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.

The New York Knicks made a blockbuster OG Anunoby trade on Saturday, but the team might not be done dealing, according to the latest NBA trade rumors. Before making the Anunoby deal, reports were that the team was interested in making a Dejounte Murray trade with the Atlanta Hawks, and those rumors persist even after giving up assets for the former Toronto Raptors star.
“The Knicks will continue to be active on the trade market, league sources told HoopsHype. As previously reported by HoopsHype, the Knicks have been targeting Anunoby and Hawks guard Dejounte Murray,” Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported on Saturday. “While losing Quickley seemingly hurts a potential trade package for Murray on paper, Murray remains a player the Knicks are interested in acquiring, league sources said.”
The Knicks definitely gave up some major assets in the OG Anunoby trade that also brought former Raptors Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn to the Big Apple as well. In exchange, the Knicks sent RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a Detroit Pistons 2024 second-round pick (likely the 31st pick of the draft) to Toronto.
Knicks can still work a Dejounte Murray trade
New York still has a nice stockpile of assets that could be used to make a Dejounte Murray trade happen.
Specifically, the Knicks still have Evan Fournier’s contract, which at $18.8 million for two more years, matches up perfectly with Murray’s $18.2 million for five years. Also, the Knicks still have a glut of future first-round picks it can send to the Hawks.
In addition to having all its own first-rounders from now until 2030, New Yorks also has protected first-round picks coming in from the Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, and Washington Wizards.
Those assets should allow the Knicks to make a deal for Murray if — as the rumors suggest — they are still interested. | https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-knicks-still-interested-dejounte-murray-trade-despite-losing-assets-raptors-deal | 2024-01-01T03:25:46Z |
Malik Monk has some company for the Dunk of the Year award. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder were hosting the Brooklyn Nets. Things got heated as the game got more tight and more intense. Plays were broken up more due to fierce defensive schemes. This is what prompted Spencer Dinwiddie to just turn the jets on and give Chet Holmgren his Kodak moment for New Year's Eve.
Spencer Dinwiddie wanted the momentum to shift to the side of the Nets. There was no better way to do it than putting one of the most well-known rookies of the current draft class in a poster. Chet Holmgren was just too slow and could not catch the ball at the apex of his dunk.

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) January 1, 2024
The Thunder did get the final laugh when it was all said and done. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made sure that everyone on the team was able to shine. He notched 24 points while dropping six dimes to keep the scoring barrage infectious. This led to six Thunder players scoring in double-digit figures to bury the Nets in a 16-point loss.
However, the visiting team did not go down without swinging. Mikal Bridges was keeping their hopes alive all game. His performance netted him 22 points along with seven rebounds and seven dimes. Dinwiddie was also not just dunking on people. He was able to produce 13 points with five assists.
This dunk was a sweet New Year's Eve gift for all Nets fans in the world. An even better one would be bouncing back from the loss in their next game. | https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-spencer-dinwiddie-embarrasses-chet-holmgren-insane-poster | 2024-01-01T03:25:48Z |
Prince Philip 'pulled strings' for Haile Selassie when the Emperor of Ethiopia wanted his wayward grandson to go to Gordonstoun school
- Prince Philip attended the boarding school in Moray in the 1930s
- He forged a friendship with the emperor during a state visit to Britain in 1954
Its spartan regime was once described as 'Colditz with kilts' by the future King Charles, who endured a torrid time there.
But when the Emperor of Ethiopia requested a place at Gordonstoun school for his wayward grandson, believing its harsh approach would help rein in the prince, the headmaster turned him down.
Undaunted, Haile Selassie invoked one of life's oldest lessons – it's not what you know but who – and called on his friend, the late Duke of Edinburgh.
Papers from 1963 reveal Selassie wrote to headmaster Robert Chew concerned Prince Wossen Seged, then 15 and known to friends as Paul, was going off the rails.
But Chew curtly informed His Imperial Majesty: 'As I am sure you will appreciate, we are booked up for many years to come and I just do not see how I can fit in an extra boy at such very short notice.'
Haile Selassie (pictured) invoked one of life's oldest lessons – it's not what you know but who – and called on his friend, the late Duke of Edinburgh
According to The Sunday Times, British diplomats were then urged to intervene.
Correspondence from the embassy in Addis Ababa to the Foreign Office in London raised fears that the snub could inflame tensions between the two countries.
Sir John Russell, the British ambassador, suggested that senior figures should appeal directly to Chew, pointing out there was 'governmental interest in getting this young Ethiopian prince a sound British education', but held out little hope of him relenting.
Philip attended the boarding school in Moray in the 1930s and forged a friendship with the emperor during a state visit to Britain in 1954
Months later, he was astonished to be informed by the Ethiopian justice minister that Selassie had secured a place for the boy.
Russell wrote: 'The minister said: ''When you were unable to help us we had to pull a few strings of our own''. My guess is that the oracle worked through Prince Philip.'
Philip attended the boarding school in Moray in the 1930s and forged a friendship with the emperor during a state visit to Britain in 1954.

We're set for another prediction and pick for today's NBA slate as we begin coverage of this next cross-conference matchup between two teams hunting for position in their division. The Brooklyn Nets (15-17) will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (21-9) with both teams riding opposite streaks. Check out our NBA odds series for our Nets-Thunder prediction and pick.
The Brooklyn Nets are currently fourth in the Atlantic Division and they occupy the nine-spot in the Eastern Conference standings. They've gone a disappointing 3-7 in their last 10 games and they come into this tilt following back-to-back losses against the Bucks and Wizards. Now, they'll try to cover on the road as sizable underdogs.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are second in the Northwest Division and they're currently just two games back of the Minnesota Timberwolves for the lead in the Western Conference. They've gone an opposite 7-3 in their last 10 and they head into this matchup on a three-game winning streak as they try to extend on their home floor.
Here are the NBA odds, courtesy of FanDuel.

Why The Nets Could Cover The Spread
The Brooklyn Nets have been sliding over the last 10 games and they're needing to turn their fortunes around if they want to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference race. They've been short-handed over the last two games and they've had to make due without Nic Claxton manning the middle. Mikal Bridges has been doing all he can to carry the team in scoring, but the reality is that they'll need their key center to make games more interesting on the defensive end of the floor. Dorian Finney-Smith has seen a ton of success this year with his three-point shot, so it wouldn't be a bad plan to get him the ball early and try to get him going from deep.
The Nets can stand to win this game if they play hard on the defensive end. The good news is that Claxton could be set to return to action tonight, giving the Nets a massive boost in the paint when trying to contain Chet Holmgren. The Nets rank third in the NBA in rebounds per game and much of that has been credit to Claxton. However, they're great at swarming the ball as a team and securing rebounds into fast break chances. If they can stun this Thunder team early and give them issues on offense, the Nets could make this a close and competitive game.
Why The Thunder Could Cover The Spread
The Oklahoma City Thunder are on another multi-game winning streak and it's been a similar story for them all season. They have yet to lose back-to-back contests and they've done a tremendous job of adjusting their game plans and adapting to the flow of the season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been dominant and will be making his case for an MVP award this year. He'll have a great matchup against the undersized Nets and he should have success finding his patented floater in the paint. Around the rim, Shai should look to get to the free throw line and frustrate Claxton as much as possible in his return. Look for the pick-and-roll game with Chet Holmgren to be in full-effect.
The Thunder had a phenomenal outing in their last game and beat the Denver Nuggets by 26 points on their home floor. It was an important win for the Thunder as they try to assert themselves as the best team in the West. It was also a stern test on the road against a team that they very well may see down the road in the playoffs. The Thunder can get this win tonight if they work the ball from Chet Holmgren and let him attack this Brooklyn defense. They have more weapons on offense and should be able to close this out easily to continue their winning streak.
Final Nets-Thunder Prediction & Pick
With Nic Claxton slated for a return, we should see a great battle between him and Holmgren in the paint all game. I think Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be the x-factor in this game as he has the best positional matchup on the floor. If he can provide another 30+ point scoring performance, his teammates should give him enough reinforcements to cruise to a comfortable win here. Let's take the Thunder for our prediction.

5.0-magnitude earthquake strikes northwest Turkey
ISTANBUL. KAZINFORM A 5.0-magnitude earthquake hit Turkey's northwest late Wednesday, the disaster authority said, Anadolu Agency reports.

The earthquake occurred at 9.23 p.m. (1823 GMT) as the epicenter was Ayvacik district of Canakkale, 237 miles (384 kilometers) west of Istanbul.
No casualties were reported.
AFAD chief of Canakkale office, Levent Yilmaz, told Anadolu Agency there was not a negative situation or collapse as AFAD teams are doing investigations.
Separately, the Governor's Office in Istanbul said it does not have any negativity in Istanbul as the quake was felt across the region. | https://en.inform.kz/news/5-0-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-northwest-turkey_a3500434/ | 2024-01-01T03:25:58Z |
JACKSON, Miss. — (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won't choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
The state law creating the new court also expands the patrol territory for Capitol Police. The state-run police department previously patrolled near state government buildings in downtown Jackson, but the new law added other parts of the city, including more affluent residential and shopping areas.
In September, the Mississippi Supreme Court struck down the part of the same law that would have required the state chief justice to appoint four circuit judges to serve alongside the four elected circuit judges in Hinds County. The county includes Jackson and is also majority-Black and governed by Democrats.
Justices wrote that longstanding Mississippi law allows the chief justice to appoint some judges for specific reasons, such as to deal with a backlog of cases. But they wrote that “we see nothing special or unique” about the four appointed Hinds County circuit judges in the 2023 law, “certainly nothing expressly tethering them to a specific judicial need or exigency.”

5 killed, 5 policemen wounded in mass shooting in Midwest U.S.
Aurora police chief Kristen Ziman said in a news conference that the gunman, who was also killed and identified as 45-year-old Gary Martin, attacked his place of employment, the Henry Pratt Company in the city, around 65 km west of Chicago, the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois.
The Henry Pratt Company is one of North America's largest manufacturers of valves for potable water, waste water, power generation and industrial markets.
Police officers responded to the shooting just before 1:30 p.m. local time (1930 GMT) and two officers were fired upon immediately as they entered the company's manufacturing building, the chief said.
The motive of the shooting is under investigation.
Sarah Sanders, U.S. President Donald Trump's press secretary, issued a statement that read "The President has been briefed and is monitoring the ongoing situation in Aurora, IL."
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Federal Bureau of Investigation tweeted that agents from their departments were responding to the scene.
This is the third mass shooting where five or more people died since the beginning of this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. And this is also the deadliest mass shooting so far in 2019.

Jaren Hall is out.
After digging a 23-3 halftime hole to the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings benched the rookie quarterback in favor of veteran Nick Mullens.
The decision arrives days after head coach Kevin O'Connell benched Mullens in favor of Hall for Sunday's game. With Minnesota's playoff hopes at stake, O'Connell made another switch with the hope that Mullens could spark a comeback. | https://www.wsbtv.com/news/national/vikings-bench-qb/RXQTYOM6SYDZ6SBMZQQI5AJB4I/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:05Z |
The Portland Trail Blazers have wrapped up 2023 with a record of 9-22.
By all accounts, they've managed to accomplish most of their goals for the early part of the season. The Blazers have given their young players extensive minutes, they've maximized their lottery odds, and they've remained relatively competitive in a significant number of their losses.
But despite the modified expectations of a rebuilding club, everything hasn't been perfect for Portland. As we flip the page to 2024, here some New Year's resolutions the Blazers need to make:
Defend the paint
This one is understandable, but still needs to improve. Points in the paint are usually generated in two main ways – offensive rebounding and perimeter penetration. The Blazers are a decent rebounding team, but the young guards have really struggled allowing players to get inside. It also seems like at least once per game, especially early in the season, an opponent off the ball was able to sneak away from his defender for an easy catch-and-dunk.
The Blazers currently ranked 28th in the NBA with more than 57 points in the paint allowed per game. While it's not realistic to shoot for the top defenses in the league, allowing a more pedestrian 45 points in the paint a night should be a realistic goal.
Keep Scoot off the leash
Blazers rookie Scoot Henderson has started consistently flashing his unlimited potential over the last 10 games. In that span, he's averaging 15.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3 rebounds, and shooting 43 percent from the 3-point line in 29 minutes per game.
After a brutal opening stretch to his career, compounded by an ankle injury, Scoot has shown that he's a quick study. He's picking his spots, adjusting tempo, and making the right pass.
But the Blazers have a logjam at the guard spots. Anfernee Simons has erupted this season as the team's best scorer while showing that he is able to run the point. Shaedon Sharpe needs his minutes and may be a hair undersized to play small forward for more than spot minutes. And then there's reigning 6th Man of the Year Malcom Brogdon, a steady presence that can play both guard positions as needed.
Clearly, there aren't enough minutes to go around for the Blazers' guards. While the team likes having Brogdon around to mentor Sharpe and Henderson, expect the Blazers to listen to offers for Brogdon near the deadline. Similar speculation has surrounded Jerami Grant, but it doesn't make sense for Portland to move ALL of their vets. But in Brogdon's case, he's a guy that can help virtually any contender while netting a decent return and clearing the runway for Henderson to continue his ascent.
Continue to develop bench synergy
The Blazers have started to see promising results with some of their various bench lineups of late. Part of this is born of necessity; Coach Chauncey Billups has had to shuffle lineups around due to injuries and foul trouble. Lately, the team has had success in short bursts with a lineup featuring reserves Jabari Walker, Duop Reath, Matisse Thybulle, Henderson, and one of Simons or Brogdon.
That group has had moment where they've found an extra gear, leading to buckets with their defense. Coach Billups said last week that the team sometimes forgets that “we're a defensive team first.” The Blazers need to resolve not to forget that fact in 2024. With Portland having such a young starting lineup, the bench is key when the starters inevitably show their inconsistency from time to time.
If the Blazers resolve to do these three things, 2024 could show glimpses of what this team could become in the very near future. | https://clutchpoints.com/new-years-resolutions-blazers-2024 | 2024-01-01T03:26:06Z |
While the Jacksonville Jaguars are fighting for their playoff lives, the Carolina Panthers are fighting just to stay afloat. But no matter their intentions, sparks flew between the Jaguars and Panthers in Week 17.
Panthers defensive lineman and Jaguars Cam Robinson were both ejected after a fight in the fourth quarter. With the game taking place in Jacksonville, Robinson was blowing kisses to fans as he exited through the tunnel, via Michel DiRocco of ESPN.
#Panthers DT Derrick Brown and #Jaguars OT Cam Robinson have been ejected after getting into a fight.
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 31, 2023
The Jaguars ended up getting the last laugh, as they came away with a 26-0 victory. They won even with quarterback Trevor Lawrence missing the first game of his career. Carolina hasn't been the toughest competitor however, as they loss dropped the Panthers to 2-14.
Normally, their poor record would at least give Carolina the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, they dealt their pick to the Chicago Bears in the deal that landed them Bryce Young. The Panthers' loss to the Jaguars clinched the No. 1 overall pick for the Bears.
Jacksonville still has their sights on the NFC South title and making the playoffs. Their win against the Panthers snapped a four-game losing streak and kept them ahead of the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts in the South.
The Panthers could've used some fight all season as despite having a new QB in Young looked lifeless all year. Jacksonville has been fighting, and struggling at times to reach their postseason goals. Both Cam Robinson and Derrick Brown saw their emotions flare up in Week 17. As both teams look to improve in the future, they'll both need some fight in them to climb to the top. | https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-derrick-brown-panthers-cam-robinson-jaguars-ejected-fighting-mid-game | 2024-01-01T03:26:08Z |

When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.wsbtv.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:11Z |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Rams (9-7) managed to hang on for a 26-25 win over the Giants (5-11) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Clinging to a 1-point lead early in the fourth quarter, running back Kyren Williams' 28-yard touchdown run gave the Rams some breathing room, but kicker Lucas Havrisik's second missed extra point attempt made it just a 26-19 Los Angeles lead with 12:03 remaining.
The Giants nearly threatened on the ensuing drive with a 47-yard completion from quarterback Tyrod Taylor to wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, but that play was negated by a holding call against them. The Rams forced a turnover on downs on 4th and 1 from their own 33 to get the ball back with 8:38 left, but couldn't capitalize.
Giants wide receiver Gunner Olszewski returned a punt 94 yards for a touchdown, but the ensuing 2-point attempt was unsuccessful, leaving the Rams again clinging to a 1-point lead, 26-25, with 3:27 remaining.
On the ensuing drive, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was sacked for a 10-yard loss on third down, forcing the Rams to punt with 1:17 to go, though the Giants had no time outs left by that point.
A 31-yard scramble by Taylor moved the Giants from their own 35 to the Rams 34 to get New York in field goal range, but kicker Mason Crosby's 54-yard field goal attempt missed wide left, allowing the Rams to hang on for the 1-point win.
Williams finished with 20 carries for 87 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Stafford completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 317 yards with 1 touchdown against 2 interceptions, while wide receiver Puka Nacua.
Defensively, nose tackle Kobie Turner notched 2.5 sacks to reach 9 on the season, tying Aaron Donald's franchise rookie record. Donald added two sacks himself.
Nose tackle Bobby Brown III left the game in the first half with a knee injury and was initially deemed questionable to return before being downgraded to out early in the third quarter.
Here is the complete game recap:
The Rams got on the board first with a 4-yard touchdown run by Williams to take a 7-0 lead with 3:07 left in the first quarter, a scoring play set up by an 18-yard catch-and-run by tight end Tyler Higbee.
However, the Giants answered with a 24-yard touchdown run by wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson to tie the game 7-7 early in the second quarter.
A Stafford interception on a pass intended for Nacua late in the first half gave the Giants the ball at their own 38, but they were unable to come away with anything after a turnover on downs on 4th and 1 from their own 47 because of a botched exchange between center John Michael Schmitz and quarterback Tyrod Taylor.
Taking over at the Giants 46, the Rams capitalized with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Cooper Kupp at the end of the ensuing possession to take a 14-7 lead with 1:44 to go in the first half.
Los Angeles defensive back Jordan Fuller made a timely interception near the sideline with 1:07 left in the first half, but the ensuing offensive series for L.A. was short-lived. On the next play, wide receiver Demarcus Robinson fumbled, and it was recovered and returned 3 yards by New York to the L.A. 46.
A 31-yard field goal by Giants kicker Mason Crosby on the following drive as time expired cut the Rams' lead to 14-10 at halftime.
Taking advantage of a defensive stop to open the second half, the Rams extended their lead to 20-10 on a 2-yard touchdown run by Williams set up by an 80-yard, catch-and-run by Nacua.
The Giants wouldn't go quietly, though. An 80-yard touchdown pass from Taylor to wide receiver Darius Slayton cut the Rams' lead to 3 with 4:39 left in the third quarter.
On the ensuing possession, Stafford was intercepted a second time by safety Dane Belton, giving the Giants the ball at the Rams 34 after a 20-yard return. New York capitalized via a 32-yard field goal by Crosby to cut Los Angeles' lead to 20-19 with 13:24 left in the fourth quarter. New York settled for a field goal after a big pass breakup by Rams defensive back Derion Kendrick in the endzone.
Williams' 28-yard touchdown run gave the Rams some distance from the Giants, but Havrisik's missed extra point attempt still kept things close at 26-19 with 12:03 remaining.
Nine minutes later, Olszewski's punt return for a touchdown cut the Rams' lead to 1 again – the Giants went for 2 but were unsuccessful.
Forced to punt on the ensuing possession, the Rams saw the Giants take over at their own 35 and enter field goal range with Taylor's 31-yard scramble, but Crosby's miss – coupled with the Giants being out of timeouts – allow the Rams to drain the remaining 30 seconds to secure the win.

The Federal Government through the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, (NUPRC), has disclosed that it plans to conduct an oil licensing round in 2024, to attract new investors and increase investment that will ultimately raise Nigeria’s oil reserves toward 40 billion barrels, from the present 37 billion barrels.
The Commission Chief Executive, NUPRC, Engr. Gbenga Komolafe disclosed this in a policy statement obtained by New Telegraph on Sunday, December 31, 2023.
He explained that the planned licensing round is in line with Section 73 of the nation’s Petroleum Industry Act, PIA, a comprehensive legislation aimed at achieving increased investment, restructuring as well as transparency and accountability in the industry.
Komolafe said: “The Commission shall, beginning 2024, conduct all future licensing rounds based on a Licensing Round Plan and modern acreage licensing practices, to include the periodicity of licensing based on predictability of timelines and long-term national economic and developmental agenda.
“ The exercise will enable Nigeria to accomplish set objectives, including the generation of funds, attracting fresh investments in exploration and development, meeting exploration or production targets, increasing reserves, advancing bilateral relationships, promoting indigenous participation and domestic wealth and monetising its gas resources for enhanced domestic supply or to expand global market share.
“In accord with the commercial regulation mandate of the Commission as enshrined in Section 4 of the PIA, the Commission would, in 2024 and the near term, pursue strategies aimed at optimising the unit cost of production for oil and gas by driving the reduction of the current average unit cost of production in all terrains to below $20 per barrel, in the near term from current sub-optimal levels of $25-40 per barrel.”
He added: “In 2024, the Commission will optimise the functionality of automation systems by enhancing the efficiency of existing optimising tools and the streamlined deployment of new ones. The use of productivity tools and electronic communication channels will be entrenched to improve customer interface, reduce logistics, and deepen ease of compliance.
“The NUPRC will ensure 100% use of the National Production Monitoring System (NPMS), the Annual Work Programme Portal, the Dynamic Acreage Management System (DAMS), the HOSTCOMPLY, and the Oil and Gas Industry Service Permit (OGISP) automation tools by the Commission and the industry.”
“In furtherance of the mandates in Sections 6(h) & 66(e) of the PIA, the Commission has conducted a review of the state of the upstream oil and gas industry in Nigeria to enunciate appropriate strategies for encouraging and facilitating investment in the industry as well as encouraging new entrants.”
He noted the relatively low oil output due to security challenges, reduced investments, and energy transition-induced defunding of fossil fuels.
“The Commission, in collaboration with relevant government entities, is pursuing measures to complement the kinetic efforts of security forces, to grow oil production progressively to 1.8 MMBOPD – 2.6 MMBOPD and gas to about 10 BSCFD within the period. These interventions include operational optimisation and enablers to delivering high-impact projects within the portfolios of Producers.”
“Commencing in 2024, the Commission will commence the implementation of the proposed measures anchored on the seven (7) pillars of the Framework through the issuance of Advisory on Best Practices, Notices, Directives, Guidelines and Regulations. Moreover, the NUPRC shall drive compliance with GHG reporting and ESG measures as provided in the methane guidelines and the timelines stated therein.”
“Based on the provisions of Paragraphs 8 (1) and 23 (1&2) of the Seventh Schedule of the PIA, the Commission has established an Oil and Gas Pricing and Value Monitoring Desk to study trends and assumptions and advise in tandem with market realities. The Desk will carry on market analysis and forecasts that will avert undue exposure to Nigeria and industry stakeholders.” | https://newtelegraphng.com/fg-plans-oil-licensing-round-in-2024-1-8m-bpd-oil-output/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:12Z |

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.

5-year-old survives building collapse in Istanbul
Havva Tekgoz remained buried underneath for nearly 18 hours, said Istanbul Governor Ali Yerlikaya.
A seven-story building collapsed on Wednesday in Kartal district with some 30 residents inside.
So far, three people have died and 13 others have been injured, with three in critical condition. The surrounding buildings were evacuated due to safety concerns.
Yerlikaya, speaking at the crisis desk established near the collapse area, pointed out that the rescue teams of Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) first contacted the child while she was under debris and comforted her.
He added that she was later rescued and taken to the nearest health facility.
The governor said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was closely following the developments and Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu monitored rescue operations till dawn.
Environment and Urbanization Minister Murat Kurum on Thursday said the rescue teams have heard voices from the debris and vowed continued efforts to reach survivors. | https://en.inform.kz/news/5-year-old-survives-building-collapse-in-istanbul_a3495961/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:11Z |
It's the final day of the year 2023, but if you're an NFL fan, that means you're partying like it's 1999. Now, what on earth could I possibly mean by that?
The 2023 NFL season has felt slightly abnormal for multiple reasons, but here's one of them… this is the first NFL season since 1999 that Tom Brady hasn't been on an NFL roster. That's right, this is the first NFL season in the 21st Century that the greatest quarterback to ever live has not been in the league. But if you take what Tom Brady wrote in his year-end Instagram post seriously — and let's just be honest, if we're talking only about the “PS,” then you shouldn't — it was only because friends intervened that we didn't see the 46-year-old Brady playing this season.
Looking back on 2023 grateful for every moment. Cherishing the highs, learning from the lows, and looking forward to what’s coming next. I’m blessed to have family and friends filled with so much love, joy, and compassion surrounding me. As you get older, you realize that this is really the only thing that matters, and I’ll never take these people for granted. Hug your kids, call your parents, tell your friends that you love them, and let’s all help make 2024 a kinder and happier year for everyone in our lives ❤️
(PS: The only downside to 2023 was when I was about to unretire in May and my friends threw a surprise retirement party. Kind of forced my hand 😂)
Knowing what we do about the kind of competitor Tom Brady is, there's probably a sliver of truth to this — I don't think there's a scenario where Brady would've actually returned to the NFL, whether that be with the Patriots or the Buccaneers, but I do believe that the thought of playing football has probably crossed his mind every single day since he retired for the second time. My hope is that when Brady turns 50, a ready-made contender will lose their starting quarterback three weeks before the Playoffs, which would prompt the soon-to-be geriatric quarterback to return to the league to try to capture his 8th Super Bowl ring. | https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-tom-brady-hilariously-fires-up-unretirement-rumors-again-end-year-instagram-post | 2024-01-01T03:26:14Z |

WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were injured after an argument at a Walmart store in Michigan escalated into gunfire on Sunday, authorities said.
The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported. It was also unclear whether the suspects and the male victim knew one another, according to the television station. | https://www.wsbtv.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:17Z |

JACKSON, Miss. — (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won't choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
The state law creating the new court also expands the patrol territory for Capitol Police. The state-run police department previously patrolled near state government buildings in downtown Jackson, but the new law added other parts of the city, including more affluent residential and shopping areas.
In September, the Mississippi Supreme Court struck down the part of the same law that would have required the state chief justice to appoint four circuit judges to serve alongside the four elected circuit judges in Hinds County. The county includes Jackson and is also majority-Black and governed by Democrats.
Justices wrote that longstanding Mississippi law allows the chief justice to appoint some judges for specific reasons, such as to deal with a backlog of cases. But they wrote that “we see nothing special or unique” about the four appointed Hinds County circuit judges in the 2023 law, “certainly nothing expressly tethering them to a specific judicial need or exigency.”

69 killed in devastating Bangladesh fire
Mahfuz Riven, a duty officer of the Fire Service and Civil Defence, told Xinhua that the fire, triggered by an explosion of a gas cylinder, quickly spread into a chemical warehouse on the ground floor of a five-storey building, and tore through a row of crowded buildings in Chawkbazar in the old part of the city.
"The fire that originated at about 11:00 p.m. local time Wednesday following explosion of the cylinder killed 69 people," he said.
Abdur Rahim, an eye-witness, told Xinhua on site Thursday morning that the fire broke out to the entire area within five minutes after the explosion, keeping no scope for many to escape for safe place.
"I can't tell you what a horrendous situation it was then in Chawkbazar area," he said.
According to the fire service officials, thirty-seven units of firefighters brought the fire under control at around 3:00 a.m. local time on Thursday, but they have still been working to extinguish burning materials.
The death toll is feared to rise as rescue operation has not finished till filing of this report Thursday. | https://en.inform.kz/news/69-killed-in-devastating-bangladesh-fire_a3500485/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:19Z |
The Washington Commanders recently benched quarterback Sam Howell for Jacoby Brissett, and the team has lost three straight games.
Now, the Commanders could look to move on from head coach Ron Rivera this offseason, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network:
“The Commanders are 0-3 since and this week benched quarterback Sam Howell. So, while no decisions have been finalized, the situation appears to be trending towards major changes, including moving on from coach Ron Rivera.”
There are definitely worse coaching jobs in the NFL than coaching the Commanders. Rapoport and Pelissero say that the Commanders could attract significant interest:
“The Commanders job is more attractive than it's been in decades, thanks to competent ownership, some building blocks on the roster, a potential top-three draft pick and extra draft capital to potentially package and target a new franchise QB.”
Brissett has been surprisingly adequate on the roster, but a hamstring injury leaves his status questionable for Sunday's game. Thus, Washington has made a move for former New York Giants QB Jake Fromm.
Fromm has been signed to the Commanders' roster ahead of Sunday's game. The 25-year-old QB was a fifth-round pick in the 2020 Draft. In his short stint with the Giants, Fromm threw for 210 yards and one touchdown during the 2021 season.
At 4-11, the Commanders are looking ahead to the NFL Draft. Clearly, they need a quarterback. If the season ended right now, Washington would hold the No. 3 pick in the draft. If it loses its last two and Arizona wins one, it could get as high as No. 2. At that point, they could possibly make a play for USC quarterback, and Washington D.C. native, Caleb Williams.
The Commanders take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. | https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-commanders-trending-towards-firing-ron-rivera-offseason | 2024-01-01T03:26:20Z |

FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”
Dog found stabbed 17 times in Nassau County, $5K reward offered for information https://t.co/1rJiYJmwbx pic.twitter.com/HfMGPIGtas
— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.wsbtv.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:23Z |
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Rams head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford each held postgame press conferences with local media following the team's 26-25 win over the Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, discussing the Rams special teams' performance, running back Kyren Williams' 3-touchdown game and more.
Here are some of the highlights and key takeaways from those conversations:
"No, it doesn't (matter how you win at this point in the season), unless you tell me that we get more points for winning for more than one point." – McVay
- It was far from a complementary performance, but the Rams did just enough to come away with the victory on Sunday.
- "I do think there was a lot of things that were uncharacteristic of playing sharp, good football, that I know we're capable of," McVay said.
"That's tough. There's a lot of things that that we have to be better at." – McVay
- McVay wanted to be careful to say too much immediately after the game, and before he could look at the totality of Sunday's special teams performance, but acknowledged it wasn't good enough.
- However, McVay also said there were "a lot of things" not exclusive to special teams – meaning, across all three phases – that also weren't good enough.
"Just excited to be playing meaningful football." – Stafford
- Once 3-6, the Rams have gone 6-1 since that time and remain in the thick of a playoff push thanks to Sunday's win.
- They face the 49ers in San Francisco next week.
"Kyren was patient, you know. It wasn't like every single run was ripping for eight, nine, ten yards." – Stafford
- Williams earned every bit of his 87 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries on Sunday.
- "I thought he did a heck of a job choosing his spots," Stafford said. | https://www.therams.com/news/sean-mcvay-matthew-stafford-postgame-press-conference-giants-week-17 | 2024-01-01T03:26:24Z |

7-story building collapses in Turkey's Istanbul

Dag added that 15 residents are thought to be under the rubble.
He added that a textile shop under the building was empty at the time of collapse.

The name Bill Belichick is perhaps the most iconic name in New England Patriots history besides Tom Brady. His grit has delivered a lot of winning seasons which made rumors about his firing disheartening for some fans. Although, it seems as if his days with the organizations still remain to be numbered. After mentoring Bailey Zappe and Mac Jones, they still ended up with only four wins so far this season. Robert Kraft knows how much the head coach means to the organization. This reasoning may even rule out a firing, via Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
“Kraft is also conscientious of how the Tom Brady situation played out and wants to make sure Belichick's exit, whenever it comes, is handled the right way, making a firing (as opposed to a “mutual parting”) highly unlikely,” was the statement that the notable media men wrote in their latest drop.
Robert Kraft still has a lot of respect for Bill Belichick. More than his eight Super Bowl wins, he has done a great job of cultivating a winning culture in the Patriots system to invite more fans into the franchise. These all really do necessitate at least a proper parting of ways instead of just booting their franchise head coach.
The Patriots had a lot of struggles this year. Quarterback changes from Mac Jones to Bailey Zappe along with injury concerns and miscommunications in drawing up schemes were only some of them. Nonetheless, this should not take away from the astonishing love that Belichick has poured into this team. | https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-patriots-firing-bill-belichick-highly-unlikely | 2024-01-01T03:26:28Z |

DALLAS, Texas — Trailblazing longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a nurse from Texas who helped bring hundreds of millions of federal dollars to the Dallas area as the region's most powerful Democrat, died Sunday. She was 88.
President Joe Biden, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and many other leaders issued statements about her death after her son posted about it on Facebook. The Dallas Morning News also confirmed her death with an unnamed source close to the family. No cause of death was given.
Biden hailed her "immense courage" and called her "an icon and mentor to generations of public servants, through whom her legacy of resilience and purpose will endure."
"She was the single most effective legislator Dallas has ever had," the mayor said in a statement. "Nobody brought more federal infrastructure money home to our city. Nobody fought harder for our communities and our residents' interests and safety. And nobody knew how to navigate Washington better for the people of Dallas."
Eddie Bernice Johnson served in the House for three decades after becoming the first registered nurse elected to Congress and first Black chief psychiatric nurse at Dallas' Veterans Affairs hospital. She went on to become the first Black woman to chair the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and she also led the Congressional Black Caucus. She left office in January after repeatedly delaying her retirement. Before Congress, she served in the Texas legislature.
"For three decades, Chairwoman Johnson was a powerful force in the United States Congress, always focused on the future," House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said in a statement, praising Johnson as "a tenacious trailblazer, a talented legislator and a devoted public servant."
Johnson used her committee leadership position to fight against Republican efforts to block action on climate change. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said Johnson was also "a fierce advocate for expanding STEM opportunities to Black and minority students" who also played a key role in helping the Biden administration pass a major package of incentives for computer chip manufacturers.
She was born in Waco and grew up in the segregated South. Dallas' once-segregated Union Station was renamed in her honor in 2019.
Her own experience with racism helped spur her to get involved in politics. She recalled that officials at the VA hospital were shocked that she was Black after they hired her sight-unseen, so they rescinded their offer for her to live in a dorm on campus. She told The Dallas Morning News in 2020 that officials would go into patients' rooms ahead of her to "say that I was qualified."
"That was really the most blatant, overt racism that I ever experienced in my life," she told the newspaper.
Johnson nearly quit but decided to stick with it.
"It was very challenging," she said. "But any job where you're an African American woman entering for the first time would be a challenge. They had not hired one before I got there. Yes, it was a challenge, but it was a successful venture."

Recent allegations against the American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe from Paula Abdul have gotten a response from him.
The singer Abdul was a judge on the competition show from 2002 to 2009, E! News reports. She stated in her filing against Lythgoe that he groped and kissed her in an elevator without consent. Apparently, this was while they were on a regional audition for American Idol and on the road.
Niegel Lythgoe comments about Paula Abdul's sexual assault allegations
With these allegations, the producer issued a statement.
“To say that I am shocked and saddened by the allegations made against me by Paula Abdul is a wild understatement,” the TV exec said. “For more than two decades, Paula and I have interacted as dear — and entirely platonic — friends and colleagues. Yesterday, however, out of the blue, I learned of these claims in the press and I want to be clear: not only are they false, they are deeply offensive to me and to everything I stand for.”
He added that he “can't pretend to understand exactly why she would file a lawsuit that she must know is untrue.” Also, he said, “But I can promise that I will fight this appalling smear with everything I have.”
Along with American Idol, Lythgoe worked with Abdul on So You Think You Can Dance, where she was co-judged.
The pop star is suing him for sexual assault, sexual harassment, gender violence, and negligence. She mentioned that she has suffered from severe emotional distress, emotional anguish, fear, anxiety, humiliation, embarrassment, and other injuries that stem from the producer's actions.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A South Florida business owner is accused of shooting a landscaper on Friday after the worker allegedly blew leaves onto his property, authorities said.
According to Miami-Dade County online booking records, Claudio Arrendell, 52, was charged with one count of attempted murder.
Police said that Arrendell, the owner of P&P Auto Tire Shop in northwestern Miami-Dade County, got into an argument with the landscaper, WTVJ-TV reported.
A judge gave the business owner no bond on Saturday, after allegedly shooting a landscaper over leaves blown onto his property. Here's the latest: https://t.co/pCUhEtiKi5
— NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) December 31, 2023
Police said the landscaper was working at a property across the street from the business, and Arrendell was allegedly upset that the leaves from the workers were blowing onto his property, according to the television station.
According to police, Arrendell allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the landscaper, WSVN-TV reported.
The victim, who has not been identified, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital and was originally listed in critical condition, according to WFOR-TV. The victim has since been upgraded to stable condition, investigators told the television station.
During Arrendell’s court appearance on Saturday, the judge ruled that Arrendell would be held without bond, according to WPLG-TV. | https://www.wsbtv.com/news/trending/tire-shop-owner-accused-shooting-landscaper-who-blew-leaves-onto-property/JTNTIP5L75ARBN5YW6AF2T5ZU4/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:29Z |
When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.wftv.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:30Z |

The Denver Nuggets community had quite a shock when it was announced that forward Aaron Gordon suffered lacerations to his face and right hand due to a dog bite. Thankfully for Gordon and Nuggets fans, the situation is moving forward favorably.
Gordon is ready to play again on New Year's Day against the Charlotte Hornets. Additionally, it was reported that the dog in question was, in fact, his own Rottweiler, as per The Denver Post's Bennett Durando. The dog is usually under the care of Gordon's father due to the travel demands of the NBA season.
Despite the injuries, Gordon defended his dog.
“He's a good boy. He's a good dog,” the forward said.
Gordon's importance for the Nuggets
Gordon continues to be a key piece for Denver. With current season averages of 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, the high-flying veteran provides a strong inside presence for the Nuggets.
Aside from the defense and muscle Gordon brings to the table, the 28-year-old's importance for the defending champions stems from his effectiveness in playing off the ball next to stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Offensively, Gordon is usually seen as one of the main recipients of Jokic's assists. Cutting and being able to finish strong around the basket due to his athleticism, the former Arizona Wildcat thrives the most when he's taking the ball strong to the hole.
Gordon can also post up when needed. His ability to use his size and strength down the block was highlighted during Game 1 of last season's NBA finals, where the forward made a living backing down Miami Heat defenders.
The Nuggets are currently third in the Western Conference with a 23-11 record. With Aaron Gordon returning to the lineup for their upcoming game, the team is nearly at full force as they try to bounce back from a loss in their previous outing. | https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-news-aaron-gordon-breaks-silence-on-dog-biting-incident-return-date | 2024-01-01T03:26:35Z |
SEOUL, South Korea — (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to "thoroughly annihilate" the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military's preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea's official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea's expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim's limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Kim has since sought to modernize his weapons arsenal and strengthen North Korea's relationships with China and Russia. KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year's Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.
North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia's war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North's military programs.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were injured after an argument at a Walmart store in Michigan escalated into gunfire on Sunday, authorities said.
The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.
A heavy presence of officers from Wyoming Police were at a Wyoming Walmart on Sunday. https://t.co/7mZDcqVDZ4

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported.

The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”

About 5,000 people evacuated in Moscow over bomb hoaxes
MOSCOW. KAZINFORM E-mailed bomb threats prompted the evacuation of about 5,000 people from ten organizations in Moscow on Friday, a law enforcement source told TASS.
"Anonymous E-mail bomb threat messages were received by 10 addressees, including the office of the Russkoye Radio broadcaster and the Center-T shopping mall," the source said, adding that the police inspected some of the buildings, and no explosive devices were found.
Last night, anonymous bomb threat messages were sent to Moscow's Yaroslavsky and Kievsky railway stations as well as two pre-trial detention centers.
All of them have proved to be fake. | https://en.inform.kz/news/about-5-000-people-evacuated-in-moscow-over-bomb-hoaxes_a3498703/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:40Z |

The Ohio State Buckeyes are losing one of their top 2023 recruits, wide receiver Bryson Rodgers, to the college football transfer portal. Rodgers, who ranked as a four-star recruit by Ohio State football in 2023, will be testing the waters of the NCAA's version of free agency, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.
“BREAKING: Ohio State WR Bryson Rodgers plans to enter the Transfer Portal, he tells @on3sports. The 6’2 185 WR from Tampa, FL will have 4 years of eligibility remaining. Was ranked as a 4-Star Recruit in ‘23.”
Rodgers did not see any time on the field during his first — and only — year with Ohio State football. Despite the lack of playing time in his freshman season, there should be ample interest in him, considering the potential he carried into college coming out of high school in Florida.
Before initially committing to play for Ohio State football, Rodgers fielded several offers from the likes of the LSU Tigers, Texas Longhorns, Auburn Tigers, Michigan Wolverines, Miami Hurricanes, Washington Huskies, South Carolina Gamecocks, Florida State Seminoles, and the Iowa State Cyclones to name some.
Even though they are losing Rodgers to the transfer portal, the Buckeyes shouldn't worry much about the depth of their receiving corps. They have great talents coming in for the 2024 campaign, including four-star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and Mylan Graham. Ohio State also has a total of 21 commits for 2024 to date, composed of five five-stars, 12 four-stars, and three three-stars.
Ohio State finished the 2023 season ranked 39th in the nation with 261.6 passing yards per game and 35th with 30.2 points per contest. | https://clutchpoints.com/ohio-state-football-news-losing-former-4-star-wr-recruit-to-transfer-portal | 2024-01-01T03:26:42Z |
FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”

— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”

The No. 8 Oregon Ducks will bring in the New Year set to face the No. 23 Liberty Flames in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
The Ducks (11-2) had always hoped to be playing on New Year's Day, but in one of the College Football Playoff semifinal games, not the Fiesta Bowl. Two losses to Washington, one in the regular season and the other in the Pac-12 title game, crushed that hope. Nonetheless, this will be the Ducks' third trip to a New Year's Six bowl in the last five years. It will also be Oregon football's fourth trip to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl where they are 2-1.
For the Flames (13-0), this will be their first-ever appearance in a NY6 bowl and their fifth bowl game appearance overall since becoming a member of the FBS. They're 3-1 overall. This season, Liberty football moved from independent to Conference USA under first-year head coach Jamey Chadwell, winning the conference title. They, therefore, were the lucky Group-of-Five team this season to earn a right to a NY6 bowl game. They're also just one of four teams in the FBS that are undefeated, although they didn't play a single Power-5 team all year.
As a Group-of-Five team, Liberty is coming in as over a two-plus touchdown underdog to an all-around massively talented Oregon team that will look to be ending their season on a high note. But could the Ducks overlook the Flames and let them make the biggest upset of the entire bowl season? Let's get into some Vrbo Fiesta Bowl bold predictions.
🏈🌵 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐄: It will be @LibertyFootball vs. @oregonfootball in the @Vrbo #FiestaBowl on New Year's Day (11 am MST)!
Get your tickets now and kick off 2024 with us at @StateFarmStdm.

Oregon's defense holds Liberty to under 30 points
Liberty football is coming into the Fiesta Bowl averaging 40.8 points per game as an offense, ranking 5th best in the country. But they'll be facing the 11th ranked scoring defense in the country when they face the Ducks, who are allowing only 17.3 points per game.
In Dan Lanning's two seasons as Oregon football's head coach, the Ducks have allowed 30 or more points six times, with one of those being the opener against the eventual national champions in Georgia last season, with three others against rival Washington; five resulted in losses.
We've seen these Group-of-Five teams come in before and surprise people, but scoring over 30 against this Oregon football team doesn't seem realistic.
Liberty's scoring won't come in the red zone
One reason that the Flames may be held to less scoring is the fact that they aren't the best team inside the red zone. They rank 75th in the nation in red zone scoring percentage (82.81%). If the Flames have hope to score, they better stick to the 20 and beyond. They'll be attempting to do that with their talented backfield in running back Quinton Cooley and quarterback Kaidon Salter, who accounted for over 2,000 rushing yards combined this season.
Bo Nix is out of the game by the middle of the third quarter, if not sooner
Bo Nix is one of the few quarterbacks that are headed to the NFL Draft that decided not to opt-out of their respective bowl games. But should the Ducks handle the Flames like most believe they will, it's doubtful that Nix plays the entire game. If Oregon is up by three scores or more midway through the third quarter, Nix's time as a Duck will have come to an end.
Oregon football beats Liberty by at least 20 points
Maybe this isn't giving Liberty football enough credit or giving Oregon too much credit. Either way, this seems like a pretty massive mismatch. Although the Flames are undefeated, they faced just five bowl-eligible teams, with three of those having double-digit wins, including bowl games. But not a single one of those were in the Power-5.
However, the one thing going for Liberty is the fact that in the College Football Playoff era, Group-of-Five teams are 4-5 in NY6 bowls. Tulane was the latest, beating USC in last year's Cotton Bowl. This year's Oregon team didn't let too much get past them, losing to only one team twice. They should be able to handle Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl. | https://clutchpoints.com/oregon-liberty-predictions-fiesta-bowl | 2024-01-01T03:26:48Z |
The Indiana Pacers are preparing for their New Year's Day showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks. The last time these two teams met, things got a little bit out of control. The budding rivalry between these two teams stems from the Pacers elimination of the Bucks during the NBA's in-season tournament. For this latest installment of the rivalry, it appears as though the Pacers will be without the services of Bruce Brown due to injury as per Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files.
The Pacers have arrived in Milwaukee for tomorrow’s game at the Bucks, the first of a home & home.
Bruce Brown, who has missed the last four games, is doubtful. Jae Crowder is out for the Bucks.
— Scott Agness (@ScottAgness) December 31, 2023
Bruce Brown is officially listed as doubtful on the Pacers injury report for the Bucks game. Brown was the Pacers prized free agent signing in the offseason after he played a crucial role for the Denver Nuggets during their 2023 championship run. He has been sidelined the past four games, however due to a knee injury.
Brown was first sidelined for the Pacers game against the Magic on Dec. 23 and has been out since. He had played in every game to that point.
Brown signed one of the most lucrative contracts of the offseason and he's only continued his strong play from last season. He had been averaging 11.6 points per game, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals with splits of 45.7 percent shooting from the field, 29.7 percent shooting from the three point line and 81.3 percent shooting from the free throw line.
The Pacers are currently 17-14 but have won five games in a row. They are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings but only half a game back of the sixth seeded Cleveland Cavaliers and avoiding the play-in. | https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-bruce-brown-gets-crucial-injury-update-ahead-of-bucks-clash | 2024-01-01T03:26:48Z |

The Indiana Pacers' offense has been on an absolute tear this season. They're scoring at an incredible rate and Tyrese Haliburton looks like a true superstar in the NBA. When discussing Indiana's high-powered offense, Rick Carlisle dropped an all-time quote every basketball fan will love.
As any coach will do, they focus on where the team can improve. That's exactly what Carlisle did when asked about the Pacers' offense. Their defense has been lackluster. So, the veteran head coach compared the offensive play to dating a pretty girl.
“Being historically great on offense is fun but even dating a pretty girl gets boring after awhile if she can’t guard anybody.”
“Being historically great on offense is fun but even dating a pretty girl gets boring after awhile if she can’t guard anybody.”
Rick Carlisle with one of the greatest quotes of all-time. pic.twitter.com/J2jVpWl5IR
— iPacers.com (@iPacersblog) December 30, 2023
What a quote! And Rick Carlisle is absolutely right. A great offense is always fun to watch. However, if you can't play defense it can be all for naught. Looking at the Eastern Conference standings, that may certainly be the case for the Pacers. They're currently ranked seventh with a 17-14 record.
To Carlisle's point, if Indiana can improve its defense while the offense remains relatively the same, then this Pacers team becomes one of the most dangerous in the league. When everything is rolling on all cylinders, this is a tough team to play against. I mean, they nearly won the NBA In-Season Tournament when virtually nobody thought they had a chance.
With that said, maybe the Pacers will make some changes in the coming weeks. Perhaps a trade for a defensive-minded player is being considered. You never know with the trade deadline not too far away. | https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-rick-carlisle-drops-all-time-great-quote | 2024-01-01T03:26:54Z |

Acting CEO of KazAgro Holding named
ASTANA. KAZINFORM The powers of chairman of the board of directors of KazAgro Holding JSC Rustem Kurmanov were prematurely terminated due to a transfer to another appointment by the decree of the only shareholder.
Yelnar Zholdassov was appointed as an acting chairman of the board of directors, the holding's press service reports.
Zholdassov, born in 1979, is a graduate of the Al Farabi Kazakh National University, and the Buketov Karaganda State University.
Prior to appointment he has been acting as a managing director of finance, member of the board of KazAgro Holding. | https://en.inform.kz/news/acting-ceo-of-kazagro-holding-named_a3500512/ | 2024-01-01T03:26:54Z |
SEOUL, South Korea — (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to "thoroughly annihilate" the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military's preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea's official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea's expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim's limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Kim has since sought to modernize his weapons arsenal and strengthen North Korea's relationships with China and Russia. KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year's Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.
North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia's war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North's military programs.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

How about Tyrese Haliburton? The Indiana Pacers star point guard continues to cement his status as one of the best players in the NBA today with yet another exceptional performance on Saturday against the New York Knicks at home. What he did to lead Indiana to a 140-126 victory over a conference rival was beyond great; it was historic.
With his absolutely terrific playmaking against the Knicks, Haliburton just became the third player in the history of the league to pull off a 20-20 feat on top of other single-game achievements, as noted by the NBA's official X account. He joined John Stockton and Magic Johnson as the only players with back-to-back 20-point, 20-assist games.
HISTORIC NIGHT FOR TYRESE HALIBURTON 😱
📊 22 PTS, 23 AST (career-high)
👀 Most 20 AST games in Pacers history
3⃣ Third player ever with back-to-back 20-PT, 20-AST games, joining John Stockton and Magic Johnson pic.twitter.com/GxnbZdBKGx— NBA (@NBA) December 31, 2023
The Knicks had no answer for Haliburton just as the Chicago Bulls had no solution for the guard last Thursday when the Pacers won in Windy City, 120-104. In that Bulls game, Haliburton scored 21 points and dished out a total of 20 assists in 37 minutes. After resting on Friday, Haliburton went back to work and torched the Knicks for 22 points and 23 assists in 36 minutes of action.
Haliburton is feeling it, and his being in the zone is nothing but great news for the Pacers, who are now starting to gain some steam after a poor stretch following their In-Season Tournament title game appearance. The Pacers extended their undefeated streak to three wins after humbling the Knicks and will look to take it further on Monday when they visit Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Behind Haliburton's MVP-esque season, the Pacers have become one of the most potent offenses in the NBA. They entered the Knicks matchup ranked third in the league in adjusted offensive rating (120.0) and No. 1 in scoring offense (125.6 points per game). | https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-tyrese-haliburton-repeats-feat-magic-johnson-john-stockton-realm | 2024-01-01T03:27:01Z |

AIFC Court launches eJustice system
eJustice is an online portal that enables parties to file cases at the AIFC Court and IAC electronically from anywhere around the world without having to be physically present in Astana. It can assist with the management of full end-to-end electronic processing of legal documents and administration in cases.
It aims to provide immediate convenience and accessibility at the AIFC Court and IAC to the legal and business communities while also supporting the judges, arbitrators, procedures, and practices to ensure that commercial disputes are resolved quickly and cost-effectively in accordance with the highest international standards.
At the launch, the eJustice system was showcased to more than one hundred Kazakh lawyers, diplomats, and senior representatives of government authorities and national companies. A separate launch will also be held in Almaty on 27th February 2019.
The eJustice project was completed with regular engagement and constructive feedback from lawyers in Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and international legal and business communities.
Advanced face-to-face training was provided to over 35 Kazakh lawyers in Astana and Almaty from 18 until 22 February 2019 to prepare future users of the AIFC Court and IAC to maximally use the system for the benefit of their clients. Further training will be provided on an ongoing basis.
Mr. Christopher Campbell-Holt, Registrar and Chief Executive at the AIFC Court and IAC, commented:
"We are delighted to launch our eJustice system which will significantly enhance the timely and cost-effective resolution of disputes at the AIFC Court and IAC. We aim to provide the very best international standards of dispute resolution, and eJustice is our latest innovation that will enable the AIFC Court and IAC to become the number one choice for civil and commercial dispute resolution in the Eurasia region."
According to Mr. Saw Ken Wye, CEO at Crimson Logic, an IT company from Singapore, the eJustice system was developed using Chrysalis, a world-class product and proven application with out-of-the-box functions and features embraced by leading jurisdictions globally.
"The system was developed in record time. This record-time implementation is proof of the collaborative spirit between the AIFC and Crimson Logic. We are delighted to be a part of the AIFC Court's and IAC's drive to modernize and we are sure that this new system will be easy to use," added Mr. Saw Ken Wye. | https://en.inform.kz/news/aifc-court-launches-ejustice-system_a3502062/ | 2024-01-01T03:27:01Z |

A £94 increase to the average household energy bill has come into effect after Ofgem increased its price cap in response to rising wholesale prices.
The regulator’s price cap has risen by 5% from the previous £1,834 for a typical dual fuel household to £1,928, driven almost entirely by rising costs in the international wholesale energy market due to market instability and global events, particularly the conflict in Ukraine.
Households that have not yet done so are urged to submit meter readings to their supplier as quickly as possible to ensure they are charged correctly.
Ofgem chief executive Jonathan Brearley has acknowledged that many people are currently having a “difficult time” and that “any increase in bills will be worrying”.
But he said the rise was a result of the wholesale cost of gas and electricity rising, “which needs to be reflected in the price that we all pay”.
Ofgem has made it clear to suppliers that it expects them to identify and offer help to those who are struggling with bills.
The increase comes after the regulator unveiled plans to lift the price cap from April in order to help suppliers recover nearly £3 billion in debts from customers who cannot pay.
The watchdog is proposing a one-off price cap adjustment of £16, equivalent to around £1.33 a month, to be paid between April 2024 and March 2025, and wants energy companies to use the extra funding to support struggling customers and write off bad debts.
The energy price cap sets a limit on the maximum amount suppliers can charge households in England, Wales and Scotland for each unit of gas and electricity.
Energy in Northern Ireland is regulated separately.
The headline price cap figure is an average across households rather than an absolute cap on bills, so those that use more will pay more.
The rise puts hopes for relief from the cost-of-living crisis on hold, and follows Chancellor Jeremy Hunt making no mention of any further help from the Government to offset household energy bills.
It comes as Citizens Advice said it was helping record numbers of households with energy debt and seeing more people than ever who could not afford to top up their prepayment meter.
Simon Francis, co-ordinator of the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, said: “Struggling households are facing an assault from all sides. Energy bills are going up just as winter bites hard, Christmas debts have to be paid off and the ongoing wider cost-of-living crisis continues into another year.
“Ofgem needs to abolish this January price hike. The cruel impact of a change in bills at this time of year can’t be underestimated.
“Unaffordable energy prices are here to stay and even in winter 2024/25, energy bills are expected to be 60% higher than winter 2020/21. This means the UK Government needs to take much more action to help people stay warm this winter and every winter through increased support for home insulation and cheaper renewable energy.”
Warm This Winter spokeswoman Fiona Waters said: “Without additional support, it will be anything but a happy new year for people trapped in Britain’s broken energy system.
“We need to see the UK Government introduce an emergency energy tariff for vulnerable households and a help to repay scheme for those in energy debt.
“Failure to avert this cold homes crisis will lead to pressure on the NHS, a mental health catastrophe and additional winter deaths caused by living in cold, damp homes.”
However, in a glimmer of hope for households, latest forecasts suggest the energy bills for the typical household will fall to £1,660 from the start of April, reflecting international gas prices dropping in recent weeks, and then to £1,590 from July before rising slightly to £1,640 from October next year.
Dr Craig Lowrey, principal consultant at Cornwall Insight, said: “Current forecasts of price cap dips later in the year may offer a small light at the end of the tunnel.
“The recent stabilisation of international energy markets has trickled down to April’s price cap predictions, raising hopes that this downward path will continue throughout the remainder of 2024.
“However, history has shown that the wholesale energy market is highly volatile, and unexpected global events can lead to spikes in energy prices, ultimately feeding through to household bills – as we saw this time last year.
“Whether concerns in the Red Sea become heightened, or another potential disruption to supply occurs, there are no guarantees the price cap will not rise again.”
Dr Lowrey added: “Ultimately, waiting and hoping that we will avoid another global incident that sends energy prices climbing is not a sustainable strategy for Government.
“To achieve substantial reductions below pre-crisis levels, we must focus on long-term strategies which increase domestic renewable energy sources and reduce our reliance on volatile imports.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/business-environment/business/4854585/energy-bill-price-hike-takes-effect-as-record-numbers-struggle-with-debt/ | 2024-01-01T03:27:03Z |
KYIV, Ukraine: Kyiv said Sunday it had destroyed 21 of 49 Iranian-made drones fired after Russia vowed to retaliate for what it called a “terrorist attack” on a border city that left 24 dead.
The Ukrainian air force said the “Shahed” drones were particularly targeted at “the front line of defense, as well as at civilian, military and infrastructure facilities in the front-line territories.”
Six guided missiles had also targeted the northeastern city of Kharkiv, Kyiv said in a statement on Telegram, without specifying whether they had hit their targets.
Oleg Sinegubov, the head of Kharkiv’s military administration, said there had been 28 civilians wounded in the attack on the city, including two teenagers and a foreign citizen.
Residential buildings, offices and cafes were hit in the latest overnight attacks, said Kharkiv mayor Igor Terekhov.
“On the eve of the New Year, Russians want to intimidate our city, but we are not scared,” he said.
The fresh Russian strikes came a day after the deadliest attack on civilians in Russia since the start of the conflict in February 2022.
The official death toll has risen to 24 with 108 wounded in Belgorod — just 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the Ukrainian border, which has been repeatedly struck by what Moscow says is indiscriminate shelling.
The two sides took turns to accuse each other of pummelling civilian areas of their shared frontier region over the weekend.
The governor of Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said Sunday that one person had been killed by Ukrainian shelling in a village close to the border.
Moscow said the Belgorod attack had included the use of controversial cluster munitions, and told an emergency meeting at the UN Security Council that Kyiv had targeted a sports center, an ice rink and a university.
Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya called it a “deliberate, indiscriminate attack against a civilian target.”
Ukraine’s allies countered that responsibility ultimately lay with Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading the neighboring country nearly two years ago.
“If Russia wants someone to blame for the deaths of Russians in this war, it should start with President Putin,” said British envoy to the UN Thomas Phipps.
Putin gave his traditional New Year’s Eve address on Sunday, in which he praised Russia’s soldiers on the front line and called for unity in the face of “difficult tasks.”
“To all those who are on duty, on the front line of the fight for truth and justice,” Putin said, “you are our heroes. Our hearts are with you. We are proud of you, we admire your courage.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed in his New Year’s address to wreak “wrath” against Russian forces in 2024, despite what he said were attempts to “undermine” support for Kyiv.
The Belgorod attack came a day after Ukraine said a barrage of Russian missile strikes on several cities, including the capital, had killed 39 people.
Schools, a maternity hospital, shopping arcades and blocks of flats were among the buildings hit in Friday’s barrage, one of the most violent attacks since the start of the war.
Ukraine was still sifting through the rubble on Saturday when fresh strikes hit the regions of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Chernigiv, according to local authorities.
Three more people were killed by Russian strikes across Ukraine on Saturday, the officials said.
January 1 was to be declared a day of mourning in the capital Kyiv, where 19 people had been killed, city officials said.
Russia’s army said it had “carried out 50 group strikes and one massive strike” on military facilities in Ukraine over the past week, adding that “all targets were hit.”
The United Nations condemned the attacks and said they must stop “immediately.”
Ukraine is urging Western allies to maintain military support.
“Next year will be a time of many decisions — global decisions. And Ukraine needs to be able to influence them to be able to achieve its goals,” Zelensky said in his evening address Saturday.
“We will fight for our influence, for justice for Ukraine, and I am grateful to all the leaders who help, who have been with us since February 24th and will be with us in 2024.”
Britain announced it would send hundreds more air-defense missiles to Kyiv, after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declared: “We must continue to stand with Ukraine — for as long as it takes.” | https://www.arabnews.com/node/2434571/world | 2024-01-01T03:27:03Z |
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones tip-toed around talk of their acrimonious split almost 30 years ago, when they had just teamed as coach and owner to win consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.
Whether that breakup was the reason it took Jones so long to put Johnson in the team’s ring of honor doesn’t matter much at this point to both Pro Football Hall of Famers.
The bottom line is Johnson is joining Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside the 19 players and two executives in the exclusive group of one of the NFL’s storied franchises.
Johnson was greeted by the Hall of Fame “Triplets” who headlined his Super Bowl teams — quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin — for the ceremony at halftime of Saturday night’s regular-season home finale against the Detroit Lions.
“Thank you, Jerry Jones, for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys,” Johnson told the crowd.
Johnson capped his acceptance speech with a dramatic pause as he walked up to Irvin, turned and offered his famous catchphrase, “How ’bout them Cowboys!” He said it the first time in the locker room after Dallas won at San Francisco in the NFC championship game before the first Super Bowl victory.
“You can say whatever you want to about my human reaction or frailties,” Jones said before the game. “I say this today, he’s there because it’s the right thing. He was always going in the ring of honor, whether I put him in or my kids put him in.”
One of the theories behind the abrupt end of Johnson’s tenure in 1994 was a tussle over who should get credit for the dramatic turnaround in Dallas.
The Cowboys went from 1-15 in 1989 — the year Jones bought the Cowboys and hired Johnson after firing the only coach Dallas ever had in Landry — to the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles in franchise history to cap the 1992 and ’93 seasons.
“I think we’re past who gets credit,” Johnson said. “The two of us, working together, made history. When I say working together, we talked every single day. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”
Others would suggest Johnson’s take is revisionist history, because he was incensed 30 years ago over suggestions from Jones, also the team’s general manager, that any one of 500 coaches could have won a title with the Dallas roster.
Barry Switzer did it two years after the split of Jones and Johnson, who were teammates at Arkansas in the early 1960s. But critics never stopped suggesting the 1995 title was with Johnson’s players, and the Cowboys haven’t even reached an NFC championship game since that season.
Aikman was working the game as an analyst for ESPN and hustled down from the broadcast booth to join the ceremony. He stood with Irvin and Smith during the presentation, which started with Johnson walking through a greeting line of dozens of players from his Super Bowl run.
“It means everything to me and my teammates and everybody that was a part of those teams,” Aikman said on ESPN during the first half. “And the circle has been closed tonight at halftime.”
After two years away from football, Johnson returned with the Miami Dolphins in 1996 and led them to the playoffs the last three of his four seasons. But Miami never got past the divisional round.
The 80-year-old Johnson, a Texas native, has been a Fox studio analyst the past two decades and was enshrined in Canton, Ohio, in 2020, three years after Jones.
Now Johnson’s name will be inside AT&T Stadium along with Landry, who led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles in the 1970s and is fifth on the career list with 250 regular-season victories.
“I don’t think anybody can ever imagine what this means to me,” said Johnson, who won the 1987 college national championship at Miami. “This was a special time in my life. This was something that paid dividends for me the rest of my life. We took over the worst football team in the NFL. Not only did we win Super Bowls, but we were able to put together the team of the ’90s.”
Because of that, the split left many, including Johnson’s players, wondering what might have been had he stayed. Not only is Johnson past the question of credit, he doesn’t think much about “what ifs” either.
“Sometimes I’m kind of like a gypsy,” Johnson said. “I’ve never been anywhere more than five years. Got the point after winning a couple of Super Bowls, almost to the point of, ‘I’ve accomplished what I want to accomplish.’ Sometimes you lose sight of what you can do because of what you’ve already done.”
Johnson suggested he and Jones weren’t communicating as well at the end of their time together in Dallas as they had at the beginning, when they both faced a firestorm of criticism.
Jones suggested he let the sudden success of the Cowboys go to his head.
“What Jimmy brings is a lot of the best of me, enthusiasm, what have you,” Jones recalled telling his parents just before the split became public in 1994. “When it’s going the other way, I don’t like myself. It’s taking away from it. That mentality probably caused me to be not as tolerant as maybe we could have gone.”
A sense of closure for many of those issues was coming a few hours later.

Last season, Wally Szczerbiak called Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton a “wannabe All-Star.” But now, after Haliburton's electric play, Szczerbiak admits that he was wrong.
Szczerbiak, a former All-Star for the Minnesota Timberwolves who now works for the New York Knicks as an MSG Network analyst, said on Saturday's Knicks vs. Pacers broadcast that he was wrong.
“Wasn’t my finest hour … I was dead wrong,” Szczerbiak said.
On Saturday, Haliburton became the third player in NBA history to have 20 or more points and 20-plus assists in back-to-back games. The other two to accomplish that feat were Magic Johnson in 1984 and John Stockton in 1990.
The Knicks had no answer for Haliburton just like Chicago Bulls had no solution for the guard last Thursday when the Pacers won in Chicago, 120-104. In that game, Haliburton scored 21 points and dished out 20 assists in 37 minutes of action. Haliburton went back to work and torched the Knicks for 22 points and 23 assists in 36 minutes on Saturday night and even stared Szczerbiak down at one point:
Oh hey Wally! 👀 #Pacers
You show him Tyrese! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/oPPq39KAlz— 🎙Laura Steele🎙 (@RealLauraSteele) December 31, 2023
To his credit, this isn't the first time that Szczerbiak has owned up to his mistake. Last season, shortly after making the comments, the commentator apologized during a Knicks pregame show.
“I want to apologize personally to Tyrese Haliburton,” Szczerbiak said last year. “He's a wonderful young player, he's definitely in the All-Star conversation along with guys like Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson.”
Behind Haliburton's MVP-caliber season, the Pacers have become one of the most potent offenses in the NBA. They entered the Knicks matchup ranked third in the league in adjusted offensive rating (120.0) and No. 1 in scoring offense (125.6 points per game). | https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-tyrese-haliburton-wally-szczerbiak-cornered-admission-dead-wrong | 2024-01-01T03:27:07Z |

The Carolina Panthers are taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17, and it didn't take long for the injury bug to rear its ugly head. Early on in the game, Bryce Young absorbed a massive hit that forced him to the blue medical tent, and before the game even began, Carolina lost their kicker in Eddy Pineiro.
Young has taken a beating as a rookie behind Carolina's porous offensive line, and he ended up taking a big hit on a fourth and seven when the Jaguars sent pressure at him. Young was slow to get off the field, but he was eventually able to walk off under his own power, where he ended up in the blue medical tent to see what sort of injury he was dealing with.
He's in the medical tent now. https://t.co/2Wf05YGc2x
— David Newton (@DNewtonespn) December 31, 2023
Bryce Young quickly returned to action for the Panthers
Young was able to return to action without missing a snap for the Panthers, which is a great sign, but he's going to need better protection from his offensive line if they want to keep him in one piece. The only reason Carolina was going for it on fourth and seven, though, was because Pineiro injured himself in warmups, meaning that they don't have a kicker for the rest of the game as well.
Panthers were going for it on fourth-and-7 because kicker Eddy Pineiro was injured during pre-game warmups. Young was hurt on the sack. https://t.co/7o1LXLPwGz
— David Newton (@DNewtonespn) December 31, 2023
Not much has gone right for the Panthers this season, so why would that change in Week 17? It's great that Young is back, but being without a kicker could ultimately result in Carolina losing this game. It will be worth keeping an eye on Young throughout the remainder of this game, as another big hit could end up sending him to the sidelines for the rest of the day. | https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-bryce-young-suffers-injury-scare-jaguars-kicker-goes-down | 2024-01-01T03:27:08Z |

Hardy swimmers will once again welcome in the new year by braving the waters of the Firth of Forth as part of the annual Loony Dook.
Hundreds of people will gather to take part in the annual New Year’s Day tradition in South Queensferry.
The dook, a Scots word meaning to dip or bathe, started in 1986 after friends Andy Kerr and Jim Kilcullen went for a swim in the icy waters to stave off their hangover from the night before.
But the following year, they decided to repeat the event for charity.
Money raised goes to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and other local charities.
The event was known locally, but in the 1990s it grew in popularity after it was mentioned in the official Edinburgh Hogmanay programme of events.
Due to the popularity of the event, where dookers don fancy dress and parade down South Queensferry High Street before making their way to the shore, it was organised professionally from 2009.
In 2011, a registration fee was introduced which rose to £20 in 2020, branded a “disgrace” by original founders.
But this year, there is no professional organisation and locals are taking matters back into their own hands.
From 2pm on New Year’s Day, dookers will gather at the Boathouse Stair on the High Street and are encouraged to come in fancy dress.
They will then make their way down to the shore before braving the freezing waters and then making their way back to a local pub to continue the festivities. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/scotland/4854582/hundreds-of-swimmers-to-brave-freezing-forth-for-annual-loony-dook/ | 2024-01-01T03:27:10Z |
UN chief closes tribunal founded to investigate 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister
Over the years, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon held in absentia proceedings and found three members of the militant Hezbollah group guilty in connection with Hariri’s death
Updated 19 sec ago
AP
BEIRUT: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has closed an international tribunal that was created to investigate the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, the UN chief’s spokesperson said Sunday.
Over the years, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon held in absentia proceedings and found three members of the militant Hezbollah group guilty in connection with Hariri’s death in a massive Feb. 14, 2005 truck bombing.
The tribunal based in The Hague, Netherlands, sentenced the three — Salim Jamil Ayyash, Hassan Habib Merhi and Hussein Hassan Oneissi — to five concurrent sentences of life imprisonment.
Hezbollah officials have repeatedly denied that members of the group were involved in the suicide attack and refused to deal with the tribunal. The bombing killed Hariri and 21 others, and wounded 226.
The trial judges had said there was no evidence Hezbollah’s leadership or Syria were involved in the attack but noted the assassination happened as Hariri and his political allies were discussing whether to call for Syria to withdraw its forces from Lebanon.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement Sunday that the Special Tribunal was established to try those responsible for the attack following the adoption of a 2007 Security Council resolution. The tribunal’s jurisdiction also extended to other attacks that were judicially determined to be “connected” to Hariri’s assassination.
At the beginning of 2023, Guterres extended the panel’s mandate until Dec. 31 “for the limited purpose of completion of the non-judicial residual functions” and “for the orderly closure of the Special Tribunal.” The secretary-general noted Sunday that those tasks had been accomplished and the tribunal shut down, Guterres said.
“The secretary-general expresses his deep appreciation for the dedication and hard work of the judges and staff at the Special Tribunal throughout the years,” Dujarric said. He added that Guterres also appreciated the support provided by the Lebanese government, the government of the Netherlands as the host state, and member states that participated in the tribunal’s management committee.
In rare apology, Israeli minister says she ‘sinned’ for her role in reforms that tore country apart
The crisis sparked mass protests, alarmed business leaders and former security chiefs, and drew concern from the United States and other close allies
Updated 7 sec ago
AP
JERUSALEM: A former member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet offered a rare public apology Sunday for contributing to the internal strife in Israel that preceded the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip.
The mea culpa by Galit Distel Atbaryan, a lawmaker from Netanyahu’s Likud Party, was one of the first times a Likud member has accepted responsibility for the polarized atmosphere ahead of the attack, which triggered a devastating war that has continued for nearly three months.
Distel Atbaryan appeared to accept the argument that the internal divisions created perceptions of weakness that encouraged Hamas to attack.
“I’m here sitting and telling you, the democratic, secular public: I sinned against you, I caused pain for you, I caused you to fear for your lives here, and I am sorry for this,” she told Channel 13 TV.
Distel Atbaryan added that she was taking responsibility for her role in the massive protests and civil discord that erupted after Netanyahu’s right-wing government attempted to implement a far-reaching overhaul of the judicial system. The crisis sparked mass protests, alarmed business leaders and former security chiefs, and drew concern from the United States and other close allies.
“I was one of those people that caused the state to be weakened, that harmed people,” she said. “I created a split, I created a rift, and I created tension. And this tension brought weakness. And this weakness, in many ways, brought massacre.”
Distel Atbaryan, who served as public diplomacy minister, was one of Netanyahu’s strongest supporters and drew attention for her harsh criticism of his opponents.
But days after the Oct. 7 attack, she resigned when it was clear that other government ministries were handling her responsibilities.
Distel Atbaryan said the office was a “waste of public funds” during wartime. She has remained as a member of parliament in the Likud.
Look Ahead at 2024: Arab world enters the new year with a mix of hope, tension and trepidation
From Lebanon and Gaza to Syria and Sudan, crises and conflicts are likely to linger well into 2024
Successes in trade, tourism and diplomacy offer glimmer of hope amid an otherwise gloomy start to the year
Updated 22 min 29 sec ago
Paul Iddon
IRBIL, Iraqi Kurdistan: As 2023 moves into the rearview mirror, the Middle East and North Africa can look ahead to the new year with a mixture of hope and trepidation.
For many in the region, it has been a tumultuous 12 months, featuring some of the worst violence and natural disasters in years.
While several conflicts are likely to continue into 2024, not least in Gaza and Sudan, there are some positive signs for the new year.
Unified GCC visa
Over in the Arabian Gulf, travelers may soon be able to apply for a unified Gulf Cooperation Council visa.
Unveiled in October by Abdulla bin Touq, the UAE minister of economy, the single visa will permit travelers to visit all six members of the Gulf alliance — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The new travel permit is billed as the Gulf’s equivalent of the European Schengen visa, with the potential for transforming the region’s travel, tourism and hospitality industries.
New BRICS members
The five-member intergovernmental organization BRICS, often touted as a rival to the G7 bloc, could expand.
At the bloc’s summit in South Africa last August, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, and Argentina were invited to join Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa as part of the trading body of emerging economies.
At the time, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the Saudi foreign minister, said that the Kingdom was studying the proposal and could become a leading member of the bloc, given its vast resources and strategically important location.
The group has set its sights on a new, multipolar world, in which financial and political institutions are no longer dominated by a few Western powers. However, Riyadh is yet to give a definitive answer, while Argentina’s incoming government has ruled out joining.
Time will tell whether BRICS will expand as planned.
Israel-Hamas war
Israel has been engaged in an unprecedented war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, triggered by the killing by Palestinian militants of at least 1,200 people and abduction of another 240 on Oct. 7.
Israel’s retaliatory operations have pulverized swathes of Gaza, killing more than 20,000 people and injuring another 50,000 — 70 percent of them women and children, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry — causing a dire humanitarian crisis.
Despite efforts to secure another temporary ceasefire, the conflict is likely to continue into 2024.
Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defense minister, has repeatedly warned that the operation will take “months” to conclude and that Israel will “not stop until we reach our goals.”
Meanwhile, Hamas has said it is unwilling to negotiate the release of additional hostages until Israel ceases operations in Gaza.
While these obstacles remain, the war will likely continue into the new year.
Leadership changes
The Oct. 7 attack led by Hamas militants was a massive political setback for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, who has long depicted himself as the guardian of the nation’s security.
Although it is unlikely he will be replaced while the war in Gaza continues, there is a chance he will be voted out of office once it ends. One recent poll found just 27 percent of Israelis believe Netanyahu is fit to serve as prime minister.
Briefly voted out of office in 2021, Netanyahu returned to power in late 2022, leading the most right-wing Israeli government in history.
He then went on to push through an unpopular judicial overhaul that led to massive protests in 2023 and threats of desertion by military personnel. It is likely that 2024 will be his last year in office.
It may also be the year that Iran’s 84-year-old supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, relinquishes power in the Islamic Republic.
Amid rising regional tensions, the country may end up under the control of his 54-year-old son, Mojtaba, to ensure the continuation and survival of the clerical regime that has ruled Iran since the 1979 revolution.
Grand Egyptian Museum opening
In the first quarter of 2024, Egypt hopes to finally open the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum, situated near the Giza pyramid complex on the outskirts of Cairo.
After 20 years of planning and $1 billion in spending, the largest archaeological museum on the planet will feature more than 100,000 artifacts from Egypt’s ancient civilization, many of which have never been displayed in public before.
Sudan deterioration
Sudan has been plagued by violence since fighting broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on April 15.
A total of 6.3 million people have been displaced since April alone, adding to the 3.7 million Sudanese who had already fled their homes during previous conflicts, along with 1.1 million foreigners who had earlier sought refuge in Sudan.
More than 1.4 million Sudanese have sought shelter in neighboring countries since the onset of the conflict. With no end in sight, the conflict in Sudan will undoubtedly continue into 2024, and possibly beyond.
Sudan has topped the International Rescue Committee’s 2024 Emergency Watchlist of “countries most likely to experience a deteriorating humanitarian crisis” due to the “escalating conflict, mass displacement, an economic crisis and a near collapse of health care services.”
Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi
The first Hindu temple in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, is set to open in February. The temple will be inaugurated by Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister, after seven deities are consecrated and blessed in special morning prayers.
Modi had launched the project in 2018 when he revealed the first model showing a monument with seven spires to reflect the seven emirates. Sculpting work began in 2020 and the temple’s distinct shape and carved pink stonework nowsoar from the desert landscape.
The hand-carved structure is being constructed on more than 5.4 hectares of land given to the Indian community in 2015 by President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed when he was the crown prince of Abu Dhabi.
Yemen settlement
There are hopes that the truce between the Houthi militia and the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen could become a permanent ceasefire agreement in 2024.
A two-month UN-negotiated truce came into effect in April 2022 and formally ended the following October. However, hostilities did not recommence.
Saudi Arabia praised the “positive results” of negotiations with the Houthis in September after a visit by a delegation from the group.
However, since the eruption of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, the Houthi militia has intensified its attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
While this has caused additional tensions, it is widely expected to delay rather than scuttle a ceasefire agreement that could lead to a lasting settlement to the Yemen conflict.
Iran nuclear enrichment
Another issue that is likely to continue into 2024 is the advancement of Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran continued to stockpile uranium enriched to 60 percent throughout 2023, giving Tehran the capacity to quickly enrich this material to weapons-grade levels of about 90 percent.
In December, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran’s foreign minister, dubbed any attempt to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which put restrictions on the Iranian nuclear program in return for sanctions relief from the West, a “useless” endeavor.
Iran has “increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement in December summarizing a recent confidential report to member states.
Water and food security
The Middle East and North Africa will continue to grapple with water and food security issues in 2024, with Iraq being particularly vulnerable.
Climate change and regional tensions have reduced river and groundwater levels, especially in the country’s more arid south. The UN considers Iraq the world’s fifth most climate vulnerable country.
The most populous Arab country has faced increasing food security issues over the past 12 months, which will likely drag on into 2024.
Egypt has relied heavily on imported wheat, becoming the biggest importer in the world in recent years in order to feed its population, particularly its poor, who are dependent on subsidies.
Two developments in 2023 in particular have compounded Egyptian food security concerns: Russia’s withdrawal from the UN- and Turkiye-brokered Black Sea Grain Initiative and India’s decision to impose restrictions on the export of non-basmati varieties of rice and other food staples.
GERD dam divide
Egypt and Ethiopia are likely to remain locked in a simmering dispute over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Years of stop-start talks over the shared management of the Nile river have proved unsuccessful, making open conflict a real possibility.
Egypt has long opposed Ethiopia’s dam project because of concerns over its water supply. Sudan, another downstream country, has likewise expressed worries about the regulation of its own water supplies and dams.
Ethiopia, which argues that it is exercising its right to economic development, said in September it had completed its final phase of filling a reservoir for a massive hydroelectric power plant at the dam on the Blue Nile.
In December, Egypt said that the latest talks had also failed, but it would continue to monitor the process of filling and operating the dam.
Captagon trade persistence
The many challenges posed by the illicit trade in the stimulant commonly known as Captagon are expected to continue into 2024.
Syria is estimated to produce about 80 percent of the world’s supply of the narcotic, exporting it across the Middle East, with a particular focus on the Gulf market.
According to Western governments, Captagon exports net sanctions-squeezed Damascus billions of dollars in much-needed revenues each year.
Regional governments have intercepted several massive shipments of the drug, often making busts of hundreds of thousands or even millions of pills.
On Dec. 18, Jordan launched several cross-border air raids against Syria, targeting hideouts of drug smugglers.
Egypt, one of the mediators between Israel and Hamas, has proposed a multistage plan that would kick off with a swap of hostages for prisoners, accompanied by a temporary ceasefire
Updated 38 min 51 sec ago
Reuters AP
JERUSALEM: Israel must take full control of the Gaza Strip border corridor with Egypt to ensure a “demilitarization” of the area, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Speaking at a press conference, Netanyahu said: “The Philadelphi Corridor — or to put it more correctly, the southern closing point (of Gaza) — must be in our hands. It must be shut. Any other arrangement would not ensure the demilitarization that we seek.”
He did not elaborate. If accomplished, such a move would mark a de facto reversal of Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, placing the enclave under exclusive Israeli control after years of being run by Hamas.
Netanyahu’s comments about the buffer zone came as Israeli military forces pressed ahead with an offensive that the prime minister reiterated would last “for many more months.”
Netanyahu and his continued rule is the most significant existential threat to our country and our society.
Gal Tzur, Protester
Israelis, still largely united behind the war’s goals, are showing signs they are losing patience.
On Saturday night, thousands took part in one of the largest demonstrations against Netanyahu since the war began. The country is still sharply divided over the long-serving leader and a judicial overhaul plan he set in motion before the war.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu and his continued rule is the most significant existential threat to our country and our society,” said protester Gal Tzur.
A separate protest on Saturday called for the release of the estimated 129 remaining hostages held by Hamas. Families of hostages and their supporters have demanded that the government prioritize hostage releases over other war objectives, and have staged large protests every weekend.
Egypt, one of the mediators between Israel and Hamas, has proposed a multistage plan that would kick off with a swap of hostages for prisoners, accompanied by a temporary ceasefire.
A similar deal in November saw Hamas free over 100 hostages and Israel release 240 Palestinian prisoners.
But the sides still appear far from striking a new deal.
Both Hamas and the Islamic Jihad group say no more hostages will be freed until Israel ends the offensive and withdraws from Gaza.
Gazans pray new year can bring peace after ‘wreckage’ of 2023
The Israeli bombardment has pushed nearly all Gazans from their homes, killed 21,800 people, according to health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave
Updated 10 min 32 sec ago
Reuters
RAFAH: As they turn from a year that could barely have brought more bitter hardship after 12 weeks of a pulverizing Israeli assault, people in Gaza have little hope that 2024 will bring much relief.
In Rafah on Gaza’s border with Egypt, which has become the biggest focal point for Palestinians fleeing other parts of the enclave, people on Sunday were more preoccupied with trying to find shelter, food, and water than by the new year.
“In 2024, I wish to go back to the wreckage of my home, pitch a tent, and live there,” said Abu Abdullah Al-Agha, a middle-aged Palestinian man whose house in Khan Younis was destroyed and who lost a young niece and nephew in an Israeli airstrike.
“I wish for our children to live in peace and security, to go back to school, back to university, for workers to go back to work and find a source of income,” he added.
The Israeli bombardment has pushed nearly all Gazans from their homes, killed 21,800 people, according to health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave, and left survivors facing hunger, disease, and destitution.
Any hope of a political settlement to the conflict and Palestinians’ 75-year quest for self-determination appear further away than ever.
“Since October, we’ve been struggling in tents in the streets after our homes were demolished,” said Suzan Khader, weeping, adding that she wished the new year would bring an end to the war.
“Our whole lives are now on the streets, we eat in the streets, we live on the streets, we die on the streets, and even our children are on the streets, and we’re all displaced. So many struggles in 2023,” she added.
People crowd around makeshift tents in Rafah that have sprung up on streets and pavements, in empty lots and fields. UN-run schools designated as shelters early in the conflict were rapidly filled with people whose homes were destroyed.
In tents made with crude plastic sheeting, where people have only the minimum of belongings, such as blankets and cooking utensils, people look back with fond sadness on their abandoned homes and lives.
“I hope in 2024 that everything is fixed and for life to go back to normal,” said Muna Al-Sawaf, 12, from Gaza City, playing with a kitten in the rubble.
“I want life to go back to normal, get dressed, rerun errands, our homes to be rebuilt.”
A tally by US military officials has counted 106 attacks against its troops in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17
Updated 31 December 2023
AFP
IRBIL: Authorities in Iraqi Kurdistan said Sunday two drones struck a military base used by the autonomous region’s security forces, blaming the attack on “outlaws” funded by Baghdad.
The attack on the base in Irbil province was carried out late Saturday and caused some damage but no casualties, the regional government said in a statement.
The region’s peshmerga forces are allies of the US-led anti-militant coalition that has troops deployed in Iraq.
BACKGROUND
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7, there has been a surge in attacks on US forces and their allies in Iraq and neighboring Syria.
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7, there has been a surge in attacks on US forces and their allies in Iraq and neighboring Syria.
The majority have been claimed by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a loose alliance of Iran-linked armed groups that oppose US support for Israel in the Gaza war.
A tally by US military officials has counted 106 attacks against its troops in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17.
Prime Minister of Kurdistan Masrour Barzani said he was “deeply alarmed” by Saturday’s drone attack.
“I condemn the outlaws and their collaborators in the strongest terms possible,” he said on X, formerly Twitter.
The regional government said these groups “are funded by the federal government” in Baghdad, with which it has strained relations.
The government of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani is backed by pro-Tehran parties.
Sudani’s office said Sunday he “had ordered a thorough investigation into this criminal (drone) attack,” in coordination with the Iraqi Kurdish security services. | https://www.arabnews.com/node/2434576/middle-east | 2024-01-01T03:27:10Z |

The Carolina Panthers are just an absolute mess right now after losing in Week 17 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's been a rough go for this franchise and things got embarrassing during the game though, when team owner, David Tepper was seen possibly throwing a drink at an opposing fan.
Tepper may have lost his cool on Sunday after a video was shared on social media. It appears he grabs a drink and throws it toward the stands. It's not clear where the cup lands, but a Jaguars fan gets up and starts yelling into the Panthers' suite.
Not great: #Panthers owner David Tepper appears to have spilled his drink on a #Jaguars fan during today's frustrating 26-0 loss.

Although it's not entirely clear what happened, it's still a bad look for the Panthers' owner. But it appears frustrations boiled over on Sunday. Absolutely nothing has gone in the right direction for this franchise this season and the future looks incredibly bleak.
Bryce Young has been less than impressive all year. The rest of the roster is riddled with holes and needs improvement. Additionally, the Panthers don't have their first round pick after trading it away during the 2023 NFL Draft. Not to mention, Carolina doesn't even have that great of cap space for the upcoming offseason. Oh, and they still need a head coach!
It might be a while before we see the Panthers back on top of the league. Despite that, David Tepper can't just lose his cool like he did in this video. It's okay to be upset, but to take it out on a random Jaguars fan is absurd. Maybe Carolina can right the ship next season, but it's going to take a lot of improvement everywhere before real change is made. | https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-david-tepper-possibly-throws-drink-at-jaguars-fan | 2024-01-01T03:27:14Z |
AIIB will ‘fully assess’ risks of financing post-conflict countries: President Jin Liqun
In an exclusive interview with the Emirates News Agency, WAM, Jin Liqun has described safety and security as "the basis" to accomplish successful development projects in any member country.
"We are duty bound to support all members, particularly those countries which need our help," he said.
"On the other hand, we need to make a full assessment of the risks we may be facing in financing some of these countries," he added, answering a question of whether the bank is planning to invest in post-conflict or unstable countries.
"I hope the political situation will be stabilised, and as you know, safety and security are really the basis for development projects to be done successfully."
Headquartered in Beijing, the AIIB is a multilateral development bank, which began operations in 2016 to help meet Asia's infrastructure needs.
The bank has currently 93 approved members, mostly from Asia.
Jin Liqun, who previously served as China's Vice Minister of Finance, also spoke about cooperation and investment opportunities in the UAE, which is a founding member of the bank.
"We do believe that there are very good opportunities for us to invest in the UAE particularly in energy and transportation," he said.
"We can also work with the UAE in promoting the bank's support for other countries, as it has financial resources, a sovereign wealth fund and experience in developing its economy.
"We want to showcase the cooperation by doing projects together with the private sector investors and to have high-quality projects moving forward," he added.
About the UAE's present and future economy, AIIB President said, "The UAE is doing very well, but of course there are challenges like how to deal with a downward drift of the economy, how to handle this transition and intensive period to the renewable energy period, and how to diversify the economy. All these kinds of issues are very important for the government to handle."
"But I am very much confident that this country will be able to handle difficult issues given its past experience," he added. | https://en.inform.kz/news/aiib-will-fully-assess-risks-of-financing-post-conflict-countries-president-jin-liqun_a3497845/ | 2024-01-01T03:27:15Z |

The Boston Bruins played to their strengths in the final game of the 2023 calendar year defeating the Detroit Red Wings in the Motor City on New Year’s Eve.
Riding a two-game winning streak, Boston jumped out to a two-goal lead on the back of Trent Frederic, who recorded his second multi-goal game of the season. Detroit erased the lead by scoring twice in the middle frame — the second on what appeared to be goaltender interference on Jeremy Swayman.
Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery challenged the call on the ice, but after a five-minute review of the play, the call stood, and Boston was assessed a two-minute penalty for delay of game.
“We didn’t feel like we had anything to lose,” Montgomery told Andy Brickley of his decision to challenge the call, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “We did think it was goalie interference, and the refs explained what the judgment was and why it wasn’t. It also slowed the game down. We were trending the wrong way. It was like a long time out because it did take long and it wasn’t an easy decision for them.”

The Bruins managed to kill off the bench minor served by rookie Georgii Merkulov and head into the room knotted at two aside. Boston came out of the intermission poised to take control of the game if they took care of the details.
“I just loved the way we competed,” Montgomery said. “We supported pucks well, we were composed. I think we only had one icing (in the third period) and that’s a tribute to our guys really digging in on the details and incredible puck support.”
Charlie Coyle broke the 2-2 tie with his 11th goal of the season at 3:52 of the third to shift the momentum back to the Bruins.
“There’s no panic, 2-2, tie game on the road heading into the third period, we’ll take that any day,” Coyle told Adam Pellerin on NESN’s postgame coverage. “It’s not hard to muster up some energy and get the job done. Everyone played a part. Everyone focused on the details, the little things and it pays off when we do things like that. We’re successful because of it.”

The Bruins were called for six penalties in the game and were near-perfect, killing the first five. The Red Wings scored their lone power-play goal with 1:22 left in regulation. Jeremy Swayman made 10 other saves with Boston a man down.
“Sway was our best penalty killer,” Montgomery said. “He made a couple of great saves … several. But, we’re getting back to Bruins’ hockey. We’re finding our identity. I think that the adversity that we’ve gone through is toughened us up.”
The Bruins added two empty net goals from Jake DeBrusk and Pavel Zacha to complete the victory and end the 2023 calendar year on a positive note.

Here are more notes from Sunday’s Bruins-Red Wings game:
— The Bruins set the NHL record for the most regular-season road wins in a calendar year with 32 in 2023, eclipsing the 2013 record of 31 road wins by the Chicago Blackhawks, according to NHL Public Relations.
— David Pastrnak ended the 2023 calendar year leading the NHL in most goals scored with 58. Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan McKinnon was five goals behind Pastrnak with 53. The Czechnia native didn’t record a goal in the Bruins win but had two assists for his 17th multi-point game of the season.
— Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm each had a multi-point game, with McAvoy assisting on three of the Bruins’s five goals and Lindholm recording two secondary assists.

— The Bruins complete their two-game road trip when they head to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. Puck drop from Nationwide Arena is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, and you can catch the game, plus an hour of pregame coverage, on NESN.

CHICAGO: At one of the nation’s largest gatherings of Muslim Americans in Chicago on Saturday, leaders of the #AbandonBiden campaign said that the movement to block Joe Biden’s re-election due to his refusal to support a ceasefire to end the killing of civilians in Gaza was “growing quickly and will not turn back.”
The #AbandonBiden campaign press conference took place during the three-day annual convention hosted by the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America at Chicago’s McCormick Convention Center. The convention attracts more than 25,000 attendees each year and addresses a range of issues including understanding Islam, improving health care and social services, and community activism.
Hassan Abdel Salam, co-leader of the #AbandonBiden movement from Minnesota, said that the goal was to “galvanize all voters of conscience” to “stand up” to Biden’s “betrayal.” He said 10 key swing states that Biden won in 2020 are the main targets but that the group was expanding to all 50 American state primaries to block a Biden re-election victory in the Nov. 4, 2024 presidential election.
“We come to you today, Muslim leaders from across the nation, united and focused on one message: Abandon Biden. How did we get here? After droves and droves of Arabs and Muslims in 2020 came to Biden’s side and made him president of the United States, we are betrayed,” Salam said, calling it an “American campaign of justice.”
He said: “We came here because of a betrayal by a president who claimed he was committed to the value of life, and justice and dignity, and then permitted and abetted genocides.”
Salam acknowledged that “abandoning Biden” could result in the return of former president Donald Trump, but said that Arab and Muslim Americans “have no other choice” because Biden “violated the dignity of life” by his opposition to a ceasefire in Gaza.
“We do this knowing full well that not supporting the president means him potentially losing seven critical swing states and up to nine that add up to 133 electoral votes. Last election, 74 electoral votes was the margin that Mr. Biden won by (over Trump). We are here to announce a 50-state strategy involving all states, fundraising, working on messaging, working on data to ensure that President Biden loses the upcoming election,” Salam said.
“The president betrayed us. He violated the value of dignity and life. The idea of ‘the lesser of two evils’ is not a package people can support — a policy of death — there is no greater evil than death. Even living under a Republican for the next four years is nothing compared to living one day in Gaza.”
Presidential candidates are given “electoral votes” when they win each of the nation’s 50 states. Electoral votes reflect population size. In 2020, Biden received 306 electoral votes, defeating Trump who received only 232. To become president, a candidate must have at least 270 electoral votes. #AbandonBiden activists said that they can prevent Biden from reaching that 270 electoral vote total.
There are more than 7 million Muslims and about 4.5 million Arabs in America, numbers estimated by community leaders because the US Census excluded the counting of Arabs and Muslims during its decennial count.
“Swing states” where Biden defeated Trump include Michigan, by only 154,188 votes; Arizona by 10,457; in Wisconsin by 20,682; in Georgia by 11,779; in Nevada by 33,596; and in Pennsylvania by 81,660 votes. In Minnesota, which has a large Arab Muslim population, Biden defeated Trump by 233,012 votes. But Salam said the Muslim vote would increase there significantly because of voter registration and activism.
The size of these vote differences are dwarfed by the more than 155 million votes cast.
Salam said that civil rights could not be compromised for political agendas and that “protecting the lives of others, even if they are not American,” is a principle that must be embraced.
“This story is just the beginning. We are hoping to change the political landscape and bring both parties closer to pursuing justice in foreign policy,” Salam said.
“There is no choice ... folks tell us Mr. Trump will have a travel ban. But the reality is what Mr. Trump’s policy did, and we are committed fully to the idea of not voting for Mr. Trump — if he is running, that is still a big question. We believe this idea that your parents or your family can’t come into the country, the policy which was pursued by Mr. Trump, is not like a policy in which your friends and family are killed.”
The #AbandonBiden organizers said that they are pursuing collaboration with Hispanics, African-Americans and youth who are also shocked by Biden’s refusal to call for a ceasefire in the Gaza war, in which more than 20,000 people have been killed, including more than 8,000 children.
Salam said that the “#AbandonBiden campaign” was “a political awakening” for the Arab and Muslim American community.
“Mr. Biden, what is the point of voting for you if you deny 2.2 million people water? Mr. Biden, what is the point of voting for you when you deny 2.2. million people food?” Salam said.
“It is sad for us to say this, because we were by your side ... Americans are among some of the most beloved people who wish and pursue a better world. But they don’t understand Gaza.”
Speakers at the press conference included activists from Minnesota, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
“Mr. President, this is not a ‘tantrum.’ This is real. And it is beyond 2024. We advise you to pack your stuff and either go to Delaware or go to Pennsylvania because we will not bargain on the blood of innocent people,” said Khaled Kansou of Minnesota.
Khalid Turaani, a Michigan activist, condemned Biden for using the US veto to block a ceasefire at the UN that would have saved thousands of civilian lives, and for giving “more weapons and ammunition” and funding to Israel to continue the assault.
“The genocide is the point. This is the first war in history that is being live-streamed. It is almost embarrassing to call ourselves Americans when our government, our tax dollars, are being used to excuse these war crimes; this is genocide,” Turaani said.
Turaani said that the Arab and Muslim community were insulted that cronies and supporters of President Biden were brushing off Arab and Muslim anger and frustration as being “temporary,” a “tantrum,” or an exercise in “therapy.”
“Things will be different in November ... We will make sure you are a one-term president. We will make sure that you will go down in history paired with Gaza and that Gaza made you a one-term president,” Turaani said.
Turaani said that the community was especially angered by how Biden had embraced Israel’s propaganda and “exaggerated claims” of violence while marginalizing counter-claims from Palestinians, resulting in “even more Palestinians being killed.”
#AbandonBiden organizers emphasized that the issue was not about endorsing any other candidate. It was about “standing up for principle and morality.”
Salam said that the movement would be organizing in each of the “swing states” and would establish a voting presence in all 50 US states. He urged the public to visit www.AbandonBiden24.com for more information. | https://www.arabnews.com/node/2434586/world | 2024-01-01T03:27:17Z |

In a rather lackluster 2023 NFL campaign, the New England Patriots find themselves with a 4-11 record heading into their Week 17 showdown against the Buffalo Bills. Despite the overall disappointment, there's a glimmer of optimism after their recent Week 16 triumph over the Denver Broncos. Now, let's dive into some bold predictions for the Patriots in their upcoming game against the Bills.
Week 16 Victory
Enduring a challenging season with a losing record, the Patriots are gearing up for a crucial Week 17 showdown against the Bills. Despite their struggles, a glimmer of hope emerged in their Week 16 triumph over the Denver Broncos. Notably, the Patriots' defense has been a bright spot throughout the season, delivering stellar performances against formidable opponents. However, the offense has faced inconsistency. Despite these hurdles, the Patriots have displayed commendable character in recent weeks and aim to conclude the season on a positive note as they try to play spoiler against the Bills.
Of course, the Patriots approach their Week 17 encounter against the Bills with an underdog mentality. The stakes are high for the Bills, eyeing a postseason berth. Last week's 26-23 road victory against the Broncos spared Bill Belichick from setting a personal record for the most losses in a season. In a standout performance, Bailey Zappe recorded a season-best 256 passing yards and two touchdowns. He also did not throw any interceptions. The defense played a pivotal role, recovering two fumbles and contributing to the hard-fought triumph. We'll see if they can replicate that here against Josh Allen & Co.

Here are our bold predictions for the New England Patriots as they face the Buffalo Bills in the Week 17 matchup of the 2023 NFL season.
Embracing Zappe's Brilliance
Bailey Zappe showcased his prowess by completing 25 of 33 passes for 256 yards, notching two touchdowns, and avoiding interceptions in their narrow triumph last Sunday. Despite a sluggish start for the Patriots' offense, Zappe orchestrated a remarkable turnaround in the second half. Initiating a five-play, 70-yard touchdown drive on New England's first offensive possession in the third quarter, he capped it off with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Ezekiel Elliott. Zappe followed up with another impressive drive. This culminated in an 11-yard touchdown throw to Mike Gesicki. His final drive set the stage for a game-winning field goal with mere seconds remaining. This marks Zappe's second multi-touchdown performance in the last three games. Sure, the Patriots may be in search of a new starting quarterback in the upcoming offseason. However, Zappe's strong finish is solidifying his standing in the NFL. We can easily imagine him continuing to play well in Week 17 against the Bills. He should put up around 250-plus yards anew.
Ezekiel's Impact
In the Patriots' recent victory, Ezekiel Elliott carried the ball 12 times for 27 yards and secured nine receptions for 33 yards. This included a touchdown. With Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined due to an ankle injury, Elliott took charge of the ground game. Despite a lackluster ground performance, Elliott served as a reliable target for Zappe, finding the end zone with a 15-yard reception early in the third quarter. Although he fell short of reaching 30 rushing yards in his past two games, Elliott maintained consistency through at least five catches in his last three outings.
Listed as questionable for Sunday's clash against the Bills due to illness, Elliott missed Thursday's practice but returned on Friday. Now, he is off the injury list. In the continued absence of Stevenson, Elliott should lead the Patriots' backfield for the fourth consecutive game. We have him playing better here and tallying 40-plus yards on the ground.

Parker's Impactful Role
DeVante Parker emerged as a key contributor with four receptions on five targets. He tallied 65 yards in their victory last Sunday. With the absence of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Hunter Henry, Parker played a pivotal role in the Patriots' offense. Noteworthy were his two crucial second-half receptions. The first was a 30-yard gain late in the third quarter that set the stage for a touchdown three plays later. Parker then added a 27-yard reception with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. This positioned the team for the game-winning field goal. With a minimum of four catches in each of his last three games, Parker consistently surpassed 40 yards in those outings. We see him doing that again in Week 17.
Patriots Face Uphill Battle
Yes, the Patriots may have thwarted Denver's playoff aspirations last weekend. That said, they face a more formidable opponent in the Bills in Week 17. Despite the potential to disrupt Buffalo's postseason ambitions, the combination of Josh Allen and Sean McDermott will prove to be too much. In what promises to be a tense battle, Buffalo will find a way to win. They should not solely rely on Allen but also showcase a well-executed run game. With this victory, Buffalo inches closer to securing a playoff berth while the Patriots find themselves with loss No. 12.
Looking Ahead
As the New England Patriots gear up for a pivotal Week 17 clash against the Buffalo Bills, the stage is set for a showdown of resiliency and desperation. Bailey Zappe's recent stellar performances have hinted at a promising future for the quarterback in the NFL. Ezekiel Elliott remains a versatile playmaker and a reliable target for Zappe. DeVante Parker's impactful contributions further solidify the Patriots' offensive capabilities. However, facing off against a determined Bills team, the Patriots are aware of the uphill battle that lies ahead. As the regular season nears its climax, the Patriots' fortunes hang in the balance. The outcome of this clash will undoubtedly leave a lasting mark on their future aspirations. | https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-bold-predictions-week-17-matchup-bills | 2024-01-01T03:27:20Z |
