Long Islanders follow their River of Dreams to see Billy Joel at UBS Arena
Long Islanders welcomed back their favorite local Big Shot at UBS Arena on Sunday night.
The New Year’s Eve performance marks Billy Joel’s first Long Island concert in five years and his first ever at the Elmont venue. Especially for fans who regularly visit UBS Arena to see the New York Islanders, the milestone concert was a must-see.
Amy Zaum, 62, from West Hempstead and Laura Zelenak, 56, of Freeport, are season pass holders for the Long Island hockey team and longtime Billy Joel fans. The pair had been at UBS Arena just two days earlier for the Islanders game against the Washington Capitals.
"I've been to all the milestones so far — the last concert at the Coliseum, the last concert at Shea, New Year's Eve after 9/11 at Madison Square Garden, and now his first concert here," said Zaum, who estimated she has been to around a dozen Billy Joel concerts.
Erin Harrison, 43, from Miller Place, at Sunday night's concert with her teenage son, said her family is a huge fan of both the Islanders and Billy Joel. Although it was not her first Billy Joel concert, it was her son's.
"So because it was at UBS, we were like hells yeah, we're going to go see him on New Year's," she said. "We love it here, we go to a lot of games."
And the concert wasn't only for Long Islanders.
Heather Brady, 44, of Shirley, who arrived with her family around 6 p.m. for the 9:30 p.m. concert, said she spoke with concertgoers from Nebraska.
"He's the hard core [fan], this is his Christmas present. We figured before [Joel] retires, we'd get him to a concert," said Brady, gesturing to her husband, Joe Brady, 39, who has been a fan "forever."
Father-daughter duo David Wennberg, 53, and Magdalena Wennberg, 20, drove from upstate Schenectady for their first Billy Joel concert together since 2017.
David Wennberg, who was born in Oceanside and wore an Islanders jersey, said obtaining tickets became a priority after Joel announced he would end his residency at Madison Square Garden.
"This is the hometown show," he said. "I was fortunate to then get tickets ... It was a bonus that it's New Year's Eve."
The Piano Man’s last Long Island performance was in 2018 at the Nassau Coliseum, also for a New Year’s Eve gig, and his first in 25 years on the island that raised him.
Joel, 74, announced in June that he would end his 10-year residency at Madison Square Garden in July 2024, after his 150th career performance at the arena, to spend more time with family.
In addition to his Garden residency, Joel has been playing stadiums co-headlining with Stevie Nicks on their “Two Icons” tour, which will continue into the new year. | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/billy-joel-concert-ubs-arena-j3bshcs6 | 2024-01-01T04:39:42Z |

Charity group needs funds to help woman who fosters more than 50 dogs
The charity organization is looking to buy a few eight-bay kennels.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Focus on Cumberland County Animal Safety (FOCCAS), a charity organization, said they need help raising funds to get a few eight-bay dog kennels for a woman who houses more than 50 dogs.
According to FOCCAS, Jan Hendrixson already owns 11 permanent “unadoptable” fur babies at her home. In addition to the 11, she houses more than 40 long-term fosters which have been at her home for more than four years.
FOCCAS said a kennel, like the eight-bay, would help facilitate and manage a more organized environment for both the dogs and the volunteers at the foster home.
According to a listing on LSN.com, the kennels cost around $10,000 each.
FOCCAS has helped foster, vet, and get more than 250 animals to local homes in the northeast and the Michigan area.

Former world number one Naomi Osaka makes winning return to action
Osaka beat Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6 in the first round of the Brisbane International after 15 months off the court.
Naomi Osaka made a winning return to tennis as she beat Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6 in the first round of the Brisbane International.
The former world number one has not played since withdrawing from the Pan Pacific Trophy with a knee injury in September 2021. She became a mother for the first time in July.
She returned to the court in style, breaking Korpatsch to love in the first game and did not face a break point as she clinched the first set in 39 minutes.
Osaka looked set for a routine victory when she broke for a 5-3 lead in the second set, but Korpatsch fought back to take it into a tie break – Osaka winning 11-9 on her third match point.
“The last couple of years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” Osaka said on court after the match. “I feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter.
“I just really appreciate people coming out and knowing me and cheering for me because I feel like there was a time I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play.
“So it feels really surreal sometimes to be playing on these courts.”
The former US Open and Australian Open will meet Karolina Pliskova, another former world number one and a three-time champion in Brisbane, in the second round. | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2024/01/01/former-world-number-one-naomi-osaka-makes-winning-return-to-action/ | 2024-01-01T04:39:42Z |

Colorado mom wanted for killing 2 of her children arrested in United Kingdom
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - A mother wanted in connection with the deaths of two of her children has been arrested in the United Kingdom, according to police.
Colorado Springs Police say Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody without incident.

North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military’s preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea’s official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim’s offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted more than 100 missile tests, prompting the U.S. and South Korea to expand their joint military drills. North Korea has also tried to strengthen its relationships with China and Russia, which blocked efforts by the U.S. and its partners in the U.N. Security Council to toughen U.N. sanctions on North Korea over its weapons tests.
KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year’s Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties. North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North’s military programs.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

Judge allows new court in Mississippi's majority-Black capital, rejecting NAACP request to stop it
JACKSON, Miss. — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won't choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
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.” | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/mississippi-capitol-complex-court-ruling-d72577 | 2024-01-01T04:39:48Z |

A Look Back: 2023 in Sports
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - Another year has come and gone in East Mississippi and West Alabama, and with that, let’s take a look back at some of the biggest and best sports stories WTOK covered in 2023.
Another season of high school football and Football Friday have come and gone.
The games, the atmospheres, the athletes, the coaches and so much more made this year in high school truly special.
The Newton County Academy Generals reached the state championship this year
The Union Yellow Jackets reached the North State Championship in 2A, after a great season on the gridiron.
Meridian’s own do-it-all-himself man, Daniel Hill, helped lead the Wildcats to a playoff berth in the first year of 7Afootball. Hill will also be participating in the All-American Bowl on NBC on January 6. He also plans to announce where he will continue his football career, as he will decide between Tennesee, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi State.
The Johnathan Webster era began for the East Central Warriors. He helped lead the Warriors to a 4-5 record this year, 3 more total wins than they had in 2022.
In Scooba, The East Mississippi Lions avenged two first-month losses on their way to back-to-back MACCC championships. They had another appearance in the NJCAA National Championship. Quarterback, Ty Keyes, raked in several awards including Offensive Player of the Year Honors, and was named to the All-American First Team. Coach Buddy Stephens and the Lions will make a run at three straight MACCC titles in 2024.
Coach Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are in the College Football Playoff, but it wasn’t an easy path to get there. The Tide dropped their second game to the Texas Longhorns. Quarterback, Jalen Milroe, was benched before the game against South Florida, but he earned the job back next week, and then they ran the table through the SEC beating Ole Miss, Tennessee, LSU, and clinched another SEC West Title. The Tide beat the Georgia Bulldogs, winners of 29 straight games and two straight national titles. Now they are looking for Coach Saban’s eighth national championship in Tuscaloosa. They can take the next step towards that with a win against Michigan on Monday at 4 p.m.
The Ole Miss Rebels capped off their 2023 season with a win, their eleventh of the year. That was good enough for most in school history. With Saturday’s Peach Bowl win over Penn State, the Rebels are set up well heading into next season. They will bring back a ton of returners, a nice high school recruiting class, and the best transfer portal class in all of college football. Expectations will be high for Lane Kiffin and his Ole Miss Rebels, but in the new look SEC, and with an expanded playoff, Ole Miss should be sitting pretty in the postseason next year, if they build off this year.
2023 was a rough year and rough season for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. After the loss of Mike Leach, it was going to be hard for whoever replaced him to have success. Zach Arnett was let go in mid-November. Greg Knox served as the interim. The Bulldogs finished 5-7, ending their consecutive bowl-game appearance streak. However, there is hope to be had in Starkville. Zac Selmon hired one of the best offensive minds in college football in Jeff Lebby, who is an incredible recruiter. It will be interesting to see how Lebby fares in his first season in Starkville and as a head coach in 2024.
The West Lauderdale Knights baseball team made it all the way to the State Championship, before falling to the Purvis Tornadoes. However, it was an excellent season. They have some young guns coming up, so we’ll see if they can make it back to the Championship and win it in 2024.
For the softball program, the Knights were one of the most dominant teams in 4A, as they run-ruled North Pike to clinch the state title. Pitcher Mabry Eason, threw a no-hitter to clinch the Title, And hit a home run.
A historic and magical career came to an end in 2023, as Scott Berry’s time at Southern Miss came to an end. The Golden Eagles lost to the Tennessee Vols in the Super Regionals, but Coach Berry’s legacy will live on forever, as the former MCC baseball coach was one of the most successful coaches in all of college baseball during his time in Hattiesburg.
On the volleyball court, we had a local team capture a State Championship as well. The Newton County Cougars, after playing in one of the toughest divisions in all of volleyball, captured their State Championship back in October.
Finally, several of our student-athletes will continue to live out their dreams as they move on from high school. Congratulations to all of our athletes who signed this past year.
We can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store down here in East Mississippi and West Alabama.
Happy New Year!

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

Owners of XL bully dogs will need to ensure their pets are legal as new rules come in.
From today (December 31), the dogs must be muzzled in public and it will be illegal to breed, sell or abandon them. Advertising, gifting and exchanging the pups will also be banned, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said.
The Government reminded owners that they can ask a vet to put their pets down and claim compensation. Chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss said: "Owners should read the guidance and ensure they are ready to comply with the new rules, which includes keeping your XL bully dog muzzled and on a lead in public from December 31.

“From February 1 2024, it will also be a criminal offence to have an XL bully in England and Wales unless you have applied for an exemption. Please do not risk leaving it to the last minute if you want to keep your dog, you should apply now for a certificate of exemption.
“We recommend a precautionary approach – if you are unsure if your dog is an XL bully or whether any puppies may grow up to be of this dog type, you should comply with the relevant requirements and restrictions.”
The full ban will come into place on February 1, meaning owners have just over a month to apply for an exemption certificate to keep their dogs, or face potential criminal proceedings and an unlimited fine.
To qualify for an exemption certificate, owners must prove their XL bully has been neutered by June 30. If the pup is less than a year old by January 31, they must neutered by the end of 2024, and evidence must be provided.
As well as neutering their animals, XL bully owners seeking an exemption must also pay an application fee, hold active public liability insurance for their pets and ensure the dogs are microchipped. The measures were introduced after a rise in dog attacks over recent years.
Until 2021 there were about three deaths a year, but there have since been 23. People with dangerously out of control dogs can be jailed for 14 years and banned from owning animals, and their pets can be put down.

Djokovic leads Serbia to a 2-1 victory over China on his return to Perth. US also wins in United Cup
- Country:
- Australia
Making a triumphant return to Perth after a decade, Novak Djokovic led Serbia to a 2-1 win over China at the United Cup.
Djokovic, playing in the western Australia city for the first time since the 2013 Hopman Cup, beat Zhang Zhizhen 6-3, 6-2 and then teamed up with Olga Danilovic to clinch the decisive mixed doubles 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 against Zheng Quinwen and Zhang in the Group E match.
Zheng, who beat reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in her opening United Cup match, had leveled the match 1-1 when she outplayed Danilovic 6-4, 6-2.
Djokovic needed just 74 minutes to beat Zhang as he converted three of the seven break points.
"It's great to be back in Perth," Djokovic said afterward. "New Year's in a few hours so I really appreciate you coming to hopefully celebrate New Year's Eve with us here on the court. It's been 10 years since I've been in Perth, and this arena is definitely one of the nicest, from inside and outside, that I've played in." Djokovic said he felt a bit rusty early against Zhang and a "little bit out of rhythm" because of not playing a match for over a month.
"It obviously takes a little bit of time to get the engines going and he was serving well," he said. "I think the serve was great on my part, whenever I needed to get myself out of trouble, at 15-15 or 30-30 in my service games, I found a good serve.'' China routed Czech Republic in its first match 3-0, but after Sunday's win Serbia is also in with a chance to advance.
Earlier, former U.S. Open finalist Leylah Fernandez led Canada to a 2-1 victory over Chile in Sydney in its tournament's opening match.
Fernandez defeated Daniela Seguel 6-3, 6-2 before Nicolas Jarry leveled the Group B tie for Chile by beating Steven Diez in straight sets in Sydney.
Diez had replaced Felix Auger-Aliassime who was rested with a minor knee issue.
Fernandez and Diez then clinched the deciding mixed doubles against Seguel and Tomás Barrios Vera 7-5, 4-6, 10-8 to seal the tie for the Canadians.
"I'm extremely happy with the way I played," Fernandez said after her win over Seguel. "It wasn't the greatest match because it is my first match of the season, the nerves, but I'm extremely happy with the way that I was able to manage it." In Perth, Great Britain's Katie Boulter stunned fifth-ranked Jessica Pegula of the United States in Group C, rallying from a set down to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The Americans drew level when Taylor Fritz defeated Cameron Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4 to force a deciding mixed doubles match.
Pegula and Fritz then combined for victory over Boulter and Neal Skupski 1-6, 7-6 (4), 10-7 that sealed the tie, 2-1, for the defending champions.
The Americans will qualify for the quarterfinals if they win their final match against Australia. All three teams still have a chance of qualifying if Australia beats the U.S. in the last group match.
Mixed teams from 18 countries are playing in Perth and Sydney in what doubles as a warmup for the Australian Open. The format is a men's and women's singles and a mixed doubles.

North Korea's Kim orders military to 'thoroughly annihilate' US, South Korea if provoked
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military's preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea's official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim's offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted more than 100 missile tests, prompting the U.S. and South Korea to expand their joint military drills. North Korea has also tried to strengthen its relationships with China and Russia, which blocked efforts by the U.S. and its partners in the U.N. Security Council to toughen U.N. sanctions on North Korea over its weapons tests.
KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year's Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties. North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia's war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North's military programs.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan. | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/north-korea-kim-us-missiles-nuclear-y23296 | 2024-01-01T04:39:54Z |

NEW ORLEANS — Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram each scored 26 points and the New Orleans Pelicans beat the road-weary Los Angeles Lakers 129-109 on Sunday night.
Los Angeles was coming off a 108-106 loss at Minnesota on Saturday night, while New Orleans was off two days after beating Utah at home Thursday night.
LeBron James scored a 34 points and former Pelican Anthony Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds, but they didn’t get enough help as the Lakers lost for the seventh time in nine games.
CJ McCollum added 22 points for the Pelicans, who led by 19 points and responded to each comeback bid with the help of 50% 3-point shooting (17 of 34) as a team and crafty 6-foot guard Jose “Grand Theft” Alvarado's four steals and and two blocks.
The meeting was the first since the Lakers dismantled New Orleans 133-89 in the In-Season Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas on Dec. 7. And the Pelicans had the look of a team seeking redemption in front of a packed and festive New Year's Eve crowd.
It was the fourth time this season that New Orleans' “Big Three” — Williamson, Ingram and McCollum — each scored 20 or more in one game. The Pelicans are 4-0 in such games.
Larry Nance Jr. had 11 points and 10 rebounds in just his second game back from a rib injury. Herb Jones and Jonas Valanciunas each scored 13 points.
The Lakers went into the game without forward Cam Reddish (adductor) and D'Angelo Russell (back), while the Pelicans were without one of their top 3-point shooters in Trey Murphy III (left knee). All were day-to-day.
Then Lakers forward Rui Hachimura left the game in the first half with a left calf strain.
Despite missing Murphy, New Orleans was on from deep. McCollum made five early 3s and finished with six. Jones made three 3s from the right corner in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Alvarado delighted the crowd by picking the pockets of both James and Davis during the second quarter, when New Orleans led by as many as 19 points.
James had 21 of his points in the first half, but didn't get a lot of help from anyone other than Davis, who had 13 in the opening 24 minutes.
The Pelicans hit 10 of 17 3s in the first two periods, and took a 74-57 halftime lead after Ingram's block of Max Christie's shot ignited a fast break finished by Nance's layup.

The majority of people spend New Year's Day snuggled up at home, spending time with family, or simply sleeping off the festivities from the night before. But for those who want to welcome 2024 with a bargain hunt or an early big food shop, a select number of retailers have chosen to open their doors.
People will have less time to stock up on last-minute nibbles ahead of their New Year's Eve fireworks this year, as December 31 falls on a Sunday - meaning most supermarkets will shut at 4pm or 5pm. Many stores will remain closed on New Year's Day, though some will be operating on reduced hours as staff and shoppers alike recover from the previous night's celebrations.
Here is a breakdown of all the opening and closing times for the supermarkets this New Year's Day 2024.

Djokovic leads Serbia to a 2-1 victory over China on his return to Perth. US also wins in United Cup
- Country:
- Australia
Making a triumphant return to Perth after a decade, Novak Djokovic led Serbia to a 2-1 win over China at the United Cup.
Djokovic, playing in the western Australia city for the first time since the 2013 Hopman Cup, beat Zhang Zhizhen 6-3, 6-2 and then teamed up with Olga Danilovic to clinch the decisive mixed doubles 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 against Zheng Quinwen and Zhang in the Group E match.
Zheng, who beat reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in her opening United Cup match, had leveled the match 1-1 when she outplayed Danilovic 6-4, 6-2.
Djokovic needed just 74 minutes to beat Zhang as he converted three of the seven break points.
"It's great to be back in Perth," Djokovic said afterward. "New Year's in a few hours so I really appreciate you coming to hopefully celebrate New Year's Eve with us here on the court. It's been 10 years since I've been in Perth, and this arena is definitely one of the nicest, from inside and outside, that I've played in." Djokovic said he felt a bit rusty early against Zhang and a "little bit out of rhythm" because of not playing a match for over a month.
"It obviously takes a little bit of time to get the engines going and he was serving well," he said. "I think the serve was great on my part, whenever I needed to get myself out of trouble, at 15-15 or 30-30 in my service games, I found a good serve.'' China routed Czech Republic in its first match 3-0, but after Sunday's win Serbia is also in with a chance to advance.
Earlier, former U.S. Open finalist Leylah Fernandez led Canada to a 2-1 victory over Chile in Sydney in its tournament's opening match.
Fernandez defeated Daniela Seguel 6-3, 6-2 before Nicolas Jarry leveled the Group B tie for Chile by beating Steven Diez in straight sets in Sydney.
Diez had replaced Felix Auger-Aliassime who was rested with a minor knee issue.
Fernandez and Diez then clinched the deciding mixed doubles against Seguel and Tomás Barrios Vera 7-5, 4-6, 10-8 to seal the tie for the Canadians.
"I'm extremely happy with the way I played," Fernandez said after her win over Seguel. "It wasn't the greatest match because it is my first match of the season, the nerves, but I'm extremely happy with the way that I was able to manage it." In Perth, Great Britain's Katie Boulter stunned fifth-ranked Jessica Pegula of the United States in Group C, rallying from a set down to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The Americans drew level when Taylor Fritz defeated Cameron Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4 to force a deciding mixed doubles match.
Pegula and Fritz then combined for victory over Boulter and Neal Skupski 1-6, 7-6 (4), 10-7 that sealed the tie, 2-1, for the defending champions.
The Americans will qualify for the quarterfinals if they win their final match against Australia. All three teams still have a chance of qualifying if Australia beats the U.S. in the last group match.
Mixed teams from 18 countries are playing in Perth and Sydney in what doubles as a warmup for the Australian Open. The format is a men's and women's singles and a mixed doubles.

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

Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon back at practice after dog bite, hopes to play Monday against Hornets
DENVER — Power forward Aaron Gordon rejoined the Denver Nuggets for practice Sunday, a week after he was bitten by his pet Rottweiler, leaving him with 21 stitches across his right shooting hand and face.
Gordon told The Denver Post he feels he's ready to return to action Monday night when the Nuggets host the Charlotte Hornets.
Coach Michael Malone said Gordon looked good at practice Sunday, “but we’ll see how he’s feeling tomorrow with the hand.”
Gordon said his 4-year-old dog, which he adopted at six weeks, had been in the care of family members because of the travel demands of the NBA schedule and that he was playing with his dog following the Nuggets' win over the Warriors on Christmas Day when he was bitten.
Gordon said he’d “probably had a little too much eggnog” and was “kind of roughhousing with my dog, and I think my dog got a little excited and just basically chomped down.”
Most of Gordon's 21 stitches are on his right hand, but he's also scarred near his lip.
“I’ve played with stitches in my hand before, so that’s not new to me,” he said, adding, “I don’t really care about the stitches on my face. We’re not running a pageant here.”
Gordon said he blames himself for the dog bite.
“He’s a good boy. He’s a good dog,” Gordon said. “… Very attached. Very sweet. Very strong. Great dog.”
Gordon is averaging 13.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/denver-nuggets-gordon-dog-f11851 | 2024-01-01T04:40:06Z |

David Warner announces retirement from ODI cricket, leaves door open for Champions Trophy 2025 return
Warner will still be available to play T20Is, with the ICC T20 World Cup coming this year in June in the West Indies and the USA.
- Country:
- Australia
Australian opener David Warner announced his retirement from ODI cricket on Monday, just a couple of days ahead of his farewell Test match against Pakistan at his home arena of Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) which will start from Wednesday. The two-time Cricket World Cup winner made the announcement on the morning of New Year's Day. The left-handed opener compiled 6,932 runs in 161 ODIs at an average of 45.30, at a strike rate of 97.26. Warner has also registered 22 centuries and 33 fifties in the format, with the best score of 179.
Often stepping up at global tournaments, Warner also bows out with 1,527 ICC Cricket World Cup runs, scored at an average of 56.55, at a rate better than a run a ball. Only five men's batters stand above him on the all-time World Cup run tally, including compatriot Ricky Ponting (1743). Warner has six centuries and five half-centuries in his World Cup career. "I have got to give back to the family," Warner said during his announcement as quoted by ICC.
"That (ODI retirement) was something I had said through the World Cup, get through that and winning that in India is a massive achievement." Warner has retired on a high as not only he won the World Cup this year, but he also scored 535 runs in 11 matches at an average of 48.63 and a strike rate of above 108, with two centuries and two fifties. He ended up as the sixth-highest run-scorer in the tournament.
There was a caveat to Warner's announcement however, with the veteran open to a return for the 2025 Champions Trophy should he be required. "I know there is a Champions Trophy coming up and if I am playing decent cricket still in two years' time and they need someone, I am going to be available," said Warner.
Warner will still be available to play T20Is, with the ICC T20 World Cup coming this year in June in the West Indies and the USA. The 37-year-old entered the Australia set-up as a limited-overs specialist, debuting for the team in T20I cricket in January 2009 against South Africa before playing a first-class match, smashing 89 in 43 balls with seven fours and six sixes. He made his ODI debut against the same opposition a week later, before making a half-century in his second outing in the format. (ANI)

Malik Monk, Domantas Sabonis lead the Kings to a 123-92 victory over the Grizzlies
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Malik Monk scored 27 points, Domantas Sabonis added 13 points, 21 rebounds and 12 assists and the Sacramento Kings routed the Memphis Grizzlies 123-92 on Sunday night.
De'Aaron Fox scored 24 for the Kings, who won their second straight. Sabonis recorded his sixth triple-double of the season. Sacramento shot 50% overall and 52% from beyond the arc before both teams went to the reserves to close out the game. Monk was 10 of 13 from the field and missed just one of his five 3-point shots.
Jaren Jackson led Memphis with 18 points. Desmond Bane, Ja Morant and Luke Kennard finished with 17 points apiece as the Grizzlies lost their third in a row.
The Grizzlies returned home after a 2-2 trip, losing the last two against the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers. For the first time, Memphis had most of its roster available against the Kings, except for frontline players Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, who are dealing with long-term recoveries.
Kennard was one of those returning after missing 20 games with a left knee bruise.
The Kings were coming off a 117-110 win over Atlanta on Friday in which Fox had 31 points and they put up 70 points in the first half, shooting near 50%, including 9 of 19 from outside the arc.
The Kings opened the second half on a 15-3 run that stretched the lead to 85-61 as Memphis missed its first eight shots in the quarter. Sacramento outscored Memphis 31-21 in the third period for a 101-79 lead.

From hosting Asian Champions Trophy to starting Grassroots Development Program, a look at Hockey India's 2023
As the year carried on, the national sporting body made its intentions clear to revamp domestic tournaments and uplift grassroots initiatives. Hockey India President Dr Dilip Tirkey described 2023 as a 'successful' year for the federation.
- Country:
- India
The stellar year 2023 marked several key milestones for Hockey India as it began with the successful completion of the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela. India became the first nation to host back-to-back editions of the FIH World Cup, and the tournament was highlighted by the inauguration of the new 'jewel' of hockey, the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium, with a seating capacity of over 20,000 bucket seats. As the year carried on, the national sporting body made its intentions clear to revamp domestic tournaments and uplift grassroots initiatives. The first major announcement came in February with Hockey India signing a multiyear deal with interactive live-streaming platform FanCode to livestream all matches played at Hockey India National Championships in India and the Indian subcontinent, as per a Hockey India press release.
Furthermore, the federation announced several steps to make National Championships akin to international tournaments like post-match presentations, and closing ceremonies. Also, for the first time, the umpires officiating at the National Championships were provided with radios for on-field communication and Hockey India took steps to introduce video referrals in domestic tournaments. In March, Hockey India announced the ambitious Grassroots Development Program designed to unearth young talent and improve the bench strength of the National Senior and Junior teams for men and women. Under this initiative, Zonal Championships at the Sub-Junior (U-16) and Junior (U-19) levels were held across North, South, East, and West Zones throughout the year.
Furthermore, the national federation distributed over 11,000 hockey sticks, 3,300 hockey balls, and other vital playing safety equipment, worth over Rs 8.00 Crore to its State Member Units and members of Hockey Academies to bolster the development of the sport across the nation. Urging all the State Member Units to work closely with their respective district associations to host regular activities to help promote hockey and scout talent, Hockey India also kicked off the 'Hockey India ka Abhiyan Har Ghar Ho Hockey Ki Pehchan' program. The federation also disbursed a grant of Rs 2 lakh each to all its State Member Units to aid them in achieving their deliverables and complying with the necessary guidelines. Additional grants were also announced by Hockey India for State Member Units and District Units after the completion of their respective mandates.
Hockey India also announced a special 45-50 days coaching camp and international matches for the Indian Sub-Junior Men's and Women's Team with former Indian Hockey Captain Sardar Singh, and former India Women's Captain Rani taking up the mentorship and Coach's role. The camp was followed by Indian Men's and Women's Sub-Junior Teams, for the first time, travelling to Belgium and the Netherlands for an international competition in October. After successfully implementing the landmark Hockey India Coaches Education Pathway that benefitted scores of aspiring coaches in the country, the national sports federation also launched a holistic Hockey India Match Officials Education and Development Plan to empower aspiring Umpires and Technical Officials and to develop and educate the Umpires and Technical Officials currently officiating at the district and state level tournaments.
Also, seeing the resurgence of the sport's popularity in the country, Hockey India announced steps for the re-launch of the Hockey India League (HIL) and began working towards establishing a successful financial model to sustain the tournament, after consultations from the commercial agency Big Bang Media Ventures Pvt Ltd. Also, India hosted successful editions of the Men's Asian Champions Trophy Chennai 2023 and Jharkhand Women's Asian Champions Trophy Ranchi 2023, bringing international hockey back to different parts of the country. India ended up winning both the titles as well. Moreover, India will once again host the Women's FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers in Ranchi starting from January 13.
Hockey India President Dr Dilip Tirkey described 2023 as a 'successful' year for the federation and said, "It has been a great and successful year for Hockey India as we were able to implement key steps in ensuring the growth of the sport at domestic and the national level. I extend my gratitude and hearty congratulations to all the members of the national federation, state member units, and district units, who made useful contributions in helping us achieve our mission for this year. There is still a long road ahead and we will continue to dedicatedly work towards our goals of further developing our beloved sport of hockey in India and all around the world." (ANI)

Durant scores 31 points, Beal adds season-high 25 to help Suns beat Magic 112-107
PHOENIX — Kevin Durant scored 31 points, Bradley Beal added a season-high 25 and the Phoenix Suns won their third straight game, beating the Orlando Magic 112-107 on Sunday night.
Beal was playing in just his eighth game this season because of back and ankle injuries. The three-time All-Star — acquired in an offseason trade with Washington — shot 10 of 13 from the field, including a powerful dunk in the third quarter.
Orlando trailed for a big chunk of the evening but rallied to cut it to 89-87 heading into the fourth. Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 12 points in the third on 5-of-7 shooting.
Gary Harris hit a long 3-pointer early in the fourth to give Orlando a 96-95 lead — its first since early in the first quarter.
The Suns would recovered, using a 17-6 run to build a 10-point lead and regain control. Durant shot 12 of 21 from the field and added five rebounds and five assists. Devin Booker scored 21 points and Jusuf Nurkic had 19 points and 13 rebounds. The Suns' backups scored only six points, all by Chimezie Metu.
Banchero led the Magic with 28 points, while Franz Wagner added 27. Wendell Carter Jr. had 17 points off the bench.
The Suns played a second straight game with their star trio of Durant, Beal and Booker. The three All-Stars combined for 22 points on the way to a 37-24 lead after one quarter. Phoenix settled for a 67-58 lead at halftime.
Phoenix also welcomed back guard Josh Okogie, who missed six out of the past eight games because of an ankle injury.
The Magic were playing without guard Markelle Fultz (knee) and forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring).

India Open 2024: Indian shuttlers aim to use home advantage with Olympic qualification at stake
Asian Games gold medallists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty and bronze medallist HS Prannoy will aim to boost their position in the world ranking ahead of the Paris Olympics while the likes of former world number one Kidambi Srikanth, 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Lakshya Sen and the up and coming Priyanshu Rajawat will be gunning for the second Indian spot at the Games.
- Country:
- India
With the Race to Paris 2024 heading into its final stretch, Indian shuttlers will have an excellent opportunity to earn valuable points and stake claims to Olympic berths across categories at the India Open Super 750 to be held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi from January 16-21, 2024. Asian Games gold medallists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty and bronze medallist HS Prannoy will aim to boost their position in the world ranking ahead of the Paris Olympics while the likes of former world number one Kidambi Srikanth, 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Lakshya Sen and the up and coming Priyanshu Rajawat will be gunning for the second Indian spot at the Games, as per Badminton Association of India (BAI) Media.
According to the Paris Olympics qualification rules, two Indian men's singles players can participate in the Games only if both of them are ranked among the Top-16 at the end of the qualification process that ends on April 30, 2024. The India Open, organised by the Badminton Association of India (BAI), was upgraded to the Super 750 category from the Super 500 last year which means that the players can earn significantly higher ranking points in their quest for Olympic qualification.
It has also meant that almost all the Top-10 players in the current world ranking will be in action at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall and badminton lovers can enjoy watching them in action on all six days for free as the BAI has decided to keep the entry free. Looking forward to yet another fantastic week of quality badminton, BAI General Secretary Sanjay Mishra said, "The BAI has consistently maintained a very high standard of preparation for the India Open and that has ensured that it is now a Super 750 level event. This means that all our Olympics hopefully will have a good chance of using the home conditions to earn valuable points and even win the title. It will also be a great opportunity for fans to witness some breathtaking action as more top-ranked players will be participating."
Among the Indian stars, one among Sen and Rajawat are assured of a pre-quarterfinal spot as the young guns will face off against each other in the men's singles opening round. Eighth seed Prannoy will be opening his campaign against Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei and will face the winner of the match between Sen and Rajawat after clearing the first-round hurdle.
Former champion Srikanth, currently in 24th position in the Race to Paris rankings, will meet Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk Yiu in the opening round and has a potential second-round clash against defending champion Kunlavut Viditsarn of Thailand. In men's doubles, former champions and second seeds Satwik and Chirag will kick off their challenge against World No. 25 Fang-Jen Lee and Fang-Chih Lee of Taipei in the opening round and are expected to go deeper in the competition.
The women's doubles combinations of Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand and Ashwini Ponnappa-Tanisha Crasto are also locked into a see-saw battle for an Olympics spot. All England semi-finalists Treesa and Gayatri have a tough opener against fourth seeds Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida of Japan while Ashwini and Crasto, who made three back-to-back finals to end 2023 on a high, will face World No. 10 Thai combination of Rawinda Prajongjai and Jongkolphan Kititharakul in the first round.
Among the other high profile first round clashes, defending women's singles champion An Se Young of South Korea will take on three-time champion Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand while Spain's Carolina Marin will face Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a clash of former world champions. In men's singles, former world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore will meet third seed and reigning All England champion Li Shi Feng of China while top seed Viktor Axelsen will open his campaign against Wang Tzu Wei of Chinese Taipei.

Nets' leaky defense causes loss to Thunder in Oklahoma City
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Nets couldn’t be happier to see 2023, a year of great upheaval and resetting for the franchise, come to an end.
The Big Three era ended in February last season with trading Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. On Sunday, this new group ended the calendar year with a 124-108 loss to the Thunder at Paycom Center.
The Nets’ third consecutive defeat felt similar to the last two. Defensive issues with the Thunder shooting 54.2% from the field. They added an emphasis to that by making their first five shots of the fourth quarter to push the lead to 14.
The Nets shot just 38% for the game. After making less than 10 the past three games, the Nets made 12 threes but attempted 46 for a paltry 26.1%.
“It was open looks; we were just missing,” Cam Thomas said. “There wasn’t nothing they were doing out of the ordinary. We was drive-and-kicking. They showed a stat in here, we was like 2-for-20 on corner threes.”
It further compounded issues as the Nets have lost eight of their last 10 games. They improved their rebounding Sunday but had just a 47-46 edge over a team ranked 28th in rebounding entering the game.
Of course, there were fewer rebounds on made shots. Every Thunder starter besides Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made at least 50% of their shots. Gilgeous-Alexander was 7-for-15 but still led his team with a game-high 24 points.
“We got the looks we wanted. Just couldn’t make them,” Bridges said. “We got the looks we wanted. We just got to get stops on the other end as well. They just shot 54[%] from the field so just got to be better.”
The Nets also wasted a game where they forced an uncharacteristic 15 turnovers and got a strong start by Thomas and Mikal Bridges. Both combined for 25 points in the first quarter but the Nets only led 36-33 despite shooting 61.9%
The shooting regressed in the second as the Nets shot 24.1% and the Thunder pulled ahead to lead 59-56 at halftime.
“That boils down to the transition defense,” coach Jacque Vaughn said. There was a few possessions and stretches where we missed shots with a long rebound. Now you have to have that extra energy to sprint back and load to the basketball.”
Bridges finished with 22 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Thomas had 20 points off the bench. It didn’t matter nor did it matter Nic Claxton tied his career high with 16 rebounds to go with 15 points.
The Nets’ inability to get stops cost them against a Thunder team that entered fourth in the league in scoring. Josh Giddey added 20 points as every Thunder starter had at least 17 points.
It was another case where defensive issues proved glaring for a team that wanted to be a defense-first unit. Perhaps one fourth quarter play summed up the difference in effort between both teams.
With the Thunder up big in the fourth quarter, Lu Dort took a touch pass from Giddey and went for a one-handed dunk. He missed but Giddey hustled for the offensive rebound and found Dort, who made an open corner three-pointer with nary a Net near him.
The Nets’ spirit, whatever was left of it, was snatched away. They enter 2024 looking for the same answers they couldn’t find to end 2023.
“We just got to keep doing what we do,” Bridges said. “I don’t have too much to say. I think just follow the game plan and keep trying to do it the best we can.” | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/nets/nets-thunder-urnoyhio | 2024-01-01T04:40:25Z |

Celtics extend winning streak to 6 games with a 134-101 rout of the Spurs
SAN ANTONIO — Jayson Tatum scored 25 points, Jaylen Brown added 24 and the Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to six games with a 134-101 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
Derrick White scored 17 points against his former team, and Kristaps Porzingis added 14 points and nine rebounds in his return after missing one game due to a calf injury.
Devin Vassell scored 22 points and Victor Wembanyama had 21 points and seven rebounds for San Antonio. The Spurs have lost seven of eight.
Boston closed out the month of December with a 12-2 record.
The matchup between the top team in the Eastern Conference and the last-place team in the West played out as expected.
Boston led by as many as 37 points and sat its starters for most of the fourth quarter.
San Antonio never led and trailed by 35 points or more in a game for the sixth time this season.
Wembanyama and Vassell scored San Antonio’s first 17 points. The pair combined to shoot 5 for 20 from the field in the opening quarter. The rest of the Spurs went 2 for 14. San Antonio finished 12 for 44 from 3-point range.
Wembanyama provided some of the few highlights for Spurs fans. The 7-foot-3 rookie followed up a reverse slam off an alley-oop pass from Tre Jones with a 3-pointer that cut Boston’s lead to 38-29 in the second quarter.
Boston limited San Antonio to one offensive rebound in the first half, and held a 23-14 advantage in total rebounds.
Lower back spasms kept Keldon Johnson out of the game, and the Spurs’ second unit struggled without the forward.

Arsenal limps into 2024 after ''worst performance of the season.'' Tottenham closes in on top four
A toothless Arsenal side lost 2-1 at Fulham on Sunday despite taking the lead in the fifth minute, a second straight defeat that means the team stayed in fourth place in the Premier League when a victory would have lifted it into first.
- Country:
- United Kingdom
Arsenal is limping into 2024 after a damaging stretch that culminated in what coach Mikel Arteta called "the worst performance of the season" on the final day of the year. A toothless Arsenal side lost 2-1 at Fulham on Sunday despite taking the lead in the fifth minute, a second straight defeat that means the team stayed in fourth place in the Premier League — when a victory would have lifted it into first. "It's a really sad day because today we didn't deserve to win the game," Arteta said. "That was the worst performance of the season." It continued a worrying run that has seen Arsenal end 2023 with just one win in its last five league games, including its first home loss of the season to West Ham on Thursday. Arsenal would have provisionally climbed above Liverpool atop the table with a win, but could find itself five points off the lead if Jurgen Klopp's team beats Newcastle on Monday. Arsenal stayed in fourth — having been top of the table at Christmas — and is now just one point ahead of fifth-place Tottenham after its north London rival beat Bournemouth 3-1 at home. This latest setback came despite Bukayo Saka putting Arsenal ahead after just five minutes as he turned in the rebound from a shot by Gabriel Martinelli, who had made a marauding run from inside his own area. There was little in the way of attacking threat from the visitors after that, though, and bad defending helped Raul Jimenez equalize in the first half and Bobby De Cordova-Reid poke in the winner after a corner in the 59th.
"Not good enough from us again today," Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice said. "The game against West Ham we had 30 shots, so many touches in the box but couldn't put it away. Today when (we) go one up we have to have more control. We need to demand more from each other. We had to push on again and go for more. In this league there is no room to mess up. It is a tough one to take." Fulham had lost its last three league games by a combined score of 8-0 but was boosted by the return of Jimenez from a suspension. The striker has now scored four goals in his last four league games — equaling his tally from his previous 50. TOTTENHAM BOUNCES BACK Don't count Tottenham out of the title race just yet. Ange Postecoglou's team is three points behind Liverpool after bouncing back from a 4-2 defeat at Brighton on Thursday with a convincing win against Bournemouth. Tottenham was boosted by the early return of Rodrigo Bentancur from an injury at a time when Postecoglou is without a handful of starters. But the win was marred by Senegal international Pape Sarr leaving the field in tears with an injury in the first half — just two weeks before the start of the African Cup of Nations — after he had scored the opening goal in the ninth minute. Tottenham had to wait until the 71st minute for another goal, but Son Heung-min and Richarlison scored late to make the game safe before Alex Scott pulled one back for Bournemouth. After a great start to the season under Postecoglou, Tottenham fell out of the top four after a five-game winless run but could soon be back in the Champions League places. "We're still in there and fighting," Postecoglou said. "We're three points off the top so if that is the difference between having a great season and where we are I'll take it.''

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won’t choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
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.”

The Boston Bruins entered the Christmas break losers of four straight. After Sunday’s showing against the Detroit Red Wings, they’ll enter 2024 with a three-game win streak.
Their last game of 2023 featured heated tensions, scrappy post-whistle scrums, timely goals, and multiple head-scratching calls from the officials. Yet, the Bruins, playing their second game of a back-to-back, persevered through a chippy contest.
An aggressive Trent Frederic set the tone with Boston’s first two tallies, beginning with a brilliant backhanded feed off David Pastrnak’s lengthy flip pass from the opposing blue-line late in the opening frame.
Nearly 10 minutes after Frederic’s second marker, Jake Walman and Ben Chariot notched tallies 3:11 apart to tie things up. The latter tally came under scrutiny after a conversation between the officials and the NHL situation room in Toronto confirmed Chariot’s seventh of the season even as Michael Rassmussen’s stick made contact with Jeremy Swayman’s glove hand.
The review didn’t rattle the Bruins. In fact, the stopgap ultimately helped them regroup for the final 20 minutes and change.
Eventually, the Bruins returned to their forechecking philosophy and never looked back.
Charlie Coyle put Boston ahead for good 3:52 into the third.
The Bruins added more insurance after a tripped-up Jake DeBrusk managed to score one of the two empty netters.
DeBrusk committed a trip of his own 31 seconds after notching his second marker in as many nights. The Red Wings quickly cut Boston’s lead to 4-3 just 39 ticks into the de facto 6-on-4 power play, with J.T. Compher pouncing on a second-effort play around the net front.
The Bruins kept Detroit in check once more in the final seconds. Alas, they secured their 5-3 win at 19:36 of the final stanza after Pavel Zacha fired a long-distance shot at the empty cage for his ninth goal of the year.
Here’s what we learned from a chippy New Year’s Eve tilt in the Motor City.
Swayman immediately expressed his frustrations at the officials on his second goal allowed. He had thought Rasmussen’s stick altered his path at stopping Chariot’s shot.
Jim Montgomery took a look as Chariot went through the goal line. Within a minute, he signaled for a challenge.
The two officials for the night, Wes McCauley and Francis Charron, conferenced with the NHL Situation Room for more than five minutes. The goal stood after Charron announced that the contact occurred outside the blue paint.
Later, the NHL revealed that Brandon Carlo’s stick prompted Rasmussen to make contact with Swayman. Either way, the verdict wasn’t consistent with Rule 69 of the NHL rulebook.
Yet, the Bruins took the time to refocus as they immediately faced another shorthanded situation. Against Detroit’s marquee weapons like Alex DeBrincat, Dylan Larkin and the recently signed Patrick Kane, Boston’s PK shined in a pivotal spot to keep the 2-2 tie intact heading into the second intermission.
“You know what? We didn’t feel we had anything to lose,” Montgomery told NESN’s Andy Brickley of the goalie interference challenge. “We did think it was goalie’s interference. The refs explained what the judgment was and what it wasn’t, but it also slowed the game down. We were trending the wrong way. It was like a long timeout because [the review] did take long, and it wasn’t an easy decision for them.”
The Bruins began trending upward in the third, overcoming some struggles at the dot along the way.
For years, the Bruins relied on Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci to win important faceoff draws. Without their two franchise centermen, the Bruins struggled to replicate their prior years of success at the dot.
Coyle entered Boston’s tilt in 2023 as one of three Bruins with a success rate of over 50 percent at the dot. On Sunday, the Weymouth native only won four of 17 draws. As a whole, the Bruins lost 36 of their 53 faceoffs.
What they lacked in quantity, the Bruins made up for their faceoff mishaps in quality on the go-ahead goal early in the final frame. Coyle promptly cashed in on a set play, skating directly to the slot where he took a crisp feed from Charlie McAvoy to notch his 13th of the season.
“Win one draw and score a goal. I should do that more often,” Coyle told NESN’s Adam Pellerin. “That’s an area I need to be better at so we can play with the puck a little more.”
Coyle and McAvoy highlighted the sequence. DeBrusk and Brad Marchand did the dirty work, setting legal picks along the dot to free space for Coyle.
“Chuckie [McAvoy] comes down with it, and there’s some good picks by Marshy and J.D,” Coyle added. “I don’t think J.D. gets a point on it, but those subtle picks and movements doesn’t find the scoresheet. That’s so big, and we don’t score if not for those little things that the average person doesn’t see.”
While they may not have an eagle eye on the finer details of a given day, the everyday person around Boston surely witnesses the B’s recent success at closing out victories.
A hiccup on Compher’s tally didn’t prevent the Bruins from closing out their 21st win of the season.
The Bruins quickly put the game out of reach in the final seconds on Zacha’s empty netter. In reality, they established healthy habits during shutdown time.
Montgonery’s club encountered their share of ill-timed mistakes and blunders in the final 20. They’ve relinquished seven leads during the third period, including two in back-to-back overtime losses against the Rangers and Wild at the beginning of their recent four-game skid.
In the past week, the Bruins established multi-goal advantages against the Sabres and Devils heading into the third. On Sunday, the Red Wings used “piss and vinegar” to work their way into six power-play attempts, including two in the third.
The Bruins, however, didn’t cave in, regaining their composure from questionable calls and heated scrums to close out 2023 appropriately.
“Every game is kind of ramping up. The second half is always [a time] where teams know what they’re made of, and we know that the main goal is to win a Stanley Cup,” Swayman said to the media following his 25-save outing. “So we don’t care who we play or when we play them. We want to be piss and vinegar every time.”

Judge allows new court in Mississippi’s majority-Black capital, rejecting NAACP request to stop it
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that he will allow Mississippi officials to move forward with creating a state-run court in part of the majority-Black capital city of Jackson, over objections from the NAACP.
Attorneys for the civil rights organization had sued on behalf of several Jackson residents, saying the new court undermines democracy because local voters or local elected officials won’t choose its judge or prosecutors.
The new Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have a judge appointed by the state Supreme Court chief justice and prosecutors appointed by the state attorney general — officials who are white and conservative.
In a ruling filed late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate dismissed requests to block the new court, which was created by the majority-white and Republican-controlled Mississippi Legislature. Jackson is governed by Democrats.
“None of the Plaintiffs has alleged that he or she is in actual or imminent danger of experiencing any concrete and particularized injury resulting from the establishment of the CCID Court or the challenged appointment of a judge or prosecutors for that court,” Wingate wrote.
Under a law signed by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves during the spring, the new court will come into existence Jan. 1 and will have jurisdiction in a part of Jackson that includes state government buildings and some residential and shopping areas.
Reeves and legislators who support the new court say it is part of an effort to control crime in Jackson — a city that has had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years, in a population of about 150,000.
The Capitol Complex Improvement District Court will have the same power as municipal courts, which handle misdemeanor cases, traffic violations and initial appearances for some criminal charges. People convicted in most municipal courts face time in a local jail. Those convicted in the new court will be held in a state prison, near people convicted of more serious felony crimes.
Most municipal judges are appointed by city officials. Jackson has a Black mayor and majority-Black city council. The judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson.
Legal arguments in the case touched on racial discrimination, public safety and democracy.
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.”

Man dies after shark ‘encounter’ at Maui’s Paia Bay: Officials
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:29 pm(NEW YORK) -- A 39-year-old man has died following a shark "encounter" at Maui's Paia Bay, officials said.
The Maui Police Department said it responded to the beach around 11:19 a.m. local time Saturday.
"Upon arrival, Ocean Safety Officers were transporting a male who sustained injuries from a shark encounter via jet ski to shore," officials said in a statement. "Once onshore, life-saving measures were performed by first responder personnel until medic personnel arrived to transport the male to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment."
The man "later succumbed to his injuries and died," officials said.
His identity is being withheld so his family can notify extended family and friends, according to officials.
No further details were given. An investigation is ongoing.
The Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Pā’ia Park (Baby Beach) were closed Saturday following the shark incident, county officials said.
Shark warning signs were posted for 1 mile to either side of where the incident took place, from Tavares Bay to Baby Beach, the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources said.
"By noon on Sunday, if no further signs of shark activity are detected, signs will be taken down," the department wrote on Facebook.

Opinion
In my mind, the job was colossal, I was esteemed and rich. But no one seemed to notice
Waleed Aly
Columnist, co-host of Ten's The Project and academicThe Age’s opinion section is rolling out a fresh series of summer pieces on the theme of ‘The Summer I Went Legit’. These stories, penned by Age writers and regular columnists, range from humorous to poignant and thought-provoking tales of first jobs and finding your feet.
“Welcome to Telstra, this is Waleed, how can I help you?”
Yes. That was me, headset and all, talking to whoever was game about their MessageBank™. Or Call Number Display (the cool kids called it CND). Or trying to convince them of the merits of consolidating their various services into a single bill (“one account, one amount”). That last one we sold on the basis that it was good for the environment because it used less paper. By wild coincidence, it also saved the company considerable administrative costs.
There were two types of shifts – inbound (answering calls) and outbound (making the calls). Outbound was the default. “Hi, this is Waleed from Telstra, could I please speak to Mrs Bucket?” I wouldn’t have chosen Mrs Bucket, myself, of course. She was dished up by a machine, which identified her as being primed for some sale or other. Then suddenly there we were. Thrown together by fate on a phone call neither of us sought, having never known the other existed mere seconds ago.
In an instant, you’d be asking for their date of birth for privacy reasons and getting their permission for the call to be recorded “for quality and coaching purposes”. At which point, it wasn’t unreasonable for your new friend Mrs Bucket to say something like: “Hang on, you’ve called me out of the blue, and now you’re asking for my personal details and recording me?” Others would just hang up. If only they’d bought a CND, they’d have known not to answer – and for only $5.50 a month including GST!
Once, I remember a guy saying to me, with tremendous satisfaction, “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.” I couldn’t tell whether it was something he said at every available opportunity or had been waiting for the perfect moment to deploy, but I could definitely tell he thought quoting a catchphrase from a short-lived game show was the cleverest thing in the world, and not remotely hackneyed. I assume he now runs around saying “lock it in, Eddie” whenever he finalises social plans.
Looking back, it’s a miracle anyone ever agreed to talk, but you’d be amazed. In our induction we were told of one customer (not Mrs Bucket) who took the call while having sex, right up to and including the most … audible … bit, even declining an offer to be called back later. I tried to imagine how that conversation would have gone. Were there calm, dry exchanges about optimising one’s call plan? Was it a complicated discussion of how mobile, internet and landline services could be packaged so as to earn a discount? How exciting could a Messagebank™ be in the circumstances?
My first call wasn’t as eventful. Even so, I remember it vividly. All the product knowledge, all the practice calls, all the blood, sweat and tears of two whole weeks of training had led to this. Now I was about to be unleashed on a real person.
The dialler clicked into action, signalling a call had begun. I would be speaking in less than a second, but so much would be packed into that tiny interval. The air would feel electric, my stomach would churn as though powered by some nauseating engine. Then I would recognise instantly this wasn’t helping, and summon as much energy as I could to overwhelm the nerves. The result was probably that I sounded absurdly hyped up, but anything was better than sounding scared. Nowadays, I recognise exactly what that feeling is. I was on the air.
Around me was an aura of mundane drudgery, of battery-farmed “sales consultants” stuck on repeat for months on end. But for me, it was fabulously exciting. Telstra was this huge, prestigious company, whose ads I’d watched my whole life. How did someone let me represent them? Was I an Australian icon now, by association? Not just Waleed. But Waleed from Telstra. And how did anyone agree to pay me more money than I’d ever imagined – some $23 per hour – to become one? In my mind, this was colossal. I was esteemed and fabulously rich. It’s just that no one seemed to notice.
A couple of years later, I was at a job interview for my first legal job. “Are you one of those annoying people who hassles me at home when I’m just trying to relax?” began the interviewer, scanning my CV. I probably said something stupid like, “No, I’m just trying to help you get the most out of your service,” because that’s how those annoying people who hassle you at home when you’re just trying to relax tend to speak.
These days, my colleagues and I use a different set of annoying words. Words like “caucus”, “ombudsman” or “two-party preferred”; “outrage”, “scandal” or “fiasco”.
Fools have let me represent institutions far beyond my grade – the ABC, The Age, and Channel Ten. One day, someone will find out and end this madness, but it’s uncanny how many moments resemble that first call; how many skills are the same. Sound engaged, establish rapport with people from every demographic and walk of life, convey information quickly and simply.
The air crackles, the stomach churns, reserves of energy propel you over these hurdles and on the air. The more I think about it, the more all that telemarketing resembles an extremely niche form of talkback. I’d love to you to hear it. Sadly, I forgot to ask all those customers if they were happy for me to record them for niche broadcasting purposes.
But please, if there’s anything thing else you need, then how can I help you?

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."

Frankie Collins scores 25 with 6 steals; ASU erases 16-point deficit, beats Cal 71-69
BERKELEY, Calif. — Frankie Collins scored 17 of his career-high 25 points in the second half to help Arizona State rally from a 16-point second-half deficit to beat California 71-69 Sunday night.
Cal (4-9, 0-2) has lost 18 in a row to conference opponents, including a 69-52 loss to Washington State in the first round 2023 Pac-12 Tournament.
Collins, a 6-foot-1 junior, who went into the gave No. 4 nationally in steals per game (2.92), made 10 of 17 from the field, 3 of 5 from 3-point range and finished with six steals. Arizona State (7-5, 1-0 Pac-12)
Grant Newell hit a jumper that gave the Golden Bears a 14-point lead with 8:59 left in the game but they made just 1 of 5 from the field and committed five turnovers over the next five-plus minutes. Kamari Lands scored all his 11 points, including three 3-pointers, in a 22-6 spurt that gave the Sun Devils a 64-62 lead with — its first since 2-0 — with 3:12 to go. Fardaw Aimaq answered with a three-point play before Collins hit a jumper and Jaylon Tyson made two free throws to put Cal in front 67-66 with 1:25 remaining. Jose Perez had a jumper in the lane blocked by Jalen Celestine but Alonzo Gaffney's put-back dunk with 43 seconds left gave Arizona State the lead for good.
After a turnover by Tyson on the other end, Collins made a layup with seven seconds to go that gave the Sun Devils their biggest lead of the game at 70-67. They immediately fouled and Jalen Cone hit two free throws to cut the deficit to a point before Collins — a 59% free-throw shooter this season — made 1 of 2 from the foul line to cap the scoring with 4.5 to play.
Tyson, who missed a contested potential winning 35-footer at the buzzer, had 20 points, nine rebounds, five assists and six steals for the Golden Bears and Aimaq added 17 points and 14 rebounds. Kennedy finished with 11 points and Nelson 10.
Cal heads to Los Angeles to play at Southern California on Thursday and at UCLA on Saturday. Arizona State plays host to Utah on Thursday.

Tom Brady ended his 2023 recap Instagram post with an interesting tidbit on New Year’s Eve.
The former Patriots quarterback says his confidants foiled his plan to unretire for a second time when they held a surprise retirement bash for him in May.
“The only downside to 2023 was when I was about to unretire in May and my friends threw a surprise retirement party,” Brady wrote. “Kind of forced my hand 😂”
The 46-year-old Brady casually put that at the end of his Instagram caption after detailing his past year in the paragraph above.
Jokingly or not, the future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback is no stranger to rethinking his decision to end his playing career.
Brady famously came out of his first retirement in March 2022 less than two months after announcing he was hanging up his cleats.
He cited “unfinished business” as a reason why he couldn’t retire just yet.
While Brady didn’t end up hoisting his eighth Lombardi Trophy last season, he did continue to make history.
The then-45-year-old became the oldest quarterback to start a NFL game in the Buccaneers’ season-opener. Brady also became the first quarterback in NFL history to record 100,000 career passing yards (regular season and postseason) in Week 9 of the 2022-23 season. He led the league in passes (733) and completions (490) to cap off his 23-year career.
Brady did end up retiring “for good” (his words) on Feb. 1 this year. Although, perhaps he’s experienced second thoughts about his choice, again.

Durant scores 31 points, Beal adds season-high 25 to help Suns beat Magic 112-107
PHOENIX (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 31 points, Bradley Beal added a season-high 25 and the Phoenix Suns won their third straight game, beating the Orlando Magic 112-107 on Sunday night.
Beal was playing in just his eighth game this season because of back and ankle injuries. The three-time All-Star — acquired in an offseason trade with Washington — shot 10 of 13 from the field, including a powerful dunk in the third quarter.
Orlando trailed for a big chunk of the evening but rallied to cut it to 89-87 heading into the fourth. Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 12 points in the third on 5-of-7 shooting.
Gary Harris hit a long 3-pointer early in the fourth to give Orlando a 96-95 lead — its first since early in the first quarter.
The Suns would recovered, using a 17-6 run to build a 10-point lead and regain control. Durant shot 12 of 21 from the field and added five rebounds and five assists. Devin Booker scored 21 points and Jusuf Nurkic had 19 points and 13 rebounds. The Suns’ backups scored only six points, all by Chimezie Metu.
Banchero led the Magic with 28 points, while Franz Wagner added 27. Wendell Carter Jr. had 17 points off the bench.
The Suns played a second straight game with their star trio of Durant, Beal and Booker. The three All-Stars combined for 22 points on the way to a 37-24 lead after one quarter. Phoenix settled for a 67-58 lead at halftime.
Phoenix also welcomed back guard Josh Okogie, who missed six out of the past eight games because of an ankle injury.
The Magic were playing without guard Markelle Fultz (knee) and forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring).

Court documents naming Jeffrey Epstein’s associates to be unsealed: What to know
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:24 pm(NEW YORK) -- Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names -- including Britain's Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton -- are expected to appear in the documents.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled earlier this month there was no legal justification for continuing to conceal the ex-president's name and more than 150 names other "John and Jane Does" mentioned in the records. Preska ordered the unsealing to begin after Jan. 1.
The documents stem from a 2015 civil lawsuit centered on allegations that Epstein's one-time paramour, Ghislaine Maxwell, facilitated the sexual abuse of Virginia Giuffre, an alleged trafficking victim. Giuffre also accused Epstein and Maxwell of directing her to have sex with Prince Andrew and several other prominent men. Prince Andrew denied the allegations and claimed he could not recall ever meeting Giuffre. He later settled a lawsuit she filed against him.
Most of the prominent names that appear in the documents are already associated in some way with Epstein; for allegations of wrongdoing, for having worked for Epstein, flown on his planes, or visited his homes. Some were mentioned during Maxwell's criminal trial in 2021. In some instances, the only appearances of the names are in potential witness lists or in proposed terms for searches of electronic records.
While Giuffre's allegations against Prince Andrew, and his denials, have been widely reported around the globe, dozens of the sealed records are expected to contain additional details from "Jane Doe 162," a witness who testified she was with Prince Andrew, Maxwell and Giuffre, then 17, at Epstein's New York mansion. Giuffre has alleged that gathering, in 2001, was one of the occasions she was directed to have sex with Andrew.
Giuffre made no allegations of wrongdoing by Clinton, and there is no indication the sealed records contain evidence of illegal conduct by Clinton. But Giuffre's claim that she met the ex-president on Epstein's private Caribbean island emerged as a contentious issue in the litigation, which was settled in 2017. Maxwell contended Clinton had never been to Little St. James -- as Epstein's island was known -- and assailed Giuffre's claim as a fabrication that shattered her credibility.
Personal flight logs kept by one of Epstein's pilots -- which surfaced in separate lawsuits against Epstein -- showed that Clinton and his entourage had flown extensively on Epstein's jumbo-jet to international destinations such as Paris, Bangkok and Brunei in 2002 and 2003. But none of the available records included the former president on a trip to Epstein's island.
The court documents to be unsealed this week represent the eighth, and likely final, round of unsealing records from the case since the Miami Herald intervened for access to the records in 2018. Previously unsealed items included multiple deposition transcripts of Maxwell and Giuffre, along with sworn, but unproven, allegations that Epstein and Maxwell directed Giuffre to have sex with several well-known men, including former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, the late model scout Jean Luc Brunel, billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, and others.
Maxwell denied the allegations, as did all of the men identified by Giuffre when their names surfaced.
This batch will involve the names of additional Epstein associates, alleged perpetrators, alleged co-conspirators, alleged victims, witnesses and former Epstein employees. Several of the "Does" mentioned in the documents are now deceased.
Former President Clinton, who ABC News has learned is identified as "Doe 36," is mentioned in more than fifty of the redacted filings, according to court records. Several of those sealed or redacted entries are focused on an effort by Giuffre's lawyers in mid-2016, first reported by ABC News, to subpoena the two-term Democratic president for deposition testimony about his relationship with Epstein.
According to portions of the court record that were not sealed, Giuffre's legal team initiated informal discussions with attorneys for the then-unnamed witness on June 9, 2016. That was a few days after the former president's wife, Hillary Clinton, clinched the Democratic nomination for president.
Representatives for Giuffre did contact the former president's attorneys in 2016 about a potential deposition, a person familiar with the situation told ABC News. Clinton's lawyers responded that his testimony would not be helpful to Giuffre because, the person said, the former president had never been on Epstein's island, as she had claimed.
Maxwell called the move to question Clinton "utter nonsense" and a "transparent ploy by [Giuffre] to increase media exposure for her sensational stories through deposition side-show," her attorney Laura Menninger wrote, according to an unredacted section of a court filing.
Giuffre's legal team, in contrast, described the proposed testimony of Clinton as "highly relevant" and "important to the fundamental claims and defenses" in the case. The request was ultimately denied by U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet, in a redacted ruling in late June 2016.
Giuffre's lawyers pressed the Clinton issue again at a hearing in March 2017, six weeks before a trial was scheduled to begin. According to a publicly available transcript, Giuffre's team was then seeking to preclude Maxwell's side from presenting testimony suggesting that Clinton hadn't been on Epstein's island. Her attorneys argued it would be "inherently unfair" to Giuffre because they had not been permitted to ask the former president if he had ever been to Little St. James, as Epstein's private island estate was known.
"You did not allow us to depose him because you said it was irrelevant," McCawley told Judge Sweet. "So now we're in a position where at trial they want to put forth that information against my client, and I don't have an under-oath statement from that individual saying whether or not he actually was," she added.
Maxwell's attorneys, according to the transcript, told the court Maxwell was prepared to take the stand and testify that Clinton was never on the island.
But because the trial never occurred, Giuffre's motion to exclude testimony about Clinton was left unresolved. More information about the debate over the issue could become public in the documents to be unsealed.
Clinton's name is also expected to be unsealed in filings surrounding separate efforts by Maxwell and Giuffre to compel Epstein to answer questions. The disgraced financier invoked his constitutional rights against self-incrimination to every inquiry during a September 2016 deposition, as he had done many times before in civil lawsuits against him.
According to a procedure established by Preska, attorneys for each of the "Does" were offered a preview of the court files containing their name before determinations were made about unsealing the records. Each person was afforded an opportunity to argue for keeping the records sealed. Clinton's legal team, after reviewing the excerpts, did not lodge any objections to the publication of the documents, according to Preska's order last month.
A spokesperson for Clinton declined to comment for this story.
Clinton's association with Epstein was first noted publicly in 2002, after reporters learned of the former president's journey that year on the mysterious multi-millionaire's jet for a humanitarian mission to multiple African nations. Clinton told New York magazine through a spokesman at the time that "Jeffrey is both a highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist with a keen sense of global markets and an in-depth knowledge of twenty-first-century science."
"I especially appreciated his insights and generosity during the recent trip to Africa to work on democratization, empowering the poor, citizen service, and combating HIV/AIDS," the statement said.
Clinton's representatives have said the former president cut off contact with Epstein in 2005, before the financier came under investigation in Palm Beach, Florida, for allegedly luring underage girls to his seaside mansion for illicit, sexualized massages.
When Epstein first faced potential federal prosecution a few years later, one of the disgraced financier's lawyers wrote to prosecutors to tout Epstein's pedigree as "part of the original group that conceived of the Clinton Global Initiative," according to a 2007 letter attached to a court filing several years later.
Following Epstein's arrest for child sex trafficking in 2019, a spokesperson for Clinton, Angel Ureña, said in a statement that the former president "knows nothing" about Epstein's crimes. "He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade," the statement added, "and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida."
Subsequent reporting after Epstein's death has revealed that Epstein and Maxwell attended a 1993 reception for donors to the non-profit White House Historical Association. The smiling pair are seen greeting the president at the White House in photos unearthed from the archives of the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas.
Giuffre, now a 40-year-old mother living in Australia, filed the action against Maxwell in September 2015, alleging that the former British socialite defamed her when her publicist issued a statement referring to Giuffre's allegations as "obvious lies."
A substantial portion of the filings in the case were originally placed under seal or with heavy redactions under sweeping court orders intended to shield the identities of alleged victims, people not accused of wrongdoing, and "absent third-parties" facing allegations that could "implicate and potentially irreparably intrude on the privacy of individuals not present" before the court.
The morning after the first set of documents was unsealed by a federal appeals court in 2019, Epstein died by hanging in his jail cell in Manhattan, where he was being held pending trial on charges of child sex-trafficking and conspiracy. The New York Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide and a Justice Department Inspector General report concurred with that determination.
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on five of six counts related to the abuse and trafficking of underage girls. After the verdict, Maxwell's attorneys cited her connection to former President Clinton's charitable work as part of her effort for a reduced sentence, including a claim of "helping develop the Clinton Global Initiative," according to a sentencing memo filed with the court.
Maxwell was sentenced to a 20-year prison term. She is appealing her conviction.

It’s highly offensive, but that’s not the problem with Ricky Gervais’ Armageddon
By Ben Pobjie
There’s a little sinking feeling that hits when, in the first couple of minutes of Ricky Gervais’s latest stand-up special Armageddon, he cracks out the word “woke”.
There’s something about that word: it tends to act as a signal that what follows is going to be some hard-right reactionary old-man-shouting-at-clouds tedium. Which is exactly what Gervais’s most strident critics expect from him, of course.
His previous special, Supernature, drew strong criticism for his jokes about trans issues, and for seeming to cross a line between ‘I don’t care who I offend’ to ‘I enjoy offending people’.
Armageddon, presently the number 1 show on Netflix in Australia, is arguably not as provocative as Supernature. But there does still seem to be an attempt to court controversy from a man who has proved himself invincible to cancel culture despite being high on the list of what might be termed problematic celebrities.
This doesn’t mean it’s as funny as Gervais can be, his focus in Armageddon seems to be on being edgy, rather than being hilarious.
Gervais’ musings on “woke” do not descend to Fox News-level lefty-baiting, and his mockery of those who might occasionally be tagged with that epithet is for the most part amusing enough.
But the very fact he pulls out such a tired, played-out term is suggestive of a certain lack of sharpness: a little laziness of thought that does not permeate the special, but does occasionally seep in, to the show’s overall detriment.
The show is not, thank goodness, all about wokeness, though Gervais’ delight in poking fun at modern sensitivities is always evident. His main subject, as usual, is the arrogance and stupidity of the human race, whether that takes the form of ludicrous cultural policing of movies, petty fixations on language, or our species’ peculiarly hubristic march to self-destruction – as hinted in the show’s title.
There are superb bits on humans’ tendency to overlook what’s important in favour of their own narrow obsessions – a sequence on a website’s monitoring of animal cruelty in Schindler’s List leads to some big laughs. Gervais is also quite happy to include himself in the mass of humanity at which he takes aim, and many of those who have absorbed a social media-based view of the man might be surprised at the level of self-awareness his comedy possesses.
At less inspired moments, however, there’s a sense that the star started with an idea to piss someone off, and worked backward to find a joke. Jokes about paedophilia and disability are clearly written with no concern for anyone’s feelings, which is no problem in itself, but you may find yourself wishing he’d edited his script more with an eye to maximum comedic impact rather than cheering his own willingness to offend quite so much.
Then again, the normal province of the stand-up is to rant about what irritates them, and people who are too sensitive to jokes really do irritate Ricky Gervais. Like his other specials, Armageddon is punctuated by asides on the nature and the purpose of humour, and frustration that the world is too full of people who take jokes both too literally and too seriously.
Previously Gervais has been pilloried in particular for his material on the transgender community, and even while he revels in the anger of his critics and the notoriety it affords him, it obviously does still rankle him to some extent that his jokes have been seen as harmful, particularly when contrasted with other problems of the world.
There are no rants on gender in this special, but the odd mention crops up, seemingly more as a nod to what he sees as the absurdity of past criticisms than anything particularly related to the subject at hand.
It is, to some extent, a fool’s errand to review a stand-up comedy show, because it is a self-reviewing artform. When you get on stage and tell jokes, the audience will either laugh or they won’t, and that reaction makes anything a critic can say kind of irrelevant.
He’s one of the world’s most successful stand-ups, and no matter how much that might rankle with some, it gives him pretty much the perfect riposte to any critic.
Nevertheless, from someone who’s been a diehard fan of everything Gervais has done for a couple of decades, Armageddon feels like a piece of work unworthy of its creator’s great talents. There are plenty of laughs, but they just don’t seem as plentiful, or as memorable, as they have been in the past. If Gervais has begun to rest on his laurels, after all he’s achieved, you might not blame him, but as he finishes his set with some trademark “but seriously” material, the feeling that the blade, if not entirely dulled, could use some sharpening before the next outing, is inescapable.

PGA Tour seeks extension on commercial deal with Saudis, private investors
- Country:
- United States
The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.” The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

Branden Carlson scores 27 of 34 in 2nd half, Utah rallies to beat Washington 95-90
SALT LAKE CITY — Branden Carlson scored 27 of his career-high 34 points in the second half and Gabe Madsen had a double-double to help Utah rally from a 15-point deficit and beat Washington 95-90 Sunday.
Carlson made 14 of 23 from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range, and finished with seven rebounds and seven assists and Madsen had 11 points and 11 rebounds. Rollie Worster had 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals for Utah (11-2, 2-0 Pac-12).
The Utes have won eight games in a row since suffering back-to-back losses to No. 3 Houston and St. John’s in mid-November.
Madsen hit two 3s while Deivon Smith and Keba Keita each scored five points in a 17-6 run that gave Utah a one-point lead, its first since midway through the first half. Wilhelm Breidenbach made 1-of-2 free throws put the Huskies in front 69-68 with 8:47 to play but Carlson hit a 3-pointer 17 seconds later and the Utes trailed the rest of the way.
Carlson scored 16 points in the final seven minutes and Utah, which finished 10 of 22 (45%) from the free-throw line, hit 6 of 10 foul shots in the final minute-plus.
Keion Brooks Jr. led Washington with 25 points, Koren Johnson scored 17 and Wilhelm Breidenbach had 15 points and six rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench.
The Huskies (8-5, 0-2 Pac-12), who had their four-game win streak snapped Friday at Colorado, have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Washington made just two of its first 17 field-goal attempts as Utah jumped to an 18-7 lead when Cole Bajema, who finished with 11 points, made a layup with 11:45 left in the first half. After the teams exchanged layups, Breidenbach hit a 3-pointer and followed with a layup to spark a 23-2 run — including nine points from Brooks and a four-point play by Johnson — that gave Washington a 10-point lead. Johnson made a layup to stretch the lead to 15 before the Huskies took a 46-35 advantage into halftime.
Washington made just 14 of 41 (34%) from the field in the first half but didn't commit a turnover, while forcing eight by the Utes, and outscored Utah 13-1 from the free-throw line.
Utah made 37 of 70 (53%) overall, including 11 of 24 (46%) from 3-point range, and shot 69% (22 of 32) in the second half.
Washington's Braxton Meah, who started at center in place of the injured Franck Kepnang, played just 10 foul-plagued minutes and finished with two points and three rebounds.
Washington kicks off a three-game home stand Thursday against Oregon. Utah heads to the desert to play Arizona State on Thursday.
