bloc Quebecois has 22, the NDP has seven and the Green Party has one. In a video posted to Facebook shortly after Friday's results were announced, Rowe thanked his supporters and campaign team. He also thanked Germain for a 'clean race.' 'We couldn't have tried to have a closer race,' Rowe said. 'And to all the people out there who voted Liberal, I see you, and I will serve you and every member of this riding to the best of my ability.' His win underscores a surge in support for the Conservatives across the province, where the party held just one seat heading into the vote last month. The opposition party now holds three of the seven federal seats in Newfoundland and Labrador. The recount in Newfoundland began May 12 in Marystown, N.L., a town of roughly 5,200 people about 185 kilometres southwest of the provincial capital of St. John's. It was one of four called after the election last month, and it was the last to produce a decision. Elections Canada officials have said the recount resulted in roughly 1,000 disputed ballots, all of which had to be debated by lawyers and carefully considered by provincial Supreme Court Justice Garrett Handrigan, who oversaw the review. The results Friday showed 819 ballots were ultimately rejected. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Rowe is an engineer with experience in oil and gas and mining. This is his first time serving as a federal politician. Terra Nova-The Peninsulas covers a vast region of eastern Newfoundland, stretching from the Bonavista Peninsula and surrounding area on the island's northeast coast to the tip of the Burin Peninsula along the southern coast. It includes fishing communities, tourism destinations and small towns where many people work in the oil industry, whether at home in the province or away in Alberta. The riding is home to more than 76,000 people, 41,670 of whom cast a vote in the April 28 election. Officials have said every single ballot was recounted.

Why are we miserable in Miami? We pay high rent and our homes can be hot
Real Estate News Why are we miserable in Miami? We pay high rent and our homes can be hot Miami residents struggle as rising rents make it the most cost-burdened metro area in the U.S., with many people spending half their income on housing. New laws and strict mortgage requirements, like Fannie Mae's growing condo blacklist, have made it harder to buy, sell, or repair homes, leaving both renters and owners with few good options. Extreme heat only adds to the hardship, with some families unable to afford to run or fix their air conditioning even as temperatures inside their homes exceed those outdoors. Families often cut food, medicine, or car repairs just to cover rent or rising energy bills. Take a look at what can make housing a challenge in South Florida. Stephania Germain, 24, who is on a Section 8 housing voucher, poses inside her apartment that she lives in with her daughter on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024, in Miami. Germain was raised in foster care and is doing the best she can for herself and her baby. She says that even with the voucher, with recent increases it makes paying rent tough. 'It just keeps going up and I don't get a break to save, and I need new baby clothes, ya know they grow out of them so fast,' said Germain.

Who is JoAnna St. Germain? Maine school teacher says Trump ‘needs to die,' urges Secret Service to ‘take out' supporters
A Maine high school teacher said Donald Trump "need to die" and urged the US Secret Service to 'take out' people who support the president. JoAnna St. Germain's string of social media posts surfaced this week. 'The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it. You are the ones with the power. Coordinate. Take out every single person who supports Trump's illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts,' Germain said on Facebook. 'If I had the skill set required, I would take them out myself,' the educator further wrote, adding that she was she was 'not talking about assassinating a president' because a president is 'a person duly elected by the American people,' but Trump is leading 'a fascist dictatorship.' Germain has since pinned the post to the top of her Facebook page. She further wrote in the post, 'Secret Service, you are Americans. My beloved military, you are Americans. We, the people, are counting on you.' Germain is a Waterville Senior High School English teacher, according to the New York Post. After her rant went viral, she wrote in another post that she did not mean that all Republicans should die. 'I have no beef with Republicans. I have no beef with MAGA,' she stressed. 'I meant that those in the room with Trump, who are permitting and approving his egregious actions, need to be held accountable,' she added. 'I've been teaching history for so long, and it's very difficult to watch things repeat in rhymes. I love each and every one of you, and I understand why you're angry with me. I love your children. I love the disabled. I love the LGBTQ+ community. I love black and brown people. I love autistic people. My love holds no quarter for people in power actively harming those I love.' In another post, Germain said she has 'zero shame' about what she said and that she knew that she would 'likely lose my job and benefits.' 'I'm not backtracking a single thing,' she wrote. Germain added, 'I believe Trump and every sycophant he has surrounded himself with (this is not you - if you're reading this, this doesn't apply to you. You are beneath his notice and mine) needs to die. I believe this with the same forceful belief that Hitler and his sycophants needed to die, before they murdered 6 million innocent Jewish persons.' Germain wrote in a separate post that she she aware that people are 'angry with me for stating openly that Trump and his cronies need to die.' 'Gosh, I fear I may have 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'!' she wrote. Germain later reposted an emailed statement from the Waterville Public Schools Superintendent Peter Hallen, which was shared by The Maine Wire. 'Please know that I have taken steps to ensure everyone's safety and am, along with the appropriate authorities, actively investigating the incident,' Hallen wrote. 'While I cannot comment on personal matters, I assure you that due process and the safety of our students and staff are my highest priority,' he added.
