Look what you made Taylor Swift do to her NFL style game.
While cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs' home game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 31, the "Blank Space" singer wore a cream and black varsity jacket with the team's logo, customized with a patch that appeared to read, "Tay-Tay."
Travis, 34, had sported a nearly identical jacket—minus the patch and with different trim—last week when he arrived at Arrowhead for the Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders, as seen in a photo shared on his and the NFL's Instagram pages.
Taylor paired her jacket with black pants worn over matching stiletto boots at the game, which the Chiefs won 25-17.
This marked the ninth time the 34-year-old has been seen at Travis' games since the two began dating over the summer. She has so far showcased a variety of stylish outfits incorporating various pieces of Chiefs apparel during her outings.
The Grammy winner had previously attended the Chiefs' Dec. 25 game and made that event a full family affair, bringing along for the first time both of her parents at the same time—with her mom Andrea Swift making her debut—as well as her brother Austin Swift. Taylor's mom and her dad Scott Swift were spotted chatting with Travis' dad Ed Kelce at the event.

Both Taylor's dad and brother have accompanied her to Chiefs games before. Travis, 34, recently revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce's podcast New Heights that Austin gave him a holiday gift while dressed as Santa during the Christmas Day game.
"He made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag—in the Santa sack," the Chiefs tight end said. "And handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time: Little Giants."
Meanwhile, Taylor and Travis's romance has received a stamp of approval from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.
"We're so happy," she said, "and excited for them."

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.”

This was our last visit to the Bison Range for 2023 and we saw lots of deer! Quite a few were whitetail bucks. In 2024 we will need to buy another yearly pass for $60. A little pricey but since we live so nearby it will be worth it. A day pass is $20!
many thanks for your visits, comments, and favs. Always so appreciated!

Review Guide: Top 12 Throw Blankets and a Crowd-Pleasing Warming Blanket
In an age where comfort and warmth have become the ultimate luxury, throw blankets have taken center stage. After extensive research and rigorous testing of over 50 throw blankets, a comprehensive guide has been compiled, featuring 12 standout choices. Striking a balance between affordability and luxury, these throws range from the modest $20 to the opulent $300, catering to a variety of budgets.
A Display of Variety and Versatility
The selection is a showcase of diversity, featuring everything from durable quilts and cozy fleeces for adults and children, to luxurious winter throws and warm wool lap throws. Notably, one of the throws comes from a company that extends its warmth to homeless shelters through donations. Other selections include a recycled wool throw, a cashmere wool blend, a cotton cable knit, a designer alpaca, a woven cotton, and a cotton gauze throw. The guide even caters to the growing demand for weighted blankets, spotlighting top options in a dedicated section.
Standout Choices: Garnet Hill and L.L. Bean
Garnet Hill Plush Loft Throw has emerged as a favorite, lauded for its warmth, durability, and consistent availability since its initial test in 2018. It’s a symphony of materials, featuring a polyester layer nestled between cotton sateen and polyester plush, offering users a fluffy, quilted sensation. Another standout is the L.L. Bean Wicked Plush Throw, earning accolades for its softness, lightweight nature, and affordability. However, both throws have a polyester composition, which could potentially shed microplastics during washing, contributing to ocean pollution.
Conscious Choices and Eco-friendly Alternatives
The guide doesn’t shy away from addressing the environmental implications of these throws. It offers practical tips to reduce shedding and suggests natural fiber alternatives like the Brooklinen Pure Wool for those mindful of microplastics. Throw blankets have become more than just a trend; they represent a quest for comfort, warmth, and an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
In the world of customer reviews and feedback, a particular warming blanket has captured the hearts of many. Users extol its warmth, softness, and coziness, with several customers noting that it made the perfect Christmas gift. The blanket’s heat level adjustment and auto-shut-off feature have also drawn praise. Reviews suggest that this warming blanket has become a cherished possession for many families, including elderly parents and pets, substantiating its quality and comfort.

(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
- Registration fees
Can I Finance My Lease Buyout?
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.

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.

An escalator broke down at the Walt Disney World Resort, and you’ll never guess how.
Related: Disney Co-Stars Announce Surprise Engagement
Walt Disney World is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” and with so many incredible and magical experiences, we find it hard to disagree. From Magic Kingdom and EPCOT to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, there’s no end to the amazing things guests can do. Unfortunately, even at Disney World, the magic gets cut short, and today, there is no exception.
The escalator featured at the Land pavilion in EPCOT recently broke down, and you’ll never guess why. According to an Instagram post, the main escalator stopped working after a guest’s shoe got trapped in the treads. Video footage of the incident was captured by @chloe.angel.ique, with the jam causing a massive backup of guests.
Multiple videos of the incident were captured by the user, who shared them on their Instagram story. This area is a critical point inside The Land pavilion and often becomes quite crowded, regardless of a jam. The Land is located in World Nature, which is one of four areas at EPCOT. The other three are World Discovery, World Showcase, and World Celebration, all of which were added as part of the ongoing overhaul of EPCOT.
Cast members quickly worked on fixing the escalator, placing a sign warning guests that it had been closed. This is not the first time an incident like this has happened at EPCOT.
The Land pavilion contains a multitude of attractions and experiences, ranging from thrilling to savory. Here, guests will find Soarin’ Around the World, a motion simulator experience, as well as Living with the Land. Guests can also grab a delicious bite to eat at Sunshine Seasons, one of the freshest quick-service restaurants in all of Walt Disney World.
Living with the Land is one of the most time-honored attractions at Walt Disney World, and while it may not be the most exciting or thrilling ride, it remains a fan-favorite for millions of guests, us included. Living with the Land is not your typical dark ride, as it incorporates elements of classic Disney rides with an actual functioning greenhouse. Disney plants and cultivates all kinds of produce inside the actual attraction, giving guests a behind-the-scenes look at the process. The ride is educational yet still remains fun, featuring some great theming, an awesome soundtrack, and beautiful presentation. Don’t expect this ride to knock your Mickey Ears off, but for those with some patience and greater appreciation for nature, you’re sure to have a wonderful time aboard Living with the Land.
Guests who want to experience something a little more exciting should head over to World Discovery, where they can find Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This ultra-high-tech roller coaster is one of the fastest in all of Walt Disney World and is EPCOT’s first-ever coaster. While it has some stiff competition with rides at other parks like Universal Orlando, we have to admit Cosmic Rewind is one of the best we’ve ever been on.
What’s your favorite attraction inside EPCOT?

Israel works to increase use of alternative energies

Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI/TPS): For the first time in Israel, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure allowed the establishment of energy companies in the local authorities. This is being done in order to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.
In cooperation with companies from the private sector, according to the conditions to be determined by the Ministry of the Interior, joint energy corporations will allow local authorities that choose this option to speed up the installation of solar systems, storage facilities and charging stations for electric vehicles in their territories.
Also, the corporations will allow the local authorities to become more efficient in their energy consumption and manage it in a better way. This move will help them save on current expenses and channel them for the benefit of improving the service to the citizens, at the same time as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The "Iron Swords" war highlighted the importance and especially the urgency of creating energy security, alongside the need to decentralise renewable energy production and storage.
This mechanism of establishing joint energy corporations will make it possible to accelerate energy security through a transition to sustainable energyrenewable energies, storage, electric vehicles and energy efficiency.
All of these will improve the energy resilience of the local authorities, among other things, in essential facilities required for functional continuity during an emergency, such as emergency reception centres in public buildings and government buildings. (ANI/TPS)

The Home Edit Founders Unveil Top Organizers for an Orderly Space in 2024
Orderliness is an art mastered by few, and The Home Edit founders, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, are among those few. Redefining the landscape of space organization, the duo has shared their top picks for an orderly space in 2024. With prices starting as low as $10, these organizers promise to revolutionize your living space.
Smart Organization for Saving Money
The dynamic pair unveiled their favorite organizers during their book tour and ahead of their Samsung laundry machine reveal. Their mission? To accentuate the importance of smart organization systems. According to Shearer and Teplin, these simple, yet effective systems prevent unnecessary purchases, thus saving money.
The Home Edit’s Top Picks
So, what are their top three organizational picks? They suggest an all-purpose bin, a plastic turntable with removable dividers, and a set of round canisters. These organizers are not limited by room or type of items; they work anywhere and for anything. They help store various items neatly, making them easily accessible whenever needed.
Transparent Containers and Labels
Shearer and Teplin have a particular fondness for transparent containers. Besides their aesthetic appeal, they offer practicality by making it easier to identify and locate items. To enhance this further, they suggest adding labels for better identification.
The Home Edit’s products are not hard to come by. Retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon feature them prominently, with some items even being part of their Walmart collection. The duo’s emphasis on knowing exactly what one has underscores the philosophy that less is more. A detailed inventory leads to smarter buying decisions and maintains a clean, organized space.

Since the latest bout of Israeli aggression in October 2023, there has been a noticeable collective awe we have experienced from witnessing the iron-clad faith of the Palestinian people. It takes many of us aback to witness a people who define solidarity, humanity, resilience and trust in God’s mercy and justice in the most unbelievable, hell-like scenarios of living under constant bombing and bombardment.
The people still rescue cats and take care of turtles. They still smile and make jokes with one another. They are thankful when their loved ones pass, relieved of the suffering they survive to endure, while continuing to grieve unspeakably for their loved ones, their land, their freedom and dignity and right to live as Palestinians.
It shames me.. What they are going through but we still cry when we have a small calamity/problem.
Many question what is the psychology behind Palestinian resilience?

CHICAGO (AP) — Justin Fields noticed the smoke in the air and the cigars on a table as he walked into the locker room. By then, the celebration was under way.
Fields threw for 268 yards with a touchdown pass and a rushing TD in what could be his final home game for Chicago, and Bears dealt Atlanta's postseason hopes a big blow, beating the Falcons 37-17 on a snowy Sunday.
DJ Moore finished with nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown, and Khalil Herbert ran for 124 yards and a score.
With little wiggle room to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017 — and coach Arthur Smith's future in question — the Falcons (7-9) got overwhelmed by Chicago (7-9).
The Bears grabbed a 21-7 halftime lead with Fields and Moore leading the way and rolled to their fourth win in five games.
“I will definitely remember this game for the rest of my life — just the atmosphere the fans, the chants, the snow,” said Fields, who grew up about 30 miles from Atlanta in Kennesaw, Georgia. “I don’t like snow as a quarterback but looking back on it it was great. But yeah, the spirit of the fans, the game, playing the hometown team, the hometown team where I’m from, beating them, so it was good.”
Fields said he was “surprised” by the cigar smoke. The turnaround the Bears have orchestrated this season might be a little more stunning considering the way their second season under general manager Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus started.
Defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned in September under circumstances that have not been fully explained, and running backs coach David Walker got fired leading up to the Week 9 loss at New Orleans, with Poles indicating it was for behavior. The Bears were 1-5 following a loss to Minnesota at Soldier Field in which Fields dislocated his right thumb. But things have changed since then.
“I know it's a couple wins and all that, but I'm just saying that just to get that vibe in there of, ‘Hey, we can do this,’ that was certainly exciting for the players in there," Eberflus said.
Fans chanted Fields' name with his future as murky as ever. The Bears own the No. 1 pick in the draft thanks to their blockbuster trade with Carolina for Moore last March and could take Caleb Williams or Drake Maye.
If this was Fields' final game at Soldier Field as a Bear, he went out with one of his better all-around performances.
Fields completed 20 of 32 passes and ran for 45 yards. Though he was sacked three times, he also spun out of a few.
Fields threw a neat 7-yard touchdown pass to Moore on Chicago’s first drive and ran for a 9-yard score on the next possession to make it 14-0 early in the second quarter.
Herbert set a season high for the second straight week after rushing for 112 yards last Sunday in a win over Arizona.
Roschon Johnson ran for a TD. Tyrique Stevenson had two of Chicago’s four interceptions, and the Bears won their fifth in a row at home after a 10-game skid at Soldier Field.
The Falcons struggled to get going on offense after setting a season high in scoring last week in a 29-10 win over Indianapolis. They finished with 307 yards, a week after gaining 406.
"You want to go out there and try to win, try to execute plays, and it sucks that sometimes we can’t pull through,” receiver Drake London said. “We’ve been trying for a while now and I mean we just got to keep on going and try to make the best of the situation right now.”
Taylor Heinicke, making his second straight start with Desmond Ridder benched, threw for 163 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. He scrambled 24 yards for a TD early in the fourth quarter to cut it to 27-17 and departed near the end of the game after his left ankle flared up.
Ridder threw a late pick.
Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson tied William Andrews’ team rookie record of 1,332 scrimmage yards, set in 1979. He had 75 yards rushing and 11 receiving.
Tyler Allgeier turned a screen pass into a 75-yard touchdown in the second quarter. But the usually reliable Younghoe Koo had a rough time in the windy conditions, missing two early field goals as Atlanta fell to 2-6 on the road.
INJURIES
Falcons: CB Mike Hughes exited with a concussion after he was hurt late in the third quarter defending a pass to a lunging Tyler Scott in the end zone that hit off the receiver’s hands. ... C Drew Dalman (ankle) was injured late in the game.
Bears: CB Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) left after he was hurt making a tackle on Robinson late in the second quarter.
UP NEXT
Falcons: Visit New Orleans next weekend.
Bears: Visit Green Bay next weekend.

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.

(CNN) — Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts raised concerns about the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in the US judicial system in an annual report released Sunday, warning that the emerging technology could risk “dehumanizing the law” and imperiling fair treatment in the justice system.
“AI obviously has great potential to dramatically increase access to key information for lawyers and non-lawyers alike. But just as obviously it risks invading privacy interests and dehumanizing the law,” Roberts wrote.
The chief justice spent much of his 13-page year-end report laying out how new technology has brought about positive change to the federal court system over the years. But he avoided addressing how the court has recently been pushed into two major disputes involving former President Donald Trump, as well as issues involving ethics and transparency that plagued the court for much of the year, leading the nine justices to announce a new code of conduct last month.
Instead, he presented AI as the “major issue relevant to the whole federal court system.” The technology, Roberts wrote, “requires caution and humility.”
Roberts acknowledged that AI could assist with making courts more accessible, especially for people who may not have the resources to hire an attorney. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” he wrote.
But he appeared wary toward a wholesale adoption of the technology in courts, noting that “studies show a persistent public perception of a ‘human-AI fairness gap,’ reflecting the view that human adjudications, for all of their flaws, are fairer than whatever the machine spits out.”
Roberts also pointed to a flaw in one prominent AI tool that he said caused “lawyers using the application to submit briefs with citations to non-existent cases. (Always a bad idea.).”
The chief justice said he welcomed coming efforts by the Judicial Conference – the policy-making body for the federal courts – to examine AI’s “proper uses in litigation.”
“I predict that human judges will be around for a while,” Roberts wrote. “But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work – particularly at the trial level – will be significantly affected by AI.”
The year-end report also highlighted key statistics on the caseload handled by the Supreme Court during its previous term. The number of cases filed to the high court fell by 15% compared with its 2021 term, while 68 cases were argued before the justices last term – two fewer than the 2021 term.

Ana Ofelia Muruía, a legendary Mexican actor most well-known nowadays for playing Mama Coco in the classic Pixar film, has sadly passed away at 90 years old.
Related: ‘Encanto’ and ‘Coco’ To Take Over Walt Disney World
The tragic news was confirmed by Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature on X (formerly Twitter). “With deep sadness, we regret the sensitive death of the first actress Ana Ofelia Murguía,” the Institute said in a statement, “who was part of the stable cast of the [National Theatre Company of Mexico], and whose artistic career was vital for the performing arts of Mexico.” The Institute then sent their condolences to her friends and family.
Many fans online paid tribute to the late legend, saying she was a “wonderful woman and actress” and “one of the best actresses this country has ever produced.” No cause of death has been reported.
Ana Ofelia Murguría’s Career Goes Far Beyond ‘Coco’
Most people in the United States would know Ana Ofelia Murguía for voicing Mama Coco in the Disney-Pixar animated film Coco, which won the 2018 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. She starred alongside Anthony Gonzalez as Miguel, Gael García Bernal as Héctor, Benjamin Bratt as Ernesto de la Cruz, and Alanna Ulbach as Mamá Imelda. However, her career is so much more than that.
Born in 1933 in Mexico City, Mexico, Murguía was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. She began her career with an appearance in the 1967 television series La Tormenta. She would go on to star in multiple iconic Mexican films, including Mi querido Tom Mix (1992), Life Sentence (1979), The Queen of the Night (1994), and Tear This Heart Out (2008).

Murguía has also won more Best Supporting Actress Ariel Awards, an award recognizing the best in Mexican cinema, with three wins for The Queen of the Night, Los motivos de Luz (1986), and Life Sentence. She has been nominated for a further 14 Ariel Award nominations, including five for Best Actress.

Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI/TPS): The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) reported that Sunday night an Israel Air Force fighter jet successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target that was headed to Israeli territory from the east.
The aerial target was monitored by IDF forces and did not cross into the territory of the State of Israel.
Also, following a warning earlier Sunday about the infiltration of a hostile aircraft in the north of the country, the air control unit identified a suspicious aerial target heading from the territory of Syria towards the territory of the State of Israel.

TikToker Finds Joy in Unexpected Windfall Amid Economic Strain
In a video that has garnered 1.7 million views, a TikTok user, ‘mytranquility_’, shared her surprising discovery of a $20 bill hidden inside a book at Goodwill. The video, aptly titled ‘Check ur books!!’, offered viewers a glimpse into her joy, especially significant given her previously unfortunate day.
Finding Hidden Treasures Amid Economic Strain
Her post quickly became a virtual gathering place for others sharing similar experiences. One user claimed to have found an astounding $1200 in a shirt pocket from the same thrift store. These unexpected windfalls, while modest for some, hold greater significance against the backdrop of rising economic strain in America. The Financial Times recently reported that 76 percent of Americans hold negative views on the economic conditions in the U.S., with 74 percent feeling the impact of escalating food costs.
A Joyful Break from the Mundane
The joy derived from these unplanned monetary discoveries while thrifting at Goodwill, and similar stores, can be likened to winning a small lottery – minus the scratch ticket. It is a momentary reprieve from the monotony of everyday life, and a small win in the face of economic challenges. A study conducted in 2018 by gambling website Casumo.com and reported by The Independent, found that for many, stumbling upon money unexpectedly ranks as the number one small joy in life.
TikTok and the Power of Shared Experiences
Jack Alban, a freelance journalist for the Daily Dot, often writes about trending human-interest stories and social media phenomena, weaving in evidence-based studies and current facts. This viral TikTok video and the ensuing shared experiences in the comment section underscore the power of social media platforms to connect people through shared experiences. The Daily Dot has reached out to both Goodwill and ‘mytranquility_’ for comments on the event.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons had a chance to increase their slim chances of making the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
They failed. And a familiar problem played a major role.
Taylor Heinicke threw three of Atlanta's four interceptions during the Falcons' 37-17 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. He was 10 for 29 for 163 yards in his second straight start after Desmond Ridder was benched for the second time this season.
“Ultimately, when you turn the ball over four times and don't get any takeaways, that's a recipe for a bad result,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said.
Atlanta (7-9) had a chance to move into a tie for the NFC South lead, but it lost for the third time in four games. It stayed in the postseason race thanks to Tampa Bay's 23-13 loss to New Orleans.
The Falcons can still take the division if they win at New Orleans next weekend and the Buccaneers lose or tie at Carolina. There is no pathway to a wild card for Atlanta.
“The fact that we still have a chance going into Week 18, last week of the season, the fact that we're still in that, that's what you want,” Heinicke said. “If someone told us, Week 18 you are going to have a chance to go to the playoffs, you'll take it.”
It remains to be seen if Heinicke will be available for the matchup with the Saints. He was replaced by Ridder with 3:39 left because of a left ankle injury that already had him on the injury report going into Sunday's game. Ridder threw the Falcons' final interception.
Heinicke, who led Atlanta to its best offensive performance this season during a 29-10 win over Indianapolis, had a walking boot on his left leg after the loss at snowy Soldier Field.
“Later, as the game went on, you could tell his ankle was hurting him,” Smith said.
Heinicke was Atlanta's second-leading rusher with four carries for 46 yards, including a 24-yard scramble for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He said he thinks someone stepped on his foot on one of his last passes, causing "a little bit of sharp pain."
“Once you’re in the heat of the battle, the adrenaline kind of takes over and you just go,” he said. “On most of those scrambles I wasn’t feeling it. It was mostly when you get to the sideline or you’re kind of sitting there in the huddle with the cold, it kind of creeps in your mind. Again, I’ve just got to play better.”
Atlanta was down 21-7 when Heinicke threw his first interception of the day — a diving catch by Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards right before halftime. He was picked off by Tyrique Stevenson in the third quarter, and Kyler Gordon was responsible for Heinicke's last interception on a fourth-and-17 pass in the fourth.
Cairo Santos kicked a 42-yard field goal after the Stevenson interception, and Khalil Herbert had a 1-yard TD run after the play by Gordon.
“It’s never one thing,” Smith said of Atlanta's passing game against Chicago. “For me to sit here and try to put blame on one person, that’s not how football works. A lot of things obviously that didn’t go right.”
Atlanta is averaging just 200.8 net yards passing this season and it has thrown 15 interceptions, including 12 in its nine losses.
“We turned the ball over, and we can’t do that, especially this team and how they play and this weather,” Heinicke said. “Can’t give them short fields. Can’t turn the ball over. Got to play clean football.”

Israeli PM says over 100 Palestinian militants killed over past week
By IANS | Published: January 1, 2024 05:51 AM2024-01-01T05:51:01+5:302024-01-01T05:55:06+5:30

Jerusalem, Jan 1 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that in the past week, more than 100 Palestinian militants were killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), with dozens being killed daily.
Netanyahu made the remarks on Sunday at the start of a government meeting at the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, Xinhua news agency reported.
"Last week they (the troops) eliminated over 100 terrorists ... Dozens of terrorists were eliminated on a daily basis, sometimes even more than this. We will eliminate Hamas, bring back our hostages, and win the war," he added.
An IDF statement released later on Sunday showed that Israeli soldiers are continuing to operate in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. The soldiers are coordinating operations with armoured, engineering, and air forces units to locate and destroy infrastructure and kill Palestinian militants in close-quarters combat scenarios.
At the Sunday meeting, talking about the national backing to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Netanyahu noted that nine billion shekels (about $2.5 billion) have been conveyed to the reservists and their families, and the state also supports the reservists' right to be elected.
According to a statement from Israel's Government Press Office, the government on Sunday unanimously approved the signing of an order to postpone local elections until February 27, 2024, which were supposed to be held in October this year.
The postponement was made as 688 reservists, who cannot be discharged, are running in 144 local authorities, said the statement, citing the IDF data.

2024 Unveiled: The Year Ahead in Travel, Gaming, Auto, Music, and More
The upcoming year of 2024 is poised to bring an array of exciting trends across a broad spectrum of industries. From travel and gaming to automotive and music, consumers can look forward to a plethora of new experiences and opportunities.
Travel Trends in 2024
Long haul trips to Peru, an anticipated surge in interest for Turkey as a value holiday destination, and the much-awaited opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum are amongst the key travel trends identified for 2024. A significant boost in tourism is expected following the introduction of new direct flights from Heathrow to Lima, facilitating easier access to iconic Peruvian landmarks like Machu Picchu. Staycations are also expected to gain momentum, with Wales and Scotland emerging as popular locales.
Gaming Industry: Upcoming Releases and Tech Innovations
In the gaming sphere, ‘Star Wars Outlaws’ is set to make waves, despite a lack of a specific release date. Other notable launches include ‘Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’ for PS5 and ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ for multiple platforms. Tech enthusiasts can also anticipate the debut of a fresh Nintendo console. In conjunction with gaming advancements, the tech industry is eagerly awaiting the iPhone 15 and potentially iPhone 16, alongside more affordable Virtual Reality headsets from Meta.
Automotive Industry: Electric Vehicles Take Center Stage
In response to the impending ZEV Mandate, which requires 22% of a car manufacturer’s sales to be electric vehicles (EVs), the automotive industry is preparing for a seismic shift. This shift is expected to drive impressive deals on new EVs, with Honda offering a significant deposit contribution on its new e-Ny1 EV.
Sports Events and Athletes to Watch in 2024
For sports enthusiasts, 2024 brings an array of high-profile events such as the Olympic Games in Paris, the football Euros in Germany, and heavyweight boxing matches. Athletes to watch include diver Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, footballers Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, and boxer Tyson Fury.
Music Trends: Tours and New Albums
Music trends for 2024 include Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ tour, Olivia Rodrigo’s concerts, and the reunion tour of Girls Aloud in tribute to the late Sarah Harding. Fans can also anticipate new albums from Paloma Faith, Sir Rod Stewart, and The Libertines.
Books to Add to Your Reading List in 2024
Book enthusiasts can look forward to a range of new releases in 2024. From memoirs like RuPaul’s ‘The House of Hidden Meanings: A Memoir,’ to crime thrillers like Anthony Horowitz’s ‘Close to Death,’ there’s something for every taste. Other notable releases include Marian Keyes’s ‘My Favourite Mistake,’ and Nadhim Zahawi’s ‘The Boy From Baghdad.’

Hunter Biden laptop repairman John Paul Mac Isaac’s home ‘swatted’
The Delaware computer repairman who went public with the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop says his home was “swatted” Friday night.
“My home was swatted tonight, I was not home but the outstanding men and women of the Wilmington PD responded quickly and professionally,” John Paul Mac Isaac posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, on Dec. 29. “All that was achieved was the wasted time of the Wilmington PD. NOTHING, let me repeat that, NOTHING will take me out of this fight! Cheers!”
Swatting is the act of making a false report to emergency services to prompt a response at a particular address. The goal is to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to show up.
The Wilmington Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for information about the swatting call at Mac Isaac’s home.
HUNTER BIDEN ARRIVES FOR DEPOSITION IN LAWSUIT FROM LAPTOP REPAIR SHOP OWNER
Hundreds of swatting cases occur annually, with some using caller ID spoofing to disguise their number.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows have been among the recent victims, AP states.
The FBI said earlier this year that it had created a national database in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies to track swatting incidents nationwide. Police had for months reported a huge surge in fake claims about active shooters at schools and colleges. There have also been reports of hundreds of swatting incidents and bomb threats against synagogues and other Jewish institutions since the Israel-Hamas war began.
Suspects in swatting cases are being arrested and charged as states contemplate stronger penalties.

Mac Isaac filed a defamation lawsuit against Biden in October 2022. Biden filed a counterclaim in March, alleging Mac Isaac illicitly distributed Biden’s personal data and accused him of six counts of invasion of privacy.
Mac Isaac claims a man whom he believed to be Biden dropped off three laptops at his store in 2019, and did not return for the laptop within 90 days, rendering the laptop abandoned per store policy.
Mac Isaac could not get in touch with the customer, and said he first searched the emails by keyword in June or July 2019.
Fox News’ Yael Halon, Anders Hagstrom and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trae Young had 40 points and 13 assists, Dejounte Murray added 32 points and the Atlanta Hawks overcame a slow start and spotty late foul shooting to beat the Washington Wizards 130-126 on Sunday.
Jalen Johnson scored a career-high 24 points and had 13 rebounds on a day when four Hawks finished with double-doubles to help their team remain unbeaten against the Wizards this season.
Clint Capela had 11 points and 17 rebounds. Saddiq Bey had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
“It’s up to me and (Dejounte) to put guys into positions to be successful,” Young said. ”We just try to mix it up and let everybody show their talent."
Atlanta outrebounded Washington 58-42 and snapped a four-game slide. The game narrowed late only because the Hawks shot poorly from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter.
“I missed five free throws tonight, which is crazy,” said Young, who finished 14 of 19 from the line. “That allowed them to stay in the game.”
Kyle Kuzma scored 38 points and hit seven 3-pointers for Washington, which was trying to secure its first consecutive wins of the season.
Four of Kuzma's 3s came in the first quarter as the Wizards sprinted to an early 17-4 lead only to give it back before the period ended.
He finished with 18 attempts from beyond the arc while the Wizards took 53 total, both of which were franchise records.
“Honestly, the vast majority of them were pretty good,” Washington coach Wes Unseld Jr. said of those shots. “It's just finding that balance of great shots, open 3s, versus when you're not making them, get to the paint, create something downhill.”
Deni Advija had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Wizards, who completed a four-game homestand with one victory.
The Hawks took the lead for good in the second quarter and closed the first half on an 18-6 run.
Washington briefly got within two in the third before Murray scored 10 points to help Atlanta answer with a 15-3 sequence. His last basket, a 3-pointer off Young's 11th assist, stretched it to 98-84 with 1:32 left in the third.
The lead was 123-108 after Young hit a 3 with 2:16 remaining. From there Atlanta made only 7 of 14 foul shots, which combined with quick Washington baskets to make for some late nervy moments.
“The end of the game became a little bit of an adventure,” said Atlanta coach Quin Snyder. “But I don't want that to detract from the things that we did for the majority of the game.”

'Nothing Prepares You For It': The Volunteers Collecting Human Remains From Hamas Massacre
By ANI | Published: January 1, 2024 05:54 AM2024-01-01T05:54:55+5:302024-01-01T05:55:04+5:30
Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI/TPS): "We'd walk into a room full of blood and see no sign of ...
Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI/TPS): "We'd walk into a room full of blood and see no sign of shooting or bombing. There, Hamas terrorists didn't use a gun to kill their victims; they used an axe to chop them into pieces," said Simcha Greiniman, a volunteer emergency responder with the ZAKA organisation.
Since Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 people in Israel, 800 ZAKA volunteers have worked around the clock to recover the remains of the dead.
"I am there every day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to make sure that these families get the closure they need to properly mourn their loved ones," the 47 year-old Greiniman told the Tazpit Press Service.
Founded in 1995, ZAKA deals with instances of unnatural death, and works in close cooperation with emergency services and security forces. Over 3,000 ZAKA volunteers are currently deployed cross the country, on call 24/7, to respond to terror attacks, accidents or natural disasters.
Greiniman has been volunteering for ZAKA for the past 32 years and oversees groups in charge of conducting Chesed Shel Emes, honoring the dead by bringing bodies to burial, which is considered one of the greatest commandments in Judaism.
"In the Bible, there is a special need to make sure bodies get a proper burial and that no part, not even blood samples or small bones, are left behind," explained Greiniman.
As part of ZAKA International, Greiniman has volunteered both in Israel and overseas in scenarios ranging from natural disasters to accidents and terror attacks. In recent years, ZAKA International flew to Haiti, India, Turkey and Morocco.
During the Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York City, Greiniman sat at the airport for two weeks waiting to get approval from the United States to assist emergency teams on site.
"This time, it happened in our backyard. Hundreds of people who supported Palestinians by giving them a place to work, taking them to hospitals, were massacred in their homes and captured into Gaza" on Oct. 7, said Greiniman.
He recalled one instance in which he entered a house and on the living room table found a birthday cake.
"A cake is supposed to be something happy. But we didn't come to eat cake, we came to take care of bodies," said Greiniman.
"My eyes went looking for pictures of the family who lived in that house and who should have been celebrating," he added.
Greiniman described a very strong smell of burnt flesh emanating from the house's safe room. When he turned on his flashlight upon entering the pitch-dark room, he found charred remains.
"Everything was connected, glued together. At the top, there were three adult-sized skulls and at the bottom two small skulls attached," Greiniman told TPS. "They were burnt to death while hugging each otherit was extremely hard to take them apart."
Later, Greiniman deduced that these were the skulls of two children, their parents and grandmother, who all lived in the house.
"When we took out the bodies, we had to walk by that cake every single time," he recalled.
He recalled another house which had been burnt to the ground on Oct. 7. In one of the rooms, the ceiling had collapsed and cement was covering the floor.
"In the cement, I saw a lump. Underneath, there was a dead child who was about five years old," he said.
"In a separate room, I found the skull of another young child with the metal part of a hammer still attached to it. The wooden part of the hammer had burned [away]. Every house has a story," he added.
Collecting human remains from a house into which Hamas terrorists lobbed grenades could take up to 18 hours, especially if more than one person had hidden in the same room, Greiniman explained. Once collected, the body parts are sent to a special morgue for DNA testing.
"Nothing prepares you for it," he said. "I have dealt with blown-up buses, restaurants, hotels and butchered synagogues, but seeing hundreds of bodies at a rave laying in a field... you can't ever train yourself to be ready for that," he continued, in reference to the Supernova Music Festival, where some 360 revelers were slaughtered on Oct. 7.
Greiniman told TPS that he had been shocked to hear people deny Hamas's crimes against humanity, a phenomenon he chalked up to antisemitism.
To raise awareness of the massacres, Greiniman spoke at United Nations headquarters in New York City on Dec. 5. In 2005, the United Nations recognized ZAKA an international humanitarian organization, and in 2016, the U.N. Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations granted ZAKA Search and Rescue advisory status as an official body.
"I was the one who took out the bodies; I could not let anyone deny these crimes, especially as a volunteer for ZAKA, which the U.N. officially recognizes," said Greiniman.
"I came into houses and saw women naked from their stomach down leaning over their own beds, with their hands tied behind their backs and bleeding from different areas," he said.
"It if had happened anywhere else in the world, humanity would be screaming for justice," he added. "I invite whoever denies what we have dealt with to come and let me personally walk them around the scenes, show them what happened and where it happened," he added.
While ZAKA generally refrains from photographing the deceased out of respect for their privacy, Greiniman was told by his commanders after two days in the field to take pictures as evidence of the horror.
Nearly three months after the attacks, ZAKA's work to identify the bodies is far from complete.
"Bodies were burned so badly that no bone marrow or teeth were left to cross-reference for DNA purposes," Greiniman explained.
After 9/11, the U.S. built a special device to recover DNA from the ashes of the World Trade Center buildings. While Israel is working on a similar machine, ZAKA is currently sending samples to America to identify some remains.
"You can't give up. There are families who can't carry on living without knowing what happened to their loved ones, thinking they might be held in Gaza," said Greiniman. "We understand how important our work is for the Jewish nation and the Jewish people around the world. We are not going to stop until those bodies are in the right place and until those families are at peace knowing their loved ones are buried there." (ANI/TPS)

India Ushers in 2024 with Grand New Year Celebrations
As the world prepares to bid adieu to 2023, India is ablaze with grand New Year celebrations. From the metropolitan hubs to the quaint hill stations, cities across the country are dazzling with brilliant lights and colorful decorations, creating a festive spectacle that is drawing in tourists from near and far.
Urban Revelry and Traffic Regulations
In the bustling city of Mumbai, the police have issued detailed traffic restrictions and parking prohibitions for New Year’s Eve celebrations in various parts of the city, including Juhu, Gateway of India, Marine Drive, and Bandra Reclamation Road. These restrictions, in effect from December 31, 2023, to January 1, 2024, aim to ensure smooth traffic flow and pedestrian safety. Citizens attending the celebrations have been provided with alternative routes and designated parking spots, ensuring a night of revelry doesn’t turn into a traffic nightmare.
Embracing the New Year with Pomp and Show
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has rallied the nation to continue its momentum into 2024. The lingering threat of the coronavirus, which had dampened previous New Year’s celebrations, seems to have waned significantly. As India prepares to usher in a year that will see pivotal global events – from the world’s biggest election exercises in India, the United States, and Russia, to prominent sporting events like the 2024 Paris Olympics and the T20 Cricket World Cup – the nation’s enthusiasm is palpable.
Safety Measures for Seamless Celebrations
Taking cognizance of the mass gatherings, traffic police in Bengaluru and Nagpur have issued special guidelines and orders to ensure safety during the New Year celebrations. In Gurgaon and Mumbai, elaborate security arrangements have been put in place for peaceful celebrations. In a time marked by excitement and anticipation, these measures serve as a reassurance that safety isn’t being compromised in the whirl of celebrations.

Cranberry And Pecan Chicken Salad Recipe
It's always a good idea to have some chicken salad on hand. Not only does it make a fast and filling lunch between slices of bread, it is also a great snack when piled onto crackers. It's easy to make, too, and can be stored for up to five days, making it a good option for quick meal prep. A classic chicken salad typically includes celery, red onion, and plenty of mayo. Some might include grapes for a touch of sweetness, while others have almonds for extra crunch.
This chicken salad recipe written with developer Michelle McGlinn utilizes tart dried cranberries and nutty pecans for a wintery spin on the classic. Dried cranberries aren't as bitter as they are fresh, and instead add a subtle sweetness to the chicken salad that works well with the salty, crunchy pecans. The best part of this recipe is that it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, thanks to a finely shredded rotisserie chicken. Lunch (or dinner) in less than 10 minutes? Yes please.
Gather the ingredients for cranberry and pecan chicken salad
To bring this chicken salad together, you'll need rotisserie chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, scallions, salt, pepper, dried cranberries, and pecans. Look for pecans that are toasted and salted for a better, deeper flavor, and be sure to grab the raisiny, wrinkled dried cranberries to avoid an overly tart (and alarmingly red) chicken salad.
Step 1: Add ingredients to a bowl
Add all ingredients to a large bowl.
Step 2: Combine
Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3: Season and serve
Season with extra salt and pepper as desired, then serve.
What can I use in chicken salad if I don't have rotisserie chicken?
Rotisserie chicken is a great thing to have on hand if you value convenience — it can be pulled apart and used for sandwiches, salads, soups, and stir fries, and you can even use the bones to make stock afterwards. This saves you some time during dinner prep, offering a shortcut that saves you from cooking any chicken. For a similar shortcut, you can also buy pre-cooked chicken strips and cut them into small pieces to use for chicken salad.
Premade chicken, while convenient, isn't the only option for this chicken salad. For that similar juicy texture, we love roasting a whole fryer chicken, then using the breast meat for chicken salad and saving the rest for other recipes like chicken noodle soup. You can also make a quicker homemade version by browning cubed chicken breasts in a skillet or boiling until easily shreddable.
What can I serve with cranberry pecan chicken salad?
Our favorite way to enjoy chicken salad is piled onto crackers, especially during the holidays when appetizers are on the mind. This chicken salad works well on plain water crackers, but is especially delicious on crackers that have dried fig, cranberry, or grape and a hint of seeds or nuts. The texture and subtle sweetness works well with the creamy cranberry chicken salad. You can also serve this chicken salad as a sandwich between slices of bread or spooned into an open croissant.
If you're serving this as part of an appetizer spread, pair it with similarly sweet-but-rich snacks like stuffed dates, caramelized onion dip, and goat cheese pinwheels. If serving chicken salad as a sandwich for lunch, pair with crispy homemade potato chips (great for scooping extra chicken salad with), or make it a soup-and-salad combo and pair with a creamy autumnal soup like butternut squash or roasted garlic.
- 1 pound shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 3 chopped scallions
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Season with extra salt and pepper as desired, then serve.

(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
- Registration fees
Can I Finance My Lease Buyout?
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.

Cardinals shock Eagles on the road to drastically alter NFC playoff picture
The three-win Arizona Cardinals absolutely stunned the Philadelphia Eagles on the road, as James Conner scored the game-winning touchdown with just seconds left in the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon.
The Cardinals, coached by former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, are not in the NFC playoff picture. But the 35-31 win had a huge effect on seeding, as the San Francisco 49ers now have the No. 1 seed locked up because of the Eagles’ loss and their own win over the Washington Commanders.
The Eagles are still in the running for the No. 2 seed, but the Dallas Cowboys, who defeated the Detroit Lions on Saturday night, have a chance to win the NFC East to claim that seed next week.

Arizona was down 21-6 when the second half began, but Kyler Murray got the drive he needed from his offense right away.
They went 10 plays and 75 yards downfield, where running back Michael Carter caught a pass and barreled his way into the end zone to cut into the Philly lead.
Then, after getting a quick three-and-out from Jalen Hurts & Co., Murray led yet another touchdown drive. This time it was Conner catching a short pass from Murray for a five-yard score and there was a successful two-point conversion to tie the game at 21 apiece.

Hurts, knowing he needed to get something going, orchestrated a touchdown drive of his own. On the 13th play of it, he scrambled right and found his tight end, Dallas Goedert, to take the lead once again.
But the Cardinals weren’t going to let that slide. Murray, on fourth-and-4, found Michael Wilson on a slant route for a five-yard touchdown to keep Arizona in the game.
A Philadelphia field goal would come on the ensuing drive, and the Cardinals had the opportunity to take the lead with a touchdown. It took eight plays and 77 yards for that Conner touchdown to break the goal line.
Hurts would throw an interception on a final Hail Mary play, and everyone at Lincoln Financial Field couldn’t believe what they just witnessed.
Murray finished the game with three touchdowns passes and one interception with 232 yards on 25-of-31 through the air, while also rushing for 24 yards. Conner had 128 yards on the ground with one rushing touchdown and one receiving.
For the Eagles, Hurts was just 18-of-23 for 167 yards, but had three touchdowns, two of which went to Julio Jones, which came on his only two catches of the game.

The Eagles will now head to East Rutherford in the final week of the regular season next Sunday, hoping they can defeat the New York Giants and the Cowboys lose to the Commanders to retain that No. 2 seed.

Unveiling ‘John Doe’: The Dual Life and Demise of Eugene Martinez
On Christmas morning, a previously unidentified man was found deceased on Regent Street in Belize. The identity of the man, previously known as ‘John Doe,’ has been revealed as 44-year-old Eugene Martinez. A man of contrast, Eugene Martinez was a figure who battled with mental illness and addiction, walking a thin line between affability and aggression.
Unveiling the Dual Nature of Eugene Martinez
Throughout his life, Eugene Martinez grappled with a dual nature. His family described him as a man who could be incredibly friendly and kind one moment, only to turn violent and nearly homicidal the next. This erratic behavior was, in part, due to the severe mental illness that he struggled with, as well as his addiction to marijuana and crack cocaine.
Battles with Mental Illness and Addiction
Eugene Martinez’s struggles with mental illness and addiction were far from hidden. He had a history of receiving treatment at both the Rockview and Palmview Medical Centers. His addiction to marijuana and crack cocaine was a constant battle, a struggle that added to the complexity of his mental health issues and contributed to his unpredictable behavior.
The Tragic End: Collapsed Lungs and No Foul Play
In a tragic turn of events, Eugene Martinez’s life came to an abrupt end. Doctors have confirmed that his death was the result of his lungs collapsing. Despite the circumstances surrounding his death, the authorities have indicated that there is no suspicion of foul play. The family has been informed of the cause of his death and the absence of any criminal involvement. The life and demise of Eugene Martinez serve as a stark reminder of the devastating impacts of mental health issues and addiction.

Backup SQL Server on Linux Databases using SQL Server Agent on Windows
By: Pablo Echeverria | Updated: 2023-12-14 | Comments | Related: More > SQL Server on Linux
Problem
In this tip, we're going to look at the steps to backup SQL Server on Linux databases and copy the backups to a Windows server. The backups could just be moved for storing on a different server or restored to SQL Server running on Windows.
Solution
Follow these steps to implement how to backup SQL Server on Linux databases.
Create the SQL Server Login on Linux Server
We will create a SQL Server login on the Linux server and give it permission to backup certain databases.
Create a SQL Server login named backupuser with a strong password but without a password expiration:
We will give this login the db_backupoperator role for all databases that we want it to backup. In this example we are setting this role for the master and msdb databases since these are the two databases we will use for this example, but you would want to do this for all databases.
Other permissions needed for the login are VIEW SERVER STATE and VIEW ANY DEFINITION, so we grant them manually:
GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO backupuser; GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO backupuser;
The user is ready to take backups, but it will create them in a folder where the default Linux user, "mssql," has permissions.
Configure the Linux Folder and User
Next we will make sure that the SQL Server login has Linux folder permissions to create the database backups.
In Linux, there are three levels of permissions: owner, group, and others. We don't want to use the default "mssql" user because it is the SA. Thus, we will create a folder where the default Linux user "mssql" has owner permissions, and a new user named "backupuser" will have group permissions.
First, let's create the new group and user:
groupadd backupgroup useradd -g backupgroup -rm backupuser passwd backupuser
- The first command creates a new group named "backupgroup."
- The second command creates the user named "backupuser," who belongs to the group "backupgroup." The "-rm" flag is to create it as a service account but to create the home directory, which will be necessary.
- The third command sets the user password, and you will be prompted to write it two times.
Now, we're going to create the backup folder with the appropriate permissions:
mkdir /var/opt/backup chown -R mssql:backupgroup /var/opt/backup chmod -R 760 /var/opt/backup chmod g+srwx /var/opt/backup
- The first command creates the folder.
- The second command sets the owner as the default Linux user "mssql" and the group owner as the new group "backupgroup."
- The third command changes the folder permissions so that the owner has all permissions, the group has read/write only, and no one else has permissions.
- The last command sets newly created file permissions so that the file owner will always be the group and not the creator.
Now, make sure OpenSSH is installed in Linux. If not, follow these instructions to install and configure it, making sure "PubkeyAuthentication" is enabled.
Setup the Necessary Permissions in Windows
Next, we will work on the Windows server and setup the necessary components to read from the Linux server.
First, make sure you have OpenSSH installed, open a PowerShell console, and type "ssh"; if it's installed, it will show you the command usage. If it's not installed, it will tell you. Follow the instructions on how to install it in Windows 11 on your local machine, and follow the instructions on how to install it in Windows Server 2016 on the server where the scheduled job will be created.
Once installed, you need to create a keypair using this command:
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa
It will prompt you for the file location and passphrase. Press "enter" to accept the defaults, and note the location of the files, in my case: "C:\users\pecheverria\.ssh\".
Once generated, you need to connect to the Linux server with the following command (replace this IP with the one off your Linux server):
It will show you the server fingerprint. Once confirmed, enter "yes" and press "enter." Then type the password of the newly created user "backupuser":
At this point, in the user's ssh folder, you will have three files, as follows:
These files need to be copied from your user's folder, in my case, "pecheverria," to the service account which runs the SQL Server Agent. So, if your service account is named "agent.mssql," go to "C:\users\agent.mssql". Windows will prompt you that you don't have access permission to this folder and to click "continue" to gain permanent access to it. Click "continue" and paste the whole ".ssh" folder from your username here.
SSH is a strong, secure protocol that won't allow the service account to connect if someone else has access to this ".ssh" folder. So, you must:
- Change ownership of each individual file; instead of your user, it must be the service account.
- Change ownership of the .ssh folder; instead of your user, it must be the service account.
- Remove your user from the list of users with permission to the ".ssh" folder and all its child items.
These three steps are explained in this link. Once done, you can continue in the Linux console opened previously.
Setup Passwordless Authentication to Linux from Windows
Now that you're logged in, generate the keypair similarly to how it was done locally:
Once complete, you will have a ".ssh" folder with appropriate permissions. Here, you need to create a new file. Navigate to this folder with the command:
cd .ssh
Open the file with Notepad named "id_ecdsa.pub" on your local machine. It will start with something like "ecdsa-sha2-nistp256" followed by a key. Copy everything, and then, in Linux, type this command:
vi authorized_keys
Then press the "i" key to insert the text and paste the text you copied earlier, making sure nothing is missed. Then, press the "Esc" key to stop inserting text. Type ":x" and press "enter" to save the file.
Now, the permissions need to be set securely, so type the following command:
chmod 600 authorized_keys
Once done, you won't have to type the password of the user "backupuser" every time you ssh into this Linux machine.
Create the SQL Server Agent Job
The next step is to setup a SQL Server Agent Job on the Windows server that will do the following:
- Delete old backup files on the Linux server
- Create the backups on the Linux machine
- Copy the backups from the Linux machine to the Windows server.
The SQL Server Agent job will have three steps, which are described below.
Step 1: Delete Old Files
PowerShell code to delete old files:
powershell.exe -command "cd C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\; .\ssh [email protected] 'rm -rf /var/opt/backup/*.bak'"
If you installed OpenSSH manually, change the location to "C:\Progra~1\OpenSSH-Win64\" or the folder where you installed it. Also, change the IP to the one of your Linux server.
Step 2: Backup All Databases
PowerShell code to backup all databases:
sqlcmd -S'192.168.1.2' -Ubackupuser -P'yourpassword' -Q @" DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @path VARCHAR(128) DECLARE @date VARCHAR(10) SET @cmd = '' SET @path='/var/opt/backup/' SET @date=CONVERT(NVARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),112) SELECT @cmd = @cmd + 'BACKUP DATABASE '+[name]+' TO DISK='''+@path+'Linux_'+[name]+'_'+@date+'.bak'';' FROM [sys].[databases] WHERE [name] NOT IN ('model', 'tempdb'); EXEC (@cmd) "@
Change the IP to the one of your Linux server and the password to the one you assigned in the database server to the "backupuser."
This is intended to do a full backup once every day, so it only appends the date to the backup filename. If you will be doing hourly log backups, change the @date assignment to the following:
SET @date=replace(convert(varchar, getdate(), 101),'/','') + replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),108),':','')
And change the @cmd assignment to the following:
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + 'BACKUP LOG '+[name]+' TO DISK='''+@path+'Linux_'+[name]+'_log_'+@date+'.bak'';' FROM [sys].[databases] WHERE [name] NOT IN ('model', 'tempdb');
Step 3: Copy Remote Files
PowerShell code to copy remote files:
powershell.exe -command "cd C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\; .\scp [email protected]:/var/opt/backup/*.bak D:\BackUp\Full"
If you installed OpenSSH manually, change the location to "C:\Progra~1\OpenSSH-Win64\" or the folder where you installed it. Also, change the destination of the files to the folder where you will keep them.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — In a sport long defined by its coaching giants, Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh are among the few larger-than-life figures still standing.
Saban has won six national championships at Alabama, establishing the most successful program of the 21st century. Harbaugh has completely revitalized his alma mater, reaching three straight College Football Playoffs at Michigan with style and controversy.
They’ll face off on opposite sidelines for only the second time Monday in the Rose Bowl. The Crimson Tide (12-1) take on the Wolverines (13-0) in a tantalizing CFP semifinal pitting the two winningest schools in major college football.
In no small part because of the coaching matchup, this 110th edition of the Granddaddy of Them All is also one of the most anticipated games in the 10-year history of the playoff, with the winner headed to Houston next week to face Washington or Texas for a title.
Yet to varying degrees, Saban and Harbaugh both reflect the truism that the price of incredible success is an inability to enjoy it, at least while it's happening.
While both coaches have been gracious throughout their public appearances in Southern California, the magnitude of this showdown clearly weighs on their shoulders.
“I don’t reminisce much about what’s happened in the past,” Saban said Sunday before posing stiffly with the Rose Bowl trophy and an equally formal Harbaugh. “I’m kind of looking forward to today, and the next day.”
After a perfect regular season in which he got to attend only half of the games because of a pair of three-game suspensions, Harbaugh has been his usual exuberant self at the Rose Bowl, whether riding in a horse-drawn carriage at Disneyland or giving a humorous scouting report on Jesus ("He would have been a five-star player, no doubt about it. He would have been a Hall of Fame coach.").
But the archetypal Michigan Man also spoke solemnly about the motivation he'll impart to his players. While Harbaugh has achieved his goal to restore the Wolverines as a powerhouse, they have yet to win a CFP game (0-2).
“What it means is that your players know what it’s like to be a champion,” Harbaugh said. “That’s the special feeling. Their parents know what it’s like to have a son or a brother or a grandson who’s a champion. ... It’s for all them, and all that we’re associated with.”
Saban has known Harbaugh's family since the 1970s, when Saban was an up-and-coming defensive assistant who got tips from Michigan secondary coach Jack Harbaugh, Jim’s dad.
They coached against each other in the 2020 Citrus Bowl, with Alabama beating Michigan 35-16 to cap the only season in a seven-year stretch in which the Tide weren't in the playoff. Harbaugh's ballyhooed rebuilding of the Wolverines appeared to be a failure at that point — but after the abbreviated 2020 season, Michigan has soared to a 38-3 record in the past three years.
“There were just some really dark days that we had to get through,” said Michigan offensive lineman Trevor Keegan, who was there. "After the season, coach Harbaugh sent us a long email saying we’re going to change this program together. And our first team meeting, it was either you get on the train and we’re moving, or you’re getting off. Ever since then, we’ve been working our tails off to get where we are and have the success that we’ve had.”
Alabama hasn't gone more than three seasons between national championships in Saban's 17-year tenure, but the Tide need to win this one to keep the streak alive. Saban is also back at the venerable stadium where he won his first national title for Alabama, beating Texas in 2010.
Most observers agree Saban did one of the most impressive coaching jobs of his career this year. After getting two new coordinators in the offseason, Saban revitalized a team that stumbled in September and led it to 11 consecutive wins and an SEC title.
“We had some really good rat poison early,” Saban said, referring to his preferred name for outside noise. “It was almost like Wheaties, because everybody criticized us and said we weren’t any good, and we were done, and Coach Saban is past his prime and all that. It was like eating Wheaties, ‘Breakfast of Champions.’ That helped us.”
LAST CHAPTER?
Behind the excitement is the quiet possibility that this could be the last game at his school for whichever famed coach loses.
Saban is 72, and retirement rumors have circulated throughout college football's back channels in recent months. Saban has shrugged it off publicly with humor.
“Yeah, I’ve heard them before,” Saban said. “I think when you get my age, everybody is waiting for you to — you know.”
And with NCAA investigators circling Harbaugh and the Wolverines, few will be surprised if the 60-year-old Harbaugh elects to return to the NFL. If Michigan wins a national title as punctuation, it would make even more sense.
BIG FINISHES
The Tide are in the CFP for the eighth time in 10 years, while Michigan has its third consecutive berth.
Alabama got here by surviving the Iron Bowl on Jalen Milroe's miraculous touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond on fourth-and-31 before upsetting two-time defending national champion Georgia, which had won 29 straight, in the SEC title game.
Michigan steamrolled into the playoff with its first No. 1 ranking since 1997, beating Ohio State in The Game and blanking Iowa in the Big Ten title game.
ALABAMA'S OFFENSE
Milroe has grown into the Tide's starting job since getting benched for a week in September, and Michigan must protect against both his arm and his legs. Milroe has a knack for big plays — none bigger than his 31-yard TD pass on fourth down to beat Auburn last month.
Leading rusher Jase McClellan is expected back after he missed the SEC title game, while Milroe can throw to big-play receivers Isaiah Bond and Jermaine Burton.
MICHIGAN'S OFFENSE
J.J. McCarthy is a polished passer who put up 2,630 yards and 19 TDs against four interceptions with a wealth of talented targets, including 500-yard receivers Roman Wilson, tight end Colston Loveland and Cornelius Johnson. Blake Corum is a standout rusher with 1,028 yards and 24 TDs.
LONG TIME COMING
Michigan is making its 21st Rose Bowl Game appearance, more than any school except USC — but its first since 2007, reflecting the program's struggles before Harbaugh.
Alabama hasn't played in a Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena since 1946. Saban's Tide won the 2021 Rose Bowl, which was played in Texas because of COVID-19 safety concerns.

Karachi [Pakistan], January 1 : Karachi celebrates the start of 2024 with celebratory aerial gunfire, leaving 11 people injured in several parts of the city, according to ARY News.
Following the nation's New Year's festivities, Karachi police issued a warning to those celebrating by threatening to prosecute them for acts of terrorism, including aerial fire.
According to police officials, s seven-year-old child was injured in the aerial firing in Bahadurabad, which is one of the neighbourhoods of Gulshan Town, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
Meanwhile, three people sustained injuries at Five Star Chowrangi, two others at Seaview and one each in Liaquat Abad and North Nazimabad, ARY News reported.
The charges of attempted murder and terrorism will be included in the cases filed against individuals responsible for the New Year's Eve aerial firing, Karachi Police Chief Khadim Hussain Rind said, according to ARY News.
To prevent aerial firing, he also emphasised the need for search operations, notifications at marketplaces and mosques, and the promotion of constructive police acts on social media to offset any bad effects.
In addition, the police commander gave his subordinates orders to arrest drivers who had consumed alcohol, particularly DIG Iqbal Dara, the chief of traffic police.
Meanwhile, Karachi has implemented a two-day total prohibition on the use of pyrotechnics, aerial gunfire, and the carrying or displaying of firearms.

Transform Instant Ramen Into A Veggie-Packed Meal With Bagged Broccoli Slaw
For folks short on budget, instant ramen can be a lifesaver. It's a warm, comforting, and filling meal anyone can make in a pinch. Thanks to the provided flavor packet, it's also pretty tasty, if scant in essential nutrients.
However, it's easy to make it into a more nutritious bowl. There are inexpensive ways to spruce up instant ramen, such as topping it with crispy baked tofu to give it a protein boost. A bag of pre-cut produce like broccoli slaw also makes a great addition. Not only is the slaw a great source of nutrients, but the carrot sticks and broccoli florets also add a nice crunch as you slurp the noodles. While the taste of the veggies may be too subtle to make a big difference in the soup's flavor, they infuse some much-needed freshness into the dish.
Adding broccoli slaw doesn't require much work since the vegetables already come pre-cut. Prepare the instant ramen as you typically would: Let the water and powdered soup base boil, then add the dried noodles. Follow it with the broccoli slaw and let the veggies cook. Finding the right timing might take practice; broccoli and carrots take some time to cook and soften. You also don't want the noodles to become soggy from over-boiling. Ingredients like sliced cabbage can be added before serving since it cooks more quickly.
Make homemade seasoned broth for instant ramen
Aside from bagged broccoli slaw, you can also defrost and drain frozen vegetables to make a nutritious, texture-enhancing topping for instant ramen. Fresh bok choy is another fantastic vegetable option since its leaves take only a few minutes of boiling to cook. Still, even with the addition of veggies, instant ramen isn't always the best choice for people who are watching their sodium intake.
Instead, ditch the flavor packet and season the soup with the flavoring agents in your pantry. Start by making a sauce out of soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add it to boiling water with a spoonful of miso paste, then let everything combine before adding the noodles. Thai curry paste is also good if you feel like having spicy ramen. Adding peanut butter to instant ramen elevates this dish by making the soup nutty and creamy. By making homemade broth, you can control the levels of flavor you infuse into the final product.
Before serving or chowing down on your upgraded instant ramen, some finishing touches can make it look and taste more decadent. Drizzle toasted sesame oil for a touch of nutty sweetness. If you have some leftover chicken, pork, or beef in the fridge, chop them into tasty toppings. A last-minute splash of lemon juice can enhance savory flavors, too. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped scallions to make your ramen look fancier than usual.

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.

Former Liverpool favourite Daniel Agger claims he emphatically snubbed a move to Manchester City shortly before he departed Anfield.
The Danish defender, 39, became a cult hero during his eight-year stay on Merseyside and was part of the team which came agonisingly close to winning the Premier League title during the 2013/14 campaign under Brendan Rodgers.
Agger would move back to his former club, Brondby, shortly after the disappointment of missing out on the title. But he came close to leaving Liverpool in 2012 - and it was one of the Reds' biggest rivals who made a play to prise the centre-back away.
With Agger's contract expiring, both Manchester City and Barcelona chased his signature. But he's since revealed that he never had any intention of joining Liverpool's domestic rivals.
Speaking on the Aldo Meets Podcast, Agger said: "It was a strange one. I remember I got presented for all these things and the club asked me what I was going to do and I said, ‘If you want me here, I will stay’.
“But I said, ‘If you don’t want me, if you don’t see me as part of your future I think it’s time that I go because I want to play football. I prefer to do it here but if you don’t think I’m good enough then I would like to go because these offers are on the table and I don’t know if I will have them next year'.
“I don’t know the story from their side, I think they agreed a price (with Barcelona) and they accepted it and came to me and said, ‘This is it’. I said, ‘Okay, fair enough’. But then from the side, another offer came in which was a lot higher, which they accepted and I didn’t want to go to that club.”
Join the debate! What are your favourite memories of Agger, Liverpool fans? Let us know here.
Agger, who went on to confirm the club in question was Manchester City later in the podcast, then revealed he told Liverpool that he would only join Barcelona.
He continued: “I said, ‘If you want to sell me I go down there (to Barcelona) otherwise I don’t go’. And another offer came in from the same club (Man City), higher, and my feeling was that the club wanted me to go because it was a lot of money back then. I said, ‘There’s no chance I’m going to that club, so better just stop now’.”
After falling out of favour under Brendan Rodgers, Agger returned to his native Denmark in the summer of 2014. He made 232 appearances in total for Liverpool.

Howell’s interception-filled season continues with two more in Washington’s loss to San Francisco
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — After thinking he lost his job as the Washington Commanders’ starting quarterback, Sam Howell was back on the field Sunday doing what he has been doing a lot of lately: throwing interceptions.
With Jacoby Brissett sidelined by a hamstring injury that popped up late in the week, Howell threw two more picks in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The second-year pro has thrown the most interceptions in the NFL this season with 19, and those mistakes continue to overshadow any of the progress he might have made.
Howell said he didn’t know until about two hours before the game that he would be playing. He finished 17 of 28 for 169 yards.
“I didn’t get much work in practice, but I’ve gotten work all season long,” Howell said. “I feel prepared even when I didn’t get the reps this week.”
Howell made some strong throws, but the interceptions were clearly on him. He was sacked for a league-leading 61st time, and it didn’t help when Washington (4-12) fell behind and was in obvious passing situations for much of the second half.
“Early on, when things were balanced, it was one of those things that the situation gave him the opportunity and he performed,” coach Ron Rivera said. “I thought he made some good decisions, threw some really good balls. Obviously there were a couple throws I promise you he would wished he had back, but he did a lot of good things.”
Rivera announced Wednesday the Commanders would be turning to Brissett after pulling Howell from each of the previous two games. Brissett’s hamstring was still tight, according to Rivera, leading to Howell getting the nod instead, with Jake Fromm elevated from the practice squad to back up.
With one game left against Dallas next weekend — one that could decide the NFC East between the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles — Rivera was not yet ready to say who might start for Washington, which could pick as high as second in the draft.
It’s likely to be Rivera’s final game with the organization after four seasons, with new ownership poised to make major changes. But the veteran coach isn’t ready to give up on Howell having a future in the league.
“I still think he has that opportunity to be that guy,” Rivera said. “I believe he’s a guy that can be very, very good in this league. There’s some things he still has to grow on, obviously, and we can be better and help him, as well.”

Commanders’ Christian Holmes collapses to turf in scary scene vs 49ers
A scary moment came during the Washington Commanders-San Francisco 49ers game on Sunday as Commanders cornerback Christian Holmes suddenly collapsed to the turf after a play.
After an offensive play from the 49ers in the red zone, Holmes was conversing with former Commander Trent Williams, who is the left tackle for San Fran.
But once that conversation was over, Holmes fell down to the ground and trainers immediately ran his way.

Holmes was moving, taking his mouthpiece out when he was lying on his back in the end zone. Trainers quickly came to tend to him, who was eventually seen sitting up on a cart with a bunch of Washington staff around him.
While it wasn’t divulged what happened to Holmes, he looked almost confused on the cart as he was being treated.
Luckily, nothing more serious came out of that situation, but the initial look wasn’t good for the Commanders.
FROM OUTKICK: 49ERS PLAYERS CELEBRATE AS CARDINALS UPSET EAGLES TO SECURE NO 1 NFC SEED FOR SAN FRANCISCO
Holmes was a seventh-round pick by the Commanders in the 2022 NFL Draft, and he played in all 17 games last season with two starts. He recorded 12 tackles and two fumble recoveries.
This season, Holmes has 12 games under his belt and five combined tackles while mostly playing on special teams heading into this contest. He hadn’t had a defensive snap until this game.
The Commanders suffered their 12th loss of the season while the 49ers picked up their 12th win and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs after the Philadelphia Eagles shockingly fell at home to the Arizona Cardinals.

Comparing Azure Analysis Services with On-Premises SQL Server Analysis Services
By: Amira Bedhiafi | Updated: 2023-12-18 | Comments | Related: > Analysis Services Administration
Problem
Organizations working with on-premises SQL Server Analysis Services may not be able to guarantee optimized deployment of their models and secure and compliant data, especially during peak usage. The more companies invest in hardware and software licenses, the less the deployment of on-premises SSAS solutions becomes attractive, especially for smaller organizations with limited or narrow budgets.
Solution
To overcome these challenges, Microsoft introduced Azure Analysis Services as a cloud-based solution with the following advantages:
- No need for organizations to manage their infrastructure. Microsoft takes care of tasks like backups, security patches, and hardware maintenance.
- Ability of automatic scaling and high-performance capabilities to handle large datasets and complex queries.
- Possibility of integration with Azure Active Directory with the introduction of the role-based access control technique.
- A pay-as-you-go pricing model to scale resources according to actual usage.
In this article, we will focus on the differences between Azure Analysis Services and On-Premises SQL Server Analysis Services and try to understand the main features, benefits, and considerations for different use cases.
Overview of Azure Analysis Services (AAS) and On-Premises SSAS
AAS is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) from Microsoft Azure that provides enterprise-grade analytics in the cloud without the requirement of managing the infrastructure.
On the other hand, SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is part of the SQL Server Business Intelligence suite, offering both multi-dimensional and tabular models for on-premises deployment, but has the requirement of hardware dedication and administration.
Deployment and Infrastructure
One of the most significant distinctions between AAS and on-premises SSAS is the deployment model and infrastructure management.
Azure Analysis Services (AAS)
AAS is a fully managed service, meaning the consumer doesn’t need to bother handling the underlying infrastructure and maintenance tasks. The deployment process is streamlined, and users can scale resources as needed with just a few clicks. This makes it highly convenient for organizations without dedicated IT teams or those who prefer to focus on analysis rather than infrastructure management. AAS still benefits from Microsoft’s continuous updates and patches with a focus on security.
On-premises SSAS
On-premises SSAS requires dedicated hardware and infrastructure planning and must ensure the setup, including maintaining servers, configuring load balancing, and handling backups. This is proof that the approach in question may provide full control of the environment, but we should not deny that it requires IT resources, especially technical expertise.
Data Sources and Connectivity
Azure Analysis Services (AAS)
AAS supports a wide range of data sources for on-premises and especially rising cloud products like Azure SQL Database, Azure Data Lake Storage, and Azure Synapse Analytics. A common detail to mention with Power BI is that AAS includes Power Query for data ingestion from both on-premises and cloud sources, which makes its data integration capabilities more powerful.
On-premises SSAS
Even if many experts claim that the focus of Microsoft nowadays is on AAS, the last updates still provide improvement for connectivity for the on-premises SSAS, like relational and non-relational databases, data warehouses, and other data sources of the same category. However, we should know that integrating on-premises SSAS with cloud-based data sources might require additional configurations and considerations.
Data Modeling and Development
Azure Analysis Services (AAS)
AAS primarily supports only tabular models. Multi-dimensional models are supported in AAS; the only way is to deploy SSAS in Multi-dimensional mode to an Azure VM.
AAS provides an efficient tabular model that utilizes in-memory processing to deliver fast query performance. This model is ideal for self-service analytics and is relatively easier to develop and maintain compared to the multi-dimensional model.
On-premises SSAS
The on-premises SSAS offers both Multi-Dimensional and Tabular models.
Multi-Dimensional Model
- This model works great for big, complex data analysis in businesses. It uses the OLAP engine and the MDX language to query large amounts of data. Multi-dimensional databases treat each attribute of a piece of data as a “separate” dimension. The engine can then locate the intersection of the dimensions and display them. This makes it possible to analyze and compare data in different ways. Attributes can also be separated into multiple sub-attributes. Multi-dimensional databases are opposed to two-dimensional relational databases.
Tabular Model
- Like AAS, on-premises SSAS also supports the tabular model, which has become more popular nowadays. Definitions are available in the previous section.
Performance and Scalability
Azure Analysis Services (AAS)
AAS benefits from Azure’s robust infrastructure. This means it can manage large amounts of data smoothly, ensuring users have a consistent experience.
On-premises SSAS
On-premises SSAS performance relies on the hardware and resources allocated to the server.
Important data volumes and complex queries require careful planning and additional costs.
Security and Compliance
Azure Analysis Services (AAS)
AAS leverages Azure AD for authentication and access control enforced by role-based access control (RBAC) effectively.
On-Premises SSAS
On-premises SSAS supports Windows authentication and can be integrated with Active Directory for user authentication and role management. The setup process for security might require more effort compared to AAS.
Cost Considerations
Azure Analysis Services (AAS)
AAS follows a pay-as-you-go model, meaning that users pay only for the resources they consume hourly. This is considered more cost-flexible as users can scale up or down resources based on actual usage.
On-premises SSAS
On the other hand, the on-premises SSAS requires an investment focused on the hardware, software licenses, and ongoing maintenance. For that purpose, companies must establish strategies for hardware depreciation, software licenses, and even human resources expenses in their cost considerations.
Data Refresh and Availability
Azure Analysis Services (AAS)
Performing automated data refresh in AAS can be achieved with three alternatives.
Refresh with REST API
- With the REST API for AAS, it is possible to set off data refreshes to run in the background. The client apps don’t need to keep long HTTP connections open since the REST API also includes helpful features like automatic retries and grouped updates to make things more reliable.
Refresh with Logic Apps
- Considered a serverless solution scaling with the needs, with Logic Apps, it is possible to call the AAS API to perform the data refresh. Logic Apps also have built-in error handling and retry mechanisms, making the refresh operations more resilient.
Refresh with Azure Automation
- Azure Automation is another option to perform the refresh process for AAS by running runbooks set up on a schedule or trigger by invoking the Analysis Services API to manage the refresh tasks.
- Considered scalable and flexible when it comes to customization, Azure Automation also includes features for error logging with the ability to retry failed tasks.
On-premises SSAS
Refreshing data in an on-premises SSAS setup typically involves a series of automated or manual steps to ensure that the analytical models are up to date with the latest data. This process can be scheduled within SQL Server Agent or managed through custom scripts in PowerShell that interact with SSAS using commands or directly with AMO and TOM libraries. For more dynamic control, users might employ Integration Services packages that orchestrate the refresh alongside other ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tasks. Error handling, notifications, and logging are crucial to quickly identify and resolve any issues that may arise during the refresh process.
Conclusion
In conclusion, both Azure Analysis Services and On-premises SQL Server Analysis Services offer robust capabilities as analytics solutions but answer to different needs and scenarios. While AAS is more ideal for organizations with the need of a fully managed cloud-based solution, the on-premises SSAS is more suitable for projects with specific compliance requirements.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico and Venezuela announced Saturday that they have restarted repatriation flights of Venezuelans migrants in Mexico, the latest move by countries in the region to take on a flood of people traveling north to the United States.
The move comes as authorities say at least 10,000 migrants a day have been arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, many of them asylum seekers. It also comes as a migrant caravan of thousands of people from across the region — largely Venezuelans — has trekked through southern Mexico this week.
The repatriation flights are part of an agreement made between regional leaders during a summit in Mexico in October that aimed to seek solutions for migration levels that show few signs of slowing down.
Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Relations said the two countries began repatriations with a flight on Friday and a second on Saturday in an effort to “strengthen their cooperation on migration issues.” The statement also said the two countries plan to implement social and work programs for those repatriated to Venezuela.
“Mexico and Venezuela reiterate their commitment to address the structural causes that fuel irregular migration in the region, and to achieve a humanitarian management of such flows,” the statement read.
Mexico’s government said it previously carried out a similar repatriation flight last Jan. 20 with 110 people.
Venezuelan authorities said Saturday that 207 Venezuelans had landed in Caracas on one of the latest flights.
Gustavo Vizcaino, director of Venezuela’s migration agency, said the migrants came on a “voluntary return flight,” part of a 2018 program of President Nicolas Maduro’s government seeking to bring back Venezuelans who have fled the country’s economic and political crisis.
As migration has soared in recent years, the U.S. government has pressured Latin American nations to control the movement of migrants north, but many transit countries have struggled to deal with the quantities of people.
This week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other Biden administration officials were in Mexico City to meet with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador about the high levels of migrants landing on the U.S.-Mexico border.
López Obrador said he also spoke about the issue in a phone call with Presient Joe Biden on Dec. 20.
“He asked — Joe Biden asked to speak with me — he was worried about the situation on the border because of the unprecedented number of migrants arriving at the border,” Mexico’s leader said. “He called me, saying we had to look for a solution together.”
López Obrador has said he is willing to help, but in exchange he wants the U.S. to send more development aid to migrants’ home countries and to reduce or eliminate sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela.
Mexico’s president and other critics of American foreign policy have cited the sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela as one of the root causes of high migration.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills acquired cornerback Rasul Douglas at the trade deadline to shore up a depleted defense and reverse the team's slide in the standings.
The ballhawking Douglas delivered Sunday, and now Buffalo is on the doorstep of another playoff berth.
The 29-year-old Douglas returned one of his two interceptions for a score and tipped a pass to cause a third turnover in helping the Bills maintain their clear path to the playoffs with a 27-21 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.
“I don’t know what we gave up to get him,” safety Micah Hyde said of the deal in which Buffalo also acquired a fifth-round draft pick by sending a third-round selection to Green Bay. “But we won that trade.”
Josh Allen made up for his poor passing by scoring twice on 1-yard runs, and the three-time division champion Bills (10-6) now prepare for a season-ending showdown at Miami (11-5) next weekend that will decide the AFC East title. Buffalo has already defeated the Dolphins this year, and Miami blew a chance at clinching the division with a 56-19 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.
The Bills will have to wait until Week 18 to clinch a playoff berth after Pittsburgh (9-7) defeated Seattle 30-23.
The Buffalo enters the final week seeded sixth in the AFC race. Barring ties, the Bills could still secure their fifth consecutive playoff berth with a loss to Miami if Pittsburgh loses at Baltimore or Jacksonville (9-7) loses at Tennessee.
However things go, a patchwork defense that's spent much of the season without cornerback Tre'Davious White (torn Achilles tendon) and linebacker Matt Milano (right leg) rose up in forcing four turnovers and limiting the Patriots to 16 first downs and 294 yards. Tackle Ed Oliver had an interception on a pass tipped by Douglas, and cornerback Christian Benford forced a fumble by stripping the ball from receiver Pharaoh Brown.
“Resilience. Relentless. We always fight,” Douglas said. “I think that we got our identity now and know what we are capable of doing.”
Buffalo won its fourth straight and fifth in six games by overcoming an inconsistent offense which settled for a touchdown and two field goals off three defensive takeaways inside the Patriots 30 in the first half. The Bills also responded after the Patriots opened the game with Jalen Reagor's 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
Buffalo went up 10-7 and never relinquished the lead after Allen's first 1-yard run with 6:37 left in the first quarter, which was set up by Douglas' first interception at New England's 14. Douglas made it 20-7 by scoring on his 40-yard interception return 2 1/2 minutes into the second quarter.
New England (4-12) proved both stout in a game it had little to play for and sloppy in a season the Patriots will finish with their most losses since going 2-14 in 1992. It could be the fewest wins in coach Bill Belichick’s tenure, which he opened with a 5-11 record in 2000.
"Obviously a terrible first 20 minutes. From there, we battled away, but obviously gave them too big of a lead and couldn’t quite get it back,” Belichick said. “Just stop turning it over. Once we did that, we were competitive.”
Bailey Zappe finished 16 of 26 for 209 yards and also scored on an 18-yard run.
“I don’t think it was difficult to keep fighting because it was more about us than it was about them,” Patriots center David Andrews said. “The first half, you can’t do that. You can’t turn the ball over four times. But no one lost belief. Not one lost faith. Obviously, no one quit."
Zappe had more interceptions (three) than the Patriots had first downs (two) during New England’s first six possessions. The Patriots, however, pulled within 27-21 on Ezekiel Elliott’s 6-yard run with 11:01 left.
Following a three-and-out on New England’s next possession, the Patriots never got the ball back.
Allen converted three third-down opportunities on Buffalo’s final drive to run out the final 5:02. He capped the time-consuming drive by lowering his head on a 4-yard run on third-and-3 from the Patriots 16.
Allen finished 15 of 30 for 169 yards and an interception. He lamented not putting the game out of reach earlier.
“Three possessions down there in the first quarter, and we only scored one touchdown, so that’s not good enough,” he said. “We lucked out and our defense played a heck of a game. Just trying to find a way to win.”

Rocketing on Jan 1, a first for ISRO
By IANS | Published: January 1, 2024 05:34 AM2024-01-01T05:34:19+5:302024-01-01T05:35:03+5:30

Chennai, Jan 1 For the first time in its history, the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) will carry out a space mission on January 1.
The Indian space agency on Monday morning will send its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-DL (PSLV-DL) variant rocket to space with the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) with 10 other payloads.
Earlier, ISRO has carried out space missions with its two rockets – PSLV and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) in the month of January a couple of times, but not on the first day of a calendar year.
At 9.10 a.m. the Indian rocket PSLV-DL variant with the code PSLV-C58, standing 44.4-metre tall and weighing 260 ton, will blast off from the first launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota, in Andhra Pradesh XPoSat weighing about 740 kg and 10 scientific payloads fixed to the PSLV Orbital Platform.
At about 21 minutes into its flight, the rocket will orbit XPoSat at an altitude of about 650 km.
In its normal configuration, the PSLV is a four-stage/engine expendable rocket powered by solid and liquid fuels, alternatively, with six booster motors strapped onto the first stage to give higher thrust during the initial flight moments.
The ISRO has five types of PSLV rockets -- Standard, Core Alone, XL, DL, and QL.
The major difference between them is the number of strap-on boosters used which, in turn, largely depends on the weight of the satellites to be orbited.
The PSLV uses 6,4,2 solid rocket strap-on motors to augment the thrust provided by the first stage in PSLV-XL, QL & DL variants, respectively. However, strap-ons are not used in the core-alone version (PSLV-CA).

Milk Powder Is A Key Ingredient In Jacques Torres' Iconic Hot Chocolate
Some recipes are too good to not try to replicate at home. Such is the case with the hot chocolate served by Jacques Torres. The pastry chef and chocolatier has managed to pour perfectly textured and decadent cups of cocoa for more than a decade. When Torres offers advice on the best ways to make a satisfying cup, we're listening.
For those who are craving silky chocolatey sweetness and don't have cocoa mix stocked in the cupboard, it's time to set out to make a decadently creamy drink from scratch. Just don't forget the powdered milk. As detailed on his website, Torres reveals that adding powdered milk and cornstarch to a saucepan of boiling milk invites a thick, smooth texture to your hot chocolate recipes. When matched with high-quality dark chocolate, a sip of this chocolate treat can brighten even the darkest of winter days. Use this base recipe to bring your flavor preferences into the mix, with vanilla extract, melted peppermint candies, or pinches of powdery spices like allspice, cinnamon, ancho chile powder, or chipotle chile powder ready to play on your palate.
When texture makes the difference
As told to Brit + Co, Torres' hot chocolate took some coaxing to get Americans on board with the French-style recipe. "When I decided to make it in New York, nobody wanted it," he explained. "I started to put it in small cups and I'd give it away for free." Once a skeptical sipper experienced the drink, however, conversion was quick. "People would say, 'It tastes like melted chocolate. It's so good!'" he recalled.
When topped with spoonfuls of homemade whipped cream, this smooth-as-silk chocolate beverage is sure to satisfy all the sweet cravings. Consider serving your warm cups of hot chocolate with fried pastries for a flavor combination that can't easily be topped. If you happen to make extra (doubtful, but not impossible), store the rest of the batch in the fridge to mix into icy smoothies or blend into your breakfast bowl the next day. Worried about nailing the recipe? Torres' offers pre-made chocolate mixes for purchase.

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

Conor McGregor sets UFC return date, reveals opponent
UFC great Conor McGregor announced Sunday he will be returning to the Octagon in 2024.
McGregor posted a video on X, showing himself at a restaurant and sipping wine. He leaned into the camera and gave some details about his fight plans. McGregor said he will take on Michael Chandler.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM
“I would like to announce the return date for myself, the ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor. The greatest comeback of all time will take place in Las Vegas for international fight week on June 29th.… And the opponent, Michael Chandler. And the weight, Mr. Chandler, 185 pounds,” he said.
The two were team captains for UFC’s most recent season of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
McGregor has been out of action since 2022 when he broke his leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier. While he recovered from the injury, he was out of the USADA testing pool. He re-entered the pool as the UFC and the USADA ended their anti-doping agreement.
The Irish fighting star was also in the midst of controversy stemming from sexual assault allegations during a Miami Heat playoff game. Miami police said in October the matter was “closed” and the former champion wasn’t charged with a crime.
McGregor is 22-6 in his career. He lost back-to-back fights against Poirier – the last one coming via TKO. He beat Donald Cerrone on January 2020, more than two years after he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Chandler is 23-8 in his career. He hasn’t fought in the Octagon since his own loss to Poirier.

Poirier beat Chandler via submission in November 2022. Chandler’s last win came in May 2022 against Tony Ferguson.

2023: A Year of Global Upheaval and Economic Stagnation
In a world besieged by tumultuous changes, 2023 became a year of significant upheavals, tugging at the very fabric of the global geopolitical and economic landscapes. A beleaguered global economy, teetering on the precipice of stagnation, was marred by a myriad of factors: skyrocketing geopolitical tensions, devastating natural disasters, and an insidious trend towards deglobalization and trade protectionism.
The Struggle of Economies
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) presented a grim picture, projecting a global GDP growth of 2.9% for 2023, slowing further to 2.7% in 2024 before a slight recovery to 3% in 2025. An aggressive interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve resulted in the dramatic collapse of major banks, including Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank in the United States. Economies across Europe, too, shivered in the spectral shadow of recession, with nations like Germany, Hungary, and Sweden grappling with economic downturns.
Geopolitical Conflicts: A Global View
On the geopolitical front, the year was riddled with conflicts. The Russia-Ukraine conflict persisted with a significant human cost, leading to allegations of the US using Ukraine as a proxy to weaken Russia. The Middle East, too, resounded with the echoes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which saw a dramatic escalation, contradicting claims of a quieter region and leading to significant Palestinian casualties. This showcased the failure of U.S. Middle East policy, with the double standards of U.S. foreign policy becoming strikingly apparent, supporting Ukraine on one hand while disregarding Palestine on the other.
Beyond these, conflicts in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Eurasia, Latin America, the Korean Peninsula, Southeast Asia, and Africa have either continued or escalated, contributing to the global instability.
Rising Against the Tide
However, amidst the turmoil, Asia, particularly China, demonstrated resilience. The International Monetary Fund revised China’s economic growth forecast for 2023 upward to 5.4 percent, challenging the narrative of global economic stagnation. This resilience is rooted in China’s remarkable transformation from an impoverished, rural nation to the world’s second-largest economy since 1978. Today, it stands tall, weathering scrutiny and reports of potential economic stagnation from western capitals.
Amidst these challenges, more international players are joining China in calling for joint actions to address global risks and challenges, aiming to pave the way for a future of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit for future generations.

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

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Pistons ended their NBA record-tying losing streak at 28 games with a 129-127 victory over the short-handed Toronto Raptors on Saturday night as Cade Cunningham had 30 points and 12 assists.
The Pistons, who hadn’t won since Oct. 28, matched the Philadelphia 76ers’ record of 28, split over the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. They finished one shy of the record for the four major American and Canadian leagues, set by the Chicago Cardinals during World War II.
Jalen Duren had 18 points and 17 rebounds for Detroit (3-29) while Kevin Knox II scored 17 points.
Pascal Siakam had 35 points and Dennis Schroder scored 28 for Toronto, which was playing the second half of a back-to-back. The Raptors traded OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn to the New York Knicks earlier in the day. They received RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, but they were not available on Saturday.

Raptors: Host Cleveland on Monday night.
Pistons: At Houston on Monday night.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the "latest technological frontier," Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don't make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won't soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines "whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”

Coronation Street's Damon Hay actor teased dark scenes ahead for his character and another returning villain.
Ciaran Griffiths recently reprised his role as Damon on the ITV soap, after dramatic scenes earlier in 2023 saw him feared dead. The villain scared off his own son Jacob Hay before setting his sights on Sarah Platt, tearing apart her marriage to Adam Barlow.
After appearing to be attacked and going missing, his fate was later revealed and in a recent episode he headed back to the street. But in a twist soon to air, Damon's half-brother and fellow Corrie villain Harvey Gaskell will also make a comeback.
Still in prison after the murder of Natasha Blakeman and his attempt to kill Leanne Battersby, not to mention the criminal's long list of crimes prior to this, Harvey makes contact with Damon. It soon emerges that Harvey is still very much pulling strings from his cell, with a battle set to occur between the warring siblings who "hate each other".
Both seem to be in danger from the other, but who will come out on top? Teasing "intense" scenes ahead, Ciaran spilled: "There are some big, long scenes between them and I proper really enjoyed doing them with Will. It felt like something different, like those scenes really have a journey. They're intense. Will’s a great actor, I like how in the zone he is with the character before you even go for a take, it makes you sharpen up and both get on it.
"It’s intense, they don’t like each other. They’ve got different dads and I think Damon was always pushed to the bottom of the pile a bit growing up, always the one getting a clip round the ear. I think they’re both holding onto a lot of resentment, they don’t like each other at all, even though they’re half brothers."
He went on: "Because they know each other so well they both think they can outwit each other. And because Damon’s outside, whereas Harvey’s inside, at first he thinks he’s got one up on him but he soon realises that it doesn’t really matter where Harvey is he can still pull strings. It doesn’t matter whether he’s locked up or not, Harvey can still get to people, especially the people that Damon cares about the most."
On whether his focus during his return will be to win over Sarah or get revenge on Adam, who had sent someone after him, he said: "A bit of both I think. He’s definitely obsessed with trying to get Sarah back, he’s proper smitten, he’s clearly been thinking about her every day for the last few months and wants to scratch that itch. But the injustice of what Adam did to him is something he has to put right.
"Damon was forced to vanish without being able to say a proper goodbye to Sarah. All he got to do was leave Sarah a voicemail but Adam got to it and deleted it. Damon’s not aware of that just yet but when he finds out it’s going to make things a whole lot worse for Adam.
"He wants to make Adam pay, he’s not prepared to leave it where Adam’s had one over on him, there’s a score to settle. Damon wants to come out on top again. And as for Sarah maybe it will give him an in with her when she realises he didn't just disappear without a trace and Adam was the one who did the dirty."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X.* Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .

Upgrade Cocktail Meatballs With A Simple Glaze Of Sweet Chili Sauce
Cocktail meatballs are one of the best appetizers to prepare for a dinner party — they're tasty and easy to serve with toothpicks, allowing guests to pick up as many as they desire seamlessly. Next time you serve cocktail meatballs, we suggest upgrading this classic appetizer with a sweet chili sauce glaze.
The sweet chili sauce will take the flavors of your meatballs to the next level with its balance of spicy and sweet; they will be much more memorable with a tasty sauce than without. If you need a place to start, refer to Tasting Table's easy sweet chili sauce recipe, which can be whipped up in about 20 minutes. Plus, the garlic in the recipe brings in even more depth of flavor and ties together the sweet-spicy balance.
While using it as a glaze works wonderfully, you could also keep the sweet chili sauce on the side so guests can decide how much they want on their meatballs. Or, you can make a batch with a glaze and one without to provide variety. However, you may want to make extra batches in case those enjoying the ones with the glaze love the sauce so much they also dip the meatballs in the on-the-side sauce for more of the deliciousness.
Adjust the sweet chili sauce as needed
The great thing about our sweet chili sauce recipe is that it can be adapted to your — or your guests' — specific tastes. Maybe you're not a spice fan, and you find the "chili" part of the sweet chili sauce to be a bit too much. In that case, reduce the amount of red chili flakes you use. Our recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes, but you can cut it in half. Or, you could even adapt it into a sweet, garlicky sauce by leaving out the red chili flakes entirely. On the other hand, if you want to up the ante on the sweetness, you can add an extra pinch of sugar.
Of course, you could also pick a different type of sauce to pair with cocktail meatballs. Like sweet chili sauce, a homemade sweet and sour sauce also nicely complements the meatballs, either as a glaze or for dipping. You also can't go wrong with a classic cocktail sauce — it's a go-to sauce for appetizers for a reason.

2023 becomes deadliest year for Palestinians since 1948: Statistic bureau

Ramallah, Jan 1 The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics said that more Palestinians were killed in conflicts in 2023 than in any other year since 1948.
According to the bureau, 22,404 Palestinians died in 2023, and 22,141 of them were killed since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas on October 7, Xinhua news agency reported.
The bureau added on Sunday that 98 per cent of the Palestinian fatalities were in Gaza, including nearly 9,000 children and 6,450 women, adding that 319 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank since October 7.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Sunday that his people would remain steadfast and adhere to their legitimate rights, and would not accept being displaced from their land.
In a statement marking the 59th anniversary of the founding of the Fatah movement, Abbas said the Palestinian Authority, which he heads, would not give up a single inch of their territory, and would not forsake its responsibilities toward Gaza.
Abbas said military solutions would destabilise the region and the rest of the world rather than bringing anyone peace or security.
He called for a political solution based on international law and resolutions that would recognise the Palestinians' rights to freedom and independence.

Words for Me, but Not for Thee: Jemele Hill Exposes Rank Racial Double Standard with 'Thug' Remarks
One of the hallmarks of the far left is its insistence on deconstructing language until anything can mean anything, which is an awfully convenient way to weaponize any word at any time for any reason.
The most recent example of this came in some public discourse over the use of the term “thug,” and whether it has any sort of racial connotations behind it.
Interestingly enough, this discussion was sparked thanks to the Denver Broncos.
Long story short, the Broncos are mired in seismic turmoil and former Pittsburgh Steeler and current ESPN NFL pundit Ryan Clark pins the lion’s share of the blame for that on Denver head coach Sean Payton.
Clark blasted Payton, claiming that the 60-year-old veteran coach “behaved like a thug” with how he treated soon-to-be former Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson.
You can watch the comments below:
“Let’s be honest: Sean Payton has behaved as a thug since he became the coach of the Denver Broncos. Immediately when he gets in the building, he starts to undercut Russell Wilson personally and professionally from his first press conference on.” – Ryan Clark on “Get Up” this… pic.twitter.com/u3KxreAaIb
— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) December 29, 2023
“Let’s be honest,” Clark said on the Thursday edition of the ESPN morning sports talk show “Get Up.”
“Sean Payton has behaved as a thug since he became the coach of the Denver Broncos. Immediately when he gets in the building, he starts to undercut Russell Wilson, personally and professionally, from his first press conference on.
Clark would later add: “From the beginning, [Payton] walked into this building and he had a point to prove when it came to Russell Wilson.”
Whatever one may think of that tangled situation in the Mile High City, Clark clearly had one fan of his fiery screed, and that’s his former ESPN cohort and noted race-baiter Jemele Hill.
“That man @Realrclark25 came with the high heat on Sean Payton,” Hill posted to X.
When a random X user pointd out that, had this been a white pundit calling a black coach a “thug,” Hill would likely be condemning the rhetoric (an accurate prediction), Hill lashed out at the internet nobody.
I know this will be difficult for you to grasp but context matters. White people calling Black people thugs has a completely different connotation — depending on context. There are words and phrases that women can use with each other that men cannot use on us. Hope your brain… https://t.co/mrVYFtFNrI
— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) December 29, 2023
“I know this will be difficult for you to grasp but context matters,” she wrote in an X post. “White people calling Black people thugs has a completely different connotation — depending on context. There are words and phrases that women can use with each other that men cannot use on us.
“Hope your brain doesn’t explode.”
There’s just no other way to put this: Hill is just flat-out wrong. Words mean what they mean. If using the color of a man or woman’s skin as the basis of judging behavior is wrong (and it is) you cannot pretend the meaning of words changes based on the skin color of the speaker.
That’s just not how a logical language works.When leftists claim that it does, they expose the racial double standard they live by: They get to judge what is racist and what isn’t. What is allowed and what isn’t. For the left, the value of words — or the harm in them — depends entirely on the way progressives wish to use them.
The n-word debate is a well-worn version of this same argument (spoiler alert: nobody should say it, it’s a racist term), but you don’t have to look very far back in sports history to find a leftist deciding what a word should mean as a matter of convenience.
NBA star LeBron James infamously blasted legendary NBA coach Phil Jackson — a man whose sensibilities run counter to the left-leaning vibes of James and Hill — for daring to use the term “posse” to describe James’ inner circle of friends.
In a November 2016 interview, Jackson told ESPN about a time when James, then playing for the Miami Heat, wanted to spend an extra night in Cleveland, where he is from, after a game against the Cavaliers.
After Jackson recalled that the request was overruled by Heat president Pat Riley, he added: “You can’t hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland.”
“It’s the word ‘posse’ and the characterization I take offense to,” James’ business associate Maverick Carter, and part of the “posse” described by Jackson, told ESPN. “If he would have said LeBron and his agent, LeBron and his business partners or LeBron and his friends, that’s one thing.
“Yet, because you’re young and black, he can use that word. We’re grown men.”
For his part, James told ESPN: “It just sucks that now, at this point, having one of the biggest businesses you can have both on and off the floor, having a certified agent in Rich Paul, having a certified business partner in Maverick Carter that’s done so many great business [deals], that the title for young African-Americans is the word ‘posse.'”
Well, newsflash for Hill, James and Carter: The burden can’t be on the rest of civilization to appeal to them.
Google’s dictionary (and nobody would exactly be sprinting to describe Google as “traditional” in any sense of the word) is powered by Oxford Languages and offers these definitions:
- Thug: a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal.
- Posse: a group of people who have a common characteristic, occupation, or purpose.
Where, pray tell, apart from “what you feel like,” does race play any role in the definitions of “thug” or “posse”?
It simply doesn’t. It’s just the left’s way of making language utterly meaningless and more people need to call it out.
It’s a small, but meaningful, fight that conservatives conceded for far too long.

Slovenian guard Goran Dragic announces his retirement after a 15-year NBA career
MIAMI (AP) — Goran Dragic, a former All-Star guard with the Miami Heat and the leader of Slovenia’s team that won the EuroBasket championship in 2017, announced his retirement on Sunday.
Dragic spent 15 seasons in the NBA and played for seven teams — Phoenix, Houston, Chicago, Brooklyn, Milwaukee, Toronto and the Heat. He was part of the All-NBA team in 2013-14, the same season in which he was voted the league’s most improved player, and made his lone All-Star appearance in 2018.
“I have lived my greatest dream and I am extremely grateful for the countless people in my life who have enabled me to play this long,” Dragic said. “It starts with my parents, Marinko and Mojca, my brother, Zoran, my kids, Mateo and Vikorita and their mother Maja, and the rest of my family who always allowed this passion of basketball to be a priority for me.”
Dragic intends to have a retirement celebration this summer in Ljubljana, Slovenia, likely after the Paris Olympics conclude. There are tentative plans to announce details of that celebration later this week.
The 37-year-old Dragic spoke often in recent years about what the 2017 EuroBasket win meant to him, especially considering that it is generally considered to be Slovenia’s finest moment in team sports. Dragic averaged 22.6 points and 5.1 assists in the nine games at that tournament and finished off the gold with 35 points in the title game win over rival Serbia, his father’s homeland. Slovenia is his mother’s homeland.
He became a national hero, receiving one of Slovenia’s highest civilian honors after that tournament, and was brought to tears by a gift of a jersey from the mother of one of his idols, the late star Drazen Petrovic.
“It was everything,” Dragic said.
A young guard on that 2017 Slovenia team that Dragic mentored: Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic.
“It was an amazing run for him,” Doncic said Saturday, when word began to leak out of Europe that Dragic’s retirement announcement was imminent. “I’m just glad I know him, I’m glad I played with him and man, I learned a lot about him, especially about leadership in that tournament.”
Dragic was beloved in Miami, where he and his family continue to maintain homes. When he was a free agent in 2020, the Heat surprised Dragic with billboards in his native Slovenia, with slogans such as “Your second family is always with you.” That gesture, Dragic said, was deeply moving and led to him quickly re-signing with the Heat.
The left-handed Dragic was the 45th overall pick in the 2008 draft by San Antonio. He averaged 13.3 points and 4.7 assists in his career, and averaged 20 points in a season twice — in 2013-14 with Phoenix, and 2016-17 with the Heat.
He helped Miami reach the NBA Finals in 2020, the season that ended in the bubble at Walt Disney World because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dragic hurt his foot early in that series and appeared in only two games, an injury that seriously impacted Miami’s chances at a title.
“Can you do something for me?” he asked a reporter when that series against the Los Angeles Lakers ended, the Heat having lost in six games. “Tell the fans we really tried and I’m sorry. I really tried.”
Dragic thanked a long list of people for their involvement in his career, including David Stern and Adam Silver — the NBA’s two commissioners during his tenure — along with coaches, team executives and his agents Rade Filipovich and Bill Duffy.
“All good things come to an end but this dream of basketball will always be with me,” Dragic said.

Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb hit with random drug test after breaking franchise marks
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb put together an incredible game during the team’s 20-19 win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday, setting two franchise records.
Lamb had 13 catches for 227 yards and started the scoring for Dallas in the first quarter with a 92-yard touchdown catch from Dak Prescott.

Lamb has now tallied 122 catches for 1,651 yards and 10 touchdowns this season with one game left on the schedule. He passed Michael Irvin for the most catches and receiving yards in a season. Irvin had 111 for 1,603 yards in 1995.
He then posted on his Instagram Stories that he was chosen for a random drug test.
“Waste no time huh? @nfl,” Lamb wrote on his Stories.
NFL OFFICIATING CREW IN CONTROVERSIAL LIONS-COWBOYS GAME MAY BE DOWNGRADED AHEAD OF PLAYOFFS: REPORT
“Remarkable,” Prescott said of Lamb, via the team’s website. “That’s who CeeDee Lamb is. Tonight, what a great opportunity for him to have the game that he had – understanding that it was coming in this game with records on the line – and I wasn’t aware about them until you guys told me, but I assured you he’d get that.
“The yards, yards after catch, getting open after the 2.3 [seconds], beating man coverage, getting into the right spots in zones, he can do it all.”
Prescott added that it was “only the beginning.”

“I told you I’d enjoy it more if we won…. It’s a surreal moment for me,” Lamb added. “Shout out to my guys, we continue to work, continue to build and continue to grow. I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without them. We’re looking forward to keeping it going.”

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper has no one to blame for the failures of his NFL franchise than himself. He’s probably the worst owner in the NFL and maybe one of the worst in all of sports. And, if his behavior during his team’s loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars is any indication, he’s not exactly a great person, either.
The Panthers lost again on Sunday, an embarrassing 26-0 shutout against the Jaguars. The loss dropped Carolina to 2-14 on the season, guaranteeing the worst record in the NFL. Normally, that would mean the Panthers own the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.
However, they traded that pick last season to the Chicago Bears so they could select No. 1 last season. Now, not only are they the worst team in the NFL — by far — they don’t have a first-round pick. Although, they do have the No. 1 pick in the second round. That’s kind of like a first-round pick. Right? Silver linings, people!
David Tepper wasn’t in the mood for silver linings on Sunday. A video popped up on social media that appears to show Tepper throwing his drink towards a Jaguars fan. Then, Tepper slams his cup down and storms off. The fan can’t retaliate, of course, as Tepper is in a suite and simply just leaves.

There’s just zero excuse for this. I don’t care what the fans said or anything else. David Tepper is a billionaire and an NFL franchise owner throwing drinks on fans. Then, he slams his cup down like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.
The Panthers need a new head coach, and this isn’t the guy that most top candidates are going to want to work for.
The only person upset about Daniel Snyder selling the Washington Commanders is David Tepper.
As long as Snyder was around, Tepper couldn’t be the league’s worst.
Now?
It’s him.
