LSU Jacobian Guillory [Video]

No. 16 LSU will respond to defensive tackle Jacobian Guillorys season-ending injury not by elevating one reserve into a starting role, but by adapting the Tigers alignment up front to suit the strengths of available players, coach Brian Kelly said on Monday.Kelly confirmed that Guillorys injury during Saturday nights victory over Nicholls State was a torn Achilles tendon. He added that coaches are speaking with the senior defensive lineman and his family about a possible medical redshirt, which would give Guillory an opportunity to play for the Tigers next season.He was a stalwart for us, a big physical, point-of-attack guy, Kelly said as his team began preparations for this Saturdays game at South Carolina. Youre losing a very strong inside presence to your defense, and so youve got to look at who can make up for that.Junior college transfer Shone Washington got the bulk of the work after Guillory went down against Nicholls, but that alone wont be the plan going forward.Washington played very, very well. So, hes going to be the first guy that picks up a piece of those snaps that Guillory had been getting, Kelly said.Dominick McKinley, who did not play in LSUs first two games, could get a chance to play earlier than initially planned, Kelly said. Another option would entail moving a versatile defensive end to the interior situationally. Defenses sometimes do so to augment their pass rush, and Kelly noted that Guillory wasnt a dynamic pass rusher, and he would be the first to tell you. Meanwhile, Kelly provided health updates on receiver Chris Hilton, left guard Garrett Dellinger, and receiver Kyle Parker, leaving open the possibility that all three could play this weekend.Hilton has an unspecified bone bruise that has kept him out of the first two games. Kelly said hes now day-to-day and cleared for all football related activities. But Kelly indicated that Hilton might not be pain-free, saying the timing of his return will come down to what he can tolerate.He has all function now, Kelly said. Its just a matter of time now with Chris.Kelly said Dellinger, who has an upper body injury, has been cleared to practice on Tuesday, and that Parkers elbow injury is improving and they he could be practicing by weeks end.Storm preparationsKelly said he spent part of Monday morning in discussions about the potential for Tropical Storm Francine to hit Louisiana as a hurricane in the middle of the week and the possibility of thunder storms causing delays during Saturdays game in Columbia, South Carolina.Theres one thing that Ive learned about being here at LSU, Kelly said. There are plans over plans over plans when people talk about hurricanes.As for Saturdays game, Kelly has met with trainers discuss plans for keeping players loose in the event of weather delays.Its been a long morning on hurricanes and thunder storms, Kelly said.

MO Amendment 3 decertified, setting up Supreme Court showdown [Video]

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft decertified Amendment 3 from the November election ballot on Monday. The amendment, if passed, would provide constitutional protection for abortion in Missouri. In decertifying the amendment, Ashcroft cited a lower court’s ruling on a suit that was issued late Friday out of Cole County, saying the amendment was invalid because it did not include which laws would be repealed if passed.The decertification sets Amendment 3 up for a state supreme court showdown with a tight turnaround – the deadline to place a measure on the absentee ballot before printing in Missouri comes at 5 p.m. Tuesday. Backers of the amendment argue it would not repeal laws but instead create a new law and supersede much of the original legislation on the books. Thomas More Society attorney Mary Catherine Martin on Friday argued that the campaign to restore abortion rights in Missouri drafted an amendment that is intentionally broad in order to trick voters into supporting it.They have not treated the voters with the respect that the Constitution requires, Martin told reporters after the trial.Missourians for Constitutional Freedom, the abortion rights campaign, said the lawsuit is an attempt to block voters from enacting the amendment at the polls.Out-of-touch politicians and the special interest groups who hold influence over them are making a last-ditch effort to prevent Missourians from exercising their constitutional right to direct democracy, lawyer Tori Schafer said.Martin said, if adopted, the Missouri measure could undo the state’s bans on human cloning, genital mutilation and gender-affirming surgeries for children. She said at least some voters would not have signed the petition to put the amendment on the ballot if they had known about all the laws that could be repealed.Why would you hide that you are going to open the frontier of reproductive health care in Missouri if you have the confidence that people are still going to sign the petition? Martin said.Loretta Haggard, another lawyer for the abortion rights campaign, said assuming that the measure would repeal bans on cloning and genital mutilation which are not mentioned in the amendment is extreme speculation.Haggard said it will be up to future judges to decide which abortion laws are thrown out if the amendment is adopted. She pointed to provisions in the measure that allow restrictions on abortion after fetal viability, for example.The term is used by health care providers to describe whether a pregnancy is expected to continue developing normally or whether a fetus might survive outside the uterus. It is generally considered to be around 23 or 24 weeks into pregnancy but has shifted earlier with medical advances.Missouri banned most abortions immediately after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. There is an exception for medical emergencies, but almost no abortions have occurred at Missouri facilities since then.The Missouri Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in this case starting at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, with a decision expected before the 5 p.m. deadline. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Air Canada readies shutdown as pilot union talks appear deadlocked [Video]

Air Canada is preparing to suspend most of its flights starting next Sunday as it faces a likely impasse in talks with its pilots over wage demands, the company said. The airline’s pilots, who voted in August to strike if talks fail, are pushing to close a pay gap with their American counterparts, but Air Canada says their demands “far exceed average Canadian wage increases.”
