(The Hill) — Taylor Swift and Beyoncé set the music world on fire in 2023 with massive, globe-spanning tours, and their influence seeped into the world of politics as lawmakers and other political figures named-checked them.
Here are a few of the most noteworthy moments in which the worlds of politics and pop culture converged over the last year.
Jason Aldean and “Try That in a Small Town”

Country singer Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July despite heavy controversy.
The song faced backlash for both its lyrics, which include lines like, “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, Stomp on the flag and light it up, Yeah, ya think you’re tough, Well, try that in a small town, See how far ya make it down the road,” and its music video.
The video was filmed in front of a Tennessee courthouse where a Black man was lynched in the 1920s. Country Music Television (CMT) pulled the music video, drawing a negative reaction from Aldean himself on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” Aldean said.
Republicans like former President Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) came to Aldean’s defense amid the controversy.
“Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way. MAGA!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
Beyoncé gets honored on the House floor

The “Formation” singer, who has had a packed year with “The Renaissance World Tour” and the release of a film of that tour, was honored in March on the House floor by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif).
“I rise today to commemorate the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month by honoring an individual who represents both so well,” Garcia said.
“She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she’s now and forever the moment,” he added.
Garcia also referred to the “Alien Superstar” herself as a role model who “stood up for voting rights, for feminism, for women and girls, for my community — the LGBTQ+ community.”
“For my generation and so many others, she simply is the greatest of all time,” he continued.
RuPaul and anti-drag queen bills
RuPaul helps present the Emmy for outstanding limited or anthology series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, Sept. 12, 2022, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
The self-proclaimed “queen of drag” had some thoughts on recent anti-drag show legislation that he shared back in March.
In a video on Instagram, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” host said that bills aimed at drag performances were a tactic to distract from more important issues.
“Hey, look over there! A classic distraction technique — distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on: jobs, health care, keeping our children safe from harm at their own school,” RuPaul said.
“But we know that bullies are incompetent at solving real issues,” the host continued.
“They look for easy targets so they can give the impression of being effective,” he said.
Dylan Mulvaney and the Bud Light backlash

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney partnered with Anheuser-Busch in April for an advertisement that included her posing with a personalized Bud Light can, which drew negative reactions from conservatives.
Critics called for protests against Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch, while Anheuser-Busch also faced criticism from those who thought it did not fully support Mulvaney.
Singer Kid Rock shot multiple cases of Bud Light with what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle in an Instagram video.
“F— Bud Light and f— Anheuser-Busch,” he said in the video.
“I’ve been offline for a few weeks, and a lot has been said about me,” Mulvaney said in a video on Instagram and TikTok a few weeks after the backlash. “It was so loud that I didn’t even feel part of the conversation. So, I decided to take the back seat and let them tucker themselves out.”
“But then I remembered that nearly 13 million people at some point enjoyed me enough to hit the follow button on these apps. And I was like wait, wait, wait, I want to talk to those people,” Mulvaney added.

In August, rapper Eminem asked entrepreneur and 2024 GOP presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using his music on the campaign trail through his music licensor, Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI).
The letter from BMI revealed that Ramaswamy’s campaign and BMI had a previous music licensing agreement for the Detroit rapper’s music and came after Ramaswamy sang along to “Lose Yourself” at the Iowa State Fair earlier in August.
“To the American people’s chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slim shady,” a Ramaswamy campaign statement said.
Taylor Swift bests Trump, Biden on net favorability

This year was the year of Taylor Swift, quite literally, as she was recently named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.”
In a recent NBC News poll, the pop sensation topped a list of celebrities when it comes to net favorability, besting political figures including President Biden, Vice President Harris, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Trump.
Forty percent of registered voters in the poll said that they have a positive view of the millennial icon.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, alongside Eric Esrailian, a physician and producer, urged the president to “stop the Armenian genocide” in a September Rolling Stone opinion piece.
“We are Armenian,” the piece read. “We are the descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors, and we do not want to be talking about the recognition or commemoration of yet another genocide in the future.”
Esrailian and Kardashian characterized Azerbaijan’s government as using “starvation as a weapon against the Armenian population” via blockading “the only lifeline between the indigenous Christian Armenians of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh) and the rest of the world.”
“Blocking human rights groups, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the hateful rhetoric accompanying the blockade are signs of genocidal intent,” the piece said.
Paramore and Rep. Maxwell Frost

In June, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) attended a concert for the pop-rock band Paramore and had a few choice words for his state’s governor, Ron DeSantis (R).
While at the concert in Washington, D.C., Frost was caught on video on stage yelling “f— Ron DeSantis” and “f— facism.”
He later retweeted the video, saying that he “said what I said.”
When Frost came on stage, the band’s lead singer, Hayley Williams, lauded the young House member, who is the first member of his generation in Congress.
“Do you see this? Do you see the future right here?” Williams said.
Jimmy Kimmel pranks ex-Rep. Santos
Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) holds a press conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, November 30, 2023.
Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel decided to have a bit of fun with embattled former House member Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) after his ouster.
Santos started selling personal videos on the platform Cameo after he was expelled from the House earlier this month. Kimmel told his show audience that he had ordered videos with prank scripts for Santos to read.
“George please congratulate my friend Gary Fortuna for winning the Clearwater Florida beef eating contest. He ate over six pounds of ground beef in under 30 minutes – which was a new record!” Kimmel wrote in one prank script. “He’s not feeling great right now, but the doctor thinks he will be released from the hospital soon. Please wish him a speedy recovery!”
Santos responded to the prompt in the Cameo video.
“I know you’re feeling a little under the weather, but I hear from a great source that the doctors said you’ll be released from the hospital soon and recover well,” Santos said in a video. “Look, have a speedy recovery, and then enjoy the festivities of the end of the year. Bye.”
Maren Morris says she’s leaving country music

Singer Maren Morris announced in September she would step out of the country genre as a result of the “the Trump years” and their effect on the style of music.
“After the Trump years, people’s biases were on full display,” Morris said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic.”
Morris also referenced “Try That in a Small Town” and its popularity with conservatives, saying, “People are streaming these songs out of spite.”
“It’s not out of true joy or love of the music. It’s to own the libs. And that’s so not what music is intended for. Music is supposed to be the voice of the oppressed — the actual oppressed. And now it’s being used as this really toxic weapon in culture wars,” Morris said.
Trump isn’t pleased with Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance

To the excitement of many, superstar and business magnate Rihanna performed at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Former President Trump, who had feuded with the pop star, wasn’t a fan of the “Rude Boy” singer’s performance.
“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Also, so much for her ‘Stylist!’” he added.
Trump seemed to reference the “Work” singer’s act of spraypainting a car with the words “F**k Trump” back in 2020. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) had pointed the incident out earlier in the week on Truth Social.
“Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!” Jackson wrote.
Paris Hilton’s advocacy work
Paris Hilton is seen in front of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, April 27, 2023.
Reality television star Paris Hilton made a visit to Capitol Hill in April to push for a bill to regulate “troubled teen” facilities.
Hilton was joined by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) at the Capitol, where they discussed the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. The bill has the aim of creating federal data collection and reporting standards for the aforementioned facilities, which Hilton said she was a victim of.
“I witnessed and experienced sexual abuse from adult staff as well as endured verbal and emotional abuse daily. I was yelled at, dehumanized, silenced and stripped of any semblance of privacy,” she said.
“When I attempted to tell my parents about the abuse on the phone, staff would stop and immediately hang up the phone and punish me. On top of this, you had no access to the outside doors, no sunlight, no fresh air. These were considered privileges. What I went through will haunt me for the rest of my life.”
Kevin Spacey and Tucker Carlson

Actor Kevin Spacey decided to make an appearance as his character Frank Underwood from the show “House of Cards” in a recent interview on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, with ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The two men discussed their ousters from Netflix and Fox News, as well as the current political environment.
“It is bizarre that they decided to publicly cut ties with me on allegations alone; allegations that have now been proven false because I don’t think there’s any question: Netflix exists because of me,” Spacey said. “I put them on the map. And they tried to put me on the ground.”
Spacey was kicked off the show in 2017 in the wake of facing multiple sexual harassment allegations, even from “House of Cards” crew members.
Judy Blume slams DeSantis

Author Judy Blume slammed the Florida governor over book bans.
“Teachers are under fire, librarians are threatened,” Blume said at Variety‘s “Power of Women” luncheon in April. “They are criminalizing teachers and librarians. It’s not just that they’re threatening their jobs, they’re threatening them.”
“They could go to jail, all because they stand up for the rights of the students they teach. All because they refuse to give in to fear,” Blume continued. “I’ve known librarians who have saved lives by handing the right book to the right child at the right time. And for that one kid, finding themselves in a book can be a lifesaver.”
The author also referred to DeSantis as “a governor who wants to control everything, starting with what kids can think, what they can know, what they can question, what they can learn, and now even what they can talk about.”

PM: 2024 is a year full of risks
THE Prime Minister has put the nation on alert that this year will be one full of risks – even as it also holds the prospects of considerable promise.
He based this on global forecasters predicting that 2024 will be a year of "volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity" given the continuing wars between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Nevertheless, Dr Rowley also said his government greets the New Year with renewed optimism.
This optimism, he said, is predicated on TT strengthening its energy base, and efforts to enhance the nation’s infrastructure, improve conditions for investment, and continue attempts to improve and make the daily lives of citizens safer.
In his New Year's Day message, he said 2023, which was the first full year of normalcy after the pandemic, was one of challenges on several fronts, "but we can say to ourselves that collectively, we have been able to get back on our feet."
Of global forecasts that the new year will be full of risks, Rowley said, "In short, they say that wherever one is placed in the world, one may not be untouched by world events. The immediate dangers for us are the ongoing wars between Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas, both with no endgame in sight, and hold the potential for wider regional conflicts."
He said citizens must understand that these arenas, whilst geographically distant from TT, they do hold serious implications for our daily lives.
He also claimed the world is shifting from a once unipolar power structure to multi-polar, with hardening rhetoric among the superpowers, predictions of a new world order, and the possibility of a return to a period of cold war. "Nonetheless, we here in the Caribbean must still hold fast to keeping our region as a Zone of Peace."
He pointed to some positives in TT.
He claimed the CSO (Central Statistical Office) had noted a return to growth of three percent in the first quarter of 2023, followed by signs of further growth in the second quarter. This was led by "good performance" in the non-energy sector, which also showed an uptick in employment, as businesses resumed full operations after the pandemic.
After a period of heightened inflation, he said, the CSO indicated that in October the rate stood at 1.3 per cent. "To our credit, food price inflation fell from roughly 10 per cent in May to 1.9 per cent in October." He said TT can anticipate that increases in the minimum wage and other government policies will further ease the cost-of-living burden on the most vulnerable.
Rowley's release said the unemployment rate recorded a decline of 3.7 per cent, in the second quarter, indicating that thousands of persons gained employment, compared to previous years.
In the energy sector, despite years of production challenges, "we have seen the fruits of years of careful negotiations realised." This success will significantly impact the lives and fortunes of every citizen of this country, he predicted.
PLANS FOR 2024
The PM said security of citizens continues to be of very serious concern to his government. He claimed that amid the crime challenge – which has seen over 570 murders in 2023 as well as countless robberies, home-invasions and assaults – the Ministry of National Security confronts them "with a broad strategy which relies on the presence, quick response, dedication, agility, and resilience of our protective forces."
He said government continues to provide training and professional development to the security services and has increased the recruitment intake as well as continue to draw on the services of retired senior personnel.
He appealed to citizens to take personal responsibility and ensure there is no nursery or safe harbours for criminals. He called on parents and guardians to guide their children’s development and behaviour.
The PM also touched on the living standards of citizens saying this too is a priority. In 2024, the Ministry of Social Development will roll out a national register to track the lives of the most vulnerable.
He highlighted initiatives from the Ministry of Health, such as the opening of the 106-bed Sangre Grande General and Secondary Care hospital; the conversion of the Augustus Long hospital at Pointe-a-Pierre into an Oncology Centre, with a palliative care ward; the completion of the 540-bed Central Block in Port of Spain, and new programmes for diabetes and hypertension and a programme to maintain this country’s gains in meeting the UN 2030 standards for pre-natal and maternal rates.
Turning to public servants, Rowley said the Ministry of Public Administration plans to roll out modules for a country-based e-Human Resource Management system to improve the staffing and performance of public servants.
The ministry will also partner with UWI to introduce a further range of training programmes; refurbish and commission the Point Fortin Administrative Complex, and turn the sod for a new Arima Administration Complex.
In the Ministry of Public Utilities, Government will be utilising the facilities of an IDB loan for improved water delivery with targets that deliver a reliable water supply to 90 percent of the population in the new year.
He said the ministry's Community Water Improvement Programme has already improved supplies to Tobago, Point Fortin, Manzanilla, Toco, Valencia, Five Rivers and Freeport. This year it will expand the water supply to Moruga, Cedros, Penal and San Fernando.
The PM promised to communicate other initiatives saying, "Government will continue to stand in the gap for you in order to ensure you get the best that is available to you in opportunity and equity."

Alex Iwobi: An Arsenal-Alumni’s Motivation in the Face of a London Derby
In a much-anticipated London derby, professional footballer Alex Iwobi is set to square off against his former team Arsenal as part of his current club, Fulham. The match, scheduled for Sunday, December 31, at Craven Cottage, promises to be both exciting and competitive, with both teams eager to claim victory.
Return to Old Hunting Grounds
Iwobi, who spent 15 years with Arsenal before a transfer to Everton in 2019 and subsequently to Fulham, expressed a deep-rooted desire to perform well against his old club. Speaking on the official Fulham website, Iwobi admitted, “Playing against Arsenal always feels special. I have a point to prove.” In the ongoing season, Iwobi has made 15 league appearances for Fulham, finding the back of the net three times.
High Stakes in the London Derby
As Fulham prepares to host Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, the stakes are high. Arsenal is looking to bounce back after a surprising home defeat to West Ham United, while Fulham aims to regain their form following three consecutive losses. With the support of playmaker Andreas Pereira, Raul Jimenez is set to lead Fulham’s attack, while the pace and directness of Iwobi are expected to bolster Arsenal’s forward line.
Other EPL News Snippets
In other English Premier League (EPL) news, Jamie Redknapp has commented on a mistake made by Manchester United’s manager Ten Hag during a defeat to Nottingham Forest, while Pochettino shared his views on a Chelsea star. Schmeichel also criticized Ten Hag, and Arsenal’s transfer interests were highlighted. Following Manchester United’s loss to Nottingham Forest, Ten Hag offered his statements.

Three, including history-sheeter, held for youth’s murder
Police said that Sobhan Kumar had an argument with his friend, Prashanth, about sharing ganja and attacked him.
CHENNAI: The police arrested three people on Sunday in connection with the murder of a 27-year-old in Tiruvottiyur a day ago. The deceased was identified as S Sobhan Kumar of Old Washermanpet, a welder.
Police said that Sobhan Kumar had an argument with his friend, Prashanth, about sharing ganja and attacked him. Prashanth shared this incident with his friend, Suresh Kumar.
On Saturday night, Suresh and his friends, Jothi Basu and Nirmal Kumar, intercepted Sobhan near West Mada Street in Tiruvottiyur. The trio picked up an argument with Sobhan and asked him why he attacked Prashanth. Then, they attacked him with a knife and fled the scene.
Passerby, who noticed Sobhan lying with blood injuries, moved him to a hospital where he was declared as brought dead. Tiruvottiyur police registered a case of murder and arrested M Jothi Basu (26), V Nirmal Kumar (22), P Suresh Kumar (23) of Sathangadu.
Police seized a knife and motorcycle from them. Jothi Basu is a history-sheeter and has 10 criminal cases against him.
All three suspects were produced before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody.

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.

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.

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

Reactions to US advisory after spate of murders – George: It's very ironic
TOBAGO Chamber president Martin George is describing the United States Embassy's warning to Americans about the potential for increased crime, especially in St Augustine, as "ironic."
On Friday, the embassy issued an alert to its citizens warning of the potential for increased crime, specifically in St Augustine and its environs. It came in the wake of an ambush near Spring Village, Valsayn, on the Churchill Roosevelt Highway on Wednesday which claimed the lives of four people, including an innocent bystander. On Saturday, two more murders were committed in the St Augustine area.
George told Newsday the embassy is rightly concerned over the safety of their citizens while in TT. However, he added, it was ironic given the US' world infamy for the prevalence of gun violence and mass shootings.
"It's quite right that they would be concerned and of course, they would issue advisories and precautions, one cannot help but wonder also at the irony of a country, which almost every day has a mass shooting somewhere across its land. If it's not at a Walmart, or Target, or in a church or some public space such as a school...one wonders the irony of that country issuing warnings about other areas being unsafe when it appears they lack the ability to protect and secure their own citizens on their own home soil from their own citizens who attack with guns," George said.
The attorney added, "It is not to say we are white-washing or that we are ignoring the reality of the crime situation in TT. We of course acknowledge that it is way out of control and that it has spiralled beyond anything that is acceptable. But we have to balance the scales and be fair when pointing fingers such as is being done by these travel advisories. Because when you point one finger, you must remember there are three others pointing back at you."
According to statistics, the murder rate in the US is roughly 6.3 per 100,000 of its population while TT's is around 39.4 (as of 2022).Also commenting on the embassy's advisory, TT Chamber of Industry and Commerce president Kiran Maharaj told Newsday the embassy's advice is one that many locals are already employing.
"It is no secret that crime situation in our country is spiralling out of control and affecting everyone. We are all taking precautions. Every citizen is at risk. It is also an issue which has no immediate solution. There are several aspects to dealing with crime and the strategies are a combination of short, medium and long term mechanisms. The chamber has been in several discussions with various stakeholders and have offered recommendations," Maharaj said.
The US Embassy, she continued, is within its right and was acting responsibly to issue an advisory to Exercise Caution (due to) Potential for Increased Crime and it stipulates the actions to take. "It is evident embassy understands the challenges we are facing and they in fact have been working with our government, civil society and private sector to lend support to our efforts. The advisory was responsibly worded and reflects the actions many of us are already employing."
President of the Greater San Fernando Area Chamber of Commerce Kiran Singh told Newsday the embassy's alert does not bode well for the psyche of citizens, especially given America's ties with TT.
"It certainly creates a very negative impact on the psyche of the entire country. We have extremely close ties with the US who are our largest trading partner. And when they make a statement everyone listens and this is certainly not the type of message we want coming out of this country, especially given our economic challenges," he said.
For the Opposition's shadow national security minister Dr Roodal Moonilal, the advisory was an indicator that TT has imploded under the current administration.
"The country is today unpoliced and unpatrolled. Minister of National Security Fitzgerald Hinds has incapacitated the police service. He continues to bump his gum and seek to pull wool over the eyes of the population," he said in a media statement.
The embassy's advisory said criminal activity often occurs in crowded public locations such as markets, shopping malls, airports, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, transportation hubs, schools, and other areas.
"Due to recent increased gang activity in St Augustine, it said, US citizens are advised to exercise extreme caution in the St. Augustine areas of Trincity Mall, Trincity, Grand Bazaar, and Valsayn areas into the new year," the advisory said.
It asked Americans to exercise vigilance or avoid areas with heightened criminal activity, review their personal security plans, be aware of their surroundings and monitor local media for updates.
The embassy's last advisory was a worldwide alert to citizens issued on October 20.
It said: "Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against US citizens and interests, the Department of State advises US citizens overseas to exercise increased caution."
Earlier this month, the England cricket team was sequestered to their Hyatt Regency Hotel by its cricket board after a 47-year-old man was gunned down in his vehicle near the hotel.

Andy Murray Eager to Challenge Djokovic and Nadal: A Glimpse into Tennis’s Triumphant Return
Scottish tennis dynamo Andy Murray has voiced his desire to once again lock rackets with tennis titans Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. This sentiment is shared by the 36-year-old athlete as he prepares for the forthcoming Brisbane International, signalling the commencement of a new tennis season. Murray’s longing for the era when he faced off against Djokovic, Nadal, and Roger Federer in the pivotal stages of grand slams is palpable.
Murray’s Decade of Dominance
From 2006 to 2016, Murray dominated the tennis circuit alongside the ‘big three’, presenting a formidable challenge at the sport’s highest tiers. However, a series of injuries led to a pause in his career and a consequent dip in his ranking. While Djokovic and Nadal continued to amass titles, Murray, now ranked 42nd, has had to claw his way back into the spotlight.
A Glimmer of Hope in Brisbane
Despite the hurdles, Murray’s resolve remains unbroken as he gears up for the Brisbane International. His career may not have regained its former glory, but his determination to compete with the likes of Djokovic and Nadal remains unwavering. In the face of speculation about Nadal’s future beyond the 2024 season, the former world number one is fueled by a profound friendship and mutual respect for his fellow competitors.
Murray’s Aspirations and the Road Ahead
Unfazed by setbacks, Murray’s career aspirations soar as he yearns for a grand return to the international stage, aiming to reclaim his position among the sport’s elite. His anticipation for top-level clashes ahead of the Australian Open signifies his readiness to challenge his rivals, igniting excitement among tennis aficionados worldwide.

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.

Gibson will guard the home goal Sunday versus the Oilers.
Gibson is set to start his third straight game, but he'll have a tough matchup against the top-loaded Oilers. He's allowed just four goals over his last two outings. Gibson has held the starting role from November on, but his play behind a porous defense is often not great for fantasy managers.

THA Chief Sec: Challenges are part of our journey
Tobago House of Assembly (THA) Chief Secretary Farley Augustine wants Tobagonians to embrace the sacrifices and challenges necessary to improve the infrastructure and overall standard of living on the island.
Augustine, in a New Year's Day message, said the THA is committed to improving existing roads, while it paves way for larger projects, such as the Friendship Connector Road in Canaan.
“Even as I stand here on this newly developed Friendship Connector Road,” he wrote, “I am reminded that challenges are indeed part of the journey.
“It is an unassailable truth that we sometimes shy away from— a fixed reality that is crucial for us to maturely embrace.”
Challenges, Augustine said, will inevitably be part of any worthwhile endeavour.
“There remains wisdom in the maxim that the easy road is not necessarily the best one. These challenges, however, ought never to be interpreted as signals to give in and to stop pushing forward.”
The THA, “purposed to press on knowing that the addition of this Friendship Connector Road, would ultimately redound to the greater good of Tobago, and Tobagonians,” he said, adding that the project specifically will pave the way for a stronger island.
He said the administration is also cognisant of the rising levels of traffic congestion in southwest Tobago and the adverse effects traffic jams can have on the wellbeing of motorists, pollution levels and productivity on the island.
“Therefore, we saw the Friendship Connector Road Project as one that was important to prioritise for delivery to Tobago.”
He said being close to completing the first phase brought a “gratifying feeling, that we will soon be able to gift this new piece of infrastructure to the people of Tobago.”
The piece of infrastructure will provide the drivers with more choice, “and will hopefully add more peace and comfort (to their) daily commutes as well.
Speaking on earlier projects, he said, “I experienced that same heartening feeling, when we delivered an improved bridge along with other civil works at Gru Gru Patch, in Providence.
“In 2022, we were equally proud to be able to deliver the Smithfield to Dutch Fort Connector Road in our capital of Scarborough.
“And the St Peter’s Bay Road in Moriah, after years of residents climbing an untenable 192 stairs. Additionally, we are looking forward to doing the work to improve our existing roadways across this little island.”
In his message, Augustine also said Tobagonians “absolutely cannot afford to cower in the face of any challenges,” drawing reference to the increased number of homicides on the islands.
Tobago recorded 14 murders as of press time on December 31.
“(As we witness) a concerning rise of criminality across the island, we must be willing to stand together as Tobagonians, regardless of our differences and collectively say: Not on our watch.”

Andy Murray: Rekindling Rivalry with Tennis Greats Djokovic and Nadal
Andy Murray, the Scottish tennis titan and former world number one, has voiced his ambition to return to the grand stage of tennis and reignite his rivalry with tennis greats Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. As the eve of the season-opening Brisbane International approaches, Murray, now ranked 42nd in the world, is on a quest to reclaim his former glory, a quest marked by determination and resilience in the face of a series of injuries that led to a hiatus from the sport and a subsequent drop in his ranking.
A Glimpse into the Past
Between 2006 and 2016, the sports world was captivated by the significant rivalry between Murray and the ‘big three,’ Djokovic, Nadal, and Roger Federer. These four men regularly faced off in the final stages of major tournaments, creating some of the most memorable and electrifying moments in tennis history.
Overcoming Obstacles
Despite the adversities he has faced, Murray remains undeterred. While Djokovic and Nadal continued their winning streaks, Murray’s journey took a different path. Injuries led to his absence from the court and his ranking took a hit. Yet, the 36-year-old Scot hasn’t allowed these setbacks to dampen his spirit. He is now working diligently, with a relentless determination to fight his way back into the sport.
The Road Ahead
Murray’s aspirations for the 2024 season are clear. Ahead of his match against Grigor Dimitrov in the Brisbane International, he shared a practice session with Nadal. His anticipation for a comeback and his desire to once again face Djokovic and Nadal, set the stage for an intriguing and exciting tennis season. Whether Murray will manage to regain the peaks of his former glory remains to be seen, but his unwavering will and determination are undoubtedly inspiring.

Bulls prevails over Thalaivas by one point
The clash kept the fans on the edge of their seats as the two Southern rivals won points off each other regularly to keep the game very closely matched.
NOIDA: Bharat’s SUPER 10 was the major difference as Bengaluru Bulls beat Tamil Thalaivas 38-37 in the Southern Derby to finish the year perfectly at the Noida Indoor Stadium on Sunday.
As was the template of the whole match, it was a close tie for the first five minutes of the match as Thalaivas’ star raider Narender grabbed most of the opportunities that he got to give his team the lead. With the score reading 10-7, the Bengaluru Bulls found itself with just three defenders on the mat. However, this presented them with the perfect opportunity to grab a SUPER TACKLE as left cover Parteek rendered Ajinkya Pawar’s raid unsuccessful.
The clash kept the fans on the edge of their seats as the two Southern rivals won points off each other regularly to keep the game very closely matched. Narender continued to perform for the Thalaivas in the first half, winning more than half the points for his side.
It was a SUPER TACKLE that saved the Bengaluru Bulls after Saurabh Nandal got the initial grab on the opponent raider. But once again, the side representing Tamil Nadu had the last laugh in the first half, after Bharat’s unsuccessful raid for the Bulls meant ALL OUT points for the Thalaivas as the score read 20-17 heading into the second 20 minutes.
A SUPER RAID minutes into the first half took the Bengaluru-based side above their rivals. Star Bulls raider Vikash Kandola got Mohit, Sahil Gulia and M Abishek at one go as the topsy-turvy nature of the game continued to dominate proceedings. A point for one team was negated by the other. Then, it was the Thalaivas who made the most of the SUPER TACKLE opportunities that came their way.
RESULTS: Gujarat Giants 51 bt Bengal Warriors 42; Tamil Thalaivas 37 lost to Bengaluru Bulls 38

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.

Woman, 86, escapes fire at Marabella home
A Marabella family heads into the New Year counting their blessings after their 86-year-old mother escaped a fire that erupted at her home on Sunday.
Newsday understands the blaze began around 12.30 pm at the house located at the corner of Hillcrest Drive and Pearl Avenue, Battoo New Lands.
The woman's daughter, who asked for the family to remain unidentified, told Newsday they are grateful she was able to escape unharmed. The daughter said she did not think the family required assistance and members will do what is necessary to see about their mother.
Another relative told Newsday the fire started in a bedroom that is scarcely used on the first floor of the house. He said the woman's caretaker discovered the fire and was able to evacuate the elderly woman and herself.
Relatives and neighbours commended officers from the Mon Repos fire station for responding within minutes and getting the fire under control. They credited this quick response for saving them from what could have easily been a worse situation.
Fire inspectors were yet to begin investigations, at the time Newsday visited, but officers said residents believe an electrical issue may have caused the blaze. The residents recalled a fluctuating voltage moments before. Assessments were still ongoing into the scale of damage and its cost.
At the scene, neighbours were all grateful the elderly woman escaped injury but said it highlights the need for a fire hydrant in the community to be repaired. The hydrant is some 300 meters away from the house. Anand Seuradge, 64, said the hydrant was decommissioned over a year ago after it began leaking. It was never repaired or replaced.
"We really need it because if it was a more serious fire, then they would have left or a tender would have had to come. We can't wait for somebody to be (killed)," he said.

Arsenal’s Premier League Title Challenge Dented by Resilient Fulham
In a shocking Premier League encounter, Arsenal succumbed to their second consecutive defeat, losing 2-1 to a determined Fulham side on Sunday. An early goal from the Gunners’ Bukayo Saka failed to hold off Fulham’s comeback, led by goals from Raúl Jiménez and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
Arsenal’s Early Dominance Fades
The match kicked off with Arsenal seizing the lead merely five minutes into the game. Saka, the vibrant winger, found the net after capitalizing on a saved shot from teammate Gabriel Martinelli. Fulham’s goalkeeper, Bernd Leno, had initially thwarted Martinelli’s attempt, but Saka was perfectly positioned to strike the rebound home. However, Fulham responded with unwavering determination, equalizing through Jiménez’s finish after a well-placed cross from Tom Cairney.
Fulham’s Persistent Pressure Pays Off
As the second half got underway, Fulham’s pressure on Arsenal continued unabated. Their relentless pursuit bore fruit when De Cordova-Reid scored amidst a tumultuous scramble in Arsenal’s penalty area, following a corner from Andreas Pereira. Arsenal’s defense, seemingly disoriented, failed to clear the ball, allowing De Cordova-Reid to poke in the decisive goal.
Implications of the Defeat
This victory not only ended Fulham’s three-match losing streak but also marked a milestone as their first win after trailing in a game in 24 league matches. Fulham’s resurgence saw them climb to 13th in the Premier League table, accumulating 24 points from 20 games. On the flip side, Arsenal, once the table leaders on Christmas Day, ended the year in a disappointing fourth place, having not won any of their last three matches. This defeat underscores Arsenal’s lack of goalscoring threat and exposes their vulnerability in the second half. Arsenal now faces a three-week break, offering them crucial time to regroup and strategize for their upcoming matches.

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.

Arsenal’s Premier League Title Hopes Dented by Fulham Defeat
In a crucial blow to their Premier League title aspirations, Arsenal suffered a 2-1 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage. This marks Arsenal’s second significant setback within a four-day span, following a previous 2-0 loss to West Ham. Despite an optimistic start with an early goal by Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s inability to widen their lead saw Fulham’s triumphant return, ending their three-game league losing streak without a goal.
Fulham’s Resurgence
Raul Jimenez, back in action after a three-game suspension, levelled the game with a goal, with Bobby Decordova-Reid’s close-range strike soon after securing Fulham’s victory. This win marks Fulham’s first league triumph over Arsenal since January 2012, ending an 11-game winless run.
Arsenal’s Struggles Continue
Despite the Gunners’ relentless attempts, including a narrow miss by Gabriel Martinelli and a critical save by Fulham’s David Raya, they could not avert defeat. Arsenal’s back-to-back losses to Fulham and West Ham have significantly impacted their journey to their first league title in two decades. This result has left Arsenal in fourth place, two points behind league leaders Liverpool and level with Manchester City, but having played one more game than both rivals.
Implications for the League
This defeat has implications beyond just Arsenal’s standing. Tottenham’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth has brought them within a point of securing a Champions League spot, thereby intensifying the race for the top four. Manager Mikel Arteta’s criticism of his team’s performance, labelling it as their ‘worst game of the season,’ encapsulates the gravity of their current predicament.

2023 saw the launch of several interesting and crazy laptops. The MobileSyrup teams gets to go hands-on with and try out various different laptops throughout the year, and, while we don’t get to try every new laptop, we definitely test out some interesting ones.
A few housekeeping things before we get into it. First, we picked from among the laptops we actually used this year, which unfortunately means no Chromebooks were included in this selection. Second, we changed up our categories slightly this year: we have a top pick for Windows and macOS, along with a favourite-looking laptop and the weird laptop we liked the most.
With that in mind, here’s our list of the best laptops from the year.
Favourite Windows laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad Z13
Lenovo’s ThinkPad Z13 impressed me this year, offering some of the best build quality I’ve seen from the company in one of the most stylish designs ever offered. It’s got leather on the lid. Well, it’s vegan leather, but it still looks great with the bronze accents.
Couple that with solid performance from its Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U chip, okay battery life, and a wonderfully compact design, and this was easily the laptop I most enjoyed using this year.
Read the full review | Price: Unfortunately, the Z13 has been de-listed from Lenovo’s website in favour of the second-gen Z13. While we have not reviewed it, it doesn’t appear to be significantly different than the first-gen Z13. It starts at $2,029.30.
Favourite MacBook: 15-inch MacBook Air
MobileSyrup’s editor-in-chief Patrick O’Rourke was a big fan of Apple’s bigger MacBook Air. The laptop is basically identical to the 13-inch MacBook Air, just bigger — and that’s great. Thanks to the thin, light design of the Air series, the 15-inch model doesn’t feel big and hefty, but it still offers ample display space.
Other pros of the 15-inch Air are that it offers excellent battery life, a stellar design, and a great typing experience. Plus, the trackpad is even bigger thanks to the extra space afforded by the large chassis. Sure, it only has the M2 chip, but O’Rourke says the M3 doesn’t bring enough gains to justify stepping up to the MacBook Pro over the Air.

Favourite-looking laptop: LG Gram Style
While I generally like LG’s Gram series of laptops, I usually find them boring. Not so with the LG Gram Style, a new entrant to the line in 2023 that is hands-down my favourite-looking laptop of the year. It’s positively stunning with an iridescent coating and the seamless trackpad/palm rest below the keyboard.
Beyond good looks, the Gram Style manages to be a pretty good laptop, packing a huge display into a thin and light profile. As much as I liked the design, it had a few issues holding it back from being my favourite laptop of the year (but hey, there’s always next year).
Read the full review | Price: Starts at $2,199.99
Favourite weird laptop: Lenovo Yoga Book 9i
This year, the Yoga Book 9i was the clear choice for our ‘weirdest’ category. It’s the first dual-screen laptop I’ve ever used, and it was quite the experience. The Yoga Book 9i takes the typical clamshell laptop design and replaces the keyboard and trackpad with a second display. Instead, you can use a wireless keyboard for typing (or turn one of the displays into a touch keyboard, but that wasn’t great).
In my experience with it, having two screens was a huge boost to my productivity when I had somewhere solid to put the laptop, like on a desk. But when I wanted to use it on, you know, my lap, the whole operation kind of fell apart. I’ll be keeping an eye on this laptop series going forward to see how Lenovo improves it. Who knows, maybe in the future a dual-screen laptop will break out of ‘weirdest’ and land in the best laptop spot.

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.”

Pickard will guard the road goal versus the Ducks on Sunday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Pickard has gone 2-2-0 with 14 goals allowed across his five appearances this season. The 31-year-old netminder will work the second half of a back-to-back after Stuart Skinner guided the Oilers to a 3-2 shootout win Saturday versus the Kings. The Ducks have scored just 16 goals over their last six games, so this is a favorable matchup for Pickard.

Arsenal’s Struggles Continue: Falls to Fourth Place After Defeat by Fulham
In the recent Premier League match between Arsenal and Fulham, what was anticipated as a potential victory for Arsenal turned into a stark reminder of the team’s deteriorating form. Arsenal, with a golden opportunity to ascend to the top of the table, began their quest with a promising lead through a goal by Bukayo Saka. However, the tables turned when Fulham’s Raul Jimenez leveled the score before halftime, and Bobby Decordova-Reid further tilted the scales in Fulham’s favor, providing them with an advantageous lead.
The Downfall of Arsenal
Arsenal’s failure to respond with an equalizer not only cost them the match but also led to a significant drop in their league standings, pushing them to fourth place. The team’s recent performance has been underwhelming, with only a single victory to their credit in their last five games. The loss to Fulham, despite an early lead, not only emphasized Arsenal’s need for a new striker but also cast a shadow over their title ambitions.
The Rising Tensions
A highlight of the match was the heated confrontation between Arsenal’s Gabriel and Fulham’s Declan Rice. This altercation served as a stark emblem of Arsenal’s mounting frustrations on the field, reflective of their poor performance and inability to capitalize on opportunities.
Implications for the Future
The upcoming match between Liverpool and Newcastle could potentially further influence Arsenal’s position in the league standings. A victory for Liverpool would place them five points ahead of Arsenal, further widening the gap. In addition, the launch of ‘It’s All Kicking Off,’ a new podcast from Mail Sport, promises to offer a fresh perspective on Premier League football, potentially shedding light on the challenges faced by teams like Arsenal.

I’m a disabled content creator who creates accessibility reviews live on my streams and works directly with gaming companies and platforms like Square Enix/Eidos, Twitch, AbleGamers and more on accessibility efforts.
I recently had the chance to test PlayStation’s new Access Controller and offered my thoughts. I suffer from a past injury related to wrestling and have rheumatoid arthritis, which can cause notable pain after long gaming sessions.
First, let’s focus on the gamepad’s unique design. The look of the Access Controller is pretty simple: it features one larger circle for the buttons and one small circle for its joystick. The two sections can slide apart, allowing you to lock it into a position that fits your hands and your current game.
The accessibility-focused gamepad also includes snappable buttons ranging in thickness, allowing you to customize the Access Controller’s inputs to your needs. There are several different joystick designs, including one that made me super happy – a fighting stick design (more on that later).
The gamepad gives you full customization power to label which button you want on each part and what size you want the joystick. This makes the Access Controller more flexible and fun to learn what works best for me and my hands.
Setting up the gamepad with the PlayStation 5 is a straightforward process. All you need to do is designate where you want each button that you’ve already labelled (it helps if you double-check the positions). Then you’re good to go! I went the wireless route, given my PS5 sits below my desk.
I love fighting games, and this is the main reason why I wanted to give the Access Controller a try. I booted up Tekken and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure because I played many fighting games when I was younger and slowly stopped due to the pain they caused in my hands due to the button inputs. I found the Access Controller helped mitigate this issue by allowing me to place it flat on a desk.
I also liked the profile feature that allowed me to switch up the controller with different games. For example, I click on the ‘Action’ profile when I want to play Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, resulting in a smooth transition between games.
I really enjoyed playing Marvel Spider-Man 2 on the Access Controller. Usually, with the normal PS5 controller, my hands start to hurt from the many inputs and combos I have to achieve in the game. With the Access Controller, my hands were completely free, allowing me to tap my inputs for a better gameplay experience.
While I’ve enjoyed my time with the Access Controller, it’s not perfect. The main switchable buttons are great, but I found the flatter buttons a bit better for what I required, and unfortunately, the gamepad only includes four of each button, whether you want them flatter or higher.
I hope that in the future, Sony offers the ability to purchase more types of buttons separately. That said, my overall experience with Access Controller was great for someone with my particular disability.
Sony’s PlayStation 5 Access Controller costs $119 in Canada.

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

Over 1,400 delegates from TN, Puducherry attend 14-day event
The sangamam, which was aimed at rediscovering the age-old links between Tamil Nadu and Kashi – two of the country’s ancient seats of learning, concluded on Saturday
CHENNAI: Musical performances at the Ghats of the Ganga in Uttar Pradesh enthralled those attending the Kashi Tamil Sangamam, with narrations celebrating the legacy of Lord Ram.
The sangamam, which was aimed at rediscovering the age-old links between Tamil Nadu and Kashi – two of the country’s ancient seats of learning, concluded on Saturday, weeks ahead of the ‘Pran Prartishtha’, or the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Over 1,400 delegates from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, besides people from Varanasi and culture enthusiasts from different parts of country, participated in the 14-day event. More than 42,000 people had registered till December 8 to attend the sangamam, of which 1,400 were selected by a committee.
The delegates also visited Ayodhya and the under-construction temple there. They were divided into groups (200 members each) named after seven sacred rivers – students’ group (Ganga), teachers’ group (Yamuna), professionals’ group (Godavari), spiritual group (Saraswati), group of farmers and artisans (Narmada), writers’ group (Sindhu) and group of traders and businessmen (Kaveri).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently unveiled a ‘new look old’ city in Ayodhya with an airport, a revamped train station and projects worth Rs 15,700 crore ahead of the consecration next month. The first phase of the temple is nearing completion, and the PM will participate in the ceremony on Jan 22.
K Venkata Ramana Ghanapati, trustee at the Kashi Vishwanath temple, stated that the excitement in Varanasi about the consecration ceremony was palpable. “Generations have waited for this. I’ll be travelling to Ayodhya during that time to participate in some rituals a few days ahead of the ceremony,” he added.

Arsenal’s Title Pursuit Stumbles with a Defeat to Fulham
In a surprising twist on the final day of 2023, Arsenal’s pursuit of the English Premier League title took a blow with a 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage in London. The loss, their second within four days after a 2-0 defeat to West Ham, raises doubts over Arsenal’s ability to capture their first league title in 20 years.
Unfolding Drama at Craven Cottage
Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal an early lead, but the Gunners failed to maintain their dominance. Fulham, eager to rebound from a three-match losing streak without netting a goal, fought back with goals from Raul Jimenez and Bobby Decordova-Reid. Jimenez, back from a three-game suspension, equalized with his fourth goal in as many matches, while Decordova-Reid capitalized on a failed Arsenal clearance to secure the winning goal.
Arsenal’s Struggle for Consistency
Despite near misses from Gabriel Martinelli and a free-kick from Andreas Pereira that struck the crossbar, Arsenal could not overcome Fulham’s second-half dominance. Arsenal’s goalkeeper, David Raya, made several crucial saves, narrowly preventing a more significant defeat in the adverse weather conditions. The defeat leaves Arsenal in fourth place in the Premier League, trailing leaders Liverpool by two points and level with Manchester City at 40 points, despite having played a game more than their rivals.
Reflections from the Bench
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta voiced disappointment with the team’s performance, particularly their failing in ball possession and defense. The regression in the collective output of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Ødegaard has raised questions about the team’s attacking strength in depth. Meanwhile, Fulham’s head coach, Marco Silva, lauded his team’s performance and resilience after their three-game losing streak in the league.

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.

Brian Flores: A Potential Successor to Bill Belichick’s Reign
As the New England Patriots stare into the face of uncertainty, Brian Flores emerges as a potential successor to Bill Belichick’s throne. Reports are buzzing, with the Patriots’ 4-11 record hinting at a playoff miss for the third time in four years. According to the Boston Globe and NFL Network, Flores, the current defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, is on the list of probable replacements for Belichick.
Lineage of the Patriots
The Patriots’ coaching roster bristles with talent, including candidates like Jerod Mayo and Josh McDaniels. Flores’ name, however, stands out due to his history with the team. Serving the Patriots from 2008 to 2018 in various assistant roles, Flores’ familiarity with the Patriots’ playbook and strategy makes him a compelling consideration.
A Controversial Dismissal
Flores’ head coaching stint with the Miami Dolphins ended with a 24-25 record over three seasons. The termination of his contract sparked controversy, leading Flores to file a lawsuit against the NFL and several teams for racial discrimination. He claimed that he wasn’t given a fair chance in the hiring process and was even urged to lose games for better draft picks. A federal judge has greenlighted part of Flores’s lawsuit, directing the case against the Dolphins to arbitration.
A Shift in Patriots’ Leadership
Reports from Boston Sports Journal and NBC Sports Boston hint at Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s intent to change after the season. Belichick’s future with the team hangs in the balance, especially after a recent loss to the Colts in Germany. The NFL world waits with bated breath, watching for signs of the next move in New England’s grand chessboard.

The introduction of this novel concept in the form of a road-legal race car is a significant leap forward in automotive engineering, effectively pushing the boundaries of what has traditionally been expected from street-legal vehicles. The Saleen S7, conceived by renowned race car driver Steve Saleen, is a remarkable embodiment of this innovation. This mid-engine American-born supercar, capable of speeds exceeding 220 mph, boasts a 7.0 liter V-8 engine with a billet steel crankshaft, and connecting rods. In its naturally aspirated form, the S7 delivers an impressive 550 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque, while the turbocharged S7TT introduced in 2005, saw a massive jump to 750 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque.
Defying Conventional Boundaries
Another significant addition to the line-up of street-legal race cars is the KTM X-Bow GT-XR, a street-legal variant of the KTM X-Bow GTX. Powered by the same Audi 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine, it delivers a commendable 501 horsepower. Its lightweight construction, thanks to a carbon fiber monocoque, and a 96-liter fuel tank, granting a range of 1000 km on a full tank, underline its commitment to blending race-track prowess with practical, everyday usability. The GT-XR was recently spotted demonstrating its ability to handle slippery winter conditions, further solidifying its status as a versatile, year-round vehicle.
Enriching the Automotive Landscape
The introduction of these road-legal race cars is not just an exciting development for car enthusiasts, but a significant step forward for the automotive industry as a whole. By seamlessly integrating the high-octane excitement of a race car with the practicality of regular road use, these vehicles are truly redefining what it means to be a ‘performance car’. As more car manufacturers explore this exciting new niche, the automotive landscape is set to become even more thrilling and diverse.

Probe irregularities in placement scheme: Periyar varsity trainees
Around 200 students, mostly from SC, ST and minority students, were admitted in the skill-based training programme after receiving their educational certificates.
COIMBATORE: A group of students enrolled in placement-linked skill training programme of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) at a centre in Periyar University in Salem sought a police probe into irregularities in the programme offered by Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD).
Around 200 students, including 60 women, mostly from scheduled caste, tribal and minority students, were admitted in the skill-based training programme after receiving their educational certificates.
The students accused the authorities of keeping the bank passbook and ATM cards of students with themselves. Periyar University Registrar (in-charge) K Thangavel, who is facing charges for starting a private entity and misappropriation of public funds, is the director of the DDU-GKY centre.
“Even before completion of the course, the authorities sent us home within two months saying the classes will be held online. Even during our stay in the residential programme, we were served poor quality food and forced to stay in congested place. After six months, the students received a call asking to enroll in another course on artificial intelligence and data science. Again, after two months, the students were asked to go home even before completion of the course,” the students said, in their petition submitted to Salem city police on Sunday.
The aggrieved students said their certificates were withheld, scholarship amounts were swindled and they were issued with fake placement orders. Therefore, they urged police to conduct an inquiry into these irregularities and book the culprits.

State to house India’s first non-leather component cluster
Zhong Bu Development Singapore Pte Ltd will be the first to set up an adhesive factory at the component cluster in Perambalur.
CHENNAI: The foundation stone for the maiden factory at the country’s first non-leather footwear component cluster that is coming up inside the footwear park at Perambalur in Tamil Nadu will be laid during the upcoming Tamil Nadu Global Investor Meet (TNGIM).
Zhong Bu Development Singapore Pte Ltd will be the first to set up an adhesive factory at the component cluster in Perambalur. It has already set up an Indian subsidiary to implement the project. The company is planning an investment of Rs 70 crore and provide employment to 200-odd people.
The footwear park itself is being developed by Phoenix Kothari Footwear, a joint venture between Kothari Industrial Corporation Ltd. (KICL) and Evervan Group of Taiwan.
The two-day TNGIM will begin in Chennai on January 7 and will be inaugurated by chief Minister, MK Stalin.
The foundation stone for the proposed facility of Zhong Bu will be laid during TNGIM, said J Rafiq Ahmed, chairman, Phoenix Kothari Footwear. “Our aim is to get the factory on stream within six months from the date on which the foundation is laid,” he said.
In this context, he pointed out that the first factory at the footwear park had gone on stream within one year from the date on which the construction was started. JR One Footwear Pvt Ltd., a joint venture between Phoenix Kothari Footwear Ltd. and Shoetown, has already started making Crocs brand of footwear at its factory in the Perambalur park. T
“The JR One factory was built in a record time of one year. This stands as a testament to the dedication and efficiency of the Phoenix Kothari team and its commitment,” Ahmed said.
Ahmed expected the Perambalur non-footwear component cluster to house 30 factories. “We are getting a number of overseas players into the component cluster,” he said.
Phoenix Kothari Footwear Ltd has already tied up with 21 companies to set up facilities in the component cluster. At the upcoming TNGIM, these would be formalised.
Zhong Bu is into the production and sale of high-quality adhesives and related products for the footwear industry. It has production plants in China, Vietnam and Indonesia, with research and development facilities and technical service capabilities. It has patented technology and has technical cooperation with multinational manufacturers in the industry.
This is, perhaps, for the first time that a non-leather component cluster is taking concrete shape in the country. Only China has a non-leather component cluster in the world. Though Brazil did make an attempt, it did not fructify.
The Perambalur component cluster, Ahmed said, was a significant national initiative in the post-COVID era and in the wake of the China Plus One strategy pursued by global manufacturers.

Chelsea FC Triumphs Over Luton Town in a Game of Contrasting Styles
In a recent game of football that brought together a Premier League giant and a lower-tier team, Chelsea FC squared off against Luton Town. The much-anticipated match was part of a domestic cup competition, intensifying the stakes as both teams aimed to advance further in the tournament.
A History of Competitive Encounters
The two teams, despite their close proximity, have had 47 competitive encounters since 1927. Chelsea has emerged victorious in 21 matches, lost 12, while the rest resulted in a draw. In the 1950s, Luton Town established themselves as a formidable opponent, reaching the FA Cup final and earning a reputation as giant slayers. In contrast, Chelsea embarked on a journey filled with trophies, thanks to their influx of talent, while Luton faced the grim reality of relegation battles.
Contrasting Football Styles
Modern encounters between the two teams have been less frequent but no less intense. Chelsea, known for their technical skill and possession-based approach, has showcased their tactical acumen and attacking power in recent Premier League wins. Luton Town, recognized for their resilient defense and direct style of play, continues to receive unwavering support from their fans despite their underdog status.
The Outcome of the Match
The final game of the year saw Chelsea emerging victorious over Luton Town with a 3-2 win. Despite a late fightback from Luton, Chelsea managed to secure a victory, ending their streak of four away defeats. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who proved himself as one of the signings of the summer, scored twice and assisted Noni Madueke. However, the almost squandered three-goal lead highlighted the frailties in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.
While Luton’s manager, Rob Edwards, expressed pride in his team’s never-give-up attitude despite the loss, Chelsea’s manager expressed satisfaction with the win, fostering optimism in the team as they usher in the New Year.

California National Guard Public Affairs
CAMP ROBERTS, Calif. – More than 500 California National Guard Soldiers and Airmen proved their mettle March 27-31 during the California Homeland Response Force’s external evaluation exercise at Camp Roberts.
Service members worked 12-hour shifts for a week straight while responding to simulated crisis response missions resulting from a series of notional large-scale chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive blasts impacting cities in Nevada and Arizona.
They were observed and graded by a team from the Army Interagency Training & Education Center, the National Guard Bureau and First Army.
The external evaluation (ExEval) is usually required every other year, but because of the deadly California wildfires in 2018 and the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the HRF’s first evaluated exercise in seven years.
“We missed two rounds of HRF ExEVALs based on real life and the global pandemic,” said U.S. Army Col. Eric Sharyer, commander of the California Army National Guard’s 49th Military Police Brigade. “That’s the longest a HRF has ever gone without an ExEVAL, and they [National Guard Bureau leadership] were concerned.”
Sharyer said the exercise evaluators were augmented by a leadership team representing the National Guard’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Response Enterprise, which encompasses all National Guard weapons of mass destruction and CBRN response efforts, including smaller-scale Civil Support Teams and midsized CBRN Enhanced Force Packages.
The enterprise also includes 10 larger-scale Homeland Response Forces nationwide – including the one Sharyer commands – with one force positioned in each FEMA district to provide a broad range of capabilities at a moment’s notice when requested by civil authorities.
Each force can deploy to conduct command and control and work alongside first responders in casualty assistance, search and extraction, decontamination and medical triage and stabilization.
Over five days, the evaluators and National Guard leadership team watched the HRF work through scenarios and challenges in the field and command post.
The HRF built on lessons learned from an internal, ungraded January exercise to prepare for the week, Sharyer said.
“We had a very aggressive glide path to get here with multiple staff exercises, and then we had a collective training event in January where I brought the evaluators out because I wanted to get a true azimuth of where we were at,” Sharyer said.
The training paid off for Spc. Roxana Laub from the brigade’s 40th Military Police Company based in Los Alamitos.
“We have been blessed and fortunate to have some of the best training in the last three years with making sure we’re fully prepared for any sort of chemical warfare, weapons of mass destruction incident,” Laub said in the field near an elaborate rubble pile where fellow service members were conducting fatality search and extraction, while others conducted medical evaluations and decontamination of role players.
The team made some adjustments for the graded exercise based on January’s experience.
They moved their plans cell into the early entry command post to improve planners’ situational awareness and data.
“We revamped our whole process on how we plan for an OPORD [operations order],” Sharyer said. “We put our plans cell with our early entry command post to build a better plan because they have more information than the rear. That proved to be the key component of our success.”
For the March iteration, evaluators observed the force for one day and provided feedback and training as needed for two days. The week culminated with a 36-hour graded external evaluation based on the team’s response to a simulated 10-kiloton nuclear detonation in Arizona.
“Our Day One here was not bad; it was pretty good. So we made some tweaks. Day Two, we made some tweaks. Day Three, we made some tweaks,” Sharyer said. “So on Day Four of the exercise, which is Day One of the ExEVAL, I was very confident going in.”
At 4 p.m. Friday, after a day and a half spent responding to simulated calamity after calamity, the command post erupted in cheers as exercise controllers called “EndEx” to officially end the simulation.
“Every one of you have put in a lot of time and a lot of hard work,” said Capt. Levi Bragg, a command post evaluator from the Army Interagency Training & Education Center. “Whether your community knows it or not, they are safer for your sacrifice. May they never need your service.”
Sharyer believes his team is the best-trained HRF in the nation.
“We stand ready to protect the citizens of California and the citizens of the United States in any CBRN event,” he said. “We’re trained well, equipped well and this evaluation is the proof of that.”

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

Toast of the Nation celebrates the idea of renewal. Every year, we feature glorious live performances from different time zones around the planet. Each act provides a glimpse into the way we rejoice in the New Year around the world.
This year, Red Baraat, the indie brass band from Brooklyn, fuses folkloric elements from India with the contemporary sounds of America, while also getting the audience on its feet at The Hamilton Live, in Washington, D.C.
After dancing up a frenzy, the sublime alto vocals of Lizz Wright calm us down with a soothing and soulful set from a small village at the Jazz in Marciac Festival in France.
Steelpan modernist Jonathan Scales and his Fourchestra create a magnetic field of groove around his Trinidadian metal drum at the Black Cat in San Francisco.
And with her piano, the Japanese supernova known as Hiromi welcomes us to a musical utopia, what she describes as a "Sonic Wonderland" at Sony Hall in New York City.
Set 1 of 4
Punjabi dhol drummer Sunny Jain is the mastermind behind one of America's most intoxicating live brass bands. He seamlessly blends jazz, funk, ska, hip-hop — even punk music — with a wide range of folkloric music from his ancestral homeland, India. The banging and jumping set takes off at The Hamilton Live, just steps away from the White House in Washington, D.C.
Set List
- "Balam Pichkari" (Pritam, Amitabh Bhattacharya, arranged/orchestrated by Sunny Jain)
- "Chaal Baby" (Sunny Jain)
- "Ishq Tera Tadpave" (Sukhbir, arranged/orchestrated by Sunny Jain)
- "Zindabad" (Sunny Jain)
- "Shruggy Ji" (Sunny Jain)
- "Holi Ke Din" (R.D. Burman, arranged/orchestrated by Sunny Jain)
- "Rang Barse" (Shiv-Hari, arranged/orchestrated by Sunny Jain)
- "Gaadi of Truth" (Sunny Jain)

Musicians

Set 2 of 4
Vocalist Lizz Wright just needs one note to completely level her audience at Jazz in Marciac, one of the world's most renowned music festivals. Wright's bluesy, alto voice is absolutely mesmerizing while guiding her band through a moody set of ballads, spirituals and pop songs.
Set List
- "Sweet Feeling" (Candi Staton, Clarence Carter, Marcus Daniel, Rick Hall)
- "Walk With Me, Lord" (Traditional)
- "Chasing Strange" (Marc Anthony Thompson)

- "The New Game" (David Batteau, Larry Klein, Lizz Wright)
Musicians
Lizz Wright, vocals; Bobby Ray Sparks II, piano, organ; Marvin Sewell, guitar; Ben Zwerin, bass; Ivan Edwards, drums.
Set 3 of 4
Steelpan master Jonathan Scales flips the format that is typically ascribed to his Trinidadian party drum. With his Fourchestra, the pannist provides new angles to hear and appreciate his enigmatic instrument. At the Black Cat supper club in San Francisco, he brings a relentlessly grooving set, which also manages to be cerebral and often introspective.
Set List: (All music written by Jonathan Scales unless otherwise noted)
- "Jam We Did"
- "This is the Last Hurrah!"
- "Fake Buddha's Inner Child"
- "Box in the Sky"
- "Mind Your 3s and 2s"

Set 4 of 4
Hiromi's pyrotechnics on the piano have been a hallmark in all of her bands over the years. Her latest quartet — Sonicwonder — is no different, as she was able to burn down the house during her series of performances at Sony Hall in New York City. Hiromi and her bandmates are "plugged-in" for this electric adventure.
Set List: (All music written by Hiromi unless otherwise noted)
- "Wanted"
- "Sonicwonderland"
- "Polaris"
- "Utopia"
- "Bonus stage"
- "Auld Lang Syne" (traditional)

Chelsea Fends Off Luton Town in Tight Domestic Cup Competition
When the floodlights gleamed over Kenilworth Road, the stage was set for a riveting encounter between Chelsea Football Club and Luton Town. With the palpable tension of a domestic cup competition hanging in the air, the match was more than a game: it was an opportunity for both teams to prove their mettle and make their mark on the footballing landscape.
Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke Shine Bright for Chelsea
The match was an electrifying display of talent and strategy, with Chelsea emerging victorious with a 3-2 scoreline. The shining stars for Chelsea were Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke, who netted twice and once, respectively. Their goals not only steered Chelsea to victory but also showcased their undeniable prowess on the field.
A Fightback from Luton Town
Despite the loss, Luton Town did not go down without a fight. The team rallied late in the game, with former Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley finding the back of the net. However, a valiant fightback wasn’t enough to secure an equalizer, and Luton Town had to walk away bearing the weight of a narrow defeat.
Implications and Impact on the Teams
This victory for Chelsea is a testament to their superiority, highlighting their ability to maintain form even against lower-tier opposition. For Luton Town, while they may not have emerged triumphant, their performance against one of the top Premier League clubs speaks volumes about their potential and resilience.
The match served as a platform for players from both teams to shine. For Chelsea, it was an opportunity to rotate their squad and give minutes to players who may not regularly start in Premier League games. For Luton Town, it offered a chance to demonstrate their abilities on a bigger stage. The result of this match will undoubtedly influence the trajectory of both teams in the competition, with Chelsea advancing to the next round and Luton Town facing the hard reality of elimination.

California National Guard Public Affairs
Feb. 1, 2023
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – U.S. Army Spc. Jarakoi Tran knelt behind the California Army National Guard's Inglewood Armory, Jan. 8, and smiled as he gave his six month old dog, Chabo, a good scratch behind the ears.
With wife Emily by his side and mother Nance not far away, Tran banked some puppy hugs in the final hours before he and hundreds of other Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 160th Infantry Regiment, headed out for a months-long deployment to the Middle East within the U.S. Central Area of Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility.
"We never want to part ways from our family, even for a little bit," said the newlywed Tran, who previously deployed to Afghanistan and is deploying now a little more than a month after he and Emily's nuptials. "We signed up to serve and the whole purpose is to train up and deploy. It's bittersweet."
Operating as Task Force Blackjack, the battalion is largely from armories in Los Angeles and Orange counties, with hundreds of additional Soldiers coming from units of the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, including one from San Juan, Puerto Rico, all deploying together under the 1-160th flag.
With Soldiers from Eureka to Brawley, Task Force Blackjack represents a wide swath of the Golden State.
The Task Force had about a hundred days to prepare, train and deploy to relieve the Army's 10th Mountain Division as an asset for CENTCOM's combatant commander. The truncated timeline – usually units have nine months to a year to prepare for deployment – was not without it's manning and logistical challenges, but the Soldiers are ready, said battalion commander, Lt. Col. Leroy Cisneros, who is taking more than 700 of Cal Guard's Soldiers overseas.
"They're ready now," Cisneros said, noting the rapid run-up his team executed to get the Soldiers and their families tactically, administratively, and emotionally ready for the road ahead.
The Soldiers trained together for three weeks at Ft. Bliss in December and came home for the holidays.
In January, Task Force Blackjack returned to Ft. Bliss for final pre-mobilization requirements on their way overseas.
The battalion's ability to rally on short notice is a testament to Soldiers' warrior spirit, said Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Giangregorio.
"It's not optimal," Giangregorio said, "but we did it because people were willing to raise their hands and step up to serve."
Spc. Nicole Smith was one of those people.
"I'm pretty excited to go," said Smith, a human resources specialist who joined the Guard two years ago after finishing college and is deploying for the first time.
Smith and Spc. Erinann Moreno carried the unit's administrative load leading up to the deployment and will continue to serve their fellow Soldiers' human resources needs while overseas.
"I'm looking forward to gaining more experience, just learning my job a little bit more," Moreno said. A single mother who joined the Guard three years ago, she is one course shy of an Associate's Degree in human resources, but is hungry to keep learning more about her field.
"I'm used to speaking to people at orientations, small groups of people," she said. During December's training at Ft. Bliss, she had to brief the entire Task Force of 700 Soldiers. "I was nervous to do it at first, but once I got out there, I don't know what came over me. I could do it."
Moreno, Smith, Cisneros, Giangregorio, Tran and the rest of the Task Force are expected to return in late summer or early fall.
Chabo, who should be twice as large by then, will be waiting with his tail wagging.

In the heart of a small town called Roanoke, Alabama, a young individual embarked on a journey that would not only shape their destiny but also inspire those around them. Christopher Bell, now a sergeant first class in the Army, was determined to choose the path of a Soldier and pave the way for a brighter future beyond his close-knit community.
Growing up, Bell dreamed of traveling the world and earning a college education, and he realized that the Army could provide both.
“I joined the Army so that, honestly, I could leave my small town in Alabama, and to experience more from the world … and start my own career,” said Bell, a maintenance manager in the 8th Theater Sustainment Command’s G4. “I didn't have a way to pay for college, and I heard that the Army also pays for college, so I took full advantage of that opportunity.”
For many, joining the military is a life-altering decision, but for Bell, it became the gateway to a better future. Faced with a burning desire for education, the Army became not just a means of service but a ticket for him to become the first person in his family to earn a degree while traveling and living in different parts of the country and world. An experience that had previously seemed out of reach.
“I joined the Army, Oct. 6. 2010. I went to basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia,” said Bell. “I came in as a 91 Bravo, light wheeled mechanic, and now I’m a 91 X-ray, which is the same thing but maintenance manager.”
While stationed in different parts of the country and world, Bell embraced the commitment of serving the nation and pursuing academic goals. While stationed in Germany, Bell was able to earn his associates degree in business administration.
“Every duty station I go to I'm taking classes working towards my bachelor's degree in business administration,” said Bell.
The experience he has gained from the Army combined with a degree in business admiration will make him competitive in the outside job market, he said.
“I think it [degree combined with military experience] will help, but not only just being in the Army overall, it's going to help with my life outside of the military,” said Bell. “And it kind of correlates with my own degree also, with the managing administrative actions and personnel.”
Bell’s enlistment and success in the Army inspired his younger brother to follow in his footsteps.
“I never asked him why he joined the military, but I think that if I hadn’t joined the military, he probably wouldn’t have even given it a chance,” said Bell. “I guess he’s seen how I’ve been in my career and how the military is taking care of me and providing for me. The financial security is foremost.”
Following in his brother’s footsteps Dontay Bell joined the Army National Guard and served time in Afghanistan.
“I would have to say yes, given the fact that he is my older brother and as far as growing up we didn’t really have anyone to follow in their footsteps and joining the military was something we didn’t see day to day, so I would say he influenced me to join,” said Active Guard and Reserve Staff Sgt. Dontay Bell, a supply sergeant with the 1166th Military Police Company, located in Oneonta, Alabama.
Dontay, currently studying computer science, said college and travel where also two of the main reasons he joined the Army. Recalling that while they were growing up they didn’t really travel and he knew joining the military he would see more places than Alabama.
From serving and promotions, to them being the first in their family to earn a degree, both brothers are very proud of each other and their accomplishments.
“Just create our own families and leave a legacy that’s going to make our family proud,” said Bell.

Rivermen Power Through Storm for Fifth Straight Victory
December 31, 2023 - SPHL (SPHL) - Peoria Rivermen News Release
PEORIA, IL - The Peoria Rivermen extended their winning streak to a season-long five games as their top line of Alec Hagaman, Alec Baer, and JM Piotrowski powered the Rivermen to a 6-4 victory over the Quad City Storm on Sunday afternoon at Carver Arena.
Peoria got off to a quick start as Alec Hagaman was able to find the back of the net after a tic-tac-toe play in the offensive zone. As he skated to the right, Hagaman's pass into the middle deflected to the late trailer Alec Baer, Baer then snapped a quick pass to JM Piotrowski at the let-side dot. Piotrowski then sent a quick pass to the front where Hagaman deflected the puck into a wide-open net to put the Rivermen up 1-0. Quad City answered after a quick snapshot beat goaltender Nick Latinovich to tie the game 1-1. Then Zach Wilkie answered back as he got the puck to the net on a two-on-two play up the ice. Though Wilkie's initial shot was saved he picked up his own rebound at the side of the net and stuffed it in short-side for his second in two games.
Again the Storm answered with a tying goal and that resulted in the second, goaltender change in two days for Peoria as Nick Latinovich was pulled in favor of Brendahn Brawley. With just over six minutes left in the first period, Baer was able to get off a hard shot from the high slot that Brkin saved with his shoulder, but the puck deflected straight up and then straight down and bounced into the net to put the Rivermen on top 3-2.
The Rivermen continued their offensive attack as Alec Hagaman was able to stuff in his second goal of the night in the first five minutes of the second period. This was followed up by Alec Baer's second of the game from a hard shot from the top of the left-wing circle while on the power play that beat Brkin's glove side to put Peoria up 5-2. Quad City was able to get one goal back from a deflected point shot, but the Rivermen held their 5-3 lead going into the third period.
Cale List's point shot found the back of the net off of a deflection in the first minute of the third period to put the Rivermen up 6-3 and though the Quad City Storm were able to get one back late, it was too little too late as the Rivermen improved to their fifth straight win with a 6-4 triumph over Quad City to close out 2023 on a five-game winning streak.
"We've started to see glimpses of the process coming together," said Rivermen Assistant Coach Eric Levine. Tonight was probably our most complete game and it's nice to see everything really round together.
The Rivermen will open 2024 on the road in Pensacola on Thursday before the start of five straight games against the Huntsville Havoc.

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

Three more people were detained Sunday in connection with a reported threat of an attack on the Cologne Cathedral over the holidays, German authorities said.
The detentions came only days after a 30-year-old Tajik man was detained in relation to an alleged plot to attack the world-famous cathedral by Islamic extremists in the western German city.
The suspects were detained in the western cities of Duisburg, Herne and Dueren in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and their apartments were also searched there. No details about their identities were released.
All of the detained suspects — including the Tajik who was arrested last week — allegedly belong to a larger network that included people across Germany and in other European countries, according to Cologne police chief Johannes Hermanns, German news agency dpa reported.

The attack was supposed to have been carried out with a car loaded with explosives, local media reported.
Cologne police said in a Sunday news conference that the cathedral's underground parking garage had been searched and that explosives detection dogs had been deployed — but nothing was found. Since the early morning, the entrance and exit of the underground garage had also been checked for suspicious activity.
North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister Herbert Reul called the latest detentions a “success, for which I would like to thank the investigators."
U.S. & World
Islamic extremists have always been active, but they are currently more active than usual and the Catholic cathedral was a prime target for them, Reul said, according to dpa. “The police always try to be a few steps ahead," he added.
Police had received information about a planned militant attack on Cologne Cathedral shortly before Christmas. The attack was to be carried out on New Year's Eve.
The city’s world-famous cathedral has been under high protection for a week and the threat led to the closure of the house of worship for tourists since Christmas Eve.
Usually, more than 100,000 tourists visit the cathedral in the last week of the year. In recent days, only worshippers were allowed to enter the building for Mass, but they had to go through thorough security checks involving sniffer dogs.
On Sunday evening, around 1,000 police officers were on duty around the cathedral as revelers began celebrating the end of 2023.
Reul, the state interior minister, encouraged people to celebrate and not stay at home despite the attack threat.
“Islamist terror is still a threat on German streets,” he said. “We have often suppressed that. And whenever there is a one-off event like this, we are all very electrified again.”
However, it would be wrong to panic, said Reul. “I say: Celebrate! Behave yourselves! Take care — and enjoy the transition into the new year.”

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

Manchester United travel to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday evening. Erik ten Hag’s side are fresh from their 3-2 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Boxing Day where they came from 2-0 down with Rasmus Hojlund his first league goal.
Alejandro Garnacho scored a brace after having another disallowed in the second half of the match. United seemed like a different team in the second half and it shows that the confidence to win can be found and United have no excuses not to perform for the remainder of the season.
Forest will be in high spirits after beating Premier League bottlers Newcastle United earlier in the week with the Newcastle supporters seeking to start rivalry with United because they are so desperate to be recognised as something they are not – a brilliant team. Bless them.

United did well against Villa on Boxing Day and have shown the belief to win from 2-0 down and have no excuses for the remainder of the season. United do have a massive injury problem which is nearing the end and in the New Year they will be much stronger in all areas of the pitch.
With the January transfer window opening soon, United could also address problem areas, such as the defence and the attack. But the creativity problems also need to be addressed as there is no point having good attacking players with no creativity in the squad – it would be counterproductive.
Against Forest, United will need to watch out as they will be on the new manager bounce and will be seeking to get three points so they don’t end up in another relegation battle this season. United sit in sixth place at the time of writing with Forest in 16th place – two points clear of the relegation zone.

California National Guard Public Affairs
Jan. 26, 2023
ANAHEIM, Calif. – California Military Department Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, civilians, and family members gathered en masse Saturday, Jan. 21, in Anaheim, to recognize their own and laud the highest performers of the department's state and federal components during its formerly-annual Service Member of the Year Banquet.
It was the first en masse gathering for the Cal Guard since the COVID-19 pandemic rocked the globe a few weeks after Cal Guard's 2020 iteration of the banquet. No banquet was planned in 2021 as the pandemic stretched into its second year, and a 2022 banquet was planned but shuttered once the virus's Omicron variant surged after the holidays.
"Everybody looks great in their uniforms," U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers, Cal Guard's acting adjutant general, told the crowd of about 800 people.
"I've got to tell you, after two years of COVID, I was pretty nervous when I put this thing on tonight. I'm not going to lie," he said with a chuckle while referring to his mess dress uniform, which was largely unneeded once the world's social scene gave way to social distancing.
Beevers then introduced one of the night's two keynote speakers, Sen. Richard Roth, a retired U.S. Air Force major general who now represents the California state senate’s 31st senate district in Southern California's Inland Empire area.
"It’s truly an honor to be here to recognize your service and the sacrifices you make for all of the rest of us, all of the time," Roth said.
"Despite challenge after challenge and crisis after crisis the past few years, including some very, very recently, your performance has been simply extraordinary," he continued. "That should not be a surprise to anyone given who you are and where you come from."
Roth touted the Guard's earliest beginnings in Concord, Massachusetts, and its involvement in all of the nation’s conflicts since then, including a special notation of the 40th Infantry Division's front-line service in Korea.
"Our nation and this state haven’t stopped relying on the Guard and each and every one of you to safeguard lives and property in our communities stateside and to ensure freedom around the world," Roth said.
"From Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo and to Iraq and Afghanistan, from Homeland Defense to counter drug, counter terrorism, cyber security, from feeding the needy and providing medical support during this most recent COVID pandemic, to conducting search and rescue operations, most recently, and battling wildfires around this state, you do just that, every single day," he said.
After Roth's remarks, Cal Guard's Command Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Adjutant General, Chief Master Sgt. Lynn Williams, introduced longtime friend and mentor, SEA Tony L. Whitehead, senior enlisted advisor to the chief of the National Guard Bureau.
Whitehead spoke about the nominees, noting their biographies in the event program and calling them all "rock stars."
"If you are in a sea of rock stars and you can emerge as a winner, you are outstanding," Whitehead said.
Whitehead, the National Guard Bureau's senior enlisted service member, then read the Soldier's Creed, suggesting it needs another stanza.
"There’s one thing that needs to be added to that," Whitehead said. "I am a proud citizen of the community I represent that makes up the great state of California."
"That is you," he told the crowd. "Wildfires, flooding, rescues, not only here but across the state, across the nation."
Citizen Soldiers and Citizen Airmen do phenomenal work across this nation," Whitehead said. "They have careers, they have families, they have community commitments, but they find a way to give their absolute best."
Whitehead emphasized the Guard's roots in local communities.
"They go off and do their absolute best because they know they're coming back. They're not worried about coming back to a cheer or hurrah," he said. "They just want to come back to home."
Following keynote presentations and dinner, each component's service members of the year winners was announced.The California Army National Guard recognized Spc. Alejandro Mendoza, a cannon crew member with Alpha Battery, 1-144th Field Artillery, 100th Troop Command, as its Soldier of the Year.
Staff Sgt. Eliodoro Carranza, who serves as military police in the 270th Military Police Company, 49th Military Police Brigade, earned distinction as the California Army National Guard's Noncommissioned Officer of the Year.
The California Air National Guard recognized four Airmen with state-level honors.
Senior Airman Armand Aranda, an aerospace medical technician in the 129th Medical Group, 129th Rescue Wing, was named Airman of the Year.
Noncommissioned Officer of the Year honors went to Tech. Sgt. Sonja Torres, who serves with the 146th Operations Support Squadron, 146th Airlift Wing.
Master Sgt. Lucy Arellano, a human resources remote designee for the 144th Force Support Squadron within the 144th Fighter Wing, was named Senior Noncommissioned Officer of the Year, and Senior Master Sgt. Patrick O'Hara, with the 129th Mission Support Group, 129th Rescue Wing, earned recognition as First Sergeant of the Year.
The California State Guard honored two of its personnel.
Staff Sgt. Shane Miguel, a desktop applications specialist with the 195th Support Group, was named Service Member of the Year while Noncommissioned Officer of the Year honors were bestowed upon Staff Sgt. Octavio Piña, who serves as a platoon sergeant with the 79th Support Detachment.
Once the final trophies were presented and medals pinned on award recipients, Williams took the stage to offer closing remarks.
"It's been three challenging years, but we finally pulled it off," he said.
"Our Soldiers and Airmen were relentless, exceptional in their well-doings, committed to selfless service, and oftentimes faced with making daunting sacrifices just to get the job done," Williams said listing a variety of Cal Guard's emergency response and federal missions.
"One may ask, 'how does a part time force do so much damn work?'" he said rhetorically. "It's called honor, commitment, courage, integrity, service before self, and excellence in all they do."
Williams highlighted the work and dedication of traditional Guardsmen who balance civilian careers with their military service.
"Thank you for all you do and for what you continue to do," he said.
California Army National Guard honorees, who were selected after winning Cal Guard's annual Best Warrior Competition, will represent California in a regional level Best Warrior Competition in the coming months while California Air National Guard honorees move on to compete against Airmen from other states and territories for National Guard Bureau's Outstanding Airmen of the Year honors.

Conor McGregor Announces UFC Return: A Middleweight Showdown with Michael Chandler
Conor McGregor, the eminent mixed martial artist, has announced a momentous return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), pitting him against Michael Chandler on June 29 during International Fight Week in Las Vegas. The announcement broke on social media, setting the stage for a middleweight showdown at 185 pounds. Chandler, a three-time Bellator champion, promptly accepted the weight class proposal, expressing keenness to encounter McGregor at his peak.
McGregor’s Comeback Amidst Setbacks
McGregor’s return to the UFC comes after a series of adversities including a leg break during his last bout against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 and subsequent sexual assault accusations, from which he was cleared of criminal charges. The former two-division champion’s announcement, however, has yet to receive official confirmation from UFC, the timing of which aligns with the traditional dates of International Fight Week.
Transition in Drug-Testing Partnerships
The comeback also coincides with the termination of the official drug-testing partnership between USADA and UFC, as Drug Free Sport International assumes the responsibility. McGregor’s absence from the USADA drug-testing pool had previously delayed the fight, yet UFC boss Dana White confirmed that McGregor would not be fighting until the summer.
Uncharted Territory for Both Fighters
Both McGregor and Chandler, who has most recently suffered a loss to Poirier at UFC 281, have never competed in the middleweight category before. Chandler has fought predominantly at 155 pounds and has expressed confidence about the upcoming bout, predicting a second-round finish. This long-anticipated fight could potentially set McGregor back on track for a title opportunity, should he secure a victory.
