For Stuart Mikhael, drizzly, cool conditions are no impediment to a New Year's Day visit to Wollongong.
Stuart travelled to the Illawarra from Liverpool on the morning of January 1 to spend the day with a few families, all hailing from the Sydney area, in what has become an annual tradition.
"We used to do it overnight but life got a bit busier, so now we just come down for New Year's Day," he said.
The group plans to spend the day picnicking, enjoying some drinks, and playing card and board games in Stuart Park before heading home in the late afternoon or evening.
Typically a swim would also be on the agenda, but the weather has put a stop to that.
Stuart's group was not the only one to brave the inclement weather to spend the first day of the year outdoors, with plenty of people setting up gazebos in the park.
At least one person left their Sydney home in the pre-dawn hours to catch the first sunrise of 2024 over the ocean.
Meanwhile lifeguards were busy earlier in the morning cleaning up Shellharbour North Beach following the revelry of the evening before.
Resident Annette Regan said there were "lots of kids running around, lots of people" who were "extremely" well-behaved.
People let off fireworks on the beach to welcome in the new year and, while such behaviour is illegal, Annette said the display was "amazing".
"It was awesome, I'd never seen such big fireworks in the area," she said.
Some people were seen packing up tents and camping chairs from the beach in the morning.
There were no official fireworks in Shellharbour, but Wollongong had two displays - one at Belmore Basin at 9pm, and another in the CBD at midnight.
Kiama also celebrated with a fireworks display at 9pm. | https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/8473679/rain-no-deterrent-to-enjoying-first-day-of-2024-in-park-by-beach/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:20Z |
Pelicans spread points around in beating Lakers
Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram scored 26 points apiece to lead six double-figures scorers and the host New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 129-109 on Sunday night.
Ingram added eight assists, three steals and two blocked shots, and CJ McCollum collected 22 points and nine assists. Jonas Valanciunas and Herbert Jones had 13 points each, with Valanciunas chipping in eight boards, and Larry Nance Jr. had 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench.
LeBron James, completing a back-to-back the day after his 39th birthday, scored a game-high 34 points with eight assists, Anthony Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds, Austin Reaves scored 20 points and Taurean Prince had 15 points for the Lakers, who lost for the eighth time in 11 games since winning the in-season tournament.
The Lakers scored the first five points of the third quarter and James added a 3-pointer and another jumper to pull them within 78-67.
Los Angeles got within 11 points three more times in the quarter before Jose Alvarado and Dyson Daniels each made a 3-pointer as New Orleans held a 104-89 lead at the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Lakers again crept within 11 points before Ingram made a jumper and a 3-pointer to increase the lead to 115-99.
Los Angeles got within 12 points with 3:40 remaining, but the Pelicans scored the next 10 points to regain command.
In the first quarter, McCollum scored 15 points on five 3-pointers and added four assists as the Pelicans, who lost to the Lakers 133-89 in the in-season tournament semifinals on Dec. 7 in Las Vegas, raced to a 42-33 lead.
Williamson scored six points and New Orleans expanded the lead to 16 points early in the second quarter.
James converted a three-point play and made consecutive 3-pointers as Los Angeles closed within nine points.
The Pelicans increased the lead to as much as 19 points before finishing the half with a 74-57 lead.

Bat Shmuel HaLevi, Osnat Barzani, and Flora Sassoon—these three Jewish women from the land of Bavel (Babylonia, or modern-day Iraq), whose lives spanned a period of almost 1,000 years, are united by their remarkable devotion to Torah study and their outstanding contributions to their communities and to the continuity of the Jewish people.
The Jews of Bavel
The ancient Jewish settlement in Bavel began when King Nebuchadnezzar exiled King Jehoiachin of Judea to Babylon, along with nobles, warriors, and Torah scholars, in the 5th century BCE.1
It produced outstanding scholars such as Ezra the Scribe and Hillel the Elder, who bolstered and restored tradition in times of severe crisis during the Second Temple period.2
The authoritative Talmud Bavli was compiled there 700 years later, and further on, the academies of the Geonim dominated the Jewish Diaspora with their halachic guidance.
In recent centuries, the yeshivot of Bavel produced leading lights like the great scholar Chacham Yosef Chaim of Baghdad (the Ben Ish Chai) and about half the Sephardic Chief Rabbis of Israel.
Ultimately, economic migration in the 19th century and the violent upheavals of the 20th led to its dispersion. Read on to gain a glimpse into the lives of three remarkable women who helped guide this ancient Jewish community.
Bat Shmuel HaLevi (12th Century)
After centuries as the center of Jewish scholarship, Bavel faded, and new centers of Jewish learning emerged in Spain (Sepharad), North Africa, and Northern Europe (Ashkenaz).
In the 12th century, Rav Shmuel ben Ali HaLevi of Baghdad led the effort to revive the great Torah tradition to which he was heir, leading his yeshivah for 30 years. He carried on a notable (and sometimes fractious) correspondence with Maimonides and other international scholars.
A German visitor to Baghdad, Rabbi Petachya of Regensburg, wrote in his travel journal:
“Rav Shmuel has no sons, but only one daughter. She is an expert in the Talmud. She gives instruction in the Written Torah to young men, through a window. She, herself, is closed within the building.”
A poem mourning the passing of “the daughter of Rav Shmuel HaLevi” was written by the poet Eliezer ben Yaakov HaBavli, but it contains no more biographic details.
Her name has been lost to history, and all that is preserved is a glimpse through the window behind which a woman sat, passionate about Torah and inspiring the youth of her community with their treasured heritage.
Osnat HaTannait (16th Century)
In the late 16th century, the Jewish communities of Northern Iraq3 were facing their own decline in Torah education. In response to the spiritual crisis, Rav Shmuel ben Netanel HaLevi Barzani dedicated himself to building a Yeshivah in the capital of Mosul that would serve as a source of spiritual nourishment. Students from all over flocked to his Yeshivah, but his greatest pupil was his own daughter, Osnat (Aseneth), whom he personally tutored in Tanach, Talmud, and likely Kabbalah.4
After the passing of her father and then the untimely death of her husband, Rav Yaakov Mizrachi, Osnat was left with two young sons and all the responsibilities for the yeshivah lay on her shoulders. A fundraising appeal that she wrote to local communities displays a beautiful, poetic Hebrew replete with learned references, and gives a window into her life experiences:
“… have mercy on me on account of the grave of my father, of blessed memory, so that their Torah should not go to waste, for I have remained teaching Torah, moralizing, and lecturing. And I am in such straits; I have nothing to sell, and no older son, and no messenger that could circulate …
“... between the paths of the sages I was raised, indulged by my father, of blessed memory, and he taught me no craft besides the work of Heaven. He also made my husband, of blessed memory, swear not to have me do any trade. In the beginning [my husband] was preoccupied by his in-depth study and had no free time to teach the students, so I taught them in his place …”
Osnat was highly regarded by Kurdish Jews, who titled her with the female version of the Aramaic title for teacher: Tannait. For generations, they retained traditions about her wisdom, piety, and ability as a miracle worker.
When the community in Baghdad asked her to send her most successful student for a Rabbinic position, she sent her own son Shmuel. Thanks to her, the Barzani family counts 22 generations of rabbis, shochtim and judges, who are all proudly related to this learned and courageous woman.
Rabbanit Flora Sassoon (19-20th Century)
As modernity arrived, many Jews from Bavel sought to migrate, on the run from hostile rulers and in pursuit of business opportunities.
Baghdadi outposts sprung up all over the Far East, and large trade empires were established, linked by family and faith. Fareha-Flora, a member of the legendary Sassoon dynasty in Bombay, India, was born to Aziza and Yechezkel Gabbai in 1859. Remaining loyal to the Torah-learning tradition of Bavel, her parents hired a qualified Torah scholar from the Baghdadi community to instruct their 12 children.
Flora was an especially gifted student, spending countless hours being tutored by great scholars, even after her marriage and the birth of her three children. Jewish fundraisers who visited India would report back in amazement about the woman who was fluent in Tanach, Midrash, Gemara, Halacha, Jewish history and philosophy, and was also a paragon of piety and kindness.5
Flora Sassoon’s life could fill its own book. She spoke six languages and was a keen businesswoman. When her husband Solomon Sassoon passed away in 1894, she took over his trading company, becoming the first woman to run an inter-continental business.
Wherever she traveled, she would take along a personal shochet who provided her with kosher meat. She was renowned for her philanthropy and social activism, and gained a reputation as a generous and regal hostess at her lavish kosher banquets.
It is as “Rabbanit” that Flora was addressed by her many correspondents, who were often appealing to her generosity to support their yeshivot, in awe of the woman who could carry on a halachic discussion with learned rabbis.
Flora and her family held a warm correspondence with the famed Chacham Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, who, upon learning that she attended a Talmud shiur delivered by the Chief Rabbi of England, was intrigued that Londoners would be able to learn Gemara on her level! (The Ben Ish Chai was no stranger to female scholarship; he recorded in his halachic writings that his grandmother would learn 18 chapters of Mishnah daily.6)
Her correspondence with Chacham Yitzchak Nissim of Baghdad, later Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, was included in his collection of halachic responsa.
After moving to England for the medical care of her daughter Mazal, Flora arranged for Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler, the future Mussar teacher, to tutor her son David (an expert on Jewish manuscripts) and daughter Rachel.
She researched and wrote articles for Jewish publications and gave many lectures for Jewish causes, including being honored with the opening speech at the Rabbinical College in London.
After a lifetime of activity, with extensive impact, Rabbanit Sassoon passed away in 1936. Ten years later, she was moved to Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. | https://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/6260254/jewish/Three-Remarkably-Learned-Jewish-Women-From-Bavel.htm | 2024-01-01T04:15:23Z |

A Warrawong woman accused of ripping off another woman's hijab in an unprovoked attack claims she was unaware of the religious significance of the garment.
Tammie Denise Peters faced Wollongong Local Court on Monday, January 1, charged with common assault and possessing a prohibited drug.
It is alleged she tore off the woman's hijab, unprovoked and unexpectedly, and had cannabis on her.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Ashley Jacob opposed Peters' release on bail, saying she posed an unacceptable risk of committing serious offences.
Sergeant Jacob said that while the alleged assault was not ongoing and did not cause physical injury, it was "extremely disrespectful".
She noted Peters had a lengthy criminal record and had faced eight charges in the past three years of assaulting members of the community.
Peters was on parole for offences of common assault and assaulting police, Sergeant Jacob said, as well as a conditional release order.
Legal Aid lawyer Elizabeth Parkes said Peters was not aware of the cultural and religious significance of the hijab, and thought removing it was akin to knocking someone's hat off their head.
Ms Parkes said she had explained how important the hijab was and Peters was apologetic.
She said Peters would not face imprisonment if found guilty of the offence, and only had a small amount of cannabis.
Registrar Leah Harvey said the issue she faced was that even if Peters did not understand the significance of the hijab, she should not be touching members of the public regardless.
"The public aren't there for her to touch at her leisure whenever she sees fit," Ms Harvey said.
But she granted Peters bail, noting the accused woman might not face imprisonment if found guilty of the offences.
Ms Harvey imposed bail conditions that included living at a Warrawong address, and not entering Maple Youth Services or MacCabe Park or coming within 100 metres of them.
She warned Peters that she could "almost guarantee" she would not be released from custody again if she committed an offence on bail.
Peters will return to court later in January. | https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/8473745/warrawong-woman-charged-after-allegedly-tearing-off-womans-hijab/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:27Z |

Number of French yellow vests dwindles in 13th anti-gov't protest
PARIS. KAZINFORM - Yellow vest protesters were out in the streets of France once more this Saturday, almost three months after the beginning of their protests, on a day that saw sporadic clashes with law enforcement by a dwindling number of protesters, EFE reports.
Police headquarters confirmed to EFE that 21 people had been detained in the capital by mid-afternoon. According to the Interior Ministry, some 12,100 people were involved in demonstrations around the country, 4,000 of them in the capital. | https://en.inform.kz/news/number-of-french-yellow-vests-dwindles-in-13th-anti-gov-t-protest_a3496812/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:28Z |
Theatre upgrades, new homes, a shopping mall's redevelopment and decisions on leisure centres and swimming pools will be among the big projects shaping Pendle next year and beyond.
Pendle is currently home to a range of property and land activity including major government-backed levelling-up projects and borough council joint ventures with developers and other organisations.
In Colne, theatre venues The Muni (Municipal Hall), Pendle Hippodrome and Little Theatre are being upgraded in various ways with over £3million allocated to cultural quarter work.
The Muni is having a major refurbishment including new roofing, windows, heating and lighting for energy efficiency. The Hippodrome is being upgraded and extended into the next-door Derby Arms pub building. And Little Theatre work includes a new foyer and better access,

Pendle Council's Colne area committee has had updates on various projects this month. One report said contractor Liberata, which deals with council-owned property, had reported 'further issues and variations' at Colne Municipal Theatre, with around another £100,000 of costs arising, following confirmation of a ceiling repairs bill. There are still some further issues to be assessed.
As a result, some non-essential but ‘nice to have’ elements have been stopped. Some previously-approved items could be removed, to keep the final work near the budget of £1,563,000, the report stated.
Elsewhere in Colne, the indoor market hall is set for a redesign and refurbishment, including a new food hall and new apartments. Boosting Colne's night time economy is seen as a key ambition and a food hall is seen as an important part of the future mix. Plans have recently been amended following feedback from councillors. [See separate report on the market hall].
Nearby in Nelson, big projects there include the proposed demolition and redevelopment of Pendle Rise shopping centre, the building of new homes and the extension of Lomeshaye Industrial Estate. Money for Nelson schemes comes from various pots including government levelling-up cash and the Nelson Town Deal.
Nelson's Pendle Rise shopping centre has been the subject of various discussions over recent years. Pendle Council is considering a legal compulsory purchase order to buy the site, if need be. The shopping mall is out-dated, has empty units, hinders movement through Nelson town centre and its regeneration, the council believes.
Pendle Council wants to demolish and re-redevelop the site in a joint venture called Penbrook Developments with Sale property developer Brookhouse. A planning application was approved this autumn, 2023.
The Pendle Rise owners, Future Properties, have said they will consider selling it, if a price can be agreed. They say an independent surveyor's valuation is fair. But the asking price has been queried by some Pendle councillors, who claim it is too high.
New homes are also on the horizon in Nelson. Recent planning applications have included one for 129 homes along with open space, roads and landscaping on land at Further Clough Head, Bamford Street, Nelson.
PEARL Together Ltd, a joint venture with Pendle Council, Barnfield Construction and Together Housing, is behind this application. The Nelson land is around 25 acres in size.
Next-door in Brierfield, work is ongoing on the huge Brierfield Mill redevelopment, now called Northlight. The mixed-use project includes new apartments, offices, leisure, cultural spaces and a gin bar. The work is being done by Pendle Enterprise and Regeneration Ltd (PEARL), a joint venture between Pendle Council and Barnfield Investment Properties.
Elsewhere, leisure centres face potential change in Pendle in 2024. The borough council currently has three publicly-owned leisure centres in Nelson, Colne and Barnoldswick, plus other outdoor facilities. Pendle Leisure Trust runs them on behalf of the council. It also manages some of the theatre facilities, such as The Muni.
In the past, an independent review had suggested that just one or two leisure centres should be run by Pendle Council. But because of Pendle's geographic spread, it was felt two centres would be best. West Craven Leisure Centre could be kept and updated, and a brand new centre could be built at Seed Hill, replacing two existing leisure centres at Colne and Nelson.
However, following the 2023 local elections, Pendle Council is now under Labour and Lib-Dem control. These two parties have said they want to keep all three existing centres but make some other changes.
How things develop in 2024 will be of interest to many people. Pendle Council's Overview & Scrutiny Committee was looking at the details this month.
Leisure centre maintenance, staff and energy cost are among the many pressures faced by councils, as traditional government funding has been reduced over the past ten years. Some centres are being closed or transferred to other organisations.
In Rossendale, the borough council there has just transferred ownership of Whitworth Leisure Centre, which includes a pool, to Whitworth Town Council. The Whitworth venue will now be run locally by a new community interest company. Rossendale Council still has other leisure and museum attractions managed by an arms-length leisure trust. | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/changing-face-pendle-2024-3m-28370355 | 2024-01-01T04:15:31Z |
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.971theriver.com/news/national/vikings-bench-qb/RXQTYOM6SYDZ6SBMZQQI5AJB4I/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:32Z |

A near-miss occurred at Shellharbour Airport in July 2023 between two planes, when an inexperienced pilot took off towards a commercial airline that was still on the runway having just landed.
On July 6, 2023, a pilot flying a Piper PA-28 light aircraft from Bankstown to Goulburn made a stop at Shellharbour Airport.
As the pilot prepared to depart Shellharbour, a Saab 340 operated by commercial airline Link Airways was approaching to land having travelled from Brisbane.
Because of the taxiway weight restriction at the airport, after landing, the Saab turned around and headed back up the runway.
As they did so, the Saab crew saw the Piper heading towards them and tried to contact the pilot but were unable to connect.
The Saab moved to the edge of the runway to avoid the other plane. The pilot of the Piper saw the Link Airways aircraft but continued its take off, passing over the wing of the other aircraft at a distance of about 45 metres.
An investigation by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) found miscommunications and assumptions led to the near miss and as a result Link Airways, and Schofields Flying Club - which operates the Piper - have revised and reviewed their safety policies.
The ATSB found that the pilot of the Piper did not know that the Saab would have to turn around due to the weight restriction on the taxiway, and assumed the runway would be clear for their take off.
The pilot also used "non-standard" radio terminology, which did not make it clear that it was entering the runway.
The ATSB also found that the pilot of the Piper aircraft could have stopped taking off by the time it saw the other aircraft but hesitated and chose to continue the take-off despite the other plane remaining on the runway.
The pilot had never stopped a take-off after commencing during their training and was unsure of how the aircraft would brake and handle if they stopped the takeoff.
At that time, the pilot had only flown for 22 hours as pilot in command and the flight on July 6 was their third solo navigation flight.
Following the incident, Schofields Flying Club updated its training procedures so that pilots must begin their flight training with the club, and not rely on training obtained at another provider - as the pilot in this incident did.
Link Airways also revised its guidelines for operations into Shellharbour. | https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/8473812/atsb-investigation-after-near-miss-at-shellharbour-airport/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:34Z |
Nur Otan Party blended in with Kazakhstanis' life - Senator Zhumagulov
"The Party has passed the way of formation and gaining its role in the modern life. To date, Nur Otan has turned into the Party of a new type. It has blended in with the Kazakhstanis' life and became an efficient conductor of the strategic course of the Leader of Nation. The ruling party plays a role of one of the most important political tools of the country's development. Thus, the Party participates in formation of the government, in promotion of the Presidential initiatives, namely 5 Social Initiatives," Zhumagulov says.
On February 26-27, Nur Otan Party will hold its regular 28th congress in Astana. An appropriate decree was signed by the Head of State, Chairman of the Party Nursultan Nazarbayev on January 17.
The congress will be devoted to the 20th anniversary of the Party and will discuss its new 2030 programme and amendments to its Charter. The meeting will also hear the reports of the party structures and will elect new members to the Party's Political Council. | https://en.inform.kz/news/nur-otan-party-blended-in-with-kazakhstanis-life-senator-zhumagulov_a3501647/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:35Z |
All five starters score at least 17 as Thunder clobber Nets
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 124-108 win over the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night.
The Thunder have won four consecutive games and seven of their past eight, while the Nets have dropped three consecutive contests and eight of their past 10.
Josh Giddey added 20 points, one shy of his season high, hitting a career-high-tying four 3-pointers.
Every Oklahoma City starter scored at least 17 points, with Chet Holmgren and Luguentz Dort each supplying 18 and Jalen Williams going for 17.
The Thunder shot 54.2 percent from the floor, their fourth consecutive game shooting 50 percent or better.
Oklahoma City was 18 of 33 from beyond the arc.
On the first possession of the second half, Williams lobbed a pass up to Holmgren, who threw down an alley-oop dunk.
Moments later, the Thunder took control with a 17-6 run to move ahead 78-67 with 5:37 left in the third quarter.
Giddey had seven points and an assist during the stretch. He ignited the surge with a trey.
The Nets struggled for the entirety of the period, going just 8-for-30 from the floor while missing 13 of 15 3-point attempts.
Mikal Bridges led Brooklyn with 22 points for the game.
Cam Thomas, the Nets' leading scorer, came off the bench for the second consecutive game and finished with 20 points.
Brooklyn got off to a quick start, scoring the game's first eight points. The Nets soon led 18-8 after Bridges drained a 3 with 7:47 remaining in the opening quarter. But the Thunder settled in after their initial struggles, thanks in large part to Gilgeous-Alexander, who had 13 first-quarter points.
Still, Brooklyn led 36-33 after 12 minutes of action, but it found itself trailing 59-56 at the break after shooting just 24.1 percent overall in the second quarter.
Gilgeous-Alexander and Bridges each had 17 points before intermission for their respective teams.
After pulling away in the third quarter, Oklahoma City led by as much as 21 in the fourth.

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.971theriver.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:38Z |

Onlookers were outraged when an endangered blue groper was illegally speared north of Wollongong.
Cronulla locals believe the fish to be the legendary blue groper known as Gus, understood to be 40 years old and known to divers and swimmers in the area.
Tenille Piek, who told ACM earlier this year how her scuba diving family had swam with Gus at Cronulla's Oak Park for more than 30 years, fears the worst.
"Blue gropers are pretty territorial," the devastated Cronulla resident said. "Going by his tail and body shape, I would be very surprised if it's not him."
Ms Piek said her mother was the first person to approach the spear fisherman, and requested to take his photo.
"He smiled and showed off his killing," Ms Piek said.
"He did not appear to know it was a protected species and he could be fined up to $22 000, or given six months' imprisonment.
"My mother and father told the man off and explained the local laws, which are clearly displayed on sign posts placed at Oak Park by the Department of Primary Industries.
"He had no cares. He walked off proudly, while locals followed closely behind to report him and hopefully see the number plate on his car.
"When police arrived, the man walked with them down to the water. He said he threw the groper back in, but locals who had been watching him [disputed that]."
Blue gropers are a protected species and it is illegal to spear them, with a maximum penalty of $22,000 or six months' jail available to courts.
Spearfishing is also banned from the southern end of the Oak Park rock pool to the entrance of, and all around, Port Hacking.
New warning signs were erected in the area only a month ago by the fisheries division of the Department of Primary Industries (DPI).
Police were called to Oak Park on Saturday, December 30, and spoke to a spear fisherman.
Onlookers were told the matter would be handed over to the DPI.
It has been reported that after police inquiries, a man was issued a penalty notice for taking a groper and not using a rod, line or handline, which carries a penalty of $500.
A DPI spokeswoman said it was "investigating after a photograph was obtained showing a large blue groper that may have been illegally taken by spear".
In December, an ACM publication, the Leader, published a Letter to the Editor from Ms Piek about the new warning signs.
Ms Piek pleaded for follow-through by DPI inspectors, along with answers to questions about the similar killing of a blue groper in May this year, which led to the new signs being erected.
"Here we are months later and another groper has been killed, leaving our local community to question if there really are going to be any consequences," she said.
"How can we protect this space for our children's children? How does one have all the gear and no idea?
"Locals are demanding action. Awareness and education is only the beginning. Please help us achieve that."
The DPI spokeswoman said groper were protected from commercial fishing and spearfishing, and can only legally be taken by line in NSW.
For recreational fishers a minimum size limit of 30cm and a bag limit of two (with only one fish over 60cm) applies.
"Penalties may include a $500 on the spot fine per offence for taking a groper by any method other than a line or handline, possession of prohibited size or exceeding the bag limit," she said.
"Maximum penalties by way of court prosecution for an individual are $22,000 and/or six months imprisonment for a first offence relating to size and bag limits, and $11,000 for taking groper by an unlawful method.
"NSW DPI installed highly visible spearfishing signage in early November 2023 near the Oak Park rock pool and the Salmon Haul Reserve, Cronulla, to increase awareness of the Port Hacking spearfishing closures.
"The new signage contributes to a well-informed and responsible fishing community and provides contact information to report illegal fishing activities.'

A group of school pupils spread seasonal cheer by charitable giving, acts of kindness and volunteering to make sure no one faces the challenges of winter alone.
Students from The Valley Leadership Academy in Bacup stepped up their efforts this winter to support the most vulnerable people through the Winter Gift Programme.
The Winter Gift Programme is an annual campaign which sees pupils and staff from every Star Academies school unite to participate in a range of charitable giving, acts of kindness and volunteering.
Shane Carey, Principal at The Valley Leadership Academy, said: “Our Winter Gift Programme not only supports the most vulnerable members of our community, but affords our pupils the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and to experience the personal satisfaction that comes from demonstrating kindness and helping those less fortunate. It gives me an enormous sense of pride to see our pupils, parents and colleagues embrace this invaluable campaign with such incredible compassion and generosity.”

Throughout the campaign, the school will be supporting those in their community – young and old – who are unwell, elderly or living in care, and those experiencing homelessness, loneliness or food poverty. As well as benefiting vulnerable people, pupils will also gain from their involvement by expanding their leadership qualities – by devising, organising and taking part in charitable endeavours – and experiencing first-hand the positive impact of helping those less fortunate.
The children have been taking part in a wide range of activities to support numerous local charities and support organisations this winter season. To spread kindness and joy through the local community the school ran a Christmas Card Competition.
The contest was won by Eleanor Hammond in Year 7 whose creative designs featured a beautiful winter scene. The winning design features on the school’s official Christmas card.
Pupils wrote messages of hope on hundreds of cards which were sent to members of the local community. Residents were also given hot chocolate gift packs, which pupils delivered to their homes.
Pupils participated in a ‘Big Cook Off’ to support those experiencing food poverty, providing hundreds of prepared meals to the RAFT Foundation Foodbank in Rossendale. Students and their families also generously donated food items to the school’s reverse advent calendar where donations were used to prepare food hampers for Haslingden Community Link.
Meanwhile, pupils pulled on their winter woollies on Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Rossendale Hospice. | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/kind-hearted-bacup-pupils-making-28367154 | 2024-01-01T04:15:42Z |

"Scientists Warn ‘Doing Your Own Research’ Is ‘Dangerous’ and Turns People Into ‘Conspiracy Theorists’", according to a new report published by Journal Nature. The climate science community is sounding the alarm about the grave dangers of climate engineering operations "if" they were to be implemented while still denying the fact that such operations have already been fully deployed for over 75 years. The weather-makers are increasingly desperate to engineer winter weather whenever and wherever they can, patented processes of chemical ice nucleation cloud seeding are core to the equation. What is the true extent of damage already done to the planet? Is an abrupt climate collapse scenario already unfolding?

New mother Osaka makes winning return in Brisbane
BRISBANE, Jan 1 (Reuters) - Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka looked solid on her return to elite tennis after 15 months out as she beat Germany's Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6(9) in the first round of the Brisbane International on Monday.
The 26-year-old from Japan last competed on tour at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September 2022 and had her first child, daughter Shai, in July before stepping up her preparations for the Jan. 14-28 Australian Open.
Osaka displayed no signs of rust to break Korpatsch to love in her first game back and the former world number one turned up the heat again towards the end of the opening set to close it out in 38 minutes with a sizzling forehand winner.
Twice Melbourne Park champion Osaka dropped serve for a second time late in the next set to squander her advantage but continued her clean ball-striking in the fiercely contested tiebreak to secure the victory.
Up next for Osaka is a clash with former world number one Karolina Pliskova, who received a bye into the second round.

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.971theriver.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:45Z |

A man is behind bars after police seized 35 garbage bags of cannabis leaf and plant products, along with "unexplained" cash from a parolee who'd fled his state.
The man was driving a Mazda 3 sedan when he was pulled over by police in Picton on the evening of December 30, 2023.
"When speaking with the Victorian man, who did not hold a valid driver's license, a strong smell of cannabis was detected by the officers," Traffic and Highway Patrol Command officers said.
Police searched the vehicle and allegedly found 1.5 kilograms of loose cannabis in a bag, along with 34 bags of cannabis 'roots and stumps', and a "large unexplained sum of cash".
The man, who is currently on parole from a Victorian court, is under orders not to leave that state.
He was arrested and charged with supply prohibited drug (greater than indictable quantity), deal with proceeds of crime, and licence expired (less than two years).
The man was refused bail to appear at Picton Local Court on January 10, 2024.
"His parole office was contacted in relation to his breach, and are looking forward to his return to them upon being released from New South Wales," traffic command officers said. | https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/8473899/victorian-parolee-arrested-with-35-bags-of-cannabis-cash-in-picton/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:46Z |

Lightning top Habs in Steven Stamkos' historic night
Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist, Steven Stamkos set a franchise record, and the Lightning closed 2023 with a 4-3 rally over the visiting Montreal Canadiens on New Year's Eve.
With the game tied at 2-2 in the third, Kucherov assisted on Calvin de Haan's first goal at 7:49 before notching his team-leading 26th at 14:54.
Those points -- coming on the final two of four straight goals scored by the Lightning -- extended Kucherov's home point streak to 12 games (11 goals, 10 assists).
Brayden Point added a marker and Austin Watson scored one in his 500th NHL game while Victor Hedman had two helpers. Goaltender Jonas Johansson made 27 saves as the Lightning moved to 11-5-3 on home ice and 8-6-0 in the month.
A 16-year Lightning forward, Stamkos had an assist in his 1,038th career game, eclipsing the record set by former teammate Vincent Lecavalier.
The club played part of the second period and all of the third with just four defensemen after Erik Cernak and Haydn Fleury were injured.
Montreal's Cole Caufield, Johnathan Kovacevic and Nick Suzuki tallied, but the Canadiens lost their third straight game and finished 5-5-3 in December.
Goalie Sam Montembeault stopped 16 shots and earned his second career assist.
Montembeault and Johansson kept the game scoreless through 20 minutes with stellar saves on consecutive possessions near the 7:30 mark.
But on Stamkos' milestone night, the center turned the puck over in the second period after Caufield stripped the puck from him and popped in his 10th goal at 3:58, scoring in his second straight game.
In the game's first real physicality, Josh Anderson threw a massive check on Cernak behind the home goal just nine seconds later. Luke Glendening then defended his downed teammate by fighting Anderson.
Montreal made it 2-0 on a bizarre sequence that led to a goal at 11:59 in the period.
After Darren Raddysh sent a harmless shot that Montembeault saved, there appeared to be a stoppage in play despite no whistle.
With the Lightning making a line change and Johansson skating into the corner during what they thought was a break, Montembeault passed the puck to Kovacevic, who sent a 150-foot shot into the vacated net for his fifth score.
The Lightning were fired up after that, as Point notched his 17th on a breakaway at 14:01 and Watson his second by flipping a soft shot that bounced past Montembeault at 17:36.

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."

JACKSON, Miss. – 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.
In response to plaintiffs' saying they do not feel represented by the chief justice or attorney general, Wingate wrote that they failed to prove they had ever complained to local officials or that local officials had been open to listening.
“Further, had the local officials been so obliging, this court is mystified why Jackson’s system of criminal justice is in the deplorable shape it is in, with an overcrowded docket requiring defendants to jettison any notion of a speedy disposition,” Wingate wrote.
NAACP attorneys intend to appeal the ruling.
Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office will continue to defend the law and “perform our duties to help protect the people of Jackson from stifling, suffocating crime that plagues the city,” chief of staff Michelle Williams said Sunday.
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.”

Off-road vehicle collides with passenger bus in Karaganda region
KARAGANDA. KAZINFORM An off-road vehicle collided with a passenger bus in Karaganda region, Kazinform correspondent reports.
The accident occurred on Saturday at 09:00 in 3 kilometers from Satpayev town when Toyota Land Cruiser 100 smashed into NefAZ bus.
35 mine workers were in the bus at the time of accident. According to preliminary data, a 28-year-old driver of the bus failed to control the vehicle because of dense fog and crossed into the oncoming lane. A 42-year-old passenger of the bus was hospitalized with various injuries.
A pre-trial investigation has been launched. | https://en.inform.kz/news/off-road-vehicle-collides-with-passenger-bus-in-karaganda-region_a3498914/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:49Z |
Future rounds of Hyndburn’s Household Support Fund to help residents cope with the cost of living crisis should involve the issuing of shopping vouchers for borough businesses, a councillor has suggested.
The idea was floated by Great Harwood Labour councillor Scott Brerton after a meeting of the authority’s communities and wellbeing scrutiny committee
Lyndsey Sims, chief executive of the Hyndburn Leisure Trust which administers the fund on behalf of Hyndburn Council, presented a report to councillors which set out how the first three rounds of the funding had supported residents in need across the borough, including help with food, utilities, broadband, white goods and housing costs, as well as a wide range of advice and guidance.
Overton ward’s Cllr Brerton, whilst warmly welcoming the report, asked for one issue to be kept under review - the use of supermarket vouchers.

He said: “I accept that the current use of supermarket vouchers is quite effective and helps reduce the stigma of asking for help when compared to being given food parcels, the contents of which you have no choice over.
“However, these vouchers are for Aldi and Tesco and people are unable to use these in local shops and market stalls that often represent better value for residents.
“More than £500,000 has been spent on food support over the past few rounds of the Household Support Fund and a significant amount of this has been Aldi and Tesco vouchers, which represents money leaving the Hyndburn economy.
“I’m asking that this policy is reviewed for further rounds and options explored that may help people be able to shop local and support local businesses.”
Ms Sims agreed to the request to keep the use of vouchers under review and explore other options.
Cllr Peter Britcliffe, acting leader of Hyndburn Council, said: “We are really proud of the successful administration of the Household Support Fund and thank the Hyndburn Leisure Trust team for all their hard work reaching residents in need with this vital funding.
“It is important that we administer the funding in line with the government requirements, in the best and easiest way for residents to access, and also give value for money of the service.
“Throughout the several rounds of Household Support Fund already delivered we have adapted and evolved following evaluation and customer feedback, this will continue going forward and we always welcome ideas that can then be looked into.” | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/shopping-vouchers-local-businesses-should-28367105 | 2024-01-01T04:15:52Z |

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.971theriver.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:52Z |
Twelve-year-old Isabella "Izzie" Zaharis reckoned she would keep the very sellable dollar coin she had just minted. Or at least her mother did.
"It'll stay in the family," her mother Leisa Zaharis said quickly as her daughter contemplated selling it.
The Wollongong girl had just come top of the ballot to be allowed to press the button at the Royal Australian Mint for the country's first coin of the year.
It was also the world's first newly-minted coin of 2024. Because New Zealand, ahead of Australia on the time zone, doesn't have a mint, Isabella's coin was the first minted in 2024 anywhere.
As Izzie did the business inside the Mint, another 99 people waited outside for their chance to mint the next 99.
Coin dealer Tomas Rodriguez at number 23 in the queue outside said that the first coin of the year could be resold to collectors for anything from $600 to $1000 dollars.
"After coin number one, the value does drop quite significantly. Number two might be worth $400 to $500. Number three might be worth $300 to $400," Mr Rodriguez of Aussie Coins and Notes said.
"After you get beyond 10, they would all be worth about $150 each, maybe $200."
He said he was number 23 "very proudly" - so was the wait worth it? "Definitely".
The theme of the new set of coins is "Out of the World - Australia in Space". King Charles is on one side and images of space are on the reverse (the tails side).
The chief executive of the Mint, Leigh Gordon, said, "This year, we collaborated with the Australian Space Agency to showcase the incredible discoveries our astrophysicist are making in what is known as the final frontier or deep space."
Astrophysicist and cosmologist at the Mount Stromlo Observatory Brad Tucker said the new theme on Australian coins was "exciting to be a part of".
"Our connection to space and the stars is always amazing. From Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who have measured and connected with stars for 60,000 years, to the Apollo 11 landing, and beyond, we like to look up," he said.
"Now, we can enjoy a bit of that connection on our coins."
Those first 100 coins minted on January 1 can be used in the shops but they also came with a certificate of authenticity so they have the extra value to collectors.
There was a little bit of a glitch. The Mint's chief executive drew the first number out of the revolving drum and announced it as 0990 - but nobody came forward to claim the number and so get the first coin of the year.
There was some speculation among the people watching that he had in fact read the ticket the wrong way up, so it was really 0660 - which would mean that the holder of the 0660 ticket may wonder if he or she lost the chance of a collectable - and sellable - item.
Not so, said the Mint. The tickets had the numbers underlined so they could only be read one way. | https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/8473912/12yo-isabella-zaharis-mints-the-worlds-first-coin-in-2024/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:53Z |

China's Xi, US President Biden exchange congratulations on 45th year of diplomatic ties
BEIJING, Jan 1 (Reuters) - China's President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulations with U.S. President Joe Biden on the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday.
Xi also exchanged New Year's messages with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, and both announced 2024 to be a "friendship year" for both countries, launching a series of activities for that, Xinhua said separately.
On New Year's Eve, the Chinese leader exchanged New Year's greetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin as well. This year is the 75th anniversary of China and Russia establishing diplomatic relations.
Xi said China and Russia should "continuously consolidate" and develop ties "featuring permanent good-neighbourly friendship", along with comprehensive strategic coordination and mutually beneficial cooperation that would serve both countries' interests.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong, who defeated Republic of China forces led by Chiang Kai-shek in a bloody civil war.
Mao declared the People's Republic of China on Oct. 1, 1949, while Chiang's government fled into exile in Taiwan in December of that year. No peace treaty has ever been signed to end the war and the Republic of China remains Taiwan's formal name.
Xi in his New Year's
address
on Sunday said China's "reunification" with Taiwan is inevitable, striking a stronger tone than he did a year earlier with less than two weeks to go before the democratically governed island elects a new leader. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-12915703/Chinas-Xi-US-President-Biden-exchange-congratulations-45th-year-diplomatic-ties.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-01-01T04:15:54Z |
ISRO Rockets Into New Year With Successful Launch Of XPoSat
With XPoSat, the ISRO successfully launched its first mission of 2024 on the very first day of the new year.
Trending Photos
New Delhi: Today, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved a successful launch of the nation's inaugural polarimetry mission, XPoSat. This mission is designed to explore the diverse dynamics of intense astronomical X-ray sources under extreme conditions. ISRO executed the launch of the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) from the Sriharikota spaceport on Monday at the planned time of 9:10 am. The XPoSat was effectively placed into its designated orbit, positioned approximately 650 km above the Earth's surface.
According to ISRO The XPOSAT satellite has two payloads:
POLIX: This will measure the polarimetry parameters (degree and angle of polarization) in medium X-ray energy range of 8-30 keV photons of astronomical origin. The payload is being developed by Ramam Research Institute (RRI), Bangalore in collaboration with U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC). The instrument is made of a collimator, a scatterer and four X-ray proportional counter detectors that surrounds the scatterer. The scatterer is made of low atomic mass material which causes anisotropic Thomson scattering of incoming polarised X-rays. The collimator restricts the field of view to 3 degree x 3 degree so as to have only one bright source in the field of view for most observations. POLIX is expected to observer about 40 bright astronomical sources of different categories during the planned lifetime of XPoSat mission of about 5 years. This is the first payload in the medium X-ray energy band dedicated for polarimetry measurements.
XSPECT: Will give spectroscopic information in the energy range of 0.8-15 keV. An X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing payload onboard XPoSat, which can provide fast timing and good spectroscopic resolution in soft X-rays. Taking advantage of the long duration observations required by POLIX to measure X-ray polarization, XSPECT can provide long-term monitoring of spectral state changes in continuum emission, changes in their line flux and profile, simultaneous long term temporal monitoring of soft X-ray emission in the X-ray energy range 0.8-15 keV. An array of Swept Charge Devices (SCDs) provide an effective area >30 cm2 at 6 keV with energy resolution better than 200 eV at 6 keV. Passive collimators are used to reduce the background by narrowing the field of view of XSPECT. XSPECT would observe several types of sources viz X-ray pulsars, blackhole binaries, low-magnetic field neutron star (NS) in LMXBs, AGNs and Magnetars.
The objective of the mission is to measure polarisation of X-rays in the energy band 8-30keV emanating from about 50 potential cosmic sources through Thomson Scattering by POLIX payload. To carry out long term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources in the energy band 0.8-15keV by XSPECT payload. To carry out polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emissions from cosmic sources by POLIX and XSPECT payloads respectively in the common energy band.
The emission mechanism from various astronomical sources such as blackhole, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, pulsar wind nebulae etc. originates from complex physical processes and are challenging to understand. The exact nature of the emission from such sources still poses deeper challenges to astronomers. The polarimetry measurements add two more dimension to understanding, the degree of polarization and the angle of polarization and thus is a diagnostic tool to understand the emission processes from astronomical sources.

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.

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.971theriver.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:15:59Z |
Tennis-New mother Osaka makes winning return in Brisbane
BRISBANE, Jan 1 (Reuters) - Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka looked solid on her return to elite tennis after 15 months out as she beat Germany's Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6(9) in the first round of the Brisbane International on Monday.
The 26-year-old from Japan last competed on tour at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September 2022 and had her first child, daughter Shai, in July before stepping up her preparations for the Jan. 14-28 Australian Open.
Osaka displayed no signs of rust to break Korpatsch to love in her first game back and the former world number one turned up the heat again towards the end of the opening set to close it out in 38 minutes with a sizzling forehand winner.
Twice Melbourne Park champion Osaka dropped serve for a second time late in the next set to squander her advantage but continued her clean ball-striking in the fiercely contested tiebreak to secure the victory.
"I was super nervous but I was really excited to be out here. It feels really good to be back," Osaka said after taking pictures with fans courtside.
"I feel like the last couple of years that I played before I had my daughter I didn't return as much love as I was given, so I really feel like that's what I want to do in this chapter.
"I just really appreciate people coming out and cheering for me, because I feel there was a time that I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play. So it feels really surreal sometimes to be playing on these courts."
Up next for Osaka is a clash with former world number one Karolina Pliskova, who received a bye into the second round.

Oil prices at three-month high with weaker dollar
International benchmark Brent crude was trading at $67.40 per barrel at 1230 GMT on Friday, after opening Monday at $66.39 a barrel - a 1.5 percent weekly gain, Anadolu Agency reports.
American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained 1.9 percent over the week to trade at $57.41 a barrel at the same time after starting Monday at $56.33 per barrel.
Both benchmarks recorded their highest levels since Nov. 16. Brent climbed to as high as $67.69 per barrel on Friday while the price of WTI hit as high as $57.61 on Thursday, according to official data.
The Fed increased its benchmark interest rate four times in 2018, however, the central bank's decision announced on Jan. 30 to be "patient" for further rate hikes this year has since pushed the American dollar lower against other major currencies.
The U.S. dollar index, which includes the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc, fell 0.51 percent on Jan. 30, according to official data.
The index was at 96.523 at 1230 GMT on Friday, down 0.25 percent over the week after it opened Monday at 96.770, the data showed.
Since oil prices are indexed to the American dollar, the lower value for the greenback is likely to trigger higher oil demand around the world. | https://en.inform.kz/news/oil-prices-at-three-month-high-with-weaker-dollar_a3501255/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:04Z |
Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination
(CNN) - Some powdered baby formula is being pulled from the shelves due to contamination issues.
On Sunday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers of possible bacterial contamination in Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products.
Manufacturers voluntarily recalled more than 675,000 cans of the formula.
The recall batches include ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and use by date of Jan. 1, 2025.

The FDA says that no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company says no other Nutramigen liquid formulas or any other Reckitt nutrition products are impacted.

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.971theriver.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:06Z |
Arizona State tops Cal with another 2nd-half rally
Arizona State rallied from 16 points down behind six 3-pointers in the second half to beat California 71-69 Sunday night in a Pac-12 game in Berkeley.
In the second half, Frankie Collins scored 17 of his career-high 25 points and Kamari Lands had all 11 of his points behind 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range.
Arizona State (8-5, 2-0) have consecutive comeback wins after coming back from down double digits against Stanford to win on Friday.
Dating back to coach Bobby Hurley's first season at Arizona State in 2015-16, the Sun Devils lead the Pac-12 with 43 comebacks after trailing at halftime.
The Golden Bears (4-9, 0-2) took the lead at 3-2 with 18:13 left in the first half and did not trail until Collins made a layup with 3:12 left in the game to put Arizona State ahead 64-62.
Fardaws Aimaq converted a three-point play with 1:58 left to give Cal a 65-64 lead.
Collins answered with a jump shot but Jaylon Tyson was fouled and made both free throws to put the Golden Bears back ahead 67-66 with 1:35 left.
A tied-up ball then turned the ball over to California.
But after Cal's Jalen Cone missed a 3-pointer, Alonzo Gaffney dunked following an offensive rebound gave Arizona State a 68-67 lead with 43 seconds remaining.
California then committed its 10th turnover of the second half and Collins drove for a layup to give Arizona State a 70-67 lead.
Cone then made two free throws with six seconds left.
Collins was fouled two seconds later and made one of two free throws to put Arizona State ahead 71-69.
A 3-point attempt at the buzzer by Tyson fell short.
Tyson finished with 20 points and nine rebounds and Aimaq finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
California led 35-25 at halftime behind 10 points from Tyson and nine by Keonte Kennedy.
An 8-2 start to the second half by the Golden Bears, including 3-pointers by Tyson and Aimaq, gave the Golden Bears a 43-27 lead.
Arizona State did not record an assist until 9:28 remained when Jamiya Neal passed to Gaffney for a 3-pointer that cut the lead to 54-42.
Arizona State then outscored California 16-6 behind 11 points from Lands -- including three 3-pointers -- to cut the lead to 60-58 with 4:49 left and set the stage for the final comeback.

Most people, if asked to prove that the earth is round, would not even bother to produce the rather weak arguments I have outlined above. They would start off by saying that ‘everyone knows’ the earth to be round, and if pressed further, would become angry. In a way Shaw is right. This is a credulous age, and the burden of knowledge which we now have to carry is partly responsible.

Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination
(CNN) - Some powdered baby formula is being pulled from the shelves due to contamination issues.
On Sunday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers of possible bacterial contamination in Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products.
Manufacturers voluntarily recalled more than 675,000 cans of the formula.
The recall batches include ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and use by date of Jan. 1, 2025.
According to the FDA, the formula tested positive for Cronobacter bacteria, which can cause rare but potentially deadly infections in newborns.
The FDA says that no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company says no other Nutramigen liquid formulas or any other Reckitt nutrition products are impacted.

Warming up to start off 2024
An active weather pattern starts off the new year
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - As we wrap up 2023, the state is looking at some active weather in the first week of the new year.
Southcentral saw clouds and precipitation move north with temperatures warming on the last day of December. As of 5 p.m., Anchorage hit 20 degrees for the high, up from 4 degrees on Saturday. Anchorage will see some wind out of the north-northeast on New Year’s Eve and sunshine on Monday with a high of 24 degrees. Anchorage currently has 79.5 inches of snow for the winter, ending December with 39 inches of snow, the third snowiest December on record for the city.
The active weather pattern will be comprised of at least three low-pressure systems impacting Alaska over the week. Two are surging up from the north Pacific, with a weaker system over the far western Aleutian chain. But that will change as a large storm brings high winds, gusts to 65 and 75 mph. Winter storm and high wind watches are up for the central and eastern chain in advance of the storm’s arrival.
Wind and blowing snow will press into the western coasts and Bering Strait going into 2024. A Blizzard Warning has been issued for the western Arctic coast as gusts hit 55 mph. Winter weather conditions are also likely to hit the northern coast as well, so a watch takes effect Tuesday and runs through Friday. Here, gusts could ramp up to 65 mph.

Glendale, AZ – The matchup can be likened to David vs. Goliath. But Liberty hasn’t been intimidated by anyone this season. There are no plans on changing that Monday. Meanwhile Oregon is doing its best to not overlook the Flames.
Game recognizes game—it is no different for Liberty and Oregon. While on paper the Ducks are a 17 point favorite, they realize that going undefeated is a tough task in todays game of college football.
“There a really tough with the team and they won every game for a reason and that’s because they are really good. So we have to bring our best,” Oregon Coach Dan Lanning says.
“It doesn’t take a lot of time to watch the video to know how talented they are. If you look at all the three faces, and we share with them that they are six points away from playing for the national championship,” Liberty head coach Jamey Chadwell says.
But the Flames and Ducks are meeting for the first time ever, while still produces a sense of the unknown. The situation leaves both teams to lock in on what they do know— to play relentless and fearless for 48 minutes.
“Yeah, I think the biggest key for us to get off the field on third down. That’s something that we harped on the whole year just because we’re playing in the Fiesta Bowl doesn’t mean we have to change the recipe of the food but just getting off the field on third down is something that will be really key in this game,” Liberty safety Brylan Green says.
“We feel strongly that if we run the ball instead of standard early and get the chains moving in, those will create the explosive, please as we go, and we just have to be really efficient,” Oregon quarterback Bo Nix explains.
“This is the biggest game we have ever been in and to be able to come out with the win versus a team that was one loss away from competing for a national championship -- that would be huge for Liberty,” Flames receiver Aaron Bedgood says.
And as for a final message for the team before they run out the tunnel?
“Be in the moment, but don’t be of the moment it’s the biggest one that our group of people have played in and I don’t want it to be too big for them. They belong here they have earned the right to be here so enjoy it, but don’t let it be too big,” Flames coach Jamey Chadwell says.:”.
Liberty feels that as the underdog, Oregon has more pressure to step up and perform. While this is the Flames first trip to the Fiesta Bowl, Athletics Director Ian McCaw was here about 9 years ago. We had a chance to catch up with him., and we’ll have that exclusive interview online at wsls.com. | https://www.wsls.com/sports/2024/01/01/liberty-is-looking-to-buck-long-odds-in-fiesta-bowl/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:09Z |

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.necn.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/taylor-swift-matches-travis-kelces-jacket-at-chiefs-nye-game/3124917/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:10Z |
Colorado mom wanted for killing 2 of her children arrested in United Kingdom
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - A mother wanted in connection with the deaths of two of her children has been arrested in the United Kingdom, according to police.
Colorado Springs Police say Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody without incident.
On December 19, just after midnight, police responded to a call about a burglary in the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point.
When police arrived, they found two children, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, dead inside the residence.
Singler and an 11-year-old girl were found with injuries and taken to a local hospital. All three children are Singler’s children.
As the investigation continued, a warrant for Singler’s arrest was issued on December 26. The arrest warrant included charges of murder in the first degree, child abuse, and assault.
A $10,000,000 bond was set by the court.

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.
In response to plaintiffs' saying they do not feel represented by the chief justice or attorney general, Wingate wrote that they failed to prove they had ever complained to local officials or that local officials had been open to listening.
“Further, had the local officials been so obliging, this court is mystified why Jackson’s system of criminal justice is in the deplorable shape it is in, with an overcrowded docket requiring defendants to jettison any notion of a speedy disposition,” Wingate wrote.
NAACP attorneys intend to appeal the ruling.
Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office will continue to defend the law and “perform our duties to help protect the people of Jackson from stifling, suffocating crime that plagues the city,” chief of staff Michelle Williams said Sunday.
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.”

Olympics: Tokyo Games eye sharp rise in opening, closing ceremony budget
TOKYO. KAZINFORM The organizers of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games on Friday increased the budget for the opening and closing ceremonies roughly 43 percent to 13 billion yen ($117 million).
The organizing committee's board of directors, having decided on the principle plans for the ceremonies, determined the 9.1 billion yen rough estimate generated at the time of Tokyo's bid would not be enough, Kyodo News reports.
With the Tokyo Games already facing tough financial choices, the organizers decided to keep the budget for the ceremonies smaller than that for the 2012 London Olympics ($144 million) and the 2024 Paris Games ($134 million).

For one week in October, 20 years ago, the world came to Canberra, as Australia sought to solidify its trading relationships.
In an “extraordinary occurrence”, United States president George W Bush and Chinese president Hu Jintao addressed the joint houses of parliament on consecutive days.
Mr Bush spent just 20 hours in Australia at the end of an Indo-Pacific tour, but in that time he brushed shoulders with wildlife warrior Steve Irwin and his wife Terri at a gala event.
A trove of cabinet documents from 2003 have been released by the National Archives of Australia on Monday, including a photo of the moment the group met.
In cabinet documents, details of the aviation security arrangements for Mr Bush’s visit have now been released, outlining the Australian Defence Force’s plans to deploy a number of RAAF combat aircraft for 24-hour patrols for the period of Mr Bush’s visit.
During his speech to parliament on October 23, Mr Bush lauded then-prime minister John Howard for his “exceptional courage” in committing Australian troops to Iraq and spoke of his pride in calling his fellow world leader a friend.
Mr Bush defended the controversial decision to use force in Afghanistan and Iraq, maintaining the effort had been about keeping terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction.
As he spoke about the downfall of Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi regime, however, his speech was interrupted by Greens senators Bob Brown and Kerry Nettle, who were later removed.
Cabinet historian David Lee said it was because of Australia’s participation in the Iraq was that negotiations with the US on a free-trade agreement could begin.
The agreement was signed in May 2004 and came into effect on January 1, 2005.
Professor Lee noted the trade agreement was negotiated and signed so quickly because of the context of the Iraq war.
Mr Bush’s fleeting visit to Australia coincided with a four-day trip from Mr Hu, as China was on the cusp of becoming Australia’s most significant trading partner.
During his address to the joint houses, Mr Hu heralded the three decades of diplomatic relations the two countries had already shared, and looked to the long-term.
With economic globalisation developing in such depth, no country can expect to achieve economic development without going for effective economic and technological cooperation with other countries and actively participating in international division of labour,” he said at the time.
It was during 2003 that Australia and China made steps towards a free-trade agreement, and Canberra committed to recognising China as a market economy “in due course”.
Former defence minister Robert Hill said there had been “a much greater optimism” of the China relationship in 2003 and “how it would develop over the years”.
“Of course, what’s happened over the years is, it’s been found out that to separate the values system from the economic relationship has become more and more difficult, and thus the China relationship has run into troubled waters,” he said.
During his speech, Mr Hu also spoke about China’s goal for a “complete reunification of China”, and the hope of a peaceful solution to the Taiwan question.
Beyond China and Australia, cabinet documents from 2003 reveal submissions on other trade agreements were considered, including with Singapore, Thailand, and Japan. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/business/behind-george-w-bushs-brief-brush-with-steve-and-terri-irwin-c-13080841 | 2024-01-01T04:16:10Z |

Domantas Sabonis (triple-double) carries Kings past Grizzlies
Domantas Sabonis snatched a game-high 21 rebounds as part of a triple-double, De'Aaron Fox got the better of Ja Morant in their point guard duel and the Sacramento Kings ran off from the host Memphis Grizzlies for a 123-92 victory Sunday night.
Fox finished with 24 points, seven more than Morant in their first head-to-head of the season, helping the Kings complete a winning trip with a second straight victory after an opening loss at Portland.
Jaren Jackson Jr. put up a team-high 18 points for the Grizzlies, while Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard matched Morant's 17. Memphis lost its third in a row.
The teams battled to a 29-all tie into the final minute of the first quarter before Sacramento took the upper hand for good by scoring 12 straight points bridging the two periods. Trey Lyles and Fox contributed 3-pointers to the burst.
Sacramento went on to lead 70-58 at halftime before blowing the game open. The Kings held the hosts to one point over the first 4:28 of the third quarter en route to a 78-59 advantage.
Sabonis complemented his season-high rebound total with 13 points and a game-high 12 assists for his sixth triple-double of the year.
The 21 rebounds were four off his career-best set in November 2021 at Minnesota while he was with the Indiana Pacers. He also recorded a triple-double that night against the Timberwolves, and now has four in which he grabbed at least 20 boards.
Malik Monk paced the Kings with 27 points off the bench, making four of his five 3-point shots. The Kings went 16-for-33 as a team from long range, while Memphis was just 12-for-40.
Lyles finished with 12 points, Harrison Barnes 11 and Keegan Murray 10 for Sacramento, which next opens a four-game homestand.
Bane had team highs in rebounds (seven) and assists (six) for the Grizzlies, who were opening a three-game homestand.
Marcus Smart chipped in with 12 points and three steals for Memphis, which had scored at least 105 points in all six previous games since Morant returned from his season-opening suspension.

BRISBANE – Naomi Osaka’s first win at the elite level since becoming a mother didn’t come easily. It did come on Day 1 of the year, though. So that was two items Osaka checked off the list Monday for her comeback to professional tennis.
The former No. 1-ranked Osaka was broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set and needed three match points before converting in the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the first round of the Brisbane International.
“I was super nervous the whole time,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player.
A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year’s Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her partner, rapper Cordae, became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July.
Osaka had only played one game since her first-round exit at the 2022 U.S. Open. She was leading Daria Gavrilova 1-0 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September of that year before the Australian retired from the match with injury.
Osaka said she has a renewed focus on living in the moment when it comes to her tennis.
“The last couple years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” she told the crowd at Pat Rafter Arena. "So I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter.
"I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me.
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 at the Brisbane International, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne.

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.

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.wokv.com/news/national/vikings-bench-qb/RXQTYOM6SYDZ6SBMZQQI5AJB4I/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:17Z |
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.necn.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/wonka-no-1-at-box-office-again-as-2023-ends-2-billion-shy-of-pre-pandemic-sales/3124913/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:16Z |

Olympics: Tokyo says venues for 2020 on course, unveils to media
The Athletes' Village includes 21 buildings with 14 to 18 stories. The construction work is 70 percent complete and expected to end in spring next year.
An artificial lane at the Kasai Canoe Slalom Center, which is 200 meters in length and has elevation difference of 4.5 meters, is expected to be set up in May.
Work to construct its administration buildings has been delayed due to the bankruptcy of the contractor in charge. But a metropolitan government official stressed that test events will be held at the course in October as scheduled by using temporary facilities.
The Tokyo Aquatics Centre, which will host swimming, diving and synchronized swimming events, has already had its 7,000-ton roof raised, giving a rough idea of what the venue will look like.
At the Ariake Gymnastic Centre, which will have one of the world's largest timber roofs, work continued to locate 70-meter joists that help form a characteristic arch roof on it. | https://en.inform.kz/news/olympics-tokyo-says-venues-for-2020-on-course-unveils-to-media_a3497628/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:18Z |
Instant Analysis: Maryland 31, Auburn 13
The Terps got out to a red-hot start in Nashville and never looked back, scoring touchdowns on each of their first three drives of the game, building a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Redshirt sophomore quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. threw for 126 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for a team-high 50 yards and another TD on the ground.
The Maryland defense forced four Auburn turnovers, helping the Terps cruise to a 31-13 win.
With the Music City Bowl trophy secured, the Terps have now won bowl games in three consecutive seasons for the first time in program history as they will finish the 2023 campaign with a final record of 8-5.
Edwards' hot start helps Terps build early lead in Nashville
With starting quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa choosing to opt out ahead of the Terps' bowl game, head coach Mike Locksley turned to backup signal caller Billy Edwards Jr. in Nashville.
He did not disappoint in the early goings, earning game MVP honors for his play.
Edwards led the Terps on a pair of touchdown drives to start the game. The redshirt sophomore threw a 61-yard screen pass to running back Roman Hemby and then punched it into the end zone himself from two yards out on a QB keeper to give the Terps a 7-0 lead less than two minutes into the game. .
On the Terps' second drive of the game, Edwards had a first down run, had a 3rd down conversion through the air and threw a touchdown pass to freshman tight end Preston Howard. In the blink of an eye, the Terps were up 14-0 with just under 6 minutes remaining in the first quarter.
Redshirt freshman Cam Edge got the call for the Terps' third offensive possession of the game and led a third straight touchdown drive but it was Edwards who gave Maryland the two-touchdown cushion.
Shorthanded secondary steps up
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the game for Maryland was the play of the Terps' secondary.
With All-Big Ten cornerback Tarheeb Still on the sideline in street clothes and several key backups having already entered the transfer portal, the Terps' secondary was shorthanded and looking for several youngsters to step up versus Auburn.
Redshirt freshman cornerback Perry Fisher answered the call, with a huge performance that included three tackles, a couple of pass breakups and a sack.
Junior safety Glen Miller had a 44-yard pick six early in the third quarter for Maryland's first points of the second half. He picked up right where he left off in the Terps' regular season finale at Rutgers, recording an interception for a second straight game and his fourth of the year.
Redshirt freshman backup safety Lavain Scruggs also got in on the action with a late interception of his own.
Junior safety Dante Trader Jr. also played an excellent game, despite finishing with just a single tackle. He was all over the field throughout the game, recording a pass breakup and also coming up with an interception that was called back due to a roughing the passer penalty.
Program making progress
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Maryland's Music City Bowl win is the perception of the program following the game.
The Terps went out and dominated a historically strong SEC program from start to finish in front of a national audience.
The win also shows the progress the program has made under head coach Mike Locksley as they head into Year 6.
Saturday's win over Auburn gave the Terps a second straight eight-win season and a third straight season with a winning record. But perhaps most importantly, the Terps won a bowl game for a third consecutive season for the first time in program history. Not Ralph Friedgen or Bobby Ross or Jerry Claiborne or even Jim Tatum can say they won bowl games in three consecutive seasons.
Maryland football appears to be on solid footing for the foreseeable future as they navigate a Big Ten conference that continues to get bigger and better moving forward.

There are few firsts left in the incredible career of Novak Djokovic.
But for about 2000 lucky and patient Perth tennis fans they were able to witness yet another when the tennis star rang in the New Year on court with them at RAC Arena.
Moments after the 24-time grand slam champion sealed the United Cup tie for Serbia alongside teammate Olga Danilovic, Djokovic called upon the crowd to stick around to ring in 2024 with his team.
“I would like to ask since it’s probably only like four or three minutes left (of 2023), how about we celebrate the New Year together?,” Djokovic asked the adoring crowd.
“You stay a few minutes, we have a DJ, he’s going to play some music and then he’s going to do a countdown in a few minutes and then we celebrate together - what do you say?”
The Perth fans were more than happy to do so and the superstar was more than in the spirit, dancing with teammates and getting the crowd involved as he welcomed in 2024, putting behind him an incredible 2023 where he won three majors.
Djokovic did not disappoint the fans who stuck around about six hours to watch Serbia take on China, signing autographs and taking selfies for well over half-an-hour - all the while doing it with a smile.
He would later reveal it was the first time he’d ever seen a New Year on the tennis court in his illustrious career.
“It was a unique experience. We enjoyed it very much,” he said.
“What are the chances to finish seven minutes before New Year’s? It was the perfect kind of scenario that we won.
“Of course, a lot of Serbian flags were present in the stadium. They all chose to celebrate New Year’s with us. We’re grateful for that. A wonderful atmosphere.” | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/tennis/world-no1-novak-djokovic-rings-in-the-new-year-with-2000-lucky-perth-fans-c-13080498 | 2024-01-01T04:16:19Z |
Suns' big three shines in win over Magic
Kevin Durant recorded 31 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals to help the Phoenix Suns post a 112-107 victory over the visiting Orlando Magic on Sunday night.
Bradley Beal scored a season-best 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting as Phoenix won its third straight game. Devin Booker had 21 points and three steals, Jusuf Nurkic added 19 points and 13 rebounds and Grayson Allen tallied 10 points for the Suns.
It was just the fourth occasion that the Suns' big three of Booker, Durant and Beal all played in the same game this season. They combined for 77 points.
Paolo Banchero registered 28 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for Orlando, which lost the opener of a four-game road trip. Franz Wagner had 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Wendell Carter Jr. scored a season-high 17 points and Cole Anthony had 13 points for the Magic.
After Wagner hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 99 with 7:55 left in the game, Orlando scored just three points over the next 6:45.
Phoenix shot 50 percent from the field, including 8 of 27 from 3-point range. The Suns committed just six turnovers.
Orlando connected on 46.7 percent of its field-goal attempts and made 12 of 37 shots from behind the arc.
The Magic inched ahead at 96-95 on a 3-pointer by Gary Harris with 9:26 left before the Suns put the game away with a 17-6 run.
Durant's 3-pointer with 5:54 left started a string of nine straight Phoenix points that made it 112-102. Nurkic capped the run with an inside basket with 1:56 to play.
Earlier, Booker drained a 3-pointer to cap a 12-2 burst and give the Suns a 79-64 lead with 8:35 left in the third quarter.
Orlando responded by scoring 23 of the next 31 points and tied the game at 87 on Banchero's layup with 14.8 seconds left.
Beal buried a buzzer-beating jumper to give Phoenix an 89-87 edge entering the final stanza.
Booker scored 16 first-half points as the Suns held a 67-58 lead at the break. Banchero had 13 in the half for Orlando.
Phoenix led by as many as 16 points in the opening quarter before taking a 37-24 advantage into the second.
Carter scored 12 points in the second quarter as Orlando cut into the Suns' lead.

Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination
(CNN) - Some powdered baby formula is being pulled from the shelves due to contamination issues.
On Sunday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers of possible bacterial contamination in Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products.
Manufacturers voluntarily recalled more than 675,000 cans of the formula.
The recall batches include ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and use by date of Jan. 1, 2025.
According to the FDA, the formula tested positive for Cronobacter bacteria, which can cause rare but potentially deadly infections in newborns.
The FDA says that no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company says no other Nutramigen liquid formulas or any other Reckitt nutrition products are impacted.

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

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.

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.wokv.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:23Z |
Once thought extinct, world's biggest bee «rediscovered» in Indonesia
Global Wildlife Conservation said in a press statement that a single Wallace's giant bee (Megachile pluto) female was found in late January on Ternate Island in North Maluku Province by a search team of North American and Australian biologists.
"It was absolutely breathtaking to see this 'flying bulldog' of an insect that we weren't sure existed anymore, to have real proof right there in front of us in the wild," said team member Clay Bolt, a natural history photographer specializing in bees who took the first photos and video of the species alive."To actually see how beautiful and big the species is in life, to hear the sound of its giant wings thrumming as it flew past my head, was just incredible," Bolt said.
Females may reach a length of 3.8 centimeters, with a wingspan of over 6 cm. Males are nearly twice as small.
The species was first found and described by British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, co-discoverer of theory of evolution by natural selection, in 1858 on his last day exploring the island of Bacan, also in North Maluku.
It was not seen again until 1981, when entomologist Adam Messer rediscovered it on three islands in the province and observed some of the species' behavior, including how it uses its giant mandibles to gather resin and wood for its nests.
A female specimen was collected by the French-born entomologist Roch Desmier de Chenon in 1991 on the island of Halmahera, but since then, other researchers have had no luck finding the bee.
However, a single female specimen freshly collected on Bacan in February 2018 was sold on an international online auction for thousands of dollars, followed by another later the same year.
The latest confirmation of its existence, according to Global Wildlife Conservation, has raised hopes that more of North Maluku's forests still harbor the insect.
"I hope this rediscovery will spark future research that will give us a deeper understanding of the life history of this very unique bee and inform any future efforts to protect it from extinction," said bee expert Eli Wyman, an entomologist at Princeton University who also was on the team.
According to Bolt, the bee depends on primary lowland forest for resin and the nests of tree-dwelling termites. In Indonesia, forest destruction for agriculture, however, has threatened the habitats of the species and many others.Global Forest Watch said that between 2001 and 2017, Indonesia lost 15 percent of its tree cover.
The conservation group said the bee has also been hunted by wildlife trade collectors due to its impressive size and seemingly rare status, while no legal protection is currently granted for the species.
"We know that putting the news out about this rediscovery could seem like a big risk given the demand, but the reality is that unscrupulous collectors already know that the bee is out there," said conservation biologist Robin Moore, the group's leader.
The team has already started conversations with Indonesian collaborators to look for Wallace's giant bee in other locations with the hope of eventually working together to develop a plan to strengthen conservation measures for the bee, the statement said.
"My dream is to now use this rediscovery to elevate this bee to a symbol of conservation in this part of Indonesia, and a point of pride for the locals there," Bolt said. | https://en.inform.kz/news/once-thought-extinct-world-s-biggest-bee-rediscovered-in-indonesia_a3501089/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:24Z |
Maryland football routs Auburn 31-13 at Music City Bowl
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Michael Locksley has been at Maryland long enough to know that his Terrapins have to earn everything. The transfer portal along with name, image and likeness deals have only made the challenge tougher.
So Maryland showed Saturday the best answer comes on the field.
Billy Edwards Jr. ran for a touchdown and threw for a score as Maryland routed Auburn 31-13 Saturday at the Music City Bowl winning a program-record third straight bowl.
RELATED: Instant analysis of the Terps 31-13 win over Auburn
“Three straight bowl wins, back-to-back eight-win seasons,” Locksley said. “It’s not easy to do here.”
Maryland (8-5) hadn’t even played three consecutive bowls since 2006-08, and the Terps added this victory to their win over Virginia Tech at the Pinstripe Bowl and last year’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl win over North Carolina State.
The Terrapins hadn’t played a Southeastern Conference team in a bowl since routing Tennessee 30-3 in the 2002 Peach Bowl. This game essentially was over before the end of the first quarter, even without Taulia Tagovailoa, the Big Ten’s passing leader this season who opted out for the NFL draft.
Auburn (6-7) ended coach Hugh Freeze's first season back in the SEC losing three straight. The Tigers also lost a fourth straight bowl and their first in three appearances in this bowl, now sponsored by TransPerfect.
“I don’t need anyone to tell me that we don’t measure up, and that starts with me,” Freeze said.
Maryland dominated from the opening snap, taking a 21-0 lead as the Terrapins outgained Auburn 226-13 within the first 12 minutes. The Terrapins also forced four turnovers, keyed by Glendon Miller’s 44-yard pick-6.
“I ran for my life,” Miller said while wearing sunglasses postgame as part of his NIL deal.
Roman Hemby took Edwards’s short pass 61 yards, and Edwards capped the opening drive with a 2-yard TD run. After Maryland right tackle Gottlieb Ayedze recovered a fumble on the next drive, Edwards ran for 17 yards before throwing a 5-yard TD pass to Preston Howard for a 14-0 lead.
“They honestly went by very fast,” Edwards said of the first two drives.
Locksley alternated quarterbacks as promised, and Cameron Edge keyed a 76-yard drive with a 57-yard pass to Kaden Prather before hitting Dylan Wade with a 3-yard TD toss for the 21-0 lead with 3:24 left in the first quarter.
Payton Thorne got Auburn on the board capping a 14-play drive with a 3-yard TD pass to Brandon Frazier with 2:34 left in the first half.
Freshman Hank Brown did his best to make it interesting late in his collegiate debut. He set up Jeremiah Cobb’s 1-yard run in the fourth with a 53-yard pass to Caleb Burton, and another late drive ended on a turnover on downs at the Maryland 15.
THE TAKEAWAY
Auburn: Freeze had a lot of key Tigers missing, including center Avery Jones, defensive tackle Marcus Harris, cornerbacks Nehemiah Pritchett and DJ James and safety Jaylin Simpson. Harris and Simpson both were AP All-SEC picks, with Simpson leading Auburn with four interceptions, while Harris had a team-high seven sacks. Simpson, Harris, Pritchett and James all plan to enter the NFL draft.
The Tigers also lost four wide receivers to the transfer portal, the biggest Ja’Varrius Johnson.
Maryland: Locksley got a good look at his options to replace Tagovailoa for 2024. The competition will only increase with MJ Morris, who announced his decision to transfer from North Carolina State to the Terps a couple weeks ago.

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.wokv.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T04:16:30Z |
