Jaren Hall is out.
After digging a 23-3 halftime hole to the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings benched the rookie quarterback in favor of veteran Nick Mullens.
The decision arrives days after head coach Kevin O'Connell benched Mullens in favor of Hall for Sunday's game. With Minnesota's playoff hopes at stake, O'Connell made another switch with the hope that Mullens could spark a comeback. | https://www.k99online.com/news/national/vikings-bench-qb/RXQTYOM6SYDZ6SBMZQQI5AJB4I/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:01Z |
Students who stopped moving bus after driver lost consciousness honored

A group of South Sound high school students were able to stop a runaway school bus in mid-December after their driver had a medical emergency, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department reported Sunday.
According to a post on the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department blotter While transporting students from both Franklin Pierce High School and Washington High School on 112th Street E near Waller Road E on Dec. 12, a school bus driver started experiencing “disturbing” symptoms while the bus was in motion. The driver was able to use the public address system and said something similar to “Somebody call for help!” as he started to lose consciousness.
Two of the Washington students called 911, while a third student left his seat, took the steering wheel and “pulled the emergency brake to bring the bus safely to a halt,” the post reads.
Another student used the bus radio system to contact authorities while a fifth held the driver’s head and comforted him.
Education news: No school closures recommended for 2024-25, Seattle superintendent says
The driver was transported to MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital for further evaluation and, as of Sunday, was doing fine. The blotter post states that is the case, “thanks to these young people who acted calmly and bravely during an emergency to save their bus driver and everyone else on the bus that day.”
The blotter post concludes by noting that the students were honored “for stepping up in a tense situation” at an assembly before school broke for Christmas break last week. | https://mynorthwest.com/3944864/students-who-stopped-moving-bus-after-driver-lost-consciousness-honored/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:02Z |
A video of the incident has surfaced on social media. (Representational)
Sidhi: Police have launched an investigation after the principal of a government college claimed he was attacked by four persons on a false accusation of his involvement in witchcraft in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, an official said.
A case was registered under the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in connection with the incident which occurred on December 29, a police officer said on Sunday.
"Based on a complaint lodged by Lalbahadur Singh, the principal of the government college in Sinhawal town, a case has been registered against four persons and further investigation is underway," Sidhi Superintendent of Police Ravindra Verma said.
He acknowledged that a video of the incident has surfaced on social media.
The trigger behind the incident is under investigation, the official said when asked about Singh's claim.
The principal told reporters he came to know from the college employees that the attackers claimed he was involved in witchcraft, which is not true.

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

(NEXSTAR) — Select batches of a baby formula product have been recalled due to concerns about possible bacterial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans of Nutramigen Powder, produced by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) and distributed to U.S. retailers over the summer. Nutramigen Powder is a specialty formula designed for infants allergic to cow’s milk.
The company said it issued the recall due to the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
“All products in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria,” MJN said in its press release.
Cronobacter is a germ that can cause a dangerous blood infection known as sepsis, and it can also “make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants younger than two months old, born prematurely or with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sick from the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and MJN said it believes most of the products have already been consumed.
The affected products are listed below. They have a “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025” and a UPC Code of either 300871239418 or 300871239456.

New mum Osaka tested in victory on tour return
Naomi Osaka has shown glimpses of her thunderous best after being tested in a successful WTA Tour return in Brisbane.
Japan's former world No.1 and four-time major champion beat Germany's Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6 (11-9) in the first round of the Brisbane International on Monday.
It was her first WTA victory in 15 months and first match since the arrival of her daughter in July.
The 26-year-old thumped 36 winners, mostly on the forehand side, and added 29 unforced errors in a match that stretched almost two hours.
There were plenty of smiles but some frustration when she was broken while serving for the match at 5-3, world No.83 Korpatsch then saving two match points and earning two set points of her own in a tense tiebreak to decide a 70-minute second set.
Osaka's big forehand eventually dug her out of that hole and she enjoyed signing autographs and taking selfies with fans post-match.
"The last couple of years I played, before I had my daughter, I didn't return as much love as I was given," she said, admitting there were plenty of nerves.
"That's what I want to do in this chapter.
"I appreciate people coming out and knowing and cheering for me ... it feels really surreal sometimes."
Osaka started brilliantly, breaking Korpatsch to love in the first game and cruising in a 38-minute opening set.
She'll meet former world No.1 Karolina Pliskova, a two-time winner in Brisbane, in the second round.
Australia's Arina Rodionova has already progressed to the second round while fit-again Daria Saville will attempt to join them when she plays Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska later on Monday on Pat Rafter Arena.
Rain has stopped play on outside courts on Monday, with an all-Australian clash Kimberly Birrell and Olivia Gadecki among those scheduled.
Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Victoria Azarenka, Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens are also in the 64-player women's draw, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-12915721/New-mum-Osaka-tested-victory-tour-return.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T04:13:07Z |
Former President Donald Trump has issued a statement claiming that Democrats are leveraging “unvetted migrants” to secure victories in upcoming elections.
Trump’s statement, posted on Truth Social, suggested a deliberate strategy by Democrats to influence election outcomes. “It’s becoming more and more obvious to me why the ‘Crazed’ Democrats are allowing millions and millions of totally unvetted migrants into our once great Country,” Trump wrote. “IT’S SO THEY CAN VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.”
In his message, Trump also directed a warning to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a fellow Republican with whom he has had long-standing animosity. Trump urged McConnell to heed his warnings about the alleged Democratic strategy involving migrants.
“They are signing them up at a rapid pace, without even knowing who the hell they are. It all makes sense now. Republicans better wake up and do something, before it is too late. Are you listening Mitch McConnell?”

US overtakes China as South Korea’s top export market
South Korean exports to the US exceeded shipments to China for the first time in two decades last month, in a sign of shifting ties amid global tensions over economic security and tech supply chains.
South Korea sold $US11.3 billion in goods to the US in December compared with $US10.9 billion to China, the trade ministry said Monday. The switch in positions came as South Korea’s overall exports rose 5.1 per cent from a year earlier - a third monthly increase after a yearlong slump. | https://thewest.com.au/business/markets/us-overtakes-china-as-south-koreas-top-export-market-c-13080899 | 2024-01-01T04:13:06Z |

Five things I care about
The Ravens demonstrate their complete transformation
The Ravens took down the 49ers and Dolphins, two of the best operations in the league, by a combined 51 points in back-to-back weeks. They did it on the way to clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and vaulting their quarterback to the driver’s seat of the MVP conversation.
Statement wins don’t even begin to do this justice.
As MVP chants rained down all afternoon, Lamar Jackson predictably didn’t engage much and took a “job’s not done” approach in postgame interviews. Jackson and everyone affiliated with the Ravens don’t have their eye on MVP trophies or Week 17 wins. They want the Super Bowl, plain and simple. However, he entertained queries about the differences between this year’s Ravens and previous editions.
After the game, Jackson told Evan Washburn of CBS, “This year our guys stayed locked in,” when comparing Sunday’s win to the last time Baltimore and Miami went to battle. In 2022, the Ravens controlled the game but let it slip away in the fourth quarter as the Dolphins fired vertical shots over the top of the typically stout Ravens defense. Jackson emphasized that this group knows how to finish, something they’ve struggled with in recent seasons. They’ve proven they're different by keeping their foot on the gas and putting away top-tier teams the last two weeks.
That’s not the only way this year’s Ravens are wildly different than previous renditions. You need only look back one year ago today to spot the contrast.
It’s been such a breath of fresh air to watch the Ravens offense this year stocked with actual playmakers. In Week 17 last season, their two most productive WRs each had just one catch for nine yards. pic.twitter.com/VkxHEvoTIQ
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
Look at that box score from 2022's Week 17 loss and compare it with what you watched from the Ravens on Sunday. Lamar Jackson threw five touchdown passes and finished the game with a perfect 158.2 passer rating. The critical note: he activated multiple pass-catchers.
Zay Flowers finished the day with a mere three catches but those went for 106 yards and a score, the majority coming on a 75-yard deep shot with layers of YAC on top. Isaiah Likely scored twice, once on a 35-yard catch-and-run downfield play and another on a beautifully designed leak route near the goal line. Rashod Bateman and Jackson didn’t connect on a 40-plus-yard pass early in the game but the receiver put that behind him and finished with 54 yards and helped move the chains with consistent intermediate route running. Odell Beckham snared a contested catch on a go-route for 33 yards on his lone reception to move the team inside the five-yard line.
Even in the running back room, as Gus Edwards was thumping away, Justice Hill was a consistent source of big plays. He averaged 12.8 yards on his five catches and 16 yards on his three rush attempts. Not to mention a whopping 50.5 yards on his pair of kick returns.
The Ravens have never come close to being able to throw this many playmakers at an opponent. The 2022 Week 17 example is extreme but the lack of truly dangerous, much less multi-layered pass-catchers has haunted the Ravens with Lamar Jackson under center.
In one offseason, they’ve added some serious juice to the offense.
It’s important to note that, while guys like Flowers and Beckham are new faces, some of these players who are making a crucial impact are holdovers. That’s where the coaching change comes in. All of these players are being deployed in a unit with the ruthlessly creative Todd Monken at the controls. If the contrast in juice didn’t catch your eye, the night-and-day difference in the play design certainly should.
Awesome play design on this one https://t.co/IQ11jBstvr
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
As Jackson alluded, the job isn’t done. But as this Baltimore team marches toward their desired goals, they can do so with the confidence that they have the goods that older models didn't possess. They have all the makings of a great, modern NFL offense as they prepare for a postseason run. We don’t know how this journey will end for the 2023 Ravens but we know they’re far better prepared for the road than ever before.
The 49ers take care of business
The team that fell to the Ravens last week was able to shake off their Christmas day letdown in Week 17. The 49ers should beat a floundering Commanders team that was forced into starting the quarterback they tried to bench by double digits — and that’s precisely what they did.
As the defense created chaos on their side, Brock Purdy checked in with all his usual efficient marks. He averaged 8.2 yards per attempt and completed 78.6% of his passes. Purdy consistently connected with his top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk. A Washington defense that can’t cover a soul yet still rolls out more man-to-man than almost anyone in the league was always a plus matchup for Aiyuk.
Yet, it was the nature of their plays that mattered. Aiyuk made catches on out-breaking patterns, in tight coverage on go-routes and put the cherry on top with an improvisational touchdown when Purdy went into creation mode.
So many top-tier plays from Brandon Aiyuk today it’s hard to narrow it down to the best one but this improv play where he and Purdy go into creation mode to get a big window is pretty sweet
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
pic.twitter.com/nuUUs0IHYY
These types of plays simply weren’t present in pre-Purdy iterations of the 49ers offense.
The win did come at something of a cost, as so many fantasy managers are ready to tell you. Typically, I don’t feel bad for gamers when their RB1 touches the ball 18 times and records 91 total yards. When that player is Christian McCaffrey, I’ll allow a small touch of pity.
McCaffrey suffered what was announced as a calf injury in the second half of this game. Elijah Mitchell came in and ultimately helped close this thing out. He's one of the best backup runners in the league. There's no real replacing of McCaffrey and that will certainly be true when the competition gets much tougher than the Commanders.
That’s what makes wrapping up the NFC’s top seed in Week 17 so important, thanks to this win and a stunning Eagles loss. While McCaffrey’s fantasy season is over, his and the 49ers’ real pursuit of glory is just beginning. With the top seed all wrapped up, they can place McCaffrey on ice next week right before the whole team gets a bye during the Wild Card round. We should all — outside of fans of other NFC teams — be rooting for his total health, because as the Aiyuk-to-Purdy connection reminded us on Sunday, this offense is something we just haven’t seen before during a 49ers postseason run.
Jayden Reed
One of my favorite wide receiver prospects from the 2023 NFL Draft was now-Packers rookie, Jayden Reed. Sunday Night Football was just another example in a season’s worth of evidence for why I was so high on Reed. He’s quietly one of the most dynamic players in yet another great rookie class.
Jayden Reed isn't going to be a slot-only player for the Packers@MattHarmon_BYB on Reed's potential ceiling as a high impact player pic.twitter.com/mwYwl2bjd9
— Reception Perception (@RecepPerception) August 25, 2023
Jordan Love’s first pass of the game was a deep shot to Reed. It wasn’t the first time he looked for Reed in the vertical game as the two would later connect on a 33-yard post route. The more Reed shines in the deep game, the better off this Packers offense is. The best part of Reed’s game is that he’s multi-faceted. He can win on big-boy routes against press coverage (as the video above shows) but the Packers are comfortable working him in on designer plays underneath. His second touchdown of the day came on an explosive run-after-catch play after he ran a gorgeous route against man coverage.
I often said during the draft process that Reed was one or two tweaks away from being a high-level starting wide receiver. There are still some kinks Reed needs to work out in the contested-catch game but otherwise, as a separator and runner after the catch, Reed has made those leaps I wanted to see.
The Packers have drafted a lot of skill-position players the last two years. All of them look like they will be useful-to-very-good players in the league. With Jordan Love looking like a quality starter, we should be interested in all of them at different levels.
I said it when he was drafted and I’ll say it again: Reed will be the best of the bunch.
My only negative note from Reed’s rookie season is that he’s been dealing with many nagging injuries this season. He missed the second half of this SNF game after re-aggravating a chest injury he’s been nursing since Week 12. Part of Reed’s appeal is that he’ll handle the dirty work underneath and in the YAC game in addition to his special teams contribution. He’s going to take punishment in those areas. Hopefully, the Packers can work out how to keep him healthy for the long term and allow him to shine fully.
Jayden Reed has superstar potential. Plain and simple. He has the route chops, explosive ability and open-field instincts to be a deadly playmaker. Reed and Love’s connection is perfectly emblematic of the Packers' hyper-fast rebirth on offense. He will be right at the top of my fantasy targets for next season.
Rams cap off an all-time fantasy waiver run
In Week 17, the Los Angeles Rams locked up an NFC playoff berth and they couldn’t have done it without the impact of two unlikely young heroes. Kyren Williams ends the fantasy football season as the RB4 in Yahoo standard scoring in just two games (RB2 in points per game) and Puka Nacua finishes as the WR6.
You were a big-time winner if you went hard at them after Week 1 on waivers.
The Kyren Williams demolition tour, half-point PPR:
— scott pianowski (@scott_pianowski) December 31, 2023
- RB7, RB4, RB26, RB3, RB30, RB2. Missed four games.
- RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11, RB1 (in progress).
Not everyone could have drafted McCaffrey. Anyone could have FAABed Williams. Most impactful universally-available move.
This is purely anecdotal, but I ran into three to four teams in my own fantasy playoff runs that had both Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. I talked to multiple people who were facing the same type of squad while giving advice. It wasn't an utterly unseen stack. Imagine getting two elite-level difference-makers off the waiver wire.
That’s one way to push for a championship.
We might never see a situation like this again where two players from the same offense come off the waiver wire and finish as top-10 players. We can still learn two things here, however.
For one, if you can identify the value offense in fantasy football in the offseason, you gain a big edge. The Rams were not often discussed as this type of team but with a veteran high-end quarterback fully healthy in Matthew Stafford to elevate young playmakers and an elite-tier play-caller, they were a fantastic candidate.
Secondly, it pays to be aggressive with your FAAB early in the season. With the rest of the season waiting, it can be hard to blow it all right away. You know there will be some adds you can't even consider making down the line. However, we get some of our most valuable and most surprising revelations in Week 1. If you can adequately react to the correct information, you'll find true difference-makers worth unloading the wallet for early on. Those who went hard for Nacua and Williams are proof positive of profitable early aggression.
Mason Rudolph has been enough
Look, I said many stupid things about the ceiling of the Steelers offense. I overlooked a lot of potential pitfalls for the unit but it was because there was serious talent in the wide receiver and running back rooms. Those takes didn’t age well.
But I had no idea that Mason Rudolph was the guy we needed to get the offense unlocked.
I’m being a bit sarcastic, but there’s no denying that Rudolph has given the Steelers their most productive play behind center in 2023.
Games with 250+ passing yards this season
— Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) December 31, 2023
Mason Rudolph: 2-of-2 starts
Kenny Pickett: 1-of-12 starts
Rudolph has a passer rating north of 100 in back-to-back games. But more importantly, he’s been far more (wisely) aggressive than either of his predecessors.
In Week 17, Rudolph had a 2.8 time to throw and averaged 8.0 air yards per pass attempt. He’s willing to stand in under pressure and fire the ball downfield. George Pickens has come alive in the last two weeks. He recorded another 131 yards after taking over the game in Week 16. Even the customarily target-constricted Diontae Johnson hauled in multiple deep receptions against Seattle.
While I don’t think Rudolph is anything close to the answer for Pittsburgh’s future questions at quarterback, I at least owe him an apology for completely writing him off. He’s shined a light on the mercurial talent in this receiver room by simply giving them accurate chances downfield. At the very least, he’s served as a reason to be in on these wideouts again in 2024 if the Steelers are serious about upgrading the offensive coordinator and quarterback spot. For that reason alone, he’s been enough.
Five things I don’t care about
Previously-held limitations on CeeDee Lamb
Prior to 2023, there had been a general sense of “wanting more” from CeeDee Lamb’s statistical output. As this season winds to a close, those sentiments are ancient history.
On Saturday, he put on a complete and utter show against an overmatched Lions secondary. By the time the game ended, Lamb had locked up his spot as the Cowboys franchise leader in receptions (122) and receiving yards (1,651). He’s currently the top-scoring wideout in fantasy football.
Lamb was one of the right answers.
I have folks asking me if he should be in the Justin Jefferson tier in dynasty fantasy football — and even ranked ahead of the Vikings wideout. If you don’t play in that format, the gravity of that sentence may not hit but essentially Jefferson’s place atop the receiver rankings was nearly untouchable. Maybe I’m being a prisoner of the moment but I think it’s worth a conversation.
Lamb has more than graduated into the elite tier of NFL wide receivers. He’s among the best in the game and is a spectacular separator against every form of coverage at every level. Unlike Jefferson, I know for sure who will be throwing him the ball next season and can project his partnership with Dak Prescott for multiple seasons to come.
Final note on this: CeeDee Lamb made noise after the 49ers loss, stating that he wasn't getting enough work. It's hard to remember now but this Cowboys offense was not making him the focal point of the passing game to start the season and the on-field product was suffering. It was clearly an issue and the receiver called it out. His opportunity was not in line with his ability. Targets aren't just earned — they need to be assigned and Dallas wasn't doing a good enough job there. It was easy to see.
Said a lot of dumb things this season, I say a lot of dumb things every season, but charting CeeDee Lamb today and I feel really good about calling for the Cowboys offense to revolve around CeeDee right before Week 6...when they did exactly that and went on a tear. It was so… https://t.co/ila2y8pUeo
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 12, 2023
So let this serve as a reminder when we want to criticize receivers for making noise about their lack of opportunity. Sometimes, these guys are right and they can help their team win by getting more work. That’s especially true when said receiver is an obvious stone-cold baller who is almost always open like CeeDee Lamb. What an incredible season for the fourth-year receiver.
The Eagles' talent
A few weeks ago, in this very same column, my stance on the Eagles was that even if they were playing below their record while beating subpar teams, they’d eventually be fine because they have better players than most of their opponents.
At this point, my stance has well since changed.
The warning signs have been building for weeks. A Week 17 loss to the now 4-12 Cardinals that dramatically helps their NFC rivals sounds the panic alarms.
The Eagles offense had their moments. Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, including two to Julio Jones. They had an efficient day on the ground in a plus matchup. But they weren't perfect; they haven't been on that side of the ball all season. We know that's a massive issue for the Eagles at this stage of their season because the defense gives this team zero margin for error.
Kyler Murray became just the latest quarterback to tear apart the Eagles' pass defense. His 116.7 passer rating was easily his best since returning to the NFL field in early November. He hadn’t completed over 67% of his throws in any game. He checked in with 80.6% in Week 17. Murray had gone under 6.5 yards per attempt in all of his previous four games. The Eagles afforded him a 7.5 average.
Murray and the Cardinals found this level of passing success without their No. 1 receiver in Marquise Brown and their breakout tight end recording just 48 yards on seven targets. Eight Cardinals caught a pass against the Eagles. They could burn this defense in any such way.
Again, none of this is new. The Eagles' pass defense has been an issue all year long. The more troubling part is that the run defense has completely fallen apart as the season comes to a close.
James Conner became the latest bell-cow back to barrel through this front seven. He took his 26 carries for 128 yards and a score. Even backup running back Michael Carter averaged a whopping 8.7 yards per carry. The Eagles employ many proven veterans and several highly drafted players in the front four. And yet it was Arizona that controlled the line of scrimmage.
The Eagles defense is beyond a problem. It’s a key part of their identity and a crippling factor in their disappointing season. The offense has to cover for it and nothing that side of the ball has shown this season over the last two months gives you faith they can be that dominant of a group. And with No. 2 receiver DeVonta Smith leaving the game on crutches in a walking boot, that assignment is only going to get more complicated if he has to miss time.
Talent can trump all when that talent is available and playing to the height of its power. That just hasn’t been true of the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles.
Bucs offense when they’re off-script
Of course, the week I made a big deal about Baker Mayfield being my biggest miss of the 2023 season on the podcast, the Bucs laid an egg against an inferior Saints team at home. That said, I don’t think this offense is the biggest concern around this team. That would be the defense.
The Bucs can still win the NFC South if they merely beat the lowly Panthers next week. They should get the job done and overall, are still the best option to represent this division in the postseason. They have the most intriguing ceiling when the offense is cooking. There’s just next to no shot anyone can take them seriously against playoff-level competition with that defense.
Even if the Cowboys and Eagles, the two teams they’d likely face in Round 1 of the postseason, have their issues, both teams have the skill-position talent to rip apart that defense. Maybe with the serious concerns the Eagles are facing with their own stop unit the Bucs would have a chance to win in a shootout but it’s a stretch.
This Week 17 result was a reminder that when you can push the Tampa Bay offense behind the action by multiple scores in negative game script, you won’t get their best in return. Turnover creeps into Mayfield's game and what’s starting to develop into a solid run game with Rachaad White becomes irrelevant.
Justin Fields’ flaws
Justin Fields is not perfect. Anyone can see that. He takes too many sacks and isn’t always perfectly in rhythm in the underneath passing game.
I care about those flaws, but not enough to dissuade a quarterback-needy team that isn't in a position to take a top rookie prospect from a pursuit of the soon-to-be former Bears passer.
With the Panthers' loss today, Chicago officially netted the first overall pick in the draft. It’s nothing short of a coup to acquire a future first and for that pick to become the top selection. Twists of fate don’t always bend to this level of fortune. The Bears know that and will likely cash in that lottery ticket to restart the quarterback clock. Fields is a known commodity and the rookies are not but the upside of Caleb Williams or Drake Maye will be too enticing to pass up.
That will put Fields on the move and they can get a decent return for him. Sam Darnold was once traded for a future second-round pick and additional selections. This would be a similar type of swap out for young quarterbacks but Fields has been much better than Darnold was in New York to start his career.
Fields appears to be ending the 2023 season on a high note. As Week 17 comes to a close, he is second behind only Lamar Jackson in quarterback rushing yards despite only playing 12 games, and more importantly, he vaulted DJ Moore to a career season. Moore sits at 1,300 yards receiving and nine total scores, both career-high marks. Fields and Moore were excellent at slicing apart man coverage, an excellent signal for the passers’ future endeavors.
Fields isn’t the picture-perfect franchise solution for his next team but he’s some level of an answer. There will be teams out there that aren’t in range for a difference-making rookie who should come calling on Fields. Some of those teams will actually offer superior offensive line play, offense-centric coaching staffs and perhaps a deep set of wide receivers — the Bears got next to nothing from anyone beyond Moore — than what Fields experienced in Chicago.
The Jaguars win
I shouldn’t be so hard on Jacksonville. I often say that blowout wins can tell us something and great teams demolish bad teams. Well, the Jaguars indeed swept away the Panthers with relative ease. However, I’m not sure beating a team this deep into chaos, where their owner apparently throws drinks into a crowd, moves me much.
This video appears to show Panthers owner David Tepper throwing the contents of a drinking cup in the direction of (presumably) a Jaguars fan today. This is shocking. https://t.co/xv3du6hJlp
— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) December 31, 2023
Any good vibes Carolina enjoyed last week in an upset win while Bryce Young put up career-best passing numbers were quickly wiped away this week. Even if Jacksonville’s offense struggled to move the ball, the Panthers just went nowhere on their side. They officially sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Chicago Bears with Sunday’s result.
The Jaguars were able to get a big play out of the run game with Travis Etienne Jr. on a 62-yard touchdown scamper. That was a welcome sign for a team that’s struggled to run the ball for months. The run blocking has been a mess at times but much like the issues in the passing game, you can chalk up most of the issues to overall design. Etienne got out in space on this run, where he’s at his best. There just hasn’t been enough of that this season.
Press Taylor kept this guy under 4.0 YPC for an entire season https://t.co/t719vJDPIH
— Mario Puig (@ThePostingScout) December 31, 2023
At least he closed things out for his fantasy managers. His fantasy numbers have mostly been a mirage and not even close to indicative of the health of Jacksonville’s run game. Nevertheless, he rewarded gamers with a hammer shot in Week 17.
Given the matchup, I just struggle to put much stock into a new wrinkle like this. It would be great to see more of this from Jacksonville as they head into a postseason push. So, do it again. Go out and run on the Titans, who so often sell out to stop ground games, in Week 18. Make a statement before heading into the NFL playoffs — because doing it to the Panthers just doesn’t move the needle. | https://www.k99online.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:08Z |

After months of war, young Israelis hope for 'new beginning' in 2024
Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system intercepts a salvo of rockets fired from the southern Gaza Strip in December 2023
Seconds after ringing in the new year on a lively street in Tel Aviv, some young Israelis found themselves running for cover while others kept the party going with a shrug as missile defence systems intercepted a barrage of rockets overhead.
The attack at the stroke of midnight, just as many were trying to forget about the war in the Gaza Strip, seemed to underscore the fatigue at the ongoing fighting expressed by many of the young revellers gathered to celebrate New Year's Eve.
"We were all afraid on the corners... my heart was pounding," Gabriel Zemelman, 26, said in front of a bar after the rocket fire.
"It's not like the usual life you imagine, even me who was born here," he added. "It's terrifying. You just saw the life we live, it's crazy."
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for the attack in a video published on social media, saying they had fired M90 rockets in "response to the massacres of civilians" carried out by Israel.
The Israeli army confirmed the attack, without initially reporting any casualties or damage.
The street in Tel Aviv was crowded with partiers on Sunday night in spite of the ongoing war in Gaza, which has dragged on for nearly three months.
Gelerenter, a 17-year-old student, said she had initially been "afraid" to come out, but ultimately decided to join her friends to celebrate "a new beginning" for 2024.
Musician Boaz Bates said he was "praying for peace, for people to stop hating each other and come together".
The 25-year-old was sharply critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, noting that "at the end of the day, it's not them who are on the ground fighting".
- 'Get on with our lives' -
Ido Hurvitz had come out for dinner at a restaurant before going to a private party to ring in the new year. He said he hoped "we can learn to live together, because most of us want peace".
Despite the festive atmosphere, the 24-year-old technology student said his own feelings were lukewarm: "Our country is at war, but we have to get on with our lives, that's our way of winning."
Beside him, 24-year-old reservist Shir Taitou, also had mixed feelings, explaining that she had wanted to come out, but was "sad" that some of her friends were mobilised in Gaza.
The war was triggered by Hamas's bloody October 7 attacks on Israel, which left around 1,140 people dead, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Militants also took around 250 people hostage, most of whom remain in Gaza.
In response, Israel launched a devastating offensive in the Gaza Strip, reducing vast areas of Gaza to a ruined wasteland and killing at least 21,822 people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
In front of one Tel Aviv bar, people danced in the street to blaring techno music under a large sign that read "Bring them home now!" -- a reference to the hostages.
Some didn't have the heart to party, like server Ran Stahl, 24, who opted to work the New Year's party.
"I dressed well tonight because I need to get my head above water," he said, explaining that one of his friends was among those killed on October 7 at the Supernova music festival.
Since then, he hasn't felt "allowed" to have fun, he said.
"The minute I start to dance, I feel guilty -- the sadness and mourning come back." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-12915701/After-months-war-young-Israelis-hope-new-beginning-2024.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T04:13:13Z |

The Israeli Air Force conducted air strikes on Sunday morning against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, targeting areas in the village of Ramyeh which the IDF identified as housing military buildings and infrastructure used by the terror group.
The IDF described Ramyeh as a strategic location for Hezbollah, utilized as a hub for surveillance and the execution of terror activities. The military accused Hezbollah of launching missiles from this area into Israel, while allegedly using the civilian population of the village as a shield.
Additionally, the IDF reported strikes on Hezbollah positions in Aamra and Khiam, located near the Israeli border. These strikes followed an incident where Hezbollah reportedly fired an anti-tank missile from one of these sites into the Galilee region on Shabbos.
The recent air strikes by the Israeli Air Force represent a continued escalation in the tension between Israel and Hezbollah.

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

Derek Hough & Hayley Erbert Reflect On 'Life's Challenges & Joys' of 2023
Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert have had quite the year in 2023.
Earlier this year, the longtime couple tied the knot, went out on tour, performed together on Dancing With the Stars, and went through the surprise challenge of her needing emergency brain surgery just a few weeks ago.
In end of the year posts, both Derek and Hayley looked back at the ups and downs from their year.
Keep reading to find out more…
“2023 In the face of uncertainty, this year has been a canvas of reflection, painted with the colors of life’s challenges and joys. From creative passion projects to the unforgettable celebration of love at our Jack and Jill bash.

“An honored role judging ‘Dancing With The Stars’, and a highlight paying homage to the legendary Len Goodman. Choreography awards and recognitions,” he continued. “The pinnacle of this year’s journey was committing our love to one another in a breathtaking fairytale wedding, followed by an enchanting honeymoon in Italy.”
“These experiences are treasures of gratitude, reminding us of life’s splendor and its fleeting nature,” Derek concluded. “Each day of our extraordinary journey teaches us to cherish every fleeting moment.”
Hayley shared her own recap video, sharing her gratefulness to those who have stuck by her through everything she’s faced this year.
“2023 was a year of the highest of highs and some life changing moments. I’m so grateful for the people in my life that have stood by me through it ALL. Cheers to a beautiful new year of new adventures, lots of love, and so much more life to live. ♥️” she captioned her video.
Derek sweetly commented, “My courageous quiet warrior wife . What a year we have had. So many things to be thankful for. This video brings me to tears. I’m so in awe of you and more in love with you each day.”

Both the Vikings and Packers' defenses were thinned by injuries on Sunday night, but only the Packers pounced on that advantage.
Packers starting quarterback Jordan Love picked apart the soft edges of the Vikings defense, and struck with a couple of well-timed deep balls, while building a 23-3 lead by halftime. After intermission, the Vikings looked for a spark by benching starting quarterback Jaren Hall for previously benched quarterback Nick Mullens.
Love broke open the Vikings defense by finding a wide-open Packers receiver Jayden Reed, whose 33-yard touchdown started his 89-yard, two-touchdown first half. Reed later left the game with a chest injury.
The Vikings also gave the Packers' offense a launch pad. Hall, the fifth-round rookie making his second NFL start, committed two turnovers in his own territory, a fumble and an interception. The Packers turned both blunders into touchdowns.
Hall was benched at halftime after he didn't complete a pass until the second quarter against the Packers' 23rd-ranked defense.
Mullens, who had been benched after throwing four interceptions in last week's loss to the Lions, replaced Hall.
The Vikings were down two defensive starters in cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. (knee) and outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum (quad), who was placed on injured reserve this week.
Outside linebacker Patrick Jones II started for Wonnum. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores had to get creative on third downs, when an extra edge rusher is typically subbed in for pass rush. Instead of rookie Andre Carter II, who played sparingly and struggled, rookie safety Jay Ward entered the game, which allowed linebacker Jordan Hicks or Ivan Pace Jr. to rush the passer from the line.
Cornerback Mekhi Blackmon, the third-round rookie, started again for Murphy, who missed a second game because of a knee injury suffered Dec. 16 in Cincinnati.
Green Bay played without linebacker De'Vondre Campbell and cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes because of injuries and Alexander's suspension.
The Packers started cornerbacks Carrington Ballentine — a seventh-round rookie — and Corey Ballentine — a fifth-year journeyman. Ballentine intercepted Hall's pass that was tipped into the air by Vikings tight end Johnny Mundt.
Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie left the game and was evaluated for a concussion.
Chandler's backfield
This is running back Ty Chandler's backfield. He made his second straight start, his first since running back Alexander Mattison was no longer on the injury report due to the Dec. 10 ankle sprain. Chandler handled the first couple of drives before Mattison spelled him in the second quarter.
Chandler had 51 yards from scrimmage on his first 10 touches — which he compiled by the time Mattison had two carries.
Wright's struggles continue
The crowd even turned on punter Ryan Wright in the first half following a 30-yard shank that flew out of bounds and blew a chance to pin the Packers deep. Wright also overhit a 68-yard punt that resulted in a touchback in the first quarter.
Wright entered Sunday ranked 19th in net average (41.6 yards) and 31st in punts downed inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
Etc.
- The Vikings entered Week 17 with the NFL's least-penalized defense averaging roughly one flag each week. But they drew three penalties in the first half, including two — holding on defensive tackle Harrison Phillips and illegal hands to the face on defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard — during a Packers touchdown drive in the second quarter.
- Safety Harrison Smith carried a Vikings flag out of the tunnel during pregame introductions, marking the 22nd career game for No. 22 against the Packers.
- Quarterback Kirk Cousins and his 5-year-old son, Cooper, fired up the crowd before kickoff by ripping off their shirts and sounding the Gjallarhorn.
- Right tackle Brian O'Neill returned from a two-game absence because of a sprained ankle. Right guard Ed Ingram left with a shoulder injury in the third quarter and was replaced by Blake Brandel.
- Safety Lewis Cine, the 2022 first-round pick, was active for just the sixth time this season. But rookie cornerback Jaylin Williams, who was elevated from the practice squad, got reps on special teams over Cine. | https://www.startribune.com/vikings-swap-quarterbacks-packers-nick-mullens-jaren-hall-joe-barry/600331652/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:14Z |
When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.k99online.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:15Z |
On New Year's Day, India started a new mission to solve what is among the oldest mysteries of the universe - black holes. At 9.10 am, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched the XPoSAT or X-ray Polarimeter Satellite mission from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
The 260-tonne Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) started its 60th flight today. The rocket carries an advanced astronomy
observatory meant to study black holes and neutron stars. With this, India has become only the second country after the US to have an 'observatory' to study black holes.
Using X-ray photons and their polarisation, XPoSAT will help study the radiation from near black holes and neutron stars. It carries two payloads -- POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing).
The satellite will measure polarisation of X-rays in the energy band 8-30keV emanating from about 50 potential cosmic sources through Thomson Scattering by POLIX payload.
It will carry out long term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources. It will also carry out polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emissions from cosmic sources through POLIX and XSPECT payloads.
When stars run out of fuel and 'die', they collapse under their own gravity and leave behind black holes or neutron stars. Black holes have the highest gravitational force in the universe, and neutron stars have the highest densities.
Gathering more information on this, the mission will help unravel the mysteries of the ultra-extreme environments in space.
The XPoSat satellite cost around Rs 250 crore (approximately $30 million). The NASA IXPE -- which is on a similar mission since 2021 -- cost $188 million. The Indian satellite is expected to last more than five years, compared to the two-year life span of the NASA IXPE. | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/xposat-launch-isro-launches-mission-to-study-black-holes-2nd-after-nasa-to-do-so-4778881 | 2024-01-01T04:13:17Z |

Taiwan's President Tsai urges China to seek 'peaceful coexistence'
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen expressed hopes on Monday for Taipei and Beijing to seek 'long-term peaceful coexistence' in her final New Year's speech in office
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen expressed hopes on Monday for Taipei and Beijing to seek "long-term peaceful coexistence" and said future relations should be decided by Taiwan's "democratic procedures".
Taiwan is less than two weeks from an election, closely watched from Beijing to Washington as it determines the future of the self-ruled island's relations with an increasingly bellicose China.
Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory to be seized one day.
It has halted high-level communications with Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government since her 2016 election, and ramped up military, diplomatic and economic pressure on the island.
In her last New Year speech before leaving office in May, Tsai expressed hopes to restart communications with Beijing.
"We hope that the two sides (of the Taiwan Strait) will resume healthy and sustainable exchanges as soon as possible," she said.
"We also hope that the two sides will jointly seek a long-term and stable way of peaceful coexistence under peace, parity, democracy and dialogue."
But Tsai -- whom Beijing hates as she has refused to acknowledge China's territorial claims -- also stood firm on Taiwan's need to defend its democracy.
"Facing the renewed conflict between democracy, freedom and authoritarianism around the world, Taiwan's only choice in the future is still to continue to uphold democracy and protect peace."
Tsai was also asked to comment on Chinese President Xi Jinping's New Year's Eve speech, in which he said Taiwan "will surely be reunified" with China.
"Decisions must be made with the common will of the Taiwanese people. We are a democratic country after all," she told reporters after her speech.
"What kind of relationship we will form with China in the future must be determined by our democratic procedures to make the final decision."
Xi has previously said China would never rule out the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control.
Tsai's ruling DPP has largely campaigned on a platform of sovereignty separate from China, and their candidate, Vice President Lai Ching-te, has in past described himself as a "pragmatic worker of Taiwan independence".
Opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party's candidate Hou Yu-ih and Taiwan People's Party Ko Wen-je have pledged friendlier ties with China, saying Lai's pro-independence remarks could undermine Taiwan's security. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-12915723/Taiwans-President-Tsai-urges-China-seek-peaceful-coexistence.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T04:13:20Z |
Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Changes 'American Idiot' Lyric During New Year's Eve Performance, Swaps Out 'Redneck Agenda'
Green Day hit the stage for a performance on the 2024 Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on Sunday night (December 31)!
The trio performed two of their hit songs – “American Idiot” and “Holiday” – from their 2004 album American Idiot during the pre-taped performances from the Hollywood portion of the segment.
During “American Idiot,” lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong changed up one of the lyrics to make it more timely to today’s political climate.
Keep reading to find out more…
In the second verse, the lyrics normally say, “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda,” but he changed the lyric to say, “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.”
Green Day and Billie Joe are no strangers to taking a political stance and have often used their music to make statements.
In 2017, they called out former Donald Trump their song “Troubled Times.”
Back in June 2022, Billie Joe declared he was moving to the UK after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Russia launched a fresh drone assault on Ukraine after promising that strikes on the Russian border city of Belgorod that killed 24 people Saturday “would not go unpunished.”
The Ukrainian Air Force said Sunday that it had shot down 21 of 49 drones launched by Russian forces overnight.
The retaliatory Russian attack wounded 28 people in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said. A hotel, kindergarten, apartment buildings, shops and administrative buildings sustained damage, according to the regional prosecutor’s office.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it had targeted “decision-making centers and military facilities” in Kharkiv. The ministry said the hit on the Kharkiv Palace Hotel had “destroyed representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate and Ukrainian Armed Forces” involved in the “terrorist attack” in Belgorod.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said a British journalist was among the wounded, while public German broadcaster ZDF said Sunday that one of its television crews had been in the hotel. A Ukrainian translator was hit by debris and seriously wounded, and one of the team’s security guards also was injured, ZDF said in a statement.
“This is another attack by Russia on the free press,” ZDF Editor-in-Chief Bettina Schausten said.
In the Kyiv region that surrounds Ukraine’s capital, a Russian drone attack caused a fire at a critical infrastructure facility, local officials said. They did not identify the nature of the facility.
Russian troops additionally shelled the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Sunday, killing a 14-year-old boy and leaving a 9-year-old boy hospitalized in critical condition with a brain injury, according to regional Gov. Oleksandr Prokudin.
On Saturday, shelling in the center of Belgorod killed two dozen people, including three children. Another 108 people were wounded in the strike, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said Sunday, making the attack one with the most casualties on Russian soil since the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine 22 months ago.
Russian authorities accused Ukraine of carrying out the attack, which took place the day after an 18-hour Russian aerial bombardment across Ukraine killed at least 41 civilians.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it identified the ammunition used in the strike as Czech-made Vampire rockets and Olkha missiles fitted with cluster-munition warheads. It provided no additional information, and The Associated Press was unable to verify its claims.
“This crime will not go unpunished,” the ministry said in a statement on social media.
In an emergency Saturday night meeting of the U.N. Security Council demanded by Russia, envoy Vasily Nebenzya accused Kyiv of a “terrorist attack.” In comments carried by Russian state media, Nebenzya claimed Ukraine had launched “a deliberate act of terrorism directed against civilians.”
Ukrainians are bracing for further attacks. A blistering New Year’s Eve assault by Russia last year killed at least three civilians.

AFL: West Coast Eagles, Fremantle Dockers’ nine burning questions in season 2024
2024 is a decisive year for the leaders at Fremantle and West Coast.
Neither club will be eager to remember 2023 and have embraced moving forward, but they must heed the lessons and find early success to keep the pressure off.
The Dockers must find a way to get back on the finals train after taking a step back last season, and getting the best from skipper Alex Pearce, as well as star rucks Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson, will be critical.
For West Coast, the equation is simply to be competitive.
They don’t need to be finals contenders, but they can’t afford to be the easy beats that lose by 100 points.
These are the burning questions facing the WA clubs in 2024.
9. Can Pearce silence his critics?
Fremantle moved quickly to reaffirm Alex Pearce as club captain during the off-season despite the club underperforming in 2023, missing finals. Pearce struggled in the first half of the season and didn’t find his feet until it was too late. With highly-touted young leaders Caleb Serong and Andrew Brayshaw waiting in the wings, Pearce will need to make a strong statement in the early rounds to shed his nay-sayers.
8. Are two captains better than one for the Eagles?
West Coast pulled a surprise when naming Luke Shuey’s successor. Oscar Allen and Liam Duggan will be dual captains as the club looks to pull themselves off the bottom of the table. They will be under plenty of pressure leading a young rebuilding side and need to be leaders both on and off the field, answering the hard questions.
7. Will more veterans be out the door at West Coast?
The Eagles lost three club legends in 2023, with Luke Shuey, Shannon Hurn and Nic Naitanui all calling time on their illustrious careers. But there could be a few more set to join them. Andrew Gaff is the most likely to retire at 31, and with his performance declining, while Jeremy McGovern may also be a candidate due to constant injuries. West Coast will also be eager to continue freeing up list spots for young talent to accelerate the rebuild.
6. What does 2024 look like for Fyfe?
The Dockers’ dual Brownlow medallist was again frustrated by injury in 2023 and will be raring for a full crack this season. The veteran is still backed by the playing group as one of their best, but he does not have a clear role in the side. The Dockers have used him as a forward in recent seasons despite Fyfe’s preference for the engine room. Could a hybrid role be on the cards in 2024?
5. Can the Unicorn make room for Sean Darcy in the ruck?
Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson are set to lead Fremantle in the ruck for the remainder of the decade after signing monster contracts, but can they find a way to feed off each other rather than hinder each other’s mojo? Darcy appeared diminished when sharing the duties in 2023, while Jackson felt underutilised remaining up forward. Finding a split and secondary role for the pair could be the most vital part of the Dockers’ off-season.
4. Can Pyke make a difference?
Former Eagles champion Don Pyke comes into West Coast with big shoes to fill after Trevor Nisbett called time on his reign. And he has an even bigger rebuild ahead of him. Pyke has plenty of AFL experience from playing and coaching and will need to draw on all of it to start turning the club around quickly. The fans will expect an improvement on five wins in two years, and their impatience could weigh on the new CEO.
3. Will Freo return to finals?
Fremantle fans were left bitterly disappointed in 2023 after the Dockers failed to reach September after a superb run to the semifinals in 2022. 2022’s finals appearance was the first since 2015 and optimism was high for last season. But a terrible start to the year cruelled Fremantle’s hopes, and it was only a historically torrid season from their crosstown rivals that kept the blowtorch off them. Heads will be on the block if they miss again this season.
2. Can Harley live up to the hype?
Being the most highly-touted 18-year-old in the country has its benefits, but Harley Reid will have to face the pressure that comes with the hype in 2024. After being taken with the No.1 pick by the struggling Eagles, he will have plenty of pressure to perform from the start. He is likely to play from round one and will be given lots of time and support from the club, but there will also be plenty of people who will feel the need to bring him down a peg as he makes his way in the cutthroat league.
1. Will Simmo survive?
Adam Simpson was on the edge of the guillotine for most of 2023 but was backed by the club to at least see out his contract. The premiership-winning coach has achieved great things at West Coast, but after a steady decline, the club has plunged off a cliff in the last two seasons. Everyone understands a rebuild, but the club can’t afford to be as uncompetitive as they were in 2023, and with a horror start to their 2024 campaign, Simpson could be back under the guillotine in the first half of the year.

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

Aussies face do-or-die clash against reigning United Cup champions
Ajla Tomljanovic and Alex de Minaur will look to rebound from singles defeats to Great Britain when Australia meets Team USA at the United Cup.
Perth, Australia, 31 December 2023 | Dan Imhoff
Ajla Tomljanovic and Alex de Minaur will look to turn their respective singles fortunes when Australia bids to keep its United Cup campaign alive against Team USA on Monday night.
Top-10 Americans Jessica Pegula and Taylor Fritz guided their nation to success in the inaugural competition in 2023 and eked out a 2-1 victory over Great Britain on Sunday.
They present a sizeable challenge after the Australians dropped both singles matches in a 2-1 defeat to Great Britain on Friday night.
After denying the Brits in the mixed doubles, West Australians Storm Hunter and Matt Ebden require their singles counterparts to secure at least one of their showdowns to give them a chance at closing it out and keeping their team in the hunt for the quarterfinals.
Having missed most of last season due to a knee injury, Tomljanovic found positives in her loss to Katie Boulter at RAC Arena on Friday and was determined to return to the practice court comfortable in the knowledge she had competed pain-free.
“I think last time we played, Jess was a very different player,” said Tomljanovic, whose two wins against the American came more than 12 years ago.
“She’s been pretty much at the top of the game now for the last five years. She’s a very tough player and I think playing someone that high of a quality in two days will help me get there quicker because you’re forced to.
“Your back’s against the wall when you play against quality players like that. There’s no room for error and I think it’s good for me. I’m excited.”
> READ: De Minaur, Tomljanovic fall short in United Cup opener
The 29-year-old Pegula – who lost her opening singles match on Sunday to Boulter – was the world No.3 this time last year when she went unbeaten in Team USA’s United Cup triumph.
It was a far cry from Tomljanovic’s predicament after she missed the entire Australian summer.
“Obviously she had all that momentum after beating Serena (at US Open 2022) and having a great year, and then to see her get sidelined by injury again is always tough,” Pegula said.
“She lives in Florida pretty close to me. Yeah, we actually were supposed to practise a few weeks ago before she came here but we got rained out so it didn’t happen.
“It’s nice to see her back playing well. To me, she’s a top-20 player, for sure. She’s really solid and not really much weakness anywhere. She’s a really great competitor.”
World No.11 De Minaur is ranked just one place below Fritz and will bid to capitalise better on his chances than he was able to in his opening defeat to Cameron Norrie.
The Australian owns a 4-3 record against Fritz, including a win in their sole meeting last year en route to the Toronto Masters final.
“Now it’s about bouncing back,” he said. “Kind of water off a duck’s back. Move on. Yeah, I’ve got that match to look forward to, and, you know, hopefully I can come out and bring a high level and perform for my country in front of this crowd in Perth.”
Like Pegula, Fritz was part of the successful Team USA campaign at United Cup 2023 but was cautious facing the host nation in his first outing of the new season.
The American opened his United Cup campaign with a convincing win over Norrie on Sunday before he and Pegula ground out a match tiebreak for a 2-1 victory.
“It will be a fun one. Playing Demon in Australia is going to be a tough one, for sure,” he said. “I feel like he always brings a lot of energy and plays really well, especially at this time of the year.
“I’m not too surprised with how good of a year he had last year. And when we were younger, I mean, he absolutely owned me (smiling). Took me a long time before I was able to beat him.”

Concerns about tourist overload are prompting more Venice residents to consider relocating.
Venice is set to prohibit the use of loudspeakers and limit tourist groups to a maximum of 25 people to mitigate the impact of mass tourism on the Italian city. These new regulations, scheduled to take effect in June, aim to address issues of confusion and disturbances caused by loudspeakers, as reported by the BBC, quoting a statement from the city.
Overtourism is acknowledged as a pressing concern for Venice, one of Europe's most visited destinations. In September, the city implemented a trial for a fine of approximately 5 Euros (Rs 460) for daily visitors.
The recent measures aim to improve the management of organised groups in the historical centre, as quoted by Elisabetta Pesce, the official with responsibility for the city's security.
Despite its modest size of 7.6 sq km (2.7 sq miles), Venice welcomed nearly 13 million tourists in 2019, according to the Italian National Statistics Institute.
Concerns about tourist overload are prompting more Venice residents to consider relocating. Citizen associations are conducting studies to monitor bed availability for both tourists and locals.
In July, UNESCO experts proposed adding Venice to the list of endangered world heritage sites due to climate change and mass tourism. Although Venice was not included on the list, Italian Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano highlighted recognition for efforts to address issues, such as implementing an anti-flooding system and approving an entry fee for tourists, as reported by the BBC.
In 2021, large cruise ships were barred from entering Venice's historic centre following pollution concerns and potential damage to the city's foundations after a ship collision in the Giudecca canal. | https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/venice-set-to-prohibit-large-tourist-groups-loudspeakers-4775917 | 2024-01-01T04:13:23Z |
WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were injured after an argument at a Walmart store in Michigan escalated into gunfire on Sunday, authorities said.
The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported. It was also unclear whether the suspects and the male victim knew one another, according to the television station. | https://www.k99online.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:22Z |

Look what you made Taylor Swift do to her NFL style game.
While cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs' home game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 31, the "Blank Space" singer wore a cream and black varsity jacket with the team's logo, customized with a patch that appeared to read, "Tay-Tay."
Kelce, 34, had sported a nearly identical jacket—minus the patch and with different trim—last week when he arrived at Arrowhead for the Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders, as seen in a photo shared on his and the NFL's Instagram pages.

Swift paired her jacket with black pants worn over matching stiletto boots at the game, which the Chiefs won 25-17.
This marked the ninth time the 34-year-old has been seen at Kelce's games since the two began dating over the summer. She has so far showcased a variety of stylish outfits incorporating various pieces of Chiefs apparel during her outings.
Entertainment News
The Grammy winner had previously attended the Chiefs' Dec. 25 game and made that event a full family affair, bringing along for the first time both of her parents at the same time—with her mom Andrea Swift making her debut—as well as her brother Austin Swift. Taylor Swift's mom and her dad Scott Swift were spotted chatting with Travis Kelce's dad Ed Kelce at the event.
Both Taylor Swift's dad and brother have accompanied her to Chiefs games before. Travis Kelce, 34, recently revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce's podcast "New Heights" that Austin Swift gave him a holiday gift while dressed as Santa during the Christmas Day game.
"He made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag—in the Santa sack," the Chiefs tight end said. "And handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time: Little Giants."
Meanwhile, the power couple's romance has received a stamp of approval from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.
"We're so happy," she said, "and excited for them." | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/taylor-swift-matches-travis-kelces-jacket-at-chiefs-nye-game/4995234/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:24Z |

Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram each score 26 points, Pelicans top Lakers 129-109
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Zion Williamson has no interest in forgetting the New Orleans Pelicans' most embarrassing loss of the season.
Memories of the 133-89 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the In-Season Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas on Dec. 7 are painful, Williamson said, but the sluggish performance might also have been a "blessing in disguise."
Williamson and Brandon Ingram each scored 26 points and the Pelicans beat the road-weary Lakers 129-109 on Sunday night to improve to 7-3 since leaving Las Vegas.
"It definitely brought us together more as a team," Williamson said. "I feel like we´ve been playing great since then. We´ve still got some things to figure out, but so does every other team."
Los Angeles was coming off a 108-106 loss at Minnesota on Saturday night, while New Orleans was off two days after beating Utah at home Thursday night.
LeBron James scored 34 points and former Pelican Anthony Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds, but they didn´t get enough help as the Lakers lost for the seventh time in nine games.

"We have to figure it out and get better, for sure," James said. "We're not one team that likes to play from behind. We've been in that position a lot this year.
"The flight last night did not help, obviously," added James, who played through flu-like symptoms on Saturday and Sunday. "We didn't get to the hotel last until 3:45 (a.m.). So, it was a rough day trying to recalibrate and get ready for the game. But I'm happy I was able to go out and just try to make some plays happen for my team."
The Pelicans had the look of a team seeking redemption for it's previous dud against the Lakers - and played with vigor in front of a packed and festive New Year´s Eve crowd.
"The way we lost the game, you want to redeem yourself," Pelicans coach Willie Green said. "We talked about it the last coupe days and watched some film on it - as hard as it was."
CJ McCollum added 22 points for the Pelicans, who led by 19 points and responded to each comeback bid with the help of 50% 3-point shooting (17 of 34) as a team and crafty 6-foot guard Jose "Grand Theft" Alvarado's four steals and and two blocks.
Alvarado is "one of our emotional leaders and his ability to impact this team with his energy, his effort, it was huge tonight," Green said. "It´s a blessing to have a guy like that on your team who can really ignite the whole building."
It was the fourth time that New Orleans' "Big Three" - Williamson, Ingram and McCollum - each scored 20 or more in one game, including once last season and three times in the past month. The Pelicans are 4-0 in such games.
"Not only are they scoring, but they´re sharing the ball with each other and their teammates," Green said. "That´s the trust factor we have to have."
Larry Nance Jr. had 11 points and 10 rebounds in just his second game back from a rib injury. Herb Jones and Jonas Valanciunas each scored 13 points.
The Lakers went into the game without forward Cam Reddish (adductor) and D'Angelo Russell (back), while the Pelicans were without one of their top 3-point shooters in Trey Murphy III (left knee). All were day-to-day.
Then Lakers forward Rui Hachimura left the game in the first half with a left calf strain.
Despite missing Murphy, New Orleans was on from deep. McCollum made five early 3s and finished with six. Jones made three 3s from the right corner in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Alvarado delighted the crowd by picking the pockets of both James and Davis during the second quarter, when New Orleans led by 19 points.
"LeBron, that´s one of the greatest players to ever play this game and for me to be on the court, for me to get steals, for me to do anything, that´s pretty amazing," said Alvarado, who was undrafted out of Georgia Tech. "When I get back to watch videos when I grow old, and they say that (James) is the best player to play this game, at least I got a video of him (with me) getting a steal."
James had 21 of his points in the first half and Davis had 13 in the opening 24 minutes.
But the Pelicans hit 10 of 17 3s in the first two periods, and took a 74-57 halftime lead after Ingram's block of Max Christie's shot ignited a fast break finished by Nance's layup.

Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Russia’s “united society” in his prerecorded New Year’s address to the nation, the country’s state news agencies reported Sunday.
Putin addressed Russians in a video that ran under four minutes long, significantly shorter than the New Year’s speech he gave last year, according to state news agency RIA Novosti. Millions of people were expected to watch the new address when it airs on TV as each Russian time zone region counts down the final minutes of 2023 on Sunday.
The first to see it were residents of the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Chukotka region in Russia’s Far East, some nine hours ahead of Moscow.
Returning to tradition after speaking flanked by soldiers last year, Putin delivered his address to the nation against the backdrop of a snowy Kremlin. In remarks carried by RIA Novosti, he described 2023 as a year marked by high levels of unity in Russian society.
“What united us and unites us is the fate of the Fatherland, a deep understanding of the highest significance of the historical stage through which Russia is passing,” the president said. He also lauded Russian citizens’ “solidarity, mercy and fortitude.”
The nearly 2-year-old war in Ukraine was front and center in the address, with Putin directly addressing Russia’s armed forces involved in what the Kremlin has termed its “special military operation” in the neighboring country.
“We are proud of you, you are heroes, you feel the support of the entire people,” the president said. According to state media, he emphasized that Russia would never retreat and asserted there was no force that could divide Russians and stop the country’s development.
The address’ broadcast comes a day after shelling in the center of the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, including three children. Another 108 people were wounded, Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said Sunday, making the attack one with the most casualties on Russian soil since the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine 22 months ago.
As last year, New Year’s celebrations were toned down in Moscow, with the traditional fireworks and concert on Red Square canceled. After the shelling in Belgorod, local authorities in the Pacific port city of Vladivostok and other places across Russia also canceled their usual New Year’s firework displays.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council and former Russian president, also congratulated Russians on the New Year. In video remarks posted to Telegram, he said that “thoughts and hearts are with those at the front” and that the past year had required “a special stability and unity, and true patriotism” from Russia.
Medvedev also called on Russians to “make 2024 the year of the final defeat of neo-fascism,” repeating Putin’s claims of invading Ukraine to fight “neo-Nazis.” The Holocaust, World War II and Nazism have been important rhetorical tools for Putin in his bid to legitimize Russia’s military actions in Ukraine, but historians see their use as disinformation and a cynical ploy to further his aims.
Analysts are describing 2023 as largely a positive year for Putin.
“It’s been a good year; I would even actually call it a great year” for the Russian leader, said Mathieu Boulegue, a consulting fellow for the Russia-Eurasia program at Chatham House think tank in London.
Moscow in May won the fight for the bombed-out Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after the longest and bloodiest battle of the war. In june, Putin defused a revolt against him and reasserted his hold on the Kremlin. A Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russia started with high hopes but ended in disappointment.
As he enters 2024, Putin is wagering that the West’s support for Ukraine will gradually crumble due to political divisions, war fatigue and other diplomatic demands, such as China’s menacing of Taiwan and war in the Middle East.
Putin is seeking reelection in a March 17 presidential election that he is all but certain to win. Under constitutional reforms he orchestrated, the 71-year-old leader is eligible to seek two more six-year terms after his current term expires, potentially allowing him to remain in power until 2036.

Look what you made Taylor Swift do to her NFL style game.
While cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs' home game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 31, the "Blank Space" singer wore a cream and black varsity jacket with the team's logo, customized with a patch that appeared to read, "Tay-Tay."
Kelce, 34, had sported a nearly identical jacket—minus the patch and with different trim—last week when he arrived at Arrowhead for the Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders, as seen in a photo shared on his and the NFL's Instagram pages.

Swift paired her jacket with black pants worn over matching stiletto boots at the game, which the Chiefs won 25-17.
This marked the ninth time the 34-year-old has been seen at Kelce's games since the two began dating over the summer. She has so far showcased a variety of stylish outfits incorporating various pieces of Chiefs apparel during her outings.
Entertainment News
The Grammy winner had previously attended the Chiefs' Dec. 25 game and made that event a full family affair, bringing along for the first time both of her parents at the same time—with her mom Andrea Swift making her debut—as well as her brother Austin Swift. Taylor Swift's mom and her dad Scott Swift were spotted chatting with Travis Kelce's dad Ed Kelce at the event.
Both Taylor Swift's dad and brother have accompanied her to Chiefs games before. Travis Kelce, 34, recently revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce's podcast "New Heights" that Austin Swift gave him a holiday gift while dressed as Santa during the Christmas Day game.
"He made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag—in the Santa sack," the Chiefs tight end said. "And handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time: Little Giants."
Meanwhile, the power couple's romance has received a stamp of approval from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.

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

Storm - Faeser travels to flood area - more rain in sight
One day after Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser also wants to get an overview of the flooding in Lower Saxony. Today, the SPD politician wants to find out about the situation in Hatten-Sandkrug near Oldenburg and talk to the emergency services. Flood warnings were also issued for large parts of Lower Saxony on the first night of the new year. The authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia spoke of a respite at the turn of the year.
On Monday night, the German Weather Service (DWD) issued several warnings of heavy rain in the coming days. It said: "From the evening hours of New Year's Day, rainfall will intensify from the west and continue intermittently until Thursday". According to the weather service, increased amounts of rain could occur from Lower Saxony to the Black Forest and in the eastern low mountain ranges - up to 60 liters per square meter could fall during this period.
There is great concern that the situation in the flood areas could worsen and other parts of the country could have to contend with flooding. In addition to Lower Saxony, parts of North Rhine-Westphalia and southern Saxony-Anhalt have recently had to contend with the consequences of the heavy rainfall.
Chancellor Scholz in the flood area
Chancellor Scholz visited Verden near Bremen on New Year's Eve to find out how the floods were developing. He praised the solidarity of the many helpers, including many volunteers. This speaks for the solidarity in Germany, said the SPD politician.
The Federal Minister of the Interior is expected one day later. She will be accompanied by Lower Saxony's Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD), THW President Sabine Lackner and the President of the Federal Police, Dieter Romann. In Hatten-Sandkrug, they want to see, among other things, how a Federal Police helicopter transports large sand containers to reinforce the dykes and prevent dyke breaches.
According to the fire department on Sunday, the acute phase of securing the dyke in Hatten-Sandkrug has already been completed, meaning that residents can return to their homes. However, foot patrols will continue to monitor the dyke over the next few days.
In Saxony-Anhalt, the water level of the Elbe in Magdeburg is only rising slowly. On Sunday, the measured value at the Strombrücke bridge was 5.11 meters around midday, according to the flood forecasting center. The highest level is not expected until Monday or Tuesday with values around 5.20 meters in the state capital. The district of Mansfeld-Südharz had declared a state of emergency on Saturday.

Max Purcell primed for big Australian summer
Aussie Max Purcell is feeling excited and confident as he begins his 2024 season at the Brisbane International.
Brisbane, Australia , 31 December 2023 | Leigh Rogers
A lot can change in a year, as Max Purcell can attest.
The Australian commenced the 2023 season competing at an ATP Challenger event in Thailand, determined to improve his singles ranking of world No.220.
Now, 12 months later, Purcell is beginning his 2024 season at the ATP 250 tournament in Brisbane as the world No.45.
He has also received direct entry into the upcoming Australian Open for the first time, so doesn’t have to worry about contesting qualifying or needing a wildcard.
“I’m keen to start the new year at tour level,” Purcell told tennis.com.au.
“I feel like I belong in the top 50 now.
“But obviously everything resets at the start of the year. It doesn’t matter what you’ve brought from the previous year. Everyone’s had a break and keen to get some momentum.”
Purcell contested 145 matches (80 in singles and 65 in doubles) during his breakout 2023 season and admitted he “was quite tired” by year’s end.
But rather than return home to Sydney, Purcell decided to spend his offseason in Bali and complete a three-week training block.
“It was really humid, even more humid than Brisbane,” the 25-year-old said.
“So, I’m feeling really comfortable in the heat. It was also quite nice to get away.”
Feeling fit and refreshed, Purcell has high hopes for the 2024 season.
“(I’m) trying to cement myself in the top 50 and get some more consistent results across tour-level events,” he said.
“A couple of wins each week would be nice, rather than the one big result and then an average result.”
After managing an ankle injury throughout the second half of the 2023 season, Purcell is also “feeling more and more confident” about his on-court movement.
“I was lucky I was able to find ways to keep playing,” he said. “I’m feeling a lot better now and feeling like I can move properly, which is quite nice.”
After teaming with fellow Aussie Jordan Thompson to score a first-round doubles win against high-profile Spanish pair Rafael Nadal and Marc Lopez yesterday, Purcell begins his singles campaign today against world No.8 Holger Rune.
“(There’s no) better way to start the year than playing against the No.1 seed,” Purcell said.

Beijing: China's President Xi Jinping said Monday he was willing to work with the United States to promote stable bilateral ties, exchanging congratulations with his US counterpart on the anniversary of diplomatic relations, state media said.
Xi and US President Joe Biden met in San Francisco in November, vowing to improve communication in an effort to stop competition from spilling over into conflict.
And in an exchange of messages to mark the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Xi said both sides should "take practical actions to promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-US relations".
"Xi Jinping emphasised, I am willing to work with President Biden to continue to navigate China-US relations, benefit both China and the United States and their people, and promote world peace and development," state broadcaster CCTV said.
Xi added that "adhering to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation is the correct way for China and the United States to interact", CCTV said.

Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
The New Year’s weekend box office this year lacked a true blockbuster. (This time last year, “Avatar: The Way of Water” was inundating theaters.) Instead, a wide array of films – among them “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” “The Boys in the Boat,” “Migration,” “Ferrari,” “The Iron Claw” and “Anyone But You” – sought to break out over the year’s most lucrative box-office corridor.
The top choice, though, remained “Wonka,” Paul King’s musical starring Timothée Chalamet as a young Willy Wonka. In its third weekend, the Warner Bros. release collected an estimated $24 million Friday through Sunday and $31.8 million factoring in estimates for the Monday holiday. That brings the film’s domestical total to $142.5 million.
That bested Warner Bros.’ own “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” which, like previous DC superhero films, is struggling. James Wan’s “Aquaman” sequel starring Jason Momoa took in $19.5 million in its second weekend to bring its two-week haul to a modest $84.7 million including New Year’s Day estimates.

The original “Aquaman,” which ultimately surpassed $1.1 billion worldwide, had grossed $215.4 million over a similar period in 2018 – more than double that of the sequel. Internationally, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” added $50.5 million.
Weekend sales only tell part of the story this time of year. From Christmas through New Year’s, when kids are out of school and many adults aren’t working, every day is like Saturday to film distributors.
“The Color Purple,” Blitz Bazawule's adaptation of the 2005 stage musical from Alice Walker's novel, debuted on Monday and led all movies on Christmas with $18 million. Through the week, the Warner Bros. release has grossed $50 million, including $13 million Friday through Sunday. That’s a strong start for the crowd-pleaser starring Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson and Danielle Brooks. Audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore.

The roughly $100 million production, which boasts Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones (all from the 1985 film) as producers, should play well through awards season. It's nominated for several Golden Globes and expected to be in the Oscar mix.
“We saw this opportunity to go wide at Christmas since there were so few movies and we were confident the movie would be well received,” said Jeffrey Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. “Going into the competitive landscape that's so thin in January and February, the excitement of awards season could really help ignite a bigger box office.”
Despite a blockbuster-less holiday frame, the last weekend of the year pushed the industry past $9 billion in box office for the year in U.S. and Canadian theaters for the first time since before the pandemic. Ticket sales on the year were up 21% from 2022, according to data firm Comscore.
Still, it was a mark that seemed more easily within reach during the summer highs of Barbenheimer when both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were breaking box-office records.
The enormous success of those two films changed the trajectory of Hollywood’s 2023, but so did the monthslong actors and writers strikes. Those forced the postponement of some top films (most notably “Dune: Part Two” ), diminishing an already patchwork fall lineup with few guaranteed ticket-sellers. One exception was the last-minute addition of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which set a new record for concert films.
This year, Hollywood needed Swift and every penny to reach $9 billion. It crossed that threshold Saturday, with one day to spare. That total, though, still doesn't come close to the $11 billion-plus years that preceded the pandemic. The number of wide releases in 2023 came about 20 films shy of those released in 2019.
The production delays caused by the strikes could have an even greater impact on 2024. Several top releases have already been postponed until at least the following year, including “Mission: Impossible” and “Spider-Verse” sequels. After a rocky year for Marvel and a string of less predictable hits, Hollywood will have to hope it can adapt to changing audience tastes – and that another “Barbie” is lurking somewhere.
"It's an $11 billion business. We're climbing our way back," said Goldstein. “This next year is going to be a big challenge because of the strikes. But we're seeing very clearly in 2023, when there are movies out there that people want to see, they come.”
Meanwhile, a host of releases sought to capitalize over the holidays – and most succeeded.
“This crop of seven wide releases at the end of the year, they got us over the hump of $9 billion,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. “This final push of the year provided great insight into what audiences are looking for. It's movies big and small. It's different types of movies."
Though “Wonka” won out as the family movie choice for the holidays, Universal Pictures’ “Migration” is attracting young audiences, too. The animated movie from “Minions”-maker Illumination notched $17.2 million in 3,839 theaters in its second weekend, and $59.4 million since opening.
“The Boys in the Boat,” the George Clooney-directed sports drama, grossed $24.6 million since opening Dec. 25. The Amazon MGM Studios release, about the U.S. men’s crew in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, wasn’t a smash with critics (58% “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes) but audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore. “The Boys in the Boat,” which cost about $40 million to make, could hold well in coming weeks.
Though romantic comedies have largely migrated to streaming platforms, Sony Pictures' “Anyone But You” is proving the genre can still work in theaters. The film, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, collected $9 million in its second weekend to bring its total to $27.6 million through Monday.
Sean Durkin's wrestling drama “The Iron Claw" is also performing well. The A24 film, starring Zac Efron, Holt McCallany and Jeremy Allen White, has grossed $18 million since opening Dec. 22, including $5 million on the three-day weekend. The film dramatizes the tragic story of the Von Erich family.
Michael Mann's “Ferrari," a project the director sought to make for three decades, took in $10.9 million since launching in theaters on Monday, including $4.1 million for the weekend. While that ranks as one of the biggest debuts for indie distributor Neon, it's nowhere near what a movie that cost close to $100 million to make needs to turn a profit.
The film, starring Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, has been celebrated by critics, but appears likely to follow Mann's previous film, 2015's “Blackhat” ($19.6 million worldwide against a $70 million budget), as a commercial disappointment.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Wonka,” $24 million.
2. “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” $19.5 million.
3. “Migration,” $17.2 million.
4. “The Color Purple,” $13 million.
5. “Anyone But You,” $9 million.
6. “The Boys in the Boat,” $8.3 million.
7. “The Iron Claw,” $5 million.
8. “Ferrari,” $4.1 million.
9. “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” $2.9 million.
10. “The Boy and the Heron,” $2.5 million. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/wonka-no-1-at-box-office-again-as-2023-ends-2-billion-shy-of-pre-pandemic-sales/4995156/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:30Z |
LAREDO, Texas — Customs officers seized narcotics with an estimated street value of $10.2 million at a border crossing between Texas and Mexico, authorities said.
According to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents seized the drugs at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo on Dec. 21.
A customs officer referred a 2001 Freightliner tractor hauling a utility refrigerated trailer with a manifest of a commercial shipment of cut flowers for secondary inspection, the news release stated.
During the inspection, officers discovered 164.72 pounds of alleged methamphetamine in powder form, 854.07 pounds of alleged meth in crystal form and 165.34 pounds of alleged cocaine.
Officials estimated that the drugs had a combined street value of $10,298,520.
Agents seized the narcotics, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure, the news release stated.
“CBP is proud of the work our frontline officers do to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities,” Alberto Flores, director at the Laredo Port of Entry, said in a statement. “This significant seizure is an example of ongoing operational efforts conducted daily to protect our borders.” | https://www.k99online.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:29Z |

Seahawks lose control of playoff destiny because of poor tackling against Steelers
SEATTLE (AP) - For the second consecutive season, the Seattle Seahawks will go into the final week of the regular season needing help from others in order to reach the postseason.
Finding themselves in this situation was entirely self-inflicted this time around.
"I never imagined we´d be in this situation again, but here we are," Seattle quarterback Geno Smith said.
In control of their path to the postseason entering the week, the Seahawks (8-8) collapsed defensively on Sunday in a 30-23 loss to Pittsburgh. It was a siege of physical running from the Pittsburgh duo of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren and some awful tackling that allowed the Steelers to take control of the game.
The result left Pete Carroll disappointed, the Seattle locker room frustrated and the Seahawks understanding they kicked aside their clearest path to the postseason.
"There´s one game to go, and we don´t know what the scenario is going to bring us," Carroll said. "We´ve been here before. I think it was last year, pretty much the same thing. We´ve got to go to Arizona and go play really well and get a win and see where that leaves us."

The onus of this loss was again on Seattle´s defense that has gotten progressively worse as the season has progressed. After showing signs of improvement early in the season, the Steelers became the ninth team in the past 11 games to top 100 yards rushing against the Seahawks.
Pittsburgh finished with 208 yards rushing, the second most allowed this season by Seattle. The Steelers were the sixth straight opponent to run for at least 135 yards. Since Carroll took over in Seattle in 2010, only 15 teams had rushed for 200 or more yards prior to the Steelers on Sunday.
And when Harris and Warren were hit by Seattle´s defenders, it rarely was the first person that brought them down. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Harris gained 118 of his 122 yards after contact.
"We just knew they were going to come out running the football," Seattle rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon said. "We knew that was the game plan to stop the run, but we didn´t do it. They came out and they ran the football down our throat. They were able to get into their play-action game right after that. It was just a tough day for us."
The Steelers were quick to praise the work of their offensive line, and the success running the ball - especially in the first half when Pittsburgh rushed for 145 yards - allowed some opportunities in the pass game to open in the second half.
While Harris and Warren were the keys, two of the biggest plays of the second half were passes from Mason Rudolph to George Pickens. The first covered 34 yards on a key third down midway through the fourth quarter. The other with two minutes left went for 24 yards.
"It wasn´t anything that I hadn´t seen before. They just beat us on the line of scrimmage. They beat us physically. That´s it," Seattle linebacker Devin Bush said.
Last season, Seattle needed a win in Week 18 at home against the Los Angeles Rams and then help to get into the postseason as the No. 7 seed. They got that help when Detroit beat Green Bay in the final game of the 2022 regular season.
This season, Seattle will go to Arizona next week needing a win and some amount of help yet again, which makes it an uncomfortable position and scenario to go through yet again, especially for a team that was 6-3 in mid-November.
"Next week is not going to be an easy game. We´ve got to go out there in their place and make it happen," Smith said. "We´re the type of team that´s going to always bounce back. We´ve got the right leadership. We´ve got the right coaches, right players, and we´re going to make it happen. We´re going to find a way to make it happen."

Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
The New Year’s weekend box office this year lacked a true blockbuster. (This time last year, “Avatar: The Way of Water” was inundating theaters.) Instead, a wide array of films – among them “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” “The Boys in the Boat,” “Migration,” “Ferrari,” “The Iron Claw” and “Anyone But You” – sought to break out over the year’s most lucrative box-office corridor.
The top choice, though, remained “Wonka,” Paul King’s musical starring Timothée Chalamet as a young Willy Wonka. In its third weekend, the Warner Bros. release collected an estimated $24 million Friday through Sunday and $31.8 million factoring in estimates for the Monday holiday. That brings the film’s domestical total to $142.5 million.
That bested Warner Bros.’ own “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” which, like previous DC superhero films, is struggling. James Wan’s “Aquaman” sequel starring Jason Momoa took in $19.5 million in its second weekend to bring its two-week haul to a modest $84.7 million including New Year’s Day estimates.

The original “Aquaman,” which ultimately surpassed $1.1 billion worldwide, had grossed $215.4 million over a similar period in 2018 – more than double that of the sequel. Internationally, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” added $50.5 million.
Weekend sales only tell part of the story this time of year. From Christmas through New Year’s, when kids are out of school and many adults aren’t working, every day is like Saturday to film distributors.
“The Color Purple,” Blitz Bazawule's adaptation of the 2005 stage musical from Alice Walker's novel, debuted on Monday and led all movies on Christmas with $18 million. Through the week, the Warner Bros. release has grossed $50 million, including $13 million Friday through Sunday. That’s a strong start for the crowd-pleaser starring Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson and Danielle Brooks. Audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore.
Entertainment News
The roughly $100 million production, which boasts Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones (all from the 1985 film) as producers, should play well through awards season. It's nominated for several Golden Globes and expected to be in the Oscar mix.
“We saw this opportunity to go wide at Christmas since there were so few movies and we were confident the movie would be well received,” said Jeffrey Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. “Going into the competitive landscape that's so thin in January and February, the excitement of awards season could really help ignite a bigger box office.”
Despite a blockbuster-less holiday frame, the last weekend of the year pushed the industry past $9 billion in box office for the year in U.S. and Canadian theaters for the first time since before the pandemic. Ticket sales on the year were up 21% from 2022, according to data firm Comscore.
Still, it was a mark that seemed more easily within reach during the summer highs of Barbenheimer when both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were breaking box-office records.
The enormous success of those two films changed the trajectory of Hollywood’s 2023, but so did the monthslong actors and writers strikes. Those forced the postponement of some top films (most notably “Dune: Part Two” ), diminishing an already patchwork fall lineup with few guaranteed ticket-sellers. One exception was the last-minute addition of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which set a new record for concert films.
This year, Hollywood needed Swift and every penny to reach $9 billion. It crossed that threshold Saturday, with one day to spare. That total, though, still doesn't come close to the $11 billion-plus years that preceded the pandemic. The number of wide releases in 2023 came about 20 films shy of those released in 2019.
The production delays caused by the strikes could have an even greater impact on 2024. Several top releases have already been postponed until at least the following year, including “Mission: Impossible” and “Spider-Verse” sequels. After a rocky year for Marvel and a string of less predictable hits, Hollywood will have to hope it can adapt to changing audience tastes – and that another “Barbie” is lurking somewhere.
"It's an $11 billion business. We're climbing our way back," said Goldstein. “This next year is going to be a big challenge because of the strikes. But we're seeing very clearly in 2023, when there are movies out there that people want to see, they come.”
Meanwhile, a host of releases sought to capitalize over the holidays – and most succeeded.
“This crop of seven wide releases at the end of the year, they got us over the hump of $9 billion,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. “This final push of the year provided great insight into what audiences are looking for. It's movies big and small. It's different types of movies."
Though “Wonka” won out as the family movie choice for the holidays, Universal Pictures’ “Migration” is attracting young audiences, too. The animated movie from “Minions”-maker Illumination notched $17.2 million in 3,839 theaters in its second weekend, and $59.4 million since opening.
“The Boys in the Boat,” the George Clooney-directed sports drama, grossed $24.6 million since opening Dec. 25. The Amazon MGM Studios release, about the U.S. men’s crew in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, wasn’t a smash with critics (58% “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes) but audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore. “The Boys in the Boat,” which cost about $40 million to make, could hold well in coming weeks.
Though romantic comedies have largely migrated to streaming platforms, Sony Pictures' “Anyone But You” is proving the genre can still work in theaters. The film, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, collected $9 million in its second weekend to bring its total to $27.6 million through Monday.
Sean Durkin's wrestling drama “The Iron Claw" is also performing well. The A24 film, starring Zac Efron, Holt McCallany and Jeremy Allen White, has grossed $18 million since opening Dec. 22, including $5 million on the three-day weekend. The film dramatizes the tragic story of the Von Erich family.
Michael Mann's “Ferrari," a project the director sought to make for three decades, took in $10.9 million since launching in theaters on Monday, including $4.1 million for the weekend. While that ranks as one of the biggest debuts for indie distributor Neon, it's nowhere near what a movie that cost close to $100 million to make needs to turn a profit.
The film, starring Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, has been celebrated by critics, but appears likely to follow Mann's previous film, 2015's “Blackhat” ($19.6 million worldwide against a $70 million budget), as a commercial disappointment.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Wonka,” $24 million.
2. “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” $19.5 million.
3. “Migration,” $17.2 million.
4. “The Color Purple,” $13 million.
5. “Anyone But You,” $9 million.
6. “The Boys in the Boat,” $8.3 million.
7. “The Iron Claw,” $5 million.
8. “Ferrari,” $4.1 million.
9. “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” $2.9 million.
10. “The Boy and the Heron,” $2.5 million. | https://www.nbcmiami.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/wonka-no-1-at-box-office-again-as-2023-ends-2-billion-shy-of-pre-pandemic-sales/3194578/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:34Z |
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 offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted more than 100 missile tests, prompting the U.S. and South Korea to expand their joint military drills. North Korea has also tried to strengthen its relationships with China and Russia, which blocked efforts by the U.S. and its partners in the U.N. Security Council to toughen U.N. sanctions on North Korea over its weapons tests.
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.

A fake emergency call to police resulted in officers responding Friday night to the home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows just a day after she removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause.
She becomes the latest elected politician to become a target of swatting, which involves making a phone call to emergency services with the intent that a large first responder presence, including SWAT teams, will show up at a residence.
Bellows was not home when the swatting call was made, and responding officers found nothing suspicious.
Suspects in swatting cases are being arrested and charged as states contemplate stronger penalties.
Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was the target of a swatting attempt at her Georgia residence on Christmas morning, the congresswoman and local police said.
A man in New York called the Georgia suicide hotline claiming he had shot his girlfriend at Greene’s home and was going to kill himself. Police said investigators were working to identify the caller and build a criminal case.
Another New York man was sentenced in August to three months in prison for making threatening phone calls to Greene’s office in Washington, D.C.
While the Maine Department of Public Safety did not share a suspected motive for the swatting attempt against Bellows, she had no doubts it stemmed from her decision to remove Trump from the ballot. The swatting attempt came after a conservative activist posted her home address on social media.
“And it was posted in anger and with violent intent by those who have been extending threatening communications toward me, my family and my office,” Bellows told The Associated Press in a phone call Saturday.
A call was made to emergency services from an unknown man saying he had broken into a house in Manchester, according to the Maine public safety department.
The address the man gave was Bellows’ home. Bellows and her husband were away for the holiday weekend. Maine State Police responded to what the public safety department said ultimately turned out to be a swatting call.
Police conducted an exterior sweep of the house and then checked inside at Bellows’ request. Nothing suspicious was found, and police continue to investigate.
“The Maine State Police is working with our law enforcement partners to provide special attention to any and all appropriate locations,” the public safety statement said.
Bellows said the intimidation factors won’t work. “Here’s what I’m not doing differently. I’m doing my job to uphold the Constitution, the rule of law.”
Beyond Bellows and Greene, other high-profile politicians who have been swatting call targets include U.S. Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.
Bellows said she, her family and her office workers have been threatened since her decision to remove Trump from the ballot. At least one Republican lawmaker in Maine wants to pursue impeachment against her.
“Not only have there been threatening communications, but there have been dehumanizing fake images posted online and even fake text threads attributed to me,” said Bellows, who has worked in civil rights prior to becoming secretary of state.
“And my previous work taught me that dehumanizing people is the first step in creating an environment that leads to attacks and violence against that person,” she said. “It is extraordinarily dangerous for the rhetoric to have escalated to the point of dehumanizing me and threatening me, my loved ones and the people who work for me.”
She said the people of Maine have a strong tradition of being able to disagree on important issues without violence.
“I think it is extraordinarily important that everyone deescalate the rhetoric and remember the values that make our democratic republic and here in Maine, our state, so great,” she said.
The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows’ decision to Maine’s state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case.
The Colorado Supreme Court earlier this month removed Trump from that state’s ballot, a decision that also was stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether he would be barred under the insurrection clause, a Civil War-era provision which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.

Energy - New heating law comes into force - what it means
The new heating law came into force at the beginning of the year after months of bitter debate. The most important message: the vast majority of homeowners do not have to do anything for the time being.
Functioning heating systems can continue to be operated. Shortly before the start of the new Building Energy Act, there was finally clarity about future state subsidies. However, the criticism continues.
Launch only for new-build areas
The Building Energy Act (GEG) generally stipulates that from 2024, 65% of all newly installed heating systems must be powered by renewable energies. With this reform for more climate protection, the German government wants to promote the "heating transition" in the building sector and protect consumers from price hikes for oil and gas if the price of CO2 rises.
However, the provisions of the new law will initially apply to new buildings in a new development area from January. Many heat pumps are already being installed in new buildings, but other heating models are also possible. Specifically, the 65 percent green electricity obligation applies to all new buildings for which a building application is submitted from January 2024, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Transitional periods
There are transitional periods for existing buildings and new buildings outside of new development areas. The linchpin is municipal heat planning. It should be available from mid-2026 in large cities and from mid-2028 for the remaining municipalities. Homeowners should then have clarity as to whether they should be connected to a district heating network, for example, or whether they should look for their own decentralized solutions for a new heating system - such as a heat pump.
According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, earlier deadlines can apply if local authorities have already decided in advance to designate an area for a heating network, for example, which takes into account a local heating plan.
As a general rule, functioning heating systems can continue to be operated. This also applies if a heating system breaks down but can still be repaired.
Replacing broken heating systems
In the event that a gas or oil heating system has to be completely replaced because it can no longer be repaired, there are transitional periods of several years. New oil or gas heating systems may continue to be installed until the deadlines for heat planning expire. However, from 2029, they must use an increasing proportion of renewable energies such as biogas or hydrogen. If the municipality already has a heating plan, the installation of heating systems with 65% renewable energy is mandatory, according to the ministry. In cases of hardship, owners could be exempted from the obligation to use renewable heating.
There is already a general obligation to replace a boiler with a new one after 30 years. There are exceptions for condensing boilers, among others. From 2045, buildings may only be heated using climate-neutral renewable energies. According to a study by energy industry association BDEW in November, just under half of the 41.9 million homes were heated with natural gas in 2023. Oil heating is in second place with almost a quarter.
The ministry points out: In most cases, it makes sense to switch to heating with renewable energies now. This helps to protect the climate and is also economically attractive as there is financial support - even if the heating system is still working.
Future funding
In September, the Bundestag and Bundesrat passed the new heating law - but despite promises to the contrary from the federal government, it remained unclear for a long time exactly what the future state subsidy would look like. Shortly before the end of the year, there is now clarity about the new funding guidelines and subsidies for investment costs.
The most important innovation: there is a speed bonus for owner-occupiers for the early replacement of old fossil fuel heating systems. This is intended to provide an incentive to switch, even if the heating system is still working. The bonus is granted for the replacement of functioning oil, coal, gas or night storage heating systems as well as biomass and gas heating systems that are more than twenty years old.
An extension of the speed bonus for the replacement of particularly old heating systems, which had been planned in the meantime, was canceled for cost reasons. Following a budget ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court, the government has to plug holes worth billions.
In addition, there is also an income bonus of 30 percent of the investment costs - this is available to owner-occupiers with an annual taxable household income of up to 40,000 euros.
According to the ministry, applications for funding can be submitted to the state development bank KfW from the end of February - even retroactively for projects that have already been started.
Boom in new gas heating systems
The GEG is intended to promote climate protection, but the long wrangling over it has apparently had exactly the opposite effect. This year, and therefore before the start of the new heating law, many homeowners have bought a new gas heating system - the industry is heading for a record. The protracted debate surrounding the GEG has had consequences, said Ralf Kiryk, Head of Department at the Federal Association of the German Heating Industry: "People have mainly invested in a gas heating system quickly in order to avoid the requirements of the GEG."
According to the association's figures, sales of gas heating systems had increased by 38 percent to around 694,500 units by the end of October, while sales of oil heating systems had risen by 107 percent to 94,500. Sales of heat pumps increased by 75 percent to 320,500. However, interest in heat pumps had waned as a result of the GEG debate. This was partly due to the long period of uncertainty regarding the new subsidy. Applications for subsidies fell sharply in 2023.
Heating Act: progress or small-scale specification?
From the outset, there was heavy criticism of the law: it contained far too detailed specifications, favored heat pumps, overburdened many owners financially and contributed to great uncertainty. Many in the coalition partner FDP would actually prefer to rely on a different instrument: namely an increase in the CO2 price as an incentive to replace heating systems. The CO2 price makes the consumption of fossil fuels more expensive and therefore also heating. In return for additional charges, citizens could receive climate money, but this is a long time coming.
Martin Sabel, Managing Director of the German Heat Pump Association, sees the GEG as significant progress towards renewable energies and more climate protection in buildings, despite all the uncertainties. From January 1, every person who wants to install a gas or oil heating system will have to sign that they have been informed about the risks of drastically rising prices for fossil fuels and the obligation to use increasing proportions of green fuels. The path to the GEG was a "communicative disaster".
Thomas Engelke, energy expert at the Federation of German Consumer Organizations, said: "It was long overdue to update the Building Energy Act and make the heating of the future climate-friendly." However, this has not been sufficiently successful. "Gas heating systems that can theoretically be operated with hydrogen may continue to be installed." Consumers are threatened with a cost trap here because it is foreseeable that there will not be enough hydrogen available and it could become correspondingly expensive. The interests of private households have also not yet been sufficiently taken into account in the expansion of heating networks.
Irmela Colaço, buildings expert at the environmental association BUND, criticized: "The installation of new oil and gas heating systems remains permitted for far too long. Tenants in particular are not sufficiently protected from high heating costs. This makes it all the more important to educate people about climate and cost traps and to ensure that the focus in municipal heating planning is on an affordable and efficient heating transition instead of the profit interests of the gas lobby."
The climate effect
According to a forecast commissioned by the ministry, the climate protection effect of the law will be lower than initially assumed due to extensive changes to the original draft law from the house of Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens), which was long in the crossfire of criticism. However, the CO2 savings will become increasingly stronger over time.

Four migrant buses arrived at the Secaucus train station on Saturday before the migrants onboard took trains into New York City, according to Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli.
Just last week, New York Mayor Eric Adams announced an executive order requiring buses arrive into NYC only between 8:30 a.m. and noon on weekdays at a single drop-off site, or face fines, lawsuits or buses being impounded.
According to Adams' office, buses must drop off passengers at the loading zone on West 41st Street between 8th and 9th Avenues in Manhattan. Charted buses must also provide 32 hours notice before arriving in the city.
In New York, more than 161,000 migrants have arrived and sought city aid since spring 2022.

Gonnelli said in a statement that the bus operators "have figured out a loophole in the system" to get the migrants to New York City.
“It seems quite clear the bus operators are finding a way to thwart the requirements of the Executive Order by dropping migrants at the train station in Secaucus and having them continue to their final destination," Mayor Gonnelli said.
According to Gonnelli, the New Jersey State Police said a similar situation is occurring at other train stations in the state.
Migrant Crisis
Asylum seekers are being sent to New York City with hopes of a new, better life — but finding obstacle after obstacle instead.
“I have been advised the State of New Jersey has a plan in place and we will be working closely with the Governor’s office, all law enforcement agencies, and the County to monitor this situation,” Gonnelli said.
A spokesperson for Gov. Phil Murphy said the administration is working with federal and local partners, including New York City.
“Our Administration has tracked the recent arrival of a handful buses of migrant families at various NJ TRANSIT train stations," said Tyler Jones, deputy press secretary for Murphy, in a statement. "New Jersey is primarily being used as a transit point for these families — all or nearly all of them continued with their travels en route to their final destination of New York City." | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/migrant-crisis/several-migrant-buses-arrive-in-secaucus-in-effort-to-thwart-nyc-executive-order-nj-mayor/4995055/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:36Z |

FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”
Dog found stabbed 17 times in Nassau County, $5K reward offered for information https://t.co/1rJiYJmwbx pic.twitter.com/HfMGPIGtas
— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.k99online.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:36Z |
Judge allows new court in Mississippi’s majority-Black capital, rejecting NAACP request to stop it
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won’t choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
The state law creating the new court also expands the patrol territory for Capitol Police. The state-run police department previously patrolled near state government buildings in downtown Jackson, but the new law added other parts of the city, including more affluent residential and shopping areas.
In September, the Mississippi Supreme Court struck down the part of the same law that would have required the state chief justice to appoint four circuit judges to serve alongside the four elected circuit judges in Hinds County. The county includes Jackson and is also majority-Black and governed by Democrats.
Justices wrote that longstanding Mississippi law allows the chief justice to appoint some judges for specific reasons, such as to deal with a backlog of cases. But they wrote that “we see nothing special or unique” about the four appointed Hinds County circuit judges in the 2023 law, “certainly nothing expressly tethering them to a specific judicial need or exigency.”

Gilgeous-Alexander scores 24, Thunder beat Nets 124-108, extend winning streak to 4 games
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points and six assists and the Oklahoma City Thunder won their fourth straight game, beating the Brooklyn Nets 124-108 on Sunday night.
Josh Giddey had 20 points, six rebounds and five assists, and rookie Chet Holmgren added 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots for Oklahoma City, which improved to 22-9, good for second place in the Western Conference.
"We´ve gotten a lot better," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "We´ve put in a lot of work. I expect us to get better. I´m not surprised. We´ve got to keep going and keep getting better."
The Thunder have hosted a New Year´s Eve game every year since the franchise moved to town and have a 12-4 record in those games. Brooklyn is 2-8 all-time on New Year´s Eve.
Holmgren and Jalen Williams, who scored 17 points, scored all the Thunder´s points in a 16-8 run that extended Oklahoma City´s lead from seven points to 102-87 with 8:49 left. Brooklyn got no closer than 12 points the rest of the way and Oklahoma City eventually led by as many as 21 points.
"I think we picked up our energy," Holmgren said. "Early in the game, they were making shots from the outside. Some of that was them coming out ready to play and some of that was us just being a little late on rotations and close-outs. Once we picked that up, we really made shots tough on them and we started to get some stops."

Mikal Bridges had 22 points - 15 in the first quarter - to go with seven rebounds and seven assists for Brooklyn, which has lost three straight games. Cam Thomas had 20 points and Nic Claxton had 15 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. The Nets, who have lost four straight games against Oklahoma City, are 1-16 this season when allowing an opponent 120 or more points.
Oklahoma City shot 54.2% from the field (45 of 83), while Brooklyn shot just 38% (38 of 100). The Nets made 12 of 46 3-point attempts, for 26.1%, which offset the fact they committed only six turnovers.
"You look at the stat sheet and we did some really good things tonight," Brooklyn coach Jacque Vaughn said. "They had 20 corner (3-point attempts) and made two of them. We missed some free throws. We shoot 40 3s, pretty good. We shared the basketball and didn´t turn it over. How many more shots did we have? Seventeen more shots. Pretty good recipe for us.
"A lot of our shots were open tonight. We sprayed that thing around and we were really unselfish and getting each other good shots tonight. ... It was just one of those nights the ball didn´t go in for you."
Brooklyn made its first five shots (three of them 3-pointers) and built a 10-point first-quarter lead at 18-8, but the Thunder shot 54.6% in the half and eventually led 59-56 at halftime.
The Nets were within 67-65 before Giddey fueled an 11-2 spurt by Oklahoma City, making two baskets before feeding Gilgeous-Alexander on a fast-break layup that made it 78-67 with 5:37 left in the third quarter. That caused Vaughn to call his second timeout in a 99-second span.
A 3-pointer by Holmgren in the final seconds of the quarter put Oklahoma City ahead 89-79 and started the Thunder´s game-clinching run.
"Tonight it was a variance night," Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault said. "There´s nights when the other team makes shots and you don´t, and tonight was the night we made shots and they didn´t. They shot a lot of 3s. I thought we contested a lot of them. I thought we did made them uncomfortable. ... But it´s hard to explain that boxscore other than shooting variance on this night."

Sen. John Fetterman acknowledges having “dark conversations” about harming himself before he hit “the emergency brake” and sought treatment for depression.
He remembers thinking about his three school-age kids. “I can’t be a blueprint for my children. I can’t let them be left alone or not to understand why he would have done that,” the first-term Pennsylvania Democrat told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in a deeply personal and introspective interview taped before the broadcast that aired Sunday.
So he checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, last Feb. 15. “There was nowhere else to go,” he said, describing how he often felt during his stay that “there wasn’t any hope sometimes and like, ‘What do I have left?’”
He also wondered whether he would survive politically.
“When it got released where I was and where it was going, it was a big story. And so, I had assumed that that would be the end of my career,” he said.
When he sought treatment for clinical depression, Fetterman was still coping with the effects of the stroke he had in May 2022, during his campaign for one of the Senate’s most contested seats. “My heart technically stopped, and it was a very touch-and-go situation,” said Fetterman, 54. A pacemaker was implanted with a defibrillator to manage two heart conditions, atrial fibrillation and cardiomyopathy.
His victory over Republican Mehmet Oz had helped Democrats keep control of the Senate and made him a national figure. It was the height of his political career. But he couldn’t make it out of bed at his home in Braddock, in western Pennsylvania.
“I really scared my kids, and they thought, ’You won, Dad. Why aren’t we enough? Why are you still so sad? Why are you even more sad?’ And it was hard for — to explain why I was. And, of course, a 9-year-old child wouldn’t understand that. And it was awful,” Fetterman said.
So much so that he said he “pleaded not to go down to D.C.” later that November for orientation sessions in Washington for newly elected lawmakers.
His favorite holiday was nearing, yet he was unable to think about getting Christmas presents for his children and “dreading” his swearing in on Capitol Hill early in the new year.
Within two months, he was at Walter Reed. Aides had described the new senator as being withdrawn and uninterested in eating, discussing work or the usual banter with staff.
“This is a conversation that I’ve had with myself and anybody that knows they’re unable to address their depression, is they start to have dark conversations with themself about self-harm,” Fetterman said. “And things continued to kind of tick off the list. And then I kind of hit the emergency brake.”
He added, “I knew I needed help.”
Before checking into Walter Reed, Fetterman had never publicly discussed his battle with depression. He has since said that he has experienced it on and off throughout his life.
He left Walter Reed at the end of March after six weeks of inpatient treatment with his depression “in remission,” according to a statement from his office.
Doctors describe “remission” as when a patient responds to treatment so that they have returned to normal social function and they are indistinguishable from someone who has never had depression.
Fetterman has since become a visible presence in the Capitol, bantering with reporters, joking with Senate colleagues and speaking up at Senate hearings.
To others who are now “facing a really dark holiday time,” Fetterman offered this guidance: “I know that last year’s was desolate. And this year’s might be desolate. Next year’s can be the best ever. And that’s what happened for me.”

New images from NASA confirm Ultima Thule's flat shape
New Horizons performed its farthest flyby when it approached Ultima Thule within 2,200 miles (about 3,540 km) of the surface at a velocity of 31,500 miles (about 50,694 km) per hour on Jan. 1.
The latest images were taken nearly 10 minutes after New Horizons crossed its closest approach point, which were the final views New Horizons captured of Ultima Thule, said a NASA release on Friday.
Previously scientists called Ultima Thule "snowman" as the first close-up images revealed its two distinct and spherical segments. However, more analysis of approach images and new departure images have changed that view.
Stringing 14 of the latest images into a short departure movie, New Horizons scientists confirmed that the two sections, or "lobes," of Ultima Thule are not spherical.
The larger lobe, nicknamed "Ultima," more closely resembles a giant pancake, and the smaller lobe, nicknamed "Thule," is shaped like a dented walnut, according to the mission team.
"We had an impression of Ultima Thule based on the limited number of images returned in the days around the flyby, but seeing more data has significantly changed our view," said mission Principal Investigator Alan Stern.
"It would be closer to reality to say Ultima Thule's shape is flatter, like a pancake. But more importantly, the new images are creating scientific puzzles about how such an object could even be formed. We've never seen something like this orbiting the Sun," he said. | https://en.inform.kz/news/new-images-from-nasa-confirm-ultima-thule-s-flat-shape_a3497261/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:43Z |
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A South Florida business owner is accused of shooting a landscaper on Friday after the worker allegedly blew leaves onto his property, authorities said.
According to Miami-Dade County online booking records, Claudio Arrendell, 52, was charged with one count of attempted murder.
Police said that Arrendell, the owner of P&P Auto Tire Shop in northwestern Miami-Dade County, got into an argument with the landscaper, WTVJ-TV reported.
A judge gave the business owner no bond on Saturday, after allegedly shooting a landscaper over leaves blown onto his property. Here's the latest: https://t.co/pCUhEtiKi5
— NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) December 31, 2023
Police said the landscaper was working at a property across the street from the business, and Arrendell was allegedly upset that the leaves from the workers were blowing onto his property, according to the television station.
According to police, Arrendell allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the landscaper, WSVN-TV reported.
The victim, who has not been identified, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital and was originally listed in critical condition, according to WFOR-TV. The victim has since been upgraded to stable condition, investigators told the television station.
During Arrendell’s court appearance on Saturday, the judge ruled that Arrendell would be held without bond, according to WPLG-TV. | https://www.k99online.com/news/trending/tire-shop-owner-accused-shooting-landscaper-who-blew-leaves-onto-property/JTNTIP5L75ARBN5YW6AF2T5ZU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:13:43Z |

Chargers' Khalil Mack gets milestone 100th career sack in LA's 16-9 loss to Broncos
DENVER (AP) - Khalil Mack desperately wanted a win for the Los Angeles Chargers. He had to instead settle for a milestone sack in a 16-9 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Mack got the 100th sack of his 10-year career with a signature bull rush that pushed guard Ben Powers right into Jarrett Stidham, toppling the Broncos quarterback on a 3rd-and-20 play early in the second quarter.
Mack was greeted with hugs and pats on his helmet by his teammates and coaches when he returned to the sideline after his career-high 16th sack of the season.
"It was dope. It was dope, but I was focused on trying to get the win," a subdued Mack said after the game. "It's definitely a significant moment in my career but bittersweet because I wanted to win that game, man."
The 32-year-old Mack is the 43rd player in NFL history to get 100 sacks. He's also among five active players to hit the century mark. Von Miller of the Buffalo Bills leads that group with 123 1/2.
"It's a landmark number," interim Chargers coach Giff Smith said. "I mean, you start doing the basic math, it's crazy. It's just a crazy number. I don't know when I got into coaching if I ever thought I'd be a part of something like that and I'm grateful I got to be a part of it."
Mack is in his second season with the Chargers, joining Los Angeles in a trade by the Chicago Bears. He broke into the NFL in 2014, drafted by the then Oakland Raiders. He was voted the AP NFL defensive player of the year in 2016.
Going into the Chargers' season finale next week against Kansas City, Mack is one sack shy of the Chargers' single-season sack mark. Shawne Merriman, with 17 in 2006, and Leslie O'Neal, with 17 in 1992, jointly hold the mark.
"The sacks are cool and all that, but the way he plays the run and the amount of snaps he's having to play since Joey (Bosa) has been out, and the willingness to give everything for this team speaks volumes," Smith said.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to launch three additional military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and introduce attack drones in 2024, as he called for “overwhelming” war readiness to cope with U.S.-led confrontational moves, state media reported Sunday.
Kim’s comments, made during a key ruling Workers’ Party meeting to set state goals for next year, suggest he’ll intensify a run of weapons tests ahead of the U.S. presidential elections in November. Observers say Kim believes a boosted nuclear capability would give him another chance for high-stakes diplomacy with the U.S. to win sanctions relief if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House.
During the five-day meeting that ended Saturday, Kim said “vicious” anti-North Korea moves by the United States and its followers “have reached the extremes unprecedented in history,” pushing the Korean Peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. Kim cited the expansion of U.S.-South Korean military exercises and the temporary deployment of powerful U.S. military assets such as bombers and a nuclear-armed submarine in South Korea — the steps the allies have taken in response to the North’s weapons testing spree since last year.
Kim called for “the overwhelming war response capability” to deter potential enemy provocations, KCNA said.
He set forth plans to launch three more military spy satellites next year in addition to the country’s first reconnaissance satellite launched in November. He underscored the need to establish “a reliable foundation” to build more nuclear weapons, an apparent reference to facilities producing fissile materials like weapons-grade plutonium and highly enriched uranium. Kim also ordered authorities to enhance submarine capabilities and develop various types of unmanned combat equipment such as armed drones.
“Pyongyang might be waiting out the U.S. presidential election to see what its provocations can buy it with the next administration,” said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul.
“The Kim regime has closed the political door on denuclearization negotiations but could offer rhetorical restraint and a testing freeze in exchange for sanctions relief,” Easley said. “Although North Korea has no intention of giving up nuclear weapons, it might try to extract payment for acting like a so-called responsible nuclear power.”
Kim has been focusing on modernizing his nuclear arsenal since his diplomacy with Trump broke down in 2019 due to wrangling over how much sanctions relief the North could get for a partial surrender of its nuclear program. Experts say Kim likely thinks that Trump, if elected for a second term, could make concessions as the U.S. is preoccupied with the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas fighting.
Nam Sung-wook, a professor at Korea University in South Korea, said if President Joe Biden is reelected, North Korea won’t get what it wants. But he predicted a Trump win could revive diplomacy, saying Trump will likely say during his campaign that he can convince North Korea to suspend intimidating weapons tests.
He said Kim’s vow to ramp up production of plutonium and uranium is meant to strengthen his negotiating cards. Nam said North Korea will also test-launch more intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the continental U.S. this year.
“North Korea will act to the fullest extent under its timetable for provocation until the U.S. election day,” Nam said.
During his speech at the party meeting, Kim used bellicose, derisive rhetoric against South Korea, calling it “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said South Korea must not be considered as a partner for reconciliation or unification. He ordered the military to use all available means including nuclear weapons to conquer South Korea in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Unification Ministry responded by strongly condemning North Korea for pushing to advance its nuclear program and displaying hostility toward its neighbors. A statement said South Korea will try to overwhelmingly deter North Korean threats based on a solid alliance with the United States.
Some analysts have speculated that limited clashes between the Koreas along their tense border could happen in the coming year. South Korea’s spy agency said last week that North Korea will likely launch military provocations and cyberattacks ahead of South Korean parliamentary elections in April and the U.S. presidential election in November.
Kim also maintained that North Korea must solidify cooperation with “anti-imperialist, independent” countries that he said oppose U.S.-led Western hegemony.
Kim didn’t name the countries. But North Korea has been seeking to beef up its cooperation with Russia and China, which have repeatedly blocked attempts by the U.S. and its partners to toughen U.N. sanctions on the North over its banned missile tests. The U.S. and South Korea accuse North Korea of supplying artillery and ammunition to Russia in return for high-tech Russian technologies for its own military programs.
Julianne Smith, U.S. permanent representative to NATO, said earlier this month the U.S. assessed that the suspected Russian technologies North Korea seeks are related to fighter aircraft, surface-to-air missiles, armored vehicles, ballistic missile production equipment or materials of that kind. Smith said U.S. intelligence indicates that North Korea had provided Russia with more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions.
South Korean officials said Russian support likely enabled North Korea to put its spy satellite into orbit for the first time on Nov. 21. Many foreign experts are skeptical about the satellite’s ability but South Korean Defense Minister Shin Wonsik said in November that Russia could help North Korea produce higher-resolution satellite photos.
Yang Uk, an analyst at Seoul’s Asan Institute for Policy Studies, said that he believes North Korea hasn’t yet obtained functioning ICBMs that can launch nuclear strikes on the continental U.S. But he said North Korea’s shorter-range nuclear-armed missiles can reach South Korea and Japan, where a total of 80,000 American troops are stationed.
Estimates on the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from 20-30 bombs to more than 100. The U.N. atomic agency and foreign experts recently said North Korea appears to have started operating a light-water reactor at its main nuclear complex in a possible attempt to secure a new source for weapons-grade plutonium.
Meanwhile, Kim said during the meeting that North Korea made “eye-opening” economic achievements by fulfilling or exceeding set quotas in major areas such as farming, housing construction and fisheries. Nam, the professor, said the self-praise appears aimed at burnishing Kim’s image as a leader who cares about public livelihoods as well as military issues.

Calvin de Haan ends 46-game goal drought with tiebreaking score as Lightning top Canadiens 4-3
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Calvin de Haan ended his 46-game goal drought with the tiebreaking score in the third period, and the Tampa Bay Lightning rallied past the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 on Sunday night.
The defenseman put Tampa Bay up 3-2 with a shot from the left circle at 7:49 off a pass from Nikita Kucherov, who became the first NHL player to reach 60 points this season. It was his 22nd goal in 606 career games.
"It's nice to score once in a while," de Haan said with a smile.
Kucherov added an insurance goal before Nick Suzuki pulled Montreal to 4-3 with 2:05 left.
Tampa Bay backup Jonas Johansson made 27 saves in his first game since Dec. 7. The Lightning got also goals from Brayden Point and Austin Watson.
Lightning captain Steven Stamkos had an assist and set a franchise record by playing in his 1,038th game.

Johnathan Kovacevic scored from his own defensive zone and Cole Caufield had the other Montreal goal. Sam Montembeault stopped 16 shots.
"We played well enough to win," Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson said. "It's too bad."
Montembeault gloved a blue-line shot by Darren Raddysh. After holding the puck for a few seconds with no whistle from the referees, the goalie dropped the puck to Kovacevic. The defenseman took a couple of strides forward and, seeing that most players thought play was stopped, including Johansson, who had skated into the corner, fired home a long-distance shot into the vacated net to make it 2-0 at 11:59 of the second.
"I was on the ice. I didn't know what happened there for a second," said Anderson, who thought the play was over.
It was a "weird" situation, de Haan said.
"I've never seen that before," he explained. "Music came on and everything."
Point and Watson scored later in the period to tie it at 2. Watson, playing in his 500th game, sent a bouncing shot from along the left-wing boards that eluded Montembeault.
Caufield opened the scoring 3:58 into the second after he stole the puck from Stamkos deep in the Tampa Bay zone.
Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak left after taking a hard check behind the Tampa Bay net from Anderson nine seconds after Caufield´s goal. Anderson was assessed a charging penalty after a video review.
"From what they told me, there's no call on the ice," Anderson said. "They were just seeing if he touched the puck. Obviously, I was shocked to get the charging penalty there."
Tampa Bay defenseman Haydn Fleury also left in the second after taking a shot off his right hand. Lightning forward Nicholas Paul skated off gingerly after being hit in the right knee by Stamkos' shot in the third.
Another defenseman, Mikhail Sergachev, missed his fifth straight game after being hit on the back of the left foot by a shot.
Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said it was "a tough night" on the injury front.
Montreal center Christian Dvorak sat out with an upper-body injury.
