Cameras Caught Mac Jones Looking Disgusted on Sideline After Bailey Zappe’s Second INT vs. Bills
The Buffalo Bills—New England Patriots matchup has served fans a heaping of unpredictable madness in Week 17, from a game-opening kickoff return touchdown to Bailey Zappe throwing two picks in the first quarter alone.
Meanwhile, Pats backup quarterback Mac Jones has been serving some nasty looks on the sidelines.
Following Zappe’s second pick, which was intercepted by Bills’ Rasul Douglas at New England’s 24-yard-line, the cameras panned to Jones pacing the sideline.
The former first-rounder appeared to shake his head in disgust and then look back down.

Jones has been benched ever since Week 12’s 10—7 loss to the New York Giants, with 2022 fourth-rounder Zappe taking over starting duties in the final stretch of the Pats’ 2023 season.
Pats fans may be surprised that Jones didn't break out his typical smirk, considering how this game is going for Zappe and Co.
Jokes have been made on social media about Zappe looking like a complete clone of Jones based on Zappe's turnover-prone performance so far. In the first half against Buffalo, Zappe has gone 5-for-12 for 73 yards and thrown three interceptions, including a pick-six to start the second quarter.
The Bills are currently up 20—14 halfway through the second quarter.

The Christmas/New Year season is one of heightened terrorism alert in Europe. Today, German authorities announced that they had stopped an intended Islamic attack on Cologne’s (Koln’s) historic cathedral:
German police have arrested three people suspected of planning a New Year’s Eve terrorist attack on Cologne Cathedral, which was reportedly to be carried out in a car loaded with explosives.
Officers had first been informed of an attack planned for Christmas Eve and patrolled the cathedral with machine guns until New Year’s Eve, when they intercepted the group.
The detainees, who are all Tajik, had planned to use a car as their means of attack but “in which way is not known”, said Cologne police.
Once again, it seems that intelligence was good, as the three suspects were arrested far from the cathedral:
The suspects were detained in the cities of Duisburg, Herne and Dueren in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and their apartments in these areas were also searched.
These suspects are apparently involved in an international group loyal to ISIS:
Bild Daily reported in December that the group had allegedly wanted to carry out attacks for Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K), an Isis offshoot in Afghanistan.
The group had become involved with an extremist network in Germany, Austria and Spain, according to German prosecutors and the country’s Federal Intelligence Service.
The three suspects are believed to be linked to another Tajik national, aged 30, who was arrested on Christmas Eve, according to Cologne police.
The 30-year-old was also detained by German police on the same day that Austria announced the arrests of another three suspects in Vienna.
All things considered, the problem of Islamic terrorism is not as severe as one thought it could be ten or fifteen years ago. This is due, I think, to effective international police work, and also, one hopes, to the fact that most European Muslims do not support ISIS or other terrorist groups. | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/12/attack-on-cologne-cathedral-foiled.php | 2024-01-01T03:30:13Z |
The NFC South remains wide open and the New Orleans Saints are trying to clinch a playoff spot as they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, they might need to play the rest of the game without star running back Alvin Kamara.
Midway through the game, Kamara was seen limping to the locker room with what appeared to be an ankle injury, according to Physical Therapy doctor, Tom Christ. It's not clear if Alvin Kamara will return in Week 17.
“Mechanism consistent with a high ankle sprain. Walking without much limp into the locker room so hopefully it’s minor.”

Not too long after the injury occurred, Alvin Kamara was officially ruled out, according to Nick Underhill of the NOF Network. He'll be evaluated in the locker room to determine if he can return. However, it might be smarter to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the day.
“Alvin Kamara has been ruled out for the rest of the game.”
The Saints' rushing attack is likely to take a major hit with Kamara sidelined. Jamaal Williams will take over as the starting option. Although he's found success in the past, he's just not the same caliber of a running back as Alvin Kamara. Regardless, New Orleans will try to run against a tough Buccaneers' defense without their star player.
Before falling to injury, Alvin Kamara accumulated 45 rushing yards off of 10 attempts. He also had four receiving yards off of two receptions. Not the most impressive game, but he did provide a spark in the rushing attack, at the very least.
Look for more updates regarding Kamara. Whether he returns to action or not, the Saints will closely monitor their star running back over the coming days. | https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-alvin-kamara-sufferes-ankle-injury-vs-buccaneers | 2024-01-01T03:30:14Z |
Astana Hub set a task to attract KZT 4.8 bln of investments
"Astana Hub shows good results. We have already held three acceleration programs to select 47 startups and attract more than KZT 180 mln of investments," the Minister told the expanded board meeting.
According to him, this year the Astana Hub is assigned to attract KZT 4.8 bln of investments.
He has encharged Vice Minister Dinara Shcheglova jointly with Zerde Holding to elaborate the corresponding roadmap.
He also stressed that work aimed at improvement of legislation will be continued further. "In particular, the draft law on amendments to some legislative acts of Kazakhstan on regulation of digital technologies has been developed. The law is meant to lay foundation for regulation of sooner adoption of technologies such as blockchain, Big Data, AI, robotization," Abayev resumed. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-hub-set-a-task-to-attract-kzt-4-8-bln-of-investments_a3500099/ | 2024-01-01T03:30:14Z |
(LONDON) — Dozens of Russian drones targeted civilian and military targets in Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian officials said, a day after Russia accused Ukraine of a deadly strike on a Russian border city.
Russia launched at least nine missiles and at least 49 drones before 6 a.m. Sunday, Ukrainian officials said. Ukraine’s military said it shot down 21 of the drones.
The assault targeted cities, including Kyiv, the capital, hitting administrative and residential buildings, Ukraine said. Four drones struck central Kharkiv, sparking fires that spread over about 1,000 square meters, the country’s State Emergency Service said on social media. No injuries or deaths had been reported, officials said.
The aerial assault followed two days of escalated shelling, including a strike on Saturday in Belgorod, Russia, that killed at least 21 people, according to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Dashcam video taken by a vehicle driving along a retail strip in Belgorod appeared to show a missile landing within the city, shattering nearby windows and sending pedestrians fleeing.
Ukraine has not claimed responsibility, but Russia blamed Ukraine for that deadly strike, which officials said injured another 111 people.
Russia a day earlier had launched one of its largest overnight aerial assaults on Ukraine since the war began. The attack began at about 11 p.m. on Thursday and lasted for several hours. It included at least 122 missiles and 36 drones, the Ukrainian Armed Forces said.
At least 41 people were killed and about 160 were injured, Ukrainian officials said.
The Ukrainian Air Force said it’s “never seen so many locations targeted simultaneously.”

Catapult Clarifies Security Investigation Ahead of CFP
In an email obtained by Sports Illustrated, Catapult, the software company that the overwhelming majority of college football teams use to both host and exchange game and practice film, sent a message to its users Sunday morning as rumors swirled about security issues regarding the app. Both the Alabama Crimson Tide and Michigan Wolverines spoke about taking precautions to safeguard their film during Rose Bowl prep.
“Over the past few days, there were false reports that Catapult is under investigation by the NCAA and law enforcement regarding our ThunderCloud video system,” the email said. “While we assisted a local law enforcement authority investigating an alleged unauthorized access into a customer's ThunderCloud system, this was not an investigation of Catapult. In conjunction with this investigation, Catapult proactively conducted a thorough security review of our ThunderCloud system and found no data breaches or unauthorized access to any customer's content. We are not under investigation by the NCAA or any law enforcement agency.”
The email went on to assure that user passwords are secure through encryption and that Catapult internal teams cannot access individual users' content and they can only reset passwords after validating a user’s login credentials. Catapult works with over 4,000 sports teams worldwide.
For college football programs it is one of two main options to host and share film. Catapult has more robust options on the backend for video coordinators, for instance, to generate clips for any situation automatically, such as all the plays run by a certain down and distance, route concept, or field zone. But it’s also much more expensive. Its top-tier package can cost a team well into the six figures per year to host its video and give access to over 100 players and staff and unlimited support calls with Catapult’s team if something goes wrong. In the opinion of multiple college football video coordinators, a significant data breach of Catapult’s systems would be “catastrophic” and “change everything.”
During Alabama’s first media session, multiple Crimson Tide players acknowledged that during College Football Playoff prep they were not allowed to watch film on their individual tablets (a common practice) and instead could only watch in groups with their coaches. It’s not that the amount of film watched has decreased, only how they view it.
Following the news from Bama players, Catapult released a public statement to multiple media members on Dec. 29 that said “[Catapult is] aware of the ongoing investigation of the alleged unauthorized access to NCAA football video footage. We have conducted an internal investigation and have not found any security breach in our systems. We have shared this with local authorities that are conducting an investigation.”
It is still unclear what local law enforcement agency Catapult was working with. A Dec. 29 request for clarification from Catapult by SI has not been returned. A Michigan spokesperson told ESPN that it was not accused of the breach and instead the Wolverines believe they were a potential target.
Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore said the Wolverines adopted the same policy in early November while the fallout from the Wolverines sign stealing investigation was raging on.
“Yeah, just caught wind of things that could be going on, and just told our kids, I think it was early November, ‘Hey, we’re not watching stuff on the iPads anymore.’ Watch it in-house and handle it that way,” Moore said.
On Nov. 27, Catapult sent a message to users to share best practices to enhance security, including two-factor authentication and generating usage reports to monitor who is accessing a team’s network. It also shared further security recommendations and info on different security permissions. The best practices were reiterated in the New Year’s Eve note.

Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints kept their playoff hopes alive with a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Allen couldn't contain his excitement after watching his Saints pull out the victory.
New Orleans came away with a 23-13 win. Allen said the Saints knew their backs were against the wall and responded by playing with a playoff mentality. When New Orleans needed a big win, Allen's squad responded, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.

Saints syndrome
New Orleans got out to a 20-0 lead and kept the Buccaneers out of the end zone until the fourth quarter. They kept Tampa Bay's run game in check, limiting the Bucs to just 57 yards on the ground. Furthermore, they intercepted Baker Mayfield twice and used their big lead to hold onto the victory.
The Saints still aren't out of the water just yet. Tampa Bay can still clinch the NFC South with a win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. However, if they lose, and the Saints take down the Atlanta Falcons, the New Orleans will be the NFC South champions.
It certainly wasn't the straightest path for the Saints to get into playoff contention. They've alternated wins and loss, going on a three game losing streak and numerous two-game winning streaks. But for Allen, their Week 17 victory over the Buccaneers saw New Orleans put their whole gameplan together.
They will need a little help from Tampa Bay if they want to punch their ticket to the postseason. But the Saints did their part in Week 18. Dennis Allen was amped up after the win and is hoping New Orleans' momentum carries into the final game of the regular season. | https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-dennis-allen-reaction-crucial-win-buccaneers | 2024-01-01T03:30:20Z |
Astana Mayor proposes solutions to support large families
"Recently, district administrations and specialized departments have carried out reception of citizens. As a result, we made a database of particularly needy families. We see the picture and know the specific needs and problems of each of the families. At the first stage, we provided prompt assistance in terms of food, coal, school supplies, and conducted outreach activities. Sponsors and volunteers supported the initiative of the city districts' administrations to install gas analyzers in huts and private dwellings. We mapped out individual plans to support each family," said Bakhyt Sultanov.
One of the key issues raised by citizens is the affordability of housing.
"We should provide low-income and particularly needy families, including multi-child families, with municipal housing," the mayor concluded.
The mayor entrusted to decide on support tools through the Employment Roadmap, the Business Roadmap, social support and targeted social assistance for each family undergoing hardship.
At the same time, he emphasized the need to increase the level of solvency of citizens.
"Malika Bekturova, I charge you with exploring the possibility of providing members of large families with higher income jobs. In case of insufficient skills, it is necessary to ensure professional development and subsequent employment of citizens in the city's prioritized areas. In addition, based on the information available, I instruct you to make up the scheme for raising resources for assistance, including the possibility of awarding housing certificates," said Bakhyt Sultanov.
The mayor tasked the heads of the districts, jointly with the heads of Astana Administration's departments, to continue face-to-face meetings with citizens within the framework of the open week announced earlier.
"All statements and requests voiced by large families and other citizens should be promptly systematized, analyzed and submitted to the Government for consideration by the working group," said the mayor.
According to the latest data, 10,095 families living in Astana raise four or more children. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-mayor-proposes-solutions-to-support-large-families_a3498553/ | 2024-01-01T03:30:21Z |
(NEW YORK) — At least four people were killed and two others were critically injured when a house in a rural area of Michigan exploded and sent debris a mile away, authorities said.
The blast unfolded around 4 p.m. Saturday in Whitmore Lake near Northfield Township, about 14 miles north of Ann Arbor, and completely leveled a home, leaving just its foundation surrounded by splintered wood and other blast debris, Lt. David Powell of the Northfield Township Police Department said.
Six people were inside the home when the explosion occurred, Powell said. The names of those who perished have not been released, pending notification of their relatives.
The two survivors were taken to Michigan Medicine, a trauma center at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where they were listed in critical condition, Powell said.
Residents 9 miles away reported hearing the blast, Powell told reporters at the scene.
“It sounded like something I remember from war. It was that loud,” said Scott McMillian, a 40-year resident of Whitmore Lake who lives about a mile from the explosion, told Detroit ABC affiliate WXYZ. “Even in war, I have never heard of anything of this level at this distance.”
McMillian said he found debris from the explosion in his yard. Some residents posted videos on social media of a cloud of smoke and debris in the sky.
The cause of the explosion remained under investigation Sunday by the Northfield Township Police Department.
Powell said homes in the area of the explosion were not damaged.
McMillian told WXYZ he dove for cover when he heard the blast.
“I went facedown on the ground and covered the back of my head, and the whole house shook,” McMillian said. “It was scary.”

I have adapted the heading of this post from the great Thomas Sowell’s occasional columns expressing “random thoughts on the passing scene.” It is unbelievable how many apothegms he formulated and shibboleths he pierced in those occasional columns. In no way can I rise to Sowell’s standards. I only claim to have a few random thoughts. Random I can do.
Sowell compiled numerous random thoughts from his columns in Part VIII of his 2006 collection Ever Wonder Why? And Other Controversial Essays, published by the Hoover Institution. Someone at Hoover has proved himself a benefactor of humanity by uploading Part VIII in PDF form here.
Sowell leads off Part VIII with this random thought: “One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain.” Here is one more from the same page: “If navel-gazing, hand-wringing or self-dramatization helped with racial issues, we would have achieved Utopia long ago.”
Sowell is a constructive genius. His books constitute a permanent legacy to those who struggle to think clearly, write clearly, or improve “the passing scene” through writing. He presents as a model. Although it is difficult to choose a best of his many books, A Conflict of Visions must be one of them.
I posted my political predictions for the coming year in “My cloudy crystal ball” last week. A prediction is not a wish. I hope every pessimistic political prediction I made proves wrong. That is my wish.
George Eliot’s narrator in Middlemarch writes: “Among all forms of mistake, prophecy is the most gratuitous.” In other words, mistakes take many forms. Some are unavoidable. Some are gratuitous. “Prophecy” is the most gratuitous.
I think Joe Biden is the worst president since James Buchanan. Biden’s aspiration seems to be to surpass Buchanan. If so, that would explain a lot. If not, he illustrates the destructive power of leftist ideology.
By contrast, in our recent political history the administrations of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton seem benign. We didn’t know how good we had it. As many conservatives have noted, the Biden administration represents a third Obama term.
The environmental movement has done untold damage to the environment. It will keep it up as long as we have wealth to burn on it. I should think that we have passed that point, but President Biden is committed to continue the burning. He believes in it like the Aztecs believed in human sacrifice.
I understand people who enjoy driving electric cars. I don’t understand people who think that driving electric cars contributes to the preservation of the environment. In political terms the environmental movement seems little more than a pure expression of the left’s will to power.
Speaking of the Aztecs, I wonder if anyone under 60 reads William Prescott on Mexico and Peru or even Francis Parkman on North America. I wonder if anyone under 60 has even heard of them.
Thinking of obscure books of merit, The War Against the Automobile by B. Bruce-Biggs (1977) comes to mind.
It may be difficult to assess the damage Biden has done to the interests of the United States at home and around the world, but his opening of our borders and welcoming of illegal immigrants may be the most destructive of his many destructive acts.
In response to a question about Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson recently condemned “people on the ‘right’ who have spent the last two months every single day focused on a conflict in a foreign country as our own country becomes dangerously unstable, on the brink of financial collapse, with tens of millions of people who shouldn’t be here in the country, we don’t know their identities or the purpose of their being here. Like, stuff that could destroy the country for real and make it impossible for my kids to live here. They’ve said nothing about that, and they’re focused with laser intensity on foreign conflicts that I’m like, at some point I’ve got four kids…” I don’t think Ben Shapiro answers to that description. I don’t know anyone who does.
I find that Tucker Carlson increasingly evokes the animus of Charles Lindbergh circa 1941. In a recent interview, however, Tucker sounds to me like the British dude who characterized the anguish over the fate of Czechoslovakia in 1938 as “a quarrel in a faraway country, between people of whom we know nothing.”

Florida State’s Mike Norvell Got the Sweetest Note From a Young Fan After Blowout Loss to Georgia
Saturday night was a rough one for Mike Norvell and Florida State, as the Seminoles got the doors blown off of them in a historic Orange Bowl defeat at the hands of Georgia by a 63—3 score, the largest margin of victory in any bowl game in college football history.
Needless to say, there were hardly any reasons for Norvell to be in a positive mood following the drubbing, a cruel ending to a strong season that ultimately—and controversially—did not end with a berth in the College Football Playoff.
But one young Seminoles fan gave Norvell a reason to smile, surprising the coach with a handwritten letter when he returned from the Orange Bowl late Saturday night. Check out footage of the heartwarming moment, as well as the handwritten letter, courtesy of Greg Tish on X, formerly Twitter.

Norvell cracked a big smile as he read the young fan's letter, which stated the following.
2/2 here is the letter he wrote to @Coach_Norvell pic.twitter.com/FGeof6Nx23
— Greg Tish WVFT Real Talk 93.3 (@Greg_Tish) December 31, 2023
The Florida State coach then embraced the young fan, thanking him for taking the time to write the note. Norvell and the Seminoles have plenty of reasons to be bitter, whether it's their outrage over not receiving a bid to the Playoff or their disappointment at the number of players who opted out of the Orange Bowl.
But for one heartwarming moment, Norvell and the Seminoles were given a reason to smile.

British actor Henry Cavill is known for his iconic roles as DC Comics superhero Superman (Man of Steel, Justice League, Black Adam) and detective Sherlock Holmes in the Enola Holmes film franchise on Netflix, among others.
Get ready to see more of Cavill: he stars as the titular character in the upcoming spy action comedy movie Argylle with Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help, Jurassic World) who plays the protagonist, Elly Conway, an introverted spy novelist who seldom leaves her home and her beloved cat Alfie.
As seen in the promotional photos and video above and below, Cavill is often holding Alfie the cat, who is played by supermodel Claudia Schiffer‘s real-life cat, Chip. Nepo kitty!
What’s the connection? Schiffer’s husband of 21 years, English filmmaker Matthew Vaughn (Snatch, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, Kingsman), is the director of Argylle.
Chip captioned the photo with Schaffer above: “My big TV debut… Mum was there too.” The two appeared together on The Jonathan Ross Show.

The Seattle Seahawks are getting some good news ahead of a key Week 17 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks are expected to have both DK Metcalf and Kenneth Walker III for the game, per ESPN. Both players are expected to produce for the Seahawks offense.
Seattle is 8-7 on the season and looking to close out their year on a high note. Both Metcalf and Walker help the team's offense under quarterback Geno Smith. The wide receiver Walker is only two yards away from having a 1,000 yard receiving season. He has five receiving touchdowns in his last four games played, going back to a monster performance against the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 30. In that game, Walker finished with 6 receptions for 134 yards with three touchdowns.
Walker, a running back, is battling a shoulder injury. On the season, the rusher has 774 yards on 192 carries. He also has seven rushing touchdowns. Walker has seen his role decrease in the red zone for the Seahawks. He only has one rushing touchdown in the last two months. Despite that, he still has seen a good amount of carries, rushing at least 16 times in the last two games for the Seahawks.
The Seahawks can still reach the NFC playoffs, but need to win out against the Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals in the next few weeks. The Steelers also enter the game Sunday with a 8-7 record. The two teams have a lot to play for as a loss certainly hurts a team's chances for a winning season and possible trip to the playoffs.
Seattle and Pittsburgh kick off Sunday at 4:05 Eastern. | https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-dk-metcalf-kenneth-walker-iii-both-expected-play-in-week-17-vs-steelers | 2024-01-01T03:30:29Z |
Donald Trump has made news by saying, in these Truth posts, that Joe Biden’s illegal open border policy is intended to generate fraudulent votes in the 2024 election:
Those posts are classic Trump. Who else in our political history–at least since the first half of the 19th century–has talked that way? No one.
But what about Trump’s specific claim that Biden has allowed millions of illegal aliens into the country so they can vote next November? It has caused a predictable amount of pearl-clutching on the Left. But will it really happen?
No doubt some of them will vote. Ballot integrity varies widely from state to state. In some states, illegal immigrants can get driver’s licenses, and it is not clear that there are any safeguards in place to prevent them from voting. In other states, like my home state of Minnesota, for example, there are essentially no election safeguards. Anyone who shows up at a polling place and is vouched for as a resident by a Democratic Party volunteer can vote. If it turns out after the fact that he was not a legal voter, too bad: his vote has already been counted.
But as so often happens, what Trump says may or may not be strictly accurate, but it points to a larger truth. Why are Democrats so eager to admit millions of illegal aliens? Why do they take the political risk associated with an unpopular policy? I think the only plausible answer is that they believe they are enlarging the pool of Democratic Party voters. Not necessarily in 2024–the Democrats are good at playing the long game–but for a generation yet to come. As the illegals become entrenched and sign up for government benefits, as they have children who become anchor babies, and as election laws and practices continue to loosen, Democrats reasonably believe that the millions they are illegally admitting now, will bear great fruit in elections to come, in the form of votes both legal and illegal.
Illegal votes cast next November are, I suspect, only a bonus. | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/12/trump-says-illegals-will-vote-in-2024.php | 2024-01-01T03:30:31Z |

6. Look out your bedroom window
If you’re a single girl, this superstition is supposed to mean your hubby is around the corner. It’s said that on New Year’s Day, if you look out your window as soon as you wake up and see a man (or gal) passing by, it’s a sign you may find yourself walking down the aisle before the year is up!

10. Whip out your red underwear
This funny superstition derives from Latin America and has to do with finding love in the New Year. It’s thought that if you slip into a red pair of undies for NYE, the undergarment will bring a relationship into your life.
11. Be loud
Sure, noisemakers tend to be at most NYE parties, but there’s actually a reason why the tradition of blowing them started—the sounds were believed to ward off evil spirits. So continue to bang on pots and pans, cheer and be loud when the clock strikes midnight!
12. Wake up early
Being an early bird may not be for everyone, especially when it comes to January 1. However, a Polish superstition says that if you commit to waking up early on that day, then it’ll result in you easily waking up early for the rest of the year.

If you’re ever in Italy on NYE, there’s a good chance you’ll see people tossing their belongings—including pieces of furniture—out their window at midnight!

18. Perform a bear dance
In Romania, people dress up bearskins and dance up and down the streets! If they do this between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it’s supposed to ward off bad luck.
19. Pass on the lobster
Having a fancy dinner may sound like a great way to ring in the New Year, but whatever you do, avoid ordering lobster on NYE. Why? Many cultures believe that because lobsters move backward, if you eat one before midnight, then your year will have lots of setbacks.
20. Clean your house
In China and Latin America, a legend suggests that you can literally sweep negativity away! So what are you waiting for? Get started on your NYE deep cleaning now!
21. Burn a scarecrow

In Japan, people eat buckwheat soba noodles at midnight. It’s thought that the noodles will bring about prosperity and longevity if you eat them as one year ends and the other year begins.
24. Open the doors at midnight
It may be chilly outside, but if you open your door just before midnight, it’s supposed to be a way you can let the old year out and welcome the new one in. It’s a simple superstition you can do each year!
25. Forget doing chores
Even though some superstitions are all about doing an NYE pre-clean, this Chinese superstition is the complete opposite. It suggests that you don’t do any cleaning on New Year’s Day because if you do, you’ll end up throwing away or washing away your luck.
Next up, kick off 2024 on the right foot with these 27 things to do on New Year's Day.

(NEW YORK) — U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire and and sank three small boats carrying Houthi militants in the Red Sea on Sunday, after U.S. warships responded to a distress call from a merchant vessel, military officials said.
A Maersk container ship, the Singapore-flagged Hangzhou, issued a distress call at about 6:30 a.m. local time, U.S. Central Command said in a statement on Sunday. The merchant vessel said four small boats were attacking it.
“The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired crew-served and small-arms weapons at the Maersk Hangzhou, getting to within 20 meters of the vessel, and attempted to board the vessel,” Central Command said.
Helicopters from two U.S. ships — the USS Eisenhower and the USS Gravely — responded and issued verbal calls to the small boats, U.S. officials said.
While the helicopters were “in the process of issuing verbal calls to the small boats, the small boats fired upon the U.S. helicopters with crew served weapons and small arms,” Central Command said.
Service members aboard the Navy helicopters returned fire and sank three of the four small boats, killing the crews, U.S. officials said. The fourth boat fled the area.
In a statement Sunday, the Houthis said they lost 10 group members after U.S. forces fired on their vessels, referring to the engagement as “dangerous behavior” that will have “negative repercussions.”
The group also said it will continue operating in the Red Sea. “The American enemy bears the consequences of this crime and its repercussions,” the group said, in part.
The group also reiterated that it will “not hesitate to confront any aggression” against Yemen and renewed its “advice to all countries not to be drawn into the American plans aimed at igniting the conflict in the Red Sea.”
The U.S. does not seek to escalate the conflict, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on “Good Morning America” on Sunday.
“We don’t seek a conflict wider in the region and we’re not looking for a conflict with the Houthis,” Kirby told ABC News’ Whit Johnson. “The best outcome here would be for the Houthis to stop these attacks as we have made clear over and over again.”
Sunday’s incident was the second time in 24 hours that the Hangzhou had issued a distress call, U.S. Navy officials said.
The ship had been traveling on Saturday evening about 55 nautical miles southwest of Al Hudaydah, Yemen, when it was hit by an unknown object, a Maersk spokesperson told ABC News.
The 14,000-container vessel continued north afterward, heading toward its destination of Port Suez, Egypt.
“Maersk can also confirm that after the initial attack on the vessel, four boats approached the vessel and engaged fire in an expected attempt to board the vessel,” said Adhish Alawani, a Maersk spokesperson.
Maersk has delayed all transits through the area for the next 48 hours, as the incident is investigated, he said.
Kirby emphasized the importance of the Red Sea shipping corridor and the critical need to keep it safe and open for international commerce.
Asked if a pre-emptive strike is on the table, Kirby said “we’re not ruling anything in or out.”
“We have made it clear publicly to the Houthis and privately to our allies and partners, and we’re going to make the right decisions going forward,” he added.

The Ottawa Senators are making several moves in their front office. The NHL franchise is appointing Steve Staios as general manager and president of hockey operations, per NHL.com. Dave Poulin also joins the Senators as Senior Vice-President of Hockey Operations. Ryan Bowness is filling the role of Associate General Manager.
Ottawa is making the moves in the midst of a disappointing season for the franchise. Ottawa is 13-18 on the season, and dead last in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. Ottawa has 26 points on the season.
Staios will be in charge of building a winning franchise again for Ottawa. He had been acting in the role of interim general manager for the team after joining the Senators in September. Poulin and Bowness will report to Staios in their respective roles. Bowness worked for the Pittsburgh Penguins for three seasons as director of professional scouting. Poulin is a former NHL player who worked in the front office for the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as in broadcasting.
The men will need to work together to help Ottawa compete for a Stanley Cup. Ottawa has never won a championship since the franchise was founded in 1992. The team did win an Eastern Conference championship in 2007, but lost to Anaheim that year in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Ottawa is led this year by Tim Stutzle, who has 33 points for the team. He leads the Senators in assists with 26. Left wing Brady Tkachuk leads the club in goals with 16 on the season.

How Hunter Fieri Incorporated His Fiancée’s Love for Pickleball Into Her Engagement Ring
Before Hunter Fieri proposed to his now-fiancée, Tara Bernstein, he carefully designed her engagement ring to honor not only their love for one another but also Bernstein's love for pickleball.
Fieri and Bernstein—a pro pickleball player and content creator—had been discussing the next steps in their relationship before he popped the question last month. So he already had an idea of the type of ring his then-girlfriend would adore. Still, he went out of his way to make it even more special.
"We're very open, and as we were discussing wanting to be married to each other, we looked at some rings, and I got a feel for what she wanted," Fieri told People in an interview published on Sunday, Dec. 31. "And then I worked with a buddy of mine to make a custom ring for her, and I wanted it to be really special."
Working with a designer, Fieri found a way to make her ring "pickleball-proof."
"[The designer] made it a little thicker band, with the crown being a little bit thicker, so that if she did hit it on a ball, or on a paddle, you're not kicking that rock off," he explained. "So I made it a little extra durable, a little bigger, just for the fact that I don't want her to take it off."
The custom piece is reinforced so well that fans don't even need to zoom in on the couple's engagement photos to see the serious bling.
View the original article to see embedded media.
He later explained that while he spent time designing the "perfect" ring, at the end of the day, the two just need one another and not some fancy jewelry. "I could give her a Haribo Ring Pop, and I believe that she would still be happy with that with me,” he joked before clarifying that he "would never do that."
"My goal in life is you do this once, and when you do it once, it's got to be perfect," he added of the custom ring. "So I made a ring for her that I think signifies my love for her."
The newly-engaged couple announced their happy news in a joint Instagram post shared over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, about nine months after they officially started dating. "Coming soon…Mr. & Mrs.Fieri ♥️ #blessed," the duo captioned the Nov. 24 set of snaps.
View the original article to see embedded media.
The 27-year-old's father, Guy Fieri, later shared the joyful news on his own social media page, writing, "Congrats to @hunterfieri and @taralynn.nyc You two are made for each other."
The doting dad's sweet statement concluded with a warm welcome, "Welcome to the family, Tara."
As for wedding bells, the two lovebirds have kept a tight lip on the date they intend to say "I do." At least for now.

Astana Opera, Astana Ballet, and Bolshoi Theatre of Russia ink cooperation agreement
The Cooperation Agreement was the result of talks, according to which the parties will develop the partnership in several areas. During the discussion, the management of the two opera houses and the ballet theatre outlined a number of projects, among them performances and training of the Astana Opera and Astana Ballet's soloists at the Bolshoi Theatre. The long-term collaboration plans included exchange tours of the Astana Opera and the Bolshoi Theatre.
It is worth emphasizing that the warm friendly creative ties of the Astana Opera and the Bolshoi Theatre have been formed for a long time, and in the year 2017, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between the two opera houses in Moscow, and now the parties have signed a Cooperation Agreement.
Kazakh artists have performed on the famous Moscow stage more than once. For example, the Astana Opera's Principal Soloists Honored Workers of Kazakhstan Talgat Mussabayev and Dina Khamzina performed the main parts in Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin. In 2017, the Etoile of the Astana Opera Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Bakhtiyar Adamzhan performed on this illustrious stage and won the first prize at the XIII International Ballet Competition and Contest of Choreographers. The Soloist of the Astana Opera Maria Mudryak made her house debut at the Bolshoi Theatre in 2018 in Puccini's opera La Boheme.
The soloists of the Bolshoi Theatre, in turn, also had the opportunity to present their art to the Astana's audience. Thus, Principal Dancer People's Artist of Russia Svetlana Zakharova took part in a gala concert dedicated to the world premiere of the Astana Opera. It is important to note that the Principal Conductor of the Astana Opera, Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Alan Buribayev is a Guest Conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-opera-astana-ballet-and-bolshoi-theatre-of-russia-ink-cooperation-agreement_a3497316/ | 2024-01-01T03:30:42Z |
Actor Ian Ziering is not having a great New Year's Eve. A group of bikers in Los Angeles jumped him.
The 59-year-old actor is known for his role in Sharknado movies and also as Steve Sanders in 90210, who was attacked on Hollywood Blvd, TMZ reports.
Actor Ian Ziering gets attacked on Hollywood Blvd
The assailants were driving on a variety of minibikes and were videoed weaving in and out of the traffic. Apparently, Ziering's vehicle may have been hit, and it's unknown if that's what led to the assault.
Ian gets out of his car and starts hitting a guy and then is ganged up on by others. It led him to retreat to his car and flee the scene. The bikers also took off, and it appears no police were called or anything.
Recently, the actor has been a big support for fellow 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty, who is going through stage 4 breast cancer. She played Brenda Walsh on the popular series.
He talked about her battle and how much of a fighter she is in an interview with PEOPLE.
“Shannen has always been a fighter,” he said. “It's not over.”
“She's got a long road in front of her. She's so courageous and strong and stands as a role model to those that are facing similar adversities,” he added. “She's really an incredible woman.”
As for Beverly Hills, 90210, the series ran from 1990-2000, according to IMDb. It was about a group of friends living in California who “make their way through life from their school days into adulthood.”
Along with Ziering and Doherty, the series starred Jason Priestly as Brandon Walsh, Luke Perry as Dylan McKay, Jennie Garth as Kelly Taylor, Brian Austin Green as David Silver, and Tori Spelling as Donna Martin.
Hopefully, Ian Ziering is okay. Let's hope 2024 goes better for him than this last day in 2023. | https://clutchpoints.com/sharknados-ian-ziering-brutally-jumped-by-bikers | 2024-01-01T03:30:42Z |
Lions’ Dan Campbell Got Rude Awakening Sunday After Someone Gave Out His Home Address, per Report
If Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell tried to sleep off his team’s controversial Week 18 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday morning, some devious pranksters prevented him from doing so.
The Lions flew back to Detroit following their 20–19 loss, but Campbell didn’t get much opportunity to rest as someone gave out his home address and sent several contractors to his house for work early in the morning.
“Somebody gave his address out and sent a bunch of contractors to his house early in the morning to wake him up,” explained insider Jay Glazer on the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show. “Like to fix his garage and his driveway, his front deck. Leave Dan Campbell alone!”
Dan Campbell has had a rough 24 hours

Credit to the contractors who showed up on an early Sunday morning–and New Year’s Eve, no less– to do some big work. Maybe a big payday was promised for some major projects on a holiday weekend.
Those workers were arguably pranked worse than Campbell was, getting their crews and equipment together in cold weather on what probably would’ve been a day off. (Although their home address wasn’t given out.) Even if they got to hang out with the Lions coach for a bit, possibly getting some autographs and selfies, that probably wasn’t worth the trouble.

In their first extended road trip of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers netted a pair of victories with two losses on each side. Considering the Sixers didn’t have Joel Embiid with them for any games, splitting the four games is a decent outcome, especially considering they saw three teams with winning records.
The Sixers concluded their road trip with a loss to the Chicago Bulls where their exhaustion was obvious on the second night of a back-to-back. Though their energy was high, they just didn’t have enough in the tank to manufacture consistent offense. Starting the road swing with a loss to the Miami Heat on Christmas in one of Tyrese Maxey's worst games carried similarly bad vibes.
But picking up two wins against the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets, the latter of which Maxey was particularly excellent in, gave the Sixers something positive to take back to Philly. Tobias Harris pitched in some key scoring and role players like Marcus Morris Sr., Patrick Beverley and Paul Reed each had their moments.
How does Nick Nurse view the Sixers' road trip now that it's over? He told reporters in Chicago that he liked how his team competed and was pleased to return home with two more wins.
“I would probably say the same thing I just told the team. I said, ‘Listen, that was a difficult road trip,’” Nurse said. “And without Joel the whole way, I think that — I kind of said I'm looking forward to it and we needed it. And I'm glad we got out of it 2-2 right? I think any of the wins on that road trip were all gonna be hard and we were able to pick off two of them.
“And again, I thought we fought really hard in the other two,” Nurse continued. “I thought we gave ourselves a chance in Miami after not playing that well and we still had a close game down the stretch. This one wasn't as close down the stretch but I think we were doing everything we could to fight and stay in it.”
These games were key for Maxey, who got to bear the weight of being the primary option for a stretch of games. There were moments of brilliance and brutal shooting slumps against some very solid competition. Experiencing such extremes in opposite directions can help sculpt Maxey's mindset when it comes to leading the Sixers' offense with and without Embiid.
Especially considering that the Sixers had yet to win a game that Embiid missed before this road trip, picking up two over a pair of good teams (even with some key players of theirs also sitting out) is huge. The schedule is about to soften up a bit and include a string of consecutive home games. After slogging through this road stretch, Philly will be expected to get back to winning more often.
The Sixers won’t want to have many more of these double-win sandwiches on loss bread. But considering all the circumstances, they can afford to stomach one this time.
“We had a lot of opportunities that we normally knock down and make,” Harris said after the loss to the Bulls. “Outside of that, just too many hustle plays for them. Offensive rebounds, killed us on the glass. They just had a lot more energy and pop to them. Nonetheless, I think we still fought to be in the game. Just didn't go our way tonight. Shots, myself and our whole group, just one of those games.
“Not to make any excuses,” the Sixers forward said. “We still gotta figure out a way to battle through and find a little bit of something like we did in the last game to give us a victory. But we'll learn from it.” | https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-nick-nurse-honest-outlook-on-difficult-road-trip-without-joel-embiid | 2024-01-01T03:30:49Z |
NFL Week 17 Recap: Home field Advantage, Division Titles at Stake Today
Happy New Year! As we wind down to the final week of the 2023 NFL regular season, there’s plenty at stake.
Going into Sunday morning, 17 teams are in limbo, alive for playoff spots but not guaranteed. There are also the seven teams that have clinched, with the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions having wrapped up their divisions. With wins this weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers can join them, assuring themselves of at least one home playoff game.
As for Sunday’s action, the best game features the Ravens and Dolphins at M&T Bank Stadium. If Baltimore wins, it not only wins the AFC North but also clinches home field advantage throughout the playoffs for the first time since 2019. If Miami wins, the AFC East is polished off, and the Dolphins can take the No. 1 seed with a Week 18 victory over the Bills.
All that said, let’s get to the insights and reactions from Week 17.
This piece will be updated throughout the day …
SATURDAY
Cowboys 20, Lions 19
- What it means for Lions: Detroit (11–5) should be furious. Bad officiating robbed it of an opportunity to potentially host multiple playoff games without needing higher seeds to lose. Instead, it’s incredibly likely the Lions will only host the wild-card round and draw the dangerous Rams led by former Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford. The road just got tougher through no fault of the Lions.
- What it means for Cowboys: Dallas (11–5) kept its hopes alive for the NFC East crown, however faint they are. The Cowboys should feel good about the win, while also acknowledging bizarre coaching and poor game management is a huge concern heading into January. If the Cowboys are ever going to reach another NFC title game, those mistakes have to be eliminated.
THURSDAY
Browns 37, Jets 20
- What it means for Jets: Just another ugly, forgettable loss from a bad, forgettable team. New York (6–10) was supposed to be a contender this season, but that dream was gone four offensive snaps into the campaign. With Aaron Rodgers slated to return in 2024, hope will renew in Gotham, but the Jets need so much help, including a new offensive line, a litany of weapons and an answer on whether Robert Saleh is the right coach. So many questions, so few answers.
- What it means for Browns: Cleveland (11–5) should be elated. The Browns clinched only their third playoff berth since being reintroduced to the NFL in 1999. And it happened in a year where almost nothing has gone right. Both tackles have missed huge chunks of the year. Cleveland lost Nick Chubb to an ugly knee injury in October. The Browns have started four quarterbacks, but the fourth, Joe Flacco, has turned into a cult hero. Flacco has thrown for more than 300 yards in four of his five starts, and has people thinking Super Bowl on the shores of Lake Erie. What a run.

North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
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.

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.” | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/judge-allows-new-court-in-mississippis-majority-black-capital-rejecting-naacp-request-to-stop-it/DXYOQOHMURHRXLMWE32JC3UGQ4/ | 2024-01-01T03:30:50Z |

The Philadelphia 76ers (22-10) wrapped up their Joel Embiid-less road trip against the Chicago Bulls (14-20). The schedule was unkind to the Sixers tonight and they did not have enough to take down the Bulls. They lost by a score of 105-92.
Let's break down the Sixers' final game of 2023.
Sixers player notes:
Tyrese Maxey: 20 points, 0 rebounds, 7 assists, 8-22 FG shooting
Coming off a stellar performance, Maxey fell back down to earth. He wasn’t scoring at will in the paint and, while he probably should have gotten a few more calls, wasn’t able to dominate through the factors of the game he could control. His scoring from everywhere was inefficient, even the foul line, where he shot 2-5.
Kelly Oubre Jr.: 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assists, 5-13 FG shooting
Oubre was the Sixers' best source of energy tonight. It was a stark contrast from many of his teammates as he hardly looked bothered by the schedule crunch of the last few days. He scored at the rim a bunch and made lots of plays on defense.
Bulls player notes:
DeMar DeRozan: 24 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 9-17 FG shooting
DeRozan got up to his veteran tricks in the mid-range, particularly at the end of the first half. The Bulls lacking both of their other veteran scorers left him with a heavy workload to pick up and he did a nice job. Chicago's young bucket-getter provided some pivotal help.
Coby White: 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 7-15 FG shooting
White continues to be a major source of offense and hope for the Bulls. Like Maxey, he possesses great foot speed and knows how to use quick hesi moves and start-stop dribbles to prod the defense.
Game recap:
1st half
The Sixers have done a fine job on this road trip, already securing two wins before their second game in as many nights and their third game in four nights. Even against a mid, shorthanded Bulls team, winning those games is not easy, especially when both are on the road in cities on opposite sides of the country. Embiid remaining out made things tougher, too. Nico Batum returned from a hamstring strain and came off the bench while the Bulls missed Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic and Torrey Craig.
Caruso guarded Maxey, of course, while Kelly Oubre Jr. guarded DeRozan. The Sixers did a very good job forcing turnovers early in the game. Paul Reed led the charge while also scoring the first four points of the night for Philly. But the Sixers made just two of their first 10 shots. Although the Bulls attempted just four shots by that point, they made each of them and took an early lead.
Batum checked into the game halfway through the opening period. He was the first forward to check in, entering the game alongside Chicago's own Patrick Beverley, who drew a charge on Coby White. Harris found the bottom of the net with a couple of tough drives to the basket but the Sixers still couldn’t get much going on offense. Jumpers falling shorts suggested that their legs were a bit tired. Nick Nurse tweaked his rotations to get guys more rest, which included Maxey subbing out twice in the first quarter.
The Bulls' offense wasn’t much better. They didn’t create many threes or shoot all that well from the floor overall. The score after one: 21-17, Chicago ahead.
Despite hitting the deck on a layup, Maxey did not get a foul call, a recurring theme in his rise to stardom that he and the Sixers would love to see change. He rectified it with a deep triple and went on to get a call on a drive, though he missed both of his foul shots. The Sixers tied the game up after turning an Oubre deflection into a Melton transition triple. Oubre came through with numerous hustle plays, defying the effects of any fatigue from the road trip.
The Sixers started getting some more shots to fall, including a crazy three from Batum where he never dipped the ball below his face and a dicing layup from Maxey. Philly managed to gain brief advantages on the scoreboard but DeRozan always came ready with responses to keep the home team ahead.
Doesn’t even dip below his head!! He may not have a crazy high 3pt volume (in terms of attempts) but he’s such a good shooter pic.twitter.com/UQW1HpqUuv https://t.co/9hjeHAdLaX
— Sam DiGiovanni (@BySamDiGiovanni) December 31, 2023
The Sixers trailed 56-48 at the half.
2nd half
Reed got the half underway with a steal and assist to Maxey on a breakaway layup. The Sixers' activity on defense was very good across the board, keeping them in the game despite ghastly shooting. But although they did a great job generating opportunities in transition, their scoring in the fast break was not at the same superb level. That disparity was extra brutal when coupled with a woefully unproductive half-court offense.
Drummond owning the boards almost entirely played in the Bulls' favor, as his physicality made things tough for Reed in the paint. Third-string center Terry Taylor, who stands at 6-foot-5, was also a strong force on the boards, coming away with offensive rebounds that helped the Bulls score second-chance points. Mo Bamba, despite towering over everyone, was unable to control the boards when Reed sat (which overlapped often with Drummond sitting).
Even with all that and hot shooting from DeRozan and White, the Sixers never trailed by double figures. The fourth quarter began for them with a nine-point deficit.
K.J. Martin saw his first minutes of the game to start the fourth as the Sixers went small with him and Morris in the frontcourt. He made a smart cut to the hoop and flushed a pass from Batum to make it a five-point game. The refusal to say die was palpable for Philly in this game, though it was clear it would take a huge shooting run or cold spell from Chicago to steal this one.
Morris was hit with a technical foul for the classic infraction of arguing with the ref after a bad call. He was hit with a common foul on a play where he was just boxing out Drummond, who ended the game with a whopping 23 rebounds. DeRozan's technical free throw helped the Bulls take their first double-digit lead of the game.
The Bulls built their lead up higher, aided by a three-point heave at the end of the shot clock from Ayo Dosunmu, who was shooting 2-10 at that point. As hard as the Sixers tried, this night was not theirs — and especially without their best player, it was never designed to be. This was a schedule loss through and through, especially with Embiid unable to return. The Sixers posted a season-low in points.
Random rumblings:
- Kate Scott said on the broadcast that Nurse was “cautiously optimistic” that Embiid will return in the Sixers' next game.
- It continues to be a crime that the NBA still does back-to-backs in cities that require plane rides to travel. If they need to keep those as a part of the schedule so badly, they can at least make those games both home games. At least keep them in the same city.
The Sixers have concluded their road trip and, after celebrating the New Year, will be back in action on Tuesday against…the Bulls. | https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-vs-bulls-instant-breakdown-tyrese-maxey | 2024-01-01T03:30:55Z |
Queen Margrethe of Denmark Will Abdicate After 52 Years on the Throne
Shortly after the ringing in of the new year, a new era will begin for the Danish monarch—as Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has announced her abdication.
The monarch, 83, revealed her intention to step down from the throne on Jan. 14 during her annual New Year's Eve speech. The news was also announced on the Danish royal family's website.
"I have decided that now is the right time. On 14 January 2024—52 years after I succeeded my beloved father—I will step down as queen of Denmark," she said during her Dec. 31 speech. "I leave the throne to my son, Crown Prince Frederik."
Queen Margrethe also explained her reasons for abdicating, noting that 52 years of rule "takes its toll, and the number of ailments increases. One cannot undertake as much as one managed in the past."
She continued: "In February this year I underwent extensive back surgery. Everything went well, thanks to the competent health personnel, who took care of me. Inevitably, the operation gave cause to thoughts about the future—whether now would be an appropriate time to pass on the responsibility to the next generation."

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

Astana Opera: Seasons to Suit Every Taste
The Astana Opera Chamber Orchestra will perform under the baton of the Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Maestro Abzal Mukhitdinov. Soloists - Concertmaster of the orchestra Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Bagdat Abilkhanov and Madeniyet Kairatkeri Aisulu Baikenova.
Eight Seasons is a project beloved by the residents and guests of the capital, which includes classical music combined with the rhythms of modern Latin American music and jazz. Both composers - Antonio Vivaldi and Astor Piazzolla - were geniuses and symbols of their era. If Antonio Vivaldi described the seasons of the year in the Baroque style, Astor Piazzolla did it in the style of Argentine tango, the Astana Opera Press Office reports.
"This is a very interesting project, created by Maestro Abzal Mukhitdinov a few years ago. It is a pleasure for us to perform these world classical masterpieces both in Kazakhstan and abroad. I do not know anyone who would not listen to Vivaldi's brilliant work The Four Seasons. We know this music since childhood; it is very light, beautiful and harmonious. I will forever have my childhood memory: on weekends, my mom turned on a vinyl record with this music in the mornings and I woke up happy. Back in those days, famous organist Yevgeniya Lisitsina magnificently performed Vivaldi's masterpiece. There are many arrangements of this work for various instruments, including the dombyra," Bagdat Abilkhanov noted.
Vivaldi's Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons) is considered to be the benchmark of program music. Four concertos: La Primavera (Spring), L'Estate (Summer), L'Autunno (Autumn), L'Inverno (Winter) to this day remain the most performed of the great Venetian's 550 works. In addition, this music is often featured in movies. In the late 1960s, the outstanding Argentinian Astor Piazzolla created a kind of a tribute to this work. Astor Piazzolla's Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires) is a collection of four tango compositions. He managed to turn the ‘folk' tango into high art, into modern classics, while fully retaining its unique exciting energy.
The concert will begin at 17:00. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-opera-seasons-to-suit-every-taste_a3500043/ | 2024-01-01T03:30:56Z |

Expanding on our preview of the 2024 NCAA women's basketball conference play, the stage is set for an exciting second half of the season where powerhouses and emerging contenders alike vie for the title. The South Carolina women's basketball team, with their undefeated streak and a ranking of No. 1 nationally, are a force to reckon with in the SEC. However, could LSU women's basketball take the Gamecocks down?
Meanwhile, Iowa women's basketball and Caitlin Clark continue to sell out games and put on powerhouse performances. The ever-evolving landscape of women's college basketball is full of surprises and potential upsets, making every game a critical chapter in the road to the NCAA Tournament.
South Carolina stays undefeated in the SEC
In the SEC, alongside South Carolina, LSU women's basketball looms as a formidable force. Their roller-coaster season has been marked by highs and lows, but with a record of 13-1, they cannot be underestimated. LSU's January matchup against South Carolina is poised to be a pivotal moment in the conference. We predict LSU women's basketball will make a deep run in the SEC Tournament, but that the Gamecocks will ultimately prevail.
Meanwhile, Tennessee, despite early struggles, could also emerge as a dark horse, particularly if they overcome injury setbacks and find their rhythm in the conference play.
Iowa dominates the Big 10
Iowa women's basketball, led by the phenomenal Caitlin Clark, will not only dominate the Big Ten but also set a new standard for offensive play in the conference. Clark contnues to lead the NCAA in scoring, breaking several conference and national records.
Iowa's dominance will be further solidified as they go undefeated in conference play, including decisive victories over traditional powerhouses like Maryland and Indiana. This historic performance will position Iowa women's basketball as a top contender for the NCAA women's basketball national title, with their high-powered offense being nearly impossible for opponents to counter.
NC State makes deep tournament run
In the ACC, the narrative is equally compelling. NC State, defying expectations, stands undefeated at 12-0. Notre Dame, trailing closely, has shown remarkable resilience and could upset the Wolfpack's aspirations. Duke, Louisville and Florida State add depth to the conference, making the ACC a melting pot of talent and competitive spirit.
However, we predict that NC State will go all the way, or close to it — the Wolfpack will make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, reaching at least the Final Four. Their underdog status will fuel their breakthrough, backed by a robust team chemistry and strategic gameplay.
UCLA wins the Pac-12 title
The Pac-12 is another conference brimming with talent in this NCAA women's basketball season. Stanford, with an 11-1 record, sets the pace, but UCLA, undefeated at 12-0, is ready to challenge the status quo. USC, Utah, and Colorado complete the top five, each capable of making a significant impact in the conference standings.
UCLA, building on their undefeated start, will not only win the Pac-12 regular-season title but also defeat traditional powerhouse Stanford in their regular-season matchup. UCLA’s dynamic offense and improved defense will be key factors in their ascension.
Kansas State upsets the Big 12
The Big 12, known for its competitiveness, presents a unique narrative with teams like Texas and Baylor leading the way, both undefeated. TCU and West Virginia, having entered the AP Top 25, add to the intrigue of the conference. The Big 12 is poised for some of the most competitive matchups, with each game potentially reshaping the conference landscape.
One bold predicition for the Big 12 is an upset of Baylor — despite a strong start, the Bears will face an unexpected challenge from a resurgent Kansas State. Kansas State will pull off major upsets in the conference, including a victory over Baylor, positioning themselves as a dark horse in both the Big 12 and the national picture.
UConn, plagued by injuries, faces challenges
UConn, typically the favorite, will face unusually stiff competition from within the conference, A team like Marquette or Creighton could rise to challenge UConn's dominance as the Huskies struggle with injuries, resulting in one of the most competitive Big East tournaments in recent history.
As these teams clash in their respective conferences, the NCAA women's basketball season is set to be a showcase of talent, strategy, and determination. With every game, the anticipation builds, setting the stage for a tournament filled with dramatic turns and unforgettable moments. This season promises to be a testament to the spirit of collegiate basketball, where legends are born, and stories of triumph and heartbreak unfold on the hardwood. The journey towards the NCAA Tournament is more than just a series of games; it's a narrative of perseverance, skill, and the unyielding pursuit of excellence. | https://clutchpoints.com/south-carolina-undefeated-bold-predictions-ncaa-womens-basketball-conference-play | 2024-01-01T03:31:01Z |
Say What? Find Out the True 'Auld Lang Syne' Meaning and Why We Sing It Every New Year's Eve
We sing "Auld Lang Syne" at the end of every single year, but as Mariah Carey asks in her indelible version, "Does anybody really know the words?" After all, what is the meaning of "Auld Lang Syne"?
"Auld Lang Syne" has its origins in the Scottish language, which explains why so much of it may as well be Greek to most of us. While most people have no idea what they're singing, nor what it means, one fun fact about "Auld Lang Syne" is that nowhere in the original song is the new year mentioned at all. As such, it's commonly performed and played at other celebrations in Scotland, including weddings and graduations—but Scottish New Year's celebrations, called "Hogmanay," is where "Auld Lang Syne" shines brightest.
Guy Lombardo popularized "Auld Lang Syne" in the United States, with broadcasts of his band, the Royal Canadians, playing on the rooftop of New York City's Roosevelt Hotel from 1929 to 1959, then from 1960 to 1976 at the iconic Waldorf Astoria.
Now that you know a little bit about why we sing "Auld Lang Syne" on New Year's Eve, get to know what "Auld Lang Syne" means and how it came to be.

Astana Pro Team ends preparations for new season
A large amount of work performed and "digested" at the training camps in December and January, already paid off at the first race of Astana Pro Team in 2019. Thus, at the Santos Tour Down Under in Australia (the first race of the UCI WorldTour in the season) Luis Leon Sanchez took a solid 4th place in the final general classification. And yesterday, Astana has successfully completed its debut European race Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, where Ion Izagirre became the overall winner, Pello Bilbao took the third place, while Astana Pro Team won the team classification.
But despite this, the preparations for the new season continued even after the end of the winter training camp in Calpe (Spain). To improve the physical condition and lead the athletes to a series of important starts of the first half of the new season, the team organized two high-altitude training camp in Tenerife (one of the Canary Islands, Spain) and in Colombia.
A training camp on Tenerife, in the vicinity of the famous volcano Teide, has always been one of the fundamental in modern professional cycling. Training at an altitude of 2000 meters allows the riders to polish the previously created physical base and ideally bring them to the main start of the year.
"We spent two weeks in Tenerife. The training camp was perfect, without any disruptions related to weather conditions. So, we managed to fully perform the amount of work planned by the trainers. The first days after arrival, we adapted to the altitude, as we were at around 2200 meters above sea level, and then the training cycle went into full force. There were four riders in our group - me, Zhandos Bizhigitov, Jakob Fuglsang and Dario Cataldo. It was very cool and comfortable to train there, we worked at this training camp as hard as possible. I can say that not only we were on Tenerife during this period, there were many other WorldTour teams, all preparing for the season. We often met, for example, Tom Dumoulin and his Team Sunweb; have seen many times our former teammate Vincenzo Nibali with his Bahrain-Merida. I think, this training camp gave a lot, it allowed me to build a good form. Of course, I still need to catch the so-called racing rhythm, but it will come with the first races. Very soon, I will go to Muscat, where the Tour of Oman will begin on February 16th," explained Alexey Lutsenko.
The other part of the team went to Colombia at the end of January, where they also held a two-week training camp before the stage race Tour Colombia 2.1, which starts already tomorrow, on February 12th.
The Columbian training camp was attended by 6 riders: three Colombians of Astana Pro Team, Miguel Angel Lopez, Rodrigo Contreras and Hernando Bourkes and Nikita Stalnov, Jan Hirt and Davide Villella. During this camp, the leader of the Kazakh team Miguel Angel Lopez managed to win the silver medal in the individual time trial of the Colombian National Championships, demonstrating he is ready for the season.
"Our training camp went very well. For me, it was a new experience, because we lived at a high altitude, above 2500 meters above sea level, and trained at the marks of 3000 meters. This is a completely different experience and completely different physical work, which can not be compared even with Tenerife. After a week, which went on adaptation, I began to feel much better, entered the working rhythm, felt that the form is on the rise. During the training camp we carried out a large amount of work, both power and intensive. We worked on the team time trial as well. Our coach Aritz Arberas has made a great plan, which we have fully implemented. The team had a great atmosphere, our Colombian riders met us at the airport in Bogota, every day they came up with interesting routes for training, showed us different places. All the time we felt increased attention to our team, which is well known here. Every other passing car stopped to take photos or videos with us. When we stopped for a short rest, a crowd of fans gathered around us. Of course, Miguel Angel is a big star here. After the camp I feel like I am ready for the season, but I still can't accurately assess my form, because of the altitude the feeling is quite different. We will see how the Tour of Colombia will go, but we are going there with serious ambitions," said Nikita Stalnov. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-pro-team-ends-preparations-for-new-season_a3497596/ | 2024-01-01T03:31:03Z |

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

With Victor Wembanyama returning, Zach Collins is ruled out. And with that, a set rotation earlier in the season for the San Antonio Spurs is now in flux.
After suffering what the team calls a right ankle sprain in Friday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, Collins won't play New Year's Eve vs. the Boston Celtics, according to the Spurs' injury report. Wembanyama missed Friday's contest as the team takes caution with his right ankle as well as an overall minutes restriction. The team lost reserve big man Charles Bassey for the season earlier in the month.
Wemby back
The official reason the Spurs gave for Wembanyama's absence on Friday was ‘rest.'
Following a loss to the Utah Jazz earlier in the week, coach Gregg Popovich stated he didn't think Wemby “looked one hundred percent” in the top overall pick's first game since re-spraining his right ankle on a ball boy's foot in that freak pregame incident in Dallas the night before Christmas Eve. In the same postgame interview session, Pop said the 19-year-old star would not play both games of consecutive nights in Portland.
Wemby made the most of that one game vs. the Blazers with a 30-point, 7-block, 6-rebound, 6-assist performance that gave the French phenom another stat line that registered historically. In becoming the first-ever teenager and the first NBA player to record those numbers inside of 25 minutes since Julius Erving, Wembanyama led the Spurs to just their second win since Nov. 3.
Collins out
Collins missed the remainder of Friday's 134-128 loss after suffering a right ankle sprain. The 6'11 center was enjoying one of his best games of the season in returning to the city where he played the first three seasons of his NBA career. In just 18 minutes, he scored 17 points, making 8-of-10 shots. He was on track to eclipse a season-high 28-point effort against the Sacramento Kings in mid-November.
“It's always hard when a guy like Zach goes down. We lost some rim protection there,” Spurs veteran Doug McDermott said.
Following the game, Popovich insinuated the injury may not prove of long-term significance.
Bassey already out
The Spurs' first injury to a big man this season came when the player who was usually the first center off the bench, Charles Bassey, was lost for the season with a torn ACL suffered in a mid-December G League game. Though not a true center, 6'9 Sandro Mamukelashvili has seen more minutes as a result. Also at 6'9, Dominick Barlow is on the roster. Both played in Friday's loss.
“Dom (Barlow) was aggressive. Given more and more (minutes), I think he's just getting better and better, more aggressive and finishing around the paint. I've seen him finish and play and I've seen how he is. We've just got to instill confidence in him,” Spurs second-leading scorer Devin Vassell said. “Mamu (Sandro Mamukelashvili) as well. He gives us great energy, great effort and so we've just got to keep rewarding him for that.”
“I though both of those guys were ready, Dom and Sandro. I thought they gave us great minutes,” McDermott repeated.

Astana Pro Team scores first seasonal victory
Besides, the Kazakh team won the final team classification of the Spanish race.
- I am super happy with this victory, but I have to say that this is team's success, not only mine. We rode this race very well as a team and in every moment I had a great support from my teammates. We've got almost maximum in this race with my victory, a third place of Pello Bilbao and a win in team classification. Fantastic! I started this season with a goal to win at least one race and already here in Valencia I've got it. It is something special for me to win in Astana jersey, I am proud of it! - said Ion Izagirre.
- I think, this is the best way to start the new season. I am happy with my result and, of course, I am happy for Ion Izagirre and his victory. My result in this race proves that I worked really well during the off-season. With the team we had two very productive training camps in December and January, where a huge amount of work has been done together with our trainers and bike engineers. Now, at the Volta Valenciana we see how all this work pays off. After this strong start of the season I am looking forward to continue improving in the next races, - said Pello Bilbao.
- It is a well-deserved victory for our team. We have spent a very strong week here in Valencia and the team showed a solid performance. We saw many high-level rivals in this race, so, this fact makes this victory even more prestigious. Today's stage was a bit nervous because of the wind, high pace and crash in the end, but we managed to pass it through without any problem. I am happy with our result in this race and want to congratulate all the team! - said Dmitri Sedoun, sports director of Astana Pro Team.
The last, 5th stage of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana of just 88 km, despite a crash inside the final kilometer, ended with a much-expected sprint on the streets of Valencia. The Dutch rider Dylan Groenewegen won the stage ahead of Alexander Kristoff and Matteo Trentin. Astana's Magnus Cort finished 15th.
The final podium of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana: 1. Ion Izagirre, 2. Alejandro Valverde (+0.07), 3. Pello Bilbao (+0.07).

The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be without their starting quarterback for a key Week 17 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Kenny Pickett is inactive for Sunday's game with Seattle, per NFL Network. Mitch Trubisky is expected to be the backup quarterback in the game, behind Mason Rudolph.
The Steelers are entering the game against Seattle with an 8-7 record, and are in a must-win situation. The Steelers' offense has struggled throughout the year and it has caused the team to lose some disappointing games in recent weeks, including defeats to the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals. Both of those teams have losing records.
Kenny Pickett has battled injuries this season, which have left him out for several games. The Steelers had thought Mitch Trubisky would be his replacement, but he wasn't able to lead the offense. Mason Rudolph had success in a Week 16 victory for the Steelers over the Bengals, putting up 290 passing yards and two touchdowns in a 34-11 win for Pittsburgh.
There's hope that the Steelers could still get Pickett at some point. He's currently nursing an injured ankle and had been listed as questionable earlier in the week. But getting Pickett back means nothing if the Steelers don't win on Sunday, as their slim playoff hopes would be absolutely demolished. The Steelers need to win out but also need help from other teams if they are going to get into the AFC playoffs this season.
The Seahawks enter the game at 8-7, also needing a win to keep playoff hopes alive. The Steelers and Seahawks kick off at 4:05 Eastern. | https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-kenny-pickett-inactive-for-week-17-vs-seahawks | 2024-01-01T03:31:14Z |
Astana Pro Team secures double victory in Spain
"I am very happy with my win. Our team lives a very nice moment now at the start of the season and I am happy to bring the team the 6th GC victory in a row. I was able to come in a good shape to the start of the year and I felt very well during this week. But, also, I can say that this is the team's win, the team's success. Today's victory brings me additional confidence in myself and proves I worked in a right direction during the winter. We are still in the early period of the season and all the big goals are still lying ahead. But, we are on the right way to it," said Jakob Fuglsang.
"It could not be better in this race, we were strong, we races well together, we had one goal and we achieved it. I am happy with team's success and with Jakob's victory. Also, it is good for me to be on the final podium. I feel on form at the beginning of the season and I will continue to improve for my next goals," added Ion Izagirre.
The Vuelta a Andalucia 2019 has been ended with the final, 5th stage of 163,9 km to Alhaurín de la Torre. It finished with a bunch sprint won by the European champion Matteo Trentin. The stage did not provide any changes in the general classification, so after moving yesterday into the race lead, today Jakob Fuglsang was officially named as the 2019 Vuelta a Andalucia winner with Ion Izagirre, who also won the prix as the best Spanish rider of the race, next to him at the second place.

Young Eagles Fan Dressed Up in Legendary Jason Kelce Costume, and Everyone Loved It
This young Philadelphia Eagles fan clearly knew how to end 2023 on a high note.
Beloved Eagles center Jason Kelce endeared himself even more to the city of Philadelphia—if that was even possible—after the team’s Super Bowl win during the 2017 season when he donned a Mummers outfit for the Super Bowl parade. The ensemble is a form of colorful garb traditionally worn during the annual New Year’s Day parade in the City of Brotherly Love.
Well, one young Eagles fan decided to recreate Kelce's legendary Mummers outfit before the team's contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Fans absolutely loved it.
This young fan dressed up as @JasonKelce 👏 pic.twitter.com/7M2tQ2RFXI

Another NFL fan posted a message on X, formerly Twitter, requesting that the New Heights podcast, hosted by Kelce and his brother Travis, discuss this Eagles fan's brilliant costume.
@newheightshow this has to be talked about!! 🤩
— Lacee Amos (@LaceeAmos) December 31, 2023
It's too bad that Kelce wasn't in his Mummers outfit, as he and the young fan would have been nearly identical, aside from the obvious size difference.
Here's hoping that Kelce, whether it's during his postgame media availability or an episode of his podcast, will find a way to shout out this fan for his amazing costume.

Phoenix Suns look to continue their two-game winning streak versus the Orlando Magic on New Year's Eve.
The Suns, who are 16-15 and eighth in the Western Conference, scored 129 and 133 points, respectively, in each of those wins against the Houston Rockets and Charlotte Hornets.
Phoenix had Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal on the floor for just the second time this season Friday against Charlotte. The Suns have an offensive rating of 137.1, including 64.2 percent shooting from two and 40 percent from three with those three in lineups.
“My hope is that our early struggles will be a distant memory in six weeks, two months, three months, that we balance some injuries while we’re trying to build cohesion,” Vogel said. “Hopefully, we have a stretch where we can have those three guys out there together and the role players as well and if we can do that, we have an opportunity to gel and build that cohesion we’ve been looking for and if we have that, then we have a chance to really take off.
“This is one win, but we have a six game homestand and we are 1-0 and now we got to get the next one.”
Phoenix is playing the Magic, which have been the most improved team in the NBA. Orlando is 19-12, good for fourth in the Western Conference.
The Suns employ a three-guard rotation typically and will be tested by the length of the Magic, who have 6-foot-10 former NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero, 6-foot-10 Franz Wagner, who is one of the betting favorites for Most Improved Player, and 6-foot-11 Goga Bitadze.
Phoenix is without wing Nassir Little but will have guard Josh Okogie, who is expected to provide wing depth but may not be able to do enough against the Magic's size.
Here’s what Frank Vogel said about Orlando’s physicality and how the #Suns are planning to match up: pic.twitter.com/NjDXVBOHNp
— Trevor Booth (@TrevorMBooth) December 31, 2023
“Their size is a concern, especially with how they defend,” Vogel said.
The Suns, who are playing their third game in the Big 3 era, will start guard Grayson Allen, so Phoenix is looking to rely on its shooting to compete against Orlando's length. The Suns have not played wings Keita Bates-Diop (6-foot-8) or Yuta Watanabe (6-foot-9) recently but could use them in this game. Wing/forward Chimezie Metu is likely to play extended minutes and the Suns will choose between center Udoka Azubuike, who is emerging above forward Drew Eubanks as the backup five.
“We got to make sure we have the appropriate level of shooting out there and that we trust the pass and that we have enough size to rebound the basketball against them because they are huge at all positions, especially if (Markelle) Fultz does not play. Those lineups they throw out there are really long so it’s a big concern.” | https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-frank-vogel-espn-magic | 2024-01-01T03:31:20Z |

Astana Pro Team wins Vuelta Ciclista a Murcia
Luis Leon Sanchez took stage 2 win as well as became the overall winner of the race, taking also the point classification. Yesterday's stage winner Pello Bilbao stepped on the third place of the final podium, while Jakob Fuglsang won the jersey of the best climber. Astana Pro Team won the final team classification.
The second stage of the Vuelta Ciclista a Murcia started in Beniel and finished in the city center of Murcia. The stage was characterized by two hard climbs: Alto Collado Bermejo (7.2 km, 7.1%) more or less in the middle of the distance and Alto de la Cresta del Gallo (4.4 km, 6.5%), a short but very steep climb with only 12 km to the finish line.
It was the reigned world champion Alejandro Valverde, who launched an attack on the steep slopes of Alto de la Cresta del Gallo and only Luis Leon Sanchez could answer to this move. On the top of the climb Valverde has got a small gap, but later the Astana rider was able to close it, joining the world champion in front of the race for the last few kilometers. In the sprint, Luis Leon Sanchez took a very beautiful victory, outsprinting Valverde and taking the final win in the general classification of the Vuelta Ciclista a Murcia.
Pello Bilbao, who finished 5th in this stage, completed the final podium with third place. Also, Omar Fraile and Jakob Fuglsang finished 5th and 6th in the overall classification.
Besides, Luis Leon Sanchez won the point classification and Jakob Fuglsang won the king of mountain jersey, while Astana won the team classification of the race. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-pro-team-wins-vuelta-ciclista-a-murcia_a3499045/ | 2024-01-01T03:31:24Z |
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant in the last two games has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 27-to-4.
Durant, who had 18 combined turnovers in three straight games from Dec. 19 through Dec. 25, took accountability for those errors.
“I think that's holding the team back, me turning the ball over,” Durant said.
Durant since has been the Suns' most effective passer.
Wednesday in Phoenix's 129-113 win over the Houston Rockets, Durant tied a career-high 16 assists. He recorded his 20th career triple-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds.
“It sucks losing,” Durant said then.
“…Just getting a win, sometimes you can take that for granted. So I'm excited about the W [Wednesday].”
The Suns, who are 16-15 and eighth place in the West, are going to benefit from Durant, guard Devin Booker and guard Bradley Beal, who returned from his right ankle sprain in the Suns' 133-119 win over the Charlotte Hornets Friday, to be at their best.
Durant on Friday finished with 11 assists against one turnover.
“That's just what I'm supposed to do,” said Durant.
Durant, Booker and Beal combined for 25 assists, showcasing the multiple ball-handler system coach Frank Vogel and others spoke about during the preseason.

— Trevor Booth (@TrevorMBooth) December 30, 2023
“I think for our whole team, we're all moving the ball,” Durant said. “It might be a five-assist night for (guard) Grayson (Allen) one night or a seven-assist night for (guard) [Eric Gordon] or (guard) Saben [Lee]. Who knows? (Center) [Jusuf Nurkic].
“We make it unpredictable when it comes to moving the ball or who's initiating the offense. I think we'll be an unpredictable team to stop. That's really what great offenses in this league do, they switch attacks so many times. So we try to be that type of team.”
Booker, Beal and Durant have an offensive rating of 137.1 in 44 minutes together. They shoot 64.2 percent from the field and 40 percent from three in lineups as a trio.
The Suns on Sunday and New Year's Eve have a challenging opponent, the Orlando Magic. Durant previewed the challenges Orlando will bring.
“Long, athletic team that can cause so many problems for an offense,” Durant said, “…using their length to get out, getting turnovers. We got to protect the ball, we got our work cut out for us [Sunday].” | https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-kevin-durant-assists | 2024-01-01T03:31:26Z |

On the last day of the year, celebrities tend to share collages of their “best moments” in pictures on social media. On December 31, 2023, Hollywood star Jennifer Love Hewitt (9-1-1, Criminal Minds, Ghost Whisperer, The Client List, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Party of Five) posted just one photo.
As seen below, Hewitt shared a closeup makeup-free selfie and wrote a heartfelt message.
The 44-year-old brunette beauty wrote: “This year I went thru a lot no one knew about. And was grateful for that privacy.”
Hewitt reports that she spent more time at home with her husband of ten years, actor Brian Hallisay, and their three kids, learned to be a better baker, did a lot of praying, belly laughed, and “had the longest cold of my life,” among other things.
Hewitt admits in 2023 that she was “forced to have more faith than normal” and “sat deeper in grief and was able to let more go,” and “said goodbye to things that don’t serve positivity in my life and made room for lots of good things in 2024.”
Get ready to see more of Love: she is reprising her role as the recently engaged 9-1-1 operator Maddie Buckley on Season 7 of 9-1-1 which will premiere on Thursday, March 14, 2024 at 8 pm ET on ABC (the drama was originally on FOX).

Chiefs lock up No. 3 seed in AFC playoffs after win over Bengals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - With a 25-17 win over the Bengals to wrap up 2023, the Chiefs have secured the No. 3 seed in the AFC postseason.
Regardless of what happens across in the NFL in week 18 or Kansas City’s game at the Los Angeles Chargers, the Chiefs will host at least one home playoff game at Arrowhead in the third spot.
Chiefs Kingdom will however have to wait to find out which AFC opponent will come to town for the NFL’s Wild Card weekend.
If Buffalo beats Miami, the Dolphins are coming to Arrowhead, regardless of any other results.
If the Dolphins beat the Bills, then Kansas City could host any of Buffalo, Indianapolis, Houston or Pittsburgh.
Unofficial scenarios are below:
Bills win-
- MIA at KC
Dolphins win-
- PIT, IND, JAX win - IND at KC
- PIT, HOU, JAX win - HOU at KC
- PIT, IND, TEN, win - PIT at KC
- PIT, HOU, TEN win - PIT at KC
- BAL, IND, JAX win - IND at KC
- BAL, HOU, JAX win - HOU at KC
- BAL, IND, TEN win - BUF at KC
- BAL, HOU, TEN win - BUF at KC
The Chiefs beat Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins earlier this year in Frankfurt, Germany, while Josh Allen and the Bills did beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead in December.
However, Kansas City has won the last two playoff games against Buffalo.
In beating Cincinnati, the Chiefs clinched a ninth straight trip to the postseason, the second-longest streak in NFL history. It also marks eigh straight division titles, also the second-longest streak in NFL history. Along with nine straight 10-win seasons, the third-longest streak in NFL history.
The NFL’s winningest franchise over the last 11 years has also now scored in a franchise record 180 consecutive games, dating back to 2012.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has now thrown for 4,000 yards in six consecutive seasons. That’s tied for the fifth-longest streak in NFL history, and 10th most over an entire QB career.
On Sunday, running back Isiah Pacheco ran for a single-game career-high 130 yards on just 18 carries, along with 35 more receiving yards and a touchdown. Rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice also turned in a single-game career-high in receiving yards with 127 on five receptions, headlined by a 67-yard catch, Kansas City’s longest of the season.
Harrison Butker, the second-most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history, made a career-high six field goals in the victory.
The Chiefs defense turned in six sacks, with five coming in the final six minutes of gameplay, while Kansas City moves to 8-0 this season when scoring 21 points or more.

Quo Vadis
Dec 25, 2023
In this video we share Our Lady's Medjugorje Message to Visionary Jakov Colo for December 25, 2023.
Please like, share, comment and subscribe to assist my channel in sharing these videos with a wider audience.
Thank you!
The following are Our Lady's words to Jakov:
"Dear Children, today with my Son in my arm, I want to invite you all to pray to little Jesus for the healing of your heart.
Children, often sin reigns in your hearts that destroys your life and you cannot feel God's presence, so today, on this day when grace spreads throughout the world, surrender your life and your heart to the Lord so that the Lord will heal them with His grace.
Only with a pure heart will you be able to experience the rebirth of Jesus in you and the light of His birth will illuminate your life.
I will bless you with my motherly blessing.
Thank you for answering my call!"
Medjugorje visionary Jakov Colo had daily apparitions from June 25, 1981 to September 12, 1998.
During his trip to America, from Miami, Jakov sent us the following text:
“On Friday, September 11, during the daily apparition, Our Lady told me to prepare me in prayer especially for the apparition of the following day, because she would be entrusting me with the tenth secret.
On Saturday, September 12, Our Lady came at 11:15 in the morning.
When she came she greeted me as always with the greeting: "Praised be Jesus Christ".
As she entrusted me with the tenth secret, she was sad.
Then, with a sweet smile, she said to me:
“Dear child! I am your mother and I love you unconditionally.
From today, I will not be appearing to you every day, but only on Christmas, the birthday of my Son.
Do not be sad, because as a mother, I will always be with you and like every true mother, I will never leave you.
And you continue further to follow the way of my Son, the way of peace and love and try to persevere in the mission that I have confided to you.
Be an example of that man who has known God and God's love.
Let people always see in you an example of how God acts on people and how God acts through them.
I bless you with my motherly blessing and I thank you for having responded to my call.”
There will be two messages that will be disseminated on the holy day of Christmas, in addition to the annual message of December 25th to visionary Jakov Colo, Our Lady will also appear to visionary Maria for the monthly message of the 25th of the month.
Thank you for supporting my channel.
May God bless you and keep you!
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, pray for us!

ASTANA. KAZINFORM - Astana Pro Team is ready for the next challenge at the 2.HC stage race Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol, which will be held in Spain from February 20th to 24th, Kazinform has learnt from the team's press service.
Team's roster will consist of Pello Bilbao, Dario Cataldo, Jakob Fuglsang, Laurens De Vreese, Ion Izagirre, Luis Leon Sanchez and Andrey Zeits.
Bruno Cenghialta and Giuseppe Martinelli will serve as sports directors in race. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-reveals-roster-for-vuelta-a-andalucia-ruta-ciclista-del-sol-2019_a3499566/ | 2024-01-01T03:31:31Z |
Taylor Swift has had a great 2023. And to wrap things up, she's just passed Elvis Presley for the record of most weeks at number one on album charts for a solo artist.
This is all thanks to her album 1989 (Taylor Version), which gave her 68 weeks on top of the album chart and passed Elvis Presley, Deadline reports. The Billboard 200 chart counts 1,250 streams through a paid subscription service to one album unit. It also counts 3,750 streams through ad-supported streaming service to one album unit.
Taylor Swift beats Elvis Presley for number one spot
She's in good company. The Beatles have close to double that number, USA Today mentions, with spending 132 weeks at number one on Billboard. However, they're a band and not a solo artist. Y! Entertainment states other contenders for the solo spot include Garth Brookes (52 weeks), Michael Jackson (51 weeks), Whitney Houston (46 weeks), Adele (40 weeks), and Elton John (39 weeks).
As for her and Elvis, beyond selling records, they have another connection — Tennessee. The King of Rock and Roll lived in Graceland. Meanwhile, Swift started in Nashville and attended high school in Hendersonville.
2024 is shaping up to be another busy one for Swift. When she's not attending Kansas City Chief's games, she's probably focused on her “Eras Tour.” She'll be on the road again with it in Tokyo, Japan, on February 7. This time around, she's set to perform 86 shows in the upcoming year.
Beyond that, she has two records to rerelease. This includes Reputation (Taylor's Version) and her self-titled album.
If only Elvis Presley were still alive, surely a Taylor Swift duet album with him would hit chart records that were out of this world. | https://clutchpoints.com/taylor-swift-scores-impressive-milestone-over-elvis | 2024-01-01T03:31:32Z |

Astana's Ion Izagirre second at Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana
It was a short but hard start of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, as the riders faced an ITT of 10,3 kilometers through the streets of Orihuela, Spain. Especially the final 700 meters uphill were decisive for the classification. Pello Bilbao performed well, finishing in the second provisional time (13'07").
- It's the best way to start the season, with two riders in the top 10 today. We can be proud, it's a result of all the work and tests we did at the training camp. All of our partners contributed to this result, as they're also working on developing their products that we use. Our new engineer, Ivan Velasco, helped us a lot in improving our TT skills. It was a weak point of our team last season, but I think we can be proud of our work on this. We're in a good position for the overall and we will be concentrated until stage 4, where the GC will be decided, - said Pello Bilbao.
In the end, it was Ion Izagirre who came close to the stage victory, as he finished just 5 seconds behind winner Edvald Boasson Hagen (13'00"). It means the second place for Izagirre in his debut race for Astana Pro Team.
- I had a good feeling during the day. It was my first race for Astana and I'm happy with it. I did a lot of work during the winter, trained hard, we worked very well at the training camps, on the TT position as well. So today I felt good and I think I did a good TT. The first part was very fast while the climb was the place to make the difference. I took a good second place, it is a nice result for me and the team at the start of the season. I think with this result I proved I'm ready to fight for the GC in this race,- said Ion Izagirre.
Stage 2 will start and finish in Alicante after 166 kilometers including three categorized climbs, the final climb on 42 kilometers before the finish.

Bandai Namco's highly-anticipated fighting game, Tekken 8, with its release date this January 24, 2024, has been all the hype for fighting game aficionados. While everyone is enjoying the Tekken 8 Demo (with some utilizing the Cheat Engine to unlock several other characters) before the release of Tekken 8's full game, people have been wondering whether or not the Tekken 8 Demo Save File will carry over to the Tekken 8 Full Game. If you are worried about your progress with those four officially pre-released characters in the five different game modes that are currently available to play with, we let you in on the answer in this article.
Tekken 8 and What We Know Now
Before the Tekken 8 release date, we were presented with the roster being announced every once in a while together with a gameplay preview of how their playstyle is in the coming expansion of the franchise.
Official Roster of Playable Characters in Tekken 8
There are a total of 32 unique fighters that comprise both new and returning characters with the most notable ones as Jun Kazama and Azucena Ortiz. Fan favorites like Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Alisa Bosconovitch, Paul Phoenix, and Nina Williams all return to the game as well. In case you missed it, we listed all the Tekken 8 characters that complete the roster for the Tekken 8 game:
- Asuka Kazama
- Azucena
- Bryan Fury
- Claudio Serafino
- Devil Jin
- Devil Kazuya
- Emilie De Rochefort
- Hwoarang
- Jack-8
- Jin Kazama
- Jun Kazama
- Kazuya Mishima
- King
- Lars Alexandersson
- Leroy Smith
- Ling Xiaoyu
- Marshall Law
- Nina Williams
- Paul Phoenix
- Raven
- Kuma/Panda
- Steve Fox
- Dragunov
- Shaheen
- Leo
- Yoshimitsu
- Feng
- Zafina
- Alisa Bosconovich
- Lee Chaolan
- Victor Chevalier
- Reina
This makes up the official roster of Tekken 8 with Heihachi Mishima missing out for the first time in years. His character is told to be dead after being beaten by his son, Kazuya Mishima, and thrown down into a volcano.
Gameplay and Graphics
The Tekken franchise has been popular in the fighting game genre for quite several years already. Tekken 8 in particular, is focused on playing the game as aggressively as possible with the introduction of the Heat System and how comebacks are now more possible than ever. The new Heat System not only offers chip damage but offers more variety of expanded move sets as well as character properties. During this state, players can initiate Heat Smash moves that emphasize offensive moves even further. There will be a timer for the Heat State but can be halted when using certain moves. If opponents guard against your character during Heat State, they will be inflicted with chip damage, this encourages players to stay on the offensive for recoverable health.
The game utilizes the powerful Unreal Engine 5 which helps Tekken 8 deliver the most stunning graphics and immersive gameplay to date. There are currently three different stages that you can preview from the Tekken 8 Demo:
- Urban Square (Evening)
- Yakushima
- Sanctum
From what we have gotten from the first Tekken game to the latest one that is coming to the PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox, we are bound to see amazing development and an enhanced gameplay experience.
Confirmed Game Modes to date
As of writing, what we know about the confirmed Game Modes is coming from the Tekken 8 Demo. There is a total of five various Game Modes that you can play to fully kickstart the experience and ramp up the anticipation until the Tekken 8 Full Game Official Release Date:
- Story: The Dark Awakens – Lets you play through the first chapter of Tekken 8's story mode.
- Arcade Quest – Progress through an exciting story set in game arcades with you as the main character while learning about the basics of battle in Tekken 8.
- Super Ghost Battle – This particular game mode unlocks after players have successfully finished clearing the Arcade Quest.
- Player vs Player – Go up against a human opponent via another controller in a standard offline versus match.
- Player vs CPU – Go up against a computer in a standard offline versus match.
- Gallery – See and appreciate the collection of artwork and assets that can be seen in Tekken 8.
Does the Tekken 8 Save File Carry to the Tekken 8 Full Game?
As much as you want, you can try and progress your four characters (Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Nina Williams, and Paul Phoenix) in Tekken 8. Unfortunately, none of the saved data will be ported or carried over from the Tekken 8 Demo to the Tekken 8 Full Game. While this seems like a sad thought, Bandai Namco makes it clear that everyone who will be playing the game will have equal footing when it comes to the Tekken 8 release date and the full game goes live. Perhaps, this is also their way of saying that you shouldn't be too attached to the demo version of the game.

Taylor Swift cheered on her boyfriend Travis Kelce for wearing an item of clothing that had numerous personal appeals.
During Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which is the final game of the regular season, the Lavender Haze singer, who just broke Elvis Presley’s record for most weeks at No. 1 as a solo artist with 1989 (Taylor’s Version) – He was sporting a new jacket with a very interesting touch.
Taylor, 34, was wearing a replica of the Chiefs jacket, the same one worn by Travis, also 34, on game day.
There was one major difference in the Cruel Summer hitmaker’s jacket. Tay-Tay, which is Travis’ nickname for him, was sewn into it.
Swifties went crazy over this on social media, noting that they’re happy she adopted the nickname the fanbase gave her.
Taylor Swift showed up to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Cincinnati Bengals wearing a replica of a Chiefs jacket with the NFL star’s nickname for her, Tay-Tay, sewn onto it.
The couple’s twinning sent fans into meltdown as the love story between the pop superstar and the football tight end goes from strength to strength.
One fan in the Swifties 2.0 Facebook group commented: “I’m so glad he accepts the nicknames the swifties give him,” while another responded saying: “it’s Travis’ nickname for him, he slipped it in an interview or on his podcast “. .’
On a November episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, 36, the tight end, Jason congratulated him on reaching an NFL record 11,000 receiving yards and being the only Chiefs player to do so in the team history.
Jason, who is the center for the Philadelphia Eagles, noted that the All Too Well singer liked a post from the Kansas City Chiefs praising his achievement.
‘Okay now. Thanks, Tay,” Travis said. “I appreciate the support of him on the Chiefs page.”
While several fans called it the Wag jacket or thought it was Travis’ jacket, several pointed out that the Travis jacket would be huge on the Maroon singer and the jacket she was wearing fit her perfectly.
On TikTok, Swifties were also excited about the new jacket, speculating that it was their Christmas gift from Travis.
One fan humorously commented: ‘Travis’ Custom Chiefs Jacket (Tay Tay’s Version)’, referencing the albums the Love Story singer has been re-recording and calling Taylor’s Version.
Another fan noted, “Trav mentioned on a podcast that he LOVES varsity jackets, so this is probably the cutest gift ever.”
Someone else aptly pointed out what we’re all feeling: ‘OMG this just keeps getting CUTTER.’
On TikTok, Swifties were also excited about the new jacket, speculating that it was their Christmas gift from Travis.
One fan noted, “Trav mentioned on a podcast that he LOVES varsity jackets, so this is probably the cutest gift ever,” while others were thrilled that Kelce adopted the nickname.
Taylor had a lot to smile about on Sunday: The Chiefs won the game and she’ll ring in the New Year at a party at Travis’ mansion.
On X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were equally excited. One wrote, “Couples goal,” while another joked, “HS prom king and queen vibes are undefeated.”
‘LAUGHING AND KICKING MY FEET SO HARD RN,’ another Swiftie happily posted.
Taylor attended the game from the VIP box with Travis’ parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes.
Sunday’s game was a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship game and the ninth game of the season the Mirrorball singer attended to watch her boyfriend play. | https://en.cedarnews.net/82773/task/taylor-swift-has-the-nickname-travis-kelce-stitched-onto-a-replica-of-her-kansas-city-chiefs-jacket-as-she-attends-her-final-game-of-2023/ | 2024-01-01T03:31:42Z |
Bandai Namco's latest game in the Tekken franchise, Tekken 8, has rolled out its demo version, and while this is but a preview of what's to come on the release date this late January 2024, there is a way to unlock more characters for the game. There are several modes that fans of the Tekken 8 franchise can enjoy including four familiar playable characters as well as three different stages that they can already preview. In this article, we let you know how to add more people to your demo but be cautious as we don't know if this affects your game later on in the foreseeable future.
Tekken 8 Demo Details
PlayStation, PC, and Xbox users can now enjoy the Tekken 8 demo that was released this December. This gives a preview of what is to come for the Tekken 8 game as it nears its release date next month. This includes 5 different game modes such as:
- Story: The Dark Awakens – Lets you play through the first chapter of Tekken 8's story mode.
- Arcade Quest – Progress through an exciting story set in game arcades with you as the main character while learning about the basics of battle in Tekken 8.
- Super Ghost Battle – This particular game mode unlocks after players have successfully finished clearing the Arcade Quest.
- Player vs Player – Go up against a human opponent via another controller in a standard offline versus match.
- Player vs CPU – Go up against a computer in a standard offline versus match.
- Gallery – See and appreciate the collection of artwork and assets that can be seen in Tekken 8.
While playing these five different game modes, you will be rotated within three various stages:
- Urban Square (Evening)
- Yakushima
- Sanctum
As you get a grasp of what it is to play Tekken's latest franchise, Tekken 8, you can play either as one of the familiar and popular characters from the Tekken franchise such as:
- Paul Phoenix
- Jin Kazama
- Kazuya Mishima
- Nina Williams
How to Unlock All Characters in Tekken 8
Now that we all know what the Tekken 8 Demo has available for everyone, we let you in on what we know about Tekken 8 and unlocking characters that are not yet officially available in the game. On the r/Tekken subreddit, there has been a discussion that 4chan online community members have successfully managed to unlock new characters in the demo of Tekken 8's PC version with the help of a tool called “Cheat Engine”. This tool will run a script and help you unlock 12 new playable characters such as:
- Ling Xiaoyu
- Azucena Ortiz
- Shaheen
- Marshall Law
- Panda
- Asuka Kazama
- Feng Wei
- Alisa Bosconovitch
- Jun Kazama
- Jack
- King
- Steve Fox
The Tekken 8 demo, for those who are enjoying the game via PC, have been seeing exploits of being able to find ways to unlock even more characters like Hwoarang, Lars Alexandersson, and Devil Jin (though while trying to use Devil Jin, the game often crashes). The usage of Cheat Engine makes it all possible but fans are divided on whether they should try and do this as it might potentially be scarring for them when the official game comes out. Concerns about ethical and legal implications as well as risks of getting banned are a huge part of this discussion hence fans stay on the morally right side of the fence.
For you to successfully unlock the different characters in Tekken 8, you will need to utilize the Cheat Engine. Run the script that allows you to unlock several more characters in the game and you get to play as any of these 12 other playable characters in the game. Take note that you will need to find and download the script for yourself and that you need to be careful to not break your computer in the process. ClutchPoints Gaming will not be held liable if anything happens to your PC.
Do you think this is just a ploy to get more buzz around the game? How do you think this will affect the game and community as a whole? Take note that whatever progress you make in the Tekken 8 demo will not be ported over to the official game to give everyone a fair advantage for those who opted to wait until the Tekken 8 release date.

Astana's leaders finish in main group on Vuelta a Andalucia stage 2
All Astana Pro Team leaders finished safely in the main group. The stage did not impact much the general classification: yesterday winner Tim Wellens still leads the race, Astana's Jakob Fuglsang is second (+0.05), Ion Izagirre is 4th (+0.05), Pello Bilbao is 8th (+0.09).
"It was a very long day in the saddle, but, we finished it without problem. In the final I just tried to stay in front, keeping myself out of any trouble. The sprint was a bit chaotic since no one team could do a perfect lead-out because the last straight was in a small uphill. So, it was a bit nervous, but, finally, we all finished safety," said Jakob Fuglsang.
Stage 3 will be held tomorrow: it will be a 16.2-km-long individual time trial from Mancha Real to La Guardia de Jaén. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-s-leaders-finish-in-main-group-on-vuelta-a-andalucia-stage-2_a3500997/ | 2024-01-01T03:31:45Z |

WhatsNew2Day – Latest News And Breaking Headlines
Australia’s Crown Princess Mary will become Queen of Denmark on January 14, and there were some subtle signs that the popular royal was about to become Australia’s first monarch.
Queen Margaret II used her annual New Year’s Eve speech on Sunday to announce she would abdicate the throne, leaving Prince Frederick, 55, as her successor and Mary, 51, as queen consort.
The 83-year-old monarch, famous for her chain smoking and extravagant sense of style, had been Europe’s longest-serving monarch following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
This may have been the reason why Mary went on a low-key, almost secret vacation to Australia and New Zealand with her family in early December.
On December 6, Mary landed in Australia with her twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, both 12, before climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge together.
The trip was also used to point out that Maria and Federico were very close, after rumors about the prince’s alleged “affair” with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova rocked the royal family.
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark will be the next Danish queen and there were some subtle hints that the popular royal’s role was about to change.
Princess Mary then took a private jet to Queensland, where she joined Frederik and Princess Isabella, 16, for a much-needed escape from the spotlight.
Frederik had been at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai, where he attended the opening of the SIDS Conference: A Just and Equitable Energy Transition to a Climate Resilient Future, speaking at How to Decarbonize Hard-to-Sector Sectors despond and attended a Danish reception.
Mary’s previous visit to Australia was in 2023 for her first official engagement in a decade.
However, this time the Tasmanian-born royal kept things personal and made sure to catch up with family and friends away from prying eyes.
Mary was photographed shedding a tear as she said goodbye to her friends on the tarmac at Queenstown Airport.
The personal visit was the last moment of downtime before he assumes the throne in two weeks.
On December 20, upon her return to Denmark, Mary shared a message on the Mary Foundation website and Instagram page hinting at her future “success” and great things to come.
The letter was about loneliness and the need for positive human connection during the holiday season, but offered clues to something bigger.
Prior to the announcement, Mary was seen vacationing in Australia and New Zealand with her family in her most low-key visit to Australia.
And he added: “And at the same time, so many things have happened that it is impossible to express them all in words.”
‘We close 2023 soon and go on Christmas holidays grateful for everything we humans can do when we do it together. “We need each other if we want to be successful.”
A beautiful photo of the royal in the snow was posted along with the powerful message.
She wore a purple jacket under a warm wool robe and gave the camera a soft smile.
In November, rumors surfaced about an alleged “romance” between Prince Federico and Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova after they were photographed on a night out in Spain.
While the accusations might have been enough to end many relationships, Mary and Frederik adopted a “business as usual” attitude during their royal engagements.
The couple maintained a united front to appear as strong contenders for the future king and queen.
Rumors circulated in November about an alleged “romance” between Prince Frederik and Genoveva Casanova, but he and Mary maintained a united front while leaving official engagements.
On Christmas Eve, Mary and Frederik were seen holding hands as they entered Aarhus Cathedral for a Christmas Eve church service.
The royal couple were all smiles as they stepped out alongside Prince Christian, 18, Princess Elizabeth, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine before celebrating Christmas Day at Marselisborg Castle with Queen Margaret.
Danish royals were shocked by photographs published in October showing Prince Frederik spending the night in Madrid with the 47-year-old socialite.
When Spanish magazine Lecturas published the photos and alleged that the couple had spent the night at a winery in the Spanish capital where they watched flamenco dancing and dined until the early hours of the morning, Genoveva responded to “malicious” rumors that she was in a relationship. sentimental with the heir to the Danish throne.
Since the photos emerged, Princess Mary has remained quiet about her husband’s dinner with the socialite. | https://en.cedarnews.net/82774/task/from-tears-on-a-secret-trip-to-australia-to-a-cryptic-instagram-post-the-signs-that-princess-mary-was-about-to-become-denmarks-first-australian-queen/ | 2024-01-01T03:31:49Z |
C.J. Stroud made his triumphant return to the Houston Texans in the team's 26-3 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Head coach DeMeco Ryans had nothing but praise for Stroud in his first game back since missing the last two games due to concussion protocol.
“He was efficient all day…Everybody knows the type of player he is,” Ryans said in a quote obtained by Jonathan M. Alexander. “We're all excited to have C.J. back because he's a really great player.”

Stroud finished the game with 213 passing yards and one touchdown on 24/32 passing in the victory. He spoke about how it felt to return to the field in the postgame presser.
“ I mean, I feel like everything that we did on the field today, we put a good week of practice in, I think all 11 guys, took their responsibility really serious. We had, Robert Woods and Sheldon Rankins come up to us and talk to us last night about just the opportunity that we have. And I think everybody took that really serious, and we're really excited, cause I mean, we're playing our best ball towards the back end. Of course, last week we didn't do well, but, we weren't really at full strength and to be for this week. That we're kind of at full strength and still play a good, a good game against a tough Tennessee Titans team that takes really everybody to the stretch and be able to shut them out almost and, be able to put up some points offensively and defensively. I think that's a recipe for success.”

With the win, the Texans are now 9-7 and are very much alive in the AFC Playoff hunt but they need some things to fall in their favor. But, this is a very successful first year in the C.J. Stroud era and DeMeco Ryans and the Texans should be excited for the future. | https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-demeco-ryans-reacts-to-c-j-strouds-triumphant-return-from-concussion | 2024-01-01T03:31:51Z |
Astana’s Lopez comes in 4th in sprint at Tour Colombia 2.1. Stage 3
The Astana Pro Team riders were also in front of the race, looking for their chances in attack: Rodrigo Contreras and Hernando Bohorquez both tried to escape inside the last 10 kilometers.
But, the peloton came back together for the final kilometer of the distance to play the stage victory in the massive sprint. The Astana's leader Miguel Angel Lopez did a very strong sprint and finished 4th behind the stage winner Juan Sebastian Molano.
- The day was quite stressful. Many riders are just in seconds in the general classification, so that creates a lot of stress, especially in the final, when everybody goes in front, tries to attack. Anyway, I want to thank my team, I had a great support from my teammates all day long. Especially, Nikita did a super nice job today in front of the peloton, but also all other guys were strong. In the final a reduced group of maybe 35 - 40 riders arrived to the finish. So far, every second counts here in this race and I tried to take some bonus seconds, I did my best in sprint, but finished fourth. Anyway, I am happy with this day, because I feel good. Tomorrow, normally, will be another day for sprinters, while I am looking forward to the weekend stages, - said Miguel Angel Lopez.
- It was another day when our team did a great job. A group of 8 riders went away with a few names dangerous for the general classification. So, we sent a super strong Nikita Stalnov in front of the group to chase the breakaway together with the riders of Sky and EF Education First. Finally, all escapers were caught and the stage ended with a bunch sprint. Miguel Angel Lopez did a very good sprint and finished 4th, a very nice result. It was a good day for our team, - added Stefano Zanini, sports director of Astana Pro Team.
The Colombian Rigoberto Uran is the new overall leader.
Stage 4 will be held tomorrow: 144 km in Medellin.

Beavercreek soccer icons pass
John Guiliano and John Ankeney, a pair of notable figures in the Beavercreek soccer community, died this year.
Guiliano, 78, died in February after a battle with brain cancer. As the coach for the varsity team at Beavercreek, he was fifth all-time in OHSAA history with 427 wins with a career record of 427-110-85 in nearly 30 years as the school’s coach, including a state championship in 2017. The Beavers captured 16 league titles, 11 district championships and went to the state semifinals seven times.
Ankeney, 79, was thought of by his peers as a “founding father” for the growth of organized soccer in Beavercreek and the surrounding areas. He formed the Beavercreek Soccer Association in 1975 and created the John C. Ankeney Soccer Complex located just off of U. S. 35 on South Orchard Lane in Beavercreek. He died in September.
Fairborn football’s history making season
Getting to the dance is the end dream for every team, but no Skyhawks group has ever gotten to experience what the 2023 squad did.
Fairborn made the OHSAA football postseason as a qualifier for the first time ever. Not even getting to participate in the 2020 year in which every team was automatically entered, it could be excused if the community thought the team had some sort of curse to it applied.
The same group which had the opportunity taken away as freshman ended up earning one as seniors as Fairborn won its final game of the regular season in the final seconds to secure its spot. It only takes one year for a culture shift to occur, and now that the Skyhawks made the playoffs and know exactly what it takes to get there, it could become a more regular occurrence in future years.
And with a new stadium coming in 2024, Fairborn will certainly want to take the next step soon to be able to show it off in the late October season.
The Fairborn community also lost a member of its football program when former head coach Roy Thobe died in October.
Thobe, 60, headed the program for 14 seasons and during his time in charge won a GWOC title and was the league’s co-Coach of the Year in 2011.
Group of Rams conclude run
The Class of 2023 at Greeneview High School had a multi-year buildup to its exciting senior year. The Rams have been successful in multiple sports for several years, but something felt different with this group of boys heading into their final chances.
Football and boys soccer in the fall were ready to affirm their spots atop the league and did so. The core of basketball players got to the next level and made a tournament run, while wrestling had multiple state qualifiers. But it was baseball in the spring where the magic happened.
Greeneview exceeded expectations and produced a memorable season in which they dominated the OHC, set the school record for wins and won the school’s fifth district championship, eventually making the regional finals all while getting to play close to home during its tournament run.
It was a tremendous culmination for a group of seniors which never stopped “putting in the work” and made the most of their high school athletic careers.
Soccer taking over county
When trying to decide what Greene County may be becoming best known for, soccer certainly has to be near, if not at the top of consideration list.
Greeneview girls capped off a stellar year in the district round. Beavercreek girls after a slow start got things rolling and the boys gave one of the country’s top teams everything it could handle.
Bellbrook boys won another league title and the girls went unbeaten in the regular season. Legacy Christian had both of its boys and girls teams make the district finals for the first time and did so with stellar performers entering into the state record books for goal scoring.
This all coming off a year where Yellow Springs had its boys team make the state semifinals.
Stadium gets a face lift
Doug Adams Stadium is not finished with its two-year renovation plans yet, but the completion of Phase I in time for the 2023 football season was celebrated by the community and brought a new feel to the facility.
With new lighting fixtures constructed and the grandstands on both sides of the field rebuilt and enlarged, as well as flipping the home and away sides, DAS got a shiny new coat that noticeably increased the intimacy for anyone who had stood on the field before the changes and after they were finished. A new video scoreboard was added during the fall to further the enhancements.
Phase II will start in 2024 around the same time its first phase got underway and will put the finishing touches on the stadium renovation project.
Wrestling boom continues
The area has for several years has continued to develop its local scene with the Beavercreek and Xenia programs on the rise, girls officially becoming a recognized sport by the OHSAA, all while a local power established itself as one of the best in the state.
Legacy Christian won its third consecutive team championship in Division III. This one was a runaway with the Knights having the most individual qualifiers of any school at its level to place on the podium. That included Dillon Campbell becoming a three-time champion himself and Eli Campbell and Boede Campbell both finishing as runner-up. A chance at a four-peat in the coming year are realistic possibilities for both Dillon and LCA.
Girls wrestling is only in its infancy stage. Greeneview already had a state champion from the initial tournaments put on by the Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches Association, but got to join the history books with its first state recognized winner when Eve Matt prevailed at the Schottenstein Center during the first ever OHSAA girls wrestling state championships. Matt has her banner hanging in the Greeneview gymnasium alongside Karlie Harlow. The banners are the first of what could be many more to come for girls in the area as the sport continues to grow in popularity.

Summer reading guide: ABC heavyweights share the books they'll be reading these holidays
We're a book-loving bunch here at the ABC. Walk the halls of ABC HQs around the country and you're bound to encounter bibliophiles in their dozens.
ABC Arts sat down with some of our best-known bookish hosts and journos to quiz them about their summer reading plans: What do they plan to read over the break? And, more importantly, what reading recommendations do they have for us? RIP our #tbr pile!
Leigh Sales
I'm going to read books three and four of The Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman over summer. The whole series has been on the bestseller list for years, but I only finally got around to reading book one a few months ago.
That means I'm probably telling you all what you already know but, just in case: They are the most charming, clever page-turners — absolutely perfect summer reading.
I am constantly downloading samples of books to my Kindle so I can try before I buy, which means my reading list is always random and eclectic. This summer, I'll be checking out Erotic Vagrancy by Roger Lewis (a biography of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, which has been highly recommended by one of my favourite writers, Marina Hyde); The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes; J.S. Bach Volume 1 by Albert Schweitzer; Tom Lake by Ann Patchett; and The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life by Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg and Tom Pyszczynski.
My favourite reading experience this year was Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami — continuing my theme of being late to the party!
Leigh Sales is the host of ABC TV's Australian Story.
Namila Benson
This summer, I'm finally dipping into the pile of pre-loved books I've acquired over the last couple of years. First on the list is Aboriginal Country, a collection of raw, intimate poems by the late writer, artist, photographer, activist and broadcaster Lisa Bellear. Also in the mix is award-winning writer Tony Birch's collection of short stories, Dark as Last Night.
Birch is an incredibly evocative writer and I become low-key (read: high-key) obsessed with each story and character, to the point that I feel irritated if I have to stop reading to fix a snack or do some other necessary task.
I look forward to reading Coming of Age in the War on Terror by the bold and brilliant Randa Abdel-Fattah (gifted to me last year by the talented author and artist Amani Haydar).
In terms of books on creativity, this summer I'm reading three: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield; How to Be an Artist by the hilarious art critic Jerry Saltz; and a pocketbook I actually bought for my kids but I'm loving called This Is What I Know About Art. It's by African American curator, writer and art influencer Kimberly Drew, who looks at the relationship between art and protest.
If time allows, I've grabbed the classics Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin and Audre Lorde's The Black Unicorn.
And I've just finished How to Loiter in a Turf War by Māori writer, producer, emcee and artist Coco Solid. Here's to maximum holiday reading with minimal snack interruptions!
Namila Benson is a presenter for ABC TV.
Virginia Trioli
This summer I'll fall upon Zadie Smith's new novel, The Fraud like a seagull on a hot chip: It plumbs a Victorian history of England and Jamaica that looks fascinating. It also seems really funny, which I need after a year like this.
I've had foreign correspondent Dean Yates's Line in the Sand on my pile of shame for months, so I'm going to get to that. His personal story of recovering from the moral wounds he endured as a war and tragedy correspondent, it speaks of recovery and hope and the search for meaning.
And I'm off to my local independent bookstore in Melbourne to buy August Blue by the brilliant novelist Deborah Levy — a woman who understands all the small things of life that make up the overwhelming ones, and picks each of them out as if creating a needlepoint.
I'm also after some poetry — I'll let the people in the shop recommend something for me.
I hope you get to lock yourself away for a few days to lose yourself in a book, too.
Virginia Trioli will be presenting a new arts program for ABC TV in 2024.
Daniel Browning
I love books as much as the next RN presenter, but an unread one can make your life hell. I have a particularly cruel stack of the buggers in my living room, which delight in tormenting me daily.
On top of the pile is Melissa Lucashenko's Edenglassie. Melissa was generous and exceedingly kind in her foreword to my first book Close to the Subject, which came out in September. I met Melissa for lunch recently and I had to admit to her face that I hadn't put a dent in Edenglassie. I will say that 2023 has been hell busy. I'm currently researching my second book, a narrative history set in Europe, and when I write, I tend to temporarily stop reading — as a man, I am just not capable of that kind of multitasking.
The opening line of Edenglassie has to be one of the most gripping I've ever read. But you have to pour yourself into Melissa's books, as you do with the books you love — they demand your undivided attention. The promise of those words hasn't diminished since I first read them a few months ago, and I can't wait to bury myself in it.
Daniel Browning is the host of ABC RN's The Art Show.
Zan Rowe
Summer is all about digging into the epic reads you didn't get around to while life got in the way.
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver was one such read for me: a modern retelling of the David Copperfield story, set in Appalachia during the opioid epidemic. It's dark, it's frustrating and it sometimes feels hopeless.
But it's also beautiful, triumphant and reminds us what an incredible writer Kingsolver is. It feels so incredibly of our times and will have you reaching for it whenever you have a spare moment.
On a more whimsical note, I finally read my first Stephen King story this year (I know, I know) and LOVED it. Fairy Tale is a coming-of-age story that weaves in traditional fairy tales, pop culture and a nice dose of thrill without being too scary. It completely transported me and broke my heart in the best of ways.
And Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood — the tale of a guerilla gardening group, an American billionaire building a bunker in New Zealand and an ideological journalist — had me gripped from beginning to end. Jumping between different characters' perspectives from chapter to chapter, it left me breathless. Loved all three!
Zan Rowe is the host of Double J Mornings, the Bang On podcast and ABC TV's Take 5.
Beverley Wang
In The Woman in Me, award-winning pop star Britney Spears reclaims her voice and her story on her own terms. Spears doesn't hold back in her highly anticipated memoir, nor should she.
This is a young woman who was depicted as both the eternal virgin and hypersexualised from the beginning of her pop career, then spent her 30s under a conservatorship where everything from her reproductive rights to her spending money were beyond her control.
The Woman in Me is full of tabloid-level juicy details — like her break-up with Justin Timberlake — but with the added seasoning of a woman looking back and telling things from her perspective. This includes accounts of her childhood growing up poor in a dysfunctional Louisiana family, all through Spears's lens. Her family doesn't come out looking great: Throughout the memoir, Britney talks about how she's viewed in the family as both a money-making workhorse and a hot-mess black sheep. All this provides context for how it came to pass that a global superstar was put under a restrictive conservatorship for 13 years — overseen by her father and apparently with little opposition from her mother, sister and brother.
The Woman in Me is a fast read and if you want a bonus audio experience, check out the audiobook narrated by Academy Award-nominated actor Michelle Williams.
Beverley Wang is the host of ABC RN's Stop Everything!
Jo Lauder
I read Natalia Ginzburg's All Our Yesterdays last summer. Since then, I've read another four of her books and raved about her at every opportunity.
She is the master of cool, precise, devastating writing, and shows just how much emotion is conveyed when you write about people's behaviour, rather than tell readers what the characters feel — think Joan Didion and Elena Ferrante.
Published in 1952, All Our Yesterdays tells the story of a liberal Italian family during World War II, drawing heavily on Ginzburg's own life.
This summer, I'm reading Paul Murray's The Bee Sting; the Edith Wharton classic The Custom of the Country; and Octavia Bright's memoir This Ragged Grace.

Guest Column: Shine a light on strong women during 2024 with Inner Wheel
and live on Freeview channel 276
District 22, which covers the whole of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in its catchment area, held its International Rally recently with the aim of celebrating the district’s support for the Book Bus project in Zambia.
So far, more than 8,000 books have been donated and £30,000 raised by IWGB&I (Inner Wheel Great Britain and Ireland).

Hide AdThe push is now on to raise a further £10,000 nationally to purchase a new bus and to maintain it for one year.
This is a target which should easily be reached.
The 18 clubs in District 22 were represented at the meeting with one member at large enjoying a presentation by David Gordon CEO and Monica Mulenga, Book Bus Zambia project director, including a live
link to a school in Zambia which is supported by The Book Bus charity.
Seeing the delight on the faces of the children and hearing from some of them the difference that has been made to their lives gave a glow to everyone present and we all raised our lights to shine on these young people, some of whom walk for more than an hour to get to and from school.

The Houston Texans' Week 17 victory over the Tennessee Titans may have come at a heavy price, after injuries suffered by both LT Laremy Tunsil and WR Noah Brown.
Tunsil suffered a groin injury, while Brown was dealing with a hip injury. Both were ruled out from returning for the Texans, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Brown managed just one catch for eight yards on two targets before being forced to leave the contest. The Texans' wide receiver depth chart was already impacted by the season-ending injury to Tank Dell suffered in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.
Likewise, Tunsil joins a long list of injured Houston offensive linemen. The team lost Tytus Howard at the end of November, placing him on injured reserve due to a knee injury. He ended up appearing in just seven games in 2023 as he battled multiple injuries.
Kendrick Green, Jarrett Patterson, and Kilian Zierer also hit the IR for the Texans, sapping the offensive line's depth as the season went along.
Impact on Texans' playoff odds?
With a record of 8-7 heading into Week 17, the Texans had a straightforward path to the playoffs. Win (two) and in. Going 2-0 down the stretch would ensure at minimum a wildcard berth, with the AFC South title still in play.
Taking a split in their final two games would take destiny out of the Texans' hands. DeMeco Ryans' team would require a lot of help to lock up a wildcard spot in that scenario.
With C.J. Stroud back, Houston has to feel confident, but losing his blind side protector and one of his favorite weapons for an extended period of time isn't going to help matters. | https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-laremy-tunsil-noah-brown-out-injuries-titans | 2024-01-01T03:31:57Z |
Astana's Lutsenko keeps lead in Tour of Oman Stage 5
The Queen Stage took off from Samayil, to finish after 152 kilometers atop of Al Jabal Al Akhdar (Green Mountain). A breakaway of six riders was created right from the start, creating a gap of a maximum of 6 minutes. One man of this group would lead the race until the final hundred meters, Fabian Grellier. Behind this break, the Astana Pro Team took control in the peloton to protect Alexey Lutsenko. During the decisive climb of the Green Mountain, other teams took over to make the race hard. Alexey Lutsenko was able to follow and a few kilometers before the finish he attacked together with Jesus Herrada and Domenico Pozzovivo, Astana Pro Team informs on its website.
In the final kilometer, Alexey Lutsenko attacked to overtake Fabian Grellier in the final hundred meters, to win his third stage in this edition of the Tour of Oman. The Kazakh champion is now leading the race with an advantage of 44" seconds on Domenico Pozzovivo and 47" on Jesus Herrada.
Tomorrow is the final stage of the 2019 Tour of Oman, starting in Al Mouj Muscat to finish in Matrah Corniche after 135.5 kilometers. A hilly stage, but normally a stage for the sprinters. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-s-lutsenko-keeps-lead-in-tour-of-oman-stage-5_a3500329/ | 2024-01-01T03:31:59Z |

World's first coin of 2024 celebrates Australia's involvement in space and features King Charles's effigy
By Penny TraversHundreds of coin collectors were up early this morning to try and get their hands on the first minted coins for 2024 at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra.
Those who arrived by 8:30am were entered into a ballot to mint the world's first coin of the year in the public press.
A redraw saw 12-year-old Izzy Zaharis from Wollongong named the lucky winner, after the first entrant chosen was not present for the draw.
"It was very fun, exciting," she said.
"[The coin] is pretty cool; it's a nice design."
Coin collecting is a Zaharis family affair, with Izzy travelling to Canberra with her brother and parents, who also lined up on New Year's Eve to mint one of the last collectible coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II.
Earlier this month, Izzy's mother and brother also lined up for six hours to add some 35th anniversary $2 coins to their collection.
"When I was younger I was given a stamp collection from someone, and then I got to mint a coin at [World] Expo 88," Lisa Zaharis said.
"We all got a Centenary [of Federation] medallion in '88 at school and that was the start of the collection. I just went from there."
Another 99 people were also chosen from the ballot to press their own piece of memorabilia, with each given a certificate of authentication with their coin.
The coin is the first collectible coin featuring the effigy of King Charles III. Other coins featuring his majesty entered circulation last month.
Out of this world – Australia in space
This year's public program coin showcases Australia's involvement in space and references milestones like the launch of the first satellite and the Apollo 11 moon landing.
The mint worked closely with the Australian Space Agency in designing the coin.
"We have a long legacy of Australian studies and missions and support of international projects and we have so many things on the horizon," Australian National University astrophysicist Brad Tucker said.
"It's nice to celebrate that in a different way and partner space with a different sort of group that might not encounter space every day – and that is coin collectors."
Mr Tucker said Australia was going to mark "many milestones" this year in space, including the launch of an orbital satellite from Queensland.
"2024 is going to be a big year in space and it's great to kick if off here at the mint with a new coin," he said.
Royal Australian Mint chief executive Leigh Gordan said the coin told an "important Australian story" and he hoped it would inspire people to look to the stars.
"It's an exciting coin which I think will hopefully encourage some people to consider and talk about the role that space plays in Australia and the opportunities that it has in the future," he said.
"And also opportunities for people to invest in STEM and start considering that as a potential career." | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-01/world-first-coin-of-2024-minted-in-canberra/103277084 | 2024-01-01T03:32:01Z |

Lauren Boebert is pointing the finger at Hollywood for making her swap congressional districts. The Colorado Republican accused Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds of backing her Democrat rival.Streisand and Reynolds each donated $1,500 to Boebert’s rival, Democratic candidate Adam Frisch.
Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.
“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert told Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast on Saturday.
“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale,” she continued.
Boebert then named the stars, who she said were backing her rivals.
“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress,” Boebert told Bannon.
This isn’t the first time Boebert has slammed Streisand and Reynolds for backing her opponents.
In November, Boebert had mentioned the two stars while soliciting donations from her supporters.
“My opponent has plenty of funding from Soros dark money and even Hollywood liberals like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds,” she wrote in a post on X.
According to the Federal Election Commission, both Streisand and Reynolds have donated $1,500 each to Boebert’s rival, Democratic candidate Adam Frisch.
Boebert said on Wednesday that she was moving from Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District to the 4th Congressional District, a more conservative part of the state.
Her announcement comes after Frisch vastly outraised her. On Tuesday, Business Insider reported that Frisch had raised over $7.7 million, according to the FEC.
That is more than triple the $2.4 million that Boebert raised, per the FEC.
“I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat,” Boebert said in a Facebook video on Wednesday.
“It’s not fair to the 3rd District and the conservatives there who have fought so hard for our victories,” she added.
Representatives for Boebert, Streisand, and Reynolds did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours. | https://en.cedarnews.net/82776/task/lauren-boebert-blames-barbra-streisand-and-ryan-reynolds-for-making-her-switch-districts/ | 2024-01-01T03:32:03Z |
The Houston Texans made a statement when they selected Will Anderson Jr in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Texans have been proven right in their selection, as Anderson just made Houston franchise history.
Anderson recorded his seventh sack of the season in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. He now holds the record for most sacks by a rookie in Texans history, the team announced.
Anderson awards
The Texans traded their 2024 first round pick among a bevy of selections to the Arizona Cardinals for the right to draft Anderson. Houston had just taken CJ Stroud a pick prior. With their quarterback now settled, the Texans were desperate to add a defensive end to build around in Anderson.
So far, Anderson has been every bit the player Houston was hoping he would be. Heading into Week 17, the defensive end put up 42 tackles, 19 quarterback hits and five sacks. With two sacks against the Titans, Anderson has continued his ferocious rookie season. For his efforts, Anderson has earned a stellar 80.5 grade from Pro Football Focus.
Houston still has plenty of work to do on the defensive side of the ball. Before their matchup with the Titans, the Texans ranked 19th in the NFL by allowing 338.3 yards per game. Still, after ranking 30th to finish last season after allowing 379.5 YPG, it has been a stark improvement for Houston.
Will Anderson has played a massive role in the defense's improvement. He has helped the Texans get out to a 23-3 lead over the Titans late in the fourth quarter. A win would move Houston to 9-7 and continue show that with Anderson and Stroud they're ready to compete right now. | https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-will-anderson-franchise-history-sack-titans | 2024-01-01T03:32:03Z |

Astana's Lutsenko leads in Tour of Oman Stage 4
"Today we took control of the race right from the start, the team showed that they want to work to defend my GC lead, which is great. It was all about the final today, where I tried to deliver a sprint, but it was too hectic for me in the final kilometer. In the end, I finished twelfth in the bunch sprint. So, another day is done and now we can fully focus on the most important stage of this Tour, the Green Mountain stage. I know this climb, as I finished second behind my teammate Miguel Angel Lopez last year. It's a very hard climb, so the only thing I can do is giving everything that I've got. I'm confident, but for sure, it won't be easy. I will need all the help of my teammates, just like in the past few days," said Alexey Lutsenko.
The 131 kilometers from Yiti to the Oman Convention & Exhibition Center was short but intensive, as the riders had to climb the Al Jabal Street three times in the final 60 kilometers. Three riders attacked shortly after the peloton caught six other riders who tried to make the breakaway right from the start. These three riders got the company of two other riders, making it a break of six riders. Behind them, Astana Pro Team took control over the peloton.
In the final 50 kilometers, teams aiming for a stage victory took over the control and managed to close the gap with the breakaway. As the pace was high on the final climbs, the peloton reduced to a group of 30 riders. This bunch sprinted towards the slightly uphill finish at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Center. It was Sonny Colbrelli who was the fastest sprinter of the day. The Italian was able to stay in front of Greg van Avermaet and Clement Venturini. Davide Ballerini and Alexey Lutsenko finished eleventh and twelfth, in the same group as of today's winner. Lutsenko remains the leader of the race, with 14" seconds advantage on Van Avermaet and 18" on Jesus Herrada.
Tomorrow the Queen Stage awaits with the summit finish on the Green Mountain. Like every year, the climb of this mountain will likely decide who will win the Tour of Oman. Before the finish, the riders will race 152 kilometers, starting from Samayil. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-s-lutsenko-leads-in-tour-of-oman-stage-4_a3499966/ | 2024-01-01T03:32:06Z |

Clothes made for moving and resting
Maybe one day you’re feeling motivated and want to get some exercise with a brisk jog. Or maybe you’ll change your mind and do some much-needed relaxing on the couch instead. This type of perfectly relatable indecisiveness calls for a most versatile ensemble: workout clothes that are also great for lounging.
Marked by its comfort (and therefore lack of compression), athleisure works just as well at a barre class as on a lazy Sunday at home. And don’t think that means you have to compromise on style — our favorite workout/loungewear is just as cute as it is cozy.
New year, same you: Affordable home workout equipment because you hate the gym
Our favorite places to shop for comfy athleisure clothes
Athleisure clothing is more popular than ever, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, which came with ample time spent at home and, therefore, spawned a new appreciation for ultra-comfortable clothing. There are lots of great places to buy cute workout clothes that are also excellent for lounging. These are a few of our favorites.
Universal Standard
The inclusive clothing retailer has a robust athleisure section. We love that every versatile piece comes in an excellent size selection. Nearly the entire line comes in the same colorways, so it’s super easy to mix and match various pieces to create several great outfits.
Vuori
Browse the pages of Vuori’s website, and practically everything you find will fall into both the activewear and the loungewear categories. Of all the California-based brand’s high-quality offerings, we’re partial to its DreamKnit and BlissBlend lines. The DreamKnit line, which includes the comfiest silky sweats dubbed the Performance Jogger, is crafted from a lightweight-but-durable supersoft fabric that feels amazing. Meanwhile, the new BlissBlend line of leggings and sports bras is made from a high-stretch fabric with a luxuriously airy feel.
Abercrombie & Fitch
In case you missed it, the newly rebranded Abercrombie & Fitch is officially cool again. Among our favorite things to shop from the more inclusive brand is its activewear under the YPB label. (By the way, that stands for Your Personal Best, a message we can certainly stand behind.) The coziest offerings include soft and stretchy leggings and a relaxed-fit, quick-dry, long-sleeve T-shirt.
Colorfulkoala
These budget-friendly yoga pants, which are available on Amazon, are among our favorites for their super-comfy matte finish that’s reminiscent of pricier Lululemon styles. Though they’ll stay securely put through even the most intense workout class, they can be worn just as well around the house with an oversized sweater and slippers. There are tons of fun patterns and colors to choose from, as well as iterations with and without pockets.
Quince
Though best known for its $50 Mongolian cashmere sweater, this direct-to-consumer brand also offers an impeccable selection of activewear. Though motion-ready, everything is highly comfortable, so you don’t have to work out if you don’t want to.
Halara
This brand specializes in all kinds of comfortable clothing and its Cloudful Fabric line feels exactly the way it sounds: heavenly. We especially love the cross-waist leggings, which have a flattering fit, but are designed to stay put despite activity. They come in a ton of fun colors in two different lengths.

This supremely comfortable top is the perfect length to partner with a pair of leggings and wear to a winter workout class. Don’t worry if you sweat. The quick-dry fabric can handle it without issue.

North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
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.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images
Chief Justice John Roberts released his year-end review of the Supreme Court. He took a lot of space writing about the potential of AI in the courtroom. Notably, he sidestepped any discussions of Supreme Court ethics.
On Sunday, Chief Justice John Roberts turned his focus to the promise and shortcomings of artificial intelligence in the federal courts in an annual report that did not mention Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks came just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
Notable, however, were Roberts’s omissions from his year-end report concerning a Supreme Court plagued with questions about its ethics and the court’s first adoption of a code of conduct.
The ethics questions stemmed from a series of reports from ProPublica scrutinizing gifts that Justice Clarence Thomas received and failed to disclose from Harlan Crow, a billionaire GOP donor.
The ethical dilemmas spread to other Justices. Samuel Alito was criticized for a luxury fishing trip he took with a billionaire working to block student debt relief. Sonia Sotomayor was accused of using her position to pressure institutions where she previously held speaking gigs into buying her books. Even Roberts came under scrutiny after Business Insider revealed that his wife made millions of dollars recruiting for law firms, one of which argued a case in front of the Supreme Court.
The code of conduct eventually adopted by the court this year has been criticized for being toothless, as it only suggests, rather than demands, that justices recuse themselves from cases involving friends or family members.
The country also is entering the beginning of an election year that seems likely to entangle the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts seldom discusses cases before the Supreme Court or that seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determine “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”
A representative for the Supreme Court did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours. | https://en.cedarnews.net/82777/task/chief-justice-roberts-used-his-year-end-report-to-ponder-ethical-uses-of-ai-in-law-but-didnt-mention-ethical-questions-circling-the-supreme-court/ | 2024-01-01T03:32:09Z |
This season, the Sugar Bowl is one of the most anticipated versions of the bowl game in history. Texas is set to take on Washington in the College Football Playoff Semifinal, and we will explain how you can watch that game.
When and where is the Allstate Sugar Bowl?
The Allstate Sugar Bowl is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Kickoff between Texas and Washington will be at 8:45 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 1.
How to watch Texas vs. Washington
A number of ESPN channels will be broadcasting the Sugar Bowl, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and ESPNEWS. You can also watch the game with a live stream from fuboTV.
Date: Monday, Jan. 1 | Time: 8:45 p.m. ET
Location: Caesars Superdome — New Orleans, Louisiana
TV channel: ESPN | Live stream: fuboTV (click for a free trial)
Odds: Texas -4.5 | O/U 62.5
Allstate Sugar Bowl storylines
Washington beat Texas in the Alamo Bowl last season. Now, the two will rematch with even higher stakes. Washington has been impressive under Kalen DeBoer. After finishing 4-8 in 2021, Washington brought on DeBoer to coach the team, and they went 11-2 last year before going undefeated so far this season.
The Huskies won their games in dominant fashion to start the season this year, but each of their last nine games have been decided by 10 or fewer points. While some will say that shows the Huskies are vulnerable, it can also be argued that Washington knows how to win close games when not everything goes right, and that is sure to be the case during a College Football Playoff game.
Washington goes into the Sugar Bowl with a great offense. Led by Michael Penix Jr., Washington scores 37.7 points per game. The quarterback has already thrown for 4,218 yards and 33 touchdowns this season, which is why he was a Heisman Trophy finalist.
Penix Jr. has tons of talent around him. Rome Odunza, Ja'lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillian form arguably the best receiving room in college football, and Dillon Johnson has 1,113 yards on the ground this season. Texas looks a lot different than the team the Huskies beat last year, though.
Texas is 12-1, and they even have a win over Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Their only loss of the season came at the hands of Oklahoma. Quinn Ewars is the team's quarterback. The former top recruit has 3,161 yards and 21 touchdowns through the air this season despite missing two games because of injury. Ewers was recently in the news when his backup, Arch Manning, was the quarterback getting all of the attention from the media prior to the team's Sugar Bowl appearance. Ewers is a great quarterback in his own right, and he is sure to be motivated by the incident.
Unfortunately, the Longhorns will be without Jonathon Brooks. The team's leading rusher is out for the season with an ACL injury. The team does still have Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell playing receiver, though. Texas might have the only receiver unit that can match Washington's talent at the position group.
The winner of this game will advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship game. Alabama and Michigan play in the other College Football Playoff Semifinal game.
Sugar Bowl history
The Sugar Bowl is the second oldest bowl game. It has been running annually since 1935. The Sugar Bowl was at Tulane Stadium from 1935-74, and it has been at the Caesars Superdome ever since with 2006 being the exception. That year, because of Hurricane Katrina, the Sugar Bowl was played at the Georgia Dome.
Allstate Insurance has sponsored the game since 2007. Prior to that, ASF&G and Nokia have sponsored the game.
Texas will be making their fifth appearance in the Sugar Bowl. They are 2-2 in the Sugar Bowl, and this is also Texas' first College Football Playoff appearance. Washington has never played in the Sugar Bowl before, and they only have one prior College Football Playoff Semifinal appearance. They lost in the 2017 Peach Bowl. | https://clutchpoints.com/texas-washington-how-to-watch-cfp-semifinal-allstate-sugar-bowl | 2024-01-01T03:32:09Z |

Astana's Lutsenko wins Tour of Oman second year straight
Domenico Pozzovivo (second on 44" seconds) and Jesus Herrada (third on 47" seconds) completed the overall podium. Lutsenko also took the green ‘points' jersey today, after winning three stages this week. The final stage was won by Giacomo Nizzolo in a bunch sprint, with Davide Ballerini taking his first podium for Astana Pro Team by finishing third behind Sonny Colbrelli.
"I'm delighted to win this race again after last year's victory. This time I felt even better during the whole race, and together with the support I received from my teammates this edition was even more successful with three stage wins. It's nice to have this confirmation of my form, now it's important that I bring this feeling to the first goals of the season.
It was a hectic day, with a big crash and a lot of stressful moments. But all the time, especially Hugo Houle, Magnus Cort, and Zhandos Bizhigitov were next to me to keep me out of trouble. But now we've finished, I'm most of all very happy that we were able to work like this and to seal this overall win. We will have a small celebration, but the main goals of the season are still ahead of us," said Alexey Lutsenko.
"To win the Tour of Oman for a third time with Astana Pro Team, after Vincenzo Nibali in 2016 and Alexey Lutsenko last year, is a great achievement. Of course, it's very important to see that Lutsenko is in a good shape for his most important objectives for this season. But the whole team made a great impression this week, for example, today's third place in the stage for Davide Ballerini. We're happy about this week and are looking forward to the first big races coming up next," said sports director Dmitriy Fofonov.
"I was really close to the stage win, and with a final jump I tried to cross the finish line first, but at the end, it was Giacomo Nizzolo who finished just in front of me. I'm happy with my first podium for Astana Pro Team, but when you're so close, you always hope for more. But most important is that we took the overall win with Alexey Lutsenko, I'm very proud to have been part of the team that helped him during this Tour. Today's result and the overall win of Alexey gives me great motivation for the rest of the season," said Davide Ballerini.
The final stage of the 2019 Tour of Oman started in Al Mouj Muscat and finished on Matrah Corniche after 135.5 kilometers of racing. Shortly after the day's breakaway took off, Astana Pro Team took the lead in the peloton but when the advantage grew to 2,5 minutes for the break, the sprinter's teams took over to close the gap. In the final laps, the Kazakh team managed to stay in the first positions of the bunch to avoid any risks. After Davide Ballerini finished third in a fast bunch sprint, the back-to-back Tour of Oman win of Alexey Lutsenko was a fact. Overall, he finished 44" seconds in front of Domenico Pozzovivo and 47" seconds of Jesus Herrada. Next to the red jersey for his GC win, he also took the win in the points classification and received the green jersey.
It was a successful Tour of Oman with three stage victories and the overall win for Astana Pro Team. | https://en.inform.kz/news/astana-s-lutsenko-wins-tour-of-oman-second-year-straight_a3500838/ | 2024-01-01T03:32:12Z |
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Two Norfolk naval ships responded to a second distress call made by the MAERSK HANGZHOU container ship, according to U.S. Central Command’s social media post.
Less than 24 hours since its initial distress call, the MAERSK HANGZHOU issued a second distress call as it was under attack by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats, on Dec. 31 around 6:30 a.m., Sana’a time.
The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired weapons at the MAERSK HANGZHOU, getting within 20 meters of the vessel, and attempted to board the vessel. A contract embarked security team on the MAERSK HANZGHOU returned fire.
U.S. helicopters from the USS EISENHOWER and USS GRAVELY responded to the distress call and in the process of issuing verbal calls to the small boats, the small boats fired upon the U.S. helicopters with crew served weapons and small arms.
The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire, and sank three of the four small boats, killing the crews. The fourth boat fled the area. There was no damage to U.S. personnel or equipment.

Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen had drinks during CNN’s live New Year’s Eve show, just a year after the network banned on-air drinking during the holidays.
“Speaking of traditions, it’s the best thing ever,” Cohen said Sunday night as he and Cooper appeared at the annual live show in Times Square.
“We’ve been here for seven years doing this, and for most of those years… well, at the last minute we usually have a toast.”
The TV host continued: “I guess I’m wondering: Does Dad get his juice?”
‘Can Dad source his juice responsibly?’ Cooper responded jokingly.
Under a new fall 2022 policy, presenters were ordered to stay away from alcohol during the Christmas broadcast.
Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper took photos during CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast on Sunday.
“I guess I’m wondering: Does Daddy get his juice?” Cohen joked before Cooper got a bottle of tequila.
Presenters were ordered to stay away from alcohol in the fall of 2022, after the network’s former CEO Chris Licht criticized the tradition as unprofessional.
When Cooper said she didn’t drink alcohol, Cohen pulled a bottle of tequila from her purse.
‘Anderson, that’s why I’m a very good partner for you. I have it! We’re doing this!’ Cohen said.
After inviting viewers to join their toast, Cohen and Cooper each took a drink.
The controversy arose during the 2022 New Year’s show, where Cohen and Cooper hosted from New York, while former CNN anchor Don Lemon reported from New Orleans.
Lemon, drink in hand, proclaimed that haters could ‘kiss my ass’ and Cohen launched into an alcohol-fueled rant against Bill de Blasio.
The network made the decision to ban alcohol consumption on air that fall, under the direction of then-CEO Chris Licht.
At a November meeting, Licht proclaimed, “I’m not looking for a bunch of my respectful talents to be there all night doing takes,” according to a recording obtained by The Washington Post.
“That will be different,” he continued. “I don’t think that creates credibility.”
A spokesperson later acknowledged that Cohen’s alcohol-fueled tirade against de Blasio was inappropriate, saying, “Andy said something he shouldn’t have said on live television.”
During the 2022 New Year’s Eve show, Lemon drunkenly ranted at his haters and told them to ‘kiss my ass.’
The same night, Cohen launched an alcohol-fueled tirade against former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio.
After the CEO’s statements were leaked, Lemon appeared on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ to have a shot of tequila with the host.
“I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do this year,” Lemon told Colbert. “You’re going to get me in trouble.”
The former ‘CNN This Morning’ host parted ways with the network in April after facing accusations of misogyny.
It’s unclear whether new chief executive Mark Thompson has repealed the alcohol ban, but Cohen pleaded with him to allow live drinking last month.
“I haven’t heard anything yet, but come on, they have to let us drink,” Cohen told E! November news.
‘It’s New Year’s Eve. That didn’t go well last year in terms of viewer happiness for our drink. “People really cared and I hope CNN gives them what they want.”
Both Cohen and Cooper ratcheted up the suspense during an appearance on ‘The Late Show,’ with Cooper saying, “I guess you’ll just have to tune in and watch.” | https://en.cedarnews.net/82778/task/anderson-cooper-and-andy-cohen-are-back-on-the-booze-as-they-break-last-years-prohibition-and-down-tequila-shots-at-new-years-eve-show-in-times-square/ | 2024-01-01T03:32:15Z |
The Denver Broncos are benching quarterback Russell Wilson in order to preserve financial flexibility.
The Broncos asked Wilson to restructure his contract to waive an additional $37 million that would become guaranteed if he can’t pass a physical by early March. Denver’s move to sit him assures that money won’t trigger.
By the looks of it, Wilson's time with the Broncos is over. His latest benching might be the biggest indication that the team is ready to move on from him, though he has apparently felt it for two months now. Wilson expects the Broncos to cut him by March, a move that he has reportedly foreseen since October when the team asked him to defer the injury guarantee trigger date in his contract.
But it won't be so simple for the Broncos to cut ties with the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
According to Schefter, the team could release Wilson in mid-March, thereby escaping the $37 million in additional guaranteed money that would trigger. But this would leave Denver with an $85 million dead cap charge in 2024, the largest on one player in NFL history.
The Broncos could opt to use a post-June 1 designation on Wilson's release, which would split the dead money hits over two years. Those hits would be $35.4 million in 2024 and $49.6 million in 2025. This would be the Broncos more likely choice if they release Wilson, according to Schefter.
The Broncos' third option would be to trade Wilson. However, his contract contains a no-trade clause, giving him the ability to veto any deal that he does not approve.
Finally, Denver's fourth option, which Schefter says seems to be the least likely at the moment, would be for Wilson and the Broncos to somehow figure out their differences and have him return for a third season with the Broncos.
Given the way this has played out, it certainly does seem like fans have seen the last of Russell Wilson leading the Denver Broncos. | https://clutchpoints.com/the-least-likely-russell-wilson-option-that-can-see-broncos-qb-returning-in-2024 | 2024-01-01T03:32:16Z |

Astana's Miguel Angel Lopez wins Tour Colombia 2.1
"It was another hard day in the mountains, and once again I have to thank my team for super work and great support during the day. Today's success is team's success, for sure! I tried to do a smart race, I think I attacked in the right time and, finally, have got a result I was looking for. The final was, maybe, too hard, but I did it until the end and won this race. I am super happy with this victory, especially, because I won here in Colombia!" said Miguel Angel Lopez.
It was a dramatic final on the Alto de Palmas with many attacks of the favorites inside the final 10 kilometers. In a moment, with 5 km to go Miguel Angel Lopez made a strong attack, creating a small group of the leaders. Because of a bad behavior of a fan alongside the road, a few riders crashed down, but, fortunately, the Astana's rider could avoid it.
Inside the final kilometer there was a fight for a stage win between Lopez and another Colombian Ivan Sosa, while Nairo Quintana could come across them to take the final stage. Behind him Sosa was second and Miguel Angel Lopez third. Anyway, this result was more than enough to bring Astana Pro Team the overall victory in the Tour Colombia 2.1. Besides, Miguel Angel Lopez won the jersey of the best young rider of the race.
Also, we have to note a very strong ride of our newcomer Rodrigo Contreras, who finished 10th in the final classification.
This is the fourth general classification success for the Kazakh team this season after Volta Ciclista a la Comunitat Valenciana (Ion Izagirre), Vuelta Ciclista a la Región de Murcia (Luis Leon Sanchez) and Tour de la Provence (Gorka Izagirre).
