Sunday Night Football: Jordan Love throws three TDs, Packers beat Vikings 33-10
After the Seahawks lost to the Steelers earlier on Sunday, the Packers and Vikings both entered their Week 17 matchup controlling their own outcome for a postseason berth.
The Packers took full advantage of the situation, coming away with a 33-10 victory over Minnesota on Sunday Night Football.
Green Bay started off well, taking a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter when Love connected with Jayden Reed on a 33-yard touchdown pass. Then Love took in a 2-yard run in the second quarter and fired another 25-yard touchdown to Reed for a 23-3 halftime lead.
Looking for ball security out of the quarterback position, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell turned to Jaren Hall to replace Nick Mullens. But Hall was ineffective in the first half, tossing an interception that led to Reed’s first touchdown and fumbling on a sack to lead to Reed’s second score.
Nick Mullens replaced Hall in the second half but couldn’t get the ball in the end zone in the third quarter, turning it over on downs. The Packers responded with a 13-play, 91-yard drive that ended with Love hitting Bo Melton with a 9-yard touchdown to make the score 30-3.
The Vikings did score after a Green Bay muffed punt gave them first-and-goal at the 7. But an Anders Carlson 37-yard field goal got the game to the final score, with Green Bay winning by 23.
Love finished 24-of-33 for 256 yards with three touchdowns, plus a rushing touchdown. Sean Clifford came in at the end of the game to ice it, completing his one pass to Melton for 37 yards on a third down.
Aaron Jones had 20 carries for 120 yards to lead the way. AJ Dillon had seven carries for 27 yards, exiting the game with a stinger. Reed had six catches for 89 yards with two TDs before leaving the contest with a chest injury. Melton caught six passes for 105 yards with a TD.
Hall was just 5-of-10 for 67 yards with an interception and a lost fumble. Mullens finished 13-of-22 for 133 yards with a touchdown and no picks.
Justin Jefferson had a quiet night, catching five passes for 59 yards.
Green Bay was dominant offensively, racking up 470 yards and 28 first downs. The club was 9-of-14 on third down. The club also led time of possession 37:32 to 22:28.
Now at 8-8, the Packers will clinch a playoff berth if they beat the Bears at home in Week 18. That game will be played at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.
The 7-9 Vikings will need a road victory over the Lions and a lot of help to make it to the playoffs. Minnesota's game against Detroit will be played at 1 p.m. ET on Fox. | https://sports.yahoo.com/sunday-night-football-jordan-love-042525083.html | 2024-01-01T04:36:36Z |
Belarus urges EAEU to unite efforts for digital transformation
"We understand that digitalization by definition goes beyond the borders of any, even the most developed country. Long-term success is impossible without us joining efforts both at the national and interstate levels. The overall success of digital transformation projects in the EAEU depends on mutual efforts of all stakeholders, and their readiness to cooperate," said Sergei Rumas.
In practice, the EAEU member states are moving at different speeds, sometimes pursueing different strategies for transformations. "This concerns the development of both digital economy and legislation. We need to move in unison and to join efforts. To get a real synergistic effect, we need to work together on the cross-border and global IT market, use all the best that has been developed at the national level in each of the EAEU state," the Belarusian head of government said.
In his words, Belarus has embarked on the course of building an IT country. "For this, the country is working on its legal and regulatory environment, large-scale infrastructure projects, and technological and organizational transformation of its traditional industries. The country has already legislated the use of tokens and blockchain technology. The first CIS cryptocurrency exchange has gone online in Belarus," said Sergei Rumas.
The prime minister stressed that in terms of software export per capita, Belarus is ahead of countries such as the United States, China, and India. "This is largely thanks to the digital economy ordinance signed by the Belarusian president at the end of 2017. As a result we saw an explosive growth of resident companies: the Hi-Tech Park welcomed more companies last year than in the entire 12 years of its existence. Now the number of the resident companies at the Hi-Tech Park is more than 450," Sergei Rumas said.
According to Sergei Rumas, the HTP makes an emphasis on artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. More than 80 companies in the HTP work in these areas. "We have set a target to become one of the key artificial intelligence development centers of Eastern and Central Europe. Frankly speaking, the government is satisfied with the first results of the presidential ordinance [on digital economy]. As a result, Belarus ranks 32nd among 176 countries on the ICT Development Index," the prime minister said, Kazinform has learnt from BelTA. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/belarus-urges-eaeu-to-unite-efforts-for-digital-transformation_a3494047/ | 2024-01-01T04:36:36Z |

Eddie Bernice Johnson, trailblazing former US Representative, dies at 88
Former U.S. Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, a Democrat who retired from the House of Representatives after 30 years in office, died at 88, her family said on social media on Sunday. Johnson, who represented a district in Texas that includes downtown Dallas, was the first person of color to serve as Chair of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology and was the oldest member of the House when she left office in January 2023.
Former U.S. Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, a Democrat who retired from the House of Representatives after 30 years in office, died at 88, her family said on social media on Sunday.
Johnson, who represented a district in Texas that includes downtown Dallas, was the first person of color to serve as Chair of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology and was the oldest member of the House when she left office in January 2023. "She was a remarkable and loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother, as well as a trailblazer and public servant," her son, Kirk Johnson, wrote on Facebook.
President Joe Biden said Johnson had "unwavering" dedication to the people of North Texas, adding that he was grateful for their "friendship and partnership" from working together throughout her 30 years in Congress. House of Representatives Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries in a statement said that in 1992 Johnson became the first registered nurse elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and the first African American to serve in Congress from North Texas.
"Congresswoman Johnson was a trailblazing icon, transformational public servant and legendary member of the Congressional Black Caucus," Jeffries said. Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement that as representative, Eddie Bernice Johnson authored and co-authored more than 177 bills that became law as she fought for her communities and residents.
"She was the single most effective legislator Dallas has ever had," the mayor wrote in the statement posted on social media platform X, previously known as Twitter.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A local nonprofit that helps feed children in the state needs help to tackle the growing need. Feed New Mexico Kids provides food packages for youth, and now, they’re looking for new partners.
“These kids who are getting food on the weekends, this is giving them hope,” said Feed New Mexico Kids Executive Director Tracy Rodden.
Feed New Mexico Kids prepares hundreds of snack packs to help youth get through weekends and long holidays.
“We find out what kids are not getting food on the weekends, so 90,000 kids in New Mexico are food insecure and many of them eat because they are in school,” said Rodden.
The nonprofit said it currently serves five school districts in the state including Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Albuquerque, Bernalillo, and Los Lunas. They hope to expand that list in 2024 to include Questa, Silver City, and Las Cruces.
“We pack 8-10 snack packs per box and then we stack them here. And then when the drivers come, we help load their car,” said Rodden.
Executive Director Tracy Rodden said they serve about 1,600 kids a week. Each snack pack costs about $5 and includes items like ramen, pudding cups, protein bars, and other non-perishables. However, they currently have 300 kids on a waitlist they’d like to take care of.
“These kids are expected to not have food, to go home for the weekend, do homework, pay attention, retain what they’re hopefully able to read, and then go to school on Monday and perform, and that’s just not happening,” said Rodden.

Rodden said due to the growing need they’re looking for a second warehouse to be able to make more packages. They’re also looking for new partners to help them serve more children along with donations from the community.
“This is something that you can do that’s going to move the needle. Just one snack pack at a time,” said Rodden.
The nonprofit said they are currently accepting new volunteers on their website. | https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/nonprofit-helping-youth-with-food-scarcity-looking-for-new-partners/ | 2024-01-01T04:36:42Z |

Sunday Night Football: Packers roll past Vikings, control playoff path in season finale vs. Bears
With their playoff path in their hands, the Green Bay Packers cruised past the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday behind a four-touchdown game from Jordan Love.
They'll face the rival Chicago Bears in their season finale next week. If they win, they make the playoffs.
The 33-10 loss didn't eliminate the Vikings. But they'll need to a lot to go their way in Week 18. They'll have to beat the Lions, then need the Bears to beat the Packers and the Cardinals to beat the Seahawks. Then, they'll have to count on either the Panthers to beat the Bucs or the Falcons to beat the Saints. Otherwise, their season will be over.

Taiwan president says ties with China must be decided by will of the people
Taiwan's relations with China must be decided by the will of the people and peace must be based on "dignity", President Tsai Ing-wen said on Monday after China's leader Xi Jinping said "reunification" with the island is inevitable. China has been ramping up military pressure to assert its sovereignty claims over democratically governed Taiwan, which on Jan. 13 holds presidential and parliamentary elections.
Taiwan's relations with China must be decided by the will of the people and peace must be based on "dignity", President Tsai Ing-wen said on Monday after China's leader Xi Jinping said "reunification" with the island is inevitable.
China has been ramping up military pressure to assert its sovereignty claims over democratically governed Taiwan, which on Jan. 13 holds presidential and parliamentary elections. Xi's comments, in a New Year's Eve address, struck a stronger tone than the previous year where he said only that people on either side of the Taiwan Strait are "members of one and the same family".
Asked about Xi's speech at a New Year's press conference at the presidential office in Taipei, Tsai said the most important principle on what course to follow on relations with China was democracy. "This is taking the joint will of Taiwan's people to make a decision. After all, we are a democratic country," she said.
China should respect the outcome of Taiwan's election and it is the responsibility of both sides to maintain peace and stability in the strait, Tsai added. China has cast the election as a choice between war and peace and has refused multiple offers of talks by Tsai, believing she is a separatist.
Tsai has made bolstering and modernising Taiwan's defences a priority, including pushing an indigenous submarine programme. "Everyone's home has locks on them, which is not to provoke the neighbours next door but to make yourself safer. This is the same for the doors to the country. Taiwan's people want peace, but we want peace with respect," she said.
Taiwan's government has repeatedly warned China is trying to interfere in the election, whether by using fake news or military or trade pressure, and Tsai said she hoped people could be on alert for this. China has taken particular exception to current Vice President Lai Ching-te, the presidential candidate for Taiwan's ruling Democratic Party (DPP) who is leading in opinion polls by varying margins, saying he is also a dangerous separatist.
Both the DPP and Taiwan's largest opposition party the Kuomintang say only the island's people can decide their future. Tsai cannot stand again after two terms in office. She will step down in May when the next president is sworn in.

By Nick Wright
An emotional Naomi Osaka appeared on the verge of tears when she spoke immediately after her triumphant comeback, pledging to dedicate this next chapter of her career to return “as much love as I was given”.
Even as the heavens opened, a deluge causing spectators to rush for cover and Pat Rafter Arena’s roof to close, the four-time grand slam champion’s comeback at the Brisbane International could not be dampened as she closed out an at times tense 6-3, 7-6 (11-9) win against Tamara Korpatsch of Germany.
An array of powerful groundstrokes in the opening games announced Osaka’s return to the court, after a year spent away for the birth of her first child.
At stages in the opening set, her challenger held her own. However, after conceding an early break, Korpatsch was unable to force her way back into the first set.
Even after making an unforced error, working her rival around the court before mis-hitting a volley into the net, Osaka could not help but sigh, breathe, and laugh to herself. She was back.
Having been so open and raw about her mental health struggles even at the peak of her powers, Osaka appeared composed, assured, and when it was all said and done, privileged to be back.
“I feel like the last couple of years that I’ve played before I had my daughter I didn’t return as much love as I was given, so I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter,” Osaka said.
“I feel like there was a time I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play, so it feels pretty surreal sometimes to be playing on this court.”
It was far from the perfect outing come the second set – forfeiting a break deep into the exchange to give Korpatsch the chance to level on serve.
An unforced error then cruelled Osaka’s chance to take an 0-30 lead the next game, working the court brilliantly before a backhand found the net, only to then send a forehand wide the following point despite again appearing on top of the rally.
At 5-5 Osaka trailed 0-30 on serve, before bouncing back to hit the front once again.
Frustrations started to set in as the set wore on, with further unforced errors drawing her ire. Much to Korpatsch’s credit, the German made life difficult in the clash’s latter stages as the tie-breaker became a tense affair.
But while there may have been some rust, there is no replacement for the two-time Australian Open winner’s class.
Having lost two match points, while also being forced to save a pair of set points, Osaka at last overcame her plucky opponent – much to the delight of a Brisbane crowd willing her return to go according to plan.
“I was super nervous playing the entire time, but I was really excited to be out here,” Osaka said.
“It feels good to be back.”

North Korea's Kim says armed conflict becoming reality because of US - KCNA
The call to upgrade the country's military readiness follows the pledge made at the conclusion of a five-day WPK meeting that ended on Saturday to boost its nuclear arsenal, build military drones and launch three new spy satellites in 2024. The escalation of rhetoric from Kim comes as the United States increased drills with South Korea in the past year, deploying more strategic military assets, including a nuclear missile submarine, aircraft carriers and large bombers.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told the country's military commanders the most powerful means must be mobilized to destroy the United States and South Korea if they choose military confrontation, state media reported on Monday. Kim said the danger of an armed confrontation on the Korean peninsula is fast becoming a reality because of hostile maneuvers by the enemies including the United States, requiring the country to "sharpen the treasured sword" to protect itself.
"If the enemy opt for military confrontation ... our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment's hesitation," KCNA news agency quoted Kim as saying. Kim made the comments as he hosted senior military leaders on Sunday at the ruling Workers' Party (WPK) headquarters to congratulate them on the accomplishments made in 2023, the state news agency said.
North Korea in 2023 tested its largest ballistic missiles and launched its first military reconnaissance satellite, which Kim has called major advances in modernizing the country's military. The call to upgrade the country's military readiness follows the pledge made at the conclusion of a five-day WPK meeting that ended on Saturday to boost its nuclear arsenal, build military drones and launch three new spy satellites in 2024.
The escalation of rhetoric from Kim comes as the United States increased drills with South Korea in the past year, deploying more strategic military assets, including a nuclear missile submarine, aircraft carriers and large bombers. It also comes ahead of a year that will see pivotal elections in both South Korea and the United States, which Pyongyang likely sees as an opportunity to increase its leverage by stepping up a campaign of military pressure.
On Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol pledged to accelerate work to complete a missile defence system and a system using U.S. extended deterrence to "fundamentally deter any North Korean nuclear and missile threat." Extended deterrence refers to the strategy of using U.S. military assets including nuclear weapons to deter and, in the event of an attack against an ally, respond.
In separate reports, KCNA said Kim hosted a reception for senior members of the ruling party and attended a late night "grand art performance" celebrating the new year at the May Day stadium in Pyongyang, where senior party members, soldiers and members of the diplomatic corps were present. The show featured ice skaters, acrobats and choirs, and fireworks lit up the sky at midnight, as the venue filled "with great happiness and boundless excitement of seeing in the New Year with the benevolent father of the great socialist family."

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.”

Taiwan president says ties with China must be decided by will of the people
Taiwan's relations with China must be decided by the will of the people and peace must be based on "dignity", President Tsai Ing-wen said on Monday after China's leader, Xi Jinping, said "reunification" with the island is inevitable. China has been ramping up military pressure to assert its sovereignty claims over democratically governed Taiwan, which on Jan. 13 holds presidential and parliamentary elections.
Taiwan's relations with China must be decided by the will of the people and peace must be based on "dignity", President Tsai Ing-wen said on Monday after China's leader, Xi Jinping, said "reunification" with the island is inevitable.
China has been ramping up military pressure to assert its sovereignty claims over democratically governed Taiwan, which on Jan. 13 holds presidential and parliamentary elections. Xi's comments, in a New Year's Eve address, struck a stronger tone than the previous year where he said only that people on either side of the Taiwan Strait are "members of one and the same family".
Asked about Xi's speech at a New Year's press conference at the presidential office in Taipei, Tsai said the most important principle on what course to follow on relations with China was democracy. "This is taking the joint will of Taiwan's people to make a decision. After all, we are a democratic country," she said.
China should respect the outcome of Taiwan's election and it is the responsibility of both sides to maintain peace and stability in the strait, Tsai added. China has cast the election as a choice between war and peace and has refused multiple offers of talks by Tsai, believing she is a separatist.
Tsai has made bolstering and modernising Taiwan's defences a priority, including pushing an indigenous submarine programme. "Everyone's home has locks on them, which is not to provoke the neighbours next door but to make yourself safer. This is the same for the doors to the country. Taiwan's people want peace, but we want peace with respect," she said.
Taiwan's government has repeatedly warned China is trying to interfere in the election, whether by using fake news or military or trade pressure, and Tsai said she hoped people could be on alert for this. After China accused Taiwan of erecting trade barriers and ended some tariff cuts for the island, China last week threatened further economic measures.
Tsai said Taiwan's companies must look globally and diversify. "This is the correct path, rather than going back to the path of relying on China, especially as in China's unstable market there is unpredictable risk," she said.
China has taken particular exception to current Vice President Lai Ching-te, the presidential candidate for Taiwan's ruling Democratic Party (DPP) and who is leading in opinion polls by varying margins, saying he is also a dangerous separatist. Both the DPP and Taiwan's largest opposition party the Kuomintang say only the island's people can decide their future.
Tsai cannot stand again after two terms in office. She will step down in May when the next president is sworn in.

World welcomes 2024 with New Year's fireworks, reflection and a royal farewell
Here's how places and people around the world bid farewell to 2023 and welcomed the New Year. AUSTRALIA - Sydney hailed 2024 with a dazzling fireworks display featuring silver and gold pyrotechnics to mark the 50th anniversary of its famous Opera House.
The world welcomed 2024 with a mix of celebration and somber reflection.
Sydney sparkled under a shower of silver and gold fireworks commemorating the 50th anniversary of its iconic Opera House, while the mood in Gaza remained bleak, with residents more concerned with survival. In Europe, Denmark's Queen Margrethe II announced her abdication after over half a century on the throne. Here's how places and people around the world bid farewell to 2023 and welcomed the New Year.
AUSTRALIA - Sydney hailed 2024 with a dazzling fireworks display featuring silver and gold pyrotechnics to mark the 50th anniversary of its famous Opera House. GAZA - People in Gaza had little hope that 2024 will bring much relief after 12 weeks of Israel's war to eliminate Hamas. In Rafah on Gaza's border with Egypt, which has become the biggest focal point for Palestinians fleeing other parts of the enclave, people were more preoccupied on Sunday with trying to find shelter, food and water than with thinking about the New Year.
"In 2024 I wish to go back to the wreckage of my home, pitch a tent and live there," said Abu Abdullah al-Agha, a middle- aged Palestinian man whose house in Khan Younis was destroyed and who lost a young niece and nephew in an Israeli air strike. DENMARK - Denmark's Queen Margrethe II used her annual New Year's speech on Sunday to announce that she will abdicate on Jan. 14 after 52 years on the throne and will be succeeded by her eldest son, Crown Prince Frederik.
RUSSIA - Russian President Vladimir Putin, facing an election in March, made only passing reference in his New Year address on Sunday to his war in Ukraine, hailing his soldiers as heroes but mostly emphasising unity and shared determination. CHINA - China President Xi Jinping, speaking on Sunday in a televised speech to mark the New Year, said the country will consolidate and enhance the positive trend of its economic recovery in 2024, and sustain long-term economic development with deeper reforms.
TAIWAN - President Tsai Ing-wen said that maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the responsibility of both sides. NORTH KOREA - North Korea vowed to launch three new spy satellites, build military drones and boost its nuclear arsenal in 2024 as leader Kim Jong Un said U.S. policy is making war inevitable, state media reported on Sunday.
Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to further develop relationship of cooperation between the two countries in New Year messages exchanged on Monday, South Korea's Yonhap news reported, citing North Korea's state radio. THE VATICAN - At his Sunday prayers, Pope Francis said: "I wish everyone a peaceful end of the year, and please do not forget to pray for me".
FRANCE - French President Emmanuel Macron in a televised address ahead of New Year celebrations said 2024 would be "the year of our French pride" marked by the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games and the reopening of Notre-Dame cathedral after a devastating fire. GERMANY - Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in his traditional year-end address that 2023 held "so much suffering and bloodshed," but promised "we in Germany will get through this."
Police on Sunday detained three more suspects in an alleged Islamist plot to attack Germany's famed Cologne Cathedral on New Year's Eve. The alleged attackers had planned to use a car to attack the 800-year-old Gothic cathedral, Cologne police said.
BRITAIN - London ushered in the New Year with the bongs of its famous Big Ben bell, fireworks and a display of news highlights that featured King Charles' coronation. UNITED STATES - In New York, tens of thousands of revelers are gathered in Manhattan's Times Square to wait for the lighted ball to drop at midnight, after scheduled performances by musicians including Megan Thee Stallion and LL Cool J.
President Joe Biden said in an interview ahead of the ball drop that he hoped celebrants realized "we're in a better position than any country in the world to lead the world." (Compiled by the Global News Desk; Editing by David Holmes, Jason Neely, Mark Porter and Lisa Shumaker)

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar owns assets worth Rs 1.64 crore, according to his latest public disclosure.
According to details of the assets of the chief minister and his cabinet colleagues posted on the Cabinet Secretariat Department's website on Sunday evening, Kumar has Rs 22,552 in cash, and deposits of Rs 49,202 in different bank accounts.
He also has a Ford Ecosport car worth Rs 11.32 lakh, two gold rings and a silver ring worth Rs 1.28 lakh, and other movable assets such as 13 cows and 10 calfs worth Rs 1.45 lakh, a treadmill, an exercise cycle and a microwave oven.
The only immovable property that he has is an apartment in Dwarka in New Delhi, which cost him Rs 13.78 lakh in 2004, and is now worth Rs 1.48 crore.
Last year, Kumar had declared total assets of Rs 75.53 lakh. A comparison of the two disclosures showed that the jump in the value of assets was primarily due to the rise in the worth of his Delhi apartment.
Kumar's government has made it mandatory for all cabinet ministers to disclose their assets and liabilities on the last day of every calendar year.
Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav declared a total income of Rs 4.74 lakh for the 2022-23 financial year. His elder brother Tej Pratap, who is also a minister in the state government, has assets worth Rs 3.58 crore.

Manipur CM expresses concern over attacks on state forces
A delegation will also be going to Delhi soon to meet the central leaders in this regard, he said on X.
- Country:
- India
Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has expressed concern over the attacks on state forces and said that a delegation will soon go to Delhi to meet central leaders and apprise them of the situation.
Singh's statement came in the wake of five state police commandos injured in a attack at the border town of Moreh in Tengnoupal district on Saturday. They have been airlifted to Imphal and admitted to hospital.
Taking to X, Singh said ''The unprecedented attacks against the state forces in the recent times have become a serious national security threat. While the state and central security forces are actively engaged in maintaining control over the situation, it is also imperative for the combined security forces to adopt a robust and comprehensive approach to deal with these elements, who are relentlessly attempting to destabilise the state of Manipur.'' The CM held a meeting with BJP state president A Sharda Devi, ministers, MLAs and party leaders on Sunday and discussed the situation with them.
Singh said a delegation will also be going to Delhi soon to meet the central leaders to apprise them about the situation in Manipur.
''Joined a high-level meeting of @BJP4Manipur in presence of Smt @AShardaDevi Ji, President BJP Manipur Pradesh, Hon'ble Ministers, Hon'ble MLAs and party karyakarta to deliberate on a stringent approach to deal with elements who are hell bent on destabilising Manipur. A delegation will also be going to Delhi soon to meet the central leaders in this regard,'' he said on X.

The Science Behind How Defrosting Trays Work
Defrosting is a major part of the cooking process, especially when it comes to meat. And while there are some foods you can cook straight from the freezer, a handy gadget called a defrosting tray promises to expedite the process and get your completed meal to the dinner table in no time at all. Defrosting trays are small rectangular boards you can place on your kitchen counter. They're designed to quickly thaw different types of meat thanks to their ability to efficiently conduct heat. That means that heat moves from one section of the board to another at a rapid pace, which helps with the defrosting process.
Most defrosting trays can thaw a piece of meat in one hour or less, although the time required can depend on the brand of tray you use. It also depends on the size of the meat you're defrosting, as well as how hot the thawing tray is prior to you using it. For instance, some manufacturers recommend placing the tray under a stream of hot water for a faster thaw time. Regardless of the brand, all defrosting trays consist of materials that offer a high rate of thermal conductivity.
It's all about the material
Most defrosting trays are frequently made of aluminum or copper. That's because these metals are known for their heat conductivity, meaning they distribute and release heat freely, as opposed to retaining it within the material. This is not the case with something like cast-iron cookware, such as cast-iron skillets, which will remain hot for much longer than aluminum or copper cooking implements would, even after you cease applying heat to them.
Conversely, consider what happens when you expose a thawing tray to room temperatures. The temperature of the tray quickly increases to match the ambient temperature of a room while also dispersing heat to any meat resting on it. In theory, the tray should facilitate faster thawing of meat, more so than simply leaving meat to rest at room temperature without the assistance of the tray. Keep in mind that the size and thickness of the meat can play a role in the outcome and potential food safety issues.
Are defrosting trays actually safe?
The USDA recommends three methods when you want to thaw food safely. If you want to defrost something quickly, the microwave is a good choice, provided you finish cooking the food soon after you thaw it. Placing food inside a sealed bag and submerging the bag in cold water is another effective method, although it can take three hours or longer. Placing frozen food in the refrigerator overnight is also acceptable from a food safety perspective.
Thawing trays can pose some safety issues, however, if the food is exposed to room temperatures for more than two hours. In the event you're defrosting an especially thick cut of meat, a thawing tray may place your food within the "danger zone," meaning that the food will be exposed for too long to temperatures ranging between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit without cooking.
In this case, the risk of foodborne illness increases, which can cause pretty serious effects in people. If you're concerned about food safety risks, it may be best to avoid defrosting trays and instead stick with safe defrosting methods when preparing dinner for yourself and your loved ones. | https://www.thedailymeal.com/1481420/defrosting-tray-food-safety/ | 2024-01-01T04:37:32Z |
Brazil's president to undergo 3rd operation linked to assassination attempt
22:14, 28 January 2019
BRASILIA. KAZINFORM - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro entered a Sao Paulo hospital on Sunday for pre-surgical procedures to prepare him for an operation this week to remove the colostomy bag that he has been using since an attempted assassination last September, EFE reports.
The 63-year-old Bolsonaro, who visited the area affected by a mining accident in Minas Gerais state on Saturday, arrived at Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital with his wife, Michelle, and a delegation headed by Security Cabinet Chief Minister Augusto Heleno Ribeiro and several advisers. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/brazil-s-president-to-undergo-3rd-operation-linked-to-assassination-attempt_a3492573/ | 2024-01-01T04:37:32Z |
Fifty years ago in Chile, the United States worked to end the presidency of an elected Marxist and, in turn, helped usher in an authoritarian right-wing dictatorship.
During the ensuing 17-year rule of Gen. Augusto Pinochet, more than 3,000 people would be disappeared or killed and some 38,000 would become political prisoners — most of them victims of torture.
The brutality in Chile, thousands of miles away, would have repercussions back in the U.S.
When the U.S. role in Chile's democratic collapse became known, activists took action. So did lawmakers. In effect, the coup in Chile led to human rights concerns and Congress taking on a larger role in U.S. foreign policy.
In America, the coup of Sept. 11, 1973, "galvanized public opinion in a way that no other activity, no other coup, no other military dictatorship in Latin America did," says Joe Eldridge, a longtime human rights advocate who was in Chile when it happened. "It was the suddenness, the abruptness in a country that had a long tradition of honoring democratic governance. Chile galvanized, it crystallized in the minds of so many, what was wrong with U.S. foreign policy."
But first, it's necessary to explain what happened. What follows is a history of what led the U.S. to have a hand in the coup, how it occurred, and what happened afterward.
The campaign against Salvador Allende
The U.S. had been meddling in Chile's politics for years by the time 1973 rolled around. U.S. interventions in Latin America go back more than a century.
During the mid-20th century, the Cold War shaped much of policymakers' thinking. Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution in Cuba alarmed Washington about communism and threats of Soviet influence in the Western Hemisphere.
U.S. officials were especially concerned about Salvador Allende, a self-proclaimed Marxist and a member of Chile's Socialist Party who ran for president multiple times and was a leading contender in the 1964 election. He had pledged to nationalize the mostly U.S.-owned copper companies, a large industry in Chile.
The U.S. spent massively on anti-communist propaganda and support for Allende's opponent in 1964. The influence proved effective: Allende lost.
But Allende ran again in 1970. Richard Nixon was now the U.S. president and Henry Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs. They perceived Allende as a threat to U.S. interests and as a friend of the Soviet Union. (Allende's campaign did receive $350,000 from Cuba, according to CIA estimates, and at least $400,000 from Moscow, according to one book on the history of the KGB's foreign operations.) Kissinger was especially concerned about the example it would set for Western European countries to have a socialist freely elected.
In the months before the election, the U.S. spent hundreds of thousands on a "spoiling operation," much of it propaganda aimed at preventing Allende from taking power. International businesses, most notably International Telephone and Telegraph, were involved as well, passing funds to Allende's main opponent.
Still, Allende narrowly won in a three-way contest in early September 1970. Under the constitution at the time, the decision then went to Chile's Congress to vote between the top two finishers.
Nixon instructed top U.S. officials to do whatever they could to prevent Allende from taking office.
In addition to continued propaganda efforts, the CIA met with Chilean military contacts in a direct effort to foment a coup to stop an Allende presidency. A top general who opposed a coup was killed in a kidnapping plot.
The CIA's efforts failed, however, and Allende was sworn in on Nov. 3, 1970. What followed were more attempts to shore up opposition. The U.S. spent $8 million on covert actions between 1970 and the 1973 coup, according to a 1975 Senate report. U.S. officials also backed economic measures to squeeze Allende's government.
"That was the policy of the United States: to make it difficult for him to successfully govern," says Peter Kornbluh, the director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, a nonprofit research group that works to bring secret government documents to light. "The invisible blockade, the cutoff of international monetary aid and assistance, stifling loans from the World Bank and the [Inter-American Development Bank], cutting off export credits from the United States, obviously pouring money into the militant pro-coup opposition and expanding contacts with the Chilean military. And, of course, the one that the CIA thinks really helped set the stage for the coup was the El Mercurio project," he says.
El Mercurio, a large Santiago daily newspaper opposed to Allende, received at least $1.5 million from the CIA. (A former CIA officer in Chile downplayed the influence the agency had on the paper's editorial line.)
The U.S. was not the only reason for the coup
It's important to note that Chile was politically polarized. Allende took office having only won just over a third of votes. The Congress was deadlocked.
In the Allende years, "the far left mobilizes. The far right mobilizes," says Peter Siavelis, a professor of political science and international affairs at Wake Forest University who has studied Chile extensively. "Inflation starts to soar. The CIA funds the most important truckers union and the truckers were on strike. There's blockades. This is where the shortages come in. Food and basic necessities are not delivered and people are waiting in line. And a generalized sense of sort of chaos, polarization. ... The military increasingly sees that there's no way out of this situation except for a military coup."
The Senate report, from the committee led by Idaho Sen. Frank Church, found no evidence that the U.S. was "directly involved, covertly" in the 1973 coup. But the U.S. "probably gave the impression that it would not look with disfavor on a military coup. And U.S. officials in the years before 1973 may not always have succeeded in walking the thin line between monitoring indigenous coup plotting and actually stimulating it."
Kissinger himself told Nixon five days after the coup: "We didn't do it. I mean we helped them. [Word missing] created the conditions as great as possible."
A violent operation begins against leftists
On the morning of Sept. 11, 1973, the military launched a coup and took control of the country. Military jets bombed the presidential palace. Allende killed himself after giving a final defiant address to the country.
Gen. Augusto Pinochet, the army chief once thought to be loyal to Chile's constitution, soon emerged as the country's new leader. The military junta began a ruthless campaign against communists and socialists.
"There's a state of siege declared. Political parties are outlawed. Universities are shut down. And a process of widespread arrest of political opponents begins to take place," Siavelis says.
People are tortured and killed in detention centers across Chile, including Estadio Nacional, the national stadium. Victims included the popular folk singer Victor Jara.
"This sense of fear, the sense of everybody being in danger, was palpable," says the writer Ariel Dorfman, who was a cultural adviser to Allende's chief of staff.
Joe Eldridge, an American, was in Chile at the time as an elder of the United Methodist Church.
"People were disappearing right and left from my neighborhood. Friends of mine were disappearing and I was afraid I was going to disappear," he says. "The morgue was filled. Bodies were floating down the Mapocho River."
Tens of thousands went into exile, mostly in Europe, with some in the U.S. and Mexico.
Eldridge left two months after the coup. "I came back full of fury and indignation at the United States," he says.
The U.S. role is questioned
Back in the U.S., news of Pinochet's atrocities began to spread via Chilean exiles and human rights activists. The journalist Seymour Hersh wrote articles in The New York Times in late 1974 exposing the CIA's role.
Kissinger, meanwhile, let the Chileans know early on that the U.S. was "favorably disposed" to the junta.
"The United States turned around [from] pursuing a policy to prevent Allende from consolidating to a policy of actively assisting Pinochet to consolidate. Notwithstanding the bodies in the street, the torture, the disappearances," Kornbluh says. He says documents show Kissinger was the "dominant policymaker on Chile."
Kissinger's office did not respond to NPR's requests for an interview.
Vanessa Walker, a history professor at Amherst College, says the coup, which came at a particularly volatile time in American politics, served as a catalyst for the modern human rights movement.
The movement for racial equality, Watergate and the disastrous conclusion of the Vietnam War were fresh in the American public's mind in the mid-'70s. There was "a real sense of apprehension about presidential power in particular and the government more generally," she says. "Cold War paradigms of fighting communism wherever you meet it are really starting to lose credibility in light of the Vietnam War. And so when Chile happens and then the subsequent reports of U.S. involvement in Chile come out, it really calls into question a lot of the fundamental premises of U.S. foreign policy for many people."
Activists and Congress take action
Now in Washington, Eldridge and a whole network of activists were committed to stopping U.S. military aid to the Chilean dictatorship.
Nixon had increased various forms of bilateral aid to Chile after the coup. Members of Congress began to take notice.
Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts held hearings about the situation in Chile. He introduced amendments to cut off aid.
Congress "cut off military assistance first, the grant aid. Then it cut off lending, the military finance program. And then it cut off commercial sales of military lethal weapons to Chile," says Mark Schneider, who was a foreign policy adviser to Kennedy.
As a result of what's called the Kennedy Amendment in 1976, U.S. arms sales and military aid to Chile were banned. (Separately, Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act in 1974 halted security assistance to governments that abuse human rights, but this measure has rarely been used.)
Together with reaction to the Vietnam War, the coup in Chile helped bring about a period where lawmakers looked to have a greater influence in U.S. foreign policy, especially with respect to human rights. Ted Kennedy, Minnesota Rep. Don Fraser and others were "trying to check executive power in foreign policymaking and bring Congress back to the table," Walker says.
Chile became part of a larger congressional investigation of U.S. intelligence services after another report by Seymour Hersh in The New York Times, this time about the CIA spying on anti-war activists in the U.S. The Church committee's work in 1975 and 1976 "makes Chile part of a larger pattern of behavior," Walker says. It "reinforces this idea that you have this government who is kind of unhinged from American values or even interests, that you're backing these repressive, anti-democratic regimes when you say you're fighting for democracy."
Congress' emphasis on human rights also helped lead to the creation of a new bureau in the State Department in 1977: the Bureau of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs. The bureau, boosted in prominence by President Jimmy Carter, would be in charge of writing regular reports about human rights conditions in other countries.
Exiles kept the spotlight on Chile
Chilean exiles did what they could to raise awareness and support human rights back home. In the U.S., there were notable communities of exiles in California, New York and Washington, D.C.
"Everybody was trying to work, you know, either supporting the Chilean movement and also trying to bring awareness in the Congress and the Senate," says Soledad Labarca, who was living in the D.C. area after being kicked out of a university in Chile over her support for the Allende government. She and other activists supported soup kitchens in Chile; organized concerts; tried to drum up attention with the United Nations and Organization of American States (OAS); and helped new exiles with adjusting to their lives in the U.S. They worked to support the families of the detained and disappeared.
Dorfman, the writer, lived in Europe for several years before moving to the U.S. in 1980. The estimated 200,000 Chilean exiles around the world tended to be members of "a very educated elite" and had an outsize impact in their host countries, he says. "We're talking about very major cultural, intellectual figures and political figures who go into exile and who have this enormous influence on the policies of these countries."
A central figure among the exiles pushing for democracy back home was Orlando Letelier. He was an ambassador to the U.S. in Allende's government. After the coup, he was taken prisoner along with other Allende administration officials and sent to Dawson Island, a remote concentration camp. He was released under international pressure and came to work at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C.
Agents working under the orders of Pinochet planted a car bomb that exploded on Sept. 21, 1976, at Washington's Sheridan Circle — an act of state-sponsored terror in the heart of the U.S. capital by a U.S. ally. Letelier and his co-worker Ronni Moffitt were killed.
The Carter and Reagan years
Letelier's assassination loomed large over the Chile policy of Jimmy Carter, who came into office in 1977 emphasizing human rights in foreign policy. The assassination plot was traced back to the high levels of the Pinochet government. Carter pushed for the extradition of three officers involved in the plot, but Pinochet had no intention of complying.
In response, the Carter administration implemented sanctions in 1979. By this time, Chile had already become a pariah on the diplomatic world stage, with condemnations from the U.N. and the OAS.
Pinochet expected a friendlier attitude when Ronald Reagan came into office in 1981. But after some initial overtures toward the dictatorship, within a few years, the Reagan administration concluded Pinochet had to go.
"Rather than an anti-communist bulwark, [to U.S. officials] the ageing dictator appeared to be more of an impediment to long-term stability," writes history professor John Bawden in a paper on the history of U.S. military aid to Chile.
Many were especially horrified by the military's killing of a young photographer, Rodrigo Rojas, in 1986. The 19-year-old Washington, D.C., resident had returned to Chile, where he was born. During a street protest, he was beaten and set on fire along with 18-year-old engineering student Carmen Gloria Quintana. They were dropped in a ditch outside Santiago, left to die. Rojas died of his injuries days later; Quintana survived and was severely disfigured.
Rojas' mother, Verónica De Negri, was living in Washington and was banned from returning to Chile. Dorfman says he was one of the people who helped facilitate her return to see her son in the hospital before he died.
"I was in touch with the U.S. Embassy that was very active in that case," he says. "You could already see the change in the way in which the U.S. Embassy was acting. Instead of being supportive of Pinochet, as they had been for many, many years, they were outraged by this."
But the Reagan administration considered its options for influencing Pinochet to be limited. Military aid was still cut off.
Pinochet had backed the creation of a new constitution in 1980, in part to legitimize the military government. That same constitution now required a plebiscite that was held in 1988: "Yes" or "No" to more years of Pinochet in power. Thanks to the work of Chilean opposition groups and the "No" campaign's messaging, he lost.
Pinochet's loss paved the way for democracy to return to Chile in 1990, though he still held influence over the country's politics for years after.
Dorfman maintains that Chilean exiles and a solidarity network played a prominent role in supporting the opposition all those years — particularly with money.
"The money kept people alive," he says. "They kept clandestine presses going. They kept trade union movements going. They kept youth movements going. They kept cultural movements going."
Without the network, he says, "I think we would not have been able to stop Pinochet."
Pinochet died in 2006 at age 91 having avoided trials for medical reasons.
The legacy of the Chilean coup at 50 years
Chile was far from the only place where the U.S. had either sponsored a coup or meddled in another country's politics. But it was the exceptional violence of Pinochet's government, the coup's timing during the Vietnam War and the unique influence of Chilean exiles that all made the coup particularly well-known in the canon of U.S. interventions abroad.
Another factor is that conversations between top officials were well-documented — and many of those documents have been made public with the help of Kornbluh and the National Security Archive. The U.S. was "caught red-handed," Kornbluh says.
And for its part, Chile has had an outsize role in world history, Siavelis says.
It was among the first countries to democratically elect a Marxist leader. "It was the first country that really had as open a neoliberal economy as it had. Its democratic transition was lauded as an exemplar democratic transition," he says. It predated South Africa in its truth and reconciliation commission.
A council is now working on a new constitution to replace the one dating to the dictatorship. Voters rejected a previous effort last year.
"I do think that there's something there about the uniqueness of this country and its democratic experiments that it's had over the last 50 years," Siavelis says. "And that provides a lot of lessons for other countries in the world."

Canned Fruit Liquid Is The Perfect Base For A Flavorful Syrup
For use in everything from coffee to cocktails to cookies, flavored syrup is exceedingly useful to have in the kitchen. These sweet elixirs add life and lift to your dining and drinking experiences and can be customized for any occasion.
Making a flavored syrup can be a bit of a process, though, when you're using fresh fruit. Picking out, cleaning, and preparing the fruit for its transformation takes time, and the produce can get pricey. Fortunately, there's a way to simplify this situation and even make good use of what might otherwise go down the drain.
When you use canned fruit for anything, from cheesecake topping to a salad mix-in, you're left with a pourable product that can prove very valuable. That's because what's left at the bottom of your empty jar is full of potential, and with just one additional pantry staple and a few minutes, you'll have a brand-new ingredient that makes a whole lot of your favorite foods far more exciting: a flavorful, versatile syrup in a snap.
Mixing up your flavored syrup
Making your syrup requires only the liquid leftover from your canned or jarred fruit and standard granulated white sugar. In terms of process, what you need is more of a ratio than a recipe as a springboard, and you can adjust the formula from there.
A good starting point is a two-to-one ratio, meaning 1 cup of liquid to ½ cup of sugar. You'll need to measure out the liquid you have on hand after you're finished with your fruit, and then you can calculate your required sugar. Combine these two elements in a saucepan and simmer them together over medium heat. As your liquid evaporates, it will thicken into a sweet, drizzle-able consistency that's packed with taste.
Check the viscosity and flavor levels by tasting the syrup. Just remember to let it cool somewhat first to preserve your tongue. The temperature will also impact the finished product, since it will thicken as it cools. For more sweetness, you can add sugar. If your syrup is too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of water. And if it's not quite thick enough, simmer it a little longer to reduce it further.
How to use your flavored syrup
Once you have your base syrup ready, you can be creative with how you put it to use and get inventive with additions. Personalize your syrup with spices like cinnamon, cardamom, clove, or even chili for a kick. Add herbs for brightness, like mint or basil.
With your perfect syrup, go forth and experiment. Swap your new creation for the classic simple syrup in cocktails like an old fashioned or any drink that relies on a dose of liquid sugar. But these syrups are tailor-made for customized mocktails, too, like a fruity fauxjito. For more nonalcoholic options, you can even use a flavored syrup to make homemade soda by topping it off with seltzer, or spike your coffee or tea with a little something sweet.
Of course, given their natural sweetness, flavored syrups make an obvious addition to a dessert spread. Drizzle one over ice cream, or use it as the base for a milkshake or float. Pour it on shaved ice for the personalized snow cone of your dreams in the summertime. Use it to moisten cake, or steep juniper berries in your syrup and use it to create a gin and tonic cake with a fruity twist. A flavored syrup makes a fantastic gift that will not only be impressive but also super useful. Include a tag with a few suggested applications or recipe ideas, and this upcycled present will surely sweeten someone's day. | https://www.thedailymeal.com/1481432/canned-fruit-liquid-uses-syrup/ | 2024-01-01T04:37:38Z |
Blizzards with wind gusts up to 75 mph Tuesday could topple trees and power lines, and bring whiteout conditions that make travel “difficult to near impossible,” the National Weather Service said. Blizzards happen when blowing snow and sustained strong winds combine for at least three hours and reduce visibility to a quarter-mile or less.
“Widespread travel disruptions are likely across the region,” the weather service warned, adding that the storm will continue to impact a large swath of the north-central US through Tuesday.
Parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming are under blizzard warnings Tuesday.
Residents were cautioned to avoid travel, but if they must be on the road, to bring survival kits and stay in their vehicles in case they get stranded.
The storm was hitting parts of the region Monday, and driving conditions were “rapidly deteriorating across the state,” the Nebraska State Department of Transportation said that day.
Cars were colliding and sliding off roads Monday in Nebraska, where tractor-trailers jackknifed and got stuck on eastbound Interstate 80 near York in the morning and early afternoon, the Nebraska State Patrol said.
The heaviest snowfall was seen Monday across the border of the Dakotas, stretching north over parts of I-94. While snowfall was beginning to weaken across I-90 on Monday afternoon, visibility was dropping as snow continued to blow over the roadway.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol responded to several crashes in Watertown as ice and snow blanketed roadways.
“Please slow down, don’t use your cruise control, and always wear your seatbelt. Snow plows are out, please give them room to work,” the South Dakota Highway Patrol urged residents.
Snowfall of 1-2 inches per hour was possible in some areas, the weather service said Monday afternoon. More than 12 inches likely will have fallen from south-central South Dakota into northern Nebraska by storm’s end, according to the weather service.
In parts of the northern Plains, a mix of sleet and freezing rain could fuel scattered power outages, and make for dangerously icy roads and sidewalks, forecasters said.
The storm will gradually weaken by Tuesday night, but a “wintry mix is likely to persist into Wednesday” across portions of the northern Plains and upper Midwest, the weather service said.

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers had no issue whatsoever on Sunday night in Minneapolis.
Now, they hold their playoff fate in their own hands.
Love and the Packers rolled to a dominant 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday night to close out Week 17 of the season. The win kept Green Bay’s playoff hopes alive headed into next week’s finale in Wisconsin, where the Packers have to win to make it in.
The Packers got the jump on Sunday night, and took advantage of an early mistake from rookie quarterback Jalen Hall — who the Vikings opted to start in place of Nick Mullens this week. Hall, after going three-and-out on the opening drive, was picked off on just his second pass attempt of the game. That set up a perfectly-thrown 33-yard touchdown from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed, and gave the Packers an early 10-0 lead.

Then, after holding the Vikings to just a field goal, Love completed a diving 2-yard touchdown run to give Green Bay a 17-3 lead just before halftime.
The Packers then scored once more before halftime after Preston Smith forced a fumble in the final minute of the second quarter. Love hit Reed again in the middle of the field, and Reed broke up the left sideline and forced his way into the end zone for his second score of the game. That gave Green Bay a 23-3 lead at halftime.

Love went 14-of-21 for 180 yards and had three total touchdowns in the first half.
The Vikings benched Hall for Mullens in the second half, though that wasn't much better. He did lead the Vikings down into the red zone on his opening drive of the third quarter, but the Packers stopped them on fourth down and took over.
Love then mounted an eight-minute drive and hit a wide-open Bo Melton in the end zone, which put the Packers up 30-3. From there, the Vikings were way too far out of it. Green Bay held on to grab the 23-point win, which brought them back to .500 on the season.
Mullens went 13-of-22 for 113 yards and had a touchdown in the second half for the Vikings. Ty Chandler had 40 rushing yards on 10 carries, and Justin Jefferson led the team with 46 yards on three catches. The Vikings’ lone touchdown of the day came after Najee Thompson recovered a botched punt return to start the fourth quarter, which set up a 6-yard score to Johnny Mundt.
Love finished throwing 24-of-33 for 256 yards with three touchdowns. Aaron Jones had 121 rushing yards on 20 carries, and Melton had 105 yards on six catches. Reed had 89 receiving yards with his two touchdowns, but he was ruled out in the second half with a chest injury.
Packers need to beat Bears
Though the Detroit Lions have already won the NFC North, the Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive after Sunday night’s win. They now just have to beat the Chicago Bears next weekend at Lambeau Field to earn a wild-card spot, which would bring them back into the postseason for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
The Vikings weren’t eliminated from playoff contention, but their path to the postseason won’t be easy. They’ll have to beat the Lions, and then both the Packers and the Seahawks have to lose, and then either the Buccaneers or Saints have to lose, too.
The Bears have all-but been eliminated from the playoffs already. Everything would have to go right for them next week in order to make it in. They are, however, on a bit of a hot streak. The Bears have won four of their last five games, and are fresh off a dominant 37-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The only loss in that stretch was to the Cleveland Browns, where they fell by three points after a botched Hail Mary.
The Packers will enter that contest in Green Bay on a two-game win streak. While last week’s three-point win over the lowly Carolina Panthers likely didn’t do much to reassure fans, Sunday night’s dominant showing should certainly help. If the Packers lose, that opens the door for either the Seahawks or the Saints to sneak into the postseason.
Regardless, the Packers did what they needed to. They won't have to rely on anybody else. | https://www.wdbo.com/news/national/jordan-love-packers/KUHQC24IIWZBTPXQOWZFDFXOMQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:37:43Z |

A tense situation unfolded in the Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh after some unidentified persons vandalised state health Minister Vidadala Rajani's office. However, acting swiftly, the police launched a search operation to nab those responsible.
Pattabhipuram sub-inspector Vijay said, "In the midnight hours of Sunday, unidentified persons vandalised health minister Vidadala Rajani's office in Chandramouli Nagar, and a case has been registered. An investigation is underway." Andhra Pradesh Health Minister Rajani was scheduled to inaugurate the new party office today.
Meanwhile, eight people were arrested for allegedly gang-raping a 16-year-old minor girl in Andhra's Visakhapatnam, police said on Sunday. According to DCP Srinuvas, they carried out their investigation based on a missing complaint received on December 18 by the parents of the minor.
"Based on a complaint received by the minor girl's parents on December 18, we registered a missing case on the same day and started an investigation. We received information that she was in Odisha. Immediately our police team went there and brought her back on December 25," DCP Srinivas said. "We have registered a case under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act and have arrested 8 people. Efforts to nab other accused involved are underway," he added. (ANI)

A California law that bans people from carrying firearms in most public places will take effect on New Year's Day, even as a court case continues to challenge the law.
A U.S. district judge issued a ruling Dec. 20 to block the law from taking effect, saying it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones.
But on Saturday, a federal appeals court put a temporary hold on the district judge's ruling. The appeals court decision allows the law to go into effect as the legal fight continues. Attorneys are scheduled to file arguments to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in January and in February.
The law, signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, prohibits people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos.

The ban applies regardless of whether the person has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. One exception is for privately owned businesses that put up signs saying people are allowed to bring guns on their premises.
“This ruling will allow our common-sense gun laws to remain in place while we appeal the district court’s dangerous ruling," Newsom posted to X, formerly Twitter, after the appeals court acted Saturday. "Californians overwhelmingly support efforts to ensure that places like hospitals, libraries and children's playgrounds remain safe and free from guns.”
The California Rifle and Pistol Association sued to block the law. When U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney granted a preliminary injunction blocking the law, he wrote that the law was “sweeping, repugnant to the Second Amendment, and openly defiant of the Supreme Court.”
Carney wrote that gun rights groups are likely to succeed in proving it unconstitutional, meaning it would be permanently overturned.
The law overhauls California’s rules for concealed carry permits in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, which set several states scrambling to react with their own laws. That decision said the constitutionality of gun laws must be assessed by whether they are “consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
Newsom has said he will keep pushing for stricter gun measures.
Newsom has positioned himself as a national leader on gun control while he is being increasingly eyed as a potential presidential candidate. He has called for and signed a variety of bills, including measures targeting untraceable “ghost guns,” the marketing of firearms to children and allowing people to bring lawsuits over gun violence. That legislation was patterned on a Texas anti-abortion law.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta appealed Carney's decision. Bonta, a Democrat, said that if the district judge’s ruling to block the law were allowed to stand, it “would endanger communities by allowing guns in places where families and children gather.”
The California Pistol and Rifle Association’s president, Chuck Michel, said in a statement that under the law, gun permit holders “wouldn’t be able to drive across town without passing through a prohibited area and breaking the law.” Michel said criminals are deterred when law-abiding citizens can defend themselves. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/california-law-banning-most-firearms-in-public-is-taking-effect-as-the-legal-fight-over-it-continues/3301005/ | 2024-01-01T04:37:45Z |
The top prize up for grabs during the next drawing on Wednesday has a lump sum option of an estimated $344.7 million, according to Powerball’s website.
No one has won the Powerball jackpot on Christmas Day since 2013, when a ticket in Missouri won a $71.5 million jackpot, according to a Powerball news release.
The numbers drawn Monday were 5, 12, 20, 24, 29 and Powerball 4.
While no one won the jackpot Monday, several tickets matched the first five numbers to win big prizes.
Tickets in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania won $1 million each. A similar ticket in California won about $2.08 million, that state’s lottery system said. Non-jackpot prizes in California depend on number of winners and ticket sales, and will differ from fixed prizes shown on Powerball’s site.
Two tickets sold in Colorado and Georgia, won $2 million prizes because their player included the Power Play feature, according to Powerball’s website.
The Powerball jackpot was last won on Oct. 11, when a ticket in California won a $1.765 billion grand prize. Since then, 32 consecutive drawings have been held without a jackpot winner.
The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9, but the odds of scoring the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, Powerball says.

The Minnesota Vikings are making yet another change at quarterback.
Nick Mullens has replaced rookie Jaren Hall to begin the second half on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers.
Mullens started the previous two games but was benched after throwing a combined six interceptions in those contests.
Hall struggled to the tune of 5-of-10 passing for 67 yards, an interception and a woeful 32.1 QB rating in the opening half, which ended with the Vikings trailing, 23-3.
Minnesota had just five first downs in the first 30 minutes of play.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell, who's started Hall, Josh Dobbs and Mullens since Kirk Cousins was lost for the season to an injury, is hoping to ignite his offense and making another switch under center. | https://www.nfl.com/news/vikings-nick-mullens-replaces-jaren-hall-at-qb-versus-packers | 2024-01-01T04:37:49Z |
JACKSON, Miss. — (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won't choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
In response to plaintiffs' saying they do not feel represented by the chief justice or attorney general, Wingate wrote that they failed to prove they had ever complained to local officials or that local officials had been open to listening.
“Further, had the local officials been so obliging, this court is mystified why Jackson’s system of criminal justice is in the deplorable shape it is in, with an overcrowded docket requiring defendants to jettison any notion of a speedy disposition,” Wingate wrote.
NAACP attorneys intend to appeal the ruling.
Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office will continue to defend the law and “perform our duties to help protect the people of Jackson from stifling, suffocating crime that plagues the city,” chief of staff Michelle Williams said Sunday.
The state law creating the new court also expands the patrol territory for Capitol Police. The state-run police department previously patrolled near state government buildings in downtown Jackson, but the new law added other parts of the city, including more affluent residential and shopping areas.
In September, the Mississippi Supreme Court struck down the part of the same law that would have required the state chief justice to appoint four circuit judges to serve alongside the four elected circuit judges in Hinds County. The county includes Jackson and is also majority-Black and governed by Democrats.
Justices wrote that longstanding Mississippi law allows the chief justice to appoint some judges for specific reasons, such as to deal with a backlog of cases. But they wrote that “we see nothing special or unique” about the four appointed Hinds County circuit judges in the 2023 law, “certainly nothing expressly tethering them to a specific judicial need or exigency.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s two largest cities are violating a new state gun law by prohibiting them from public places such as parks, according to two recent lawsuits.
The Liberty Justice Center filed lawsuits Dec. 18 challenging executive orders issued by the mayors of Omaha and Lincoln. The lawsuits allege that the orders are in violation of a new state gun law. The suits were filed on behalf of the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association.
State lawmakers in April passed a bill allowing people to carry concealed guns across the state without a permit and without the need to complete a gun safety course. It also said that it overrides stricter local laws, like those in Omaha and Lincoln.
The lawsuits state that despite the new law, Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert and Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird issued executive orders banning all firearms from city property, including parks and sidewalks. The suits said the Omaha City Council also banned “ghost gun” parts and manufacturing, and the Lincoln City Council has not repealed ordinances regulating weapons.
Jacob Huebert, president of the Liberty Justice Center, said the state law is direct: Local governments can’t regulate firearms.
“The mayors of Omaha and Lincoln have defied state law with their executive orders, and we look forward to seeing those orders and other city firearms regulations struck down,” Huebert said in a statement.
Yohance Christie, Lincoln’s city attorney, said in a statement that actions taken by the city “to protect the safety and quality of life of our residents and visitors are in compliance with the law.”
Omaha City Attorney Matt Kuhse told the Omaha World-Herald that the state law allows cities to prohibit concealed firearms “on the premises and places under its control with conspicuous notice.”
Kuhse said the city “will defend this lawsuit and defend the ability of municipalities, such as Omaha, to protect the safety and health of its citizens within the bounds of the law.”
The lawsuits were filed days after Nebraska Attorney General Michael Hilgers published an opinion stating that state law preempts executive orders from the mayors. The opinion also stated that the executive orders violate residents’ Second Amendment rights, and are in violation of the Nebraska Constitution.

Carbon fiber may be engineered into a battery: study
The study published in this week's Science Advances reported the way of creating carbon fibers that wouldn't only be structurally useful, but also functionally useful.
Carbon fibers, the thin hair-like strands of carbon, are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Liu Guoliang, a professor at Virginia Tech who led the study, said the carbon fibers could be designed to have tiny holes uniformly scattered throughout, similar to a sponge, that would store ions of energy.
Liu's team developed a process to make porous carbon fibers with uniform size and spacing for the first time.
Previously, chemists mixed two kinds of polymers separately into a solution, resulting in porous carbon fibers but with differently sized and spaced pores, making the energy storage difficult.
Liu bonded the two polymers into a block copolymer. "This is the first time we utilize block copolymers to make carbon fibers and the first time to use block copolymer-based porous carbon fibers in energy storage," Liu said.
The modified carbon fibers can be used to make car shells storing energy like a battery in the future, according to the researchers. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/carbon-fiber-may-be-engineered-into-a-battery-study_a3494430/ | 2024-01-01T04:37:53Z |

NEWSMAKER-Congo's Tshisekedi fights poll fraud accusations with 'spirit of openness'
Critics, however, said Tshisekedi had fallen short and accused him of stifling dissent, as his predecessors had done. A group of nine rival presidential candidates, including Fayulu and opposition frontrunner Moise Katumbi, asked supporters on Sunday to take to the streets to protest what they called a "sham election".
When Democratic Republic of Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi was declared the winner of another disputed election on Sunday, he pledged be a leader for all its 100 million people. However, accusations by opposition leaders of electoral fraud and political repression will likely cloud his second term as it did the first. His main rivals rejected Sunday's outcome before it was announced and called for a rerun.
Speaking to supporters at his campaign headquarters in the capital, Kinshasa, Tshisekedi appealed for unity. "It is with a spirit of openness that I'll govern during this second term," Tshisekedi told a jubilant crowd, adding that he would focus on creating jobs, security and a more diversified and competitive economy.
The result sets the stage for a tense political standoff with the potential for the kind of violence that followed contested polls in 2018, 2011 and 2006. There could also be international ramifications. Congo is the world's top supplier of cobalt, used in making batteries for electric vehicles and cell phones, and its third-biggest copper producer.
Tshisekedi, 60, son of longtime opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi, inherited his father's substantial support base on his death in 2017 after years in the shadows. However, vote tallies reviewed by Reuters at the time from Congo's Roman Catholic Church, which had a 40,000-strong team of observers, showed second-placed opposition candidate Martin Fayulu as the victor in 2018.
Fayulu suspected that Tshisekedi had struck a deal with outgoing president Joseph Kabila, who was prevented from running by term limits. Fayulu denounced the result as a "constitutional coup d'etat", which Tshisekedi and Kabila both dismissed. With Kabila's help, Tshisekedi was able to garner much-needed support in parliament and security institutions in his first years in office. But the alliance quickly fell apart as he moved to strengthen his hand by placing supporters in key positions.
'SHAM ELECTION' When he launched his campaign for re-election, Tshisekedi told supporters he needed more time to consolidate gains and deliver on promises to roll back decades of authoritarian rule, root out corruption, rebuild the economy, tackle inequalities and deal with a prolonged security crisis in Congo's east.
"In just two years we have been able to do all of these actions that you have seen, but we can do better," Tshisekedi told a packed Kinshasa stadium on Nov. 19, adding that his first two years in office were constrained by the power-sharing arrangement with Kabila. Critics, however, said Tshisekedi had fallen short and accused him of stifling dissent, as his predecessors had done.
A group of nine rival presidential candidates, including Fayulu and opposition frontrunner Moise Katumbi, asked supporters on Sunday to take to the streets to protest what they called a "sham election". While economic growth rose sharply under Tshisekedi's watch, largely due to demand for key minerals, little of the proceeds reached the around 62% of Congo's population who live on less than a dollar a day.
The cost of living soared as the Congolese franc depreciated, with annual inflation running at over 30% in December, according to the country's statistics institute. Although Tshisekedi declared a state of siege in two eastern provinces in May 2021 and increased defence spending, his administration struggled to contain the numerous armed groups behind attacks that have killed thousands of people and displaced nearly 7 million in the east.
In a worrying development, Corneille Nangaa, leader of a new alliance that includes rebels and political groupings in eastern Congo, rejected the election and vowed on Sunday to "march to Kinshasa". (Writing by Bate Felix; Editing by Alexandra Zavis and Nick Macfie)

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to recap an absolutely bonkers Week 17 of NFL action. The dynamic duo start off by highlighting some of the more intriguing games from the weekend, including the massive officiating blunder on Saturday night that potentially decided the NFC East in favor of the Dallas Cowboys, the Baltimore Ravens' dominating victory over the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles' tragic meltdown at the end of this season culminating in a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The duo also address David Tepper throwing a drink on a Jacksonville Jaguars fan during the Carolina Panthers' loss, and Fitz and Frank discuss what's a suitable punishment for an NFL owner – who should be held to an even higher standard than players and coaches.
Later, Fitz and Frank discuss each and every game from the Sunday slate, as they go back and forth on the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mason Rudolph impressing, the Chicago Bears and what to do with Justin Fields, the Denver Broncos' first game without Russell Wilson and much more.

A millionaire businesswoman and her son were named on Sunday as the two British holidaymakers were killed in a skiing tragedy in the French Alps.
The bodies of property tycoon Kate Vokes, 54, and son Archie, 22, were found by mountain rescuers after an avalanche hit a narrow gulley in an off-piste area near Saint-Gervais, Chamonix, on Thursday afternoon.
The avalanche on Mont Joly, which prosecutors believe may have been caused by cross-country skiers, also reportedly killed a hiker.
A manslaughter investigation has been opened.
Mrs Vokes and her son are understood to have been skiing with three other family members and a freelance ski instructor, French prosecutors said.

Inside the courtroom with Tim Clarke.
Find out moreTributes were last night paid to Mrs Vokes, one of the directors of a $1.8 billion family-run property firm based in Manchester and a major philanthropist.
Her son, a former pupil at the city’s $27,000-a-year Cheadle Hulme School – whose alumni include broadcasters Katie Derham and Nick Robinson – was a keen rugby player who had set up his own personal training business.
Last year, he achieved his level 1 ski instructor’s qualification in Canada. In a statement last night, a spokesman for the Vokes family said: “We are beyond heartbroken at the loss of our beloved, wonderful Kate and Archie.”
“Words cannot express how terrible we all feel nor the hole in our lives that has been left by this tragic accident.”
A source within Manchester’s business community said Mrs Vokes was “a lovely woman who was involved in many good causes” as well as being “hugely successful”.
Young Manchester, one of the charities where Mrs Vokes was a trustee, said last night: “We are heartbroken. We were lucky to work and laugh with her, a remarkable woman who will be dearly missed.”
Dr Carl Austin-Behan, Deputy Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, said he was “devastated”, adding: “Kate Vokes and her son Archie were both so beautiful; Kate was involved in so many organisations that have changed so many people’s lives.”
Mrs Vokes was a board member at Bruntwood, a $1.8 billion property business owning commercial sites around the Midlands, North West and Glasgow, which was founded by her father Michael Oglesby, who died in 2019 aged 80.
Her brother Chris Oglesby is chief executive of the business and was on the ski trip with his family – who are believed to have been staying at a chalet he owns.
Mrs Vokes, married to financier Philip, 56, and who also had a younger son Charlie, 20, had worked for Bruntwood since 2000, having previously been a buyer for Safeway supermarkets.
Mrs Vokes chaired the family’s $46.7 million philanthropic arm, the Oglesby Charitable Trust, and was a trustee of Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre.
There was no answer at Mr Oglesby’s chalet in the resort of Megeve, although a Land Rover with UK plates was parked outside.
However, a local bar owner told the Mail: “The family have been coming here for years skiing... I saw Chris on Saturday and he looked very upset; the whole thing is so sad and tragic.”
The tragedy struck Mont Joly at 3.30pm on Thursday when the avalanche warning level was two out of five, five being very high.
Mrs Vokes and Archie were found after a five-hour search involving two helicopters, some 20 rescuers, a doctor and two dog teams. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/disaster-and-emergency/french-ski-resort-avalanche-millionaire-mother-and-son-killed-in-avalanche-manslaughter-investigation-opens-c-13080623 | 2024-01-01T04:37:57Z |

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."

In a first, New Year celebrated at Lal Chowk
January 01, 2024 08:21

Braving sub-zero temperatures, hundreds of locals and tourists thronged the iconic Ghanta Ghar at Lal Chowk on New Year's eve in Srinagar.
As the Sun set over 2023 for the last time, the refurbished Ghanta Ghar square started to come alive with New Year celebrations.
While assemblies at Ghanta Ghar prior to 2019 were mostly protests or secessionist in nature, Sunday's gathering was different.
"This is for the first time we are having a New Year party in a public place. We used to have such parties earlier as well but those were limited to the elite class and organised behind closed doors of hotels," Aqib Ahmad, a 22-year-old city resident, said as he swerved to the tunes of songs played from the stage set up at Lal Chowk.
Until a few years ago, it was unthinkable to have a New Year party in a public place but things have changed now, he said.
"Everyone wants to have some entertainment in life. Look around and you will find people from all walks of life. You have people with conservative outlook and you have modern looking people too. They are all having a good time," he added.
Not only the city residents, Kashmiris from other parts of the Valley also descended on the summer capital to enjoy the New Year festivities.
"I was pleasantly surprised at the scale of the event organised in the city. Similar functions should be held in all district headquarters from next year," said Lateef Khatana, a resident of a remote village in Kokernag area of Anatnag district.
Khatana and his friends had travelled more than 100 kilometres to experience the 'first new year programme of Kashmir'.
Satish Kumar and his family had come from Delhi in the hopes of celebrating the new year in Kashmir.
"It is our first visit to Kashmir and to be honest we were disappointed at not finding much snow. However, this electric atmosphere has more than made up for that disappointment. We are feeling at home, though it is a little colder than Delhi here," Kumar said.
While the celebrations were being held with gusto, the authorities are not taking any chances as adequate security arrangements have been put in place to prevent any untoward incident.
A senior police official said law enforcing agencies are maintaining a tight vigil around Lal Chowk.
"We want to ensure that locals and tourists have a good time here and everyone takes back good memories from here," the official said. -- PTI | https://news.rediff.com/commentary/2024/jan/01/in-a-first-new-year-celebrated-at-lal-chowk/8b5e634ab8089b7185e6c3eabdac65ac | 2024-01-01T04:37:57Z |

Odisha BJP to focus on farmers, women, youth, students
The meeting was attended by BJP national general secretary organisation BL Santhosh, central observer Sunil Bansal and assistant observer Vijaypal Singh Tomar, he said.On Sunday Tomar asked the partys frontal organisations to focus on women, youth and students.We were asked to make people understand that the women self-help groups were mostly funded by the Centre and not the state government.
- Country:
- India
The BJP Odisha unit has decided to focus on farmers, women, youth and students in the state for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections to be held this year, a party leader said.
This was resolved in the three-day meeting attended by BJP leaders to decide the roadmap for the next elections. The meeting was attended by BJP national general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh, central observer Sunil Bansal and assistant observer Vijaypal Singh Tomar, he said.
On Sunday Tomar asked the party's frontal organisations to focus on women, youth and students.
''We were asked to make people understand that the women self-help groups were mostly funded by the Centre and not the state government. Though the BJP-led central government spent a lot, the state BJD government takes all credit. We will appraise the women the facts,'' BJP Mahila Morcha state president Aiswarya Biswal told reporters after the meeting.
This apart, the Mahila Morcha will also highlight the ''rising atrocities'' on women in Odisha.
The BJP has set a target on women voters as the ruling BJD's victory 'mantra' lies with the women self-help groups who have ensured the regional party's victory in subsequent elections in Odisha. There were about 70 lakh women who were members of different SHGs and they are used for the political benefits of the ruling party, she said.
Similarly, the meeting also resolved that the party would highlight on unemployment and youths migrating to other states in search of work due to lack of opportunities in the state.
The state BJP has also told its student members that the party would hold regular college union elections if it comes to power in the 2024 elections. The BJD government has stopped the college union elections since 2018.
In a press conference, BJP state unit president Manmohan Samal on Sunday said: ''If BJP comes to power in Odisha, all the people cheated by chit fund companies will get back their hard-earned money within 24 hours. We will return money to the poor investors by promulgating an ordinance.'' Samal said the BJP will also ensure that the farmer's income is doubled in Odisha and farmers get all the benefits from different programmes announced by the central government.
The Congress ridiculed the BJP's promises. OPCC president Sarat Pattnayak said: ''We have seen how the BJP government has deposited Rs 15 lakh in bank account of each family in the country by retrieving black money. The people have also seen how the BJP government provided employment to the youths. The BJP promises were never met in the past.'' BJD leader and MLA Padmanav Behera said: ''The people of Odisha will not be misled by the promises of BJP, They have seen how Naveen Patnaik government implements schemes for poor and needy people. The people will not believe in BJP's hallow promises.''

Five things I care about
The Ravens demonstrate their complete transformation
The Ravens took down the 49ers and Dolphins, two of the best operations in the league, by a combined 51 points in back-to-back weeks. They did it on the way to clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and vaulting their quarterback to the driver’s seat of the MVP conversation.
Statement wins don’t even begin to do this justice.
As MVP chants rained down all afternoon, Lamar Jackson predictably didn’t engage much and took a “job’s not done” approach in postgame interviews. Jackson and everyone affiliated with the Ravens don’t have their eye on MVP trophies or Week 17 wins. They want the Super Bowl, plain and simple. However, he entertained queries about the differences between this year’s Ravens and previous editions.
After the game, Jackson told Evan Washburn of CBS, “This year our guys stayed locked in,” when comparing Sunday’s win to the last time Baltimore and Miami went to battle. In 2022, the Ravens controlled the game but let it slip away in the fourth quarter as the Dolphins fired vertical shots over the top of the typically stout Ravens defense. Jackson emphasized that this group knows how to finish, something they’ve struggled with in recent seasons. They’ve proven they're different by keeping their foot on the gas and putting away top-tier teams the last two weeks.
That’s not the only way this year’s Ravens are wildly different than previous renditions. You need only look back one year ago today to spot the contrast.
It’s been such a breath of fresh air to watch the Ravens offense this year stocked with actual playmakers. In Week 17 last season, their two most productive WRs each had just one catch for nine yards. pic.twitter.com/VkxHEvoTIQ
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
Look at that box score from 2022's Week 17 loss and compare it with what you watched from the Ravens on Sunday. Lamar Jackson threw five touchdown passes and finished the game with a perfect 158.2 passer rating. The critical note: he activated multiple pass-catchers.
Zay Flowers finished the day with a mere three catches but those went for 106 yards and a score, the majority coming on a 75-yard deep shot with layers of YAC on top. Isaiah Likely scored twice, once on a 35-yard catch-and-run downfield play and another on a beautifully designed leak route near the goal line. Rashod Bateman and Jackson didn’t connect on a 40-plus-yard pass early in the game but the receiver put that behind him and finished with 54 yards and helped move the chains with consistent intermediate route running. Odell Beckham snared a contested catch on a go-route for 33 yards on his lone reception to move the team inside the five-yard line.
Even in the running back room, as Gus Edwards was thumping away, Justice Hill was a consistent source of big plays. He averaged 12.8 yards on his five catches and 16 yards on his three rush attempts. Not to mention a whopping 50.5 yards on his pair of kick returns.
The Ravens have never come close to being able to throw this many playmakers at an opponent. The 2022 Week 17 example is extreme but the lack of truly dangerous, much less multi-layered pass-catchers has haunted the Ravens with Lamar Jackson under center.
In one offseason, they’ve added some serious juice to the offense.
It’s important to note that, while guys like Flowers and Beckham are new faces, some of these players who are making a crucial impact are holdovers. That’s where the coaching change comes in. All of these players are being deployed in a unit with the ruthlessly creative Todd Monken at the controls. If the contrast in juice didn’t catch your eye, the night-and-day difference in the play design certainly should.
Awesome play design on this one https://t.co/IQ11jBstvr
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
As Jackson alluded, the job isn’t done. But as this Baltimore team marches toward their desired goals, they can do so with the confidence that they have the goods that older models didn't possess. They have all the makings of a great, modern NFL offense as they prepare for a postseason run. We don’t know how this journey will end for the 2023 Ravens but we know they’re far better prepared for the road than ever before.
The 49ers take care of business
The team that fell to the Ravens last week was able to shake off their Christmas day letdown in Week 17. The 49ers should beat a floundering Commanders team that was forced into starting the quarterback they tried to bench by double digits — and that’s precisely what they did.
As the defense created chaos on their side, Brock Purdy checked in with all his usual efficient marks. He averaged 8.2 yards per attempt and completed 78.6% of his passes. Purdy consistently connected with his top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk. A Washington defense that can’t cover a soul yet still rolls out more man-to-man than almost anyone in the league was always a plus matchup for Aiyuk.
Yet, it was the nature of their plays that mattered. Aiyuk made catches on out-breaking patterns, in tight coverage on go-routes and put the cherry on top with an improvisational touchdown when Purdy went into creation mode.
So many top-tier plays from Brandon Aiyuk today it’s hard to narrow it down to the best one but this improv play where he and Purdy go into creation mode to get a big window is pretty sweet
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
pic.twitter.com/nuUUs0IHYY
These types of plays simply weren’t present in pre-Purdy iterations of the 49ers offense.
The win did come at something of a cost, as so many fantasy managers are ready to tell you. Typically, I don’t feel bad for gamers when their RB1 touches the ball 18 times and records 91 total yards. When that player is Christian McCaffrey, I’ll allow a small touch of pity.
McCaffrey suffered what was announced as a calf injury in the second half of this game. Elijah Mitchell came in and ultimately helped close this thing out. He's one of the best backup runners in the league. There's no real replacing of McCaffrey and that will certainly be true when the competition gets much tougher than the Commanders.
That’s what makes wrapping up the NFC’s top seed in Week 17 so important, thanks to this win and a stunning Eagles loss. While McCaffrey’s fantasy season is over, his and the 49ers’ real pursuit of glory is just beginning. With the top seed all wrapped up, they can place McCaffrey on ice next week right before the whole team gets a bye during the Wild Card round. We should all — outside of fans of other NFC teams — be rooting for his total health, because as the Aiyuk-to-Purdy connection reminded us on Sunday, this offense is something we just haven’t seen before during a 49ers postseason run.
Jayden Reed
One of my favorite wide receiver prospects from the 2023 NFL Draft was now-Packers rookie, Jayden Reed. Sunday Night Football was just another example in a season’s worth of evidence for why I was so high on Reed. He’s quietly one of the most dynamic players in yet another great rookie class.
Jayden Reed isn't going to be a slot-only player for the Packers@MattHarmon_BYB on Reed's potential ceiling as a high impact player pic.twitter.com/mwYwl2bjd9
— Reception Perception (@RecepPerception) August 25, 2023
Jordan Love’s first pass of the game was a deep shot to Reed. It wasn’t the first time he looked for Reed in the vertical game as the two would later connect on a 33-yard post route. The more Reed shines in the deep game, the better off this Packers offense is. The best part of Reed’s game is that he’s multi-faceted. He can win on big-boy routes against press coverage (as the video above shows) but the Packers are comfortable working him in on designer plays underneath. His second touchdown of the day came on an explosive run-after-catch play after he ran a gorgeous route against man coverage.
I often said during the draft process that Reed was one or two tweaks away from being a high-level starting wide receiver. There are still some kinks Reed needs to work out in the contested-catch game but otherwise, as a separator and runner after the catch, Reed has made those leaps I wanted to see.
The Packers have drafted a lot of skill-position players the last two years. All of them look like they will be useful-to-very-good players in the league. With Jordan Love looking like a quality starter, we should be interested in all of them at different levels.
I said it when he was drafted and I’ll say it again: Reed will be the best of the bunch.
My only negative note from Reed’s rookie season is that he’s been dealing with many nagging injuries this season. He missed the second half of this SNF game after re-aggravating a chest injury he’s been nursing since Week 12. Part of Reed’s appeal is that he’ll handle the dirty work underneath and in the YAC game in addition to his special teams contribution. He’s going to take punishment in those areas. Hopefully, the Packers can work out how to keep him healthy for the long term and allow him to shine fully.
Jayden Reed has superstar potential. Plain and simple. He has the route chops, explosive ability and open-field instincts to be a deadly playmaker. Reed and Love’s connection is perfectly emblematic of the Packers' hyper-fast rebirth on offense. He will be right at the top of my fantasy targets for next season.
Rams cap off an all-time fantasy waiver run
In Week 17, the Los Angeles Rams locked up an NFC playoff berth and they couldn’t have done it without the impact of two unlikely young heroes. Kyren Williams ends the fantasy football season as the RB4 in Yahoo standard scoring in just two games (RB2 in points per game) and Puka Nacua finishes as the WR6.
You were a big-time winner if you went hard at them after Week 1 on waivers.
The Kyren Williams demolition tour, half-point PPR:
— scott pianowski (@scott_pianowski) December 31, 2023
- RB7, RB4, RB26, RB3, RB30, RB2. Missed four games.
- RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11, RB1 (in progress).
Not everyone could have drafted McCaffrey. Anyone could have FAABed Williams. Most impactful universally-available move.
This is purely anecdotal, but I ran into three to four teams in my own fantasy playoff runs that had both Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. I talked to multiple people who were facing the same type of squad while giving advice. It wasn't an utterly unseen stack. Imagine getting two elite-level difference-makers off the waiver wire.
That’s one way to push for a championship.
We might never see a situation like this again where two players from the same offense come off the waiver wire and finish as top-10 players. We can still learn two things here, however.
For one, if you can identify the value offense in fantasy football in the offseason, you gain a big edge. The Rams were not often discussed as this type of team but with a veteran high-end quarterback fully healthy in Matthew Stafford to elevate young playmakers and an elite-tier play-caller, they were a fantastic candidate.
Secondly, it pays to be aggressive with your FAAB early in the season. With the rest of the season waiting, it can be hard to blow it all right away. You know there will be some adds you can't even consider making down the line. However, we get some of our most valuable and most surprising revelations in Week 1. If you can adequately react to the correct information, you'll find true difference-makers worth unloading the wallet for early on. Those who went hard for Nacua and Williams are proof positive of profitable early aggression.
Mason Rudolph has been enough
Look, I said many stupid things about the ceiling of the Steelers offense. I overlooked a lot of potential pitfalls for the unit but it was because there was serious talent in the wide receiver and running back rooms. Those takes didn’t age well.
But I had no idea that Mason Rudolph was the guy we needed to get the offense unlocked.
I’m being a bit sarcastic, but there’s no denying that Rudolph has given the Steelers their most productive play behind center in 2023.
Games with 250+ passing yards this season
— Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) December 31, 2023
Mason Rudolph: 2-of-2 starts
Kenny Pickett: 1-of-12 starts
Rudolph has a passer rating north of 100 in back-to-back games. But more importantly, he’s been far more (wisely) aggressive than either of his predecessors.
In Week 17, Rudolph had a 2.8 time to throw and averaged 8.0 air yards per pass attempt. He’s willing to stand in under pressure and fire the ball downfield. George Pickens has come alive in the last two weeks. He recorded another 131 yards after taking over the game in Week 16. Even the customarily target-constricted Diontae Johnson hauled in multiple deep receptions against Seattle.
While I don’t think Rudolph is anything close to the answer for Pittsburgh’s future questions at quarterback, I at least owe him an apology for completely writing him off. He’s shined a light on the mercurial talent in this receiver room by simply giving them accurate chances downfield. At the very least, he’s served as a reason to be in on these wideouts again in 2024 if the Steelers are serious about upgrading the offensive coordinator and quarterback spot. For that reason alone, he’s been enough.
Five things I don’t care about
Previously-held limitations on CeeDee Lamb
Prior to 2023, there had been a general sense of “wanting more” from CeeDee Lamb’s statistical output. As this season winds to a close, those sentiments are ancient history.
On Saturday, he put on a complete and utter show against an overmatched Lions secondary. By the time the game ended, Lamb had locked up his spot as the Cowboys franchise leader in receptions (122) and receiving yards (1,651). He’s currently the top-scoring wideout in fantasy football.
Lamb was one of the right answers.
I have folks asking me if he should be in the Justin Jefferson tier in dynasty fantasy football — and even ranked ahead of the Vikings wideout. If you don’t play in that format, the gravity of that sentence may not hit but essentially Jefferson’s place atop the receiver rankings was nearly untouchable. Maybe I’m being a prisoner of the moment but I think it’s worth a conversation.
Lamb has more than graduated into the elite tier of NFL wide receivers. He’s among the best in the game and is a spectacular separator against every form of coverage at every level. Unlike Jefferson, I know for sure who will be throwing him the ball next season and can project his partnership with Dak Prescott for multiple seasons to come.
Final note on this: CeeDee Lamb made noise after the 49ers loss, stating that he wasn't getting enough work. It's hard to remember now but this Cowboys offense was not making him the focal point of the passing game to start the season and the on-field product was suffering. It was clearly an issue and the receiver called it out. His opportunity was not in line with his ability. Targets aren't just earned — they need to be assigned and Dallas wasn't doing a good enough job there. It was easy to see.
Said a lot of dumb things this season, I say a lot of dumb things every season, but charting CeeDee Lamb today and I feel really good about calling for the Cowboys offense to revolve around CeeDee right before Week 6...when they did exactly that and went on a tear. It was so… https://t.co/ila2y8pUeo
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 12, 2023
So let this serve as a reminder when we want to criticize receivers for making noise about their lack of opportunity. Sometimes, these guys are right and they can help their team win by getting more work. That’s especially true when said receiver is an obvious stone-cold baller who is almost always open like CeeDee Lamb. What an incredible season for the fourth-year receiver.
The Eagles' talent
A few weeks ago, in this very same column, my stance on the Eagles was that even if they were playing below their record while beating subpar teams, they’d eventually be fine because they have better players than most of their opponents.
At this point, my stance has well since changed.
The warning signs have been building for weeks. A Week 17 loss to the now 4-12 Cardinals that dramatically helps their NFC rivals sounds the panic alarms.
The Eagles offense had their moments. Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, including two to Julio Jones. They had an efficient day on the ground in a plus matchup. But they weren't perfect; they haven't been on that side of the ball all season. We know that's a massive issue for the Eagles at this stage of their season because the defense gives this team zero margin for error.
Kyler Murray became just the latest quarterback to tear apart the Eagles' pass defense. His 116.7 passer rating was easily his best since returning to the NFL field in early November. He hadn’t completed over 67% of his throws in any game. He checked in with 80.6% in Week 17. Murray had gone under 6.5 yards per attempt in all of his previous four games. The Eagles afforded him a 7.5 average.
Murray and the Cardinals found this level of passing success without their No. 1 receiver in Marquise Brown and their breakout tight end recording just 48 yards on seven targets. Eight Cardinals caught a pass against the Eagles. They could burn this defense in any such way.
Again, none of this is new. The Eagles' pass defense has been an issue all year long. The more troubling part is that the run defense has completely fallen apart as the season comes to a close.
James Conner became the latest bell-cow back to barrel through this front seven. He took his 26 carries for 128 yards and a score. Even backup running back Michael Carter averaged a whopping 8.7 yards per carry. The Eagles employ many proven veterans and several highly drafted players in the front four. And yet it was Arizona that controlled the line of scrimmage.
The Eagles defense is beyond a problem. It’s a key part of their identity and a crippling factor in their disappointing season. The offense has to cover for it and nothing that side of the ball has shown this season over the last two months gives you faith they can be that dominant of a group. And with No. 2 receiver DeVonta Smith leaving the game on crutches in a walking boot, that assignment is only going to get more complicated if he has to miss time.
Talent can trump all when that talent is available and playing to the height of its power. That just hasn’t been true of the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles.
Bucs offense when they’re off-script
Of course, the week I made a big deal about Baker Mayfield being my biggest miss of the 2023 season on the podcast, the Bucs laid an egg against an inferior Saints team at home. That said, I don’t think this offense is the biggest concern around this team. That would be the defense.
The Bucs can still win the NFC South if they merely beat the lowly Panthers next week. They should get the job done and overall, are still the best option to represent this division in the postseason. They have the most intriguing ceiling when the offense is cooking. There’s just next to no shot anyone can take them seriously against playoff-level competition with that defense.
Even if the Cowboys and Eagles, the two teams they’d likely face in Round 1 of the postseason, have their issues, both teams have the skill-position talent to rip apart that defense. Maybe with the serious concerns the Eagles are facing with their own stop unit the Bucs would have a chance to win in a shootout but it’s a stretch.
This Week 17 result was a reminder that when you can push the Tampa Bay offense behind the action by multiple scores in negative game script, you won’t get their best in return. Turnover creeps into Mayfield's game and what’s starting to develop into a solid run game with Rachaad White becomes irrelevant.
Justin Fields’ flaws
Justin Fields is not perfect. Anyone can see that. He takes too many sacks and isn’t always perfectly in rhythm in the underneath passing game.
I care about those flaws, but not enough to dissuade a quarterback-needy team that isn't in a position to take a top rookie prospect from a pursuit of the soon-to-be former Bears passer.
With the Panthers' loss today, Chicago officially netted the first overall pick in the draft. It’s nothing short of a coup to acquire a future first and for that pick to become the top selection. Twists of fate don’t always bend to this level of fortune. The Bears know that and will likely cash in that lottery ticket to restart the quarterback clock. Fields is a known commodity and the rookies are not but the upside of Caleb Williams or Drake Maye will be too enticing to pass up.
That will put Fields on the move and they can get a decent return for him. Sam Darnold was once traded for a future second-round pick and additional selections. This would be a similar type of swap out for young quarterbacks but Fields has been much better than Darnold was in New York to start his career.
Fields appears to be ending the 2023 season on a high note. As Week 17 comes to a close, he is second behind only Lamar Jackson in quarterback rushing yards despite only playing 12 games, and more importantly, he vaulted DJ Moore to a career season. Moore sits at 1,300 yards receiving and nine total scores, both career-high marks. Fields and Moore were excellent at slicing apart man coverage, an excellent signal for the passers’ future endeavors.
Fields isn’t the picture-perfect franchise solution for his next team but he’s some level of an answer. There will be teams out there that aren’t in range for a difference-making rookie who should come calling on Fields. Some of those teams will actually offer superior offensive line play, offense-centric coaching staffs and perhaps a deep set of wide receivers — the Bears got next to nothing from anyone beyond Moore — than what Fields experienced in Chicago.
The Jaguars win
I shouldn’t be so hard on Jacksonville. I often say that blowout wins can tell us something and great teams demolish bad teams. Well, the Jaguars indeed swept away the Panthers with relative ease. However, I’m not sure beating a team this deep into chaos, where their owner apparently throws drinks into a crowd, moves me much.
This video appears to show Panthers owner David Tepper throwing the contents of a drinking cup in the direction of (presumably) a Jaguars fan today. This is shocking. https://t.co/xv3du6hJlp
— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) December 31, 2023
Any good vibes Carolina enjoyed last week in an upset win while Bryce Young put up career-best passing numbers were quickly wiped away this week. Even if Jacksonville’s offense struggled to move the ball, the Panthers just went nowhere on their side. They officially sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Chicago Bears with Sunday’s result.
The Jaguars were able to get a big play out of the run game with Travis Etienne Jr. on a 62-yard touchdown scamper. That was a welcome sign for a team that’s struggled to run the ball for months. The run blocking has been a mess at times but much like the issues in the passing game, you can chalk up most of the issues to overall design. Etienne got out in space on this run, where he’s at his best. There just hasn’t been enough of that this season.
Press Taylor kept this guy under 4.0 YPC for an entire season https://t.co/t719vJDPIH
— Mario Puig (@ThePostingScout) December 31, 2023
At least he closed things out for his fantasy managers. His fantasy numbers have mostly been a mirage and not even close to indicative of the health of Jacksonville’s run game. Nevertheless, he rewarded gamers with a hammer shot in Week 17.
Given the matchup, I just struggle to put much stock into a new wrinkle like this. It would be great to see more of this from Jacksonville as they head into a postseason push. So, do it again. Go out and run on the Titans, who so often sell out to stop ground games, in Week 18. Make a statement before heading into the NFL playoffs — because doing it to the Panthers just doesn’t move the needle. | https://www.wdbo.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:38:01Z |

Creighton came within a few seconds of the Final Four last spring and has the type of roster that could make another deep run this season.
After a solid start to the season, the Bluejays have hit a few bumps in the road, losing two of their past three games to plummet down the AP Top 25.
No. 22 Creighton gets a big chance to get back on track Saturday at home against No. 10 Marquette.
“Any time you’re in a position in the Big East to beat a good team, it stings when you lose, especially when you did a lot of things right,” Creighton coach Greg McDermott said after the Bluejays’ 68-66 overtime loss to Villanova last week.
The Bluejays (9-3) opened the season with five straight wins before losing to No. 15 Colorado State at the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City. Creighton pulled out a solid win against Oklahoma State and crushed in-state rival Nebraska before losing to UNLV and Villanova dropped the Bluejays 10 spots in this week’s poll.
The Bluejays will certainly have their hands full with the Golden Eagles (10-3).
Marquette has an impressive list of wins, including No. 2 Kansas at the Maui Invitational, No. 21 Texas and UCLA. The Golden Eagles followed the Kansas win with a loss to top-ranked Purdue in Maui, lost to Wisconsin and opened Big East play with a loss to No. 25 Providence, which moved into the AP Top 25 for the first time this season on Monday.
Marquette is coming off a 30-point win over Georgetown.
ZAGS AND AZTECS
No. 13 Gonzaga has not been nearly as dominant in its nonconference schedule as it typically is, with three losses already.
The Zags get one last test before the West Coast Conference schedule starts on Friday, when they play San Diego State.
Gonzaga has a new-look roster this season, with several newcomers and All-American Drew Timme no longer in the middle. The Zags have wins over UCLA and Southern California, but also lost to top-ranked Purdue, reigning national champion UConn and Washington.
The Aztecs have had a solid follow up to their run to last year’s national championship game, entering Friday’s game 10-2. San Diego State lost to BYU early in the season and has won three straight since losing at Grand Canyon on Dec. 5.
The Aztecs started at No. 17 in the AP preseason poll and re-entered at No. 25 two weeks ago before dropping out after the Grand Canyon loss.
OWLS RISING
No. 7 Florida Atlantic has its highest ranking as a program this week, proving last year’s Final Four run was no fluke.
The Owls have nearly everyone back from that team and has two wins over ranked teams, including a gritty overtime victory over No. 4 Arizona last weekend in Las Vegas.
Florida Atlantic has one game this week and its against another team that made a memorable March run in recent years, Florida Gulf Coast.

Ukraine, Russia accuse each other of early New Year's Day attacks
Ukraine's shelling of the city of Donetsk in early New Year's Day hours killed three people, a Russian-installed official in the eastern region of Ukraine said, while Ukrainian officials said Russia launched another air attack at some of its regions. Seven people were also injured in "heavy shelling" by Ukrainian forces of the centre of Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, the Russian-appointed head of the broader Donetsk region of which the Donetsk city is the administrative centre, wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
Ukraine's air force said that Russia launched a new overnight air attack, targeting Mykolaiv, Odesa and Dnipro regions.

LAREDO, Texas — Customs officers seized narcotics with an estimated street value of $10.2 million at a border crossing between Texas and Mexico, authorities said.
According to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents seized the drugs at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo on Dec. 21.
A customs officer referred a 2001 Freightliner tractor hauling a utility refrigerated trailer with a manifest of a commercial shipment of cut flowers for secondary inspection, the news release stated.
During the inspection, officers discovered 164.72 pounds of alleged methamphetamine in powder form, 854.07 pounds of alleged meth in crystal form and 165.34 pounds of alleged cocaine.
Officials estimated that the drugs had a combined street value of $10,298,520.
Agents seized the narcotics, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure, the news release stated.
“CBP is proud of the work our frontline officers do to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities,” Alberto Flores, director at the Laredo Port of Entry, said in a statement. “This significant seizure is an example of ongoing operational efforts conducted daily to protect our borders.” | https://www.wdbo.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:38:08Z |
America's Top New Year's Resolutions For 2024
Bidenomics...
Planning to save more money is top of mind for many Americans making resolutions for 2024.
As Statista's Anna Fleck highlights, this is a notable shift. Where in previous years the vows to exercise more, eat healthier and lose weight had come in top positions, now the financial goal has leapfrogged them to become the most commonly cited resolution this year.
This is according to data from a Statista’s Consumer Insights survey.
You will find more infographics at Statista
Slightly further down the list came the goal of reducing stress from work and spending less time on social media (both 19 percent), while less popular resolutions included cutting down on alcohol (13 percent) and becoming a vegetarian or a vegan (3 percent).
In a similar vein to saving more money, one in four U.S. adults said they wanted to reduce their spendings on living expenses such as food and energy in the coming year.
Looking further into U.S. savings habits, data from an earlier Statista survey found that in 2022, the three areas most commonly cut back on in times of high inflation and rising energy costs were contracts and subscriptions (66 percent), purchasing clothes (42 percent) and visiting bars, cafes and restaurants (39 percent). | https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/americas-top-new-years-resolutions-2024 | 2024-01-01T04:38:12Z |

Ram temple chief priest on why Uddhav is 'not invited'
January 01, 2024 08:49
Reacting to the remarks made by Shiv Sena-Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray chief Uddhav Thackeray that he has not received invitation for the inauguration event of Ayodhya's Ram Temple, Acharya Satyendra Das, Chief Priest at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple on Sunday said that invitations have been extended only to those who are 'devotees of Lord Ram'.
Speaking to ANI, Acharya Satyendra Das said, "Invitations are only extended to those who are devotees of Lord Ram. It is totally wrong to say that BJP is fighting in the name of Lord Ram, our PM is respected everywhere. He has done immense work under his tenure. This is not politics. This is his devotion."
Acharya Satyendra Das also lashed out at Shiv Sena-UBT leader Sanjay Raut on his remarks "BJP is left now to announce Lord Ram as their candidate".
"Sanjay Raut has so much pain that even he can't express that, they were the ones who used to fight elections in the name of Lord Ram. Those who believed in Lord Ram are in power, what nonsense he is talking about? He is insulting Lord Ram," the chief priest said.
Earlier, Raut lashed out at the BJP amid the hoopla around the Ram Temple opening in Ayodhya next month, saying that it will seek votes in the name of Lord Ram ahead of the Lok Sabha elections next year. -- ANI | https://news.rediff.com/commentary/2024/jan/01/ram-temple-chief-priest-on-why-uddhav-is-not-invited/0b394e269e00b8f551666c6498a31819 | 2024-01-01T04:38:11Z |
Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers had no issue whatsoever on Sunday night in Minneapolis.
Now, they hold their playoff fate in their own hands.
Love and the Packers rolled to a dominant 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday night to close out Week 17 of the season. The win kept Green Bay’s playoff hopes alive headed into next week’s finale in Wisconsin, where the Packers have to win to make it in.
The Packers got the jump on Sunday night, and took advantage of an early mistake from rookie quarterback Jalen Hall — who the Vikings opted to start in place of Nick Mullens this week. Hall, after going three-and-out on the opening drive, was picked off on just his second pass attempt of the game. That set up a perfectly-thrown 33-yard touchdown from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed, and gave the Packers an early 10-0 lead.

Then, after holding the Vikings to just a field goal, Love completed a diving 2-yard touchdown run to give Green Bay a 17-3 lead just before halftime.
The Packers then scored once more before halftime after Preston Smith forced a fumble in the final minute of the second quarter. Love hit Reed again in the middle of the field, and Reed broke up the left sideline and forced his way into the end zone for his second score of the game. That gave Green Bay a 23-3 lead at halftime.

Love went 14-of-21 for 180 yards and had three total touchdowns in the first half.
The Vikings benched Hall for Mullens in the second half, though that wasn't much better. He did lead the Vikings down into the red zone on his opening drive of the third quarter, but the Packers stopped them on fourth down and took over.
Love then mounted an eight-minute drive and hit a wide-open Bo Melton in the end zone, which put the Packers up 30-3. From there, the Vikings were way too far out of it. Green Bay held on to grab the 23-point win, which brought them back to .500 on the season.
Mullens went 13-of-22 for 113 yards and had a touchdown in the second half for the Vikings. Ty Chandler had 40 rushing yards on 10 carries, and Justin Jefferson led the team with 46 yards on three catches. The Vikings’ lone touchdown of the day came after Najee Thompson recovered a botched punt return to start the fourth quarter, which set up a 6-yard score to Johnny Mundt.
Love finished throwing 24-of-33 for 256 yards with three touchdowns. Aaron Jones had 121 rushing yards on 20 carries, and Melton had 105 yards on six catches. Reed had 89 receiving yards with his two touchdowns, but he was ruled out in the second half with a chest injury.
Packers need to beat Bears
Though the Detroit Lions have already won the NFC North, the Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive after Sunday night’s win. They now just have to beat the Chicago Bears next weekend at Lambeau Field to earn a wild-card spot, which would bring them back into the postseason for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
The Vikings weren’t eliminated from playoff contention, but their path to the postseason won’t be easy. They’ll have to beat the Lions, and then both the Packers and the Seahawks have to lose, and then either the Buccaneers or Saints have to lose, too.
The Bears have all-but been eliminated from the playoffs already. Everything would have to go right for them next week in order to make it in. They are, however, on a bit of a hot streak. The Bears have won four of their last five games, and are fresh off a dominant 37-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The only loss in that stretch was to the Cleveland Browns, where they fell by three points after a botched Hail Mary.
The Packers will enter that contest in Green Bay on a two-game win streak. While last week’s three-point win over the lowly Carolina Panthers likely didn’t do much to reassure fans, Sunday night’s dominant showing should certainly help. If the Packers lose, that opens the door for either the Seahawks or the Saints to sneak into the postseason.
Regardless, the Packers did what they needed to. They won't have to rely on anybody else. | https://www.wmmo.com/news/national/jordan-love-packers/KUHQC24IIWZBTPXQOWZFDFXOMQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:38:12Z |

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Southwest Florida man is accused of attempting an abduction of a 4-year-old boy at a Walmart, authorities said.
According to Lee County Sheriff’s online booking records, Pablo Pintueles Hernandez, 64, of Lehigh Acres, was arrested Friday and charged with false imprisonment of a child 13 years old and under.
Surveillance video posted to the sheriff’s office Facebook page showed Pintueles Hernandez appearing to walk up to the child, grabbing his wrist and attempting to walk away with the boy, WINK-TV reported.
The video showed family members intervening and pulling the child away, WBBH-TV reported.
Analysts and deputies said they used advanced technology to identify and locate Pintueles Hernandez, WINK reported. Deputies responded to the suspect’s residence within an hour of viewing the footage, according to the television station.
“What this criminal did is incredibly disturbing,” Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement. “I never want anyone in Lee County to feel unsafe, especially going on a simple shopping trip. My team will stop at NOTHING to ensure criminals like this face the consequences of their actions.”
Pintueles Hernandez is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 29, court records show. | https://www.wdbo.com/news/trending/man-accused-trying-kidnap-4-year-old-boy-walmart/BHCFQABRXZCRTKSQP3JXBIR4VQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:38:15Z |
Influential former Texas US Rep Eddie Bernice Johnson dies at 88
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.

Trailblazing longtime US Representative 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.
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.
''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.
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 "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.
Johnson was born in Waco and grew up in the segregated South. Dallas' once-segregated Union Station was renamed in her honour 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."
