Juventus Clinches Crucial Victory over AS Roma in High-Stakes Serie A Encounter
Italian football heavyweights, Juventus and AS Roma locked horns in a high-stakes Serie A encounter on December 30, 2023, in Turin, Italy. The match was not just a test of skill, but a measure of the players’ mental fortitude and resilience in a high-pressure environment.
Bringing Old Rivalries to Life
The football match was kicked off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium at 19.45 GMT. It was more than just a contest for European places. It was the revival of an old rivalry and a tactical duel between two seasoned coaches, Max Allegri and Jose Mourinho. With both teams having key players returning from injury, and some missing due to injuries or suspensions, the team line-ups held significant interest. Juventus fielded Kenan Yildiz, Dusan Vlahovic, and Timothy Weah, while Roma brought in Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala.
Capturing the Moment of Brilliance
The match saw moments of individual brilliance, with Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot scoring the decisive goal. The win moved Juventus within two points of Inter at the top of the Serie A table, a critical step in their campaign. Notably, Juventus has won 12 matches with a 1-0 score in Serie A in 2023 and has amassed an impressive tally of over 20 clean sheets. The victory was a testament to Juventus’ robust defence and their ability to capitalize on their opportunities.
The Struggle of Roma
Roma, on the other hand, struggled to create quality chances, recording a total xG of 0.36, with their keeper, Wojciech Szczesny, only making two saves. While the shot chart might suggest that Juventus and Roma had a similar number of shots, the quality of chances significantly favored Juventus. The result tipped the scales in the league standings, affecting both teams’ positions.
The encounter between these two Italian football giants was a thrilling display of strategic play, intense competition, and a testament to the historical rivalry between the two clubs. It was a spectacle of football that left fans and football enthusiasts eagerly anticipating their next encounter.

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

Juventus Edges Out AS Roma in a Thrilling Serie A Encounter
In a gripping Serie A encounter, Juventus emerged victorious over AS Roma, snatching a crucial win that significantly influences both teams’ aspirations. This intense competition was held at the Allianz Stadium, a match that saw each team bringing their tactical prowess to the forefront, aiming to tip the balance in their favor.
Key Moments Define the Game
Adrien Rabiot became the hero of the day, as his decisive strike early in the second half marked the only goal of the match, providing Juventus with the 1-0 win. This victory was a fundamental one for Juventus, allowing them to close the gap on Inter Milan who had dropped points in their recent match against Genoa. Meanwhile, AS Roma, despite their valiant efforts, struggled in creating clear scoring opportunities.
Fan Violence Taints the Experience
In an unfortunate turn of events, the match was marred by crowd violence with a Juventus fan suffering a painful injury after being hit by a chair thrown from the section occupied by the travelling Roma supporters. Tension in the stands was palpable, with beer cans, lighters, and racist chanting aimed at Dusan Vlahovic. A woman was hit by a torn seat from the guest sector, resulting in a head injury that required immediate medical attention.
Ramifications on the Serie A Standings
With this victory, Juventus now stands at 43 points, trailing behind Inter by a slim two-point margin. Roma, despite the loss, maintains their position at seventh with 28 points. Both teams now look forward to their respective matches in the Italian Cup, with Juventus facing Salernitana and Roma taking on Cremonese.
Despite the controversies surrounding the match, there’s no denying that this encounter between Juventus and AS Roma was a testament to the high level of skill, determination, and tactical brilliance that Serie A is known for. The result of this game has immense implications for the standings, with both teams aiming to secure a better position within the league or qualify for European competitions.

Tehran, June 21 Iranian Foreign Minister met with the Qatari emir in the Qatari capital of Doha on bilateral ties and cooperation, media reported, citing the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Nasser Kanaani made the remarks while speaking to reporters in Doha, commenting on the main issues discussed in the meeting between Iran's Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani earlier on Tuesday.
Amir-Abdollahian described political relations between Tehran and Doha as "excellent" and called for expanding bilateral trade ties in proportion to their "close and friendly" relations, said the report.
He expected the imminent holding of the Iran-Qatar Joint Economic Commission meeting to provide an "appropriate" opportunity for trade expansion, Xinhua news agency reported.
The top Iranian diplomat and Qatari emir also discussed transportation cooperation, particularly in the maritime sector.
Amir-Abdollahian also praised Qatar's efforts over the past years in resolving regional problems, calling on the two sides to enhance cooperation to ensure regional peace, stability and security, according to the report.
The Qatari emir, for his part, said Tehran has a "special status" in Doha's foreign policy, and his country "takes pride in its strong and sincere ties" with Iran, the report added.
He noted that it has taken decades of efforts to build such relations with Iran and called for working toward improving bilateral trade cooperation to an "appropriate level".
Heading a diplomatic delegation, the Iranian Foreign Minister arrived in Doha on Tuesday morning, before leaving the Qatari capital for Oman later in the day.

NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough dead at 84
NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough has died, officials said Sunday. He was 84.
NASCAR chairman Jim France remembered the Hall of Famer in a statement.
"Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest competitors NASCAR has ever seen," France said, via FOX Sports. "His combination of talent, grit and determination separated Cale from his peers, both on the track and in the record book.
"He was respected and admired by competitors and fans alike and was as comfortable behind the wheel of a tractor as he was behind the wheel of a stock car. On behalf of the France family and NASCAR, I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cale Yarborough."

ICONIC NASCAR ANNOUNCER KEN SQUIER DEAD AT 88
NASCAR put out a post on X.
"The NASCAR family mourns the loss of NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Cale Yarborough, who passed away at the age of 84," the organization wrote.
Reports of Yarborough’s declining health first surfaced in April, when John Dodson, the vice president of business alliances and NASCAR at Universal Technical Institute, offered his thoughts and prayers for the Yarborough family. Details around Yarborough’s apparent ailment were scarce.
Yarborough put together 83 wins and 319 top 10 finishes during his NASCAR career. He is one of two drivers in NASCAR history to win three consecutive championships. He won the Daytona 500 four times and he is sixth on the all-time list of NASCAR Cup Series victories.
He set the modern record for most poles in a season with 14. He finished his career with 69 poles overall.
The South Carolina native was named one of NASCAR’s 50 greatest drivers in 1999. He was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2012. He drove on the circuit from 1957 to 1988.

Two-time Oscar-nominated actor Tom Wilkinson, who starred in “The Full Monty”, a film about a group of unemployed steel workers who launch new careers as strippers, died on Saturday aged 75.
The British actor’s death was confirmed in a statement released by his agent on behalf of his family.
“It is with great sadness that the family of Tom Wilkinson announce that he died suddenly at home on December 30. His wife and family were with him.”
Among his numerous accolades was an Academy Award nomination for “In the Bedroom” in 2001, and another for a supporting role in “Michael Clayton” in 2007.

He most recently reunited with his “Full Monty” co-stars Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy in a Disney+ series of the same name.
The original 1997 smash hit about an unlikely group of men stripping won an Oscar for best original musical or comedy score and was nominated in three others categories, including best picture and best director.
Wilkinson played Gerald Cooper, an ex-foreman who was recruited to help the unemployed men dance.
The actor also took home a Best Supporting Actor Bafta for the role.

Carlyle paid tribute to his co-star, calling him a “real titan of an actor, one of the greats of not only his, but of any generation”.
Wilkinson, who was born in Leeds to a family of farmers, studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and racked up more than 130 film and TV credits, including “Batman Begins”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Shakespeare in Love”.
While working on the British mini-series “First Among Equals” in 1986, he met actress Diana Hardcastle, who he married in 1988. The couple had two daughters.
American actor George Clooney, who played alongside Wilkinson in “Michael Clayton”, told Variety: “Tom made every project better. Made every actor better. He was the epitome of elegance and he will be dearly missed by all of us.”

“Peaky Blinders” actor Aneurin Barnard, who starred opposite Wilkinson in the 2018 black comedy “Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back)”, said he was sad to hear of his co-star’s passing.
“One of our wonderful legends that we say goodbye to. Bye for now Tom x,” he wrote on social media.
Wilkinson won a 2009 Golden Globe and 2008 Emmy for his role as American political figure Benjamin Franklin in the HBO series “John Adams”, playing opposite Paul Giamatti.
A noted character actor, he also netted roles in a BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel “Martin Chuzzlewit”; the 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility”; the 2014 Wes Anderson comedy drama “The Grand Budapest Hotel”; and 2011 ensemble comedy “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”.
In 2005, Wilkinson was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to drama.

Activists Seek to Remove Trump's Star from Hollywood Walk of Fame
In the past few years, we have seen leftists tear down monuments, rename buildings, and twist historical facts, all in an attempt to erase the historical record and replace it with a narrative that better fits their agenda.
Oftentimes, this ire is directed at America’s forefathers and past presidents for failing to live up to 21st century sensibilities.
But a more contemporary president may be joining the ranks of presidents whose names have been erased from buildings and monuments by radical activists.
Hollywood Hills resident Andrew Rudick has become a leading voice in the efforts to remove former President Donald Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Over the past three years, Rudick has submitted public records requests, collected legal documents, and spoken at City Council meetings in an attempt to make his case, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Rudick says Trump’s star, awarded in 2007 for his work on “The Apprentice,” conveys the city’s endorsement of the former president who “attempted a coup against the United States” on January 6, 2021.
Since 2016, Trump’s star has been repeatedly vandalized and destroyed, including with a pickaxe, requiring over $20,000 in repairs. Each time, it was replaced or restored, according to Axios.
It’s not really clear who has the authority to remove stars. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the Walk of Fame ceremonies and stars. However, the stars are embedded in city sidewalks owned by the Los Angeles City Council. So far, neither group has acted on efforts to remove Trump’s star.
Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been repeatedly vandalized and scorned. Now there are calls to remove it altogether. But no one has ever removed a star from the walk and no one is quite sure how to do so. @cpetrowcohen https://t.co/biyYUobBTm
— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) December 27, 2023
That’s such BS, let’s go through the list of people who have stars and start going through their tweets and lives and let’s start culling Hollywood, it’s time. Y’all hate him and it’s pathetic, celebrities are some of the most disgusting souled human beings.
— Kelli_with_an_i (@KelliDPowers) December 29, 2023
Councilmember Bob Blumenfield told the LA Times he would support taking out Trump’s star. Fellow Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez labeled Trump a “racist, fascist threat,” but said the council is still exploring the complex legal and procedural questions around removal.
If Trump’s star is removed, it would be a first for the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Previously, the Chamber of Commerce rejected attempts to remove stars belonging to other controversial figures like Bill Cosby and Kevin Spacey. The Chamber says its longstanding policy is not to remove stars and that the cost of repairs to Trump’s star has not been “prohibitive.”
While the removal of Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame is far less damaging to Trump than his removal from the ballots in some states, it demonstrates the intense hatred the left feels even to have to walk past a star with his name on it.
It’s frankly beyond immature and childish that leftists like Rudick are letting sidewalk scribblings to trigger them like this.
Trump’s stint on “The Apprentice” is just a blip in the larger scheme of his impact, but the desire of the cancel culture left to obliterate every record of him is just another attempt in their Orwellian quest to rewrite history and control the narrative.

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."

Authorities are investigating after a man illegally spearfished and killed a blue groper in Sydney’s south at the weekend, with the incident sparking outrage among beachgoers.
The blue groper, the official state fish of NSW since 1998 and endemic to Australia, is protected by law from spearfishing.
A Department of Primary Industries spokesperson and NSW Police said they were investigating after a photograph and information were provided of the incident that occurred at Oak Park Beach, Cronulla, on Saturday.
Locals say the big fish was known as Gus and was estimated to have been about 40 years old. They added it was friendly with divers and many shared photos with the fish.
“I’m so angry about the killing of Gus, he brought so much happiness and a wonderful experience,” one local wrote on a Facebook community page.
In NSW, spearfishing of blue, brown and red groper is prohibited, although line fishing of gropers is permitted. For all species generally, up to two fish can be taken by line and must be a minimum of 30 centimetres.
The agency spokesperson said it was important for anyone fishing to understand the regulations. Penalties range from a $500 and $22,000 fine or up to six months’ imprisonment.
Blue gropers are particularly susceptible to spearfishing and in the past have been heavily harvested. In 1969, the species was given total protection status in NSW, but by 1974 commercial fishing of them was allowed.
Just a year later, concern over the large catches by commercial fishers led to a ban on bottom-set gill nets, and sales of the fish have been banned since 1980.
Earlier this year, a man was photographed holding up a large blue groper he speared at Hungry Point.
Since then, DPI installed spearfishing signage near the Oak Park rock pool and the Salmon Haul Reserve, Cronulla, to increase awareness of the Port Hacking spearfishing closures.

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.

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

If Ramayana showcases Rama the ideal man, it also highlights how one should avoid the pitfall of wrong conduct. Lacking social equity is not a human characteristic, but a demonic one, to be avoided at all cost. The human body is a shell enclosing the atma and all human endeavour should be towards remaining a pure soul, journeying only towards God, said Dr. Sudha Seshayyan in a discourse on Kamba Ramayanam.
Tiruvalluvar says, Ulagaththotu otta ozhukal palakatrum kallar arivilaa thaar. (Those who do not know how to conduct themselves in the company of the best, lack knowledge even if they are educated). The capacity to adapt is a clear sign of intelligence and failure to do so shows the futility of it all. Dundubhi, brother of Mayavi and Mandodari, was born with the strength of a thousand elephants, with a thunderous voice. Bestowed with brute strength, he spent his time seeking fights with one and all. He decided to challenge Vishnu to a battle. Wisely, He directed Him to Siva. Upon learning that the egoistic Dundubhi wanted an endless fight, Siva redirected him to Indra, who pointed him towards Vali. A happy Dundubhi took the battle to Vali’s abode. Incensed by the unprovoked challenge, Vali thrashed him brutally. Neither devas nor asuras could intervene. Vali lifted him, spun him like a fan and flung him and the lifeless body fell on Earth miles away. In describing his end, Valmiki in his Ramayana says that Vali lifted Dundubhi’s lifeless body like a dhola. Dundubhi had no cause to wrestle with Vali: it was his ego causing his fall.

Former Calgary councillor Dale Hodges passes away after lengthy illness at age of 82
Long-time former Calgary councillor Dale Hodges passed away Sunday. He was 82.
Hodges’ family issued a statement saying that he died peacefully at Agape Hospice following a lengthy illness.
First elected in Ward 1 in 1983, Hodges served 10 terms on council before retiring in 2013 due to health concerns.
During that time, he saw Calgary host the 1988 Winter Olympics, the construction of the northwest LRT and the expansion of numerous parks and athletic facilities.
He found himself back in council chambers in 2017, when the city announced that Bowmont Park in northwest Calgary was being renamed Dale Hodges Park.
That day, Hodges received a standing ovation from council.
“It’s a surprise,” he said, afterward. “I didn’t see it coming.”
Hodges played an important role in reclaiming land that used to be a gravel pit and transforming it into park space.
“It was a great honour,” he said, of his time on council. “It was a challenge [and] it certainly kept me occupied for 30 years.”
Hodges was popular among Calgary councillors and the former mayor.
“A masterful parliamentarian around this table, who was also incredibly devoted to community and community space,” said Mayor Nenshi.
However, the popular Calgary councillor did have his detractors.
He was targeted by the Hell’s Angels who attempted to blow up his home in Bowness.
That was because Hodges openly objected to the group opening a clubhouse in his ward.
Hodges is survived by his wife of 52 years, Yvonne, family and friends. A memorial service will be announced in the coming days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Dale Hodges Graduate Scholarship in Political Science at https://engage.ucalgary.ca/Dale-Hodges-Graduate-Scholarship.

Knicks vs Timberwolves: A Litmus Test for New York’s Revamped Roster
In a display of grit and determination, the New York Knicks went toe-to-toe with the renowned Minnesota Timberwolves in a match that was seen as a litmus test for the newly restructured Knicks. As the Timberwolves hold a strong reputation within the NBA, the game posed a formidable challenge for the Knicks, who were keen to establish their mettle in the league.
Knicks: A New Look, A New Challenge
The Knicks entered the game with a renewed sense of purpose. Following significant changes to the roster, including the trade of RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a 2024 second-round pick to Toronto for OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn, the Knicks were eager to demonstrate that their new lineup could hold its own against top-tier opponents.
The Knicks were also looking to recover from a three-game losing streak, adding an extra layer of urgency to their play. Key performers such as Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, who scored a career-high 38 points in their last game, were expected to play pivotal roles in the Knicks’ performance.
Timberwolves: A Formidable Foe
The Timberwolves, boasting a 10-6 record in road games and an average of 113.3 points per game, came into the match as formidable adversaries. The last time these teams met, the Timberwolves emerged victorious with a score of 117-100. Key player Anthony Edwards, who scored 31 points in their previous game against the Lakers, was anticipated to be a major threat to the Knicks.
High Stakes: More Than Just a Game
For the Knicks, this game was more than just another match in the season. It was a chance to demonstrate the effectiveness of their new lineup and tactics, to dispel doubts, and to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, were keen to maintain their winning momentum and further solidify their standing in the league.
In conclusion, the showdown between the New York Knicks and the Minnesota Timberwolves was an emblem of the relentless spirit of competitive sports, where every game is an opportunity to prove, improve and evolve.

New Year's Eve: Major cities ring in 2024 as war shadows festivities elsewhere
Sydney and Auckland were among the world's first major cities to ring in 2024, with revelers cheering spectacular fireworks displays that lit up the skies over Sydney Harbor and New Zealand’s tallest structure, Sky Tower.
As the clock struck midnight in Australia, tons of explosives erupted in a 12-minute display that focused on the Sydney Harbor Bridge. More than 1 million people — a number equivalent to one in five of the city's residents — watched from the shore and from boats in the harbor.
"It’s total madness," said German tourist Janna Thomas, who had waited in line since 7:30 a.m. to secure a prime waterfront location in the Sydney Botanic Garden. "It’s not so easy to find a good place to sit, but the view is incredible."
In Auckland, the light rain that fell all day had cleared as forecast by midnight over the city of 1.7 million people before the countdown began on an illuminated digital display near the top of the 328-meter (1,076-foot) communications and observation tower.
The ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and heightened tensions in parts of the world, are affecting this year's New Year's Eve celebrations in a myriad of ways. Many cities were deploying extra security, and some places canceled New Year's Eve events altogether.
New Year’s NOW: Watch live coverage from around the world to ring in 2024
More police than ever were deployed throughout Sydney. The waterfront has been the scene of heated pro-Palestinian protests after the sails of the Sydney Opera House were illuminated in the colors of the Israeli flag in response to the Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas that triggered the war.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering. During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square, he offered prayers for "the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others."
"At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed conflict, how many dead and how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty," the pontiff said. "Whoever has interest in these conflicts, listen to the voice of conscience."
In Japan, temple bells rang out across the nation as people gathered at shrines and temples to welcome in the new year. At the Tsukiji Temple in Tokyo, visitors were given free hot milk and corn soup as they stood in line to strike a big bell, and a pipe-organ concert was held before a majestic altar.
In New York City, officials and party organizers said they were prepared to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of revelers expected to flood Times Square in the heart of midtown Manhattan.
Mayor Eric Adams said there were "no specific threats" to the annual New Year’s Eve bash, which was set to feature live performances from Flo Rida, Megan Thee Stallion and LL Cool J, as well as televised appearances from Cardi B and others. Organizers said in-person attendance was expected to return to pre-COVID levels, even as foot traffic around Times Square remains down slightly since the pandemic.
Amid near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, New York City police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a "buffer zone" that would allow them to head off potential demonstrations.
Officials also planned to monitor any protests with drones, the mayor said.
"We will be out here with our canines, on horseback, our helicopters, our boats," Adams said. "But as we saw last year, after having no specific threats, we get a threat."
During last year’s New Year’s Eve party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square.
Security also will also be heightened across European cities on Sunday.
In France, 90,000 law enforcement officers were set to be deployed, domestic intelligence chief Céline Berthon said Friday.
Of those, 6,000 will be in Paris, where French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said over 1.5 million people are expected to attend celebrations on the Champs-Elysees.
Darmanin cited a "very high terrorist threat" partly because of the Israel-Hamas war. Police for the first time will be able to use drones as part of security work, he said, and tens of thousands of firefighters and 5,000 soldiers would also be deployed.
New Year’s Eve celebrations in the French capital will center on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, including DJ sets, fireworks and video projections on the Arc de Triomphe, highlighting "changes in the city and faces of the Games," according to the press service of the City of Paris. Other planned events include "the largest Mexican wave ever performed" and a "giant karaoke."
The security challenge ahead of the Olympics was highlighted when a tourist was killed in a knife attack near the Eiffel Tower on Dec. 2. Large-scale attacks — such as that at the Bataclan in 2015, when Islamic extremists invaded the music hall and shot up cafe terraces, killing 130 people — also loom large.
In Berlin, some 4,500 police officers are expected to keep order and avoid riots like a year ago. Police in the German capital issued a ban on the traditional use of fire crackers for several streets across the city. They also banned a pro-Palestinian protest in the Neukoelln neighborhood of the city, which has seen several pro-Palestinian riots since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
In Russia, the country's military actions in Ukraine have overshadowed end-of-year celebrations, with the usual fireworks and concert on Moscow’s Red Square canceled, as last year.
After shelling in the center of the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across Russia also canceled their usual firework displays, including in Vladivostok. Millions throughout Russia are expected to tune into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s address.
In Muslim-majority Pakistan, the government has banned all New Year’s Eve celebrations as an act of solidarity with the Palestinians.
In an overnight televised message, caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar urged Pakistanis to "show solidarity with the oppressed people of Gaza" by beginning the new year with simplicity.
Kakar said Muslims across the world were saddened over Israel’s attacks on Gaza that resulted in the killings of thousands of innocent people.

Teeth marks, a stolen satchel and the High Country’s Button Man: A camper’s midnight fright
Wild dogs or a wild man? That is the question sweeping Victoria’s high plains after a mysterious attack on a camper that sparked a remote rescue near Jamieson.
First, what we know.
On December 10, an experienced female camper went to bed in her tent around 8pm. She woke two hours later to feel something tugging outside her tent and then again around midnight.
At 1am she realised her tent was slashed or torn near the ground, and her satchel, containing essential maps, her mobile phone and batteries gone.
The 40-year-old bushwalker was deep along the Australian Alpine Track on Mount Magdala on the Howitt Plains.
It’s almost dead centre between Mount Buller and the Wonnangatta Valley, where campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay were allegedly killed in March 2020.
Alone and far from help, if the female bushwalker panicked, she could have been dead. Being bloody-minded and continuing her journey could have resulted in the same fate. Instead, she weighed up the situation and used her Garmin emergency satellite device to send an alert that included her location.
Leading Senior Constable George Crawford from Jamieson drove 3½ hours while the camper walked two hours to an agreed pickup point.
“It was an extremely scary situation for her,” he told this masthead. “Without maps and a phone, she made the right decision not to push on.”
Crawford said it also showed the importance of carrying emergency back-up equipment such as a satellite phone, noting the satchel was later recovered about 40 metres away with teeth mark indentations.
“There are packs of wild dogs in the area, and it is a timely reminder to place items in packs inside tents at night,” Crawford said.
Another group of campers reported seeing a dog snout sticking through their tent fly at night and Parks Victoria have at least four reports of wild dogs stealing from campsites.
But the experienced camper told police she did not believe wild animals had stolen the satchel.
In a social media post, the woman wrote: “I have left the Alps track for now. Around 1am the night before I left I had a flap cut in my tent mesh and a ziplock bag with valuables and electronics taken.
“I woke to the sound of the bag being pulled out of the flap in my tent. I went out and checked the area around but found nothing.”
The image of the tent she posted online seems to show a straight cut in the tent material.
One local wondered why a dog would steal a satchel that didn’t contain food and raised the name of a local legend dubbed the “Button Man” who is always mentioned when there are mysterious goings-on in Victoria’s High Country.
An expert bushman who lives off the land, he is a hunter, scrounger and described by some as “bloody scary”.
For reasons only known to himself, he builds rock pyramids in random spots and places piles of pebbles on roads, so he knows if a car has passed.
There are many stories of experienced campers and hunters surprised when the Button Man has appeared after apparently silently following them.
One tough camper decided to pack up in drizzling rain in the middle of the night when he found the Button Man camped next to him in the remote wilderness.
Another found his hidden stash of firewood gone, concluding only someone silently keeping watch would have known the location.
When Button Man once wandered into a camp occupied by three military types, he asked what they did for a living. When one said, “We hunt people” it’s claimed the Button Man responded, “So do I” . No doubt referring to his habit of creeping up on hunters.
The mystery of the mountains includes the disappearance of several people in the area, ranging from experienced bush walkers to novices.
In each case mobile phones or satellite devices were not activated and the bodies were never found.
In 2019, Niels Becker, 39, an experienced bushwalker, went missing on a five-day hike. He left the Upper Jamieson Hut on October 24 and two days later sent a message to his family from Vallejo Gantner Hut that he was heading to his car at Mount Stirling.
The last confirmed sighting was by the Button Man, who told police he saw the well-equipped hiker. The track took him past the Button Man’s camp.
There is nothing to link the Button Man to any of these mysteries, but one thing is certain. His name will be whispered around high country campsites for many years. And he may even be listening. From the dark, of course.

Activists Seek to Remove Trump's Star from Hollywood Walk of Fame
In the past few years, we have seen leftists tear down monuments, rename buildings, and twist historical facts, all in an attempt to erase the historical record and replace it with a narrative that better fits their agenda.
Oftentimes, this ire is directed at America’s forefathers and past presidents for failing to live up to 21st century sensibilities.
But a more contemporary president may be joining the ranks of presidents whose names have been erased from buildings and monuments by radical activists.
Hollywood Hills resident Andrew Rudick has become a leading voice in the efforts to remove former President Donald Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Over the past three years, Rudick has submitted public records requests, collected legal documents, and spoken at City Council meetings in an attempt to make his case, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Rudick says Trump’s star, awarded in 2007 for his work on “The Apprentice,” conveys the city’s endorsement of the former president who “attempted a coup against the United States” on January 6, 2021.
Since 2016, Trump’s star has been repeatedly vandalized and destroyed, including with a pickaxe, requiring over $20,000 in repairs. Each time, it was replaced or restored, according to Axios.
It’s not really clear who has the authority to remove stars. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the Walk of Fame ceremonies and stars. However, the stars are embedded in city sidewalks owned by the Los Angeles City Council. So far, neither group has acted on efforts to remove Trump’s star.
Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been repeatedly vandalized and scorned. Now there are calls to remove it altogether. But no one has ever removed a star from the walk and no one is quite sure how to do so. @cpetrowcohen https://t.co/biyYUobBTm
— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) December 27, 2023
That’s such BS, let’s go through the list of people who have stars and start going through their tweets and lives and let’s start culling Hollywood, it’s time. Y’all hate him and it’s pathetic, celebrities are some of the most disgusting souled human beings.
— Kelli_with_an_i (@KelliDPowers) December 29, 2023
Councilmember Bob Blumenfield told the LA Times he would support taking out Trump’s star. Fellow Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez labeled Trump a “racist, fascist threat,” but said the council is still exploring the complex legal and procedural questions around removal.
If Trump’s star is removed, it would be a first for the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Previously, the Chamber of Commerce rejected attempts to remove stars belonging to other controversial figures like Bill Cosby and Kevin Spacey. The Chamber says its longstanding policy is not to remove stars and that the cost of repairs to Trump’s star has not been “prohibitive.”
While the removal of Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame is far less damaging to Trump than his removal from the ballots in some states, it demonstrates the intense hatred the left feels even to have to walk past a star with his name on it.
It’s frankly beyond immature and childish that leftists like Rudick are letting sidewalk scribblings to trigger them like this.
Trump’s stint on “The Apprentice” is just a blip in the larger scheme of his impact, but the desire of the cancel culture left to obliterate every record of him is just another attempt in their Orwellian quest to rewrite history and control the narrative.

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

Maryland Weather: Few showers tonight into New Year's Day
BALTIMORE -- Scattered sprinkles & light showers are possible into New Year's Day. They shouldn't cause any major disruptions.
Tonight
Expect a mostly cloudy sky tonight. We'll see a few sprinkles & light showers pivoting through the area, especially along the Maryland/Pennsylvania border. A handful of these sprinkles & light showers may make their way into Baltimore before midnight. Otherwise expect a mainly dry evening and chilly with temperatures in the middle 40s around midnight.
New Year's Day
The first day of 2024 is looking unsettled with the chance of sprinkles & showers throughout the day. The greatest chance of sprinkles & showers will be during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs Monday afternoon will be in the upper 40s.
Tuesday
Sunshine returns along with a blustery chill to the air. Highs will reach the middle to upper 40s, but windchills will stay in the 30s.
Rest of Next Week:
An area of high pressure keeps us sunny and quiet through midweek. A passing disturbance could bring us a mix of rain and wet snow showers late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The best chance for these rain & snow showers will be across central and northern Maryland. Ground temperatures will be too warm, so any wet snow would melt upon contact. No major travel problems are expected.
Next Weekend:
There is potential for a significant winter storm Saturday into Sunday. This may bring potentially heavy and accumulating snow to part of our area. Right now the greatest chance appears to be north & west of Baltimore, however, accumulating snow may even occur as far south as Baltimore. Right now, it's too early to know exact details of any potential snow accumulation. We'll get a better idea later this week when the storm's exact track and intensity become more clear. In addition to potential snow and a wintry mix, heavy windswept rain will be possible at the coast. Please check back for updates throughout the week as we get a better handle on this potential storm.

United Football League born out of USFL-XFL merger, 1st matchup revealed
Details of the USFL and XFL merger were announced Sunday on “FOX NFL Sunday” ahead of the first swath of afternoon NFL games.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia, two of the top executives for the XFL, said the new spring football league will be called the United Football League.
“After an incredible two seasons that the USFL has had and an incredible XFL season last year, the USFL and XFL are merging to create the United Football League, the UFL,” Garcia said.

The inaugural UFL season begins on March 30 between the USFL champion Birmingham Stallions and the XFL champions Arlington Renegades.
“We wanted to join forces for a few reasons,” Johnson said. “I think, number one, to grow the game of football and it’s a game that we all love. And create opportunities for players as we all know first hand how important that is and also, deliver for the fans.
“Think about it, this is 30 years in spring football of starting and stopping and starting and stopping. This merger between USFL and XFL, it feels like we got a shot to establish that spring football is here to stay.”
The Rock said fans should expect a hard-nosed, intense and passionate football from the players in the league. Garcia added that both leagues shared a common vision – “unleashing the dreams that football makes possible.”
The league announced that former XFL CEO and president Russ Brandon will serve as UFL president and Daryl Johnston, the former USFL president of football operations, will lead football operations.
“FOX is football, and the success of the USFL has proven that there’s a bright future for spring football,” FOX Sports CEO and executive producer Eric Shanks said in a statement. “The opportunity to bring together our two leagues – each with a commitment to advancing broadcast practices, rule innovations and the community – only furthers the potential of the United Football League and solidifies its spot on the sports calendar.”
USFL CHAMPIONSHIP 2023: BIRMINGHAM STALLIONS EARN SECOND CONSECUTIVE TITLE LED BY LEAGUE MVP
The USFL launched in 2022 and featured eight teams – Michigan Panthers, New Jersey Generals, Philadelphia Stars, Pittsburgh Maulers, Birmingham Stallions, Houston Gamblers, Tampa Bay Bandits and New Orleans Breakers. In 2023, the Bandits became the Memphis Showboats.
The league started in a bubble atmosphere with most of the games being played in Birmingham and the championship being played in Canton, Ohio.
In 2023, teams shared stadiums with Ford Field in Detroit, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Protective Stadium in Birmingham and Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis being the bases.
The Stallions won back-to-back titles and the league saw several players on NFL rosters over the last two years.
The XFL was rebooted in 2020 and became a top spring league until the effects of the coronavirus pandemic not only canceled the season but forced the sale of the property altogether. The Rock and Garcia spearheaded the purchase of the league and got it back up in 2023.
The XFL had eight teams as well in 2023 – DC Defenders, Seattle Sea Dragons, St. Louis BattleHawks, Vegas Vipers, Arlington Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, Orlando Guardians and San Antonio Brahmas.
The Renegades defeated the Defenders in the championship.
Details about the markets will be released later.

Macron Eyes 2024: A Year of Hope and Pride for France
The dawn of the new year finds the French President Emmanuel Macron buoyant with optimism, seeing the year 2024 as a beacon of national pride and hope for France. This optimism is not unfounded, as the year coincides with France hosting the much-anticipated Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. Macron’s enthusiasm is a reflection of the potential these international sporting events hold to foster unity, economic growth, and cultural exchange.
Preparations Underway for the Global Gala
The wheels are already in motion for the Olympics, with infrastructure and facilities being meticulously developed to accommodate the global sporting event. These preparations go beyond the sporting arenas. They encompass efforts to showcase France’s rich cultural heritage and modern achievements, painting a vibrant picture of the nation on the international canvas.
A National Morale Booster amidst Challenging Times
Macron’s statement comes at a time when France, like the rest of the world, is grappling with economic and social upheavals. The Olympics is seen as an opportunity to bolster national morale and uplift France’s international reputation. The President’s vision for 2024 embodies the belief that the Olympics will serve as a catalyst for a renewed sense of French identity and global prominence.
More Than Just a Sporting Event
The Olympics is not just about sports; it’s about the spirit of the nation. It is seen as a trigger for sustainable development and technological innovation within the country. As France aims to present itself at its best to the global audience, the event is expected to be a launchpad for a modern, dynamic, and sustainable France.
As the world gears up to witness the grand spectacle of the Olympics in Paris, the year 2024 holds a promise of hope, unity, and national pride for France. The eyes of the world will be on France, and the nation is ready to rise to the occasion.

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

Ravens beat Dolphins 56-19 in Baltimore blowout
BALTIMORE -- A match-up between the Ravens and the Dolphins led to a Baltimore blowout—one that seals the deal for the Ravens as the top playoff seed and the Super Bowl favorite.
Miami opened the game with a touchdown, and the Ravens responded with eight touchdowns by seven different players and a variety of scoring highlights.
Those highlights include Zay Flowers' 75-yard catch and run on a toss from Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Tight end Isaiah Likely grabbed two of Jackson's five touchdown passes.
The Ravens led by 15 points at halftime and poured on more in the second half of the game.
"I don't know if I've seen a more impressive performance in a game," Coach John Harbaugh said. "I'm not sure I've seen a more impressive performance in a season to date and obviously we've got a lot more work to do, a lot more work in front of us."
The Ravens defense kept Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in check. They intercepted him twice and sacked him three times.
In the end, the Ravens beat the Dolphins 56-19.
"We had a lot of guys banged up, nicked up with injuries, guys who couldn't play," Jackson said. "We had guys who stepped up, knew the situation and they played lights out, all phases. We all knew it was important for us to get this win and we did just that."
Sunday's game was yet another convincing argument that Jackson is the league's most valuable player, and with a record of 13-and-3 the Ravens leave little doubt about their standing in the NFL.
"Honestly, I just think we're the best team in the league, and I feel like we've been that since the first game, Houston," Ravens linebacker Odafe Oweh said. "I like that the past few games have been against the big dogs in the league. So, we leave, no, they gotta know we're the best team after the few past games."
Next weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers will come to Baltimore for a game that doesn't matter to the Ravens. The team will be resting in preparation for the playoffs, knowing the next road game they'll play—if they make it to the Super Bowl—will be in Las Vegas in February.

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

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

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

In 1789, the French Monarchy's habit of supporting democratic popular revolutions in North America backfired. Today, we're talking about the French Revolution. Across the world, people were rising up to throw off monarchies, and Louis didn't see the writing on the wall until it was too late.

North Korea's plans for 2024: 3 more spy satellites and more nuclear materials
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to launch three additional military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and introduce attack drones in 2024, as he called for "overwhelming" war readiness to cope with U.S.-led confrontational moves, state media reported Sunday.
Kim’s comments, made during a key ruling Workers’ Party meeting to set state goals for next year, suggest he’ll intensify a run of weapons tests ahead of the U.S. presidential elections in November. Observers say Kim believes a boosted nuclear capability would give him another chance for high-stakes diplomacy with the U.S. to win sanctions relief if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House.
During the five-day meeting that ended Saturday, Kim said "vicious" anti-North Korea moves by the United States and its followers "have reached the extremes unprecedented in history," pushing the Korean Peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. Kim cited the expansion of U.S.-South Korean military exercises and the temporary deployment of powerful U.S. military assets such as bombers and a nuclear-armed submarine in South Korea — the steps the allies have taken in response to the North’s weapons testing spree since last year.

He set forth plans to launch three more military spy satellites next year in addition to the country’s first reconnaissance satellite launched in November. He underscored the need to establish "a reliable foundation" to build more nuclear weapons, an apparent reference to facilities producing fissile materials like weapons-grade plutonium and highly enriched uranium. Kim also ordered authorities to enhance submarine capabilities and develop various types of unmanned combat equipment such as armed drones.
"Pyongyang might be waiting out the U.S. presidential election to see what its provocations can buy it with the next administration," said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul.

"The Kim regime has closed the political door on denuclearization negotiations but could offer rhetorical restraint and a testing freeze in exchange for sanctions relief," Easley said. "Although North Korea has no intention of giving up nuclear weapons, it might try to extract payment for acting like a so-called responsible nuclear power."
Kim has been focusing on modernizing his nuclear arsenal since his diplomacy with Trump broke down in 2019 due to wrangling over how much sanctions relief the North could get for a partial surrender of its nuclear program. Experts say Kim likely thinks that Trump, if elected for a second term, could make concessions as the U.S. is preoccupied with the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas fighting.

Nam Sung-wook, a professor at Korea University in South Korea, said if President Joe Biden is reelected, North Korea won’t get what it wants. But he predicted a Trump win could revive diplomacy, saying Trump will likely say during his campaign that he can convince North Korea to suspend intimidating weapons tests.
He said Kim’s vow to ramp up production of plutonium and uranium is meant to strengthen his negotiating cards. Nam said North Korea will also test-launch more intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the continental U.S. this year.
"North Korea will act to the fullest extent under its timetable for provocation until the U.S. election day," Nam said.
During his speech at the party meeting, Kim used bellicose, derisive rhetoric against South Korea, calling it "a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state" whose society is "tainted by Yankee culture." He said South Korea must not be considered as a partner for reconciliation or unification. He ordered the military to use all available means including nuclear weapons to conquer South Korea in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Unification Ministry responded by strongly condemning North Korea for pushing to advance its nuclear program and displaying hostility toward its neighbors. A statement said South Korea will try to overwhelmingly deter North Korean threats based on a solid alliance with the United States.
Some analysts have speculated that limited clashes between the Koreas along their tense border could happen in the coming year. South Korea’s spy agency said last week that North Korea will likely launch military provocations and cyberattacks ahead of South Korean parliamentary elections in April and the U.S. presidential election in November.
Kim also maintained that North Korea must solidify cooperation with "anti-imperialist, independent" countries that he said oppose U.S.-led Western hegemony.
Kim didn’t name the countries. But North Korea has been seeking to beef up its cooperation with Russia and China, which have repeatedly blocked attempts by the U.S. and its partners to toughen U.N. sanctions on the North over its banned missile tests. The U.S. and South Korea accuse North Korea of supplying artillery and ammunition to Russia in return for high-tech Russian technologies for its own military programs.
Julianne Smith, U.S. permanent representative to NATO, said earlier this month the U.S. assessed that the suspected Russian technologies North Korea seeks are related to fighter aircraft, surface-to-air missiles, armored vehicles, ballistic missile production equipment or materials of that kind. Smith said U.S. intelligence indicates that North Korea had provided Russia with more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions.
South Korean officials said Russian support likely enabled North Korea to put its spy satellite into orbit for the first time on Nov. 21. Many foreign experts are skeptical about the satellite’s ability but South Korean Defense Minister Shin Wonsik said in November that Russia could help North Korea produce higher-resolution satellite photos.
Yang Uk, an analyst at Seoul’s Asan Institute for Policy Studies, said that he believes North Korea hasn’t yet obtained functioning ICBMs that can launch nuclear strikes on the continental U.S. But he said North Korea’s shorter-range nuclear-armed missiles can reach South Korea and Japan, where a total of 80,000 American troops are stationed.
Estimates on the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from 20-30 bombs to more than 100. The U.N. atomic agency and foreign experts recently said North Korea appears to have started operating a light-water reactor at its main nuclear complex in a possible attempt to secure a new source for weapons-grade plutonium.
Meanwhile, Kim said during the meeting that North Korea made "eye-opening" economic achievements by fulfilling or exceeding set quotas in major areas such as farming, housing construction and fisheries. Nam, the professor, said the self-praise appears aimed at burnishing Kim’s image as a leader who cares about public livelihoods as well as military issues.

MLB Battles Declining Black Player Percentage: A Commitment to Change
The Major League Baseball (MLB) organization is taking determined strides to address a longstanding issue: the dwindling percentage of Black players. An unsettling report recently highlighted that only 6.2% of players on MLB opening day rosters were Black, marking the lowest rate since 1991. This decrease from the previous year underscores a trend that has been a matter of concern for several decades.
MLB’s Commitment to Diversifying the Field
However, the wheels are in motion to reverse this alarming trend. The MLB Draft Combine, held in Phoenix, witnessed approximately 15% of the participating players identifying as Black. This event, among others, serves as evidence of MLB’s commitment to encouraging diversity in the sport.
Initiatives such as the MLB Youth Academy, DREAM Series, and Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program have been pivotal in offering exposure, fostering connections, and providing role models for young minority players. MLB’s diversity endeavors aim to nurture talent from all communities and ensure an inclusive sporting environment.
$150 Million Investment to Boost Black Participation
Further cementing its commitment, MLB has pledged $150 million to a 10-year partnership with the Players Alliance. This alliance aims to bolster Black participation throughout all levels of baseball, from youth leagues to the professional sphere. This significant financial commitment demonstrates MLB’s dedication to fostering a more diverse and inclusive sport.
Signs of Positive Change on the Horizon
The recent amateur draft signaled a potential shift in the right direction, with an unprecedented selection of four Black players among the first five picks. This historic selection could indicate an upswing in Black representation in baseball, a sport woven into the fabric of America.
Despite these encouraging developments, significant challenges remain. The financial burden associated with nurturing professional players and the substantial time commitment required pose formidable obstacles. However, with a concerted effort and sustained commitment, MLB is working steadfastly to ensure that baseball remains a sport for all.

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

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

Russian forces shelled three areas in Sumy Oblast on Nov. 29, the local military administration reported on Telegram.
At least 15 strikes were recorded in the past 24 hours which hit the communities of Krasnopillia, Esman, and Velyka Pysarivka.
No casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure were reported.
The Russian military targeted the settlements with an onslaught of shelling, mortar fire, and grenade launcher attacks.
The community of Velyka Pysarivka, home to roughly 3,900 residents, experienced the most intense attacks, with 10 explosions originating from grenade launcher attacks recorded in the area. The town is located just 7 kilometers west of the Russia-Ukraine border.
Shelling is a daily occurrence for the communities near Ukraine's northeastern border with Russia. Residents in the region's vulnerable border settlements endure multiple attacks per day.

Powerball jackpot: New year kicks off with $810 million prize on the line
The Powerball jackpot hit an estimated $810 million Saturday night after no winners were announced in the final drawing of 2023, lottery officials announced.
The next drawing will kick off on Jan. 1, offering players the opportunity to start the new year with a hefty prize that carries an estimated cash value of $408.9 million.
The pot is now ranked as the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot and 10th-largest U.S. lottery jackpot in history, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. However, the odds of winning it are just as slim as ever, about 1 in 292.2 million.
"We’re excited to offer our players a jackpot of this magnitude to kick off the New Year!" Powerball Product Group Chair and Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko said, adding that players are still reminded to play responsibly, especially during the holiday.

If a player nabs the winnings, they can accept the annuitized prize worth an estimated $810 million or take the lump sum payment estimated at $408.9 million, both of which will have taxes deducted.

NASCAR Legend Cale Yarborough’s Enduring Legacy: A Journey of Resilience and Excellence
Cale Yarborough, a legendary NASCAR driver has passed away at 84, leaving behind a legacy that shaped the sport’s history. His journey from a South Carolina farm to the race track epitomizes resilience and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Yarborough’s 83 victories establish him as one of the greatest figures in the history of stock car racing, tying him for sixth on the all-time NASCAR wins list and making him the first driver to clinch three consecutive Cup Series championships.
Early Struggles and Rise to Fame
Yarborough’s early years were shaped by a strong work ethic, a quality that would become a cornerstone of his racing career. His NASCAR journey began with challenges, including disqualification from a race for falsifying his age. However, his determination led him to the Wood Brothers Racing team where he achieved his first Daytona 500 win in 1968.
Making History on the Track
Yarborough’s fearlessness and competitive spirit set him apart on the track. His involvement in the 1979 Daytona 500, where a dramatic last-lap crash led to a fistfight with fellow drivers, became an iconic moment in NASCAR history. His multiple victories in the Daytona 500 and the Southern 500 underscored his exceptional skill, while his decision to scale back his racing schedule in the 1980s emphasized his values beyond the racetrack.
A Legacy Beyond the Race Track
Following his retirement as a driver, Yarborough ventured into team ownership, further contributing to NASCAR’s legacy. His induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2012 and his enduring impact on the sport’s culture and community solidify his status as a NASCAR icon. As the racing world mourns his loss, his legacy of resilience, determination, and pursuit of greatness is immortalized in the annals of NASCAR history.

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

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.

Seal playfully tugs at scuba diver's hat in cute moment caught on cam
A doctor, scuba diver and underwater videographer has made more than a few friends underwater since he started diving in the UK nearly 20 years ago.
Video from Ben Burville, who works by day as a doctor in the coastal town of Amble, Northumberland, shows him scuba diving with two curious seals, one of which tugs at his scuba hat while the other holds his hand.
The adorable moment is one of dozens Burville has caught on camera since he started swimming with the seals decades ago.
In his latest, Burville posted the video to X with the caption, "I had a strange feeling that there was something behind me."
Burville says he specializes in UK marine life and researching dolphins and seals.
Watch: Moose deadpans to camera after getting pied in the face with snow
Earlier this month, two lucky fishermen had an awe-inspiring encounter when they spotted a "superpod" of hundreds of dolphins just off the coast of Sussex in the English Channel.
Jake Davison, who recorded the video, told FOX Television Stations that he and his companion had been out fishing for a few hours when they "spotted a huge commotion."

NFC South Showdown: New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The NFC South division is set for a nail-biting faceoff as the New Orleans Saints prepare to lock horns with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. This highly anticipated match is scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, with the Buccaneers being favored by a 2.5-point spread. The match carries high stakes for both teams as a win could drastically alter their season’s trajectories.
Previous Performances and Records
The Saints, coming off a loss to the Los Angeles Rams, carry a record of 7-8 straight up (SU), 4-10-1 against the spread (ATS), and 5-10 over/under (O/U). Standing in stark contrast, the Buccaneers, fresh off a victory against Jacksonville, boast an 8-7 SU, 10-5 ATS, and 6-9 O/U record. This victory marked their fourth consecutive win, a testament to their rising form. The last encounter between these two teams witnessed the Buccaneers outshining the Saints with a 26-9 victory, thanks to the stellar performance from quarterback Baker Mayfield, who threw an impressive three touchdowns.
Team Statistics and Player Performance
Both teams have key players sidelined due to injuries, which could significantly affect their game strategies. The Saints average 22.1 points per game and yield 19.8, with Derek Carr commanding the offense, Alvin Kamara leading the rushing attack, and Chris Olave being the top option in the passing game. Their defense ranks ninth, allowing opponents 19.8 PPG. The Buccaneers, on the other hand, average 21.7 points per game and give up 20.1. With Baker Mayfield leading the Tampa offense, Rachaad White spearheading the rushing attack, and Mike Evans leading the passing game, the Buccaneers’ defense ranks 11th in points allowed per game (20.1).
Implications and Predictions
The Buccaneers have the chance to secure the NFC South title with a win, whereas the Saints can stay afloat in the wild card race with a victory. Given the stakes, it’s anticipated that the Buccaneers will likely cover the spread, with Mayfield expected to continue his strong performance. The prediction for the game’s total leans towards under, considering both teams’ challenges in the running game and the Buccaneers’ effective pass rush. However, in the unpredictable world of sports, the final whistle is the only certainty.

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.

Michigan home explosion heard for miles kills 4 and injures 2, police say
DETROIT (AP) — Four people died and two others were injured Saturday in a Michigan house explosion that could be heard miles away, police said.
The explosion happened before 4 p.m. in Northfield Township, about 45 miles (72.4 kilometers) west of Detroit. The structure was destroyed, leaving only the basement, Northfield Township Police Lt. David Powell told reporters Saturday.
The blast, which could be heard about 9 miles (14.4 kilometers) away, sent debris into the air that landed on both sides of a nearby highway. Neighboring homes were not damaged, Powell said.
Six people were in the home, with four fatalities discovered at the scene and the two surviving victims hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not immediately know if the victims were related, Powell said.
Authorities have not determined the cause of the explosion.
Northfield Township police did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking additional information on Sunday.

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.

Teen flying alone on Frontier Airlines ends up in Puerto Rico instead of Cleveland
A teen traveling alone on Frontier Airlines over the holidays ended up on the wrong flight, ending up in San Juan, Puerto Rico when he was trying to get to Cleveland.
Logan Lose, 16, was headed from Tampa International Airport more than 1,000 miles away to Cleveland, Ohio, to visit his mom for the holidays on Dec. 22, WFLA reported. Instead, the boy landed more than 1,200 southeast in San Juan, leaving his parents wanting someone to be held accountable.
"They would’ve known it was the wrong flight if they scanned the boarding pass," father Ryan Lose told the TV station. The Frontier Airlines agent at the gate Logan reportedly checked his baggage, looked at his mobile boarding pass and told him he could get on the plane.
"Help me please," Logan texted his family once he landed. "I’m so scared. They told me it was Ohio."

"My first reaction was panic," his father said. "He’s panicking, he’s scared, and I can’t be there to keep him safe."
The teen was reportedly two hours ahead of schedule, and was at the right gate that his flight was supposed to leave from after the one departing to Puerto Rico.
"He was able to board as a result of an error on the part of the boarding agent," a Frontier Airlines spokeswoman told WFLA. "He was immediately flown back to Tampa on the same aircraft and accommodated on a flight to Cleveland the following day."
The airline told NBC News they extended its sincere apologies to the family for the error.

"They kept brushing it off, saying no that’s not possible. That can’t happen," Ryan said. "And when they did finally realize their mistake and said it looks like Logan did get on the other plane, they just said, oh sorry and that was it."
The father added that Frontier offered him a $200 travel voucher following the mishap, but he prefers accountability.
Frontier Airlines does not have an unaccompanied minor program that escorts young travelers like many other airlines do. Instead, passengers under the age of 15 cannot travel alone.

A similar incident took place recently with a much younger traveler. On Dec. 21, an unaccompanied 6-year-old flying Spirit Airlines from Philadelphia to Fort Myers, Florida, was incorrectly put on a flight to Orlando.
On Friday, Spirit told FOX 35 Orlando, "This agent is no longer working with Spirit, and any individual whose actions resulted in the incorrect boarding will be held accountable for failing to follow our procedures.

NFL Season: A Tale of Triumphs, Trials, and Team Tactics
The National Football League (NFL) has always been a compelling theater of dreams and despair. This season is no different. The storylines of each team’s performance and prospects are as varied as they are intriguing.
Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots
The Buffalo Bills remain in a promising position, as they clinch close victories and remain on course for the Wild Card race. The New England Patriots, on the other hand, grapple with offensive efficiency, a struggle that could define their season’s narrative.
Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants
Since the season’s kickoff, the Los Angeles Rams have shown marked improvement, a testament to their resilience and adaptability. In contrast, the New York Giants are finding it challenging to maintain positive ground gains, a situation that could lead to a tense end to their season.
Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons
In the heartland of Illinois, the Chicago Bears are finally coming together after years of rebuilding. Their next match against the Atlanta Falcons is predicted to see a strong performance from the Bears.
Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas

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.

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

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

US forces shoot down ballistic missiles, kill Houthi gunmen in Red Sea
The U.S. military said Sunday it shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired toward a container ship by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. Hours later, four boats tried to attack the same ship, but U.S. forces opened fire, killing several of the armed crews, the U.S. Central Command said. No one was injured on the ship.
The Singapore-flagged MAERSK HANZGHOU reported they had already been hit by a missile Saturday night while transiting the Southern Red Sea and requested assistance, CENTCOM said in a statement. The USS GRAVELY and USS LABOON responded to the call for help, and the Denmark-owned vessel was reportedly seaworthy and no injuries were noted, the statement added.
"This is the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since Nov. 19," CENTCOM said.

In another statement, CENTCOM said the same ship issued an additional distress call about a second attack "by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats." The attackers fired small arms weapons at the MAERSK HANZGHOU, getting to within 20 meters (about 65 feet) of the vessel, and attempted to it, CENTCOM said.
A contract-embarked security team on the ship returned fire, the central command said. U.S. helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier and GRAVELY responded to the distress call and while issuing verbal warnings to the attackers, the small boat crews opened fire on the helicopters using small arms, the statement said.
"The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense," sinking three of the four boats, killing the crews while the fourth boat fled the area, CENTCOM said, and no damage to U.S. personnel or equipment was reported.

The Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end Israel’s air-and-ground offensive targeting the Gaza Strip following the attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Oct.7.
On Saturday, the top commander of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their "reckless" attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up.
Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have traveled through the Red Sea region, and none has been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper said in an Associated Press interview.

(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic.
In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers.
How a Lease Buyout Works
If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership.
Residual Value in Today’s Market
Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value.
Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car
Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle.
And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract.
Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider
There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price.
Additional fees include:
- Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in.
- State sales tax
- Registration fees
Can I Finance My Lease Buyout?
You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer.
Other Things to Consider
Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it.
Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease.
Bottom Line
Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

Richard Dolan was first to use the phrase, though I first heard it from Jason Jorjani. The idea is that there are whole communities built on technology far advanced from what is in the public domain. They are somewhere on this planet — perhaps in underground cities, perhaps under the ocean or Antarctica. It is the world’s biggest secret.
- Testimony of Bob Lazar, Philip Corso, Luis Elizondo, David Grusch. Ben Rich of Lockheed Skunkworks was reported to have said, “we now have technology to take ET home.”
- Video of Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs)
- DARPA is secretive. We know almost nothing about their “advanced” projects.
- Suppression of advanced energy inventors
- Ancient artifacts that could not have been made with any known technology
- $21 trillion spent off-the-books at the Pentagon
What do they have?
- Cold Fusion.
- Weather modification. Directed energy.
- Anti-gravity?
- Zero point energy”?
- Faster-than-light travel, wormholes?
- Healing and disease cures by means that look like magic??
Why the secrecy?
- From the will to power of those who have it
- To prevent the technology from falling into the hands of terrorists, blackmailers, or saboteurs
- Satanism
Implications for our future
- There is the possibility that powerful groups that are wresting control away from our democratic institutions are connected to the breakaway civilization.
- The word “disruptive technology” has become a commonplace in venture capitalist circles. There is now the possibility that new technologies will soon disrupt our lives, our communities, our grounding in the world, not merely disruptive to “markets”.
In 1989, Bob Lazar was a brilliant 30-year-old wise guy who snuck his buddies into Area 51, where his job was to try to figure out how a captured anti-gravity device works. He was caught, and feared for his life. His lawyer told him the safest thing he could do would be to go to the press and spill everything he knew; after that, no secret purpose could be served by killing him. Lazar has tried to lead a quiet, if neurotic life ever since, but he has commented on UFO videos released by the US Navy. A few years ago, he was interviewed by Joe Rogan. I’ve been unable to find a link to the original 1989 interview.
Philip Corso was an army Colonel who published a 1997 book about his 15 years supervising the reverse engineering of downed ET spacecraft. In his account, his job was to offer objects of ET origin to major US corporations, without revealing where they came from. Most of the technologies described in the book had already come into common use in 1997, including integrated circuits, fiber optics, Kevlar, and Velcro.
Especially after the Freedom of Information Act (1967), the US military preferred to farm out the job of reverse engineering spacecraft to private contractors, who were beyond FOIA’s reach. Ben Rich was head of Lockheed Skunkworks, reportedly the biggest recipient of these contracts. Richard Dolan reports that, according to Rich, President Nixon attempted to penetrate the secrecy of the military UFO effort shortly after he took office in 1969, and that in response those running the program transferred accountability to an “international board of directors in the private sector.” Other Presidents have since tried to learn what they can about the program, and they have been told, one and all, that access was on a need-to-know basis, and the President didn’t qualify.
Ben Rich had a lot of interesting stories to tell. Before he died in 1994, he was quoted as saying “There is an error in the equations, and we have figured it out, and now know how to travel to the stars and it won’t take a lifetime to do it.” Also: “There are many in the intelligence community who would like to see this stay in the black and never see the light of day. It is time to end all the secrecy on this, as it no longer poses a national security threat, and make the technology available for use in the private sector.” The quote about “taking ET home” also is attributed to Rich. “They have about 4500 people at the Lockheed Skunkworks. What have they been doing for the last 18 or 20 years? They’re building something.”
One more story from Ben Rich: All during his tenure at Skunkworks and after his retirement, he supported the secrecy of the program because he thought the American public could not handle the truth. But in his last years, he confided in a friend that the ETs were exerting control over our planet from the fringes, and that stopping them might be more important than keeping the technology transfers secret. (This is related to a hypothesis I cited last week.)
In 2018, Michigan Prof Mark Skidmore and Catherine Austin Fitts published an audit of government books in which they claim that $21 trillion was unaccounted for, mostly at the Pentagon. For context, $21 trillion is more than the total that Congress has appropriated for the DoD and its predecessor, the Department of War in 248 years since the founding of our Republic. The magnitude of the accounting disparity implies an unparalleled level of secrecy, and the employment of millions of workers. How do you hide such a project? The story fits well with the hypothesis that there are vast underground cities connected by tunnels with mag-lev trains, and technologies that are beyond our dreams.
We have seen Navy photos and radars of vehicles that drop instantly from 100,000 feet to sea level, and that disappear in one place, then reappear 100 miles away, almost instantaneously. These could be UFOs or humans flying with reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technologies, or they could be an elaborate hoax by a Breakaway community to convince us that their human technology is extraterrestrial.
I have written about ancient technologies, and speculated that some kind of anti-gravity tech or perhaps a harnessed and technologized psychokinesis was used to quarry and move millions of stone blocks in the three Giza Pyramids, and other megalithic sites around the world, some with much larger stones.
Derinkuyu is physical testimony to the fact that someone knew how to build entire underground cities untold thousands of years in the past. Robert Schoch tells us why that might have been necessary. Tens of thousands of years ago, there was solar and cosmic ray activity that made it unsafe for humans to spend much of their lives above ground.
One more puzzle piece that has impressed me comes from my involvement in the community of people promoting radical energy technology. At least one luminary of our community was murdered, and rumor has it that many have been threatened to suppress breakthrough technologies that they develop.
Cold fusion is the only technology that I’ve actually seen with my own eyes, examined the data, and can attest is real. This is the capacity to create enormous amounts of cheap nuclear energy with very little dangerous radiation, in a shoebox that could be in your basement or in a car or airplane. In the public domain are schemes that are unreliable and can’t be turned on at will, but I’m pretty sure these problems have been solved and the technology is being suppressed. Cold fusion would be sufficient to power vast underground cities, and to bore the tunnels connecting them without burning anything and without releasing air pollutants.
Cold fusion does not violate any laws of physics as we understand them, but there are rumors of more exotic energy technologies that extract energy from the vacuum. Zero-point energy devices defy the Second Law of Thermodynamics, though they don’t run afoul of more fundamental physics. Indeed, Dirac’s relativistic quantum mechanics from 1928 implies that what we call a “vacuum” is teeming with particles of “negative energy”. Many people have speculated that Tesla had free energy technology, and that is why his notebooks and lab equipment were seized by the FBI immediately upon his death. Steven Krivit’s web site is a source for news, stories, and rumors about both cold fusion and the more speculative free energy.
Directed energy weapons are an open secret. We have hints that they are being deployed from satellites, for example in Maui last summer and on 9/11 in Manhattan. Similarly, weather warfare is an unacknowledged technology, documented extensively by Dane Wigington and by Peter Kirby.
Anti-gravity is not possible within the laws of physics as we understand them. Neither Newtonian gravity nor Einstein’s General Relativity admit the possibility of shielding from a gravitational field or generating repulsive gravity. The principal reason to believe that such technology exists is that UFOs have been observed to start and stop (and to turn) almost instantaneously. (The “principle of equivalence” says that gravitation and acceleration are indistinguishable, and indeed are the same phenomenon as experienced by different observers.) UFO maneuvers would produce a pseudo-gravitational field that would crush any person or instrument inside the capsule unless there is some form of gravitational shielding at work.
A weaker but more direct argument for anti-gravity is that Bob Lazar tells us reverse engineering a repulsive gravity device was his work assignment in 1989, and of course there is Ben Rich’s claim that “we can take ET home” almost certainly involves either anti-gravity or a closely-related, equally outrageous technology involving wormholes.
Are there advanced healing technologies as well? These would have immediate relevance to almost all of us, and they do not get into trouble with fundamental physics. There are occasional cases of spontaneous healing, and numerous examples of the mind having a powerful influence over the body, either for healing or, in some cases, to create full-blown physical disease. Various energy healing disciplines (Reiki, acupuncture, TCM, ayurveda) provide systematic accounts that guide practitioners, but these are generally not commensurate with Western mechanistic accounts of biology. There are credible people who believe that specific radio frequencies have the power to create disease or to cure it.
The idea that radical healing is available through some combination of physical and subtle energy is plausible, though I have no direct experience with it. The technology called a Med Bed is a persistent rumor. On theoretical grounds, it is less incredible than anti-gravity or wormholes, and we can easily imagine that an alien culture that is a million years ahead of our technology would have harnessed healing modalities unknown to us. But evidence is less available than for the fully physical technologies. I include this technology mainly because I have a trusted friend, well versed in both energy healing and conventional bench science, who has told me that Med Beds are real.
There are mundane explanations for the secrecy around UFO recoveries beginning at Roswell (1947). The military had just come from a world war and was fearful of communism, and the OSS was morphing into the even-more-secretive CIA.
The conventional story is that secrecy was a habit that had staying power even as original justifications became irrelevant. The more time went on, the more the lies and denials had accumulated, the harder it would be to come clean. Indeed, if the President and the CIA director and the Joint Chiefs of the Military and leaders of Russia, China, Germany, and Japan all appeared at an international press conference tomorrow, accompanied on stage by one Grey alien, one Nordic, and three Reptilians; if they fully revealed the state of the technologies that had been developed over the last century, demonstrated anti-gravity on screen, and showed us videos of an underground civilization, I think it probable that most of the public would assume the video was fake, and would refuse to accept this new reality.
The reason for secrecy may just be the will to power in ambitious men. Or it may be that the technological secrets are linked to the secrecy of ancient secret societies, the Illuminati and the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons, Skull and Bones, the Knights Templar and the Kiwanis Club that meets in your local community center. Survivors of ritual child abuse tell us of satanic rituals, including murder and dismemberment of infants, rampant among the super-rich and the European aristocracy. These are the same people that we might suspect have access to the breakaway technologies, and who are conniving in secret to undermine our democracies and create a totalitarian world government.
The most benign explanation for secrecy is that these same technologies that offer liberation from toil and pollution and which obviate the need to rape planet earth for minerals and fossil fuels — these same technologies could also be weaponized to create basement bombs capable of destroying a city.
But the secrets are now game-changing for the future of the planet, and I predict that the planet will find a way to unlock them. In 2024, the irresistible force is about to burst through the immoveable barrier.
The hypothesis that there is a human community with breakaway technologies is on firmer ground than the ET hypothesis. It may be that all the UFOs are of human origin, along with all the livestock mutilations, the crop circles, and the abductions. Alien visitors could be a fantastically Baroque psy-op, and all the witnesses to “reverse engineered technology” might just be covering up for secret human technologies. In this reality, the breakaway hypothesis is actually strengthened.
There is the possibility that powerful groups that are wresting control away from our democratic institutions are connected to the breakaway civilization.
The most generous interpretation of their behavior is that their technology is easily weaponizable. They fear some disgruntled Ted Kaczynski could blow up Manhattan with a device he made in his garage. The fear of super-saboteurs may be the reason that the Elite seem so intent on locking us down, tracking our every transaction with digital currencies, and surveilling our every move.
But it may be simple hubris. Humans being what they are, they probably have contempt for us, the 8 billion who are living in such primitive conditions.
If you or I were a stewards of advanced technology that powers a breakaway civilization, our project would certainly be to share this technology widely in the world of 8 billion muggles, and create a permanent state of empowerment, leisure, liberty, security, and abundance. But let’s suppose the stewards of this technology have outsized egos. Maybe their goal is to eliminate the 8 billion who live in the beauty of Earth’s valleys and forests, so that they can bring their technology and their breakaway civilization above ground, without ignorant plebes that take up space and fill the earth with their boring, mundane thoughts.
Maybe they want to exterminate us, or maybe they just want to bring us under their control, in a global panopticon that guarantees the security of the ruling elite. They want to assure that no one can think an unauthorized thought or entertain an idea that is threatening to the established order.
Democracy and cultural diversity are anathema to these people. They want us securely under their thumbs before they rebuild out infrastructure based in the 4th Industrial Revolution technologies.
It’s not going to unfold this way, though perhaps it will begin with martial law and unprecedented levels of government surveillance and shut-down of the world’s major democracies. The truth about the Overlords and their plans will leak out. Well, the truth has probably already leaked out long ago, and many times since. But it will leak in a way that is so squarely in our faces that people have to start believing it, even though it makes their heads spin, even though it is so bewildering and disorienting that no one can assimilate the new reality. It will be a time of great volatility. People who believe this strange truth will be convinced to believe even stranger things that may not be true. The Overlords will escalate their censorship and propaganda, but it will be too late to close the barn door.
The term “disruptive technology” has become a buzzword in venture capitalist circles, and has lost its bite. There is now the possibility that new technologies will soon disrupt our lives, our communities, our grounding in the world, not merely disruptive to “markets”.
Expect the unexpected? Imagine the unimaginable? Maybe Wittkenstein wasn’t so dumb when he said, “Whereof nothing can be spoken, thereof we must be silent.” I’m not going to write about the worst case scenario, nor am I going to think about it.
In the best speculative scenario, the technologies for unlimited energy, anti-gravity and travel to the stars will be released concurrently with (what Jorjani calls) the “specular technologies”. These are a blend of hardware with techniques of the mind. We will be able to read each other’s thoughts, making all the secrets on which evil depends untenable. We will become aware that, to a great extent, the thoughts that appear in our heads are not ours alone, but have been shared by members of our families and communities, especially the people about whom we care most. The feeling of separate existence which is the bedrock of modern Western culture, reductionist science, capitalist systems, economic competition, and utilitarian philosophy — our sense of separate existence, of isolation and aloneness will dissolve. We will live once again in the shared reality of indigenous communities today and, presumably, of our antedeluvian ancestors. Ideas like loving thy neighbor and embracing the common good will no longer seem like laws or Commandments from on high, but will feel as natural to us as, say, the desire to lose oneself in sexual union.
It’s not too early to start building this kind of community here and now.

NFL Week 17: Critical Match-ups Could Define Playoff Landscape
The final week of the NFL regular season is upon us, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With playoff implications on the line, Week 17 of the NFL season is marked by critical match-ups that could make or break postseason dreams. The morning slate includes a standout game between the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens, a duel that could define the AFC’s playoff landscape.
High Stakes in the AFC
The Ravens have a golden opportunity to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a victory. They have already secured a playoff berth and are riding a five-game winning streak into this pivotal game. On the other hand, the Dolphins, despite having clinched a playoff spot, find themselves in a must-win situation to keep their hopes alive for the top seed. The Dolphins are seeking to win their division for the first time since 2008 and secure a 12-win season for the first time since 1990, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the encounter.
Playoff Picture Takes Shape
As the day progresses, the focus shifts to a pivotal NFC North division rivalry. The evening game features the Green Bay Packers against the Minnesota Vikings. Each team is competing for a playoff spot, making the game crucial for their postseason aspirations. As we enter the penultimate week, only eight teams have been eliminated from playoff contention across the league, leaving 24 teams still in the hunt with just two weeks left in the season. The playoff race is particularly tight in the AFC, where several teams have the same records.
The Road to Playoffs
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns have already punched their ticket, becoming the seventh team to secure a playoff berth this year. Among other teams looking for a playoff-clinching scenario in Week 17 include the Bills, Eagles, and 49ers. The playoff spots are locked up, but all seven seeds in each conference are still up for grabs. The Browns and Lions are in the playoffs together for the first time since 1994, signaling that this season is anything but ordinary.
As Week 17 unfolds, the NFL playoff picture continues to be updated with every game, every touchdown, and every field goal. The AFC and NFC playoff pictures are being constantly updated as the games progress, with every win, loss, or tie reshaping the standings. The live standings and elimination scenarios are being tracked throughout the weekend, making every moment count.

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.
Lil'Jordan with a big run after the catch for the TD!
— NFL (@NFL) December 31, 2023
📺: #LACvsDEN on CBS
📱: Stream on #NFLPlus https://t.co/sFjqko01pD pic.twitter.com/2vDYUGM8bR
Stidham was 12 of 22 for 165 yards in the first half. It wasn't hard to see the difference in the Broncos' offensive approach with Stidham at quarterback. Wilson had fewer than 30 attempts in a game seven times this season. Payton wanted to play a ball control game with Wilson at quarterback.
With Stidham, things opened up a little bit. Perhaps that was to prove a point about the quarterback that was just benched.
Broncos hold lead into 4th quarter
In the second half, the Broncos' biggest play was a defensive pass interference. On fourth-and-1, Stidham threw to the end zone to heavily defended Jerry Jeudy. But Chargers safety Alohi Gilman was called for pass interference, keeping the drive alive and setting up the Broncos at the 1-yard line. A couple of penalties on the Broncos cost them a shot at the touchdown, but a field goal gave them a 10-point lead.
The Chargers missed a field goal after that, and their offense wasn't leading a comeback. Easton Stick, who has been forced into action due to Justin Herbert's season-ending injury, was not very good against the Broncos defense. The Chargers did cut the Broncos' lead to 16-9 late in the game and had a shot to recover a muffed onside kick, but Denver got on it and was able to run out the clock after that.
Denver's offense wasn't very good either, especially against a bad Chargers defense that allowed 63 points to the Las Vegas Raiders a couple weeks ago. Stidham finished with 224 yards, a touchdown and he didn't throw an interception. He wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly the shot in the arm the Broncos were saying they were looking for with the move. Stidham was just better than Stick, and that was good enough for the win to keep the Broncos' season alive.
The performance also won't give the Broncos a ton of confidence if they do have to settle for Stidham next season. That conversation can start now, since the Broncos' playoff hopes have been dashed.

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

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.”

Cambridge Spring, Pa (WJET/WFXP/YourErie.com)– Some 300 national guardsmen were sent off by loved ones Sunday morning.
The Cambridge Springs-based Second Batallion, 112th infantry was called for deployment to Africa for nine months earlier this year.
Family and friends shared embraces with their loved ones as they hoped to pause time in that moment, taking it in.
Some 300 local members of the National Guard have been preparing to set off for deployment in Africa where they will tackle security objectives throughout the region. But they haven’t been the only ones preparing for the day.
“I guess I didn’t give it as much thought on my way out here, and it kind of hit me when I got here. I, all of the sudden, became emotional and said ‘wow my son’s really going away,'” said Lisa Orlando, National Guardsman mother.
It’s a sentiment hundreds of other parents at the armory in Cambridge Springs felt as well. One mother knows her son will benefit from experiencing new places and things in the world, but can’t help but feel anxious.
“As a mom, it’s emotional. Especially because it’s my youngest son. You hate to see that he’s going to be gone for nine months,” said Sarah Gowen, National Guardsman mother.
The captain of these young men and women being deployed truly are the best of the best and the training they’ve been through has prepared them for this day.
“It was really focused on what we’re going to be doing in Africa, which is security force operations. I’m very lucky to have prepared these soldiers. These individuals are probably the best this battalion has. Individually, they’re prepared. They’re very good at what they do and I think we’re pretty excited for this,” said Nathan Giroux, Captain of the 2nd battalion, 112th infantry.
Some of the guardsmen taking after others in their family and serving our country.
“I’ve been through this in the 60s and I never had to leave Erie, PA so I was lucky. I hope he makes it back safe and sound,” said Tony Orlando, National Guardsman family member.
Other parents gave their final words of advice before they said goodbye.
“Take it all in. Learn from it,” said Tony Gowen, National Guardsman father. “I’m expecting him to come back a changed man, honestly.”

Giants’ Tyrod Taylor solid in return to lineup but misses potential winning 2-point conversion
By TOM CANAVAN
AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Many fans were unhappy when New York Giants coach Brian Daboll decided to switch quarterbacks this week and had veteran Tyrod Taylor start in place of popular rookie Tommy DeVito.
Taylor missed a wide-open open Saquon Barkley with a short pass on a potential game-winning 2-point conversion try and fumbled a fourth-down snap in Giants territory to set a Rams’ touchdown, but was otherwise impressive in a 26-25 setback to red-hot Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Taylor was 27 of 41 for 319 yards and a touchdown and scrambled 31 yards in the final minute to set up a potential winning 54-yard field goal by Mason Crosby in the waning seconds. Crosby missed wide left and might have been short.
Taylor also threw an interception in the second quarter that resulted in some fans chanting: “Tommy! Tommy!” but he put up more passing yards in this game than DeVito did in any of his six starts. The undrafted rookie’s best was 246 in a win over Washington.
Taylor’s 319 yards passing were two shy of the team high of 321 set by Daniel Jones in the second week of the season. His 80-yard TD pass to Darius Slayton was the team’s longest offensive play from scrimmage this year, besting the 69-yarder he had to Slayton on Christmas after replacing DeVito in the second half against the Eagles.
“I think I played well, but like I told you, I judge myself off wins and losses and ultimately today wasn’t a winning performance, so it’s room to grow,” Taylor said.
The play that will stick out is the 2-point try after Gunner Olszewski broke a tackle and returned a punt 94 yards to get the Giants within a point with 3:27 to play. New York was going to go for the tying extra point, but an encroachment penalty changed those plans and the Giants went for the win from the 1-yard line.
Taylor rolled right and saw Barkley crossing the field open after he faked an inside run. But Taylor was indecisive and his pass fell to the ground, leaving many in MetLife Stadium stunned.
“Saquon was open,” Taylor said. “Was kind of caught in between running it and throwing it and didn’t do either one of them, but yeah, I’ve got to be better. It’s a routine throw, something I’ve hit plenty of times before. But yeah, that moment I didn’t execute.”
After the defense held, Taylor’s run got New York to the Rams 35. With no timeouts, the ball was spiked on first down. The coaches followed that with a draw call that Los Angeles stuffed. Following an incomplete pass, Crosby missed the kick which was at his maximum range.
“As a competitor, any time you lose, it’s never a good feeling,” Taylor said. “I can’t say whether one is harder to shake off versus the other, it’s just about looking at it with a critical eye. Like I said, looking in the mirror, asking yourself what you could’ve done better and attack those for the next week.”
Barkley, who carried 12 times for 39 yards, would not question the coaches on the draw call.
“Any time it’s a one-score game or a close game, any team can feel like they should’ve won, but at the end of the day, only one team gets a ‘W’ in the win column and we didn’t do that,” he said. “We had opportunities, we had a chance to win, but we failed to as a team.”

NHL Game Highlights Hidden Team Dynamics; Metro Vancouver Battles Water Crisis
In the heart of a thrilling NHL hockey game, on a chilly Thursday, December 7, 2023, in Vancouver, an extraordinary moment unfolded. It was the third period of the match against Minnesota Wild, and the Vancouver Canucks’ teammates, Tyler Myers (jersey number 57) and Nikita Zadorov (jersey number 91), were caught in a thoughtful exchange with their fellow player, J.T. Miller (jersey number 9). This intense interaction, captured by Darryl Dyck for Canadian Press, offered a unique glimpse into the intricate dynamics that drive high-stakes sports, such as NHL hockey.
The Critical Discussion
From the outside, it might seem like just a brief dialogue, but insiders understand the gravity of such interactions. During the pivotal phases of an NHL game, every word exchanged among players could potentially carry a game-changing strategy or a much-needed motivational surge. Amid the roaring crowd, the icy rink witnessing this conversation became a strategic battlefield, where quick wit and clear communication played as crucial a role as physical prowess.
Unveiling On-Ice Communications
These interactions are not just typical in-game banter. They reflect the spirit of teamwork and meticulous planning that goes into every game. These moments of intense discussion among players like Myers, Zadorov, and Miller are a testament to the tactical depth involved in hockey, a sport often oversimplified as a mere display of brute force and speed. This spectacle offers a rare window into the on-ice communication that often remains invisible to the spectators’ eyes.
Metro Vancouver’s Water Crisis
On a different note, Metro Vancouver’s water services director, Linda Parkinson, recently addressed the region’s high water demand, mainly driven by lawn watering. The peak water usage on July 1 hit an alarming 1.96 billion litres per day. The region’s water system is being tested by the dual challenge of climate change and a burgeoning population. In response, lawn watering was banned in early August, leading to a noticeable drop in water consumption. However, enforcing the watering restrictions has been a tough task, with some individuals flouting the rules, possibly due to automatic irrigation systems. The region is now exploring strategies to bolster its water system, as the water supply outlook predicts a considerable surge in water needs by 2120.
