[Yoo Choon-sik] What changing US AI policy means to South KoreaPresident-elect Donald Trump rounded out his Cabinet picks Saturday, by naming Brooke Rollins to stand for Secretary of Agriculture. Trump's Cabinet choices are defined so far by loyalty to the president-elect, right-wing ideology and a swirl of sexual assault allegations . The latter felled Matt Gaetz , the former Florida Representative and Trump's first pick for Attorney General who withdrew from consideration after it was clear he would not receive enough confirmation votes amid a cloud of continuing allegations of sexual misconduct . The Cabinet picks are likely to face bruising confirmation hearings despite Republican control of the Senate. In response, Trump has floated the demand that GOP leadership allow for recess appointments as an end-around of the confirmation process . Here's what you need to know about Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees. Brooke Rollins nominated as Agriculture Secretary Rollins is currently president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, a conservative, pro-Trump think tank she formed in 2021 alongside other members of the former president's orbit while he was out of office.

The president-elect had in private conservations referred to her a "great" option, saying that "she’s tall" and "got the look," the New York Times reported last month. If confirmed by the Senate, Rollins would lead a 100,000-person agency with offices in every county in the country, whose remit includes farm and nutrition programs, forestry, home and farm lending, food safety, rural development, agricultural research, trade and more. It had a budget of $437.2 billion in 2024. Trump's Cabinet picks Notable Trump administration picks Contributing: Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy , Sarah D.

NoneNEW YORK — Stoli Group USA, the owner of the namesake vodka , has filed for bankruptcy as it struggled to contend with slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack that has snarled its operations and several years of fighting Russia in court. The company in its bankruptcy filing said it is “experiencing financial difficulties” and lists between $50 million and $100 million in liabilities. Stoli vodka and Kentucky Owl bourbon will continue to be available on store shelves while the company navigates the Chapter 11 process, which only pertains to its U.S. business. Until 2022, Stoli was sold as Stolichnaya in the United States, which loosely translates to “capital city” in Russian. The company shortened its title following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and boycotts against Russian-branded vodkas . Stoli Group’s founder, Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler, was exiled from that nation in 2000 because of his opposition to President Vladimir Putin. Intel announced on December 2 that CEO Pat Gelsinger has resigned after a difficult stint at the company. The once-dominant chipmaker’s stock cratered as it missed the AI boom and was surpassed by most of its rivals. The liquor has long been marketed as a Russian vodka, but its production facilities have been in Latvia for several decades. Stoli Group is a unit of Luxembourg-based SPI Group, which owns other spirit and wine brands. “The Stoli Group has been targeted by the Russian Federation since it was formed nearly 25 years ago,” said Stoli Group CEO Chris Caldwell in a statement. “Earlier this year the company and our owner were both named by the Russian state as ‘extremist groups working against Russia’s interests.’” Its ongoing legal battle with the Russia government has forced Stoli to “spend dozens of millions of dollars on this long-term court battle across the globe with the Russian authorities,” according to its court filing. Caldwell also said that Stoli’s global operations has been a “victim of a malicious cyber attack” that has forced the company to operate “entirely manually while the systems are rebuilt.” A slowdown in demand for alcohol has crushed several company’s bottom lines following the pandemic when people were stuck at home and stocked up. Stoli’s filings said that it has seen a “decline and softening of demand for alcohol and spirits products post-Covid and especially beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2024.” Stoli Group USA, maker of Stoli vodka, has filed for bankruptcy due to slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack, and ongoing legal battles with Russia.

CORVALLIS – Time to review Oregon State’s 41-38 win over Washington State from Saturday at Reser Stadium with eight takeaways: 1. The first question we have Where does Oregon State hang the Pac-12 championship banner in Reser Stadium? Does the school paint a sign on one of the end zone walls? Or perhaps a “kick me” size sign pinned to the back of Benny Beaver? 2. Best win of the season? Some on social media have rated the Beavers’ win over Washington State as its best performance of the season. Better than the historic shutout at San Diego State? The overtime win over Colorado State? Yeah, probably. None of those teams have eight wins like Washington State. None of those teams were in the College Football Playoff chase at some point in November like WSU. None of those teams had an offense statistically rated among the country’s top 10 like the Cougars. Oregon State’s offense seemed left for dead after its no-show a week ago at Air Force. But here were the Beavers, producing 484 yards and five touchdowns against Washington State. The offense, which had struggled in the red zone the past three weeks, was 4-for-4, all touchdowns. Quarterback John Mateer had a day with 250 passing yards, 75 rushing yards and a combined four touchdowns. But no one else on the Cougars went off. WSU had 384 yards offense, 77 under its season average. The OSU defense also chipped in with a timely takeaway inside the final two minutes that led to the game-winning field goal. It had six tackles for loss, the second highest total of the season. Special teams contributed two field goals, including the fourth longest in school history that won the game. Yeah, probably? No, definitely.

Not much separates WSU and OSU Washington State came into the game as 12-point favorite, an 8-2 record and a bowl berth long ago sewed up. While Oregon State was reeling with a five-game losing streak and coming off its first shutout loss in nine years. Yet what happened Saturday night we should have seen coming. Washington State has been living on the edge all season, and it’s just now coming back to bite the Cougars. WSU has been remarkably clutch in one-score games, as it pulled out last second wins over Washington, San Jose State, Fresno State and San Diego State. The Cougars have finally come back to the middle the past two weeks, losing close games at New Mexico and OSU. The Beavers, meanwhile, were probably due to pull one out. They lost narrowly to Nevada, UNLV and San Jose State, while outlasting Colorado State. 4. Nothing to lose That seemed to be Trent Bray’s mindset. Anything close on fourth down, and Oregon State was going for it. Worked, too, as the Beavers were 4-of-5 on fourth down. Converting fourth down plays came on drives that produced three touchdowns and a field goal. The biggest fourth down gamble was the last one. The game was tied at 38-38, one minute remaining and the Beavers faced with fourth-and-six at the WSU 45. This wasn’t within Ben Gulbranson sneak range, or a short run by Anthony Hankerson. Also, misfire, and Washington State is suddenly within 20 yards of field goal range to win the game. Hardly a slam dunk decision for Bray. Punting was on the table. “We went back and forth, but the final decision was, you give them the ball back with a minute and two timeouts. That’s an eternity. We’re going to go win this thing,” Bray said. It paid off, as Ben Gulbranson threw for seven yards to Trent Walker for a first down. Four plays later, Everett Hayes kicked a 55-yard field goal for the go-ahead score. The 4-of-5 conversions on fourth down matched a season high. The Beavers are 21 of 36 on fourth down this season. 5. Suddenly, a bowl berth isn’t that far fetched Oregon State won a game as an 11-point underdog against Washington State. Who’s to say the Beavers can’t march into Boise State and keep it going Friday and achieve bowl eligibility? I know, I know, you’re saying it’s impossible. But that was the tone Saturday morning on social media, as everyone but Pat McAfee was not only picking OSU to lose to Washington State, but get its doors blown off. Winning at Boise State will be difficult. But one big factor will be worth watching this week: the health of running back Ashton Jeanty. The Boise State standout suffered a lower leg injury during the second half of Saturday’s 17-13 win at Wyoming. Jeanty eventually returned to the game after he was sidelined for a few series. But who knows if Jeanty was staving off pain with adrenaline or not. It’s the days after a such an injury that can be the worst. Jeanty or not, beating the Broncos in Boise is a tough ask. Oregon State is 1-3 at Albertsons Stadium. The Beavers have lost the last three road games to Boise State by margins of 19, 28 and 13 points. 6. What if this becomes a two-game winning streak? The Beavers now have a pulse, one that was revived Saturday after the debacle eight days ago at Air Force. One win, and Oregon State is headed to a bowl somewhere. It might be played in Shreveport or Tampa or Fort Worth, but it’s a bowl. Are we predicting an Oregon State win at Boise State? No, we are not. But it will not be surprising if the Beavers give the Broncos all they can handle. There’s also the matter of Boise State’s College Football Playoff run. Expectations are heavy, and they’re starting to weigh on the Broncos. Boise State is no longer on the winning end of blowouts. The Broncos were all out to beat Nevada and Wyoming, and even their 42-21 win over San Jose State on November 16 was dressed up with two touchdowns during the final two minutes. 7. Dual quarterbacks As is becoming a theme of late, Oregon State loves tinkering with its quarterback rotation. Saturday, the Beavers started Gulbranson , but liberally sprinkled in the use of Gabarri Johnson. The redshirt freshman took 12 of the team’s 83 offensive snaps, running six times for 47 yards and a touchdown. Johnson also completed one pass for 20 yards. Bray praised offensive coordinator Ryan Gunderson’s game plan, saying “I thought what we did with Gabarri and how we used his legs helped us move the ball. I think they did a good job of narrowing it down. Less is more. That’s what we found today.” 8. Senior Day stars, but youngsters also have a game On a day when 19 Oregon State players were honored on Senior Day, many played a starring role. Gulbranson passed for a career-high 294 yards and two touchdowns. Cornerback Jaden Robinson had the fumble recovery that led to Hayes’ game-winning kick. Tight end Jermaine Terry II caught five passes for 92 yards and a touchdown play of 43 yards. Hayes kicks field goals of 47 and 55 yards. Semisi Saluni had a sack, just OSU’s second in four games. But newcomers to the lineup also made an impact. Johnson, Darrius Clemons and Salahadin Allah scored their first touchdowns as Beavers. Safety Jaheim Patterson had his best game in an OSU uniform with four tackles, one for a loss. Andy Alfieri, recently moved to defense from tight end, had a team-high two tackles for loss. Freshman cornerback Exodus Ayers forced the fumble that Robinson recovered. -- Nick Daschel can be reached at 360-607-4824, ndaschel@oregonian.com or @nickdaschel . Our journalism needs your support.
