What started as a crazy idea and a phone call has become one of the most inspiring stories in college football. Marty Smith
* Rivalry Weekend - Thankfulness to Thanklessness: Thursday, we gathered with family and friends to give thanks. Then, we woke up Friday morning and began two days of thanklessness...thanks to a sport so powerful that the same hands we held as we blessed the turkey, we now use to point fingers at those same family and friends to call them a turkey...because they root for the wrong school. That's the gift of college football and Rivalry Weekend. Loving and loathing, all at once, leftover turkey leg in hand. Ryan McGee

REDWOOD SHORES, California, Nov. 27 [Category: BizComputer Technology] -- Oracle, a developer of hardware and software products, posted the following news release:

Oracle Health Secures TEFCA QHIN Designation, Further Strengthening Interoperability Leadership
*
Oracle Health Information Network Inc., a subsidiary of Oracle, has been designated as a Qualified Health Information Network (r) (QHIN(tm)) as a part of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement(tm) (TEFCA(tm)). Building on a long legacy of paving the way for interoperability across the healthcare industry, Oracle Healthremains at the forefront by participating in the nationwide approach to offer secure, smooth, and standardized sharing of health information across all Designated QHINs and between providers, payers, and government agencies. The Oracle Health Information Network is another offering in Oracle's portfolio to help simplify interoperability for providers.
Earlier this year, Oracle also pledged support for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Digital Health Ecosystem and Interoperability Framework.
Oracle Health's hospital and health system customers now have a single point of connectivity for the broader healthcare ecosystem, removing the need to participate in multiple exchange networks to create a consolidated and comprehensive view of the patient.
"Becoming a Designated QHIN marks another milestone in Oracle's commitment and investment to enable safe and secure interoperability that puts patients first," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "We believe data interoperability isn't a technical goal; it's the key to unlocking the solution to many problems in healthcare, from harnessing the power of AI, improving quality of care and health outcomes, and scaling value-based care. Oracle Health Information Network helps offer this foundation to empower providers, public health officials, patients, and payers with secure data access to enhance care delivery, gain valuable insights into community health, and streamline authorizations and reimbursements."
Oracle Health Information Network is powered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and benefits from its scalability, reliability, advanced security, and high performance, and supports faster and more efficient health data sharing by reducing the dependencies on third party technology that can complicate and slow down the process. Oracle Health customers can participate for free and sign up now by opting in to the Oracle Health Information Network Terms of Participation through Oracle Health Connection Hub. It does not require additional setup, configuration, or consulting engagements.
Oracle Health Information Network delivers a holistic view of the patient by combining data from multiple care venues to drive more informed care decisions and reduce expensive, duplicative testing and clinical processes. The solution can also be used in conjunction with Oracle Health Seamless Exchange, which aggregates data from multiple sources then cleanses and deduplicates the data and integrates it into the Oracle Health Foundation electronic health record (EHR) and next-generation Oracle Health EHR. It significantly reduces time-consuming data review and manual data normalization while increasing data integrity. In addition, customers can use Oracle Health Connection Hub to manage their interoperability services, including the Oracle Health Information Network, to enable interoperability governance, auditing, and access reporting.
"We welcome Oracle Health Information Network as the latest Designated QHIN and are excited to extend the benefits of seamless health information exchange to more participants than ever," said Mariann Yeager, CEO of The Sequoia Project and TEFCA Recognized Coordinating Entity(r) (RCE(r)) Lead.

New Jersey American Water Donates $25,000 and 1,000 Pounds of Food Through Statewide Food Drive for New Jersey Food Banks
New Jersey American Water recently donated $25,000 to ten food banks across the state and held food drives at each of its operating centers, which garnered over 1,000 pounds of food in donations from employees and company partners. The company announced its pledge to donate and kicked off the food drive in late October to provide emergency relief to foodbanks facing increases in demand due to the federal shutdown.
"Access to basic needs like clean water and nutritious food is essential for healthy communities," said Kimberly Schalek Downes, vice president of Business Development, Government & External Affairs at New Jersey American Water. "By partnering with food banks across the state, we're proud to help provide relief during this challenging time and support our neighbors who need it most."
According to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and Feeding America's latest analysis, nearly 1.1 million New Jerseyans, including more than 270,000 children, are food insecure, a 65% increase since 2020. To help combat this, donations from New Jersey American Water and its employees directly benefit the following food banks:
* Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Hillside in Union & Essex Counties
* Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Egg Harbor Township in Atlantic, Cape May & Cumberland Counties
* The Food Bank of South Jersey in Burlington, Camden & Salem, Gloucester Counties
* FulFill Food Bank in Monmouth & Ocean Counties

* Mercer Street Friends Food Bank in Mercer County
* Norwescap Food Bank in Warren County
* REPLENISH in Middlesex County
* John's Pentecostal Church food bank in Salem County

LOS ANGLES, California, Nov. 27 -- TikTok, a destination for a short-form mobile video, issued the following news:

Introducing a new way to unwind, reset, and recharge on TikTok
People around the world come to TikTok to discover new interests, find inspiration, and catch up with the latest from their favorite creators as they unwind and recharge. From growing communities like #JournalTok, which has doubled in the past year, or #NatureTok, TikTok sparks moments of joy and relaxation. Today we're announcing a new Time and Well-being space that introduces more features to help people relaxand build mindful digital habits.
Today's updates build on our ongoing work to support the safety and well-being of the TikTok community, especially teens. Teen accounts on TikTok have more than 50 preset safety, privacy, and security settings automatically turned on, so they can safely express their creativity, connect with friends, and learn on our platform. This year we introduced a meditation feature and turned it on by default for teens at 10pm to support them as they wind down at night. We then made it available for everyone, and tens of millions of people have chosen to meditate with TikTok. We also launched Well-being Missions to promote positive digital habits and expanded our Mental Health Education Fund to 22 countries to enhance reliable mental health information from trusted sources on TikTok. And we launched AMBER Alerts in the U.S. to harness the power of the TikTok community to help bring missing children home, which we've seen successfully happen across states like Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina. Recognizing that every teen and every family is different, this year we also continued to add more Family Pairing features that offer parents more options to tailor their teens' account. We launched Time Away which enables parents to pause their teen's TikTok access when it's best for them to take a break, and provided more transparency into a variety of their teen's account settings. More than 1 million people visited our Family Pairing tool in the last six weeks, and millions of families continue to benefit from Family Pairing.
A new Time and Well-being space, only on TikTok
Time and Well-being makes it easier than ever for our community to relax and unwind. This comes as research shows that people who use TikTok are more likely than non-users to be interested in meditation and mindfulness*. It replaces the previous screen time management page and offers new features, including:
* An affirmational journal, allowing people to set their intention for the day, with more than 120 different affirmation cards to download or even share with others.
* A soothing sound generator, featuring the sounds of rain, waves, and white noise. Survey data shows that people who use TikTok are 14% more likely than non-users to listen to music to help them sleep or relax*.
* Breathing exercises, featuring different types of mindful breathing.
The new space also includes videos from creators that offer practical guidance on maximizing TikTok tools, such as screen time limits, customizing the For You feed, and using Family Pairing. We collaborated with @louislevanti, @thepsychdoctormd, @oh.henrys, @quenwilliamss and @juicybodygoddess to launch the first series of videos, with more to come from creators around the world.
New Well-being Missions
As we roll out the new Time and Well-being space, we're also launching four new Well-being Missions. These are short, fun tasks designed to help our community, and teens in particular, use technology with greater purpose and confidence. Well-being Missions is guided by academic literature that shows how restrictive approaches to building habits can be punitive and counterproductive as well as clinically-informed insights from experts like the Digital Wellness Lab. We also listened to our Youth Council as well as research showing that two-thirds of teens say tools to help manage their time on digital media are useful. As people complete missions, they earn badges that encourage and reinforce mindful behaviors.
* To complete the new Sleep Hours Mission, people have to stay off TikTok at night. They can also meditate during Sleep Hours to collect their badge. This Mission lasts eight weeks and people can grow their own 'Well-being tree' as they successfully complete the Mission each week. This idea was inspired by input from our Youth Council during our recent Summit in London.
* To earn the daily screen time badge, people need to set a screen time limit and then stick to their goal.
* Our new weekly screen time Mission prompts people to check their weekly screen time report. This is designed to help people more intentionally reflect and be aware of the time they spend on TikTok.
* We've also launched a Well-being Ambassador Mission to reward people who invite others to explore the Well-being Missions.
We're already seeing encouraging results from early testing: more people are returning to our new Time and Well-being space compared to the previous screen time settings menu, and the affirmation journal is proving to be the most popular new addition so far.
"In today's online landscape, well-being has to be a priority. I'm glad to see my project brought to life for millions of people around the world to experience. This idea, born thanks to the TikTok Youth Council, recognizes the impact young people can have when given the right platform. I look forward to seeing the change the Time and Well-being space will bring, and I hope it helps teens and adults alike to balance their online lives."
- Tomas Cermak, 19, TikTok Youth Council member
Helping people discover Time and Well-being
Time and Well-being is accessible from the Account Settings page. To help people intuitively access it throughout our app, we'll also link to it when someone reaches their daily screen time limit or their Sleep Hours are active. We've also added a prompt to our Take A Break videos to further promote the new feature.
Supporting independent research
As we look to 2026, we will be making a $100,000 contribution to the Tech Coalition SafeOnline Research Fund to support their work at the intersection of young people, researchers, and digital well-being. And as we continue testing and hearing feedback from our community, we look forward to sharing more.
"We know that the way we use technology can influence our mental well-being. TikTok's new Time and Well-being space is a meaningful step toward digital environments designed with care, balance, and reflection in mind. When platforms incorporate science and social responsibility into their design, they help people build healthier relationships with technology, and with themselves." - Dr Eva Trujillo, Executive Director of Comenzar de Nuevo
"It's great to see TikTok acting upon direct feedback from their Youth Council and building out a suite of well-being tools to help people manage their screen time and center their well-being when using the app." - Dr. Vicki Harrison, Member of TikTok's Content Advisory Counsel and Program Director for Stanford Psychiatry's Center for Youth Mental Health & Wellbeing

Dentons launches new Consumer Portal for clients
Dentons, the world's largest global law firm, has launched a Consumer Portal to help clients navigate the consumer law and enforcement aspects of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA).
Enacted in May 2024, the DMCCA has been implemented in stages, with most of the consumer law provisions coming into force on 6 April 2025.
The DMCCA introduced major changes to how consumer protection legislation is administered and enforced in the UK,creating significant new compliance challenges for consumer-facing businesses.
Dentons' free-to-access Consumer Portal is designed as a one-stop shop for businesses seeking practical guidance on the consumer aspects of the DMCCA.
Compiled by Dentons' consumer law experts, the firm's Consumer Portal includes resources on:
* consumer enforcement powers and provisions;
* pricing practices;
* fake reviews, hidden advertising and social media platforms; and
* greenwashing.
These resources will be updated to reflect new guidance, emerging enforcement trends and new cases brought under the DMCCA.
Businesses accessing the resources will also be able to contact Dentons' consumer law specialists via the portal for expert advice on any consumer-protection-related queries.
Laura Whyatt, a partner in Dentons' UK Competition team, said: "We have launched this Consumer Portal in response to client demand for easy-to-access expert support on how DMCCA provisions are being implemented and enforced."
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has recently demonstrated its intention to crack down on harmful practices that directly affect consumers, with the launch of eight new investigations into online pricing practices by a range of businesses. These are the first enforcement cases brought by the CMA using its new DMCCA powers and clearly illustrate the need for guidance on how to comply with the new regime.
Tom Hanson, a partner in Dentons' UK Disputes team, said: "Our Consumer Portal's resources offer clear, digestible explanations and advice on core aspects of the DMCCA, based on Dentons' own analysis of where the Act will affect businesses most."
We encourage any business that is concerned, uncertain or simply curious about how the DMCCA will affect their operations to visit Dentons' Consumer Portal and to get in touch with us, or their usual Dentons contact, if they have any specific queries.

BMJ Group: Daily Coffee Drinking May Slow Biological Ageing of People With Major Mental Illness

LONDON, England, Nov. 27 (TNSjou) -- BMJ Group issued the following news release about their journal "BMJ Mental Health":
* * *
Daily coffee drinking may slow biological ageing of people with major mental illness
Major psychiatric disorders associated with shorter telomeres, indicative of cellular ageing
3-4 cups linked to longer telomeres, equal to 5 extra 'biological' years, say researchers
But no such effects observed beyond this daily amount
*
Drinking a maximum of 3-4 cups of coffee a day may slow the 'biological' ageing of people with severe mental illness, by lengthening their telomeres--indicatorsof cellular ageing--and giving them the equivalent of 5 extra biological years, compared with non-coffee drinkers, finds research (https://mentalhealth.bmj.com/lookup/doi/10.1136/bmjment-2025-301700) published in the open access journal BMJ Mental Health.
But no such effects were observed beyond this quota, which is the maximum daily intake recommended by several international health authorities, including the NHS and the US Food and Drug Administration.
Telomeres sit on the end of chromosomes and perform a role similar to the plastic tips on the end of shoelaces. While telomere shortening is a natural part of the ageing process, it seems to be accelerated in those with major psychiatric disorders, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, note the researchers.
Telomeres are sensitive to environmental factors, including, possibly, diet. And coffee, when drunk in moderation, has been associated with various health benefits, prompting the researchers to explore whether it might influence the rate at which telomeres shorten in people with major mental ill health.
They included 436 adult participants from the Norwegian Thematically Organised Psychosis (TOP) study, recruited between 2007 and 2018: 259 had schizophrenia; the rest (177) had affective disorders, including bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder with psychosis.
Participants were asked how much coffee they drank every day and were grouped into 4 categories: zero (44); 1-2 cups; 3-4 cups (110); and 5 or more cups. And they were asked whether they smoked, and if so, for how long they had done so.
Participants who drank 5+ cups a day were significantly older than those who drank none or 1-2 cups a day. And those with schizophrenia drank significantly more coffee than those with an affective disorder.
Smoking is associated with faster caffeine metabolism. And around three quarters of participants (77%; 337) smoked, and had done so, on average, for 9 years. And those drinking 5+ cups a day had smoked for significantly longer than any of the other groups.
Telomere length was measured from white blood cells (leucocytes) extracted from blood samples, and this revealed a significant difference among the 4 groups, forming a J shaped curve.
Compared with those drinking no coffee, drinking up to 3-4 cups a day was associated with longer telomeres, but not in those participants drinking 5 or more every day.
Those participants getting a daily 4-cup caffeine hit had telomere lengths comparable to a biological age 5 years younger than that of non-coffee drinkers after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, tobacco use, type of mental ill health, and drug treatment.
This is an observational study, and, as such, no firm conclusions can be drawn about cause and effect. And the researchers acknowledge that they had no information on potentially influential factors, including the type and timing of the coffee consumed, actual caffeine levels, or other sources of caffeinated drinks.
But there are plausible biological explanations for their findings, they suggest. These include the powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds found in coffee.
"Telomeres are highly sensitive to both oxidative stress and inflammation, further highlighting how coffee intake could help preserve cellular ageing in a population whose pathophysiology may be predisposing them to an accelerated rate of ageing," they explain.
Coffee is popular worldwide, with an estimated 10.56 billion kilos consumed around the globe in 2021-2 alone, they point out.
But despite its potential benefits, "consuming more than the daily recommended amount of coffee may also cause cellular damage and [telomere] shortening through the formation of reactive oxygen species," they caution, emphasising that international health authorities recommend limiting caffeine intake to a maximum of 400 mg/day (4 cups of coffee).
