  Kevin Stefanski Hands Over Browns Play-Calling Duties to Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey: A New Era for Cleveland’s Offense In a significant shift for the Cleveland Browns, head coach Kevin Stefanski has decided to relinquish his play-calling responsibilities, passing them on to recently hired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. This move marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Browns’ offense, signaling Stefanski’s willingness to adapt in hopes of igniting the team's underwhelming performance on that side of the ball. The Decision to Step Back Since taking over as head coach in 2020, Stefanski has called offensive plays for the Browns. Under his leadership, Cleveland’s offense initially flourished, particularly during the 2020 season when the team made a rare playoff appearance, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round.

Social Security ending payment by paper checks

 http://sheriabrams.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2y6j0w1o-150x150.jpg

Social Security is closing the books on the era of paper checks.
Starting in May, anyone applying for Social Security benefits will only have the option to receive them electronically. The 10 million people who still receive Social Security checks by mail -- about one in every seven recipients -- still have nearly two years to make the switch to direct deposit.
Here are some details behind the move:
TIMING
The U.S. Department of the Treasury will start the full changeover effective May 1. Social Security recipients currently getting checks will need to switch to direct deposit by March 1, 2013. Further details are at www.ssa.gov , where you can also watch videos publicizing the switch that feature actors George Takei and Patty Duke. Anyone needing to make the switch can do so at www.godirect.org .
REASONING
It's safer and more reliable to do receive payments this way. "You don't have to worry about your check being lost or stolen and your money is available immediately on your payment date," says Michael Astrue, the Social Security commissioner. "There is no need to wait for the mail to arrive."
SAVINGS
The government ultimately will save $120 million a year by switching from paper checks to electronic payments, for a total of $1 billion saved over the next 10 years. Environmental savings also will result, with the move saving 12 million pounds of paper in the first five years alone.

U.S. Senate Passes Unemployment Extension

Image
The U.S. Senate passed a bill which had a provision for renewed unemployment extension benefits.  Florida's U.S. Senator Bill Nelson voted for the bill while Senator Marco Rubio voted against the bill. Following his vote against H.R. 2055, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012, Senator Marco Rubio issued the following statement: “This massive 1,200-plus page bill represents everything that is wrong with Washington. Our country faces major economic challenges, but Congress wasted the whole year stuck in partisan gridlock only to pass a funding bill that solves none of our problems, just to avoid a government shutdown.  This plan spends too much, wastes precious taxpayer dollars to fund a menu of job-killing regulations, anti-life provisions and earmarks, and has been ushered through Congress in a highly secretive and non-transparent manner that didn’t allow for consideration of even a single amendment. I cannot support it.” Both of Brevard County's U.S. Representa...

Following years of his shenanigans, speeches, and introduction of countless Blacklisters, fans had to bid farewell in heartbreaking fashion. Below, NBC Insider breaks down the fateful moment, and why our favorite anti-hero met his end in such a specific way. How did Red die on The Blacklist'? While on a walk in the Spanish countryside, Reddington was trampled by a bull and killed. n the moments that led up to the fatal interaction, Red and the animal had a standoff, staring at one another before the bull began to charge at him.
