Malik Monk, Domantas Sabonis lead the Kings to a 123-92 victory over the Grizzlies
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — 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.
UP NEXT
Kings: Open a four-game homestand against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.
Grizzlies: Continue a three-game homestand, hosting the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.

US Navy sinks 3 Houthi boats attacking merchant ship in Red Sea, US says
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:24 pm(NEW YORK) -- U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire and and sank three small boats carrying Houthi militants in the Red Sea on Sunday, after U.S. warships responded to a distress call from a merchant vessel, military officials said.
A Maersk container ship, the Singapore-flagged Hangzhou, issued a distress call at about 6:30 a.m. local time, U.S. Central Command said in a statement on Sunday. The merchant vessel said four small boats were attacking it.
"The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired crew-served and small-arms weapons at the Maersk Hangzhou, getting to within 20 meters of the vessel, and attempted to board the vessel," Central Command said.
Helicopters from two U.S. ships -- the USS Eisenhower and the USS Gravely -- responded and issued verbal calls to the small boats, U.S. officials said.
While the helicopters were "in the process of issuing verbal calls to the small boats, the small boats fired upon the U.S. helicopters with crew served weapons and small arms," Central Command said.
Service members aboard the Navy helicopters returned fire and sank three of the four small boats, killing the crews, U.S. officials said. The fourth boat fled the area.
In a statement Sunday, the Houthis said they lost 10 group members after U.S. forces fired on their vessels, referring to the engagement as "dangerous behavior" that will have "negative repercussions."
The group also said it will continue operating in the Red Sea. "The American enemy bears the consequences of this crime and its repercussions," the group said, in part.
The group also reiterated that it will "not hesitate to confront any aggression" against Yemen and renewed its "advice to all countries not to be drawn into the American plans aimed at igniting the conflict in the Red Sea."
The U.S. does not seek to escalate the conflict, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on "Good Morning America" on Sunday.
"We don't seek a conflict wider in the region and we're not looking for a conflict with the Houthis," Kirby told ABC News' Whit Johnson. "The best outcome here would be for the Houthis to stop these attacks as we have made clear over and over again."
Sunday's incident was the second time in 24 hours that the Hangzhou had issued a distress call, U.S. Navy officials said.
The ship had been traveling on Saturday evening about 55 nautical miles southwest of Al Hudaydah, Yemen, when it was hit by an unknown object, a Maersk spokesperson told ABC News.
The 14,000-container vessel continued north afterward, heading toward its destination of Port Suez, Egypt.
"Maersk can also confirm that after the initial attack on the vessel, four boats approached the vessel and engaged fire in an expected attempt to board the vessel," said Adhish Alawani, a Maersk spokesperson.
Maersk has delayed all transits through the area for the next 48 hours, as the incident is investigated, he said.
Kirby emphasized the importance of the Red Sea shipping corridor and the critical need to keep it safe and open for international commerce.
Asked if a pre-emptive strike is on the table, Kirby said "we're not ruling anything in or out."
"We have made it clear publicly to the Houthis and privately to our allies and partners, and we're going to make the right decisions going forward," he added.

How to make a New Year’s resolution stick, from the people who’ve done it
For many of us, the dawn of a new year means thinking about the kind of person we want to be in 2024. Each year, we vow to be fitter, more financially savvy, more charitable. Then, despite good intentions, we give up half way and promise to do better next year. So, rather than cajole you about why you need a New Year’s resolution or why most fail, we thought we’d go straight to the source and ask people who actually stuck to theirs.
Below, three Australians share how they smashed their goals in 2023, and what they learnt along the way.
‘I conquered my fear of ocean swimming’
In 2021, Senta Hoyne was on holidays when she encountered a near-death experience.“I found myself trapped in a dangerous un-patrolled surf and didn’t know if I was going to make it out alive.” Having always been a pool swimmer, she says she was never very confident in the ocean – something she decided to change at the beginning of 2023. By early December, the 47-year-old mother of three had achieved her goal of completing a two-kilometre ocean swim from Bondi to Bronte in Sydney’s east.
Being a night owl, the early mornings were a challenge at first. “I found the best thing was to not think about it and just move your body in the direction of where it needs to go. And by the time you’re fully conscious you’re too far committed to turn back,” she says. Hoyne started small, doing laps in the pool before choosing calm days to swim at Bondi. Her biggest fear to conquer, she says, was getting in and out past the waves.
Another challenge for Hoyne was asking to join a swimming group – she knew she’d need to be confident swimming with others if she were to compete in a race. She hesitated, asking herself, “was I going to be good enough? Fast enough? Will they look down on me because I’m a pool swimmer?”
Ultimately, Hoyne ended up joining three different groups, who she says were all “joyous and kind” despite her initial reservations. They also helped her become a better swimmer – one group helped increase her speed, while another helped hone her technique.
They also helped her overcome her fear. “Swimming with a group really made me realise that swimming in the ocean with its natural habitat and wildlife is a privilege and not something to be scared of.”
She says having time for herself each morning has been incredible for her mental health. “Being a mother of three young girls and being able to carve out time for yourself just sets you up for a win. You just feel that whatever happens that day you’re ready for it.” Hoyne adds that she’s proud to have shown her daughters they can achieve whatever they set their mind to.
‘I had dinner with a stranger each week’
At the beginning of 2023, Jessie Wright set out to have dinner with a stranger each week. A self-confessed introvert, her rather unconventional resolution was a bold step. The 30-something had moved to Melbourne during COVID and was going through a break-up. She was lonely, looking for new friends, and, after listening to an episode of former monk Jay Shetty’s podcast, set herself a weekly goal of having dinner with a friend. Wright posted about this resolution to her Instagram stories, prompting over 100 messages from women keen to have dinner with her.
She says the Thursday dinners were far more daunting than dating. “People go on [romantic] dates all the time, but there seems to be this natural understanding that it’s OK if they don’t like you. Whereas with friends, I just had this deep fear of going to meet these wonderful women and what if they didn’t like me?”
Wright, who has since gone viral on TikTok for her “dinner with 52 strangers” series, says her internet following helped hold her accountable. And she says no matter how bad her day, and how many times she wanted to cancel, she always came out feeling better for it. “There’s this magic thing about sitting down with somebody and getting to introduce yourself and getting to know someone. There’s nothing like sitting down and hearing about somebody else’s story or their life. These dinners had a really nice way of putting things in perspective for me.”
Besides gaining a host of new friends, Wright says she’s learned a lot about friendship itself through the process. “Sometimes we stay in our heads for a really long time about things. But I am just going to say to myself, ‘let’s just go for dinner with a new friend. You’re looking for new connections, do it, jump on it, let’s just make it happen.’”
“There’s something in that for me that I want to take into my everyday life moving forward.”
Her biggest piece of advice for those wanting to make new friends, is to be intentional. “We’re so intentional about dating. We’re so intentional about so many other aspects in our life. But when it comes to friends, we seem to be quite passive,” she says.
“The difference between 2023 versus 2022 for me is that I was really clear that I was looking to make new friendships. Being really clear with intentions and verbalising them has been a really big lesson.”
‘I rediscovered my love of reading’
For 30-year-old Lieza Jordan, her 2023 New Year’s resolution was all about investing in a hobby. “I used to be such a big reader when I was a child and as I grew up and got a little bit busier, I kind of dropped the ball on reading.” The Sydney-based communications coordinator set herself the goal of reading 25 books, which she had already exceeded by December.
At the beginning of the year, Jordan made a list of books she wanted to read, and aimed to finish about two per month. To help stay on track, she used the productivity software Notion, charting her progress using graphs and rating each book once she finished. BookTok, TikTok’s passionate community of avid readers, also became something of a virtual book club for Jordan – suggesting new books and connecting her with like-minded users. She says reading series also kept her motivated to complete her goal.
Jordan says her new reading habit has improved her day-to-day wellbeing by reducing her pre-sleep screen time and improving her mental clarity. “When I was reading before bed, I definitely felt like I had a better sleep,” she says. “At the same time, having that motivation to read when I woke up helped me get out of bed. I just felt like my brain was a little bit more switched on, instead of just scrolling through TikTok.”
Next year, Jordan is aiming to read 40 books, alongside smashing some other personal goals.

Naomi Osaka wins her opening match on return to elite tennis at the Brisbane International
- Country:
- Australia
Naomi Osaka's first win at the elite level since becoming a mother didn't come easily. It did come on Day 1 of the year, though. So that was two items Osaka checked off the list Monday for her comeback to professional tennis.
The former No. 1-ranked Osaka was broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set and needed three match points before converting in the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the first round of the Brisbane International.
“I was super nervous the whole time,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player.
A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year's Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her partner, rapper Cordae, became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July.
Osaka had only played one game since her first-round exit at the 2022 U.S. Open. She was leading Daria Gavrilova 1-0 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September of that year before the Australian retired from the match with injury.
Osaka said she has a renewed focus on living in the moment when it comes to her tennis.
“The last couple years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn't return as much love as I was given,” she told the crowd at Pat Rafter Arena. ''So I really feel like that's what I want to do in this chapter.
''I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me.
Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Victoria Azarenka, Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens are also in the 64-player women's draw at the Brisbane International, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Swinney: Clemson RB Shipley has no structural damage in left leg, no surgery necessary
CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson running back Will Shipley has no structural damage and won't need surgery after a scary injury late in the team's Gator Bowl win over Kentucky on Friday.
Tigers coach Dabo Swinney confirmed details of Shipley's MRI through a spokesman Sunday.
Shipley looked to be seriously hurt after a 60-yard, fourth-quarter kickoff return in which he stumbled and somersaulted before hitting the ground. He came up holding his left leg and was carted off the field with a towel over his head.
But, a short time after, Shipley returned to the field with crutches to celebrate the Tigers' 38-35 victory with his teammates.
Swinney said during his postgame session that the injury did not appear serious, but he would need an MRI to be sure.
Shipley, the 5-foot-11, 210-pound junior tailback from Weddington, North Carolina, has not yet announced whether he will enter the NFL draft or return to Clemson for his senior year.
Shipley finished with 827 yards rushing and five touchdowns this season. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/college/college-football/Clemson-Will-Shipley-MRI-b85741 | 2024-01-01T04:40:55Z |
EBRD steps up support for renewable energy production in Kazakhstan
The proposed financing package arranged by the EBRD includes a local currency loan of up to US$ 40.4 million in Kazakhstan Tenge and a loan of up to US$ 10 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
The new plant, which will be located in Chulakkurgan, south Kazakhstan, will generate over 102 GWh of electricity per year and will help reduce CO2 emission by 86,000 tons per year.
The EBRD has again teamed up for this investment with Risen Energy, China's leading solar modules producer and project developer. It is the EBRD's second project with Risen after the two organisations worked together to deliver a 40MW solar plant in the Karaganda region of the country.
The latest project is the eighth to be signed under the Bank's Kazakhstan Renewables Framework, a €200 million facility for financing renewable energy projects in Central Asia, which benefits from a US$ 110 million contribution from the GCF.
Separately earlier this month, a new 100MW solar plant was launched in the Karaganda region of north Kazakhstan. The project was developed by Joachim Goldbeck Holding GmbH of Germany and co-financed by the EBRD and the GCF.
In 2018, under the Green Economy Transition Approach, the Bank mobilised investments worth €3.4 billion into green economy projects.
To date, EBRD has invested a total of over $ 8.85 billion in the economy of Kazakhstan through 254 projects. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/ebrd-steps-up-support-for-renewable-energy-production-in-kazakhstan_a3492867/ | 2024-01-01T04:40:54Z |

Frankie Collins scores 25 with 6 steals; ASU erases 16-point deficit, beats Cal 71-69
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — 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.

Stephen Boyle says living on Dangar Island, on the Hawkesbury River, is a bit like Gertrude Stein’s famous adage about Majorca. “It’s paradise - if you can stand it.”
And now there is trouble in paradise. A Hornsby Shire Council decision to change about 70 parking spots in Brooklyn, on the mainland, from unlimited to a time limit of four hours caused mayhem for river residents who need to leave their vehicles there and boat over to their homes. Like other river hamlets, Dangar Island has no cars.
At a December 13 meeting, following a concerted campaign by those affected, councillors partially reversed course, agreeing to halve the number of time-limited spaces to 35. Boyle, president of the Dangar Island League community group, describes it as a “stay of execution”.
But the core problem, a lack of parking in Brooklyn at busy times, remains, while the debate has divided river residents from their mainland counterparts, who by and large supported the change.
“What you have achieved is to divide what was a harmonious community between the Brooklyn agitators and everyone else,” Stephen Bruggeman of the Brooklyn Mooring Cooperative told the meeting. “It’s such a shame what you’ve done to that amazing little community we had there.”
About 700 people live in Brooklyn and 300 on Dangar Island, with another 200 or so scattered around the river in hamlets such as Little Wobby. Though beautiful, island life is not for everyone. Shopping typically means taking your boat or the ferry to Brooklyn, then driving half an hour to Hornsby. The train comes once an hour.
If river residents can’t find a parking space near the wharf, they’re usually forced up a steep hill towards Upper McKell Park. If they have heavy groceries, they’ll drop the bags at the wharf while they look for parking. That has created its own issues: brush turkeys have been pilfering people’s unattended groceries.
Stephen Cribb from Little Wobby calls the hilltop carpark “the moon” because “it’s so far from the river you might as well be on the moon”. While it is, in fact, only 200 or so metres, the hill is steep, and the area is poorly lit at night.
“We have had shift workers trudging in the dark after very long shifts in very unsafe conditions,” Dangar Island’s Henry Innis told the December council meeting.
Innis’ speech was warmly received by the river residents who packed the council chambers that night, prompting Liberal mayor Philip Ruddock to issue a stern warning against clapping.
“Let me be very clear,” Ruddock said. “These meetings are orderly. We do not encourage applause, and I will clear the gallery if it continues.”
Advocates for restricted parking said the limited resources needed to be shared. While Brooklyn is usually sleepy during the week, on weekends and school holidays it teems with locals and visitors looking to fish, camp or get out on the water.
The lone councillor to oppose the policy backflip, Liberal Nathan Tilbury, said some river residents occupied the untimed spaces with their cars and trailers for days, weeks or even longer, squeezing out other users. “This is not car parking, this is car storage,” he said.
Brooklyn Community Association president Cindy Corkery begged councillors to “resist being swayed” by the river residents’ passionate pleas. “We do appreciate that some of our neighbours face hardships,” she said. “Please know, we hear you. However, we also hear the families who want safe access to the recreational opportunities and to our businesses.”
Hornsby Shire Council is working on a place plan for Brooklyn which will investigate longer-term solutions to parking woes. But Ruddock told the river residents he did not think the council would attain any funding from the state government “in the present political environment”.
He said he was disappointed river and mainland residents hadn’t been able to come up with a solution among themselves without the council getting involved.
“The only reason we came to have a council position was because of the failure to be able to achieve that outcome,” Ruddock said. “I would encourage you all to continue to talk to each other because this situation is only going to be able to be addressed when there is a degree of unity.”
Is that possible? Boyle, the Dangar Island community leader, thanked councillors for the partial backflip and says river dwellers know they must contribute to a long-term fix. But Cribb, from Little Wobby, had his doubts.
“Unfortunately, Brooklyn is being loved to death,” he said. “All the river people have just had their lives diminished. People are saying they have to leave. This is the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

PGA Tour working to extend negotiations with PIF, memo says
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:31 pmByMARK SCHLABACH
The PGA Tour is working to extend its negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to form a new for-profit entity, tour commissioner Jay Monahan told golfers in a memo Sunday.
The surprising alliance, which was announced June 6, had a framework agreement that was scheduled to expire Sunday. Monahan, however, said in the memo that the sides are working to extend negotiations into 2024 based on progress made in the talks.
Monahan said the PGA Tour was close to finalizing a deal with Strategic Sports Group (SSG), a consortium of billionaire team owners that includes Tom Werner and John Henry ( Boston Red Sox), Arthur Blank ( Atlanta Falcons) and Wyc Grousbeck ( Boston Celtics), and that the PGA Tour hopes to have SSG, the PIF and DP World Tour as minority investors in the new for-profit, PGA Tour Enterprises.
“As you know, the [PGA Tour policy board] unanimously directed management to pursue exclusive negotiations with SSG,” Monahan wrote in the memo, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN. “I am pleased to report that we have made meaningful progress and have provided SSG with the due diligence information they requested. As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents.”
ESPN previously reported that the deal with SSG would infuse more than $3 billion into PGA Tour Enterprises, according to sources. If a deal is reached with both SSG and the PIF, more than $7 billion might be invested into PGA Tour Enterprises, which would combine the commercial assets of the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and PIF, including the rival LIV Golf League.
Under the terms of the agreements, the PGA Tour would retain control of the new for-profit entity.
“Our goal for 2024 is to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the DP World Tour, bringing them on board as minority co-investors in PGA Tour Enterprises,” Monahan wrote. “These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors.”
The potential deals would stabilize a fractured sport that has been stung by player defections, a federal antitrust lawsuit and skyrocketing operational costs as the rival circuits have battled for the best golfers in the world over the past two years.
The LIV Golf League poached Spain’s Jon Rahm on Dec. 7 with a multiyear contract worth more than $300 million, according to sources. Sources told ESPN that LIV Golf is actively recruiting other PGA Tour players to fill out a new team that will be captained by Rahm during the 2024 season. | https://ktbb.com/post/?p=1285772 | 2024-01-01T04:40:58Z |
Seahawks lose control of playoff destiny because of poor tackling against Steelers
SEATTLE — For the second consecutive season, the Seattle Seahawks will go into the final week of the regular season needing help from others in order to reach the postseason.
Finding themselves in this situation was entirely self-inflicted this time around.
“I never imagined we’d be in this situation again, but here we are,” Seattle quarterback Geno Smith said.
In control of their path to the postseason entering the week, the Seahawks (8-8) collapsed defensively on Sunday in a 30-23 loss to Pittsburgh. It was a siege of physical running from the Pittsburgh duo of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren and some awful tackling that allowed the Steelers to take control of the game.
The result left Pete Carroll disappointed, the Seattle locker room frustrated and the Seahawks understanding they kicked aside their clearest path to the postseason.
“There’s one game to go, and we don’t know what the scenario is going to bring us,” Carroll said. “We’ve been here before. I think it was last year, pretty much the same thing. We’ve got to go to Arizona and go play really well and get a win and see where that leaves us.”
The onus of this loss was again on Seattle’s defense that has gotten progressively worse as the season has progressed. After showing signs of improvement early in the season, the Steelers became the ninth team in the past 11 games to top 100 yards rushing against the Seahawks.
Pittsburgh finished with 208 yards rushing, the second most allowed this season by Seattle. The Steelers were the sixth straight opponent to run for at least 135 yards. Since Carroll took over in Seattle in 2010, only 15 teams had rushed for 200 or more yards prior to the Steelers on Sunday.
And when Harris and Warren were hit by Seattle’s defenders, it rarely was the first person that brought them down. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Harris gained 118 of his 122 yards after contact.
“We just knew they were going to come out running the football,” Seattle rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon said. “We knew that was the game plan to stop the run, but we didn’t do it. They came out and they ran the football down our throat. They were able to get into their play-action game right after that. It was just a tough day for us.”
The Steelers were quick to praise the work of their offensive line, and the success running the ball — especially in the first half when Pittsburgh rushed for 145 yards — allowed some opportunities in the pass game to open in the second half.
While Harris and Warren were the keys, two of the biggest plays of the second half were passes from Mason Rudolph to George Pickens. The first covered 34 yards on a key third down midway through the fourth quarter. The other with two minutes left went for 24 yards.
“It wasn’t anything that I hadn’t seen before. They just beat us on the line of scrimmage. They beat us physically. That’s it,” Seattle linebacker Devin Bush said.
Last season, Seattle needed a win in Week 18 at home against the Los Angeles Rams and then help to get into the postseason as the No. 7 seed. They got that help when Detroit beat Green Bay in the final game of the 2022 regular season.
This season, Seattle will go to Arizona next week needing a win and some amount of help yet again, which makes it an uncomfortable position and scenario to go through yet again, especially for a team that was 6-3 in mid-November.
“Next week is not going to be an easy game. We’ve got to go out there in their place and make it happen,” Smith said. “We’re the type of team that’s going to always bounce back. We’ve got the right leadership. We’ve got the right coaches, right players, and we’re going to make it happen. We’re going to find a way to make it happen.” | https://www.newsday.com/sports/football/Seattle-Seahawks-playoff-race-u26121 | 2024-01-01T04:41:01Z |

Warner announces ODI retirement ahead of swansong Test at SCG

Batting stalwart David Warner on Monday announced his retirement from ODI cricket alongside the end of his Test career here this week but will be continue to play T20 cricket for Australia.
The 37-year-old swashbuckling opener, however, kept the door open for himself to be available for the 2025 Champions Trophy if the Australian team needs him. Ahead of his swansong Test at his hometown venue SCG, Warner revealed that Australia's World Cup final victory over India in November was his last match in the 50-over format.
''I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well. That was something that I had said through the (50-over) World Cup (in India in 2023), get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement,'' he said at a press conference at the SCG on Monday.
''So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit,'' said an emotional Warner. ''I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up. If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available.'' Considered as one of Australia's and world's most destructive batters in recent times, Warner ended his one-day career as a two-time world champion after finishing the 2023 World Cup in India as his team's leading run scorer.
The left-handed opener made his ODI debut in 2009 in a match against South Africa in Hobart. Since then, he has played 161 ODIs, scoring 6932 runs at an average of 45.30 with the help of 22 hundreds and 33 fifties.
He is Australia's sixth-highest run-scorer in men's ODIs and second on the hundreds list behind Ricky Ponting who played 205 more ODI innings than Warner.
In the 111 Tests he has played so far, Warner has scored 8695 runs at an average of 44.58 with 26 hundreds and 36 fifties.
He will continue to be available for Australia in T20 cricket and is hopeful of featuring in their World Cup campaign in that format in June in the Caribbean and USA. After the ODI World Cup in India, Warner had hinted at pushing on until 2027 although he will have been 41 by then. He said that the way the team had rebounded in India made it the ideal finishing point.
Warner holds an IPL contract with the Delhi Capitals and he could be one of the most sought after cricketers on the domestic T20 circuit.
''I definitely am keen to pursue playing Big Bash next year. There's going to be conversations behind the scenes to allow me to do that,'' he said.
''Obviously I've joined the Fox commentary team next year during the Test series against India, which I'm looking forward to. There's a BBL window that we're able to play, and then quite clearly there has been a lot of talk about the ILT20 which will be starting, I'm pretty sure, after the BBL.'' Warner has been appointed the new captain of International League T20 (ILT20) franchise Dubai Capitals for the upcoming 2024 season.

Cyclist Rohan Dennis drove ute that killed Olympian wife Melissa Hoskins
By Jacob Shteyman, Roger Vaughan and Lachlan Abbott
Two-time Olympian and former world champion cyclist Melissa Hoskins has died after she was struck by a ute her Olympic cyclist husband Rohan Dennis was driving in Adelaide’s inner north.
Paramedics rushed Hoskins to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with serious injuries after she was hit in the suburb of Medindie on Saturday night.
The 32-year-old mother of two died overnight.
Police arrested her husband, 33-year-old former professional cyclist Dennis, who was driving the ute. He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life. Dennis was bailed to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court in March.
Hoskins won gold in the team pursuit at the 2015 world championships and rode in the team pursuit at two Olympic Games. She finished fourth at the 2012 London Games, but a serious training crash caused her to eventually miss the 2016 Rio final.
Dennis retired from the sport last year, having won stages at all three grand tours – the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a Espana.
Anna Meares, one of Australia’s greatest track cyclists and a two-time Olympic gold medallist, mourned Hoskins on social media.
“I have a very heavy heart,” Meares wrote on Monday morning. “My thoughts are with their children, family and fellow friends. This is a very difficult and tragic time. RIP.”
Mike Tomalaris, a former long-time SBS cycling presenter and Tour de France host, said on social media Hoskins’ death and Dennis’ arrest was “difficult to comprehend”.
“This is so sad. A disaster,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Heartbreaking!”
CPA Women, the international association of professional female cyclists, said it was shocked by Hoskins’ death.
“We send our thoughts to those who love her, starting with her children, and were lucky enough to ride with her during an all too short life,” the union said on social media. “We will miss you Melissa.”
AusCycling chief executive Marne Fechner said Hoskins’ retired at 25 but had “shown the world she was an athlete of rare prowess”.
“It was with shock and sorrow that we learned of Melissa Hoskins’ tragic death,” she said.
“Melissa, a mother, daughter, and wife, was also a champion cyclist who thrilled and inspired us with her exquisite skills on the track and road.”
She said the organisation would determine an appropriate way to memorialise the cyclist and her contribution.
SBS cycling commentator Matthew Keenan also paid tribute.
“My thoughts are with Melissa Hoskins, her kids, family and friends. #RIP,” he posted on X.
Australian pro-cyclist Tiffany Cromwell said on Instagram she “can’t quite believe the news”. “A life gone far too young. RIP Mel,” she wrote.
Born in Perth in 1991, Hoskins also competed in road cycling between 2012 and 2015 with Australian professional team GreenEDGE. She married Dennis in February 2018, following her retirement from cycling the previous year.
Police said major crash officers attended the scene of the death along with detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Dennis twice won stages of the Tour de France in 2015, including stage one after which he held the yellow, green and white jerseys concurrently. He is a two-time Olympic medallist, won a silver medal for the team pursuit in 2012 and a bronze medal for the men’s individual time trial in 2021. He also claimed the world hour record in 2015.

Stanford closes out nonconference play with a 98-38 rout of Morgan State
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Cameron Brink had 18 points, five rebounds and six blocked shots to lead No. 9 Stanford to a 98-38 win over Morgan State on Sunday night.
Elena Bosgana had 14 points and six rebounds, and Hannah Jump added 13 points on 6-for-10 shooting as Stanford (11-1) won its seventh straight home game.
Laila Fair led Morgan State (4-9) with eight points and eight rebounds.
Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer won her 1,198th career game, moving five wins away from the all-time record for career victories in college basketball (men’s or women’s) held by former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Stanford took control of the game early, outscoring Morgan State 29-15 in the first quarter.
The Cardinal allowed just six Morgan State points in the second quarter and held the Bears to 27.8% shooting from the field in the first half. Brink was a big part of Stanford’s success in the first half, scoring 16 points, blocking five shots and grabbing four rebounds.
At halftime, Stanford led 51-21.
The Cardinal continued to dominate in the second half. Stanford won the third quarter by a wide margin, outscoring the Bears 24-6.
Stanford’s defense forced 20 turnovers, which led to 33 points. Morgan State shot 26.1% from the field for the game.
The Cardinal closed their nonconference schedule with a 12-1 record. Their only loss came on the road against Gonzaga on Dec. 3.

Murray throws 3 TD passes as Cardinals rally past Eagles, disrupt Philly’s playoff path
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:34 pmByDAN GELSTON AP sports writer
PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts’ desperation heave was intercepted to seal the Eagles’ fourth loss this month and one that meant so much more.
Philadelphia’s shot at the top spot in the NFC? Gone. The bye and home-field edge goes to the 49ers. The NFC East crown? Once in their grasp, the Eagles now need help from — yikes, Washington — to win a second straight division title.
The team that opened December 9-1 and looked like a favorite to return to the Super Bowl unraveled Sunday with a 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and now faces the grim reality of opening the playoffs on the road.
“We’ve got to get things fixed,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “And we’ve got to get them fixed fast.”
Where to start is the hard part.
James Conner ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 32 seconds remaining and Kyler Murray threw three TD passes for Arizona, which rallied from a 15-point deficit.
Former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon returned to Philly and got his biggest win yet in his first season as Arizona’s coach. Granted, there haven’t been many of them for the Cardinals (4-12).
The Eagles (11-5) could have won the NFC East with wins against Arizona and the New York Giants next week. Now, Dallas can win the division with a win next week at Washington.
The Eagles could still earn the No. 2 seed with a win at the Giants and a Cowboys loss.
“Man, I’m not worried at all but there’s a lot to learn from a game like this,” defensive end Brandon Graham said.
Maybe he should be concerned. The Eagles have played more like a team bound for a quick playoff exit than one that could make a second straight trip to the Super Bowl.
There was plenty of blame to go around: a discombobulated offense that included indecisive play-calling late in the game, a running game that never got going and a defense that couldn’t get off the field.
The series of blunders included Sirianni running out of timeouts on the Eagles’ final drive and a late-game first-and-20 (because of offensive holding) that saw the Eagles run twice and try a short pass that only got them 5 yards.
“We’re in the playoffs. Lot of teams want to be in the playoffs,” Sirianni said. “We can still do some things here.”
Murray finished 25 of 31 for 232 yards and got stronger as the game progressed, overcoming a 99-yard pick-6 by Sydney Brown early in the second quarter. Conner rushed for 128 yards on 26 carries.
“With everything that’s happened, a lot of disappointment this year, a lot of tough losses,” Murray said. “But trying to finish the season off the right way.”
The Cardinals rallied from a 21-6 halftime deficit on the strength of Murray’s two TD tosses in the third quarter that tied the game at 21-all.
Hurts put the Eagles ahead in the fourth with his third TD pass of the game, a 9-yarder to Dallas Goedert.
Normally, that would be enough to win a game at the Linc. But Philly’s defense couldn’t hold on. Cornerback Kelee Ringo was flagged for pass interference and the Cardinals used the extra 29 yards to help tie game 28-28 with 5:26 left. Murray hit Michael Wilson for a 5-yard TD.
Jake Elliott kicked a 43-yard field goal with 2:33 left to give the Eagles their last lead.
Murray had plenty of time to move the Cardinals into scoring position. He hit Greg Dorch for a 36-yard gain that brought Arizona to the Eagles 5 and set up Conner’s decisive score.
The Cardinals finished with 449 yards of offense and scored touchdowns on all four possessions in the second half.
Gannon certainly had reason to gloat — his successor, Sean Desai, already had his play-calling duties stripped during this morbid stretch and turned over to Matt Patricia. No matter who is calling the shots this month, the Eagles’ defense has been steamrolled. The Cardinals rushed for 221 yards and never punted.
“We still have everything in front of us,” Hurts said.
FAST PHILLY START
The Eagles at last made solid use of 34-year-old receiver Julio Jones, signed in October to provide some depth.
The seven-time Pro Bowl selection had just seven catches for 27 yards and two touchdowns entering the game. He wasn’t supposed to be a top target, of course, not with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both topping the 1,000-yard receiving mark this season.
Jones caught a 12-yard TD pass in the first quarter and had a 22-yard TD with 16 seconds left in the second.
Hurts’ three TD passes brought his total to a franchise-record 38 touchdowns this season. He had already set an NFL QB record with 15 rushing touchdowns. Hurts in 2022 and Randall Cunningham in 1990 both accounted for 35 TDs for the Eagles.
DEFENSIVE GEM
Brown, a rookie safety out of Illinois, circled under a pass from Murray at the Eagles 1-yard line and streaked down the sideline, then zig-zagged into the end zone to give Philly a 14-3 lead. Brown reached a top speed of 21.52 mph and traveled 126.7 total yards on the 99-yard return, per Next Gen Stats.
FAKE OUT
The Eagles used a fake play off the tush push to get a first down. Hurts lined up under center on third-and-1 and flipped the ball to Kenneth Gainwell, who threw a 17-yard pass to Smith. Hurts found Jones for the 22-yard TD on the next play.
INJURIES
Cardinals CB Garrett Williams left with an ankle injury, and OL D.J. Humphries suffered a knee injury.
UP NEXT
While the Eagles try to finish strong against the Giants next weekend, the Cardinals will try to play spoiler to another playoff contender, hosting the Seattle Seahawks.

Chargers' Khalil Mack gets milestone 100th career sack in LA's 16-9 loss to Broncos
DENVER — Khalil Mack desperately wanted a win for the Los Angeles Chargers. He had to instead settle for a milestone sack in a 16-9 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Mack got the 100th sack of his 10-year career with a signature bull rush that pushed guard Ben Powers right into Jarrett Stidham, toppling the Broncos quarterback on a 3rd-and-20 play early in the second quarter.
Mack was greeted with hugs and pats on his helmet by his teammates and coaches when he returned to the sideline after his career-high 16th sack of the season.
“It was dope. It was dope, but I was focused on trying to get the win,” a subdued Mack said after the game. “It's definitely a significant moment in my career but bittersweet because I wanted to win that game, man.”
The 32-year-old Mack is the 43rd player in NFL history to get 100 sacks. He's also among five active players to hit the century mark. Von Miller of the Buffalo Bills leads that group with 123 1/2.
“It's a landmark number,” interim Chargers coach Giff Smith said. “I mean, you start doing the basic math, it's crazy. It's just a crazy number. I don't know when I got into coaching if I ever thought I'd be a part of something like that and I'm grateful I got to be a part of it.”
Mack is in his second season with the Chargers, joining Los Angeles in a trade by the Chicago Bears. He broke into the NFL in 2014, drafted by the then Oakland Raiders. He was voted the AP NFL defensive player of the year in 2016.
Going into the Chargers' season finale next week against Kansas City, Mack is one sack shy of the Chargers' single-season sack mark. Shawne Merriman, with 17 in 2006, and Leslie O'Neal, with 17 in 1992, jointly hold the mark.
“The sacks are cool and all that, but the way he plays the run and the amount of snaps he's having to play since Joey (Bosa) has been out, and the willingness to give everything for this team speaks volumes," Smith said.

Eurasian Development Bank might co-finance Belarus' road upgrade projects
The parties shared views on the selection, analysis, reconciliation and implementation of investment projects in Belarus. They also discussed a contract with Stadler to purchase ten five-car inter-city and suburban business-class electric trains for Belarusian Railways, as well as the forthcoming renovation of the M10 highway (Russian border-Gomel-Kobrin) and the M3 highway (Minsk-Vitebsk).
Belarusian Railways and Stadler signed the contract in January. In line with the contract, by 2021 Belarusian Railways shall purchase ten modern five-car trains running with alternating current. Maximum speed of the trains is 160 km/h. The first electric train (EMU) is to be delivered at the end of 2020. There were plans to use loans of big foreign banks. Andrei Krainy noted that the EDB will soon announce its decision regarding the project co-financing. On 5 February he toured the Stadler production facility in Fanipol that manufactures the rolling stock for the CIS member states.
Speaking about the road upgrade projects, Andrei Krainy noted that it is a no-rush matter and that the decision could be made by 2020. The bank has studied the project. After that, experts will get down to work; design and construction documents will be drafted, he informed. The project is estimated at €150 million to €450 million, however the estimates are preliminary. "It is a big project for the Eurasian Development Bank and for the Transport and Communications Ministry. The talks have already kicked off. We are waiting for the documents. When we get them, we will resume our work. We will apply for a tender," Andrei Krainy noted. He added that the bank is interested in large-scale long-term infrastructure projects like this.
The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) is an international financial institution founded by Russia and Kazakhstan in January 2006 with a view to facilitating the development of market economies in the member states, their sustainable economic growth, and the expansion of mutual trade and economic ties. The EDB's charter capital stands at $7 billion. The member states of the bank are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan, Kazinform has learnt from BelTA. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/eurasian-development-bank-might-co-finance-belarus-road-upgrade-projects_a3495428/ | 2024-01-01T04:41:08Z |

Mason Marchment has 3 goals and an assist in Stars’ 8-1 rout of Blackhawks
DALLAS (AP) — Mason Marchment had three goals and an assist, Scott Wedgewood made 24 saves to improve to 11-2-2 and the Dallas Stars routed the Chicago Blackhawks 8-1 on Sunday night to complete a two-game set.
Tyler Seguin had a goal and two assists and Roope Hintz, Ryan Suter, Craig Smith and Sam Steel also scored. The Stars matched a season high in goals in their sixth consecutive home victory, two nights after topping the Chicago 5-4 in overtime at American Airlines Center.
Wedgewood made his seventh consecutive start since Jake Oettinger went down with a lower-body injury early in Dallas’ game Dec. 15.
Philipp Kurashev scored for the Blackhawks. They have lost 11 consecutive road games (0-10-1) and have the second-fewest points in the NHL at 24.
Connor Bedard, Chicago’s 18-year-old star, assisted on the power-play goal 39 seconds into the third period for his rookie-leading 33rd point.
Petr Mrazek allowed six goals on 32 shots. He was replaced almost five minutes into the third period by Arvid Soderblom, who gave up two goals on 10 shots.
Hintz had a hat trick Friday and scored again 4:46 into the third period Sunday for his team-high 15th of the season.
Marchment’s first hat trick of the season came with 1:02 to play on a goal that caromed off the leg of Chicago’s Jarred Tinordi. Marchment also scored 16 seconds before the end of a Chicago penalty midway through the second period for a 5-0 lead. He also connected with 5:31 left in the third.

Blackhawks: At Nashville on Tuesday night.

Purdy bounces back, 49ers clinch the NFC’s top seed by beating the Commanders 27-10
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:34 pmBySTEPHEN WHYNO AP sports writer
LANDOVER, Md. — Minutes after rolling to a 27-10 victory at Washington, the San Francisco 49ers watched the final minute of Philadelphia’s game at Arizona together in the visiting locker room.
A loud cheer erupted when the Eagles lost to Arizona in stunning fashion. After Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes to bounce back from the worst game of his NFL career and results elsewhere fell their way, the Niners clinched the top seed in the NFC and the first-round bye and home-field advantage that comes with it.
“Thank you, Cardinals,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “Back in ’19, it took us winning in Seattle on the very last play of the game to secure the 1 seed, and the fact that we were able to get it with one game left in the season is big.”
Wrapping up the No. 1 seed before Week 18 could be a significant advantage for San Francisco (12-4) after losing Christian McCaffrey to a calf injury against the Commanders. The do-it-all running back left the game in the third quarter after gaining 91 scrimmage yards on 18 touches, and coach Kyle Shanahan thinks it could be a strained calf muscle.
“We think he’ll be all right,” Shanahan said. “I don’t know if he would’ve been able to go next week or not, but we’ll have to find out more (Monday). He was moving around all right on the sideline, so hoping it’s not too bad.”
The Niners got touchdown catches from Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and a rushing TD from Elijah Mitchell. Purdy, coming off throwing four interceptions in a humbling home loss to Baltimore, was 22 of 28 for 230 yards to reach 4,280 and break Jeff Garcia’s season franchise record of 4,278 set in 2000.
“To be able to come back and get the ball moving, throw it around to the guys and obviously get the offense to flow again and feeling it, it felt good,” Purdy said.
The defense, also looking to atone for some struggles against the Ravens, intercepted Sam Howell twice — once each by Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir.
Washington (4-12) was not much of an obstacle for the conference’s top team, as Howell added to his NFL lead in interceptions with his 18th and 19th of the season. He was starting only because journeyman Jacoby Brissett was sidelined by a hamstring injury after coach Ron Rivera decided earlier in the week to bench Howell.
“I thought Sam had some really good moments,” Rivera said. “Obviously there were a couple throws I promise you he would wish he had back, but he did a lot of good things.”
The Commanders have lost seven in a row, and as a result of the Cardinals win, could be in line to draft as high as second. While they’re looking ahead to an offseason of change under new ownership, the Niners have their eyes set on a long playoff run.
“We’re going to continue to get better,” Warner said. “We’ve got to make sure we’re our best when our best is needed for when our moment comes.”
HOMECOMING DAY
Former Washington left tackle Trent Williams and edge rusher Chase Young each played his first game back at FedEx Field as a visitor. They walked out of the tunnel and onto the field together for warmups.
Williams was traded to the Niners in 2020 after sitting out the ’19 season because of a dispute with Washington’s front office. Young was sent to San Francisco on Oct. 31 amid reports the coaching staff found him undisciplined and considered his departure addition by subtraction.
Shanahan also spent four seasons as a Washington assistant from 2010-13, working as the offensive coordinator for his dad, Mike. Shanahan said he used to have emotions about facing Washington but that they’re gone now .
“It’s a totally different place here now and different people,” Shanahan said. “Nothing’s personal here anymore. Personal stuff’s gone.”
INJURIES
49ers: Played without injured DT Arik Armstead (foot, knee), S Ji’Ayir Brown (knee), TE Ross Dwelley (ankle), WR Jauan Jennings (concussion) and OT Jaylon Moore (concussion).
Commanders: CB Tarik Castro-Fields left in the first half with a shoulder injury. … CB Christian Holmes was concussed early in the fourth quarter. … RT Andrew Wylie (elbow) was out after being listed as questionable. Trent Scott had a rough, penalty-filled day starting in his place.
UP NEXT
49ers: Host the Los Angeles Rams on Jan. 6 or 7.
Commanders: Host the Dallas Cowboys on Jan. 6 or 7.

Giants vs. Rams Q&A: How did Dane Belton do Sunday?
How did the Giants fare after Jason Pinnock left the game with an injury?
Because of Dane Belton, the answer is very well, thank you.
After Pinnock left the game with a foot injury, Belton filled in and didn’t miss a beat, intercepting two passes and recovering a fumble. He also ran down the Rams' Puka Nacua and knocked him out of bounds at the Giants' 2 after a missed tackle by Adoree' Jackson turned a short completion into an 80-yard catch-and-run.
“I just want to take advantage of my opportunities whenever they come,” Belton said. “I want to stay ready no matter what. I know I can play at this level. When I have my opportunities, I want to show that.”
He did. And at the most opportune time.
Pinnock and Xavier McKinney rarely come off the field. (McKinney and inside linebacker Bobby Okereke have played every snap this season, and Pinnock isn’t far behind.)
Because of McKinney's and Pinnock’s snap counts, Belton has seen his own snap count drop to about half of last year’s.
“Yeah, it has been tough,” he said. “Like I said, I know I can play at this level. That’s nothing against those guys or the coaches or anything. It’s just the opportunity. It has been tough this year, knowing I can go out there and help the team but at the same time, there’s a game plan and they’re going to put the best plan out there. It's just staying ready. When the opportunitiy comes, you have to take advantage of it.”
Belton credited some of his effort against the Rams to getting lucky. But his process doesn’t seem to be from happenstance. He has continued to work, and on Sunday, it paid off.
After a big game, Belton said it’s “brutal not to win.”
“That’s what I’m really thinking about,” he said. “It would have been awesome to finish it out with a win.”
What impact did Darren Waller make?
Waller caught five of his six targets for 55 yards.
After the game, he said, “It doesn’t get more frustrating than that.”
The whole season for Waller has been a challenge. He’s played in only nine games because of hamstring issues that have plagued him over the years.
When he has been on the field, his contributions have been measured.
“There's been a lot of different moments during the season where you just leave frustrated and just leave with a bad taste in your mouth because you know that you should execute better and take advantage of those opportunities to win games,” he said. “And the wins don't just fall in your lap in the NFL. You got to make them happen. And there's been a lot of situations where plays needed to be made. They just didn't get made this year.”
Waller, it seems, made his biggest impact on the Giants during training camp. He was healthy then. There was optimism for what the Giants, with Waller, could be. Now he’ll look to next year, when he will hope to stay healthy. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/football/giants/dane-belton-darren-waller-giants-q0wg4edc | 2024-01-01T04:41:13Z |

Foegele has 2 goals, career-high 5 points in Oilers’ 7-2 rout of Ducks
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Warren Foegele had two goals and a career-high five points, Leon Draisaitl scored for the third straight game and the Edmonton Oilers routed the Anaheim Ducks 7-2 on Sunday to extend their winning streak to five.
Draisaitl and Darnell Nurse each had two assists, and Ryan McLeod had a goal and an assist. Evander Kane, Zack Hyman and Brett Kulak also scored for Edmonton. Calvin Pickard stopped 28 shots.
Connor McDavid had an assist and needs two points to reach 900 for his career.
The Oilers have won 15 of 21 games since Kris Knoblauch took over as coach.
Max Jones and Frank Vatrano had the goals for Anaheim, which has dropped four of five on its eight-game homestand. John Gibson made 32 saves.
Edmonton had a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes before it broke open the game with three goals during the first 12 minutes of the second period. Draisaitl made it 3-1 at 1:48 when he hammered in a one-timer from Nurse at a nearly 90-degree angle. Draisaitl put the puck inside the near post and just beyond Gibson’s glove for his 17th goal of the season.
Foegele then scored the next two in the period for his second multi-goal game of the season. Foegele also helped open the scoring 4:15 into the game when he passed from behind the net to McLeod, who put the puck past Gibson. It was McLeod’s seventh of the season and fifth in five games.
Jones tied it 1-all five minutes later on a rebound in front after Pickard made a pad save on Ryan Strome’s shot. It was his first goal in 14 games and fourth of the season.
Kane produced the go-ahead goal at 17:22 on a wraparound, his 14th of the season.

Steelers keep playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with 30-23 win over Seahawks
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:35 pmByTIM BOOTH AP sports writer
SEATTLE — Najee Harris rushed for a season-high 122 yards and bullied his way into the end zone for a pair of touchdowns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with a 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Using a punishing running attack that faced little resistance from Seattle, the Steelers (9-7) pushed their way into the final week of the regular season with a chance at the postseason and ensured that Mike Tomlin’s team would yet again avoid a losing record.
Harris had not hit the century mark rushing this season, his closest coming when he ran for 99 yards against Cincinnati. But he combined with Jaylen Warren for a running punch that Seattle struggled to stop.
Harris averaged 4.5 yards per carry and reached the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Baltimore. Warren added another 75 yards rushing and scored on a 18-yard run in the first quarter.
Harris scored on a 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter breaking several tackles on his way to the goal line before a final lunge to break the plane. In the third quarter, Harris scored on a 4-yard run with a big assist from his linemen pushing the pile into the end zone to give the Steelers a 24-17 lead.
Pittsburgh thrived against Seattle’s run defense that has been awful for more than half the season and finished with 202 yards rushing and a season-high 468 total yards. Pittsburgh was the sixth straight opponent to rush for at least 135 yards against the Seahawks.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph was 18 of 24 for 274 yards and hit the big throws when needed, none more important than a 34-yard completion to George Pickens on third-and-6 early in the fourth quarter. Pickens made a terrific diving finger-tip catch and led to Chris Boswell’s 26-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 27-20 lead with 7:07 left.
Rudolph also hit Pickens for 24 yards with two minutes left and Seattle desperately needing a stop. Pickens had seven catches for 131 yards.
Seattle (8-8) had its two-game win streak snapped and while the Seahawks weren’t eliminated from the postseason, they will need a victory and a lot of help in Week 18.
Geno Smith threw for 290 yards and a 12-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first half. Kenneth Walker III added 53 yards rushing and a 13-yard TD in the first half, but the Seahawks settled for three field goals in the second half and Smith committed one big turnover.
Nick Herbig forced and recovered a fumble sacking Smith with seven minutes left, giving the Steelers possession at the Seattle 16 and Boswell’s 21-yard field goal with 4:31 left pushed the Pittsburgh lead to 30-20.
INJURIES
Seattle took two major hits to its offensive line. Starting right tackle Abe Lucas played the entire first half, but went to the locker room early before the second quarter ended and was ruled out with a knee injury when the second half started.
Three plays into the third quarter, center Evan Brown had to be helped off the field and was ruled out with a concussion.

Steelers: Pittsburgh will be at Baltimore in Week 18.

Vikings make halftime quarterback switch from Jaren Hall back to Nick Mullens
MINNEAPOLIS — Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell benched starting quarterback Jaren Hall at halftime of Sunday night's game against Green Bay with the Packers leading by 20 points and Minnesota's playoff hopes dwindling.
Nick Mullens replaced Hall, who went 5 of 10 for 67 yards and two turnovers in his second career start. Minnesota entered the game needing a victory to still have a strong chance of reaching the postseason.
The switch to Mullens was O'Connell's third quarterback change in four weeks — all for reasons related to performance.
Since losing Kirk Cousins to a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in Week 8 at Green Bay, the Vikings have used three quarterbacks, a direct reflection of the team’s 7-8 record coming into the week and its four losses in the past five weeks.
Hall, the fifth-round draft pick out of BYU, was the first replacement for Cousins, starting the next week at Atlanta. But Hall suffered a concussion early in the game, leading to Joshua Dobbs getting an opportunity. Dobbs, who had just arrived in a trade from Arizona, provided a temporary spark, leading Minnesota to a pair of wins.
But then Dobbs struggled and was replaced by Mullens in the second half in a win against the Los Angeles Raiders. Mullens had six turnovers in two starts, both losses, leading to O'Connell deciding on Hall as the starter for Sunday night.
But Hall was ineffective, throwing an interception and losing a fumble and leading two other drives that led to punts. He only completed one pass to star receiver Justin Jefferson as the Vikings fell behind 23-3.
Minnesota entered the night with an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth with wins in its final two games. The Vikings close the season at NFC North champion Detroit. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/football/vikings-jaren-hall-nick-mullens-g01319 | 2024-01-01T04:41:19Z |

Exquisite music for cello to be presented in Astana
Wonderful musicians - cellist Yermek Kurmanayev and pianist Anara Kamelinova will perform at the opera house's Chamber Hall.
This evening, cello sonatas by German creative geniuses - great representative of musical classicism Beethoven and outstanding romantic composer Brahms - will be performed. Sonatas for Cello and Piano No. 1 in F-major and No. 2 in G-minor, Op.5 by the founder of the cello sonata genre Ludwig van Beethoven will be featured.
"The author dedicated these works to the King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm II, who was not only a patron of musical art, but also played the cello himself. Beethoven created the sonatas at the age of 26. The young composer proved himself to be a true innovator: he used a rare at the time instrumental ensemble, magnifying the significance of the cello part. Thus, in Beethoven's sonatas, the parts of cello and piano become equal in technical and artistic terms, a sound balance is established between them," Head of the Chamber Hall, musicologist Marzhan Zhakenova noted.
The program also includes Johannes Brahms' Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 2 in F major, Op.99. Large-scale, rich in substance, dramatic composition was written in 1886 at the request of the famous cellist Robert Hausmann. The premiere took place at the Kleine Musikvereinssaal (known as the Brahms Saal since 1937) of the Wiener Musikverein, where the author himself performed the piano part. The work, which has become one of the most exquisite examples of the genre, is characterized by the magnitude of musical ideas, emotional intensity, diversity of lyrical musical images, romantic pathos, vibrancy and contrast range. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/exquisite-music-for-cello-to-be-presented-in-astana_a3493575/ | 2024-01-01T04:41:23Z |

ISRO on Monday successfully launched its maiden X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite that would offer several insights into celestial objects like black holes.
ISRO's ever reliable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in its C58 mission, placed the primary X-Ray Polarimeter satellite XPoSat into a 650 Km Low Earth Orbit as intended after lifting off at the pre-fixed time of 9.10 am from the first launch pad here. As the 25-hour countdown concluded, the 44.4-metre tall rocket lifted off majestically with thunderous applause from spectators who had descended here in large numbers at this spaceport situated about 135 km east of Chennai. The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is aimed to investigate the polarisation of intense X-ray sources in space. According to ISRO, it is the first dedicated scientific satellite from the space agency to carry out research in space-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emission from celestial sources. The X-Ray polarisation serves as a crucial diagnostic tool for examining the radiation mechanism and geometry of celestial sources.
The primary payload of XPoSat is POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-Rays) which is designed to measure polarimetry parameters by Raman Research Institute and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing) built by the U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru. The Mission life is about five years.

Calvin de Haan ends 46-game goal drought with tiebreaking score as Lightning top Canadiens 4-3
TAMPA, Fla. — Calvin de Haan ended his 46-game goal drought with the tiebreaking score in the third period, and the Tampa Bay Lightning rallied past the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 on Sunday night.
The defenseman put Tampa Bay up 3-2 with a shot from the left circle at 7:49 off a pass from Nikita Kucherov, who became the first NHL player to reach 60 points this season. It was his 22nd goal in 606 career games.
“It's nice to score once in a while,” de Haan said with a smile.
Kucherov added an insurance goal before Nick Suzuki pulled Montreal to 4-3 with 2:05 left.
Tampa Bay backup Jonas Johansson made 27 saves in his first game since Dec. 7. The Lightning got also goals from Brayden Point and Austin Watson.
Lightning captain Steven Stamkos had an assist and set a franchise record by playing in his 1,038th game.
Johnathan Kovacevic scored from his own defensive zone and Cole Caufield had the other Montreal goal. Sam Montembeault stopped 16 shots.
“We played well enough to win,” Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson said. “It's too bad.”
Montembeault gloved a blue-line shot by Darren Raddysh. After holding the puck for a few seconds with no whistle from the referees, the goalie dropped the puck to Kovacevic. The defenseman took a couple of strides forward and, seeing that most players thought play was stopped, including Johansson, who had skated into the corner, fired home a long-distance shot into the vacated net to make it 2-0 at 11:59 of the second.
“I was on the ice. I didn't know what happened there for a second,” said Anderson, who thought the play was over.
It was a “weird” situation, de Haan said.
“I've never seen that before,” he explained. “Music came on and everything.”
Point and Watson scored later in the period to tie it at 2. Watson, playing in his 500th game, sent a bouncing shot from along the left-wing boards that eluded Montembeault.
Caufield opened the scoring 3:58 into the second after he stole the puck from Stamkos deep in the Tampa Bay zone.
Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak left after taking a hard check behind the Tampa Bay net from Anderson nine seconds after Caufield’s goal. Anderson was assessed a charging penalty after a video review.
“From what they told me, there's no call on the ice,” Anderson said. “They were just seeing if he touched the puck. Obviously, I was shocked to get the charging penalty there.”
Tampa Bay defenseman Haydn Fleury also left in the second after taking a shot off his right hand. Lightning forward Nicholas Paul skated off gingerly after being hit in the right knee by Stamkos' shot in the third.
Another defenseman, Mikhail Sergachev, missed his fifth straight game after being hit on the back of the left foot by a shot.
Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said it was "a tough night” on the injury front.
Montreal center Christian Dvorak sat out with an upper-body injury.

Nichushkin’s late goal lifts Avalanche over slumping Sharks, 3-1
DENVER (AP) — Valeri Nichushkin scored a tiebreaking goal late in the third period and the Colorado Avalanche beat the slumping San Jose Sharks 3-1 on Sunday night.
Nichushkin also had an assist, Mikko Rantanen scored and Nathan MacKinnon had two assists for Colorado.
MacKinnon extended his home point streak to 19 games, the longest to start a season in franchise history. He matched his longest home point streak, set from Jan. 2 to March 24, and is four games shy of tying Joe Sakic for the club record.
Alexandar Georgiev faced just 11 shots in his 19th win while Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen made 30 saves. Tomas Hertl scored for San Jose, which has lost eight straight games — all in regulation.
The game appeared headed to overtime when the Avalanche got a delayed penalty. With an extra attacker on, Jack Johnson fed Nichushkin for a one-timer at 16:31 of the third. It was his 17th goal of the season.
Josh Manson added an empty-netter at 18:53.
Avalanche defenseman Sam Girard played his first game since receiving care from the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program. Girard last played Nov. 18 and entered the program on Nov. 24, citing anxiety and depression leading to alcohol abuse as the reason for seeking help.
He missed 21 games before returning to the lineup Sunday.
Rantanen gave Colorado a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 6:58 of the first, his 19th of the season. Hertl tied it at 16:53 of the second with his 13th goal, eight seconds into a Sharks power play.

Panthers owner David Tepper tosses drink into visiting stands late in 26-0 loss to Jaguars
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:36 pmByMARK LONG AP pro football writer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Panthers owner David Tepper threw the contents of a drink into the visiting crowd near the end of Carolina’s 26-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday.
Tepper’s reaction came after rookie Bryce Young was intercepted with less than 3 minutes to play. It was unclear whether Tepper was reacting to something said to him or the latest miscue for the team with the NFL’s worst record.
General manager Scott Fitterer was standing near Tepper when he tossed the remnants of his drink while watching the game from a club suite.
The Panthers (2-14) dropped to 0-9 on the road and were shut out for the first time since losing to Atlanta in Week 12 in 2002. They also clinched the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft in April — a selection that will go to Chicago.
Nothing went right in this one for Carolina, and had Jacksonville not gone 1 for 5 scoring in the red zone, the outcome likely would have been way more lopsided.
Bryce Young completed 19 of 32 passes for 112 yards, with an interception, and was sacked six times. He now has been sacked a whopping 59 times.
“Yeah, not fun. Not fun at all,” Young said. “It’s on us. It’s what we put out. It’s our tape. It’s what we did. We own it, accept it. It is what it is, but it’s not fun.”
Carolina had issues before the coin flip.
Kicker Eddy Pineiro injured his right hamstring in pregame warmups and was unable to go. Starting linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill handled the opening kickoff, and interim coach Chris Tabor kept his offense on the field for a fourth-and-7 play in normal field-goal range on the team’s opening drive.
Young was sacked and took a shot to his back. He spent several minutes getting checked on the sideline and returned in time for the next series.
“Obviously when there’s only one kicker on your 48, that’s a tough deal,” Tabor said.
Cornerback Jaycee Horn (toe) also was a late scratch after going through warmups. Horn had been scheduled to play, and Tabor even made CJ Henderson inactive. But Horn couldn’t go, so Shaquill Griffin was thrust into the starting lineup.
Griffin was burned for a 48-yard gain, part of a lackluster performance all around for the visitors.
“I’m disappointed, obviously, and that’s a pretty generic answer,” Tabor said. “Did not see it coming. I will tip my hat to the Jaguars. The way we were trending, I did not see this performance coming down.
“We never got on track. We talked a lot about starting fast this week, and we did not do that. … How are you going to deal with it? There’s only two choices: It’s either character or compromise. Those are questions for everybody.”
The Panthers had more injury issues during the game. Guard Cade Mays left with a finger injury and then linebacker Marquis Haynes, a sixth-year pro who grew up in Jacksonville, was carted off the field in the third quarter with a concussion. He was taken to a hospital for further testing and did not fly home with the team.
Haynes flashed a thumbs-up sign to the crowd as he left the stadium. It was one of the few occasions Carolina fans had to cheer.
The Panthers finished with 124 yards, were 1 of 13 on third down and had defensive lineman Derrick Brown ejected along with Jacksonville left tackle Cam Robinson late in the fourth. They ripped off each other’s helmets after a play.
“Missed opportunities. Just execution top to bottom,” Young said. “There’s a long list of stuff I’ve got to do better, and then offensively we all take responsibility. We all look in the mirror, and I think ‘disconnected’ is a good word.
“Just wasn’t executing, wasn’t translating, and as far as the offense, that’s on me.”

Naomi Osaka wins her opening match on return to elite tennis at the Brisbane International
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Naomi Osaka’s first win at the elite level since becoming a mother didn’t come easily. It did come on Day 1 of the year, though. So that was two items Osaka checked off the list Monday for her comeback to professional tennis.
The former No. 1-ranked Osaka was broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set and needed three match points before converting in the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the first round of the Brisbane International.
“I was super nervous the whole time,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player.
A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year’s Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her partner, rapper Cordae, became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July.
Osaka had only played one game since her first-round exit at the 2022 U.S. Open. She was leading Daria Gavrilova 1-0 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September of that year before the Australian retired from the match with injury.
Osaka said she has a renewed focus on living in the moment when it comes to her tennis.
“The last couple years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” she told the crowd at Pat Rafter Arena. “So I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter.
“I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me.
Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Victoria Azarenka, Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens are also in the 64-player women’s draw at the Brisbane International, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Harrison Butker lifts Chiefs past Bengals for another AFC West title
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:37 pmIt wasn’t easy, but Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs clinched the AFC West on Sunday afternoon.
The Chiefs, despite trailing 17-7 early at Arrowhead Stadium, rallied to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 25-17 on New Year’s Eve. The win officially gave the Chiefs the divisional title for an eighth straight season and clinched a playoff berth.
Outside of a touchdown late in the first quarter — when Mahomes hit Isiah Pacheco for an 8-yard score — the Chiefs offense largely struggled. Harrison Butker hit six straight field goals to slowly pull the Chiefs out of a 10-point hole after Jake Browning hit Joe Mixon and then ran in another score himself. Butker’s fifth field goal, a 48-yarder, pushed the Chiefs to a five-point lead with just more than six minutes left in the game. He then hit a final field goal with just three minutes left to seal the seven-point win.
Elsewhere, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 at Lumen Field. The win actually sent the Los Angeles Rams into the playoffs. In the third late game, the Denver Broncos — led by Jarrett Stidham after Russell Wilson’s benching — beat the Los Angeles Chargers 16-9. | https://ktbb.com/post/?p=1285782 | 2024-01-01T04:41:31Z |

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

Titans QB Will Levis leaves Sunday’s game against Texans with foot injury
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 6:38 pmHOUSTON (AP) — Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis left Sunday’s 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans with a foot injury and it’s unclear if he’ll be back for the team’s season finale next week against Jacksonville.
“We will see how it is,” coach Mike Vrabel said. “I don’t think it’s anything that’s going to be too, too serious. He couldn’t finish the game. We will see where things are tomorrow.”
Levis was injured on a strip-sack by Jerry Hughes early in the second quarter. Sheldon Rankins scooped the ball up and returned it for a touchdown to make it 17-0.
Levis got on a cart and was taken to the locker room and Ryan Tannehill took over. He threw for 168 yards but couldn’t get the Titans (5-11) in the end zone as they lost to the Texans (9-7) for the second time this month after falling in OT in Week 15.
Tannehill said it’s difficult when the starting quarterback goes down, but that everyone has to pitch in to make things easier.
“We’ve just got to do better of doing our job all around,” he said. “If it’s blocking, then blocking. If it’s catching, catching. If it’s throwing, throwing. Whatever the case may be, we just got to do a better job of doing our job.”
The Texans had six sacks Sunday after finishing with seven in the 19-16 overtime victory on Dec. 17.
“We have to be able to protect the quarterback,” Vrabel said. “The numbers are the numbers. You’ve got to be able to protect the quarterback if you want to be able to throw a pass in this league.”
Former Texans star DeAndre Hopkins had seven receptions for 72 yards for the Titans. Derrick Henry had 12 carries for 42 yards after being limited to 9 yards on 16 carries by the Texans in the first meeting.
Hopkins has 1,011 yards receiving this season for his seventh career 1,000-yard season and first since he had 1,407 in 2020.
“Going over 1,000 means a lot to me,” Hopkins said. “No matter what the record says, you have to have a little pride and take accountability of what you can do and what you can control. That’s my mindset.”
Henry’s performance gives him 1,014 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns this season to become the 10th player in NFL history with five or more seasons with at least 1,000 yards rushing and 10 rushing scores.
Levis returned this week after sitting out last week with the sprained left ankle he aggravated on the seventh sack in the first meeting with Houston.
Vrabel said Sunday’s injury was different than the one that kept him out last week.
Tennessee right tackle Dillon Radunz was upset that the Titans let Houston knock Levis out of the game again Sunday.
“It’s very exhausting, especially for it to be a sack, fumble, touchdown,” he said. “We’ve got to be way better than that. It’s the same opponent that hurt him last time. Then it happens again. We’ve got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot like that.”

Struggling Caracas restaurants, bars offer tour to boost sales
"It's about rescuing the bars (...) giving these spaces a showcase so that they can survive," said Freddy de Freitas, owner of a Spanish food restaurant in Caracas' center which is more than 40 years old. "The business activity of bars in this part of the city isn't what it was due to the situation of the economy," he added.
Several bars and restaurants in Venezuela's capital Caracas are offering an eight-hour tour where customers visit each establishment in a bid to boost low sales at a time of persistent inflation.
The so-called "Route of Pagan Temples" takes diners through two restaurants and seven bars in the city in a tour which has been organized by the businesses involved. "It's about rescuing the bars (...) giving these spaces a showcase so that they can survive," said Freddy de Freitas, owner of a Spanish food restaurant in Caracas' center which is more than 40 years old.
"The business activity of bars in this part of the city isn't what it was due to the situation of the economy," he added. The government of President Nicolas Maduro relaxed control of the economy in 2019, allowing de facto dollarization which provided breathing space for businesses, though not a complete recovery.
This year, businesses have seen lower sales due to delays in wage payments and year-on-year inflation of 282%. The nine-venue tour starts in de Freitas' Spanish restaurant, where visitors can chow down on tapas including croquettes and potato tortilla among others, before continuing on to the other establishments in private transport.
The tour - which costs $80 per person - winds up in a bustling part of Caracas filled with street musicians. "The route seeks to reconnect people with these places, to know their history, so that there's no gap between the east and west of the city, that there is only one Caracas," said Maxwell Briceno, a photographer and tour organizer.
One recent tour saw a number of foreign visitors join in the fun, according to Reuters witnesses. "I have the opportunity to see this spectacle. It's wild," said German tourist Rafael Braumann. "The beer tastes good and there's music," he added.

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

Islanders lose again to Penguins but keep it close this time
PITTSBURGH – This one was competitive and suspenseful until the empty-net clincher. But it was still a loss to the Penguins, a team the Islanders very much wanted to beat.
“We liked our chances to win, even down two goals,” said defenseman Samuel Bolduc, who halved the deficit in the third period. “Compared to last time that we played them, it was a lot closer game.”
Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic was the difference as the surging Penguins won, 3-1, on Sunday night at PPG Paints Arena with the Islanders opening a four-game road trip. The Penguins handed them their worst loss of the season, 7-0, at UBS Arena on Wednesday, including a humiliating six-goal second period.
“Overall, I thought we played a good game,” said Casey Cizikas, denied on three Grade-A chances, including a first-period breakaway. “It was a tight game the entire time. Their goalie made a lot of big saves.”
The Islanders (17-10-9) rebounded from Wednesday’s beatdown with an energetic, 60-minute effort in Friday’s 5-1 win over the visiting Capitals, leaving them to believe they could deliver a little payback to the Penguins. Instead, they ended their season-high stretch of five straight games against Metropolitan Division opponents with a 2-2-1 mark.
The loss spoiled the return of defenseman Scott Mayfield after an eight-game absence for an upper-body injury.
“I thought we did some good things but we just couldn’t find a way tonight,” Mayfield said. “That first power play, I think three or four of those saves we could have had.”
Ilya Sorokin, making his fourth straight start, stopped 35 shots.
Nedeljkovic made 37 saves for the Penguins (18-13-4), who are on a 5-0-1 run and were coming off a 4-2 win over the visiting Blues on Saturday night.
That included 14 saves in the first period, turning aside Cizikas’ breakaway at 1:54 and Cizikas’ one-timer from low in the left circle at 6:04.
Nedeljkovic also had a sequence on the Islanders’ lone first-period power play in which he stretched his right pad to deny Kyle Palmieri from in tight, then sprawled and reached up from his backside to deny Brock Nelson from the right circle at 12:59 before the goalie’s mask flew off.
The Islanders were 0-for-2 on the power play and have gone five games without a man-advantage goal.
“I wouldn’t use the word frustrating,” coach Lane Lambert said. “It’s disappointing. We played well enough to win the hockey game. I thought both goalies played well. We had some real good looks and didn’t get it by him, or couldn’t get it by him. That was the difference in the game. It was a game with chances both ways and we had plenty of opportunities.”
The Penguins came up ice on a two-on-one rush immediately after Nedeljkovic stopped Cizikas’ first-period breakaway and Jansen Harkins fed Lars Eller at the right post for a 1-0 lead at 2:18. Eller also clinched it with an empty-netter with 42.1 seconds remaining in regulation.
In the third period, Nedeljkovic stopped Cizikas at the crease with his left pad at 3:23 then denied Mathew Barzal’s backhander and Anders Lee’s follow at the crease at 4:11.
Bolduc’s first goal of the season, from the left circle, ended Nedeljkovic’s shutout bid and brought the Islanders within 2-1 at 13:51 of the third period.
“It always feels good to score a goal,” Bolduc said. “At the end of the day, you always want the end result to be in your favor.”
Noel Acciari, posting up Mayfield at the crease, deflected Drew O’Connor’s feed from the right through Sorokin’s pads to make it 2-0 at 2:20 of the second period. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/islanders-penguins-sorokin-lambert-v6s4oh9r | 2024-01-01T04:41:43Z |

Mason Marchment has 3 goals, Dallas routs Blackhawks 8-1
Posted/updated on: December 31, 2023 at 9:56 pmDALLAS (AP) — Mason Marchment had three goals and an assist, Scott Wedgewood made 24 saves to improve to 11-2-2 and the Dallas Stars routed the Chicago Blackhawks 8-1 on Sunday night to complete a two-game set. Tyler Seguin had a goal and two assists and Roope Hintz, Ryan Suter, Craig Smith and Sam Steel also scored. The Stars matched a season high in goals in their sixth consecutive home victory, two nights after topping the Chicago 5-4 in overtime at American Airlines Center. Wedgewood made his seventh consecutive start since Jake Oettinger went down with a lower-body injury early in Dallas’ game Dec. 15.
Philipp Kurashev scored for the Blackhawks. They have lost 11 consecutive road games (0-10-1) and have the second-fewest points in the NHL at 24. Connor Bedard, Chicago’s 18-year-old star, assisted on the power-play goal 39 seconds into the third period for his rookie-leading 33rd point. Petr Mrazek allowed six goals on 32 shots. He was replaced almost five minutes into the third period by Arvid Soderblom, who gave up two goals on 10 shots.
Hintz had a hat trick Friday and scored again 4:46 into the third period Sunday for his team-high 15th of the season. Marchment’s first hat trick of the season came with 1:02 to play on a goal that caromed off the leg of Chicago’s Jarred Tinordi. Marchment also scored 16 seconds before the end of a Chicago penalty midway through the second period for a 5-0 lead. He also connected with 5:31 left in the third. | https://ktbb.com/post/?p=1285786 | 2024-01-01T04:41:45Z |

Max Jones and Frank Vatrano had the goals for Anaheim, which has dropped four of five on its eight-game homestand. John Gibson made 32 saves.
Edmonton had a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes before it broke open the game with three goals during the first 12 minutes of the second period. Draisaitl made it 3-1 at 1:48 when he hammered in a one-timer from Nurse at a nearly 90-degree angle. Draisaitl put the puck inside the near post and just beyond Gibson's glove for his 17th goal of the season.
Foegele then scored the next two in the period for his second multi-goal game of the season. Foegele also helped open the scoring 4:15 into the game when he passed from behind the net to McLeod, who put the puck past Gibson. It was McLeod's seventh of the season and fifth in five games.
Jones tied it 1-all five minutes later on a rebound in front after Pickard made a pad save on Ryan Strome’s shot. It was his first goal in 14 games and fourth of the season.
Kane produced the go-ahead goal at 17:22 on a wraparound, his 14th of the season.

Struggling Caracas restaurants, bars offer tour to boost sales
The so-called "Route of Pagan Temples" takes diners through two restaurants and seven bars in the city in a tour which has been organized by the businesses involved. "It's about rescuing the bars (...) giving these spaces a showcase so that they can survive," said Freddy de Freitas, owner of a Spanish food restaurant in Caracas' center which is more than 40 years old.
Several bars and restaurants in Venezuela's capital Caracas are offering an eight-hour tour where customers visit each establishment in a bid to boost low sales at a time of persistent inflation. The so-called "Route of Pagan Temples" takes diners through two restaurants and seven bars in the city in a tour which has been organized by the businesses involved.
"It's about rescuing the bars (...) giving these spaces a showcase so that they can survive," said Freddy de Freitas, owner of a Spanish food restaurant in Caracas' center which is more than 40 years old. "The business activity of bars in this part of the city isn't what it was due to the situation of the economy," he added.
The government of President Nicolas Maduro relaxed control of the economy in 2019, allowing de facto dollarization which provided breathing space for businesses, though not a complete recovery. This year, businesses have seen lower sales due to delays in wage payments and year-on-year inflation of 282%.
The nine-venue tour starts in de Freitas' Spanish restaurant, where visitors can chow down on tapas including croquettes and potato tortilla among others, before continuing on to the other establishments in private transport. The tour - which costs $80 per person - winds up in a bustling part of Caracas filled with street musicians.
"The route seeks to reconnect people with these places, to know their history, so that there's no gap between the east and west of the city, that there is only one Caracas," said Maxwell Briceno, a photographer and tour organizer. One recent tour saw a number of foreign visitors join in the fun, according to Reuters witnesses.
"I have the opportunity to see this spectacle. It's wild," said German tourist Rafael Braumann. "The beer tastes good and there's music," he added.

Coinbase's top lawyer, RFK jr., and more slam decision to drop second SBF trial
Quick Take
- Sam Bankman-Fried will not see a second trial in March, as his remaining charges related to his time at FTX’s helm — including foreign bribery and bank fraud charges — have been dropped.
- Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., along with Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer and much of the crypto community, have condemned the decision by prosecutors not to try Bankman-Fried on a charge of unlawful political donations.
United States prosecutors have decided not to try Sam Bankman-Fried on the remaining charges he faces, including charges of foreign bribery, bank fraud, and more. Prosecutors, led by U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams, have also decided not to pursue a charge of unlawful political donations that was severed from the original indictment due to a dispute with the Bahamas over Bankman-Fried's extradition.
In a letter explaining the decision, prosecutors noted that evidence concerning several of the charges was already presented during Bankman-Fried's original trial, in which he was found guilty on all seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to his leadership of FTX and its sister trading firm, Alameda Research. That evidence may be considered at sentencing, even though a jury was never given a chance to weigt in, the prosecutors explain.
"Proceeding with sentencing in March 2024 without the delay that would be caused by a second trial would advance the public’s interest in a timely and just resolution of the case," the prosecutors wrote.
As such, certain information may never come to light, like exactly how Thai sex workers figured in to Alameda's plan to unfreeze its Chinese accounts, a situation that ultimately resulted in Alameda paying a bribe to Chinese government officials, according to the testimony of star witness and former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison.
However, the crypto community seems largely concerned with one dropped charge in particular: the charge of unlawful political donations, given Bankman-Fried's well-publicized donations to large numbers of both Democratic and Republican politicians. Prosecutors alleged that Bankman-Fried used customer funds for $100 million in political donations.
"No one is even surprised. THAT is a bigger problem than the fraud itself. It shows how normalized corruption has become," declared Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is running as an Independent in the 2024 race, in a quote-post on X referencing the decision.
Elon Musk, in a reply to that same quoted post, said simply "!!".
Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, called the decision to drop the charge a "miscarriage of justice" in a thread on X. "The public interest in a public airing of charges almost always matters. Campaign finance charges are at the very top of this list," wrote Grewal. "What politicians and others knew what and when are critical questions that deserve answers."
Bankman-Fried's sentencing is currently scheduled for March 28, 2024.

Anton Forsberg makes 45 saves in Senators' 5-1 victory over Sabres
OTTAWA, Ontario — Anton Forsberg made 45 saves and Ottawa beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-1 on Sunday night in Senators interim coach Jacques Martin's 1,300th NHL game.
Ottawa rebounded from a 6-2 home loss to New Jersey on Friday night.
“If we play the right way we shouldn’t have to bounce back as often as we do,” Forsberg said. “We’ve got to bring it every night and that’s something we’ve got to find as a group. Otherwise, it’s hard to be successful.”
Ottawa won after removing the interim tag and appointing Steve Staios as general manager Sunday. Martin took over as interim coach about two weeks ago after D.J. Smith was fired.
Zack MacEwen and Mark Kastelic each had their first goal of the season and Dominik Kubalik, Jakob Chychrun and Artem Zub also scored to help Ottawa improve to 15-18-0. Thomas Chabot had two assists in his return after missing 12 games because of a leg injury.
“I think our mindset was the right one tonight,” Martin said. “I thought that we competed much harder right from the start and I thought we had good puck control. We had some giveaways, but I think, you know, we addressed it in between periods.”
Tage Thompson scored for Buffalo, and Devon Levi made 26 saves. The Sabres are 15-19-4.
“I felt like I shot 50 shots today and nothing really happened,” Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin said. “That’s how hockey is. You’ve just got to work. You can’t do anything about it. You have to get back to work and you have to get better.:
Ottawa opened the scoring with Chychrun’s power-play goal at 6:51 of the first period. Chychrun one-timed it past Levi for his 200th career point. McEwen made it 2-0, and Thompson countered for Buffalo with 13 seconds remaining in the period.
Ottawa took a 3-1 lead seven minutes into the second when Ridly Greig deked past Rasmus Dahlin and dished a pass over to Kubalik, who got a piece of the bouncing puck. Kastelic scored with 15 seconds remaining in the period.
Zub had an empty-net goal in the third.
Ottawa also made Dave Poulin the senior vice-president of hockey operations and Ryan Bowness associate general manager. Bowness had been the general manager of the Senators’ AHL farm team, the Belleville Senators.

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

Foreign workers in Japan at record high of 1.46 million
As of Oct. 31, there were 1,460,463 foreign workers in Japan, up 14.2 percent from a year earlier, marking the 11th straight year of increase, according to the data released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, KYODO reports.
The figure, the highest since comparable data became available in 2008 when it stood around 486,000, is almost certain to rise in the years ahead as Japan has decided to ease visa restrictions and accept more foreign workers starting from April.
The labor ministry attributed the increase to the government's policy of promoting the hiring of highly skilled workers, students as part-timers, and trainees from developing countries under its technical intern program.
Many foreign technical interns and students are engaged in unskilled labor with low wages to fill the manpower shortages.
By nationality, Chinese accounted for more than a quarter of the total foreign workforce at 389,117, up 4.5 percent from the previous year, followed by Vietnamese at 316,840, up 31.9 percent, and Filipinos at 164,006, up 11.7 percent.
By sector, manufacturing hired the largest number of foreign workers at 434,342, followed by retailing at 186,061, and hotels and catering at 185,050, with 230,510 workers categorized under "other services".
Japan's parliament passed new legislation in December paving the way for the country to formally open its doors to blue-collar workers.
Under the new visa system starting in April, Japan will accept up to 345,150 foreign workers over five years in 14 sectors including construction, farming and nursing care.
It represents a major policy shift for a country that has basically granted working visas only to highly skilled people with professional knowledge such as doctors, lawyers and teachers.
A labor ministry panel projected earlier this month Japan's workforce will drop 20 percent by 2040 from 2017 due to an aging population and falling birthrate if the economy sees no growth and appropriate measures are not taken to sustain productivity. The forecast did not take into consideration the expansion of foreign workers under the new scheme. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/foreign-workers-in-japan-at-record-high-of-1-46-million_a3491980/ | 2024-01-01T04:41:58Z |

FACTBOX-Shipping firms react to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea
It also temporarily stopped accepting Israeli cargo. FRONTLINE The Norway-based oil tanker group said on Dec. 18 that its vessels would avoid passages through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. GRAM CAR CARRIERS The Norwegian shipping company, which specialises in pure car truck carriers, said on Dec. 21 its vessels were restricted from passing through the Red Sea. HAPAG-LLOYD The German container shipping line told Reuters on Dec. 29 it has decided to continue to divert its vessels around the Suez Canal for security reasons.
Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen have stepped up attacks on vessels in the Red Sea to show their support for Palestinian Islamist group Hamas fighting Israel in Gaza.
The attacks, aimed at a route that allows East-West trade, especially of oil, to use the Suez Canal to save the time and expense of circumnavigating Africa, prompted some shipping companies to reroute vessels earlier in December. Below are companies' reactions (in alphabetical order) to the situation in the Red Sea:
C.H. ROBINSON The global logistics group said on Dec. 22 it had rerouted more than 25 vessels around the Cape of Good Hope over the past week, and that number would likely continue to grow.
"Blank sailings and rate increases are expected to continue across many trades into Q1 of 2024," it added. CMA CGM
The French shipping group is planning a gradual increase in the number of vessels transiting the Suez Canal, it said on Dec. 26. "This decision is based on an in-depth evaluation of the security landscape and our commitment to the security and safety of our seafarers," CMA CGM said in a statement. The company had previously rerouted several vessels via the Cape of Good Hope.
EURONAV The Belgian oil tanker firm said on Dec. 18 it would avoid the Red Sea area until further notice.
EVERGREEN The Taiwanese container shipping line said on Dec. 18 its vessels on regional services to Red Sea ports would sail to safe waters nearby and wait for further notification, while ships scheduled to pass through the Red Sea would be rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope. It also temporarily stopped accepting Israeli cargo.
FRONTLINE The Norway-based oil tanker group said on Dec. 18 that its vessels would avoid passages through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
GRAM CAR CARRIERS The Norwegian shipping company, which specialises in pure car truck carriers, said on Dec. 21 its vessels were restricted from passing through the Red Sea.
HAPAG-LLOYD The German container shipping line told Reuters on Dec. 29 it has decided to continue to divert its vessels around the Suez Canal for security reasons. It added that a next assessment would be made on Jan. 2.
A projectile believed to be a drone struck one of its vessels sailing close to the coast of Yemen on Dec. 15. No crew were injured. HMM
The South Korean container shipper said on Dec. 19 it had ordered its ships from Europe that would normally use the Suez Canal to reroute via the Cape of Good Hope for an indefinite period of time from Dec. 15. HOEGH AUTOLINERS
The Norwegian shipping company said on Dec. 20 it would stop Red Sea transit after the Norwegian Maritime Authority raised its alert for the southern part of the sea to the highest level. KLAVENESS COMBINATION CARRIERS
The Norway-based fleet operator said on Dec. 28 it was unlikely to sail any of its vessels in the Red Sea, unless the situation improves. MAERSK
The Danish shipping group said on Dec. 31 it was pausing se all sailing through the Red Sea for 48 hours, after Houthi militants attacked the container vessel Maersk Hangzhou with missiles and small boats. On Dec. 27 it had scheduled several dozen container vessels to travel via the Suez Canal and the Red Sea in the coming days and weeks.
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) said on Dec. 16 its ships would not transit through the Suez Canal, with some already rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope, a day after two ballistic missiles were fired at its vessel.
OCEAN NETWORK EXPRESS Ocean Network Express (ONE), a joint venture of Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Nippon Yusen and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, said on Dec. 19 it would reroute vessels away from the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Instead, its ships will navigate around the Cape of Good Hope or temporarily pause their journey and move to safe areas.
OOCL The Hong Kong-headquartered container group said on Dec. 21 it had guided its vessels to either divert route or suspend sailing to the Red Sea. The company, owned by Orient Overseas (International) Ltd, has also stopped cargo acceptance to and from Israel until further notice.
O.S.K. Lines, Nippon Yusen Japan's largest shipping companies said their vessels with links to Israel were avoiding the Red Sea area. Both companies also said they were monitoring the situation.
WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN The Norwegian shipping group said on Dec. 19 it would halt Red Sea transits until further notice. Rerouting vessels via the Cape of Good Hope will add 1-2 weeks to voyage durations, it said.
YANG MING MARINE TRANSPORT The Taiwanese container shipping company said on Dec. 18 it would divert ships sailing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden via the Cape of Good Hope for the next two weeks.

Orbit Chain's bridge reportedly hacked for $81.5 million
Quick Take
- Orbit Chain’s cross-chain bridge has reportedly been hacked for $81.5 million in cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.
- The exact nature of the hack is unknown.
Orbit Bridge, a cross-chain bridge protocol, has seen unusual outflows of $81.5 million in several cryptocurrencies in what appears to be a major hack.
In five separate transactions, each to a fresh wallet, the Orbit Bridge sent $50 million in stablecoins (30 million Tether, 10 million DAI, and 10 million USDC), 231 wBTC (about $10 million), and 9,500 eth (about $21.5 million). The hack was first noticed by X user Kgjr.
The bridge appears to have close ties to the Klaytn KLAY -2.62% ecosystem; Klaytn's explorer shows that 9 of the top 10 tokens on the network by circulating market cap are Orbit Bridge wrapped assets.
The exact nature of the hack remains unknown, and Orbit Chain was unable to be immediately reached for comment by The Block.
This is a developing story.

Mason Marchment has 3 goals and an assist in Stars' 8-1 rout of Blackhawks
DALLAS — Mason Marchment had three goals and an assist, Scott Wedgewood made 24 saves to improve to 11-2-2 and the Dallas Stars routed the Chicago Blackhawks 8-1 on Sunday night to complete a two-game set.
Tyler Seguin had a goal and two assists and Roope Hintz, Ryan Suter, Craig Smith and Sam Steel also scored. The Stars matched a season high in goals in their sixth consecutive home victory, two nights after topping the Chicago 5-4 in overtime at American Airlines Center.
Wedgewood made his seventh consecutive start since Jake Oettinger went down with a lower-body injury early in Dallas’ game Dec. 15.
Philipp Kurashev scored for the Blackhawks. They have lost 11 consecutive road games (0-10-1) and have the second-fewest points in the NHL at 24.
Connor Bedard, Chicago’s 18-year-old star, assisted on the power-play goal 39 seconds into the third period for his rookie-leading 33rd point.
Petr Mrazek allowed six goals on 32 shots. He was replaced almost five minutes into the third period by Arvid Soderblom, who gave up two goals on 10 shots.
Hintz had a hat trick Friday and scored again 4:46 into the third period Sunday for his team-high 15th of the season.
Marchment's first hat trick of the season came with 1:02 to play on a goal that caromed off the leg of Chicago's Jarred Tinordi. Marchment also scored 16 seconds before the end of a Chicago penalty midway through the second period for a 5-0 lead. He also connected with 5:31 left in the third.

Crowds gather at Penn's Landing fireworks in Philadelphia to ring in 2024
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia rang in the new year on Sunday with an annual fireworks spectacular.
Well before the clock struck midnight, crowds gathered along Penn's Landing to send off 2023 with a dazzling fireworks display over the Delaware River.
"It's really nice to have something to do as a tradition and we're relatively new to the Philadelphia area, so it's nice to have a new tradition," Sharon Gilbert, of Media, said.
Now in its 30th year, the annual Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest gave many the chance to soak up the season with skating, snacks and snuggling up by the fire.
"You can come down, enjoy cozy cabins, fire pits, our ringside lounge and enjoy all the winter vibes it's like our little chalet," Jarreau Freeman, of IBC Winterfest, said.
On the eve of the New Year, some were already thinking about their wishes for 2024.
"Make the world a better place," a young girl said.
While others needed a bit more time to shake off a tough loss at the Linc for the Eagles, some remained hopeful that next year will be a good one.
"Be happy," a man said. "It's good. How many cities can say that they're in a situation where every team is winning and we're all potentially in the playoffs? Even the Flyers, it's great."
Winterfest will be open on New Year's Day and through February.

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.

Four in serious condition after explosion at cafe near Russia’s Saratov
16:22, 27 January 2019
SARATOV. KAZINFORM Four people who were injured in a blast at a cafe near Saratov, to the southeast of Moscow, on Saturday are in intensive care and doctors say they are in serious condition, a spokesman for the regional health ministry told TASS.
The blast hit a cafe on Saturday evening when 40 people were there. Twenty-two people were injured, and 14 of them were hospitalized, and later one man died in a hospital, TASS reported.
"At night eleven patients were sent to a regional burn care facility in Saratov, and four of them are in serious condition, they are in intensive care and are receiving assistance, and others will be discharged soon," Alexander Kolokolov said.
Two children, who were sent to a Lysogorsk district hospital, are in satisfactory condition.
According to investigators, the blast was caused by a gas leak. The person, who died, had been celebrating his 60th birthday. A criminal investigation was launched into providing services, which do not meet safety requirements. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/four-in-serious-condition-after-explosion-at-cafe-near-russia-s-saratov_a3492154/ | 2024-01-01T04:42:05Z |

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has successfully launched the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite on the very first day of the New Year, in continuation of its stellar space odyssey from the previous year.
The satellite that was launched from Sriharikota spaceport on Monday at 9.10 am, as scheduled, among others, would offer insights into space-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emission from various celestial sources.
Isro's PSLV-C58 Mission is to launch XPOSAT Satellite into an Eastward low inclination orbit. After injection of XPOSAT, the PS4 stage will be re-started twice to reduce the orbit into 350 km circular orbit to maintain in 3-axis stabilized mode for Orbital Platform (OP) experiments. The PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-3 (POEM-3) experiment will be executed meeting the objective of 10 identified payloads, supplied by Isro and IN-SPACe.
The XPOSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) is India's first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions.
According to Isro The XPOSAT satellite has two payloads:
POLIX: This will measure the polarimetry parameters (degree and angle of polarization) in medium X-ray energy range of 8-30 keV photons of astronomical origin. The payload is being developed by Ramam Research Institute (RRI), Bangalore in collaboration with U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC). The instrument is made of a collimator, a scatterer and four X-ray proportional counter detectors that surrounds the scatterer. The scatterer is made of low atomic mass material which causes anisotropic Thomson scattering of incoming polarised X-rays. The collimator restricts the field of view to 3 degree x 3 degree so as to have only one bright source in the field of view for most observations. POLIX is expected to observer about 40 bright astronomical sources of different categories during the planned lifetime of XPoSat mission of about 5 years. This is the first payload in the medium X-ray energy band dedicated for polarimetry measurements.
XSPECT: Will give spectroscopic information in the energy range of 0.8-15 keV. An X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing payload onboard XPoSat, which can provide fast timing and good spectroscopic resolution in soft X-rays. Taking advantage of the long duration observations required by POLIX to measure X-ray polarization, XSPECT can provide long-term monitoring of spectral state changes in continuum emission, changes in their line flux and profile, simultaneous long term temporal monitoring of soft X-ray emission in the X-ray energy range 0.8-15 keV. An array of Swept Charge Devices (SCDs) provide an effective area >30 cm2 at 6 keV with energy resolution better than 200 eV at 6 keV. Passive collimators are used to reduce the background by narrowing the field of view of XSPECT. XSPECT would observe several types of sources viz X-ray pulsars, blackhole binaries, low-magnetic field neutron star (NS) in LMXBs, AGNs and Magnetars.

The objective of the mission is to measure polarisation of X-rays in the energy band 8-30keV emanating from about 50 potential cosmic sources through Thomson Scattering by POLIX payload. To carry out long term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources in the energy band 0.8-15keV by XSPECT payload. To carry out polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emissions from cosmic sources by POLIX and XSPECT payloads respectively in the common energy band.
The emission mechanism from various astronomical sources such as blackhole, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, pulsar wind nebulae etc. originates from complex physical processes and are challenging to understand. The exact nature of the emission from such sources still poses deeper challenges to astronomers. The polarimetry measurements add two more dimension to understanding, the degree of polarization and the angle of polarization and thus is a diagnostic tool to understand the emission processes from astronomical sources.
In a stellar display of prowess, India soared to new heights in 2023 with the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the south pole of moon and the launch of Aditya-L1, India's first solar mission.
The primary objective of the Chandrayaan-3, the country's first successful lunar landing mission, was to demonstrate a soft landing near the lunar south polar region and perform experiments using the instruments onboard the lander 'Vikram' and rover 'Pragyaan'.
On August 23, Vikram Lander made its historic touchdown on the Moon and subsequently, the Pragyan rover was deployed to survey the uncharted lunar south pole.
These milestones not only secured India's standing in the global space economy but also fueled the engines for the private space sector in India.
Among other feats India now aims for are the Gaganyaan Mission, setting up 'Bharatiya Antariksha Station' by 2035, and sending the first Indian to the Moon by 2040.

Luke Littler feels he can ‘beat even more records’ ahead of world quarter-final
The 16-year-old has burst onto the scene at Alexandra Palace.
Teenager Luke Littler wants to “beat even more records” as he continues his dream World Darts Championship campaign with a quarter-final against Brendan Dolan on Monday.
The 16-year-old has burst onto the scene at Alexandra Palace and became the youngest player to reach the last eight when he hammered five-time world champion and his hero Raymond van Barneveld in the last 16 on Saturday.
That set up a winnable tie with Northern Irishman Dolan, who has seen off former world champions Gerwyn Price and Gary Anderson in the last two rounds, on New Year’s Day and he is now dreaming of lifting the Sid Waddell Trophy on Wednesday.
If Littler was to win the title it would be one of the greatest sporting stories and he would out-do several famous young achievers.
Pele was 17 when he won the World Cup with Brazil, Boris Becker claimed his first Wimbledon title at 18 while Mike Tyson was 20 when he became heavyweight world champion.
Littler, nicknamed ‘The Nuke’, has not heard of all of those names, including that of 2021 US Open singles champion Emma Raducanu, who his story shares many parallels with, but he believes there is more to come.
“Unbelievable, the names you have just said,” he said. “I know Mike, I only know Pele off FIFA and I don’t know the other ones.
“I have certainly broken the rules and records already but I know if my game is there I can beat even more records.
“My game is there, it is every darting kid’s, man’s, whoever’s dream to win it. I have certainly got the game, it is whatever happens on the day, whatever Luke Littler turns up.”
Littler’s impressive run has seen him hit the headlines around the world and enjoy celebrity status.
Littler and his family received complimentary tickets to watch Arsenal in the Premier League on Thursday night, with Gunners pair Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale asking him for a photo, while players from his beloved Manchester United sent him good luck messages before the match with Van Barneveld.
“It was unbelievable,” he added. “I was walking to my room and one of the security guards from Arsenal said to me Declan and Aaron wanted a picture with me and I just went ‘a picture with me’, and they came out for one.
“They said they have a dartboard up in the changing room. It is crazy for them to want a picture with me, it should be the other way around.
“It was incredible to get the messages, obviously United didn’t get the win (at Forest), but Jonny (Evans) and Gary (Neville) are United legends and Jonny is still playing for us, it was just incredible.”
Rob Cross plays Chris Dobey in the opening match of 2024 while Michael van Gerwen should have too much for controversial Scott Williams and Luke Humphries takes on Dave Chisnall in the other quarter-final. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2024/01/01/luke-littler-feels-he-can-beat-even-more-records-ahead-of-world-quarter-final/ | 2024-01-01T04:42:06Z |
Boston Bruins
Bruins Postgame: Bruins Dig Deep, Beat Red Wings 5-3
The Boston Bruins finished the 2023 slate of their season on a four-game winning streak with a 5-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
Trent Frederic had two goals and an assist; and Charlie Coyle, Jake DeBrusk and Pavel Zacha each lit the lamp in the win, with DeBrusk getting the game-winner on an empty-netter with 2:01 left in regulation. Jeremy Swayman made 25 saves in the win to improve to 11-2-4.
Here’s your Boston Hockey Now Bruins Postgame:
CLUTCH: One of the most underrated stories for the Boston Bruins this season is the power forward that Bruins forward Trent Frederic is emerging as. Whether head coach Jim Montgomery has him playing on the wing or at center, Frederic has delivered using his brute physical presence and skating. In the final Bruins’ game of 2023 Frederic may have given a glimpse into a future that has him as a top 6 forward soon. The 25-year-old, 6-foot-3, 220-pound Frederic finished the game with two goals, an assist and three shots in 15:27.
Frederic put the Bruins up 1-0 with 52 seconds left in the first period (below in Unsung Hero) and then 2-0 4:25 into the second period.

DOGHOUSE:Again, I try hard not to complain about officiating here but sometimes, and a lot more often this season, it’s hard not to at least question: What the hell is going on?
With the Bruins under siege and clinging to a 2-1 lead 16:42 in the second period, Red Wings defenseman Ben Chiarot blasted one in from the point and the puck found it’s way past Swayman. Numerous replays showed that Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen intefering with Swayman’s glove hand via his stick. Somehow though, and you be the judge, after a lengthy video review not only in house but back at the NHL offices in Toronto, it was ruled that Brandon Carlo forced Rasmussen’s stick to knock Swayman’s glove and the Red Wings tied the game at two.

BANGER: Both the Detroit Red Wings and Bruins came into their final game of 2023 with some pent-up hatred for each other after the Red Wings beat the Bruins in the first two meetings of the season in November. The two teams combined for 16 penalty minutes in the opening frame in what was an exceptionally scrappy game.

UNSUNG HERO: After leaving the Bruins 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils late in the third period on Saturday, Charlie McAvoy was back in the lineup on Sunday and was the backbone of the blue line for the Bruins. The team’s best defenseman was an absolute beast as he got the primary assists on Frederic’s second goal and then Coyle’s go-ahead goal 3:52 into the third period, as well as the secondary on DeBrusk’s game-winner.

Naomi Osaka wins her opening match on return to elite tennis at the Brisbane International
BRISBANE, Australia — Naomi Osaka’s first win at the elite level since becoming a mother didn’t come easily. It did come on Day 1 of the year, though. So that was two items Osaka checked off the list Monday for her comeback to professional tennis.
The former No. 1-ranked Osaka was broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set and needed three match points before converting in the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the first round of the Brisbane International.
“I was super nervous,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player.
A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year’s Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her rapper Cordae became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July.

Maui Fire Department officials say the incident happened about 11 a.m.
A Department of Land and Natural Resources spokesman confirmed about 5:30 p.m. that Carter had died.
Officials said water conditions at the time were “mixed” because of high surf conditions.
The County of Maui posted on its official Instagram that Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park were closed due to the shark incident.
First responders were patrolling the area on shore and on jet skis, according to Maui Fire Department. Department of Land and Natural Resources officials said shark warning signs are up one mile on either side of the incident site.

With more travellers, planes, airports, 'bullishness' greets slightly clouded-aviation skies
Air India and IndiGo placing orders for 970 planes, Go First filing for voluntary insolvency proceedings, an amended insolvency framework to address aircraft lessors concerns, and air passenger traffic touching a record high of more than 4.63 lakh in a single day in November, were among the key developments in 2023.
- Country:
- India
A ''bullishness'' greets the skies as more passengers are set to step into airports and more aircraft, including A350s, are ready to carry them in expanding routes in 2024 even as the fate of two bankrupt airlines remain uncertain. A slew of airports and terminal building inaugurations and revised norms to address pilot fatigue issue will also happen in the new year. ''As far as goals for 2024 are concerned, it is to enable many more airports to be put in place, the fleet size to grow... we are getting roughly 2-5 planes a month between Air India, IndiGo and Akasa Air. ''We are going to rapidly expand our connectivity and it is also our intent to try and establish the first international air hub in India,'' Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia told PTI in an interview. Air India and IndiGo placing orders for 970 planes, Go First filing for voluntary insolvency proceedings, an amended insolvency framework to address aircraft lessors' concerns, and air passenger traffic touching a record high of more than 4.63 lakh in a single day in November, were among the key developments in 2023. Scindia emphasised there is a ''bullishness with regard to civil aviation'' and the outlook is positive. ''As far as airlines are concerned, we need to concentrate on a great travel experience, increased OTP (On Time Performance) and make sure we have as many aircraft in the air,'' the minister said. For 2024, the country's largest airline IndiGo's CEO Pieter Elbers said the demand for air travel remains robust, and despite the global supply chain challenges, the overall operating environment remains conducive. While profitability will be uncertain, aviation consultancy CAPA Advisory said that after a long time, India has a stable airline system led by IndiGo and Air India Group. Looking back at 2023, following are among the notable developments.
Airlines Go First, long impacted by Pratt & Whitney engine problems, filed for voluntary insolvency proceedings in May. Legal battles started by Go First lessors looking to take back their planes deepened and even forced the government to amend certain norms under the insolvency law.
Prior to that, 2023 started off on a turbulent note for Tata Group-owned Air India as an incident of a drunk passenger allegedly urinating on a woman onboard an international flight that happened in 2022 flared up and aviation regulator DGCA also slapped a fine on the carrier.
Few other incidents, including non-compliance with certain safety norms involving various airlines, also saw action being taken by DGCA.
Tata Group is consolidating its airline business and the merger of AirAsia India with Air India Express is almost complete while that of Vistara with Air India is still in the works.
Crisis-hit SpiceJet managed to garner lifeline capital of more than Rs 2,250 crore. From aircraft grounding to lessors seeking repossession of planes to legal woes, the budget carrier faced it all but threw a surprise by expressing interest to buy Go First.
IndiGo carried over 100 million passengers this year and added over 80 new routes.
After taking off in August 2022, Akasa Air is now preparing to start overseas operations.
Jet Airways, which stopped operations in April 2020, remains grounded as its insolvency resolution plan is still hanging fire.
The regional air connectivity scheme UDAN, Scindia said has given birth to five regional airlines -- Star Air, IndiaOne Air, FlyBig, Fly91 and Air Taxi.
Aircraft Air India placed historic orders for 470 planes from Boeing and Airbus while IndiGo has placed the ''world's largest ever single aisle fleet order'' for 500 Airbus aircraft. Akasa Air is expected to place a three-digit order for aircraft soon.
Air India will operate the wide-body A350 in the new year.
However, grounding of aircraft remains a key concern. Among others, IndiGo is likely ground some planes next year for inspection due to certain P&W engine problems.
As Scindia said, ''it is very unfortunate and shocking that most of the AOG (Aircraft On Ground) are due to one original equipment supplier that is P&W''.
In December, the civil aviation ministry said 164 planes were lying idle at 15 airports. Airports More airports and terminal buildings are set to be operational, including the Jewar airport in Uttar Pradesh in September-October, and also Navi Mumbai airport in Maharashtra.
''In 2014, we had 74 airports and in the last nine-and-a-half years under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we have built an additional 75 airports, taking the total to 149,'' he said.
Delhi airport, the country's largest airport, is projected to see over 70 million passenger traffic this fiscal ending March 2024.
Passenger Services & Flight Crew While air traffic continued to soar, many a time passengers grappled with tough times, mainly in the form of flight delays and service quality issues. On Time Performance (OTP) of airlines took a beating in recent times. Domestic airlines carried over 13.82 crore passengers during the January-November period and the number is expected to touch around 15 crore by year-end.
On the services front, there were complaints against airlines, including Air India, Vistara, SpiceJet, IndiGo and Akasa Air.
In a rare instance, Air India group and Akasa Air locked horns over alleged poaching of pilots from Akasa Air.
DGCA is finalising revised norms, including for rest hours, as part of efforts to address the pilot fatigue issue.

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."

I was hacked into existence nearly eight decades ago, rock-shelves hewn into walls and pools.
Now I'm cracking round the edges, chips off here and there, yet oceans of sunscreen and baby oil have been splashed liberally all around to smooth my walls.
I've been pampered and rejuvenated. I've been re-designed.
I've been scraped and pumped and painted. Still, it's at the end of the working day, when the sun sets and the last swimmers leave, that I like to reminisce about some of the times I've shared with others.
The bride teetered on the edge before losing her balance and toppling into the water, her dress blooming on the surface like some bloated jellyfish.
Her newly minted husband stumbled and lurched, grabbing at thin air to stop her plunging in before he, too, overbalanced and hit the drink, cartwheeling his arms in comic book fashion.
The rest of the wedding party's shrieks of horror soon turned to delight as one, then another, bridesmaid and groomsman dived in to join the shocked couple in the water, realising that it was only the photographer who would remain dry to record the hilarity.
A wedding shoot to remember.
The swimmer pushed off with his feet, toes grabbing the craggy wall under the whitewashed block, the big number "1" looming large in a flash of vision.
He liked the southernmost lane (actually, it made his day if he scored it) butted up against the edge and with the chance of a fellow lap swimmer on just one side.
The wall guided him to the other end, gently nudging him if he swam off course.
The bride teetered on the edge before losing her balance and toppling into the water, her dress blooming on the surface like some bloated jellyfish. Her husband stumbled and lurched, grabbing at thin air to stop her plunging in before he, too, overbalanced
It was coveted by the old boy's mates as he slowly slapped his way up and back, head thrusting skyward to gasp a breath, goggles misting and shoulders beginning to throb with a dull ache.
Reluctantly, he relinquished his spot, and it was snaffled like a seagull on a hot chip by another swimmer as he left the pool ... maybe he'd grab it again tomorrow?
The kids swathed in neon rashies and slathered in sunscreen played on the little strip of sand along the shallow pool.
Yellow earth-moving trucks, graders and diggers, were pushed around under the beach umbrella, building a miniature world of mountains and valleys, golden sandy roads beside granular playgrounds and crumbling houses.
The brother and sister, engrossed in their work, called for mum and dad to look at their building project and help them build a river to meet the town.
All four of them scrambled and dug, flinging sand aside to allow the water to flow into their tiny, new world as they laughed and played.
The river flowed into the streets when the dam was breached, and the town was flooded.
That's the end of building, now time for a swim.
The surfers only ventured onto the pool deck when the seas were monstrous, giant surges of power in every swell denying them entry to the ocean from the beach or rocks.
Waves crashed into the blocks; roaring freight-trains barrelling through the pool and smashing over the promenade, turgid bulk jettisoning onto the picnic tables and benches.
The board riders, undeterred, fought their way to the blocks to await a slight lull in which to launch. Timely leaps seemed doomed, yet these nautical warriors defied physics and belied their stature by paddling furiously against this colossal surge, duck-diving powerful foam and emerging beyond each wave.
Time and again they dived and paddled till, one by one, they negotiated the treacherous route seawards and paddled north to recover before challenging the liquid skyscrapers flowing towards the beach.
The teenagers hadn't intended to end up here at the end of a hot summer's day.
A day at the beach with friends doesn't get any better than when the sun is shining, school's a memory for the year and the air is sizzling with excitement and anticipation.
They were pulsing with energy and happiness and the group of friends frolicked in the surf and baked in the sun, towels interlaced on the sand as secrets were shared and friendships confirmed.
They broke for regular drinks and snacks, and the time moved on, and the pool at the end of the promenade beckoned.
Diving in the big pool, the group slowly dwindled until just a few were left dotted in the water under a setting sun, a canvas of blush gold brushed on low clouds as the light ebbed.
The two of them kissed lightly, lips cool and hearts racing, all others forgotten as electricity danced and summer smouldered.
Crustaceans and limpets used to carve their tracks languidly over these shelves and through rockpools, as the surf fizzed across the rocks and hit the cliffs unabated and free.
The water is corralled now, and the pace of life has changed.
I've seen a lot, believe me.
The crowds keep coming day after day, ice bathers in winter dawns and families frolicking till summer's sun sets.
School carnivals and social swimmers, sporting teams and step-runners.
I've even got my own lifeguard now.
I'm old but strong, relishing the role I've played in so many people's lives.
More adventure awaits tomorrow. Won't you join me? | https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/8472207/memories-of-an-australian-icon/ | 2024-01-01T04:42:07Z |
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.
