(NEXSTAR) — Select batches of a baby formula product have been recalled due to concerns about possible bacterial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans of Nutramigen Powder, produced by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) and distributed to U.S. retailers over the summer. Nutramigen Powder is a specialty formula designed for infants allergic to cow’s milk.
The company said it issued the recall due to the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
“All products in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria,” MJN said in its press release.
Cronobacter is a germ that can cause a dangerous blood infection known as sepsis, and it can also “make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants younger than two months old, born prematurely or with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sick from the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and MJN said it believes most of the products have already been consumed.
The affected products are listed below. They have a “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025” and a UPC Code of either 300871239418 or 300871239456.
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans)
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans)
Consumers who purchased the affected products should throw them away or contact MJN for a refund. Anyone with questions can call 866-534-9986 or email consumer.relations@rb.com for assistance.

Chief Justice Roberts: Courts will be 'significantly affected' by artificial intelligence
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
WASHINGTON – Federal courts are exploring how to use artificial intelligence, Chief Justice John Roberts said in an annual report Sunday in which he touted the technology's promise but warned of its limitations.
Roberts also avoided any mention of the ethics lapses that have become a central issue for the court over the past year.
"Machines cannot fully replace" humans in the courtroom, Roberts wrote in his year-end report, citing the human nuance required when judges measure the sincerity of a defendant's remorse. "Much can turn on a shaking hand, a quivering voice, a change of inflection, a bead of sweat, a moment's hesitation, a fleeting break in eye contact."
But, Roberts said, federal courts will likely need to embrace the technology for other tasks – just as judges eventually came to rely on computers instead of quill pens and copy machines instead of carbon copies.
"I predict that judicial work − particularly at the trial level − will be significantly affected by AI," the chief justice wrote. "Those changes will involve not only how judges go about doing their job, but also how they understand the role that AI plays in the cases that come before them."
Courts are not alone in wrestling with how to reliably embrace artificial intelligence. And some of the questions created by the technology are likely bound for Supreme Court review. The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft this month, for instance, asserting that the companies violated copyright law by using the newspaper's content to train its artificial intelligence chat bots. It's a case that could be reach the high court.
Federal courts, meanwhile, have been dealing with the misuse of AI by attorneys. Just last week former President Donald Trump's one-time lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen acknowledged relying on artificial intelligence to generate references to past legal opinions that, in turned out, were fabricated.
Mixing whimsy with wariness, Roberts noted that the Supreme Court didn't have a copy machine until Chief Justice Warren Burger ordered one in 1969. In 1976, Roberts wrote, Justice Lewis Powell "deployed a rented Wang computer in his chambers." Several other justices "observed the satisfactory performance of this newfangled 'word processing machine'" and ordered one for themselves.
Even today, much of the Supreme Court's work is conducted on paper.
Roberts said that several committees of the Judicial Conference, the entity that sets internal policies for the federal court system, are reviewing the courts' use of AI.
"As 2023 draws to a close with breathless predictions about the future of Artificial Intelligence, some may wonder whether judges are about to become obsolete," Roberts wrote. "I am sure we are not − but equally confident that technological changes will continue to transform our work."
Steering clear of controversy
Roberts' annual reports often steer clear of whatever major controversies are facing the Supreme Court in the prior year.
In his latest installment, the chief made no reference to the ethics matters that have swirled around the justices for months. In November, the Supreme Court adopted a code of conduct for the first time in its history, a response to series of stories this year detailing lavish travel that Justice Clarence Thomas accepted from GOP donor Harlan Crow, as well as other revelations.

Bespoke shelving and colour have added personality to this bland open-plan living room
Bespoke shelving and a bold colour are a match made in heaven in this makeover
Sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint what a room needs to make it sing. Perhaps the space could do with some colour or more storage to keep it tidy and show off treasured pieces. Maybe it's a focus point that's needed to add interest. Whatever it is, if you're looking for modern living room ideas, then you may want to take a look at this makeover.
Bespoke shelving open-plan living room makeover
Based in London, Francesca Casiraghi was looking for a solution for her open-plan living and dining room. Having an irregular-shaped ceiling meant that the space was tricky to find furniture pieces for, and shoehorning in normal freestanding pieces didn't do the room justice.
'The room had an empty wall with sloped ceilings,' recalls Francesca, 'and there was only a TV hung on the wall and a couple of furniture pieces surrounding it. We wanted to give the room more personality, add storage and match it to the colour of our sofa.'
Before
Bland walls and odd pieces of furniture didn't do the room justice. Francesca called in some help, approaching a company to build some bespoke furniture that would be tailor-made to fit the space.
After
Bespoke Carpentry London did a spectacular job, kitting the wall out with a stylish wall of storage that was colour-matched to the existing sofa. The TV is no longer the focus of the wall, with display shelves showing off pictures and books, while the cupboards offer storage for less decorative objects.
'Their designer came to take measurements of the wall and prepare the design of the bookcase, based on our requirements,' Francesca explains. 'Once we agreed on the sketch and the paint colour, their carpenters came to adjust and assemble the furniture on site. It didn't take more than a week for the final result. Then it was just the painters who finished it off by painting it.'
The existing L-shaped sofa creates a cosy space to relax and zones the living area from the dining space.
'The work was more difficult because of the irregular shape of the wall, but the bookcase was designed to fit perfectly,' says Francesca. 'It turned out to be a proper work of art itself.'
Further back in the room, the dining area sits on a large rug opposite the living space, with views out of the window.
'The whole room looks more spacious and when you enter the room, the bookcase stands out as the protagonist of our living room,' says Francesca, who spent £7,200 on the project. 'It has a lot of character and it's a unique and bespoke piece. I love the Art Deco feel and the bespoke finishes, such as the grill which covers the radiator.'

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.

‘Best place’ to put your dehumidifier to dry clothes fast and avoid awful damp smells
With winter having officially begun, drying laundry without a tumble dryer can be a hassle. To make it easier households can use a dehumidifier, but they need to be used correctly for them to work their best.
Top tips for drying your laundry indoors
Dehumidifiers are brilliant appliances for drying clothes and reducing humidity in a damp room, but they cost money to run.
With energy bills still high, it’s more important than ever to minimise your electricity usage.
With that in mind, it’s important to place your dehumidifier where it can dry clothes and reduce humidity as efficiently and quickly as possible.
Dehumidifiers work by pulling in damp air, removing moisture so that it drips into the tank, and then releasing dryer air back into the room. This means maintaining maximal airflow is essential.
The appliance creates dry air, but it has to hit the washing for the laundry to dry effectively and quickly.
This means you want to place the dehumidifier where it’s going to have access to the damp air.
According to the dehumidifier experts at Morris, the “best place to put a dehumidifier for drying clothes” is closer to the laundry for “fast drying”.
However, ensure that you leave enough clearance for the dehumidifier, on all sides, to facilitate airflow. A space of 30 cm on all sides will suffice.
They recommended using the appliance in a small room, especially for those who have a small portable dehumidifier.

They explained: “The dehumidifier will remove moisture in this environment faster compared to if it is placed in a large room. This is why most homeowners would dry clothes using a dehumidifier in the bathroom.”
However, for those who do want to use a dehumidifier in their bathroom to dry laundry, they need to make sure the room is dry. Moisture could come from sinks, showers, wet towels and bathroom rugs.
The experts added that drying laundry this way can help “eliminate mould and musty smells” in your home.
The longer clothes take to dry, the mustier they can become. By reducing the humidity and speeding up drying time, your clothes are more likely to smell fresh and not develop an odour.
When using a dehumidifier to dry clothes, close the door and any windows, so the dehumidifier can get straight to work removing the moisture from the laundry.
If you leave the door open, the dehumidifier will work hard to remove the moisture from the landing/other rooms and won’t be able to dry your clothes effectively or at speed.
It’s also important to hang or spread clothes over a clothes airer. Try to hang garments over multiple rails, so air can flow up and in between them as clothes that are clumped together will take ages to dry.

This Tuesday is a holiday I doubt many in New Jersey will observe (Opinion)
Anyone on the internet has heard that there’s a national day for everything now.
A few examples that I think would be important to New Jerseyans:
Jan 15 is National Bagel Day - I’ll take a plain bagel toasted with butter, please!
Feb. 9 is National Pizza Day - Spend this day with your favorite slice at your local pizza joint.
And July 27 is National New Jersey Day - don’t fugheddaboutit.
Tuesday Jan. 2, however, is a holiday I’m doubtful many in the Garden State will bother to observe, especially if any portion of their commute takes place on a major highway.
Jan. 2 is 55 MPH Speed Limit Day in the U.S., honoring President Nixon’s 55 mph speed limit proclamation.
It’s a day to put extra thought into road safety by not driving over 55 mph on NJ roads.
Hmm…. I don’t see many New Jerseyans doing that any time soon.
According to National Day Today:
Two categories of people celebrate 55 mph Speed Limit Day: the first and most popular category remember the former nationwide speed limit with fondness and believe it should be reinstated; the second category did not experience the limit but agree that it would do some good today.
I can only speak anecdotally based on what I see driving on routes 195 and 295 every day, but I’m not seeing many Garden State drivers falling into either of those categories.
This is not me condoning speeding or driving dangerously, this is me sharing the kind of driving I see on our roads.
Hell, don’t get me started on the Parkway or Turnpike. Drivers making their daily commutes on those roads treat speed limits as a mere suggestion.
Heaven forbid you attempt to do the speed limit in the left lane! That’s a sure way to be tailgated within a matter of seconds.
As well-intentioned as the day is, this seems like one that New Jerseyans might sit out.
I wish I could say we could celebrate the day after, but Jan. 3 is Drinking Straw Day, and Gov. Murphy has made it harder to celebrate that one.
We’re just going to have to wait for National Bagel Day.

Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan Disqualified from Upcoming Elections
Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the majority of leaders from his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), have been disqualified from participating in the upcoming legislative elections scheduled for February 8. The decision was revealed following the close of nominations, as reported by party officials. Khan, who has been imprisoned since August, is currently undergoing trial for numerous cases, which he insists are fabricated to obstruct his electoral participation.
Conviction and Appeal
Despite being convicted of corruption earlier in the year, Khan’s three-year sentence and conviction were suspended, and an appeal process has been initiated. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) disqualified Khan based on his conviction. However, his party, PTI, still submitted his nomination papers. Khan’s tenure ended last year following a rift with Pakistan’s military, which had supported his rise to power in 2018. He has since accused the military and an alleged US-backed conspiracy of plotting his ouster through a no-confidence vote and also alleged an assassination attempt against him.
Party Spokesman Reports Nomination Rejections
PTI spokesman Raoof Hasan stated that 90 to 95 percent of PTI candidates’ papers, including Khan’s, were rejected. Hasan attributed these rejections to an agenda aimed at excluding PTI from the elections. The ECP is set to announce the final list of candidates on January 23, while PTI plans to appeal the rejections and utilize all available constitutional, legal, and political avenues to participate in the elections.
Political Uncertainty and Future Implications
The upcoming elections aim to bring an end to the political uncertainty that has been troubling Pakistan since Khan’s removal through a parliamentary no-confidence vote last year. Despite Khan’s disqualification, he filed nomination papers, claiming to be targeted by the military. The election commission also rejected nominations from other senior members of Khan’s party, the PTI. Meanwhile, the nomination of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was accepted pending a hearing on a life ban on holding public office. The political climate in Pakistan remains fraught with tension as the country navigates its way towards the upcoming elections, and the world watches on to see how this situation unfolds.

Three dead in separate Bronx, N.Y., fires as 2023 draws to close
Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Three people are dead in the wake of three fires in the Bronx, N.Y., the Fire Department of New York reported.
A pair of fires three blocks apart Saturday killed two people four hours apart, officials reported Sunday, and the third blaze erupted Friday which took the life of the third person.
A two-alarm blaze broke out about 8:15 p.m. Saturday on the second floor of a five story building on Elder Avenue near Westchester Avenue, a FDNY spokesman said. Firefighters brought that fire under control in about 50 minutes, the department said.
Rescuers found a woman inside the building and transported her to Jacobi Medical Center where she died, police said. Her name and age were not released.
Neighbors said some residents tried to use the emergency escape on the outside of the building, but reported the drop down ladder was stuck. One resident rushed out barefoot with her parents and two sisters and said her father managed to shake the ladder loose but injured himself in the process.
"It was bad. My dad got hurt," the woman said.
Another witness described residents passing their children down to people on the ground below, as workers from a nearby 24-hour grocery ran to the scene to help.
"They came with a ladder to help people down," the neighbor said of the workers.
Willy Alvarez, 45, heard his wife yelling up to him in their fourth floor apartment from the street. That's when he looked out the window to see smoke billowing out of the window's across the building's courtyard and fled the building.
"That's when I knew it was serious," he said.
Just over four hours later, a fire erupted on Colgate Avenue near Westchester Avenue -- only about a quarter-mile away.
That fire spread to several buildings and vehicles. When firefighters extinguished that blaze they found a 50-year-old man who was also taken to Jacobi Medical Center where he died, police said.
Drea Williamson lived in a front-facing apartment in the building and works a graveyard shift at Panera Bread inside the Montefiore Medical Center in Manhattan. She said her landlord called her about 1 a.m. to report the blaze.
'We lost everything!' she recalls the landlord telling her. The man who died in the fire lived adjacent to Williamson in the rear-facing basement apartment.
"That man just moved into that apartment," Williamson said. "He just moved in two days ago. That is tragic. I feel bad," she said. "That man had a family."
Williamson said she did not know the man well yet, but described him as a kind and quiet man.
"He was like me. He minded his own business. I didn't hear any loud music. He just got there. He was nice," she continued.
Williamson moved into the apartment in September 2021 and said she found a broken heating system, faulty electrical wiring and plumbing that backed up when it rained.
She said she was told by the city that the apartment building had been illegally subdivided and she added that the fire came as no surprise to her. She wants the city and building's owners to follow up.
"If it wasn't for the fire, it was going to go down regardless. I don't know how it started but I feel like it needs to be investigated," Williamson, who is now looking for a place to live, said.
"I lost everything. I only went outside with the clothes on my back," she said. "I want to find my cats. I'm going to look for my cats again today. Wherever I'm going to be placed, I would like my cats to come with me. ... I hope to find them alive.
Two police officers suffered minor smoke inhalation in that blaze.
There was a lone candle outside a building at 197th Street and Pond Place in Bedford Park Sunday where firefighters responded to a blaze in the Bronx about 4 p.m. Friday that took the life of another New Yorker. This one occurred on the second floor of the six-story building.
Rescuers transported Brett Teply to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he later died, an FDNY spokesman said.
"He just had his birthday 11 days before. His birthday was Dec. 18," his sister Marisa Teply told the New York Daily News.
"He just turned 56. He didn't care, he didn't think about numbers. He was a sweet guy, he was an optimistic guy. He was not a negative person."
"I was heartbroken when we lost him," she added.
Neighbors said the building's superintendent tried to evacuate the building as quickly as possible, but Tepley fell victim to the smoke, his sister said.
A report by the New York City Comptroller's office says between the winters of 2017 and 2021 there were a total of 814,542 heat complaints made by tenants living in 70,766 individual, privately owned buildings, the most recent figures available, and blamed inadequate maintenance by building owners and operators.
The report says the complaints are not distributed evenly across the city, "but concentrated in the Northwest and South Bronx, Central Brooklyn and, Northern Manhattan -- all neighborhoods in which most residents are people of color."
It also pointed out that while the residents in these buildings are experiencing a disproportionately high number of heat-related complaints due to a lack of proper maintenance, the property values are increasing at the same time.
"In a cruel irony, this lack of basic building maintenance is occurring as buildings in these communities are sold for increasingly high prices," the report said.
"Instead of improved living conditions under new ownership, existing tenants often simultaneously face decreased services and the threat of rising rents or eviction.
"Stronger code enforcement, in addition to tenant protections, is necessary to compel landlords, especially those with low-income, immigrant, and tenants of color, to treat the properties they own not just as an investment vehicle, but as people's homes."
The cause of all three fires remains under investigation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — The Kansas City Chiefs turned around a 17-7 deficit to the Cincinnati Bengals with only field goals to get a crucial 25-17 victory at Arrowhead Stadium.
With this win, the Chiefs have clinched their eighth straight AFC West title and a spot in the 2023 NFL Playoffs currently as the no. 3 seed in the AFC at 10-6.
It was also KC’s first home win since October.
The Bengals notched a field goal at the end of their opening nine-minute drive and the Chiefs answered with a seven-play drive that ended with a touchdown to running back Isiah Pacheco.
The lead didn’t last long when Bengals running back Joe Mixon caught a seven-yard touchdown pass to take a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter.
A Trey Hendrickson strip-sack of Patrick Mahomes helped the Bengals get great field position and they increased their lead to 17-7 with a TD run from quarterback Jake Browning.
The Chiefs ended the half with two straight field goals and a 17-13 halftime deficit. The last offensive play resulted in a wide-open drop from receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on fourth down.
After a defensive stop in the red zone early in the third quarter, drove the field 82 yards and ended with a Harrison Butker field goal to cut their deficit to 17-16 late in the third quarter.
The Chiefs’ longest pass play of the year with a 67-yard catch and run reception from Rashee Rice got them into the red zone at the end of the third quarter and they ended the drive with their third straight field goal they helped them take a 19-17 lead early in the fourth quarter.
The rookie receiver led the receiving effort with 127 yards on five catches.
Butker finished the night going 6 for 6 on field goals, a career single-game high for Butker.
The defense ended the night with six sacks with two coming from safety Justin Reid and 1.5 from DE George Karlaftis who eclipsed 10 sacks on the season for the first time in his career.
Mahomes finished with 245 yards and a touchdown.
Pacheco tallied 130 rushing yards, 35 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.
With Pacheco and Rice both over 100 yards for the game, it marks the first game with a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver for the Chiefs since Pacheco (107) and Kelce (115) each reached the mark on Nov. 20, 2022, at the Los Angeles Chargers.
Tight end Travis Kelce garnered 16 yards on three catches.
The Chiefs go to the Chargers for their regular season finale at a time to be determined.

French President Emmanuel Macron’s Visit to India: A Leap in Defense Cooperation
In an unprecedented move towards bolstering defense ties, India and France are gearing up to finalize significant defense deals during French President Emmanuel Macron’s upcoming visit to New Delhi. Macron, the chief guest for India’s 75th Republic Day ceremony, is scheduled to hold strategic discussions with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu.
Significance of Macron’s Visit
The central focus of these discussions revolves around the acquisition of 26 Rafale Marine combat aircraft for the Indian Navy and the construction of three submarines in India with technology transfer from France. Primarily intended for India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant and potentially for INS Vikramaditya, the Rafale M fighter jets have been granted Acceptance of Necessity by India’s Defense Acquisition Council. France has responded with a Letter of Acceptance detailing the offer, but the final deal hinges on the conclusion of pricing negotiations.’

Building a Comprehensive Defense Roadmap
These proposed deals are part of a broader roadmap for defense-industrial cooperation aimed at enhancing joint design, development, testing, and manufacturing of advanced defense technologies. The strategic partnership extends to joint production of military hardware with potential exports to third countries in the Indo-Pacific region.’

Continuing a Legacy of Defense Cooperation
This recent development builds on India’s previous purchase of 36 Rafale jets for the Indian Air Force and ongoing defense collaborations between the two nations. The submarine deal, following up on the Project 75 acquisition program, is also anticipated to progress with Macron’s visit.
The Dassault Rafale, a French twin-engine canard-delta wing multirole fighter aircraft, is designed and built by Dassault Aviation. Equipped with a wide range of weapons, it has been used in combat over Afghanistan, Libya, Mali, Iraq, and Syria. The Rafale, distinct from other European fighters as it is almost entirely built by one country, has been selected for purchase by several countries including Egypt, Qatar, Greece, Croatia, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro mobilizes 5,600 troops after Britain sends warship to Guyana amid territorial dispute
Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered the mobilization of more than 5,600 troops in response to the deployment of a British warship to the coast of Guyana as tensions emerged over the oil-rich territory.
The dispatch of the vessel was seen as a signal of support for the former British colony, prompting the Venezuelan ruler to put his military on high alert "in response to the provocation and threat of the UK against peace and the sovereignty of our country," Maduro said.
"It is the breaking of the spirit of dialogue, diplomacy and peace of the agreements," Maduro said last week after he learned about the ship's deployment, calling it "practically a military threat from London."
In a televised address, Maduro said he directed the Bolivarian national armed forces to take joint defensive actions off the coast of Essequibo, but he did not offer details about the mobilization.
"We believe in diplomacy, in dialogue, in peace," Maduro said. "But no one should threaten Venezuela, no one should mess with Venezuela. We are men of peace, we are a people of peace, but we are warriors and this threat is unacceptable for any sovereign country," he said.
On Dec. 24, the British Ministry of Defense announced the deployment of the patrol vessel HMS Trent to Guyana as part of a series of engagements in the region, but did not mention the ongoing dispute between the South American neighbors.
The controversy erupted after Maduro announced a plan to tap natural oil reserves in the Essequibo region, which is commonly acknowledged as land belonging to Guyana.
However, Venezuela renewed its claim to the 62,000 square mile area following major discoveries of oil and gas in recent years.
The dispute heated up recently after Venezuelans voted in favor of turning the Essequibo region into a new state for Venezuela, while also passing a measure to block the international court of justice from intervening.
Earlier this month, Guyana and Venezuela signed an agreement to avoid a military conflict in light of the elevated tensions.

FLORENCE, S.C. (WBTW) — NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough has died at 84 after a long illness.
Yarborough died early Sunday morning at McLeod Hospice in Florence, South Carolina, according to his family.
NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France released a statement following Yarborough’s death:
“Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest competitors NASCAR has ever seen. His combination of talent, grit and determination separated Cale from his peers, both on the track and in the record book. He was respected and admired by competitors and fans alike and was as comfortable behind the wheel of a tractor as he was behind the wheel of a stock car. On behalf of the France family and NASCAR, I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cale Yarborough.”
During his career, Yarborough won 83 races, tying Jimmie Johnson for sixth on the all-time NASCAR Cup Series list. He’s also just one of two drivers to win three consecutive championships, winning 1976, 1977 and 1978.
Yarborough operated Cale Yarborough Honda in Florence. He grew up in Sardis, South Carolina, just a few miles from Timmonsville. He was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2012.
He retired from racing in 1988, and he later became the first Republican elected to the Florence County Council since Reconstruction. He was re-elected his next term as a Democrat.

From the Diamond to the Senate: Steve Garvey Announces Candidacy
Former Major League Baseball player and World Series Champion, Steve Garvey, has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in California, running as a Republican. Renowned for his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, Garvey is now shifting his focus from the baseball diamond to the political field, aiming to address pressing issues that he believes are affecting the ‘heartbeat of America’.
From Sports to Politics
Garvey, who played for the Dodgers for 14 years and was a key player in their 1981 World Series win, is planning to translate his experience in team building from sports into the political arena. His primary objective is to bring stability to what he perceives as a dysfunctional Washington, by focusing on consensus-building among politicians.
A Bid Motivated by Values
The decision to run for the Senate was motivated by Garvey’s observation of California’s increasingly liberal stance and a lack of representation for candidates that shared his values. Since announcing his candidacy, he has been proactive in his campaign, engaging with Californians across the state to understand their concerns, and has already received considerable support, placing second in a Morning Consult Politico survey among likely primary voters.
A Platform Focused on California’s Challenges
Garvey’s campaign is centered around addressing the key issues of inflation, crime, education, homelessness, and support for law enforcement. He has criticized the current state of California, citing financial and safety challenges, and is advocating for a return to free-market capitalism and a focus on small businesses. In addition, Garvey has underscored the importance of supporting law enforcement and ensuring that criminals face consequences for their actions, in a bid to improve the safety of California’s neighborhoods.

A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third was arrested Saturday in the United Kingdom, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Kimberlee Singler's 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead on Dec. 19 when police responded to a report of a burglary at their home. Police later said the report turned out to be unfounded.
Singler, 35, initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, said Ira Cronin, spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Authorities were unable to apprehend her after obtaining an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder, among other allegations.
Singler was not under surveillance and was last seen in Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, said Cronin.
Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies.
Attempts to reach Singler for comment through phone numbers listed for her were unsuccessful. Cronin said he didn't know if she has an attorney.
When police first responded to Singler’s home, they found her with minor injuries, the two children’s bodies and Singler’s 11-year-old daughter hurt. At first, Singler was treated as a burglary victim, said Cronin.
The injured girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released and is recovering in Colorado Springs, said Cronin.
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.

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.”

Gaza in Ruins: Palestinians Face Grim New Year Amid Ongoing Conflict
As the world ushers in 2024, the people of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip face a bleak dawn. Displaced by 12 weeks of relentless Israeli strikes, their hopes for relief are fading. The Israeli military campaign, triggered by Palestinian Hamas fighters crossing the border on October 7, has killed over 1,200 people and left the region in ruins. The Gaza Strip, under Hamas control, reports a staggering 21,800 fatalities. Nearly all Gazans have been forced from their homes, their lives now marked by hunger, disease, and destitution.
Surviving amid Devastation
With their homes obliterated, displaced families shelter in makeshift tents of crude plastic sheeting, clutching on to minimal possessions like blankets and cooking utensils. U.N.-run schools designated as shelters are overwhelmed, unable to accommodate the flood of survivors. The prospects for a political resolution to the 75-year conflict for Palestinian self-determination seem more distant than ever.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
The current living conditions in southern Gaza have worsened due to the Israeli ground offensive. Cramped living spaces, skyrocketing food prices, and inadequate sanitation have been exacerbated by severe restrictions on essential supplies entering the strip. Aid trucks entering Gaza are swarmed by desperate civilians, underscoring the deteriorating humanitarian situation. The United Nations warns that the aid reaching southern Gaza is insufficient, with the youngest children facing serious malnutrition risks. Reports indicate that all 2.2 million residents of Gaza are facing acute hunger, the highest level of food insecurity ever recorded by the IPC initiative.
Conflict Escalates, Hope Recedes
Israel’s ground and air offensive has led to over 21,800 Palestinian deaths and more than 55,000 injuries, as per the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the war will continue for many more months, despite international calls for a ceasefire. This conflict has sparked fears of a broader regional conflagration, with the U.S. military reporting the shooting and killing of several Iran-backed Houthi rebels attempting to attack a cargo ship in the Red Sea. Meanwhile, Egypt has proposed a ceasefire plan and prisoner exchange, but both Hamas and Islamic Jihad insist that no more hostages will be freed until Israel ends the offensive and withdraws from Gaza.
As 2023 draws to a close, individuals like 12-year-old Muna al-Sawaf express desperate hopes for normalcy, for the rebuilding of their homes, and an end to the conflict. But as the war drags on, these simple wishes remain trapped amid the ruins.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Portland police will be increasing patrols in select parts of the city during New Year’s Eve Sunday night.
PPB Traffic Division officers will be focusing particular efforts on the Entertainment District in the Old Town neighborhood, looking for impaired drivers, speeding, dangerous lane changes, running red lights, and other related behaviors.
New Year’s Eve is the second deadliest holiday in Oregon.
“It’s usually due to the fact that people drive while impaired especially relating to alcohol, but we also understand other drugs, including marijuana, cannabis control substances, but also even medications or other substances can impair the body as well,” Oregon State Police’s Lt. Logan Denney told KOIN 6 News.
In 2023, the state of Oregon has seen a 2.5% increase in arrests for DUII across the state.
In Portland, there have been 73 traffic-related fatalities, with 32 involving pedestrians. This is a slight increase from last year with 73 deaths including 26 pedestrians.
PPB Sgt. Kevin Allen calls this “very alarming,” as it is approaching the record of 79 traffic-related deaths from 1986. But he offered up some advice to combat potential incidents on the holiday.
“Celebrate, have fun, enjoy the transition,” said Allen. “But make sure you know how you’re going to get home.”

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

Graham Calls for Mass Deportation Amidst Escalating Immigration Challenges
On CBS’ “Face the Nation”, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina ignited a conversation about the pressing issue of immigration, asserting that the United States is “full.” At the heart of his argument is the escalating surge of migrants at the Southern border, a situation that he believes requires an immediate and robust solution.
Graham’s Solution: Mass Deportation
Graham proposed a dramatic plan: to deport the 1.7 million people who are ready for deportation. He argued that such a measure would deter future attempts at illegal entry. The Senator urged President Joe Biden to reinstate the Title 42 authority, a tool used during the Covid pandemic to expedite the removal of undocumented immigrants.
Title 42, a World War II-era public health law, was previously used to override legal protections for asylum seekers. However, the policy ended in May. Graham sees the current immigration challenges as directly linked to policy decisions made soon after Biden’s presidency began.
Impact on Foreign Aid
Graham, a staunch advocate for international aid, laid out the broader implications of the immigration issue. He pointed out that aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan has been hindered by the lack of bipartisan agreement on immigration reform in Washington. While he remains committed to supporting these nations, Graham insists that addressing the immigration issue must take precedence.
Graham warned of mass deportations if former President Donald Trump were to return to office, a prospect that aligns with his hardline stance on immigration.
Mayors Criticize Abbott’s Approach
Following Graham’s comments, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston joined the conversation, recognizing immigration as a crisis. However, they criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for sending migrants to their cities without proper coordination.
Both mayors, who are Democrats, emphasized the need for a structured and humanitarian approach to handling the influx of migrants. They contrasted their approach with Abbott’s actions, which they described as sowing chaos.

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

GST Debate Set to Influence Singapore’s General Elections
As Singapore gears up for its general elections, due by November 2025, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is poised to take center stage in political debates. The GST, a critical facet of the nation’s financial policy, is expected to be hotly debated in the run-up to the elections, as the island city-state braces for a leadership transition. The impact of the GST on the populace and its implications for the economy promise to be key points of contention as parties lay out their platforms for voter consideration.
Imminent GST Hike and Its Implications
Businesses in Singapore are preparing for an increase in GST from 8% to 9% come January 1st. This impending hike has led many to unveil enticing promotions to draw in shoppers. It’s clear that the GST increase, while potentially offset by government aid, wage growth, and employment gains, will still result in higher everyday costs for consumers.
Political Parties and the GST Debate
The GST has long been a contentious issue in Singapore’s political landscape. The ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) and its primary opponent, the Workers Party, have sparred consistently over the GST increase. While the PAP government seeks to fuel spending in response to a swiftly aging population, the Workers Party has repeatedly expressed objections to the GST hike.
Looking Ahead: A Nation at a Crossroads
As Singapore approaches its next general elections, the GST debate is likely to intensify. The upcoming budgetary measures will be pivotal, especially in light of an impending leadership transition. The conversation surrounding the GST – its impact on the less affluent, the projected revenue increase from the tax, and the lack of discussion on wealth taxes – stands to shape the narrative of the upcoming elections.

(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.

(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.

Revellers watched in delight as Edinburgh's Hogmanay firework display signalled the start of 2024.
Earlier in the evening musicians hyped the crowd up for an evening of entertainment.
Thousands of people attended the sold out Princes Garden Street Party and Concert in the Gardens in what mark's the festival's 30th anniversary.
The event, organised by UniqueAssembly and City of Edinburgh Council, saw headliners Pulp take to the stage ahead of the fireworks. The group has not played in the city in 20 years.
Read more: How Scotland became the home of Hogmanay
Ahead of the main display, there were some small firework displays between different musical sets, much to the applause of the hyped-up crowd.
Commenting on the news of a sell-out, Al Thomson, co-director of UniqueAssembly, said: "Fifty thousand people in the streets of Edinburgh enjoying good music, good company, and one of the best fireworks displays in the world - there's no better way to start the new year.
"We started things off right with the Torchlight Procession on Friday, where we saw 20,000 people come together to shine a light on homelessness, raising money for our charity partner Social Bite; and this is just the perfect end to the year and the best way to celebrate 30 years of Edinburgh's Hogmanay."
Thousands of revellers started 2024 with a bang as fireworks and drones lit up the sky over London and told the world the city is "A Place for Everyone".
After the bongs of Big Ben sounded midnight, "London: A Place for Everyone" was written high above the crowds as the unity-themed display welcomed the new year.
The display marked the King's coronation year and also used Charles' quote to mark the 75th anniversary of the Windrush crossing in which he said the new arrivals "collectively enrich the fabric of our national life".
There were repeated references to London's diversity and inclusivity, with the capital telling the world everyone is welcome in a city where people can be themselves.
The show, designed by the Cambridgeshire-based pyrotechnics firm Titanium Fireworks, boasted more than 12,000 fireworks.

Jake Weeda has seen his share of economic storms since reaching adulthood in the 1960s.
The semi-retired building consultant feels for today's young people facing enormous rents, spiralling mortgage costs and "over the top" price rises in the stores.
Many of Mr Weeda's generation point back to the early 1990s, when the official cash rate peaked at 17.50 per cent, in the lead-up to a brutal recession.
While that was painful for home loan (and business) borrowers at the time, house prices were nowhere near their levels of today, hence the deep impact the Reserve Bank's recent series of rate hikes has had on home buyers and hopefuls despite the cash rate "only" rising to 4.35 per cent.
Mr Weeda and his wife, Ria, bought their Ulverstone home for $47,000 in about 1980.
The current Ulverstone median house price is about $500,000.
Mr Weeda remains a keen advocate for home ownership, but realises how hard it can be to get into the market these days.
"It depends on their jobs," he said.
"If there's two jobs and some dollars saved and a block of land, yes, it's doable.
"But interest rates are now chronic and to rent is bad too.
"Having to pay $400-500 rent a week, that's cruel."
A long-time critic of TasWater and its charges, Mr Weeda also described power price increases as exorbitant.
"My previous three-page bill prior to the new-look bill for 92 days was $502.82," he said.
"We had solar panels installed at about the same time.
"The next bill in October was $995.67.
"I queried this with Aurora, who withdrew that account and sent a new one for just under $500."
And then there were the rising costs of groceries and other items.
He said he and his wife's weekly grocery bill had climbed from about $140 to $170 in a year (an increase of more than 20 per cent).
'What do you do?'
"Everybody's going crook about it," Mr Weeda said.
"What do you do?"
He encouraged young people to start saving if they could and to prioritise a home deposit over fancy new cars and other non-essentials.
"When people are single, they (tend to) spend on whatever they want to ... but I'm afraid those days are gone, even for young people," he said.
The Reserve Bank's rate hikes have been intended to drive demand out of the economy, in an attempt to push down prolonged high inflation.
Inflation has come off its highs in recent times, although it is yet to return to the central bank's 2-3 per cent annual target.
Ups and downs
National inflation peaked at an annual 7.8 per cent at the end of 2022, and Hobart inflation went even higher.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated the national rate was 5.4 per cent for the year to September, and Hobart was down to 4.1 per cent.
State Treasury analysis of the data showed annual Hobart inflation rates to September varied widely between various types of costs.
Annual Hobart inflation increases and inflation growth trajectory compared with the year to June:
- Food, 4.5 per cent and slowing;
- alcohol and tobacco, 3.3 per cent and slowing;
- clothing and footwear, 2.1 per cent and accelerating;
- housing, 4.3 per cent and slowing;
- furnishings, household equipment and services, 0.8 per cent and slowing;
- transport, 3.8 per cent and accelerating;
- health, 5.1 per cent and steady;
- communications, 1.4 per cent and accelerating;
- recreation and culture, 4.6 per cent and slowing;
- education, 7.2 per cent and steady; and
- insurance and financial services, 8.6 per cent and accelerating.

Panda unpacks New Year gifts in Moscow Zoo (VIDEO)
The Moscow Zoo has released a video of a giant panda male named Zhui opening its New Year gifts.
Zhui, who recently became a father, excitedly inspected a shiny bundle decorated with mandarin oranges before moving on to another gift in the shape of a festive tree while munching on bamboo shoots.
Zhui is seven years old, and his partner Dindin is six years old. They arrived in Moscow from China in 2019. Beijing presented the animals to mark the 70th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between the country.
Zhui and Dindin became parents to a female cub in August 2023, who is the first ever panda who was born in Russia.
Baby pandas traditionally receive names when they are 100 days old. In early December, the Moscow Zoo asked Russians to choose a name for the cub, with over 250,000 people participating in the vote.
All pandas born either in captivity or in the wild are the property of China and can only be leased rather than gifted. The practice of sending pandas to other countries – dubbed the ‘panda diplomacy’ – dates back to 1941.
Zhui and Dindin are set to return home to China once their 15-year “business trip” ends.

We'll have at least one more year of hearing about Mike Tomlin's streak.
For the 17th straight season, Tomlin will not have a losing record. The Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 to move to 9-7, and more importantly than clinching another non-losing season for Tomlin, it kept Pittsburgh alive in the AFC wild-card race. Pittsburgh will need to win and get some help next week to get a wild-card spot, but they'll still be in the race going into the season finale. For the Seahawks, it drops them back to .500 and is a blow in their playoff hunt.
A two-game winning streak for the Steelers coincided with finally turning to Mason Rudolph at quarterback. The Steelers stuck with Rudolph despite Kenny Pickett being healthy enough to be listed as questionable on the injury report, which usually means a player will suit up. Pickett was inactive, Rudolph started and the Steelers continued to keep their season alive with a big win.
The Steelers were in a lot of trouble when they had a three-game losing streak in December. But a Tomlin-coached team wasn't going to fade away that easily.
Steelers pound Seattle in run game
The Steelers, who looked like they were ready to call it a season a couple weeks ago in a listless loss to the Indianapolis Colts, looked like a much different team in the first half Sunday. They rushed for 145 yards in the first half. The Fox broadcast said that was the most for Pittsburgh since a 2006 game against Kansas City. Their leading rushers that day were Willie Parker and Najeh Davenport.
Jaylen Warren got the scoring started for the Steelers with an 18-yard touchdown run. The Steelers led for most of the game after that. Najee Harris scored a couple of touchdowns, and the Steelers led 24-17 into the third quarter.
The game was still in the balance when the defense made a huge play. With seven minutes left and the Steelers leading 27-20, Geno Smith was strip-sacked by Nick Herbig. Pittsburgh recovered at the 16-yard line. The Steelers only got a field goal out of the ensuing drive, but a 10-point lead was significant at that point in the game.
Seahawks take a step back
For the Seahawks, a loss didn't eliminate them from the playoff race but it didn't help their chances. They moved back to 8-8 with the loss, which is fitting in what has been a mediocre season.
The defense let down in a big spot, against an offense that has struggled most of the season. The offense wasn't bad but there weren't a lot of game-changing explosive plays. The Steelers also crushed Seattle in time of possession.
The Seahawks tried to rally late. A drive deep into Steelers territory didn't result in a touchdown, and Seattle settled for a field goal just before the two-minute warning. They tried an onside kick trailing 27-20 but Pittsburgh recovered. A reception to Pickens for a first down and a Harris run for another first down ended the game.
The Steelers still need a lot to go right to make the playoffs. But they're alive, and it looked like there was no chance of that happening a couple weeks ago.

US calls for DR Congo election disputes to be resolved 'peacefully'
The United States called Sunday for the peaceful and transparent resolution of any election disputes in the Democratic Republic of Congo after President Felix Tshisekedi was declared winner of a second term in the turbulent nation.
Provisional results showed Tshisekedi had won 73 percent of the vote, which opposition leaders have already dismissed as a "sham."
The United States is following the process "closely," a State Department spokesperson said, stopping short of immediately congratulating Tshisekedi.
"Any election disputes should be resolved peacefully and in accordance with Congolese electoral law," the spokesperson continued. "We call on the relevant authorities to ensure any complaints are handled in a fair and transparent manner."
The Democratic Republic of Congo's Constitutional Court is expected to confirm the provisional results on January 10.
Moise Katumbi -- a wealthy businessman, football club owner and former provincial governor -- was the election runner-up with about 18 percent.
He and eight other opposition candidates on Sunday signed a declaration rejecting the results and calling for a re-run.
Post-election tensions have been common in the poor but mineral-rich country.
Analysts said Tshisekedi's vote tally was well beyond expectations.
Over 40 million people out of the 100 million inhabitants of the huge country were registered to vote on December 20 for president, as well as for national and regional lawmakers and municipal councillors.
Voting was officially extended by a day to account for problems, and continued for days afterwards in remote areas, according to observers.

Texoma will start 2024 with temperatures below average | 12/31 PM
LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - Good evening Texoma! Tonight for New Year’s Eve temperatures will sit in the low 30s around midnight, so be prepared for some chilly conditions if you have any outdoor plans. We will begin the new year with cold conditions with morning low temps in the 20s and afternoon high temps in the mid-40s. Skies will be partly cloudy during the day with northeast winds at 5 to 10 mph.
Tuesday will be another day with temperatures only reaching the mid-40s, but the bigger story will be the return of rain chances to the area. We do not expect widespread activity, but scattered showers across southern Texoma (mostly south of the Red River) will bring some needed rain to the area.
Wednesday and Thursday will both have lots of sunshine and temperatures jumping back to seasonable in the low 50s. We will cool down once again on Friday with a cold front as temperatures will be once again in the 40s. A second round of rain in the week is expected on Friday, and this round is more likely to be widespread. The details are still fuzzy, but we cannot rule out a wintry mix of precipitation in northern Texoma Friday night. We will keep you updated as the details become more clear.
Have a great start to 2024!

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.

What’s better than one interception? Two interceptions.
What’s better than two interceptions? Returning one for a touchdown.
That was the type of day that former Mountaineer Rasul Douglas had with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Douglas picked off two passes in the first half of Buffalo’s Week 17 win over the New England Patriots.
The first came midway through the first quarter. Douglas picked off a pass from Bailey Zappe at the 24-yard line and then returned it 10 yards to the New England 14-yard line. That set up the go-ahead touchdown for the Bills, who never trailed the rest of the way en route to a fourth-straight victory.
Three New England possessions later, Douglas intercepted Zappe once again.
Douglas made a fantastic diving play to initially make the catch for the interception. He then quickly got to his feet close to the New England 40, dodged two would-be tackles near the 30, followed blockers to break through a small crease about 10 yards later, and then ran until he was tackled into the end zone with 12:36 showing on the second quarter clock.
“As soon as I got the ball, I’m like, ‘I got to try to score,'” Douglas told reporters. “I had one that I could’ve got in the endzone, but I messed up. So I was like, I tried to get it back.”
Sunday’s pick-six was the third of Douglas’ career. The former Mountaineer corner returned interceptions for touchdowns on back-to-back games on November 28 and December 12, 2021.
In addition to his two interceptions, Douglas tallied a pair of tackles and another defended pass to give him a total of three Sunday.
This is his second two-interception day since joining Buffalo earlier this season. His first came on November 19 against the New York Jets.
In 14 games this season, Douglas has five interceptions and 14 passes defended. He also has three fumble recoveries and 61 total tackles.

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.”

Paramedics rushed Hoskins to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with serious injuries after she was hit by a ute at Medindie on Saturday night.
The 32-year-old mother of two died overnight. Nine News reports that her husband Rohan Dennis, a fellow cycling star, has been charged over her death.
Police arrested a 33-year-old man known to Ms Hoskins and charged him with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life.
He was bailed to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court in March.
Dennis was one of Australia’s top male cyclists before retiring last year. He won two Olympic medals, two world championships in the time trial and individual stage wins in the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España.
Born in Perth in 1991, Hoskins won gold in the team pursuit at the 2015 world championships and rode in the team pursuit at two Olympic Games and competed on the road from 2012-15 with Australian professional team GreenEDGE.
Major crash officers attended the scene along with detectives from Eastern District CIB to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, police said.

Angela Deacon has quite literally experienced every facet that judo has to offer.
In her more than three decade long career, Deacon has transitioned from athlete to Olympic level coach, to now serving as a director on the Combat Australia board.
While her title may have evolved over the years, her love for the sport has not wavered since she started in her dad John's gym at Ulverstone, but it has instead been re-focused.
"My heart was always with judo because that was what I started when I was very young," Deacon said.
"The Combat Australia role allows me to focus on the other sports [like boxing, taekwondo, wrestling, and fencing], but from a judo perspective, I can help to close the gap on us making semi-finals at Olympics to winning medals.
"So I haven't veered away too much [from judo]."
The 53-year-old is the state's greatest judo export, winning a silver medal at her first international competition.
She would go on to win gold at the Oceania Judo Championships in 1992, and become the first Australian female to win the Commonwealth Championships in the under 56 kilogram division.
Throughout her career, Deacon won three national titles and medalled every year over a 12 year period.
As a coach, Deacon led the Australian contingent at two Olympics, one Commonwealth Games and four world championships.
While her involvement in the sport now is more "strategically focused", Deacon still relished watching the next generation of athletes and coaches coming through.
You have to be brave, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions.
- Angela Deacon's message to aspiring athletes
"The other thing for me is that the coaching staff for judo now, at a national level, are the athletes I coached," she said.
"From that perspective, I like to see that we've got longevity and retained their experience, and they are passing it on to the next layers.
"One of the problems in sport generally is that coaches stick around for too long and become outdated. It's been great that we've brought those athletes in and given them an opportunity to be in paid coaching roles."
Calling the Central Coast of New South Wales home now, Deacon still considers herself a North-West Coaster, and fondly remembers the "hard work ethic" that was instilled in her.
With ambitions to one day see more Tasmanians competing nationally in combat sports, Deacon challenged the next generation to "make the hard decisions" for their career.
"You have to be brave, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions," she said.
"When I was almost 18, I made the decision to move to NSW because there was a lot more women [competing] and I was at the stage where I needed to compete with more women more frequently.
"For me the lesson was to be brave and make the right decision, and listen to people with a broader set of knowledge."

It's not often that a team can win twice on the same day, but the Bears pulled it off Sunday. As Chicago polished off the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers lost yet again, and the Cardinals upset the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Panthers' loss and Cardinals' win mean that Carolina clinches the worst record in the NFL ... but because the Panthers' 2024 No. 1 draft pick belongs to Chicago, thanks to last offseason's deal to put Bryce Young in Carolina, the Bears are once again at the top of the draft.
Here is the top 10 of the NFL Draft:
1. Chicago Bears (via Carolina Panthers) 2. Washington Commanders 3. New England Patriots 4. Arizona Cardinals 5. New York Giants 6. Los Angeles Chargers 7. Tennessee Titans 8. New York Jets 9. Atlanta Falcons 10. Chicago Bears
Further down the draft, Washington's seventh straight loss puts them, at the moment, in a statistical dead heat with the New England Patriots, according to Tankathon. Both teams, along with the Cardinals, are 4-12, but the Commanders and Patriots have equal strength-of-schedule ratings. Next week's games will break that tie, as Washington plays the Cowboys and New England plays the Jets. Arizona's win has, at the moment, dropped the Cardinals from the No. 2 spot to fourth.
Down the line, the Giants and Titans are both at 5-11, with the Giants holding a slight edge because of strength of schedule. The Chargers are also at five wins, pending the outcome of their game against Denver. The Jets (6-11) are currently in the No. 8 spot, while the Falcons, Bears and Raiders are all in a statistical and strength-of-schedule dead heat at 7-9.
Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice projects that the Bears will select North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 1 pick, moving on from Justin Fields. "Maye is the complete package at quarterback," Tice writes. "His ability to throw or run for explosive plays, within and outside the confines of the position, all while avoiding an overwhelming amount of negative plays, are the prerequisites for elite modern QB play."
The Bears can officially start to plan — and Bears fans can start to dream — about what to do with that No. 1 pick.

Imboela Raises Alarm Over UPND’s Potential Second Term: A Future Zambia on its Knees?
In a bold and unsettling statement, Saboi Imboela, the president of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, has warned of potential catastrophe should the United Party for National Development (UPND) secure another term in power. This declaration starkly highlights the intensifying political tensions in Zambia, with the nation’s future seemingly hanging in the balance.
Political Tensions Stoke Uncertainty
Imboela’s stern warning, devoid of specifics, has only served to amplify curiosity and speculation, further underscoring the gravity of Zambia’s present political scenario. The NDC leader’s foreboding prediction insinuates a deep-seated concern about the UPND’s governance and its potential implications for the nation’s future.
UPND’s Governance Under Fire
But it’s not just the party’s potential future governance that has come under scrutiny. Imboela, who is also a member of the UPND, has criticized the party for allegedly not paying musicians who performed at an event hosted by UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema at the State House. She claims that Hichilema’s offer of K400,000 as a token of appreciation to the musicians is an inadequate remuneration for their services.
A Nation in the Balance
Imboela’s grave predictions and pointed criticisms have brought to light a contentious political climate. Her statements suggest that Zambia’s future may be at risk if the current party in power continues its reign, and serve as a call to attention for both political leaders and the general public. In the face of such stark warnings, the question remains: What will be the fate of Zambia under a potential further term of UPND governance?

Russell scores 11 in 4th quarter, No. 19 Louisville beats Miami 77-72
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) - Jayda Curry scored 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, Merissah Russell scored 11 of her 12 points in the fourth quarter Sunday and No. 19 Louisville beat Miami 77-72 in a sloppy and disjointed ACC opener for both teams.
Nyla Harris had 13 points - nine in the first quarter - and 12 rebounds for Louisville (12-2), Kiki Jefferson scored 12 and Olivia Cochran finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks.
Ja´Leah Williams hit from behind the arc to give Miami a four-point lead with 6:57 to play, Russell answered with a 3-pointer 18 seconds later. She added two more 3s and a pair of free throws before Harris made a layup with 55 seconds left to cap a 13-5 run that gave the Cardinals a 73-69 lead. Lemyah Hylton made a layup, but Nina Rickards hit a pull-up jumper from the left elbow with 13 seconds left. Williams made the second of two free throws to make it 75-72 about nine seconds later and Cochran capped the scoring with two foul shots.
Hylton led Miami (10-2) with 12 points and Williams scored eight of her 11 in the fourth quarter. Shayeann Day-Wilson, Lashae Dwyer and Jasmyne Roberts added 10 points apiece.
Louisville made 28 of 56 from the field, shot 56% (5 of 9) from 3-point range and made as many free throws (16) as Miami attempted.
The teams combined for 42 turnovers and 41 personal fouls.
Louisville returns home to face Duke on Thursday. Miami plays at Boston College on Thursday.

BISMARCK, N.D. (KXNET) — 2024 is upon us, and as 2023 departs, many of us may enjoy seeing it off by staying up until midnight on December 31st to be present when the calendar flips over — perhaps with a combination of friends, formal wear, and champagne. However, there are many cases where people or families may not be willing to partake in this form of celebration. Thankfully, a new tradition known as ‘Noon Year’s Eve’ has emerged to help those who prefer their festivities early get in the spirit of the new year without the need for such a late night.
Although we were unable to determine where this alternative holiday began, the idea behind Noon Year’s Eve is quite a simple one: while adults and teens (including this columnist) may have no problem waiting until 12:00 a.m. for the grand finale of 2023, those with younger children, older adults, or families may have trouble finding their way to events or staying up long enough as a group for a proper celebration.
While the goal of nearly every Noon Year’s Eve festival remains the same, the actual way that it is celebrated varies between events — some favor more informal options like brunch or light parties, and others choose to host larger get-togethers or glitzy soirees. This festival isn’t just one for families, either: across the United States, many establishments host their own Noon Year’s Eve parties for families and children. This is even the case here in North Dakota, where groups like Bismarck’s Gateway to Science are hosting similar year-end open houses.
“The celebration was an idea we learned when our executive director went to a conference for science technical centers around the world,” recalls Gateway to Science’s Education Director Arin Casavante. “She noticed that it’s a time for families to get together and celebrate the new year without having to attend a later, more adult-focused event.”
“We wanted to celebrate the new year with all of our families,” states the Gateway’s Senior STEM Educator Hope Burdolski, “but midnight is a tough time for families, as well as our staff. We wanted to bring all sorts of STEM learning into the day while still having fun. Parents and families always want to do something during the holidays, so we figured this would be a great opportunity to host an event.”
The Gateway is already known for its’ many events for the children and adults of Bismarck, and Noon Year’s Eve is no exception. Over the course of the celebration, the building’s complete selection of exhibits was opened to the public — and both children and adults were able to enjoy everything the facility had to offer. More thematic events were located on the second floor of the building, and placed a heavy focus on mixing scientific phenomena and ideas with activities in the spirit of the new year and winter as a whole with activities such as stomp rockets, shrinky-dinks, and the creation of winter constellations using toothpicks and marshmallows, as well as periodic laboratory demonstrations of the science behind fireworks and a balloon drop at the end of the festivities. It’s important to note, however, that these workshops do not only serve as entertainment: they also play an important part in helping to educate the children of ND’s capital city.
“We picked all of our activities very deliberately,” Burdolski states. “Play is a huge part of learning. If we can get kids and adults excited about learning, and bring it into things people already care about, that can make a world of difference.”
“We wanted to focus on not just the new year,” Casavante points out, “but the winter season as well. In the wintertime, it gets kind of boring and dreary outside. We wanted to remind people that it’s still a time to play. We wanted to help bring that family in and remind them that they can still learn together, explore together, and have fun, even in this weather.
Although it may not be what many expect in an end-of-year party, Noon Year’s Eve is very well-received by the children and families who celebrate it — and the same can certainly be said for the judging by the crowd that turned out to the building during its three-hour party, it is safe to say that both the Gateway to Science and their open events have quickly captured the hearts of Bismarck’s residents, and will continue to do so for years to come while providing laughter and learning to its’ visitors.
“I hope that everyone can take home different ideas that they can continue to learn with,” notes Burdolski. “With Winter Constellations, for instance, the supplies are very simple: marshmallows and toothpicks. If they have those materials at home, they can continue to keep learning, and then take that idea further by stepping outside and looking at the stars.”
“I’m really happy with the turnout,” Casavant concludes. “It’s showing us that there’s a need for these events in the community. In North Dakota, our most sought-after careers are STEM-related. When we can bring parents together with kids, and show them these entryways into fun and careers, it helps to keep them in ND, and keep them excited for STEM.”
By now, Noon Year’s Eve celebrations across the country have come to a close — but there are still plenty of late-night events where families, older children, or adults can stay up until midnight to greet 2024 with open arms.

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.

Aaron Gordon believes he'll be able to return to the court on Monday to play against the Charlotte Hornets, he told The Denver Post on Sunday.
After missing the Denver Nuggets' last two games, the forward returned to practice for the first time since being attacked by a family dog on Christmas. The lacerations to his face and shooting hand required 21 stitches, and at the time of the incident, the Nuggets gave no timetable for Gordon's return.
Their statement only said that Gordon was "in good condition" after the attack. Gordon spoke to reporters for the first time following the situation.
"I love dogs," Gordon told The Post. "I grew up with dogs my whole life. But because we're on the road so much, my dad's taking care of him, so I can't really train him how I need him to be. ... But I feel good. Everything is fine."
In 28 games, Gordon is averaging 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds. He missed four games due to a right heel injury earlier in the season. He recorded a double-double — 16 points and 10 rebounds in Denver's win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday.
The Nuggets are 23-11, and second in the West behind the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Class came to the fore in the men's Burnie Wheel, with national champion Graeme Frislie storming from the back mark to take out top honours on Sunday, December 31.
The 22-year-old Victorian started off scratch, defeating Malaysian Muhammad Hafiq and Burnie's Dalton Stretton, who finished second and third respectively.
While it was a quick race from the get go, Frislie put in the hard yards to defeat his rivals in a time of 3:10.05 over 3000 metres.
"It was full gas right from the start," Frislie said.
"Those boys out front were really organised so we knew it was going to be tough to catch them, but everyone around me worked really hard and we got there in the end.
"It's always cool to be in those races, it's history every year here. This is the fifth time I've been down here and it's become a real staple of my season."
It has been a successful TasCarnivals series for Frislie, who also took out the Hobart and Launceston Wheels.
He will now turn his attention to taking out the criterium at the Road National Championships in Ballarat on January 5.
In the Women's Wheelrace, Launceston's Lauren Perry claimed a narrow victory over 2000 metres.
The 27-year-old took the win with a time of 2:19.894 off a handicap of 80 metres, defeating Malaysian Nyo Chi Hui who clocked 2:19.897 off a handicap of 130 metres.
Scarlett Sibbel snared third in 2:20.06 off a handicap of 160 metres.
Perry was over the moon, describing it as special.
"I've wanted to do this for years," Perry said.
"This race is really special to me, it has been ever since I won it as a junior, so to do it as an elite for the first time is special.
"My fitness is not in the same place as it usually is as well but there's always something at this track that makes me find a bit extra."
Perry will now travel to Queensland for Sprint training, with aspirations for bigger races towards the end of 2024.

Imran Khan and PTI Party Candidates Barred from Pakistan Legislative Elections
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, and a large proportion of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party’s candidates have been denied the opportunity to contest in the forthcoming legislative elections slated for February 8. This unusual occurrence followed the conclusion of the nomination process for the elections.
Disqualification Amidst Legal Challenges
Currently incarcerated since August, Khan is grappling with several legal hurdles which he alleges are politically calculated to thwart his bid to compete in the elections as PTI’s leader. He was previously found culpable of graft, a conviction which is presently under appeal after a court suspended his three-year sentence.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) barred Khan from the elections, citing his conviction, despite PTI’s submission of his nomination papers. According to PTI spokesperson Raoof Hasan, between 90 to 95 percent of the party’s nomination papers were rejected. Hasan insinuated that the authorities are implementing an ‘agenda’ aimed at excluding PTI from the election.
Unwavering Determination Amidst Opposition
Despite these setbacks, the PTI has made clear its intention to remain in the political scene and not to boycott the elections. Instead, the party has pledged to explore all constitutional, legal, and political avenues, including filing appeals against the rejections.
Imran Khan, 71, was ousted from office after a rift with Pakistan’s military leaders, who initially backed his ascension to power in 2018. Since then, he has led a substantial campaign against the military establishment. He has charged that his removal through a no-confidence vote was the product of a U.S.-backed conspiracy and has claimed that there had been an assassination attempt against him.
Clamping Down on PTI
Following Khan’s brief detention in May, which sparked unrest, a clampdown on PTI ensued, with several party figures either being incarcerated or pressured to leave the party. The ECP is scheduled to reveal the final list of candidates for the elections on January 23.

Philly homecoming is sweet for Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Guess Philly can pin this loss on Jonathan Gannon, too.
Much maligned in Philadelphia for a defense that collapsed in the second half of last season's Super Bowl loss to Kansas City, then roasted for a clumsy exit from the Eagles, the former coordinator showed he still knows how to call the shots at the Linc.
In his first season as Arizona´s coach, Gannon downplayed the significance of returning to Philadelphia. He spent two seasons as defensive coordinator under Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, and Philly had the NFL´s No. 2 defense last season.
Gannon surely enjoyed watching most of his former players get rocked by his current ones.
The Cardinals - not an Eagles team that had so much at stake - played with the grit needed to rally from 15 points down at halftime, total 449 yards of offense and shut down Jalen Hurts in the second half, shocking the Eagles 35-31 on Sunday.
"The year´s been a tough year. We didn´t do enough to earn the right to play in January," Gannon said. "So I was really proud of them down 21-6 versus a good team, you could lay down there and get beat by 30. Our guys did not do that."

Not with Kyler Murray leading the comeback. Murray finished 25 of 31 for 232 yards and three touchdowns, and his two TD tosses in the third quarter tied the game at 21-all.
James Conner ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 32 seconds remaining, and the Cardinals (4-12) held on from there.
"I feel good for the players," Gannon said. "Not for me, man. I feel good for the players."
Gannon enjoyed his pregame reunion tour. He chatted with Sirianni and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. He hugged Eagles general manager Howie Roseman. The homecoming would only get better.
"You guys know I loved it here," Gannon said. "That´s the reason I´m sitting at the podium right now, a huge reason is that organization."
Gannon coached with swagger - though it helped that Cardinals had little to lose.
The Cardinals tied the game when they converted a 2-point conversion. Why not go for it? Tied 28-28, Gannon called for an onside kick. The Eagles recovered but only got a field goal. Conner's touchdown on the next drive was the winner.
"I wanted to make sure at all costs Kyler had the ball in his hand," Gannon said.
Under Gannon, the Eagles led the NFL with 70 sacks last season - 15 more than any other team. Gannon was caught on social media profanely yelling at fans about how much the Eagles would, let´s say, mess up the 49ers in the NFC championship game. The Eagles then backed up their coordinator´s words with a 31-7 romp to reach the Super Bowl.
That´s when things took a turn for Gannon, who took the rap after the loss to the Chiefs. The Eagles coughed up a 10-point halftime lead and couldn´t stop Kansas City´s Patrick Mahomes, even though the MVP wasn´t moving at his best because of a sprained ankle.
Gannon refused to take questions after the game, leaving players such as James Bradberry out to dry, and then his preparation for the Super Bowl was questioned when it was revealed he had been preparing for his interview with Arizona.
The Cardinals said they self-reported that general manager Monti Ossenfort had a phone conversation with Gannon in the days following the NFC championship game, when contact is not permitted under NFL tampering rules. Gannon was hired by the Cardinals two days after the Super Bowl.
Sirianni has said he doesn´t believe Gannon´s head was elsewhere.
Loser of four of five games, Sirianni and the Eagles at this rate might join Gannon as Super Bowl viewers, rather than competitors. Gannon's successor, Sean Desai, already had his play-calling duties stripped and turned over to Matt Patricia.
Hurts threw three touchdown passes but could sense Gannon´s inside knowledge played to his advantage.
"Absolutely. He sat there in those meetings with us," Hurts said. "He´s been in those meetings. He´s heard kind of what we´re thinking in certain situations and we practiced against them every day for the last two years."
Murray wore a Sidney Crosby jersey to the game, then tormented the Eagles much like the Pittsburgh Penguins star has the Flyers for more than a decade.
And much like how another Arizona team, the Diamondbacks, finished off the Phillies in the Major League Baseball playoffs.
In a season with few bright spots, Murray was happy for Gannon.
"I know he wanted to win it really badly," he said. "Just, you know, not alma mater, but his previous team. I would want to win it, so I know the guys felt that energy from him, that we wanted to come out here and do it for him."

Tonight, we end off 2023 with increasing clouds and the return of rain and snow showers. Our best shot tonight will be after 8 PM and follow suit as we get closer to midnight. The lowlands will start off with light rain while the mountains see stray snow showers. Past midnight, the lowlands will see the transition over from rain to snow. Any accumulations overnight will be held to the mountains, across western Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties, and for anyone traveling back home tonight, slick travel will also be possible.
Monday sees our snow showers continue. Western winds will make for a cold morning and afternoon as highs struggle to get into the 30s with “feels like” conditions in the teens. Through Monday night, western Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties will see the most accumulations, where several inches are possible. Across the lowlands, most will see a trace to an inch. As snow showers continue, this can lead to reduced visibility on the roads as well as black ice as roads refreeze overnight.
Tuesday morning will be a tricky morning commute with slick travel possible. A mostly cloudy morning eventually brings in a partly sunny afternoon, helping us warm into the 30s. This will be followed by a mostly clear overnight as we catch a break from the unsettled pattern of the past few days.
Wednesday is also trending dry with high pressure around. In fact, Wednesday looks to be our best shot at sunny skies yet with a mostly sunny afternoon expected. Temperatures will start off in the 20s for your Wednesday morning commute and they’ll look to climb into the 40s by dinnertime. Wednesday evening sees increased clouds and the return of rain and snow showers overnight.
Thursday brings back the chance for snow showers once again. Accumulations look to be light across the lowlands with the mountains getting the best shot at any, though slick travel is possible as a result for both. A few flakes remain possible across the mountain overnight before diminishing as temperatures go from the 30s to the 20s.
Friday brings back high pressure into the region. Cloudy skies to start the morning commute but the afternoon looks promising for partly to mostly sunny skies. Enough sunshine and we look to get temperatures into the 40s as we move into the weekend.
Saturday starts off dry, but we are continuing to watch a low pressure system move into the area during the second half. Some more fine tuning is still needed for this system, but rain and snow showers look possible as a result. A cloudy second half as well with temperatures reaching the 40s.
In your extended forecast, we are watching the chances for some more rain and snow showers to begin 2024. Temperatures will continue their roller coaster ride as they bounce back and forth between the 40s and the 30s. Whenever rain chances do return, always a good idea to have the StormTracker 59 app downloaded.

Victorians partied hard to usher in a new year and police were pleased with crowds across the state after half a million gathered in Melbourne's CBD to watch fireworks displays.
It was an overwhelmingly safe and enjoyable evening for most of the public, Assistant Commissioner Mick Grainger said.
"We saw great crowd behaviour at suburban and regional community celebrations, with people taking responsibility for their own behaviour and looking out for their friends," he said.
"There were only a small number of people who did the wrong thing, but they were dealt with swiftly by police, so the atmosphere was in no way spoiled."
Police arrested 33 people for assaults, sexual assaults, traffic offences and a robbery and responded to 64 fireworks-related incidents, several of which resulted in serious injuries and fires.
In Tootgarook on the Mornington Peninsula, a 57-year-old woman was hospitalised after her house went up in flames believed to have started after fireworks and flares were set off in the street.
Police are treating the fire as suspicious.
An explosion at a Mill Park house left 11 people hospitalised, one with life-threatening injuries.
The fire is not being treated as suspicious.
A 48-year-old Altona woman may lose an eye after an illegal firework struck her face at Altona beach.
"We saw some serious injuries tonight," Mr Grainger said.
"If you're prepared to play with illegal fireworks, be prepared for the consequences of that."
Celebrations in Queensland were dampened by the weather, with smaller crowds than expected turning out in Brisbane.
On the Gold Coast police said a boat carrying more than 100 people ran aground in the broadwater.
The skipper of the boat was charged with drink driving and is expected to appear in court on Monday.
"We had to get the volunteer marine rescue and the police water boars to evacuate all those people to safety in the marina," Superintendent Andrew Pilotto said.
The night's festivities over, another year of uncertainty has dawned with hangovers from 2023 of extreme weather, cost-of-living woes, unaffordable housing and sovereignty conflicts.

Panthers owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink toward a group of Jaguars fans from his luxury box during Jacksonville's 26-0 win over Carolina on Sunday.
Video of the incident from an adjacent box was posted on social media. Tepper is seen tossing the contents of his cup out the window of his box, then slamming the cup down on a bar before walking out of view of the camera. A fan in Jaguars gear then stands up from his seat and climbs up to look into the window of the box. The video cuts off from there.
Not great: #Panthers owner David Tepper appears to have spilled his drink on a #Jaguars fan during today's frustrating 26-0 loss.
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 31, 2023
(📽️ @Kahuna_Med)pic.twitter.com/g9rNiBogsThttps://t.co/g9rNiBogsT
The video did not include audio. WCNC's Nick Carboni reports that Jaguars security inquired about the video. Sunday's game took placed at Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium.
The Panthers didn't provide an immediate response to media requests for a statement after the game. The NFL acknowledged the existence of the video in a statement from spokesperson Tim Schlittner, but didn't initially provide any other response in a statement Sunday afternoon.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the statement reads.
Tepper, 66, has owned the Panthers since 2018. He purchased the team from founding owner Jerry Richardson, who sold the Panthers after a report revealed allegations of sexual and racial harassment during Richardson's tenure as team owner.
The Panthers have failed to make the postseason or produce a winning record during Tepper's five-plus tenure as owner. Sunday's loss dropped the Panthers to an NFL-worst 2-14. But they won't have the No. 1 pick in the draft. They traded their first-round pick last season to the Chicago Bears to acquire the pick to select quarterback Bryce Young, who has struggled during his rookie season.

A first-time appearance at the TasCarnivals series has paid dividends for Victorian sprinting duo, Saye Morris and Mia Spencer.
Contesting the prestigious men's and women's Burnie Gifts on Sunday, December 31, Morris and Spencer overcame their own individual setbacks to secure their respective victories.
For 23-year-old Morris, a hamstring injury saw him pull out of the 100 metre Hobart Gift earlier in the week.
Biding his time and bouncing back, Morris charged through the field in the 120 metre event at the Burnie Carnival, finishing in 12.12 off a handicap of three metres.
Relishing the challenge of being the back marker, Morris said it made the win even sweeter.
"It has been a battle. In Hobart I wanted to run the 100 metre so bad but I couldn't risk it with my hammy so I had to call it," Morris said.
"I love being the back marker for the pure feeling of chasing everyone down. It was an amazing run for me."
Morris edged out former Coaster John Howe, who made it home in 12.17 off a handicap of 13.25 metres.
Burnie young gun Tarj Singleton continued his strong carnival series, securing third spot in 12.26 off a handicap of 9.5 metres.
I love being the back marker for the pure feeling of chasing everyone down. It was an amazing run for me.
- Saye Morris
Ranking the Burnie Gift alongside other noteworthy Australian events, Morris hoped this year's appearance would not be his last on the Coast.
"It was either Stawell [Gift] or Burnie for me. I wanted to take one of them home," he said.
"This year was my first appearance but definitely not my last. It was an amazing event with an amazing crowd."
Morris shared the winning feeling with teammate Spencer, with both athletes coached by Diamond Valley Athletic Club's Scott Rowsell.
I was happy with how I started and knew if I stood up and maintained like I did in the heats I was going to be alright.
- Mia Spencer
Still on a high from taking out the women's Hobart Gift, 20-year-old Spencer felt plenty of emotion.
"I'm overwhelmed and so grateful. I've been working towards a big one for a while," Spencer said.
Starting off a handicap of 10.75 metres to finish in 13.52, Spencer held off Turners Beach talent Chelsea Scolyer, who finished in 13.69m off a handicap of 3.5 metres.
Rounding out the podium was Kayedel Smith, who crossed the line in 13.83 off a handicap of 9.75 metres.
"I was happy with how I started and knew if I stood up and maintained like I did in the heats I was going to be alright," she said.

India: CBI Probes Jaihind TV Over Investments by Karnataka Deputy CM
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has issued a notice to Jaihind TV, a Congress-affiliated Malayalam news channel, seeking details on investments made by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar. This development is part of an ongoing probe into a disproportionate assets case against Shivakumar, registered in 2020. The case alleges that Shivakumar amassed assets worth approximately Rs 74 crore from 2013 to 2018, significantly disproportionate to his known income sources.
Disproportionate Assets Case: A Brief Overview
The CBI alleges that between 2013 and 2018, Shivakumar accumulated assets worth around Rs 74 crore, which are considered disproportionate to his income. The notice, issued under Section 91 of the CrPC, grants the agency the authority to summon any documents related to the case. The CBI has requested Jaihind Communications Pvt Ltd’s Managing Director, BS Shiju, to present the relevant financial documents by January 11.
Allegations of Political Vendetta
BS Shiju, who is also a Congress leader in Kerala, has argued that the CBI’s actions are a clear case of political vendetta by the BJP-led government. He further stated that the channel operates with complete transparency and insisted that there are no illegalities in their dealings. Shiju suggested that the reopening of this case may be an act of political harassment aimed at influencing the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Origins of Jaihind TV
Jaihind TV was launched in 2007 by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi to serve as a counterbalance to ‘Kairali TV’, a channel run by the CPI(M). A group of party leaders founded Jaihind TV as a separate company, as political parties are not allowed to directly operate TV channels.

A Tesla owner was shocked to find their car vandalized after a quick grocery run. Thankfully, the car’s built-in security cameras caught the culprit in the act.
One Reddit user shared the footage on behalf of their friend, the Tesla owner, to warn other electric vehicle drivers. The incident occurred at a Costco parking lot in northern California.
“A guy keyed our Tesla Model 3 for no reason while we parked at the Costco parking lot,” the original poster wrote. “Our camera system on the vehicle has recorded the whole process.”
In the video, a young man is seen loading groceries into the car parked next to the Tesla. After the man pushes aside his empty shopping cart on the curb, he presses a metal bracelet against the passenger side of the Tesla, leaving a deep scratch. The man then returns to his car to flee the scene.
The Tesla owner urged other Redditors to help identify the culprit so that vandals are properly held accountable for their crimes.
“We have already filed a report to the local police department,” the Tesla owner wrote. “For people doing things like this for no reason, or maybe just for fun, if we don’t hold them accountable, [they] might think it’s okay, not a big deal, and next time, your car may get keyed for no reason.”
Unfortunately, this incident is one of many EV vandalism cases that have popped up in recent years. A study by the Electric Vehicle Charging Association reported that over 20% of EV charging stations have experienced some form of vandalism, leading to disruptions in charging services.
There are no concrete explanations for why EV vandalism is on the rise. Some theorize that it may be a product of “green backlash,” which refers to the negative sentiment against environmental progress. Some states have even banned government investments in sustainability initiatives. Others theorize that intimidatory acts against EVs are simply due to jealousy. Either way, the potential explanations behind these behaviors do not excuse the crimes that occurred.
Reddit users reacted to the incident under the post.
“Of course it’s one of those jerks that don’t return their cart,” someone commented.
“Costco will also ban the member and revoke their membership,” another said. “Get a police report as, depending on your state, this could be a felony.”

The Kansas City Chiefs have averted disaster.
Despite another sluggish Sunday, they rallied for a 25-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The win didn't do much to quell concerns about a tepid offense that anchored Kansas City through a 2-4 stretch following their Week 10 bye. But it did secure the AFC West title, avoiding a Week 18 scenario that could have seen them eliminated from the postseason.
The Chiefs got off to a strong start with a 75-yard opening drive that ended with a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Isaiah Pacheco. They wouldn't find the end zone from there.
After the Bengals answered with a touchdown to tie the game, the Chiefs turned the ball over with a fumble on their next possession. The Bengals then took a 17-17 lead that the the Chiefs cut to 17-13 at halftime. From there, kicker Harrison Butker and the Kansas City defense did the bulk of the work.
Butker successfully kicked four second-half field goals to extend a personal 18-0 scoring run over the Bengals as Kansas City shut Cincinnati out in the second half.
The Bengals had a chance to tie the game after Butker's sixth field goal extended Kansas City's lead to 25-17. They converted a fourth-and-18 after Justin Reid sack of Jake Browning at the Cincinnati 38-yard line. But Chiefs defenders sacked Browning two more times to force a fourth-and-27 that the Bengals would not convert.
The stop allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock and clinch an eighth consecutive AFC West title.

Flares are suspected to have started a series of overnight fires in the Strahan area.
One of the fires - in the Lettes Bay Road area - moved towards Regatta Point, leading to concern about potential property damage.
The fire service issued an advice notice to monitor conditions, but it was later downgraded.
That fire and the first reported - in the Henry Street area - were both being patrolled shortly before 8am on January 1.
The third fire was in inaccessible terrain in the Morse Bay and Sarson Close area.
The fire service said crews were heading to that fire, and an aircraft had been allocated.
No property damage had been reported.
Callers who reported the fires said people had been setting off flares.
The cause will be formally investigated.

India Declares Tehreek-e-Hurriyat an ‘Unlawful Association’ under UAPA
In a resolute stance against separatist activities, the Government of India has designated Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, a separatist party, as an ‘unlawful association’ under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). This move is part of India’s ongoing campaign to suppress separatism and uphold national security, most notably in areas that have experienced separatist movements and unrest.
Tehreek-e-Hurriyat under the Scanner
The Centre’s declaration of Jammu and Kashmir-based Tehreek-e-Hurriyat as an ‘Unlawful Association’ comes on the heels of a similar ban on Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction) for analogous anti-national and secessionist activities. The decision casts a spotlight on Tehreek-e-Hurriyat’s involvement in proscribed activities aimed at severing Jammu and Kashmir from India and imposing Islamic rule.
Several criminal cases have been registered against Tehreek-e-Hurriyat under various sections of UAPA, the arms act, and the Indian Penal Code. The group, which was led by Masarat Alam Bhat, currently incarcerated, has been accused of raising funds from a variety of sources, including Pakistan, to carry out unlawful activities, such as supporting terrorist activities and sustained stone-pelting on Security Forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
Implications of the UAPA Tag
Being labelled as ‘unlawful’ under UAPA can trigger a clampdown on the operations of an organization, freeze its assets, and lead to the prosecution of its members. It signifies that the government sees the activities of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat as a threat to the sovereignty and integrity of India, as well as to public order.
Effects on the Separatist Movement
The action against Tehreek-e-Hurriyat underscores the central government’s determination to address issues of separatism through legal and administrative measures. This decision is likely to have significant ramifications for the party’s members and for the broader separatist movement within the country, marking a critical juncture in India’s fight against separatism.

Rising global temperatures have resulted in various consequences — among them, more mosquitoes in North America. Those mosquitoes are bringing various diseases along with them, and experts are saying that the United States is unprepared for the threat.
What is happening?
Over the past five decades, mosquito populations have increased tenfold in North America, according to one paper published in Nature Communications.
Those mosquitoes can carry tropical diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, as well as malaria — all of which have been on the rise in the United States.
Why is this concerning?
At a recent workshop held at the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine in Washington, D.C., global health experts warned of the dangers of ignoring this growing threat.
“If we don’t do anything, which is basically what we’re doing right now, it’s going to get worse,” medical entomologist Tom Scott said. “The damage from inaction is enormous. It’s unacceptable. It’s unethical.”
“We don’t pay enough attention in the United States to what is going on in other countries. We just kind of watch it spread and we don’t prepare ourselves for that virus potentially coming to the U.S.,” Laura Kramer, director of the Arbovirus Laboratory at State University of New York at Albany, said. “That happened with Zika, chikungunya and West Nile.”
What can be done about it?
The experts recommended that in order to cut down on the number of mosquitoes (and the diseases they carry), the United States should follow the example of Singapore, which has fastidiously removed mosquito breeding grounds and teaches schoolchildren about vector control.
“By practising good and regular housekeeping — filling up ground depressions, disposing discarded containers properly, and clearing choked drains and roof gutters regularly — mosquito breeding can be minimised,” a Singapore government agency recommends.
Singapore also has a robust surveillance system that tracks dengue cases and warns citizens when there is an uptick — something that might be more difficult to implement in the United States due to widespread mistrust of medical experts.
If you want to keep mosquitoes away from your home and out of your garden, in addition to dumping out any and all standing water, there are several planet-friendly steps that you can take that do not involve the use of pesticides.

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."
