Ohio State lands first player out of transfer portal
The transfer portal has been open for a little over a month now and while Ohio State has had its fair share of players enter the portal and find new homes, the Buckeyes haven’t been very active in gaining new prospects. That changed today when Ryan Day landed his first player from the portal in tight end Will Kacmarek.
Kacmarek hails from St. Louis, Missouri, and was a two-star recruit as a defensive end. The former Ohio Bobcat entered the portal just two days ago and made his intentions known shortly after. Kacmarek will have two years of eligibility left after redshirting his freshman year in Athens in 2021.
With Cade Stover graduating and Joe Royer entering the transfer portal, there was room to add to the tight end room. However, with his history at defensive end, don’t rule out the possibility of a switch back to the defensive side of the ball.
Kacmerek caught 42 passes for 507 yards and two touchdowns for OU this season.

It remains to be seen if other areas of need will be addressed in the transfer portal, specifically on the offensive line and possibly the quarterback position. Rumors are swirling, but nothing official yet. Until then, we keep our eyes and ears peeled and let you know as moves are made.

Erie, Pa (WJET/WFXP/YourErie.com)– The cremated remains of an Erie native and McDowell alum who passed away in 2022 will be launched into outer space in a weeks time.
After 20-year-old Andrew Coleman suddenly passed away in 2022, his family wanted to find a way to pay respects to him and the goals he hoped to achieve.
Coleman had a love for the final frontier, studying aerospace engineering at Texas A&M. His family discovered a unique funeral service that is able to send him into deep space.
“We have a saying, you’ll never see high fives and hugs at a funeral like ours, and that’s what happens. When that rocket takes off and those families not only see the rocket climb, but they feel that rocket engine inside them and they know that their loved one is on their way to space, it’s a feeling that no words can really do justice,” said Colby Youngblood, president of Celestis Memorial Space Flights.
Coleman’s remains will be one of some 200 taking flight on January 8. His family provided a statement saying in part:
“Our family could not be more proud of a child than we were regarding Andrew. He is now in god’s hands and part of heaven. Voyage to space is where he always wanted to be and now that dream will come true.” | https://www.pahomepage.com/state-news-2/erie-family-honoring-their-late-son-by-reflecting-his-goals/ | 2024-01-01T04:54:03Z |

Kazakhstan to switch over to own gasoline, diesel fuel this year, says Dossayev
Addressing the meeting, he said that the fuel and energy sector remains the main economic growth driver and that 2018 was a record year in terms of the sector's key indicators.
"Over 90 million tons of oil and over 55 billion cubic meters of gas were extracted. The modernization of all three refineries has been completed.

Packers crush Vikings, set up win-and-in season finale vs. Bears
The Green Bay Packers used four total touchdowns from Jordan Love and a dominant defensive effort to crush the Minnesota Vikings on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 17 and set up a win-and-in season finale against the Chicago Bears.
Love tossed three touchdown passes — including two in the first half to rookie Jayden Reed — and rushed for a fourth as the Packers cruised to a 33-10 victory at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Packers improved to 8-8. Getting to 9-8 with a win over the Bears next weekend would clinch a playoff spot as a wildcard team in the NFC.
Reed caught a 33-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and a 25-yard score with eight seconds left in the second quarter but left with a chest injury. The Packers led 23-3 at halftime and led 30-3 late in the third quarter.
Reed now has 10 total touchdowns, the third-most by a rookie in team history. He also set the team record for total receptions by a rookie in a single season, surpassing Sterling Sharpe’s record.
Love is up to 30 passing touchdowns and 34 total touchdowns.
Vikings rookie Jaren Hall threw an interception and lost a fumble in the first half, setting up Packers touchdowns. He was replaced by Nick Mullens to start the second half.
The Packers defense allowed only 4.1 yards per play, produced two turnovers and gave up only 3-of-12 conversions on third or fourth down. The only touchdown allowed came after Samori Toure muffed a punt. | https://sports.yahoo.com/packers-crush-vikings-set-win-042739381.html | 2024-01-01T04:54:07Z |

Rachel Leviss after 'hardest year yet' vows to be 'better friend' in New Year's Eve post following Scandoval affair
- The 29-year-old reality star posted a photo of herself on Sunday that showed her smiling with her eyes closed and included a message for her followers
- The Scandoval affair broke in March when Ariana Madix, 38, learned that her longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval, 40, had a months-long affair with Rachel
- Tom and Rachel later appeared on the Vanderpump Rules reunion episodes and were eviscerated by Ariana for their joint betrayal
Rachel Leviss vowed to be a 'better friend' in a New Year's Eve post on Instagram after engaging in the so-called 'Scandoval affair' that rocked Vanderpump Rules.
The 29-year-old reality star posted a photo of herself on Sunday that showed her smiling with her eyes closed and included a message for her roughly 621,0000 followers on Instagram.
'2023 hands down has been the hardest year yet. My life had become completely unmanageable and I was so far down the rabbit hole of making bad decisions that I NEEDED help. I'm so blessed I was able to get the help I needed. Now, I finally feel like I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,' she posted.
'As we set intentions into the new year, I vow to be a better friend to the ones close in my life. To those that have stood by me through my darkest days, I will always remember and cherish you. Eternally grateful for a second chance. Here's to an epic 2024!,' she concluded.
The Scandoval affair broke in March when Ariana Madix, 38, learned that her longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval, 40, had a months-long affair with her good friend Rachel, who previously went by the first name Raquel on the Bravo reality show.
Rachel Leviss vowed to be a 'better friend' in a New Year's Eve post on Instagram after engaging in the so-called 'Scandoval affair' that rocked Vanderpump Rules
Ariana and Tom immediately split and viewers looked for signs of the affair during season 10 of Vanderpump Rules that concluded in May with a season finale episode titled '#Scandoval'.
Tom and Raquel later appeared on the reunion episodes and were eviscerated by Ariana for their joint betrayal.
Ariana persevered and later competed on Dancing With The Stars where she finished in third place on December 5 with pro partner Pasha Pashkov.
The blonde beauty memorably channeled Britney Spears as she performed to I'm A Slave 4 U during Music Video Night in November.
Ariana announced on December 6 that she will make her Broadway debut in the role of Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago.
Ariana will take on the role for eight weeks starting on January 29 and called it her 'biggest dream' come true.
Tom in the aftermath of the Scandoval affair competed on the celebrity reality show Special Forces: World's Toughest Yet, but was disqualified before completing the training.
He admitted during the season two premiere on Fox in September that he wanted to be 'punished' and in a confessional said the past few months had been the 'darkest months' of his life.
The 29-year-old reality star, shown earlier this month in Inglewood, California, posted a photo of herself on Sunday that showed her smiling with her eyes closed and included a message for her roughly 621,0000 followers on Instagram
'2023 hands down has been the hardest year yet. My life had become completely unmanageable and I was so far down the rabbit hole of making bad decisions that I NEEDED help.

Rachel last month announced her new podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, that's set to debut in January 2024.
She made her first appearance on Vanderpump Rules as a guest during season five. She went on to get bumped up to recurring role status for the next three seasons, and then main cast for seasons nine and 10.
It was announced earlier this month that season 11 will premiere on January 30, 2024, with Ariana, Sandoval, Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, James Kennedy and Ally Lewber all returning alongside Brock Davies in a recurring capacity.
Rachel did not return for season 11 following the Scandoval affair. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12915647/Rachel-Leviss-hardest-year-vows-better-friend-New-Years-Eve-post-following-Scandoval-affair.html | 2024-01-01T04:54:07Z |

Shimla, December 31
While inaugurating Tapas Healing and Wellness Centre at Bangludhar near Kufri, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Anirudh Singh said drug use was a scar on society and the eradication of drug abuse was a collective responsibility. The Minister said the state government had sent a proposal to the Centre calling for an amendment to the Narcotic Drugs and other Psychotropic Substances Act to make it more stringent.
Rakesh Mehta, a retired state government officer, said the wellness centre was an attempt to help the youth battle addiction using psychiatric treatment and psychological counselling.
He said drug abuse, especially chemical drug addiction, was on the rise in the state, adding that Tapas would attempt to heal addicts and motivate them to help others recover.

As the anticipation builds for the upcoming Republic Day Parade, the North Eastern Region NCC cadets are gearing up for a stellar performance that promises to captivate the audience and showcase the exceptional qualities that define their cultural identity as well as Unity in Diversity.
The contingent represents the states of Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Manipur, symbolizing the unity and diversity that makes India truly unique. This year's Republic Day Camp is poised to be a spectacle of remarkable achievements and milestones for the North Eastern Region contingent. In line with the region's commitment to inclusivity, the contingent will highlight women's empowerment with the active participation of female cadets. Their presence will not only embody the strength and resilience of women in all fields but also underscore the principles of equality and empowerment.

This unique display is expected to be a visual treat, showcasing the rich tapestry of traditions that the North Eastern states bring to the national forefront. A historic moment will unfold with the debut of the combined girl's band from Assam and Nagaland. The NCC Girl Band's march is expected to leave a lasting impression, inspiring future generations and reinforcing the message that every individual, regardless of gender, has the potential to excel in the armed forces.

Packers vs. Vikings instant takeaways: Massive improvement powers victory in rematch
In a must-win game to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Green Bay Packers dominated this matchup — on both sides of the ball — with the Minnesota Vikings from start to finish.
The Packers are now one win away from making the playoffs, controlling their own fate.
Let’s dive into my instant takeaways from Green Bay’s performance in Minneapolis.
— Go back and watch the Packers play the Vikings in Week 8 and then watch tonight’s game, and you’ll see just how far Jordan Love and this offense has come. Love was excellent this time around—poised, as Matt LaFleur likes to say, and in complete control from start to finish.
— The Vikings’ defense blitzes at the highest rate in the NFL and did a good job of throwing a lot of different looks and disguising where the pressure was coming from. But as the Packers offensive line has done over the last six games, facing other blitz-heavy opponents, they held up well. And when there was pressure in Love’s face, he hung in there and knew where to go with the ball. A few weeks ago, quarterbacks coach Tom Clements said that Love’s decision-making when under pressure is where he had improved the most.
— Also, Love was again very good at making protection adjustments at the line of scrimmage pre-snap. Very much in command.
— This offense is humming right now. Effective and efficient through the air and on the ground, while scoring 30-plus points for the second game in a row. Love was again without key skill position players as well.
— The Vikings started Jaren Hall at quarterback then switched to Nick Mullens, but credit to the Packers pass defense in this one. Entering the fourth quarter, Justin Jefferson had just 46 yards with Jordan Addison and KJ Osborn combing for 20. Even with the uncertainty at quarterback for Minnesota during the second half of the season, the Vikings pass game still ranked sixth in yards per pass attempt. Credit to Corey Ballentine and Carrington Valentine, both of whom were challenging the Minnesota receivers.
— I don’t think it’s a coincidence that from an operation standpoint, things looked a bit more smooth in the secondary with Darnell Savage back in the lineup. Matt LaFleur has complemented him previously on his leadership and communication on the back end.
— Whether it was Hall or Mullens, I thought the Packers’ pass rush did a very good job of disrupting both, which helped out the passing game. Green Bay finished the game with 14 quarterback hits. Preston Smith and Kenny Clark were both very good again.
— Given how the last three games went for the Packers defense. Given how things might go for Joe Barry once the season ends. I imagine this one – against a dynamic trio of pass-catchers – felt pretty good for him and the players. “I just want to win for the Green Bay Packers,” said Barry on Thursday.
— The Vikings defense entered Sunday allowing only 3.7 yards per rush, but Aaron Jones eclipsed the 100-yard mark at over 5.0 yards per attempt. Some of the success on the ground for Green Bay was Jones being Jones, but there were also some really nice running lanes created by the offensive line. Sean Rhyan again saw ample playing time.
— I wrote beforehand that this game felt like it had big game potential for Jayden Reed and prior to leaving with an injury that was unfolding because of the team being without Christian Watson or Dontayvion Wicks, but also because of the matchup against this Minnesota secondary. Reed finished the game with six receptions for 89 yards and two touchdowns.
— We saw several examples of complementary football by Green Bay. Off of both turnovers created by the defense, the offense went down and scored a touchdown. Then on the Vikings opening drive of the second half, the defense got a fourth-down stop, which was followed by the offense putting together an 8:00 scoring drive.
— Bo Melton is out of practice squad elevations following this game but my guess is that he will be signed to the 53 man later this week. He may end up taking the roster spot of Samori Toure, who he has already passed on the game day depth chart.
— The Anders Carlson experience continued with him missing an extra point but making both field goal attempts. Against Minnesota’s return units that have given the Packers fits previously, I thought the kick and punt coverage units held up well. Unfortunately, there was another special teams blunder with Toure’s fumble.
— The Packers were 7-for-12 on third downs while Minnesota was 1-for-7 before the final five minutes of the game. They had four red zone trips – which is good! – and converted two of them into touchdowns. Minnesota was 1-for-2 inside the 20-yard line. Green Bay would dominate the time of possession holding the ball for nearly 15 more minutes than the Vikings. | https://sports.yahoo.com/packers-vs-vikings-instant-takeaways-044013398.html | 2024-01-01T04:54:13Z |

Dipender Manta
Mandi, December 31
Fire incidents reported across the state this year have caused an estimated loss of Rs 1.5 crore to forest properties. The data accessed by The Tribune from the Forest Department revealed that a total of 162 fire incidents were reported in different parts of the state this year, affecting around 1,710.97 hectares of forest area in Himachal.
Reportedly, in many cases, the fire was deliberately set by some miscreants in grasslands near the woods. As the blaze spread further and the flames engulfed the forest, vegetation in the area was destroyed.
The Chamba forest circle witnessed as many as 31 fire incidents, and the Dharamsala and Nahan circles saw 21 incidents each. A total of 17 fire incidents were reported from Mandi, while the Kullu circle logged 15 cases. In the Bilaspur circle, only two cases were reported this year, the lowest in the state.
As per the data, around 740.5 hectares of forest area were affected in the Chamba circle this year because of fire incidents, 172.1 hectares in Rampur circle, 164.15 hectares of forest land in Kullu circle and 120.82 hectares in Dharamsala. Further, 133.1 hectares of the woods in Shimla and 106.8 hectares in the Mandi circle were affected in such incidents.
This is a dip from the 843 fire incidents registered in the state last year that had resulted in a loss of Rs 1.37 crore to forest properties.
The forest authorities in the state find it difficult to prevent fire incidents during the winter season as miscreants often set grasslands ablaze, leading to damage to the nearby forest areas. The Forest Department is seeking community involvement to rein in such incidents.
The Chief Conservator of the Forest Department in Mandi, Ajit Thakur, told The Tribune that to check forest fires, the department has been enlightening residents about the issue. Besides, the department is also roping in mahila mandals and gram panchayats to keep tabs on such offenders.

Patriots clinch first last-place finish since 2000
If 2023 becomes Patriots coach Bill Belichick's final year in New England, he'll exit with a strange set of bookends.
Sunday's loss to the Bills clinched New England's first last-place finish in the AFC East since Belichick's first year on the job, in 2000.
That year, the Pats went 5-11. This year, they're 4-12 with one game left, a Week 18 visit from the 6-10 Jets. Even with a win over New York, the Patriots will still be in last place in the division, at 5-12.
In between, the Patriots went to 13 AFC Championship games and nine Super Bowls, winning six of them.
After the season ends, the question becomes whether owner Robert Kraft will move on from Belichick. It's one thing to say it. It's quite another to do it. We'll see if Kraft does in the following week or two. | https://sports.yahoo.com/patriots-clinch-first-last-place-044014668.html | 2024-01-01T04:54:20Z |

A Pension Adalat for the redressal of pension-related grievances for BSF pensioners and a Rozgar Mela were also organized at Frontier HQ Jalandhar. A significant milestone was achieved with the inauguration of the tallest flagpole (418 feet) in the Indian sub-continent at ICP Attari, by Union Minister, Nitin Gadkari.
Alongside these accomplishments, initiatives were undertaken to enhance basic infrastructure at the grassroots level, providing maximum facilities to Jawans in the Punjab Frontier. Furthermore, Family Welfare Centers, functional in each unit and HQ, cater to the welfare of Jawans and their families by offering various civil and vocational courses. (ANI)

Britney Spears shares adorable throwback snaps of sons Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17, on New Year's Eve... after she agreed to let them move to Hawaii with Kevin Federline
Britney Spears is reflecting on her family as 2023 comes to a close.
The 42-year-old global icon -- who said she doesn't want to force a reconciliation with her mom Lynne Spears -- took to her Instagram on New Year's Eve to share three adorable throwback snaps of her sons Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17.
Flashing her megawatt smile and holding her dog in one photo, Britney appears in high spirits as she is nestled between the two young boys, whom she shares with ex Kevin Federline.
In the other two snaps, the 'Break the Ice' hitmaker hugs Sean and Jayden as they make hilarious faces towards the camera.
The social media share could be a sign Britney and her sons are working on repairing their relationship, as they been entangled in a public feud for years.
Britney Spears took to her Instagram on New Year's Eve to share three adorable throwback snaps of her sons Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17
The singer didn't get a chance to say goodbye when Kevin, who has sole custody, moved the boys, and his wife Victoria Prince, to Hawaii earlier this year.
Both Sean and Jayden also skipped out on their mom's wedding to Sam Asghari in June 2022. The couple have since split.
The two teenagers said it wasn’t a 'good time to go' in an interview with documentary film maker Daphne Barak for ITV.
'At the time it just wasn’t a good time to go,' Jayden explained.
'I’m not saying that I’m not happy for her, I’m really happy for them, but she didn’t invite the whole family and then if it was just going to be me and Preston, I just don’t see how that situation would have ended on good terms.'
Britney had been publicly battling Kevin after he criticized her parenting in an interview, where he claimed Sean and Jayden decided not to see their mother at the moment.
Britney shot back on Instagram, writing, 'It saddens me to hear that my ex husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children… As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone.'
Kevin also claimed Britney’s provocative selfies on social media were a large part of the issue, calling it 'tough' for the boys, especially since they are of high school age.

Britney referenced those comments by adding, 'It concerns me the reason is based on my Instagram. It was LONG before Instagram.'

Ravinder Sood
Palampur, December 31
Manoj Mehata, head of the Anti-Drug Organisation, an NGO which has launched a massive campaign against drug trafficking in Kangra district, received a life threat from goons of drug mafia today. He was asked by the mafia to either stop the campaign against drug trafficking in Kangra district with immediate effect or face dire consequences.
While addressing a press conference here today, Mehata released an audio clip of the conversation with the goons. They openly threatened to kill Mehata if he continued his anti-drug campaign. They told him that he was already in the hit-list of drug peddlers of Punjab, who had been hit hard due to his campaign. Mehata said he had apprised Kangra Additional Superintendent of Police in this regard, who assured him full protection. Mehata stated that he would continue his campaign against the drug mafia without fear.
Mehata has received overwhelming support from the public in the past six months. Hundreds of youths and women have joined his NGO and visited the rural areas of Kangra district to create awareness against drug abuse. He had conducted a number of raids on the hideouts of drug peddlers with the help of local youths and handed over the culprits to the police.
Over 500 youths have been bailed out from drug addiction by the NGO. Mehata said over 2,500 youths were bedridden because of drug addiction in Palampur, Nagrota and Dharamsala area and his NGO was in touch with them to help them recover.
A number of arrests of drug peddlers have been made in Palampur, Baijnath, Bhawarna, Paprola, Jaisinghpur and its adjoining areas in the past one year during raids conducted by the police, but the situation has remained the same. Rather, drug peddling has flourished in the area and most of the drugs to Kangra valley are flowing in from Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.

Tom Brady shares special message to Michigan football fans ahead of the Rose Bowl
The last time that Michigan football beat Alabama in a bowl game, the GOAT was at the helm, helping the maize and blue to take down the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl.
Tom Brady appears to have a good feeling for what he’s calling a ‘special team,’ and though he won’t be in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl, he’s hoping that those attending will help make the iconic stadium feel more like The Big House than a neutral site field in Southern California.
Brady posted a special message to Michigan football fans attending the game, pleading that they be loud and help intimidate the No. 4 Crimson Tide team. You can watch his message below. | https://sports.yahoo.com/tom-brady-shares-special-message-042433007.html | 2024-01-01T04:54:32Z |
Cardi B battles severe cold as she vows not to bring 'toxic' behavior into 2024 … after blasting fans for talking about her relationship with Offset
Cardi B ended the year staving off what looked to be a severe winter cold, as she promised to not bring toxic behavior into 2024.
The Grammy-winning singer, 31, took to Twitter Friday after she said that some of her fans had not learned to 'shut the f*** up' amid speculation about her relationship with Offset, 32.
'I must be a lil toxic cuz I enjoyed cursing ya out today… but we not taking that into 2024,' said the New York City native, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar. 'Now have a good day. No make it a bad day!'
The Bongos performer later appeared in a Twitter clip Sunday in which she donned a white coat and a face mask while addressing the hostile exchange with fans.
'So I cursed out my fans really bad the other day and today they put me on a billboard on 42nd street,' the Grammy-winning artist said. 'I don't know if its Stockholm syndrome or we just have a very toxic relationship either way.'
Cardi B, 31, ended the year staving off what looked to be a severe winter cold, as she promised to not bring toxic behavior into 2024
The Grammy-winning singer took to Twitter Friday after she said that some of her fans had not learned to 'shut the f*** up' amid speculation about her relationship with Offset, 32
Cardi referenced the nickname for her fanbase, nicknamed the Bardigang, in wrapping up her statement, saying she was confident in the people who support her sticking by her through tough times.
'It just goes to show you that if you're not Bardigang, you should mind your f***ing business,' Cardi said. 'Oh, you thought they were going to leave me?
'They ain't going nowhere B****! They ain't going nowhere! And neither am I! I love you!'
Cardi, who shares two children with Offset - daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, five, and son Wave Set Cephus, two - was seen on Instagram Stories earlier Sunday detailing how she was dealing with a severe cold ahead of a slated performance at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami.
'I'm fighting for my life right now; I'm literally fighting for my life right now,' she said. 'I am so sick, and I don't understand because when I was in New York, I was going out with sweaters, toes out, everything, I was good.'
She said she believed her health downturn could be a regional matter, as she does not take well to the mercurial temperatures in Florida.
'I'm allergic to Miami, I'm allergic to Florida, I'm allergic to the state, it doesn't even make no sense,' she said. 'I've been fighting for three days and I have a huge performance later.'
The singer had complained about her fans' reaction to her split from Offset in a profanity-laden rant that was shared on her Twitter account on Friday.

Cardi hosted a chatroom event during which she blasted many of her longtime fans for sharing their opinions about her relationship. The hitmaker expressed, via TMZ, that she was exasperated that her fans had not learned to 'shut the f*** up.'
Cardi went on to state that she did not 'see no one talking s*** but my own fan base.'
The WAP rapper then threatened to 'f***ing unfollow all of y'all' because of the online reaction to the breakup.
The hitmaker then shutdown rumors about a potential reconciliation with Offset, and asked her fans if they had heard 'that I'm back with a n**** out [of] my mouth.'
She added: 'Did I confirm all this with a man? No! So why the f*** y'all keep talking?'
Cardi B told her fans to cease speaking about her relationship because 'I know my s***.'
The rapper and Offset - born Kiari Kendrell Cephus - began seeing each other in 2017 and secretly tied the knot that same year.
Cardi and Migos rapper briefly split in 2020 and the rapper filed for divorce that year, although she called it off after just a few months. The pair unfollowed each other on Instagram earlier this month, and the news about their split was subsequently revealed to the public.

She stated on Instagram Live, via Entertainment Tonight, 'He like to play games with me cause he knows I'm not an easy girl ... he knows I'm not doing the most.'
The hitmaker then expressed that Offset had not shown any gratitude for all of the assistance she provided him over the year.

Why was Johnathan Abram, not Jordan Howden, starting at safety for Saints?
Jordan Howden has been a regular face in the New Orleans Saints secondary, so it was a little jarring to see him not in the starting lineup next to Tyrann Mathieu on Sunday. But the Saints coaching staff had a good reason for making a change: Howden was sidelined in practice to start the week with an illness that was still limiting him.
That prompted them to call up Johnathan Abram, who took Howden’s place as Marcus Maye’s fill-in. And Abram certainly made the most of that opportunity. He tied with Mathieu for the second-most tackles in Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while also forcing a fumble, intercepting a pass, and breaking up another throw into his coverage.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen complimented Abram’s performance after the game, saying: “I thought he played really well, I was extremely proud of him. Happy for him, the way that he played. Great effort play on the strip to cause a fumble that Demario (Davis) recovered. There was a number of things he did well, but that stands out.”
Allen pointed to Abram as a veteran in the defensive backs room who has spent more time studying game tape than maybe anyone else on the roster; Abram started out on the practice squad to start the year before getting chances to dress out for games here or there prior to this start. Props to him for seizing his opportunity.
Maybe it’ll lead to a larger role for him with free agency on the horizon. A former Raiders first-round draft pick out of Mississippi State, Abram suited up for a couple of different teams last year before he reunited with Derek Carr in New Orleans. He quickly established himself as a valuable player on the depth chart, and the Saints are fortunate to have him. We’ll see if he can continue to make a positive difference in Week 18’s regular season finale. | https://sports.yahoo.com/why-johnathan-abram-not-jordan-044208065.html | 2024-01-01T04:54:39Z |

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday declared Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) as an 'Unlawful Association' under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) 1967 for the next five years for "fomenting terrorism and anti-India propaganda" in the UT.

Anderson Cooper Does Tequila Shots On Live TV, Immediately Regrets It
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
CNN lifted the booze ban it had put in place for last year’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, allowing hosts Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen to knock back celebratory shots on the air once again.
“Does daddy get his juice?” Cohen asked early in Sunday night’s show from Times Square.
“Can daddy get his juice responsibly?” Cooper asked in return.
Cohen broke out a bottle of tequila and a pair of shot glasses, clearly happy with the decision.
Cooper, who is not a drinker, was less happy about it. He played along ― but didn’t even try to hide his reaction to the tequila:
Andy Cohen: "Does daddy get his juice?"
Anderson Cooper: "Can daddy get his juice responsibly?"#HappyNewYearpic.twitter.com/uVX5M33Vx8— Gabe Sanchez (@iamgabesanchez) January 1, 2024
After another shot an hour later, Cooper wasn’t any happier:
"Why do people do this?"
–@AndersonCooper after his 9pm tequila shot pic.twitter.com/ypqTl38jw4— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) January 1, 2024
The ban was put in place last year after Cohen had some wild moments during the 2021 broadcast, including insults aimed at Ryan Seacrest, Mark Zuckerberg, and then-New York Mayor Bill de Blasio.
He later admitted he had been “a bit overserved.”
With booze off the menu last year, the two were given alcohol-free “mystery” shots and tried to guess what they were. They had pickle juice, buttermilk and more.
Based on Cooper’s reaction to the tequila on Sunday night, he may have preferred the pickle juice. | https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/anderson-cooper-does-tequila-shots-042808731.html | 2024-01-01T04:54:45Z |

A grand welcome was given on Sunday to the newly introduced Amrit Bharat train in the Srikakulam Road, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam railway stations which come under the Waltair railway division of East Coast Railway zone. Enthusiastic students, public representatives and many other people reached the railway stations to take a glimpse of the Amrit Bharat train.
Representatives of various political parties, students, officers and staff were present to welcome the Amrit Bharat train. The entire station turned into a festive look to welcome the train. The students welcomed the train with balloons and flowers at Srikakulam Road railway station. An 8th-class student named Divya said that the journey of the Amrith Bharat is fantastic. "It's looking very hygienic. We came to Amadalavalsa railway station from Visakhapatnam to welcome the Amrith Bharat train and travelled almost 150km. The train was at a speed of up to 130km per hour," Divya said.
Another student Rakshitha said that she felt the Amrit Bharat train journey is almost like that of Vande Bharat Express train. "The only difference between Vande Bharat and Amrit Bhath is the air condition. Sleeper coaches of the train are very comfortable for long journeys," said Rakshitha.
It was indeed a festive mood at the railway stations under the Waltair Division where the train passed. There were various programs being organized at the stations in the Division to make grand celebrations of the maiden run of the Amrit Bharat train. Cultural programs, competitions among the school children, and joy rides were organized. At Srikakulam, Speaker of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Tammineni Seetharam, Member of Parliament K Ramamohan Naidu, and representatives of various political parties, unions, and media persons gathered to witness the arrival of the Amrit Bharat train.
Speaking on the occasion, DRM Saurabh Prasad highlighted various modern facilities available in the train and said that the state-of-the-art Push-pull train is the first of its kind in India. He emphasized that the train is equipped with the latest technology and modern comforts for the middle-class section of the country, with 14 stoppages in Andhra Pradesh. He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for introducing such a modern train on this route. The entire station transformed into a festive look to welcome the Amrit Bharat train. (ANI)

Post Malone Brings Vegas Flair to ‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
What better place to ring in the new year than in Las Vegas? Post Malone just performed his song “Chemical” from the BleauLive Theater on ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
The singer took the stage at the brand new luxury casino Fontainebleau Las Vegas dressed in shorts and sporting a Micah Parsons Cowboys jersey as he sang his hit while fans sang along. “I wish you so much love, so much success, so much happiness in your life. I love you more than I can ever say. Wherever you are, have an amazing night and have an amazing year,” he wished those tuning in. Post performed at the Vegas venue for a two-night residency to celebrate the new year.

— New Year’s Rockin’ Eve (@RockinEve) January 1, 2024
New Year’s Rockin’ Eve boasted performances broadcasted from New York (Jelly Roll, Megan Thee Stallion, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tyla among them) as well as from Los Angeles (Nile Rodgers and Chic, Bebe Rexha, Janelle Monáe, Reneé Rapp, and Green Day were among those who performed from L.A.). Post’s was the only set from Vegas, but this year the annual show went international and included a performance by NewJeans in South Korea where they performed “Super Shy,” and a performance from Ivy Queen with a Spanish countdown from Puerto Rico.
Malone released his single “Chemical” back in April, ahead of the release of his self-titled LP Austin — which featured songs “Overdrive,” “Too Cool to Die,” and “Something Real” — in late July. Around that time, he hit the road for his If Y’all Weren’t Here, I’d Be Crying tour.
Last month, the singer celebrated Christmas by joining NBC for its Christmas at Graceland special. There, he covered Elvis’ “(You’re the) Devil in Disguise.” This year, the musician also forayed into acting as he voiced Ray Fillet in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
For the first time, the annual special will be broadcast live on 150 iHeartRadio stations nationwide. This also marks the first year that Dick Clark Productions puts on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve since it was acquired by Penske Media Eldridge, the parent company of Rolling Stone and other entertainment magazines and brands.
Sunday’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve show featured major performances from artists such as Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter, LL Cool J, and Tyla from New York; Bebe Rexha, Green Day, Ellie Goulding, and Janelle Monáe also performed from Hollywood.

Nurpur, December 31
The state Forest Department, with the assistance of a rescue team from the Gopalpur zoo, Palampur, rescued a fully grown male leopard from a field at Bhogarwan village under the Rey range of Nurpur Forest Division Sunday evening.
The leopard had been trapped in a snare set up by unidentified persons in a field at the village.

According to information, the rescued leopard has been kept under observation at a ‘van thana’ at the Rey range. The DFO said if the leopard sustained no injuries, it would be released in the forest area, away from human habitations. If it had any injuries, it would be shifted to the Gopalpur zoo to receive treatment, he added.
He said statements of locals were being recorded. An FIR would be registered on Monday against the unidentified persons and further action would be taken against them as per the provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act.

Dave Chappelle: the controversial US comic sounds like a broken record in this Netflix special
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
For many years, Dave Chappelle came closer than many comics to being universally acclaimed, wisely following his iconic sketch show and early stand-up tours with 10 years of silence, allowing the legend to percolate. But despite the pleasant surprise of his 2016 comeback and the popular success that has followed, the US comedian has followed many other middle-aged comedians into a preoccupation with trans issues that has made him a controversial figure.
In The Dreamer, his seventh special for Netflix in six years, the 50-year-old may have climbed down from dedicating whole segments to his thoughts on the trans community, but he still returns to the topic compulsively, clumsily shoe-horning digs into unrelated routines.
There are many other contradictions within this hour, which needn’t be a bad thing. Part of Chappelle’s undeniable charisma is that he contains multitudes; the trick is – or should be – to embody those multitudes without being disingenuous. Entering pensively to the subtle strains of Radiohead’s Daydreaming and a high-minded quote from Thoreau, two minutes later he’s doing an impression of a disabled person which would have looked out of touch 30 years ago. Part of the problem, though, is that the audience is only laughing at the idea that someone else is going to be offended by the material, rather than because it is funny, which, sadly, it isn’t.
His stories have the benefit that we already know all the characters. After decades in the game, his anecdotes are populated exclusively by Chris Rock, Norm MacDonald, Jim Carrey and Jamie Foxx namedrops – and there’s something kind of thrilling about that in the short term. In a bid for thematic heft, Chappelle describes these people (celebrities) as “dreamers” and identifies himself as one of them. His message to us: “You have to be wise enough to know when you’re living in your dream, and you have to be humble enough to accept when you’re living in someone else’s.” At the end of the show, though, he tries to turn it around. Actually, he tell us, we’re the dreamers and he’s living in our dream. But that’s the falsest stroke of all, especially when he ends with a montage of himself posing with his celebrity friends and shooting two-pointers on the basketball court while Aloe Blacc triumphantly sings “I’m the man” over and over again.
Performing to crowds as tame as this one, it must be hard not to get self-congratulatory, but there are cultural differences at play too – Chappelle is an embodiment of a very American comedic style, the untouchable wise-guy who literally has the last laugh in every scenario. Ultimately though, he’s hobbled by his self-regard, unable to interpret his own experiences as less than mythic, unable to see that repeating the same old material bears no new comedic fruit, and therefore unable to really challenge himself.

New England's Spider Cake Got Its Unique Name From A Type Of Skillet
A New England spider cake, for those who are unfamiliar, is essentially a sweeter version of cornbread, typically featuring more sugar, as well as heavy cream. Further, the cake is often served with maple syrup drizzled over the top, truly cementing it as an ultra-sweet treat. In other words, New England spider cake and cornbread really represent the difference between a "bread" and a cake," despite both having the corn flavor at the forefront. But why is it called a spider cake? Well, the name comes from the type of skillet that it used to be made in.
A spider skillet is a cast iron pan with three legs underneath -- to keep it from touching the flame. This was necessary back in the day when a lot of cooking was done over an open flame or a hearth fire. Nowadays, the spider skillet has essentially become obsolete thanks to modern stoves and cookware — but, still, the name has stuck around for New England spider cake. It certainly has a nice ring to it, that's for sure.
If you're intrigued, either by the sound of a super sweet version of cornbread or by the fascinating history of the spider skillet, you're probably curious about attempting to bake it yourself — even though you likely do not own a spider skillet.

Can You Make New England Spider Cake Without A Spider Skillet?
Luckily for us, the New England spider cake has stuck around even though the spider skillet is no longer a common pan to have lying around. This brings us to one important question: What type of pan has replaced the spider skillet when it comes to making spider cake?
Nearly every recipe for spider cake you'll find calls for a cast iron skillet — in other words, a much more common type of pan to find in modern kitchens. Just like with traditional cornbread, the cast iron skillet will distribute heat evenly and help the spider cake cook evenly and give it the crispy, golden brown crust that can make or break a good cornbread (or spider cake).
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a carbon steel pan is also a great choice — it's the lesser appreciated pan to substitute for a cast iron and will deliver similar results. The main difference between the two is that the cast iron takes longer to heat up than the carbon steel pan, but retains heat for longer, which shouldn't affect the outcome of your New England spider cake.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal spells out national ambitions at party meet ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha polls
Aam Aadmi Party national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday spelled out his party's vision to expand organisation across the country and declared that the party would fiercely campaign for elections and secure all the seats as a member of the INDIA bloc.

- India
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday spelled out his party's vision to expand organisation across the country and declared that the party would fiercely campaign for elections and secure all the seats as a member of the INDIA bloc. Speaking at the virtual meeting of the National Council and National Executive of the Aam Aadmi Party, Kejriwal said, "AAP will form its organisation in the entire country because, without a strong organisation, it cannot win elections."
"AAP is part of the INDIA bloc, we will contest elections strongly on whatever seats we get and will win all the seats," added the party chief. The Chief Minister also exuded confidence in the Haryana Assembly elections and said, "AAP will fight next year's Haryana Assembly elections with full strength to form the government."
Adding to his statement, Arvind Kejriwal also mentioned the five AAP leaders who landed in jail after being arrested by central probe agencies. Referring to Satyendar Jain, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, Vijay Nair and Chaitar Vasava, the AAP convenor said, "The five AAP leaders who are in jail today are our heroes and we are very proud of all of them."
Alongwith AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Organization General Secretary Sandeep Pathak and party officials from across the country were present at the virtual party meeting. The National Executive and National Council meeting of the Aam Aadmi Party was called on Sunday after AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal returned to the national capital from Vipassana.
The meeting holds significant importance as it is being held amidst the 3rd notice by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) to CM Kejriwal. Kejriwal returned to Delhi on Saturday after 10 days of Vipassana meditation at Hoshiarpur in Punjab.
As per official sources, Kejriwal is likely to appear before the Enforcement Directorate on January 3 in connection with the excise policy case. Earlier on December 22, ED issued a third summons to CM Kejriwal in connection with the excise policy case, asking him to appear before the agency on January 3.
Kejriwal was issued the second summons by the ED on December 18, asking him to depose at the federal agency's office on December 21, which the Chief Minister skipped. The Delhi CM was first called by the central agency to appear on November 2, but he did not depose, alleging that the notice was "vague, motivated and unsustainable in law."He further alleged that the said summons appeared to be politically motivated and issued for extraneous considerations.CM Kejriwal was also summoned by the CBI in April this year in connection with the case.
Kejriwal was not named as an accused in the first information report (FIR) filed by the CBI on August 17, last year. In February 2023, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI for alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi's new excise policy. The policy was withdrawn amid allegations of foul play by the opposition. (ANI)

California summer camp gives teen girls training as wildland firefighters
SAN FRANCISCO -- Cal Fire is hoping to inspire girls to join the fire service once they're adults.
The agency is currently taking applications for a program called Camp Cinder -- a five-day camp during the summer in Shasta or in San Luis Obispo where girls age 16 to 18 learn about their career options as firefighters.
Female firefighters lead the program. Cal Fire's Savanna Birchfield says women from agencies all over California come and take part in Camp Cinder.
"Getting to be a part of Camp Cinder and to give that opportunity to young women -- to show them that this is a career field that they're perfectly capable of going into if it's something that is interesting to them -- that's important to me," Birchfield said. "I know it means a lot to the other women that are involved in this program."
Birchfield says there aren't a lot of women in the fire service -- only about 4 percent of Cal Fire employees. Historically, she says, firefighting has been a field geared towards young men but that needn't be the case anymore.
"There are a lot of strong, capable women who work in the fire service throughout the country, not just California," Birchfield said. "It's a good way for young women to see that this is an opportunity for them and to see if it is something that they would enjoy."
Whether the girls decide to pursue a career in the fire service or not, Birchfield and the rest of the Cal Fire team hope the girls leave with a sense of empowerment and confidence that they'll take wherever they go.
Cal Fire will accept applications through Jan. 31. Camp Cinder will take place during June 2024. All necessary equipment will be provided for the campers free of charge.

An abuse survivor who fled a "controlling" and violent boyfriend has spoken out about the huge impact his behaviour has had on her life. The woman, who is in her early 20s, was grabbed, pushed and strangled during a string of attacks by Conor Percy, 27, who was recently sentenced at Leicester Crown Court for his crimes.
Their relationship began in July 2021, and in the first few months the victim, who did not want to be named, said Percy showered her with attention and affection, a tactic known as love-bombing. But he quickly turned nasty, and within months began a campaign of violence and manipulation - at one point, threatening to harm himself if the relationship ended, she claimed.
The first incident happened just a few months into the relationship, she said. “It was during Hallowe'en weekend - I had gone to a friend’s apartment with him, and he didn’t like how I was interacting with other people. He didn’t like what I was wearing.”

The pair got into a fight in which, the court heard, Percy attempted to take her phone, and while pulling her hand, injured her finger. “I told him, ‘You’ve done this and it’s wrong, you have to go to therapy'," she said. "But he just love-bombed me.”
She said she believed Percy had anger problems, and she wanted to help him by encouraging him to seek help, which she said he agreed to. But throughout their relationship, she said, he never did seek such support, despite his promises.
His behaviour grew worse, and he would later go on to brazenly deny abusing her, she claimed. “I told him when he hurt me. I said to him, ‘I was sat on the floor and you were kicking me’, and he just said, ‘No, I was not’."
After initially coming to Leicester for university, the young woman had set up a life for herself of which she was proud. She loved her job, had set up a business and was living in a flat she had rented her own. But once she was in a relationship with Percy, her every move was “put under a microscope”, she said.
The woman was told she was not allowed to close or lock the bathroom door if he was there. If she was out with friends, he would call her and constantly send her messages - which LeicestershireLive has seen - often accusing her of cheating on him.
While she was at work, she said Percy would “loiter outside the office” and watch her, messaging her, and asking questions about what she was doing and who she was with. "I would go to work and he would wait outside, even if I asked not to see him that night," she said. "He would pick me up, take me home and then he would just stay there.”
On a separate occasion, during a visit from her family, she said he insisted on joining her, despite her wanting to spend time with them on her own.
“I would just not tell or show my friends what he was like," she said. "They would just say, ‘Get off your phone a minute’. I could go out for one hour doing nothing, and he would just bombard my phone with messages.”
'One of the first things I did when I left him was a skincare routine and it felt so good - I couldn’t do anything like that when I was with him, I couldn’t even shut the bathroom door'
She also said Percy was unsupportive about her professional life, saying her success was down to her looks rather than ability, but would then share how “proud” he was of her on social media posts - painting a different picture of the reality of his attitude towards her.
Bruises or other evidence of physical abuse was “scarily easy to hide” with makeup or clothing, the woman said. It was Percy's “controlling behaviour”, she claimed, that became difficult to manage and, along with the violence, stripped her of the life she built.
“It was easy for him to blame [his behaviour] on mental health and I felt I had to stay,” she told LeicestershireLive.
In July 2022, a drunk Percy pushed her, shoved her onto the bed and held her down as she tried to get away. He only let go of her when she hit him and then locked herself in the bathroom before he “passed out” on the bed, the court heard. The next evening, after she returned from work, Percy came back to her flat, banging on her door until she opened it and strangled her until she could not breathe.
It was during a subsequent visit from her friends and her sister that Percy’s treatment of her came to light. During their stay with her, she said, she did not reply to his messages - and Percy contacted them instead.
“The next day, they said to me this was not normal,” she told LeicestershireLive. With her sister's and friends' encouragement, she made a snap decision to flee, packing nothing, and soon after told her parents what had been going on. She later returned to her flat with her family to pack up her life in the city, and officially end the abusive relationship.
“One of the first things I did when I left him was a skincare routine, and it felt so good - I couldn’t do anything like that when I was with him, I couldn’t even shut the bathroom door,” she said. She added that when she eventually told the police, officers "were shocked" by the countless messages Percy would send, one after another.
During the relationship, she said, her quality of life deteriorated and she said she lost her old self "completely". The abuse she suffered by Percy left her scared and anxious, she said, even about receiving phone notifications.
She said: "I gave him so much of my life. By the time I was out of [the relationship], I wasn't the same person anymore."
In her victim impact statement that was read to the court, she said her life had “been on hold” until Percy was sentenced. "Waking up in instant fight or flight mode is painful and debilitating," she said. "I constantly worry about my future and long to go back to my old, career-driven, bubbly self."
Percy, of Roundhill Close, Syston, appeared at Leicester Crown Court for sentencing in December, after pleading guilty to three counts of common assault and one charge of non-fatal strangulation. The 27-year-old avoided time behind bars, with the judge saying he did not consider the abuser a “danger to the public at large”, but that he was concerned about Percy's future relationships. The judge sentenced Percy, who is a manager of a welding supply firm, to 21 months in prison, suspended for two years, with 100 hours of unpaid work and a curfew from 8pm until 6am for the next two months.
"That will remind you of how close you have come to prison today," the judge said of the curfew. The 27-year-old was also ordered to pay £1,000 court costs and do a Building Better Relationships course with the probation service.

LatAm economy faces downward risks in complicated global environment: UN report
The region's GDP could grow 1.7 percent in 2019, from the 1 percent estimated for 2018, according to the report "World Economic Situation and Prospects 2019."
"There are emerging risks we have to take care of, especially in matters of financial volatility, trade disputes and debt levels," said Hugo Beteta, CEO of the subregional office of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) in Mexico, Xinhua reports.
By 2020, the rate of regional growth could reach 2.3 percent, but that scenario faces challenges such as a possible slowdown of the U.S. economy, said Beteta during a press conference.
There is also a prevailing uncertainty over oil prices and some metals, in addition to countries facing limited options in terms of countercyclical fiscal and monetary policies, the UN indicated.
For the subregion of Mexico and Central America, the expectation is a moderate growth in the next two years, thanks in large part to the momentum of the U.S. economy.
In terms of South America, the UN indicated the subregion will be the main source of momentum for the entire continent. Although Brazil and Argentina faces challenging prospects, their economic conditions are expected to see a gradual improvement.
According to the UN report, the increase in trade tensions at a global level has reduced growth expectations, although certain incentive and subsidy measures adopted by some countries have offset the effect.
The global economy could grow by 3 percent in 2019 and 2020, up from the 3.1 percent expected in 2018, the report added. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/latam-economy-faces-downward-risks-in-complicated-global-environment-un-report_a3491783/ | 2024-01-01T04:55:09Z |

NURPUR, DECEMBER 31
Resentment is brewing among villagers of around two dozen gram panchayats in Nagrota Surian development block in Jawali subdivision of Kangra district as the state government has failed to post even a single doctor at the local Community Health Centre (CHC). The healthcare of this area has been crumbling for the past one year as most of the posts at this CHC-cum-Block Medical Office (BMO) have been lying vacant. Patients have to rush to the Civil Hospital at Jawali or Tanda Medical College in Kangra for treatment.
Two docs shifted
- About 250 patients used to visit the out patient department (OPD) of the Community Health Centre six months ago when two doctors were posted here, but the state government shifted both doctors
- A CHC should have the provision of 30 beds in its indoor ward but this hospital has only six
The state Health and Family Welfare Department ordered the posting of 73 doctors, including specialists, in different health institutions of the state on December 23 but not a single doctor has been posted in this CHC. In the absence of any doctor here, some patients fall prey to quacks or expensive healthcare facilities in private clinics. About 250 patients used to visit the Out Patient Department (OPD) of the CHC six months ago when two doctors were posted here, but the state government shifted both doctors, leaving residents in the lurch.
Inquiries reveal that a CHC should have the provision of an indoor ward with 30 beds but this hospital has only six beds in its indoor ward ever since it has been upgraded from the Primary Health Centre (PHC) to the CHC. Notably, the BMO office is also being run on the premises of the CHC. It, too, has been without an administrative officer and office superintendent for the past six years. Eight out of nine posts of office clerk are also vacant in the office. As most of the posts at the BMO office are lying vacant, running the administration of one civil hospital, two CHCs, six PHCs and 39 health sub-centres in the area has become an uphill task.
Sanjay Guleria, a BJP leader who had unsuccessfully contested the last Assembly election from Jawali Assembly constituency on party ticket, alleged that the Nagrota Surian region of Jawali subdivision was being discriminated against by the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu government. He lamented that the residents of this “neglected” region had got no benefit even though local MLA Chander Kumar was a Cabinet minister in the Sukhu government. The elected representatives of gram panchayats in Nagrota Surian development block have appealed to the Chief Minister to intervene and order the Health Department to fill the vacant posts in the CHC.
Sushil Sharma, Chief Medical Officer, Kangra, said senior officers of the Health Department were aware of the existing status of vacant posts in the CHC and BMO, Nagrota Surian. He added that a “time-gap arrangement” had been made to make this CHC functional by deploying a doctor in rotation from peripheral health institutions.

Henry Homeyer: 2023 – a year in the garden
Henry Homeyer | Dec 31, 2023 | Comments 0
By Henry Homeyer
© 2023 Telegraph Publishing LLC
For many of us, 2023 was a disappointment. The summer was rainy much of the time. Vegetables like tomatoes and potatoes – vegetables that require lots of energy to build fruit or tubers – did not do well. Fungal diseases like late blight are most virulent with moist conditions, which we had in spades. And in my part of the world, there was a late frost that spoiled the blossoms on your fruit trees – so no apples or pears. Sigh.
On the other hand, it was a great summer for newly planted trees and shrubs. I planted yet another pawpaw tree this summer, along with a fringe tree , an American hazelnut and a gooseberry. Although I watered them all well at planting time, the soil stayed moist all summer from the rain, and all have done well.
Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a native fruit tree that is common in the woods of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The fruit is almost tropical in flavor, sometimes compared to a mix of mango and banana flavors. The trees are rated hardy to zone 5 (-20 degrees F), but I have had one survive much colder temperatures – and another that died in a cold winter.
I have one pawpaw tree that is now 20ft tall and 10 years old or more, but I am yet to get any fruit from it – despite the fact that it has blossomed. Apparently they are self-sterile, so in the past three years I have been planting new trees from different sources. Pawpaws send up root suckers, but these are genetic clones and not suitable for pollinating the mother tree. They are most often pollinated by insects that feed on dead meat, so one friend I know hangs road kill in her trees to attract pollinators!
A few thoughts about planting trees: First, preferentially choose trees and shrubs that are native to New England – or the United States. These are best for our birds and pollinators. And no, that doesn’t mean you should deprive yourself of the beauty of a Merrill or Jane magnolia. I just want to suggest a 90:10 or 80:20 ratio of natives to imported or hybridized varieties.
Secondly, if you plant trees in spring or summer, you must water during dry times. Fall is usually wet enough. A newly planted tree needs 5 gallons of water once a week distributed in a wide circle around it. A 2in layer of mulch will help minimize drying on hot August days and keep the mowers and string trimmers at bay. Mulch will also minimize weeds that compete for nutrients and water.
Some gardeners focus on growing vegetables, others on flowers. I want both. I started as a vegetable gardener, largely because there is little better in life than biting into a home grown tomato warm from the sun. I grow both heirloom tomatoes like Brandywine, Cherokee Purple and Ox Heart. But I also plant and hybrids like Sungold, my favorite cherry tomato, and Defiant, which is resistant to some diseases.
If you grow open pollinated (heirloom) tomatoes, you can save a few seeds each year and dry them on a paper towel. Store them in a cool dark location and they will serve you well if you want to start your own seedlings, starting indoors in early April. But don’t save hybrid seeds as most will not breed true.
One of my readers wrote me this fall reminding me of something I wrote long ago: “I will make it through another winter because I want to see what else did.” It’s true. I can’t let age catch up with me because I want to see the annual show: snowdrops blooming in March; my Merrill magnolia which blooms each year with a thousand double white blossoms on my birthday in April; and the Japanese primroses – 500 to a 1,000 of them beginning in May and lasting until mid-June.
My advice about planting flowers is simple: grow what you love. Grow what your Grammie and mother grew. Grow what stops you in your tracks when you see if for the first time each season. Plant more of your favorites each year, or divide them and spread them out to new corners of the property. But keep it simple: Don’t plant so much that weeding becomes a dreaded chore.
I love arranging flowers and keep a vase of my own cut flowers on the table from March until after Halloween. You can do this if you plant lots of bulbs for early spring, your favorite perennials, and very importantly – plant annual flowers. Annual flowers keep on blooming all summer if you keep them from going to seed.
It’s easy to buy six-packs of annuals in spring and plant them in your perennial beds as well as in your vegetable garden. Most like full sun or part sun/part shade. And don’t fertilize annuals in the garden – too much nitrogen promotes leafy growth but delays flowering. Potted annuals do need some fertilizer as the fertilizer in potting mix is water soluble and gets used up or washes away.
Remember, as you ponder your plans for a garden while looking at a snowy landscape, that gardening should be fun. As they say, “Take time to smell the roses.” Place chairs or benches in the garden so you can stop for tea or the cold beverage of your choice while chatting with a friend or loved one. My garden is my respite. It’s where I go when the world is too much with me. So do some planning now. Read gardening books. And dream. I certainly do, and know it pays off.
Henry’s column will appear at the beginning of each month this winter.

Deputies release footage of shooting woman suspected in Rancho Cordova break-in
RANCHO CORDOVA - Body camera footage has been released of an incident when deputies shot and wounded a woman suspected of breaking into a home in Rancho Cordova in November.
The suspect reported to the Rancho Cordova Police Department that her dog was missing on Nov. 20. The sheriff's communications team called her back and she said she found her dogs in a backyard before hanging up.
Deputies then received a report from a different person saying that the suspect, later identified as 24-year-old Kyrieanna Liles, had a butcher knife and was trying to break into a home on Augibi Way.
After calling Liles back, she stated she found her dogs and was in her room before hanging up again.
Three officers responded to the area and eventually found Liles sitting in a parked car on Malaga Way.
After speaking with Liles and trying to get her out of her vehicle, Liles backed up her car before shifting into drive. She drove toward an officer on the front lawn of a home, the video shows. That full video can be seen by clicking here (WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised).
The officer was able to move out of the way and ten shots were fired at the suspect's vehicle. Deputies said the officer who the suspect drove toward fired seven shots and his partner fired three.
No officers were injured.
Liles accelerated down the street, leading officers on a chase.
She was later detained and taken to the hospital for a gunshot wound to the arm.
Liles was booked into jail after she was released from the hospital. Officers found two large kitchen knives in her home, matching the description of the one in the reported break-in.
The deputy who fired seven rounds has been with the sheriff's office since 2017. The other officer has been with the sheriff's office since 2021.
The officers in the incident are assigned to the Rancho Cordova Police Department but are deputies with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
Liles was charged with assaulting an officer.

Surfer dies after shark bite, officials say
PAIA, Hawaii (KHNL/Gray News) - A 39-year-old surfer died Saturday after suffering a shark bite at Maui’s Paia Bay, the Department of Land and Natural Resources confirmed.
Details on the injuries of Jason Carter oh Haiku were not released.
Maui Fire Department officials say the incident happened about 11 a.m.
A Department of Land and Natural Resources spokesman confirmed about 5:30 p.m. that Carter had died.
Officials said water conditions at the time were “mixed” because of high surf conditions.
The County of Maui posted on its official Instagram that Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park were closed due to the shark incident.
First responders were patrolling the area on shore and on jet skis, according to Maui Fire Department. Department of Land and Natural Resources officials said shark warning signs are up one mile on either side of the incident site.
The incident is seventh shark encounter in Hawaii waters this year and the first resulting in fatal injuries, according to the agency’s shark incident database.

Las Vegas’ ‘Wedding Queen of the West’ dies
Updated December 31, 2023 - 8:44 pm
Charolette Richards, the “Wedding Queen of the West” who helped thousands of couples tie the knot in Vegas, has died. She was 90.
A representative of the Clark County Marriage Bureau confirmed Sunday night Richards died Dec. 13. No further details have been provided.
Richards owned and operated A Little White Wedding Chapel at 1301 Las Vegas Blvd. South in downtown Las Vegas for more than 60 years, selling the property in November 2022. She estimated the chapel, which was actually little and white, performed about a million wedding ceremonies since opening in 1951, a decade before she took over.
The business was purchased by Cliff Evarts, CEO and founder of the Vegas Weddings. Evarts and Vegas Weddings President Melody Willis-Williams have been running day-to-day operations since Richards stepped down.
Richards was asked at the time how it felt to be ending her full-time affiliation with the iconic chapel.
“It’s just beautiful for me. It doesn’t matter if it’s the beginning of my life, the middle of my life or what my life should come to be,” she said. “I’ll never forget the thousands and thousands of people who have been married at the chapel.”
The business was internationally renowned for its quick, celebrity weddings. Britney Spears’ infamous wedding to her then-friend Jason Alexander on Jan. 3, 2004, annulled in 55 hours, was held at Little White Chapel.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were married at A Little White Chapel in July 2022. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were married there in 2019. Richards also performed ceremonies for Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy, Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, and Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme are among the dozens of celebs wed by her or at the chapel.
The chapel has also featured on such TV shows as “WWE Raw,” “Supernatural,” “Friends” and “Good Morning America.”
Richards remained “honorary minister,” performing ceremonies in her retirement days. The chapel’s “Tunnel of Love” drive-thru chapel is being renamed Charolette’s Way.
“She certainly is the icon of the industry. I’ve been thinking back on it, and we used to joke that everyone we ever hired had previously worked for Charolette,” Evarts said just after taking over the chapel. “She basically has trained everyone in the wedding industry in Las Vegas. We’re really fortunate to be able to step in and try to carry her legend and legacy.”
As recalled in the new James Patterson/Mark Seal book “What Really Happens in Vegas,” Richards was wedding coordinator for Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley at the Aladdinin May 1967. “I got the judge, the flowers, his cake, everything. And I made sure that everything ran well.”
Richards was called to a Golden Nugget suite to marry Willis and Moore.
“I didn’t know who they were,” she said in Vegas magazine. “When I pronounced them husband and wife, they were crying.” Willis lifted Moore, then lowered his new bride for a gentle first kiss.
“It was like a movie,” Richards recalled.
She once married five couples simultaneously. She once lined up 20 couples for a vow renewal. But Richards said she was not driven by stats or celebs.
“I’m not into stardom,” she said. ‘I’m into God.”

The Chairman of the Shri Badrinath - Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC), Ajendra Ajay on Sunday held a meeting with Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sharma, and his wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma.

As a token of respect, the BKTC President presented the Chief Minister with Prasad from Baba Kedar and Lord Badri Vishal. The Chief Minister and his wife are currently on a visit to Uttarakhand.
On the same day, the Chief Minister was also graced with the blessings of Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji, the president of Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh, along with other saints. "I received the blessings and presence of the revered Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji, the president of Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh, and other venerable saints.

During the 40-minute-long interaction on Friday, Chief Minister Sarma apprised Union Minister Goyal about the rapid progress the state has made on the industrial front, with new investments pouring in.
The Chief Minister further urged the Union Minister for Commerce and Industry to launch the North East Industrial Policy as Assam and the North East region have been witnessing rapid economic growth and it would give an added impetus to the existing efforts. Giving a patient hearing, Union Minister Goyal assured Chief Minister Sarma that his proposal to launch the North East Industrial Policy would be under active consideration by his ministry.
Later, taking to X, formerly Twitter, Chief Minister Sarma wrote, "So much to learn from our extremely learned Hon'ble Union Minister PiyushGoyal ji.

Ceremony of the Crosses held in Oakland to commemorate 2023 homicide victims
OAKLAND, Calif. - The 14th annual Ceremony of the Crosses was held at St. Columba Catholic Church Sunday to commemorate the lives lost to homicide in Oakland this year.
Families and community members gathered together as crosses honoring homicide victims were removed from the garden and given to victims' families to take home.
A cross with each victim's name is placed in the church's garden. As part of the ceremony, the names of each of the victims are read aloud as each cross is removed and brought to the foot of the church's altar.
"This year there are 123 crosses out in front," Richard Laufenberg tells KTVU. Laufenberg builds and paints each cross by hand, often reaching out to the victims' families.
Rev. Jayson Landeza started the Ceremony of the Crosses at St. Columba during his tenure as its pastor 14 years ago. He now serves as the chaplain for the Oakland Police Department.
"Each cross is representing somebody's son, somebody's brother. That there was a name and a date attached so each and every one of these folks who passed away is seen as not just a number, but as a human," Landeza said.
Organizers of the event say remembering that humanity is an important part of this work.
"You get so used to the process, I look at it every day and sometimes I don't even see it, and that's bad," said Rev. Aiden McAleenan, the pastor at St. Columba Catholic Church.
Though the number of crosses often stretches into the hundreds every December, Laufenberg repeats the words he has been using for years:
"One is too many," he said.
Miles Spruill lost his mother Dilma in a January stabbing. She was a United States Postal Worker, and she was killed as she walked home from work. Spruill says through his grief, he holds on tight to the good memories they shared:
"Thanksgiving of last year, that was our last time dancing with each other...I'm always gonna cherish that last memory," he told KTVU.
McAleenan hopes that the community is building towards a safer future.
"Ultimately, I want the garden to be a garden; wouldn't that just be beautiful if we could get to that space in Oakland?" he asked.
Mayor Sheng Thao also attended the ceremony and participated in the reading of the names. Participants tell me that though the ceremony was a somber one, much hope for Oakland's future remains. | https://www.ktvu.com/news/ceremony-of-crosses-held-in-oakland-to-commemorate-2023-homicide-victims | 2024-01-01T04:55:15Z |
Melissa Hoskins's death has left the cycling world grief-stricken — here's what we know so far
The death of world champion cyclist Melissa Hoskins and the arrest of her husband Rohan Dennis have sent shock waves through Australian sporting circles and the broader cycling world.
Key points:
- Melissa Hoskins, 32, died in hospital after she was hit by a car on Saturday night
- Her husband Rohan Dennis has been charged with dangerous driving offences
- Tributes have flowed for Ms Hoskins as police continue to investigate
Expressions of grief have flowed for the 32-year-old mother-of-two, who died after she was hit by a car near her home at Medindie in Adelaide.
Her husband Rohan Dennis, who is also an internationally renowned cycling champion and former Tour Down Under winner, has been charged with multiple dangerous driving offences.
The 33-year-old — who had been due to take part in a Tour Down Under pre-race family ride in less than a fortnight — will face court in March.
With the matter currently before the courts, police have refrained from going into detail, but are appealing for anyone with information that could help the investigation to come forward.
Here's what we know about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The night of the crash
The crash happened on Avenel Gardens Road at Medindie, a suburb in Adelaide's inner north, where emergency services were called just after 8pm on Saturday night.
In an initial statement, police said Ms Hoskins "suffered serious injuries" when she was hit by a car, and she was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital for treatment.
"Sadly, she died in hospital overnight," police said on Sunday morning.
Major Crash investigators and SA Police detectives attended the scene of the crash.
Police today have said they can provide little further detail about the sequence of events but indicated CCTV could help determine the circumstances.
"I can't really reveal too much about the actual investigation because it is currently before the courts," Acting Assistant Commissioner Rob Papworth said.
When asked whether the victim had been on a bike at the time she was hit, Acting Assistant Commissioner Papworth responded: "Not that I'm aware of."
"The matter's still subject to investigation but that's not information that I'm aware of," he said.
Becoming a world champion
Melissa Hoskins was a two-time Olympian whose achievements included helping power Australia to team pursuit glory at the 2015 UCI Track Cycling Championships.
"I'm a veteran at 24," she said in an interview with website Bike Exchange, shortly after the world record ride.
"My biggest achievement to date would be the world title and world record that we won this year in the teams pursuit in Paris, on the track."
Ms Hoskins began competitive cycling at age 16 and, in an interview with Cycling Australia, she spoke of the determination that compelled her to achieve the best she could.
"My coach once said to me, 'You've got this opportunity to do something extraordinary and the rest of your life to be ordinary' — I've kind of got that opportunity so I've got to roll with it," she said.
After a bike crash while training in Rio ahead of the 2016 Olympics, Ms Hoskins retired from professional cycling the following year.
Originally from Perth, Ms Hoskins married South Australian champion cyclist Rohan Dennis in 2018, and the couple had two children.
Dangerous driving charges laid
Mr Dennis is himself an internationally successful cyclist, with multiple career achievements including victory in the 2015 Tour Down Under.
He is a multi-stage winner at cycling's Grand Tours, and during the 2015 Tour de France he briefly secured the coveted yellow jersey and led the race.
He also has a bronze and a silver Olympic medal, from the 2020 Tokyo and 2012 London games respectively.
Police have said the 33-year-old, who has been granted bail, will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on March 13.
He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life.
Police have appealed to anyone with information about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.
Mr Dennis, who only recently retired from professional cycling, had been due to take part in this year's Tour Down Under pre-race family ride.
The race website promoted the event as a chance to ride alongside Mr Dennis "as he is joined by his own family at the start line".
However, his name has since been removed from the page.
Cycling great leads tributes
Tributes to Melissa Hoskins have flowed from some of cycling's highest echelons, and she has been remembered as a much-loved athlete, inspirational competitor, and valued friend.
"A mother, daughter, and wife, [she] was also a champion cyclist who thrilled and inspired us with her exquisite skills on the track and road," AusCycling CEO Marne Fechner said in a statement.
"Although she retired in 2017, her presence as an alumnus of the sport has been felt and appreciated by many in the cycling and riding community."
Cycling great Anna Meares said it was a "very difficult and tragic time", and extended her condolences to Ms Hoskins's family, children and friends.
"I have a very heavy heart," she wrote on Instagram. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-01/melissa-hoskins-death-shocks-world-cycling/103276828 | 2024-01-01T04:55:15Z |
Kenya Newspapers Review: Kalonzo Musyoka Vows Not to Drop His Bid to Unseat William Ruto in 2027
On Monday, January 1, the local publications covered happenings around the country as Kenyans converged at different social establishments to welcome the new year.
The newspapers also reported on President William Ruto's New Year address that covered his government's wins and misses in 2023 ahead of the next year.
1. The Standard
The publication reported a man was killed by a mob at Mutheng'o village in Maragua after he stabbed his wife following a domestic dispute.
David Kimani Kang'ethe was accosted by an irate mob near his home in a bid to avenge the stabbing of his wife Esther Mumbi, 29.
PAY ATTENTION: Do you have a video that never fails to make you smile? Spread the positivity by sharing it with us via WhatsApp: 0732482690.
Alice Wandia, Kang'ethe's mother-in-law, went to buy milk leaving the couple at home around 6pm only to receive a call informing her that there was a fight in her compound.
Neighbours rushed to Wandia's compound and found Mumbi in critical condition and rushed her to Maragua Level Four Hospital before being referred to Murang'a Level Five Hospital for specialised treatment.
Murang'a South Police Commander Jane Nyakeruma said Mumbi, a mother of one, had separated from her spouse a year ago and had come to visit their six-year-old daughter.
2. Daily Nation
According to the daily, Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya leader Kalonzo Musyoka hinted that he would contest the 2027 presidential election, saying he would not support Azimio leader Raila Odinga for a sixth attempt.
The 70-year-old politician said dropping his presidential ambitions again in favour of Raila, as he did in 2013, 2017, and 2022, would mean retiring from active politics because of his age.
He exuded confidence that he had the support of the opposition brigade, including Raila, to unseat Ruto in the next election.
Raila had in October given the clearest indication yet that the opposition coalition would rally behind Musyoka as its flagbearer.
Raila Odinga Declares Nationwide Protests Will Return in 2024 over Cost of Living: "Tutarudi Uwanja"
However, he retracted his endorsement after his statement reportedly caused jitters in the camp.
But some of Raila's close allies have since started aligning themselves with Musyoka, giving credence to reports that Raila might endorse his candidacy.
He also appealed to some ODM politicians whom he accused of always pushing Raila to be on the ballot to win their seats, saying they could still win without the former premier on the ballot.
Musyoka, who served as the late Mwai Kibaki's vice president between 2008 and 2013, revealed that the coalition would decide on its candidate early enough to avoid confusion that has marred similar processes in the past.
He expressed confidence in his candidature, saying the stars were aligned for his second attempt at the top seat.
3. Taifa Leo
The Swahili paper reported as Kenyans welcome the new year 2024, all eyes are on Ruto to reduce the cost of living.
Since taking office in September 2022, rising prices of essential goods like food, fuel, and electricity have challenged Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza government.
In his one-year tenure, prices of crucial items such as cooking oil, flour, and sugar surged, causing hardship for citizens.
The government imposed heavy taxes to fund the KSh 3.7 trillion budget, exacerbating the rising cost of living.
Prices of petroleum, diesel, and kerosene also soared, surpassing KSh 200 per liter. Many companies reported losses due to high taxation and the depreciation of the Kenyan Shilling against foreign currencies, like the US Dollar.
To alleviate financial burdens, some firms downsized, while others relocated, citing unfavourable business conditions.
Despite opposition, activists, and even complaints from ruling coalition MPs, Ruto insists on economic reforms.
Several activists, including Senator Okiya Omtatah and lawyers from the Law Society of Kenya, challenged tax laws in court, but the president claims they're funded by government opponents.
Many analysts have suggested Ruto's actions in 2024 would determine whether he eases his stance and reduces the cost of living, especially after Raila Odinga threatened protests against the government.

Shimla, December 31
Shimla hoteliers claim that the hotel occupancy rate was just around 60-70 per cent in Shimla on the New Year Eve. “This occupancy rate is quite low on New Year Eve,” said Mohinder Seth, president of the Shimla Hotels and Tourism Stakeholders’ Association.
Seth alleges that the unauthorised homestays and bed and breakfast facilities in and around Shimla were hitting the hoteliers hard. “A large chunk of tourists opt for these accommodations due to lower tariff. These accommodations are hurting both hoteliers as well as the government,” he said.
manali: Hoteliers in Manali were also slightly disappointed as the tourist rush for New Year celebrations was much less as compared to Christmas.
Hem Raj Sharma, a hotelier in Manali, said, “Traffic jams in Manali and its surrounding areas were widely reported on social media and mainstream media, which had an adverse impact on tourist arrival in the region.”

Nutramigen baby formula recalled over possible bacterial contamination
Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition issued a voluntary recall for baby formula that may be contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria, the Food and Drug Administration said Sunday.
While there have been no reports of illnesses connected to Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula products, the company said there was a possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
Illnesses connected to Cronobacter are rare, but they can be deadly in infants, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cronobacter sakazakii, a germ found naturally in the environment, can live in dry foods, including powdered infant formula, powdered milk, herbal teas and starches. Powdered formula can get contaminated in the home after being opened.
A newborn infected by Cronobacter sakazakii last year died just 13 days after his illness started, according to the CDC.
The bacteria can cause severe, life-threatening infections or meningitis, according to the recall alert. Symptoms may include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice, grunting breaths and abnormal movements.
"All product in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria," the company said in the recall notice.
Sunday's recall applies to select batches of Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula for the dietary management of Cows Milk Allergy, sold in 12.6 and 19.8 ounce cans. The Nutramigen, manufactured in June 2023, was primarily distributed in June, July and August. The products have a UPC Code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and a "Use By Date" of Jan. 1, 2025.
"Based on the limited availability of the remaining stock of this special infant formula, it is believed that much, if not all, of the products recalled in the United States have been consumed," according to the recall notice.
Customers who bought Nutramigen should check the bottom of the can to identify whether the batch number is affected. Product with the following batch codes should be disposed of, according to the recall notice:
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans);
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans); and
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans).
Customers can contact the company for a refund by calling 866-534-9986 or by emailing consumer.relations@rb.com.

Holiday travelers say San Jose airport is a breeze
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Holiday travelers flying out of the South Bay have been treated to short security lines and few cancellations this year.
While other travelers across the country have fallen victim to long check-ins, cancellations and delays amid winter weather, San Jose Mineta International Airport spokesperson Ana State said this year's holiday travel season has been without any hitches.
"We didn't have any long lines or incidents," State told San Jose Spotlight. "It's been a great holiday season here at SJC."
Last year, travel was halted for many by bad weather and ill-prepared airlines, most notably Southwest, which canceled about 60% of its flights starting on Christmas Eve. State said this year, a few flights had been delayed or canceled per day, mostly because of weather conditions at the destination, but not nearly as many as last year.
The holiday season is measured between Dec. 15 and Jan. 1, and the airport has already seen an uptick in travelers compared to last year, State said. The exact number won't be available until later next month. Foot traffic over the holidays has been steadily increasing as air travel recovers from the pandemic.
San Jose resident David Bustos said he doesn't fly often, but he's found SJC usually provides a good experience.
"A while back, you heard all the hoopla with Southwest, but nothing this time. Everything went smoothly," Bustos told San Jose Spotlight.
He and his wife, Carol, had flown back from Las Vegas, where they spent a few days on and around Christmas with friends. Sitting at one of the airport benches, they waited to be picked up at the airport by their grandson and will spend New Year's with family.
Not everyone had a smooth trip, however. Violet Saena's Southwest flight to Honolulu was delayed for hours after the plane had maintenance problems. She told San Jose Spotlight everyone boarded and sat on the plane for two hours before disembarking again at the gate. Southwest representatives told her they aimed to take off at about 4 p.m. But she worried about the plane's safety and knew the delay would make it harder to catch her connecting flight from Honolulu to Samoa.
The connection with Fiji Airways only runs once a week. She had hoped to spend three weeks in Samoa and ring in the new year with family. Instead, Saena had to delay her trip by a week because other flights to Honolulu were either fully booked or too expensive.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Holiday travel season off to a good start at San Jose airport
"It's a lot to think about, trying to change my flight. I was trying to check Hawaiian (Airlines) and it's $1,600 for a one-way," Saena told San Jose Spotlight. "I'm sure everybody will understand ... (but) cancellations are terrible."
Veronica and Benjamin Regalado arrived at the airport three hours before their flight, planning for long lines and crowds. The couple was flying to Las Vegas to pick up the keys to a new house, which they plan to rent.
"Usually, airports are jam-packed, but today the flow's just going," Veronica told San Jose Spotlight. "I know in Vegas the airport's probably going to be more packed. We've gone to San Diego in an airplane on Thanksgiving and Fourth of July, it seemed very packed and crazy."
Veronica said they want the house to be a way to teach their children about investing. They only planned on staying in Las Vegas a few days to visit family and deliver Christmas presents, hoping to be back for New Year's Eve.
"(We) hope we get there safe, have a safe travel and our luggage is with us," Benjamin said. "We haven't had a problem."
The travel ease is something Taylor Spurber has come to expect when flying out of SJC. Spurber moved to Silicon Valley from Denver last summer to live with her partner. She just returned from Denver after two weeks visiting family and friends.
"This airport is always so easy," Spurber told San Jose Spotlight. "I have flown from San Jose to Denver in the past year probably 14 times, and every time it's easy." | https://www.ktvu.com/news/holiday-travelers-say-san-jose-airport-is-a-breeze | 2024-01-01T04:55:21Z |
Strip shutdown begins to make way for NYE celebration — LIVE BLOG
December 31, 2023 - 5:07 pm
Updated December 31, 2023 - 8:53 pm
What’s going on in Las Vegas for New Year’s Eve? Follow our live blog below to check out the celebrations from the Strip to Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas.
‘Who’s ready?’
“What’s up Las Vegas!” Luke Bryan said as he took the stage at Resorts World Theatre.
He kicked off the concert with “That’s My Kind of Night” making his way across the stage high fiving outstretched hands from the front row.
“New Year’s Eve, who’s ready?” Bryan asked the cheering crowd.
As “One Margarita” started playing, Bryan emerged from stage right with a large beverage of the same name which he handed to a fan in the front row.
“Oh, it’s margarita time!” he said.
Bryan thanked the crowd for spending New Year’s Eve with him. The day is extra special for Bryan as it’s also his wife Caroline Boyer’s birthday.
Selfies on the Strip
The mood inside Resorts World Theatre remained upbeat and festive despite the delay in the start of country music singer Luke Bryan’s concert. Several people took selfies with the “Luke Bryan Vegas” screen in the background prior to the concert starting. An usher walked from section to section asking if anyone was celebrating their birthday. A handful of lucky fans stood and were serenaded by their fellow concertgoers with “Happy Birthday.”
-David Wilson, 8:13 p.m.
Role playing on Fremont
Mike and Jeremy “Five”, who declined to give their last names, are Seattle residents who met doing live action role playing as pirates about eight years ago. They became friends and for the last several years have come to Vegas for New Year’s, where they wear their pirate garb 24/7.
They dance to the DJ’s music at the end of Fremont Street by the Plaza with strangers and hand out gold shillings to passersby. They just like to make everybody smile, Five said.
He shared some words of wisdom for Las Vegans.
“Just because you’re drunk before 10, it doesn’t make you an alcoholic,” he said. “It makes you a pirate.”
-Jessica Hill, 8 p.m.
Strip barriers put in place near Venetian
Traffic is shut down and police are sliding barriers onto Las Vegas Boulevard in front of The Venetian and the Mirage.
– Sean Hemmersmeier, 7:55 p.m.
FSE revelry starting to pick up
There’s not a lot of dancing so far at any of the stages, but it’s picking up at the Main Street Stage.
Las Vegas residents Carmen Gonzalez and Jason Ervin were wearing colorful hats and necklaces.
It’s the second year they’ve celebrated at the Fremont Street Experience.
The entertainment is always good, Gonzalez said.
Also, “It feels a little bit safer than the Strip too because there are more police than on the Strip,” she said.
– Julie Wootton-Greener, 7: 50 p.m.
Strip closure begins
Road closures are beginning near the Tropicana Avenue pedestrian bridge on Las Vegas Bouldevard.
-Taylor Avery, 7:40 p.m.
Revelers make their way
7:20 p.m.
Hundreds of revelers make their way up and down the Strip’s sidewalks near Caesars Palace, some stopping to observe buskers working their art.
A soprano saxophone player performs along to a pre-recorded funk track while two other buskers around the corner are dressed like airborne white statues. One is playing a Caribbean jam on a harp. Observers take photos and applaud.
– Ricky Torres-Cortez, 7:30 p.m.
‘Get your picture and then keep moving’
Most pedestrian traffic along the Strip is moving pretty easily.
But people are stopping the pedestrian bridge between the Palazzo and the Wynn in order to get a photo with the Sphere in the background. Once a big crowd formed, a Metro police officer came by to get people to move.
‘I like it’
It’s Lydia Nguyen’s second time visiting Las Vegas during New Year’s Eve.
Nguyen posed in front of the Excalibur Hotel and Casino sign for a photo, the Strips’s flashing lights glinting off her red sequin dress.
Nguyen, from Orange County, California, said she was in town for a show at the Sphere. She liked the show, but said the seats weren’t comfortable.
She said she had visited Las Vegas for New Year’s Eve before, which had been “sort of scary.” This time, she said, she knows what to expect.
But it was her friend’s first time in Las Vegas. “I like it,” Nina Grouong said.
-Taylor Avery, 7:20 p.m.
“Get your picture and then keep moving, we need to keep this clear,” said the Metro officer.
Sean Hemmersmeier, 7:20 p.m.
Keeping vigilant watch
Las Vegas Boulevard and its surrounding roads are a parking lot for law enforcement vehicles with flashing sirens. A group of Nevada National Guard soldiers was spotted circled around Metro officers. As is customary at every year’s celebration, security appears tight as multiple law enforcement agencies work to keep an eye on the thousands of revelers.
Ricky Torres-Cortez, 7:15 p.m.
‘Just seeing the sights’
People began filing into the Resorts World Theatre as doors opened for the 8 p.m. Luke Bryan concert. Cowboy hats and boots replaced Happy New Year hats.
Eddie Lawrence and Deniece Plant both sported cowboy hats as they waited to enter the theater. This year is the couple’s first New Year’s Eve together, and they traveled from Southern California for their first Luke Bryan concert that was half a year in the planning.
What song was she was excited to hear? “I don’t know, everything,” Plant said
Lawrence, a self-described diehard Raiders fan, had never been to Las Vegas before and wanted to see Allegiant Stadium before leaving town.
“Having a great time,” Plant said. “We’ve just been walking around just seeing the sights.”
David Wilson, 7:05 p.m.
Sphere getting attention
A steady stream of people are strolling along Sands Avenue to Las Vegas Boulebard and are briefly stopping to get photos and videos of the Sphere.
Looks like the MSG Sphere is live tracking the 2024 timeline across the globe. #vegasNYE pic.twitter.com/d9QC0qkqD1

Thousands expected to fill Fremont Street Experience
About 25,000 to 30,000 people are expected tonight at the Fremont Street Experience, President and CEO Andrew Simon said.
“We get a lot of ticket sales at the last minute,” he said.
The entertainment lineup includes three genres of music — rock on the 3rd Street Stage, R&B and hip-hop on the 1st Street Stage, and EDM on the Main Street Stage. There’s also a silent disco.
He noted that the Fremont Street Experience has never really done EDM on New Year’s Eve before.
Simon said there’s “so much craziness in the world,” and the FSE wants people to have a good time.
Just before midnight, Oscar and Carolyn Goodman — who together mark 25 years as Las Vegas mayors — will take the stage, he said.
“We have a little something in store for them,” Simon said.
– Julie Wootton-Greener, 6:20 p.m.
‘Cheapest good time’
Loni Duran, from Moab, Utah, sports a backpack she got in Vegas around Thanksgiving, as her husband Jair West dances in the background. She is excited to party and enjoy all of the bands.
“The cheapest good time you can have is right here on Fremont Street,” she said, adding that she also feels safe on Fremont, where people must go through metal detectors to enter.
-Jessica Hill, 6:55 p.m.
Local party
Las Vegas resident Natasha Miller wore a shimmering blue dress as she took photos of her sister in front of the mini Sphere inside Resorts World.
“We’re just getting started,” Miller said.
After dinner at Resorts World, Miller said, they would see where the night leads them.
Miller said she comes to the Strip every year for New Year’s Eve and is most looking forward to the fireworks show but still hadn’t decided where they’d set up camp at midnight.
“I try not to make resolutions so just be a better me,” Miller said of the new year.
– David Wilson, 6:30 p.m.
Couple from L.A.
Dick Ochoa and Kelly Vilamar, residents of Los Angeles, are on Fremont to have fun and enjoy the party. It’s their first year celebrating New Year’s together.
-Jessica Hill, 6:35 p.m.
‘Hang out, drink and people watch’
There are a lot of people walking around the Linq Promenade, with lines to get into about every restaurant in the area as well as the zip line and the High Roller Ferris wheel.
Joy Mogilinski was walking in the Promenade and is visiting Las Vegas from Chicago for New Year’s Eve since her daughter got married earlier in the day in downtown Las Vegas because of the 12-31-23 wedding date. She said the ceremony and her trip to Las Vegas has been perfect so far.
Mogilinski doesn’t have big plans for the rest of the night but plans to stay out until midnight.
“I’m just going to hang out, drink and people watch,” Mogilinski said. “It’s the best thing to do in Vegas.”
– Sean Hemmersmeier, 6:08 p.m.
Celebrating tying the knot
Newlyweds Travis and Teresa Carmicheal from Redding, California, were waiting before the Fremont Street Experience opened. Just three hours earlier, they got married at Lucky Little Wedding Chapel.
The couple has been together for two years.
They were wearing souvenir hats. Teresa — who had changed out of her wedding dress into more casual attire — was wearing a white cowboy hat that read, “Bride.”
Travis said he went to the Fremont Street Experience for Halloween one year, and wanted to get married in Las Vegas and his now-wife agreed.
At the chapel, “we were surprised with some unexpected family members who came down,” Teresa said.
Four family members joined them for their special day.
The couple was hoping to make it to midnight and is heading to the Grand Canyon on Monday.
Julie Wootton-Greener, 5:45 p.m.
Partiers lining up for Fremont Street Experience celebration
A long line formed at the Fremont Street Experience’s Fourth Street entrance about 30 minutes before gates were scheduled to open for the “Time of Your Life” festival.
Sammy Jo Jones and Paul Bennett of Hot Springs, Arkansas, were among those waiting.
Jones was wearing a black shirt with a picture of her significant other and the phrase, “If lost, please return to Paul.”
She said it was her first trip to Las Vegas as an adult, noting she visited as a child and remembers that people could drive on Fremont Street.
Jones and Bennett became interested in the Sphere after seeing content on social media.
The trip to Las Vegas was their Christmas gift to each other. They arrived Friday and leave on Tuesday.
Bennett said about the Sphere: “It did not disappoint.”
They wanted to partake in festivities at the Fremont Street Experience. And it’s a departure from the usual.
“Honestly, our New Years Eves are spent at home,” Jones said.
– Julie Wootton-Greener, 5:35 p.m.
A bedazzled Happy New Year
A street vendor sold bedazzled Happy New Year apparel including light up “2024” glasses to passersby outside Resorts World on Las Vegas Boulevard, near Convention Center Drive. Foot traffic remained sparse outside the casino.
The line across the street at Tacos El Gordo stretched out of the restaurant onto the sidewalk.
– David Wilson, 5:29 p.m.
Welcome to Las Vegas
A woman in a white wedding dress with a bouquet of white roses poses with a man in a tux holding a Manila envelope under the shimmering lights of the Welcome to the Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
A line of approximately 50 people stand in line to take their photo with the sign, and a line of cars and a limo extended in a line onto Las Vegas Boulevard.
– Taylor Avery, 4:42 p.m.
Weather expected to be cold, windy for New Year’s Eve
Las Vegas expects a low of 43 degrees Sunday night with some slight winds. No rain or wind gusts are forecast for the holiday for the first time in three years, the National Weather Service said.
New Year’s Day is expected to be mostly sunny with a high of 61 degrees, the weather service said.
— Taylor Lane, 3:35 p.m.
Police quell public’s worry after early morning shooting near Strip
The Metropolitan Police Department said there was a shooting near the Strip early Sunday morning, but that a man was arrested in connection to the incident and there is no longer a threat to the public.
Police arrested 45-year-old Jon Letzkus around 10:40 a.m. Sunday and recovered a weapon from the incident.
Metro Deputy Chief Dori Koren said no one was injured during the shooting and that New Year’s Eve festivities would continue as planned.
“Leading up to tonight’s New Year’s events, I just want to reassure that, not only do we have very good plans for keeping the community safe as we’ve done year-in and year-out, but our officers are always prepared,” Koren said.

Native logging is banned in Western Australia from today — here's what it could mean for you
/ By Jacqueline Lynch and Kate ForresterA WA government ban on native logging comes into force today, preventing the state's native hardwood trees from being chopped down and sold commercially.
Typically, native WA hardwood like karri and jarrah has been used for flooring, furniture, firewood, and in garden products like mulch and sawdust.
Major WA mills have already closed and timber towns have been forced to explore other industries to keep locals in work.
But for West Australians outside these towns, what does the ban mean and how will it affect them?
Why is this happening?
The state government made the decision to end native logging in late 2021 to protect around 2 million hectares of forest.
Ms Jarvis said the goal was to "return our forests to the state they were in before European settlement".
"We couldn't keep logging the forest in the way we were when those trees just don't regenerate," she said.
"These are beautiful, 100-year-old trees, and we just cannot keep chopping them down at the rate we were."
The state government also hopes the move will boost the state's resilience to climate change, help protect Aboriginal heritage and open opportunities for tourism in certain areas.
Victoria is also banning native timber logging in state forests from today.
The two jurisdictions are the first Australian states to end native logging, but other states are watching on closely.
Will any native trees be chopped?
Yes.
The ban means native trees cannot be commercially harvested.
However, the state government's recently released forest management plan outlines two exemptions — clearing for approved mining or infrastructure projects, and removing trees to improve forest health, also known as ecological thinning.
The "ecological thinning" process involves removing individual trees to give surrounding vegetation a better chance of survival.
Will this impact my home build?
A lot of the structural supports used in building houses, including roof framing, is made from pine, which comes from plantations.
That will not be impacted.
Jarrah or karri floors and furniture will be harder to come by and likely more expensive.
The wood taken from native forests under the ban exemptions will stay in Western Australia and be divided up between those who need it.
But WA's Forestry Minister Jackie Jarvis is making no guarantees.
"We have a very small number of very bespoke furniture makers [in Western Australia] — it is certainly my hope that they will still have access to timber," she said.
"I can't guarantee that there will be jarrah floorboards for everyone across the state."
Will there be wood for my fire?
Firewood is often the by-product of premium timber logs.
Leading up to the ban, there was speculation that WA's forestry minister was concerned about a potential shortage of firewood.
However, Ms Jarvis, who has a log fire herself in her South West home, said there would be firewood available, but it would be mixed varieties.
"Because of the way we're doing ecological thinning … it might be some jarrah, it might be some karri, but it's certainly my expectation that firewood supplies will continue," she said.
What about mulch and sawdust?
Ahead of WA's ban on native logging, garden suppliers reported a shortage of woodchips and sawdust.
The landscaping industry will still have access to offcuts from the timber that is being processed.
The industry has also been looking into other products to help enrich soil, including garden waste and offcuts from plantation timber.
How much native timber will be available?
Ms Jarvis would not be drawn on how much native wood would be available going forward.
"I can't give you an exact figure or tonnage, because it will change year to year," she said.
"There will be a lot less timber available but it will be my focus on absolutely making sure that timber is available for Western Australians.
"The amount of timber that's been available to Western Australians won't change significantly. It's important to realise that most of our jarrah was being exported interstate and most of our karri was going overseas."
Are we ready?
According to the WA government, yes.
However, WA Forest Industries Federation chief executive Adele Farina said there were still unknowns.
"It has been a particularly difficult 12 months," she said.
"Now our sawmills are simply waiting for government to get through those initial implementation process stages and be in a position to be able to advise them.
"What supply, if any, can they expect to receive going forward?
"There's some level of anxiety remaining in the industry, while we await the information on the ecological thinning prescriptions, the harvesting plans and exactly what level of activity is going to be happening through 2024 going forward." | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-01/native-timber-logging-now-banned-in-western-australia/103267996 | 2024-01-01T04:55:21Z |
Missouri announces contract extension with head coach Eli Drinkwitz
Missouri and head coach Eli Drinkwitz have agreed on a contract extension. The announcement of the extension comes two days after the reigning Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year led his ninth-ranked team to a 14-3 win over No. 7 Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl.
However, this was an extension that was agreed upon much earlier than the announcement.
"Well before the Cotton Bowl, the opening of the transfer portal and the early signing period, the Board of Curators decided to reward Coach Drinkwitz with a raise and an extension,” 2024 UM Board of Curators Chair Robin Wenneker said. “The Board of Curators, alongside President Choi and Athletics Director Reed-Francois, are proud to support the future of Mizzou Athletics with this new contract. This contract puts Coach Drink where he belongs, in the upper echelon of SEC head coach salaries.
"To continue in championship style, keeping Coach Drink and his staff together was the number one priority for the Board of Curators and its administration. Under the leadership of Coach Drinkwitz and his staff, Mizzou Football continues to raise its standard of excellence on the field, in the classroom, throughout the community and on the recruiting trail."
After three straight .500 seasons to begin his Missouri tenure, Drinkwitz led the Tigers to their first 11-win season since 2014.
He also signed the 23rd recruiting class in the country earlier this month, headlined by Lee's Summit North EDGE Williams Nwaneri, the No. 3 overall prospect in the class.
The top-25 class marked was his third of that caliber in four years.
"My family and I want to thank the Board of Curators, President Mun Choi and Desireé Reed-Francois for their faith in me as the head coach," Drinkwitz said. "You can't do this alone, and our players, coaches and staff have worked tirelessly and believed in the process of building a championship program.
"The passion of our fan base, alumni and donors is awesome, and we are proud to represent them. We are extremely grateful for the resources they provide and the continued investment from our administration in Mizzou Football. All of it has allowed us to get to where we are. Why stop now!”
The extension also comes 10 days after the school agreed to contract extensions with offensive coordinator Kirby Moore and defensive coordinator Blake Baker.
Drinkwitz's original contract signed when he was hired in December 2019, was a six-year contract at $4 million per season. His last extension was set to take him through the 2027 season at Mizzou and this one will now take him through the 2028 season.
Financial terms of the extension were not released, but PowerMizzou.com has filed an open records request with the University.
"With Coach Drinkwitz’s innovative leadership, Mizzou Football has taken major steps to become a championship contender on college football’s national stage,” Reed-Francois said. “Coach Drinkwitz and his staff have done a tremendous job in this modern era of intercollegiate athletics. Continuity is important in implementing a championship culture, maximizing student-athlete potential and recruiting future Tigers.
"Our program is positioned to continue our momentum into the future. I want to thank our fans and our entire state for the powerful support they’ve shown our team during this magical season and cannot wait to see them back at Faurot in 2024.”
