The Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has welcomed Nigerians into 2024 with optimism, saying the present travails will never truncate God’s plan for Nigeria and its teeming population.
Bamidele, also, challenged Nigerians to walk by faith and not by sight, pointing out that 2024 “is not a year to live our lives according to proclamations and prophecies of some religious merchants, who are fond of foretelling evil about Nigeria.”
In a New Year message on Sunday by his Directorate of Media and Public Affairs, Bamidele asked all Nigerians not to be discouraged by diverse economic, political and social challenges that posed a threat to the peace, progress and unity of Nigeria.
The Senate leader said 2024 “is not a year to listen to religious leaders, who are fond of proclaiming negative prophecies about Nigeria and her future. No! Most of such clerics are not declaring the mind of God concerning Nigeria as a people.
“God’s plan for Nigeria is neither doom nor evil as evident in the Scripture. His plan for us as a people is peace, prosperity and a great future. And it is divinely ordained that His plans shall definitely come to pass if we hold fast the profession of our faith.
“As a people, we have a part to play in realising God’s plan for Nigeria. Our part is to daily trust in God Almighty for the fulfilment of all His promises; pray without ceasing for those He had ordained to rule over us and support the Government of Renewed Hope.”
Bamidele, specifically, urged Nigerians “not to be deterred by what is going on around us. Rather, we must keep our hope alive in God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. If we are preoccupied with what is happening around us, we may be too scared to go into the New Year in faith for a greater tomorrow.
“We should all know that we have God who created us only for His glory, plan and purpose. We should therefore not walk by sight. We should walk by faith in God the Omniscient and Omnipotent.
“If we are obsessed with the present conditions of our economy, we will not see the glorious and great future that God has already set before us. If we cannot see such a glorious future, then we will find it to walk confidently into it.
“God did not create us to punish us. He did not create us to languish on earth. He did not create us to be at war. Rather, God created us in His own image, for His glory and according to His divine will. As I always say, our past is a story already told. Yet, our future can be written in Gold,” Bamidele wrote.

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.

UK Ministry of Defence Faces Scandal Amid Surge in Assault Allegations
In an alarming revelation, a female civil servant at the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has come forward reporting three separate incidents of sexual assault by male colleagues. This has raised serious questions about a reportedly ‘hostile’ and ‘toxic’ workplace culture towards women. The woman sought help from the Prospect, a trade union, after feeling that the MoD did not adequately address her concerns.
Unaddressed Sexual Assault Allegations
This report follows a joint letter drafted by approximately 60 senior women at the MoD to the permanent secretary, David Williams, in October. The letter enumerated experiences of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse by male colleagues. The civil servant’s testimonies include being groped at a social work event, enduring unwanted physical contact from a colleague while overseas, and being followed and forcefully kissed by another colleague at a conference.
Despite formal complaints, the MoD’s responses have been criticized as lacking, with the accused not being suspended during the investigation. Prospect has urged the MoD to take serious action against such behaviors and to establish better systems for managing bullying and sexual harassment.
Call for Action
A spokesperson for the MoD has stated that they are committed to eradicating such behavior and strongly encourage the reporting of any similar incidents. However, with sexual assault allegations mounting, it’s clear that the MoD has a long way to go in creating a safe and respectful workplace environment.
In a parallel development, Grammy-award-winning artist and US television star Paula Abdul has filed a lawsuit in California accusing ‘American Idol’ producer Nigel Lythgoe of sexual assault. Abdul alleged that Lythgoe sexually assaulted her twice, including an incident in a hotel elevator and at his house. She also alleged pay discrimination and constant taunts, bullying, humiliation, and harassment from several executives on the show. Lythgoe has denied the accusations.

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.

JAIPUR: Sixteen days after assuming office, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma formed his cabinet on Saturday with the swearing-in of 22 ministers, 10 of whom come from OBC communities. Governor Kalraj Mishra administered the oath of office and secrecy to the 22 ministers at a ceremony at Raj Bhavan.
Sawai Madhopur MLA Kirori Lal Meena, Jhotwara MLA Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, and Ramganj Mandi MLA Madan Dilawar were among those who were sworn in.
The council of ministers, which now has total 25 members, has only two women-deputy chief minister Diya Kumari and Jayal MLA Dr Manju Baghmar-and no Muslim. Dr Baghmar was sworn in as a Minister of State (MoS). Several communities expressed their displeasure over the configuration of the cabinet immediately afterwards.
In a surprise move that instantly sparked a controversy, the BJP candidate for the upcoming poll for Karanpur assembly seat in Sriganganagar district, Surendra Pal Singh TT, a Jat Sikh (OBC), was sworn in as a junior minister with independent charge. Polling for Karanpur was postponed due to the death of the Congress candidate there, and for the seat is scheduled for January 5. The result will be announced on January 8.
Congress termed TT's inclusion as a minister as a violation of the model code of conduct for the upcoming election, but BJP rebuffed the charge. Former CM Ashok Gehlot protested the move, saying it in a post on X that "taking such unconstitutional steps is unfortunate in a democracy".
Of the 22 ministers sworn in on Saturday, 12 were given cabinet berths, five ministers of state (MoS) with independent charge, and five MoS status. As per rules, the state can have a total of 30 ministers, including the CM. The tally has now reached 25, including the CM and his two deputies - Diya Kumari and Prem Chand Bairwa - who had taken oath together on December 15.
The much-hyped religious leaders, including Tijara MLA Baba Balak Nath, who was even projected as the CM face during the election campaign and even after the results, did not find a berth in the council of ministers as BJP relied on former minister. Sirohi MLA Ota Ram Dewasi is the only religious leader among the ministers.
The council of ministers, however, did not make space for some of the senior BJP legislators who had served as ministers in the previous Vasundhara Raje government in either one or both of her terms (2003-2008 and 2013-2018). They included eight-term MLA Kalicharan Saraf (Malviya Nagar), seven-term MLA Pratap Singh Singhvi (Chabbra), six-term MLA Bali Pushpendra Singh Ranawat (Bali) and five-term MLA Anita Bhadel (Ajmer South).
The Congress has termed the oath-taking of BJP candidate Surendra Pal Singh TT from the poll-bound Karanpur assembly seat as a gross violation of the election Model Code of Conduct (MCC) on Saturday.
The Bhajan Lal Sharma government surprised everyone by including TT in the list of 22 ministers who took oath at the governor's house on Saturday. The polling will be held on January 5. The election for the seat was suspended following the death of Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Kooner whose son has now been made the party candidate there.
State Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra said, "The party in power has defied the MCC by administering the oath of office to BJP candidate from Karanpur. The act is meant to influence the voters as voting is scheduled for January 5. The Congress party will file a complaint with the Election Commission against the violation." In defence of the move, former leader of Opposition Rajendra Singh Rathore wrote on X, "Under the provisions contained in Article 164 (4) of the Constitution, a person is allowed to hold the post of minister for six months without being elected. It means that any person can be administered the oath of office by his excellency, the governor, on the advice of the chief minister. Following the oath, it is necessary for him to be elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly within six months. How does the oath taken by Karanpur candidate flout any norm?"
Reacting to Rathore's statement, former Sirohi MLA Sanyam Lodha wrote, "I am presenting Part D of point number 32 of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) issued by the Election Commission of India for the guidance of political parties and candidates for your (Rathore's) perusal. It is clearly written that an appointment made in the government to influence the voters in favour of the ruling party will be a violation of the Model Code of Conduct."
The decision to elevate TT, who is contesting from Karanpur constituency, to a ministerial position has raised several eyebrows.
Sources suggest that the move aims to send a clear message to voters that the constituency would have representation in council of minister if the BJP candidate wins. The tight contest intensifies with Rupinder Singh Kooner, son of the deceased Congress candidate who was sitting MLA, expected to receive sympathy.

South Dakota State ends game on 14-2 run to put UND away
Dec. 31—BROOKINGS, S.D. — A 14-2 run to close the game gave South Dakota State the win running away from UND on Sunday afternoon at Frost Arena.
The Fighting Hawks dropped to 0-2 in Summit League play with an 80-61 defeat on New Year's Eve.
UND trailed by seven after a Tsotne Tsartsidze basket made it 66-59 with 4 minutes, 36 seconds remaining.
But one free throw each from Tyree Ihenacho and B.J. Omot would be the only offense the rest of the way for the Hawks, who lost in lopsided fashion at home to St. Thomas in the Summit League opener.
The Jacks were led by Zeke Mayo's 25 points and 20 points from William Kyle III. Luke Appel added 10 points.
UND landed three players in double figured, led by Ihenacho and Tsartsidze (16 each). Eli King chipped in 11 points before fouling out.
UND struggled from 3-point range in the second half. The Hawks were 1-for-15 from deep in the second half.
One of UND's top 3-point shooters, Treysen Eaglestaff, was 1-for-9 from 3-point range and 2-for-13 from the field to finish with six points.
Omot ended with nine points and was 2-for-7 from 3-point range.
UND started hot, taking a 10-point lead when Eaglestaff hit a free throw for an 18-8 lead but the Jacks whittled the advantage to a tie game at 28-28. Matt Mims then scored on a fast break to give the Jacks the lead it wouldn't surrender.
SDSU led 36-33 at halftime.
The Jacks had the advantage at points in the paint 44-20 and fastbreak points 10-2.
UND will now take part in the Summit League-Big Sky Challenge. The Hawks hosts Northern Colorado on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center before visiting Northern Arizona on Jan. 6 at 2 p.m.
UND will restart conference play on the road at Omaha on Jan. 11.
The Hawks, who have dropped three straight, are no 8-7 overall and 2-5 on the road.

2024 Ushered Globally Amid Celebrations, Tensions and Scientific Advancements
As 2023 bowed out, New Zealand’s Auckland was the first major city to usher in 2024, lighting up the night sky with a resplendent display of fireworks over the iconic Sky Tower. This spectacle was quickly echoed across the globe from the Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan, where the theme ‘Colourful World’ symbolized a hopeful return to normal life post-pandemic, to the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia, which served as the focal point of the famous midnight fireworks and light show.
Global Celebrations Amid Tensions
In a world still grappling with conflicts and heightened tensions, the New Year’s Eve celebrations were a blend of joy and caution. In New York, officials geared up to welcome crowds of revelers in Times Square and ensure their safety. France had 90,000 law enforcement officers on standby for added security, and the sale of alcohol was prohibited on and around the Champs Elysees. However, the shadow of Russia’s military actions in Ukraine loomed over the festive mood, casting a pall on end-of-year celebrations.
Russia’s Claim on Missile Strikes in Ukraine
In a sobering development amid the festive fervor, twin missile strikes struck the central region of Kharkiv in Ukraine, resulting in over 20 injuries. Russia’s representative to the United Nations pointed to misfiring Ukrainian anti-air missiles as the cause of the damage to residential buildings in a recent missile attack, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Progress in Science and Technology
In the realm of science and technology, Interstellar Labs, a Paris and Los Angeles-based biotech company, is making strides in the development of a controlled-environment plant-growing capsule. This technological marvel, once realized, could be a game-changer for future Mars missions. Concurrently, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is working tirelessly to create strains of climate-resistant rice. This scientific advancement aims to combat the adverse impacts of climate change, reflecting humanity’s enduring dance with mortality.

JAIPUR: Deputy mayor and chairman of Jaipur Municipal Corporation (Greater) have started campaigning to reunite the two bifurcated municipal corporations of Jaipur. They are going to submit a deputation signed by the councillors to the minister of the Local Self Government, once chosen.
"Solely to gain political benefits the Congress government had decided to bifurcate the Municipal Corporations.
We want to make it a single corporation once again. As soon as we get a minister for the Local Self-Government Department, we are going to take up the issue and submit a memorandum," deputy mayor Puneet Karnawat, told TOI at the sidelines of a Saghan Swacchata Abhijan held at the City Park in Mansarovar on Saturday.
The deputy mayor stated that not only for Jaipur the BJP government should also try and join the bifurcated corporations of Kota and Jodhpur as well.
"There are several advantages for a city to have two different municipal corporations. The biggest being the proper allocation of funds. It was a promise of BJP to unite these two corporations, if voted to power. The procedures should get started at the earliest as the two corporations would go for polls later this year," said Arun Sharma, the chairman of the municipal corporation.
Keeping in view, the All India DGP and IGPs Programme in Jaipur from January 5 to January 7 - in which Prime Minister's Narendra Modi is also expected to attend - the JMC Greater had kick started the cleanliness drive from December 30 to January 7.
Interestingly, the JMC Heritage had also organized a similar function at Ramlila Ground on MI Road on Saturday morning that was being attended only by the BJP councillors.

John Mueller, Google Search Advocate, recently shared his “shower” thoughts on the use of AI-generated images on websites versus stock photography.
His discussion opened up an intriguing debate on how users perceive images created with generative AI tools like DALL·E, especially in contexts that are not primarily focused on art or AI.
The post included a disclaimer it is not meant to serve as SEO advice or foreshadowing of an upcoming Google search update.
AI-Generated Images Vs. Stock Photography
Mueller begins by distinguishing between situations where a specific photograph is necessary and those where imagery serves as mere decoration.
He argues that in some circumstances, like a suitcase a website aims to sell, authentic photographs are essential.
While real photos might undergo digital enhancements or editing, the foundation of product photography must be rooted in reality to provide consumers with an accurate representation of a future investment.
On the other hand, Mueller points out that for general content embellishment, there is little difference between using stock photography and AI-generated images.
Both types of imagery can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a website, making the content more engaging and enjoyable for the reader.
This distinction underlines that the decision to use real photos versus AI-generated images largely depends on the specific needs and goals of the website content.
The Value Of Images For User Experience
Mueller also touches upon the relevance of the subject matter of the website.
He suggests that for certain topics, audiences expect real images, while for others, the distinction between real and AI-generated images may be negligible.
This expectation ties into search engine optimization (SEO), as Mueller hypothesizes that users are more inclined to search visually for topics where real images are valued.
Further, Mueller offers practical advice for website owners considering the use of AI-generated images.
He encourages them to reflect on whether they would typically use stock photography in the same context. This approach can help in making an informed decision about the appropriateness of AI-generated images for their website.
Quality Standards Of AI-Generated Images
Mueller also cautions about the ease and temptation of using AI-generated images as a time and cost-saving measure.
He notes that taking a quick photo with a phone could be considered as creating ‘stock photography,’ but this might not meet the professional standards expected on a business website.
He emphasizes that quality and professionalism often require time and experience.
AI Images, AR Models, And Consumer Trust
Throughout the comments, Mueller answered questions about images, AI, and SEO. Here are some of the best responses.
Should you add rel=nofollow for an image credit link?
“Links are fine. No need to use rel=nofollow if they’re normal links.”
AR For 3D Modeling
Mueller expressed a desire for augmented reality (AR) support in online product displays, emphasizing the value of using 3D models.
“Seeing a photo is a good start, trying it out in my own space is so much better.”
He also differentiated between 3D-rendered images based on actual building plans and fully AI-generated images, likening the latter to decorative blog post imagery.
Decorative Images & Real Product Photography
Regarding conceptual illustrations, Mueller noted that decorative images indicated the level of effort put into the content, enhancing user trust.
However, he criticizes the use of AI images for product photos, comparing it to low-quality imported product sites where photoshopped images often lead to unrealistic representations.
“…if you have the product, why not get real photos, and if you don’t have the product, you wouldn’t be able to confirm that the image is ok.”
AI-Generated Images As ‘Low-Effort’ Content
Considering that creative visualizations and real product photos are considered indicators of high-quality content, it’s no surprise that some uses of AI-generated images could be considered the opposite.
Mueller also offered another perspective: if real images represent an original source of content, AI images could represent scraped content.
“If I noticed a recipe site were using AI-generated images, I’d assume all of the content is scraped spam and just go somewhere else.”
AI Content Decreases Consumer Trust
When visitors discover content has been “faked,” it could harm their trust in anything else on the website. Mueller suggested that even an obvious “team” stock photo was less deceptive than one created by AI.
He acknowledged the value of good stock photography over a unique smartphone photo and how the latter did not equal professional-quality content.
But he is also aware that the lines are blurred more now that companies like Getty and Shutterstock have launched AI tools trained on licensed stock photography.
Conclusion
The discussion on Mueller’s LinkedIn post is particularly relevant, highlighting the evolving role of AI tools in content creation and its impact on user experience and SEO.
As marketers continually adapt to new technologies, understanding these nuances is crucial for effective digital marketing strategies. It prompts us to consider the authenticity of our visual content and its alignment with our audience’s expectations.
It’s essential to strike a balance between authenticity, professionalism, and the practical benefits of AI-generated images, keeping in mind the nature of the content and audience expectations.

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

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.

According to KUSA, the children’s father, Kevin Wentz, identified the deceased children as Aden Wentz, 7; and Elianna “Ellie” Wentz, 9.

Twitter reacts to Commanders’ loss to 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers clinched the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC playoffs and home-field advantage through the playoffs with a 27-10 win over the Washington Commanders.
For Washington, the loss moved the Commanders one spot closer to potentially drafting a new franchise quarterback in 2024. Speaking of quarterbacks, Sam Howell was back in the starting lineup after being benched earlier in the week. However, Jacoby Brissett missed the game due to a hamstring injury.
Howell played well in the first half but suffered through another brutal second half, throwing two interceptions, the first of which occurred at the San Francisco five-yard line with the Commanders down only 10 points.
Chase Young also returned to FedEx Field, finishing with just one tackle. Washington also moves one step closer to a new regime with only one game remaining in the 2023 season.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Washington’s loss to San Francisco.
2024 NFL draft
#Commanders vs. #DallasCowboys in Week 18 sets up as the biggest must-lose game in Washington history. The No. 2-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft is right there. Come on guys, you've lost so often and in such spectacular fashion. Just one more. #TakeCommand

JAIPUR: With the revival of northerly winds, mercury took a dip across the state on Saturday. Sikar remained coldest in the state with a minimum temperature of 6.0° Celsius. In the afternoon, cloudy conditions prevailed in Jaipur and other parts as Mavath (rain that comes during last week of December to first week of January) is expected.
Attributing the climatic conditions to the northerly winds, the Met office said that from Monday, mercury is likely to take a dip and mainly clear sky would be witnessed, leading to cold wave conditions.
Foggy conditions were also witnessed at Bharatpur, Alwar and Karauli in the morning that affected the road traffic on the state and national highways.
People in Jaipur woke up to the coldest morning of the season, so far, as a minimum temperature of 7.7° Celsius was recorded. Also fog and mist was present in the morning in and around Jaipur. A maximum temperature of 22.3° Celsius was witnessed in the afternoon. However fog was comparatively lesser and did not impact air, road and rail traffic much.
On the other hand, some places also witnessed a rise in the maximum and minimum temperatures.
The Met office said that during the first week of January there is a possibility of Mavath. “Mavath is the rainfall that comes between last week of December and first week of January and it is considered as beneficial for the crops,” said an officer with the Met office. In its forecast, the Met office said that many districts may witness foggy conditions.

In a recent discussion on Reddit, a user inquired about the advantages of using keyword domain names for SEO to improve visibility for a specific phrase.
The user shared an example of utilizing a domain like “swimsuits.com” for selling swimsuits, a keyword with over 10,000 monthly searches in their country.
John Mueller, Google’s Search Advocate, offered a response that should help marketers decide on the best approach for SEO.
Are Keywords In Domain Names A Ranking Factor?
The big question: do relevant keywords in a domain name offer additional advantages in Google Search?
Mueller’s response was direct and insightful. He advised against relying on keywords in domain names for long-term SEO strategy.
“A keyword domain name is not going to give you any recognizable SEO advantage on Google.”
The introductory if – “If you’re planning on using this [domain] for the long run” – suggests the advice does not apply to all website owners and that there could be short-term value in keyword-based domain names.
Omnichannel Brand Recognition & Versatility
For those with long-term marketing goals, domain names focused on a specific keyword or phrase could become a hindrance.
According to Mueller, such domain names can also be restrictive for targeting other keywords, making it difficult to diversify product or service offerings on the same website.
Mueller’s advice sheds light on the evolving nature of omnichannel marketing marketing. It highlights the importance of building a strong, recognizable brand for search and other platforms to connect with customers.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Mueller’s insights are valuable for marketing and SEO professionals polishing up their strategy for 2024. It encourages a shift in focus from relying on keywords to developing a comprehensive, brand-focused online presence.
This strategy aligns with the current SEO trends, where brand recognition and quality content play a significant role in achieving SEO success.

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

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Two people have been indicted in Fulton County on charges related to the trafficking of two underage girls.
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said Denorris Hutchinson, 35, of East Point, and Natasha Bridge, 35, of East Point, have been charged with trafficking of persons for sexual servitude.
In 2020, a 17-year-old girl who had been reported missing from Kansas City, Missouri, was located at a hotel in Fulton County during “Operation Not Forgotten”.

After her recovery, the Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit began an investigation to identify anyone involved with her trafficking.
Since the first victim’s recovery, 13 people have been charged for their alleged involvement in the case.
Their investigation determined Hutchinson and Bridges had harbored, transported, and provided the girl for commercial sex.
During their investigation, the unit was able to identify a second underage girl whom Hutchinson is also alleged to have trafficked.
The Attorney General’s Office says Hutchinson profited from the sale of both the 17-year-old and 15-year-old victims.

The Clayton County Police Department assisted in arresting Hutchinson on Oct. 11, 2023, and Bridges on Oct. 26, 2023.
“Ten men are already in prison for their involvement in the trafficking of this 17-year-old girl, but our work doesn’t stop there,” said Carr. “Since her recovery three years ago, we have continued to pour over every lead to identify any additional buyers and sellers. Now we have not only brought a new case, but we have also located a second underage victim, and we will keep fighting to ensure that justice is served.”
“Operation Not Forgotten” is a joint operation between multiple agencies across Georgia aimed at recovering critically endangered missing children.

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

The Carolina Panthers have had a terrible, terrible season from hell, and it only hit a new low on Sunday.
Scoring zero points in a 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars — who were starting backup quarterback C.J. Beathard — as Bryce Young’s brutal rookie season comes to a near-close wasn’t even the worst part of the day.
Averaging 2.3 yards per play and not crossing 100 total yards until the fourth quarter wasn’t the lowest point of the day for the Panthers.
No, in a moment of what can (at best) be described as a brief loss of control, Panthers team owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink at an unruly Jaguars fan who was in front of him toward the end of the game. Tepper's Panthers have been unequivocally the worst team in the league this year, but there is simply no excuse for this behavior in the middle of tough times — particularly from his perch as the owner of a NFL team.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the NFL said in a statement, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers themselves, meanwhile, still haven't commented.
This is just flat-out a rotten way to behave. Fights have been ignited over throwing drinks on people. It’s one of the most disrespectful, non-physical things a human can do to another human. Alcohol with backwash all over a t-shirt or an expensive jersey ain’t cool, man. Especially amid the power dynamics of Tepper not just being a team owner, but one of the singularly richest people in the entire world.
Tepper might as well be an anonymous person on the internet in that scenario. He’s completely untouchable as a person of his financial and social stature. He would never suffer a real punishment for behaving in this fashion because there is nothing that the person who got the drink poured on him can do. It’s an abuse of power as much as it is just a lame thing to do.
To take it a step further, if this is how Tepper is acting in public, it's easy to see why the Panthers have had so many head coaches in the brief time that Tepper has owned the team. It was an illogical, rushed, emotional response that puts him and his decision making under further scrutiny and gives partial context as to why the Panthers have been so dysfunctional over the past few years. A rotating door of head coaches and their interim replacements, musical chairs at quarterback, trading up for Young when the roster clearly wasn't ready to support a rookie quarterback — and now, this unruly moment that has been caught on camera.
Panthers fans are already (kind of) joking about whether or not this moment can be used to strip Tepper of his ownership. That isn’t going to happen. It takes a lot more than that for someone to lose their team, but it does paint the picture of where this team is.
The Panthers are just 31-67 since Tepper took over in 2018 and he’s about to hire his third full-time head coach in that timespan with a roster that doesn’t appear anywhere close to competing, even in the dismal NFC South.
At some point Tepper is going to have to stumble into success by mistake, even with his rash and hasty decision-making.
The part here that resonates beyond football is that everyone knows Tepper won’t or can’t face real discipline through this due to the power he holds. When you’re this wealthy in America, this is sadly one of the perks afforded to you.
The only hope here is that Tepper can see this as a moment of weakness and hopefully make changes for himself that will make the Panthers a respected franchise again. It simply doesn’t have to be like this.

Ukraine Harnesses Terrain and Ingenuity to Slow Russian Advance
In the throes of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian forces have strategically employed anti-tank defenses such as ‘dragon’s teeth’ and ‘tank ditches’. These structures are ingeniously designed to halt or slow down the advance of Russian tanks and armored vehicles, reflecting the resilience of the Ukrainian military.
‘Dragon’s Teeth’: A Concrete Deterrent
‘Dragon’s teeth’ are pyramid-shaped concrete obstacles, typically arranged in rows and reinforced with metal or other materials to increase their durability. These structures are strategically positioned to impede the movement of tanks and other tracked vehicles, serving as the first line of defense against the advancing Russian forces.
‘Tank Ditches’: Terrain as a Defense
Another form of defense employed by the Ukrainians is the ‘tank ditches’. These are large trenches that prove challenging for vehicles to traverse without proper bridging equipment. By leveraging the terrain and engineered obstacles, Ukraine aims to slow the progress of the invading forces, turning the geographical features into their advantage.
Adapting to Conflict: The Ukrainian Resilience
The use of such defenses is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Ukrainian military in the face of a larger and technologically advanced adversary. As the conflict rages on, both sides continue to adapt their tactics and strategies to gain the upper hand. The Ukrainian forces, however, have managed to inflict significant losses on the Russian troops despite their resource constraints, thanks to their innovative defensive measures and the support they received from their allies.

Vehicle restriction issued for Upper Red Lake due to poor ice conditions
Dec. 31—BELTRAMI COUNTY, Minn. — Due to continued incidents of anglers
becoming stranded on
and
breaking through the ice
on Upper Red Lake, effective at sunset on Saturday, Dec. 30, vehicles will not be permitted to access the lake in the area under Beltrami County's jurisdiction.
According to a release from Beltrami County Sheriff Jason Riggs, per Minnesota Statute 86B.106, vehicles are barred from driving on Upper Red Lake until the sheriff rescinds this order.
"Snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and all motorized vehicles are prohibited from going on the ice," the release said. "A violation of this order is a misdemeanor under Minnesota Statute. If convicted, fines, penalties and restitution may be sought by Beltrami County."
Riggs has been in contact with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Commissioner and director of the Department of Natural Resources Enforcement Division Colonel Rod Smith regarding this situation, the release continued.
County officials will monitor the ice conditions and the restriction will be lifted when the ice is safe for vehicles.
"After several days of rain and above-freezing temperatures, ice conditions have deteriorated," the release said. "Area lakes have very inconsistent ice conditions and extreme caution should be employed if you choose to venture on area lakes. Check the ice thickness frequently, do not drive vehicles on the ice and check with area resorts and bait shops regarding ice conditions before going on the ice."

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.”

JAIPUR: From the new year onwards, details of the complete investigation and action taken report for every case registered in a police station of
Rajasthan will have to be uploaded on the CCTNS (Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems) portal, the director general of police (DGP) has ordered.
The state government had started the portal in 2017 to enhance transparency, but in most police stations only the FIRs were being uploaded, with no information on the investigation and the case status.
Strict orders have now been issued to heads of all police stations to upload investigation report of every type of case on the portal. These reports can be presented in court as well. A police official said that instructions were issued in 2019 to upload FIRs from every police station on the portal. "Along with this, instructions were given to upload witness statements, property seizure details, case diaries, investigations conducted in cases, and all other relevant details. Despite these orders, most police stations are only registering FIRs on the portal. Consequently, the administration is failing to maintain all the records, leading to the issuance of new orders in this regard."
According to the orders, every investigation officer will have to upload daily proceedings on this portal by maintaining a case diary, eliminating the need for manual files when cases are examined by higher-level officers. Additionally, any orders issued at the level of superintendent of police will be communicated through the portal.

Tens of thousands of revellers started 2024 with a bang as fireworks and drones lit up the sky over London and told the world the city is “A Place for Everyone”.
After the bongs of Big Ben sounded midnight, “London: A Place for Everyone” was written high above the crowds as the unity-themed display welcomed the new year.
In a display that lasted almost 15 minutes, 100,000 people cast their eyes to the sky to take in the firework, laser, and drone spectacular.
As hits by the Spice Girls, Calvin Harris, Dua Lupa and others rang out across the city, revellers were invited to look back on 2023.
The celebration referenced the King’s coronation and also used Charles’ quote to mark the 75th anniversary of the Windrush crossing in which he said the new arrivals “collectively enrich the fabric of our national life”.
The display – which included more than 12,000 fireworks, 600 drones and 430 lights – also paid homage to the NHS, which celebrated 75 years in 2023.
There were repeated references to London’s diversity and inclusivity, with the capital telling the world everyone is welcome in a city where people can be themselves.
Further messages throughout the pyrotechnic show were heard from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, Dame Helen Mirren, Bella Ramsey, Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley, George the Poet, and Baroness Floella Benjamin, who read a poem by the late Benjamin Zephaniah.
The show was organised by the Mayor of London who said it was London’s “best and biggest ever” New Year celebration.
Mr Khan added: “Our unique combination of fireworks, drones, lighting and music have put on a fabulous show for the millions watching around the globe, sending a message of unity and showing why London is the greatest city in the world.
“2023 was filled with so many special moments, and as we move into 2024, I feel more inspired than ever to continue our work towards building a better, greener and more prosperous city for everyone.”

The Carolina Panthers have had a terrible, terrible season from hell, and it only hit a new low on Sunday.
Scoring zero points in a 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars — who were starting backup quarterback C.J. Beathard — as Bryce Young’s brutal rookie season comes to a near-close wasn’t even the worst part of the day.
Averaging 2.3 yards per play and not crossing 100 total yards until the fourth quarter wasn’t the lowest point of the day for the Panthers.
No, in a moment of what can (at best) be described as a brief loss of control, Panthers team owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink at an unruly Jaguars fan who was in front of him toward the end of the game. Tepper's Panthers have been unequivocally the worst team in the league this year, but there is simply no excuse for this behavior in the middle of tough times — particularly from his perch as the owner of a NFL team.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the NFL said in a statement, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers themselves, meanwhile, still haven't commented.
This is just flat-out a rotten way to behave. Fights have been ignited over throwing drinks on people. It’s one of the most disrespectful, non-physical things a human can do to another human. Alcohol with backwash all over a t-shirt or an expensive jersey ain’t cool, man. Especially amid the power dynamics of Tepper not just being a team owner, but one of the singularly richest people in the entire world.
Tepper might as well be an anonymous person on the internet in that scenario. He’s completely untouchable as a person of his financial and social stature. He would never suffer a real punishment for behaving in this fashion because there is nothing that the person who got the drink poured on him can do. It’s an abuse of power as much as it is just a lame thing to do.
To take it a step further, if this is how Tepper is acting in public, it's easy to see why the Panthers have had so many head coaches in the brief time that Tepper has owned the team. It was an illogical, rushed, emotional response that puts him and his decision making under further scrutiny and gives partial context as to why the Panthers have been so dysfunctional over the past few years. A rotating door of head coaches and their interim replacements, musical chairs at quarterback, trading up for Young when the roster clearly wasn't ready to support a rookie quarterback — and now, this unruly moment that has been caught on camera.
Panthers fans are already (kind of) joking about whether or not this moment can be used to strip Tepper of his ownership. That isn’t going to happen. It takes a lot more than that for someone to lose their team, but it does paint the picture of where this team is.
The Panthers are just 31-67 since Tepper took over in 2018 and he’s about to hire his third full-time head coach in that timespan with a roster that doesn’t appear anywhere close to competing, even in the dismal NFC South.
At some point Tepper is going to have to stumble into success by mistake, even with his rash and hasty decision-making.
The part here that resonates beyond football is that everyone knows Tepper won’t or can’t face real discipline through this due to the power he holds. When you’re this wealthy in America, this is sadly one of the perks afforded to you.
The only hope here is that Tepper can see this as a moment of weakness and hopefully make changes for himself that will make the Panthers a respected franchise again. It simply doesn’t have to be like this.

CeeDee Lamb Had Perfect Four-Word Response to NFL Drug Testing Him After Record-Breaking Game vs. Lions
Much like he is for his quarterback Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was an easy target for the NFL.
Lamb dominated the Detroit Lions defense in a record-setting effort that saw him rack up 13 receptions for a career-high 227 receiving yards and a touchdown en route to the 20—19 victory on Saturday night.
Not only was it arguably the best game of Lamb's career, but the monster night capped off an incredible campaign for the Dallas wideout, who broke the franchise's single-season record for receptions and receiving yards, both marks previously held by Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin.
Immediately after his huge game on national television, the NFL issued him a drug test. Lamb had the perfect reaction, screenshotting a photo of the drug test and saying, "Waste no time huh?"

— PFF (@PFF) December 31, 2023
Clearly, there is nothing random about the NFL"s "random" drug tests, as they couldn't even wait a day to make sure Lamb wasn't using performance-enhancers after his 227-yard outburst.

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.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — (AP) — After lithium-ion batteries burned in a large cargo ship's hold for a number of days, the U.S. Coast Guard said late Saturday that the fire was out and directed the ship to anchor near Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
The 19 crew members of the ship, Genius Star XI, were uninjured and technicians from the Salvage and Marine Firefighting team remain onboard to ensure the fire doesn't return, according to a Coast Guard press release.
“This protected anchorage ... will allow the vessel to remain stable, minimizing risk of any re-flash of the fire as we continue our response," Capt. Chris Culpepper said in the press release, which said an investigation into the fire's origins will begin once response efforts wrap up.
Genius Star XI was shipping lithium-ion batteries from Vietnam to San Diego. The crew alerted the Coast Guard early Thursday morning to the fire, after pumping carbon dioxide into hold No. 1 — where the blaze began — and sealing it, fearing an explosion.
The Coast Guard diverted the 410-foot (125-meter) cargo ship to Dutch Harbor, one of the nation’s busiest fishing ports located in Unalaska, an Aleutian Islands community about 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
Arriving Friday, Genius Star XI was kept 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from shore to mitigate the risks of toxic gases produced by the fire to the community and environment while responders worked to extinguish the flames, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said in an email to The Associated Press.
There have been no oil leaks associated with the fire, according to the ship's owners, Wisdom Marine Group.

Infuse Your Lemonade With Fresh Herbs For A Bolder Drink
Lemonade may be a fresh and delicious drink all by itself, but it also has the benefit of being easily customizable. The tartness of lemon is a perfect pairing with many fruit flavors and helps balance out their sweetness. Strawberry, mango, and blueberry lemonades are all classic combinations that line store shelves but that's only scratching the surface of tasty pairings.
Some of the best versions are a little more subtle on their own, but deliver bold flavor when combined with herbs. Lemon and all kinds of fresh herbs are a classic pair in savory dishes, but ingredients like rosemary and basil can transform lemonade too. Unlike other flavors which can have their own sugar, they won't make your lemonade cloyingly sweet.
The citrus brings out extra flavor in the herbs as well, so just a handful can go a long way in adding more complexity to your drink. The world of herbs is full of unique tasting profiles, with the ability to add not just earthy notes, but peppery, piney, and even spicy flavors.

Which Types Of Herbs Pair Best With Lemonade
As for which herbs work best with lemonade, that's up to you. A few sprigs of rosemary or mint are all you need to make an incredible-tasting drink. Make sure you muddle the herbs first, as that will help activate their oils and increase the pungency. Next, mix your herbs with your lemonade and let it steep for 30 minutes to an hour. Then just strain out the herbs and drink.
If you're looking for a more earthy profile, try lemon verbena which doubles down on citrus while bringing a slightly sweet, grassy quality. For something a bit stronger, dried flowers like lavender and elderflower impart a complex flavor. However, if you're looking for a bit of heat, we suggest adding some thyme and ginger to your lemonade mix, which creates the perfect balance of spicy and sweet.
With this type of drink, fresh herbs truly give you endless possibilities.

Ukrainian Villagers Uphold Cultural Tradition amid Conflict
In the rural landscape of Ukraine, a spectacle unfolds that resonates deeply with the nation’s cultural fabric. Amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, the residents of Velyka Dymerka, a village located 18 miles from Kyiv, have taken to the streets clad in traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirts and sheepskin hats. Their mission is twofold: to serenade the capital and raise funds for their national army, all while upholding a centuries-old tradition with pagan roots.
Tradition as a Symbol of Resilience
The central figure in these festivities is a youth dressed in a goat costume, paraded through the town as a symbol of good fortune for the new year. This tradition, resuscitated amid the fiery trials of war, took place in the aftermath of the largest Russian missile attack of the war. It served as a vivid testament to the Ukrainian community’s determination to preserve their heritage and bolster their defense.
The Role of the Goat
Among the villagers, Lyudmila Kornyenko stands out for her strong belief in the importance of the goat’s appearance and its role in ushering in luck. The goat, often seen as a humble creature, takes on a pivotal role in these festivities, embodying the people’s hopes and aspirations for peace and prosperity.
More than a Fundraising Effort
While the event is a fundraising initiative for the Ukrainian army, it also serves a deeper purpose. It is a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of adversity. In the shadow of war, they continue to celebrate their cultural identity, passing on their rich traditions to future generations.
Amid the cacophony of conflict, stories of human endurance and hope emerge. The villagers of Velyka Dymerka are not just spectators in the unfolding drama of war. They are active participants, showcasing their resilience through the preservation of their cultural heritage. As the new year dawns, their goat-centric tradition stands as a beacon of hope, an affirmation of life amidst the chaos of war.

JAIPUR: Most of the tourist spots in the city saw heavy rush on Saturday as tourists preferred the pink city to celebrate the weekend before the New Year. Long queues of tourists were seen at ticket windows of monuments and other tourist spots. Walled City roads remained chock-a-block with traffic throughout the day. Foreign tourists were seen at Jal Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Nahargarh and Jaigarh forts and other spots in the city.
The road connecting Nahargarh and Jaigarh forts was full of tourist buses and at a few curves, traffic cops were trying to manage the jam-like situation. “We have not seen this kind of rush ever before. The vehicles had to be parked away from the designated parking lots. People are in long queues for the tickets,” said Parvat Singh, an employee at the parking lot of Nahargarh Fort.
Tourists from almost every part of the country and abroad were seen at the monuments. “For the past few years we were confined to homes and this time we wanted everyone to come with us,” said Balaji Subrahmaniyam, a 60-year-old man from Chennai who was seen with his wife, two sons and two daughters-in-law and a few grandchildren at Jaigarh Fort.

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

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — (AP) — After lithium-ion batteries burned in a large cargo ship's hold for a number of days, the U.S. Coast Guard said late Saturday that the fire was out and directed the ship to anchor near Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
The 19 crew members of the ship, Genius Star XI, were uninjured and technicians from the Salvage and Marine Firefighting team remain onboard to ensure the fire doesn't return, according to a Coast Guard press release.
“This protected anchorage ... will allow the vessel to remain stable, minimizing risk of any re-flash of the fire as we continue our response," Capt. Chris Culpepper said in the press release, which said an investigation into the fire's origins will begin once response efforts wrap up.
Genius Star XI was shipping lithium-ion batteries from Vietnam to San Diego. The crew alerted the Coast Guard early Thursday morning to the fire, after pumping carbon dioxide into hold No. 1 — where the blaze began — and sealing it, fearing an explosion.
The Coast Guard diverted the 410-foot (125-meter) cargo ship to Dutch Harbor, one of the nation’s busiest fishing ports located in Unalaska, an Aleutian Islands community about 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
Arriving Friday, Genius Star XI was kept 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from shore to mitigate the risks of toxic gases produced by the fire to the community and environment while responders worked to extinguish the flames, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said in an email to The Associated Press.
There have been no oil leaks associated with the fire, according to the ship's owners, Wisdom Marine Group.

Costco is about to make a huge change
Costco makes changes at glacial speeds. The warehouse club rarely innovates because it doesn't need to.
Its members aren't paying for cutting-edge technology. The company's customers don't need grab-and-go technology, robots taking inventory, or any other bells and whistles. They simply want really low prices from a company putting all its resources into delivering the best value possible.
That's something Costco (COST) - Get Free Report has succeeded at. The company has been a port in the storm during the covid pandemic and the period of inflation that followed it.
Related: Essential service provider shares Chapter 11 bankruptcy fate
At a time when many people were worried about money, Costco stayed true to its mission. It made dramatic moves, like operating its own shipping fleet to continue to offer members the values they expected.
The warehouse club still offers a no-frills shopping experience. While rivals including Target, Walmart, and Amazon have invested billions in digital order fulfillment, Costco has kept its online offering limited but does offer same-day delivery through its partnership with Instacart.
That's a fairly brilliant solution where Costco's members get same-day service, but the warehouse club does not have to spend any money to offer it. It's another example of the chain's slow and steady, members-first approach.
Now, as 2023 ends, the member-based chain has a huge move planned, but the chain should be able to pull it off seamlessly.
Costco about to have a new CEO
On New Year's Day, longtime Costco CEO Craig Jelinek will step down. He will be replaced by current President and CEO Ron Vachris. It's a move the company has been planning for quite some time.
"Craig and Ron have worked hand in hand over the last twenty-one months in Ron's role as president and for many years before that. This is the culmination of the long-standing succession plan that Craig has discussed with the board," Costco shared in a press release.
Vachris has worked at Costco for over 40 years. He literally started as a "forklift driver, and subsequently serving in every major role related to Costco's business operations and merchandising activities," according to the release.
Jelinek will stay on in an advisory role through April and plans to remain on Costco's board of directors.
Costco wants to be boring
CFO Richard Galanti addressed the CEO change during Costco's first-quarter earnings call.
"At the end of the day, the reality is we're staying the course. You know, I remember questions were asked 12-plus years ago when Craig became president, and two years later, Jim retired and Craig became CEO and president — you know, 'who can replace Jim?' and I think the same questions asked today 'who can replace Craig?' and it really is a seamless transition," the CFO shared.
He pointed out that both have had an incredible history with the company.
"You have somebody retiring that's been here 40-ish years and that's been in the business both on operations and merchandising for a successful number of years in both. And you've got Ron who's coming in, who started when he was 17 at a price club in Arizona, and he already has his 40-year gold patch, and again, 30-ish years in operations, a year in real estate traveling the world, and then seven, or six or seven, years in merchandising," he added.
Costco stock went on an impressive run in 2023 gaining about 45%. The company will also pay a special $15 dividend on January 12 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 28, 2023.

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

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.

NFL Star Jalen Hurts Hits the Field in Air Jordan 4 Cleats
All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Footwear News may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.
NFL star Jalen Hurts, once again, turned heads with his choice of Air Jordan cleats on Sunday.
More from Footwear News
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback — who is a Jordan Brand ambassador — laced up two different pairs of Air Jordan 4 cleats to face the Arizona Cardinals on the Lincoln Financial Center field in Philadelphia.
To start the game, Hurts wore a pair that resembled one of the hottest sneakers of 2023: the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Pine Green.” The cleat featured white leather uppers with hits of pine green throughout and neutral gray mudguards. Although the cleats aren’t available for purchase, the sneakers they were inspired by are on the resale market. For instance, StockX has them available for purchase now, with prices ranging from $344 to $752.
As for the second pair, Hurts wore an Air Jordan 4 cleat executed in the same colors. For this pair, however, the pine green was the predominant hue and the look featured hits of white throughout.
Jordan Brand announced it had signed Hurts via social media in August. Prior to the signing, the quarterback had worn Air Jordan cleats during a defining moment of his pro career.
In February, Hurts led his Eagles to Super Bowl 57 against the Kansas City Chiefs where he had one of the best games for a quarterback in NFL history. His three rushing touchdowns tied a Super Bowl record set by Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis in 1997, and he became the league’s first player ever to pass for 300 yards, run for 70 yards, complete 70 percent of his passes and rush for three touchdowns in a game.
During the game, Hurts had Jordan Brand footwear laced up — specifically, Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 11 cleats.

2023: A Year Illuminated by Acts of Kindness
As the curtain falls on 2023, a year punctuated by its own set of trials and triumphs, we bear witness to a tapestry of stories that underscore the importance of human connection and kindness. These stories, narrated through the actions of everyday people, span from a neighborhood in Texas to the sandy shores of Florida, reminding us that acts of kindness, no matter how small, can create ripples of change and positivity.
Shayden Walker: From a Lone Boy to a Global Inspiration
In Texas, 11-year-old Shayden Walker, diagnosed with autism, reached out to his neighbor in his quest for friendship. His heartfelt plea, captured in a TikTok video, resonated with viewers worldwide, propelling a successful GoFundMe campaign and bathing the young boy in a shower of global support.
Jacksen Proell’s Messages of Hope
Meanwhile, Jacksen Proell, a 13-year-old boy from Minnesota, embarked on a mission to remind people of their worth. Leaving uplifting messages on doorbell cameras, his act of kindness was immortalized and shared widely on TikTok, touching hearts and lifting spirits.
Eligha Bryant and the Simple Act of Helping
In Chicago, Eligha Bryant, an Amazon driver, found himself in the spotlight for an unexpected reason. When he helped a teenager tie his necktie, his simple act underscored the magnitude of generosity and was shared online, eliciting a wave of admiration.
Unprecedented Unity on Florida’s shores
On a sunny day in Florida, beachgoers banded together to rescue a stranded shark, embodying compassion for wildlife and demonstrating an unprecedented act of collective kindness.
Vernon Jackson: A Barber with a Big Heart
Back in Cincinnati, Barber Vernon Jackson generously offered his services for free to kids with special needs. His gesture was a testament to his generous spirit, leaving an indelible impact on the community.
Vince Eckelkamp: The Off-duty Hero
Meanwhile, amidst the raging Maui wildfires, off-duty pilot Vince Eckelkamp stepped up, volunteering to fly stranded passengers to safety. His bravery shone brightly, proving that heroism can manifest in times of crisis.
From a penguin featured in the Comedy Wildlife video contest to dolphins leading a lost whale and calf back to their migration route, from a legally blind son seeing his parents clearly for the first time to a 92-year-old man completing the 24-mile journey from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and even a Mustang mare making snow angels with her owner – 2023 has been a testament to the profound impact of small acts of kindness and the enduring power of community support.

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

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen’s Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack
BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. “We’re going to act in a self-defense going forward,” a White House official said.
In a series of statements, the U.S. Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea.
Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the U.S. Navy said.
Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou’s distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters.
“The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense,” sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the U.S. Central Command said. No harm to U.S. personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported.
The Houthis acknowledged that 10 of their fighters were killed in the confrontation and warned of consequences.
In Washington, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council sidestepped a question about the possibility of a preemptive strike against the Houthis to safeguard commercial shipping in the vital waterway.
“I won’t say what’s on or off the table right now,” John Kirby told ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding, “We’re going to do what we have to do to protect shipping.” He said the United States has “significant national security interests in the region” and “we’re going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests and we’re going to act in self-defense going forward.”
He said the U.S. has made it clear to the Houthis that “we take these threats seriously and we’re going to make the right decisions going forward.″
The events surrounding the Maersk Hangzhou represented the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since Nov. 19, the Central Command said. It was the first time the U.S. Navy said its personnel had killed Houthi fighters since the Red Sea attacks started.
For over a month, 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 the Israeli air-and-ground offensive in the Gaza Strip that was triggered by the Palestinian militant group Hamas’ Oct.7 attack in southern Israel.
However, the links to the ships targeted in the rebel assaults have grown more tenuous as the attacks continue.
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on President Joe Biden “to look at what actions need to be taken in Yemen to be able to prevent the Houthis to continue to put commercial and military vessels at risk.”
Noting Iran’s support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told ABC’s ``This Week” that the Biden administration should be more aggressive “in responding to escalation by Iran.’’
The Denmark-based shipping giant Maersk, owner of Maersk Hangzhou, said Sunday it would suspend shipping through the Red Sea again after the two attacks on its freighter.
“In light of the (most recent) incident — and to give time to investigate the details of the incident and assess the security situation further — it has been decided that all transits through the area will be postponed for the next 48 hours,” Maersk was quoted as saying by the Danish public broadcaster DR.
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.
Earlier this month, Washington announced the establishment of a new international coalition to protect vessels traveling through the waterway. The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain are also part of the new maritime security mission.
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 had been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday.

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.

2023: A Tapestry of Faith, Miracles, and Unity for Catholics
The narrative of the global Catholic community in 2023 was a compelling blend of profound sorrow, radiant hope, and unwavering faith. The year began with the world mourning the loss of Pope Benedict XVI on December 31, 2022, his funeral drawing thousands and Pope Francis delivering a heartfelt farewell.
World Youth Day: A Beacon of Unity
The year’s highlight was undoubtedly World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal. Approximately 1.5 million young people converged, creating a vibrant tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions. Pope Francis’s message of ‘Be not afraid’ echoed across the gathering, inspiring countless conversion stories and potential miracles.
Miracles and Testaments of Faith
2023 was a year of faith-affirming moments. The exhumed body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, OSB, was found incorrupt at a Benedictine monastery in Missouri, a phenomenon often associated with sainthood. Meanwhile, a statue of the Virgin Mary stood unscathed amidst the rubble of a catastrophic earthquake in Turkey, providing solace to the devastated community.
Back in the United States, a Eucharistic procession led by Father Mike Schmitz in New York City brought the Catholic community together. In Connecticut, a purported Eucharistic miracle, wherein extra hosts appeared during Mass, is under investigation by the Archdiocese of Hartford.
Survival Amidst Disaster
Despite the ravages of a wildfire in Maui, Hawaii, the Maria Lanakila Catholic Church emerged unscathed, a powerful symbol of resilience and hope. In the realm of entertainment, ‘Sound of Freedom,’ a film about combating human trafficking starring Jim Caviezel, enjoyed unexpected success.
Celebrating Virtue and Remembering the Faithful
Pope Francis officially recognized the heroic virtues of Sister Lucia dos Santos, one of the children to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in Fatima, advancing her cause for sainthood. The world also bid a poignant farewell to Sister Andre Randon, the oldest person worldwide at the time of her death at 118. Her life, marked by conversion to Catholicism and service with the Daughters of Charity, continues to inspire the faithful.
These events encapsulate the spirit of the Catholic community in 2023, a testament to enduring faith and the transformative power of hope in times of joy and sorrow alike.

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

The 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.

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.

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

Retired Argentine Navy pilot Owen Crippa launched this week a fundraiser to bring back from the United States the Italian-built Aermacchi MB-339 with which he attacked the HMS Argonaut on May 21, 1982, during a reconnaissance mission amid the South Atlantic war over the Falkland Islands. He reportedly needs US$ 50,000.
Crippa, who now lives in Sunchales in the province of Santa Fe, alerted his superiors of the British fleet's presence in the region. For that successful sortie, he was granted a “Cross of Heroic Valor in Combat,” the country's highest military award. British historian Martin Middlebrook wrote that Crippa's bravado was a foretaste of the determination that the Argentine pilots were going to show in subsequent engagements.
In 2005 the Argentine Navy sold to a private businessman in the United States three decommissioned MB-339s -including the 4-Alpha-115 one- to buy spare parts for the Sea King helicopters to be deployed in that year's Antarctic campaign. Crippa's unit is believed to be the only one of its kind to have engaged in naval air combat and returned safely. In addition to the 1982 Falklands War, the Aermacchi MB-339 also saw combat with the Eritrean Air Force during the Eritrean–Ethiopian War of 1998–2000.
The retired naval aviator made a video that went viral asking for financial support to retrieve the aircraft that was sold to an American arms dealer due to budgetary issues.
After many years, I have managed with the support of some friends to be able to buy that aircraft. It is deposited in another friend's hangar in the United States. From now on it is necessary to raise funds to pay all the costs, transfer expenses, and acquisition of the plane. The estimated cost is 50,000 dollars and then we will continue with the project to define the space and assemble it, Crippa said.
The important thing is to bring this plane that has a symbolism for this homeland, he added.
Argentine TV war correspondent Nicolás Kasanzew wrote in Buenos Aires' La Prensa on Sunday that With my cameraman, Alfredo Lamela, we were in the Coast Guard boat in Puerto Argentino [Stanley] and, through the radio, we heard Crippa's voice shouting he had hit a frigate with eight rockets.
The pilot then requested more ammunition for a second sortie but was not allowed to make it because he needed to stay and brief his superiors on what he had found, Kasanzew explained.

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.

2024 Intellectual Property Forecast: Key Cases and Trends to Watch
As the clock ticks towards 2024, the intellectual property (IP) landscape is bracing for a year of significant legal shifts and trends. Legal experts from the IPWatchdog community have shared their insights on what to anticipate in the coming months, with an array of cases and potential legislation poised to impact the IP world significantly.
Patent Legislation and Administrative Policies
Alden Abbott from the Mercatus Center predicts an impasse in patent legislation and a continuation of anti-patent policies from the Biden Administration. This forecast underscores the intersection between politics and law, where policy decisions can hold substantial implications for IP rights and enforcement.
Supreme Court Spotlight
The Supreme Court’s decisions in two cases – Warner Chappell Music Inc. v. Nealy and Vidal v. Elster – have drawn particular attention. These rulings could set notable precedents, with far-reaching implications for copyright and trademark law alike.
Case Highlights: Trademark Law
Megan Bannigan from Debevoise & Plimpton flags the Penn State v. Vintage Brands case as one to watch. The outcome could profoundly impact trademark licensing and usage, especially for university brands. This case illustrates the importance of licensing agreements in safeguarding brand identity and value.
Trade Dress and AI: New Frontiers
Lori Cohen from Womble Bond Dickinson points to The Guitar Hotel’s success in trademarking its unique guitar-shaped hotel design as inherently distinctive, potentially paving the way for future trade dress cases. Meanwhile, Andrew Gray from Morgan Lewis underscores the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in IP, especially in relation to the licensing of training data and the rights of AI-generated works. These trends highlight the evolving nature of IP, as it adapts to technological advancements and innovative business practices.
National Security and Competitiveness in IP Policy
Robert Greenspoon from Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig emphasizes the intersection of national security and competitiveness in IP policy. The strategic use of Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) challenges by China brings a geopolitical dimension to IP, underscoring the global stakes in these debates. As the IP community welcomes 2024, these developments will be closely monitored, shaping the dialogue and direction of IP law in the new year.

KOLHAPUR: A woman was killed for ressisting sexual assault in the Bhadwan village of Kolhapur's Ajara tehsil on Thursday afternoon. The Ajara police have arrested the accused.
A tractor driver from Bhadwan, who tried to assault a 42-year-old woman of the same village, got upset when she resisted. He strangled the woman and, to hide her body, he dumped in it a sugar cane field and set the field ablaze.
Assistant inspector Sunil Harugude said, "The woman was strangled by a 46-year-old tractor driver, identified as Yogesh Patil.
The incident took place on Thursday at 1.30pm in a sugar cane farm on the banks of a stream between Bhadwan and Bhadwanwadi villages. The woman had gone to the stream to dump some old clothes. Patil, who had been following her right from her home, tried to drag her into the sugar cane field and sexually assault her. When the woman resisted, Patil killed her. He then went to another farm with his tractor and plowed it. He returned to the crime scene around 5pm and set the farm on fire to make it appear as if the woman had died in a farm fire."
A case of suspicious death of an unknown woman was registered on Thursday night. Later, the woman's identity was revealed.
Sameer Kamble, who is part of the local crime branch unit and hails from Bhadwan, helped solve the case after going through CCTV footage that showed Yogesh following the woman while she was going towards the stream. Later, Patil, was also seen on this particular road stretch thrice.
"The suspect helped extinguish the farm fire and removed the victim's burnt body from it. The suspect even tried to pretend that he was unaware of what had happened. However, as soon as we arrested and interrogated him, he confessed" added Harugade.
Additional SP Rajeev Navale, assistant inspector Sunil Harugude, sub-inspector Kumar Dhere, assistant police officer Bajirao Kamble, Sandeep Mhaswekar, Santosh Gasti, Ashok Shelke, Niranjan Jadhav was present at the scene and arrested the accused. Further investigation is ongoing.

KOLKATA: The minimum temperature is unlikely to drop significantly on Sunday from the 17.5° Celsius recorded on Saturday, possibly making the New Year's eve the least cold since 2011, when the minimum temperature hit 17.5° Celsius.
On Thursday, the minimum temperature reached this week's highest of 17.6° Celsius before dipping to 16.9° Celsius on Friday.
It rose again on Saturday.
"Both maximum and minimum temperatures are unlikely to change by New Year's eve. Sunny skies are likely to remain in place. People may feel slightly hot as the chill factor has definitely reduced significantly since the middle of the month," said Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) director GK Das.
The maximum temperature of 24.6° Celsius is likely to continue past the New year until fresh northwesterly winds begin appearing again from after January 5, resulting in a drop in both the maximum and minimum temperatures by a few notches, said the Met office.

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.

Kyler Murray Wore a Sidney Crosby Jersey to Troll Eagles Before Sunday’s Game, and Fans Loved It
Although the Arizona Cardinals aren’t contending for a spot in the NFC playoff race, it didn’t stop quarterback Kyler Murray from poking fun at the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of the team’s matchup on Sunday afternoon.
Murray entered Lincoln Financial Field wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins’ Sidney Crosby sweater. The Penguins’ star, who is considered one of the greatest all-time NHL players, has been the ultimate villain in the rivalry between the Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers on the ice.
With Murray’s choice in pregame attire, the Cardinals’ signal-caller seems to be seeking villain status in The City of Brotherly Love. A win over the Eagles (11-4) would damage a Philadelphia team seeking to keep its No. 2 seed in the NFC playoff picture.
Although the Cardinals (3-12) face a tall task in knocking off the Eagles, NFL fans loved every bit of Murray trolling Philadelphia ahead of the game.

LeBron James Adds More Hype Behind Bronny After Best Game of Early USC Career
The excitement behind USC Trojans freshman Bronny James is quickly on the rise—and it has very little to do with the name on the back of his jersey. Bronny, the son of arguably the greatest NBA player in history, LeBron James, is fresh off the best performance of his young collegiate career.
Bronny scored 15 points on 6–of–11 shooting while dishing out three assists with one steal and played some impressive defense beyond the box score. After the game, LeBron responded to a highlight clip of his son’s performance in USC’s loss to Oregon State while providing even more reason to believe we’re just beginning to see Bronny’s upside.
His rhythm is starting to return to form after the layoff. Great showing tonight Young 🤴🏾. Oh still on mins restriction too. https://t.co/UT5VIYVKat
— LeBron James (@KingJames) December 31, 2023
The Los Angeles Lakers star correctly noted that Bronny is still on a minutes restriction and is only five games back from a serious scare when he suffered cardiac arrest during practice. Thankfully, James was cleared after it was revealed to be a congenital heart defect, which was treatable.
Bronny averages 7.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game over just 16.6 minutes through his first five collegiate games. He’s also shooting 46.2% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.

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 Argentine Government of President Javier Milei this week sent a note announcing that the South American country would not be joining the BRICS group on Jan. 1 as agreed upon with the previous administration of Alberto Fernández.
Presidential Spokesman Manuel Adorni said Milei's letter mentioned that at this point it was not deemed opportune the incorporation of the Argentine Republic to the BRICS as a full member as of January 1, 2024.
Under Milei, Argentina's foreign policy differs in many aspects from that of the previous government, the President also wrote.
Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates are to join the current BRICS members (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) on Jan. 1 to form a bloc encompassing a significant proportion of the world's GDP and population. Moscow regretted Buenos Aires' decision but admitted Argenntina's sovereign right to make it.
We are not going to align ourselves with communists, Milei had declared during his campaign while underlining that the United States and Israel were to be his main allies.
Also among Milei's possible reasons for rejecting the bloc is that the BRICS bank (officially the New Development Bank) headed by former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff does not allow financial bailouts for broken countries.
In this scenario, the Libertarian leader must have feared a political alignment behind the financial one. His preferences are rooted in a diffuse feeling of moral and aesthetic superiority on the side of his partners of choice, which Milei has repeatedly uttered.

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

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

Alaska Braces for Powerful Storms Amid Contrasting Weather Across U.S.
Alaska is on high alert as a series of forceful storms is predicted to unfurl across the state, starting today. The looming weather system is expected to carry exceedingly powerful winds that will sweep across the region, adding to the state’s mounting challenges as it grapples with the relentless winter. Concurrently, a milder clipper-type low-pressure center is predicted to trigger a soft wintry mix of precipitation in parts of the Ohio Valley and Central Appalachians. Despite these developments, the rest of the United States is forecasted to bask in a relatively tranquil and warm weather pattern.
Alaska in the Grip of Severe Weather
In the face of the impending storm, the key transportation artery of the region, Haines Road Highway 3 – that bridges Haines Junction Yukon with B.C. and Alaska – has been closed. The shutdown, attributed to heavy snowfall, threatening winds, and perilous icy road conditions, is expected to linger through the weekend. The highway is currently buried under loose snow with towering snowbanks reaching up to 10 feet high, and daily snowfall accumulation of 3 to 4 feet.
Contrasting Weather Patterns Across the Country
The contrasting weather conditions across America underscore the diverse climate phenomena that can simultaneously transpire within different regions. As parts of the country brace for tumultuous weather, others anticipate serene conditions and temperatures above the seasonal average. This stark contrast serves as a reminder of the multifaceted climatic experiences that characterize the vast nation.
Public Safety Measures
Given the severe weather conditions in Alaska and parts of Ohio Valley and Central Appalachians, the RCMP has cautioned motorists against trying to bypass the barricades on Highway 3. The law enforcement agency is also urging people from outside the affected regions to refrain from venturing onto the roads during the extended weekend. Such measures underscore the gravity of the situation and the imperative need for public adherence to safety guidelines.

KOLKATA: The litter that had left the Maidan area scarred for over five days was finally cleared on Saturday. Though the state Public Works Department (PWD) carried out a dawn-to-noon operation to bring respectability back to the Maidan, environmentalists acknowledged that keeping the area clean was a collaborative effort and required participation of the citizens.
PWD on Saturday deployed additional men to sweep the litter off the Maidan, clearing nearly 90% of waste paper, plastic and styrofoam that had been dumped by revellers and picnickers over the past five days.
Though PWD officials claimed it had been carrying out the sweeping activity every morning, it was getting drowned in the sea of waste.
Every afternoon and evening, thousands descend on the Maidan, the city's biggest patch of green, and spend the winter afternoon and evening, having picnics, idling or playing. When they leave, instead of tidying up the place and carrying the waste with them, they leave it behind. That, activists and environmentalists said, has to change.
Responding to TOI's reports on the Maidan mess, PWD secretary Antara Acharya had on Friday evening promised a proper clean-up and lived up to her promise on Saturday when more men and women were deployed to sweep the vast expanse of green. Tonnes of wastepaper, plastic and styrofoam were collected from the grounds.
“Our workers collect huge amounts of waste every morning and dump them at the KMC trash bins. But we don’t have the strength to collect garbage again in the late afternoon when the visitors assemble in large numbers,” said a state PWD official.
According to the PWD official, they would gradually increase the workforce to conduct a cleanliness drive more efficiently. However, he conceded the KMC had better infrastructure and they would need the help of the civic body in the year-end to remove waste from the sprawling Maidan in future. “Currently, KMC provides us trash bins for deposition of the waste that are being generated. The transportation of the garbage is also done by the civic body’s solid waste management department. We may need the civic body’s assistance in collection of garbage as well,” said a PWD official.
According to a KMC solid waste management department official, the civic body engages its workforce from time to time to remove piled-up plastic and other waste from Maidan. “We have a ready infrastructure for removal of waste from Maidan. All we need is a formal request from the state agency before we take up the clean-up drive,” said the civic official. According to the KMC official, the civic brass is keeping an eye on the Maidan development and may take up the matter with the state government if need be.

Mountain Dew Says Fan-Favorite Flavor Will Be Permanent for 2024
Mountain Dew's Baja Blast will officially be a permanent offering at grocery store chains and small businesses nationwide in 2024.
The fan-favorite flavor was created in 2004 as a Taco Bell exclusive. But after gaining a cult following, the soda brand decided to give fans the option to enjoy the flavor without driving to TBell for its soda fountain about a decade ago.
In 2014, Mountain Dew—a subsidiary of PepsiCo—served up Baja Blast in bottles and cans, but it was only for a limited time. The company followed suit in 2015 and 2016, but in 2017, the prepackaged variation was discontinued.
A year later, Baja Blast re-emerged on store shelves, and the drink has since made annual appearances at shops across the country. The tropical-lime flavored soda even earned a few spinoffs, like the frozen slush (also offered as an alcoholic option at select Taco Bell Cantina locations), the Baja Blast gelato, a limited-edition hot sauce, and, of course, Mountain Dew's Baja Blast Energy drinks. However, it has never been officially added to the regular lineup—until now, anyway.
"Well it’s about forking time if you ask me🙌🏻 In celebration of the 20th Bajaversary, Mountain Dew Baja Blast will be a permanent flavor in 2024!!" fast food influencer @Markie_Devo announced via a Dec. 29 Instagram post.
"In January Baja Blast will hit [shelves] nationwide as a permanent item in both regular and zero(bottles & cans)," the caption explained.
"Happy New Year to us!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 can’t wait!!!!!!" one excited social media user exclaimed.
"I love Baja . I am getting those bottles," another shared.
A third quipped, "I like Baja Blast as much as the next person, but it absolutely tastes the best from Taco Bell."
The only people more excited than fans of the beverage are those working in Mountain Dew's marketing department, as they've set a countdown to the Jan. 2 release on the official Baja Blast website.

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

Bolivia's Plurinational Constitutional Court (TCP) Friday ruled that indefinite reelection is not a human right and therefore former President Evo Morales was banned from running for office in 2025. Under the TCP's new consideration, such a right can now be legally restricted, which reverses a criterion approved by this same court in 2017.
The latest TCP decision took into consideration an opinion submitted by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). The previous paradigm allowed Morales to run for his third reelection, which resulted in an uprising leading to his early departure from office in 2019 amid election fraud allegations.
The TCP insisted that the president and vice-president in Bolivia can only exercise their mandate for two continuous or discontinuous periods, which means the disqualification of Morales for any future election after three terms (2006-2009; 2009-2014 and 2014-2019).
The ruling also entails a change in the Constitution, which bans more than two continuous terms but nowhere in its wording does it mention discontinuous reelections.
Some law scholars have argued that the latest TCP construction was an overinterpretation of the Constitution because in Bolivian history discontinuous reelections have always been allowed.
Morales is engaged in a total confrontation with the government of President Luis Arce Catacora, who in recent years has gone from being his dauphin to becoming his worst enemy. Evo has already announced his candidacy for 2025 and is waging a legal battle to keep the party he founded, the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), in his hands.
He argues that Arce and Justice Minister Iván Lima seek to disenfranchise him for the next elections and, for that, magistrates who were to leave their benches on Dec. 31 will remain in office pending judicial elections that should have been held in 2023.
The TCP ruling also provided for the reelection of magistrates, which had been prohibited.
What, no President for Life?

A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children and injuring a third was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, authorities said.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, Kimberlee Singler, 35, of Colorado Springs, was arrested in the United Kingdom “without incident,” The Denver Post reported. No other details about the arrest were immediately available and the exact location where Singler was arrested was unclear, according to KUSA-TV.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Singler on murder and attempted murder charges after her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter were found dead in a home on Dec. 19, while her 11-year-old daughter was hospitalized.
According to KUSA, the children’s father, Kevin Wentz, identified the deceased children as Aden Wentz, 7; and Elianna “Ellie” Wentz, 9.

Police had responded to a report of a burglary at the residence, but it turned out to be unfounded, according to The Associated Press.
Singler initially cooperated with authorities but then went missing as the investigation progressed, Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin said. She was last seen on Dec. 23, police said.
On Dec. 26, police issued a warrant for Singler’s arrest on four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of first-degree assault, KUSA reported.
The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released, Cronin said. She is recovering in Colorado Springs, according to the AP.
The children’s deaths came during a legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, the AP reported, citing court filings. Hearings had been scheduled for next month.
“Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit continue to work closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement.

American Credit Card Debt Crosses $1 Trillion: Consumer Resilience and Economic Outlook
For the first time in history, American credit card debt has surged past the $1 trillion milestone, marking a new chapter in the nation’s financial narrative. Concurrently, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes have escalated the average credit card interest rates to over 22%, with retail credit cards witnessing a steeper hike to around 29%. This increase in credit card debt comes at a time when living expenses across categories such as rent, groceries, and gas are mounting.
Consumer Spending and Retail Impact
Despite the financial strain, American consumers demonstrated remarkable resilience during the Thanksgiving shopping period. Over 200 million people shopped during this weekend, indicating a robust consumer spending trend. However, this surge in shopping behavior has raised concerns among large retailers such as Macy’s and Nordstrom. These retail giants have reported a slowdown in credit card repayments, signaling potential future impacts on retail revenue.
Future Financial Challenges
As Americans brace for continued inflationary pressures and the impending resumption of student loan payments, the coming period is poised to be financially challenging. The sustainability of consumer spending is crucial to ward off a potential recession, thus making this dynamic a key factor in the future economic outlook.
The Larger Economic Picture
The mounting American debt has become a worry for investors, with the government expected to spend more on interest payments than on defense in the next five years. If this debt continues to rise at the current rate, net interest payments could catapult from under $500 billion to $1.4 trillion by 2033. This looming debt burden threatens to slow economic growth, potentially impacting stock market returns, and forcing the government to contemplate tax hikes and further bond sell-offs.

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

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