The numbers suggest that the majority of Americans hate New Year’s resolutions. Only 37% of people make one at all; 43% of them will quit by the end of January — if they can even make it past January 17, the country’s unofficial “quitters day”; and only 9% of that original group “completes their resolution” (whatever that means).
Why are resolutions so hard to stick to? We think it’s sort of obvious. They’re always too lofty, and too sudden. It’s like trying to unstick a container ship by banging against either shore over and over again. Things take time to turn around.
Time of year matters, as well. Let’s say a friend of yours just spent a week working through a glazed ham. He’s had a lot to drink, too (and might still have a champagne hangover). He’s got a massive month of work ahead — the boss wants to turn a new page this year! — and his kids are back in school. Oh, and the sun has gotten into a habit of setting at 4:30 p.m. Most days the sky is a hazy, Cormac McCarthy sort of grey.
Would you tell this fellow he better join a gym and lose 20 pounds right now? No, because it would probably piss him off, right? So why would you tell that to yourself?
Instead of attempting one boogeyman-sized fitness resolution that’s doomed to fail, we recommend committing to a variety of smaller, more tangible changes in the larger wellness sphere — the sort of fare that won’t require you to upend your life on a dime, but will pay dividends for the rest of the year (and ideally, years to come).
Find our blueprint below. We’ve drafted five things to stop doing and five things to start doing: 10 resolutions in total, if you even want to call them that. We prefer to think of them as little lifestyle adjustments, or even “joys,” as it simply feels good to banish or add these to your life. Some are challenging — though none disarmingly so — and in due time, they’ll all offer you a sense of control or comfort, or hopefully both.
The Leap of Faith That Could Whip You Into Shape
Workout classes change lives. We spoke to a panel of devotees.What to Stop Doing
“Phubbing”
A stupid nickname for a not-so-nice act. Phubbing refers to “phone snubbing,” or ignoring a person who’s talking to you in favor of staring at you phone.
This habit takes a brutal toll on relationships. Phubbed significant others tend to report less satisfaction in their marriage, while phubbed children tend to become phubbers. (Phubbed people phub people!) Kids who can’t tear their parents’ attention away from phones grow up with a communication gap: they have trouble maintaining eye contact, reading facial expressions and paying attention.
This is one of those “We all know what it feels like, yet we’ve all done it anyway” conundrums, which makes a great candidate for the Golden Rule. Going into this year, commit to putting your phone down or away when someone’s talking to you — and especially if they’re opening up to you. Hopefully they treat you as you deserve, in kind. But it’s the right thing to do, regardless.
Avoiding the Doctor
This one is particularly relevant for the middle-aged men out there, who are more likely to dodge doctor’s appointments than women. Only 43% of men between the ages of 35 and 54 report seeing their doctors for annual physicals.
Meanwhile, even a quarter those who do go, according to a Cleveland Clinic survey, admitted that they customarily withhold information from their doctors, or have lied to them for years, in fear of hearing a dreaded diagnosis. We previously broke down the psychological phenomenon that’s underpinning the trend (it’s called “superhero syndrome”), but long story short, the more men avoid the doctor, the more the life expectancy gap between men and women seems to grow.
What can you do? Get some appointments on the calendar. Not just with your physician, but with your dermatologist, dentist, eye doctor and gastroenterologist (if you’re over the age of 40). This should take one hour of admin, tops, at the beginning of the year. From there, all you have to do is show up and listen.
“Rotting” in Bed
Another practice with a buzzy name, though “bed rotting” feels old and familiar, in its exhausting, Dostoyevskian way.
It more or less involves staying in bed for hours after you wake up — doomscrolling the news or social media, letting your thoughts tornado through embarrassing memories or perceived slights or anxious events on the horizon. According to doctors, the practice can exacerbate depressive symptoms.
While there’s nothing wrong with lying around and doing nothing (lazy days encourage boredom, a truly underrated state of being), staying in bed for the wrong reasons means stewing in whatever’s bothering you. This is a perfect time to practice “opposite” action, a practice preached in dialectical behavioral therapy, which involves consciously acting against the urge of negative emotions. So, get up. You don’t have to run 10 miles, but you could go for a walk, or cook an egg, or take a long shower. Whatever it takes to keep moving forward.
Drunk Shopping
Either you have no clue what this is, or you’re intimately aware, and you gulped when you saw those words. About one in five Americans shops under the influence, fueling a bizarre, $14 billion industry.
This is why we favor these smaller/zanier resolutions — you can chip away at a larger issue (like your drinking, perhaps) by working to eliminate one of its unwelcome side effects in a mindful way. That’s different than starting the year and boldly declaring you’re sober forever, or for the next 30 days, a challenge that carries its own question marks.
Drunk buyers’ product of choice is food, unsurprisingly, but shoes and clothes came in a close second. Either can be a substantial purchase. And there’s a difference between buying a T-shirt after two hours at a new brewery you really liked, or ordering a bunch of stuff from Nike just because you’ve tied one on. Ultimately, this feels like an unforced error that you can outright cut, or at least very closely monitor in the new year.
Eating Past 9 p.m.
Don’t take that time quite so literally — I’m just using it as a semi-accurate stand-in, considering the average American apparently goes to bed at 11:21 p.m.
According to the “10-3-2-1” sleep formula (which is attributable to Peter Tierney, a researcher at Lululemon), we should all cut off our caffeine intake 10 hours before bed, our eating three hours before bed, our work two hours before bed and our screen use one hour before bed. All are important, so why are we zeroing in on the eating component?
Well, late meals and midnight snacks can do some serious damage; they disrupt our circadian rhythms, making it harder to sleep and more difficult to digest food properly. (Because insulin sensitivity is lower at night, whatever you’re noshing on is more likely to be stored as fat. There’s nowhere constructive for the energy to go. Learn more about how the practice sabotages appetite hormones here.) Do what you can to protect that three-hours-before cutoff; it doesn’t mean you can’t have dessert…just eat it at 8:00 p.m. Doable?
100 Ways to Live to 100: The Longevity Fitness Guide
Coastal living, board games, not eating hot dogs. It’s all in here.What to Start Doing
Going for One Walk a Day
One of my favorite wellness facts: the Japanese lead the world in longevity, but lag seriously behind in gym memberships.
The Japanese diet plays a huge role in the country’s robust life expectancy (which is up to an absurd 84.62 years, by the way), emphasizing fish, plant-based foods, minimal sugar intake and portion control. But the other part of the equation is the culture’s constant walking — to the grocery store, to the train, to the park. The average Japanese person walks 6,500 steps a day, yet is also likely to say they “barely exercise.”
If there is anything close to a secret silver bullet in the world of wellness, it’s getting outside and walking every single day. If you’re privileged enough to have your mobility, this is the one thing you need to make sacred in your day. Walk over lunch, walk with your dog, walk while calling friends, walk while listening to a podcast, whatever. Make it so that your daily walk gets to a point where, like the Japanese, it doesn’t feel like exercise, and you can’t imagine your day without it.
Reading Before Bed
An analysis published in 2013, brought forth by the New School for Social Research, found that reading literary fiction improves one’s “theory of mind.” But what does that mean?
It’s a psychological concept with close ties to our understanding of empathy; the theory of mind refers to one’s ability and tendency to understand that other people are different, to give them credit for their unique mental states. (You have different wants, dreams, desires, influences and intentions than I do.) The researchers found that when subjects read classics by Chekhov or Dickens, or celebrated modern texts by Téa Obreht or Don DeLillo, they had a tangible “social experience.” How’s that for a finale to your nighttime routine this year? One final charge from the empathy cavalry.
In the bedroom, replace your phone with a book and try to read a chapter each night. If you’re getting tired, great. Turn the lights off. Instead of lying there thinking about the people who’ve wronged you, or the weight of a presentation you’ll have to give next week, your mind will still be fluttering over the fake problems of fictional characters. Their situations might not be real, but the impact that this process will have on your brain, the altered consciousness it ushers in, and the improvements in your sleep will be as real as it gets.
Cooking Dinner
One of my favorite “old world” things to do is visit the fishmonger. I like ordering a pound of whatever, watching him slice it, seeing how close he gets, grinning and saying “That works!” when it weighs in at 0.97 or 1.03 pounds.
Maybe that’s sad — maybe it’s a reflection of how disconnected I am on a regular basis from food preparation and production, that this process gives me a thrill. But I have urbanite friends who feel a similar way about picking up their favorite sourdough bread, or making their grandma’s gravy after selecting tomatoes from a Saturday morning market. I consider this process something to be celebrated — and something to be eagerly pursued, by all of us. It’s the spiritual antonym to ordering an oozy pad thai delivery (and paying $31 after taxes, fee and tip).
This resolution is nebulous on purpose: just try to cook a lot of dinners this year. Who cares how it goes, or how they taste at first? You’ll get better. Whatever errands this requires of you, whatever struggles or joys those errands include, whatever extra effort is required to prep and clean, whatever focus is needed to not screw the whole thing up — I’m telling you, whether you believe it or not, this is wellness. This is wellness as much as push-ups are wellness. Cooking necessitates presence of mind, it offers a well-earned reward (or a well-fought lesson), it creates human interactions, it constitutes an act of service. Take part in it.
Seeing One Show a Month
It’s sneaky easy to stop showing up to shows, especially if you’re getting older, or busier, or have dependents to think about.
But if you start missing your favorite band when they’re in town — “It’s been a long week” — what are the chances of you taking a flyer on something that isn’t necessarily in your wheelhouse? Pretty low, and that’s a shame. Attending concerts, plays and art exhibits is one of the greatest ways to increase our neuroplasticity — a term which more or less refers to the rewiring your brain experiences upon processing something different or interesting. It’s critical for maintaining a “young,” dementia-resistant brain.
Not that the whole point of seeing art is to optimize your neurotransmitters. Cultural events are the perfect arena for gathering with people, having new kinds of conversations, and feeling challenged and confused. They’re also a spontaneous way to add a memory to a day, when things are feeling too piled-up or familiar. (I’m remembering a few “experiences” I had this year that seemed to arrive at such moments, like scouting Daniel Lind-Ramos‘s scavenged sculptures at MoMA PS1, catching the delightful Shucked on Broadway, and watching a 20th-anniversary screening of Park Chan-wook’s disturbing Oldboy in the East Village. Films count, of course!) Also, I’m proud to say, I did show up when my favorite “band” was in town. Thank you, Matt Corby.
Give People Compliments
We’re wired for negativity. It’s one of our many outdated quirks as a species — sort of like sitting at a desk, feet tapping against the floor, fretting over an email as if being chased by lion.
This negativity (or tendency towards thinking we’re in extreme danger) impacts the way we perceive, judge and treat those around us, according to Michelle Rozen, Ph.D., who gave a fascinating interview on this topic to Fast Company a year back. She said at the time, “In modern times our mind is still wired to focus on the negative…[but if you compliment someone], that’s a very addictive feeling. They’ll want to know, ‘How can I work with that person?’” The more you fight back against those evolutionary instincts, and go out of your way to make someone feel good about something they’ve done, the more those people will open themselves back up to you.
Your compliment habit will have a massive impact. For one, studies indicate we undervalue the influence our compliments have on others. It means everything to them. And over time, it will have a tangible, mood-lifting effect on you, too, from just dishing them out. We tend to think that compliments need to be rare, or hyper-specific, in order to warrant being sent off into the world. But that isn’t true. They satisfy others’ need to belong, while unraveling the unhelpful, evolutionary alarm bells in your brain. Give them out like candy, and you’ll be well on your way to a year well-lived.

First cats took over this prison. Then they stole its prisoners’ hearts
By Jack Nicas
Santiago: Some say they were first brought in to take out the rats. Others contend they wandered in on their own.
What everyone can agree on – including those who have lived or worked at Chile’s largest prison the longest – is that the cats were here first.
For decades, they have walked along the prison’s high walls, sunbathed on the metal roof and skittered between cells crowded with 10 men each. To prison officials, they were a peculiarity of sorts, and mostly ignored. The cats kept multiplying into the hundreds.
Then prison officials realised something else. The feline residents were not only good for the rat problem. They were also good for the prisoners.
“They’re our companions,” said Carlos Nunez, a balding prisoner showing off a two-year-old tabby he named Feita, or Ugly, from behind prison bars. While caring for multiple cats during his 14-year sentence for home burglary, he said he discovered their special essence, compared with, say, a cellmate or even a dog.
“A cat makes you worry about it, feed it, take care of it, give it special attention,” he said. “When we were outside and free, we never did this. We discovered it in here.”
Known simply as “the Pen,” the 180-year-old main penitentiary in Santiago, Chile’s capital, has long been known as a place where men live in cages and cats roam free. What is now more clearly understood is the positive effect of the prison’s roughly 300 cats on the 5600 human residents.
The felines’ presence “has changed the inmates’ mood, has regulated their behaviour and has strengthened their sense of responsibility with their duties, especially caring for animals,” said the prison’s warden, Colonel Helen Leal González, who has two cats of her own at home, Reina and Dante, and a collection of cat figurines on her desk.
“Prisons are hostile places,” she added in her office, wearing a tight bun, truncheon and combat boots. “So of course, when you see there’s an animal giving affection and generating these positive feelings, it logically causes a change in behaviour, a change in mindset.”
Prisoners informally adopt the cats, work together to care for them, share their food and beds and, in some cases, have built them little houses. In return, the cats provide something invaluable in a lock-up notorious for overcrowding and squalid conditions: love, affection and acceptance.
“Sometimes you’ll be depressed and it’s like she senses that you’re a bit down,” said Reinaldo Rodriguez, 48, who is scheduled to be imprisoned until 2031 on a firearms conviction. “She comes and glues herself to you. She’ll touch her face to yours.”
The pairing of convicted criminals and animals is hardly new. During World War II, German prisoners of war in New Hampshire adopted wildlife as pets, including, according to one account, a bear cub.
Formal programs to connect prisoners and animals became more common in the late 1970s, and after consistently positive results, they have expanded worldwide, including to Japan, the Netherlands and Brazil.
They have become particularly popular in the United States. In Arizona, prisoners train wild horses to patrol the US border with Mexico. In Minnesota and Michigan, prisoners train dogs for the blind and deaf. And in Massachusetts, prisoners help care for wounded or sick wildlife, including hawks, coyotes and raccoons.
“You dedicate yourself to the cat. You tend to it, keep an eye on it, give it love.”
Denys Carmona Rojas, prisoner
Connecting prisoners and dogs has repeatedly been shown to lead to “a decrease in recidivism, improved empathy, improved social skills and a safer and more positive relationship between inmates and prison officials,” said Beatriz Villafaina-Dominguez, a researcher in Spain who reviewed 20 separate studies of such programs.
Dogs have been the most common animal used by prisons, followed by horses, and in most programs, animals are brought to the prisoners, or vice versa. In Chile, however, the prisoners developed an organic connection to the stray cats who live alongside them.
Yet there was a time when the relationship was not so positive. A decade ago, the cat population was expanding uncontrolled and many cats were getting sick, including developing a contagious infection that left some cats blind. The situation “even stressed out the inmates themselves,” said Carla Contreras Sandoval, a prison social worker with two cat tattoos.
So in 2016, prison officials finally allowed volunteers to come care for the cats. A Chilean organisation called the Felinnos Foundation has since worked with Humane Society International to systematically collect all of the cats to treat, spay and neuter them. They have now reached nearly every one.
The program’s success has been partly thanks to the prisoners, Sandoval said. The prisoners collect cats that need care and bring them to the volunteers.
On a recent day, four women lugged cat carriers onto the prison grounds, on the hunt for a number of felines, including Lucky, Aquila, Dropon and her six new kittens, and Nunez’s cat, Ugly.
The courtyard was chaotic, packed for a prisoner soccer match, but prisoners politely made way for the women.
Quickly, men cradling cats in tattooed arms came bounding down stairs along the courtyard, handing animals through prison bars to the volunteers. In one stop, Denys Carmona Rojas, 57, a prisoner serving eight years on gun charges, doted on a litter of kittens in a box. He said he had helped raise many kittens in his cell, recounting one case in which he fed special milk to a litter after the mother died during birth.
“You dedicate yourself to the cat. You tend to it, keep an eye on it, give it love,” he said, smiling to show off missing front teeth. “The feeling that comes out of that – there’s nothing bad about it, man.”

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

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.

Les McCann, a jazz titan best known for his performance with musical partner Eddie Harris of the protest song "Compared to What," has died at age 88, his manager said Sunday.
Cause and manner of death were unavailable, but manager Alan Abrahams said the piano player and singer died Friday at a Los Angeles-area hospital after developing pneumonia roughly one week ago.
McCann was an architect of the soul-jazz sound, helped jazz connect with the counterculture's protest music and provided a wellspring of material for sample-crazed hip-hop stars, including Notorious B.I.G., Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth, Warren G., Slick Rick, Dr. Dre and A Tribe Called Quest.
"He brought something from the Black church to jazz," said Abrahams, a prolific producer of gospel albums.

North Korea's Kim orders military to 'thoroughly annihilate' US, South Korea if provoked
They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland US and other major new weapons.In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Koreas expanding nuclear arsenal.
- Country:
- South Korea
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 defences to cope with what he called an unprecedented US-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the US presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest US 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 US.
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 US 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.
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 US 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 US rejected Kim's limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in US-led sanctions. 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.

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.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points and six assists and the Oklahoma City Thunder won their fourth straight game, beating the Brooklyn Nets 124-108 on Sunday night.
Josh Giddey had 20 points, six rebounds and five assists, and rookie Chet Holmgren added 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots for Oklahoma City, which improved to 22-9, good for second place in the Western Conference.
The Thunder have hosted a New Year’s Eve game every year since the franchise moved to town and have a 12-4 record in those games. Brooklyn is 2-8 all-time on New Year’s Eve.
Holmgren and Jalen Williams, who scored 17 points, scored all of the Thunder’s points in a 16-8 run that extended Oklahoma City’s lead from seven points to 102-87 with 8:49 left. Brooklyn got no closer than 12 points the rest of the way and Oklahoma City eventually led by as many as 21 points.
Mikal Bridges had 22 points – 15 in the first quarter – to go with seven rebounds and seven assists for Brooklyn, which has lost three straight games. Cam Thomas had 20 points and Nic Claxton had 15 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. The Nets, who have lost four straight games against Oklahoma City, are 1-16 this season when allowing an opponent 120 or more points.
Oklahoma City shot 54.2% from the field (45 of 83), while Brooklyn shot just 38% (38 of 100).
Brooklyn made its first five shots (three of them 3-pointers) and built a 10-point first-quarter lead at 18-8, but the Thunder shot 54.6% in the half and eventually led 59-56 at halftime.
The Nets were within 67-65 before Giddey fueled an 11-2 spurt by Oklahoma City, making two baskets before feeding Gilgeous-Alexander on a fast-break layup that made it 78-67 with 5:37 left in the third quarter. That caused Brooklyn coach Jacque Vaughn to call his second timeout in a 99-second span.
A 3-pointer by Holmgren in the final seconds of the quarter put Oklahoma City ahead 89-79 and started the Thunder’s game-clinching run.

After their 23-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night in Week 17, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got some clarity on their traveling plans for next weekend.
The NFL announced the dates and times for all 16 games on its Week 18 slate, including the Buccaneers road game at the Carolina Panthers. The Bucs and Panthers will meet on Sunday, January 7, with kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. The game will be broadcast by FOX.
Tampa Bay will be going for a season sweep after defeating the Panthers, 21-18, at Raymond James Stadium in Week 13. More importantly, if they win the game the Buccaneers will be NFC South champs for the third year in a row and will have a home game to start the playoffs.
The NFL revealed its full 2023 schedule in May but, for the second year in a row, left all dates and times unspecified in Week 18 in order to end up with the most compelling schedule for the final week of the regular season. The schedule will include two games on Saturday, likely with at least some playoff implications. The other 14 contests will be on Sunday, with the league commonly putting two games that affect each other in the playoff races in the same time slot. | https://www.buccaneers.com/news/bucs-panthers-2023-2024-season-week-18-date-time | 2024-01-01T04:34:56Z |

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

Swift paired her jacket with black pants worn over matching stiletto boots at the game, which the Chiefs won 25-17.
This marked the ninth time the 34-year-old has been seen at Kelce's games since the two began dating over the summer. She has so far showcased a variety of stylish outfits incorporating various pieces of Chiefs apparel during her outings.
Entertainment News
The Grammy winner had previously attended the Chiefs' Dec. 25 game and made that event a full family affair, bringing along for the first time both of her parents at the same time—with her mom Andrea Swift making her debut—as well as her brother Austin Swift. Taylor Swift's mom and her dad Scott Swift were spotted chatting with Travis Kelce's dad Ed Kelce at the event.
Both Taylor Swift's dad and brother have accompanied her to Chiefs games before. Travis Kelce, 34, recently revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce's podcast "New Heights" that Austin Swift gave him a holiday gift while dressed as Santa during the Christmas Day game.
"He made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag—in the Santa sack," the Chiefs tight end said. "And handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time: Little Giants."
Meanwhile, the power couple's romance has received a stamp of approval from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.
"We're so happy," she said, "and excited for them." | https://www.nbcchicago.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/taylor-swift-matches-travis-kelces-jacket-at-chiefs-nye-game/3314856/ | 2024-01-01T04:34:57Z |

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' last day of 2023 was not one of their best. Fortunately, some more opportunities await in the new year.
The New Orleans Saints avenged a Week Four loss to the Buccaneers in the Superdome, winning 23-13 at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. The Saints won the turnover battle, 4-0, and kept Tampa Bay's previously red hot offense off kilter for three quarters before denying a late rally.
"The coaches have got to come up with a better game plan on both sides of the ball and the players have got to play it better," said Head Coach Todd Bowles. "We were off kilter from the start. They did a good job manufacturing a [game-opening] drive down the field and keeping us off balance. They did a good job getting turnovers. They did what they were supposed to do, came in here and did it, and we didn't."
The loss snapped the Buccaneers' four-game winning streak and dropped their overall record to 8-8. The result, at best, delayed Tampa Bay's attempts to clinch a third-straight NFC South crown – they can still do so with a Week 18 win at Carolina – and it kept the 8-8 Saints alive in the division title hunt. The Saints play the Atlanta Falcons at home next weekend and can claim the division with a win and a Bucs loss to the Panthers.
"This was a division game," said T Tristan Wirfs. "This was for a third straight division title. We came out looking like that – that's unacceptable. We've got to do something different. Next week's for all the marbles. There's no next week [after that] for a title. So we have to put it behind us and move forward, look forward to next week and do the best we can to come home with a hat and t-shirt.
"And it's all 22 of us – all 11 guys on offense, all 11 guys on defense. There's nobody to point the finger out. We've all got to do better."
Baker Mayfield threw for 309 yards on 22 of 33 passing, but 180 of it came in the fourth quarter, as did 220 of the Bucs' net yards overall. Mayfield threw touchdown passes of 22 yards to Trey Palmer and 47 yards to Chris Godwin to give him a career-high 28 on the season, but was also intercepted twice. His game had an uncomfortable ending, too, as he took a hard hit on a two-point conversion attempt in the final minutes that clearly had him in significant pain. After the game, he said his ribs were very sore but the initial round of X-rays had come back negative.
"They hit us in the mouth from the get-go," said Mayfield. "Not exactly the mentality we wanted to come out. We want to be the more physical team and we weren't today."
The Buccaneers only had two drives cross midfield in the first three quarters, and both ended on turnovers. Mayfield was intercepted by CB Alontae Taylor at the Saints' two-yard line in the second quarter and LB Demario Davis recovered a Rachaad White fumble at the Saints' 25 in the third quarter. The Bucs neared midfield early in the fourth quarter but S Jonathan Abram intercepted a tipped pass at across the 50-yard line. Later in the final period, rookie WR Trey Palmer got down to the Saints' 21 but fumbled at the end of a 54-yard reception, with the Saints recovering. Tampa Bay came into the game tied for first in the NFL with a plus-10 turnover ratio but had their first four-turnover game of the season. Tampa Bay's defense did not create a takeaway.
The Bucs also saw their recent positive trends on third downs both offensively and defensively turn back in the other direction. Tampa Bay's offense converted on just two of eight third down tries, while the Saints were able to convert eight of 18, with seven of their unsuccessful attempts coming in the fourth quarter against a defense loaded up against the run. New Orleans quarterback Derek Carr completed 24 of 32 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns and the Bucs' defense did not register a single hit on him in the game, as he was run out of bounds on the only sack he took. The last time the Buccaneers' defense went an entire game without a quarterback hit was in 2017.
"They had us stopped because the ball was coming out pretty quick," said Bowles. "He wasn't holding the ball long enough for us to get the pass rush, so we tried to cover. I didn't think in the first half we tackled well when the ball wasdumped down there. We cleaned it up some in the second half."
Even some of the Bucs' most consistent performers had uneven performances. Punter Jake Camarda, who came into the game ranked fifth in the NFL with a 50.3-yard gross average, had several first-half punts come off his foot badly and finished with an average of 41.4 yards per boot. Mayfield had difficulty getting the ball to TE Cade Otton, who caught just two of his six targets for 10 yards. RB Rachaad White totaled 66 yards from scrimmage, his lowest total since Week 11, and was held out of the end zone for just the second time in the last nine games.
Lavonte David led the Bucs' defense with 11 tackles and rookie OLB Yaya Diaby added two more tackles for loss to give him 11 on the season. Rooke OLB Markees Watts registered the Bucs' only sack of the game. The Bucs had difficulty slowing down the Saints' tight ends, as Juwan Johnson set season highs with eight catches and 90 yards, plus the game's first touchdown on the opening drive, and Taysom Hill caught a 22-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.
"It was very disappointing," said David. "We knew what was at stake. We came out very flat on both sides of the ball. We've definitely got to learn from it, get better and do better next week. Luckily we've got another opportunity next week."
The Saints thoroughly dominated the first half, taking a 17-0 lead into the intermission, with a yardage advantage of 202-44. Tampa Bay's defense couldn't get off the field, as the Saints converted six of nine third down tries, and the Bucs' offense couldn't get into the type of groove it had enjoyed during a four-game winning streak, converting just one of four third-down tries. The Bucs had three first downs at halftime, two of them courtesy of third-down penalties against the Saints. It marked the first time this season that the Buccaneers have been shut out in the first half.
The Saints got the ball first, starting at their own 27, with Carr completing a four-yard pass to Johnson after being flushed out to the right. A designed screen right to Johnson followed, picking up 11 yards and a first down. After a pass breakup by CB Zyon McCollum, RB Alvin Kamara made it around right end for 13 yards to the Bucs' 45. White shot a gap to drop RB Jamaal Williams for a loss of two, Carr got four back with a short out to WR Rashid Shaheed. On third-and-seven, the Bucs blitzed from the left but the protection held and Carr threw right to Olave for a first down at the Bucs' 31. Two Williams runs moved the chains again and a rollout pass to Hill put the ball at the 12. Kamara went over right tackle to earn a first-and-goal at the nine, and he got it again on the next play to blast down to the three. He lost a yard on second down but a quick slant to Johnson got the ball into the end zone for the game's first score.
The Bucs' first possession came after a touchback and started with White's five-yard run over right guard. A pass over the middle to Otton made it third-and-one but White's attempt to get the last yard failed as he was dropped for a loss of one going to the left. The Bucs had to punt and Shaheed's 16-yard return of a 51-yard punt set the Saints up at their own 32.
One run and one catch by Kamara made it third-and-two, but the Bucs sniffed out a tunnel screen to Olave and LB Lavonte David dropped him a yard short of the line to gain. New Orleans sent out its punt team and Lou Hedley angled a bouncing kick out of bounds at the Bucs' 11. The Bucs' offense quickly fell into a third-and-nine and Mayfield was sacked on the next play. However a facemask personal foul on DT Bryan Bresee revived the drive and made it first-and-10 at the 27. However, it was third-and-nine again moments later. This time, Mayfield had time to throw and he fired down the right numbers to Evans for a 33-yard gain on the final play of the first quarter.
The Bucs started the second quarter at the Saints' 39 but backed up to the 42 two plays later on an ineligible man downfield penalty when Mayfield threw after a long scramble. Two plays later, on third-and-15 after a false start, WR David Moore couldn't hold on to a hard pass at the sticks but the Bucs were once again rescued by a penalty, this time illegal contact on CB Paulson Adebo. Again owning a first down at the Saints' 39, the Bucs got three yards on a White run by then turned it over when Mayfield threw deep to WR Trey Palmer and it was intercepted by a leaping Taylor at the two-yard line.
The Bucs swarmed over two runs to make it third-and-eight, but Carr threw down the right hashes to Johnson, who made a fingertip grab for a first down at the 36. Kamara's next run produced another first down as he pushed through defenders to get 10, and a run over right end put the ball one yard into Bucs territory. A hustle play by OLB Yaya Diaby on a swing pass to Williams resulted in a loss of three, and good coverage on third down allowed OLB Markees Watts to chase Carr out of bounds for a six-yard sack.
The Bucs got the ball back at their own 19 but went backwards three yards on a three-and-out thanks to two short Chase Edmonds runs, a false start and a dropped pass by Edmonds that would have come up well short even if caught. The ensuing punt came off the side of Camarda's and rolled to a stop at the Saints' 40.
New Orleans immediately got into the Bucs' half of the field with an outlet pass to Johnson that he turned into a 12-yard gain up the right sideline. Two plays later, a Buccaneers blitz disrupted Carr's attempt to get the ball to WR A.T. Perry, making it third-and-seven. Carr had time to throw on the next snap and found TE Foster Moreau for a first down at the Bucs' 32. Stops by DL Calijah Kancey and Zyon McCollum only allowed Kamara to get three yards on his next two carries, and the Saints called a timeout before their third-and-seven attempt. Carr succeeded again, once again by throwing to Johnson, who just got over the line to make it first down at the 22. After the two-minute warning, Carr threw a floater over a blitz to that Hill caught with a leap at the left front pylon.
With 1:53 left, the Bucs started a new possession at their 25 but it didn't last long. Mayfield's first pass was broken up by a diving Adebo and his second one was out of WR Chris Godwin's reach on the left sideline. Mayfield tried to scramble on third-and-10 but ran into the clutches of LB Zach Baun for a seven-yard sack. New Orleans called a timeout with 1:39 left in the half before Camarda's punt. Stunningly, Camarda hit another bad one, with the ball rolling out of bounds at the Bucs' 46.
WR Lynn Bowden eluded several tacklers on a quick screen right to get six yards and Carr threw incomplete on third down. The Bucs blitzed again but Carr got off a sideline pass to Shaheed that made it first down at the Bucs' 31 with 52 seconds left in the half. A quick pass to Kamara didn't gain any yards but did stop the clock at the 46-second mark. Two plays later, on third-and-six, Carr threw in Johnson's direction again but the tight end couldn't hang on. K Blake Grupe came on to nail a 45-yard field goal to make it 17-0 at the half.
The Bucs got the ball to start the second half and came out firing, with Mayfield throwing down the right seam in Cade Otton's direction. Unfortunately, the pass was out of his reach. Two plays later, on third-and-six, Mayfield threw to Evans on a crossing route but Evans couldn't locate the ball and it landed incomplete. Another short punt by Camarda went out of bounds at the New Orleans 34.
The Bucs' defense got a three-and-out thanks to a swarming group of tackles. McCollum and Kancey had hard hits on Williams to make it third-and-nine and White dropped FB Adam Prentice five yards short on a reception, leading to a punt.
The Bucs started fresh at their own 22 but immediately put the drive in a hole with a Luke Goedeke holding call. White got seven of it back with a short catch-and-run, then took a handoff over left guard for four more. A nifty scramble by Mayfield on third down gave him a chance to get off a low throw to Palmer, who caught it just past the first-down marker. White dashed over left tackle for a quick six yards to the Bucs' 39, and Edmonds found the left edge on the next snap for 10 more. Another run by Edmonds picked up another eight, but disaster struck on the next play. White actually got free around right end for an 18-yard gain but he lost control of the ball just before going out of bounds and Davis recovered it inbounds. Davis was able to fight his way up the sideline for a 21-yard return to the New Orleans 45.
Carr started the ensuing possession by hitting Olave on a crosser for 14 yards. Two plays later, the Saints had a perfect screen call over a blitz and Williams got 12 yards. Fifteen more were tacked on thanks to a horse collar flag on Anthony Nelson and that the ball at the Bucs' 14. Tampa Bay's defense held there, with DL Vita Vea stopping Williams at the 10 on third down. Grupe came on to tack on three with a 28-yard field goal to make it 20-0 with 4:25 left in the third quarter.
After a touchback, the Bucs got a first down on Godwin's 18-yard catch over the middle on second down. Mayfield once again got away from what looked like a sure sack to get the ball out to White for a gain of seven. However, pressure came right up the middle on the next play and Bresee dropped him for a 10-yard sack. Mayfield had to settle for a checkdown to White on third-and-long and it was nine yards short of the line to gain. Camarda's punt and an 11-yard return by Shaheed put the Saints at their 19.
Two Williams runs up the middle made it third-and-five and closed out the third quarter. After the teams switched sides, Carr kept the drive moving with an eight-yard sideline strike to Johnson. Content to drain the clock, the Saints ran Williams two more times and got four yards. Carr tried to get it to Johnson on the sideline again but this one was well covered and incomplete. Hedley's punt went out of bounds at the Bucs' 29.
Mayfield threw short passes to Edmonds and Otton for a first down at the 35, and two plays later Edmonds caught a quick pass on a crossing route and got another set of downs at the 45. However, his next throw was tipped at the line by DE Tanoh Kpassagnon and then intercepted at the Saints' by Abram.
Dean broke up an attempted quick pass to Shaheed and DL Will Gholston wrapped up Hill on a QB keeper to make it third-and-eight. Carr threw over the middle towards Johnson but White dived to break it up. Hedley's punt went out of bounds at the Bucs' nine with 10:30 left.
Mayfield threw over the top to Evans on a corner route to get a quick 35 yards, and two plays later Edmonds made a good cut on a screen right to get all the way to the Saints' 42. Another tipped ball at the line fell incomplete and the Bucs soon found themselves in a third-and-12. Mayfield got half of it over the middle to White, then converted the fourth-and-six by hitting Godwin for 18. Mayfield then completed the drive with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Palmer.
Shaheed got the ensuing kickoff out to the Saints' 37 and New Orleans got back into Tampa Bayr territory with a 12-yard Johnson catch and a 17-yard Williams run. Three plays later, it was third-and-seven at the Bucs' 31 and the Saints ran a fullback draw with Prentice to get the yardage needed as the clock ran below five minutes. Three runs killed another minute and two Bucs timeouts, making it fourth-and-inches at the 15. The Saints sent out Grupe for a third field goal, which he made from 38 yards out after a false start.
Needing to score fast, Mayfield hit Palmer on a deep fly but the receiver stumbled making the catch and lost the ball when he hit the ground at the Saints' 21. Since he hadn't been touched, it was a fumble and the Saints recovered at their 13. Three runs ran the clock down almost to the two-minute warning and led to a punt.
The Bucs had 1:52 left when they got the ball back at their own 46 and they only needed 15 seconds to score again. After a seven-yard pass to Edmonds, Mayfield loaded up again, throwing deep to Godwin on a corner route. Godwin caugt the pass in stride, turned upfield and made it all the way to the end zone for a 47-yard score. The Buccaneers went for two to try to make it an eight-point game, and appeared to succeed on Mayfield's scrambling throw to Godwin. However, replay review of the played showed Godwin not getting a second foot inbounds. The Bucs got another crack at it thanks to a roughing the passer call on S Tyrann Mathieu, which was the play on which Mayfield hurt his ribs. He came back onto the field for the second try but his pass in Evans' direction was grabbed by Adebo instead.
The Bucs tried an onside kick but failed and Carr kneeled three times to drain the clock. | https://www.buccaneers.com/news/bucs-saints-week-17-recap-postgame-report | 2024-01-01T04:35:02Z |

Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
The New Year’s weekend box office this year lacked a true blockbuster. (This time last year, “Avatar: The Way of Water” was inundating theaters.) Instead, a wide array of films – among them “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” “The Boys in the Boat,” “Migration,” “Ferrari,” “The Iron Claw” and “Anyone But You” – sought to break out over the year’s most lucrative box-office corridor.
The top choice, though, remained “Wonka,” Paul King’s musical starring Timothée Chalamet as a young Willy Wonka. In its third weekend, the Warner Bros. release collected an estimated $24 million Friday through Sunday and $31.8 million factoring in estimates for the Monday holiday. That brings the film’s domestical total to $142.5 million.
That bested Warner Bros.’ own “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” which, like previous DC superhero films, is struggling. James Wan’s “Aquaman” sequel starring Jason Momoa took in $19.5 million in its second weekend to bring its two-week haul to a modest $84.7 million including New Year’s Day estimates.
Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know. Sign up for the weekly Chicago Catch-Up newsletter here.
The original “Aquaman,” which ultimately surpassed $1.1 billion worldwide, had grossed $215.4 million over a similar period in 2018 – more than double that of the sequel. Internationally, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” added $50.5 million.
Weekend sales only tell part of the story this time of year. From Christmas through New Year’s, when kids are out of school and many adults aren’t working, every day is like Saturday to film distributors.
“The Color Purple,” Blitz Bazawule's adaptation of the 2005 stage musical from Alice Walker's novel, debuted on Monday and led all movies on Christmas with $18 million. Through the week, the Warner Bros. release has grossed $50 million, including $13 million Friday through Sunday. That’s a strong start for the crowd-pleaser starring Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson and Danielle Brooks. Audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore.
Entertainment News
The roughly $100 million production, which boasts Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones (all from the 1985 film) as producers, should play well through awards season. It's nominated for several Golden Globes and expected to be in the Oscar mix.
“We saw this opportunity to go wide at Christmas since there were so few movies and we were confident the movie would be well received,” said Jeffrey Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. “Going into the competitive landscape that's so thin in January and February, the excitement of awards season could really help ignite a bigger box office.”
Despite a blockbuster-less holiday frame, the last weekend of the year pushed the industry past $9 billion in box office for the year in U.S. and Canadian theaters for the first time since before the pandemic. Ticket sales on the year were up 21% from 2022, according to data firm Comscore.
Still, it was a mark that seemed more easily within reach during the summer highs of Barbenheimer when both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were breaking box-office records.
The enormous success of those two films changed the trajectory of Hollywood’s 2023, but so did the monthslong actors and writers strikes. Those forced the postponement of some top films (most notably “Dune: Part Two” ), diminishing an already patchwork fall lineup with few guaranteed ticket-sellers. One exception was the last-minute addition of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which set a new record for concert films.
This year, Hollywood needed Swift and every penny to reach $9 billion. It crossed that threshold Saturday, with one day to spare. That total, though, still doesn't come close to the $11 billion-plus years that preceded the pandemic. The number of wide releases in 2023 came about 20 films shy of those released in 2019.
The production delays caused by the strikes could have an even greater impact on 2024. Several top releases have already been postponed until at least the following year, including “Mission: Impossible” and “Spider-Verse” sequels. After a rocky year for Marvel and a string of less predictable hits, Hollywood will have to hope it can adapt to changing audience tastes – and that another “Barbie” is lurking somewhere.
"It's an $11 billion business. We're climbing our way back," said Goldstein. “This next year is going to be a big challenge because of the strikes. But we're seeing very clearly in 2023, when there are movies out there that people want to see, they come.”
Meanwhile, a host of releases sought to capitalize over the holidays – and most succeeded.
“This crop of seven wide releases at the end of the year, they got us over the hump of $9 billion,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. “This final push of the year provided great insight into what audiences are looking for. It's movies big and small. It's different types of movies."
Though “Wonka” won out as the family movie choice for the holidays, Universal Pictures’ “Migration” is attracting young audiences, too. The animated movie from “Minions”-maker Illumination notched $17.2 million in 3,839 theaters in its second weekend, and $59.4 million since opening.
“The Boys in the Boat,” the George Clooney-directed sports drama, grossed $24.6 million since opening Dec. 25. The Amazon MGM Studios release, about the U.S. men’s crew in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, wasn’t a smash with critics (58% “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes) but audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore. “The Boys in the Boat,” which cost about $40 million to make, could hold well in coming weeks.
Though romantic comedies have largely migrated to streaming platforms, Sony Pictures' “Anyone But You” is proving the genre can still work in theaters. The film, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, collected $9 million in its second weekend to bring its total to $27.6 million through Monday.
Sean Durkin's wrestling drama “The Iron Claw" is also performing well. The A24 film, starring Zac Efron, Holt McCallany and Jeremy Allen White, has grossed $18 million since opening Dec. 22, including $5 million on the three-day weekend. The film dramatizes the tragic story of the Von Erich family.
Michael Mann's “Ferrari," a project the director sought to make for three decades, took in $10.9 million since launching in theaters on Monday, including $4.1 million for the weekend. While that ranks as one of the biggest debuts for indie distributor Neon, it's nowhere near what a movie that cost close to $100 million to make needs to turn a profit.
The film, starring Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, has been celebrated by critics, but appears likely to follow Mann's previous film, 2015's “Blackhat” ($19.6 million worldwide against a $70 million budget), as a commercial disappointment.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Wonka,” $24 million.
2. “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” $19.5 million.
3. “Migration,” $17.2 million.
4. “The Color Purple,” $13 million.
5. “Anyone But You,” $9 million.
6. “The Boys in the Boat,” $8.3 million.
7. “The Iron Claw,” $5 million.
8. “Ferrari,” $4.1 million.
9. “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” $2.9 million.
10. “The Boy and the Heron,” $2.5 million. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/wonka-no-1-at-box-office-again-as-2023-ends-2-billion-shy-of-pre-pandemic-sales/3314834/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:03Z |

Astana included in IDC rating of smart cities
The scope of Digital Kazakhstan government program includes the task of making Kazakhstan's cities be listed in one of the 5 global ratings of smart cities.
"Our department together with IDC (International Data Corporation) carried out work to survey the sectoral departments of Astana Mayor's Office with regard to economy, transport, environment, safety, and digitalization. According to the results of the above-mentioned work, Astana has been included in IDC's international rating of smart cities," said Alisher Abdykadyrov.
According to the survey, the capital of Kazakhstan reached a maturity level of 2.48 points.
The maturity level of some cities in the world:
Singapore 4.4
New York City 3.7
Dubai 3.6
Barcelona 3.2
Moscow 3.1
"Astana has become one of the first cities in Central Asia to be surveyed based on this model and assessed in terms of the Smart City Maturity," he said.
In addition, having studied the experience of digital technology adoption in Aqkol city, IoT platform is being introduced in Astana.
"The platform is a software system having monitoring and analysis functions, based on which the entire set of services in the field of Smart City and IoT can be carried out. In this respect, we have taken into account the experience of Aqkol," the speaker added.
In the capital, there are also many other projects addressing crucial social and economic issues. These are Open Data, Astana SU, Smart Astana, and E-KSK (a smart tool for monitoring of cooperatives of apartment owners). | https://en.inform.kz/amp/astana-included-in-idc-rating-of-smart-cities_a3492703/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:05Z |
Fleury (undisclosed) did not return to Sunday's game versus the Canadiens after leaving in the second period, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
The Lightning closed out the contest with four blueliners, as Erik Cernak (undisclosed) also left the game in the middle frame. There was no update on Fleury or Cernak after the contest, leaving their status up in the air for Tuesday's game versus the Jets. Sean Day would likely fill in if one of them can't play -- the Lightning may also have to make roster moves to fill out their blue line.

Man, his 3 children end lives by jumping in front of train in Gujarat
- Country:
- India
A 42-year-old man, his two daughters and son allegedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a train in Gujarat's Botad district, an official said.
The incident took place at 6.30 pm on Sunday between Ningala and Alampur stations, Railway Protection Force sub-inspector VS Gole said.
The man, identified as Mangabhai Vijuda, was out on bail after getting arrested on charges of attempt to murder following a fight with a relative, according to police.
''As part of a suicide pact, the four jumped in front of a passenger train on its way from Bhavnagar to Gandhidham. The bodies of the man, his two daughters and son were found along the tracks,'' Gole said.
Besides Vijuda, the others who died were identified as his daughters Sonam (17), Rekha (21) and son Jignesh (19).
They belonged to Nana Sakhpar village in the district's Gadhada taluka, the official said.
The bodies were sent for post-mortem and a probe was on to find out the reason behind the extreme step, he added.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one more chance to extend their season beyond Week 18, with the 2-14 Carolina Panthers standing in the way of a third straight NFC South title. The Buccaneers will head to Charlotte over the weekend to face the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium; the game will be played Sunday, January 7 at 1:00 p.m. on FOX.
The Buccaneers had a chance to clinch the division in Week 17 but dropped a 23-13 decision to the New Orleans Saints, in the process snapping a four-game winning streak that had put them in the driver's seat. Still, the Bucs know that a win over the Panthers in Week 18 will achieve that goal regardless of the outcome of the Saints' season finale against the Falcons. If both the Buccaneers and Saints, who split their season series, win over the weekend to go to 9-8, Tampa Bay will come out on top thanks to a better record against common opponents.
The Panthers absorbed their 14th loss in Week 17, getting blanked 26-0 on the road by the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, that came on the heels of a Week 15 win over Atlanta and a strong performance in a last-second loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Rookie quarterback Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 draft, had perhaps his best game as a pro yet, throwing for 312 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. In Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, Young was sacked six times and threw for just 112 yards with one interception.
The Buccaneers and Panthers met at Raymond James Stadium in Week, with the home team holding off a late Carolina rally to secure a 21-18 victory. A Chuba Hubbard touchdown run and subsequent two-point conversion cut the lead to three points in the fourth quarter and the Panthers had the ball for one more scoring opportunity before safety Antoine Winfield Jr. sealed the win with an interception near midfield. | https://www.buccaneers.com/news/tampa-bay-buccaneers-carolina-panthers-week-18-2023-nfl | 2024-01-01T04:35:08Z |

Johansson stopped 27 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Canadiens.
After blanking Montreal in the first period, Johansson allowed a pair of goals in the second and another in the third but he'd hang on for a one-goal win, his first victory since Nov. 20 in his first start since Dec. 7. Overall, Johansson is 9-6-5 with an .891 save percentage and 3.45 GAA on the season. He's not likely to see more than sporadic playtime going forward while backing up Andrei Vasilevskiy in Tampa.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Former German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger, ex-chairman of the Munich Security Conference, believes that it is time to send long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.
He said this on the X social media platform, Ukrinform reports.
"Why doesn't the West switch from passive to active policy? The message to Putin should be like this: if there are attacks on civilian Ukrainian targets again, then the Taurus, for example, will be delivered the next day. This is your choice," Ischinger wrote after Russia's massive attack on Ukraine.
He considers the West's current strategy in response to Moscow's actions to be bad.
At the same time, the ambassador said that he fully supports diplomatic options, if any.
Many German politicians, including those from the opposition and the ruling coalition, are demanding the transfer of Taurus cruise missiles with a range of 500 kilometers to Ukraine. At the same time, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz still does not support this idea. Berlin constantly emphasizes that the weapons systems it provides to Ukraine cannot be used against targets on Russian territory.

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.

Checkers End 2023 with 5-2 Win in Lehigh Valley
December 31, 2023 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Charlotte Checkers News Release
The Checkers rang in the new year in winning fashion, besting the Phantoms 5-2 to cap off a busy weekend on the road.
For the second night in a row the Checkers hung a three-goal period on their opponent, with that outburst coming in the first tonight. Zac Dalpe redirected a point shot in to open the scoring once again, then Brendan Perlini doubled the lead by forcing a turnover and swooping into the zone with speed before burying a quick shot past the Phantoms netminder. Charlotte's big guns continued to pepper Lehigh Valley in the opening frame, and with just a few ticks remaining Lucas Carlsson unleashed a bomb of a shot on a late power play to send the visitors to the room with a substantial 3-0 lead.
Dalpe's hot streak continued in the second as he potted his second of the night less than two minutes in, but the Phantoms grabbed hold of the momentum from there. A shorthanded strike broke the ice for the home side early on in the frame, then the Phantoms added one more before the next buzzer to cut Charlotte's lead in half with 20 to play.
The Checkers steadied themselves in the third, though, and a strong showing from Spencer Knight kept the Phantoms at bay despite their desperate pushes throughout. Ultimately they were unable to solve Knight, and an empty-net dagger from Mackie Samoskevich wrapped up 2023 with a win for Charlotte.
NOTES
The Checkers have points in eight of their last nine games (5-1-3) ... After scoring five goals in his first 24 games of the season, Dalpe has four in his last two ... He is now one away from tying Zach Boychuk's franchise record for goals (123) ... Prior to this weekend, Dalpe had not scored multiple goals in consecutive games since Nov. 2-4, 2018, with Cleveland ... Carlsson (2g, 2a), Perlini (3g, 1a) and Patrick Giles (3g, 1a) all extended their point streaks to three games. Giles' streak is a career long ... Perlini has goals in three straight and nine points (7g, 2a) in his last eight overall ... Casey Fitzgerald five points, all assists, in his last five games. He had four total points in 25 previous games to start the season ... Uvis Balinskis' assist gave him eight points (1g, 7a) in seven career AHL games ... Mackie Samoskevich (1g, 1a) has recorded five multi-point games in his last nine outings ... Checkers scratches included forwards Ryan McAllister, Cam Morrison, Alexander True and Jake Wise; defensemen Dennis Cesana, Santtu Kinnunen and Will Reilly; and goaltender Mack Guzda.

After lithium-ion batteries burned in a large cargo ship's hold for a number of days, the U.S. Coast Guard said late Saturday that the fire was out and directed the ship to anchor near Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
The 19 crew members of the ship, Genius Star XI, were uninjured and technicians from the Salvage and Marine Firefighting team remain onboard to ensure the fire doesn't return, according to a Coast Guard press release.
“This protected anchorage ... will allow the vessel to remain stable, minimizing risk of any re-flash of the fire as we continue our response," Capt. Chris Culpepper said in the press release, which said an investigation into the fire's origins will begin once response efforts wrap up.
Genius Star XI was shipping lithium-ion batteries from Vietnam to San Diego. The crew alerted the Coast Guard early Thursday morning to the fire, after pumping carbon dioxide into hold No. 1 — where the blaze began — and sealing it, fearing an explosion.

The Coast Guard diverted the 410-foot (125-meter) cargo ship to Dutch Harbor, one of the nation’s busiest fishing ports located in Unalaska, an Aleutian Islands community about 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
Arriving Friday, Genius Star XI was kept 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from shore to mitigate the risks of toxic gases produced by the fire to the community and environment while responders worked to extinguish the flames, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said in an email to The Associated Press.
There have been no oil leaks associated with the fire, according to the ship's owners, Wisdom Marine Group. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/fire-on-cargo-ship-with-lithium-ion-batteries-off-of-alaska-port-is-put-out/3314815/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:15Z |

MP college principal alleges attack over 'witchcraft'; cops launch probe
- Country:
- India
Police have launched an investigation after the principal of a government college claimed he was attacked by four persons on a false accusation of his involvement in witchcraft in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, an official said.
A case was registered under the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in connection with the incident which occurred on December 29, a police officer said on Sunday.
''Based on a complaint lodged by Lalbahadur Singh, the principal of the government college in Sinhawal town, a case has been registered against four persons and further investigation is underway,'' Sidhi Superintendent of Police Ravindra Verma said.
He acknowledged that a video of the incident has surfaced on social media.
The trigger behind the incident is under investigation, the official said when asked about Singh's claim.
The principal told reporters he came to know from the college employees that the attackers claimed he was involved in witchcraft, which is not true.

Astana Mayor backs idea of planting apple orchard in city
"Rozmetova has recently reached out with a good initiative to the President. Right off the top, we considered two-three options. It is a very good initiative that needs to be implemented in a prompt manner. We will create all the conditions for this," Bakhyt Sultanov said at the Youth Council meeting.
The mayor informed that presently in Astana, there are 7 large parks and more than 100 public gardens. Therefore, opening an apple orchard would be a great gift for the citizens.
"All this is created for the citizens and guests of the capital. Many tourists go to Japan when sakura (cherry blossoms) bloom. I am from Almaty, and I know how it is pleasant when apricot, cherry, and apple trees bloom one after another - it creates a wonderful mood. And it would be a fine gift for citizens and guests of the capital. Therefore, I responded with pleasure. The relevant subdivision is here. I think in the near future we need to end up with specific solutions," added Bakhyt Sultanov.
Tamila Rozmetova, in turn, thanked the mayor of Astana for supporting the project.
"The entire country knows about the future orchard, I think that it should be located in the city. We will provide it with drip irrigation equipment. Thank you very much, Bakhyt Turlykhnovich (Sultanov), for you immediately responded, supported us. We are very pleased, on behalf of all the youth, we want to thank you for this. (...) We would like to make a park for youth so that people could walk there and enjoy the park. The size can be changed, we will adapt to the area that you offer us," said Tamila Rozmetova.
It should be mentioned that at the opening ceremony of the Year of Youth, Rozmetova told about her idea to create an apple orchard in Astana.
Kazinform reported that on January 23, 2019, President Nursultan Nazarbayev officially kicked off the Year of Youth in Kazakhstan. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/astana-mayor-backs-idea-of-planting-apple-orchard-in-city_a3491880/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:19Z |

Checkers Snag Phantoms in 2023 Finale
December 31, 2023 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Lehigh Valley Phantoms News Release
Charlotte Checkers' Mark Senden and Lehigh Valley Phantoms' Louie Belpedio and Emil Andrae on the ice
(Lehigh Valley Phantoms)
Allentown, PA - The Lehigh Valley Phantoms pushed back after an early deficit to cut into Charlotte's margin but eventually fell short in 5-2 final at PPL Center on New Year's Eve. Louie Belpedio (2nd) and Jacob Gaucher (2nd) scored for the Phantoms to cut a 4-0 margin down to 4-2 but Alexis Gendron's 6-on-5 goal with under two minutes left was waived off and the Phantoms couldn't complete the comeback.
Fans began the downtown Allentown New Year's celebration at the game with glowsticks and party favors courtesy of Penn National Bank. After the game, fans dispersed to Chickie's and Pete's and other down establishments awaiting the World's Largest Puck Drop outside the arena at midnight.
Zac Dalpe (8th, 9th) led the Checkers' attack with a pair of goals while Mackie Samoskevich (9th) finished the night with an empty-netter. Spencer Knight made a number of strong saves to hold off the resurgent Lehigh Valley contingent including a several scintillating denial of Wade Allison from point-blank range.
Charlotte (16-11-3) picked up its first regulation win in five tries against the Phantoms who are now 3-1-1 against their Atlantic Division foes.
The Checkers sprinted out to a 3-0 advantage in the first period with Zac Dalpe tipping a Lucas Carlsson shot at the net-front in the opening minutes to start the scoring.
Brendan Perlini (8th) zipped up the right boards past the Phantoms day on a bank pass by Samoskevich to burn the Checkers' second goal past Sandstrom for a 2-0 lead with 3:00 remaining in the second period.
Lucas Carlsson (10th) rocked a 4-on-3 one-timer from the right dot with 9.1 seconds left in the period for a 3-0 margin.
The Checkers boosted the advantage to 4-0 less than two minutes into the second period on another Dalpe strike.
Lehigh Valley (13-13-5) got back into the game with Louie Belpedio's rocket for a short-handed goal after some hard work in the zone by Tanner Laczynski and Adam Brooks to keep the play alive. It was Lehigh Valley's fourth shorthanded goal of the season and the team's first since October 16 when the Phantoms scored a franchise-record three shorties in one game against the Belleville Senators.
The Phantoms made it even more interesting when Gaucher pounced on an available puck in the slot on a set-up by Ronnie Attard to crank home his second goal of the week with 7:55 left in the second period to narrow the Checkers' advantage to 4-2.
Surrounding the two Phantoms goals came try-after-try from Wade Allison who had chances right on top of Knight in the low slot and on the breakaway. But Kniht had the answer each time including one chance in the first period whee Knight was looking the wrong way but Allison's push to the far post found the goaltender's left pad anyway.
The Phantoms thought they had cut the score down to 4-3 with 1:50 left in the third period when Gendron blasted home a 6-on-5 goal just Knight was falling into the back of the cage. The play was initially ruled a goal for the Phantoms. But the officials reversed the decision following a conference on the determination that Allison interfered with the goaltender even though Allison was pushed from behind by Lucas Carlsson. But, alas, the decision stood and the Phantoms did not close the deficit to a single goal after all.
Samoskevich closed the night with an empty-netter for the 5-2 final.
The Phantoms have a pair of away games to open 2024 beginning with a trip to northeast Pennsylvania on Saturday, January 6 at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
The Phantoms return to PPL Center for a pair of games on Friday, January 12 against the Hartford Wolf Pack and Saturday, January 13 against the Hershey Bears with a 2-for-$24 special available for both nights to celebrate the first home games of 2024.
SCORING SUMMARY

Surfer dies after shark bite, officials say
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.
Details on the injuries of Jason Carter oh Haiku were not released.
Maui Fire Department officials say the incident happened about 11 a.m.
A Department of Land and Natural Resources spokesman confirmed about 5:30 p.m. that Carter had died.
Officials said water conditions at the time were “mixed” because of high surf conditions.
The County of Maui posted on its official Instagram that Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park were closed due to the shark incident.
First responders were patrolling the area on shore and on jet skis, according to Maui Fire Department. Department of Land and Natural Resources officials said shark warning signs are up one mile on either side of the incident site.
The incident is seventh shark encounter in Hawaii waters this year and the first resulting in fatal injuries, according to the agency’s shark incident database.

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

Swift paired her jacket with black pants worn over matching stiletto boots at the game, which the Chiefs won 25-17.
This marked the ninth time the 34-year-old has been seen at Kelce's games since the two began dating over the summer. She has so far showcased a variety of stylish outfits incorporating various pieces of Chiefs apparel during her outings.
Entertainment News
The Grammy winner had previously attended the Chiefs' Dec. 25 game and made that event a full family affair, bringing along for the first time both of her parents at the same time—with her mom Andrea Swift making her debut—as well as her brother Austin Swift. Taylor Swift's mom and her dad Scott Swift were spotted chatting with Travis Kelce's dad Ed Kelce at the event.
Both Taylor Swift's dad and brother have accompanied her to Chiefs games before. Travis Kelce, 34, recently revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce's podcast "New Heights" that Austin Swift gave him a holiday gift while dressed as Santa during the Christmas Day game.
"He made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag—in the Santa sack," the Chiefs tight end said. "And handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time: Little Giants."
Meanwhile, the power couple's romance has received a stamp of approval from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.
"We're so happy," she said, "and excited for them." | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/taylor-swift-matches-travis-kelces-jacket-at-chiefs-nye-game/3182003/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:20Z |
DALLAS, Texas — Trailblazing longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a nurse from Texas who helped bring hundreds of millions of federal dollars to the Dallas area as the region's most powerful Democrat, died Sunday. She was 88.
President Joe Biden, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and many other leaders issued statements about her death after her son posted about it on Facebook. The Dallas Morning News also confirmed her death with an unnamed source close to the family. No cause of death was given.
Biden hailed her "immense courage" and called her "an icon and mentor to generations of public servants, through whom her legacy of resilience and purpose will endure."
"She was the single most effective legislator Dallas has ever had," the mayor said in a statement. "Nobody brought more federal infrastructure money home to our city. Nobody fought harder for our communities and our residents' interests and safety. And nobody knew how to navigate Washington better for the people of Dallas."
Eddie Bernice Johnson served in the House for three decades after becoming the first registered nurse elected to Congress and first Black chief psychiatric nurse at Dallas' Veterans Affairs hospital. She went on to become the first Black woman to chair the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and she also led the Congressional Black Caucus. She left office in January after repeatedly delaying her retirement. Before Congress, she served in the Texas legislature.
"For three decades, Chairwoman Johnson was a powerful force in the United States Congress, always focused on the future," House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said in a statement, praising Johnson as "a tenacious trailblazer, a talented legislator and a devoted public servant."
Johnson used her committee leadership position to fight against Republican efforts to block action on climate change. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said Johnson was also "a fierce advocate for expanding STEM opportunities to Black and minority students" who also played a key role in helping the Biden administration pass a major package of incentives for computer chip manufacturers.
She was born in Waco and grew up in the segregated South. Dallas' once-segregated Union Station was renamed in her honor in 2019.
Her own experience with racism helped spur her to get involved in politics. She recalled that officials at the VA hospital were shocked that she was Black after they hired her sight-unseen, so they rescinded their offer for her to live in a dorm on campus. She told The Dallas Morning News in 2020 that officials would go into patients' rooms ahead of her to "say that I was qualified."
"That was really the most blatant, overt racism that I ever experienced in my life," she told the newspaper.
Johnson nearly quit but decided to stick with it.
"It was very challenging," she said. "But any job where you're an African American woman entering for the first time would be a challenge. They had not hired one before I got there. Yes, it was a challenge, but it was a successful venture."

- PGA Tour and LIV Golf are working to extend their proposed merger deadline, originally set at Dec. 31.
- The delay is the latest update in a long and tumultuous saga between the PGA Tour and Saudi Public Investment Fund-backed LIV Golf.
- The PGA Tour recently announced that it was in the final round of negotiations with a coalition of U.S. investors, led by Fenway Sports Group.
PGA Tour and LIV Golf are working to extend their proposed merger deadline, which was originally set at Dec. 31, Commissioner Jay Monaha told players in a memo on Sunday.
"While we had initially set a deadline of December 31, 2023, to reach an agreement, we are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date," according to the memo obtained by CNBC.
Monahan told players their goal for 2024 is to reach agreements with Strategic Sports Group (SSG), the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and DP World Tour, bringing them on board as minority co-investors in PGA Tour Enterprises.

The PGA Tour recently announced that it was in the final round of negotiations with a coalition of U.S. investors, called Strategic Sports Group. The SSG is led by Fenway Sports Group. Monahan said they have made "meaningful progress" and have provided SSG with the due diligence information they requested.
"These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors," he said.
The competing golf leagues are expected to make a formal decision on the combination ahead of the Masters tournament in April, according to The Telegraph, which first reported the extension.
U.S. & World
The delay is the latest update in a long and tumultuous saga between the PGA Tour and Saudi Public Investment Fund-backed LIV Golf that has divided players and could dramatically change professional golf if the merger is completed.
The two entities agreed in June to combine commercial operations, shocking the global golf community and raising questions around competition and human rights considerations. Under the structure of the agreement, PGA Tour would hold a permanent controlling interest in the new entity's board of directors and PIF would be a noncontrolling minority investor.
If the proposed merger is completed, PIF is prepared to invest $1 billion into the new commercial business. The agreement also includes the DP World Tour, also known as the PGA European Tour.
The deal is subject to likely antitrust scrutiny from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department.
Before the agreement, PGA Tour and LIV were locked in heated litigation as LIV Golf lured Tour players away, offering big contracts. LIV Golf most recently signed world No. 3 player Jon Rahm to a contract worth a reported $300 million.
Last month, the Tour told players it would begin offering direct equity ownership in the new company after it reaches a deal with investors.
In late November, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan told Andrew Ross Sorkin at the DealBook Summit that he was meeting with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, chairman of LIV Golf and PIF governor, to continue discussions.
"When this gets finalized, the PGA Tour is going to be in a position where the athletes are owners in their sport and you've got not only the PIF, but you've likely got another co-investor with significant experience in business, in sport and [in] brand that's going to help take the PGA Tour to another level," Monahan said at the time. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/pga-tour-and-liv-golf-are-working-to-extend-merger-deadline-into-2024/3314882/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:21Z |

A surfer in Hawaii has died after being injured in a shark encounter off Maui's northern shore, according to the Maui Police Department. Authorities stopped short of calling the event an attack and didn't describe the man's injuries.
Ocean Safety Officers grabbed and transported the man by jet ski to shore, where responders performed life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived and took the victim to a hospital for further treatment, police said in a news release.
The man's identity was not immediately released pending the notification of extended family and friends. Authorities did say the man was from Haiku, a small community on Maui's north side.
There were no initial signs of foul play. The investigation is ongoing and an autopsy is scheduled, according to the police department.
The man was injured on Paia Bay, near Haiku, and shark warning signs were placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay, according to Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources.

Pickard stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 7-2 victory over Anaheim.
Pickard was sharp Sunday, allowing just a goal apiece in the first and third periods, though he ultimately didn't have to do much in the blowout win. Overall, Pickard improved to 3-2-0 with a .904 save percentage and 2.82 GAA on the season. He should continue to see the occasional start as Stuart Skinner's backup in Edmonton. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/oilers-calvin-pickard-stops-28-shots-in-win/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:25Z |

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

The original “Aquaman,” which ultimately surpassed $1.1 billion worldwide, had grossed $215.4 million over a similar period in 2018 – more than double that of the sequel. Internationally, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” added $50.5 million.
Weekend sales only tell part of the story this time of year. From Christmas through New Year’s, when kids are out of school and many adults aren’t working, every day is like Saturday to film distributors.
“The Color Purple,” Blitz Bazawule's adaptation of the 2005 stage musical from Alice Walker's novel, debuted on Monday and led all movies on Christmas with $18 million. Through the week, the Warner Bros. release has grossed $50 million, including $13 million Friday through Sunday. That’s a strong start for the crowd-pleaser starring Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson and Danielle Brooks. Audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore.
Entertainment News
The roughly $100 million production, which boasts Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones (all from the 1985 film) as producers, should play well through awards season. It's nominated for several Golden Globes and expected to be in the Oscar mix.
“We saw this opportunity to go wide at Christmas since there were so few movies and we were confident the movie would be well received,” said Jeffrey Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. “Going into the competitive landscape that's so thin in January and February, the excitement of awards season could really help ignite a bigger box office.”
Despite a blockbuster-less holiday frame, the last weekend of the year pushed the industry past $9 billion in box office for the year in U.S. and Canadian theaters for the first time since before the pandemic. Ticket sales on the year were up 21% from 2022, according to data firm Comscore.
Still, it was a mark that seemed more easily within reach during the summer highs of Barbenheimer when both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were breaking box-office records.
The enormous success of those two films changed the trajectory of Hollywood’s 2023, but so did the monthslong actors and writers strikes. Those forced the postponement of some top films (most notably “Dune: Part Two” ), diminishing an already patchwork fall lineup with few guaranteed ticket-sellers. One exception was the last-minute addition of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which set a new record for concert films.
This year, Hollywood needed Swift and every penny to reach $9 billion. It crossed that threshold Saturday, with one day to spare. That total, though, still doesn't come close to the $11 billion-plus years that preceded the pandemic. The number of wide releases in 2023 came about 20 films shy of those released in 2019.
The production delays caused by the strikes could have an even greater impact on 2024. Several top releases have already been postponed until at least the following year, including “Mission: Impossible” and “Spider-Verse” sequels. After a rocky year for Marvel and a string of less predictable hits, Hollywood will have to hope it can adapt to changing audience tastes – and that another “Barbie” is lurking somewhere.
"It's an $11 billion business. We're climbing our way back," said Goldstein. “This next year is going to be a big challenge because of the strikes. But we're seeing very clearly in 2023, when there are movies out there that people want to see, they come.”
Meanwhile, a host of releases sought to capitalize over the holidays – and most succeeded.
“This crop of seven wide releases at the end of the year, they got us over the hump of $9 billion,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. “This final push of the year provided great insight into what audiences are looking for. It's movies big and small. It's different types of movies."
Though “Wonka” won out as the family movie choice for the holidays, Universal Pictures’ “Migration” is attracting young audiences, too. The animated movie from “Minions”-maker Illumination notched $17.2 million in 3,839 theaters in its second weekend, and $59.4 million since opening.
“The Boys in the Boat,” the George Clooney-directed sports drama, grossed $24.6 million since opening Dec. 25. The Amazon MGM Studios release, about the U.S. men’s crew in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, wasn’t a smash with critics (58% “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes) but audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore. “The Boys in the Boat,” which cost about $40 million to make, could hold well in coming weeks.
Though romantic comedies have largely migrated to streaming platforms, Sony Pictures' “Anyone But You” is proving the genre can still work in theaters. The film, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, collected $9 million in its second weekend to bring its total to $27.6 million through Monday.
Sean Durkin's wrestling drama “The Iron Claw" is also performing well. The A24 film, starring Zac Efron, Holt McCallany and Jeremy Allen White, has grossed $18 million since opening Dec. 22, including $5 million on the three-day weekend. The film dramatizes the tragic story of the Von Erich family.
Michael Mann's “Ferrari," a project the director sought to make for three decades, took in $10.9 million since launching in theaters on Monday, including $4.1 million for the weekend. While that ranks as one of the biggest debuts for indie distributor Neon, it's nowhere near what a movie that cost close to $100 million to make needs to turn a profit.
The film, starring Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, has been celebrated by critics, but appears likely to follow Mann's previous film, 2015's “Blackhat” ($19.6 million worldwide against a $70 million budget), as a commercial disappointment.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Wonka,” $24 million.
2. “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” $19.5 million.
3. “Migration,” $17.2 million.
4. “The Color Purple,” $13 million.
5. “Anyone But You,” $9 million.
6. “The Boys in the Boat,” $8.3 million.
7. “The Iron Claw,” $5 million.
8. “Ferrari,” $4.1 million.
9. “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” $2.9 million.
10. “The Boy and the Heron,” $2.5 million. | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/wonka-no-1-at-box-office-again-as-2023-ends-2-billion-shy-of-pre-pandemic-sales/3181997/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:26Z |

Presented by Nationwide Insurance Agent Jeff Vukovich
DALLAS — Tyler Johnson is the latest player to join the Chicago Blackhawks' already long injury list after Taylor Raddysh was added to it on Friday with a groin injury.
Johnson left the game in the second period of Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center and did not return. He logged only two shifts in the period before exiting.

After the game, Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson sounded like someone preparing not to have Johnson for the foreseeable future.
"He'll be probably out for a little time," Richardson said. "But it's just so quick on the road with us getting out of here, we'll have to find out a little bit more maybe tomorrow or down the road how long."
Richardson clarified that Johnson's injury is not related to the one he dealt with just before the three-day Christmas break. He missed the Dec. 23 game in St. Louis.
Chicago Blackhawks
While no specifics were given on the nature of his injury, Johnson was seen in a walking boot after the game, which is never a great sign. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/nhl/chicago-blackhawks/blackhawks-tyler-johnson-expected-to-be-out-for-a-little-time/3314876/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:28Z |

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.

(MENAFN- IANS) Prayagraj, Jan 1 (IANS) The police have taken into custody a 13-year-old boy from the Railway Overbridge in the Industrial Area for the brutal murder of a six-year-old boy in Haldi Kala village in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj on December 27.
The accused, known to the victim, was taken by the Industrial Area police and personnel from the trans-Yamuna special operations group of Prayagraj police.
The detained teenager, who later confessed his crime, had attacked and killed the child with a brick after failing in his attempt to sexually assault him, said a police official.
The 13-year-old is a Class 5 student who not only studied in the same school as the victim but also used to play with the victim often. On information provided by the accused boy, blood-stained clothes and the brick used in the crime were also recovered, the police added.
“A teen known to the victim and residing in the same neighbourhood as the victim has been detained on Sunday in connection with the murder. He has confessed to the crime. We are now preparing to present the accused in the juvenile court. Evidence has been collected against him,” said deputy commissioner of police (trans-Yamuna) Abhinav Tyagi.
The questioning has revealed that the victim was playing with his friends on the day of the murder. He strayed some distance while playing. The accused teen then took him to a secluded place and tried to sexually assault him. The victim resisted and tried to raise an alarm following which the teen panicked and hit him on the head and face with a brick lying nearby, said the official.

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.
U.S. & World
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.

China's Xi, US President Biden exchange congratulations on 45th year of diplomatic ties
China's President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulations with U.S. President Joe Biden on the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday. Xi also exchanged New Year's messages with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, and both announced 2024 to be a "friendship year" for both countries, launching a series of activities for that, Xinhua said separately.
China's President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulations with U.S. President Joe Biden on the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday.
Xi also exchanged New Year's messages with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, and both announced 2024 to be a "friendship year" for both countries, launching a series of activities for that, Xinhua said separately. On New Year's Eve, the Chinese leader exchanged New Year's greetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin as well. This year is the 75th anniversary of China and Russia establishing diplomatic relations.
Xi said China and Russia should "continuously consolidate" and develop ties "featuring permanent good-neighbourly friendship", along with comprehensive strategic coordination and mutually beneficial cooperation that would serve both countries' interests. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong, who defeated Republic of China forces led by Chiang Kai-shek in a bloody civil war.
Mao declared the People's Republic of China on Oct. 1, 1949, while Chiang's government fled into exile in Taiwan in December of that year. No peace treaty has ever been signed to end the war and the Republic of China remains Taiwan's formal name. Xi in his New Year's
address on Sunday said China's "reunification" with Taiwan is inevitable, striking a stronger tone than he did a year earlier with less than two weeks to go before the democratically governed island elects a new leader.

Senator Klobuchar visits Duluth raising awareness for Blatnik Bridge funding
DULUTH, MN. (Northern News Now) - Sunday one of Minnesota’s U.S. Senators made a stop in Duluth.
Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar is raising awareness about efforts to obtain federal funding for the Blatnik Bridge Project.
She was joined by Duluth Mayor-Elect Roger Reinert, Duluth Chamber of Commerce President Matt Baumgartner, and Jack Carlson with the Duluth Building and Construction Trades Council.
Klobuchar and other lawmakers from both sides of the aisle from our region have been advocating to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and President Biden to help fund the project.
To be completed, 50 percent of the funding will have to come from the federal government.
According to Klobuchar, the Blatnik Bridge is a pillar of the state’s economy, and it’s vital the rebuilding project is completed.
“When you think of northern Minnesota and everything going back and forth and the progress that we’ve seen that we must build on. And I know that the Mayor and the Chamber and Labor is committed to building on this progress that we’ve seen,” Senator Klobuchar said.
More than 33,000 cars travel across the bridge every day.
It’s also responsible for transporting $4 billion worth of goods each year.
According to Jack Carlson, the rebuilding project would also bring hundreds of good-paying construction jobs to the Twin Ports.
He said it could be a once-in-a-lifetime build for workers in our region.
“When they drive by or they drive across over to Wisconsin and vice versa they can say, ‘I built this bridge’ and they can take a huge sense of pride into that,” said Carlson.
According to Carlson, the wages from the rebuilding effort would put food on the table for many families for several years and help pay into retirement pensions for workers.
Duluth Mayor-Elect Roger Reinert also spoke at the event about the importance of transportation in Duluth.
“In Duluth, we pride ourselves on being a transportation hub. We have the airport, we have the port, we have rail, and of course, we have our freeway system. And we thrive because of that,” said Mayor-Elect Reinert.
Reinert also thanked Mayor Larson for the work she and her staff put into the project over the past few years.
Klobuchar is pushing to get the grant funding secured within the next month.

(MENAFN- IANS) Lucknow, Jan 1 (IANS) Having got his third extension in service, Durga Shankar Mishra, IAS, will now set a record as the second longest serving chief secretary of Uttar Pradesh.
He has already made history for being the first IAS officer in the country to have already got three extensions as chief secretary (CS) after retirement.
Following the Centre's approval, the UP government on Sunday issued orders giving six months' extension to Mishra as the state's chief secretary -- the post he has been holding since December 31, 2021. He was given one year's extension on December 31, 2022.
Additional chief secretary, appointment and personnel, Devesh Chaturvedi said,“We have issued orders extending the present chief secretary's tenure for six months, that is till June 30, 2024.”
Mishra will have a tenure spanning two-and-a-half-years when he quits after six months if he does not get yet another extension, the possibility of which nobody can deny at this juncture.
But even the 30 months' tenure that he is already endowed with, will be the longest tenure that any other IAS officer, probably, barring Atul Kumar Gupta, can boast of in the recent decades.
“I do not recall any other IAS officer having such a long tenure as the chief secretary in the recent past. His predecessor R.K. Tiwari also had a long stint as the chief secretary but his span was shorter than that of D.S. Mishra,” said a senior IAS officer.
Tiwari, a 1985 batch IAS officer (now retired), was appointed the chief secretary on August 30, 2019, and was succeeded by D.S. Mishra midway on December 30, 2021, completing the tenure of 28 months as the CS.
Earlier, Anoop Chandra Pandey was in the office of the CS only for 14 months, Rajiv Kumar for 12 months, both under the Yogi Adityanath government.
Rahul Bhatnagar, Alok Ranjan and Javed Usmani all appointed CS under the Akhilesh Yadav government had nine months, 13 months and 26 months tenures, respectively.
The tenure of Deepak Singhal, also appointed CS under the same regime on July 16, 2016, was as short as two months.
Atul Kumar Gupta alone, appointed CS under the Mayawati government, had a tenure a little longer than that of D.S. Mihra who is still in office.
A 1974 batch IAS officer, Gupta served as the chief secretary of UP between May 29, 2008 and March 31, 2011, the total tenure being of around 34 months.
His successor Anoop Kumar Mishra remained in office only for around 12 months. Other IAS officers, including V.K. Mittal, V.K. Diwan, B.N. Tiwari, P.K. Mishra, Neera Yadav, Akhand Pratap Singh appointed CS between 2000 and 2008 all had a shorter stint.
“D.S. Mishra made history first when he became the first IAS officer to be appointed CS after retirement for one year since extensions to IAS officers after retirement are normally given for six months only. Now, Mishra is all set to set a new record having the longest tenure as the CS in the recent years even as his each extension dashes many IAS officers' hopes of becoming the CS,” said another IAS officer.

North Korea's Kim orders military to 'thoroughly annihilate' US, South Korea if provoked
Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest US 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 US.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 countrys nuclear weapons programme.
- Country:
- South Korea
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 defence to cope with what he called an unprecedented US-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the US presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest US 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 US.
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 programme. He cited “the US 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 defence 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 US 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 US 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 US rejected Kim's offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in US-led sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted more than 100 missile tests, prompting the US 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 US and its partners in the UN Security Council to toughen UN 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 programmes.
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.

Some Nutramigen infant formula recalled due to possible bacteria contamination

McLeod tallied a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over Anaheim.
McLeod opened the scoring 4:15 into the first period, burying a net-front feed from Warren Foegele, before returning the favor with an assist on Foegele's tally in the second. It's McLeod's third multi-point effort in his last five contests -- he has five goals and three assists in that span. Overall, the 24-year-old forward has seven goals and 15 points through 34 games this season, though he's found success since moving up to Edmonton's second line alongside Foegele and Leon Draisaitl. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/oilers-ryan-mcleod-another-two-point-game/ | 2024-01-01T04:35:43Z |
(MENAFN- PR Newswire) NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of millions of people in New York and across the globe welcomed the New Year with a Chinese cultural performance on December 31st as the New York Times Square countdown celebration highlighted Wuliang Harmony.
The opening ceremony featured a spectacular blend of modern and traditional Chinese art, including a lion and dragon ribbon dance, titled "Cheers to 2024 with Wuliang Harmony." This performance spotlighted the center stage, ushering in the Year of the Dragon.
During the opening ceremony, Wuliangye, one of the most renowned Baijiu brands,
was featured as a special collaborator at the opening ceremony. Chen Chong, the special representative of Wuliangye Group, expressed his excitement, saying: "Wuliangye is thrilled to be part of this iconic event and to showcase the spirit of Chinese traditions through Chinese Baijiu."
He continued: "On behalf of Mr. Zeng Congqin, the Chairman of Wuliangye Group, we wish everyone a happy New Year filled with good health, happiness, and harmony! Wuliangye, from China to the world, to New York, and to 2024."
Multiple giant screens displayed a video about Wuliangye, highlighting its thousand years of history and its emphasis on harmony and health throughout the celebration. As the earliest spirit in the world produced
with five grains, Wuliangye's multi-grain solid fermentation process has been passed down for a thousand years. Its time-honored fermentation pit cluster built in the year of 1368, is still in use for
producing
Baijiu uninterruptedly for
655 years. Wuliangye stands out as the first clear liquor crafted from five different types of grains and is considered a rare gift from nature.
This distinction makes Wuliangye the masterpiece of Baijiu. The increasing popularity of Wuliangye has sparked a global appreciation for Baijiu, with more people exploring this unique spirit and its cultural significance.
New York City Council Member Christopher Marte, in a greeting letter noted: "This Wuliang Harmony showcase will highlight the unique nature of traditional Chinese Baijiu to a global audience. Wuliangye is world-renowned, and has been an esteemed treasure of Chinese Baijiu for over a thousand years."
Drinking Baijiu is a Chinese tradition at the festive gatherings like champagne in the west. It's not just toasted at New Year but it's also an integral part of Chinese daily gatherings and is even used in Chinese cuisine.

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.

A Department of Land and Natural Resources spokesman confirmed about 5:30 p.m. that Carter had died.
Officials said water conditions at the time were “mixed” because of high surf conditions.
