Reckitt Benckiser Recalls Nutramigen Powder Amid Bacterial Contamination Concerns The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the voluntary recall of select batches of Nutramigen infant formula powder by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition. The recall was initiated due to potential contamination by Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacterium that can cause severe and potentially fatal infections such as sepsis and meningitis. Potential Contamination Detected Despite rigorous testing by Mead Johnson Nutrition indicating the absence of the bacteria, the recall was spurred by a product sample tested outside the U.S. that revealed contamination. Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula used for managing Cow’s Milk Allergy (CMA) in infants, is available in 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans. Impacted Batches Already Consumed The affected batches of Nutramigen were produced in June 2023 and distributed primarily in June, July, and August. Reckitt Benckiser has communicated that most, if not all, of the recalled products in the United States have likely been consumed. No illnesses or adverse events linked to the consumption of the potentially contaminated product have been reported to date. Consumers Urged To Check Batch Numbers Consumers who have purchased Nutramigen Powder are urged to check the bottom of their cans for the impacted batch numbers and corresponding can sizes. Although the exact batch numbers were not provided in the announcement, the potential risk of infections like sepsis and meningitis from consuming the contaminated formula is significant. Symptoms of these infections may include jaundice, temperature fluctuations, poor feeding, irritability, difficulty breathing, and unusual movements. It is important to note that no other U.S.-distributed Nutramigen batches or other Reckitt products are affected by this recall. Reckitt Benckiser has not yet responded to requests for comments on the matter.

Stanford shocks No. 4 Arizona men's basketball in 100-82 win STANFORD, Calif. – Any notion that No. 4 Arizona might run the table during its final Pac-12 season ended quickly Sunday. Stanford, once a heated rival of Arizona’s during the early 2000s, handed the Wildcats a 100-82 loss at the now-mostly empty arena, where UA has lost for the second straight season. The Wildcats, who lost 88-79 last season at Maples when the Cardinal limited big men Oumar Ballo and Azuolas Tubelis, this time watched their defense get shredded. Stanford shot 58.1% overall and 64.0% (16 for 25) from 3-point range; both were highs for a UA opponent this season. Reserve guard Kanaan Carlyle led Stanford with 25 points while longtime UA nemesis Spencer Jones added 21 while making 5 of 6 3-pointers. Caleb Love led UA with 23 points on 9-for-19 shooting but made just 1 of 6 3s. Kylan Boswell was 1 of 7 from 3, adding to the Wildcats’ overall 23.1% shooting from outside. The loss was Arizona’s third in its past five games, dropping the Wildcats to 10-3. Stanford, which lost 76-73 to ASU on Thursday, improved to 6-6. Trailing 44-35 at halftime, the Wildcats fell behind 60-43 after Stanford’s Jones hit three 3-pointers over a 70-second span early in the second half, the first coming after UA’s Kylan Boswell turned the ball over with an offensive charge as he drove to the basket with 17:51 left. A 3-pointer from Boswell cut the Cardinal’s lead to 60-46, the Wildcats couldn’t dig out of the hole. Midway through the second half, Arizona guard KJ Lewis fouled Carlyle from behind the 3-point arc, and Carlyle hit all three ensuing free throws to give the Cardinal a 77-57 lead with 9:46 left. Arizona cut Stanford’s lead to 80-69 by the time Ballo scored inside with 7:15 left, but the Wildcats never cut it to single digits the rest of the way. Stanford took another 20-point lead, 95-75, when Jones drove in for a layup with 2:57 left and the Cardinal coasted the rest of the way. In the first half, Arizona shot just 41.2% while trailing Stanford 44-35 at halftime Sunday. Arizona received six points from Ballo and another five from power forward Keshad Johnson but made just 3 of 12 3-pointers. Arizona never took the lead, missing 3 of 4 shots to begin the game, but the Wildcats did tie it at 12, while Johnson hit a 3 off a turnover from Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud to cut the Cardinal’s lead to 22-19 midway through the half. But Stanford pulled ahead toward the end of the half, getting a boost from a four-point play by Carlyle, who drew a foul from Caleb Love on his fallaway 3-point shot, then hit the ensuing free throw to make it 29-21. Stanford went up by as many as 15 points the rest of the half, taking a 43-28 lead with 2:32 left when James Keefe dunked after Arizona’s KJ Lewis missed a layup. Carlyle led all scorers with 13 points in the half. After saying he was considering expanding his rotation -- and possibly because of Stanford's overall size -- UA coach Tommy Lloyd played freshman forward Paulius Murauskas for four minutes in the first half. The Lithuanian freshman responded with six points, hitting 2 of 2 from the field and from the line. For the game, Murauskas scored eight points in six minutes played. Arizona is scheduled to return home next weekend to face two top competitors for the Pac-12 title, Colorado (on Thursday) and Utah (Saturday).

Redefining Medical Education: The Power of Exercise Prescription Imagine walking into a doctor’s office, expecting a prescription for medication, but instead, the doctor hands you an exercise regimen. This isn’t a far-fetched scenario, thanks to an innovative educational intervention at Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC), which aims to bolster medical student confidence and expertise in prescribing exercise to patients. An Innovative Approach to Medical Education The intervention consisted of a unique course offered to first-year medical students at SKMC. The curriculum centered around the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) physical activity guidelines. However, it wasn’t just about theory. The students were provided with gym equipment to delve into the aerobic and strength components of the ACSM guidelines practically. The course was far from mundane, employing gamification and case-based learning to keep the students engaged. The Results Speak Volumes Confidence and knowledge – two crucial factors in a medical student’s journey – were assessed before and after the course. The Likert scale was used to measure confidence, while multiple-choice questions (MCQs) gauged knowledge. The results were inspiring, with students who completed the course showcasing significantly higher confidence and knowledge in exercise prescription compared to their counterparts who did not participate. Addressing the Gap in Medical Curricula This innovative course underscores an often neglected aspect of medical education – exercise prescription. It highlights the need to incorporate fitness education in preclinical curricula and demonstrates the effectiveness of interactive methods like gamification and hands-on experience in enhancing medical students’ capability to provide exercise recommendations. While the course is indeed a step in the right direction, it also serves as a reminder of the broader educational gap in medical curricula concerning exercise prescription. As the world grapples with a growing obesity epidemic and associated health conditions, the importance of educating future doctors about the role of exercise in health and well-being cannot be overstated.

In 1950, two brothers found the remains of an ancient Scandinavian man while digging in a peat bog in Denmark. The body was so well-preserved that they thought it was a victim of a recent murder, prompting them to notify the authorities immediately. But soon, it became clear that the corpse was from an entirely different time period altogether. Due to the highly acidic water in the peat bog, the man was naturally mummified and preserved. The cold saltwater from Scandinavia’s North Sea contributed to the bog’s high acidity levels. The salt helps peat moss grow, and when the moss rots, it releases acid. The acid prevents the growth of bacteria, which would cause human bodies to decompose. In addition, the man’s remarkable preservation can also be chalked up to the fact that his body was placed in the bog during the winter when the cold temperatures of the water acted as a sort of refrigerator. The mummified corpse has been referred to as the Tollund Man. Over the years, carbon dating determined that the Tollund Man’s remains date back sometime between 405 B.C. and 380 B.C., during the early Iron Age, which makes him more than 2,000 years old. He was about 40 years old when he died by hanging, possibly in a human ritual sacrifice. Experts believe that the ritual sacrifice theory holds more credibility than the idea that he may have been executed for being a criminal. This is because, back then, criminals were cremated. The Tollund Man was found with a braided leather noose still wrapped around his neck. He also wore a pointed cap made of wool and sheepskin and was curled up in the fetal position. His facial features and internal organs were in excellent condition, so scientists were even able to take his fingerprints and conduct an analysis of his stomach. The study showed that he had consumed his last meal 12 to 24 hours before his death.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14 STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik. The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX. Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.” Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.” The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer. A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit. As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds. Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics. Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign. She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris. Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne. He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim. Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries. The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis. But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.” While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future. “In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.” Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Retired Physician Dr. Con Murphy Champions Renovation of Oncology Unit at CUH Dr. Con Murphy, an esteemed retired general practitioner and former physician to the Cork Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) for over four decades, led the charge in transforming the oncology unit at Cork University Hospital (CUH). His impassioned leadership galvanized a series of fundraisers that amassed more than 300,000 euros for the project. Comfort Care Suite: A Beacon of Solace The funds, managed by CUH Charity, the hospital’s dedicated fundraising branch, were utilized to construct a comfort care suite. This suite is designed with a vision to enhance the end-of-life experience for cancer patients and their families, providing a sanctuary amidst the clinical intensity of the hospital. The suite features a separate sleeping area and kitchen for relatives, a family room, and a youth room. These areas collectively serve to create a more homely and private environment, offering much-needed respite from the hospital setting. Shared Vision and Commitment Mairead Lyons, the end-of-life care coordinator at CUH, lauded the project as a pioneering initiative within the hospital. Lyons emphasized the vision, commitment, and shared goal that underscored this effort, which aimed to significantly improve end-of-life care for patients and their families. Hope for Replication Dr. Murphy, grateful for the support garnered from his GAA contacts, expressed the necessity for more comfort care suites throughout the hospital. He envisions the replication of this initiative in other wards on the Wilton campus, underlining the profound impact such spaces can have on patients and their families navigating their end-of-life care journey.

Since Jan. 1 is a federal holiday, you might be wondering if Home Depot is open on New Year's and if so, what the home improvement retailer's store hours are in 2024. A reasonable question given that throughout the holiday season, many stores have operated with modified or adjusted hours, which is pretty much the case every year during Thanksgiving and Christmas. And since New Year's is, in fact, a federal holiday, financial institutions like banks and credit unions, as well as government offices, including the USPS are closed in observance of the holiday. But what about Home Depot? To get all the details, TODAY.com reached out to Home Depot for specifics and here's what you need to know.

Retrospective Study Reveals Critical Improvements Needed in Cirrhosis Care A recent retrospective study delved into the circumstances of patients with cirrhosis and ascites who underwent outpatient paracentesis by Interventional Radiology (IR) at a tertiary academic medical center between October 2015 and October 2018. The primary goal of the study was to scrutinize hospital utilization and complications related to cirrhosis within six months of the index outpatient paracentesis, with an aim to pinpoint potential enhancements in patient care. Demographics and Initial Findings The study incorporated the data of 69 distinct patients, most of whom were males primarily suffering from alcohol-related cirrhosis. The average age of the patients was 60, and the average Model for End-Stage Liver Disease sodium (MELDNa) score was 16 at the baseline. The MELDNa score is a system used to measure the severity of chronic liver disease. Complications and Hospital Admissions Over six months following the index paracentesis, the study registered numerous repeat paracenteses, emergency department visits, and hospital as well as ICU admissions. The complications that ensued included hepatic encephalopathy, acute kidney injury, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Notably, a six-month mortality rate of 20% was documented. Predictive Factors and Recommendations The study discovered that older age and a higher MELDNa score were indicative of mortality. However, the baseline MELDNa score was found to be predictive of some complications, but not all. Despite guidelines recommending the consideration of a procedure known as transjugular portosystemic shunt (TIPS), TIPS consideration was found to be lamentably low. Furthermore, only a small number of patients were waitlisted for liver transplantation. The authors propose that IR paracentesis should be incorporated within a multidisciplinary management model and accentuate the importance of early TIPS in eligible patients, as per current practice guidelines. They also highlighted the conspicuous absence of gastroenterologist or hepatologist evaluation and medication adjustment during the IR procedure. The authors concluded that further data are imperative to identify specific lacunas in patient care.

The holiday season is nearly a wrap and with that, there's only 358 days to go until next Christmas (give or take). With Santa safely back at the North Pole, you're probably thinking about returning the presents he brought that didn't quite work out, or keeping on eye on the mailbox for the gift card that didn't arrive in the St. Nick of time. And, yes, pun intended. Or perhaps you bypassed Christmas cards this year in favor of sending off New Year's wishes instead. If so, a trip to the post office is likely in order to pick up stamps or to drop your addressed envelopes into the box. Regardless of what you may need from the USPS, you might be wondering if the post office is open and if the mail runs on New Year's Day. New Year's Day is one of 11 annual federal holidays including Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day. As is customary on federal holidays, a majority of banks and government offices are typically closed. Many retailers and restaurants, however, are open and happy to welcome customers on New Year's Day (find a list here), unlike Thanksgiving and Christmas when many close to allow employees to spend time with loved ones. Which brings us back to New Year's Day and the USPS. If you're waiting for something important to show up or have business at the post office, here's what you need to know this year. Is there mail delivery on New Year's Eve 2024? As you already know, New Year's Eve lands on a Sunday this year and since the mail doesn't routinely run on Sundays, it's safe to assume that there won't be mail on Dec. 31, 2023. Just to make sure, TODAY.com reached out to the USPS and according to statement, normal Sunday closures apply this year, which means post offices will be closed on New Year's Eve. Of course, it's never a bad idea to check with your local branch because according to the USPS, "Customers are always encouraged to check with their local Post Office for hours of operation." Will the mail run on New Year's Day 2024? Since New Year's Day falls on a Monday this year, it's tempting to think that because it's a weekday, the post office is open for business. However, because it's officially a federal holiday, the post office will be closed on Monday, Jan. 1, 2024 and mail will not be delivered. Mail will not be collected from blue boxes on either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. With that in mind, depending on the urgency of your transaction, you may want to plan ahead. Normal USPS operations resume on Tuesday, Jan. 2, at which time you can take care of any unfinished postal business. If you're in a real pinch, the USPS reminds customers that "many services, such as purchasing stamps and shipping labels, are available at usps.com." Finally, to save you a trip to your local post office, you can find local hours and services using the USPS branch locator, which you'll conveniently find right here.	https://www.today.com/life/holidays/mail-on-new-years-day-2024-rcna129029	2024-01-01T00:45:26Z
Larkins reaches 1,000 point milestone in overtime win in Omaha OMAHA, Neb. (Dakota News Now) - Junior guard Grace Larkins scored her 1,000th career point as the Coyotes defeated Omaha 77-71 in overtime Sunday afternoon inside Baxter Arena. South Dakota (11-4, 1-1 Summit) posted its third-straight overtime win on the road. The Coyotes have never had three overtime wins in the same season, let alone three on the road. USD’s never had more than one overtime road win in a season prior to this year. Larkins knocked down a 3-pointer midway through the third quarter to become the 31st Coyote with 1,000 career points. She finished with a game-high 22 points and 11 rebounds. It marks her 14th career 20-point game and 10th career double-double. Junior guard Kendall Holmes finished with 18 points, including seven of the Coyotes’ 11 overtime points. Senior forward Tori DePerry joined them in double-figure scoring with 12 points. Omaha (4-9, 0-2) put four players in double figures. Guard Grace Cave led the way with 17 off the bench. Guard Aaliyah Stanley added 15 points, guard Kennedi Grant had 12 and guard Polina Nikulochkina finished with 11. The game featured 12 tie-ups and nine lead changes. The Mavericks led 37-34 at the half, marking the first time this season the Coyotes’ have won a game while trailing at the half. South Dakota led by as much as eight, 52-44, after a Carley Duffney bucket near the end of the third quarter. The Mavericks climbed back and took the lead 55-54 less than two minutes into the fourth. USD trailed 64-59 when Holmes knocked down a 3-pointer to make it a one-possession game with less than two minutes to go in regulation. Larkins made the game-tying bucket off a spinning layup with 21 seconds to play. Omaha missed its attempt at a game-winning 3-pointer and Larkins came up with the defensive board. The Coyotes went on to outscore the Mavericks 11-5 in the overtime period and win 77-71. South Dakota shot 41.9 percent (9-of-26) from the floor and made 34.6 percent (9-of-26) from deep. Omaha shot at a 37.5 percent (24-of-64) clip. South Dakota returns to action Wednesday at Montana in the Coyotes’ first game of the Big Sky-Summit Challenge. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. Central in Missoula, Montana. Recap courtesy of USD Sports Information. Copyright 2023 KSFY.

Rising Ketamine Use among Youth: A Call for Stricter Regulations In an incident that shook the nation, Jeni Larmour, a fresh 18-year-old student, tragically met her untimely demise on her first night at Newcastle University, having consumed a lethal dose of ketamine. This heartbreaking occurrence has motivated Jeni’s mother, Sandra, to strive relentlessly for amplifying awareness among parents about the dangers of drug abuse and to push for more stringent government regulations against such substances. Ketamine Surge Amid Cost of Living Crisis The escalating use of ketamine, particularly among the youth, has been linked to its relative affordability and accessibility, especially during the existing cost of living crisis. The number of ketamine possession investigations has seen a massive increase of 89% since 2018, yet a meagre 31 dealers faced charges last year. This disparity raises questions about the effectiveness of the legal measures in place to combat the illicit drug trade. Government Action and Reclassification of Ketamine Addressing this grave issue, Policing Minister Chris Philp expressed that a possible review is being contemplated to reclassify ketamine, currently a Class B drug, as a Class A substance, should a systemic problem be identified. This move could potentially deliver a significant blow to the rampant use of this substance. Ketamine’s Popularity and Health Concerns Ketamine, initially used as an anaesthetic in veterinary medicine, has risen to become the fourth most popular illegal drug in the UK. Its widespread usage is alarmingly high among 16 to 24-year-olds. This growth in consumption has triggered concerns over its potential health impacts. Users may experience memory and concentration issues, and in severe cases, they can develop a condition known as ketamine cystitis, which severely affects the bladder. Experts also caution against the dangers of combining ketamine with other substances like alcohol and the risk of it being adulterated with other harmful drugs.

South Dakota falls to Omaha in New Year’s Eve battle in Vermillion VERMILLION, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Omaha started the game on an 11-0 run that spurred them to a 67-51 win over South Dakota inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center Sunday afternoon. Frankie Fidler was one of three Mavericks to score in double-figures with a game-high 27 points in helping Omaha (7-8, 1-1 Summit) to its first road win and league win of the season. He scored 15 of Omaha’s first 23 points early in the first half and went 8-of-15 from the field in just over 38 minutes of play. Lahat Thioune led South Dakota (8-7, 1-1 Summit) with his third-straight double-double (seventh of the season) of 15 rebounds and 12 points. Kaleb Stewart recorded his fourth-straight double-figure scoring game with 12 points. The Mavericks came out to a blistering 11-0 start, led by Fidler who went 2-of-3 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free throw line within the first minutes. Omaha held South Dakota scoreless until the 16-minute mark when one of Thioune’s second-chance attempts finally fell through the net. Omaha responded with seven-straight unanswered points, with Fidler adding five more to get him to double-digits early in the first half. South Dakota started to recover from the slow start and had cut Omaha’s lead down to seven at 26-19 with 6:34 to play before halftime. JJ White knocked down a triple to stop the Coyotes’ momentum and shift it back in Omaha’s favor. Stewart was blocked on a driving layup by Fidler which led to a fast break layup for Ja’Sean Glover to extend Omaha’s lead back to double digits at 33-23. The Mavericks took a 39-25 lead into the halftime break. The Coyotes came out of the halftime break and held Omaha scoreless through the first two and half minutes.

Senator Fetterman Exposes Social Media’s Toll on Mental Well-being U.S. Senator John Fetterman has openly discussed the impact of social media on his mental health, stating it accelerated his clinical depression. In a candid conversation on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Fetterman identified social media as an “accelerant” for his mental health condition, particularly following the 2022 election that led to an influx of online activity and comments concerning his family’s future. The surge of negative social media interactions compelled his family to suspend online posting, particularly of family photos, due to safety concerns. A Struggle with Depression: From Victory to Walter Reed Senator Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, unraveled his battles with depression, revealing the magnitude of his struggle in the days leading to his swearing-in ceremony. The Senator’s depression intensified after his stroke and subsequent Senate race victory, raising concerns among his family, especially for his children. In February, Fetterman checked into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for depression treatment. The move was a pivotal point in his struggle, as he battled not only his mental health condition but also the fear of public judgment that could potentially harm his career. The Impact of Social Media: A Cautionary Tale Fetterman highlighted the irony of strangers investing time to post negative comments about individuals they do not personally know, a phenomenon that became a catalyst for his mental health problems. The Senator, who now reports his depression as being in remission, has since modified his interaction with social media, using it more selectively and dedicating less time to it. This shift embodies his skepticism about the idea that social media can foster mental health, serving as a cautionary tale about its potential negative effects. Breaking the Stigma: Advocacy for Mental Health Fetterman’s public acknowledgment of his mental health struggles forms part of his broader advocacy to support others dealing with similar issues. By sharing his experiences, he aims to break the stigma surrounding mental health, urging others not to suffer in silence. He underscores the importance of seeking help and continues to speak out about mental health, offering guidance and hope to those facing similar challenges.

South Dakota State extend win streak over North Dakota to 16 BROOKINGS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - South Dakota State outscored North Dakota by nearly 30 points over the final 30 minutes of play on Sunday as the Jackrabbits defeated the Fighting Hawks, 80-61, in their Summit League opener inside Frost Arena. North Dakota jumped out to an early advantage by making four of its first five 3-point attempts. The Fighting Hawks held an 18-8 edge with 12 minutes remaining on the clock in the first half when SDSU began to find its rhythm. The Jackrabbits scored six points to get the margin into single digits and eventually tied the score at 28 on a William Kyle III layup with 4:46 on the clock. A steal by Matt Mims and transition layup briefly gave SDSU its first lead of the game, but a 3-pointer by UND’s Tyree Ihenacho put the Fighting Hawks back on top. Three free throws by Kyle III, along with a 3-pointer by Zeke Mayo, made up the remainder of the half’s scoring to give the Jackrabbits the 36-33 advantage going into the second half. The final 20 minutes of action in Frost Arena was all South Dakota State. South Dakota State held North Dakota to 27.6% from the floor, including a 1-for-15 clip from 3-point range, during the second half to pull away. A 9-0 run, capped by a Luke Appel layup, pushed the Jackrabbit lead into double digits at 45-35 just over three minutes into the half. The Fighting Hawks made it a seven-point contest (66-59) with 4:36 left on the clock, but an alley oop from Mayo to Kyle III ended the threat. The Jackrabbits improved to 7-7 overall and picked up their first conference victory of the season in front of a season-high crowd of 3,029 fans. The Fighting Hawks fell to 8-7 overall and 0-2 in league play. South Dakota State won the rebounding battle 38-35 despite trailing 17-13 in the category at the half. The Jacks shot a season-high 54% from the floor while holding the Fighting Hawks to a 31% mark. - Mayo led SDSU in the score column with 25 points on 8 of 13 shooting from the field. He also was 3-for-6 from 3-point range. Mayo led the Jackrabbits in rebounds (7) and assists (4) as well. - Kyle III matched his career high with 20 points. He was 7-for-10 from the floor while he grabbed five rebounds. - Joining them in double digits scoring were Appel (17) and Kalen Garry (10). Mims made his season debut for the Jackrabbits by playing 26 minutes and matched a team-high two steals with Mayo. - Ihenacho and Tsotne Tsartsidze led the Fighting Hawks in scoring and boards with 16 points and nine rebounds apiece. They were joined in double figures scoring by Eli King who recorded 11. - The Jackrabbits extended their winning streak over the Fighting Hawks to 16 consecutive victories. SDSU has won 20 of the last 21 meetings over UND dating back to the 2003-04 slate. - South Dakota State is now 10-7 all-time in Summit League openers as a member of the conference. The Jacks are 171-82 all-time in Summit League action. South Dakota State plays its final two non-conference games of the season consecutively as part of the Big Sky-Summit Challenge.

Skin-to-Skin Contact Enhances Mother-Infant Interaction Quality, Study Finds A breakthrough study published in JAMA Network Open has revealed that immediate skin-to-skin contact (SSC), also known as Kangaroo Care, between parents and very preterm infants can significantly enhance the quality of mother-infant interaction at 4 months of corrected age. The research, orchestrated by Siri Lillieskold, R.N., from the esteemed Karolinska Institutet, sheds light on an underexplored aspect of neonatal care. An In-depth Look at the Findings The study leaned on a secondary analysis of data garnered from a randomized clinical trial. This trial encompassed 71 infants and 56 mothers and offered an opportunity to delve deeper into the implications of SSC in the immediate aftermath of birth. The findings suggest that fathers were more likely to provide SSC in the first six hours post-birth. However, the infants in the group receiving SSC exhibited markedly higher quality mother-infant interaction in one of the five examined subscales. Underlying Aspects of SSC These subscales were meticulously crafted to assess various facets of infant development, including positive affect, communicative skills, and social aptitudes. The observed beneficial effects of SSC were found to be significant even after adjusting for variables such as primiparity, the child’s sex, and the observational setting. Implications for Preterm Infant Care The results of this study bolster the concept of a ‘sensitive period’ following very preterm birth. During this period, close contact between the parent and infant can trigger long-term positive effects on their relationship. The technique of SSC, first introduced in 1978, presents a natural, nurturing environment for the baby, stimulating their senses and regulating their physiology. It is a method recommended by the World Health Organization and can be provided by fathers and siblings as well, proving beneficial for all babies, irrespective of their health condition.

NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough has died, the racing company announced Dec. 31. He was 84. In his career, the Hall of Famer won three NASCAR Cup Series championships and was a four-time Daytona 500 winner and five-time Southern 500 winner. He had 83 cup wins under his belt, tying Jimmie Johnson for sixth place on the NASCAR Cup Series winner’s list. In an obituary posted by The Charlotte Observer, it was reported that the South Carolina native was in poor health and according to his family, was battling a rare genetic disorder. “Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest competitors NASCAR has ever seen,” NASCAR Chairman & CEO Jim France said in a statement. “His combination of talent, grit and determination separated Cale from his peers, both on the track and in the record book.” The statement continued, “He was respected and admired by competitors and fans alike and was as comfortable behind the wheel of a tractor as he was behind the wheel of a stock car.” Yarborough was born March 27, 1939, in Florence County, South Carolina, the oldest of three sons, according to an obituary shared by NASCAR. He was 11 when his father died, leaving him to take a bigger role in his family's business, a cotton and tobacco farm. When he was young, he was an amateur boxer and played football, receiving a scholarship to Clemson University. All the while, he raced cars during the summer months at local tracks. When given an ultimatum by Clemson coach Frank Howard, to pick between racing and football, he chose racing — and the rest is history. Yarborough was remembered on social media by fellow NASCAR legends, including Dale Earnhardt Jr, who posted a tribute on the social media site X. “Sad news about the passing of Cale today,” Earnhardt wrote alongside two photos posing with Yarborough. “A legend behind the wheel for sure, but he had a personality, grit, and swagger that attracted fans around the world to him and to Nascar. He truly made the sport far better for being a part of it. My heart goes out to his family.” In a tribute shared on X, Johnson remembered Yarborough as his “childhood hero.” “What an honor to be tied with the legend for 83 Cup series wins,” he wrote. “He was ‘the man’ and the legacy of Cale Yarborough will forever live on. My deepest condolences to Cale’s family.” Richard Petty, who bested Yarborough’s four Daytona wins with seven wins, shared a statement from his family on X, reading in part, “Richard Petty and The Petty Family extend their deepest condolences to the family of Cale Yarborough.” “His rivalry and competitive spirit with The King will always be a renowned part of NASCAR History, showcasing their mutual respect and the intensity of their competition on the track,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with the Yarborough family during this difficult time.”	https://www.today.com/news/cale-yarborough-dies-84-rcna131771	2024-01-01T00:45:51Z

Queen Margrethe II of Denmark will abdicate the throne after nearly 52 years. The queen made the surprise announcement in her annual New Year’s Eve address to the Danish public on Dec. 31, announcing that she would step down on Jan. 14, 2024. “I have decided that now is the right time. On 14 January 2024 — 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father — I will step down as Queen of Denmark,” the 83-year-old said in her speech, according to an English translation. “I leave the throne to my son Crown Prince Frederik.” The queen took the throne in 1972 after the death of her father, King Frederik IX. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, she was the longest-serving monarch in Europe. In 1953, she became heir to her father when a constitutional amendment allowed women to inherit the throne. In her speech, she cited health troubles for her decision to step down. “Such a long time does not pass without leaving its mark on anyone, including myself. Time takes its toll, and ailments increase. One no longer manages the same things as before,” she said. The queen said she had "extensive" back surgery earlier this year. While "everything went well," the operation led her to think about the future, she explained. The queen shares two children with her late husband, Prince Henrik of Denmark, who died in February 2018: Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, 55, and Prince Joachim of Denmark, 54. Frederik has four children with his wife, Crown Princess Mary: Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella, 16, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 12. Joachim had two sons with Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, whom he was married to from 1995 to 2005: Count Nikolai of Monpezat, 24, and Count Felix of Monpezat, 21. The prince also shares two children with his second wife, Princess Marie of Denmark, who he married in 2008: Count Henrik of Monpezat, 14, and Countess Athena of Monpezat, 11. In September 2022, the palace announced that the queen removed four of her grandchildren’s prince and princess and “His/Her Highness” titles. The decision changed Joachim’s children’s titles to count and countess. No changes were made to the titles of Frederik’s children. According to the palace, the queen’s decision was made with the hope that her grandchildren would be able to “shape their own lives to a much greater extent without being limited by the special considerations and duties that a formal affiliation with the Royal House of Denmark as an institution involves.”	https://www.today.com/news/royals/queen-margrethe-ii-denmark-abdication-rcna131768	2024-01-01T00:45:57Z

The Challenging Journey of Heart Transplant Patients: From Evaluation to Lifelong Commitment Heart transplants represent a vital lifeline for patients grappling with end-stage heart disease or severe heart failure. However, to be considered for this crucial procedure, patients must undergo a meticulous evaluation process meeting precise criteria. These include the capacity to withstand surgery, a life expectancy of less than a year without the transplant and a clean slate of other medical conditions that may complicate the surgical procedure or recovery process. The Eligibility Criteria The eligibility for a heart transplant is not merely a matter of heart health; it encompasses the overall health status of the potential recipient. Factors such as age, the presence of active infections or cancer can significantly impact eligibility. The evaluation process is stringent, ensuring that the transplant, if undertaken, has the highest chance of success. Preparation for the Transplant Once deemed eligible for a heart transplant, patients must prepare scrupulously. This preparation involves a series of tests, adherence to a healthy lifestyle, and potentially, modifications to medication regimens. Moreover, they must mentally brace themselves for a potentially protracted wait for a compatible donor heart and be prepared to undergo the transplant procedure at any given moment. The Psychological Aspect Pre-transplant preparation is not confined to physical health; it encompasses psychological well-being as well. Prospective recipients must undergo psychological evaluation and receive comprehensive education about the procedure, its inherent risks, post-operative care, and the lifelong commitment to medication to fend off organ rejection. The journey of a heart transplant patient is arduous, spanning from rigorous eligibility screenings to the lifelong commitment to health post-transplant.

(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic. In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers. How a Lease Buyout Works If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership. Residual Value in Today’s Market Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value. Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle. And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract. Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price. Additional fees include: - Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in. - State sales tax - Registration fees Can I Finance My Lease Buyout? You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer. Other Things to Consider Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it. Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease. Bottom Line Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

Shecky Greene, the legendary standup comedian known for his long tenure as a Las Vegas headliner and for working with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, died Dec. 31 at his home in the city. He was 97. Greene’s wife of 41 years, Marie Musso Greene, confirmed his death to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Greene was a regular on the TV talk show and guest star circuit in his 1960s and ’70s heyday, when he often sported a comb-over haircut and wide-lapel suits. Earlier in his career, he came to represent the epitome of the Rat Pack-adjacent comedian in a tux, delivering lightly risque or edgy anecdotal stories and zingers on stage. Greene was known for his many appearances on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and for working as the opening act for Sinatra in Miami and Presley in Las Vegas. During the 1962-63 season, he played a recurring character on the World War II-set ABC drama “Combat.” His other TV appearances included “Love, American Style,” “The Love Boat,” “Fantasy Island,” “Laverne & Shirley,” “The Fall Guy,” “The A-Team,” “Trapper John, MD,” “Roseanne” and “Mad About You.” His prominent film roles include “Splash,” Mel Brooks’ “History of the World: Part I” and “Tony Rome.” He guested on more than 60 episodes of “The Tonight Show,” including several outings as a guest host replacement for Carson. He also made a 1957 appearance on the show during Jack Paar’s run behind the desk. Greene also co-hosted and guest hosted “The Mike Douglas Show” and “The Merv Griffin Show.” He was a regular on game shows and variety shows ranging from “Tattletales,” “Hollywood Squares” and “Match Game” to “The Dean Martin Show” and “The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.” Greene hailed from the Chicago area. He served in the Navy during World War II, and got his start as a comedian in Milwaukee while attending college, according to Greene’s official website. Martha Raye recruited him to her nightclub in Miami. He later returned to Chicago to work the famed Chez Paree nightclub. Greene’s time with Sinatra inspired one of the comedian’s most oft-repeated jokes, playing on Sinatra’s reputation as a tough guy. “Frank Sinatra once saved my life,” Greene quipped. “A bunch of guys were beating on me and Frank said, ‘OK, that’s enough.’ ” (According to ABC News, “Sinatra wasn’t actually there, but the beatdown was real.”) Later in his career, Greene struggled publicly with mental health and substance abuse problems. In 1968, he famously drove his Oldsmobile into one of the fountains outside Caesars Palace and admitted he was drunk at the time. In the 1990s, Greene made a comeback after a long period of inactivity due to chronic depression, recalls Tony Angellotti, a longtime friend and former PR representative. “He came back roaring, filled the Wiltern Theater [in Los Angeles] on two nights and was invited by Jay Leno onto ‘The Tonight Show’ as a result. He started working after that regularly,” Angellotti told Variety. Greene had lived in Las Vegas since the 1950s. His long association with Sin City began in 1954 when he performed on the bill with singer Dorothy Shay at the New Frontier casino, according to the Review-Journal. His last performances in the city were in 2011, per the newspaper. Greene was renowned among comedians for his ability to work without a net or script. “The many times I was with him I was struck by two things — he never wrote down a joke, never bought a joke, just conjured them, remembered them and performed them,” said Angellotti, who now heads the Angellotti Co. public relations firm. “He loved to entertain. It didn’t matter. He’d call my mother up and sing some made up on the spot song and hang up. He’d take a birthday cake we bought him and put red frosting on his nose to make my young son laugh. He lived to make and hear people laugh. It’s a gift he gave all of us.” In 1978, Greene took out a full-page ad in weekly Variety to celebrate the signing of a rich new contract with Las Vegas’ Sands Hotel and Casino. “It has taken me 30 years of trial and error, triumphs and failures, good fortune and adversities to finally reach the apex of the first love of my profession — night clubs,” he wrote. In addition to his wife, Greene’s survivors include five adult children.	https://www.today.com/news/shecky-greene-dies-97-rcna131776	2024-01-01T00:46:03Z
The Hidden Cost of Fireworks: An Environmental and Health Concern As the world bids adieu to another year, a multitude of vibrant fireworks light up the sky, marking the commencement of a new beginning. An ancient tradition, deeply rooted in the annals of Chinese history, the spectacle of fireworks elicits a mix of joy and awe. However, beneath this dazzling display, there lurks an environmental and health concern that often goes unnoticed. The Legacy of Fireworks: A Brief History Fireworks, a quintessential part of New Year’s celebrations, trace their origin back to Liuyang, China, around the second century BC. The invention of gunpowder and subsequent chemical advancements over centuries have morphed these early natural firecrackers into the sophisticated pyrotechnics we marvel at today. Environmental and Health Implications of Fireworks Despite their mesmerizing beauty, fireworks have a darker side. Scientists and environmentalists have been voicing concerns about the negative impacts of fireworks on air quality and health. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, New Year’s Eve celebrations witness a sharp rise in air pollutants such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide. These pollutants pose significant health risks, particularly to those with chronic respiratory and heart conditions, the elderly, and children. In addition to this, the loud noises and intense flashes from fireworks can cause stress to pets, especially dogs and cats, due to their sensitive hearing and eyesight. The Debate Around Fireworks: Long-term Environmental Impact There is ongoing debate among experts about the long-term environmental effects of fireworks. While some studies suggest that pollutants from fireworks do not travel far and have a limited long-term impact on the environment and food chains, the immediate aftermath of a fireworks display can lead to localized soil contamination and a surge in air pollution levels. Regulating Fireworks: A Call for Action The situation in Bangladesh serves as an illustrative example of the challenges posed by fireworks and the lack of effective regulation. Despite the Noise Pollution Control Rules 2006, which set acceptable sound limits, violations are rampant, leading to increased noise pollution. The country’s legal framework for fireworks is woefully inadequate, highlighting the urgent need for robust regulatory provisions to prevent pollution and accidents caused by fireworks. In light of these concerns, the report suggests that the public could mitigate these issues by enjoying professional fireworks displays, which are fired at higher altitudes, thereby reducing pollution compared to personal, small-scale fireworks usage. As we welcome another year, it’s important to remember that our celebrations should not come at the expense of our environment and health.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WROC) — With an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot in a fifth consecutive season, the Bills did not begin the afternoon against the Patriots ideally. Rasul Douglas personally made sure the rest of the game went ok. Jalen Reagor returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown to give the Patriots an immediate 7-0 lead. Josh Allen even took a sack and fumbled on the next play. Douglas deflected a pass on the next Patriots drive and Ed Oliver made an incredible diving interception to set up a field goal. After a Buffalo punt, Douglas picked off Bailey Zappe himself for his third interception with the Bills. Buffalo kept the ball on the ground after the turnover and needed four plays to go 14 yards for a go ahead touchdown. Josh Allen snuck the ball in from a yard out to finish the short field drive and give the Bills their first lead. Christian Benford punched a ball out on the next Patriots drive and recovered the ball himself. That led to a second Tyler Bass field goal. Douglas struck again in early in the second quarter. The Bills sent an all-out blitz on a third and 11. Zappe tried a short, quick throw to avoid the blitz. His receiver went deep. Douglas did not. After a diving interception, Douglas returned the ball 40 yards for his first Bills touchdown. It’s already his second two interception game. Buffalo had a 20-7 lead. It didn’t last long. A 48 yard Kevin Harris catch and run on a great screen pass got the Patriots into the red zone. Zappe strolled in with a 17 yard scramble for a touchdown on the next snap and New England was back within a score. It remained a 20-14 game at the half. Buffalo restored some space with a strong drive to open the second half. Dalton Kincaid beat Kyle Duggar off the line and got free for a 51 yard connection. James Cook and Allen combined for five rushes and 13 yards that finished the drive. The Bills version of the Tush Push finally pushed the ball over the goal line for a 27-14 lead. After an exchange of punts, Zappe hit Reagor with a 39 yard pass that got the Patriots to the Bills 30 yard line. A Demario Douglas catch and run moved the ball inside the red zone and Jordan Poyer tacked on seven more with a ridiculous late hit. Ezekiel Elliott scored on the next play from six yards out and the Patriots had, once again, closed within a score. On the next possession, the Bills were unable to put point on the board after an Allen fumble on 3rd down near midfield forced them to punt. However, a fabulous punt by Sam Martin pinned the Patriots inside the five yard line. The Buffalo defense forced a three and out and the offense was able to run the final five minutes of the game off the clock to secure the win. Allen completed 15 of his 30 passing attempts for 169 passing yards to go along with an interception and two rushing touchdowns. Cook led the ground attack with 48 yards on 16 carries. Kincaid had a game-high 47 receiving yards on four catches while Khalil Shakir had 39 receiving yards. The Bills (10-6) will take on the Dolphins (11-5) next weekend where the winner will be crowned the AFC East champs.	https://www.localsyr.com/buffalo-bills/bills-survive-patriots-27-21-earn-4th-straight-win/	2024-01-01T00:46:07Z

The Baltimore Ravens are honoring Ray Rice, a former running back who was arrested nearly 10 years ago on domestic violence charges, a “Legend of the Game.” Rice, who will receive the recognition at Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, played six seasons with the Ravens before his career ended in 2014 — when he was caught on video in an elevator punching his then-fiancée (now wife) Janay Palmer so hard that she hit her head on a handrail, and then dragged her out of the elevator. Rice was part of the team’s 2013 Super Bowl win and was named to the Pro Bowl three times throughout his NFL career. The Ravens announced the decision in an article on the team’s website that detailed Rice’s accomplishments in football as well as his efforts at redemption. Neither Rice nor a spokesperson for the Ravens responded immediately to a request for comment. “Rice is being recognized for the player he was, and for the redemption he has worked towards,” the article stated. “Out of the public eye, Rice has been working on himself, his relationship, and within the community.” The article did not expand on the “incident” that shocked the nation and ended his career, but mentioned that it “put him in the center of a national conversation about domestic violence.” A grand jury had indicted Rice on charges of third-degree aggravated assault but the charges were dropped after he agreed to undergo court-supervised counseling. The NFL at first suspended Rice for two games, and later imposed a longer suspension. “I didn’t get it right,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a letter that year, in which he announced a more severe domestic violence suspension policy for the league’s players. “Simply put, we have to do better. And we will.” In an interview for the article on the team’s website, Rice tells the Ravens that he takes “full responsibility and accountability” for his actions in 2014. The article then details his efforts to unpack the incident, as well as his charitable community endeavors since he set out for redemption. “I truly understand why I was let go and why so many hearts changed. But hopefully people can see where I’m at now,” Rice told the Ravens. “They say people can change, right? I am not the same person I was 10-12 years ago. That’s just not who I am.” Still, the Legend of the Game announcement stirred contention online, with some Ravens fans expressing eagerness to move past the incident and others criticizing the decision to adorn him with such an honor. Some also reshared video of the incident to remind others of a moment that shocked viewers when it was first released. “I appreciate that Ray Rice has put in the work to better himself, his community, and his marriage,” one user posted on X. “However, one of the punishments for knocking your wife out in an elevator should be that you don’t get 70,000 people cheering your professional legacy.” This story originally appeared on NBCNews.com.	https://www.today.com/news/sports/baltimore-ravens-honor-ray-rice-controversy-rcna131770	2024-01-01T00:46:09Z

The respected doctor took the drastic step of jumping from the balcony of her 11th-floor residence in the Suncity Society, leaving the community in shock and grief. Tragic Incident Shakes Community Asal Agrawal, Dr. Agarwal’s husband, who serves in the Customs Department in Mumbai, was at home along with their toddler when the tragic incident unfolded.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) – It looks like 2023 goes out with snow for some, but will it impact your New Year’s Eve travel plans? The details are below… Any snow for New Year’s Eve? A weak weather system is approaching central New York, just in time for New Year’s Eve. Some light snow showers develop the first part of the night and make it about as far north as the south shore of Lake Ontario. The Tug Hill and especially the North Country look to remain dry New Year’s Eve. Where it does snow New Year’s Eve, any accumulations are light and temperatures are mostly above freezing through the evening, minimizing the impact on travel. Just keep an eye out on secondary roads and in general over higher elevations where roads could get a bit slick. This snow should taper before sunrise New Year’s Day. Quiet start to 2024 The system bringing us snow New Year’s Eve is passing to the south and east of central New York, so we expect quiet weather to start 2024 on Monday. There will be more clouds than sun, and temperatures will be seasonable. We have a better chance of seeing sun on Tuesday, perhaps even turning into a mostly sunny day for parts of the region. Temperatures respond accordingly as our highs will be around 40. Keep checking the latest 7-day forecast for updates.	https://www.localsyr.com/weather/storm-team-headlines/light-snow-for-some-new-years-eve/	2024-01-01T00:46:13Z

One Wisconsin 4-year-old woke up on the wrong side of the bed Christmas morning. Every year on Dec. 25, Archer's mom, Rachel Gaetz, sits downstairs to record her four kids' reactions to the presents under the tree. "We don't miss the reaction after we've put in the work and everything," Gaetz, 37, tells TODAY.com. But this year, her youngest son, who just turned 4 in December, wasn't thrilled about the 7 a.m. start to his day. In a video shared Gaetz shared to Instagram, Archer stomps into his family's living room with an exasperated expression. He completely bypasses the gifts under the tree and heads straight for the couch, where he falls headfirst onto a cushion and kicks his feet in the air. "Not a morning person... Not even a Christmas morning person," Gaetz wrote over the video. Gaetz, a photographer in Hudson, Wisconsin, says Archer is "a little unpredictable." "He doesn't really hide or fake his feelings," Gaetz says. "He can be so joyful and happy and funny... and then he can also be very expressive when he is displeased." On Christmas morning, Gaetz' kids were anxiously waiting upstairs to open presents — except for Archer. So one of his siblings proceeded to wake him up. "That's when you hear him stomping down the stairs," she says. Gaetz was downstairs when Archer was woken up, so "what you see in the video is exactly what I saw." "I think that's the funny part about kids, they're so un-staged and unscripted. Like, I couldn't have imagined this type of thing," she says. In the comment section of the post, which now has more than a million likes, adults felt seen by Archer. "I feel that deep in my bones," one person said. "this child is my spirit animal," another wrote. "He acts as if he’s going to work," a third comment said. One commenter suggested Gaetz dress Archer as the Grinch next year, adding “that walk is perfect.” Gaetz has her own theory about why it went viral. "I think it resonates because it encapsulates how we all feel at the end of 2023. I think he just kind of summed it up in his stomp and his collapse," she says. Despite Archer's initial exhaustion, Gaetz says he perked up "less than five minutes" after she took the video. His attention quickly shifted to his new Paw Patrol toys. "He changed his tune pretty quickly I would say," she says. "I love it because we're always going to remember this."	https://www.today.com/parents/cute/funny-christmas-morning-reaction-4-year-old-rcna131764	2024-01-01T00:46:15Z

Turks and Caicos Grapples with Dengue Outbreak Amid Heavy Rainfall In the wake of recent torrential rainfall, the Turks and Caicos Islands are grappling with a burgeoning outbreak of dengue fever. The Ministry of Health has issued a public health alert, stressing the imperative for immediate intervention to curb the spread of this disease. Over 80 suspected and confirmed cases reported have accentuated the severity of the situation. The Implication of Rainfall Significantly, the heavy downpours have led to an uptick in standing water, a favorable breeding ground for the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This mosquito is the primary vector of dengue fever, a stark reality that has the Ministry advocating for the diligent elimination of standing water in the community. Furthermore, the Ministry has underscored the importance of waste disposal that could potentially collect water and the cleaning of gutters as key preventative measures. Global Rise in Dengue Cases The current outbreak in Turks and Caicos is not an isolated incident. Globally, dengue cases are on the rise, with the Caribbean and Americas region reporting over 4 million cases this year alone. This escalating issue has prompted the consideration of innovative approaches to manage the outbreak and enhance vector control. Healthcare Sector and Public Cooperation The Ministry of Health has alerted the healthcare sector to be primed for a potential surge in dengue cases. Concurrently, public cooperation has been encouraged with vector control teams that may conduct inspections and initiate spraying in affected areas. The Ministry acknowledges that the public plays a pivotal role in the successful prevention of dengue spread, highlighting the necessity for a collective, community-wide effort to effectively address this outbreak.

Turks and Caicos Health Minister’s Plea: ‘Stay Home If Unwell’ Amid Holiday Season As the holiday season comes into full swing, the Turks and Caicos Minister of Health is urging individuals to prioritize their health and safety. The call to action is simple: if you’re feeling unwell, stay home. This advice comes in the midst of ongoing concerns surrounding communicable diseases, such as the flu and COVID-19, that pose significant risks, particularly during times of increased social gatherings. ‘Healthy Holidays’ Initiative In an effort to curb the spread of illnesses during the festive period, a ‘healthy holidays’ initiative is being promoted. The primary goal of this campaign is to foster an environment where the public can partake in the holiday season without compromising their health or the wellbeing of others. Combatting Flu and COVID-19 With the onset of the flu season, individuals are being advised to take proactive measures to prevent infection. This includes getting vaccinated, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and practicing sound hygiene.

Two-Year-Old Amelia Pepper Defies Odds Despite Rare Genetic Condition Amelia Pepper, a two-year-old girl from Newark, Nottinghamshire, has a unique genetic condition that sets her apart from anyone else in the world. This rare genetic sequence has left her with impaired vision and movement, but it hasn’t diminished her spirit nor her capacity to express herself. Despite initial warnings that Amelia would never talk, due to her exclusive genetic condition, she has defied the odds and now regularly speaks words such as ‘mum,’ ‘dad,’ and ‘hello.’ The Unprecedented Genetic Anomaly Amelia’s condition, an unbalanced chromosomal translocation, was discovered after her birth. This genetic anomaly has never been recorded before, making Amelia the only person known to have this condition. Her unique genetic sequence results in her needing to be tube-fed to avoid the risk of aspiration, and she has decreased muscle tone, which hinders her from sitting up, walking, or crawling unaided. Defying Expectations and Inspiring Hope Despite these challenges, Amelia’s progress has been inspiring. Her ability to communicate verbally has brought immense joy to her family and fortified their hope for her future. Her mother, Sian Lawrence, describes Amelia as a ‘miracle’ and is dedicated to providing her with a loving, supportive environment that encourages her development. Support and Future Prospects Amelia’s family is exploring future options to enhance her independence, such as the potential use of a wheelchair and communication technology. In addition to her family’s undying support, Amelia benefits from the Play Therapy Pod service provided by Newlife, the Charity for Disabled Children. The sensory toys supplied by the service aid in Amelia’s development, providing her with the tools she needs to continue defying expectations and inspiring others with her unique story.

Unjustifiable Tazocin Use Fuels Antimicrobial Resistance Concerns: Study King Fahad Specialist Hospital in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, has been spotlighted in a recent study for a high rate of inappropriate prescriptions of Piperacillin-Tazobactam (Tazocin) in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The study has thrown into sharp relief the overarching issue of antibiotic misuse and overprescription, contributing to the accelerating crisis of antimicrobial resistance. Unjustifiable Tazocin Prescriptions The retrospective analysis found that 66.6% of these Tazocin prescriptions were unjustified. Particularly striking was the oncology/palliative specialty, identified as the most flagrant offender, with a misuse rate of 90%. This inappropriate use of Tazocin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against various bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, contributes to the growing concern of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Guideline Deviation The evaluation of Tazocin prescriptions was conducted according to criteria set forth by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS). These criteria include factors such as previous isolation of P. aeruginosa, severe CAP, recent hospitalization, or use of parenteral antibiotics. The study revealed a significant deviation from these guidelines, bolstering the case for more rigorous antibiotic stewardship. Need for Antibiotic Stewardship In conclusion, the study underscores the urgent need for more stringent antibiotic stewardship to curb the unwarranted use of broad-spectrum antibiotics like Tazocin. The indiscriminate use of such potent drugs without justifiable indications is not only detrimental to individual health but also fuels the larger global issue of AMR. Therefore, better adherence to guidelines and prudent use of antibiotics are critical to mitigate the impact of AMR and ensure effective treatment of conditions like CAP.

Cale Yarborough, the first NASCAR driver to win three straight Cup Series championships, has passed away at age 84. No cause of death was announced as news of Yarborough’s passing went public on Sunday morning (Dec. 31). There was immediate reaction from many in the NASCAR community, starting with the sport’s Chairman and CEO, Jim France. “Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest competitors NASCAR has ever seen,” France said in a statement. “His combination of grit, talent and determination separated Cale from his peers, both on the track and in the record book. He was respected and admired by competitors and fans alike and was as comfortable behind the wheel of a tractor as he was behind the wheel of a stock car. On behalf of the France family and NASCAR, I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cale Yarborough.” Former Cup championship crew chief Todd Parrott was among others who weighed in on social media. The pride of Timmonsville, S.C., Yarborough had an adventurous upbringing that included being a high school football star and a Golden Gloves boxer. He attended the nearby 1951 Southern 500 at age 12 without a ticket, sneaking in through a hole in the fence around the Darlington Raceway property. Yarborough’s first NASCAR start would be in the very same race just six years later. It was the start of a career that would last over 30 years, in which Yarborough would win 83 Cup races and the 1976, 1977, and 1978 championships. Only Jimmie Johnson won more consecutive titles, a record set during the playoff era where points are reset before the end of the season. Yarborough won those with the Junior Johnson operation, catapulting the No. 11 car into one of the sport’s premier organizations for the next few decades. In eight years of driving for the team, from 1973-80, he won 55 times, earned those three titles and a 1977 Daytona 500 victory. Remarkably, Yarborough only ran eight full-time seasons in NASCAR, yet won three championships. After leaving Johnson’s operation following the 1980 season, he was the last part-time driver to find consistent success in Cup. Yarborough won multiple races from 1981 to 1985, including back-to-back Daytona 500s in 1983-84 as he chose to focus on his family instead of racing full-time. He also won a record-setting five Southern 500 races, a mark that was later broken by Jeff Gordon. In his last two seasons and following retirement, Yarborough focused on owning his own race team. Cale Yarborough Motorsports fielded a full-time Cup car from 1987 to 1999, unfortunately finding minimal success compared to his driving career. The team’s only win would come in the 1997 July race at the Daytona International Speedway with John Andretti. Perhaps most famously, Yarborough was a key component of the legendary 1979 Daytona 500. The finish, which involved Yarborough and the Allison brothers fist fighting on the backstretch after Donnie Allison and Yarborough wrecked racing for the lead on the final lap, put an exclamation point on the very first full-length live broadcast of a NASCAR 500-mile race. Richard Petty, the eventual winner of that race and the sport’s winningest driver, also weighed in on Yarborough’s passing Sunday morning. Yarborough was a 2012 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee.

WASHINGTON – Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump. Describing artificial intelligence as the "latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. “Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.” At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote. The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny. The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot. Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts. Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don't make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won't soon replace judges. At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines "whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote. Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”	https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2023/12/31/chief-justice-roberts-casts-a-wary-eye-on-the-uses-of-artificial-intelligence-in-the-federal-courts/	2024-01-01T00:46:43Z
Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14 STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik. The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX. Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.” Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.” The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer. A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit. As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds. Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics. Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign. She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris. Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne. He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim. Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries. The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis. But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.” While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future. “In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.” Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Unlocking the Potential of Health Savings Accounts: A Financial Strategy for Future Health Costs Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are an underutilized tool for long-term health care savings, despite being a triple tax-advantaged account offering tax-free contributions, growth, and withdrawals for medical costs. A survey by the Plan Sponsor Council of America revealed a mere 19% of HSA participants invest their funds, with the majority treating their HSAs akin to traditional bank accounts, keeping their money in cash. Financial Experts Advise Investing in HSAs This prevalent practice runs counter to financial experts’ advice to invest and maximize HSA funds, akin to managing a 401(k) retirement plan. According to Lee Baker, a certified financial planner and member of CNBC’s Advisor Council, an optimal strategy involves maintaining cash equivalent to one’s annual insurance deductible in the HSA, and investing the remaining funds. This approach allows the HSA to potentially increase in value over time, preparing for future health expenses. Barrier to HSA Investments However, not everyone can afford to pay current medical bills out-of-pocket to let their HSA funds grow. Moreover, about 40% of employers do not offer investment options for HSAs, only cash options. Employees are not restricted to their employer-provided HSA options and can open an HSA with different providers to access investment choices. This flexibility can unlock the potential of HSAs for long-term health care savings. HSAs: A Key Component for Retirement Planning HSAs are one of the seven crucial accounts for organizing retirement, along with checking accounts, high yield savings accounts, work retirement accounts, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA), Roth IRAs, and brokerage accounts. Careful planning is required to optimize retirement benefits, including considering tax implications and potential impact on Medicare premiums. HSAs offer a unique opportunity to save for future health-related costs in a tax-efficient way, making them a key component of comprehensive personal finance management.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (Shell Brasil), a subsidiary of Shell plc, announces the start of production of the FPSO Sepetiba in the Mero field, offshore Santos Basin in Brazil. The FPSO Sepetiba, also known as Mero-2, has an operational capacity of 12 million cubic meters of natural gas and 180,000 barrels of oil per day and is connected to six production and six injector wells to the field, in the first wave. Technology applied in the construction and operation of the FPSO will increase production efficiency and contribute to emissions reductions. "The FPSO Sepetiba development leverages our world-class partnership with Petrobras and reinforces our presence in one of the most productive fields in Brazil," said Zoë Yujnovich, Shell's Integrated Gas and Upstream Director. "This project aligns with Shell's Powering Progress strategy and our commitment to leverage increasingly efficient and competitive developments in our heartlands to provide safe, secure energy supplies today and for decades to come." The FPSO Sepetiba is located 180 kilometres from the coast of Rio de Janeiro in a water depth of 2,050 meters. Its predecessor, the FPSO Guanabara, also known as Mero-1, announced first production in April of 2022. The consortium plans to receive two more FPSOs by the middle of the decade. Shell's world-leading Deep Water business comprises two prolific basins in the US and Brazil and an exciting exploration portfolio, with a sustained track record of strong cash generation and operational performance. Notes to editors - Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. is a subsidiary of Shell plc. - Final Investment Decision (FID) on Mero-2 was announced in 2019. - The Mero field is part of the Libra Production Sharing Contract (PSC), signed in Dec 2013. Libra is located in the Santos basin, 150-180 km south of Rio de Janeiro in 1900-2100m of water depth. - SBM Offshore is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, mobilization, installation, and operation of FPSO Sepetiba, including topsides processing equipment as well as hull and marine systems. - Shell Brasil holds a 19.3 percent stake in Mero Unitized Field, along with Petrobras (operator), with a 38.6 percent stake, TotalEnergies (19.3 percent), CNPC (9.65 percent), CNOOC (9.65 percent), and PPSA (3.5 percent), representing the Government in the non-contracted area. Cautionary note The companies in which Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities. In this announcement, "Shell", "Shell Group" and "Group" are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words "we", "us" and "our" are also used to refer to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities. ''Subsidiaries'', "Shell subsidiaries" and "Shell companies" as used in this announcement refer to entities over which Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control. Entities and unincorporated arrangements over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as "joint ventures" and "joint operations", respectively. "Joint ventures" and "joint operations" are collectively referred to as "joint arrangements". Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to as "associates". The term "Shell interest" is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement, after exclusion of all third-party interest. Forward-Looking Statements This announcement contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Shell. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as "aim", "ambition", ''anticipate'', ''believe'', ''could'', ''estimate'', ''expect'', ''goals'', ''intend'', ''may'', "milestones", ''objectives'', ''outlook'', ''plan'', ''probably'', ''project'', ''risks'', "schedule", ''seek'', ''should'', ''target'', ''will'' and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this announcement, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell's products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, such as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak; and (n) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc's Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, December 19, 2023. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement. Shell's net carbon intensity Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell's "Net Carbon Intensity", which includes Shell's carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers' carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers' carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell's "Net Carbon Intensity" is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries. Shell's net-Zero Emissions Target Shell's operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell's operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell's operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target. Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as [cash capital expenditure] and [divestments]. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc's consolidated financial statements. The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement.

STANFORD, Calif. – Freshman guard Kanaan Carlyle scored 25 points, Spencer Jones added 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and Stanford surprised No. 4 Arizona 100-82 in a Pac-12 matchup Sunday. Andrej Stojakovic scored 16 points and center Maxime Raynaud had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinal (6-6, 1-1), who made a school-record 16 3-pointers in the victory. Caleb Love led Arizona (10-3, 1-1) with 23 points and center Oumar Ballo added 12 points and seven rebounds. The victory was Stanford’s first over a ranked opponent since beating Arizona last season and its eighth over a ranked team since 2020. “I think this will absolutely be the peak moment of this season for 2023,” Stanford coach Jerod Haase said. “For 2024, we're going to start from scratch and see new peaks and new highs. Usually I tell them to enjoy the win until midnight. This time I told them they could enjoy this one for the rest of the year.” Stanford raced to an early lead, scoring the first seven points. After Ballo made a layup to bring the Wildcats within a point at the 6:56 mark of the first half, Stanford went on a 21-7 run for a 43-28 lead with under three minutes left in the first half. The Cardinal got a big boost from both of its freshman guards off the bench in the first half. Carlyle scored 13 of his 25 points in the first half while making all four of his 3-point shots. Stojakovic scored nine points and grabbed two rebounds. Haase praised his young players and said they were a big part of the win. “(Kanaan) was fearless out there,” Haase said. “With Kanaan and Andre, their eyes are full of wonder and excitement. I think we can all feed off that.” Arizona struggled to find a its rhythm in the first half, shooting 41.2% from the field and 25% from long distance. Stanford led 44-35 at halftime. Stanford's hot shooting continued in the second half. Jones scored 11 of the Cardinal's first 16 points after halftime. Arizona closed within 11 points at 80-69 when Ballo made a second-chance layup with just over seven minutes left in the game. A layup by Jones gave Stanford a 95-75 lead with 2:57 left in the second half for its largest advantage of the game. The win could give Stanford a huge confidence boost as it will go on a three-game trip against UCLA, USC and Oregon State in the coming weeks. “The people in the locker room all believe what we can do,” Stojakovic said. “We knew we were able to accomplish a win like this. We had a couple games not go our way, but I think this one was finally the game to show that we are one of those teams and we can make a lot of noise in the Pac-12.” The Wildcats, who are third in the country in fast-break points per game (18.67), were held to just six points in transition by Stanford. Arizona made just seven of its 26 3-point shots and allowed Stanford to make 58.1% of its shots. “They outplayed our guys," Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said. "I don't care who it was, they outplayed us.” UP NEXT Stanford: At UCLA on Wednesday. Arizona: Home against Colorado on Thursday. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on AP Top 25 basketball throughout the season.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Panthers owner David Tepper threw the contents of a drink into the visiting crowd near the end of Carolina’s 26-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday. Tepper’s reaction came after rookie Bryce Young was intercepted with less than 3 minutes to play. It was unclear whether Tepper was reacting to something said to him or the latest miscue for the team with the NFL’s worst record. General manager Scott Fitterer was standing near Tepper when he tossed the remnants of his drink while watching the game from a club suite. The Panthers (2-14) dropped to 0-9 on the road and were shut out for the first time since losing to Atlanta in Week 12 in 2002. They also clinched the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft in April — a selection that will go to Chicago. Nothing went right in this one for Carolina, and had Jacksonville not gone 1 for 5 scoring in the red zone, the outcome likely would have been way more lopsided. Bryce Young completed 19 of 32 passes for 112 yards, with an interception, and was sacked six times. He now has been sacked a whopping 59 times. “Yeah, not fun. Not fun at all,” Young said. “It’s on us. It’s what we put out. It’s our tape. It’s what we did. We own it, accept it. It is what it is, but it’s not fun.” Carolina had issues before the coin flip. Kicker Eddy Pineiro injured his right hamstring in pregame warmups and was unable to go. Starting linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill handled the opening kickoff, and interim coach Chris Tabor kept his offense on the field for a fourth-and-7 play in normal field-goal range on the team’s opening drive. Young was sacked and took a shot to his back. He spent several minutes getting checked on the sideline and returned in time for the next series. “Obviously when there’s only one kicker on your 48, that’s a tough deal,” Tabor said. Cornerback Jaycee Horn (toe) also was a late scratch after going through warmups. Horn had been scheduled to play, and Tabor even made CJ Henderson inactive. But Horn couldn’t go, so Shaquill Griffin was thrust into the starting lineup. Griffin was burned for a 48-yard gain, part of a lackluster performance all around for the visitors. “I’m disappointed, obviously, and that’s a pretty generic answer,” Tabor said. “Did not see it coming. I will tip my hat to the Jaguars. The way we were trending, I did not see this performance coming down. “We never got on track. We talked a lot about starting fast this week, and we did not do that. ... How are you going to deal with it? There’s only two choices: It’s either character or compromise. Those are questions for everybody.” The Panthers had more injury issues during the game. Guard Cade Mays left with a finger injury and then linebacker Marquis Haynes, a sixth-year pro who grew up in Jacksonville, was carted off the field in the third quarter with a concussion. He was taken to a hospital for further testing and did not fly home with the team. Haynes flashed a thumbs-up sign to the crowd as he left the stadium. It was one of the few occasions Carolina fans had to cheer. The Panthers finished with 124 yards, were 1 of 13 on third down and had defensive lineman Derrick Brown ejected along with Jacksonville left tackle Cam Robinson late in the fourth. They ripped off each other's helmets after a play. “Missed opportunities. Just execution top to bottom,” Young said. “There’s a long list of stuff I’ve got to do better, and then offensively we all take responsibility. We all look in the mirror, and I think ‘disconnected’ is a good word. “Just wasn’t executing, wasn’t translating, and as far as the offense, that’s on me.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl	https://www.ksat.com/sports/2023/12/31/panthers-owner-david-tepper-tosses-drink-into-visiting-stands-late-in-26-0-loss-to-jaguars/	2024-01-01T00:46:57Z

Miami traveled to M&T Bank Stadium Sunday afternoon hoping to knock off a Baltimore Ravens squad with the best record in the NFL (13-3). Through fifteen minutes, the Dolphins were moving the ball well on offense, had forced a punt on defense and led 10-7. With just over three minutes to play in the first half, Miami no longer led, but trailed just 14-13 after a field goal from kicker Jason Sanders. That's when the game unraveled. The Dolphins offense stalled and Baltimore scored 21 straight points in under 4:30 of game time spanning from the end of the first half to the start of the third quarter to open up a 35-13 lead. Miami (11-5) got back within two possessions early in the fourth quarter on a one-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to running back De’Von Achane, but would not get any closer. The Ravens added three touchdowns in the final ten minutes to win 56-19. Tagovailoa passed for 237 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while Achane tallied 14 carries for a game-high 107 yards (7.6 avg.) and added four receptions for 30 yards (7.5 avg.) and a touchdown, his 10th total score of the season. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill led Miami with six receptions for 76 yards (12.7 avg.), bringing his season total to 1,717, a new franchise record. The Dolphins got the quick start they were looking for as four of the team's first five offensive plays went for 12+ yards. Tagovailoa delivered a quick eight-yard pass to wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. on third-and-goal to put Miami up 7-0. Baltimore responded immediately with a similarly efficient drive and quarterback Lamar Jackson tied the game with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Justice Hill. Just as Miami looked like it would score another quick touchdown on its second drive, Baltimore caught a break as Hill beat his defender but bobbled a would-be touchdown catch. Miami settled for a 27-yard field goal to go up 10-7 with 3:39 left to play in the first quarter. After Baltimore took the lead on a one-yard run from running back Gus Edwards, Sanders connected on his second field goal - this one from 38 yards out - to cut Miami's deficit to 14-13 with just over three minutes to play in the half. Baltimore then forced three takeaways and used a strong display from Jackson, who finished with five touchdown passes and a perfect 158.3 passer rating, to outscore Miami 42-6 the rest of the way and get the win. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler forced a fumble and recorded his third straight game with a sack. Miami returns to Hard Rock Stadium next week for its regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills (10-6). The Dolphins can clinch the AFC East for the first time since 2008 with a victory.	https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/game-recap-dolphins-start-hot-can-t-keep-up-with-ravens-in-road-loss	2024-01-01T00:46:58Z
