Off-duty Greensboro officer shot, killed near High Point
Dec. 31—GREENSBORO — An off-duty Greensboro Police Department officer was shot and killed while intervening in a crime at a convenience store near High Point Saturday, and three people have been arrested, police said.
Sgt. Philip Dale Nix was shot about 4 p.m. outside the Sheetz on Sandy Ridge Road just north of Interstate 40 while approaching two men. Details weren't released on what Nix saw the men doing. He later died at an area hospital. Nix was a 23-year veteran of the department, Greensboro police reported.
Police initially issued an alert looking for a black Chevrolet Equinox that left the Sheetz going west on I-40 but canceled it a few hours later.
Greensboro police didn't release details of the arrests but said the Winston-Salem Police Department assisted in making them.
Jamere Justice Foster, 18, was charged with first-degree murder, larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny. He was being held with no bond allowed.
Two others were arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder: John Walter Morrison, 28, and Z'quriah Le'Pearce Blackwell, 18.
Morrison also is charged with conspiracy to commit larceny and was being held with no bond allowed.
Blackwell's bond was set at $500,000 secured.
Additional charges may be filed as the investigation continues, police said.
The High Point Police Department assisted with the response to the shooting, and the department issued a statement expressing sympathy to the officer, his family and the Greensboro Police Department.
Gov. Roy Cooper issued a statement saying that he mourned the loss of the officer and would offer any state resources needed.
Morrison has numerous previous felony convictions in Forsyth County for property crimes, including breaking and entering and larceny, since 2020, according to the N.C. Department of Adult Correction.
The other two have no adult convictions that appear in the department's online database.

24 zero board schools to be closed in Pune district
The number of schools with zero students in Pune district is increasing, with 24 schools set to be closed by the end of 2023.
PUNE: The number of schools with ‘zero’ students on board being closed in Pune district is increasing. At the end of 2023, 24 such zero board schools are being closed in the district and they include both private aided and self-financing schools under the Pune Zilla Parishad (ZP). The ZP education authorities have already given instructions to remove the names of zero board schools from the Unified District Information System for Education (U-DISE) portal.
As per the information shared by the Pune ZP education department, three of the ZP schools namely, Sanswadi Karandi Khurd, Pishvi and Karanwadi schools in the Velhe taluka have zero students on board. While 13 self-financed schools have been closed and according to the information received from the Pune ZP, there are zero students on board in these schools. While six other private aided schools and one private unaided school have been closed.
A few days ago, the education department had put out a list of 16 schools with zero students on board. The number of zero board schools on this list has now increased to 24. Some reputed educational institutes, too, are on this list. Meanwhile, schools have been entrusted with the task of uploading the students’ Aadhar numbers on the U-DISE portal. However, it is also being seen that the schools are unable to upload the Aadhar numbers of these students as some of the parents are not cooperating.
“Although some schools in the district appear to have zero enrolment, these schools will be inspected. If due to some reason at the principal or institutional level, the work of student registration remains, it will be completed. However, if it is actually zero enrolment, a proposal to close the concerned school will be sent to the state government,” said Kamalakant Mhatre, secondary education officer of the Pune ZP.

Sunday might have been the first look at next season's Denver Broncos offense.
It's not like they will have that many options in the offseason, if they do move on from Russell Wilson and eat an $85 million dead cap hit. The most likely solution for the Broncos is to stick it out with Jarrett Stidham for a season, and maybe draft a rookie. There won't be a lot of cap room to do much else.
Stidham wasn't too bad as he took over for Wilson at the end of a tumultuous week in Denver. He threw for 224 yards and didn't make any big mistakes in an ugly 16-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos were still eliminated from playoff contention due to other results in the AFC on Sunday.
The Broncos' spin that they pushed was that Wilson being benched for Stidham was just a football move, and that coach Sean Payton wanted to spark the offense. That's impossible to believe, but Stidham at least played well enough to get a win.
Broncos take a lead into halftime
The Broncos offense mostly struggled in the first half, aside from one play. Stidham was rolling right and it looked like he'd run for a first down, but he saw Lil'Jordan Humphrey crossing the field. He hit Humphrey on a short pass to about the 40 and then Humphrey did the rest, spinning and juking to avoid multiple Chargers defenders on the way to the end zone.

📱: Stream on #NFLPlus https://t.co/sFjqko01pD pic.twitter.com/2vDYUGM8bR
Stidham was 12 of 22 for 165 yards in the first half. It wasn't hard to see the difference in the Broncos' offensive approach with Stidham at quarterback. Wilson had fewer than 30 attempts in a game seven times this season. Payton wanted to play a ball control game with Wilson at quarterback.
With Stidham, things opened up a little bit. Perhaps that was to prove a point about the quarterback that was just benched.
Broncos hold lead into 4th quarter
In the second half, the Broncos' biggest play was a defensive pass interference. On fourth-and-1, Stidham threw to the end zone to heavily defended Jerry Jeudy. But Chargers safety Alohi Gilman was called for pass interference, keeping the drive alive and setting up the Broncos at the 1-yard line. A couple of penalties on the Broncos cost them a shot at the touchdown, but a field goal gave them a 10-point lead.
The Chargers missed a field goal after that, and their offense wasn't leading a comeback. Easton Stick, who has been forced into action due to Justin Herbert's season-ending injury, was not very good against the Broncos defense. The Chargers did cut the Broncos' lead to 16-9 late in the game and had a shot to recover a muffed onside kick, but Denver got on it and was able to run out the clock after that.
Denver's offense wasn't very good either, especially against a bad Chargers defense that allowed 63 points to the Las Vegas Raiders a couple weeks ago. Stidham finished with 224 yards, a touchdown and he didn't throw an interception. He wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly the shot in the arm the Broncos were saying they were looking for with the move. Stidham was just better than Stick, and that was good enough for the win to keep the Broncos' season alive.
The performance also won't give the Broncos a ton of confidence if they do have to settle for Stidham next season. That conversation can start now, since the Broncos' playoff hopes have been dashed.

KJ Simpson pours in 34 points, Colorado tops Washington State
KJ Simpson scored a career-high 34 points as short-handed Colorado held off a late rally to defeat Washington State 74-67 in a Pacific-12 Conference game Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colo.
J'Vonne Hadley added 12 points and Eddie Lampkin Jr. had 10 points and six rebounds for the Buffaloes (11-2, 2-0 Pac-12), who won their sixth game in a row and improved to 9-0 at home this season.
Andrej Jakimovski led WSU (9-4, 0-2) with 19 points and Isaac Jones and Oscar Cluff scored 16 apiece. Jones was 7-of-7 from the field and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds.
The Buffaloes played their second straight game without Tristan da Silva (ankle), who averages 15.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Fellow forward Cody Williams (14.0 ppg) missed his fifth straight game with a wrist injury and Bangot Dak (illness) and guard RJ Smith (leg) were also out.
After trailing by 12 points early in the second half, the Cougars cut the deficit to two on five occasions but each time Colorado responded, four times by Simpson.
Myles Rice got the Cougars within 65-64 on two free throws with 3:24 remaining.
But WSU's next four possessions ended with three turnovers and a blocked shot as the Buffaloes pulled away.
Colorado took a 10-point halftime lead as Simpson scored 14 points.
After Washington State scored the game's first basket, the Buffaloes went on a 9-0 run and never trailed again.
Colorado led by as many as 11 points in the half, before the Cougars rallied to pull within 29-25 on Jakimovski's 3-pointer following a turnover.
Simpson was fouled by Rice while attempting a 3-pointer and made all three free throws to spark a late run that restored the Buffaloes' lead to double digits. Harrison Carrington was fouled while making a layup with 1.7 seconds left and converted the free throw to make it 39-29 at the intermission.

Unpacking Beauty Trends and Celebrity Brands of 2023
In 2023, the beauty industry was again dominated by trends that were as delicious to the lips as they were to the eyes. With the rise of TikTok and Instagram aesthetics, we witnessed the emergence of innovative trends like ‘strawberry girl,’ ‘latte makeup,’ and ‘Barbiecore’ fashion, each garnering billions of views and shaping the beauty landscape.
Beauty Trends Inspired by Food and Beverage
The year was marked by beauty trends inspired by food and beverage. The ‘strawberry girl’ look, ‘cherry cola’ lips, and ‘glazed donut’ nails became the talk of the town, creating a sweet frenzy on social media platforms. The ‘latte makeup’ trend, with its caffeine-inspired hues, encapsulated the essence of a cozy morning cup and a glamorous evening out, gaining almost 500 million views on TikTok alone.
Hailey Bieber and the Rise of New Beauty Trends
Model Hailey Bieber was instrumental in popularizing these trends, adding her unique touch to the beauty world. The ‘passport makeup’ and beauty looks inspired by characters from the series ‘Euphoria’ were among the most adored, contributing to the 2.6 billion views generated by the hashtag ‘Euphoriamakeup.’
A Look at Celebrity Beauty Brands
Amidst these trends, celebrity beauty brands like Fenty Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, Rare Beauty, about-face, and Ariana Grande’s r.e.m. beauty continued to make waves. Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bombs, Cream Blushes, and new eyeshadow sticks were standout items, particularly the Match Stix Color Adaptive Cheek & Lip Stick and Glitty Lid Shimmer Liquid Eyeliners, which were recommended for statement makeup. The brand’s stick foundation also gained recognition for its texture-smoothing ability.
Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatments, especially the limited edition Jelly Bean flavor, were appreciated for their moisturizing effects and Y2K aesthetic. r.e.m. beauty’s Sweetener Foundation, with its light coverage and natural finish, and the holiday Holiglitch collection, received high praise. Kylie Jenner’s new concealer, Power Plush Concealer, and Kylash Volume Mascara, recognisable for its non-clumpy formula, were significant hits in the beauty world.

Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz receives contract extension
Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz had his contract extended through the 2028 season with an increase in salary on Sunday, following a stellar season that was capped by a 14-3 victory over Ohio State in Friday night's Cotton Bowl.
Financial figures weren't disclosed but school officials indicated Drinkwitz's raise will put him among the top coaching salaries in the Southeastern Conference. Drinkwitz guided the No. 9 Tigers to an 11-2 record and was named SEC Coach of the Year.
The 11-win season was the first for Missouri since 2014. Missouri went 6-2 in SEC play this season.
In November 2022, Drinkwitz had his contract extended through 2027 and his annual salary was increased from $4 million to $6 million.
"This contract puts Coach Drink where he belongs, in the upper echelon of SEC head coach salaries," Robin Wenneker, Missouri's board of curators chair, said in the news release. "To continue in championship style, keeping Coach Drink and his staff together was the No. 1 priority for the Board of Curators and its administration."
Drinkwitz is 28-21 in four seasons at Missouri. This season marks his first winning campaign.
"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," Drinkwitz said in the news release. "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."
Missouri previously extended the contracts of defensive coordinator Blake Baker and offensive coordinator Kirby Moore.

LAS VEGAS — Shecky Greene, a legendary stand-up comedian who was a headliner on the Las Vegas nightclub scene and worked with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, died Sunday. He was 97.
Greene died at his home in Las Vegas, his daughter, Alison Greene, told The New York Times. His wife, Marie Musso Greene, also confirmed the comedian’s death to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The comic was a frequent guest on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” But his real strength was in his high-energy, frenetic comedy routine that played well in Vegas, according to the newspaper.
Shecky Greene, Legendary Las Vegas Standup Comedian Who Worked With Sinatra and Elvis, Dies at 97 https://t.co/hA7FP8WwEg
— Variety (@Variety) December 31, 2023
Greene worked as an opening act for Sinatra and for Presley in Las Vegas, Variety reported. He was a guest on “The Tonight Show” more than 60 times and sat in for Carson several times as a guest host, according to the entertainment news website.
He was also a guest host on “The Mike Douglas Show” and “The Merv Griffin Show” and appeared on “The Dean Martin Show” and “The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,” Variety reported.
Greene also was a favorite on the game show circuit, appearing on “Tattletales,” “Hollywood Squares” and “Match Game,” according to Variety.
In Las Vegas, Greene used his ad-libbing talents, made faces, sang and did impressions, doing just about anything for a laugh, the Times reported.
“I wasn’t an A-B-C-D comic. ‘Hello, ladies and gentlemen’ and then the next line,” Greene told comedy historian Kliph Nesteroff in 2011, according to the newspaper.
Fred Sheldon Greenfield was born on April 8, 1926, in Chicago and legally changed his name to Shecky Greene in 2004, long after his career had ended, the Times reported.
The comic, who lived in Las Vegas since the 1950s, made his last ticketed performances at the South Point Showroom in 2011, the Review-Journal reported. But he would still do shortened versions of his act in places like the Italian American Club and the Omelet House, according to the newspaper.
A versatile performer, Greene also appeared on television series like “Combat!” according to Variety. He also had guest roles on “Love, American Style,” “The Love Boat,” “Fantasy Island,” “Laverne & Shirley,” “The Fall Guy,” “The A-Team,” “Trapper John, MD,” “Roseanne” and “Mad About You.”
On the big screen, Greene appeared in “Splash,” Mel Brooks’ “History of the World: Part I” and “Tony Rome.”
Greene was just as unpredictable off stage, with bouts of drinking and gambling, the Times reported.
“I should have been fired maybe 150 times in Las Vegas,” Greene told the Las Vegas Sun in 1996. “I was only fired 130 times.”
Greene also drove his car into the fountain in front of Caesars Palace in 1968, according to the Times.
Presley appeared with Greene at the New Frontier hotel-casino in early 1956, the Journal-Review reported.
“Before then, it was all country and western. We had horses in the middle of the street,” Greene said in a 2021 Review-Journal story. “But when (Elvis) came in, it had started to be a dressy crowd and everything.”
Elvis and Greene eventually switched spots in the lineup, with Presley becoming the opening act.
Reflecting on his career to The Washington Times in 2017, he wondered “Why did I do this and that?”
“At 90 I still don’t know. Once in a while I’ll have a nice sleep,” he said. “Most nights I wake up yelling, ‘Why did I do that?’
“Life is strange, but if you’ve had a mixture of a life like I had, it’s all right.”

Affordable Luxury: 50 Best Wines Under $50 in a Year of Inflation
A journey through the vineyards of 21 countries, totalling 3,243 wines tasted. The quest? To identify the year’s 50 best wines under $50. The craft of wine tasting, ordinarily seen as a pursuit of the affluent, is subtly shifting as an expert wine taster has painstakingly assembled a catalogue of affordable yet high-quality wines. The mission was driven by the need to combat the economic implications of a year fraught with inflation. The list cuts across various wine types, from the full-bodied reds to the crisp whites, the delicate rosés, and the effervescent sparklers.
Unveiling New Labels and Celebrating Familiar Brands
The expert’s intention was twofold. First, to introduce wine enthusiasts to new labels that have managed to strike a balance between quality and affordability. Next, to applaud familiar brands that have weathered the storm of economic pressures, maintaining their quality and price. The latter offers reassurance to wine lovers that their favourite bottles can still be enjoyed without straining their budgets.
Champagnes Under $50: A Feat Achieved
Among the challenges faced in the compilation was the daunting task of finding Champagnes under $50. Yet, the expert succeeded, ensuring that the joyous pop of a Champagne bottle remains accessible even in these testing times.
A Guiding Light for Budget-Conscious Wine Lovers
The culmination of this endeavour is a guide for those seeking to savour fine wines without the associated hefty price tags. One standout example is the Durant & Booth Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, a classic, full-bodied, bourbon-barrel-aged Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Priced at $37.95, this wine’s generous black currant, dark cherry, and toasty oak spice flavours, coupled with a smoky finish, stand testament to the fact that quality and affordability can indeed coexist in the world of wines. This list serves as an affirmation that, despite economic pressures, the pleasure of enjoying a fine wine need not be a luxury reserved for the affluent.

Contractor booked for death of worker due to electrocution
Director of Arya TransCare booked for worker's death while changing electricity DP at Wadgaon Budruk. Firm did not provide safety gear.
The Sinhagad Road police have booked the director of Arya TransCare for the death of a worker while changing electricity distribution panel (DP) at Wadgaon Budruk.
The deceased has been identified as Sagar Shantappa Pujari (26) of Dabadi Wasti in Wadgaon Budruk.
As per the complaint filed by police inspector Swapnil Lohar, the incident took place on December 8. The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) had appointed the firm for electricity related works and workers were deployed to check and replace electricity DP near Shivaji Maharaj Statue at Wadgaon Budruk
According to the police, while checking the power supply, Pujari came in contact with DP and died due to electric shock. Other workers, including Gaddepa Appasaheb Gurav and Sagar Premnath Shinde, were severely injured in the incident.
Deepak Kadbane, assistant inspector, said, “Our probe found that the firm had not taken requisite safety measures. In fact, the workers were not provided safety gear materials for handling electrical wirings.”
The Sinhagad Road police filed a case on Saturday under Sections 304(a) (causing death by negligence) and 337(causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Police: Don’t celebrate the new year with gunfire
WHITEHALL, Ohio (WCMH) — It’s the last day of 2023 and police are gearing up for a busy night.
Whitehall Police will have a presence all over the city trying to crack down on celebratory gunfire.
What’s open and closed in Ohio on New Year’s Day?
From ShotSpotter to 911 calls and an increased police presence, Whitehall police are sending a strong message: “Don’t celebrate the turn of the year by firing off your gun.”
Usually, Whitehall’s police department doesn’t advertise its crime blitzes, but on this holiday, the department is making it known officers will be out in full force.
The city’s ShotSpotter system, which can pinpoint within about five to 10 feet of where a shot came from, will also be helping the division find those firing their weapons.
Celebratory gunfire is an issue the city has been trying to crack down on for a while. Police said the department receives a lot of calls where people wake up in the morning with their cars, homes and roofs struck by bullets.
Central Ohio restaurants that closed in 2023
“That’s what people don’t realize, you know, the old adage what goes up must come down and it’s going to come down and potentially it could kill somebody,” Whitehall Police Sgt. Jon Earl said. “You know, there’s been instances around the country where people have been killed by this. So, you know, it’s just not the way to celebrate is our big message to put out.”
The division said celebratory gunfire can put many people on edge, especially with fireworks and gunfire sounding very similar, so if you hear something, don’t hesitate to call in.
Whitehall police said that last year, officers made 10 arrests connected to celebratory gunfire.

A 39-year-old Hawaii man died after suffering a shark bite at Maui’s Paia Bay on Saturday, authorities said.
According to a news release from Maui County officials, police responded to the area at approximately 11:19 a.m. local time.
The victim, whose name has not yet been released, was transported by jet ski to the shore, where first responders performed life-saving measures, the release stated.
The man was taken to Maui Memorial Hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead, KITV reported. It was unclear whether the victim was surfing alone or was with other people when he was attacked.
Authorities closed Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park after the attack and warning signs were posted, according to the television station.
Authorities said that warning signs would be taken down if no other incidents were reported on Sunday, KHON-TV reported.
According to the state’s Department of Land and Natural Resources database, Saturday’s attack was the only fatal shark attack during 2023, CBS News reported. There have been at least seven more incidents involving sharks in Hawaii over the past 12 months, the agency said.
“The preliminary investigation reveals no signs of foul play,” Maui County officials said in their news release. They added that an autopsy was scheduled.
It was unclear what species of shark attacked the surfer.
An investigation is ongoing.

American Countess Cruise: Nostalgic Journey Through America’s Heartland Awaits Travelers
Stepping onboard the American Countess, passengers are instantly transported back in time. The classic riverboat, with its twin red paddlewheels and Victorian gingerbread trim, is a reminder of the peak transportation era when the Mississippi River was the western frontier of the United States. The newest addition to the American Queen Voyages fleet, the American Countess, offers a unique, nostalgic journey through America’s heartland on a nine-day bourbon-themed cruise along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
A Voyage Back in Time
The journey starts from Louisville, Kentucky, after passengers enjoy a complimentary pre-cruise night at The Brown Hotel. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2023, The Brown Hotel is known for the iconic hot brown sandwich, a culinary delight that sets the tone for the gastronomic experiences to come. From Louisville, the cruise traces the path of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, visiting small Kentucky cities, Mark Twain’s favored town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and making a stop near the iconic Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis.
From Casino Boat to Boutique Hotel
Originally a casino boat named Kanesville Queen, the American Countess underwent a top-to-bottom renovation that added 60 feet in length and transformed it into a passenger vessel with no gaming tables. Today, it resembles a boutique hotel, offering intimate spaces and a leisurely pace. With 123 passenger cabins, the focus is on the small towns, the stunning scenery, and the camaraderie among passengers.
Beyond the Cruise
Upon boarding, passengers are welcomed with a cocktail and encouraged to explore the boat’s amenities. These include a spacious lounge, a main salon, a theatre, and a dining room. The cruise offers an opportunity to delve deep into Southern charm and hospitality, with additional excursions available such as Churchill Downs and the Castle and Key Distillery.

Dr Ajay Tawre reinstated as Medical Superintendent of Sassoon General Hospital
The decision to reinstate Dr Ajay Tawre as hospital superintendent has come in the midst of controversies around the escape of drug kingpin Lalit Patil
After six appointments in the past one-and-a-half year, Dr Ajay Tawre, head of forensic medicine and former medical superintendent of Sassoon General Hospital (SGH), was reappointed as hospital superintendent on Friday. Following alleged malpractice during a kidney transplant procedure, the director of medical education and research (DMER) in April 2022 had temporarily suspended the regional organ transplant authorisation committee and instructed Dr Tawre to step down from his post.
On Friday, Dr Vinayak Kale, dean of B J Medical College (BJMC) and SGH, issued orders directing Dr Tawre, head of the forensic department at BJMC and SGH, to immediately take charge as medical superintendent from Dr Kirankumar Jadhav. Dr Kirankumar Jadhav was appointed medical superintendent in September 2023. “The appointment order of Dr Kirankumar Jadhav as medical superintendent of SGH issued on September 5, 2023 is cancelled,” said the dean in his order.
Dr Tawre had served as medical superintendent of SGH for over eight years before he was removed in April last year. Dr Vijay Jadhav, who was then the deputy superintendent of SGH, was appointed medical superintendent in place of Dr Tawre. Three months later, Dr Vijay Jadhav was replaced by Dr Bharati Daswani in July 2022. Dr Daswani served as medical superintendent for eight months and in March 2023, Dr Vijay Jadhav was again appointed as the medical superintendent of SGH.
Before Dr Vijay Jadhav could complete three months, Dr Yellapa Jadhav was appointed as the new medical superintendent in May 2023. Dr Yellapa Jadhav was asked to step down from the post within three months and Dr Sunil Bhamre was appointed as medical superintendent on August 10, 2023. Dr Bhamre served as medical superintendent for less than one month and was replaced by Dr Kirankumar Jadhav.
The decision to reinstate Dr Ajay Tawre as hospital superintendent has come in the midst of controversies around the escape of drug kingpin Lalit Patil, an undertrial accused of supplying banned substances and being part of a drug racket who escaped from SGH on October 2. Subsequently, Dr Sanjeev Thakur was removed from the post of dean of BJMC and SGH. Dr Pravin Deokate, head of the orthopaedic department at BJMC was suspended and later arrested on December 4 in the same incident. However, frequent transfers of officials have made it difficult to manage the hospital administration efficiently.
Dr Tawre said that the SGH is a magnet for controversy and that the image of the hospital has been badly affected. “I will work to the best of my ability to make sure we regain the image by providing quality care and treatment to the needy,” he said.

Report: Poverty persists despite investments in income support programs
Dec. 31—Despite investing billions of dollars in income support programs such as food stamps and Medicaid, New Mexico hasn't moved the needle on poverty rates, consistently ranking among the poorest states in the nation.
A recent report by the Legislative Finance Committee found New Mexico spent more than $10.1 billion of state and federal funds in fiscal year 2023 on programs to subsidize low wages and support people who were unemployed, a $2.6 billion increase over fiscal year 2019.
"Over the same time, poverty levels have remained stubbornly high with poverty rates staying around 18%," the report states. "In 2022, New Mexico had the highest poverty rate in the nation at 17.6%."
LFC program evaluator Sarah Dinces told lawmakers earlier this month income support programs, including Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, provide "immediate benefit" to people in or near poverty.
"However, while our state has a generous benefits package, these large investments have not correlated with decreases in the state's overall poverty rates," she said.
The LFC report resulted in a pointed discussion among lawmakers about whether the state is keeping poor people "shackled in generational poverty."
After the presentation, House Minority Leader Ryan Lane, R-Aztec, referenced The Millionaire Next Door, a research-based book about wealth in America.
"In that book, they studied a large group of first generational millionaires," he said. "By the third generation, almost all of that wealth had dissipated, and what they discovered is those folks who became first generational millionaires, they didn't want their children to struggle like they struggled, so they made life very easy for their children."
But part of what had made them successful in the first place was the struggle itself, Lane said.
"I don't have a problem with social safety nets to an extent — I know that sounds crazy coming from a Republican — but what I find troubling is there doesn't appear to be any connection between the social safety net itself and making certain that there's workplace and educational requirements built into those systems," he said.
"If we as a state are providing taxpayer dollars to these impoverished families and the results are showing that they remain impoverished, I think that's where we need to have a gut check about what we're doing," he added.
Rep. Rod Montoya, R-Farmington, said it's his experience all Republicans support what he called a true safety net for people in need or unable to provide for themselves.
"But when it comes to able-bodied people ... it's a moral issue as to whether or not we stop people from being able to support themselves," he said. "What we're stopping people from is from self-determination."
Montoya and other lawmakers cited the so-called cliff effect, which occurs when an increase in income pushes a household past the eligibility cap for food assistance, child care aid and other public benefits, as an inhibitor.
"For folks who have not been employers, you don't run into this, but ... how many people come to work that are afraid to work too many hours because they will lose all of their benefits?" Montoya said.
In a 2018 report, New Mexico Voices for Children described the cliff effect as one step forward, two steps back.
"The cliff effect occurs when an increase in income is enough to disqualify a family from receiving a work support but is not enough to cover the cost of the lost benefit," the report states. "The cliff effect leaves many breadwinners having to make the terrible choice between accepting a pay raise and keeping a critical work support, such as child care assistance for their children. In some instances, they choose to decline the raise."
Sen. George Muñoz, a Gallup Democrat who chairs the Legislative Finance Committee, said lawmakers — and state agencies — need to figure out a solution.
The Human Services Department "is also part of that problem because they keep raising the amount [to qualify for a program], and so as people are more wealthy, they're still able to get benefits," he said. "... So there's less for those people that really need it."
The LFC report recommends all income support programs have "off-ramps" by increasing copays as income increases.
"The state can also connect those on income support programs to higher education because increasing degree attainment is highly correlated with increased wages," the report states.
Lane said he's lived in low-income housing and has been on food stamps and Medicaid but didn't receive any guidance on how to break the cycle of poverty.
"When we were at that point in life, we received zero training in terms of how to get off them, how to move and improve your life," he said.
"Those are things that we had to figure out on our own, but not everybody has the ability to do that," Lane continued. "As both appropriators and then generally as legislators, I think we have a moral duty to make sure what we're doing is not keeping people shackled in generational poverty even though we may have the best of intentions."
Dinces said poverty rates are most affected by labor force participation, wages and educational attainment. New Mexico's labor participation rate is persistently lower than the nation's, likely driving the state's poverty rate, she said.
"Most individuals receiving income supports work but likely not full time and likely not for wages that meet the rise in cost of living," she said.
Sen. Bill Sharer, R-Farmington, said he was concerned about "support versus employment."
At a recent meeting in Farmington with the Department of Workforce Solutions and about 30 employers, "we were told there's about 2,000 jobs in San Juan County ... and about 1,800 people that just don't want to work," he said.
Sharer said low wages in some industries disincentivize people from seeking employment.
"If you're only going to earn a couple of hundred dollars a year more by working versus not working, why have a boss tell you want to do for $300 bucks," he said. "That's an issue."
He added, "Do people need support? Absolutely," he said. "I'm not saying that we shouldn't help people that need help. We need to help them also by getting them to help themselves.
"It goes back to the old saying, 'Are you going to give someone a fish or are you going to train them to fish?' I think what we're doing is giving them fish. They don't know how to do anything else."

Notre Dame All-American S Xavier Watts returning for 2024 season
Notre Dame unanimous All-American safety Xavier Watts has elected to return to the Fighting Irish for the 2024 season.
Watts simply said "run it back" on his various social media sites while pitching the video of his announcement. The video was filmed in a Western outdoor setting in El Paso, site of the Sun Bowl, and Watts dug up a gold bar out of the ground that said, "XAVIER WATTS returns in 2024."
Notre Dame finished its season with a 40-8 shellacking of Oregon State at the Sun Bowl in El Paso on Friday.
Watts won the Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation's top defensive player among a slew of honors.
Watts led the nation with seven interceptions. He added 52 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He scored a touchdown on the fumble return during a 48-20 win over Southern California on Oct. 14.
Watts was a receiver when he arrived at Notre Dame and he played in two games in 2020 and redshirted. He moved to defense during the 2021 season when the Fighting Irish were dealing with injuries in the secondary and he has been a fixture at safety the past two seasons.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to step down from throne on Jan. 14
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year’s speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to “thoughts about the future” and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. “I have decided that now is the right time,” she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a “heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom.”
Margrethe is the “epitome of Denmark” Frederiksen’s statement read, and “throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation.”
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch’s role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women’s air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe’s oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen’s announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year’s speech which reflected on the “turbulence and upheaval in the world” amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation’s people for “the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark.”
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
“In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple,” he said in his statement. “We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task.”

Woman REFUSES to pay for her sister's dream wedding dress after snide comment at the dinner table
- A woman questioned if she's wrong for refusing to pay for her sister's dress
- The graphic designer took to Reddit to share that her sister disrespected her job
- People on the web slammed the younger sister calling her job a 'hobby'
A woman has questioned if she is in the wrong for refusing to pay for her sister's wedding dress after she took a jab at her job.
The 28-year-old graphic designer took to Reddit to question if she should put her foot down by holding onto her credit card after her 25-year-old sister referred to her job as a 'hobby.'
She explained that while she had agreed to paying for her sibling's dream wedding gown, she no longer wanted to due to the 'disrespectful' comment about her career.
Taking to the Am I the A**hole subreddit, the graphic designer asked people on the web for advice - adding that she feels 'torn' because she wants to 'support' her sibling but is hurt by the comment.
A woman has questioned if she is in the wrong for refusing to pay for her sister's wedding dress after she took a jab at her job
She wrote: 'I (28F) am a self-taught graphic designer and have worked hard to build my career. My sister (25F), on the other hand, has always been critical of my job, calling it a "hobby" and not a "real job."
'Our parents passed away a few years ago, and I’ve been more of a parental figure to her since then. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I’ve always tried to support her.'
She explained that her sister recently got engaged and was extremely excited to begin wedding planning.
However, when she found her dream wedding dress was out of her budget, she asked her older sister for help.
'Knowing I’ve saved a bit, she asked if I could pay for it as her wedding gift. I agreed because I wanted her to be happy,' she explained.
However, just days after agreeing to hand over her credit card to make her sister happy, she questioned if she made the right decision.
While at a family dinner, the younger sister made a snarky comment about her older sister's job as a graphic designer.
The 28-year-old recalled: 'However, a few days ago, we had a family gathering where she introduced her fiancé to our extended family.'

'During the dinner, she made a snide remark about my career, implying that I was still "playing with my computer" while others had real jobs,' the graphic designer explained.
She was immediately hurt and confronted her baby sister about it. However, the conversation quickly turned into an argument.
The graphic designer said: 'Things escalated, and I told her that if she didn’t respect my career, she shouldn’t expect me to fund her wedding dress with the money I earned from it.
'She accused me of ruining her wedding and being petty.'
At the end of her post, she said: 'I’m torn. I want to support her, but I also feel disrespected.'
Then, she questioned if she was an 'a**hole' for no longer wanting to pay for the dress.
People flooded the comments section and ran to the defense of the graphic designer as they branded her younger sister 'greedy.'
One person said: 'Not the a**hole. It would be a lovely gesture to pay for her dress, but it's not your responsibility. It would be the type of generous gesture reserved for people who treat you with respect.
People flooded the comments section and ran to the defense of the graphic designer as they branded her younger sister 'greedy'
'I would probably ask your sister something along the lines of, "Do you really want your wedding dress paid for with the money from my illegitimate career? It would be a permanent emotional stain on your dress, and I wouldn't want you to regret that down the line." She's not cool with what you do but wants the money you make doing it. I think she'd do well to live within her her means and not to bite the hand that feeds her.
'ETA: She ruined her own wedding, and you had nothing to do with it. First by thinking a dress can ruin a wedding (celebrating a union with her life partner who she loves should be the focus), and Second by the aforementioned snobbery/greed.'
Someone else added: 'She could be jealous and insecure that OP has a well-off career and her life together. '
'Yeah, too immature to get married,' another commented.
One user added: 'Lol no, why are you even torn on this? Imagine for a moment that you're entitled enough to ask someone to fund an expensive frivolity you can't afford in one breath, and then insult the means by which they would fund it in the next? No, a wedding dress isn't frivolous, but an unaffordable one is. What kind of message would you be sending if you paid for something after she treated you like that? Have some self-respect and tell her if she wants a dress, she can go play on her own computer for money. No apology will even be genuine at this point.
'Not the a**hole, obviously.'
A fourth person commented: 'Yeah. Never bite the hand that feeds you.'
'Not the a**hole. She's trying to belittle you so she can feel like a better, more successful sister. She knows your job is "real" and you make good money - if not, how can you pay for a dress she can't buy? And yet she insults you... I think she's jealous because you have a job that you really like. OP, you don't owe her anything,' one commenter wrote.

Burger King Unveils Modernized Logo in Major Rebrand
In a remarkable turn of events, Burger King has revealed its first comprehensive rebrand in over twenty years. The move is seen as a significant pivot in the company’s branding strategy in an attempt to remain competitive against leading fast-food industry players such as McDonald’s and Wendy’s.
Burger King’s Modernized Image
Branding experts and reporters have analyzed the new logo, indicating Burger King’s concerted effort to modernize its image and win back market share. The redesigned logo is expected to convey a more contemporary, fresh feel, aligning with the current consumer preferences and industry trends.
The Strategic Significance of the Rebrand
However, this rebrand is not a mere superficial change. It represents a broader strategy by Burger King to rejuvenate its brand and appeal to a new generation of customers. The overhaul of the visual identity is predicted to influence customer perception and enhance the overall brand experience.
Rebranding as a Competitive Edge
A branding expert’s insights into the logo’s meaning underscore the importance of aligning visual elements with strategic business goals in a highly competitive market. The new branding is a well-calculated move to distinguish Burger King from its rivals and signal its commitment to evolving with changing consumer tastes and expectations.
In a surprising departure from their usual appetizing ads, Burger King has also launched a new ad campaign featuring a rotting Whopper covered in mold. The ad aligns with their pledge to offer healthier options by eliminating artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives from their food. The campaign has elicited mixed reactions on social media, with some lauding the courageous move, while others criticize the fear-based marketing approach.

Engg students demand to postpone exam on Jan 1 considering road closures
The police have already announced traffic diversions to curb the congestion in the area in the wake of grand-scale celebrations held on Ahmednagar Highway near Perne Phata.
Students of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) affiliated Engineering Colleges on Ahmednagar Road have asked the authorities to defer the exam scheduled for January 1, 2024.
On Monday, January 1, the SPPU has scheduled the examination for second-year engineering students in two sessions. However, considering the huge crowds that attend the Koregaon Bhima anniversary celebrations, students claim that it would be tricky for them to make their way to the examination centres, considering the road closures and diversions enacted by traffic police.
“I am staying near Wagholi and my engineering examination is on Monday at one of the nearby engineering colleges on Ahmednagar Road. As the entire road leading towards Ahmednagar will be blocked on Monday, it would be nearly impossible for me to reach the college to appear for the exam. So, the exam should be cancelled and taken at a later date,” said Mandar Jadhav, a second-year engineering student.
The police have already announced traffic diversions to curb the congestion in the area in the wake of grand-scale celebrations held on Ahmednagar Highway near Perne Phata.
Prof Keshav Mhatre from an engineering college in Ahmednagar district said, “There are two examination slots on January 1, for second-year engineering students which is between 10 am to 12.30 pm and 2 pm to 5 pm. For the colleges that are on Ahmednagar Road, it would be impossible to hold the examination due to this event, considering road barricading and diversions. Accordingly, we have demanded the university to postpone Monday’s exam paper.”
Talking about the issue, one of the senior officials from the SPPU admin department on condition of anonymity said, “We are trying to postpone the exam, but no official announcement has been made yet. If some students miss the exam due to traffic-related issues on Ahmednagar Road, we will consider their inconvenience and will reconduct their exams.”

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, according to police.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is suspected of killing her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son and attempting to kill her 11-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs.
On Dec. 19, police said they responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at an apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. and found the the bodies of the two deceased children.
Officers also located Singler and her 11-year-old daughter at the scene. They were both injured and taken to hospitals for treatment, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin.
Singler’s injuries were minor. The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days and then released. She is recovering well physically in Colorado Springs. Cronin said he could not release details about how the children or Singler were injured.
Police said the initial report of a burglary was unfounded.
Singler was initially cooperative with police investigating the homicides and alleged burglary. She went missing after the probe, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
“In the initial stages of the investigation, we were treating her as a victim of a burglary,” Cronin told the Associated Press.
On Dec. 26, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler on multiple charges, including multiple counts of first degree murder, child abuse and assault.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings. Court hearings had been scheduled for next month.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Residents raise alarm over terrible odors at LA County’s two largest landfills: ‘[We] were getting sick inside our house’
Conditions at Los Angeles County’s two largest landfills have become more steamy and smelly than normal, according to residents in surrounding communities.
A chemical reaction at Chiquita Canyon has created a smoldering heap. Twelve miles to the southeast, heavy rains have flooded the Sylmar landfill in Sunshine Canyon, causing seepage and bacteria growth, all per substantial reporting from the Los Angeles Times.
What’s happening?
Garbage has been overheating for months at Chiquita Canyon, where dump temperatures have hit greater than 200 degrees Fahrenheit, causing complaints about foul odors, according to the Times.
However, the landfill operators said there aren’t any flames and noted tests found that “no adverse health effects are anticipated across the community.”
“The source of any odors … is due to an abnormal biotic or abiotic process (also known as a landfill reaction),” the landfill notes on its website. “This reaction is not the result of a fire … [and] unusual seepage was a result of the production of excess gas and liquids caused by the reaction.”
Regardless, the sour smell emanating from the site is face-puckering in quality, per residents interviewed by the Times.
“The odors were so bad that my wife and I were getting sick inside our house — with the doors and windows closed,” Val Verde resident Steven Howse said in the story.
To the southeast, Sunshine Canyon has reportedly experienced water saturation, complicated by the tropical storm that had been Hurricane Hilary in August, causing bacteria-fueled bad smells and fears of even worse contamination.
As a result, thousands of odor complaints have been logged, along with “dozens of environmental penalties.” There are even calls to close the dumps, all according to the story from the Times.
Why is it important?
Data collector Statista estimates that the United States generates nearly 300 million tons of municipal solid waste each year. What’s more, landfills are the third-highest creator of planet-warming methane in the country, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports.
In L.A. County, Chiquita and Sunshine each take in more than 2 million tons of trash annually. Now, a portion of the trash is exposed at the latter site, smoldering at the former location, and unusually smelly at both. Further, heat at Chiquita is hurting some of the facility’s infrastructure and its ability to “collect toxic pollutants,” all per the Times.
“When there are high temperatures in the landfill gas, that can melt or deform some of the landfill gas collection system components,” Angela Shibata, senior air quality engineering manager with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, told the newspaper.
What’s being done to help?
Chiquita Canyon’s district manager Steve Cassulo told the Times that officials take the problem “seriously” and are working on a steel-made system to burn off excess gas, which won’t melt. Unfortunately, the news agency reports that the problem is expected to last “for months.”
At Sunshine Canyon, crews are bringing in dirt to cover the trash, and a landfill spokesperson told the Times that the operator has installed a better drainage system.
The L.A. trash tale is a prime example of why it’s important that we better use our old stuff, reducing the amount of waste we produce. There are more recycling opportunities for a greater number of products, from footwear to electronics.
Breakthroughs, like trash-eating enzymes, could help us to lower the height of our garbage heaps in the future, as well.

Fog continues on the plains overnight with sunshine and warmer air Monday
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Fog will remain an issue for many on the South Dakota plains overnight. There is a Dense Fog Advisory in place until 8 a.m. for much of northwest South Dakota. With temperatures below freezing, slippery spots may form on roadways. Be sure to use your low beams and slow down while out driving. Headlights are very important with reduced visibility.
Fog will linger into the middle of the day on the plains, but many others will have mostly sunny skies. It will be warmer on Monday to start off the new year, as highs will be in the 40s for many. Some spots may flirt with 50°! Mild air sticks with us for one more day on Tuesday as highs will be in the 40s for many.
Temperatures will return closer to average Wednesday and continue through the end of the week with many in the 30s.
We are expecting a pattern change by the upcoming weekend and the following week. Much cooler air looks to be likely with high temperatures falling below average for all of western South Dakota and northeast Wyoming. Highs will be in the teens and 20s with low temperatures in the single digits at times.
Above normal moisture is in the forecast for us locally. For now, the storm pattern does look to remain south of us, into Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. We will monitor any chances this week and keep you updated as needed. While the track is to our south, some light and fluffy snow is possible Sunday to Tuesday, seven to nine days from now.
Confidence is higher in the cooler air than the moisture. Be sure to check back for the latest on both through the week. Have a happy and safe New Year!

Secret to beating temptation if you're doing Dry January? It's what you EAT... As revealed in a new book on banishing booze - by top nutritionist Dr BROOKE SCHELLER
- Nutrition doctor Brooke Scheller explains how to eat to change how you drink
- READ MORE: Try these tipples for a buzz with no hangover
Tired? Hungover, even? I hope not, but if you are, you’ll likely be motivated even more to make this the month you re-set your relationship with booze.
Yes, it’s dry January, and what better time to take stock of habits you might have drifted into and then change them for the better?
A 31-day alcohol-free challenge can provide a lot of insight. It allows time for your body to re-balance and your brain to gain clarity. But it can be hard, too. Temptation is all around us, and usual routines, such as wine o’clock, can be difficult to shift.
Yet I’ve helped hundreds of clients completely turn around their lives by reshaping their relationship with alcohol. They’ve lost hundreds of pounds, gained new vigour, energy and a general sense of wellness, and eliminated medication for high blood pressure and heartburn.
And I’ve done it by focusing on something we always overlook when we’re embarking on a month without booze — the role played by food.
Brooke Scheller (pictured) is a doctor of nutrition who has helped hundreds of clients completely turn around their lives by reshaping their relationship with alcohol - all by focusing on the role played by food
I’m a doctor of nutrition who found sobriety in June 2021 and specialises in changing behaviour around alcohol by focusing on diet.
For the truth is, while it may never have occurred to you before, the way you eat has a direct effect on the way you drink. When, how often and why we reach for a glass of wine — these are all questions that food can answer.
So read on to discover how to eat to change how you drink...
YOUR FIRST STEP...
Before we get down to details, take a moment to answer these questions. They’re all about focusing your mind. Today, the first of the New Year, is the perfect day to do this — then look back at your answers throughout the month for added motivation.
1. How does alcohol make you feel, physically? How does your body react when you drink — both short term and long term? You might note, for example, that even after one or two drinks, you wake up the next day feeling groggy and unmotivated.
2. How does alcohol make you feel emotionally and mentally? Do you get ‘hangxiety’ — the anxiety associated with a hangover that makes you want to stay under the bedclothes for the day? For many, the idea of eliminating this feeling is a big motivation for dry January.
3. How does alcohol affect your goals, whether they’re career-oriented, fitness or for your general well-being, to be a better partner, and so on? Does alcohol prevent you from waking up early to hit the gym or taking a walk before starting your day? Are you trying to stick to a diet but keep having late-night snacks?
4. What are your goals? Write them all down! Do you want to quit your job and start a business? Write a book? Run a marathon? Gain more emotional stability? Next to each goal, write down if alcohol helps or hinders it, and why.
Dr Scheller has shown that the way you eat has a direct effect on the way you drink. When, how often and why we reach for a glass of wine — these are all questions that food can answer
HOW TO BEAT WINE O’CLOCK
By the time 5pm or 6pm rolls around, perhaps after a stressful day at work, or as we begin the second shift with laundry or prep for dinner, many of us are ready to pop open a bottle and pour ourselves a glass. But are we really craving alcohol... or food?
When I ask clients who are usually slaves to wine o’clock what they’ve eaten during the day, they might list a protein bar and a sugar-laden coffee for breakfast, and then something small for lunch, like a salad or sandwich.
By the early evening, their blood sugar has bottomed out.
Not only are they exhausted and stressed by their day, they’re hungry. But because their habitual choice is to open a bottle of wine, they don’t even recognise the hunger signals. Instead, what they think they want is a drink.
The fact is, alcoholic drinks may trigger changes in blood sugar, which in turn often makes us feel energised and elated. However, shortly after, that first drink begins to metabolise through our body and blood sugar then drops.
If you’ve ever experienced low blood sugar, it can feel like being ‘hangry’ and irritable, and often gives us cravings for foods and drinks that quickly raise our blood sugar to a normal level.
It’s a vicious circle, and it can set us up for poor eating habits as well — late-night pizza and midnight ice cream — which, in turn, is the perfect recipe for bad sleep, followed by low energy and imbalanced blood sugar the next day (hence the cravings for indulgent foods during a hangover). Help!
She suggests eating beetroot - or having it in a smoothie - four or five times a week, specifically at breakfast. It’s great for boosting the flow of oxygen to the brain to start your morning
Dry January is the perfect time to re-set and get back to healthier patterns, eating the right foods at the right time. Here are some tips on meal timing for supporting an alcohol-free diet.
- Eat every three to four hours. For you, this might look like four or five small meals throughout the day, or three larger meals and one or two snacks. Avoid going for long stretches of time between eating; this will cause a drop in your blood sugar and increase cravings for alcohol and/or sugar.
- Have breakfast within an hour of waking up. Eating right away jump-starts your morning and helps contribute to more regular blood-sugar patterns throughout the day. Eat protein and a source of fibre-rich carbs, such as avocado on toast, vegetable frittata or a fruit-topped granola.
- Aim to finish eating at least three hours before bedtime. Regulating your blood sugar before going to sleep supports your sleep hormones and eliminates waking up due to blood sugar drops overnight.
- Always have an afternoon snack between 3pm and 5pm.
When trying to go a month without booze, the hours after work and before dinner often test willpower the most. Get ahead of this by scheduling an afternoon snack every day; it’s key to kicking that ‘happy hour’ habit.
If you address hunger first, you’ll likely notice the craving will subside. See below for my recipe for banana protein balls, which make the perfect snack.
Dr Scheller recommends protein balls (recipe below) as a healthy snack to help keep cravings at bay
DON’T GIVE UP PUDDING!
Blood sugar takes a dip when we cut out our usual glass of evening wine, but so, too, does dopamine, a ‘feel-good’ hormone released in our brain when we indulge in something pleasurable.
Lower-than-usual levels of dopamine have implications for our sugar consumption, too, because now we need to get that hit from somewhere else. But blood sugar also plays a critical role here, too. Which is why increasing protein and strategic meal timing can help with sugar cravings, too.
It’s why giving up alcohol often leads to a sudden desire for cake, chocolate, ice cream or anything else indulgent and sweet.
Indeed, many people are shocked to find that while they have cravings for alcohol when they cut back, the sugar cravings are actually more extreme and difficult to manage.
You may be wondering if you need to go the whole hog and completely cut sugar out as well. You’re already making a sacrifice — why not double-down?
But that’s not my advice. Eliminating sugar only increases feelings of deprivation and makes it more difficult to stick to our alcohol-free goals. What I do suggest is the strategic use of sugar.
What it means in practice is pairing sweets or carbs with protein. Protein stabilises blood sugar spikes because it takes longer to break down and digest, which blunts the absorption of the sugary food, too.
You might have a sweet treat just after having a protein-rich meal or snack — a pudding, essentially — or to combine them in one. Chocolate protein powder smoothies is a good way to do it.
EAT BEETROOT FOR BREAKFAST
Beetroot (pictured) doesn't just support and detoxify the liver, it also aids digestion, balances hormones and even cuts brain fog
Beetroot is a superstar when it comes to supporting and detoxifying the liver after a season of over-indulgence. But it also aids digestion, balances hormones and even cuts brain fog.
I suggest eating beetroot four or five times a week, specifically at breakfast. It’s great for boosting the flow of oxygen to the brain to start your morning. Try beetroot hummus on toast or a bowl of borscht — yes, even at breakfast — or put it in a smoothie.
. . . AND DANDELIONS FOR DINNER
Dandelions are another fabulous liver food that also help regulate digestion. Buy them online at organic food outlets, or grow your own. Use like rocket and combine with feta, sliced Medjool dates, chopped roasted pistachios and an olive oil, Dijon mustard and honey dressing for a gorgeous bitter-sweet salad.
What else for a restorative dry January? Cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts (if you can still look them in the eye) and kale support the liver’s natural detoxification pathways.
These foods contain sulphur compounds that help produce glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. I suggest consuming at least 80g of these veggies per day.
Finally, the spices turmeric and ginger help improve the liver’s waste removal pathways, again support digestion, and reduce inflammation in the body.
Beetroot is equally great for boosting the flow of oxygen to the brain to start your morning. Try beetroot hummus on toast (recipe below) for breakfast
RE-BALANCE YOUR GUT HEALTH
Are you a social drinker, the kind who has a glass with friends and is immediately off to the races, downing two or three more? Or perhaps a stress drinker, who uses alcohol as a crutch after a bad day or a difficult phone call?
Both kinds of drinker very likely have imbalances in their microbiome, that collection of good bacteria we all carry around in our gut. Regular use of alcohol affects the lining of the stomach, intestinal function and leads to malabsorption of nutrients, too. Use this month for re-balancing.
Consume prebiotic fibre — food for all that good bacteria to feast on — by eating apples, artichokes, asparagus, bananas, sweet potatoes, leeks, onion, garlic and oats.
But don’t forget probiotic-rich foods, which contain the healthy bacteria themselves. Fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled vegetables, and fermented dairy products (yogurt and kefir) all contain probiotics.
The quick and easy dry January route is to reach for a supplement. A good-quality broad-spectrum probiotic can help minimise specific colonies of bacteria that increase our craving for alcohol and sugar.
. . . AND DON’T BE A HERMIT!
Everyone’s social life might be dialled down now, but that doesn’t mean you want to be a hermit. So how do you resist temptation?
How To Eat To Change How You Drink, by Dr Brooke Scheller (Hodder & Stoughton, £16.99)
Make sure to eat before you attend a social gathering or event that includes alcohol to avoid that low blood sugar trap that makes you more vulnerable to having a drink. Or perhaps suggest meeting a friend for a walk outdoors instead of dinner at a restaurant.
If a regular glass of wine while cooking dinner was your thing, find simple, low-stress solutions for food. Consider a meal delivery programme occasionally, or order shopping online to avoid passing that glittering aisle of supermarket booze.
It may take seven to ten days before you begin to feel more clear-headed and experience more balanced energy and mood. But those benefits will come — and even greater ones, like improved blood pressure and hormone balance, await in the weeks that follow.
Good luck on your new path to wellness!

Disney Fanatic Shay Spence Highlights Worst Foods at Disney World on TikTok
Florida-based content creator, Shay Spence, known for his love of all things Disney, recently took to TikTok to share his experiences of the most disappointing foods he encountered during his seven visits to Disney World throughout the year. His video, candid and brimming with personal observations, resonated with many, garnering over 880,700 views and 72,400 likes.
Casey’s Corner and the Controversial Chicago Dog
The first on Shay’s list was the Chicago dog from Casey’s Corner. He expressed his disappointment with the hotdog, particularly taking issue with the topping of Pico de Gallo, which he deemed inappropriate. He also felt the dish missed the mark by neglecting the inclusion of traditional little peppers. Chicagoans among his viewers took offense, generating a flurry of comments about the misrepresented Chicago dog.
Dry Pancakes and Ravioli Missteps
Continuing his culinary journey, Shay critiqued the buttermilk pancakes from Trattoria al Forno. Despite their visually appealing presentation, he found them dry and lacking in flavor. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the ravioli cacio e pepe from Il Mulino, criticizing the unnecessary addition of cherry tomatoes. However, he suggested other pastas, like the gnocchi bolognese, as worthy alternatives.
From Cosmic Ray’s to Homecomin’
At Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café in the Magic Kingdom, Spence tried the spicy fried chicken sandwich. Although he found the flavor decent, he was let down by the overcooked, dry chicken patty. He instead recommended Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ at Disney Springs for a superior fried chicken on a biscuit experience.
Narcoossee’s ‘Gloopy Mess’
Shay’s encounter with the loaded mashed potatoes with glazed pork belly at Narcoossee’s was far from positive. Describing them as overly sweet and a ‘gloopy mess,’ he suggested viewers steer clear of this dish. Despite this, he still praised Narcoossee’s as a favorite spot for seafood, cocktails, and watching the fireworks.
Shay concluded his video with the iconic Mickey pretzel. As a familiar figure to his followers, he chose to leave his feelings about it unsaid, a known sentiment among his loyal audience.
Shay’s video stirred mixed reactions. While some viewers thanked him for his objective reviews and food suggestions, others defended Disney World’s culinary choices. Nevertheless, many appreciated his attempt to balance criticism with positive recommendations, valuing his insights as they plan their own Disney food adventures.

(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic.
In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers.
How a Lease Buyout Works
If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership.
Residual Value in Today’s Market
Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value.
Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car
Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle.
And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract.
Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider
There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price.
Additional fees include:
- Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in.
- State sales tax

You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer.
Other Things to Consider
Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it.
Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease.
Bottom Line
Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

Stanford's 3-point barrage overpowers No. 4 Arizona 100-82
Freshman Kanaan Carlyle scored a career-high 28 points and Spencer Jones added 21 as they led Stanford's historic 3-point barrage in a stunning 100-82 wire-to-wire victory over No. 4 Arizona on Sunday in Stanford, Calif.
The Cardinal (6-6, 1-1 Pac-12) made 16 of 25 attempts (64 percent) from behind the arc, including Carlyle's heave from near halfcourt with 2.6 seconds left to set the school record for most 3-pointers in a game.
Caleb Love scored 23 for Arizona (10-3, 1-1), but his aggressive second-half drives to the basket couldn't offset Stanford's long-range shooting. The Wildcats, meanwhile, made only 7 of 26 3-point attempts.
Carlyle, who made his season debut Dec. 17 and was playing in just his fourth game, hit 6 of 8 3-point shots, grabbed eight rebounds and connected on all eight attempts from the free-throw line. Jones was 5 of 6 from 3-point range and made 8 of 9 shots overall.
Oumar Ballo had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Wildcats, but his double-double streak ended at three games.
Andrej Stojakovic scored 16 for the Cardinal. Maxime Raynaud had 12 points, while Jared Bynum had 11 assists to go with nine points.
Stanford led 44-35 at halftime and expanded its lead by making its first five 3-point shots of the second half. The Cardinal took its biggest lead at 77-57 with 9:46 to go before Arizona responded with a 7-0 run, eventually getting within 80-69 with about seven minutes left.
That was as close as the Wildcats got, as back-to-back layups from Brandon Angel helped Stanford keep Arizona at bay.
The Cardinal shot 58.1 percent (36 of 62) from the field.
Stanford took charge from the opening tip, taking a 7-0 lead and keeping the advantage with its hot outside shooting, including a four-point play from Carlyle with 5:23 to go for a 29-21 lead.
The Cardinal made 7 of 12 3-pointers before halftime and took its biggest lead of the half at 43-28 after a James Keefe dunk at the 2:32 mark, but the Wildcats ended on a 7-1 run to go into the break down 44-35.

EXCLUSIVEWorld champion cyclist Rohan Dennis' haunting Instagram post just days before he allegedly hit and killed his Olympian wife Melissa Hoskins with his ute on their quiet Adelaide street
- Olympian Melissa Dennis died on Saturday
- Champion cyclist husband charged over death
- Chilling Instagram posts days before death
- READ MORE: Cyclist charged after mother-of-two dies
World champion cyclist Rohan Dennis shared a family photo in front of a Christmas tree days before he allegedly ran down his Olympian wife in his ute.
Dennis, 33, was seen smiling ear-to-ear in the photo as he posed with his wife Melissa Hoskins, 32, and their two children in front of the adorned tree.
'Merry Christmas from our family to yours' the couple and their kids are smiling, each with a protective hand on the child in front of them,' he wrote on Instagram.
Just four days later police allege Dennis struck his wife Melissa with his black ute on a street in the inner northern Adelaide suburb of Medindie at 8pm on Saturday.
Melissa was taken from the scene in an ambulance with serious injuries but died in hospital, with police then arresting and charging Dennis with causing the death of his wife.
Several social media posts have since resurfaced of Dennis gloating about his wife and their two children.
Posted on Instagram just four days before police allege Rohan Dennis (right) struck Melissa Dennis (left) with his black ute, the Olympic cyclist wrote 'Merry Christmas from our family to yours'
Dennis posted this photo of his children sitting in his ute parked in Adelaide a year ago, saying how lucky he was and 'sometimes I don't appreciate everything I've got'
Just two weeks ago, Dennis posted an image of himself and his wife laughing in a car on the way to a wedding.
'I finally did it, I finally made @melissmdennis lose the plot #lifegoalachieved,' the caption read.
When a friend replied 'it was only a matter of time', Dennis responded with laughing emojis: 'She was much harder to crack than I thought'.
Dennis was granted bail on the weekend after he was charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life.
The couple were both Olympic-level cyclists, with Dennis taking home a silver medal in 2012 and a bronze in 2020 while his wife missed out on a medal in 2012 by just 0.18 seconds.
The couple married in 2018 and have a five-year-old son and a younger daughter.
The fatal collision happened on a leafy tree-lined street in one of Adelaide's wealthiest suburbs where the Dennis family is believed to own a house.
Neighbours reported seeing a black ute being towed from the street and police were filmed standing around a crime scene with a pile of clothing in the road.
Just a year ago, Dennis posted a photo of his two children sitting in the back of a black ute.
'Some times I don’t appreciate everything I’ve already got. Then I see photos like this,' the caption read.
Some social media users complimented him on his car, saying 'nice pickup'.
Another said: 'You’re doing it right brother, we all miss what’s right in front of us sometimes, but then you pull your head out of your a** and realise “I’m one lucky man” and life gets even better'.
Rohan Dennis posted this alongside the selfie of the smiling couple going to a wedding on December 15
Two weeks before she died, Melissa Dennis took this selfie of the couple laughing in a car on their way to a wedding, with Rohan joking that it had taken an effort to crack his wife up

Both the couple's Instagram pages show a young family travelling overseas, drinking wine with friends and enjoying time together, with Ms Dennis writing as her bio, 'Wife and Mum. Lover of family, food, travel and wine'.
In the same month, Dennis posted a photo of the couple enjoying wine and cheese at a vineyard with the words, 'the future is looking pretty bright'.
The family had spent the last few years dividing their time between Adelaide and Spain, where Rohan competed professionally with different European teams until announcing his retirement last year.
Six weeks ago he posted an image of himself in the pool with his two children at a hotel in Dubai, writing 'some much needed decompression here #rollercoasterofemotions'.
A week later the couple posed in front of a pyramid in Egypt, with Rohan posting 'Massive bucket list moment, definitely did not disappoint!'

More recent photos show him relaxing with his young daughter in his living room with the Christmas tree, and outside with a barbecue in his neatly hedged back yard.
Medindie is known for its 'old money' real estate with colonial era houses on large plots of land, and has a median house price of $3million.
In her career as a cyclist, Melissa Hoskins was a member of Australia's track cycling pursuit team which finished fourth at the London Olympics, and won gold at the 2015 World Championship, breaking the event's world record.
The same year Rohan set a record for the longest distance travelled in an hour and started the Tour de France in pole position after winning the stage one individual time trial, although he finished out of the top 100.
He was awarded the Sir Hubert Opperman medal and trophy for Australia's best all-round cyclist for 2015.
Rohan Dennis will face court in Adelaide on March 13.

Emerging Wine Regions: Redrawing the Global Wine Map
As the world grapples with climate change, its impacts are palpably felt in the wine industry, prompting enthusiasts to explore beyond traditional strongholds like Bordeaux and Burgundy. Emerging wine regions across the globe are stepping into the limelight, offering tantalizing alternatives to the classic wine territories. These nascent regions, spanning from the UK to Eastern Europe to the far reaches of Canada, are not only reshaping the global wine map but also redefining wine style and quality.
Global Shifts: From Old World to New Territories
Climate change is pushing the boundaries of viticulture, taking it to cooler and less-known corners of the earth. Countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, and parts of northern Europe are demonstrating promising potential in quality wine production. The UK, in particular, is making significant strides in sparkling wine, with Sussex and Kent’s chalky soils creating conditions reminiscent of the Champagne region.
Rising Stars: Eastern Europe and Asia
Eastern Europe, an area often overlooked, is now drawing attention with countries like Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Croatia showcasing wines that express their unique terroir. Further East, China’s Hebei Province and India are nurturing their burgeoning wine scenes. China, in particular, is on the brink of defining bold, new styles that could soon captivate wine lovers globally.
California: The Epicenter of American Wine
Within the United States, California continues to be a magnet for winemakers. Areas like Paso Robles, Sonoma, Lodi, San Benito, and Mendocino are attracting attention for their climates and steadfast commitment to sustainable practices. Lesser-known grapes such as White Riesling and Valdiguié are also undergoing a renaissance, thanks to the region’s innovative winemakers.
Lebanon and Chile: Testament of Resilience and Innovation
Further afield, Chile is gaining recognition for its value and premiumization efforts, with a focus on terroir and modern winemaking techniques. Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, despite its tumultuous history, is producing wines with unique terroir and indigenous grapes, blending ancient methods with sustainable practices. This is a testament to human endurance and the power of innovation in the face of adversity.
The wine industry is experiencing a shift towards new regions, sustainability, natural wines, and a deeper appreciation for the history and culture embedded in winemaking. The global wine map is being redrawn, and the journey promises to be an exciting one.

Maha-Metro plans new station at Tilaknagar
Following demands from residents, Maha-Metro has decided to build a new station on PCMC to Nigdi extended route
Pune: Following demands from residents, the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) has decided to build a new station on the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Nigdi extended route. The addition of Tilaknagar will take the total stations on the stretch to four.
Atul Gadgil, director (works), Maha-Metro said, “We have floated a tender for new station.”
Tenders floated for four stations
The detailed project report (DPR) prepared by Maha-Metro and approved by the municipal corporation and the state government initially proposed three stations — Chinchwad Station Chowk, Khandoba Mal Chowk in Akurdi, and Bhakti-Shakti Group Shilp Chowk in Nigdi. The Centre okayed the extended route on October 23, 2023, allocating a budget of ₹910.18 crore. Subsequently, Maha-Metro released a tender for the viaduct on December 16, 2023, specifying four stations, including Tilak Chowk in Nigdi, instead of the initially planned three.
Stations in PCMC areas touch 10
The distance between Bhakti-Shakti Group Shilp Chowk and Khandoba Mal in Akurdi, measuring 2 kilometre, necessitated authorities the need for a station at Tilak Chowk. The addition will eliminate the need for citizens to rely on rickshaws, buses, or private vehicles to access the metro station.
The additional stations will bring the total number in Pimpri-Chinchwad to 10, including PCMC, Sant Tukaramnagar, Nashik Phata, Kasarwadi, Phugewadi, and Dapodi. The project is expected to be completed in 130 weeks.

State Police urging people to not drink and drive on NYE
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — As people across Western New York get ready to ring in the New Year, New York State Police are urging people not to get behind the wheel impaired.
“Don’t put other people and other families at risk on the roadway. The last thing we need is another tragedy here in WNY and it’s something that could be completely avoided just by a good decision,” said New York state trooper James O’Callaghan.
Trooper O’Callaghan said every December state police pull over and arrest hundreds of people who are driving impaired.
“It’s very dangerous for people to get behind the wheel impaired at all. When we’re talking about alcohol .08 is very low, it’s only one or two drinks a lot of people might feel fine, but by law, they’re impaired,” O’Callaghan said.
Between the Buffalo Bills home game and New Year’s Eve celebrations, there are going to be a lot of people on the roads.
“Buffalo is very unique, very different area than the rest of the state. We have the Bills game, we have the ball drop downtown, which is a very popular event then we have every little party,” O’Callaghan said. “We have to prioritize in categories. How safe are the roads? We’re going to be pushing extra patrols out there.”
State police are setting up checkpoints across the region to ensure people are following the law.
“We’re coming out of Christmas, we’re joining into the New Year and New York state police will be joined by other local law enforcement agencies, looking for intoxicated or impaired drivers,” O’Callaghan said. “That’s a big issue and we want to keep the roads as safe as possible.”
If you plan on drinking, or doing anything else that could impair your driving, O’Callaghan is urging people to seek other ways home besides getting behind the wheel.
“There’s so many other options. Whether it be ride sharing, designated driver, or maybe you live close to wherever you’re coming from but if alcohol and marijuana are part of your festivities tonight do not drive or get behind the wheel,” O’Callaghan said.

Tolu Smith returns as Mississippi State tackles Bethune-Cookman
Tolu Smith nearly had a double-double in his return to game action, scoring 16 points and pulling down nine rebounds, and Dashawn Davis added 12 points as Mississippi State put a bow on 2023 with an 85-62 victory over Bethune-Cookman Sunday in Starkville, Miss.
Josh Hubbard hit three 3-pointers on his way to 11 points while Shakeel Moore scored 10 for the Bulldogs (11-2), who won their fifth in a row.
Jakobi Heady scored 16 points, Dhashon Dyson finished with 14 points and Derrick Carter-Hollinger chipped in 12 for the Wildcats (5-8), who will enter the new year on a four-game losing streak.
Smith shot 5-for-5 from the field and 6-for-7 at the foul line in his season debut. The preseason All-American suffered a foot injury during the offseason and came off the bench Sunday.
Mississippi State shook off an early 3-pointer by the Wildcats with a 14-1 run that saw the Bulldogs push their lead to double digits.
Shawn Jones Jr. and Davis hit back-to-back 3-pointers during the stretch before Smith knocked down a jumper for a 14-4 advantage with 14:28 to play.
Bethune-Cookman did itself no favors during the run as it went five minutes without a field goal before the drought ended on a dunk by Heady with 13:33 to play in the half, trimming the Wildcats' deficit to 14-6.
Despite the tough start, Bethune-Cookman hung around and was within 25-18 with 6:03 to play, forcing four turnovers and holding the Bulldogs to no field goals over a stretch of three-plus minutes.
That all changed when Hubbard scored his first points of the day, drilling a 3-pointer that pushed Mississippi State in front 29-18 with 5:21 left. He was one of five Bulldogs to connect from the outside in the first 20 minutes of action.
Mississippi State closed the half on a 9-0 run to take a 41-22 lead into halftime, holding the Wildcats scoreless over the final three minutes and 49 seconds while forcing them to go 0-for-7 from the floor.
Dyson scored six points early in the first two minutes of the second half in an effort to help the Wildcats close the gap, but Moore hit a 3-pointer and then scored off a layup with 17:23 remaining to give the Bulldogs a 49-28 lead, their biggest at that point in the game.

Heartbroken NYC woman who had the WRONG embryos implanted and was forced to give twin boys to biological California parents settles lawsuit with fertility clinic after harrowing mishap
- Korean-American couple from Queens were expecting twin girls but came out of the delivery room with two Caucasian boys from two other couples
- Six weeks later she was forced to hand over both boys to their natural mothers, one of whom had also been implanted with another woman's child
- The birth couple, identified in court as YZ and AP, have settled with LA's Cha Fertility Clinic as the boys approach their fourth birthday
A first-time mom who carried twin babies to term before being forced to give them up has settled with the fertility clinic which 'unimaginably' implanted her with embryos from two other women.
The Korean-American couple from New York City only discovered the appalling mix-up in the delivery room when the twin girls they had been told to expect turned out to be Caucasian boys.
The couple named in court papers as YZ and AP had struggled for years to conceive before spending $100,000 at the Cha Fertility Clinic in Southern California.
But just six weeks after becoming parents a court ordered them to hand over the babies they had so looked forward to.
And it left them with 'permanent emotional injuries from which they will not recover', their lawsuit claimed.
Anni Manukyan and her husband Ashot whose embryo was wrongly implanted in the New York woman at the same time as Anni was implanted with the embryo from a third woman
AP had told the court 'I kiss his little feet every day, I give him a bath, I breast fed him' as she desperately tried to retain custody of the baby she had given birth to
Cha Fertility Clinic co-owners Joshua Berger (left) and Simon Hong (right)
'They may never know what happened to their embryos, as well as whether the currently cryopreserved embryos are genetically matched to them,' it added.
Custody of one of the boys was awarded to its genetic mother Anni Manukyan and her husband Ashot who also sued the clinic.
Anni and the other boy's genetic mother had all been at the clinic on the same day in August 2018 when AP was implanted with their embryos, and Anni herself was mistakenly implanted with the embryo of a fourth couple.
That pregnancy failed and the couple were completely unaware they had become parents until they received a call from the clinic asking them to take a DNA test in March 2019.
AP meanwhile had been told to ignore scan results suggesting the girls she was expecting were in fact boys with clinic co-owner Joshua Berger telling her his wife had seen the same anomaly while pregnant.
Anni spoke of her heartbreak and the trauma of fighting the boy's birth mother in court after winning custody of the little boy she named Alec.
'They came in and they were crying, and I saw them crying and I started bawling,' she recalled.
'My husband was trying to hold me. Even the security guard was crying.'
AP was told to ignore scans indicating that she was carrying boys, rather than the girls she was expecting
AP had written to the court: 'I kiss his little feet every day. I give him a bath. I breast fed him.
'We're their true parents and we're the ones who want to be with him. We love them, they're ours and they're twins, they shouldn't be separated.
'They snuggle with each other, they sleep with each other every night. How could you separate them?.'
Anni claimed that she broke down as the judge gave his verdict, saying: 'DNA is DNA and genetics play a big role in everything, so the baby belongs with Anni and Ashot.'
As they waited for the handover a psychiatrist informed the Manukyans that they should hand over their pillowcases so their son could become accustomed to their smell, and recordings of Anni reading.
'My voice was shuddering while I was doing it,' Anni said.
'It was just heart shattering. Me and my husband, we wondered what if the pillows we slept on, what if the scent wasn't enough? We were hugging the pillowcases just to make sure.'
Eventually the day came for the handover baby Alec in her lobby of a New York hotel.
'They were saying 'we're sorry, we're so sorry', Anni said.
'We should have let you guys come and take him before, it's just that we love them. We wanted to take care of them as they were our own. We love them'.
'There was no tension in the room whatsoever. It felt like we were friends… It was just love, because we all have love of the same child.'
When the couple handed over the baby in May, they also handed over a series of gifts for the Manukyans', including gold bracelets, one celebrating the Year of the Pig and another with a crown; and a ring emblazoned with tiny baby shoes.
'I would like you to give this to him, to know it's from me,' AP told Anni.
A week after giving Anni and Ashot their baby, AP and YZ relinquished Alec's 'twin' to his biological family.
AP and YZ won a $200,000 settlement against clinic co-owner Joshua Berger in October and have now settled for an undisclosed sum against the clinic.
In their lawsuit they admitted they 'could not find the courage and the way to tell others about their devastating loss'.
Anni who settled her case against the clinic in 2019 said she prays every day for the woman who gave birth to her son.
'She carried my child for nine months, she fed him, she took care of him, she changed his diapers. It could have ended up differently.
'I pray for her every day, she was a victim of this as much as I am.
'She's a lovely lady. She raised my baby inside of her and after he was born.'
Baby Alec soon after his arrival at his new home in Los Angeles, California
The little boy is now growing up with his genetic parents after a judge ruled that 'DNA is DNA'
Attorney Adam Wolf, who represented the Manukyans said: 'This incredible series of events demonstrates CHA's shocking incompetence.
'While I have handled hundreds of cases of fertility-center misconduct, this tragedy at CHA is among the most egregious I have seen.
'Anni and Ashot put all their faith and trust in CHA. In return, CHA gave Anni and Ashot lies, excuses and heartbreak.
'It's fair to assume there are far more fertility clinic tragedies that happen than we know.'

Ohio woman Brittany Watts, 33, speaks out after she was charged with felony abuse of a corpse following miscarriage
- Watts suffered a miscarriage in the bathroom of her home in September
- When she went to the hospital, a nurse called 911, claiming the woman said she didn't want the baby and put it in a bucket outside
- Police later found the fetus in the toilet. The 33-year-old has been charged with gross abuse of a corpse, a fifth-degree felony
An Ohio woman faces felony charges related to the abuse of a corpse after she suffered a miscarriage at home and attempted to flush the fetus down the toilet.
Brittany Watts, 33, miscarried in the bathroom of her Warren home during the third week of September. It was her first pregnancy.
Earlier that week, she was admitted twice to Mercy Health St. Joseph Warren Hospital when she experienced agonizing cramps and bleeding.
However, she left both times after waiting hours to see a doctor.
‘I was distraught, heartbroken, empty - literally and figuratively,’ Watts told WCMH-TV. She did not tell anyone in her family about the pregnancy.
Brittany Watts, 33, was charged with gross abuse of a corpse after she suffered a miscarriage at her home in Warren, Ohio
After attempting to flush the fetus down the toilet, Watts was taken to the hospital, where a nurse called 911, claiming Watts said she did not want the baby
Watts was just over 22 weeks pregnant when she miscarried. It was her first pregnancy
Following the miscarriage, which she suffered at just over 22 weeks pregnant, Watts flushed the toilet.
When the toilet overflowed, she used a bucket to clean up. As she did not want anyone to know about the pregnancy, Watts then went to the salon for a hair appointment.
But the hairdresser was concerned and called her mother. Watts was taken to the hospital, where a nurse phoned 911.
According to transcripts, the nurse told a dispatcher that Watts was sent to the hospital earlier that week with bleeding and left ‘against medical advice.’
‘She came back in on Wednesday still bleeding and said, “Maybe I do need to be seen.” So we readmitted her and we were talking her through everything and she disappeared,’ the nurse continued.
She said Watts admitted to placing the fetus in a bucket and putting it outside her home, as well as saying that she did not want the baby.
However, Warren police found the fetus still lodged in the toilet. Watts was later arrested and charged with gross abuse of a corpse, a fifth-degree felony.
According to attorney Traci Timko, who formerly served as the city’s assistant law director, Watts was told that the fetus was not viable.
Watts appeared in court on November 2. Her attorney, Traci Timko, says the fetus was not viable, and a forensic pathologist confirmed that it died before passing through the birth canal
In the 911 call, the nurse told dispatchers that Watts had been admitted to the hospital earlier that week and left 'against medical advice'
‘It’s a lot of pain, it’s a lot of emotion, and she was terrified,’ Timko said of her client. ‘There were so many things going on that she was trying to handle at one time.’
Watts said she felt ‘anger, scared, betrayed, confused, and nervous’ when she was arrested.
‘Every negative emotion you could conjure up in the English language, I felt it,’ she continued.
A preliminary hearing was held November 2 in Warren Municipal Court.
When Detective Nick Carney took the stand, he said Watts ‘said she felt the baby come out and there was a big splash.’
There were no injuries found on the fetus, according to a forensic pathologist, who testified that it died before passing through the birth canal.
The judge found probable cause to send the case to the Trumbull County Grand Jury for review.
Last week, Prosecutor Dennis Watkins released a memo saying his office is ‘duty bound’ to follow Ohio law.
Under Ohio law, a person must treat a corpse 'in a way that would outrage reasonable community sensibilities' to qualify for the felony charge
Ohio's Senate Bill 27 makes it a first-degree misdemeanor for fetal remains to be disposed through any means other than cremation or interment. However, this law typically applies to healthcare settings like abortion clinics
The state law contains stipulations for the misdemeanor offense of abuse of a corpse and the felony offense of gross abuse of a corpse.
To qualify for the felony charge, a person must ‘treat a human corpse in a way that would outrage reasonable community sensibilities.’
Timko believes her client will be cleared. ‘Ohio law is on our side,’ she said.
Friends of Watts created a GoFundMe to help cover her legal fees, writing: ‘We must help Brittany as she endures and fights this injustice, and we must ensure that no woman will be victimized this way again.’
The campaign has already raised over $200,000, more than double its goal.
Ohio's Senate Bill 27 makes it a first-degree misdemeanor for fetal remains to be disposed through any means other than cremation or interment.
But this law typically applies to healthcare settings like abortion clinics rather than a private residence.
The bill has proven to be contentious, and in February 2022, a federal judge blocked enforcement of the law after determining that it violated clinics’ and patients’ rights to due process and equal protection.
One year prior, the law was blocked from taking effect when the Ohio Department of Health failed to provide necessary documents.
Enforcement of the law is paused awaiting final judgement on the case.

Monday Musings: Pune’s wish list for 2024
Lack of coordination among various government agencies has resulted in haphazard growth, prompting Pune to formulate a wish list for 2024
Pune: As we bid farewell to 2023, Pune reflects on a year marked by triumphs and tribulations. The city, known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and burgeoning economy, has faced challenges that underscore the need for strategic planning and cohesive governance. The lack of coordination among various government agencies has resulted in haphazard growth, prompting Pune to formulate a wish list for 2024. It aims to address critical issues and pave the way for a more organised and prosperous future.
Visionary and energetic MP, MLAs
Pune’s first and foremost desire for 2024 is to elect a Member of Parliament (PM) during general elections in April-May with a clear vision and unwavering zeal for pursuing diverse developmental projects especially when the city is without a leader after the death of Girish Bapat. By the end of 2024, Maharashtra will witness assembly polls for 288 seats, of which eight are from Pune and three from Pimpri-Chinchwad and 10 from rural parts of the district. Pune needs legislators like it needs a strong MP. Pune is the second largest city in the state with employment generation on a par with Mumbai. Yet, it has got a raw deal at many levels.
The city has witnessed projects running behind schedule, emphasising the urgency of proactive leadership. Additionally, physical fitness is crucial, as recent losses of public representatives, including Bapat, Mukta Tilak and Laxman Jagtap, to ailments highlight the importance of health in public service.
Beyond local concerns, an energetic MP or MLAs must advocate fervently for Pune’s interests on national platforms. This involves articulating the city’s needs in the parliament, collaborating with other MPs to garner support for Pune-specific projects, and ensuring that the city’s voice resonates in the larger discourse of national development.
Empowering local governance
With the previous corporators’ tenure completing in March 2022 and no civic polls after that, Pune has been lacking representation in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). Restoring this representation is vital for the city’s growth, as local governance is considered the first guardian of citizens’ welfare. Pune must prioritise empowering local bodies to address the needs of its diverse population.
Local government encourages citizen engagement and participation in civic affairs. Corporators facilitate town hall meetings, community-driven initiatives, and collaborative projects that strengthen the social fabric of Pune. The absence of corporators leaves a void in these essential community-building activities, potentially diminishing the sense of civic pride and involvement among residents.
In conclusion, the absence of representation in PMC by March 2024 is not merely a procedural matter; it is a vital concern for the city’s growth and citizen well-being.
Tackling traffic woes
Pune’s perennial challenge of traffic congestion demands immediate attention in 2024. The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) requires a comprehensive overhaul, and the Metro rail system must expand rapidly to alleviate the burden on existing transportation infrastructure. Simultaneously, improving the city’s roads is essential to ensure smoother traffic flow.
Balanced approach to development
Pune acknowledges the importance of sustainable development and understands that opposition from some citizens and environmental activists is inevitable. Striking a balance between progress and environmental preservation is the key. Expecting zero damage to environment is unrealistic just as building large projects without considering our surroundings will be unfair.
As Pune looks forward to 2024, the wish list outlined above represents the collective aspirations of its citizens. With strong leadership, empowered local governance, and a commitment to sustainable development, Pune aims to overcome its challenges and emerge as a shining example of a city that balances progress with environmental stewardship. The new year holds the promise of transformation, and Pune is ready to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.

At the top of the list is the traditional Kahwa, a Kashmiri green tea steeped with an aromatic blend of spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and saffron. Known for its warming effects, Kahwa helps alleviate colds and congestion, making it a perfect companion for winter.
Coffee with Cinnamon: Your Antioxidant Boost
Next up, coffee laced with a dash of cinnamon serves as an invigorating drink that marries the caffeine boost of coffee with the antioxidant benefits of cinnamon. This potent blend helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation, enhancing your health in the cold season.
Herbal Teas: The Caffeine-Free Alternatives
For those seeking caffeine-free alternatives, herbal teas such as mint and ginger tea make an excellent choice. They not only provide warmth but also improve digestion and manage blood pressure. Honey ginger tea, especially when brewed with holy basil leaves, boosts the immune system and aids digestion.
Turmeric Milk: The Golden Elixir
Turmeric milk, with its vibrant golden hue and anti-inflammatory properties, is ideal for soothing sore throats and colds. A vegan alternative can be made using nuts and seeds, broadening its appeal to various dietary needs.
Warm Lemon Water: The Simple Hydrator
Warm lemon water is a straightforward yet effective drink for hydration and immune system support. Its tangy notes offer a refreshing twist, making it a favorite morning ritual for many.
Ayurvedic Kadha: The Immunity Booster
Last on the list is the Ayurvedic Kadha, a herbal concoction that acts as a potent immunity booster and remedy for various ailments. This drink, steeped in ancient wisdom, offers a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.
While these drinks offer a plethora of health benefits, it is important to consume them in moderation. Individuals with specific health concerns or allergies should consult with a healthcare provider before incorporating these drinks into their routine.

Two people rescued after falling 100 feet from cliff in Yolo County
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
(FOX40.COM) — Two people who fell off a cliff in Yolo County were rescued by multiple agencies after landing nearly 100 feet below.
On Friday night, Yolo County Sheriff’s Office reported that Capay Valley Fire and Yocha DeHe Fire responded to a fall report on County Road 41 near Highway 16 during a storm.
These are the most-viewed stories on FOX40 in 2023
“It turned out to be a challenging situation with two individuals falling approximately 100 feet over a cliff near Camp Haswell,” Yolo County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) said in a social media post.
YCSO and volunteer search and rescue teams “joined the effort in the steep, rugged remote terrain of Yolo County. Unfortunately, helicopters couldn’t assist due to inclement weather,” officials said.
Despite the difficulties, fire and sheriff personnel said they reached the victims after a night climb. They stabilized and sheltered the individuals until sunrise, according to YCSO. At daybreak, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter safely transported the victims.

'Nothing ruins your weekend like finding out it's only Wednesday'! National Parks Service become an unlikely social media hit with their wry memes
- The NPS has created funny tweets with adorable animals for months
- The posts include facts about the animals and jokes or puns
- Social media users have loved all the post the agency has made
The National Parks Service (NPS) has become a social media sensation for using wry memes to promote safety guidance to visitors.
With a following of 1.2million on X (formerly Twitter), the NPS social media team use 'dad jokes' to dispense warnings about approaching wild animals and fun facts about different species - and they've become an unlikely hit.
In a post warning tourists to steer clear of bison on the roads, the NPS tells followers to 'if you find yourself sharing the road with a bison... be patient and wait for them to make their way and only maneuver around them when safe for all'. Sound advice.
The post goes on to jest: 'Also, bison are notorious for selling extended warranties and rarely use a turn signal.'
There are currently more than 14,222 park rangers employed in the US.
In 2022, the National Park Service - which oversees federal parks, memorials and historic sites - received 312 million recreation visits, up 15 million visits - 5 percent - from 2021.
In 2022, there were more than 13 million overnight stays.
According to the National Parks Service, the Great Smoky Mountains - straddling Tennessee and North Carolina - is America's most visited national park, with nearly 13 million visitors in 2022. This was fewer than the 14 million who visited the previous year, but it remained far more popular than the country's other national parks.
Grand Canyon was second most visited, with almost 5 million visitors. It was made a national park in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson and was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1979.
It was closely followed in visitor numbers by Zion, also made a national park in 1919 by President Wilson.
Zion, in Utah, boasts stunning massive red pink and cream sandstone formations including the Kolob Arch, while parks like Yellowstone - also a favorite for visitors - has geysers including Old Faithful and hot springs and an array of wildlife
Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872, saw a total of 3.29million visitors in 2022, down from 4.86million the previous year, according to Statisa.

PMC to start three new wards at Kamala Nehru Hospital
The PMC has set up three new wards—a male medicine ward, female medicine ward, and an emergency care ward on the fifth floor of the hospital
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has upgraded the Kamala Nehru Hospital (KNH), its only general hospital, to 400 beds. The civic body has added 100 more beds to the hospital, taking the existing facility from 300 to 400 beds, said the officials.
The PMC has set up three new wards—a male medicine ward, female medicine ward, and an emergency care ward on the fifth floor of the hospital. All these three wards will be made functional from Monday, January 1. Also, a separate operation theatre for sepsis procedures will be made functional soon, the officials added.
Dr Bhagwan Pawar, health officer of PMC, said, that till now the medicines patients and surgery patients have been admitted in the same wards, however, the additional sections will help cater to patients more efficiently.
“Additional healthcare staff has been appointed at the hospital which includes 15 nurses and eight class four staff for the upgraded facility. We have adequate doctors at the hospital including the resident doctors from PMC-run medical college,” he said.
Dr Suraj Wani, medical superintendent of KNH, said after Sassoon General Hospital (SGH) the PMC-run Kamala Nehru Hospital is the only public hospital in the city.
“Now we have separate medicine wards and an emergency medical ward. The hospital also has state-of-the-art operation theatres and a Neonatal intensive care unit (ICU). All treatments and procedures are provided free of cost,” he said.
Given the rising population of Pune, the PMC has decided to strengthen its healthcare facilities. The medical college started by PMC has been of great help to the hospital when it comes to resident doctors.
“Even if 100 more beds have been added, there won’t be an issue to provide healthcare services to the additional patients,” Dr Smita Sangade, deputy medical superintendent of KNH, said.

Mead Johnson Nutrition Recalls Nutramigen Powder Over Bacterial Contamination Concerns
Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition has voluntarily initiated a recall of select batches of Nutramigen Powder, a specialist infant formula for children with cow’s milk allergies, due to concerns over potential bacterial contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall, which concerns batches produced in June and distributed throughout the summer months.
Potential Bacterial Contamination
The potential contaminant is Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacteria that can cause severe infections, including sepsis and meningitis. Symptoms of infection may include jaundice, temperature fluctuations, poor feeding, irritability, difficulty breathing, and unusual movements. At the time of the recall announcement, Reckitt Benckiser stated that most of the affected product in the United States is believed to have already been consumed, and no illnesses or adverse effects have been reported.
Voluntary Recall of Nutramigen Powder
The recall includes 675,030 cans of Nutramigen powder infant formula. Consumers are advised to check the bottom of Nutramigen cans for the impacted batch numbers to determine if they have a potentially contaminated product. The company has provided the impacted batch numbers and their corresponding can sizes for consumers’ convenience.
Response and Next Steps
The FDA stated that all the products in question underwent extensive testing by Mead Johnson Nutrition and tested negative for the bacteria. Yet, out of an abundance of caution, Mead Johnson Nutrition has chosen to voluntarily recall the potentially affected batches. While no illnesses or adverse events have been recorded at the time of the recall, consumers are urged to check the bottom of their cans to see if they hold one of the potentially contaminated batches.

Whatever happened to the historic Hamilton farmhouse set for demolition?
What we reported: Butler County MetroParks had planned to demolish a farmhouse connected to the famous Hueston family in Hamilton. Susan Antenen, a conservationist and daughter of former Hamilton Mayor Ann Antenen, led an effort to consider other options for the house. At their meeting in April, parks commissioners discussed doing a structural engineering assessment to help determine the next steps.
About the historic farmhouse
The house is at the entrance of Antenen Nature Preserve in Four Mile Creek Park. It was built in 1875 by Robert Hueston, nephew of Matthew Hueston. Matthew Hueston was a Butler County commissioner in the 1820s and a justice of the peace in Fairfield and Hanover townships. He served in the Army in the 1790s and was a purchasing agent for the Army of the Northwest during the War of 1812.
Susan Antenen's family bought the house in 1960 and rented it out for decades. MetroParks acquired the Antenen Nature Preserve property in 1997 and the building was boarded up in approximately 2017, MetroParks spokesperson Katie Ely-Wood said.
Antenen asked the parks board to consider options other than demolition.
Ely-Wood said MetroParks has delayed plans for salvage and demolition to accommodate the wishes of those trying to find an alternative.
What's happened since
MetroParks did a structural assessment of the house in the spring and the engineer said it should be condemned, Ely-Wood said.
An architect who examined the house estimated it would cost about $500,000 to restore it. Ely-Wood said the architect found the house could likely be relocated as an alternative to demolition.
Can you move a house?
There is some precedent for moving historic properties to preserve them. In 2022, the city of Hamilton relocated a historic Hamilton train depot to city-owned property.
Antenen said it would be wonderful for someone to relocate the house.
"It's not fancy, but with love it could be a wonderful house for somebody in the New Miami or Seven Mile area," she said.
What happens next
MetroParks is now accepting bids for the property, with bidding open until 2 p.m. on Jan. 31.
"The board’s decision to sell and relocate the house will give interested parties the opportunity to preserve, restore or salvage the building as they see fit. It will also mitigate the liability and eyesore that the house has become," Ely-Wood said.
Those interested can attend a pre-bid meeting at 10 a.m. on Jan. 17 at the house's location at 2385 Treiber Road in Hamilton and walk around the building's exterior.
Ely-Wood said MetroParks is giving the public more time than is required under Ohio law to submit bids, but if the organization does not receive any acceptable bids, the board will move forward with plans to salvage the house's materials and demolish the structure in 2024.

Dark sky at night, stargazer's delight! Stunning photographs reveal the beauty of starry nights in America's national parks
- Several national parks and monuments within the US are known for their starry night skies
- Popular tourist locations are among the places with the best nighttime views
Stargazers looking to escape a city full of lights and enter a sky full of stars are in luck thanks to the many parks and monuments that provide beautiful scenic views.
States like California, Colorado, and Utah have popular camping locations known for breathtaking views of the night stars.
Some locations have dangerously hot temperatures while others are well-known locations for people who are looking to ski in the winter.
The areas that provide travelers with the famous night skies they are looking to see on their trips are all different in ways that involve activities, history, and stargazing sky protection.
From popular tourist spots, to night skies hardly viewed by anyone, stargazers everywhere may be proud to witness all the locations that contain the beautiful night views filled with enough stars to create unforgettable experiences.
Joshua Tree National Park in California is a beautiful location for fans of the great outdoors who are looking to gaze into a scenic night sky in a thriving area of more than 800,000 acres. However, visitors should make sure to bring their sunblock since daytime temperatures at the park can reach over 100 degrees
Other than the beautiful sunset and sunrise views, visitors who go to Joshua Tree may spot large herds of bighorn sheep and black tailed rabbits. Visitors have also seen coyotes and kangaroo rats in the area, and anyone who looks up at the daylight sky when not staring at the stars during the winter can spot migrating birds
Death Valley National Park in California and Nevada might be morbidly named, but the area itself provides breathtaking views for travelers who don't mind going to one of the hottest and driest national parks. Anyone who may be sensitive to the sun should bring as much skin protection as possible due to the record heat and droughts
Visitors staying in Death Valley can spot fields of wildflowers during the warm season if it rains and winter snow throughout the peaks seen throughout the national park. Sadly, outdoor lovers looking to visit during the 2023 winter season may have a difficult time accessing the park since rare flood damage ruined several roads near the area
Hikers at Death Valley looking for even more unique views can go to Zabriskie Point - a popular location known for its sunrises and sunsets at the national park. It was named after Christian Zabriskie, who was the vice president of the Pacific Coast Borax mining company that was located in Death Valley and shipped its products from the area's railroad
Despite the number of animals spotted within the parks in California, droughts have caused several environmental emergencies that have led to the death of various mammals
Anyone visiting or living in Montana hoping to catch fantastic views of the Northern Lights and the Milky Way can make their way over to Glacier National Park near Lake McDonald. The beautiful spot also contains a variety of melting glaciers and alpine meadows throughout the park that includes over 700 miles of trails
Luckily for stargazers, the environment is undisturbed of light and air pollution, meaning the skies should be relatively clear and beautiful for most of the year at the Glacier National Park. However, visitors should also be careful when enjoying the sky, since the area is covered with nocturnal areas who get disturbed by light pollution
Located in Baker, Nevada, the Great Basin National Park is full of huge starry skies and hardly any big crowds of visitors. Travelers looking for a beautiful spot to stay and look at the stars are in luck with this location since it's one of the least visited national parks
Visitors can find various lakes and limestone caves throughout Great Basin National Park located halfway between the Sierra Nevada and the Wasatch Mountain Ranges. It's a paradise for hikers looking for a quiet adventure. However, it may be best for travelers who are a long ways away from Nevada go on a long road trip to the park, since the closest national airports (Salt Lake City and Las Vegas) are nearly 300 miles away from Great Basin
One unique feature of Great Basin National Park that may be a reason why hikers look to visit there is because its the home of Wheeler Peak - the second tallest peak in Nevada. It will lead climbers to a wonderful night skylight, and give them a heavy workout since the peak in more than 13,000 feet tall
One famous tourist spot for travelers in California is the Joshua Tree National Park in the south.
It's location has been known for its droughts and high temperatures, but it's also gained fame for being one of the areas that look over the Coachella Valley - the area where the annual Coachella festival takes place.
Other than the hot temperatures and large desert lands, Joshua Tree National Park is a clear area that is an International Dark Sky Park, which means that it is a protected area that preserves and protects dark sites through responsible lighting policies and public education.
Travelers looking to go outside of California can also visit Montana and Nevada, states with beautiful locations that provide great views of stars and the northern lights.
A popular Nevada National Park in Nevada is Great Basin, which features a peak of more than 13,000 tall to view stars in an area that is also an International Dark Sky Parks.
Hikers who aren't looking to climb the 13,000 tall peak at Great Basin National Park can travel to Arizona and hike up the Chiricahua Mountains, which are the highest peaks in Arizona. The mountain with a high point of more than 9,700 feet is located in various Arizona areas, including the Chiricahua National Monument, the Chiricahua Wilderness, and the Southwestern Research Center
Arizona travelers who hope to get a beautifully view of the sky without climbing a mountain can go to Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction. Other visitors will likely be around to all see the night skies, especially since there are 134 campsites for travelers to stay in during their trip to the state park
Nice long walks in Scottsdale, Arizona can be taken on the Brown's Ranch Trail full of areas where visitors can hike, bike, or ride horses. Visitors may be able to spot historic ranching era artifacts on their trail journeys and maybe even walk past the Saguaro Cactus-Desert Landscape. Travelers should not be surprised if they spot children on a school day since some of the trail's many visitors are students going to the trail on a field trip
One national park where travelers can spot close to five million visits a year is the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Travelers can experience a wide variety of activities and tours near the national park that is only a small part of the Grand Canyon that is also located in Nevada, Utah, and Colorado
The national park's wonderful views of the starry night skies and red rocks can be viewed from places like Mather Point, Yavapai Observation Station, and the Desert View Watchtower. It's unclear how much the skies affect the amount of money spent by tourists looking to visit the national park, but the areas will likely not close down anytime soon since an estimated $710 million was spent by visitors in 2021
If the Grand Canyon National Park is too big for travelers, they can make their way to the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument in Flagstaff. The volcano erupted in 1085 AD, and despite an eruption scare in 2015, the Sunset Crater was confirmed to be extinct by geologists later that year, making it safe for all tourists looking for extravagant night skies in Flagstaff
Visitors who are hoping for starry nights in Arizona that aren't excited for camping are in luck with the relaxing Quailway Cottage between the Chiricahua Mountains and the Peloncillo Mountain near Portal. Fully furnished surrounded by excellent birdlife, travelers who don't mind spending at least $100 a night can get the scenic view they're looking for outdoors without needing to sleep outside
Interesting Arizona stargazing areas include ones that don't require travelers to camp outside.
One of these locations is Quailway Cottage, located between the Chiricahua and Peloncillo Mountains near Portal.
Visitors would have to spend at least $100 a night, but it may be worth it if it means one can stargaze and not sleep outside with a variety of nocturnal animals.
It is also home to the Grand Canyon National Park, which could be considered one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US.
An interesting place one may be afraid to go to is the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, which is located on an actual volcano in Flagstaff.
Travelers and astronomers love to travel to the now-extinct volcano to witness the stars that fill the dark skies.
The volcano park even includes summer night star events related to the dark skies, one being solar viewing at the Sunset Crater Volcano Visitor Center.
Travelers looking for views outside of states like California and Arizona can spot them in Utah by going to the Natural Bridges National Monument in San Juan County. Historians may also wish to visit since Natural Bridges is Utah's first-ever monument in the state. The Owachomo Bridge is one of the three bridges where visitors can find stars filling the night skies at the monument
The Owachomo Natural Bridge spans 180 feet and it measures up to 106 feet tall. It is the smallest of the three bridges located within the Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah, the other two being the Kachina and the Sipapu, in honor of ancestral Puebloans who once lived in the area
Utah travelers who don't mind visiting a popular outdoor area can go to the Capitol Reef National Park in the south-central desert. Over 1.2 million visitors went to the Park in 2022 and have even been able to drive on the trails of a park that is at least 378 miles
Capital Reef Park is full of cliffs, canyons, domes and bridges in the Waterpocket Fold, which alone extends 100 miles. One of the many areas of the park that provides great views without the need for camping is the Temple of the Sun located in the Cathedral Valley around the park. The temple itself must be climbed, but it is also located right near a drivable road
One interesting thing visitors may spot when travelling to the Hovenweep National Monument in Montezuma Creek, Utah is the Tower Point. Standing in this area placed at the junction of two canyons will provide travelers with stellar night time views that is considered to be a must-see when visiting the monument
The Hovenweep National Monument, while known for its scenic views, is also the land that is also located in Colorado that contains evidence of people of paleo Indian descent and from the archaic period. Past and present, there are possibilities that 15,000 stars are in the night sky with little light pollution
The Zion National Park in southwest Utah is great for travelers look for those dark skies to bring out the stars late at night. It also may provide a fun story when coming back from this stargazing adventure since visitors who look at the sky will be able to come home and say the stared at the stars at Utah's first-ever national park
The Zion National Park is home to several cliffs and hikers may even spot the Rocky Mountain landscape when taking a walking journey within the area. Although travelers who visit Zion may see a little bit of pollution within the mountains, the park will still show off beautiful and clear night skies for anyone who seeks them
The Cedar Breaks National Monument may not be the first one in Utah, but it does help keep the extremely small town of Brian Head popular when it's not skiing season. When visitors aren't keeping an eye on the rainbow sunsets behind the tall trees, they can find themselves surrounded by meadows and wildflowers
Once the sunsets fade away, the dark skies take over at Cedar Breaks and provide year-round stargazing events for astronomy lovers in Utah. Travelers who aren't camping looking to enjoy the skies will have no choice but to do so in their cars, since camping is not permitted outside the campground
If one is a traveler that will not risk visiting a monument during skiing season, they can go to the Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah. The location receives close to one million visitors a year and is divided into four districts by the Colorado River: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and all of the other surrounding bodies of water
Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah is a bit different from the others, especially since the park is not only known for scenic views, but also for its spire-shaped rock formations and horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters. Star lovers will likely enjoy Bryce Canyon's annual Astronomy Festival, which includes telescope viewings and constellation tours. The 2024 festival will be from June 5-8
Utah includes a variety of stargazing locations famous for a variety of events it puts on to celebrate astrology and the proof of its connection to paleo people.
The Hovenweep National Monument in Montezuma Creek contains evidence of the existence of paleo people and others from the archaic period.
It's also a Utah location that can have as many as 15,000 starts in the night sky every night.
Travelers hoping to have a little bit of fun in the Utah area can enjoy the Astronomy Festival held every year at Bryce Canyon National Park.
The park, already known for its scenic views, puts on the festival every year and offers visitors telescope viewings and constellation tours.
This year's festival has already happened, but the dates for the 2024 celebration are June 5-8.
Travelers who are not up for visiting locations in Utah can go to Colorado and travel up the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park. These dwellings are known by the National Park Service as some of the most notable and best preserved cliffs in North America, where people can visit and stargaze into the huge night sky
Visitors who aren't a big fan of climbing mountains at the Mesa Verde National Park can also spot beautiful views by walking up the Point Lookout Trail. The 2.2 roundtrip tail may take at least two hours to finish, but it will be a quiet oasis for people only looking for day-time trips without encountering bicycles or animals
Despite the name, the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve near Alamosa, Colorado is not just known for its mounds of sand. The park does have the tallest dunes in North America, but it also includes loads of grasslands, wetlands, forests, lakes, and tundras
Travelers who visit the Great Sand Dunes can find lodging surrounding the area all season round. However, this park is the perfect place to find stars in a dark sky, especially since this location is an International Dark Sky Park, meaning Great Sand Dunes will be protected from the harmful effects of light pollution
Residents and visitors of New Mexico who love the stars may want to visit the Fajada Butte in Chaco Culture National Historical Park in San Juan County. The park has been referred to as the center of an ancient world due to its connection the Ancestral Puebloan people and is considered by many enthusiasts to be one of the best places in America to stargaze
Two popular programs available at the Chaco Culture National Historic Park include the Night Sky initiative and Night Sky Program. Chaco's Night Sky Initiative is a combination of modern approaches to viewing the sky through the eyes of the Chacoan people and astronomers participate in the Chaco Night Sky Program to help monitor levels of light pollution in the region
The western and southern US does have incredible stargazing locations, but travelers closer to Minnesota and near the Canadian border can visit the Voyageur's National Park to see starry skies just as beautiful. The entire park is at least 218,055 acres in size and contains several bodies of water, cliffs, and forests
Clear and moonless nights are the best times to find stars in the Minnesota sky at Voyageurs. Upcoming visitors are also in luck since the park is filled with several open horizons that give travelers scenic daytime and nigh time views. The National Park Service suggests two great stargazing locations: The Meadwood Road Day Use Area and the upper parking lot at the Rainy Lake Visitor Center
Other major areas to star gaze in the west are Colorado and New Mexico.
The Chaco Culture National Historical Park is the place to go for anyone interested in learning more about history and astronomy.
The two programs that take place at the park include the Chaco's Night Sky Initiative and the Chaco Night Sky Program.
The Night Sky Initiative combines the teaching of stargazing practices from the Chacoan people, along with modern day techniques to get the perfect star view in the night skies.
Their Night Sky Program is more for amateur astronomers who help monitor the levels of light pollution.
This popular program has over 3,000 annual visitors and include volunteers that help the park present programs that are connected to the Chacoan people.

A snowball effect in personal tech: Looking ahead into 2024
Smaller chips, AI support, reimagined operating systems - it’s a world changing faster than ever, driven by both need and momentum.
Part of the speed at which personal technology is evolving has to do with need, but much of it is pure momentum. Remote-work tools are a good example of the former; artificial intelligence (AI)-led apps exemplify the latter. As we glide into 2024, evolving experiences will be the broader focus of new products and services on all fronts.
Key debates will revolve around privacy, and simplicity. Already, the return of dumb phones (also euphemistically called “feature phones”) on the one hand and the excitement over wearable pins that can help take calls and read email on the other represent this growing dichotomy. AI will, of course, add a new layer of complexity to the landscape overall.
Starting up Let’s begin with the microchip/processor. The effort to make this foundational element of most tech interactions smaller, and thereby more power-efficient, continues. Added to that effort is a drive to now also make the chip more attuned to the AI-led tasks it will inevitably need to run. In smartphones, Qualcomm has been doing this with the past couple of generations of its Snapdragon smartphone and wearables-focused chips. Apple’s Silicon and Google’s Tensor chips will be working towards this goal too. It is time for laptops and desktops to catch up.
Early 2024 will see the release of the first laptops powered by Intel’s new, consumer-focused Core Ultra chips. These are statedly 70% faster than recent generations of chips, when it comes to processing for generative AI models and computations.
Canva Magic Studio, the Adobe Firefly generator, and Anthropic’s Claude chatbot illustrate a growing number of tools and use-cases that will welcome optimised AI performance. “If you love OpenAI’s Dall-e or Google’s Imagen, the aim is to allow you integrate them as an app inside the Canva ecosystem, for instance,” Melanie Perkins, co-founder and CEO of Canva says, indicating the broadening scope of AI integration.
AMD will respond to Intel’s new performance benchmark, as will Qualcomm. The latter is also contending with developing competition from Apple’s M series chips, hopes resting on their Snapdragon X Elite platform.
A whole separate generation of AI-focused chips is being readied, meanwhile, for developers of AI’s founding blocks: the large language models. LLMs are trained in a process that demands considerable processing power, so these chips will be vital to overall evolution in this space.
Intel’s Gaudi 3 chips for AI companies arrive in 2024. Intel will also be working with UK’s Stability AI to build an AI supercomputer. Rival chipmaker AMD’s Instinct MI300 chips to train and run LLMs (which, they claim, will be the “highest performing accelerator in the world”) are also due for release in 2024. Microsoft and Meta are already on board as customers.
Microsoft is building custom chips too. The Azure Maia 100 and Cobalt 100 will be used to train LLMs, while reducing dependence on Nvidia. The latter, meanwhile, will hope to solve its availability and pricing issues (the Nvidia H100 reportedly costs between $25,000 and $40,000, due to shortages) ahead of the expected release of their H200 AI chip.
Next in computers Evolving operating systems are another key frontier in computing. Microsoft’s Windows 12 may be released in the second half of 2024. Much of the AI play already unfolding with Windows 11 updates (which will continue into the new year) is a precursor to Windows 12, which will have considerably deeper integration. The billions Microsoft has invested in OpenAI lead us to this inevitable point.
The Copilot “everyday assistant” will underline the new functionality that productivity and workplace apps under the Microsoft 365 umbrella will adopt. There will be AI-led email draft generation in Outlook, a notebook method for conversing with a chatbot, summaries of Teams meetings, and more. Whether all this will make interactions with these apps any smarter remains uncertain.
Lingering questions about the long-term viability of foldable or hybrid computing device forms remain. There have been sparks over time, mostly efforts made by Microsoft and Lenovo. By and large though, the PC ecosystem is struggling to overcome its inertia.
Does moving away from Microsoft Windows and Apple’s macOS open up better avenues for an alternate hybrid computer? The Apple iPad may face its toughest competition yet, if evolving refinement of last year’s OnePlus Pad and Xiaomi Pad 6 provides a springboard.
New journey for smartphones In this year and coming ones, most of our daily use of AI is likely to shift to the smartphone. These devices will therefore need to acquire the ability to interpret software and user experience with equal skill, if they are to smoothly take this step forward.
Beginning with the premium Android flagship releases expected from OnePlus and Samsung this year, phone makers will increasingly reference unique features as they aim to compete in this space. Google Assistant on Android is expected to evolve, with a smarter personality, tentatively called Pixie. Samsung’s AI call-translate feature for its next set of Galaxy phones will attempt to break the language barrier in real-time speech. OnePlus’s Android software tweaks will build on the first-generation OnePlus Open’s software and seek to utilise a foldable screen to the fullest.
Xiaomi, for the first time in its history, is reworking its smartphone operating system completely, phasing out MIUI and replacing it with HyperOS. The new operating system will offer end-to-end data encryption and large foundation models for AI-led apps.
New form factors are desirable. Samsung’s dominance in foldables has been challenged successfully by a refined OnePlus Open, and that battle will resume later in the year, with successors. Apps that make better use of a larger foldable display to enable new use-cases will likely become more crucial.
Designs look set to see a bit more colour. Appreciation for the Emerald Dusk hue by OnePlus and the transparent glass back on the Nothing Phone (2) will likely embolden designers. As will a push towards a premium experience; this push has already prompted the more-affordable upcoming Xiaomi Redmi Note series to adopt a leather-like finish on the back, in place of plastic or metal.
With camera performance such a key deciding factor among buyers, collaborations with phone makers and camera makers look set to be stepped up. Xiaomi will reap benefits from Leica’s involvement, as the former makes a concerted effort to establish itself in the premium smartphones space. New hardware in its flagship models will include infrared light and reflectance tech within each lens. Vivo’s partnership with Zeiss will define that company’s upcoming flagship phone, X100 Pro, which is expected to offer a still-rare-in-smartphones 1-inch main sensor, and multi-focus portrait capability.
How will these needs and features be reconciled with the desire for a sleek, light, easy-to-use device? That balancing act, alongside the evolving price tags, will be key.

Nestlé Discontinues Animal Bar, Leaving Fans Heartbroken
In an unexpected move, Nestlé has put a halt to the production of the much-loved Animal Bar, an announcement that has left its ardent fans disheartened. This classic treat, made from the finest milk chocolate, has been a staple in the confectionery aisle since its debut in 1963. Alongside this, the production of Moro, Wispa, Boost, and Caramac bars has also been discontinued, adding to the dismay of the consumers.
Unanticipated Decision Sparks Disappointment
The decision by Nestlé has stirred a wave of disappointment among loyal customers, who have grown to love the unique taste of the Animal Bar. The discontinuation of the bar, known for its playful packaging featuring different animals and its distinctive flavour, has left them yearning for the taste that had become a part of their lives.
Impact on Consumer Sentiments
The news was met with a flurry of comments, each expressing their sadness and nostalgia. Amidst the disappointment, many consumers lightened the mood with playful banter and satirical remarks about the situation, revealing the deep connection they had formed with the Animal Bar over the years.
Call to Support Journalism Amidst Change
As this event unfolds, there is a renewed call to support journalism through donations. The importance of dependable and meaningful news, accessible to all regardless of financial capabilities, has been emphasized. The Journal, in its commitment to uphold the highest standards of journalistic practices, continues to provide reliable coverage on the unfolding events. This incident also serves as a reminder of the Journal’s cookies policy and its affiliations with the Press Council of Ireland and the Office of the Press Ombudsman.
As we navigate through these changes, it’s important to remember that Journal Media does not take responsibility for user-generated content and external websites. The discontinuation of the Animal Bar is a testament to the ever-evolving world of confectionery, reminding us that even the sweetest things can be fleeting.

Don Lemon brushes off his first post-CNN New Year's Eve in style as he takes a winter dip in Miami Beach with partner Tim Malone - after years of drunken live TV celebrations
Don Lemon was pictured in Miami Beach, Florida Sunday with his partner Tim Malone as he wrapped up an eventful year marked by his departure from the cable network.
The 57-year-old TV journalist was pictured wading in the Atlantic Ocean and relaxing under umbrellas with Malone, a luxury real estate advisor based out of New York with the firm Douglas Elliman.
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana native donned vintage patterned swim trunks with a gray ballcap and sunglasses on the wintry day in the sunny locale.
Malone, 39, had taken to Instagram Stories Saturday with a picturesque image of a sunset, captioning the image '2nd to last sunset of 2023!'
Lemon, a staple on the cable network from 2006 until 2023, had appeared on many of the network's annual New Year's specials, most famously engaging in a drunken rant to ring in 2022.
Don Lemon, 57, was pictured in Miami Beach, Florida Sunday with his partner Tim Malone, 39, as he wrapped up an eventful year marked by his departure from the cable network
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana native donned vintage patterned swim trunks with a gray ballcap and sunglasses on the wintry day in the sunny locale
Lemon said he was let go April 24, two months after he made controversial remarks about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley that he later said he was sorry for.
At the time, then-CNN chairman and CEO Chris Licht - who himself was fired from the network in June - announced the network had 'parted ways' with Lemon.
Lemon, a recipient of the Edward R. Murrow Award in 2002, subsequently tweeted, 'I was informed this morning by my agent I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned.'
He added that 'after 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly.
'At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear that there are some larger issues at play.'
CNN responded in saying that the newsman had been 'offered an opportunity to meet with management' ahead of his ouster.
In a February 16 discussion on CNN This Morning, Lemon told co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins that Haley wasn't 'in her prime.'
Lemon said that a woman was thought to be in her prime 'in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s,' which brought about pushback from Harlow.
She asked him, 'I think we need to qualify. Are you talking about prime for childbearing or are you talking about prime for being president?'
The veteran journalist was seen relaxing with a newspaper on the winter day in South Beach
Lemon was a staple on the cable network from 2006 until earlier this year
Lemon found himself immersed in controversy over his remarks about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley
In a February 16 discussion on CNN This Morning, Lemon told co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins that Haley wasn't 'in her prime'
Lemon subsequently said in a statement that he was remorseful over his 'inartful and irrelevant' remarks
After being let go from the network in April, Lemon was critical of how his ouster was managed
Lemon appeared to have the last word as the year wound to a close, as he piled on against Haley after she found herself immersed in controversy last week after she would not connect slavery to the Civil War
He said, 'Nikki Haley wants grace for using a poor choice of words when, after I misspoke in some comments involving her, she didn’t offer me that same grace, immediately and very publicly took me to task, and then fundraised off of it'
Malone had taken to Instagram Stories Saturday with a picturesque image of a sunset, captioning the image '2nd to last sunset of 2023!'
Lemon said in response, 'Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just saying what the facts are.'
Lemon subsequently said in a statement that he was remorseful over his 'inartful and irrelevant' remarks.
Lemon was back on the show after a three-day absence, but did not directly talk about the controversy on the show.
Haley, following Lemon's firing, celebrated CNN's decision as a 'a great day for women everywhere' and linking to a fundraiser for people to donate to her presidential run.
Lemon appeared to have the last word as the year wound to a close, as he piled on against Haley after she found herself immersed in controversy last week after she would not connect slavery to the Civil War at a Wednesday town hall event in Berlin, New Hampshire.
After Haley sought to backtrack amid pushback, Lemon took to Twitter Thursday to accuse her hypocrisy, refencing their past scandal.
'Nikki Haley wants grace for using a poor choice of words when, after I misspoke in some comments involving her, she didn’t offer me that same grace, immediately and very publicly took me to task, and then fundraised off of it,' he said. 'However, I’m glad she clarified what she should have said. And, In the spirit of the season, let’s see if her actions match her corrected words moving forward.'

Paris gleams with the promise of Olympic gold: Looking forward into 2024
Can the current generation of record-setting Indian athletes translate the triple-digit Asian Games medals tally into double-digit Olympics podium finishes? Hopes are high.
It’s an Olympic year, which means little of the sporting action before or after that mega-spectacle is likely to feel like it matters. All eyes will be on how things unfold over that one fortnight this year, as Paris hosts athletes of the world from July 26 to August 11.
This will be the world’s first Summer Olympics-as-normal since Rio 2016. Fans return to the party, after a delayed and spectator-less Tokyo Games, muted by the pandemic. This will also be an Olympics unlike most others, coming as it does only three years after the postponed Tokyo Olympics were finally held in 2021.
In this current curtailed cycle, India’s athletes have taken strides in the right direction.
At the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022, India took home 61 medals, behind only Australia (178), England (176) and Canada (92). This came a year after the country’s seven-medal outing at the Tokyo Olympics, its highest medal tally ever at the Games.
And then of course there were the Asian Games in Hangzhou, where India broke its records of best-ever medal haul, raising it from 70, a record set in 2018, to 107 in 2023.
The country will now be watching to see if this brave new generation of Indian athletes can translate the high of triple-digit Asian Games medals into double-digit Olympics podium finishes.
Neeraj Chopra, for instance, is already excelling among the world’s finest, having set a number of records for India in 2023 alone (first gold at the World Athletics Championships; first Indian to win in the Diamond League).
Chopra’s historic gold at the Tokyo Games — the first Indian and first Asian to ever win gold in javelin throw — marked the start of a shift in Indian athletics. At the Asian Games, for instance, Chopra successfully defended his crown, and shared the podium with fellow Indian Kishore Jena, who won silver at his Asian Games debut.
Avinash Sable, meanwhile, won silver at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, breaking a Kenyan stranglehold on the men’s 3000m steeplechase; and won gold at the Asian Games. Triple-jumpers Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker gave India a rare 1-2 finish at the Commonwealth Games podium in that discipline. Murali Sreeshankar brought home a long-jump silver, and Tejaswin Shankar, a high-jump bronze.
If Chopra wins in Paris, that would mark another first. No individual Indian medallist has ever won golds in consecutive Olympic Games.
Another great big hope in Paris is hockey. In Tokyo, the Indian men’s team rekindled a lost spark, winning an Olympic medal for the first time in more than four decades. The women’s team ended in fourth place, in a finish that won as many hearts as it broke.
The two teams have played inconsistently since, amid numerous changes in the coaching line-up, in developments that sadly remain par for the course for the sport in India.
The men booked their spot in Paris with an Asian Games gold; the women have not booked a slot yet but still might.
And, finally, there is PV Sindhu. The only Indian woman with multiple Olympic medals, the 28-year-old badminton star is in the midst of a slightly extended lull. Injuries, a dip in confidence and form, and deviation in playing style have all meant that the Sindhu we’ve seen of late isn’t the Sindhu we’ve known. Could a timely resurgence be in store for the silver medallist at Rio 2016 and bronze medallist in Tokyo?
A hat-trick of Olympic medals would certainly be consistent with her narrative so far. And it could help India break into the double-digits with its final medal tally. Which could kick things into a whole new gear within the country’s growing athletics and Olympics movements — and add to the enthusiasm of finally bidding to host a Games. Ahmedabad 2036? It may not happen, but don’t rule it out.

Reckitt Benckiser Recalls Nutramigen Infant Formula Over Contamination Concerns
Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC, through its Mead Johnson Nutrition division, has voluntarily recalled specific batches of Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder. The recall, primarily affecting products distributed in June, July, and August 2023, was announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to potential contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacterium that can cause severe life-threatening infections, sepsis, or meningitis.
Risk of Contamination Despite Negative Test Results
Despite the product undergoing extensive testing by MJN and returning negative results for the bacteria, the possibility of contamination has led to the recall. Nutramigen is a specialty formula intended for infants who are allergic to cow’s milk protein. The recall is limited to the US market and involves the product batches bearing the codes ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FXJ, ZL3FQD, ZL3FMH, ZL3FHG with a UPC code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and a Use By Date of 1 Jan 2025.
Significance of the Recall
Recalls of infant formula are significant due to the vulnerability of the population that consumes the product. The potential risk of severe infections underscores the gravity of the situation. The FDA oversees such recalls to ensure public safety and prevent health risks associated with the consumption of potentially harmful products.
Recommendations for Consumers
Parents and caregivers who use Nutramigen for their infants are advised to check the batch codes of their products. If they possess any of the recalled batches, they should dispose of them immediately. Consumers can contact Reckitt Mead Johnson Nutrition for a total refund. This recall underscores the importance of vigilance in ensuring the safety of infant nutrition products.

A woman has been critically injured after a car hit her in a small town near Whakatāne.
She was flown to hospital after the collision on Tāneatua’s Grace Rd.
Police have closed a section of the road to allow their Serious Crash Unit to examine the scene.
The incident was reported to police at 12.15pm on Monday.
Holiday road toll at 15
Fifteen people have died on New Zealand roads over the Christmas holiday period as of New Year’s Day.
But police said despite crashes on our roads being the leading cause of death, the 340 road-related deaths in 2023 were down 34 from last year.
The holiday toll period started on December 22 at 4pm and officially ends at 6am on January 3.
Police have named Pāpāmoa man Brayden Tawa, 27, Hamilton woman Louise Quinn, and Aucklander Wenxuan Li, 22, among those who tragically lost their lives in fatal crashes during the holidays.
Tawa was killed in a crash between a car and a truck at the intersection of Aerodrome Rd and Hewletts Rd/State Highway 2, Mount Mauganui, on December 27.
Police said Tawa was the front-seat passenger of the car, and the driver and a back-seat passenger survived the crash with minor injuries, as did the driver of the truck.
Quinn was found dead after falling off a quad bike on Rauparaha St in Marokopa, which the Herald understands is her holiday home in rural Waikato.
Wenxuan Li died after a serious crash at Whakamaru shortly before 1.30pm, two days before Christmas.
Police said Li was an Auckland resident and inquiries into the circumstances were ongoing.
Two separate car crashes in Christchurch and Te Puru in the lead-up to New Year’s Eve took the holiday road toll to 15.
Two people died in a crash between two cars and a motorbike in Tunnel Rd in Christchurch shortly before midnight on Saturday.
Two others suffered critical injuries and one other person was seriously injured, police said.
About 8.45pm on Saturday, a person was killed when a car crashed into water in Te Puru in the Coromandel.
Two others suffered critical injuries and one other person was seriously injured, police said.
On December 28, two people died as a result of a crash between a car and a petrol tanker west of the Kaimāī Summit.
Other fatal crashes this holiday period include a person dying in a crash in Prebbleton, southwest of Christchurch on Boxing Day.

If you plan to be out celebrating the New Year in Visalia this weekend, please remember to drive responsibly and always designate a sober driver.
The Visalia Police Department will have additional officers on New Years Eve, looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence (DUI). The additional patrols are intended to reduce the number of DUI-related incidents in the city and ensure the safety of all drivers.
“Impaired driving is preventable,” Agent Robert Avalos said. “It’s a choice. If you’ve been drinking or taken drugs that impair, make the right choice by finding a sober driver or alternate transportation to take you places.”
The Visalia Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
Funding for this program was provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Australian actor, 55, and wife, 67, announced their shock split in September after 27 years of marriage, telling fans they separated 'to pursue our individual growth'.
Yet, amidst the personal turmoil, he shared an exciting glimpse into his professional life, revealing his involvement in the highly-anticipated Deadpool 3.
Jackman took to social media to share a series of personal photos from the past year, captioning it as a 'Lost & found year end photo dump. #2023.'
The standout among these images was of him preparing for his iconic role as Wolverine, getting his facial hair sculpted for Ryan Reynolds' upcoming movie, slated for release in July 2024.

However, noticeably absent from these memories was his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee, following their separation.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee, 67, shocked fans when they announced their split in September.
'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,' the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.'
The former couple signed the statement as 'Deb and Hugh Jackman,' adding: 'This is the sole statement either of us will make.'
The pair had tied the knot in 1996 after crossing paths on set of Correlli in 1995.
During the course of their marriage, they adopted two children: son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18.
