NFL Week 17 Recap: Home field Advantage, Division Titles at Stake Today
Happy New Year! As we wind down to the final week of the 2023 NFL regular season, there’s plenty at stake.
Going into Sunday morning, 17 teams are in limbo, alive for playoff spots but not guaranteed. There are also the seven teams that have clinched, with the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions having wrapped up their divisions. With wins this weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers can join them, assuring themselves of at least one home playoff game.
As for Sunday’s action, the best game features the Ravens and Dolphins at M&T Bank Stadium. If Baltimore wins, it not only wins the AFC North but also clinches home field advantage throughout the playoffs for the first time since 2019. If Miami wins, the AFC East is polished off, and the Dolphins can take the No. 1 seed with a Week 18 victory over the Bills.
All that said, let’s get to the insights and reactions from Week 17.
This piece will be updated throughout the day …
SATURDAY
Cowboys 20, Lions 19
- What it means for Lions: Detroit (11–5) should be furious. Bad officiating robbed it of an opportunity to potentially host multiple playoff games without needing higher seeds to lose. Instead, it’s incredibly likely the Lions will only host the wild-card round and draw the dangerous Rams led by former Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford. The road just got tougher through no fault of the Lions.
- What it means for Cowboys: Dallas (11–5) kept its hopes alive for the NFC East crown, however faint they are. The Cowboys should feel good about the win, while also acknowledging bizarre coaching and poor game management is a huge concern heading into January. If the Cowboys are ever going to reach another NFC title game, those mistakes have to be eliminated.
THURSDAY
Browns 37, Jets 20
- What it means for Jets: Just another ugly, forgettable loss from a bad, forgettable team. New York (6–10) was supposed to be a contender this season, but that dream was gone four offensive snaps into the campaign. With Aaron Rodgers slated to return in 2024, hope will renew in Gotham, but the Jets need so much help, including a new offensive line, a litany of weapons and an answer on whether Robert Saleh is the right coach. So many questions, so few answers.
- What it means for Browns: Cleveland (11–5) should be elated. The Browns clinched only their third playoff berth since being reintroduced to the NFL in 1999. And it happened in a year where almost nothing has gone right. Both tackles have missed huge chunks of the year. Cleveland lost Nick Chubb to an ugly knee injury in October. The Browns have started four quarterbacks, but the fourth, Joe Flacco, has turned into a cult hero. Flacco has thrown for more than 300 yards in four of his five starts, and has people thinking Super Bowl on the shores of Lake Erie. What a run.

Quarterback Brock Purdy has changed the San Francisco 49ers completed since joining the organization. In Week 17 against the Washington Commanders, Purdy made sure to write his name in the 49ers record books in pen.
Purdy reached 4,280 passing yards in San Francisco's matchup against Washington. He has now beaten out Jeff Garcia for the most passing yards in a single season by a 49ers quarterback, via Dave Lombardi of The Athletic.
Overall, Purdy completed 22-of-28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns. The 49ers moved to 12-4 on the season with a 27-10 victory.
Purdy makes history
San Francisco was taking a dart throw when they drafted Purdy with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. They had already invested the No. 3 overall pick a year prior. However, the 49ers have struck gold and have found their QB in Purdy.
Heading into Week 17, Purdy has gone 20-4 as a starter. Over 24 appearances total, Purdy had thrown for 5,424 yards, 42 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. This season he has earned MVP praise, throwing for 4,050 yards, 29 touchdowns and 11 interceptions; before they took on the Commanders.
Whether Purdy gets some extra hardware is one thing, but San Francisco has bigger goals. After watching Purdy get injury in the NFC Championship Game last season, the 49ers want revenge. With their quarterback now healthy, the 49ers want to prove they can represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
Of course that won't be an easy task. Teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions will be pesky competitors. But the 49ers have put their trust into Purdy and is hoping he can lead another deep playoff run.
So far, he has proven he is up for the task. As San Francisco finishes out their regular season, Brock Purdy will be adding onto his now record-setting passing totals. | https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-brock-purdy-breaks-jeff-garcia-passing-record | 2024-01-01T03:13:24Z |
Who hasn’t looked at the Le Creuset-branded kitchenware and wondered whether the $600 price tag is worth it? I certainly have.
But sadly I don’t spend enough time in the kitchen to warrant dropping a huge wad of cash on pastel-coloured homewares, no matter how beautiful they would look on the benchtop.
That doesn’t mean I have to miss out though.

Florida man arrested for deliberately hitting deer, filming it for TikTok: police
A Florida man was arrested Thursday after he intentionally ran over a deer and filmed it for TikTok, police say.
Geneva resident Clay Kinney, 27, was charged with five counts of animal torment and one count of animal torture. He was also charged with one count of a moving traffic violation.
An affidavit from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, which was obtained by FOX 35 Orlando, explained that police were investigating Kinney after they learned of the video. The footage reportedly showed Kinney attempting to run over a group of five deer, and fatally striking one.
On Thursday, a detective spotted Kinney in a Chevy Tahoe, which was the same car the suspect reportedly drove in the video. The officer made a traffic stop and spoke with Kinney.
FLORIDA MAN SHOOTS, KILLS HALF-BROTHER WHO WAS LOOKING FOR LOST CELL PHONE ON CHRISTMAS
During their interaction, Kinney admitted that he was driving without a valid license.
"[The detective] made contact with the driver, Clay Kinney, who acknowledged he did not have a driver's license due to the fact it was suspended," the affidavit read. "[The detective] conducted the stop with knowledge of his suspended license and conducted an interview in regards to the video which Clay Kenney [sic] posted to TikTok where he intentionally used his vehicle to drive over deer."
REWARD RAISED TO $10K FOR LEAD TO SUSPECT ACCUSED OF KILLING MAN INSIDE FLORIDA MALL
"During the video, Clay Kinney attempted to run over five deer in total [but] was only able to hit one deer with his vehicle," the document added.
Seminole County Sheriff's Office is actively investigating the incident. No additional details are known at this time.
Fox News Digital reached out to TikTok for comment, but has not heard back.

Foster’s strong display for Burnley raises questions over Afcon withdrawal
Lyle Foster's strong performance for Burnley in their 3-2 Premier League defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday has raised questions over his withdrawal from the Bafana Bafana squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Foster, one of the most promising strikers to emerge from South Africa since Benni McCarthy, wrote a letter to the South African Football Association declaring he would be unavailable for next month's Nations Cup due to his battles with mental health.
The striker's strong performance helping his 10-man team run Villa close away from home has left South Africans further dismayed by the Orlando Pirates youth product's withdrawal from the squad announced by Bafana coach Hugo Broos on Friday.
With Burnley down to 10 men after Sander Berge's 56th-minute dismissal Foster ran onto Jóhann Guðmundsson's flick-on and produced a low finish past Villa's Argentine World Cup-winning keeper Emiliano Martínez for his team's second equaliser in the 71st.
Brazilian Douglas Luiz scored Villa's last-gasp winner from the spot in the 89th.
Aston Villa vs Burnley highlights.
Foster played the full 90 minutes, where, as he has been in most of his 12 appearances where he has scored four goals this season, he was often the focal point of Burnley's attack.
Foster has only recently returned from a seven-week break as mental health issues he has been treated with at previous club KVC Westerlo in Belgium and Burnley resurfaced. He has played in the Clarets' last four games.
The goal against Villa was his first since his return.
Broos and Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, a former player of the Bafana coach, have a close relationship and have made agreements in the past on Foster's appearances for Bafana.
In May the striker was left out of the Bafana squad for the 2-1 dead rubber Nations Cup qualifying win against Morocco, with Broos having made a deal with Kompany that Foster would be free to turn out for the national team on big occasions.
Foster's battle with mental health and depression is a major issue in his career and needs all the attention it can get for the striker to flourish as a footballer and person.
But if Bafana bomb out at the Nations Cup, and Foster keeps impressing in the Premier League, there will be questions over the relegation-threatened club's decision to withhold the striker from the tournament. | https://www.dispatchlive.co.za/sport/2023-12-31-fosters-strong-display-for-burnley-raises-questions-over-afcon-withdrawal/ | 2024-01-01T03:13:24Z |

Shakespearean debut to be made at Astana Opera
In S. Prokofiev's popular ballet, Olzhas Makhanbetaliyev is preparing to perform an impressive character role of Tybalt - a fierce troublemaker and unrelenting guardian of the Capulet family honor. The composer created particularly expressive musical images of the characters in the score, including the figure of the somber, ruthless Tybalt. One of the most memorable moments in the ballet is the scene of the deadly battle between Tybalt and Mercutio. In order to convey the hero's personality in the language of ballet, it is important for the dancer to use correct plastique of the body frame, broad, amplitude movements, to show his character's stateliness and nobility in every gesture, every turn of the head.
"Tybalt is the heir to a noble family, from an early age he was taught to protect his loved ones, to be the head of the family. He strives to be always in control of himself, to comport himself in accordance with his position and upbringing. However, he can be overly arrogant and cold. When the situation gets out of his control, because of his naturally hot-blooded personality and quick temper, Tybalt flies off the handle and simply 'explodes'. Thus, he often gets into duels. Incidentally, the fight scenes are choreographically complex; each movement must be very precise. A technique of small movements is often used in Charles Jude's production. This is a characteristic feature of the European school of ballet, which is very different from ours," Olzhas Makhanbetaliyev noted.
Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Madina Basbayeva will perform the part of young Juliet; Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Tair Gatauov will portray her beloved Romeo. Mercutio - Serik Nakyspekov, Paris - Yerkin Rakhmatullayev, Benvolio - Nikolay Korshunov. The Artistic Director of the Astana Opera Ballet Company is the world-famous prima, People's Artist of Russia Altynai Asylmuratova.
Music Director of the production Maestro Giuseppe Aquaviva will conduct the Astana Opera Symphony Orchestra. Libretto by Charles Jude based on the tragedy of the same name by William Shakespeare. Set Designer is an outstanding theatre designer Ezio Frigerio, Costume Designer is the Academy Award winner Franca Squarciapino, Lighting Designer is Vinicio Cheli, Projections Designer is Sergio Metalli.
The performances will begin at 19:00. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/shakespearean-debut-to-be-made-at-astana-opera_a3497707/ | 2024-01-01T03:13:25Z |
Officiating Crew From Lions-Cowboys Expected to Be Left Out of NFL Playoffs, per Report
The ending of the Dallas Cowboys' 20—19 win over the Detroit Lions was mired in controversy after Detroit's potential game-winning two-point conversion was wiped off the board by a penalty on offensive lineman Taylor Decker, who was called for illegal touching on the play.
The officials determined that Decker failed to report himself as an eligible receiver before the play, despite replays showing the Lions lineman approaching referee Brad Allen and presumably doing so before the play.
It's not the first time in that game—or this season—that Allen and his crew have come under fire for their officiating. The NFL is taking action, as Allen's crew is expected to be downgraded, something that will affect their status for the NFL postseason, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Allen, an NFL referee since the 2014 season, and his crew also incorrectly flagged the Cowboys for a tripping penalty before the controversial final play in the fourth quarter.
The crew has drawn criticism for missing an obvious pass interference call at the end of the Chiefs-Packers game back in Week 13, as well as several other rulings from this season.
It appears that the NFL is taking steps to ensure that these officials won't be anywhere near this season's most important games.

With a little help from the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers have clinched the NFC's No. 1 overall seed for the playoffs. When Brock Purdy found out that 49ers had clinched the top seed, he said it was a moment he had been waiting his whole life for.
He wasn't in the most scenic of places, as the 49ers watched the end of the Eagles' game huddled up around a TV in the locker room. Once the Arizona Cardinals sealed their 35-31 win over the Eagles, the whole locker room went wild. It was a moment Purdy said he dreamt of when he was a kid, via David Lombardi of The Athletic.
Of course San Francisco played a role in their accomplishment. They had watched their clinching moment after taking down the Washington Commanders, 27-10 away from home. Purdy completed 22-of-28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns.
At 12-4, the 49ers now hold the best record in the NFC. Only the 13-3 Baltimore Ravens have a better record. San Francisco has played like a team at the top as their defense ranks seventh in the NFL, allowing 306.8 yards per game. Their offense has been even better, ranking second behind just the Miami Dolphins, averaging 404.6 YPG.
As the No. 1 seed, the 49ers have clinched a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. It could be the boost San Francisco needs to get them into the Super Bowl. Brock Purdy felt like he was living in a dream celebrating the No. 1 seed with his teammates in the locker room.
But leading your team to the Super Bowl would certainly leave a forever-lasting memory for Purdy and everyone on the 49ers. | https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-brock-purdy-reacts-san-francisco-clinch-no-1-seed-eagles | 2024-01-01T03:13:30Z |

When I first made the switch from Olaplex to the K18 hair mask I couldn’t believe anything more powerful could exist for restoring heavily bleached and beach dried-out locks.
But I was wrong because it only took one singular application for my life — and hair — to be changed for the better.
The downside? This faithful mask will set you back a pretty penny so it’s important to stock up when you can.
Catch the best deals and products hand-picked by our team at Best Picks >>
While it usually costs upward of $99.50 for 50ml Amazon has currently slashed the price by 23 per cent to $76.25.
So what makes K18 so special and why do I swear by it?
Unlike regular conditioner, you apply two to three pumps outside of the shower to towel-dried locks and leave it in the hair — where it gets to work within just four minutes.
The K18 peptide (the product’s star ingredient) works to mimic the structure of the hair’s natural keratin in order to boost moisture and promote thicker hair.
The peptide has also been cleverly designed to repair broken hair and improve your locks’ overall strength according to the brand.
Personally, I’ve noticed significant improvements in the condition of my hair since I started using it and I now won’t use any other brand.
But you don’t need to take my word for it.
Reviews on the Amazon website are similarly glowing, where there are more than 7,000 five-star reviews.
“Hair saver,” one shopper wrote.
“A member of my family had a terrible experience at a hair salon where they completely trashed her hair with bleach and other products.
“She was so upset so, based on the recommendation of my stepdaughter, I sent her some of this to use.
“After just one use, she said it completely transformed her hair — made it easier to comb through, brought back the smoothness and managed to do in just one application what she’d be trying to do with lots of other products for days. Highly recommend.”
Another added: “As someone who bleaches and dyes their hair all sorts of vibrant colours, it’s safe to say without K18, I wouldn’t have any hair left.
“It has repaired my hair and makes it feel softer and stronger.”
While a third said simply: “If your hair is damaged at cellular level, you need this!
“This is the only product that works in actually repairing your hair at cellular level. I know it’s expensive, but you will not find another product like it. Just buy it”.

Glynn County man confesses to drive-by shooting, police say
Glynn County police say a 21-year-old man confessed to shooting at a family from his car last week.
On Tuesday, Dec. 26, police responded to a shooting call that happened just before 3:30 p.m. near the Sydney Lanier Bridge.
The victim told police that he, his wife, and two small children were driving north on Highway 17.

The man said while approaching the area of the port, two vehicles pulled out in front of him, causing him to slam on his brakes.
One of the vehicles sped away, while a silver sedan pulled up next to him and fired shots.
Police say one of the rounds struck the man but did not penetrate him.
Another shot hit his wife in the neck.
She was treated at a hospital for her injury.
The man refused treatment and the children were not injured in the shooting.

Sharm el-Sheikh locals lament ‘wall' going up around resort
Despite photographic evidence to the contrary, the governor of South Sinai denied a wall was being built.
"It's not a wall, who told you it's a wall. We don't have a wall," said General Khaled Fouda. The project, he said, consisted of a mix of high concrete barriers and at least 37km (23 miles) of razor-wire fence, with "four very beautiful doors" to access the town.
It was intended to "beautify and secure Sharm el-Sheikh", he said. "We are doing this for the future. The project will help Sharm el-Sheikh recoup lost tourism revenues."
Photos and video show the construction of a concrete barrier estimated to be up to six metres high, which residents fear will encircle the perimeter of the town.
Similar plans for a wall around the town were considered by the South Sinai authorities in 2005 but scrapped. Fouda declined to state why the project had been revived.
Kelly Walmsley, a manager at the Rixos resort in Sharm el-Sheikh, said she had not been informed about the work. "To be honest, nobody really understands what's going on," she said.
A resident, who asked not to be named, said checkpoints and cameras already surrounded the town to provide security. "For us residents, it's ridiculous. The beauty of the place is being covered up with a fence. Sharm el-Sheikh is well-known for its mountains and desert - this thing will destroy the view," the resident said. "This security barrier isn't going to make a difference, it will just annoy people more and it won't stop terrorism. It's a joke. Any tourist coming out of the city will be worried they're not safe - this will affect tourism."
The wall will also cut off Bedouin communities in the surrounding desert area, a likely point of contention especially after authorities enlisted the Bedouin to help combat jihadi elements elsewhere in Sinai. "This wall tells the Bedouin that they're not part of the community - it sends the message that they're not worth protecting from terrorism," said the resident.
A ban on direct flights from the UK to Sharm el-Sheikh is still in place after the jet attack. The Egyptian authorities have since enhanced security measures at Sharm el-Sheikh airport, hoping for the return of flights from Russia and the UK. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/sharm-el-sheikh-locals-lament-wall-going-up-around-resort_a3500883/ | 2024-01-01T03:13:32Z |
Queen Margrethe of Denmark Will Abdicate After 52 Years on the Throne
Shortly after the ringing in of the new year, a new era will begin for the Danish monarch—as Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has announced her abdication.
The monarch, 83, revealed her intention to step down from the throne on Jan. 14 during her annual New Year's Eve speech. The news was also announced on the Danish royal family's website.
"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," she said during her Dec. 31 speech. "I leave the throne to my son, Crown Prince Frederik."
Queen Margrethe also explained her reasons for abdicating, noting that 52 years of rule "takes its toll, and the number of ailments increases. One cannot undertake as much as one managed in the past."
She continued: "In February this year I underwent extensive back surgery. Everything went well, thanks to the competent health personnel, who took care of me. Inevitably, the operation gave cause to thoughts about the future—whether now would be an appropriate time to pass on the responsibility to the next generation."

In July, Queen Margrethe officially became the country's longest-reigning monarch. She succeeded her late father, Frederik IX, in January 1972.
Frederick, Crown Prince of Denmark, 55, is married to Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, 51. They share two children, Christian, Prince of Denmark, 18, and Isabella, Princess of Denmark, 16.
Queen Margrethe finished her speech by expressing gratitude.
"The support and assistance which I have received throughout the years, have been crucial to the success of my task," she said. "It is my hope that the new King and Queen will be met with the same trust and devotion which have fallen to my lot."

San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey suffered a calf injury in the Week 17 win over the Washington Commanders. McCaffrey was initially listed as questionable and was then seen getting tape applied to the back of his calf on the sidelines, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 49ers star was also seen walking around with his helmet on, per The Athletic's David Lombardi, so it seems he wanted to return.
But with the 49ers up big, there was no reason to risk it. San Francisco earned a 27-10 victory and then the No. 1 seed in the NFC after the Philadelphia Eagles' loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Afterward, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he thinks McCaffrey will be okay.
While this injury doesn't seem to be too serious, it's still something to monitor as the 49ers finish up their regular season. McCaffrey is having an incredible campaign and is an MVP candidate along with teammate Brock Purdy, bolstered by the fact that he has actually been healthy. After dealing with injury problems in the 2020 and 2021 seasons, the 49ers star hasn't missed a game in the last two years.
Christian McCaffrey's MVP-caliber season
Christian McCaffrey has been an absolute monster since the 49ers acquired him from the Carolina Panthers last year. This season, McCaffrey is running away with the rushing title, entering play Sunday with just under 1,400 rushing yards and 14 scores on the ground. He had 14 carries for 64 yards against Washington.
Of course, McCaffrey is also a threat in the passing game. The 49ers running back entered Week 17 with 63 catches for 537 yards and seven touchdowns, and he added four catches and 27 yards to that tally in Week 17.
McCaffrey is first in the NFL with 21 total touchdowns. He also leads the league in yards from scrimmage and went over 2,000 for the season against Washington. | https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-christian-mccaffrey-dealing-calf-injury-commanders | 2024-01-01T03:13:36Z |

Harrison Township resident explains what he saw during Amazon van theft
Several families might not receive their packages on time this week because someone stole an Amazon delivery van Sunday afternoon.
>>PREVIOUS COVERAGE: ‘Took off with it;’ 911 call released after Amazon delivery van stolen in Harrison Twp.
Shortly after 1 p.m., Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports that an Amazon van had been stolen from the 3900 block of Old Riverside Drive in Harrison Township.
“They were in a white Ford van, I was on the porch and they jumped in the van and took off with it,” Amazon driver Joe Bruce said in a 911 call.
News Center 7′s Malik Patterson talked to a neighbor who watched the incident unfold.
All of this happened right in front of Darren Mangen’s home.
“My wife’s yelling ‘Hey come to the door the Amazon truck is being stolen,’” Mangen said.
Mangen said the Sheriff’s deputy’s response times are sometimes delayed on Old Riverside Road.
“Sometimes it’s 20 minutes, sometimes it’s a half hour,” he said.
Now, he’s worried about the Amazon delivery driver and others in his neighborhood.
>> Man arrested after hours-long investigation at Moraine home
“A high-valued Amazon load being stolen means probably a lot of people didn’t get their packages today,” Mangen said.
According to emergency scanner traffic, Sheriff’s deputies spent time Sunday afternoon canvassing the area trying to find security camera footage that would point them in the right direction.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said this is still an active investigation.
News Center 7 is working to learn if the truck has been found and if anyone is in custody. | https://news.yahoo.com/harrison-township-resident-explains-saw-021006099.html | 2024-01-01T03:13:37Z |
A Brazilian psychic dubbed “The Living Nostradamus”, who claims he predicted COVID and the Queen’s death, has revealed his prophecies for 2024.
Athos Salome, 37, has been compared to Nostradamus, the famous 16th century seer who wrote thousands of predictions during his lifetime.
Nostradamus is credited with predicting Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the September 11 terrorist attacks.

But it looks like Salome is giving him a run for his money with a series of new predictions for 2024 which include a global catastrophe and contact with aliens.
In the past, the Brazilian celebrity psychic claims he successfully forecast who would win the World Cup in 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine.
World War III
Salome’s first prediction is that a new threat will cause a global conflict but it won’t originate from current wars in the Ukraine or Gaza.
Salome says the threat will come from an event in the South China Sea or a major cyberattack.
“Any conflicts could have a profound impact leading to recessions in several major economies,” he told The Sun.
Salome also predicted there would be an invasion of the US, coming around 2024.
“The US will be betrayed and invaded, they are planning the attack some time and it will be worse than Osama Bin Laden’s on September 11, 2001,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Two great leaders behind the new episode. So the warning for World War III is done!”
Natural disasters
A series of natural disasters will sweep the globe, and Salome claims to know exactly where these incidents will strike.
Nature “always possesses the capacity to catch us off guard,” he told The Sun, highlighting that the Middle East, Africa and US will all face a series of natural disasters.
These disasters include hurricanes, storms and forest fires.
Talk to the dead
Salome predicts that in 2024, people will be able to talk to their dead loved ones, thanks to artificial intelligence.
He wrote on Instagram, “The bomb reveal for 2024 or better yet starting in 2024. Imagine talking to deceased loved ones and even discovering secrets from past lives — all thanks to an innovation in artificial intelligence!
“This technology is not just a scientific breakthrough, but a giant step in understanding the human journey. It promises to unravel the mysteries of existence, offering comfort and a profound understanding of our life missions. But how prepared are we for this?
“Experts are watching, debating the therapeutic impact versus ethical issues of this facade. We are on the verge of a spiritual and existential revolution.”
Salome believes that the AI is already being used in secret somewhere in the world.
“Surprise: this technology is the result of a secret international collaboration! Tests are already underway, spinning paranormal and geniuses, exploring the idea that we are more than flesh and bone — we are eternal energy,” he wrote. “The question that remains is: are we about to turn a new page in human history or complicated with forces we don’t understand? 2024, the year that promises to change everything!”
New pandemic
Salome predicts there will be a new deadly pandemic, with lethal viruses which have been entombed in ice in Antarctica for years.
From the South Pole, it will spread quickly and “it will sweep the world and the fight against this new virus will take longer than one can imagine.”
He warned, “If this new virus goes unchecked, suffering, mental and material damage will proliferate death and this virus will be known as the greatest grim reaper in history”.
Alien contact
Salome believes this year will mark a huge chapter in space exploration.
The Brazilian has forecast in The Sun that humans and aliens will communicate through “encrypted signals intercepted by a network of telescopes” and that a new space race will be sparked after the discovery of an “asteroid abundant with rich materials”. | https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/brazilian-psychic-athos-salome-dubbed-the-living-nostradamus-makes-chilling-predictions-for-2024-c-13078768 | 2024-01-01T03:13:37Z |
Say What? Find Out the True 'Auld Lang Syne' Meaning and Why We Sing It Every New Year's Eve
We sing "Auld Lang Syne" at the end of every single year, but as Mariah Carey asks in her indelible version, "Does anybody really know the words?" After all, what is the meaning of "Auld Lang Syne"?
"Auld Lang Syne" has its origins in the Scottish language, which explains why so much of it may as well be Greek to most of us. While most people have no idea what they're singing, nor what it means, one fun fact about "Auld Lang Syne" is that nowhere in the original song is the new year mentioned at all. As such, it's commonly performed and played at other celebrations in Scotland, including weddings and graduations—but Scottish New Year's celebrations, called "Hogmanay," is where "Auld Lang Syne" shines brightest.
Guy Lombardo popularized "Auld Lang Syne" in the United States, with broadcasts of his band, the Royal Canadians, playing on the rooftop of New York City's Roosevelt Hotel from 1929 to 1959, then from 1960 to 1976 at the iconic Waldorf Astoria.
Now that you know a little bit about why we sing "Auld Lang Syne" on New Year's Eve, get to know what "Auld Lang Syne" means and how it came to be.

The San Francisco 49ers will be going into the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff structure. As a result of their victory over the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles' shocking home loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Niners earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs as well as home field advantage throughout. Star running back Christian McCaffrey is thrilled that his team will have a chance to rest before they are put to the test in the season's most crucial games.
Christian McCaffrey calls calf strain "pretty minor." https://t.co/KJOE6hTflR
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) December 31, 2023
“We all need it — I know I need it,” McCaffrey said after the 49ers’ 27-10 win over Washington “So I’m excited to just take a breath and get everything back to normal.”
McCaffrey suffered a calf injury that the star running back termed as minor after the game. He suffered the injury in the 3rd quarter and did not return to action after that point. Head coach Kyle Shanahan did not seem overly concerned, but said that if the Niners had needed to beat the Los Angeles Rams in the season finale to cement the No. 1 seed, McCaffrey could have been impacted.
That's not the case, and it seems quite clear that Christian McCaffrey will not play in the game. As a result, the running back will have two weeks of rest before the Niners play their first postseason game in the divisional playoffs.
McCaffrey had 14 carries for 64 yards in San Francisco's triumph over Washington. The versatile back also caught 4 passes for 27 yards. | https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-christian-mccaffrey-reacts-to-niners-getting-first-round-bye-amid-calf-injury-i-need-it | 2024-01-01T03:13:42Z |

US helicopters have repelled an attack by Iran-backed Houthi militants on a Maersk container vessel in the Red Sea, sinking three ships and killing 10 militants, according to accounts by American, Maersk, and Houthi officials.
The naval battle occurred about 3.30am on Sunday as the attackers sought to board the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou, Maersk and US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
Helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely joined the ship’s security team in repelling the attackers after receiving a distress call, CENTCOM said.

Maersk said it was pausing all sailing through the Red Sea for 48 hours after the attack.
A spokesman for the Houthis said the group carried out the attack because the ship’s crew refused to heed warning calls. He said 10 Houthi naval personnel were “dead and missing” after their boats were attacked by US forces in the Red Sea.
The naval battle underlines the risk of a regional escalation in fighting as Israel continues with its relentless bombing campaign following a Hamas surprise cross-border attack on Israeli towns on October 7 that left 1200 dead, and took 240 hostages.
Israel’s air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people, according to Gazan health authorities.
Yemen’s Houthis have been targeting vessels in the Red Sea since November to show their support for Hamas, prompting major shipping companies to take the longer and costlier route around the Africa’s Cape of Good Hope rather than through the Suez Canal.
The Red Sea is the entry point for ships using the Suez Canal, which handles about 12 per cent of global trade and is vital for the movement of goods between Asia and Europe.
The US launched Operation Prosperity Guardian on December 19, saying more than 20 countries had agreed to participate in the efforts to safeguard ships in Red Sea waters near Yemen.
Maersk, one of the world’s top cargo shippers, said on December 24 it would resume sailing through the Red Sea. However, attacks have continued and US allies have proven reluctant to commit to the coalition, with nearly half not declaring their presence publicly.
The botched Houthi boarding operation was the second attack on the Maersk Hangzhou in as many days. The ship, which is carrying 14,000 containers en route from Singapore, was on Saturday hit by a missile about 55 nautical miles southwest of Al Hodeidah, Yemen.
The shipping company added that the crew of the Maersk Hangzhou crew was safe and there was no indication of fire onboard the vessel, which continued its journey north towards the Suez Canal.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby declined to say what options the US is considering when asked on ABC’s Good Morning America if Washington would consider a pre-emptive strike on the Houthis.
“We have made it clear publicly to the Houthis, we’ve made it clear privately to our allies and partners in the region, that we take these threats seriously.”
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Sunday that he had told Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in a call that Iran should help stop the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
“I made clear that Iran shares responsibility for preventing these attacks, given their longstanding support to the Houthis,” Cameron said in a post on social media site X, adding that the attacks “threaten innocent lives and the global economy”.
The BIMCO shipping association condemned the attacks and thanked those states involved in repelling them.
“We are thankful to US, French, and UK efforts so far and hope even more states will support the coalition with naval assets or other impactful means including diplomatic pressure on the Houthis and their sponsors,” Jakob Larsen, BIMCO’s head of maritime safety and security, told Reuters.

The Rock Crashed Fox’s Pregame Show and Had Jimmy Johnson Tearing Up With Heartfelt Message
Before The Rock became a professional wrestler, XFL owner and an acclaimed actor, Dwayne Johnson dreamed of playing for Jimmy Johnson during his coaching tenure with the Miami Hurricanes.
Johnson took Miami to new heights in the 1980s and led the Hurricanes to a national championship in ’87. When The Rock reached his senior year of high school in ’89, he only wanted to play football for Johnson. However, the Pro Football Hall of Fame coach jumped to the NFL ranks to become the Dallas Cowboys' second head coach ahead of the ‘89 campaign.
Although The Rock didn’t get to play for the legendary coach, he elected to still play for the Hurricanes to honor Johnson's legacy. During the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show, The Rock praised the newest member of the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor and honored Johnson with his letter of intent to play for him during his tenure at Miami.
“When I was 18, I wanted to give you this. This is my letter of intent to play for you,” The Rock laughed. “If you ever decide to coach again, it would be an honor.
Johnson was nearly in tears.
🥹 @TheRock dropped by with some heartfelt words for @JimmyJohnson and a special gift at the end 🧡💙 pic.twitter.com/Zu2zeBF2JP
— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) December 31, 2023
The Rock spent four years at Miami as a defensive lineman from 1991 to ’94 and was part of Miami’s championship team in ’91.
After 30 years and the ending of deep-rooted friction with Dallas owner Jerry Jones, Johnson earned his rightful place in the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor during halftime of the team’s 20–19 victory on Saturday night.

Short bursts of everyday physical activity can help people stay healthy: study
What the study refers to as High Intensity Incidental Physical Activity (HIIPA), mimics the scientifically proven benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), by incorporating everyday life and tasks.
"There is a lot of research telling us that any type of HIIT, irrespective of the duration and number of repetitions is one of the most effective ways to rapidly improve fitness and cardiovascular health and HIIPA works on the same idea," one of the study's collaborators, Emmanuel Stamatakis, from Sydney University said.
Along with his colleagues, Stamatakis argues that when taking into account different physical characteristics, such as age, sex and weight, many of the daily tasks we perform can be classed as "high intensity."
For the typical middle-aged Australian woman, 60 percent of whom are overweight, activities like running and playing with children or walking uphill, all expend more than six times as much energy per minute than when at rest -- the standard measure for high intensity activity.
Over the course of the day, doing three to five brief HIIPA sessions totalling five to 10 minutes could have significant health benefits and could present a more realistic health regime for people to stick to, the authors said.
"The beauty of HIIPA and the idea of using activities we are already doing as part of everyday life is that it is much more realistic and achievable for most people," Stamatakis said.
"The time commitment for HIIPA is close to zero minutes per day, and people could save even more time if their HIIPA involves brief walking sprints, or taking the stairs instead of waiting for the lift.
"Other practical advantages are nil costs, no need for equipment and no concerns about a lack of skill or fitness," he said. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/short-bursts-of-everyday-physical-activity-can-help-people-stay-healthy-study_a3500712/ | 2024-01-01T03:13:46Z |
Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers should be sending a gift basket to the Arizona Cardinals after their shocking upset over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
The Cardinals travelled to Lincoln Financial Field as double-digit underdogs and shocked the Eagles 35-31. And that victory had quite the ripple effect.
With the Eagles loss, the 49ers officially wrapped up the no.1 seed in the NFC bracket, securing themselves a first-round bye, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
The other big consequence of Cardinals-Eagles concerns the 2024 NFL Draft. With Arizona winning, the Chicago Bears officially clinched the first overall pick of the draft, via the Carolina Panthers.
Aside from the humiliation of losing to the Cardinals and the concern that comes from 10-1 team losing four of five games to fall to 11-5, the Eagles also might have cost themselves dearly come playoff time with the Week 17 slip-up.
Niners road to Super Bowl LVIII
Nick Sirianni's team has now lost control of their own destiny in the NFC East. Its loss on Sunday, coupled with the Dallas Cowboys' defeat of the Detroit Lions on Saturday, means that now the Cowboys are in the driver's seat in the divisional race. For Dallas, it's simple. Defeat the Washington Commanders in Week 18 and the East crown is theirs.
The 49ers clinch the NFC's top spot and a crucial postseason bye as a result of Philly's collapse.
Shanahan's squad went through their own challenges this season, dropping three straight games before hitting the bye week in Week 9. But San Francisco came back with a renewed focus, reeling off six straight victories.
The injury bug did hit the 49ers on Sunday, but earning a crucial week of rest will no doubt lift their spirits. | https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-clinch-nfc-1-seed-eagles-loss-cardinals | 2024-01-01T03:13:49Z |

Gameday Updates: Packers lead Vikings 23-3 at the half
get the free appMINNEAPOLIS — Two injury-riddled NFC North teams will go head-to-head Sunday night.
The Minnesota Vikings (7-8) host the Green Bay Packers (7-8) at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, with both teams looking to continue their hunt for the playoffs.
After posting six interceptions over two games, Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens is out and the rookie Jaren Hall is in. Hall had a brief start following Kirk Cousins' season-ending Achilles injury, suffering a concussion after only two drives.
RELATED: Packers and Vikings stage must-win rematch after months of promise and pain
While he's technically a rookie, Hall is 25 years old and displayed poise in his brief start. The Vikings hope to limit the amount of turnovers that have been factors in every loss this season.
Meanwhile, both teams are dealing with a long list of injuries.
The Vikings ruled out cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. due to a knee injury. Rookie CB Mekhi Blackmon is listed as questionable (shoulder) along with rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle). Tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) and outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum (quad) were both placed on injured reserve after the loss to the Detroit Lions.
The Packers will play without cornerback Jaire Alexander, who's serving a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. Doubtful players include linebacker De'Vondre Campbell and WR Christian Watson. Questionable players include safety Darnell Savage, nose tackle T.J. Slaton and WR Dontayvion Wicks.
Follow live updates from the game below.

Grading the Bears’ performance in their 37-17 win Sunday over the Falcons at Soldier Field:
QUARTERBACK: A
Firing an opening salvo with a 32-yard pass to DJ Moore on the Bears’ first play from scrimmage, Justin Fields (20-for-32, 268 yards, one TD, zero INTs, 99.5 rating) found a sweet spot that ignited a 432-yard, 37-point outburst against a Falcons defense that came in ranked sixth in scoring and ninth in yards. He added 11 carries for 45 yards and a TD.
RUNNING BACKS: A
Khalil Herbert (18 carries, 124 yards, TD) solidified his lead-back status with a second consecutive 100-yard game. Herbert had a 38-yard run to the 1-yard line, then scored from there. Roschon Johnson scored on a two-yard run and had a helping hand in pushing Fields to convert a fourth-and-one sneak.
RECEIVERS: A
DJ Moore (nine catches, 159 yards, TD) made several difference-making plays and had receptions of 32, 32 and 28 yards, plus a nifty catch for a nine-yard TD. With TE Cole Kmet active but banged up, Robert Tonyan (three catches, 40 yards) ably pitched in.
OFFENSIVE LINE: A
C Lucas Patrick gamely gutted it out despite a knee injury. Patrick and LG Teven Jenkins paved the way for Johnson’s TD run, as the Bears rushed for 192 yards and three TDs on 37 carries. LT Braxton Jones got a break when his false start nullified a fumbled snap the Falcons recovered. It was that kind of day for the Bears.
DEFENSIVE LINE: B
Rookie DT Gervon Dexter (four tackles) continued his ascent in the second half of the season with 1.5 sacks. DE Montez Sweat had one tackle and no sacks but still made an impact with a QB hit that forced a punt. DE DeMarcus Walker had a half-sack and stopped Bijan Robinson for no gain. Rookie DT Zacch Pickens broke up a pass.
LINEBACKERS: B
Not many splash plays on a day when the defensive line and secondary made most of the big plays. T.J. Edwards (two tackles) had a tackle for loss, a QB hit and an interception. Tremaine Edmunds (five tackles) had a pass breakup that could have been an INT.
SECONDARY: B
CB Tyrique Stevenson (five tackles) left briefly with an injury but returned and had two INTs and a pass breakup that led to a punt.
S Jaquan Brisker (five tackles) didn’t react well on Tyler Allgeier’s 75-yard TD on a screen pass but still made plays. CB Jaylon Johnson left with a shoulder injury. CB Kyler Gordon had an INT.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B-
Avoided disaster when Dee Alford nearly returned Cairo Santos’ missed 55-yard FG for a TD. Patrick hustled to help Tonyan trip Alford, who also seemed to trip himself up near the Bears’ 10. Santos made two 42-yard FGs. Trent Taylor had a 15-yard punt return. Trenton Gill averaged 37 net yards on four punts.
COACHING: A
Almost a statement kind of game for Matt Eberflus. The Bears were mostly on-point in every key area, scored on their first possession and never trailed. Bears converted a fourth-and-one on a ‘‘tush push,’’ even with 185-pound WR Tyler Scott aiding in pushing Fields. | https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2023/12/31/24021258/bears-position-by-position-grades-vs-the-falcons | 2024-01-01T03:13:51Z |
CLEVELAND (WJW) – For many New Year’s Eve represents new beginnings. But for the family of Shane Bartek it represents a tragic loss of life.
Cleveland police officer Shane Bartek was shot and killed two years ago while being carjacked by Tamara McLoyd. A woman who would later be convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
“People go back into their routines and sometimes you could feel kind of like they’ve forgotten,” Bartek’s twin sister Summer Bartek said. “So knowing that this many people came and that they’re still supporting us shows that, you know, even five years from now, he’s still going to be just as remembered as he was today.”
To honor his life and legacy, the Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association (CPPA) held a candlelight vigil at the Police and Firefighters Memorial on Rocky River Drive.
“To me, Shane was bigger than life,” his mother Debra Bartek said. “And to see all the people and hear the songs just touched my heart.”
Thomas Ross is the Second Vice President of the CPPA, who said they will never stop supporting the Bartek family.
“It’s always been important throughout my career and many officers’ careers that we remember the fallen, never forget,” Ross said. “Despite the weather, despite whatever is going on, we’re here tonight and that will continue that tradition.”
Ross said Bartek’s name was the last to be etched on the memorial, but more names will need to be added. So the union is raising funds to expand and one local business is helping out.
West Park Station is donating 10% of all food sales on New Year’s Eve to the West Park Cleveland Police and Firefighters Memorial.
“Two years ago, the Bartek family was planning a funeral and as everybody’s making resolutions and trying to better themselves, they have to bury their son, nephew, grandson,” West Park Station Owner and Operator Jason Salupo said. “And so, it’s a big thing for us.”
The WPPA is also selling Officer Bartek challenge coins for five dollars to raise funds for the memorial. They can be purchased through the CPPA on West 58th Street through Jan. 31.
The Bartek’s hope the senseless violence against police will come to a stop.
“We all need each other to get through this life,” Debra said. “And it just breaks my heart that these police officers give everything. And for people to hurt them, just it hurts.” | https://fox8.com/news/cleveland-officer-shane-bartek-honored-with-candlelight-vigil-2-years-after-murder/ | 2024-01-01T03:13:51Z |
It was quite the Week 17 in the AFC North. The Cleveland Browns opened the week on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets and clinched a spot in the AFC playoffs with a thrilling 37-20 win over the Jets as veteran quarterback Joe Flacco continued his storybook run.
Then, on Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens blew out the Miami Dolphins, 56-19, clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs while winning the AFC North. The Pittsburgh Steelers followed that up by going on the road and defeating the Seattle Seahawks, 30-23, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
But it was a bad day to be the Cincinnati Bengals. On the road against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bengals blew a 17-7 lead, losing 25-17. In the process, the Bengals were eliminated from the AFC playoffs and clinched last in the AFC North, meaning the Steelers won’t finish last in the division once again, extending their streak to 34 years without a last-place finish.
The Steelers are now locked into third place in the AFC North.
AFC North Standings
1. Baltimore Ravens: 13-3
2. Cleveland Browns: 11-5
3. Pittsburgh Steelers: 9-7
4. Cincinnati Bengals: 8-8
Coming off the win over Seattle, the Steelers still sit in ninth in the playoff picture behind the Houston Texans in eighth and the Indianapolis Colts in seventh.
The Steelers’ path to the playoffs is a bit confusing with a lot of things that need to go one way or another in Week 18, but Steelers Depot’s own Joe Clark laid out the path to the playoffs for the Black and Gold here.
Pittsburgh’s playoff odds increased to 28% with the win over the Seahawks, too. Still a good chance to make the playoffs, especially with the Baltimore Ravens potentially sitting starters next Sunday with the No. 1 seed already locked up and nothing to play for.
Kansas City Chiefs 25, Cincinnati Bengals 17
Coming off a 34-11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers that all but sunk their season officially, the Cincinnati Bengals had a chance to bounce back on the road in Week 17 against a floundering Kansas City Chiefs team.
The Bengals got off to a good start as they took a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a 34-yard field goal from Evan McPherson. The Chiefs responded as running back Isiah Pacheco scored on an 8-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes, giving the Chiefs a 7-3.
It was mostly all Cincinnati after that though as the Bengals jumped out to a 17-7 lead in the second quarter. Joe Mixon scored on a 7-yard pass from Jake Browning and then Browning added a 1-yard touchdown later in the second quarter. Two late field goals from Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker made it a 17-13 game at the half.
Coming out of the break, the Chiefs took over for good, leaning heavily on the right leg of Butker, who drilled field goals of 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards in the second half, leading the Chiefs to a 25-17 win, clinching the AFC West in the process for the defending Super Bowl champs.
In the win over the Bengals, Mahomes completed 21-of-29 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown. Pacheco had 18 carries for 130 yards and added seven receptions for 35 yards and a score, and wide receiver Rashee Rice had five receptions for 117 yards.
For the Bengals, Browning threw for 197 yards and one touchdown on 19-of-33 passing, while Mixon ran for 65 yards on 21 carries. Ja’Marr Chase, after taking trash on the Chiefs’ defense earlier in the week, had just three receptions for 41 yards to lead the Bengals. The Chiefs sacked Browning six times in the win. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/afc-north-recap-week-17-bengals-fall-to-chiefs-eliminated-from-playoffs-steelers-clinch-third-in-division/ | 2024-01-01T03:13:51Z |

Holiday outing plans have been ruined for the second time in only a week, after theme parks on the Gold Coast closed ahead of dire forecasts of wild weather on New Year’s Day.
Movie World, Dreamworld, Wet’n’Wild and WhiteWater World all announced they would be shut on January 1 due to severe weather forecast in the area — this comes one week after the four venues shut because of the severe thunderstorms sweeping through the state’s southeast on Boxing Day.
“Will be closed today for the safety and wellbeing of our team members and guests,” Movie World said on Facebook.

The closure message was mirrored by Wet’n’Wild, saying both theme parks anticipated reopening on Tuesday.
“We anticipate reopening tomorrow and will provide updates on our social media. Thanks for your understanding,” Wet’n’Wild said.
Dreamworld and WhiteWater World also released similar closure announcements, saying they too would be closed on New Year’s Day, however, no set re-opening date was given.
“We appreciate your patience and look forward to welcoming you back to both parks! Stay tuned for further updates,” Dreamworld said.
Earlier last month, Dreamworld operations came to a sudden halt after a major power outage hit the theme park on December 12.
Frustrated families said they were without food and cold water as temperatures reached 30C in the first week of the school holidays.
A spokesperson from power company Energex said it could not pinpoint what caused the outage that impacted both Dreamworld and Whitewater World.
Power was back up and running by late morning.

The San Francisco 49ers were shaken at the end of their Week 16 Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. They were beaten badly at home by the Baltimore Ravens, and it seemed as though the AFC powerhouse had drained much of the confidence out of their game. But one week later, Deebo Samuel and his teammates are celebrating their clinching of the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Deebo Samuel and other #49ers players watching the #Eagles lose to Arizona, meaning they clinched the No. 1 seed…
(📽️ @TracyFGSN)pic.twitter.com/oRNCen5C3n
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 31, 2023
The 49ers were victorious as they went cross-country and defeated the reeling Washington Commanders by a 27-10 margin. However, the the true celebration didn't come until the Niners had reached the locker room and they saw the end of the Cardinals-Eagles game.
Arizona pulled off a shocking 35-31 upset over the defending NFC champions, and that gave the Niners a 1-game lead over the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys with 1 game to play. Since the 49ers have beaten both teams, that advantage meant they could not be caught for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Samuel and some of his teammates were watching the broadcast of the final minutes of the Arizona-Philadelphia game in the locker room, and the players celebrated when the final seconds ticked off the clock. “Let's go,” yelled Samuel with a jump and a war whoop through the locker room.
The 49ers will have homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Last year they were beaten in the NFC title game by the Eagles in Philadelphia. If the two teams meet again, Deebo Samuel and the Niners will get to play the title game at Levi's Stadium. | https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-deebo-samuels-immediate-reaction-to-49ers-clinching-nfcs-no-1-seed-as-eagles-lose | 2024-01-01T03:13:55Z |

Twin Cities "Pizza Man" serves up complimentary sober rides for New Year's Eve revelers
COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Minn. — A Columbia Heights business owner is helping people get to and from their New Year's Eve celebrations safely, by offering free rides.
"Hopefully tonight's a good, safe night, we stay busy, able to get people home when they need to get home," Chris Kolstad said.
Since taking over Heights Pizza Man four years ago, Kolstad has offered sober rides to people on major holidays.
MORE NEWS: A charity ice dive in Excelsior on Monday will happen - just without ice
"Usually by the time they get in our car they're about ready for a nap. But every once in a while it turns into karaoke on the freeway, your typical drunk ride," Kolstad said. "I'd rather someone doing that than go out and risk somebody's life."
The decision to help prevent impaired driving is personal for Kolstad and his employees.
"We've got a couple staff members here that have lost close family members to drunk drivers. I've lost a few people through my life. Nobody substantially close to me, but people I knew anyway, and seen a lot of people impacted by it in this community as well," he said.
The Minnesota State Patrol says 444 drivers died on state roads last year. In at least 25% of the deaths, the driver had been using substances.

"We want people to know that we're going to be out there making traffic stops because everyone deserves to get to and from their places safely," said Lt. Jill Frankfurth with the state patrol. "And if we need to stop drivers before they injure or, worse, kill somebody else on the road, we'll be out doing that."
Metro Transit is also offering free rides on Sunday night until end of service on all routes.

The drawing will also come with an estimated $408.9 million one-time crash prize instead of the $810 million being distributed with 30 payments over 29 years.
According to the national lottery, the largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history still stands at $2.04 billion, which was claimed by a single Powerball ticket on Nov. 7, 2022, in California.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. The next drawing will be held on Monday, Jan. 1, 2024.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have scored at least 30 points twice this season. They happen to have come in the past two weeks with third-stringer Mason Rudolph starting at quarterback. The offense did not manage to put up that many points in any of Kenny Pickett’s 12 starts or in Mitch Trubisky’s two. Pickett has produced 30-plus points of offense exactly once in 24 career starts, a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last season.
Yet what he did manage was to win games, even if they weren’t pretty. He is 14-6 as a starter when you remove the games in which he played fewer than half the snaps (a total of four losses). The Steelers were 7-4 this season prior to his ankle injury against the Arizona Cardinals, but then they lost three straight, including that one, with Trubisky playing the majority of those snaps or starting.
Head coach Mike Tomlin benched him after two starts, and suddenly the offense is protecting the ball again and putting up points. Following a three-game losing skid, including two losses to two-win teams, they are back where they ought to have been with Rudolph. And it’s hard not to wonder what might have been if they’d made that decision sooner. Or from the beginning. Include former Steelers CB Bryant McFadden in that group.
“I’m happy & mad at the same time because I feel like, if Mason started initially when Kenny got injured, we would be [in] the playoffs for sure”, he wrote on Twitter following Pittsburgh’s 30-23 victory on Sunday evening over the Seattle Seahawks.
While he did not throw a touchdown during the game and the offense leaned heavily on the running of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, Rudolph played an efficient game and made most of the plays that were appropriate or needed. He finished completing 18-of-24 passes for 274 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions and a 112.2 quarterback rating. As with last week, he was sacked just once.
The last time the Steelers had consecutive games of 250-plus net passing yards was in Weeks One and Two of the 2021 season, yet Rudolph managed it in both of his starts while attempting fewer than 30 passes in each.
For the second week in a row, WR George Pickens topped 100 yards, catching seven passes on nine targets for 131. That included a late 24-yard completion to help close out the game. WR Diontae Johnson also added four catches for 76 yards, while TE Pat Freiermuth caught three passes for 44. RB Jaylen Warren caught all four of his targets for 23 yards.
While he has been the Steelers’ third-string quarterback for most of the last two seasons, he has spent the majority of his career as a backup or interim starter. The former third-round draft pick has always been seen as having talent, and six years into the system and its variations, he knows what they want to accomplish.
The offense has looked its most efficient in years with him under center, and that’s a fact. Much of the credit goes to the running backs for that, especially in the win over the Seahawks that included three rushing touchdowns, but would Rudolph have won more than zero games during that three-game losing streak? I think that’s a safe bet. And if they had managed even one win, they would be locked into a postseason spot right now. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/bryant-mcfadden-mad-steelers-didnt-turn-to-mason-rudolph-sooner-we-would-be-in-the-playoffs-for-sure/ | 2024-01-01T03:13:57Z |
Young Eagles Fan Dressed Up in Legendary Jason Kelce Costume, and Everyone Loved It
This young Philadelphia Eagles fan clearly knew how to end 2023 on a high note.
Beloved Eagles center Jason Kelce endeared himself even more to the city of Philadelphia—if that was even possible—after the team’s Super Bowl win during the 2017 season when he donned a Mummers outfit for the Super Bowl parade. The ensemble is a form of colorful garb traditionally worn during the annual New Year’s Day parade in the City of Brotherly Love.
Well, one young Eagles fan decided to recreate Kelce's legendary Mummers outfit before the team's contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Fans absolutely loved it.

It's too bad that Kelce wasn't in his Mummers outfit, as he and the young fan would have been nearly identical, aside from the obvious size difference.
Here's hoping that Kelce, whether it's during his postgame media availability or an episode of his podcast, will find a way to shout out this fan for his amazing costume.

The San Francisco 49ers are closing in on clinching the #1 seed in the NFC, in large part due to the fact that Brock Purdy has quickly and surprisingly matured from “Mr. Irrelevant” to “MVP candidate” in just eighteen months time, a remarkable come-up for a kid who was once a three-star recruit coming out of Queen Creek, Arizona.
The 49ers skill position players are a big reason why Brock Purdy is in MVP contention in the first place. Deebo Samuel leads the NFL in yards after catch per reception, among all players with at least 50 receptions. Brandon Aiyuk, the 49ers leading receiver this season, is not much further down the list. It's no secret that Purdy has found himself in a cushy situation, but his supporting cast is even supporting him off the field too.
Deebo Samuel is rocking a jacket supporting Brock Purdy for MVP 🔥

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) December 31, 2023
My question now is, will Deebo Samuel show up to San Francisco's final game of a year in a jacket that shows some love to the 49ers other MVP candidate, running back Christian McCaffrey? The fact that at this moment, during a season where quarterback stats are largely down in comparison to year's past, both Christian McCaffrey and Tyreek Hill seem to have little chance of winning the league's MVP award, it proves that quarterbacks are going to win this award for the foreseeable future. McCaffrey is leading the NFL in rushing yards, yards from scrimmage, and total touchdowns, and even Brock Purdy himself says that McCaffrey is the league MVP. But it took a 4-interception meltdown against Baltimore for Purdy's MVP odds to dip below McCaffrey's.
I don't know that my imaginary MVP vote would go to Brock Purdy or Christian McCaffrey at this point, but I do know that if the 49ers hope to win their first Super Bowl title since 1995, they'll need both Purdy and McCaffrey to continue to play at an MVP level throughout the postseason. | https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-wr-deebo-samuel-shows-brock-purdy-mvp-love-with-jacket-ahead-of-commanders-game | 2024-01-01T03:14:01Z |

Muddy Paws Cheesecake gets big lift from TV philanthropist
ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. — A popular Twin Cities bakery says a mega donation from a stranger will help them get back "on their paws."
Tami Cabrera, owner of Muddy Paws Cheesecake in St. Louis Park, says financial trouble forced them to temporarily close earlier this week. After 30 years in business, Cabrera says Muddy needs $240,000 to stay afloat.
But help has arrived, in the form of Marcus Lemonis. He's host of CNBC's "The Profit," a show where he helps small businesses.
On Friday, the philanthropist offered to purchase $40,000 worth of Muddy Paws cakes.
Cabrera says Lemonis was reached out to by friends.
"Marcus saw it on Twitter, so I think that's where he first saw it was on Twitter through some of my friends who had brought it to his attention," Cabrera said.

Cabrera says those purchased cakes will be given out to people she chooses.
"It'll probably be around 600 to 700 cakes," she said.
Cabrera says it's been a rough several years for her business. since a burglar targeted her business. WCCO covered Muddy Paws' burglary back in 2018. After that, she says the costs piled up due to rising ingredient prices, re-builds, the pandemic and someone driving into her building.
Cabrera says it's more than the money. She's hoping Lemonis will give her the know-how to get back on her feet.
"He lends a lot of advice to making us make changes to where we can be more profitable," Cabrera said.
She says Muddy Paws has raised more than $12,000 from the public. She says she's optimistic that with Lemonis' and the public's help, she'll be able to re-open in January.
"People have been amazing, coming forward and helping us from all different directions, and help has been coming in steadily, which is so amazing and I'm so thankful," Cabrera said.
Cabrera and Lemonis will be hosting a live interview on Instagram on Tuesday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a path to the playoffs so long as they don’t lose to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. But according to defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, it’s not going to be cause for celebration for the Steelers if they get in. Heyward said the Steelers feel like they belong in the playoffs, and they won’t throw a “party” just for getting there.
“Two weeks ago, you could say we were still miles away. So we’ll see what we can do. I believe in the guys in the locker room, I think we have the guys to do it. But we’re not gonna throw a party if we do get in the playoffs, we feel like we belong, and we just need an extra week to do it,” Heyward said via Steelers.com.
The Steelers seemed all but dead when it came to making the playoffs as early as two weeks ago, but two straight wins with Mason Rudolph under center has them now at 9-7 with back-to-back wins following three straight losses. The Steelers are going to need to get help to get in the playoffs, but there is a path where they can lose and still get in. That seems incredibly unlikely, but they’ve at least played well enough to have a shot to get in with only nine wins.
But that’s not the way anyone wants them to get in, and the Steelers are going to turn their attention to beating Baltimore and trying to earn their way in. It shouldn’t have come down to Week 18 for this team, and if the Steelers had just taken care of business against the Arizona Cardinals and/or New England Patriots, we’re looking at a much different scenario right now.
But the season’s ebbs and flows mean the Steelers will play for their playoff lives in Week 18 once again. They needed help to get in and got it two years ago, and despite winning in Week 18 last year, they didn’t get the help they needed and missed the playoffs. Obviously, that’s not a scenario they want either, but if just one of the Jacksonville Jaguars or Buffalo Bills lose and Pittsburgh wins, the Steelers will be safe. And they won’t be throwing a party about their playoff inclusion, and nor should they.
This is a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016. It’s not good enough just to get in and bow out in the AFC Wild-Card round. Pittsburgh is going to look to fight and claw and win a playoff game for the first time since everyone but Heyward and Chris Boswell were Steelers.
It’s going to take a good performance in Week 18 and a little help, but Heyward is confident in his guys. We’ll see if they can get it done. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/cameron-heyward-were-not-gonna-throw-a-party-if-steelers-make-playoffs/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:03Z |

A Sydney father is fighting for his life in a Bali hospital after suffering serious head injuries in a scooter accident just days after Christmas.
Kevin Malligan, 24, was holidaying with friends on the Indonesian island on Friday when the scooter he was a passenger on hit a pothole, sending the father-of-one flying onto the road.

He suffered serious injuries, including a bleed on his brain and a fracture to his neck, and is currently on life support in the BIMC Hospital in Nusa Dua. Malligan has undergone surgery to stop the bleeding and to release the pressure on his brain.
His wife Leah Malligan, who is 32 weeks pregnant, has flown to Bali to be by her husband’s side.
Due to give birth in a matter of weeks, she described the situation as surreal.
“It’s something that you just see in movies, and you hear of, but you just never think you’re going to be in that situation,” she told 7NEWS.
“Getting to feel him, just being nice and warm still, and the fact that he’s still alive, that’s all that matters at the moment.”
Malligan’s father and brother have also flown to Bali.
His family in Sydney are taking care of the couple’s two-year-old daughter Ivy but are struggling with the thousands of dollars needed to cover medical bills.
“Because the insurance won’t cover it, you’ve got to pay (for the medical bills) every couple of days,” Malligan’s father-in-law Jodie French said.
The family hopes to fly Malligan home to Sydney for treatment at Nepean Hospital, but the flight is expected to cost more than $100,000.
A GoFundMe has been set up by to help raise money for expenses. Almost $80,000 has been raised so far.
Malligan’s wife said she was overwhelmed by the response to the fundraiser.
“It just means the world,” she said.
“I never thought I’d be in this situation, and I’ve never been the type of person to ask for money or ask for help, but after seeing the condition he’s in and knowing I’m going to be giving birth in five or so weeks ... it’s so important that he’s at home.”

Taking the ring in the main event of AEW Worlds End, MJF knew he wasn't just wrestling one opponent but two, with Samoa Joe set to take him to task between the bells and The Devil, his masked foe of unknown identification, all but certainly set to participate in some extracurricular activities when the match came to an end or maybe even while it was going on, depending on how brash he wanted to be.
A harrowing task? You bet, but come on, MJF had almost 10,000 fans at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island behind him, and that sort of home-court advantage can move mountains, even for performers who are injured against one, two, six, or even more potential in-ring foes.
Introduced to the Coliseum by a very Long Island video package, MJF sold his shoulder injury for the entire match but found creative ways around it in order to produce some pretty compelling offense, using Joe's own hand tape to produce leverage on his signature armbar and using the ropes to help facilitate big moves like the Heatseaker – the maneuver used against him on Dynamite in his Ring of Honor Tag Team Championship match – and a very cool stomp on his opponent's injured left arm.
Unfortunately though, when MJF had a window to really get himself back and put the match away, requesting his Dynamite Diamond Ring from Adam Cole to really knock his foe down for the count, the former NXT Champion simply couldn't find it quickly enough, and that allowed Joe to recover and lock him up in a chock for the eventual submission victory.
Disappointing? For Max, you bet, but just wait, it got even worse, as after The Devil's masked men surrounded the ring, they locked himself and Cole up for what felt like a guaranteed beating, only for the lights to go out and the former leader of the Undisputed Era to find himself sitting in a chair with the devil mask in his pocket. The beating came swift, though only after Wardlow, Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett revealed themselves as The Devils' masked men, and the show went off the air with everyone who hated the “Salt of the Earth” surrounding the former champion.

Tony Khan “predicted” a big Devil reveal at AEW Worlds End.
Whoa, a The Devil reveal at AEW Worlds End? Who ever could have seen that coming? Well, all fans should have really, as Tony Khan specifically suggested on the Worlds End media call, that there could be a major reveal on the show, namely the identity of The Devil.
“It feels like we’re getting close to that point. I do expect some big revelations and big moments at Worlds End. It’s its own idea, and it’s something that I’m excited about,” Tony Khan said on the AEW Worlds End media call via Fightful. “I do feel like it’s coming close to the culmination and it does feel like the secrets will be revealed at Worlds End, and I’m looking forward to it. It’s been very different than the other aspects of AEW. One aspect of it has been really interesting, and it’s been something to keep people hooked, and those people that want to see that kind of episodic story is really something that has a lot of people talking and built a lot of interest for Worlds End is the identity of the Devil.”
Whoa, good on TK for guessing that one correctly, as it's not like he… booked the reveal to happen on the Long Island-based show.
All jokes aside, after Full Gear came and went without a big Devil reveal, AEW pretty much had to give the Devil his due at Worlds End, as the excitement and intrigue surrounding the storyline was starting to dip with each passing week. Once the masked man's men unseated MJF as the Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions, the last vestiges of his reigns minus the Triple B, it felt like only a matter of time before this particular mystery was revealed and the promotion could take a step forward into its aftermath.
Where does MJF go from here?
So, with MJF down and out, his title reign ended and a new “Era” added to Cole's career, what does the future hold for MJF? Will he be back on Dynamite this Wednesday with a renewed spirit and a few buddies to back him up? Or will he be off of AEW television for a few weeks, a few months, or even more?
Well, considering even the former World Champion admitted that there's probably some fatigue surrounding his title reign, it's safe to say he'll probably be off of television for at least some period of time, but the second half is the far more interesting question, as it's tough to imagine he'll be able to defeat The Devil and his band of buddies alone, especially when you consider Wardlow has had his goat in an AEW ring already. Fortunately, there are a few performers around the professional wrestling world who still have a soft spot for MJF, including his buddies in the Dynasty, Alex Hammerstone and Richard Holliday, who have finished up their runs in MLW in 2023.
Would MJF really consider forming – or, in this new case, reforming – a faction after his time in The Pinnacle went so poorly? Or is there another solution that can build towards an eventual rematch between MJF and Adam Cole at, say, All In 2024, one that keeps MJF a solo act without putting him back in the title picture? Fans will have to wait for his return to find out… or watch him make his debut in WWE should they win the “bidding war of 2024.”

Long-awaited fresh snowfall leads to busy Twin Cities ski slopes on New Year's Eve
BURNSVILLE, Minn. — Sunday's snow is a most welcomed sight for the Twin Cities' outdoor recreation businesses.
December's historic warmth forced at least a dozen ski hills across the state and western Wisconsin to close earlier this week.
But Sunday's fresh powder meant plenty of fun, especially for folks at Buck Hill in Burnsville.

Mae Turman and her sister Ada say the snow gave the slopes more traction.
"There's a little bit of ice but with the fresh powder, it makes it a little bit better," Mae Turman said.
"It's nice to get some carving out there and it feels like you can really go down the hill nicely," Ada Turman said.
Buck Hill had some setbacks in December. It was so warm and rainy on Christmas eve and day that they closed the slopes.
"This season, because it hasn't snow very much, yes, it's a little disappointing," Mae Turman said.
But look how much it can change in just a week.
Sunday was the first day skiing for the Patel family this season. Grandpa Ashok says his twin granddaughters — Aayushi and Ishani — have been waiting a long time for real snow.
"They got their rental skis here in October, they were patiently waiting til November, and now we are in January almost," Ashok Patel said.
But the wait was worth it.

"I think it was really nice. It was kind of hard because I tripped a few times, but it was fun," Aayushi said.
"I don't think there's any better way to celebrate," Ishani said,
These skiers and snowboarders are hopeful this last-minute snow is a sign of what's to come next month.
"It's just a great way to ring in the new year," Ada Turman said.
Buck Hill is going to be having its own New Year's Eve celebration Sunday night with food, music and champagne. And the runs are going to be open until 11:30 p.m. so you can truly ski and snowboard until the final minutes of 2023.
Buck Hill plans to capitalize on the fresh snow and make more of it overnight, so New Year's Day will be another great ski day.

While it was a good day for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who beat the Seattle Seahawks, 30-23, to keep their playoff hopes alive heading into Week 18, it was the first game where a receiver got the better of Steelers rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf caught three of his six targets when aligned against Porter, gaining 86 yards. Per Next Gen Stats, Metcalf is the first receiver to gain over 40 yards against Porter in coverage this season.
The other interesting mention in that tweet is that Porter has traveled with receivers seven times, tied for the most in the NFL, since Week 7. It goes to show the trust that Pittsburgh has in Porter to take away the top option from other teams. More often than not, he’s done so this year, but against the 6-5 physical freak in Metcalf, the receiver was able to get the better of him.
It was a matchup that both Metcalf and Porter were looking forward to ahead of the game, with Porter saying he circled it as soon as the schedule came out. The Steelers did a good enough job in coverage taking away Seattle’s other options though, and despite a cornerback group that had Levi Wallace and James Pierre behind Porter, neither Tyler Lockett nor Jaxon Smith-Njigba had more than one reception. Seattle’s tight ends did a good job, particularly Noah Fant, who had five grabs for 59 yards, but it was a solid game for Pittsburgh’s secondary against a team with a bunch of weapons.
I think the Steelers will take Metcalf having the game he did and getting the win knowing how well they limited Seattle’s other weapons at receiver and that they got the win. Metcalf is a tough player to cover given his size and athleticism, and while Porter’s physicality could match his, Metcalf is the more experienced player. He used that experience to make some plays against the rookie corner. Metcalf only had three catches against Porter, and he finished the day with five receptions for 106 yards on eight targets.
Pittsburgh got the win despite Metcalf’s day, and Porter will look to take away the Baltimore Ravens’ top option next week. He had an interception while covering Odell Beckham Jr. in the first matchup between the two teams in Week Five, and I’m sure Porter will be hungry to get another interception and establish himself as a key member of the Steelers-Ravens rivalry, just as his father did before him. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/dk-metcalf-first-wr-to-have-success-against-joey-porter-jr/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:09Z |

Full Results of Iraq's Local Elections

By John Lee. Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) has announced the results of the local elections held in Iraq on December 18th: Voter turnout: 41%, higher than the 2021 parliamentary elections despite a boycott by influential cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

A man died Saturday morning in Hawaii after sustaining what authorities called “injuries from a shark encounter” off the coast of Maui.
Police responded about 11.19am local time to a beach area off the Hana Highway in Paia.
Officers used a jet ski to bring a 39-year-old man to shore who had been injured in the “shark encounter,” Maui police said in a news release.

After bringing the man to shore, first responders performed “life-saving measures” until medics arrived to transport him to the Maui Memorial Medical Centre, according to the news release.
The man later died from his injuries, police said. Authorities said they were withholding his identity for 24 hours “to allow his family an opportunity to notify their extended family and friends.”
Researchers have noticed what appears to be a higher likelihood of shark bites in Hawaii from October through December, according to the Division of Aquatic Resources, part of Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Shark attacks, particularly fatal ones, are rare: On average, sharks kill five people per year in unprovoked attacks, CNN previously reported.
The odds of being fatally attacked by one of the carnivorous fish are less than 1 in 4 million, according to the International Shark Attack File. Experts attribute many shark bites to cases of mistaken identity, particularly in waters with low visibility.
According to records, the last fatal shark encounter in Hawaii occurred when a snorkeler was killed off Maui on December 8, 2022.

When Adam Copeland took the ring against Christian Cage at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, it felt like an odd way to promote the duo's first-ever match in AEW.
Sure, the show was in Canada, sure, the duo's families could theoretically drive to the venue to enjoy their time together, and sure, the promotion earned some very good press for having such a high-profile match free on television, as Copeland specifically did his before and after the match on TSN to celebrate the occasion, but the show didn't hit a particularly impressive good rating in America and the match's ending left a lot to be desired for fans who aren't full down with The Bloodline-esque familial storytelling.
Fortunately, after working the phones and working over Tony Khan backstage, Copeland was able to secure a rematch at AEW Worlds End, and the match in question came with a very fun stipulation: No Disqualifications.
Taking the ring in the third-to-last match at Worlds End, a show that featured more misses than hits for the fans in the Nassau Coliseum, Copeland wasted no time getting the match off the ground, hitting his long-time friend right after he made his way out onto the entrance ramps and went on to beat his behind around the ring, delivering a very cool cross body from the 100 level while Cage and his “son” Nick Wayne were still making their way up the stairs.
Though Cage eventually took control of the match, beating his childhood buddy with a kendo stick, and then a steel chair, and finally a metal pipe, the match came down to some good old-fashioned hardcore fun, with the “Rated-R Superstar” turning the kendo stick on Cage before focusing his attention on hand-to-hand combat… and a 10-foot ladder for good measure.
Continuing their match inside the ring and out of it, Cage went back his heelish ways, hitting Copeland between the legs and then going full on The Bloodline – again – with both Waynes, Nick, and Mother, impacting the final outcome of the match. After narrowly kicking out of a Killswitch attempt, Copeland put Nick through a flaming table – even if it took a take 2 to happen – before hitting Cage with the Killswitch for the 1-2-3.
Fun stuff, right? But wait, it gets better… if you're a Christian Cage fan.
After holding up the TNT Championship in victory, Killswitch got into the ring and faced down the new champion, beating the bricks off of him before attempting to cash-in the contract he earned for the TNT Championship during Zero Hour, only for Cage to jump into the ring and demand he take the opportunity himself.
And just like that, it was done. With a few words to Justin Roberts and a quick Spear for good measure, Cage retained his title and now holds the distinction of being a two-time TNT Championship.
Where do the duo of Copeland and Cage go from here? Well, considering he lost another match because it turned into a 3-on-1 affair, it's safe to say Copeland may want to find a few more friends to have his back, forming a new version of the Judgment Day on AEW television.
WAIT. What?!

Adam Copeland has already suggested he'd like to form a new faction.
Speaking of Adam Copeland forming a new faction, the one-time TNT Champion actually mentioned that very concept in an interview with 3NT Wrestling before Worlds End, an idea he might want to revisit, considering how his match turned out.
“It's something that I haven't even contemplated yet, but if I'm looking at the roster I see a guy like Griff Garrison and he reminds me a lot of me when I was that age. That's a guy that I've already been reaching out to and trying to be like, ‘If you try this or you try that.' That would be one guy for sure that I'd like to kind of bring into a fold if I were to ever do it. There is so much talent there. More than anything, it would be talent that I feel is on the cusp and really have a shot to do something,” Adam Copeland told 3NT Wrestling via Fightful.
“That was the idea with Judgment Day. I saw Priest, I saw Rhea, and I saw Finn and I knew they could do more. Finn had been given a bit of an opportunity with that, but I knew there was so much more untapped stuff. That to me was all fun and all true. I truly felt they were underutilized. That's what I think I would like to do if I were to do it again. Who are these people that I could bring in and feel the difference when you're out there of that that feels like, to really listen to an audience and be engaged with them, but understand that you're the one pulling the strings, they're not pulling your strings. That's a big shift in mindset that at some point you have to take if you want to make it to the top. I know I'm going to get off and go, ‘Oh, this person, that person, this person.'”
Alright, so if Griff Garrison is Copeland's answer to Wayne – or, if he wanted to really lean into the feud, he could recruit Jordan Oliver – who would fill the shoes opposite Mother Wayne? Quick, someone check when Beth Phoenix's Legends contract ends with WWE, as she could be an asset to the promotion both on the mic and in the ring should she want to continue working the occasional match. | https://clutchpoints.com/aew-worlds-end-adam-copeland-edge-s-out-christian-cage-to-become-tnt-champion-but-theres-a-catch | 2024-01-01T03:14:14Z |
Sleep could help fight against infection: study
08:49, 15 February 2019
ASTANA. KAZINFORM - Sleep could enhance the target ability of immune cells inside human body to help fight off infection, a recent study said, Xinhua has learned.
"This finding shows that sleep has the potential to enhance the efficiency of effector T cell responses," according to the report.
Researchers said that compared with the wake condition, sleep significantly increased the mean fluorescence intensity of T cells, a type of white blood cell that fights off infection inside human body.
"Our results demonstrate that a couple of hours of sleep loss suffice to reduce the adhesion capacity of antigen-specific T cells," according to the study published Tuesday in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
The findings could help develop new therapeutic strategies with the aim of improving the target ability of T cells, especially when they are killing tumor cells. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/sleep-could-help-fight-against-infection-study_a3498476/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:13Z |
Celtics extend winning streak to 6 games with a 134-101 rout of the Spurs
By RAUL DOMINGUEZ Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Jayson Tatum scored 25 points, Jaylen Brown added 24 and the Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to six games with a 134-101 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
Derrick White scored 17 points against his former team, and Kristaps Porzingis added 14 points and nine rebounds in his return after missing one game due to a calf injury.
Devin Vassell scored 22 points and Victor Wembanyama had 21 points and seven rebounds for San Antonio. The Spurs have lost seven of eight.
Boston closed out the month of December with a 12-2 record.
The matchup between the top team in the Eastern Conference and the last-place team in the West played out as expected.
Boston led by as many as 37 points and sat its starters for most of the fourth quarter.
San Antonio never led and trailed by 35 points or more in a game for the sixth time this season.
Wembanyama and Vassell scored San Antonio's first 17 points.
The pair combined to shoot 5 for 20 from the field in the opening quarter. The rest of the Spurs went 2 for 14. San Antonio finished 12 for 44 from 3-point range.
Wembanyama provided some of the few highlights for Spurs fans.
The 7-foot-3 rookie followed up a reverse slam off an alley-oop pass from Tre Jones with a 3-pointer that cut Boston's lead to 38-29 in the second quarter.
Boston limited San Antonio to one offensive rebound in the first half, and held a 23-14 advantage in total rebounds.
Lower back spasms kept Keldon Johnson out of the game, and the Spurs' second unit struggled without the forward.

Winning cures everything. And for the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning is helping the team come together. For a locker room that’s had some issues this season, wide receiver George Pickens said the team is coming together, and it’s making things “feel different.” Pickens also talked about how camaraderie can help a team win championships.
“It feels different with guys coming together. I’ve been on a team where camaraderie wins championships. Guys are coming together for sure,” Pickens said via 93.7 The Fan on Twitter.
Pickens has been at the forefront of a lot of the off-the-field drama given his effort in Week 15 and social media activity following Week Nine, but he’s had back-to-back superb performances with Mason Rudolph under center. Over the past two weeks, Pickens has 11 catches for 326 yards and two touchdowns, and he’s emerged as Pittsburgh’s top option at wide receiver. The Steelers have also won both those games and put themselves in a position where a win in Week 18 gives them a decent shot at making the playoffs. Right now, all anyone’s talking about is Pittsburgh’s playoff chances, and Week 15 feels like it was months ago.
Pickens won a national championship at Georgia, and he’s right that camaraderie can be a big factor toward winning. If you know the guy to the left or right of you has your back and is going to fight for you, that’s going to make you want to fight even harder. Building that chemistry and camaraderie isn’t something that should take until Week 17, but the important thing is it’s there with this Steelers team right now.
It’s a crucial time, as if the Steelers lose in Week 18, they’re going to need a lot of help to make the playoffs. Now more than ever, it’s important for this team to stick together as a unit and fight for a common goal, which is to make the playoffs and win in the playoffs. Cameron Heyward said the Steelers know they’re talented enough to be a playoff team, so just making it won’t be a cause for celebration. I guess it’s better to come together and peak too early rather than too late. If the Steelers continue to come together and build relationships, hopefully, they’ll be able to get their first playoff win since 2016, if they can make it in. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/george-pickens-it-feels-different-with-steelers-coming-together-as-team/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:15Z |

Israeli jets have intensified attacks on central Gaza, residents and medics say, as battles raged through the rubble of towns and refugee camps in a war that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said would take “many more months” to end.
Netanyahu’s comments signal no let-up in a campaign that has killed many thousands and levelled much of Gaza, while his vow to restore Israeli control over the enclave’s border with Egypt raises new questions over an eventual two-state solution.
Air strikes pounded al-Maghazi and al-Bureij in the centre of Gaza on Sunday, killing 10 people in one house and driving more to flee to Rafah on the border with Egypt from front lines where Israeli tanks are battling Hamas fighters.
Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
As the year drew to a close, Palestinians in Gaza were praying for a ceasefire but had little optimism that 2024 would be better.
“Gaza has been destroyed and we have nowhere to live. But we just want to stop hearing the sounds of planes and drones, for children to stop being afraid, and for us and our loved ones, those who are left, to meet again,” said Suzan Khader in Rafah.
The stated goal of Israel’s military is to eliminate Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a surprise cross-border assault on Israeli towns on October 7, killing 1200 people, mostly civilians, and grabbing 240 hostages.
Israel’s air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people according to health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza, with many more feared dead in the rubble, and pushed nearly all its 2.3 million people from their homes.
Palestinian health ministry casualty figures do not differentiate between fighters and civilians, but the ministry has said 70 per cent of Gaza’s dead were women and under-18s.
Israel disputes Palestinian casualty figures and says it has killed 8000 fighters.
The war and lack of supplies have left 40 per cent of Gazans at risk of famine, the Gaza director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said on social media on Saturday.
Israel blockaded most food, fuel and medicine after the October 7 attack. It said on Sunday it was ready to let ships from some Western countries deliver aid directly to Gaza’s shores after security checks in Cyprus.
Gemma Connell, an official with the UN humanitarian agency OCHA who has been working in Gaza, said tens of thousands of people fleeing to Rafah had been through attacks and bombardment and had arrived often with no possessions or anywhere to sleep.
The United States, Israel’s main ally, has urged it to scale down the war and European states have signalled alarm at the extent of Palestinian civilian suffering.
However Netanyahu’s comments on Saturday, when he said he would not resign despite opinion polls showing his government is broadly unpopular and defended his security record despite the October 7 attack, indicate there will be no easing any time soon.
He said the “the war is at its height” and Israel would have to retake control of Gaza’s border with Egypt.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry did not immediately comment on Israel’s plans or on whether Hamas weapons had entered Gaza from Egypt.
The war risks morphing into a wider regional conflict involving Hamas ally Iran and groups Tehran supports across the Middle East.
Israel and Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah have exchanged regular cross-border fire, with the Israeli military saying it struck targets in Lebanon on Sunday. Israel has hit Iran-linked targets in Syria. And Iran-backed groups have attacked US targets in Iraq.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group, which has been attacking shipping in the Red Sea for weeks in what it calls a response to Israel’s war in Gaza, attacked a Maersk cargo ship on Saturday and Sunday, the US military said.
US naval helicopters sank three of the four small boats the Houthis had used in Sunday’s attack and drove the fourth back to shore, the military said.
Israel says 174 of its military personnel have been killed in the Gaza fighting, but that its operations are making progress, including by destroying some Hamas tunnels under the enclave.

After an incredible month plus of in-ring matches and (largely) online promos, the Continental Classic officially came to an end at AEW Worlds End, with not one but two matches booked by Tony Khan closing out the event in resounding fashion.
First came the eight-man tag team match between some of the “losing” members of the tournament, with the members of the Blackpool Combat Club plus Mark Briscoe and Danial Garcia going head-to-head with “Switchblade” Jay White, Brody King, Rush, and Jay Lethal for nothing more than intra league bragging rights.
Now, for fans out of the know, placing eliminated members of a tournament in tag team action on a Pay-Per-View is nothing new, as New Japan has been known to do it with the G1, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla does the same during its Battle of Los Angeles every January, but for AEW, who has never done a tournament quite like the C2, it served as a fun way to close out the contest and provide a little extra juice to an event loaded with interesting storylines.
Taking the ring for the opening contest of Worlds End, all eight members of the match were afforded a chance to get in some work, with no one but Jay Lethal looking worse for wear as the match went on, which, based on how his C2 went, is largely by design. After largely feeling like the odd man out in the tournament, Garcia built on his upset win over King by securing the pin on Lethal with a roll-up for the 1-2-3. And the best part? After securing the win and maybe even a shortlist spot in the Blackpool Combat Club, Matt Mennard, his wrestling “Daddy,” allowed him to dance it out in the center of the ring, something he's been reluctant to do for weeks now in the hopes of making the 25-year-old a more “serious” wrestler.
While the C2 would largely be defined by who won the tournament later in the show, this opening contest proved that there are no true losers in a fantastic round-robin tournament, except, again, Jay Lethal, who will likely now leave Jeff Jarrett's faction, in order to return to his babyface ways.

Eddie Kingston earns the win of his career at AEW Worlds End.
In the penultimate match of Worlds End, Eddie Kingston took the ring against Jon Moxley for the grandest prize of them all, the Modern-Day American Triple Crown, the Ring of Honor Championship, the New Japan Strong Openweight Championship, and the brand-spankin' new AEW Continental Championship.
This wasn't so much a David versus Goliath match per se but more so a battle of styles, with an underdog, Mick Foley-esque figure going head to head against a man who did it all at the corporate level and lived to tell the tale, as if Paul “Triple H” Levesque had a really good run in New Japan instead of joining the corporation.
Working a match with surprisingly few gimmicks, Kingston and Moxley beat each other mercilessly until only one man was left standing, an outcome that the crowd was 100 percent bought into, especially if their hometown-ish hero, the “Mad King” was the performer left holding the crown.
And guess what? He was!
That's right, after fighting one of the premier performers all of professional wrestling, arguably the Ace of AEW, Kingston outlasted his long-time friend and occasional rival and finally got a win on Mox when it counted.
What does the future hold for Kingston? Only time will tell, but after securing the win at Grand Slam, Kingston got an even bigger dub on Long Island at Worlds End, proving that maybe, just maybe, he really is the “King of New York” after all.
WAIT. What?!

Claudio Castagnoli celebrates the value of AEW's Continental Classic.
Before taking part in the Continental Classic's penultimate match, Claudio Castagnoli discussed the tournament with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture.
While some wrestlers may not be particularly jazzed about competing in such a grueling, fast-paced tournament, Castagnoli loved it, as the routine allowed him to excel in his professional wrestling efforts.
“To do the Continental Classic, I was super excited. I feel like I’m at my best when I get into a routine, so to speak. With the Continental Classic, it’s like you know you wrestle every week. Then again. looking back, I was like, I pretty much wrestled every week multiple times. [Laughs] So to me, it’s cool. Then I looked at all the talent announced, which is awesome. I was like, there’s not one person that I wouldn’t want to be in the ring with,” Claudio Castagnoli shared via Fightful.
“I saw the brackets or whatever, and the blue group. Every single competitor is top-level, every single competitor, it’s gonna be fun and a big challenge. Every match is gonna be different. Gold Group was fun to watch as well, but I feel like the Blue Group just had so many different styles and competitors in it. It was so much fun, not just for me. I feel like my fellow competitors as well, and for the viewers because you kind of knew what matches you were getting. You knew what the matches were, but you didn’t really one quite when. So it’s cool, and then it gets announced, and you can look forward to it. Then, of course, it all came down to the last day, which was a lot of fun I feel like for everyone watching. It’s not quite over yet. It’s been a very good thing for AEW and the fans. It just brought it down to me, what wrestling is. It’s fun, it’s sports, it’s storytelling, and you’ve seen all the guys do the interviews and the promos and the matches. Everybody put their heart and soul into it, and you can tell.”
If you're a fan of the Continental Classic, then you should be happy, as it sounds like the wrestlers enjoy it too, which is a pretty good indicator that it could and should be back in 2024. | https://clutchpoints.com/aew-worlds-end-the-continental-classic-comes-to-an-incredible-conclusion-on-long-island | 2024-01-01T03:14:20Z |
Frederic scores 2 goals as Bruins win 3rd straight by downing Red Wings, 5-3
By DANA GAURUDER Associated Press
DETROIT - Trent Frederic scored twice, Charlie Coyle had the go-ahead goal and the Boston Bruins beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-3 on Sunday.
Boston forward Pavel Zacha scored an empty-net goal in his 500th regular-season game.
Jake DeBrusk also added an empty-netter and Charlie McAvoy had two assists for the Bruins, who have won three straight. Jeremy Swayman made 25 saves.
Boston beat New Jersey at home Saturday night.
"We have a tough travel with a 5 o'clock game, but we had really good energy and it was nice to pull that one off," Frederic said. "Call it a little bit of a gutsy win."
Jake Walman scored his third goal in two games for Detroit. Ben Chiarot and J.T. Compher had the Red Wings' other goals, and Alex Lyon stopped 23 shots.
"We did some quality things tonight," Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said. "You look back, we easily could have won that game. Probably our most complete 60 minutes from start to finish in a while. It just came against a team with a very slim margin of error to be successful."
The Atlantic Division opponents split their four-game season series.
Frederic scored his first goal of the game with 51.8 seconds left in the first period. David Pastrnak flicked the puck out of his own zone as Frederic got behind Detroit's defenders. Frederic backhanded the puck over Lyon's left shoulder.
"Pasta hit a nice little 60-degree wedge shot to me, and I was a little slow, so all I had was the backhand," Frederic said. "I was lucky to get that over his shoulder."
Frederic crashed into Lyon, who was checked out by the team's trainer but remained in the game.
Frederic's second goal and ninth of the season came at 4:25 of the second. He skated in along the right boards and wristed a shot that whistled through Lyon's pads.
"I think he's playing faster," Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. "He's underrated as to how great a skater he is, and now he's going north consistently instead of delaying, which he did a lot. He's opening up space for himself and he's got great hands."
Walman notched his ninth goal this season at 13:01. He lifted a shot from the left circle over Swayman's shoulder.
Chiarot scored his third goal later in the period from the slot to tie it at 2. Boston's challenge of goalie interference was denied.
Boston regained the lead at 3:52 of the third. McAvoy passed the puck to Coyle, who scored his 13th goal from the slot.
DeBrusk's empty-netter came with 2:01 remaining. Following a Boston penalty, Compher scored on a rebound with 1:22 left.
Detroit had gone 0 for 5 on the power play before Compher's goal.
"I thought we had chances," Compher said. "It wasn't perfect tonight. You're judged on goals and we weren't able to capitalize early in the game."
Zacha's empty-netter with 24 seconds to go clinched the Bruins' victory.

Last month, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris stated that the identity of the offense, which was struggling to find itself, was running the football.
Down the stretch this season for the Steelers, that has certainly been the case. It was the main point of emphasis on Sunday in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks, too. The run game led the way for the Steelers as Pittsburgh punished the Seahawks on the ground in a 30-23 win, improving to 9-7 on the season.
The Steelers ran for 202 yards and three touchdowns and racked up 468 yards of total offense on the day, the most complete offensive showing the Steelers have had in quite some time.
For Harris, who spoke to reporters after the win, the Steelers’ offense is doing a good job right now of “knowing what we’re doing” and executing the game plan put together by interim offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner and interim play-caller Mike Sullivan.
“I think that we’re doing a good job right now of knowing what we’re doing. Not every game is gonna look like this,” Harris stated to reporters, according to video via Steelers.com. “And I know the past game that I said that we looked good one week and another week, you guys might ask, ‘Well, what’s wrong with it?’ Well, it’s just football. Like, not every time is gonna be amazing and great plays and great performances. But if we just stick together like we did and really just believe and execute the game plan, I think that things like this will show up.
“So really just a good job by the o-line and the receivers and coach Sully [Mike Sullivan] and coach Faulk [Eddie Faulkner] of just doing what they have to do and establishing the run, and really executing the game plan that they provided.”
It’s not always going to be pretty like it was in Seattle for the Steelers’ offense. But when the team can execute the way that it did throughout Sunday’s 30-23 win, especially in the run game, big days are going to happen for the Steelers.
When the offensive line can come out and control the line of scrimmage, take over the game and really establish themselves physically, everything comes together for the Steelers’ offense. With a physical, consistent run game, things open up in the passing game downfield, especially off play-action.
Things opening up in the passing game helps out the offensive line in pass protection, too, as teams will start to drop more defenders into coverage to try and combat the passing game, leaving less pass rushers to deal with as well.
It all goes hand in hand, as Harris stated. The Steelers, at least in the last two weeks, are doing a great job of executing the game plan, believing in said plan, and really understanding their assignments on a snap-by-snap basis. Sounds simple for an NFL player, but it goes a long, long way in today’s NFL.
We’re seeing that more and more consistently with the Steelers these last two weeks. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/najee-harris-believes-steelers-offense-doing-a-good-job-of-knowing-what-were-doing/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:21Z |

Daniel A. Jereb, 57, passed away Friday Dec. 22, 2023, with his family at his side. He was a former resident of Rock Springs, Puerto Rico, and League City, Texas.
Dan was born in Rock Springs, the son of Alfred and Dana (Smith) Jereb.
Dan grew up in southwest Wyoming where he found himself helping at the ‘ranch’ owned by Alexander and Joan Radosevich comprising of several ranching sites south of Rock Springs in Wyoming and Utah at Brown’s Park with Steve and Arlie. He often spoke of the value of his upbringing at the ranch working long hours and witnessing the vast beauty of the high desert and mountains.
He attended schools in Rock Springs, Wyoming and graduated from Rock Springs High School with the class of 1985. He attended Western Wyoming Community College.
Following his father’s lead, Dan enlisted with the United States Navy in 1987, where his naval schooling took him to boot camp in San Diego and specialized training at Great Lakes Training Base in Great Lakes, Illinois completing training as electronics technician (ET) with E-6 classification until his honorable discharge.
Dan attended New Hampshire College graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1994 concurrently while serving his country in the Navy where he met his soon-to-be wife Shiloh Righettini of California.
Upon discharge from the Navy, Dan moved home to Rock Springs awaiting the discharge of Shiloh from her Naval commitment. Shiloh and Dan were married in 1995 in Green River.
During his residence in Rock Springs, Dan worked for Questar Pipeline as a communications technician and later worked for Solvay Minerals in various capacities until 2005.
When Shiloh received a transfer of employment, Dan and Shiloh relocated to League City, Texas where the couple built their home. Dan worked for varying petrochemical companies and recently was employed as HR Advisor at INEOS Petroleum until his untimely passing.
Dan and Shiloh were the proud parents of daughter Bailey Jereb (24) of Loveland, Colorado and son Greyson (21) of League City, Texas.
While growing up, Dan could be found on horse, motorcycle, ATV – enjoying the open space the Wyoming lifestyle offered. As a child he competed in wrestling, football, baseball, basketball, and track. He was an avid sports-enthusiast and sports trivia expert, and later focused his efforts to golf where he could be found on weekends while not chasing his children in ice hockey and lacrosse across the entire state of Texas – not to mention the United States.
His interests included golf, hunting, fishing, hiking, exploring and travel.
He was preceded in death by his father, Alfred Jereb of Rock Springs, paternal grandparents John and Anna Jereb, and maternal grandparents Dan and Anna Smith.
Survivors include his wife, two children, his mother Dana Jean (Smith) Jereb of Lyman, sister and brother-in-law Jodi (Gil) Levanger of Lyman, several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A celebration of life will be conducted Jan. 27, 2024, in League City, Texas and at a date to be determined in Rock Springs and Cora. | https://www.sweetwaternow.com/daniel-a-jereb-1966-december-22-2023/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=daniel-a-jereb-1966-december-22-2023 | 2024-01-01T03:14:22Z |

David Warner has announced his retirement from one-day international cricket in the lead-up to his final Test match.
The veteran opener said the time was right to conclude his ODI career following Australia’s 2023 World Cup triumph in India, where he was the side’s leading run-scorer.
Warner had been contemplating retiring since before the tournament and went public with his decision at a press conference on Monday ahead of his Test swansong at the SCG this week.
Watch, Stream & Catch Up with Australia's Home of Cricket on 7plus >>
“It was a decision that I was very, very comfortable with,” the 37-year-old said.
“To win in India, from where we were, was absolutely amazing.
“When we lost two games in a row in India, the bond just got stronger with each other and it’s not by fluke or by chance that we were able to get to where we were.
“It’s a great decision I think I’ve made. I’ve got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I think I’m definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well.”
Warner retires as the sixth-highest run-scorer in Australian ODI history, having amassed 6932 runs from his 161 matches.
His 22 centuries are the second-most by any Australian ODI player, behind only Ricky Ponting, who made 29 in 105 more innings than Warner played.
If called upon, Warner would be open to making a comeback at the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
The Champions Trophy is among the only pieces of silverware missing from Warner’s resume; the last time Australia won it in 2009, he was not yet a lock for selection in the XI.
“If I’m playing decent cricket in two years’ time and I’m around and they need someone, I’m going to be available,” he said.
Warner flagged the decision to quit ODIs would create more opportunities to play franchise cricket overseas.
He is also keen to continue playing in the BBL, currently holding a contract with the Sydney Thunder through to the end of this season.
He has been a fixture of the IPL since 2009 but amid a busy international schedule, he has never featured in the Pakistan Super League or England’s The Hundred.
Warner has played one season each in the Caribbean Premier League and Bangladesh Premier League prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“(ODI retirement) does allow me to go and play some other leagues around the world,” he said.
Warner’s final Test match begins on Wednesday at his home ground, where Australia have the chance to complete a 3-0 series whitewash against Pakistan.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban isn't the least bit worried about the Michigan sign-stealing saga ahead of their Rose Bowl matchup on New Year's Day. Saban was asked about the sign-stealing situation during his joint press conference with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh by AL.com's Joe Goodman.
“We’re really not concerned about that. Integrity in the game, I think, is really, really important. Our team has had every opportunity to prepare for this game just like we have every other game. And I think especially when you’re a no-huddle team, you’ve got to adapt and adjust how you communicate with the quarterback. Hopefully one day we’ll get to the NFL system where you just talk to the guy in his helmet. I think that’d be a lot better,” Saban said. “But now we just have to adjust to how we communicate with the quarterback and to change it up and try to not put our players at a disadvantage in any way.”
Goodman in his question also asked what Alabama has been doing to prevent possible sign-stealing and Saban didn't directly answer the question, speaking about his disregard for the saga itself. But, it appears that Alabama has made moves behind the scenes to be cautious, per Alabama wide receiver Isaiah Bond. Bond, in comments at Rose Bowl media availability on Friday, said that Alabama players haven't used their iPad to watch film via the video and data analysis app Catapult out of an abundance of caution to cybersecurity risks.
“It's basically like the app where we record, like film on for practice and stuff like that. And it was like, I guess, like looking at other people's play calls, like during the first eight games or something like that. So we were able to, like, watch film with the team. But personally, we can't watch film because, like, I don't know, some reason with the Michigan stealing signs.”
However, Michigan appears to have taken similar precautions as well and the NCAA launched an investigation into the Catapult app. Also, per USA Today's Dan Wolken, Alabama never confirmed that they took the precautions in response to Michigan's sign-stealing controversy.
Wolken said in his report, “Alabama offensive coordinator Tommy Rees declined several opportunities to elaborate on why the Tide felt the need to protect its practice film,'” Wolken. “But teams typically distribute that type of footage directly to players' iPads via an online cloud storage service. Though nobody said it explicitly, the implication would be that Alabama wanted to take extra precaution against hacking into the film system.”
Nevertheless, Alabama seems to only be focused on the task at hand: winning the Rose Bowl and advancing to another College Football National Championship. And that isn't a bad mindset to have at all. Alabama faces off against Michigan on New Year's Day at 5 PM EST on ESPN. | https://clutchpoints.com/alabama-football-news-nick-saban-on-preparing-for-michigan-amidst-sign-stealing-drama | 2024-01-01T03:14:27Z |
Nutramigen baby formula recalled over possible bacterial contamination
Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition issued a voluntary recall for baby formula that may be contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria, the Food and Drug Administration said Sunday.
While there have been no reports of illnesses connected to Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula products, the company said there was a possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
Illnesses connected to Cronobacter are rare, but they can be deadly in infants, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cronobacter sakazakii, a germ found naturally in the environment, can live in dry foods, including powdered infant formula, powdered milk, herbal teas and starches. Powdered formula can get contaminated in the home after being opened.
A newborn infected by Cronobacter sakazakii last year died just 13 days after his illness started, according to the CDC.
The bacteria can cause severe, life-threatening infections or meningitis, according to the recall alert. Symptoms may include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice, grunting breaths and abnormal movements.
"All product in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria," the company said in the recall notice.
Sunday's recall applies to select batches of Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula for the dietary management of Cows Milk Allergy, sold in 12.6 and 19.8 ounce cans. The Nutramigen, manufactured in June 2023, was primarily distributed in June, July and August. The products have a UPC Code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and a "Use By Date" of Jan. 1, 2025.
"Based on the limited availability of the remaining stock of this special infant formula, it is believed that much, if not all, of the products recalled in the United States have been consumed," according to the recall notice.
Customers who bought Nutramigen should check the bottom of the can to identify whether the batch number is affected. Product with the following batch codes should be disposed of, according to the recall notice:
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans); and
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans).
Customers can contact the company for a refund by calling 866-534-9986 or by emailing consumer.relations@rb.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers opened as 2-point underdogs in Week 18 to the Baltimore Ravens, but the line has quickly moved in the other direction. As of the writing of this post, shortly after the Steelers’ Week 17 win over the Seattle Seahawks, the consensus is the Steelers being favored by 3.5 points, per VSiN.
With the Ravens winning their Week 17 game over the Miami Dolphins, they have secured the first seed in the AFC playoffs. They will get a first round bye, so this Week 18 game against the Steelers is inconsequential for them. Because of that, they will likely opt to rest some of their key starters, including but not limited to QB Lamar Jackson.
They will still put a competitive team out on the field. The 53-man roster limit in the NFL won’t allow for them to rest everybody, but the point remains that the Steelers will benefit from Baltimore resting of key players. This explains why the line moved so dramatically from plus-2 to minus-3.5 for the Steelers.
The over/under movement also reflects that oddsmakers believe the Ravens are set to rest key players. After opening at 44.5, the point total is now set at 37.5. There is no other reason for the over/under to drop so dramatically, especially given the Steelers’ recent success on offense and the Ravens’ 56-point performance in a blowout win over the Dolphins.
Entering the final week of the season, the Steelers are allowing an average of 18.9 points per game to opposing teams. This is the seventh-best mark in the league. The Ravens are allowing 15.4 points per game, which is the top mark in the NFL, so the defenses of both teams are playing into the over/under as well.
The Steelers and Ravens played each other earlier in the season in Week Five and the Steelers won that game, 17-10. In hindsight, that was one of the Ravens’ worst performances of the season. The 2022 season also saw the Steelers and Ravens play each other in the final week of the season and the Steelers won that game, 16-13, in overtime. Back in the 2019 season, the Ravens had clinched the first seed in the playoffs heading into their Week 17 game against the Steelers and rested some of their starters. Despite the starters resting, the Steelers lost that game 28-10. While the Steelers’ chances look good for Week 18 on paper, history says pump the brakes. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/steelers-are-3-5-point-favorites-over-ravens-in-season-finale/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:27Z |
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ring in the new year at Chiefs game in Kansas City
Taylor Swift is ringing in the new year with Travis Kelce in Kansas City at the last Chiefs game of the year.
In video shared on social media, Swift was seen arriving at Arrowhead Stadium, sporting a letterman-style jacket with the Chief’s and NFL logos on it, paired with a sleek all-black ensemble comprised of a shirt, pants and high-heeled boots.
The "Style" singer wore her hair down and loose, with a single small braid sure to spark a new trend, all tied together with her signature red lip.
Swift took her spot in the Chiefs' suite to enthusiastically cheer Kelce on during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

EX-NFL STAR PUSHES BACK ON NARRATIVE TAYLOR SWIFT IS DISTRACTION FOR CHIEFS
Fans noted that Swift’s Chiefs letterman-style jacket matched one worn by Kelce last week, designed by Jeff Hamilton.
On Hamilton’s Instagram page, he posted a photo of Kelce wearing the look and responded to a fan comment saying Swift needed one with, "You know she has it already."
Swift’s appearance marks her ninth appearance at a game since she began dating Kelce. The "Cruel Summer" singer spent Christmas Day with her parents, Scott and Andrea, and brother, Austin, in the suite together.
The family got festive for the occasion with Swift wearing a Santa hat with Kelce's number, 87, on the brim, while her brother Austin wore a Santa costume.
The couple first sparked dating rumors in September after she appeared at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him play. In a recent interview with TIME, Swift clarified the timeline of their relationship, noting that her attendance was not their first outing together.

"By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple," Swift explained. "I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
Swift is due back on the road for her Eras tour beginning on February 7 in Japan. She has three shows in Tokyo, the last on Feb. 10, then a short break before picking up again in Australia on Feb. 16. | https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-ring-in-the-new-year-at-chiefs-game-in-kansas-city | 2024-01-01T03:14:28Z |

13:31, 13 February 2019
ASTANA. KAZINFORM - Kazhydromet Weather Service has informed on the weather predicted in Kazakhstan from 14th through 16th February, Kazinform reports.
"The active cloud masses associated with the cyclone moving through Central Asia will cause precipitation (heavy in some areas), as well as patchy fog and ice slick in southern and southeastern Kazakhstan. And the atmospheric fronts, which will move from European Russia, will bring scattered snowfalls, blizzards, strong gusty winds first to the western and then to the central and northern regions of the country, and, on February 16, to eastern Kazakhstan," Kazhydromet informs.
According to the weather forecasters, tropospheric flows will mostly move westwards and southwestwards. Therefore, in most regions, air temperatures are expected to be near and even 2..4 degrees C higher than the climate normal. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/snowfalls-and-blizzards-expected-in-kazakhstan-in-coming-days_a3497806/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:27Z |

Two-time grand slam champion Petra Kvitova has announced she is pregnant with her first child.
The 33-year-old, who is currently ranked No.17 in the world, shared the news on her Instagram account.
“On the first day of 2024 I wanted to wish you a happy new year and share the exciting news that Jiri and I will be welcoming a baby into our family this summer!” She wrote alongside two pictures of herself and husband Jiri Vanek.

The post was inundated with comments and likes from current and former players, including retired Australian legend Ash Barty.
“Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” Barty, who became a mother last year, wrote.
Kvitova and Vanek, who is Kvitova’s coach, were married last year.
Vanek is a former tennis player and coached former world No.1 Karolina Pliskova before teaming up with Kvitova in 2016.
They became romantically involved in 2021 before Vanek proposed at Wimbledon in 2022.
Kvitova has been a consistent top-20 player on the WTA Tour and reached as high as No.2 in 2011.
She has won Wimbledon twice (2011 and 2014) and was also runner-up to Naomi Osaka in the 2019 Australian Open.
Kvitova was an inclusion when the Australian Open entry list was released in early December.
It was not immediately known if her pregnancy news would change her plans for the first grand slam tournament of the year, which begins on January 14.
Kvitova’s pregnancy announcement follows Belinda Bencic, who last November revealed she is expecting her first child this year.
It also comes as superstar Naomi Osaka returns to the court following the birth of her child.
The former world No.1 and four-time major champion will begin her comeback at the Brisbane International, drawn to face Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch.
Potential examinations against Karolina Pliskova, Jelena Ostapenko and Victoria Azarenka await on Pat Rafter Arena if the Japanese star can negotiate her first match since September 2022.
Osaka said motherhood had given her greater physical strength but also developed her character.
“I’m a lot more open-minded, a lot more patient,” she said.
“I’m excited to be back. I haven’t worn headphones around the site since I’ve been back.
“I never tried having conversations with other players before, and I think I definitely put a large wall up.
“Now I find myself interacting with people. It’s just really cool.”

Heading into Week 17, there were still many different directions the 2023 season could go for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While there is still much to be determined, including their ultimate playoff fate, we do know a few things. We know they are still alive heading into the finale. We know they will have a winning season.
And we know they will not finish last in the division, continuing a streak that stretches for decades—for whatever it might be worth to you. They have never finished in last place in the AFC North, which was created in 2002. Previously part of the defunct AFC Central, the last time the Steelers finished at the bottom of the divisional standings was in 1989.
The Baltimore Ravens’ Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars assured that the Steelers could not win the division, since it was Baltimore’s 11th win and Pittsburgh by then could not achieve 11 victories. The Cleveland Browns, now at 11-5, recently achieved the feat of finishing ahead of the Steelers in the standings for the first time in 34 years.
But with the Steelers’ win over the Seattle Seahawks today and the Cincinnati Bengals’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh is assured to finish third in the division ahead of Cincinnati. The Steelers are now 9-7, the Bengals 8-8, and the latter cannot win the tiebreaker even if they win and Pittsburgh loses next week because the Steelers won the season series 2-0.
As a matter of fact, the day’s proceedings resulted in the Bengals being officially eliminated from postseason contention. They had won the AFC North in each of the past two seasons and represented the conference in the Super Bowl in 2021. They reached the conference finals in 2022 as well, but they had to play much of this season without QB Joe Burrow.
The Steelers are still in contention for the postseason. They must play the Ravens in the finale, but Baltimore is likely to rest a number of starters, making it a somewhat less daunting but still not promising task. They must also get help with losses by either the Jacksonville Jaguars or the Buffalo Bills, among other scenarios, in order to get the help needed to secure either the sixth or seventh seed. Cleveland is locked into the top AFC Wild-Card spot.
With the Steelers guaranteed to finish third in the division, that also means they will be playing the third-place schedule in 2024. The exact teams are yet to be determined of course, but they will play the third-place teams of the AFC South and East and the NFC South. | https://steelersdepot.com/2023/12/steelers-continue-decades-long-streak-of-finishing-ahead-of-last-place-in-division-locked-into-third-with-bengals-loss/ | 2024-01-01T03:14:33Z |
