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.

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.

Perry totaled one reception (on two targets) for five yards during Sunday's 23-13 win against the Buccaneers.
Perry logged two targets during the second quarter, marking his only notable action in Sunday's crucial win for the Saints. The rookie out of Wake Forest has come on somewhat over the second half of the season, but he's still logged more than three targets just one this season. Perry has shown big play ability with two touchdown catches of 20-plus yards this season. However, unless he can find the end zone again Week 18, his fantasy value should remain inconsequential during next Sunday's regular-season finale against Atlanta.

New visa rules come into force on Monday meaning overseas students will no longer be able to bring their families to the UK.
James Cleverly said the ban on the “unreasonable practice”, which affects all but those enrolling on postgraduate research courses and ones with government-funded scholarships, will cut migration by tens of thousands.
His ousted predecessor Suella Braverman announced the measures in May, shortly before official figures showed net migration running at 672,000.
The move could hit universities which rely on foreign student fees and could also harm the UK’s reputation as an international destination, experts have warned.
It means that as of Monday, international students starting courses in Britain are no longer allowed to obtain visas for their dependants, unless they are on a postgraduate research programme or a government-sponsored course.
“This government is delivering on its commitment to the British public to cut migration," Mr Cleverly said.
"We have set out a tough plan to rapidly bring numbers down, control our borders and prevent people from manipulating our immigration system, which will come into force throughout this year.
“Today, a major part of that plan comes into effect, ending the unreasonable practice of overseas students bringing their family members to the UK.
"This will see migration falling rapidly by the tens of thousands and contribute to our overall strategy to prevent 300,000 people from coming to the UK.”
Immigration minister Tom Pursglove said: “Our world-leading universities rightly attract some of the brightest students from around the world to the UK.
“But we have seen a surge in the number of dependants being brought by students, which is contributing to unsustainable levels of migration.”
Revised Office for National Statistic (ONS) figures released last month showed net migration ran at a record figure of 745,000 in the year to December 2022. It stood at a provisional 672,000 in the year to June 2023.
Earlier in December, Mr Cleverly set out a raft of new restrictions that he said would cut numbers by 300,000 a year, including hiking the salary threshold for Britons bringing foreign spouses to the UK to £38,700 ($49,265).
The move was criticised for threatening to tear families apart, with many having their future thrown into doubt as the government considered the details of the policy.
Ministers later rowed back by quietly announcing the threshold would first be raised to £29,000 and then increased in “incremental stages” until spring 2025, which in turn angered MPs on the Tory right in favour of tighter migration controls.
The Home Office said the new package is a “tough but fair” approach, insisting the changes to student visas strike the right balance between “attracting the brightest and best” to Britain but “removing the ability for institutions to undermine the UK’s reputation by selling immigration not education.”
UK university rankings - in pictures
Experts have previously expressed concern about the measure.
Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) think tank, said international students will go to competitor nations if they are discouraged from coming to the UK.
“As a country, we risk cutting off our nose to spite our face,” he warned.
“International students benefit the UK in all sorts of ways. For example, they are vital to maintaining our world-class university sector as their fees cross-subsidise the teaching of home students and also help to fund UK research.
“I don’t celebrate the new changes and I urge ministers to keep a close eye on competitor nations, who may now seek to recruit those people who would otherwise have come here and benefited the whole of our country.”
Labour has backed the restrictions but said they do not go far enough to tackle “deep failures” in skills and training across the UK labour market or boost the country’s sluggish economy.
“Labour supports these restrictions on dependants for overseas students on shorter courses. However, this is nothing more than a sticking plaster,” shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said.
“The Tories’ complete failure to tackle skills and labour market problems is undermining growth as well as increasing migration.”
In the year ending September 2023, 152,980 visas were issued to dependants of students.

So here we go again, the January transfer window is now officially open for what is set to be another incredibly busy month for all 72 EFL clubs.
Here are some of today's best transfer headlines involving teams from the Championship, League One and League Two along with analysis from our EFL 72 team. Sign up to the EFL 72 newsletter below...
Leicester defender wanted in Europe
Wout Faes was among the players expected to leave Leicester following last season's relegation from the Premier League but the Belgian defender has unexpectedly stuck around and been a key player so far this season for Enzo Maresca's Championship leaders. However, the 25-year-old is now attracting suitors from clubs across Europe, with Faes reportedly on the list of potential defensive incomings for Serie A side Atalanta, according to TuttoMercatoWeb .
EFL 72 says: Faes can be commended for sticking around in the Championship so far when many thought it would be a straightforward exit in the summer following relegation. We're not sure Leicester would stand in his way should he want to move but it would be a big dent to there backline going into the business end of the season.
Leeds 'won't fall asleep' in January window
Leeds boss Daniel Farke has reassured supporters by stating that the club "won't fall asleep" in the January transfer window despite an expected quiet month for the club. The German r evealed that he expects the Whites to be quiet in the January transfer market but hasn’t ruled out any incomings and outgoings should the right opportunity present itself.
“Obviously, this club needs stability after too difficult years and also if I'm really honest a very, very difficult spell from August to September,” he said.“We won't fall asleep. We wish for a quiet January but we won't fall asleep and if there are decisions to make, we will make decisions and you never know what happens."
EFL 72 says: Leeds will be eager to keep up with the pack chasing for automatic promotion this season and supporters will be pleased to hear that the club are ready to utilise the market to their advantage should they need to. Keeping focused is important towards the end of the campaign and panicking by making the wrong signings could throw them off course for an instant return to the top flight.
Neville's Salford 'considering appointing co-owner Giggs as new manager'
It hasn't been a season to remember for Salford City so far, as they currently sit just six points above the relegation zone in League Two. The club recently sacked manager Neil Wood following a 5-1 loss to Tranmere Rovers, just a few months after he had guided them to the play-offs last season. The search for another new boss at the Peninsula Stadium is on and, according to a report from the Sun, co-owner Ryan Giggs is in the frame to take over.
EFL 72 says:Salford are starting to look in real trouble this season after several years of being a comfortable outfit in League Two. They haven't won a league fixture since October and it will be interesting to see how someone so well-connected to the club gets on in the hot seat should they be appointed. Managers at the Peninsula Stadium don't often get long, but will this be different if Giggs takes charge?
Hull summer signing could be early window exit
Full-back James Furlong only joined Hull City in the summer but it appears his time at the KCOM Stadium could already be up before it even got started. According to a report from the Hull Daily Mail, Tigers boss Liam Rosenior is set to freshen up his side in the January window, with Furlong one of the names supposedly on the way out.
The 21-year-old arrived on deadline day from Premier League side Brighton but has not played a single minute for Hull since his move from the South Coast. A number of clubs in League One, League Two and north of the border in Scotland are reportedly interested in taking the 21-year-old Dubliner, including former club Motherwell.
EFL 72 says:It's never great to see your name on these sorts of lists having just signed for your new club in the summer but a move a way could actually turn out be the right decision if Rosenior has made it clear that he won't be in his future plans.
Who should your club sign in January? Let us know in the comments section!
Bristol City set to make first signing
One club starting business early in January is Bristol City, who look set to make teenage Irish midfielder Adam Murphy their first signing of the window according to Bristol Live. A move for the midfielder had previously collapsed in the summer but he has now reportedly agreed terms with the club and could be announced as early as next week.
Irish side St Patrick's Athletic will be due compensation of around £200,000 but that fee could represent a bargain for one of the brightest young talents in his country.
EFL 72 says:Plenty of clubs will be impressed by the Robins' sharpness in the window and on a free transfer, this could prove to be a great deal for a player they had already tried to sign previously.

Quordle FAQs: Everything you need to know
What is Quordle?
Where Wordle challenges you to guess a new five-letter word each day, Quordle presents you with four puzzles to solve. And rather than complete them in turn, you do so simultaneously. You get nine guesses, rather than the six for Wordle, but the rules are otherwise very similar.
It's played online via the Quordle website and you can also get to it via the Merriam-Webster site, after the dictionary purchased Quordle last year.
As with Wordle, the answers are the same for every player each day, meaning that you're competing against the rest of the world. And also as with Wordle, the puzzle resets at midnight so you have a fresh challenge each day.
The website also includes a practice mode - which I definitely recommend using before attempting the game proper! - and there are daily stats including a streak count. You also get Quordle Achievements - specific badges for winning a game in a certain number of turns, playing lots of times, or guessing particularly hard words.
Oh, and it's difficult. Really difficult.
What are the Quordle rules?
The rules of Quordle are almost identical to those of Wordle.
1. Letters that are in the answer and in the right place turn green.
2. Letters that are in the answer but in the wrong place turn yellow.
3. Letters that are not in the answer turn gray…
4. …BUT the word you guess appears in all quadrants of the puzzle at the same time, so an A could turn green in one square, yellow in another and gray in the final two.
5. Answers are never plural.
6. Letters can appear more than once. So if your guess includes two of one letter, they may both turn yellow, both turn green, or one could be yellow and the other green.
7. Each guess must be a valid word in Quordle's dictionary. You can't guess ABCDE, for instance.
8. You do not have to include correct letters in subsequent guesses and there is no equivalent of Wordle's Hard mode.
9. You have nine guesses to find the Quordle answers.
10. You must complete the daily Quordle before midnight in your timezone.
What is a good Quordle strategy?
Quordle needs to be approached in a different way to Wordle. With four puzzles to solve in nine guesses, you can't blindly throw letters at it and expect to win - you'll stand a far better chance if you think strategically.
That's the case in Wordle too, of course, but it's even more important in Quordle.
There are two key things to remember.
1. Use several starting words
Firstly, you won't want just a single starting word, but almost certainly two or three starting words.
The first of these should probably be one of the best Wordle starting words, because the same things that make them work well will apply here too. But after that, you should select another word or possibly two that use up lots more of the most common consonants and that include any remaining vowels.
For instance, I currently use STARE > DOILY > PUNCH. Between them, these three words use 15 of the 26 letters in the alphabet including all five vowels, Y, and nine of the most common consonants (S, T, R, D, L, P, N, C and H). There are plenty of other options - you might want to get an M, B, F or G in there instead of the H, maybe - but something like that should do the trick.
If all goes well, that will give you a good lead on what one or sometimes two of the answers might be. If not, well good luck!
2. Narrow things down
Secondly, if you're faced with a word where the answer might easily be one of several options - for instance -ATCH, where it could be MATCH, BATCH, LATCH, CATCH, WATCH, HATCH or PATCH - you'll definitely want to guess a word that would narrow down those options.
In Wordle, you can instead try several of those in succession and hope one is right, assuming you have enough guesses left. It's risky, but will sometimes work. Plus, it's the only option in Hard mode. But in Quordle, this will almost certainly result in a failure - you simply don't have enough guesses.
In the scenario above, CLAMP would be a great guess, as it could point the way to four of the seven words in one go.

(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.

Year in Review: India’s Milestones under Modi in 2023
As 2023 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on a year of significant achievements for India under the steadfast leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A series of photographs serves as a visual chronicle, capturing key moments that symbolize a year of relentless progress, cultural celebration, and human connection.
A Year in Pictures: Modi’s Memorable Moments
The photographs capture the Prime Minister in diverse settings – from the moment of elation when celebrating the successful Chandrayaan-3 landing with ISRO Chairman S. Somanath, to tender moments of interaction with the young and the old, from the metropolis to the remote village of Gunji. There are glimpses of Modi’s casual yet poignant encounters with party workers and animals, underscoring his deep connection with those around him.
Modi’s diplomacy shines through in his engagements with international leaders. Hosting US President Joe Biden, participating in the G20 Leaders’ Summit, and sharing cultural experiences with Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz and France’s President Emmanuel Macron, all encapsulate India’s growing clout on the global stage.
His compassionate side surfaces when consoling cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli after the World Cup 2023 Final, while his spiritual side is apparent during his prayer at Parvati Kund in Uttarakhand. Other notable events include the inauguration of a new educational campus in Mumbai and a visit to a Robotic Park in Ahmedabad.
Economic and Social Progress under Modi’s Leadership
Under Modi’s leadership, India has experienced impressive GDP growth, record GST collections, increased digital transactions, and high export numbers. Women’s empowerment is a cornerstone of his governance, evident in the majority of MUDRA loans and Jan Dhan bank accounts being held by women.
The government’s initiatives have seen India’s defense exports reach $2.88 billion, a 23-fold increase since Modi first came to power. Other achievements include significant support for farmers, crackdowns on terrorist organizations, and a vibrant startup ecosystem with over 100 unicorns and a large number of trained youths under the PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana.
Spotlight on Artistic and Athletic Achievements
Modi has also applauded India’s artistic and athletic achievements. The double Oscar win in 2023 for ‘Naatu Naatu’ and ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ spotlighted India’s creative prowess on a global scale. Additionally, the PM lauded Indian athletes for their performances in the Asian Games and Asian Para Games, the Cricket World Cup, and the victory of the women’s cricket team in the Under-19 T-20 World Cup.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to The Playlist: my weekly column that lets you know who and what to play — when it comes to music or other things in my rotation — for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.
Each week, you'll see a compilation of the pickups you need to make, lineup notes (who's in and out of rotations), followed by key takeaways on the schedule.
So press play and shuffle through the latest fantasy basketball info.
ICYMI:A significant trade went down on Saturday in the Eastern Conference between the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors.
O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn were traded to the New York Knicks
RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick were traded to the Toronto Raptors
Fantasy impact:
Quickley will be the biggest winner of this trade, as he'll see more minutes for a Raptors franchise that likely isn't finished making moves on its journey to a rebuild. With Dennis Schröder moving to the bench, there's a good chance IQ starts from the jump, but remember, the Raptors will still showcase Gary Trent Jr. in addition to Schröder in the hopes of increasing their trade value. Keep your eyes on the prize and ensure Quickley's not available on waivers because he could be the point guard Toronto's been looking for.
Anunoby has disappointed this season, ranking outside the top 100 in 9-category and points leagues. Still, now that he's landed in New York, we'll see a rejuvenated version with more minutes and an expanded role as the third option on offense.
Barrett should become a fan-favorite returning to Ontario, and the change of scenery is probably a good thing. Still, he's outside the top 200 in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points leagues, so he'll have to show more than scoring 18 points per night if he's going to be worth holding onto.
Achiuwa will likely see minutes behind Isaiah Hartenstein with Jericho Sims (groin) out of the lineup. He'll be much-needed depth for the Knicks, who are currently trotting out old af Taj Gibson. He's someone to add to your watchlist in 12+ team leagues.
Who's in my rotation: players to pick up on waivers that are less than 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues
Must adds in Week 11:
Dante Exum - PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks (38% rostered)
Y'all are dropping the ball if Exum is sitting on waivers. Mavs HC Jason Kidd announced that Exum would remain in the starting lineup after Kyrie Irving (heel) is healthy, which means you can confidently hold Exum for the foreseeable future. He's been outstanding for the Mavs and fantasy managers, charting as a top 70 player in per-game value over the last month in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points formats. He's doing everything but blocking shots for fantasy managers, and he is a must-roster, no matter the format.
Nick Richards - C. Charlotte Hornets (34%)
The Hornets' injury reporting is becoming more suspect than Puffy's track record. Mark Williams has been listed as day-to-day since early December, missing 10 straight games with a lower back contusion and no substantive update on when he'll return. Alas, Nick Richards is filling the void, averaging very close to a double-double as a starter this year. He's had a few duds here and there, but he's also provided fantasy managers with four double-doubles over his last six outings. With no clarity on Mark Williams, Richards must be rostered in all leagues.
Duncan Robinson - SG/SF, Miami Heat (50%)
The injury bug is back in Miami, leaving more opportunity for Duncan Robinson to continue his career year. Robinson has been a top 90 player in 9-category leagues for much of the season and will be a consistent scoring threat with efficiency and sneaky assists. He's getting close to 30 minutes per night, which won't change anytime soon.
Players to hold in Week 11:
Derrick Jones Jr. - SF, Dallas Mavericks (20%)
Like Exum, Kidd included DJJ in his starting lineup once Irving returns, which is great for fantasy managers. He's still under-rostered, given his ability to knock down threes and generate stocks. He's averaging 2.4 stocks per game over his last five games, with 13.6 points and 5.2 rebounds. Dallas will play four games in Week 11 with plus matchups against the Jazz and Trail Blazers twice — keep rolling with DJJ.
Alex Caruso - PG/SG, Chicago Bulls (41%)
Over the past week, he's been a top 100 player, posting 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.3 steals in just under 30 minutes per game. As long as he's healthy, Caruso should be rostered. He's a stat stuffer who can raise the floor of your fantasy team defensively.
Malik Beasley - SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks (41%)
Beasley's been trending down over the past week, falling under 50% and quickly approaching only 40%. However, he's heating back up, so grab him if you can. The Bucks have a favorable schedule in Week 11, and the three-point specialist has been cashing threes at a high rate (10 over his past two games). With games on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, you'll likely get multiple days of production from just one transaction.
Day'Ron Sharpe - C, Brooklyn Nets (22%)
A per-minute beast, Sharpe has been a massive boost for fantasy managers lately. He ranked 65th in 9-category leagues in Week 10 and has produced in under 20 minutes per game. Over the past six games, Sharpe has averaged 11.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks while shooting 68% from the field. He's not a good free-throw shooter but the counting stats make him worth holding at the moment.
Players to stream in Week 11:
Tre Jones - PG, San Antonio Spurs (47%)
Jones' minutes have been steady over the last three games, with at least 27 minutes each. He's filled up the stat sheet, posting 9.6 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds while shooting an efficient 55% from the field. The Spurs play on two of their three games on Tuesday and Thursday, making him a viable stream in Week 11, assuming his minutes hold.
Patrick Williams - PF, Chicago Bulls (45%)
He's not a must add, considering two of his three matchups are against the Sixers and Knicks, but he's been useful and a top 100 player in 9-category leagues over the past two weeks. He's scored at least 13 points with a three-pointer in seven of his last eight games. He could sneak in a couple of stocks, too.
Malaki Branham - PG/SG/SF, San Antonio Spurs (9%)
Pop's rotations have been interesting, to say the least. He's tried Jeremy Sochan and now Branham at point guard before giving Tre Jones a shot. Branham's started the past 11 games for San Antonio and is averaging close to 11 points with three rebounds and three assists across 19 starts this year. It's nothing huge, but similar to Jones, playing on Tuesday and Thursday can get a couple of days' worth of production out of one transaction. His three positional eligibility helps, too.
Jonathan Kuminga - PF, Golden State Warriors (32%)
Draymond Green is rumored to return sometime between January 4-7th, which means Kuminga's days are likely numbered as a starter. But before we officially begin the countdown, JK's scoring and rebounding could be valuable this week. The Warriors play on Tuesday and Thursday as part of their four-game week, so he'll get run on the lighter slates.
Watchlist for Week 11:
Goga Bitadze - C, Orlando Magic (22%)
Wendell Carter Jr. missed Friday and Sunday's games with knee soreness, which offered up two starts for Bitadze, where he didn't disappoint. He's blocked at least one shot in 11 of his last 12 games and is averaging 2.6 stocks in 21 starts this year. If you need blocks and Wendell sits, he's worth streaming with the Magic playing four games in Week 11.
Jabari Walker - SF/ PF, Portland Trail Blazers (4%)
Deandre Ayton (knee) and Duop Reath (back) missed the past two games, and Walker broke out in a significant way in Saturday's win over the Spurs, delivering a career-high 25 points (7-11 FG, 11-13 FT) with nine boards, one assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes off the bench.
Other streaming options:
Shallow leagues:
Immanuel Quickley - PG/SG, Toronto Raptors (62%)
Brandin Podziemski - SG, Golden State Warriors (57%)
Jaden McDaniels - SF/PF, Minnesota Timberwolves (51%)
Kelly Oubre Jr. - SF, Philadelphia 76ers (47%)
Deep leagues:
Dario Šarić - PF/C, Golden State Warriors (25%)
Gary Trent Jr. - PG/SG, Toronto Raptors (36%)
Keyonte George - PG/SG, Utah Jazz (32%)
Paul Reed - PF/C, Philadelphia 76ers (32%)
Donte DiVincenzo - SG/SF, New York Knicks (23%)
Aaron Nesmith - SF/PF, Indiana Pacers (27%)
Jalen Smith - PF/C, Indiana Pacers (17%)
Cody Martin - SG/SF, Charlotte Hornets (2%)
Rotation notes:
X-rays negative on Heat F Jimmy Butler's foot
The play: Butler's missed eight games this season, but the foot injury is new. Heat HC Erik Spoelstra didn't provide an update on Butler's status, so he's already been ruled out for Monday. Fantasy managers can assume he'll be limited in Week 11, so keep riding with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson.
Nuggets F Aaron Gordon (dog bite) expects to return on Monday
The play: Peyton Watson can be dropped now that Gordon is trending towards playing on Monday. This is a welcomed news update, as it seemed like Gordon would miss an extended period dealing with lacerations on his face and shooting hand.
Daily Games Played:
Monday: 8
Tuesday: 6
Wednesday: 12
Thursday: 2

Grupe converted on 3-for-3 field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 point-after tries during Sunday's 23-13 victory over Tampa Bay.
Grupe made a significant impact for the first time since the Week 12 loss to Atlanta. The rookie out of Notre Dame went just 1-for-2 on field-goal tries over the previous four contests, but he converted three field goals of 28 to 45 yards Week 17. Grupe also remained perfect on his 33rd and 34th PATs of the season, and he has now converted 28 of 35 field-goal tries over the first 16 games of his career. He'll look to finish his rookie season strong when the Saints vie for a potential playoff spot with a Week 18 win versus Atlanta.

5 Phoenix firefighters seriously hurt after crash; SUV driver arrested for DUI
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — Six people, including five firefighters, were rushed to the hospital after a collision involving a Phoenix fire engine and an SUV on the city’s west side early Sunday morning. Police say the driver of the SUV, 30-year-old Alexis Alcantar Mendoza, has been arrested for DUI.
It happened around 1 a.m. near 75th Avenue and Thomas Road when Phoenix police say Mendoza ran a red light and collided with a Phoenix Fire Department heavy rescue vehicle. Phoenix Fire officials say all five firefighters, as well as Mendoza, were able to get out of the vehicles on their own before help arrived. All six were taken to area hospitals in serious but stable condition, fire officials say.
Mendoza has since been released from the hospital and booked into the Maricopa County jail. Four of the five injured firefighters have also been discharged from the hospital.
The crash remains under investigation.

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.”

How to protect your new Xbox
Your Xbox doesn't have the most robust security—but a VPN can put a stop to threats, cheaters, and blocks.
1. The best VPN for Xbox
2. How to pick a VPN
3. How we test
4. FAQs
Picture the scene—you're finally booting up the Xbox you got for Christmas, you're planning to spend the last few days of 2023 plugged into it, and it's going to be the best Christmas you've had since you were a kid. The last thing you want is for some dodgy hacker or a PO'd cheater to ruin the fun. Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can keep your shiny new Xbox safe.
I've been putting VPNs to the test for years and have plenty of hands-on experience—and I'm an avid gamer, too. So, you can rest assured that you're getting real tips from a real person (who has been playing way too much Baldur's Gate.)
Check out one of the best VPNs in the business, and you'll have everything you need to keep your Xbox safe from hacking attempts, disruptive DDoS attacks, and even bandwidth throttling that can impact your online gaming experience—and that's just the tip of the iceberg. In this handy guide, I'll share my top Xbox VPN picks, and what features to look for when making up your mind.
The best VPN for Xbox in 2024
Anyone who's spent time on the web (or is chronically online, as the kids say) will know that it's not always the safest place to be. Hackers, cybercriminals, and nosy Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are all hungry for your data, and oppressive governments can even restrict your access to certain sites and services by censoring them entirely.
That's where a VPN can help. Virtual private networks (VPNs) create a secure tunnel between your device and a remote server. Any data that travels through this tunnel is encrypted and unreadable, and you'll also look as though you’re in the same location as the VPN server. As a result, you'll have boosted your digital security, protected yourself from threats that would otherwise cause havoc on your console, and be able to access geo-restricted content. It's a win/win/win.
Encryption is also how a VPN puts a stop to DDoS attacks. Cyber criminals (and sore losers) initiate these attacks by flooding your IP address with junk traffic that clogs up the network, slowing it to a crawl and preventing it from operating as it should. A VPN gives you a new, temporary IP address, however, making it much harder for anyone to disrupt your gaming session.
1. ExpressVPN: my #1 pick for your Xbox
ExpressVPN is the industry's top dog. Why? It's super-fast, has sleek apps for all your devices, and even has handy guides to help you secure your Xbox with a minimum of stress. Check out ExpressVPN, without risking a cent, with its 30-day money-back guarantee, and see what all the fuss is about.
2. Surfshark: a budget-friendly provider packed with value
Looking for a bargain? Surfshark has you covered. It's a great value service that balances security, unblocking power, and speed, and even boasts unlimited simultaneous connections. Be sure to put its 30-day money-back guarantee to the test, and try the best cheap VPN for yourself, in your own time.
3. NordVPN: lightning-fast and privacy-oriented
NordVPN is a favorite of YouTubers and gamers alike, thanks to its absolutely ridiculous speeds. It's the fastest VPN I've ever tested, and an all-in-one security solution that'll block ads and put a stop to malware that could devastate your console. Take NordVPN for a test drive with a handy 30-day money-back guarantee.
How to pick a VPN for your new Xbox
There are hundreds of VPNs on the market, and nobody has time to sift through them all. To help you out, I've put together a list of the most important factors to keep in mind when shopping for a winner.
Speed: this one's a no-brainer, seeing as the last thing any gamer wants is for a VPN to slow their connection to a crawl. A fast VPN will keep latency to a minimum, provide a stable performance, and ensure that whether you're going at it in competitive team games or raiding with friends, you don’t have to worry about lag.
Server locations: most VPNs have servers dotted across the globe, which is great for gamers who want to grab the best bargains on today's (massively expensive) AAA releases, or even pick up titles that aren't available in your region. You can also connect to a VPN server near the game's server to crack down on ping.
Security: VPNs come jam-packed with tools designed to keep your personal information secure from hackers and crafty cybercriminals. Look for OpenVPN and WireGuard encryption to defend against DDoS attacks and a strong no-logs policy, as well as a kill switch that'll ensure that you don't accidentally leak information in the event of a VPN dropout.
With a VPN, you'll have everything you need to stop cheaters from targeting you with DDoS attacks—all while putting a stop to lag spikes, packet loss, and bandwidth throttling.
Ease of use: nobody wants to spend more time configuring their VPN than actually playing their games (especially if you're like me and have a "to-play" list as long as your arm.) Quick and easy setup is a must, and you'll need to make sure your VPN pick is compatible with the devices you own, whether that includes a PC, mobile phone, console, or router.
Price: everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment, thanks to the cost of living crisis, and it's important to get your money’s worth. Your ideal VPN will depend on your budget, but there are awesome options for every price range. Free VPNs can be handy in an emergency, but they generally lack the features you need to keep your Xbox safe—like multiple simultaneous connections, a broad network of servers, and a kill switch.
Customer support: things go wrong—it's inevitable. So, you'll need a VPN with a reliable support team who can handle even the most techy of questions (and handle them quickly.) Check out whether your chosen VPN offers live chat support, and whether it's manned by humans or robot overlords, and take a look at the support materials available on the provider site that might help you do some troubleshooting yourself.
How we test VPNs
Putting VPNs under the microscope is what we do here at Tom's Guide, and we run through a comprehensive analysis of the best 30 VPNs every 6 months to ensure that we're working with the most up-to-date information.
Our testing process is seriously thorough, and it all begins with the provider's website. We'll take a look at the VPN’s claims and whether they seem too good to be true, the privacy policy and its small print, and even see how many tracking cookies crop up. This gives us a sense of the VPN's commitment to user privacy right off the bat.
Then, we download and install the VPN, and we'll put each app to the test. This lets us know how well the VPN performs, across all platforms, and helps us spot whether any apps are missing key features. We'll move on to testing those features, then, and that includes things like the kill switch and split tunneling. Basically, we're making sure that everything works the way the VPN says it will.
We get the hammers out, next to stress test the VPN’s encryption. Throwing malware and other nasties at the provider helps us spot potential problems—and we'll report them straight to the VPN itself if we spot any. However, we'll also let you know what happened, too.
Speed comes next, and we test each service's performance at least 120 times over the course of two sessions. We use a US home connection and a 1 Gbps UK data center to get a clear picture of how the VPN works in the real world. We'll switch up protocols, check out different sites and services, and try connecting at peak times. This is also when we'll see which streaming platforms the service can reliably unblock—and whether it's a standout Netflix VPN.
If you'd like all the details about how we put VPNs through their paces, you can head on over to the VPN testing methodology page for the full run-through.
Xbox VPN FAQs
Which is the best VPN for Xbox?
ExpressVPN is my #1 pick for Xbox—and my personal favorite. Admittedly, it's on the pricey side, but you're getting a premium product for a premium price tag. ExpressVPN is lightning-fast and has servers in 94 countries, which is great news if you're playing with international friends online or hunting down the best deals in other regions, and has easy-to-use apps for just about every device you can imagine.
How do I use a VPN on my Xbox?
Getting a VPN installed on your Xbox can be a somewhat fiddly process—but don't worry, it’s not impossible. Life would be so much easier if you could download a VPN directly to your Xbox via the Microsoft Store, just like you do with a PC or a mobile phone, but sadly, that's not the case. Why? Well, technically, your Xbox isn't designed to work with a VPN.
First things first, you'll need to pick an awesomely reliable gaming VPN and subscribe to whichever plan suits you best. Different providers have different ways of connecting to your Xbox, but the most common methods are:
Setting up Smart DNS on your Xbox
Sharing your VPN connection via another device
Installing the VPN on your router
No matter which option you choose, your VPN provider should be able to help you out—either with support materials, community threads, or 24/7 live chat support.
Disclaimer
We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services.

Zambian Judge’s Suspension Sparks National Debate
In a move that has sparked a national debate, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has suspended High Court Judge Timothy Katanekwa, citing allegations of incompetence and consistent failure to deliver judgments promptly. The suspension has drawn both support and criticism from various quarters, making it a contentious issue in Zambia’s political and judicial landscape.
Unfounded Grounds of Suspension
Peter Sinkamba, the president of the Green Party, has publicly challenged the suspension. He claims that the reasons provided by President Hichilema for suspending Judge Katanekwa are unfounded. Sinkamba’s critique underscores the delicate balance between judicial independence and political influence, a topic that has now been thrust into the limelight.
Support for the Decision
On the other hand, governance expert Wesley Miyanda has backed President Hichilema’s decision. His support suggests that there are segments within the political and judicial spheres that believe in the necessity of this move. It has sparked a debate about judicial practices and the potential for political interference.
Re-evaluating Judicial Competence
Judge Katanekwa has been given the option to resign or defend himself before the Judicial Complaints Commission (JCC) within a 30-day window. This situation has prompted a re-evaluation of the definition of incompetence for judges, a standard established in 2016. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for future evaluations of judicial competency in Zambia, marking a potential turning point in the country’s judicial history.

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.

Moreau caught his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 23-13 victory over the Buccaneers.
Moreau logged exactly 13 receiving yards for the third week in a row. However, he recorded his lowest of number of targets over this span, as he had totaled 11 targets over the previous four games. The 26-year-old took a backseat role behind top tight end Juwan Johnson, who recorded team highs in targets (12), receptions (eight) and yards (90) versus Tampa Bay. The latter tight end seems to have reclaimed his role as New Orleans' top tight end over the past two games, as he has now logged 19 targets over the past two games after totaling just eight over the previous three contests. With Johnson and No. 1 wideout Chris Olave in position as the team's top pass catchers to go along with numerous other receiving options, Moreau's workload should remain minimal Week 18 against Atlanta.

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.”

The Tourist season 2 preview
The hotly anticipated second series of the award-winning smash hit series The Tourist sees Jamie Dornan and Danielle Macdonald reprise their roles as amnesiac former reprobate Elliot Stanley and zany constable Helen Chambers. Only this time, the odd couple have delved so far into Elliot’s past they’ve ended up in Ireland.
Greg Larsen is also back as Ethan Krum, Helen’s horrible fiancé, plus there’s a whole new rogues’ gallery of characters, including Detective Ruairi Slater (Conor MacNeil), Niamh Cassidy (Olwen Fouere) and the menacing McDonnell family – Donal (Diarmaid Murtagh), Orla (Nessa Matthews), Fergal (Mark McKenna) and Frank (Francis Magee).
Set in the Australian outback, the first season of The Tourist introduced Elliot as a sympathetic lost soul far from home, trying desperately to piece together his past after a near-fatal car crash.
Fast-forward a little, and it turned out that our protagonist wasn't such a good guy after all. Having stolen a large wad of cash from his ruthless handler, Kosta Panigiris (Alex Dimitriades), he ran away with Kosta’s fiancée, Luci (Shalom Brune-Franklin), so it’s little wonder so many people are out for his blood.

Gray but dry start to 2024
Drizzly weather returns Tuesday
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - High temperatures are sitting in the mid 40s for most of us across the metro area. Unfortunately, that morning fog barely lifted for most of us in the valleys, so we stayed pretty gray all day. We might see a similar situation play out tomorrow, with patchy fog developing overnight but not much clearing later on. The mountains did see a few sun breaks! We’ll be staying dry for New Year’s Eve celebrations and through New Year’s Day. Temperatures will be similar tomorrow, in the mid to upper 40s.
Tuesday looks gray and drizzly as a weak system comes through with some leftover showers possible Wednesday morning. Models are in pretty good agreement that Wednesday and Thursday will be mainly dry days. A trough dropping into the region at the end of the week will bring us cooler, wetter conditions Friday through Sunday. Light rain is expected for the most part, but we’ll at least see some snow accumulating in the Cascades. Right now models are pointing to at least 6 inches around Government Camp through Sunday.
Temperatures will stay in the 40s all week. This is very typical stuff for early January-- gray and showery at times.
Happy New Year and cheers to 2024!

Global Cities Gear Up for Grand New Year’s Eve Celebrations
As the clock ticks down to the New Year, cities across the globe are preparing to welcome 2024 with grandeur and festivity. The annual New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square, accompanied by performances by renowned artists such as Paul Anka and Flo Rida, is one of the most anticipated events. The live stream of this spectacular event, hosted by Jonathan Bennett and Jeremy Hassell, will commence at 6 p.m. Sunday.
Best and Worst Cities for New Year’s Eve
A recent study by WalletHub has ranked the top cities in the U.S. for ringing in the New Year, taking into account factors such as entertainment, food options, costs, and safety and accessibility. With an array of offerings, Orlando, Florida, and San Diego, California, occupy the top spots, while New York City, despite its iconic ball drop event, is in the third position. On the other end of the spectrum, North Las Vegas, Nevada was ranked as the least favorable city to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
New Year’s Eve Around the World
The New Year’s Eve is celebrated uniquely in different parts of the world. From church services in Ghana and South Sudan to Soviet-influenced festivities in Azerbaijan, and from colorful fireworks in Egypt to music countdowns and barbecues in South Africa, each nation has its special way of marking the arrival of the New Year. Even within the same country, different communities have their distinct traditions. In Bangladesh, for instance, Muslims and Hindus have their unique ways of celebrating the New Year.
New Year’s Eve Live Nashville’s Big Bash
In addition to the Times Square event, CBS is hosting ‘New Year’s Eve Live Nashville’s Big Bash’, a star-studded party featuring Grammy-nominated artist Elle King and Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith as hosts. The event, set to air live on December 31, 2023, will also provide live coverage from New York’s Times Square. Viewers can tune in to CBS, Paramount, or FuboTV, or use an indoor TV antenna to catch the celebrations.

The Rams looked like a veteran-heavy team entering the 2023 season. Matthew Stafford, older quarterback. Cooper Kupp, aging receiver. Sean McVay is a veteran coach. It looked like a team rolling out the same old stuff.
Another preseason narrative goes into the shredder. The best thing anyone could have done this fantasy season is prioritize a couple of emerging Rams right before the season, or in the first week of free agency.
The Rams escaped with a one-point win at the Giants on Sunday, and it was the fresh faces that paced the offense. Second-year running back Kyren Williams had 101 total yards and all three Los Angeles touchdowns, pushing to the top of fantasy's running back board. Rookie receiver Puka Nacua didn't break the game, but his 118 receiving yards were tops on the team. It was a fitting fantasy capper for two of the stories of the year.
Christian McCaffrey was probably the best fantasy player you could have rostered this year (an injury-clouded Week 17 to the side), but not everyone had a real chance at McCaffrey. He was an early pick in every room. If you were slotted late in the first round, he was never an option.
But anyone with summer intel to Williams or Nacua (or an aggressive FAAB tint in Week 1) was likely to land one of these guys, perhaps both. Williams and Nacua each had global ADPs outside the top 200 the final week of draft season and were unrostered in the majority of Yahoo leagues.
Nacua's signal was unavoidable in Week 1 — he threw a 10-catch, 119-yard masterpiece at the Seahawks. Williams was more subtle — although he had a pair of touchdowns, he managed a modest 52 yards on 15 carries. Cam Akers also had 22 rushes that day, though they went absolutely nowhere (29 yards), with a touchdown, too.
So after Week 1, we were wondering if Williams was good enough to take command of this job and if Nacua was good enough to hold onto significant market share even when Kupp (who would miss all of September) eventually returned.
An emphatic yes on both counts.
The Williams season had three parts to it. He rolled out an RB7, RB4, RB26. RB3, RB30 and RB2 opening to the year, before suffering an ankle injury in late October. Some shrewd fantasy managers might have traded for Williams while he was hurt, mindful of the delicious late-season schedule the Rams had waiting. Williams went into smash mode for the final third of the year, finishing RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11 and RB1 (in progress) the last six weeks.
That's what a league winner looks like.
Maybe Nacua isn't a grand slam like Williams, but he's still been a home run. He entered Week 17 as the WR7 in half-point PPR scoring (cumulative points), and the WR9 if you prefer a per-game average. He's had monster games with Kupp and without Kupp. It's amazing the Rams found this snappy rookie with the 177th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
It's been a quirky year for rookie pass catchers. Tight end Sam LaPorta is challenging for the TE1 spot, and Zay Flowers looks like a sure star. Jordan Addison and Rashee Rice have been reliable, Tank Dell was very good before a leg injury ended his year. Jayden Reed can play.
But there have been frustrating moments, too. Quentin Johnston might have been a first-round mistake. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been part of a crowded and slightly underwhelming Seahawks offense. Marvin Mims Jr. teased us for weeks but never could do enough to get a Denver promotion. To be fair, Mims has made his share of rookie mistakes, too.
The LAR breakouts remind us that draft capital isn't the be-all and end-all. Williams was the 164th pick in the 2022 class, similar to where Nacua was taken last spring. No team is right with even the majority of its offensive evaluations, but if Sean McVay and Co. like a player, I'm at least going to take a second look.
And I know how important the September FAAB process often is. This year, there was a fantasy title, hiding in plain sight. You just needed to look west.
Other Week 17 Heroes
— It was no surprise to see mobile quarterbacks percolating to the top of the Week 17 leaderboard. To be fair, Lamar Jackson crushed Miami with his arm — five touchdown passes, 35 rushing yards. Looks like he'll lock up his second MVP before the ball drops in 2024. Hopefully, his second career playoff win isn't far behind. Jackson's 36.34 Yahoo points were easily tops for the position, with athletic maestros Justin Fields (313 total yards, two scores) and Kyler Murray (256 yards, three scores) settling in the 20s.
Josh Allen stands at QB5, and it was all from his legs — he only threw for 169 yards, but he ran 11 times for 44 yards and two scores. The Bills offense has been a strange watch since Joe Brady took over for Ken Dorsey.
— Arizona's stunning upset at Philadelphia had another hero: James Conner. He turned 27 touches into 133 yards and two scores. Volume and goal-line equity are wonderful things. If you kept the faith with Travis Etienne Jr. and De'Von Achane, you were rewarded. Etienne rushed for 102 yards and a couple of scores, and Achane was dynamic despite Miami's blowout loss, generating 137 total yards and a touchdown on 18 touches.
— Saturday night gave us a strong receiver push, with CeeDee Lamb (13-227-1) torching the Lions and Amon-Ra St. Brown (6-90-1) providing his usual drumbeat. They had name-brand company Sunday; Davante Adams was dominant (13-126-2) if you had the nerve to stick with him, DJ Moore (9-159-1) continues to click with Fields and Brandon Aiyuk (7-114-1) was part of San Francisco's expected get-back win at Washington.
Of course, there will always be plenty of receiver misses and disappointments; it's the ultimate boom/bust position. Tyreek Hill only posted a 6-76-0 line, not what we expect on 12 targets. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 13. The puzzling Stefon Diggs slump continued: four catches, 26 yards. His last spike came in Week 12; he's been a fantasy headache for two months. The Philadelphia passing touchdowns surprisingly went to Julio Jones (two) and Dallas Goedert (one), which meant A.J. Brown (4-53-0) and DeVonta Smith (3-30-0) came in well under their projections.
— Waiver-wire hawks were rewarded at tight end, where Juwan Johnson dominated at Tampa Bay (8-90-1) and Isaiah Likely picked up two touchdowns. It's also possible David Njoku (6-134-0) was scooped off the wire a few weeks back; he's looked like an All-Pro ever since Joe Flacco joined the Browns. Njoku would have had a much better game Thursday if the Jets fought back even a little bit.
As we send this piece to the editors, Travis Kelce is sitting on three targets, two catches, six yards. Other than Isiah Pacheco, no one on the Chiefs had a decent first half. Some things are too depressing to think about right now, but we'll have more Kansas City (and late-game thoughts) when I update this column later on Sunday.
I hope you get what you need. I hope you're planning a parade for the following week.

Williams tallied 19 carries for 58 yards and gathered in all four targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 23-13 win over the Buccaneers.
Williams logged six carries for just nine yards during the first half and appeared on pace to record another underwhelming statistical outing Week 17. But, his workload saw a sharp increase after top running back Alvin Kamara was ruled out with an ankle injury early in the second half. Williams went on to record season highs in both rushing attempts and yards. While he never logged a carry longer than seven yards, the 224-pound running back proved much more effective during the second half, averaging 3.8 yards across 13 carries. Williams also played a much larger role than Taysom Hill. The versatile 33-year-old has often been used as a rushing threat while lined up at quarterback in the shotgun alongside Kamara, but he totaled just two carries Week 17. With Hill's role in the rushing game diminishing over the back half of the season and Kamara's availability unclear for New Orleans' regular-season finale, it will be worth considering Williams as a potential fill-in option for fantasy owners in need of a RB2 in Week 18.

Internet Revolution on The Horizon: How Users are Steering the Ship
The internet is on the brink of an unprecedented transformation, echoing the seismic shift witnessed in the year 2000. Rapid technological changes, rising dissatisfaction with the primary search engine, growing concerns over privacy and online surveillance, and the proliferation of messaging platforms are all contributing to this impending revolution. As we sail into these turbulent waters, Elon Musk’s proposed ‘everything app’ named X emerges as a beacon of his visionary aspirations.
Resurgence of the ‘Human Web’
One of the most significant trends shaping the current digital landscape is the resurgence of the ‘human web.’ This shift champions the role of individuals and smaller entities in regaining influence over the internet’s trajectory, potentially challenging the dominance of major internet corporations. The emergence of new social networks like Mastodon and Bluesky, which offer unique experiences and governance models, epitomizes this trend. Their rise contrasts starkly with the decline of Twitter, reflecting a shift in user preferences for more diverse and creative digital platforms.
Regulatory Changes and Their Impact
A series of regulatory changes in the European Union and a landmark court ruling in the United States could further catalyze this internet revolution. These decisions may compel tech giants to open up their platforms, potentially leading to a broader array of consumer choices and spurring product innovation. Such shifts could pave the way for a return to the internet’s halcyon days of the 1990s, marked by diversity, creativity, and a greater role for individual creators and communities.
Driving Forces of the Internet Revolution
Interestingly, the driving force behind this impending change appears to be the internet’s users themselves, rather than tech tycoons. This shift suggests that the coming years will witness a democratization of the internet, handing control back to the users. The digital landscape of the future may look radically different from today, potentially upending established power dynamics and ushering in a new era of internet culture and innovation.

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

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

Bowden reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-13 win versus the Buccaneers.
Bowden caught a pass for the fifth time in the last six games for the Saints. His one reception marked merely a minor bump in production after the 26-year-old failed to log a target during last week's loss to the Rams. He was also once again overshadowed by top slot receiver Rashid Shaheed, who was back in the fold for the third game in a row after missing time with a thigh injury. The latter wideout logged two receptions on three targets while also handling returner duties on both punts and kickoffs. With Shaheed seemingly fully healthy, it's likely that Bowden will keep remain an afterthought in terms of fantasy relevance during the Week 18 matchup versus the Falcons.

Actress Lily Gladstone on Decolonizing Gender: An Indigenous Perspective
In a profound reflection on Indigenous perspectives on gender, actress Lily Gladstone, of Blackfeet and Nez Perce heritage, has shed light on her preference for using ‘she’ and ‘they’ pronouns, a choice deeply rooted in her cultural upbringing. The 37-year-old actress, raised on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana, delves into the nuances of gender representation in Indigenous communities, recalling instances of misgendering Native boys with long hair.
Language and Gender in Indigenous Cultures
Gladstone points out that most Indigenous languages, including Blackfeet, eschew gendered pronouns, resorting instead to a universal ‘they’ or implying gender through names, which don’t strictly adhere to binary norms. A testament to this is her own grandfather, who was given a name typically associated with women, an indication of the cultural fluidity inherent in Indigenous gender roles.
A Personal Stand Against Colonized Gender
For Gladstone, the use of non-binary pronouns is not just a personal preference, but a stand against the colonization of gender. She emphasizes that gender roles within her community are distinct and not confined to Western binary norms. Her adoption of ‘they’ alongside ‘she’ is an acknowledgment of this distinctiveness and a pushback against the imposed binary.
The Interface of Gender with Profession and Ceremony
Gladstone extends her conversation on gender to her profession and cultural ceremonies. She expresses ambivalence about gendered awards categories in acting, appreciating the historical need to prevent the erasure of women actors but questioning the consistency of using gender-specific titles like ‘actress’ when similar terms are not used for other roles in the industry. She also shares her experiences with gendered spaces in ceremonies, an aspect of her culture that she navigates with respect and understanding.
In this exploration of gender through the lens of Indigenous culture, Lily Gladstone offers a unique perspective that challenges the normative understanding of gender roles, presenting a case for the inclusion and recognition of non-binary identities.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration on Sunday said that Reckitt/Mead Johnson is voluntarily recalling batches of powdered infant formula over bacterial contamination concerns.
According to a news release, the FDA said that Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula Products were being recalled. The specialty formula is a hypoallergenic infant product used by infants who are allergic to cow’s milk.
The formula came in 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans and was recalled over the possibility that the product had been contaminated by Cronobacter sakazakii, the FDA said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cronobacter sakazakii is a germ found naturally that can live in dry foods including powdered infant formula.
“Getting sick from Cronobacter does not happen often, but infections in infants can be deadly,” the CDC said. “Cronobacter infections in infants less than 12 months old are often linked to powdered infant formula.”
The FDA said that 675,030 cans of the formula were recalled on Friday after the agency was notified that the formula sent overseas tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii by the Israeli Ministry of Health, CNN reported.
The FDA said that no illnesses have been reported so far and that most of the formula distributed in the U.S. has likely been consumed. Nutramigen in 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce containers was manufactured in June 2023 and distributed primarily in June, July, and August 2023, the agency said.
“All product in question went through extensive testing and tested negative for the bacteria,” Reckitt/Mead Johnson said in a news release.
The batch codes for the products are:
• ZL3FHG (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FMH (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FPE (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FQD (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FRW (19.8-ounce cans);
• ZL3FXJ (12.6-ounce cans).
The products have a UPC of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and “use by date” of “1 Jan. 2025,” the FDA said.
According to the agency, consumers with Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder bearing those batch numbers should not use them and dispose of them immediately.
Consumers with questions can call the company at 866-534-9986 at any time, or by email at consumer.relations@rb.com.
“We are committed to the highest level of quality and safety and it is for this reason that we have taken this measure,” Reckitt/Mead Johnson said in a statement. “Other testing of the batches in question tested negative for Cronobacter and other bacteria.”

Shaheed reeled in two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 23-13 win against Tampa Bay.
Shaheed logged one of his least productive receiving performances of the season, including tying for his second-fewest targets of any game this season. Unlike most contests this season, the 6-foot speedster didn't see any targets on deep passes. Instead, he fulfilled his usual role as a slot receiver who catches passes at or near the line of scrimmage. Meanwhile, quarterback Derek Carr was locked in on Juwan Johnson, targeting the big-bodied tight end on 12 of his 32 passing attempts Sunday. The Saints also established an early lead and got up 17-0 at halftime, which likely deterred the team from pushing the ball downfield much in the second half. Shaheed also still finished tied for fourth on the team in targets behind Johnson, Chris Olave (six) and running back Jamaal Williams (four). Shaheed will look to make a bigger impact as the Saints vie for a playoff spot Week 18 versus the Falcons.

Judi Love Expresses Outrage Over Racial Profiling Incident
Renowned television presenter and stand-up comedienne, Judi Love, has voiced her indignation after a disconcerting incident of racial profiling during a shopping expedition with her children. In a revealing post on social media, Love explained how a security guard at a famous store singled her out to produce a receipt for her purchases, a demand not imposed on other customers who were clearly dissimilar to her.
Exposing Discrimination and Advocating for Respect
In the face of this apparent discrimination, Love chose not to comply with the guard’s request, confronting him about his motives. The incident, which unfolded in front of her children, deeply upset Love, but she stood her ground, not only in her capacity as a public figure but also as a mother imparting principles and respect. While Love has chosen not to publicly disclose the store’s identity, she has communicated with them directly to address the issue.
A History of Confronting Racism
Love, who is a mother to an 18-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son, has been vocal about her encounters with racism in the past. She has shared experiences of verbal abuse and instances where she was overlooked for job positions despite being better qualified. Love has also opened up about the secondary trauma she has endured as a result of historical racism and the implications of watching documentaries on slavery.
Black History Month: A Call for Positive Narratives
As an advocate for Black History Month, Love has urged for a shift in focus from the negative aspects of black history towards the positive contributions and achievements of black individuals. This recent incident of racial profiling has undoubtedly reinforced her commitment to this cause, and her determination to educate the public about these pervasive prejudices.

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

Walker (shoulder) rushed the ball 10 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for 22 yards.
Walker was having a strong performance and was well on his way to 100 total yards from scrimmage. However, he aggravated his shoulder injury on a hard hit early in the third quarter, and despite being deemed probable to return, he never retook the field. That casts doubt on his status for a Week 18 matchup against the Cardinals, though he'll likely do his best to play through the issue in a must-win game for the Seahawks to have a chance at the postseason.

2023 in Sports: A Year of Triumphs, Tragedy, and Transitions
The year 2023, a year that was marked by a plethora of major events in the world of sports, has come to an end. These events encompassed triumphs, significant deaths, retirements, and the impact of political issues on sports. The sports world began the year on a somber note, mourning the loss of Italian legend Gianluca Vialli and Brazilian icon Pele, both succumbing to their battles with cancer.
Historic Achievements
In a series of triumphs, basketball star LeBron James made history by breaking the NBA’s all-time scoring record previously held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Napoli claimed their first Italian Serie A title since 1990, and Erling Haaland led Manchester City to their inaugural UEFA Champions League victory. The Denver Nuggets, with Nikola Jokic at the helm, secured their first NBA title. Lionel Messi received his record-extending eighth Ballon d’Or, with Max Verstappen winning his third consecutive Formula 1 title.
Remarkable Retirements and Transfers
The year also saw the retirement of several football stars, including Gianluigi Buffon, Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard, Mesut Ozil, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cesc Fabregas, and David Silva. The transfer market was buzzing with Jude Bellingham moving to Real Madrid and Harry Kane transferring to Bayern Munich. Neymar made a notable switch from Paris Saint-Germain to Al Hilal.
Challenges in the Sports World
Despite the triumphs, the sports world was not devoid of challenges. Damar Hamlin’s critical condition during an NFL game, Martina Navratilova’s cancer diagnosis, and the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine on sports events like the Australian Open, which banned Russian and Belarusian flags, were some of the major adversities faced.
The year 2023 was filled with captivating moments, record-breaking performances, and emotional victories across various sports. As we usher in 2024, the sporting world looks forward to another year of thrilling competitions and inspiring stories.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (AP) — Harrison Butker was a career-best 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts, Kansas City held the Bengals scoreless over their final seven possessions, and the Chiefs rallied to beat Cincinnati 25-17 on Sunday to clinch their eighth straight AFC West title.
Patrick Mahomes had 245 yards passing and a touchdown for Kansas City (10-6), which also secured at least the No. 3 seed and one home playoff game. Isiah Pacheco ran 18 times for 130 yards while Rashee Rice had five catches for 127 yards.
The Bengals (8-8), fighting for their own playoff lives, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game.
With one last chance, Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd to convert a long fourth down and get into Kansas City territory, but back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones gave the Chiefs eight on the day and ended the Bengals' comeback hopes.
Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception.
Butker converted from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards, accounting for the game’s final 18 points.
The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as the Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase.
The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal fouls.
The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon's touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball.
Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning's 1-yard TD run.
Butker's first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for a field goal to trail 17-13 at the break.
As the Chiefs' defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life.
They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker's third field goal. And after the Bengals had to punt, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker's chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead for good.
INJURIES
Cincinnati WR Tee Higgins left in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. He returned to the game but didn't have another catch, finishing with one for 19 yards.
Kansas City WR Justin Watson hurt his chest in the third quarter but returned to the game.

Henry rushed the ball 12 times for 42 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans. He was targeted once but did not record a catch.
Henry was limited by game script, as the Titans found themselves down by 20 points before halftime. He was held to his lowest carry total since Week 11 as a result and was held under 50 rushing yards for the third time in his last four games. He's masked his yardage shortcomings by finding the end zone twice in four of his last six games, though he's become an unreliable weekly option down the stretch of the fantasy season.

Comeback move: Adani raises $15 bn in equity, debt
Adani saw almost $60 billion of his personal wealth erased after Hindenburg Research in a January 24 report accused his group of market manipulation and accounting fraud.
NEW DELHI: Billionaire Gautam Adani’s sprawling conglomerate has raised over $5 billion (Rs 41,500 crore) in equity and a double of that in debt this year as the apples-to-airport group made a comeback since being hit by a bombshell short seller report.
Adani, who was the world’s second-richest man at the start of the year, saw almost $60 billion of his personal wealth erased after Hindenburg Research in a January 24 report accused his group of market manipulation and accounting fraud.
The group denied all allegations and reworked its strategy, fuelling a comeback that now has the tycoon some $36 billion short of where he started the year and two notch and $12 billion shy of rival billionaire Mukesh Ambani.
Star investor GQG Partners bought stakes worth almost $4.3 billion in five group companies between March and August while Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and French energy giant TotalEnergies poured in $770 million in renewable energy firm Adani Green Energy Ltd, according to company filings and stock exchange data.
Parallelly, the promoters infused $4.6 billion in repaying loans against shares, servicing loans taken for cement acquisitions and supporting green investments. While the equity raise helped shore up investor confidence, the group re-established its bankability with $6.4 billion of loans raised across five companies and refinancing of $3.5 billion debt taken to fund the 2022 acquisition of ACC and Ambuja Cement.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Out of playoff contention and faced with uncertainty about Bill Belichick’s future, the New England Patriots battled until the final whistle Sunday for their longtime coach.
Quarterback Bailey Zappe and the Patriots were resilient despite dropping to 4-12 following a 27-21 loss to the division rival Buffalo Bills. New England, which defeated Buffalo once already, stayed competitive and made it a one-score game in the final quarter despite turning the ball over on four of their first six offensive series and falling behind by two touchdowns.
“Obviously a terrible first 20 minutes,” Belichick said. “From there, we battled away. But obviously gave them too big of a lead and couldn’t get it back.”
Amid speculation of major offseason changes looming in New England, the Patriots refused to give up on the season while also continuing a trend of being unable to put together four quarters of good football.
Before hosting the New York Jets in a meaningless season finale, the Patriots already have more losses than in any of Belichick’s 24 seasons in Foxborough – and the most since going 2-14 in 1992 in closing Dick MacPherson’s two-season stint as coach.
Down 20-7 by the 2 1/2-minute mark of the second quarter and falling behind 27-14 after allowing Josh Allen’s second of two 1-yard touchdown to open the third quarter, the Patriots mustered a response.
“No one lost belief, no one lost faith, obviously no one quit,” center David Andrews said.
Too many mistakes – not customarily seen during the Patriots’ near two-decade run of dominance under the tandem of Belichick and Tom Brady – ultimately cost them.
Zappe’s first pass attempt was tipped by cornerback Rasul Douglas and intercepted by diving defensive tackle Ed Oliver. Douglas picked off Zappe’s third attempt at New England’s 14 to set up Allen scoring on a 1-yard run. And on the quarterbacks’ first completion on the next drive, Christian Benford ripped the ball away from tight end Pharaoh Brown.
Douglas intercepted Zappe again early in the second quarter and returned it for a 40-yard touchdown that gave the Bills a 20-7 lead.
“Things like that are going to happen,” said Zappe, who finished 16-of-26 passing for 209 yards, while rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown. “But it’s how you respond, how you come back to the next series, and how you play.”
After finishing each of the past 17 seasons with a positive turnover margin, New England is minus-10 this year.
A Patriots defense that limited Allen to 15-of-30 for 169 yards passing and two TDs rushing bent in the final 5:02 by allowing Buffalo to convert three third-down opportunities to run out the clock
“Proud of the way the whole team fought,” Andrews said. “Showed a lot of mental toughness bouncing back from those. Just wasn’t enough in the end. Too much to overcome.”
That mental toughness, Andrews said, is a trait Belichick has instilled in the Patriots.
Players are looking ahead to their last game of the season.
“Because we know next year we won’t have the same guys on our team,” defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. said. “So we can give it all we got, play for each other, and go out there and ball.”
Having guided the franchise to six Super Bowl championships but now playing out his third losing season in four years, Belichick was asked what it would take to restore “The Patriot Way.”
Belichick responded on typical fashion: “We’ll get ready for the Jets next week.”

2024: A Year of Promise and Excitement
The dawn of 2024 brings with it a sense of exhilaration and anticipation.

The year is set to be punctuated with marquee events such as the Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Paris, the U.S. Presidential Election, and the long-awaited return of humans to the moon’s orbit.
Leap into the Future: The Olympics, Paralympics, and the U.S. Presidential Election
February 29th, a rare day that only surfaces during a leap year, will coincide with two significant global events. The Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games in Paris are set to usher in a new era with the debut of breakdancing as an official sport and a move towards equal gender representation among athletes. Meanwhile, the U.S. will be engrossed in the Presidential election, a key event that will shape the country’s future.
Celestial and Cinematic Marvels
A total solar eclipse will cast its shadow across North America on April 8th, a spectacle that won’t be witnessed again until 2044.

Towards the Moon and Beyond
In a significant stride for space exploration, NASA’s Artemis II mission is slated to return humans to the moon’s orbit for the first time since 1972. The mission will include the first Black astronaut and the first woman astronaut to walk on the moon. This mission isn’t just a trip down memory lane; it’s a stepping stone towards a long-term lunar presence and a testbed for various capabilities.
Screen Magic and Sonic Waves
Television will see the premiere of new shows like ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’, ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’, and ‘Shōgun’, while favorites like ‘Bridgerton’ and ‘House of the Dragon’ make a comeback. The year also marks the 20th anniversary of Facebook’s launch, commemorated by a docuseries from the BBC. In the realm of music, Jennifer Lopez is set to release her first studio album in over two decades, signaling a triumphant return to the music scene.
Sports and Cultural Milestones
The sports arena will be enlivened by the introduction of a 12-team playoff system in college football. Meanwhile, the public domain is set to welcome works from the 1920s, including ‘Steamboat Willie’ and ‘The House at Pooh Corner’, enriching the cultural milieu.

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.

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.”

Addison (ankle) is listed as active Sunday versus the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Addison departed the Vikings' Week 16 loss to the Lions with a sprained ankle and wasn't able to return to action. He then opened Week 17 prep with no activity before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions and entering the weekend with a questionable designation. Early Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Addison was in line to play Sunday, and Minnesota has confirmed as much by not including him among its inactives. Addison thus will be taking on a Green Bay defense that has been torched by opposing wide receivers to the tune of a 43-632-5 line on 54 targets over the last three games.

Is it true that you are searching for approaches to smooth the entire writing cycle of expository essays? It needs a high-indent investigatory attitude to show thoughts. Just as the need to assess current realities and the placement of arguments are available. How to write a good essay strategy means having an all-around requested essay.
To accomplish what you are searching for demands a rule follow-up. This is to do things all together. We are not free to write anything we desire with blended headings. We cannot likewise pick things as indicated by our decision, and instructors won't offer acceptance hints.
To remain in the lane and trained, we as a whole observe the set guidelines. Thus, we need to keep the guideline academic style for this.
Wonderful essay writing:
- To deliver an impeccable write-up in expository terms, there is zero-tolerance for one-sided and obstinate stuff. You need to spin around realities and just realities all through the essay.
- Take notice that you need to start from ground level at whatever point you are sitting to do the writing. So don't anticipate that your peruser thinks about this thing, or they should as of now have thought and are very much aware of these ideas, and so forth.
- This method of taking a start won't ever at any point work. Remember when instructors come to convey a talk? How does he respond? He starts from stage one to take every one of the understudies with him. The standards he considers for the general IQ level of understudies are "normal". So he doesn't give addresses for particularly sharp understudies, nor does he take his level beneath standard insight.
- You must be on the same examples to hold dream essay writing and enhance the expository essay's construction.
- Consider your crowd has no clue about the crowd, and you will make them very much aware. Thus, be sufficiently convincing to pass on your ideal message with reality.
- The writing style or to address the crowd utilization of third-individual expressions will work. Indeed, you can apply a second-individual account style, however, the third individual is more gainful.
Unquestionable requirements element and properties:
All things considered, a cause and effect essay has some key attributes;
- A restricted topic is one of the principle essentialities. At the point when you restricted down the examination, it helps you a great deal to return direct toward the finish of each section. For instance, assuming you decide to write about wellbeing, it is too wide; obviously, you cannot cover every one of the viewpoints. To abbreviate the topic, you can write about the most accounted wellbeing instances of infants in Africa or your country.
- Clearly, your substance ought to be organized and in a legitimate manner. Along these lines, to enrich your subtleties and explanation, you need supporting writing methods, ie, accounts or brief tales, citations or popular expressions, depictions, various diagrams or outlines, precise definitions just as measurable figures, and so on.
Have you done sufficient quest for format?
- Generally, for any kind of essay, we write five passages. The first comprises of a presentation; then, at that point, the last one is for ends and recommendations. At long last, the leftover three passages are named as body sections where you can examine focuses exhaustively.
- In particular, in the expository paper, you can surpass five passages. Your need is to do equity with your realities and facts. Thus, the essay writer should keep on track and give the meriting space to every statement. Should add the fundamental statement toward the start of the presentation.
Specific methodologies for expository essays:
However, you can pick any method that meets your topic and proposal point. Also, a blend of a few methods can be able. We are mentioning some most useable methods for your benefit.
- The class of essay where we do cause and effect analysis.
- There is a kind of essay that can be utilized for examination and differentiating purposes.
- You can likewise pick an approach to talk about issues and then, at that point, give arrangements.

Emergency responders rescued two men from a remote area in Standish on Sunday after they became trapped in a flooded area.
A dispatcher for the Cumberland County Regional Communications Center confirmed Sunday night that two males had been rescued from the Steep Falls Wildlife Management Area, which is located off the Acres of Wildlife Road in Standish.
Details of the rescue and what the men were doing in that area were not immediately available, but initial reports said they were hypothermic and needed help.
Standish Fire and Rescue responded to the scene on Sunday afternoon with mutual aid provided by the towns of Sebago, Limington, Gorham, Baldwin, Hollis and Buxton, as well as the Maine Warden Service. Attempts to reach Standish’s fire chief and the Maine Warden Service were unsuccessful Sunday night.

Indo-Australia trade deal boosts engineering exports despite import surge
India’s engineering imports from Australia reached USD 355.02 million during April to October 2023-24.
KOLKATA: One year after the India-Australia Economic and Trade Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) came into effect, engineering exports to Australia reached USD 944 million in April-November 2023-24, a 3 per cent increase.
However, imports from Australia also saw a significant 30 per cent upswing during the same period. India’s engineering imports from Australia reached USD 355.02 million during April to October 2023-24.
Despite the sharp surge in imports, EEPC India chairman Arun K Garodia remains optimistic, pointing to a positive engineering trade balance of USD 471 million between April and October 2023-24. This, he says, underscores the resilience and competitiveness of India’s engineering sector.
“While imports have increased more than exports in the short term of the new trade deal, we remain optimistic about the long-term benefits for the engineering sector. We expect a surge in exports to Australia, especially with their recent efforts to curb domestic industries and increased reliance on imports,” Garodia said..
He added this could attract them to other countries like India under the free trade agreement, particularly as they become accustomed to importing from diverse sources with the “China plus one” strategy.

22-year-old Anamika Sharma Skydives with Ram Temple Flag Ahead of Grand Consecration Ceremony
In a striking act of courage and tribute to her cultural heritage, Anamika Sharma, a 22-year-old woman from Prayagraj, India, leaped from an altitude of 13,000 feet in Bangkok, while unfurling a flag depicting the Ram Temple. This daring feat aligns with the upcoming grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, set to occur on January 22. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is among the invited attendees to this momentous event.
Anamika’s Leap of Faith
Anamika’s skydive is not just a personal achievement, but also a gesture of honor towards her city of Prayagraj, and the sage Bharadwaj, recognised for his contributions to ancient aeronautics. Her act carries a deeper significance in Thailand, a country where the Hindu deity Hanuman, known for his heroic leaps in the mythological epic Ramayana, is widely revered.
Familial Influence and Pride
Anamika’s mother expressed immense pride in her daughter’s accomplishment. She emphasised the daring nature of the skydive, highlighting that her daughter had accomplished something even a boy of her age might not dare to do. Anamika’s father, Ajay Kumar Sharma, a retired army personnel and an experienced skydiver himself, has been a significant influence in her life. Having practiced skydiving since childhood under her father’s guidance, Anamika’s leap is a testament to her skill and dedication to the sport.
Implications Beyond Borders
Anamika’s feat resonates not only on a personal and national level, but also internationally. The depiction of the Ram Temple on the flag she unfurled is a symbol of India’s cultural heritage and a nod to the spiritual connection between India and Thailand. This gesture serves as a testament to the influence of Indian mythology and spirituality beyond the geographical boundaries of the nation.

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.

The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.”
The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

(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.

Kamla's New Year's plan for TT – 'UNC will restore law and order'
THE Opposition Leader used her New Year's Day message to lay out the UNC's vision and mission for Trinidad and Tobago if it returns to government when the next general elections are called. She said this mission begins in 2024.
She began her message by making clear that while she wished all a happy new year, there was nothing to be happy about in reality when one considered "the record" number of murders, home-invasions, robberies and other crimes, coupled with a declining economy, new taxes, looming increases in utility rates and an increase in the cost of living.
Pointing to the US Embassy's recent warning to American citizens about travel to TT, and that several communities have been highlighted as danger zones internationally, Persad-Bissessar accused government of giving no assurances to ending illegal drug and gun imports by sealing off "TT's porous borders, improving surveillance, and boosting detection rates."
There are no efforts at improving the inefficient criminal justice system through radical and urgent reform, she claimed.
She accused Dr Rowley of hiding from the Opposition which has been calling for stakeholder-involved crime talks,with him choosing instead to play public relations games with the citizenry."
At the dawn of 2024, there is no government assurance about a fresh resolve to stamp out criminality and secure our besieged nation. Citizens have been told to fend for themselves."
"I genuinely wish every citizen a happy new year, but I know there can be no happy one unless strategic interventions are urgently implemented to stem the criminality in our land and to fix the broken sectors," Persad-Bissesar said.
WHAT UNC WILL DO
The former prime minister said all of TT must work today to improve safety, security, and prosperity for all, if there is to be happiness in the new year and to prevent tomorrow's generation from inheriting a, "criminal-run, failed state where the killing of men, women, and children becomes normalised to the point of no return." She then set out a UNC government's mission.
"I declare today that it is the mission of the United National Congress to do what this current government is either unwilling or unable to do – restore law, order and prosperity to our great nation.
A safe and prosperous Trinidad and Tobago must be the State's foundation for its citizens, she said.
"The UNC has been presenting concrete plans and policy alternatives to address our nation's pressing challenges. We are committed to crafting solutions that prioritise the well-being of all citizens, irrespective of background or circumstance." She then set out the party's objectives:
* Passing Stand Your Ground legislation to give right to use lethal force within homes against criminals.
* Ensure law-abiding citizens easy access to legal firearms.
* Implement judicial and prison reforms, as well as retool the TTPS with modern training, equipment and a competent leadership team.
* Bring back Community Comfort Patrols.
* Widen funding for educational and training programs including the Government Assistance for Tuition Expenses (GATE) Programme, to ensure youths have access to an education for a better life away from crime.
* Eliminate the property tax and other nuisance taxes along with an extensive deregulation of the bureaucracy hindering the business sector.
* Eliminate unfair and excessively high fines "this Government has implemented to terrorise the population."
* Work with the business community and use the full power of the state apparatus to end the scourge of extortion and robberies.
* Have an all-of-Government approach that accepts addressing crime extends beyond policing and legislative actions.
She said a comprehensive governance component in addressing crime must also encompass social welfare, healthcare, business development, employment opportunities, and education.
To further develop effective crime-fighting strategies, she said the UNC intends to host public anti-crime consultations in the new year, to which all stakeholders will be invited to attend.
"Given that this government’s negligence has plunged our nation into the abyss, we must now unite to fight the wave of terror sweeping our nation regardless of what side of the political divide we as citizens may have stood in the past," Persad-Bissessar said.

A Year of Turmoil and Triumph: Malta’s 2023 Journey
In the course of 2023, Malta found itself in the eye of the storm, facing a year filled with events that were as compelling as they were tumultuous. The archipelago experienced a gamut of significant incidents, from heart-wrenching tragedies to scandalous affairs, moments of justice, and the thrill of sporting victories.
Tragedies and Pursuit of Justice
The year opened on a somber note with the tragic death of Pelin Kaya, a young Turkish pedestrian, who fell victim to a fatal car accident in Gzira. The nation also grappled with the aftermath of the construction site death of Jean Paul Sofia. His mother’s tireless quest for justice culminated in the government’s decision to establish a public inquiry into the incident, marking a significant stride towards ensuring workplace safety.
Scandals that Rocked the Nation
The year was also marred by scandals that shook the nation to its core. Revelations of fraudulent practices in driving tests stirred the public’s trust in the system. The former Labour MP Silvio Grixti and other officials were implicated in a scheme to distribute disability payments fraudulently. Adding fuel to the fire, former Labour MP Rosianne Cutajar was found guilty of holding a bogus consultancy job at the Institute of Tourism Studies, as per the National Audit Office’s findings.
Legal Developments: Annulment of a Controversial Deal
In a landmark legal development, the courts annulled a contentious government deal that had handed over control of three state hospitals to Vitals Steward. This decision underscored the necessity of transparency and accountability in public-private partnerships.
Sporting Achievements Amidst Chaos
Amidst these challenges, Malta also witnessed moments of triumph, particularly in the realm of sports. The Small States of Europe saw the Maltese athletes basking in glory, and the Malta women’s football team ended the year on a high note, offering a glimmer of hope and resilience amidst the prevailing chaos.
As we bid adieu to 2023, Malta stands on the cusp of a new year, carrying the lessons of the past and hoping for a future marked by justice, integrity, and sporting excellence.

Blackmon (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Blackmon sustained a shoulder injury in the Vikings' Week 16 loss to the Lions. He was a limited participant in Minnesota's last two practices this week and is good to go in a pivotal NFC North clash. With Byron Murphy ruled out ahead of Sunday's game with a knee injury, Blackmon should draw the start at corner alongside Akayleb Evans.

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

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.

North Coast Road landslip
ACCESS on the North Coast Road which was completely blocked on Saturday, has been restored albeit to just a single lane following clearing up work by the Ministry of Works and Transport.
About ten metres of the road in Maracas was affected by the landslip which occurred on Saturday night.
Newsday visited the scene around 10 am on Sunday and did not observe any major traffic disruptions although orange cones were placed at the site to alert the public.
It was observed that the area of the cliff where the landslip occurred, still had loose rocks and partially uprooted, medium-sized trees and plants clinging to its surface, posing a potential hazard of further slips especially in heavy rainfall.
On Saturday, the ministry issued a statement advising about the slip saying it was located about 1.5 km from the Maracas lookout.
The release added that a team and equipment were sent to clear the debris. At that time, the public was advised to take alternative routes or avoid the area all together.
The TTPS also issued a release on Saturday, saying that at around 8.45 pm, officers of the North Eastern Division responded to calls about the landslip.
It said the landslide caused major damage to the roadway and advised the public to use the Blanchisseuse Road to enter the area and the North Coast Road via Arima to exit.

Adjarhor Obaro: The ‘World Wrapper Man’ Who Runs for Culture
Today, we take a deep dive into the remarkable life of Adjarhor Obaro, also known as the ‘World Wrapper Man’. This ultra-runner and cultural ambassador from Delta State, Nigeria, has etched his name into the annals of unique adventures and cultural expression.
From Cadet to Ultra-Runner
Obaro’s road to becoming an athlete began at Government College Ughelli, where he was a cadet. The marathon-like activities he experienced there ignited a passion for ultra-running that has persisted since 1985. His running prowess has seen him complete awe-inspiring runs, like the 22-day journey from Lagos to Abuja, and other long-distance runs traversing Nigeria and Europe. Despite a medical condition that threatened his survival, Obaro’s determination has seen him defy odds and persist in adventures that would daunt the average person.
An Unconventional Cultural Ambassador
Obaro’s cultural advocacy took root when he represented his father at an Urhobo event at the University of Benin. He broke with convention and chose to attend the event clad in traditional wrappers, a choice that marked the beginning of his journey as a cultural ambassador. In his quest to promote his culture, Obaro attempted to set a record for the longest wrapper, even seeking recognition from the Guinness World Records. Although he faced roadblocks, such as being excluded from showcasing his wrapper at the COJA GAMES, he remained undaunted.
A Man of Many Talents
Aside from running, Obaro possesses a multitude of talents. He has displayed a keen interest in photography and culinary arts, aspiring to create the world’s largest food library. His life is a testament to the power of determination, cultural pride, and the pursuit of passions, regardless of the obstacles that come one’s way.

New year musings: Promoting holistic education, creating meaningful connections
As we step into the new year, individuals from various fields share their aspirations for the year ahead
CHENNAI: As we step into the new year, individuals from various fields share their aspirations for the year ahead.
I eagerly anticipate increased discussions about the necessity of cultural education in schools. I also hope to witness fewer children succumbing to the pressures of life and experiencing reduced levels of depression. It’s crucial to create an educational environment that supports not just academic growth but also the emotional well-being of students. On a personal note, I am excited about dedicating more time to my family – my husband, daughter, and our beloved dogs. Strengthening these familial bonds and creating lasting memories is a priority for me in the coming year.
- Charanya Kumar, founder and CEO, Chittam
In 2024, my professional expectations centre around engaging and collaborating with diverse artists, makers, and designers, not only within our field but across various disciplines. I aim to actively participate in the creative community through our studio. As an illustrator, I am eager to experiment with new forms using illustrations and see how my art evolves across different canvases, particularly exploring Art Decor as a category. Adaptability is crucial in our field, where continuous learning and versatile thinking contribute to remaining relevant and impactful. Additionally, I look forward to achieving a work-life equilibrium, and nurturing a healthy creative practice as I navigate the exciting opportunities and challenges that 2024 holds
- Varshini Ramakrishnan, design strategist and illustrator
My company has been teaching coding to disabled youngsters for a while. In 2024, my goal is to make education accessible and affordable for all children. I want to address the issue where students from low-income families often don’t pursue higher education and settle for small jobs. I hope, as a community, we can bring positive changes.
- Manu Sekar, founder, HashHackCode
There seems to be a lack of awareness regarding the significance of religious and traditional paintings among the current generation. In 2024, I hope to witness a greater understanding and appreciation for the value of art among young individuals. It’s crucial to raise awareness about the artists and their contributions to traditional paintings from the past. Promoting this awareness through media channels is essential. Cultural figures and celebrities could play a vital role in endorsing and supporting those artists. By highlighting the importance of these art forms, we can contribute to the preservation and recognition of our cultural heritage.
- KR Jayakumar, founder, Chithiraalayam Art Gallery
In 2024, my focus is on immersing myself in personal experiences and embracing the present moment. I anticipate curating meaningful experiences that captivate all the senses, fostering a connection among people.
- Divya Pandurangam, artist

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.
