Colorado mother suspected of killing her 2 children and wounding a third arrested in United Kingdom
A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third was arrested Saturday in the United Kingdom, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Kimberlee Singler's 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead on Dec. 19 when police responded to a report of a burglary at their home. Police later said the report turned out to be unfounded.
Singler, 35, initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, said Ira Cronin, spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Authorities were unable to apprehend her after obtaining an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder, among other allegations.
Singler was not under surveillance and was last seen in Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, said Cronin.
Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies.
Attempts to reach Singler for comment through phone numbers listed for her were unsuccessful. Cronin said he didn't know if she has an attorney.
When police first responded to Singler's home, they found her with minor injuries, the two children's bodies and Singler's 11-year-old daughter hurt. At first, Singler was treated as a burglary victim, said Cronin.
The injured girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released and is recovering in Colorado Springs, said Cronin.
The children's deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — With the calendar-page turn to 2024 on Monday comes 320 new state laws that Illinois residents will need to navigate.
Some will have a widespread effect, including a law banning semi-automatic rifles and another requiring paid time off. But others won’t have an immediate or noticeable impact, including a law that lets county governments consider a potential contractor’s participation in an approved apprenticeship program in determining the winning low bid for a project.
One law that took effect in 2019 but is still impacting tens of thousands of workers is an increase in the minimum wage. It increases to $14 an hour on Jan. 1 for non-tipped workers and will reach $15 in a year.
Here are some of the other major changes to Illinois state law as of New Year’s Day:
BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
The U.S. Supreme Court has failed to take up the case of Illinois’ ban on the sale, possession or manufacture of automatic weapons like the type used in a mass shooting at a 2023July Fourthparade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
The law bans dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, including .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices. No rifle will be allowed to accommodate more than 10 rounds, with a 15-round limit for handguns.
Those who previously purchased such guns must register them with the Illinois State Police by Jan. 1.
BOOK-BAN PROHIBITION
Libraries that indiscriminately ban books will not be eligible for state funds. They must adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights stating “materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.”
The library association reported that attempts to censor books reached a 20-year high in 2022, especially those with LGBTQ+ themes and those written by people of color.
PAID TIME OFF
Employers will be required to offer paid vacation for any reason. Workers will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked, up to 40 hours total. Employers may offer more than 40 hours and employees may take time off after working for 90 days.
AIR FRESHENERS ALLOWED
Police will no longer be able to pull over a motorist solely because there is an object hanging from their rearview mirror. The law was approved after Daunte Wright was pulled over in Minnesota in 2021 for having a dangling air freshener. He was shot when the officer, reaching for her stun gun, instead grabbed her sidearm.
NO VIDEOCONFERENCING ON THE ROAD
Video meetings, streaming or accessing a social media website while driving will be prohibited. There will be an exception for video on a hands-free or voice-activated device or an application requiring the push of no more than a single button to activate or terminate it.
NO INDOOR VAPING
Vaping or smoking an electronic cigarette or cigar in a public indoor space will be prohibited. The law adds electronic smoking devices to the list of items prohibited in indoor public places under the 2008 Smoke Free Illinois Act, which banned regular tobacco products’ indoor use.
LICENSE-PLATE READER RESTRICTIONS
Interstate agreements between law enforcement agencies must specify that license-plate reader technology not be used on cars driven by women coming into Illinois to have abortions.
SURVEILLANCE DRONES
Following the Highland Park parade shooting, lawmakers approved the use of drones by law enforcement to surveil “routed” or “special events.” The drones may not be equipped with weapons or facial-recognition technology.
DEEPFAKE PORN
Victims of digital forgeries known as deepfake pornography may file civil lawsuits against anyone who shares or threatens to share an image that falsely depicts a person exposing genitalia or other private parts or engaging in a sex act. Identifying the image as materially altered is not a defense to liability.
RESTROOMS MAY BE ALL-GENDER MULTIOCCUPANCY
Businesses have the option of installing restrooms that may be used by any gender simultaneously. Current restrooms may be renovated to accommodate all genders. Urinals may not be included and stalls must have floor-to-ceiling, locking dividers.
VOTER REGISTRATION FOR TEENS
Teenagers may pre-register to vote at age 16 or 17 while obtaining a driver’s license or state identification card at a drivers’ services office run by the secretary of state. When turning 18, the legal voting age, they will already be registered to vote. | https://www.ktalnews.com/news/u-s-world/ap-laws-banning-semi-automatic-weapons-and-library-censorship-to-take-effect-in-illinois/ | 2024-01-01T04:21:46Z |
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sportsbook director Jay Kornegay is anticipating massive crowds at Westgate’s Las Vegas location this weekend and Monday to bet on the two College Football Playoff semifinal games.
Part of it is timing. Last season’s games were on New Year’s Eve; this season’s are on New Year’s Day.
The other part is the field. Michigan, ranked first by the CFP committee, faces No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl and No. 2 Washington plays No. 3 Texas in the Sugar Bowl.
“We expect the handle to double, possibly triple, what we did last year mainly because the games are being played on New Year’s Day rather than New Year’s Eve,” said Kornegay, Westgate’s vice president of race and sports operations. “Certainly, the participants have huge fan bases.”
Kornegay said the betting increase not only will happen at the Las Vegas book, but at its locations throughout the country. Westgate has books in eight states besides Nevada.
“The volume level is going to be cranked up probably like we’ve never seen it before,” Kornegay said. “So we’re certainly looking for possible records during this year’s playoff games.”
TIDE ROLLS IN
Michigan opened as a 2 1/2-point favorite at Caesars Sportsbook, but the number was bet down to 1 1/2 as Alabama money rolled in. Caesars even moved the line to a pick ’em at one point with about 75% of the bets coming on the Tide.
But the book took a nearly $80,000 wager from a professional bettor on the Wolverines to push the line back to 1 1/2.
“So that tells me Michigan should be a slight favorite in this one,” said Joey Feazel, who heads college football betting for Caesars. “But the public is very heavy handed on the Crimson Tide.”
Westgate has had a similar experience. Michigan also opened as a 2 1/2-point favorite. It got bet down to a point after Tide action came in before the Wolverines moved to 2-point favorites.
“Just based off of history, we know that Alabama money is going to show up,” Kornegay said.
FanDuel Sportsbook, which lists Alabama as a 1 1/2-point underdog, has seen 81% of bets and the handle go on the Tide to win outright and 69% of bets and 75% of the money on them to cover the spread.
THE OTHER SEMI
The betting line for the Texas-Washington game hasn’t seen quite the swings. The Longhorns have typically been 4- or 4 1/2-point favorites.
But like the other semifinal, most of the action is on the underdog.
At FanDuel, 78% of bets and 64% of the handle are on Washington to win outright, and 69% of bets and 72% of money are on the Huskies — 4 1/2-point underdogs — to cover the spread.
GRADING THE FIELD
Feazel is grateful that undefeated Florida State didn’t make the playoff field. The Seminoles scraped by at the end of their season after quarterback Jordan Travis injured his leg Nov. 18.
“Without Jordan Travis, they were really a shell of what they once were,” Feazel said. “ I’d still say Georgia would be better than Texas or Washington if we were to put up a line in a hypothetical matchup. The same as Oregon would be favored over Texas and Washington as well, even though Washington beat them twice.”
That’s not to say he disagreed with how the playoff field was assembled.
“There are games you have to win in order to compete for championships,” Feazel said. “I wouldn’t fault the committee for making the decision in how they do the seeding.”
LOOKING AHEAD
Whichever team wins the Rose Bowl will be favored by FanDuel in the national championship Jan. 8 at Houston.
Michigan would be favored by seven points over Washington and by three over Texas. Alabama would be favored by 6 1/2 points over the Huskies and 2 1/2 over the Longhorns.

Sharm el-Sheikh locals lament ‘wall' going up around resort
Despite photographic evidence to the contrary, the governor of South Sinai denied a wall was being built.
"It's not a wall, who told you it's a wall. We don't have a wall," said General Khaled Fouda. The project, he said, consisted of a mix of high concrete barriers and at least 37km (23 miles) of razor-wire fence, with "four very beautiful doors" to access the town.
It was intended to "beautify and secure Sharm el-Sheikh", he said. "We are doing this for the future. The project will help Sharm el-Sheikh recoup lost tourism revenues."
Photos and video show the construction of a concrete barrier estimated to be up to six metres high, which residents fear will encircle the perimeter of the town.
Similar plans for a wall around the town were considered by the South Sinai authorities in 2005 but scrapped. Fouda declined to state why the project had been revived.
Kelly Walmsley, a manager at the Rixos resort in Sharm el-Sheikh, said she had not been informed about the work. "To be honest, nobody really understands what's going on," she said.
A resident, who asked not to be named, said checkpoints and cameras already surrounded the town to provide security. "For us residents, it's ridiculous. The beauty of the place is being covered up with a fence. Sharm el-Sheikh is well-known for its mountains and desert - this thing will destroy the view," the resident said. "This security barrier isn't going to make a difference, it will just annoy people more and it won't stop terrorism. It's a joke. Any tourist coming out of the city will be worried they're not safe - this will affect tourism."
The wall will also cut off Bedouin communities in the surrounding desert area, a likely point of contention especially after authorities enlisted the Bedouin to help combat jihadi elements elsewhere in Sinai. "This wall tells the Bedouin that they're not part of the community - it sends the message that they're not worth protecting from terrorism," said the resident.
A ban on direct flights from the UK to Sharm el-Sheikh is still in place after the jet attack. The Egyptian authorities have since enhanced security measures at Sharm el-Sheikh airport, hoping for the return of flights from Russia and the UK. | https://en.inform.kz/news/sharm-el-sheikh-locals-lament-wall-going-up-around-resort_a3500883/ | 2024-01-01T04:21:52Z |
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James thought he added to his legacy with another big shot on his 39th birthday.
The NBA’s replay center had a different view, causing James to call out the league’s replay process.
James made what he believed was a game-tying 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining as the Los Angeles Lakers were playing on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the top team in the Western Conference.
However, it was ruled a 2-pointer and upheld via replay from the league’s replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey, and the Lakers lost 108-106 on Saturday night.
“It’s obviously a 3,” James said. “My foot is behind the line. I mean, you can see the space between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. You can clearly see a white, the wood on the floor, there’s a space in between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. So, you know, Stevie Wonder can see that, champ.”
James, who spent the day in bed with a non-COVID-19 illness, scored 26 points, 10 in the fourth quarter. But it was his shot, and the subsequent replay, that caused his ire toward the league’s replay center.
“They said it was out of their hands,” James said of the explanation he got from officials. “The Secaucus, whatever, over there in the replay center or whatever, somebody over there eating a ham sandwich or somebody made the call.”
In a pool report after the game, official Tony Brothers said the review wasn’t conclusive enough to overturn the call on the floor.
“The play was ruled a 2-point field goal on the floor during live play,” Brothers said. “After video review, there wasn’t clear and conclusive evidence to overturn it from a 2 to a 3, and that’s why it stood as a 2-point field goal.”
James felt the video evidence was clear enough. As soon as Brothers announced the ruling to the in-arena crowd, James immediately went to the scorer’s table and pointed to the replay monitor.
“It’s super frustrating in the sense of what the hell we got a replay for?” James said. “What do we have replay for if even the replay gets it wrong? It’s like, who’s the part of the replay center? Like, do we got robots in there that’s making the Teslas? What’s going on? If you don’t see that, that is clear, that is clear.”
The frustration came after James said he woke up with an illness and stayed in bed until 4:30 p.m. when he got ready to head to the arena.
“I took a few more naps and then I finally just got out of bed at like 4:30, got a shower,” James said. “It helped me a little bit. Caught the 5 o’clock bus and, I guess, felt OK to play. I felt I could make some plays to help us win the ballgame.”
The Lakers play Sunday afternoon for the second of a back-to-back in New Orleans. James said he was unsure if he’d be play to play Sunday and would wait to see how he feels a day later. | https://www.ktalnews.com/sports/ap-lebron-james-questions-nbas-replay-center-after-late-game-shot-ruled-a-2-pointer/ | 2024-01-01T04:21:53Z |

Conor McGregor announced Sunday he’s returning to the octagon for a fight against Michael Chandler on June 29 in Las Vegas.
McGregor made the announcement in a video posted to one of his social media accounts.
A UFC spokesperson did not confirm or deny the fight. The 35-year-old McGregor, who hasn’t fought in the octagon since 2021, appeared to be at a restaurant drinking a glass of wine in the video. He said the bout would be in the middleweight (185-pound) class.
“Ladies and gentlemen, happy new year to you all,” McGregor says in the video. “I’d like to announce the return date for myself, the notorious Conor McGregor, the greatest comeback of all time, will take place in Las Vegas for International Fight Week.”
McGregor previously held UFC titles in the 145-pound and 155-pound classes. His last UFC match on July 10, 2021, was a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier after McGregor broke his leg.
McGregor and the 37-year-old Chandler have coached against each other on “The Ultimate Fighter” television series.
Chandler posted Sunday on social media in response to McGregor’s announcement.
“I always said I wanted you at your biggest, your baddest and your best,” Chandler wrote. “185 would look good on me.”

#million #Years #Eve #revelers #expected #York #thousands #engaged #couples #Las #Vegas
They are preparing for the celebration under increased security measures.
One million people are expected in New York for New Year’s Eve, and hundreds of thousands of people can gather in the central location, Times Square, on Sunday night amid heightened security measures.
Due to the pro-Palestinian demonstrations that have become regular in recent weeks, the city’s police have widened the security zone in the city center in order to ensure a smooth New Year’s Eve celebration. The authorities created a wider permeable area to prevent troublemakers from entering.
Mayor Eric Adams stated at his press conference on Friday that there is no information about a special threat on New Year’s Eve. At the same time, he announced that the authorities will use all their tools, including drones and helicopters, as well as mounted patrols on the streets.
James Smith, the deputy director of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), reported on Sunday that due to the increased risk of international and domestic terrorism, they see a threat to the holiday events, at the same time, the authorities are present in large numbers on the streets, in uniform and both in civil.
One of New York’s most visited New Year’s Eve attractions is a giant ball lowered in Times Square at midnight, which is lowered in 60 seconds to usher in the New Year. This year’s illuminated ball bust is decorated with thousands of glittering crystal triangles, and hundreds of kilograms of confetti are sprinkled on the celebrating audience as it is lowered. The tradition began in New York in 1907 and has been held in the iconic Time Square since 1913.
In Las Vegas, on the last day of the year, thousands of people get married because of the special date. In the entertainment city of Nevada, it is possible to get married instantly, which, in addition to the casinos, also attracts many people.
According to the American way of writing, the date December 31, 2023 is 12.31.23, i.e. the number sequence 123-123. The last such “magic number” was February 22, 2022, which produced the number 2 22 22. At that time, more than 2,300 couples were married in Las Vegas. | https://www.world-today-journal.com/one-million-new-years-eve-revelers-are-expected-in-new-york-and-thousands-of-engaged-couples-in-las-vegas/ | 2024-01-01T04:21:58Z |

Roberts warns of AI ‘dehumanizing the law’ in year-end report but avoids Trump legal disputes, Supreme Court ethics reform
By Devan Cole, CNN
(CNN) — Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts raised concerns about the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in the US judicial system in an annual report released Sunday, warning that the emerging technology could risk “dehumanizing the law” and imperiling fair treatment in the justice system.
“AI obviously has great potential to dramatically increase access to key information for lawyers and non-lawyers alike. But just as obviously it risks invading privacy interests and dehumanizing the law,” Roberts wrote.
The chief justice spent much of his 13-page year-end report laying out how new technology has brought about positive change to the federal court system over the years. But he avoided addressing how the court has recently been pushed into two major disputes involving former President Donald Trump, as well as issues involving ethics and transparency that plagued the court for much of the year, leading the nine justices to announce a new code of conduct last month.
Instead, he presented AI as the “major issue relevant to the whole federal court system.” The technology, Roberts wrote, “requires caution and humility.”
Roberts acknowledged that AI could assist with making courts more accessible, especially for people who may not have the resources to hire an attorney. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” he wrote.
But he appeared wary toward a wholesale adoption of the technology in courts, noting that “studies show a persistent public perception of a ‘human-AI fairness gap,’ reflecting the view that human adjudications, for all of their flaws, are fairer than whatever the machine spits out.”
Roberts also pointed to a flaw in one prominent AI tool that he said caused “lawyers using the application to submit briefs with citations to non-existent cases. (Always a bad idea.).”
The chief justice said he welcomed coming efforts by the Judicial Conference – the policy-making body for the federal courts – to examine AI’s “proper uses in litigation.”
“I predict that human judges will be around for a while,” Roberts wrote. “But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work – particularly at the trial level – will be significantly affected by AI.”
The year-end report also highlighted key statistics on the caseload handled by the Supreme Court during its previous term. The number of cases filed to the high court fell by 15% compared with its 2021 term, while 68 cases were argued before the justices last term – two fewer than the 2021 term.

PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on pittsburghhockeynow.com.
The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders met just four days ago, though the game left a sour taste with New York as the Penguins decimated the Islanders 7-0 at UBS Arena. With an immediate rematch, New York attempted to send a message from the opening puck drop when heavyweight Matt Martin dropped the gloves with Penguins defenseman John Ludvig.
The Penguins submitted another gritty effort, not always pretty and not always perfect, but effective enough for a 3-1 win at PPG Paints Arena.
Ludvig admitted after the game that the fight was his idea.

Happy New Year: The top Austin news stories of 2023
AUSTIN, Texas - On this last weekend of 2023, FOX 7 Austin is taking a look back at some of the biggest local stories of the year based on what you clicked on FOX7Austin.com.
Kaitlin Armstrong murder trial
In November, all eyes were on Austin for Kaitlin Armstrong’s murder trial.
A jury found Armstrong guilty of shooting pro cyclist Moriah Wilson at an East Austin home in May of 2022.
The day after the verdict was handed down, Armstrong was sentenced to 90 years in prison.
The trial came after Armstrong fled to Costa Rica last year and changed her appearance in the wake of the murder, a crime which prosecutors say was fueled by jealousy over Armstrong’s boyfriend’s contact with Wilson.
Young woman’s body found in Bell County
In April, we met the family of Tiera Strand, a missing 25-year-old woman who was later found dead on the side of a Bell County road. The family described days of worrying, turning into anger.
Strand had been last seen on Sixth Street in Austin, and five days later was found in a ditch just north of Temple.
Strand was a mother to a 6-year-old and had dreams to join the Navy. The cause of Strand’s death was ruled undetermined.
Homeless man wreaks havoc in South Austin neighborhood
In January, FOX 7 told you about a man causing trouble and frightening residents in South Austin.
Neighbors say it started out with Rami Zawaideh using a chainsaw and a machete to cut down trees in the middle of the night and create structures. But residents in the Westgate neighborhood say Zawaideh then found a new weapon of choice: a sledgehammer.
Zawaideh admitted to FOX 7’s Meredith Aldis that he destroyed boulders with a sledgehammer to "take out Satanism."
Because the boulders are city property, Zawaideh could have faced a third-degree felony, but the district attorney declined to pursue those charges.
Austin ISD teacher fired over TikTok video
In June, we met an Austin ISD elementary teacher who says she was terminated because of a TikTok video she posted that went viral.
Sophia DeLoretto-Chudy, who taught third grade at Becker Elementary, posted a video discussing a meeting with her administrator. The district says that violated its social media policy.
DeLoretto Chudy spoke to FOX 7 after getting fired, saying, "They made it clear that it wasn't it didn't have anything to do with my instructional practices or what I was teaching or how I was teaching, and everything to do with the fact that I had embarrassed one of my administrators on TikTok."
Burglars throw rager inside northwest Austin home
In February, FOX 7 took you to northwest Austin, where a man was shocked to find a huge party happening at his house. The man said no one was invited to his home, but hundreds of kids showed up and made it their own for the night.
While away at a friend’s house, the homeowner started getting messages from his neighbors that people were all over his property, and as he rushed home he saw people trying to flee the scene. He returned to find his front gate broken, the front door wide open, walls busted, TVs smashed, beer cans and trash everywhere, and his bedroom had been egged.
He says it was a blatant break-in, calling it "horrifying" and a "total violation of one’s privacy".
Woman attacked on Barton Creek Greenbelt
In April, we met Isabella Ricks, whose sense of safety was shattered after being attacked on the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
Ricks says she was hiking on the Violet Crown trail, when the man came up behind her and grabbed her. She pushed him off and was eventually able to escape, but he followed her before finally running off after she threatened to call the cops.
Ricks credits her instincts and adrenaline for helping her get away, saying, "I reacted in a way that I never thought I would react, which is to immediately be defiant. And I think that really throws predators off."
Kingsland family attacked by pig
In September, a Kingsland woman and her family found themselves banged up and bruised, after a very large pig attacked them.
Wendy Goldstein says the pig tackled her daughter and then went into the house and attacked her disabled parents. Later on, she says the owner came by to try to find his pig, and threatened to shoot Goldstein’s parents if they shot the pig.
The family says the pig returned twice in the following days, going after the woman’s boyfriend. That led sheriff’s deputies to step in.
Georgetown teen earns perfect SAT score
In September, we introduced you to Nathan Aaker of Georgetown, who earned a perfect score on his SAT. He spent the summer doing SAT prep, taking about 10 practice tests to prepare.
He scored a 1600 on his first try. Aaker says practice was the key: "Doing it over and over again, you’re more prepared for when you get to the actual event." | https://www.fox7austin.com/news/happy-new-year-the-top-austin-news-stories-of-2023 | 2024-01-01T04:22:04Z |
The same-sex marriage verdict is the “most shameful” judgement by the Supreme Court in many years, said Colin Gonsalves, Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of India and founder of Human Rights Law Network.
Mr. Gonsalves was in Bengaluru recently to speak on “Supreme Court, a guardian of constitutional rights: A critical assessment” at the Alternative Law Forum. Expressing strong views on the stance taken by the Supreme Court on several issues recently, Mr. Gonsalves did not mince words.
“If a dominant group of society attacks the minority group, often you find that the government is on the side of the majority group. But the Supreme Court has to protect the minority point of view,” he said, adding that the judgement of the Supreme Court has caused much anguish to the people.
In October, the Supreme Court declined to legalise same-sex marriage leaving it to the Parliament to legislate on it. A five-judge constitution bench ruled that the right to marry was not fundamental and hence the court could not intervene. Pointing out the verdicts of Apex Courts in South Africa, the UK and Canada which ruled in favour of same-sex marriage, he said the SC should have followed suit.
Mr. Gonsalves also lashed out against the recent verdict by the Supreme Court which upheld the abrogation of Article 370 that earlier gave Jammu and Kashmir a special status.
“The Article 370 judgment is deplorable. To say that when under presidential rule, parliament can act without taking the views of the assembly of the state, change a state into a union territory, and change the character of the state is a deplorable judgement,“ said Mr Gonsalves.
“We cannot confidently say that the Supreme Court is an independent institution, which is what it prides itself on... The Supreme Court should speak for the majority and the minority,” he said. He added that if the situation continues, people will lose faith in the institution.
On violence in Manipur
He also came down heavily on the state on the issue of riots in Manipur.
“The Manipur violence is state-sponsored. Nationwide riots, including the 2002 Gujarat riots, the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the 1992-93 Bombay riots, were all state-sponsored. You won’t have a riot if the state’s chief minister and home minister don’t want it,“ he said. Slamming the Manipur government for the riots in the state he accused the Chief Minister of being responsible for the it and the home minister of supporting it.
“If the Chief Minister gives an order to the DGP, these riots will stop in 48 hours. But here, the police in Manipur are the people who are helping the rioters. The saddest thing is that the judiciary has not been effective in stopping the killings and rehabilitating the victims,“ he said.
“It affects tribal women, children, and men. Women get raped, around 175 tribals were killed, and nobody cared. After eight months, we still don’t know if an FIR has been filed or if anybody has been arrested or charge-sheeted,“ he added.
SC can do magic
Reiterating that the SC can do magic if it wants to, he said the question is whether the judiciary wants to help. He expressed his shock at the inaction from the Supreme Court despite the issue coming before it several times in the last 10 months ever since the riots started.
“The judiciary should have the courage to act against the state and the central government. They should dare to take the state and central government to task. But we are not seeing that courage. Maybe they will act in the future. But when?” he asked. | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/same-sex-marriage-verdict-by-sc-shameful/article67676128.ece | 2024-01-01T04:22:04Z |
PERTH, Australia (AP) — Making a triumphant return to Perth after a decade, Novak Djokovic led Serbia to a 2-1 win over China at the United Cup on Sunday.
Djokovic, playing in the western Australia city for the first time since the 2013 Hopman Cup, beat Zhang Zhizhen 6-3, 6-2 and then teamed up with Olga Danilovic to clinch the decisive mixed doubles 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 against Zheng Quinwen and Zhang in the Group E match.
Zheng, who beat reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in her opening United Cup match, had leveled the match 1-1 when she outplayed Danilovic 6-4, 6-2.
Djokovic needed just 74 minutes to beat Zhang as he converted three of the seven break points.
“It’s great to be back in Perth,” Djokovic said afterward. “New Year’s in a few hours so I really appreciate you coming to hopefully celebrate New Year’s Eve with us here on the court. It’s been 10 years since I’ve been in Perth, and this arena is definitely one of the nicest, from inside and outside, that I’ve played in.”
Djokovic said he felt a bit rusty early against Zhang and a “little bit out of rhythm” because of not playing a match for over a month.
“It obviously takes a little bit of time to get the engines going and he was serving well,” he said. “I think the serve was great on my part, whenever I needed to get myself out of trouble, at 15-15 or 30-30 in my service games, I found a good serve.”
China routed Czech Republic in its first match 3-0, but after Sunday’s win Serbia is also in with a chance to advance.
Earlier, former U.S. Open finalist Leylah Fernandez led Canada to a 2-1 victory over Chile in Sydney in its tournament’s opening match.
Fernandez defeated Daniela Seguel 6-3, 6-2 before Nicolas Jarry leveled the Group B tie for Chile by beating Steven Diez in straight sets in Sydney.
Diez had replaced Felix Auger-Aliassime who was rested with a minor knee issue.
Fernandez and Diez then clinched the deciding mixed doubles against Seguel and Tomás Barrios Vera 7-5, 4-6, 10-8 to seal the tie for the Canadians.
“I’m extremely happy with the way I played,” Fernandez said after her win over Seguel. “It wasn’t the greatest match because it is my first match of the season, the nerves, but I’m extremely happy with the way that I was able to manage it.”
In Perth, Great Britain’s Katie Boulter stunned fifth-ranked Jessica Pegula of the United States in Group C, rallying from a set down to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The Americans drew level when Taylor Fritz defeated Cameron Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4 to force a deciding mixed doubles match.
Pegula and Fritz then combined for victory over Boulter and Neal Skupski 1-6, 7-6 (4), 10-7 that sealed the tie, 2-1, for the defending champions.
The Americans will qualify for the quarterfinals if they win their final match against Australia. All three teams still have a chance of qualifying if Australia beats the U.S. in the last group match.
Mixed teams from 18 countries are playing in Perth and Sydney in what doubles as a warmup for the Australian Open. The format is a men’s and women’s singles and a mixed doubles.

Short bursts of everyday physical activity can help people stay healthy: study
What the study refers to as High Intensity Incidental Physical Activity (HIIPA), mimics the scientifically proven benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), by incorporating everyday life and tasks.
"There is a lot of research telling us that any type of HIIT, irrespective of the duration and number of repetitions is one of the most effective ways to rapidly improve fitness and cardiovascular health and HIIPA works on the same idea," one of the study's collaborators, Emmanuel Stamatakis, from Sydney University said.
Along with his colleagues, Stamatakis argues that when taking into account different physical characteristics, such as age, sex and weight, many of the daily tasks we perform can be classed as "high intensity."
For the typical middle-aged Australian woman, 60 percent of whom are overweight, activities like running and playing with children or walking uphill, all expend more than six times as much energy per minute than when at rest -- the standard measure for high intensity activity.
Over the course of the day, doing three to five brief HIIPA sessions totalling five to 10 minutes could have significant health benefits and could present a more realistic health regime for people to stick to, the authors said.
"The beauty of HIIPA and the idea of using activities we are already doing as part of everyday life is that it is much more realistic and achievable for most people," Stamatakis said.
"The time commitment for HIIPA is close to zero minutes per day, and people could save even more time if their HIIPA involves brief walking sprints, or taking the stairs instead of waiting for the lift.
"Other practical advantages are nil costs, no need for equipment and no concerns about a lack of skill or fitness," he said. | https://en.inform.kz/news/short-bursts-of-everyday-physical-activity-can-help-people-stay-healthy-study_a3500712/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:06Z |

Fuel Struggle in Final Game of 2023
December 31, 2023 - ECHL (ECHL) - Indy Fuel News Release
KALAMAZOO - The Fuel ended the year 2023 with a tough loss on the road against the Kalamazoo Wings. The momentum was all Kalamazoo all night as they came out on top 7-0 in a blowout.
1ST PERIOD
A tough bounce of the puck gave Kalamazoo an early 1-0 lead just 1:17 into the game. The puck took an errant bounce and popped off the skate of Defenseman Trevor Zins and made its way past an unsuspecting Cam Gray. The goal was awarded to Brad Morrison.
Outside of a crazy bounce of the puck, there was one holding penalty on Collin Saccoman of Kalamazoo at 17:26. The Fuel could not capitalize on the power play and the period ended 1-0 with the shot totals piling up 12-9 in favor of Kalamazoo.
2ND PERIOD
The action started picking up in the second period as the Wings extended their lead by two goals. It took almost 18 minutes but Erik Bradford found the back of the net at 17:57 then Michael Joyaux followed it up 50 seconds later in a 5 on 3 situation. This put the Wings up 3-0 at the end of the period.
The usual Kalamazoo vs. Indy chippiness picked up in the second period with six total penalties, four by the Fuel, and two costly ones coming 36 seconds apart to set up Kalamazoo's third goal opportunity.
The Wings once again outshot the Fuel 15-10 in the second period.
3RD PERIOD
Kalamazoo kept their momentum from the second period rolling right into the third. Brad Morrison finds his second goal of the game just 36 seconds into the period followed right up by David Keefer scoring less than a minute later.
Keefer stayed hot because exactly six minutes later on the power play at 7:34, he scored his second of the night to give Kalamazoo a 6-0 lead. But the Wings weren't done just yet.
Erik Bradford became the third Wings player to score two goals in this game as he found himself on a short-handed breakaway, beating Cam Gray between the legs to give Kalamazoo a 7-0 lead.
At 12:42 in the third period, Zach Driscoll came in relief of Cam Gray.
A couple of late penalties came in at 14:06, one for each team. Cam Hillis and Tanner Sorenson received game misconducts for an altercation, along with Ross MacDougall being called for a roughing minor.
Frustrations fully boiled over when Andrew Bellant and Brad Morrison started throwing fists with just 15 seconds left in the game.
When the tempers died down, the Wings ended the game with a 7-0 rout of the Fuel, outshooting Indy 36-31.
The Indy Fuel are back in action at Indiana Farmers Coliseum on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 for Wednesday Night Hockey.

White House says it is not seeking wider conflict after US helicopters sink Houthi boats in Red Sea, killing crews
By Kevin Liptak and Nikki Carvajal, CNN
(CNN) — The White House said Sunday it is not seeking a wider conflict in the Middle East after US helicopters sank three Houthi boats in the Red Sea after coming under fire.
The helicopters sank the boats and killed those aboard, marking the first time since tensions broke out earlier this year that the US has killed members of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group, which has been targeting commercial and merchant vessels in the Red Sea.
The US has avoided directly striking the group inside Yemen as it seeks to avoid escalating the crisis further. But a National Security Council spokesman said Sunday that the US would continue acting in self-defense.
“We don’t seek a conflict wider in the region and we’re not looking for a conflict with the Houthis. The best outcome here would be for the Houthis to stop these attacks, as we have made clear over and over again,” John Kirby said on ABC News.
Four small boats originating from “Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen” attacked the Maersk Hangzhou on Saturday with small arms and attempted to board the merchant vessel, according to a statement from US Central Command, which added that a security team on board had returned fire.
CENTCOM said helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and Gravely responded to the Maersk Hangzhou’s distress call, the second in less than 24 hours, and were fired on by the Houthi boats.
“The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense, sinking three of the four small boats, and killing the crews. The fourth boat fled the area,” the statement said, adding that there was “no damage to U.S. personnel or equipment.”
CNN has reached out to Maersk for comment on the incident.
The Houthis have launched dozens of attacks on commercial vessels since October 7, saying they are acting in solidarity with Hamas amid the group’s war with Israel.
The US has deployed warships to the Red Sea and last month launched Operation Prosperity Guardian, a multinational maritime coalition, to beef up security in the critical global shipping lane.
While President Joe Biden has authorized strikes on other Iranian proxy groups that have attacked American troops in Iraq and Syria, he has stopped short of striking the Houthis in Yemen.
“We’ve got significant national security interests in the region just on our own … and we’re going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests and we’re going to act in self-defense going forward,” Kirby said.
Asked about the prospect of a preemptive strike in the region, Kirby reiterated the White House stance.
“We’re not ruling anything in or out, but we have made it clear publicly to the Houthis and privately to our allies and partners in the region we take these threats seriously, and we’re going to make the right decisions going forward,” he said.

PITTSBURGH — The Roberto Clemente Bridge officially reopened on New Year’s Eve.
The bridge first closed in February 2022.
It has been two baseball and football seasons since fans were able to use it to cross the Allegheny River.
Repairs included a new concrete deck, and a ribbon cutting was held on New Year’s Eve night, which is the anniversary of Clemente’s death.
Clemente’s son and grandson were in attendance at the ribbon cutting.
“The re-opening of the bridge signifies renewed commitment to honor the legacy of a man who inspired millions and is a testament to the enduring impact of dad’s life and the values he stood for,” Roberto Clemente Jr. said.
The bridge’s reopening also marked the last event in office for Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald.

#Sam #chose #volleyball #reached #world #hes #years
You were born on May 12, 2004. Unlike most other future athletes, there is no one in our family who was involved in any competitive activity.
As a boy, naturally, you get carried away by football. However, a friend takes you with him to the volleyball hall. In mid-2023, he was selected as one of the two best central blockers at the U-21 World Cup, which took place in Bahrain.
And then you leave the club that built you as a volleyball player and a person to take the next step – continuing your education and sports development at the American University “Long Beach”.
In short, this is the story of Lazar Buchkov. The past year has been eventful for the lovable, bright-eyed lad, but his inclusion in the ideal squad for the World Youth Championship really deserves credit. However, it is not often that a Bulgarian is named individually as the best in a team sport.
In December, Buchkov briefly returned to Bulgaria. Although he is on vacation, the nearly two-meter-tall Lazar found time to train with one of the “blue” teams in the “Levski Sofia” hall and to spend time talking with “24 Chasa”.
“I really got into volleyball by accident. There are no athletes in my family. Like any little boy
I also first dreamed of becoming a football player
From an early age, however, I was taller than my peers.
A classmate of mine started practicing volleyball. Along with him, I also decided to enroll, but I didn’t think anything serious at the time. I just wanted to move. That’s how I started in volleyball. No one forced me”, says Lazar.
The center scores through Nikolay Nikolov.
Typical of most teenagers in volleyball, the boy expresses himself as quite mature for his age and composed. “Over time, it has become a cliché that volleyball is an intelligent sport. This is one of the reasons why volleyball grabbed me. Over time, it became difficult for me to imagine life without volleyball”, says the center.
Buchkov began training at the “Stoychev-Kaziyski” BA and from there he moved to “Levski” to go through all age groups and establish himself as a starter in the men’s team only at the age of 18. It was in the “blue” club that Lazar became clearly volleyball is his thing and he will dedicate himself to it.
“After moving to Levski, we became very close with Alex Nikolov. We pushed each other, figuratively speaking, to go up. And my other peers and I are good friends and we get along great.
Thanks to the coaches, teammates and Levski as a club in general, I am what I am today. I have, of course, also had very difficult moments. However, I later realized that it was they who developed me and made me better. Stress makes you grow, and it made me fight. That is why I am very grateful to “Levski”, says Buchkov.
The thing that he felt in the “blue” club and that made a strong impression on him is that the coaches really invest in you with their work and
they really care what comes out of you
Even if you don’t become a very good volleyball player, the idea is to shape you into a better person as possible.
With the best in position award in the junior finals last season.
In the 2022/2023 season, Buchkov fully entered men’s volleyball. He was one of the starting centers of “Levski”, which reached the bronze medals, at the same time, Lazar and his peers won the state championship for athletes under 20 years old.
“The transition to men’s volleyball was not easy at all. It really started from last season, when I was not a starter, but I played relatively often. Well, at the beginning it was quite difficult, but with most of the minutes I started to play around and get used to participating in matches in which tension prevails.
The bronze medal is my first in men’s volleyball. It’s always nice to receive some kind of reward for the work you’ve put in,” admits Buchkov.
After the end of last season, it became clear that he was following the path of his friend Alex Nikolov. He also moved from his native “Levski” to “Long Beach” at the age of 18. The eldest son of the legend, Vladimir Nikolov, stayed only one campaign in the USA.
Alex played very strong games overseas, became the #1 player of the year in the college championship, and thus the award was won for the first time in history by a rookie. Nikolov and “Long Beach” reached the silver medals, and then he was attracted by the Italian giant “Cucine Lube” (Civitanova).
“Even when Alex left, it was understood that I could follow him. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at the time. At a later stage, the university itself contacted me. Alex had only told me good things about Long Beach and that tipped the scales in favor of the States. I decided to go and try something new”, reveals the center.
Lazarus on the attack
Before heading to Long Beach, however, he and the U21 nationals had the aforementioned Bahrain World Cup ahead of them. In the previous years, this formation under the leadership of Martin Stoev won a number of honors at a high level, with the silver medals from the World U-19 and the bronze medals from the European U-20 to be noted.
Already at the head of the Italian specialist Andrea Buratini, the youth of Bulgaria performed strongly again
and showed off the bronze medals
in Bahrain.
“Third in the world is no small success. Before the World Cup, we talked to each other that we could become the first, to play in the final. However, bronze also means a decent performance for our team. And we followed the tradition of taking medals.
Being in the ideal team at the World Cup motivated me even more to work, because my hard work was rewarded”, commented Buchkov.
Lazar and the other boys from the formation in question have been together every summer for 5 years now. He is adamant that in that time they have become more than a team. Everyone is friends outside the gym. According to Buchkov, it is the creation of this cohesive team that is to blame for the team’s success.
Training in Long Beach
“Not only are we friends, but our girlfriends are also friends”, gives another example of the closeness in the Lazar team. Now that he is in the US, he will be separated from his girlfriend, but he knows that everything requires sacrifices.
Buchkov has been able to acclimatize to the new environment on American soil much faster than he expected. The reason for this is that his new teammates and fellow students very quickly accepted him and made him feel like one of them.
“It was easier to get into their regime than I thought, which worked out well. If I have to be honest, maybe one idea I had underestimated volleyball in America because it is collegiate and not professional. However, the level turned out to be high.
We put a lot of emphasis on volleyball, but at the same time, learning must go on. As they say there – first you are a student, then an athlete. To play we need to have good grades. That’s politics. Every day we train at once for 3 hours, and then we also do fitness,
to be able to combine things with learning
That’s what’s different.
My daily life is generally filled from – to. I have free time at the weekend. I try to tour as much as I can. It’s a totally different world there, and that’s why I’m curious to see as many places as possible”, says Lazar.
After the first year at the university, which is general education, he has to profile himself and is aware of what he will focus on – information systems.
It is difficult for Buchkov to predict whether he will stay 4 years in “Long Beach” or, like Alex, he will return to Europe to play volleyball at an even higher level. As in most sports, a situation may arise that requires reflection.
After his first year in America, Lazar will gather with friends and teammates from the “blue” school. In 2024, the distributor Simeon Nikolov and the greeter Alexander Kandev will follow him to “Long Beach”. He now looks forward to them. He and Moni have been teammates for almost the entire time they have been practicing volleyball.
“I am waiting for them to form a Bulgarian brigade. Otherwise, I really feel very welcome in the team. Everyone is friendly. There are other foreigners. My roommate is from Belarus”, says Buchkov.
Because of his departure to the USA, he missed the greatest success of “Levski” in the last 10 years. The “Blues” won the Super Cup of Bulgaria after a dramatic 3:2 over “Heber”.
“I was very happy. I grew up with this team. I was part of it in winning the bronze medals in the championship. I didn’t have any thoughts of leaving and not being a part of this triumph. I was really happy for the boys”, admits Lazar.
After Christmas he returned to the US. On Dec. 31, he has a stint with Long Beach, and then the college season begins in January.
After the dynamic 2023, the new year 2024 will start for Lazar Buchkov. Through it, the center from the “blue” school will continue to pursue his goals in volleyball, which became an invariable part of his life precisely thanks to “Levski”. One of them is
to be called up to the men’s national team
It seems a logical next step in the career of the boy who started playing volleyball without being guided by anyone. | https://www.world-today-journal.com/sam-chose-volleyball-and-reached-1-in-the-world-and-hes-only-19-years-old/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:11Z |

Sydney [Australia], January 1 : Australian opener David Warner called time on a legendary ODI career on Monday, just a couple of days ahead of his farewell Test match against Pakistan in his home arena at Sydney Cricket Ground, marking an end of one of the most entertaining chapters of Australian white-ball cricket.
Since his ODI debut in 2009, the left-handed has been an entertainer to the core. Be it his massive sixes, his aggression, his big centuries during the Cricket World Cup, breaking records or dancing to the tunes of Indian film music or the love he has for his fans, there are a lot of reasons to put Warner in the list of one of the all-time greats.
Here is Warner's ODI career in numbers:
161- ODIs played by Warner, the 18th-highest by any Australian. The legendary Ricky Ponting (374 matches) is at the top.
6,932- Runs scored by Warner in the 50-over format. He is the sixth-highest run-scorer in ODIs for Australia, with Ponting (13,589 runs) at the top.
22- Centuries by Warner in his ODI career, the second-highest by any Australian. Ponting once again takes the top spot with 29 centuries. Warner also has joint eighth-highest ODI centuries of all time, with India's Virat Kohli (50 centuries) at the top. The left-hander also has 33 fifties to go with his centuries.
179- Warner's best ODI score, made against Pakistan in 2017 in 128 balls with 19 centuries and five fifties. It is the fourth-highest score in ODIs by an Aussie, with Glenn Maxwell's 201* against Afghanistan at the top.
97.26- Warner's ODI strike rate is fifth-highest among Australian batters, with Maxwell taking the top spot with a strike rate of 126.91.
1,527- Runs made by Warner in his ICC Cricket World Cup career in 29 matches, the sixth-highest by any batter, with Sachin Tendulkar (2,278 runs) at the top. Also, the second-highest Australian run-getter in WC history, with Ponting (1,743 runs) occupying the top spot.
6- Centuries scored by Warner in his ICC Cricket World Cup career, which is the most by an Australian batter and joint second-highest (with Sachin) behind Indian skipper Rohit Sharma.
2- Number of Cricket World Cups won by Warner in 2015 and 2023. Warner was a star in both tournaments, scoring 345 runs in eight matches and 535 runs in 11 matches respectively.
7- Number of centuries by Warner in 2016, the second-most in a calendar year behind Sachin's nine centuries in 1998 and most by an Aussie batter in a calendar year.
24- Number of fours by Warner during his knock of 173 against South Africa back in October 2016, the most by an Australian batter in an innings.
93- Number of innings taken by Warner to reach 4,000 ODI runs, the fastest Australian to do so and overall sixth-fastest to the milestone with Hashim Amla of South Africa at the top with 81 innings.
115- Number of innings taken by Warner to cross 5,000 ODI runs, becoming the fastest Aussie batter to do so. Overall, he is the sixth-fastest, with Babar Azam of Pakistan (97 innings) at the top.
139- Number of innings taken by Warner to reach 6,000 ODI runs, the fastest by an Australian batter and third-fastest overall with Amla (123 innings) at the top.
18- The number of Man of the Match awards won by Warner in his ODI career.
7- The number of runs scored by Warner in his final ODI inning, during the World Cup final against India in November.

ELDORET, Kenya (AP) — Police in Kenya are investigating the slaying of three-time Ugandan Olympian Benjamin Kiplagat, whose body was found with stab wounds inside his brother’s car on Sunday morning, a local official said.
Kiplagat had been driving the car before his body was discovered in the vehicle on the outskirts of Eldoret, a town located 312 kilometers (163 miles) west of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, according to Stephen Okal, police commander from the nearby Moiben area.
“This was murder, but we do not know the motive for now,” Okal said.
As a long-distance runner, Kiplagat specialized in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. He represented Uganda in six World Athletics Championships and at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics.
He reached the semi-finals of the 2012 London Olympics.
Athletics Kenya official Barnabas Korir mourned the athlete’s death.
“We urge the police to speed up investigations and … book his killers,” Korir said. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/sports/ap-former-ugandan-steeplechase-olympian-benjamin-kiplagat-found-fatally-stabbed-in-kenya/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:11Z |
Fir Park is the venue for a true relegation six-pointer on Saturday when second-bottom Motherwell host bottom club Livingston.
Without a win 15 matches, manager Stuart Kettlewell will be urging his charges to stiffen the sinews and summon the blood for a 90 minutes which will not be the faint of heart.
A mid-week storm meant our Wednesday trip to Pittodrie was postponed while Livingston drew 0-0 at home to our mutual relegation rival St Johnstone. They could have won, having missed an open goal with the last kick, but looked very much like a side who have scored twice and taken just two points in their last 11 games. That record – since they beat you know who in September – means they have even poorer recent form than us.
From a Motherwell point of view, the extra rest may help Paul McGinn ease back into the starting eleven while Calum Butcher, who was labeled doubtful for Aberdeen, could also come back into contention. The remainder of our long-term absentees remain unavailable.
This fixture has long been circled as a must-win in the battle for survival and most would think Kettlewell’s future hinges upon the result. It might be unlikely we will sack him on before the January 2 trip to Easter Road, but anything less than a win will surely make see us looking for a new manager in the winter break.
That begs the question of what our boss will do with his future on the line. Mika Biereth will certainly start up top but struggles without a partner. However, Oli Shaw, Connor Wilkinson, Theo Bair and Jon Obika have not exactly been making a case for inclusion.
Should one be picked, they would surely replace Callum Slattery or Harry Paton. Blair Spittal, though perhaps not on top form, will retain his place while Davor Zdravkovski is beginning to look tidy in front of the defence. That defence will be missing the injured Dan Casey for sure but even if fit, few would say Butcher is a big plus after recent appearances. But the efforts of Bevis Mugabi et al do not instill confidence either.
Throughout our poor run, Kettlewell and the squad have insisted the spirit remains in our group. This is the last chance to prove it and, though it might not be pretty, a 2-0 win will lift the mood. What comes next, however, remains to be seen. | http://www.motherwell-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/motherwell_host_livingston_in_relegation_sixpointer_976828/index.shtml | 2024-01-01T04:22:13Z |

K-Wings Throtle Fuel 7-0 in Front of 4,800 on New Year's Eve
December 31, 2023 - ECHL (ECHL) - Kalamazoo Wings News Release
KALAMAZOO, MI - The Kalamazoo Wings (14-14-1-0), proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks, dominated in every phase behind five multipoint performances and a Hunter Vorva shutout to defeat the Indy Fuel (12-12-4-0) at Wings Event Center 7-0 on Sunday.
Erik Bradford recorded a career-high five points (2g-3a), scored his first short-handed goal of the season and notched his 250th professional assist in the victory.
Goaltender Hunter Vorva (4-4-0-0) recorded his second shutout of the season with 30 saves on 30 shots faced.
The K-Wings ripped the game wide open with a four-goal output in 3:37 between the end of the second and start of the third period.
Brad Morrison (5) opened the scoring at the 1:17 mark of the first by throwing a puck out front from the left-wing corner. The puck deflected off the Indy goaltender's stick and their defender before finding its way home.
Bradford(10) doubled Kalamazoo's lead at the 17:57 mark of the second with a backhand flick from just outside the crease. Bradford came streaking in from the point to receive the pass from Derek Daschke (8). Jacob Nordqvist (2) also assisted the goal.
Michael Joyaux (3) found the net with a rocket one-timer from the top of the slot 50 seconds later on a 5-on-3 advantage. Bradford (20) and Josh Passolt (4) picked up helpers on the bullet from Joyaux.
Kalamazoo's outburst continued 36 seconds into the third period when Morrison (6) notched his second multigoal game of the season with a one-timer from the right circle. Bradford (21) earned his third point with the primary assist from below the left circle. Chad Nychuk (2) recorded the secondary assist.
David Keefer (7) scored his first of two goals at the 1:34 mark by knifing in a loose puck from the left crease. The goal came from a sling pass from Passolt (5) in the left corner. Collin Adams (7) recorded the secondary assist and logged his 50th pro point with the apple.
Keefer scored his second goal of the contest at the 7:34 mark by beating the netminder glove-side from the right circle on the power play. Bradford (22) recorded his 250th pro assist by hitting Keefer with a crisp pass from the opposite side. Joyaux (5) catalyzed the play by quickly getting the puck to Bradford from the point.
Mr. 250 capped things off with a short-handed goal at the 12:42 mark by stealing the puck in the neutral zone and converting all alone on the rush.
The K-Wings finished the game 2-for-6 on the power play and a perfect 6-for-6 on the penalty kill. Kalamazoo took the final shot total, 36-30.

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.”

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.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have grown accustomed to wrapping up the AFC West by the middle of December.
Turns out they’re perfectly fine with clinching it on New Year’s Eve.
Amid an up-and-down season in which the Chiefs have been forced to rely on their defense while their high-profile offense sputtered, Patrick Mahomes and Co. still managed to clinch their eighth consecutive division championship Sunday with a come-from-behind 25-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals — their opponent in each of the past two AFC title games.
Harrison Butker was a career-best 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts, Mahomes had 245 yards passing and a touchdown, and Isiah Pacheco ran for a career-best 130 yards to help Kansas City (10-6) secure the No. 3 seed for the playoffs.
“Obviously, we’re not winning this in Week 12 or Week 13 like before. We had to battle through adversity and find a way to win,” said Mahomes, who went over 4,000 yards passing for his sixth consecutive year as the starter. “Now you’re in the playoffs, it’s one game, single elimination, and I think we can play with anybody.”
The Bengals (8-8), fighting to avoid postseason elimination, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game.
Four of Butker’s six field goals were from at least 43 yards, including his 54-yarder in the first half.
With one last chance, Bengals quarterback Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd over the middle to convert a long fourth down and get them into Kansas City territory. But back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones ultimately dashed their hopes.
Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception.
“Every guy left it all on the field,” Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said. “It was an emotional game. Physical game. All the things we knew would happen, happened. You have to give Kansas City credit. They got it done down the stretch.”
The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from fans, elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal foul penalties.
“I just be under people’s skin sometimes, I guess,” Chase said afterward. “Just trash talking. (He) can’t handle it.”
The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon’s touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball.
Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning’s 1-yard TD run.
“It wasn’t the smoothest early,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.
Butker’s first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, though, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for another field goal to trail 17-13 at the break.
But as the Chiefs’ defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life.
They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker’s third field goal. And when the Bengals had to punt again, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker’s chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead. Two more field goals gave them some breathing room in the closing minutes.
“Everybody contributed in this, which I think was great. Nobody gave up hope,” said Reid, whose ninth consecutive 10-win season moved him past the 49ers’ George Seifert for the second-longest such streak in NFL history. “The guys executed well, and that is the most important thing right now, at this time of year.”
INJURIES
Cincinnati WR Tee Higgins left in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. He returned to the game but didn’t have another catch, finishing with one for 19 yards.
Kansas City WR Justin Watson hurt his chest in the third quarter but returned to the game. The Chiefs are thin at wide receiver with Skyy Moore on injured reserve and Kadarius Toney inactive due to a hip injury.
UP NEXT
Bengals: Host Cleveland next weekend.
Chiefs: At the Los Angeles Chargers next weekend.

At the stroke of midnight, the New Year gives a clean slate for long-elusive resolutions
NEW YORK (AP) — It’s an annual end-of-year exercise in futility for many. But a clean slate awaits at the stroke of midnight for the next round of resolutions.
From the first spray of fireworks to the closing chorus of “Auld Lang Syne” 366 days into the future — 2024 is a leap year — it could be the year for finally achieving long-elusive goals, fulfilling aspirations and being resolute on all those New Year resolutions.
“As humans, we are creatures that aspire,” said Omid Fotuhi, a social psychologist who is a motivation and performance researcher.
“The fact that we have goals, the fact that we want to set goals is just a manifestation of that internal and almost universal desire to want to stretch, to want to reach, to want to expand and grow,” said Fotuhi, the director of learning innovation at Western Governors University Labs and a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh.
“New Year’s resolutions are one of those ways in which we do that,” he said. “There’s something very liberating about a fresh start. Imagine starting on a blank canvas. Anything is possible.”
If so, could this be the year to run a marathon, vanquish (or make peace with) old foes such as the bathroom scale and a thickening waist? Maybe learn Mandarin or register to vote, and actually vote? So many questions, and so much time to delay.
Tim Williams used to issue himself a panoply of resolutions: lose weight, drink less, exercise more and yada yada.
Trending News
Now, he doesn’t bother.
“In the past, I would make them, and I would fail or give up on them or whatever,” said Williams, a part-time resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Carla Valeria Silva de Santos, a Florida transplant from Brazil, wants to learn to play the guitar. A native Portuguese speaker, she wants to learn Spanish and improve her English.
With any resolution, she said, the ultimate goal is “to improve your life and be in peace with yourself.”
Josh Moore, another Fort Lauderdale resident, sees things in line with the natural philosopher Sir Isaac Newton and physics. For every action there must be an equal reaction.
“If you do something like eat a bunch of candy or a bunch of desserts at a holiday party, go run,” he said while interrupting a jog with his dog. “Maybe you went out drinking too much and you might have a hangover. But then next day when you’re feeling better, go to the gym.”
Too many people are too soft on themselves, he posited. “You’ve got to actually hold yourself accountable.”
Resolutions don’t have to be big, grandiose or overly ambitious, Fotuhi said.
Even it they are, he said value should not exclusively be derived from the achievement but also be measured by what you become by trying to better yourself.
“Goals are only there to serve a function to get you started,” Fotuhi said. “If they don’t do that, then maybe that’s not the appropriate goal for you.”
In other words, it is a time to recalibrate goals and expectations, he said, adding that some people hang on to outdated goals for way too long.
“If you set a goal that’s overly ambitious, that doesn’t have the effect of getting you excited and making you believe that it’s possible, then maybe you should think about a goal that’s a little bit more within your reach — starting with a 5k for instance, then moving up to 10K,” Fotuhi said. | https://www.wbrz.com/news/at-the-stroke-of-midnight-the-new-year-gives-a-clean-slate-for-long-elusive-resolutions | 2024-01-01T04:22:19Z |

There were new developments later Wednesday in an ongoing I-Team investigation into what some are calling “mystery notes” found inside sealed food packages.
Our newsgathering partners at WBRE/WYOU first reported the concerns Tuesday over a note found in a box of cereal in Luzerne County.
Since the first reports aired the I-Team has received several emails and calls from viewers from across NEPA, all telling similar stories about finding cryptic notes inside various packaged foods.
These concerns are growing exponentially. 28/22 News has been in contact with more than a dozen area residents all of whom want answers and two area congressmen promise to help get those answers.
“It just bothers me. The note really, it’s the note that really bothers me. These notes are found inside food like kids’ food,” said Joe Miller.
Joe Miller from Sugarloaf Township showed the I-Team on Tuesday what he found inside a box of sealed Lucky Charms S’mores cereal that he bought from a grocery store in Luzerne County.
Since our report, people from across the area have been reaching out on the Eyewitness News Facebook page a person wrote:
“So glad to see your report about strange notes. I found one several months ago and just last month in Lindt dark chocolate. They were purchased from different retailers. Tried to research but came up with nothing.”
Another person posted:
“This ought to add a few more layers to all the secure packaging.”
Chris from Montoursville reached out to the I-Team to tell us she found a cryptic note in a sealed box of Chai tea.
“It’s kind of disturbing that this could happen in sealed-up bags. Things like this it’s a little unnerving to me,” Chris explained.
At this point, 28/22 news is not identifying the stores where the products were purchased and not showing the content of the notes as we continue our deep dive into what’s going on.
But we can tell you these notes contain words like terror-riots and JFK warned of SS and Lord of Rings. As well as words connected to conspiracy theories.
Congressman Dan Meuser says he is looking for answers.
“We’re definitely going to stay on top of this. If it’s concerning to our constituents which it clearly is, it’s concerning to us. So, we are going to stay in touch with our contacts at the FBI and the FDA. Everything that we can find out that we can share we will.”
Congressman Matt Cartwright says he also has been in contact with federal agencies about the mystery notes.
There’s been no indications of sickness but you don’t want to take any chances and we want to find out who is doing this. It’s obviously somebody’s idea of a weird joke but you don’t want to let get any further than that,” said Matt Cartwright.
The FDA is aware of the situation. The agency evaluates product defects and other complaints that it receives. Consumers who have recently purchased items that they suspect have been tampered with should not use the product and should return it to the retail outlet. | https://www.timesleader.com/news/1640932/tv-report-tales-of-cryptic-food-notes-pouring-in-from-around-pa | 2024-01-01T04:22:19Z |

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.

#Smartest #people #drive #Freriks #Van #Rossem #despair #endofyear #special #Mindfck #victims #Show
The retiring Smartest Person presenter Philip Freriks and jury member Maarten van Rossem were driven to despair in the New Year’s Eve special of Mindf*ck by illusionist Victor Mids and four former winners of the knowledge quiz: ‘our’ Angela de Jong, comedian Diederik Smit, presenter Art Rooijakkers and comedian Lisa Loeb.
De Jong, Smit and Rooijakkers all ask Freriks and Van Rossem – who will leave De Slimste mens in more than a year – a question to which they have actually already given the answer. Freriks has to write down the first film title, after which Smit starts talking about Jaws in a recorded video. Mids then asks Van Rossem if he wants to take some chewing gum from a container. That number turns out to be exactly the amount that Rooijakkers subsequently mentions in the video. And when Freriks has to randomly pick a photo from a pile of former winners, De Jong tells him via the screen a little later that it is Lisa Loeb. And of course it’s true.
The excitement among Freriks and Van Rossem is already great, as the jury member says after the ‘chewing gum issue’: ‘How is it possible?’
But when it turns out that Loeb has been sitting next to the two in the third candidate chair of The Smartest Person – in the well-known Mindf*ck gorilla suit – and had the answers from Freriks and Van Rossem in her paws all this time, the two fall. men were silent for a moment in amazement.
A little later Freriks says: “The strange thing is: we are of course rational thinking types. But we are still standing here in mild bewilderment, wondering: what is happening here.”
Van Rossem adds: “We are victims. I will soon tell my grandchildren what wonderful things have happened here.”

PAIA, Hawaii (KHNL/Gray News) - A 39-year-old surfer died Saturday after suffering a shark bite at Maui’s Paia Bay, the Department of Land and Natural Resources confirmed.

Nailers Put Exclamation Point on 2023 with 4-1 Win
December 31, 2023 - ECHL (ECHL) - Wheeling Nailers News Release
WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers put on one final show for their fans in 2023, as Downtown Wheeling celebrated Kids New Year's Eve with a terrific night of hockey at WesBanco Arena. A crowd of 3,130 saw Tanner Laderoute post three points, Matthew Quercia score a go-ahead shorthanded goal, and Jaxon Castor make 33 saves, as the Nailers swept their two-game weekend set against the Norfolk Admirals with a 4-1 triumph. The win was Derek Army's 87th as head coach of the Nailers, moving him into sole possession of fourth place in team history.
Both teams found the twine in the first period. The Nailers got off to a fast start, as they turned on the red light just 1:17 into the match. Cédric Desruisseaux carried the puck into the left side of the offensive zone, then dropped a pass back to Justin Addamo, who stepped up and zipped a wrist shot into the left side of the cage. Norfolk tied the score with 3:04 remaining. Danny Katic picked off the puck, then centered a feed to Brandon Osmundson, who placed his first ECHL goal into the left side of the net.
Two more goals went into the cage during the middle frame, but this time, both belonged to Wheeling. The go-ahead strike came on the penalty kill, as Tanner Laderoute slipped the puck into the slot, where Matthew Quercia stepped up and fired a cannon of a one-timer into the right side of the goal. With 1:32 remaining, Jordan Martel added to the lead, when he sifted a wrist shot along the ice and in from between the circles. Laderoute collected the primary helper on that tally as well.
Laderoute applied the finishes touches on 2023 with 5:41 left, when he stole the puck along the left wall, then wired a shot into the left side of the net for the 4-1 final score, as Wheeling improved to 20-7-4 all-time on New Year's Eve.
Jaxon Castor was magnificent for the Nailers for the second straight night, as he earned the victory by denying 33 of the 34 shots he faced. Yaniv Perets took the loss for the Admirals, as he allowed four goals on 38 shots.
The Nailers will begin the 2024 calendar year with a three-game road trip to Orlando, where they will face the Solar Bears on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, all at 7:00. Wheeling will then play three straight home games the following weekend on January 12th, 13th, and 14th.

A PSLV rocket carrying a total of 11 satellites including ISRO's X-Ray polarimeter satellite (XPoSat), lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on January 1, 2024.
ISRO's maiden X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite, India’s first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions, would offer insights into celestial objects like black holes.
ISRO’s ever reliable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in its C58 mission, placed the primary X-Ray Polarimeter satellite XPoSat into a 650 Km Low Earth Orbit as intended after lifting off at the pre-fixed time of 9.10 a.m. from the first launch pad here.
As the 25-hour countdown concluded, the 44.4-metre tall rocket lifted off majestically with thunderous applause from spectators who had descended here in large numbers at this spaceport situated about 135 km east of Chennai.
The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is aimed to investigate the polarisation of intense X-ray sources in space.
The X-Ray polarisation serves as a crucial diagnostic tool for examining the radiation mechanism and geometry of celestial sources.
The primary payload of XPoSat is POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-Rays) which is designed to measure polarimetry parameters by Raman Research Institute and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing) built by the U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru. The Mission life is about five years.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Freshman guard Kanaan Carlyle scored 25 points, Spencer Jones added 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and Stanford surprised No. 4 Arizona 100-82 in a Pac-12 matchup Sunday.
Andrej Stojakovic scored 16 points and center Maxime Raynaud had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinal (6-6, 1-1), who made a school-record 16 3-pointers in the victory.
Caleb Love led Arizona (10-3, 1-1) with 23 points and center Oumar Ballo added 12 points and seven rebounds.
The victory was Stanford’s first over a ranked opponent since beating Arizona last season and its eighth over a ranked team since 2020.
“I think this will absolutely be the peak moment of this season for 2023,” Stanford coach Jerod Haase said. “For 2024, we’re going to start from scratch and see new peaks and new highs. Usually I tell them to enjoy the win until midnight. This time I told them they could enjoy this one for the rest of the year.”
Stanford raced to an early lead, scoring the first seven points. After Ballo made a layup to bring the Wildcats within a point at the 6:56 mark of the first half, Stanford went on a 21-7 run for a 43-28 lead with under three minutes left in the first half.
The Cardinal got a big boost from both of its freshman guards off the bench in the first half. Carlyle scored 13 of his 25 points in the first half while making all four of his 3-point shots. Stojakovic scored nine points and grabbed two rebounds.
Haase praised his young players and said they were a big part of the win.
“(Kanaan) was fearless out there,” Haase said. “With Kanaan and Andre, their eyes are full of wonder and excitement. I think we can all feed off that.”
Arizona struggled to find a its rhythm in the first half, shooting 41.2% from the field and 25% from long distance.
Stanford led 44-35 at halftime.
Stanford’s hot shooting continued in the second half. Jones scored 11 of the Cardinal’s first 16 points after halftime.
Arizona closed within 11 points at 80-69 when Ballo made a second-chance layup with just over seven minutes left in the game.
A layup by Jones gave Stanford a 95-75 lead with 2:57 left in the second half for its largest advantage of the game.
The win could give Stanford a huge confidence boost as it will go on a three-game trip against UCLA, USC and Oregon State in the coming weeks.
“The people in the locker room all believe what we can do,” Stojakovic said. “We knew we were able to accomplish a win like this. We had a couple games not go our way, but I think this one was finally the game to show that we are one of those teams and we can make a lot of noise in the Pac-12.”
The Wildcats, who are third in the country in fast-break points per game (18.67), were held to just six points in transition by Stanford. Arizona made just seven of its 26 3-point shots and allowed Stanford to make 58.1% of its shots.
“They outplayed our guys,” Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said. “I don’t care who it was, they outplayed us.”

Stanford: At UCLA on Wednesday.
Arizona: Home against Colorado on Thursday.

Chief Justice Roberts casts a wary eye on the uses of artificial intelligence in the federal courts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Trending News
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.” | https://www.wbrz.com/news/chief-justice-roberts-casts-a-wary-eye-on-the-uses-of-artificial-intelligence-in-the-federal-courts | 2024-01-01T04:22:25Z |
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.
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.wpxi.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:25Z |

According to a study, the risk of cardiovascular disease is increased, especially in women, if they eat a late breakfast and a late dinner.
Frankfurt – Anyone who has a particularly late breakfast or late dinner has a negative impact on their health and is more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. Many diets and skipping meals, for example due to increased or long-term stress, increase the risk of heart and blood vessel diseases, warn the authors of an international study published in the magazine Nature published in December.
In contrast to other studies, it was recorded exactly what was eaten and at what time, and not what study participants themselves defined as breakfast or “late” eating.
About the “NutriNet-Santé” study:
The study was initiated in 2009, and since then over 100,000 participants (79 percent) have regularly answered online questionnaires about lifestyle, nutrition and health. Questionnaires that documented all food intake over three days – with regard to food quantities and times – were specifically evaluated. Factors such as being overweight or working at night were excluded.
Authors from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), the
Department of Experimental and Health Sciences, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), also in Barcelona as well as the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord and Université Paris Cité in Bobigny. (Source: Magazine Nature)
Prevent cardiovascular diseases: Don’t eat at night and don’t skip breakfast
Rhythms in organs are controlled by the rhythm in which we eat every day – especially in the liver, but also in the heart, kidneys and pancreas, and blood pressure is also regulated by this. Other data have suggested that eating late at night puts you at risk for obesity, and skipping breakfast can put you at risk for heart disease. “Sensitivity to insulin and elevated glucose concentrations is greatest in the early morning and decreases throughout the day. This shows that the metabolism is primed to anticipate and digest energy sources at certain times of the day,” the authors write.

The new study shows specifically that in order to prevent heart and blood vessel diseases, it could be important to have breakfast before 9 a.m. and not eat anything after 8 p.m. Instead of skipping breakfast, it is better not to eat at all at night for a longer period of time by shifting meal times.
In the video: Healthy eating to lose weight after the holidays – a nutritionist gives these tips:
Planning meals: Risk of stroke decreases through nighttime fasting
The study identified 2,036 cases of heart and blood vessel diseases. It was shown that every hour that the first meal was delayed was associated with a higher risk of cerebrovascular diseases, i.e. diseases of the blood vessels in the brain, including strokes. However, no connection has been found between the timing of meals or the number of eating occasions and the risk of coronary heart disease (calcification of the coronary arteries).
In particular, according to the study, there are these connections:
- Every additional hour delay in the time of the first meal of the day increases the overall risk of cardiovascular disease
- There was no association with the time of first meal for the risk of brain blood vessel disease – but eating every hour later in the evening increased the risk of this.
- In addition, the risk of diseases of the blood vessels in the brain decreased with each additional hour of nighttime fasting
Anyone who wants to eat healthy for the heart and blood vessels in the brain will get this clear tip from the study authors: not eating anything for a longer period of time at night is healthy. However, it is much healthier to eat dinner early and have breakfast early again than to postpone both meals.
The risks of the respective diseases were significantly increased, especially in women – night fasting in particular reduced the likelihood of coronary artery disease. Another study shows how belly fat can be reduced: including through whole grain products. | https://www.world-today-journal.com/study-reveals-when-you-should-eat/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:26Z |

Sleep could help fight against infection: study
ASTANA. KAZINFORM - Sleep could enhance the target ability of immune cells inside human body to help fight off infection, a recent study said, Xinhua has learned.
"This finding shows that sleep has the potential to enhance the efficiency of effector T cell responses," according to the report.
Researchers said that compared with the wake condition, sleep significantly increased the mean fluorescence intensity of T cells, a type of white blood cell that fights off infection inside human body.
"Our results demonstrate that a couple of hours of sleep loss suffice to reduce the adhesion capacity of antigen-specific T cells," according to the study published Tuesday in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
The findings could help develop new therapeutic strategies with the aim of improving the target ability of T cells, especially when they are killing tumor cells. | https://en.inform.kz/news/sleep-could-help-fight-against-infection-study_a3498476/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:28Z |
The friends and co-workers of Chris Marriott have paid tribute to him after he died trying to help someone and have set up a fundraising campaign to help his family.
Chris was killed after he stopped to help a woman who was lying unconscious in the Burngreave area of Sheffield at around 2pm on Wednesday afternoon. Chris was in a crowd of people who were helping the woman when a car struck him and he sadly died.
He worked at a debt advice charity Community Money Advice, and now his co-workers are raising money to support his family. The CEO Heather Keates also paid tribute to Chris.
Chris worked as the manager of the IT department for the charity. Heather said: "He was a very kind, very gentle man. He was very willing to help, you know what IT can be like but he would break it down, making things very, very simple - he was very patient.

"Also a big family man, so he would talk about his family, his boys, a lot and how proud he was of them as well." She added: "He was a person that enjoyed being with people. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him."
The funds will all go towards Chris' family to support them during this difficult time. Heather described his loss as a "massive shock" and said a book of condolences had been set up in his memory at work.
However, the GoFundMe campaign has proved a massive success, raising more than £30,000 for the family. Heather said: "It's great, I've talked to people about how Chris was a very active part of his community and how he would spend a lot of time giving out to his community.
"Now is the opportunity for the community to come together and support Chris' widow and the two boys as well. So we've been bowled over by the response. We want to take away any financial concerns that the family might have at this particular time and give them space to just do what they want to do rather than feeling that they have to do anything."
She added: "We just encourage people to give whatever they can, however little. Every little helps and the great thing is that we're seeing a lot of small donations and those are equally as valuable."
In response to the campaign, Chris' family released a statement on the donation page. They said: "We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support being shown for Chris, and appreciate every comment and donation.
"Chris would be amazed (and no doubt embarrassed) at the attention his actions have generated, but would also loved to have seen how friends, neighbours and complete strangers have come together to show support for his family and help financially. Thank you so much." You can donate to the GoFundMe campaign for Chris' family here.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts’ desperation heave was intercepted to seal the Eagles’ fourth loss this month and one that meant so much more.
Philadelphia’s shot at the top spot in the NFC? Gone. The bye and home-field edge goes to the 49ers. The NFC East crown? Once in their grasp, the Eagles now need help from — yikes, Washington — to win a second straight division title.
The team that opened December 10-1 and looked like a favorite to return to the Super Bowl unraveled Sunday with a 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and now faces the grim reality of opening the playoffs on the road.
“We’ve got to get things fixed,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “And we’ve got to get them fixed fast.”
Where to start is the hard part.
James Conner ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 32 seconds remaining and Kyler Murray threw three TD passes for Arizona, which rallied from a 15-point deficit.
Former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon returned to Philly and got his biggest win yet in his first season as Arizona’s coach. Granted, there haven’t been many of them for the Cardinals (4-12).
The Eagles (11-5) could have won the NFC East with wins against Arizona and the New York Giants next week. Now, Dallas can win the division with a win next week at Washington.
The Eagles could still earn the No. 2 seed with a win at the Giants and a Cowboys loss.
“Man, I’m not worried at all but there’s a lot to learn from a game like this,” defensive end Brandon Graham said.
Maybe he should be concerned. The Eagles have played more like a team bound for a quick playoff exit than one that could make a second straight trip to the Super Bowl.
There was plenty of blame to go around: a discombobulated offense that included indecisive play-calling late in the game, a running game that never got going and a defense that couldn’t get off the field.
The series of blunders included Sirianni running out of timeouts on the Eagles’ final drive and a late-game first-and-20 (because of offensive holding) that saw the Eagles run twice and try a short pass that only got them 5 yards.
“We’re in the playoffs. Lot of teams want to be in the playoffs,” Sirianni said. “We can still do some things here.”
Murray finished 25 of 31 for 232 yards and got stronger as the game progressed, overcoming a 99-yard pick-6 by Sydney Brown early in the second quarter. Conner rushed for 128 yards on 26 carries.
“With everything that’s happened, a lot of disappointment this year, a lot of tough losses,” Murray said. “But trying to finish the season off the right way.”
The Cardinals rallied from a 21-6 halftime deficit on the strength of Murray’s two TD tosses in the third quarter that tied the game at 21-all.
Hurts put the Eagles ahead in the fourth with his third TD pass of the game, a 9-yarder to Dallas Goedert.
Normally, that would be enough to win a game at the Linc. But Philly’s defense couldn’t hold on. Cornerback Kelee Ringo was flagged for pass interference and the Cardinals used the extra 29 yards to help tie game 28-28 with 5:26 left. Murray hit Michael Wilson for a 5-yard TD.
Jake Elliott kicked a 43-yard field goal with 2:33 left to give the Eagles their last lead.
Murray had plenty of time to move the Cardinals into scoring position. He hit Greg Dorch for a 36-yard gain that brought Arizona to the Eagles 5 and set up Conner’s decisive score.
The Cardinals finished with 449 yards of offense and scored touchdowns on all four possessions in the second half.
Gannon certainly had reason to gloat — his successor, Sean Desai, already had his play-calling duties stripped during this morbid stretch and turned over to Matt Patricia. No matter who is calling the shots this month, the Eagles’ defense has been steamrolled. The Cardinals rushed for 221 yards and never punted.
“We still have everything in front of us,” Hurts said.
FAST PHILLY START
The Eagles at last made solid use of 34-year-old receiver Julio Jones, signed in October to provide some depth.
The seven-time Pro Bowl selection had just seven catches for 27 yards and two touchdowns entering the game. He wasn’t supposed to be a top target, of course, not with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both topping the 1,000-yard receiving mark this season.
Jones caught a 12-yard TD pass in the first quarter and had a 22-yard TD with 16 seconds left in the second.
Hurts’ three TD passes brought his total to a franchise-record 38 touchdowns this season. He had already set an NFL QB record with 15 rushing touchdowns. Hurts in 2022 and Randall Cunningham in 1990 both accounted for 35 TDs for the Eagles.
DEFENSIVE GEM
Brown, a rookie safety out of Illinois, circled under a pass from Murray at the Eagles 1-yard line and streaked down the sideline, then zig-zagged into the end zone to give Philly a 14-3 lead. Brown reached a top speed of 21.52 mph and traveled 126.7 total yards on the 99-yard return, per Next Gen Stats.
FAKE OUT
The Eagles used a fake play off the tush push to get a first down. Hurts lined up under center on third-and-1 and flipped the ball to Kenneth Gainwell, who threw a 17-yard pass to Smith. Hurts found Jones for the 22-yard TD on the next play.
INJURIES
Cardinals CB Garrett Williams left with an ankle injury, and OL D.J. Humphries suffered a knee injury.
UP NEXT
While the Eagles try to finish strong against the Giants next weekend, the Cardinals will try to play spoiler to another playoff contender, hosting the Seattle Seahawks.

#Supermarket #customer #momentarily #faints #shelf

In a supermarket, a customer makes a shocking observation: Extremely high sausage prices are causing wild speculation on the Reddit platform.
Munich – Steady price increases in supermarkets are now almost the order of the day. An image recently surfaced on Reddit, the social network and discussion forum, that is stirring up feelings. An alert customer posted the image on a subreddit called “r/shrinklation” and then “blacked out briefly,” as he writes himself.
The supermarket discounter Netto recently garnered sympathy when it came to price increases, as it decided to point out price increases instead of sweeping them under the carpet.
Sausage prices shock supermarket customers and hundreds of Reddit users
The image, which has sparked numerous reactions from Reddit users, shows the price tag in the refrigerated section of a supermarket, where meat prices appear to have risen by a surprising amount. It’s not the first time that a customer on Reddit has been annoyed about the high price of meat; a receipt with a high price for salami has already caused displeasure.
A small but crucial detail caught the attention of users: Instead of the expected 2.50 to 2.95 euros, the supermarket customer found a fairly expensive price range of 18.90 to 25.90 euros for various types of sausage.
Sensational prices in the supermarket sausage aisle are discussed on Reddit
The image spread through the community and sparked numerous speculations and discussions. While some Redditors celebrated the alleged mistake as a humorous glitch and called it “stumplation,” other Reddit users find the price of animal products completely reasonable.
Meat should therefore finally cost what it is really worth, which could significantly improve the standard of animal husbandry. “If people saw how the meat was produced, they would faint too,” said one Redditor.
Price shock on Reddit: Is this an oversight or the new food inflation?
If you take a closer look at the picture, it becomes clear that the price per kilo is identical to the price shown, which is usually based on the packaging. Whether this was actually an unintentional error remains unclear.
Some users are already asking people to purchase the supposed luxury sausages locally and test whether they justify the astronomical price. The incident is likely to further inflame the supermarket dispute over what prices consumers should expect at the checkout or on the shelf.

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.wpxi.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:32Z |
BALTIMORE (AP) — Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens clinched a division title and the top seed in the AFC.
There’s no mathematical way to tell if the star quarterback wrapped up the MVP award, too, but his fans made their views on the topic clear.
Serenaded throughout by “MVP!” chants, Jackson threw for 321 yards and five touchdowns as the Ravens eviscerated the Miami Dolphins 56-19 on Sunday. Baltimore won its first AFC North title since 2019, when Jackson was named MVP. He might be closing in on that honor again.
“He played a perfect football game in terms of the passing game,” coach John Harbaugh said.
The stat sheet agreed. Jackson went 18 of 21 without an interception. He finished with a perfect passer rating of 158.3.
Jackson missed the end of the past two Baltimore seasons because of injuries. Now the Ravens can rest him voluntarily next week if they want, although Harbaugh was noncommittal on that.
Baltimore (13-3) has won six straight, and the Ravens rolled through a grueling December stretch that included games against the Rams, Jaguars, 49ers and Dolphins.
“I don’t know if I’ve seen a more impressive performance in a game. I’m not sure I’ve seen a more impressive performance in a season to date,” said Harbaugh, whose team will have a first-round bye before hosting its postseason opener. “Obviously we have a lot more to do. We’ve got a lot of work to do in front of us, but this is a mature football team.”
Miami (11-5) is also postseason bound, but now the winner of next weekend’s Dolphins-Bills game will take the AFC East. Miami was without two offensive stars in receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle).
And now the Dolphins face another potentially significant injury. Linebacker Bradley Chubb — with his team down 30 points — had to be carted off with 3:05 remaining after hurting his knee.
That raised obvious questions about why Chubb was still in the game.
“There’s times like this one where I would like a time machine for sure,” Miami coach Mike McDaniel said.
Jackson had more touchdown passes than incompletions. That’s a feat Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa also accomplished in a 70-20 win over Denver in Week 3.
Jackson also had a perfect passer rating against Miami in 2019. He joins Tom Brady (against Detroit) as the only quarterbacks with two perfect ratings against the same team, with a minimum of 20 attempts.
“I love the guy,” Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen said. “He proved everything he had to prove. If anybody else saying otherwise, they just don’t like Lamar. That’s what it is. They don’t like us, they don’t like Baltimore, they don’t like Lamar.”
This matchup featured Miami’s top-ranked scoring offense and Baltimore’s top-ranked scoring defense. In the early going, the Dolphins had the upper hand. They scored on the game’s first drive when Tagovailoa threw an 8-yard pass to Cedrick Wilson Jr. Jackson answered with a 20-yard scoring strike to Justice Hill.
Miami would have had another touchdown on its second drive, but Tyreek Hill bobbled the ball in the end zone and the Dolphins kicked a field goal.
The Ravens took the lead for good in the second quarter when Gus Edwards capped an 89-yard drive with a 1-yard scoring run. After another Miami field goal, Jackson immediately found Zay Flowers open deep for a 75-yard touchdown that made it 21-13.
The Ravens struck again 94 seconds later thanks to a pair of one-handed catches. The first was an interception by Roquan Smith, the second a 35-yard catch-and-run TD by Isaiah Likely on fourth-and-7.
Justice Hill returned the second-half kickoff 78 yards, setting up Jackson’s 7-yard TD toss to Likely that made it 35-13.
Miami trailed 35-14 with under 13 minutes remaining last season before rallying to a 42-38 win over the Ravens. The Dolphins started the fourth quarter with a touchdown this time, a 1-yard pass from Tagovailoa to De’Von Achane, but it was Baltimore that closed strong.
“Last year, the score was looking like that at halftime and third quarter. Then those guys started making plays and we didn’t do anything,” Jackson said. “The only thing that was on my mind was to finish the game, and today we did it.”
The Ravens marched right back down the field and scored on Jackson’s 4-yard pass to Patrick Ricard to go up 42-19. Melvin Gordon III added a 7-yard touchdown run, and a Miami fumble led to a another TD. Tyler Huntley threw a scoring pass to Charlie Kolar on third-and-goal from the 19.
(That was Huntley’s only pass attempt. He also finished with a perfect 158.3 passer rating.)
“We’ll look at the film tomorrow, see what we can do better and move on to the Bills,” Tagovailoa said. “Everything is still in front of us for what we want to accomplish as a team.”
STREAKS AND MILESTONES
The Ravens rushed for at least 100 yards for a 32nd consecutive game and had a sack for a 37th straight. … Jackson reached 800 yards rushing on the season, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to do that three times. … This was the second-highest scoring total in franchise history for the Ravens, behind only their 59-10 win at Miami in that 2019 romp. … Tyreek Hill surpassed 10,000 yards receiving for his career.
INJURIES
The teams weren’t at full strength at the start, and the injuries continued throughout the game. Miami lost CB Xavien Howard (foot). Baltimore CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) went down as well. Ravens NT Michael Pierce and S Daryl Worley were both evaluated for head injuries.

December 31, 2023 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Milwaukee Admirals News Release
Rockford, IL- David Gust scored the game-winning goal to lead the Rockford IceHogs to a 4-3 win over the Admirals Sunday at BMO Center.
Rockford went 2-7 on the power play against Milwaukee while the Ads finished 0-3.
The game was the first-ever American Hockey League start, and appearance, for Milwaukee goalie Gustavs Davis Grigals. He is just the seventh goalie to appear in a game for the Admirals since Karl Taylor became the team's head coach in thew 2018-19 season. The others are Yaroslav Askarov, Devin Cooley, Parker Gahagen, Troy Grosenick, Connor Ingram and Tom McCollum.
Milwaukee's Denis Gurianov deflected a Jordan Gross shot for his 12th goal of the season at 14:40 of the third frame to tie the score 3-3, but the IceHogs scored :18 later when Gust had a mini-breakaway. Gust's shot from the right circle slid through the legs of Grigals.
It was the first game in the season series that wasn't decided in overtime or a shootout. The Admirals are now 3-1-1-0 against the IceHogs while Rockford's record against Milwaukee is 2-0-2-1.
The IceHogs scored a 5-on-3 power play goal for the only tally in the first period. Brett Seney was alone in the slot, received a pass and shot the puck past Grigals for his eighth goal of the season at 5:20 of the first frame.
The Admirals tied the game at 1:44 of the second period. Fedor Svechkov scooted around the IceHogs goal and backhanded a pass to Anthony Angello near the goalie's crease. Angello buried the shot for his third goal of the season. Svechkov and Kevin Wall earned assists.
The IceHogs reclaimed the advantage ten minutes after Angello's goal. Rockford defenseman Ethan Del Mastro scored his fourth goal of the season with a shot from the right circle at 11:46 of the second period.
Milwaukee tied the game 2-2 at 15:35 of the second period. Marc Del Gaizo skated the puck around the IceHogs goal to the right corner. From beyond the goal line, Del Gaizo threw the puck toward the net and it bounced off goalie Mitchell Weeks into the cage for a goal. It was Del Gaizo's fourth marker of the season.
Rockford grabbed the lead again with another power play goal at 18:34 of the second stanza. Wyatt Kaiser's pass from the left point was deflected by Mike Hardman into the goal. It was scored on the IceHogs sixth power play attempt in the contest.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A South Florida business owner is accused of shooting a landscaper on Friday after the worker allegedly blew leaves onto his property, authorities said.
According to Miami-Dade County online booking records, Claudio Arrendell, 52, was charged with one count of attempted murder.
Police said that Arrendell, the owner of P&P Auto Tire Shop in northwestern Miami-Dade County, got into an argument with the landscaper, WTVJ-TV reported.
A judge gave the business owner no bond on Saturday, after allegedly shooting a landscaper over leaves blown onto his property. Here's the latest: https://t.co/pCUhEtiKi5
— NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) December 31, 2023
Police said the landscaper was working at a property across the street from the business, and Arrendell was allegedly upset that the leaves from the workers were blowing onto his property, according to the television station.
According to police, Arrendell allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the landscaper, WSVN-TV reported.
The victim, who has not been identified, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital and was originally listed in critical condition, according to WFOR-TV. The victim has since been upgraded to stable condition, investigators told the television station.
During Arrendell’s court appearance on Saturday, the judge ruled that Arrendell would be held without bond, according to WPLG-TV. | https://www.wpxi.com/news/trending/tire-shop-owner-accused-shooting-landscaper-who-blew-leaves-onto-property/JTNTIP5L75ARBN5YW6AF2T5ZU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:38Z |
#Sustainable #problems #loom #electric #cars #expensive
Mobility•31 Dec ’23 10:30 Author: Jorn Lucas
It was gnashing of teeth at Dutch gas stations, where the price of a liter of petrol or diesel could rise to a record high in 2023. This is less of a problem for owners of an electric car, but other problems arise for EVs that may be of a sustainable nature.
BNR lists the most important economic news of this year for you, so that you are fully informed.
While at the end of September the average price for a liter of Euro 95 still peaked at 2.30 euros, the recommended retail price is currently ‘only’ more than 2 euros. The petrol price in the Netherlands is heading for a price increase of around 6 percent this year, a somewhat distorted picture, because in September a liter of Euro 95 was still 19 percent more expensive than on the last day of 2022.
Also read | Gasoline prices fall sharply, while oil prices rise again
In fact, a further increase in excise duties was planned for January 1. An inflation correction would be added on top of this, which would make a liter of gasoline 21 cents more expensive in total. A parliamentary majority ensured that the tax increase did not go through. Very unwise, thinks Professor of Economics and Public Finance Bas Jacobs of the Vrije Universiteit.
“The government sees this as a new cash cow.”
Noud Broekhof, BNR
Also read | ‘Reducing excise duties on fuel is a very unwise idea’
Cost increases are also in store for owners of vintage cars and campers. There is now an exemption if the car is older than 40 years. However, the outgoing cabinet has decided that from 2028 the exemption will only apply to vintage cars from before 1988. All cars produced after that year will from now on also have to pay motor vehicle tax (MRB). “The government sees this as a new cash cow,” says mobility editor Noud Broekhof.
Also read | Costs of vintage cars and campers are rising significantly due to a new measure
The question remains whether the electric car will also receive that stamp. But now that the MRB is also looming for the electric car, these drivers will also have to pay motor vehicle tax from 2025, which will cause interest in this car, which generally ends up on the road mainly via a lease construction, to plummet. The purchase price is too high for the consumer, but if you are still interested, we would like to refer you here. Due to declining demand and growing supply, lease prices are plummeting, a kind of perfect storm in the opposite direction.
Also read | Lease fleet full of electric cars, Allianz predicts disaster
The growing supply now increasingly comes from China. According to credit insurer Allianz Trade, this could cause a major blow to the European car industry and therefore to the entire European economy. Currently, four out of five cars sold in Europe are also assembled here. But that will largely disappear if Chinese cars can easily continue to enter the European market with state support.
‘A perfect storm in the opposite direction’
It is not the only problem for the electric car. A known disadvantage of these cars came to light when a fire broke out on the freighter Fremantle Highway, just north of Terschelling, at the end of July. Of the thousands of cars on board, the majority appeared to consist of highly flammable electric cars. The blame for the fire was quickly placed on the many EVs, which was unjustified as it turned out. Anyway, it turned out to be a case of seeing through the eye of the needle.
Also read | ‘ViaPlay gambled and lost’
Things are now also over for ViaPlay. The Swedish streaming service ViaPlay has gone into freefall, its CEO has been fired and its market value has all but evaporated on the stock exchange. The company gambled and lost, and the question is whether they can keep the Formula 1 rights in the Netherlands that they bought for a lot of money. It is not yet a zombie company; ViaPlay says it will mainly focus on the home market.
Also read | ‘VanMoof was a zombie company’
However, the electric bicycle manufacturer VanMoof turned out to be a company that should not have a long life. A huge mountain of debt and problems in dealing with the many technical problems of the bicycle ultimately destroyed the company of the Carlier brothers in Amsterdam. Also gambled and lost, despite the restart under the wings of the British E-scooter manufacturer Lavoie. | https://www.world-today-journal.com/sustainable-problems-loom-for-electric-cars-becoming-much-more-expensive/ | 2024-01-01T04:22:38Z |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Detroit coach Dan Campbell said he explained to officials before playing the Dallas Cowboys what would happen on a 2-point conversion play the Lions had planned.
Chaos ensued anyway, and left the Lions feeling as if a victory was taken away from the NFC North winners in their pursuit of the top seed in the NFC playoffs.
Officials ruled offensive lineman Taylor Decker wasn’t an eligible receiver when he caught a 2-point conversion pass that would have given Detroit a one-point lead with 23 seconds remaining.
Instead, the Lions (11-5) lost to the Cowboys 20-19 on Saturday night when the third 2-point try was an incomplete pass short of the goal line.
Jared Goff threw an interception on the attempt after Decker’s catch was disallowed, but Dallas was offsides.
The explanations contradicted each other, with Goff saying he was certain Decker reported as an eligible receiver and Dan Skipper had not. In a pool report, referee Brad Allen said the opposite, that Decker didn’t report and Skipper did.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” said Campbell, who was visibly angry with Allen when they talked after the officials made the ruling. “I explain everything pregame to a tee, OK? I did that.”
Allen said Skipper, a backup tackle, reported to him as an eligible receiver, but then went to tackle spot, which meant he didn’t have to report at all. Decker, the starting left tackle, was already in the game.
Video showed Decker having a conversation with Allen, who then said something to the Dallas defense.
“That conversation is where (Skipper) reports to me, and I then go to the defensive team, and I say to them ‘(Skipper) has reported as an eligible receiver,’ so they will be aware of who has reported and then I return to my position,” Allen said in the pool report. “That was the conversation with the defensive line.”
Decker’s conversation with officials came after Goff’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Campbell said he had already told his team he would go for the win if the Lions scored.
“All I really want to say on it, just so I don’t get myself into trouble, is I did exactly what coach told me to do,” Decker said. “It was my understanding, too, Dan brings up the possibility of those sorts of plays pregame, so I did what I was told to do. Did how we did it in practice all week.”
Goff pleaded Detroit’s case as officials discussed what they were going to call.
“Very confused,” Goff said. “What I do know, and I don’t know if I’ll get fined for this, but I do know that Decker reported. I do know that Dan Skipper did not. I do know that they said that Dan Skipper did.”
The Cowboys (11-5) extended their home winning streak to 16 games — and finished the regular season 8-0 at home — by rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit at AT&T Stadium for the second time this season.
McCarthy said he was told Skipper was announced as eligible, but that Skipper lined up in a way that made Decker an ineligible receiver.
“That was a 2-point extravaganza,” Dallas coach Mike McCarthy said. “It looked like training camp, lining up and going at it for three or four plays. Great fight and finish by both teams.”

Binghamton Earns Point in SOL on NYE
December 31, 2023 - Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL) - Binghamton Black Bears News Release
BINGHAMTON- The Binghamton Black Bears fell in the shootout to the Danbury Hat Tricks 4-3 on Sunday evening.
Unlike the Saturday night contest between the two teams, it took seven minutes for a team to score the first goal. Danbury scored first on the opening power play opportunity as Brandon Stojcevski scored his second-straight goal in the weekend matchup. A sell-out crowd fell quiet, but it did not take long for them to get re-energized. Josh Fletcher continued the hot streak for the third line, as he scored by banking a shot off the glass and back of the Danbury goaltender.
Tyson Kirkby gave Binghamton the lead at the 14:29 mark as he received a beautiful centering pass from Austin Thompson. Kirkby's 14th of the season sent Binghamton to the locker room up 2-1 as they outshot Danbury 19-14.
The second period had nonstop action as both goaltenders traded excellent saves. Each team managed to put 14 shots on goal, and it was not until the final 30 seconds that a goal was scored. Thomas Wray netted his 7th of the season on a shot that got buried in the netting that left a ton of people wondering where the puck was. Wray's shot got stuck between the support beam and connector of the net but raised the crowd to their feet celebrating the Black Bears third goal of the night. Binghamton led 3-1 going into the third period.
Danbury would repeat their gameplan from the previous night and mount a multi-goal comeback. Jacob Ratcliffe and Kyle Heitzner would both score, tying the game at 3-3. Binghamton took a penalty in the final minute of regulation time but managed to get to overtime and secure one point in the standings.
Binghamton outshot Danbury 9-2 in the extra frame but both goaltenders stood tall and did not allow the game to come to end after 65 minutes. For the third time in this series, the game went to a shootout. Connor Wooley was the only player to score in the best of three rounds, sending Danbury home with the extra point. Hat Tricks won 4-3 SO.

And the atmospheric fronts, which will move from European Russia, will bring scattered snowfalls, blizzards, strong gusty winds first to the western and then to the central and northern regions of the country, and, on February 16, to eastern Kazakhstan," Kazhydromet informs.

The Manitoba Moose (12-15-0-0) rematched with the Texas Stars (18-7-2-1) on Sunday afternoon at Canada Life Centre. Manitoba was coming off a 6-2 defeat against Texas on Friday evening.
Texas opened the scoring with 3:48 left in the first period. With the Stars on the power play, Curtis McKenzie grabbed he puck near the crease and sent it to the slot. Kyle McDonald was waiting and snapped the quick shot past Oskari Salminen. Manitoba tied the contest 1:15 later on the power play. Kyle Capobianco sent a pass from the point to Brad Lambert. The pivot fired a hard one-timer from the near dot past a partially screened Remi Poirier. The period ended a few minutes later with the Moose tied 1-1. Texas led the shot count 10-9 after 20 minutes of play.
Neither side was able to pull ahead in the middle stanza. The Moose were granted the only full power play chance of the period. C.J. Suess led the way with four shots after 40 minutes of play for the Moose, while the Stars countered with four of their own from Mavrik Bourque. Manitoba outshot Texas 10-9 in the period and carried a 1-1 tie into the third interval.
The Moose edged ahead at the 11:43 mark of the third frame. Jeff Malott found Ashton Sautner, who wired a gorgeous shot past Poirier. Texas evened up the score with under two minutes to go on their second power play of the final five minutes. Logan Stankoven freed himself from traffic and beat Salminen with a quick snap of the wrist. The Stars took a 3-2 lead 37 seconds later, as Alex Petrovic capitalized on a rebound after a pair of Salminen saves in the crease. The Moose pushed for the late equalizer and pulled Salminen in favour of the extra attacker, but the Stars held tight for the win. Salminen was hit with the loss and ended with 27 stops, while Poirier captured the road victory and made 27 stops of his own.
Quotable
Moose Forward Danny Zhilkin (Click for full interview)

Jeff Malott has tallied six points (1G, 5A) over his past six games
Kyle Capobianco has registered three points (1G, 2A) over his past three contests

BRISBANE, Australia — (AP) — 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.
