In the latest episode of his radio show 'Mann Ki Baat', Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled how Indian cinema made the country shine with international honours.
Hailing India's twin Oscars wins in 2023, PM Modi said, "Friends, when 'Naatu Naatu' got the Oscar, the whole country rejoiced. Who was not happy when they heard about the honour given to 'The Elephant Whisperers'? Through these, the world witnessed India's creativity and understood our connection with the environment."
In 2023, 'Naatu Naatu' song from SS Rajamouli's film 'RRR' scripted history at Oscars 2023 by winning Best Original Song.
Before winning the Oscars, the song bagged awards on the global stage. In January, 'Naatu Naatu' won the Golden Globes in the 'Best Original Song' category.
Five days later, 'RRR' bagged two more awards at the 28th edition of the Critics Choice Awards. One is for the best song and another is for the 'Best Foreign Language Film'.
The song was also released in Hindi as 'Naacho Naacho', in Tamil as 'Naattu Koothu', in Kannada as 'Halli Naatu' and in Malayalam as 'Karinthol'. Its Hindi version was sung by Rahul Sipligunj and Vishal Mishra.

A surfer in Hawaii died at the hospital after a shark attack Saturday.
According toMaui County authorities, they received a report at around 11 a.m. local time Saturday about “a miscellaneous type incident.” Upon arrival, they discovered that Ocean Safety Officers had rescued and transported Jason Carter, a 39-year-old man, to shore using a jet ski.
Responders conducted life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived, and Carter was then taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment.
According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Carter, who is originally from Haiku, faced the shark encounter while surfing at Paia Bay, where shark warning signs are placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay.
While initial signs of foul play were not evident, the police department reports that the investigation is ongoing and an autopsy has been scheduled.

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.

A lithium-ion battery fire in a cargo ship’s hold is out after several days of burning
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.

As noted, Kevin Dunn is finishing up with WWE after nearly forty years as the top executive producer for the company.
Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com is reporting that the decision regarding Dunn’s departure was inevitable when Vince McMahon lost power in WWE, as it was expected that he would retire or be replaced, with new people in charge likely putting their own preferred team in place.
In terms of who will be replacing Dunn, the decision doesn’t seem definite yet.
Several people in the company have thrown the name Mike Mansury around as someone Paul “Triple H” Levesque would want, however it is believed that Mansury is under a long-term deal with AEW.
Another name that has been mentioned is Marty Miller.
At one point the attempt was to make Chris Kaiser the Executive Producer who would handle the budgets and Dunn as the guy handling the shows and making the final decisions, however things ended up going a different route. With Dunn now gone, Miller could be brought in as someone who handles the production from the truck, while Kaiser handles the budget side of things, but that is purely speculation at this point.
While some in the company knew Dunn’s departure was coming, many were surprised by the news. The process of Dunn’s decision to step down goes back a couple of months and really stems from McMahon losing power behind-the-scenes in the company.
We will keep you posted.

Directed by Brian De Palma and featuring Al Pacino in the lead role, Scarface is generally considered to be one of the greatest crime dramas in cinematic history.
Released in 1983, the film explored themes of greed, power and violence, and its portrayal of the rise and fall of Cuban immigrant Tony Montana (Pacino) in ’80s Miami made it a cultural reference point for depicting the dark side of the American Dream.
Pacino, who got an Oscar nomination for the role, put in a stellar performance as the charismatic, ambitious and ruthless Montana. He was ably assisted by Michelle Pfeiffer (Batman Returns, 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express and Ant-Man and the Wasp) in the role of his glamorous ‘trophy wife’ Elvira.
The dialogue, written by director Oliver Stone, was littered with memorable quotes, many of which have adorned walls of students and cinephiles alike for decades and now find themselves meme-friendly.
On that note, here are 15 of the best Scarface quotes – all delivered by Tony Montana himself.
These Are The Highest-Rated Christopher Nolan Movies On IMDb
The Best ‘Scarface’ quotes
- “I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.”
- “Say hello to my little friend!”
- “You need people like me so you can point your f**kin’ fingers and say, ‘That’s the bad guy’.”
- “I’m Tony Montana! You f**k with me, you f**kin’ with the best!”
- “I never f**ked anybody over in my life didn’t have it coming to them.”
- “You know what capitalism is? Getting f**ked!”
- “The only thing in this world that gives orders… is balls.”
- “Every dog has his day.”
- “In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.”
- “Why don’t you try sticking your head up your ass? See if it fits.”
- “You wanna waste my time? OK. I call my lawyer. He’s the best lawyer in Miami. He’s such a good lawyer, that by tomorrow morning, you gonna be working in Alaska. So dress warm.”
- “Would you kiss me if I wear the hat?”
- “I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card… I’m gonna carve him up real nice.”
- “I got my balls, and I got my word, and I don’t break ’em for anybody.”
And, lastly, this little gem from the television edit of the film which revised some of the more choice language for a less offensive tone:
- “This town’s like a great big chicken just waiting to be plucked. ” – Tony Montana
Let’s just say that, in the original quote, it was not a chicken and it wasn’t waiting to be ‘plucked’…

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.

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.

Actor Neha Dhupia on Saturday shared a workout video bidding goodbye to the year 2023.
Taking to Instagram stories, Neha treated fans with a video from her gym session.
In the video, she can be seen enjoying and flaunting her body after a workout.
Neha can be seen wearing a white tank top with pink jeggings.
Sharing the video, she wrote, "Finish strong 2023."
Meanwhile, on the work front, Neha Dhupia is extremely excited about her new project 'Blue 5'.
The international project is directed by Egyptian filmmaker Ali El Arabi.
As per a statement, the film is the story of Ashish, who at the age of 9 is isolated by his father when he loses his oldest son and using this fear he isolates Ashish on an island by the backwaters of Kochi, India. Growing up, Ashish becomes a boy trapped in a man's body by the age of 22, with little knowledge of the world beyond his idol Messi and the life lessons imparted by his mother over the years, aimed at preparing him for life beyond their small island home. Strengthened by newfound resolve, Ashish decides to leave home with his mother's support and an opportunity that seems almost like a fantasy, offering him the chance to meet his idol, Messi, at the World Cup in Qatar 2022. Left to navigate the world on his own for the first time, he discovers his true self and finds his own passion.
On making her international debut, Neha said, "Embarking on the journey of 'Blue 52' has been nothing short of magical. The fusion of diverse cultures in this international venture allowed me to delve deep into a character that is both challenging and emotionally resonant. It's a transformative experience that I believe will leave a lasting impact and I'm glad that Ali chose me to essay the lead in what is my international first".
Director Ali El Arabi also expressed excitement about the project.
"Creating 'Blue 52' was a labor of love, blending the cinematic languages of Egypt, America, and India. Neha brought an unparalleled dedication to her role, infusing the character with a nuanced emotional depth. The picturesque locales of Kochi and the vibrant energy of Qatar served as the perfect canvas for our storytelling. This film is a testament to the collaborative spirit of international cinema, and I am excited for audiences to experience the richness we've crafted together," he said,
Neha is also all set to make her OTT debut with a quirky comedy show that explores contemporary human relationships from the viewpoint of a nuclear family.
Expressing her excitement, Neha shared, "I am thrilled to be part of this wonderful project that not only marks my debut in the OTT series space."
While sharing details about her upcoming web series, she added, "It's a fun concept and I can't wait to explore a whole new gamut of quirks that the project and script tied in with it"

When there are a few minutes left until five in the afternoon, the door of the Seneca Philosopher School in Hortaleza begins to fill with parents. As time passes and the time change approaches, the different conversations, which were previously heard clearly, become a general murmur as more people approach the small orange gate that gives access to the school playground. What is little intelligible from a distance reveals that the conversations of those present revolve around their daughters: anecdotes from school, the most recent funny occurrence or the latest illness from which they have recovered. They have all brought their little girls, eight and nine years old, to soccer training in Scorpion 1997, a non-profit association dedicated to promoting, through sport, the personal and social development of children, especially those who are at risk or vulnerable. At five the bell rings, the metal door opens and football begins.
The team's coach, Montserrat Velarde (36 years old), accompanies them to the indoor soccer field located in the patio, which at each end has a goal with the posts painted red and white, and the nets perforated by the goals they receive. . Montse, as she likes to be called, comes from a family with a great soccer tradition, but like many other girls of her time, her parents did not let her practice the sport: “My father was a soccer coach, my brother also played and my uncle came to coach Rayo Vallecano, but they didn't let me play, because I was a girl and because I was the youngest in the family,” recalls Montse, who as a child covered her bruises when she got home, so that her parents They wouldn't discover that he had played ball in some party.
As a consequence of her personal history, Montse has taken it upon herself to clear these types of barriers for her two daughters, aged seven and nine, who are also part of the Alacrán 1997 youth team. From her trench, she celebrates the visibility that football Women's football has been winning in recent years: “Every time girls have more female references and boys increasingly watch women's football, there is an important change in mentality. Now my father, who wouldn't let me play, comes to see us and tells my daughter 'eat a big breakfast because you have a game,' she says as her eyes light up. “I am a volunteer here and it is a sacrifice, but my reward is seeing my girls enjoy what I never could at their age,” says she, who confesses to having received job offers from other teams. “They have offered me a job outside of Alacrán, doing the same thing I do here, only with a salary. But here are my daughters and, furthermore, if they paid me to do this, I don't think I would do it,” concludes Montse, who complements her passion with a job in an insurance company.
Rubén López (45 years old), coordinator of the entity, explains that one of the three main slogans of Alacrán 1997 is to have two teams, one female and one male, in each of the eleven categories that operate, which range from six to seventeen years old. The second slogan is that minors who want to join the team can do so without their parents having to pay a fee: “The members agreed that it would never happen that anyone who did not have money to pay would be left without playing football.” says López, who together with a group of youth friends, started the training project thirteen years ago, with the aim of “giving something back to the neighborhood” in which they grew up. The third slogan is that everyone who wanted to be part of the Alacrán 1997 structure had to do so as volunteers. Currently there are 40 people who, without receiving a salary, work in administration, operation and technical management positions within the association.
For the project to maintain these three characteristics—egalitarian, free and voluntary—external financing is key. According to López, the association tries to finance itself with Christmas raffles, solidarity markets and donations from members themselves, but this only constitutes 15% of the annual budget. The remaining 85%, with which operating expenses are sustained, facilities are rented and balls and clothing are purchased, comes from outside, both from the public and private sectors, with Fundación La Caixa being one of its main promoters. Joana Prats, director of Relations with Social Entities of the foundation, points out that the Alacrán 1997 project was chosen among several proposals because it promotes “physical activity, social inclusion, connection with the territory, the involvement of families and Informal education”.
López contributes by going deeper into this last aspect, pointing out that certain players in the older categories, from 14 to 17 years old, who see leadership qualities and understanding of the game, are also offered the opportunity to train to become certified as coaches. “It is always important to have a job opportunity. Even if they don't end up dedicating themselves to it, it is good for all of us to know how to earn an extra income at some stage of our lives,” says the coordinator. One of these outstanding students is Irina Sanseroni, 16 years old, with whom it is enough to exchange just a couple of words to attest to her developed maturity. “I had never been part of a soccer team, because my family couldn't afford it, until I came to Alacrán. Here I learned that you have to fight for your goals, no matter how far away they may seem,” says the person who was part of the minor categories and now assists Montse during the training of the Benjamin women's team. “I try to transmit the values that I learned to the little ones,” she concludes with enthusiasm.

Colorado mother suspected of killing her 2 children and wounding a third arrested in United Kingdom
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.

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.

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

New Year’s Eve sweeps across the globe, but wars cast a shadow on 2024
Revelers counted down to midnight on New Year’s Eve across the globe Sunday as fireworks and festive lights offered a hopeful start to 2024 for some, even as the world’s ongoing conflicts subdued celebrations and raised security concerns.
In Australia, more than 1 million people watched a pyrotechnic display centered around Sydney’s famous Opera House and harbor bridge — a number of spectators equivalent to one in five of the city’s residents.
“It’s total madness,” said German tourist Janna Thomas, who waited in line since 7:30 a.m. to secure a prime waterfront location.
Some 90,000 police and security officers were deployed around France including along Champs-Elysees Avenue, where large crowds took in a multidimensional light show projected onto the Arc de Triomphe showcasing the history of Paris and sports on the menu for next year’s Summer Olympics in the city.
In New York, people lined up early to nab a spot in Times Square for the midnight ball drop. Officials and party organizers said they were prepared to keep tens of thousands of revelers safe in the heart of Manhattan, as the city has seen near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war.
FIREWORKS LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
Stunning fireworks displays bloomed at iconic locations like the Acropolis in Athens, Greece; reflected in the sleek glass walls of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; and accompanied a collective cheer filling the air in Nairobi, Kenya.
China celebrated relatively quietly, with most major cities banning fireworks over safety and pollution concerns. Still, people gathered and performers danced in colorful costumes in Beijing, while a crowd released wish balloons in Chongqing. During his New Year address, President Xi Jinping said the country would focus on building momentum for economic recovery in 2024 and pledged China would “surely be reunified” with Taiwan.
In Taipei, Taiwan’s capital, the mood was upbeat as revelers gathered for a fireworks show at the bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 skyscraper and at concerts and other events citywide.
In India, thousands of revelers from the financial hub of Mumbai watched the sun set over the Arabian Sea. Fireworks in New Delhi raised concerns that the capital — already infamous for its poor air quality — would be blanketed by a toxic haze on the first morning of the new year.
Across Japan, people gathered at temples such as the Tsukiji Temple in Tokyo, where visitors were given free hot milk and corn soup as they stood in line to strike a massive bell.
POPE HIGHLIGHTS THE HUMAN COST OF WAR
At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering. During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square, he offered prayers for “the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others.”
“At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed conflict, how many dead and how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty,” the pontiff said.
GAZA AND UKRAINE WARS GRIND ON
In Russia, the country’s military actions in Ukraine overshadowed end-of-year celebrations, with the usual fireworks and concert on Moscow’s Red Square canceled, as they were last year. Even without the festivities, people gathered in the square,and some cheered and pointed their phones at a clock counting down the year’s final seconds.
After shelling in the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across the country also canceled their firework displays, including in Vladivostok. Millions were expected to tune in to President Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s prerecorded address, in which he said no force could divide Russians and stop the country’s development.
Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 35 people Sunday, hospital officials said, as fighting raged across the tiny enclave a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war will continue for “many more months,” resisting international calls for a cease-fire.
Skyscrapers in Tel Aviv were lit up in yellow to call for the release of hostages held by Palestinian militants in Gaza for more than 80 days.
“While you are counting down until the new year, our time and our lives stopped,” said Moran Betzer Tayar, the aunt of Yagev Buchshtab, a 34-year-old hostage.
In the Gaza Strip, displaced Palestinians huddled around fires in a makeshift refugee camp.
“From the intensity of the pain we live, we do not feel that there is a new year,” said Kamal al-Zeinaty, who has lost multiple family members in the conflict. “All the days are the same.”
In Iraq, a Christmas tree was decorated with Palestinian flags and symbolic bodies in funeral shrouds, placed beside a liberty monument in central Baghdad. Many Christians in Iraq have cancelled this year’s festivities in solidarity with Gaza, and have chosen to limit their celebrations to prayers and rituals.
“We hope that the new year, 2024, will be a year of goodness, prosperity and joy,” said Ahmed Ali, a Baghdad resident.
In Muslim-majority Pakistan, the government banned all New Year’s Eve celebrations in solidarity with the Palestinians.
GLOBAL TENSIONS SPUR SECURITY VIGILANCE
New York Mayor Eric Adams said there were “no specific threats” to his city’s annual bash. Nevertheless, police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a “buffer zone” that would allow them to head off potential demonstrations. On New Year’s Eve 2022, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square.
Security was also heightened across European cities on Sunday.
German authorities said they etained three more people in connection with a reported threat of a New Year’s Eve attack by Islamic extremists on the world-famous Cologne Cathedral.
In Berlin, some 4,500 police officers were expected to keep order and avoid riots like those seen a year ago. Authorities also banned the traditional use of firecrackers for several streets across the city. They also banned a pro-Palestinian protest in the Neukoelln neighborhood of the German capital, which has seen several pro-Palestinian riots.

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.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday highlighted India's twin wins at this year's Oscars for the song "Naatu Naatu" from "RRR" and documentary short "The Elephant Whisperers" in his last Mann Ki Baat address for 2023. In the 108th episode of the radio broadcast, the prime minister said the world saw India's creativity and understood the country's connection with the environment through its entertainment industry.
"Friends, when 'Naatu Naatu' got the Oscar, the whole country rejoiced with joy. Who was not happy when they heard about the honour given to 'The Elephant Whisperers'? Through these, the world witnessed India's creativity and understood our connection with the environment," Modi said.
At the 95th Academy Awards, the foot-tapping Telugu chartbuster "Naatu Naatu", composed by MM Keeravaani and penned by Chandrabose, won the best original song award and made SS Rajamouli's "RRR" the first Indian feature film production to bring home the Oscar.
Netflix's Tamil documentary "The Elephant Whisperers", directed by debutante Kartiki Gonsalves and produced by Guneet Monga, also became the maiden Indian production to win the Oscar in the documentary short film category.
During the Mann Ki Baat broadcast, actor Akshay Kumar also shared his fitness tips.
"Don't live a filter life, live a fitter life," Kumar said as he called for focusing on physical fitness as well as overall well-being.

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."

Pakistan has completely banned the screening of Indian films since 2019 despite the fact that our movies were being watched by people in big numbers there! Many Pakistani artists themselves have admitted to the popularity of our films in their country. Now, Pakistani actor Faysal Quraishi has also voiced his opinion on it, quite honestly.
Faysal says that Indian films should be released in their country The actor added that theatres in Pakistan can only survive and grow if they release Indian movies, as per PTI.
Faysal revealed that if the ban is lifted, the entertainment industry there would earn around Rs 6000 to 7000 million annually. He clarified that being a Pakistani, he is very patriotic but if they need to run Pakistani cinemas, it's important to exhibit Indian films. He added that he's being very selfish in saying this, because the audience in .wants to watch Indian films. The Government cannot enforce their will on them and they should work to improve relations with India.
He revealed further that Pakistani movies and serials were being shown on online portals whereas people went to theatres only to watch Indian films. It brought valuable revenue to the country. While they need to improve their own content, Pakistan also needs to lift their ban on Indian movies because 'it's funny to shut down our own avenues of revenue,' says Faysal.
Faysal is largely known for his work in television shows like 'Toba Tek Singh', 'Ishq Ibaadat', 'Baba Jani' and the list is really long. He's also a producer and television host apart from being an actor.

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

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

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.

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

Priyanka Chopra’s mother, Dr Madhu Chopra has shared her thoughts on the concept of ‘nuclear family set-up’ and stated that it should be completely abolished. She gave the example of how Priyanka Chopra mentions her family in her interviews because she was raised by 'a team'
Shedding light on the values of family, Madhu Chopra was quoted in the book Raising Stars, by Rashmi Uchil, "In my opinion, the nuclear family set-up should be thrown out of the window.
My kids grew up with their maasi, mami, mama, and cousins. Family is most important to me and the same goes for the kids. In every interview Priyanka gives, she talks about family.”
She went on to recall how her kids were raised by the joint family since she was a working mother. Dr Madhu Chopra stated, “Though I was always a working mother, I always made sure the kids were never left to themselves. My children love the joint family system. We throw family get-togethers at the drop of a hat. There are nine kids on my husband’s side and nine kids on my side. When the cousins get together, they have a blast. They are so close that you will never be able to tell the cousin from the real sibling. The bond is so strong. Even after me, they will be there for each other.”
In December 2018, Priyanka Chopra got hitched to Nick Jonas in a grand wedding hosted in Rajasthan. Last year, the couple turned parents to Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, who was born via surrogacy.

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.

Bollywood's ace filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani is currently enjoying the success of his recently released '
Dunki', starring
Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The film has so far earned a global gross of over Rs 340 crore in just nine days.
A recent incident involving a charter plane carrying 276 passengers, mostly Indians, was grounded in France for four days due to suspected human trafficking, before being sent back to Mumbai, has once again brought attention to the subject.
While speaking about the same, in an interview with NDTV, Rajkumar Hirani explained that such reports surface every month. Not a single month goes by without reports of people crossing borders in such ways, he stated. He added that since we are more aware of this now, it immediately captures our attention when it makes the news.
The filmmaker added that in Dunki, the flashback is set in 1995. He said that several countries provide Indians with visa upon arrival. So the method to illegally immigrate has changed. According to him, in the past, people used to physically cross borders from India to Pakistan, then to Afghanistan, followed by Turkey. From there, they would travel by boat to Greece, then move on to Italy and then France. This was one of the donkey routes. Sometimes people also went through Russia, he revealed.
Hirani also stated that while working on the subject, he spoke to people who either knew somebody who had ‘done the Dunki’, or was in the process of doing it themselves. The filmmaker revealed that he spoke to a man from Punjab who was in Mexico and was sure that he would make it across the border in a few months.

Quick Take:
Dan Stevenson, the bus driver who was behind the wheel of a bus that crashed on UCSC’s campus on Dec. 12, has died from his injuries. The school’s investigation into the cause of the accident is still ongoing.
A longtime public transit driver who was behind the wheel of a bus that crashed on UC Santa Cruz’s campus earlier this month has died from his injuries.
Dan Stevenson drove for Santa Cruz Metro and UCSC’s campus bus service for 25 years. In an emailed statement, Chancellor Cynthia Larive and Campus Provost Lori Kletzer said that Stevenson was a valued employee, and that he “was well respected by his colleagues and will be deeply missed by so many.”
In a Facebook post, the union representing Santa Cruz Metro drivers, SMART Local 0023, called Stevenson a “genuinely kind-hearted person dedicated to serving his community.” It added that he played a big role in the union’s 37-day strike in 2005.
Shortly after 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 12, a campus bus drove off the road and collided with a lime kiln near the base of the school and the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn, in the area of Coolidge Drive near High Street.
earlier this month
While UCSC said Stevenson died on Friday, Dec. 29, the union said he died on Thursday. The statement from UCSC administrators did not provide an update on the condition of the five students also injured in the crash. Earlier this month, the school said four of the victims sustained minor-to-moderate injuries while one sustained serious injuries. Three were treated and released from Dominican Hospital, a hospital spokesperson said previously.
After the incident, the university pulled its 16 other 35-foot buses, similar to the one that crashed, from the road for inspection. On Dec. 26, university spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason said the cause of the crash remained under investigation but declined to share more information. He said the campus was still inspecting the vehicles.
Stevenson appeared to be active in advocating for transit drivers and riders. He spoke publicly about the region’s transit service, including at a 2016 rally in downtown Santa Cruz protesting planned cuts to Metro funding. In 2005, he invited members of Metro’s board to ride his bus during labor negotiations over proposed changes to policies surrounding unpaid leaves of absence.
“Mr. Stevenson invited the Board to ride his bus and he spoke in favor of General Leave,” board minutes from a Sept. 23, 2005 meeting show, “explaining that he utilizes that time to rebolster his health, kick his caffeine addiction, get away from cigarette smoke and may use the time to look for a different job.”
In an opinion piece in the Santa Cruz Sentinel in 2018 supporting a rent control measure that was rejected later that year by voters, Stevenson wrote about how many hours he had to spend driving to make ends meet and his struggles to afford to rent in Santa Cruz County before he became a homeowner.
“Some guys have been working like that for decades and still can’t afford to raise a family,” he wrote. “A big part of the reason is the comically high rents.”
He also described the affordability challenges facing those he saw riding his bus every day, particularly unhoused passengers.
“Every day I see homeless people who can’t find housing because they are only given so many days to find a place and it just is not available at the prices they need,” he wrote. “So they are back out on the streets or stuck in temporary shelters. And then folks call the police on them because they are loitering or sleeping illegally.”
He added: “Just today, I ran across a homeless man with a walker and visual impairments. He has had two strokes. He rides my bus, but today I saw him on my day off, standing outside Wild Roots grocery store in Felton. I have seen him there before. The last time he almost capsized off the edge of the curb while trying to leave after being kicked off the property. This man is a sweet older man who is quietly desperate and stands outside the store with nowhere to go. He started crying when I asked him if he had any place to go.”

LOS ANGELES RAMS 26 – NEW YORK GIANTS 25…
The New York Giants came close to upsetting the red-hot Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, but untimely missed throws, dropped passes, missed tackles, penalties, and missed kicks hurt the team. The Giants lost 26-25, falling to 5-11 on the season with one more game to play.
In terms of overall team stats, the Rams held slight advantages in first downs (22 to 17), total net yards (391 to 389), net yards passing (286 to 284), and time of possession (30:11 to 29:49). Both teams rushed for 105 yards. The Giants won the turnover battle 3 to 1.
The Rams received the football to start the game, gained 54 yards on 10 plays, but had their 4th-and-3 passing attempt from the New York 21-yard fall incomplete, turning the ball over on downs. The Giants went three-and-out on their first possession. The Rams then responded with an 8-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard run for a touchdown by running back Kyren Williams. Rams 7 – Giants 0.
The Giants tied the game on their second offensive possession with a 9-play, 75-yard drive. The Giants overcame a 3rd-and-4 and 3rd-and-6 before a 24-yard end-around for the score by wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson early in the 2nd quarter.
After both teams exchanged punts, the Giants got the ball back when safety Dane Belton intercepted an overthrown pass by quarterback Mathew Stafford. However, the Giants gave the ball right back to the Rams after a failed 4th-and-1 conversion attempt at the New York 46-yard line. Eight plays later, Stafford threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to make the score 14-7.
The last 1:44 of the first half was eventful. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s deep pass intended for wide receiver Darius Slayton was intercepted at the Los Angeles 27-yard line. On the very next snap, Stafford completed a 16-yard pass over the middle, but cornerback Adoree’ Jackson forced a fumble that was recovered by Belton, setting up New York at the Rams’ 43-yard line. The Giants managed to gain 30 yards in the last 58 seconds to set up a 31-yard field goal as time expired. (The first attempt was blocked however the Rams were flagged with a leaping penalty).
At the half, the Rams led 14-10.
The Giants gained one first down and crossed midfield, but were forced to punt after Taylor was sacked on the team’s first drive of the second half. Then on 3rd-and-4 from the Los Angeles 18-yard line, Stafford completed a short pass to wide receiver Puka Nacua that he broke for an 80-yard gain to the New York 2-yard line. Williams scored on the next play. The Rams missed the extra point. Rams 20 – Giants 10.
After both teams exchanged punts again, the Giants overcame a 3rd-and-10 with an 11-yard completion to tight end Darren Waller. On the next snap, Taylor threw a beautiful deep pass to Slayton that was completed for an 80-yard touchdown. However, place kicker Mason Crosby missed the extra point and the Giants trailed 20-16.
Momentum continued to shift in the Giants direction as Belton intercepted his second pass on Los Angeles’ ensuing possession, setting up the Giants at the Rams’ 34-yard line. The Giants converted on 4th-and-1 at the 25-yard line, reached the 10, but were pushed back and forced to settle for a 32-yard field goal. The Giants now only trailed by one point early in the 4th quarter, 20-19.
Here is where momentum quickly shifted back to the Rams. The Giants defense allowed a quick, 3-play, 75-yard score with two chunk plays, including a 37-yard pass by Stafford and a 28-yard touchdown run by Williams. The Rams missed the extra point again, but now extended their lead to 26-19 with 12 minutes to play.
The Giants gained two first downs and reached the Los Angeles 42-yard line, but were pushed back with another sack. After an 18-yard gain on 3rd-and-19, the Giants went for it on 4th-and-1, however Taylor’s completion to wide receiver Jalin Hyatt lost a yard, turning the ball over on downs at the Rams’ 34-yard line. Both teams then exchanged punts again.
With 4:46 left to play, the Rams began another possession, gained a first down, but then Stafford was sacked on 3rd-and-7 by inside linebacker Bobby Okereke and defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches. The ensuing punt was fielded by wideout Gunner Olszewski, who broke a tackle en route to a 94-yard score. Trailing by one point, 26-25, Head Coach Brian Daboll went for two. Unfortunately, Taylor badly missed a wide open running back Saquon Barkley for what should have been an easy 2-point conversion.
The Rams got the ball back with 3:27 left to play. On 3rd-and-9, linebacker Isaiah Simmons sacked Stafford for a 10-yard loss. After the punt and a 10-yard holding penalty on cornerback Darnay Holmes, the Giants had the ball on their own 35-yard line with 1:08 left to play. Barkley dropped a pass, but Taylor then scrambled for 31 yards to the Los Angeles 34-yard line. Taylor decided to spike the ball with 43 seconds left, losing a down. Oddly, the Giants ran the ball to Barkley with no timeouts. Worse, this play lost two yards. Taylor’s 3rd-and-12 pass was incomplete. Crosby’s 54-yard field goal came up short with 30 seconds to play and the Rams ran out the clock.
Taylor finished the game 27-of-41 for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also was the team’s leading rusher with 40 yards on six carries. Robinson caught six passes for 55 yards and rushed for a 24-yard touchdown. Waller had five catches for 51 yards and Slayton had four catches for 106 yards and a touchdown. Barkley was held to 39 yards on 12 carries.
Defensively, Okereke led the team with 10 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a tackle for a loss. Simmons and linebacker Jihad Ward each had a sack and Nunez-Roches had a half-sack. Belton picked off two passes and recovered a fumble.
GAME VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS are available on YouTube.
ROSTER MOVES, PRACTICE SQUAD ELEVATIONS, INACTIVES, AND INJURY REPORT…

Rajkumar Hirani's '
Dunki' starring
Shah Rukh Khan released in theatres on December 21, after much anticipation from fans. The film has managed to do decent at the box office and is about to cross the Rs 200 crore mark in India. However, the industry and fans had expected more from a collaboration between Raju Hirani and SRK. This was their first collaboration and Hirani has collaborated earlier with Aamir for '3 Idiots' and '
PK'.
In a recent interview, the filmmaker pointed the similarities and differences in the working styles of both these superstars. The director said that the similarity between Shah Rukh and Aamir is that they're both hard working and very committed to their films. Their processes are very different and every actor will come with a different process of working. While someone may be impromptu, another actor may be wanting to discuss a lot. So, their styles are different but their commitment level is the same, said Hirani during a conversation with Pinkvilla.
In the same interview, he had also revealed that he's been wanting to work with Shah Rukh since a very long time. He said that he had this desire to work with him ever since he saw SRK in his television series. At that point, Hirani was a student at film institute. Hirani revealed that he had thought, that when he's out of the institute, he would work with SRK since he's also knew and nobody else would work with the director. But by the time, he graduated from the film institude, Shah Rukh was already a big star, said Hirani.
'Dunki' starred Taapsee Pannu alongside Shah Rukh. The film also had Boman Irani and Vicky Kaushal.

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.

— The Denver Post (@denverpost) December 31, 2023
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.

Is daboll’s canary in the coal mine….he may value familiarity over new talent and his 32nd ranked offense, also leading the league in three and outs is directly connected to his familiar buddies Kafka and Johnson. They MUST GO unless they are planning on a repeat of 5-12 in ‘24, cause we saw their ceiling….and if they stay, and repeat their incompetence….Dabs gotta not be around in ‘25.
You'd prefer Tayrod to throw it in the dirt in front of the WR like on 3rd down or take the sack?
Barkley has broken a number of longish runs this year. He was virtually hit the the backfield - so your anger should be on the line being unable to make simple blocks.
He was close on a few of the hurries. Wink was dropping Thibs and Ojulari and even Ward into coverage.
I do not think Wink is the best DC for ERs. He likes his pressure from all kinds of angles and gaps.
In the end, they were getting lots of pressure today.
from having a really good game. At least he ran the guy down from behind. I think he is the kind of veteran who plays better when the team is in contention. He is an above average corner, and I hate to see the team open a new hole where they have a good player. He also likes it here.
But I suppose he'll be a cap cut. And most here will be glad to see him gone.
He missed some easy throws and took two bad sacks but he also made some huge throws downfield. He makes plays. That why he is easily Giants best QB. Giants would have scored 6 points and had 8 sacks today with Jones starting . Taylors problem has been injuries and inconsistency . Draft a QB , sign Brisset or TT, and show Jones the bench .
I'm just going to state my opinion and get off, but I think we are a
better team than most here think. We have no QB, and banged up OL, and yet we are playing tough against playoff teams each week. Get Neal healthy, add a G or two, get a legitimate QB, and we will be good
RE: Taylor has great pocket prescense and is elusive
Simply disagree. Constructing the roster is what GNs do, generally, and a first time head coach such as Daboll has nothing to make himself an exception to that rule.
Are you kidding me - Taylor gets harsher criticism than Jones? With Jones it is constant(deservedly so), but that does not exempt Taylor from getting called out.
Maybe this happens to other teams, but it's amazing to me how the Giants implode when they hit the 32-35 yard line. It's like clockwork. Penalty, sack or lose yardage on a running play.
has been the best QB this year, which just proves how bad our QB situation is. I wouldn't resign him. Nothing to do about Jones except how me makes it through next year healthy and has some trade value after the 2024 season. DeVito is at best a journeyman backup IMO.
Taylor was sacked six times today. The Giants have 77 sacks for the season, compared to 49 all last season. 50% increase in sacks, accompanied by more hits and pressures, makes it impossible to compare quarterback play last season with this season.
Jones was sacked “only” 5 times a game this season, compared to 2.75 times a game last season. Not saying that Jones is still our franchise quarterback, but he will be around next year, and he may surprise.
To be accurate, they won the Pats game (or at least prevented being tied) on a missed chip shot (33 yards) after Bill played for the field goal. You can't call that a defensive stop when the other offense did exactly what they wanted - easily gained 34 yards to get into easy FG range.
Dan Duggan
@DDuggan21
Matthew Stafford: "Got to give (the Giants) a lot of credit on defense and Wink. They present about as tough of looks as you can present to an offense in some of those situations."
Sean McVay: "I’ve got a ton of respect for Wink Martindale. He does a great job. I thought their players executed well."
125- I couldn’t agree more! The OLine ine the epicenter of our success or failure. Barkley plays his heart out. Run hard right to the last play ( in all games) he had a miss BFD. But he wasn’t the cause of the short game ending throw nor the sideline short pass, the short arm to Waller. Give any decent QB time and he will shred a defense. So if the front office takes an arm first they had better have plans for road graders at 2,3 or 4.
We always build a car with a great engine but either forget to put tires on it or bald tires. Match the pieces and we’ll do better. Happy new year 🎊 125.🍸
He didn't run him down. Belton pushed him out of bounds. One of many mistakes made by the highly paid play by play guy. Said the ball came out on one Rams run. Replay showed the runner never even bobbled it.
Yet if he doesn't somehow stay on his feet when he spins before going the distance, his most memorable play would have been misplaying the long put that went over his head, then grabbing it and losing two more yards. Turned a 50 yard punt into a net 73 yarder.
Wink has publically stated he does not care where the pressure comes from. He dropped Thibs, Ojulari and Ward in coverage to disguise his blitzes through the game. It sorta, kinda, worked today, didn't it?
Thibs runs but looks for others to make the tackle. This happened late in the game. He was trailing and could have left his feet to make the tackle but nope. He is no Carl Banks thats for sure. We could have done way better with that pick but fans will be trying to justify it and I have done so as well. Not happy with that guy.
RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Wow, Thibs was quiet again today
If you play as close as the NYG did today with clearly an inferior OL, no true #1 WR, and a backup QB some of the credit has to go to the staff and HC.
That group seems to be able to make in game adjustments but I'll accept an argument that there is room for improvement in play calling. (Let Kafka draw up the offensive game plan but have someone else call plays.)
RE: RE: Where did the ref place the ball after the slide?
if on this date next year, the giants are also 5-12....all the discussions will be pointed at 1) why did Johnson and Kafka return in '24.....2) who will they replace daboll with? Hope the future is not that.
RE: RE: RE: Where did the ref place the ball after the slide?
if you added a genuine quality wide receiver like Tee Higgins, then you'd have a pretty good unit: Higgins, Slayton, Robinson, and Hyatt.
Thibodeaux would be helped by adding an edge rusher to compelement him.
Better blocking from the tight ends.
For a player with no instinct for the game, I thought Simmons made some good plays when he was on the field.

The opening Sunday of this NFL season features a showdown of the top two selections in the 2015 NFL Draft -- Jameis Winston of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Marcus Mariota of the Tennessee Titans.
Like many No. 1 and No. 2 picks in draft history, the NFL careers of Winston and Mariota will be intertwined for as long as they play in the NFL (and, perhaps, even well beyond). As the two quarterbacks embark on what their respective teams and fanbases hope will be long and productive careers, we take a look at the worst 1-2 overall pick punches in the NFL draft's modern era.
1. 1992 - Steve Emtman and Quentin Coryatt
No. 1: Emtman to Colts | No. 2: Coryatt to Colts
Total combined games played: 132
Total combined Pro Bowls: 0
Total combined Super Bowl appearances: 0
Total combined Super Bowl wins: 0
The Indianapolis Colts had the first two picks in the 1992 NFL Draft, and it didn't go all that well for them. But, before we point fingers and laugh at the early-to-mid 1990s Colts and their draft adventures, let's remember that this overall draft class is arguably the worst in the past quarter century. Take a look at the players selected in the first round that year; a team was more likely to get a player who didn't come close to meeting expectations than one that had a productive career. Unfortunately for the Colts, they landed two players that didn't meet expectations. Emtman played just nine games over three injury-plagued years for the Colts. Coryatt's most famous play was a potential game-changing interception that he dropped against the Pittsburgh Steelers in that thrilling 1995 AFC Championship Game.
2. 1972 - Walt Patulski and Sherman White
No. 1: Patulski to Bills | No. 2: White to Bengals
Total combined games played: 228
Total combined Pro Bowls: 0
Total combined Super Bowl appearances: 0
Total combined Super Bowl wins: 0
Patulski has an unfortunate place in the rankings of the non-quarterbacks selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the modern era of the NFL draft (since 1967). White played 12 seasons in the NFL, and wound up with the Bills in the season after Patulski's final campaign with the team.
3. 1979 - Tom Cousineau and Mike Bell
Cousineau never played for the Bills, opting instead to play for the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes. When Cousineau decided to return to the NFL, the Bills traded him to the Cleveland Browns. While Couiseau's NFL career was brief (six seasons), Bell had a 12-year career spent entirely with the Chiefs. In 1984, Bell posted a career-high 13.5 sacks (Bell and the Chiefs' top pick in 1978, Art Still, combined for 28 sacks in 1984).
4. 1982 - Kenneth Sims and Johnie Cooks
Sims played eight seasons in the NFL, all for the Patriots, and was a member of the team that advanced to Super Bowl XX. However, with just 17 sacks over those eight years, Sims never lived up to the immense expectations that come with being the No. 1 overall selection in a draft. A year before the Colts got burned by selecting John Elway at No. 1 in the draft, the team took Cooks. Cooks played seven seasons for the team (five of which came after it relocated to Indianapolis), and registered a career-high 11.5 sacks in 1984.
5. 1990 - Jeff George and Blair Thomas
George had a long career in the NFL -- 12 seasons -- but played for five different teams (and then spent time with, but didn't play for, two others). In four seasons with the Colts, George threw 41 touchdowns and 46 interceptions. Thomas was a massive disappointment for the Jets, never reaching the 1,000-yard plateau. It also doesn't help that the second running back selected in the 1990 NFL Draft was Emmitt Smith, who went on todo somenice thingsfor the Dallas Cowboys. After George, the next three quarterbacks selected were 1989 Heisman winner Andre Ware to the Detroit Lions, Tommy Hodson to the New England Patriots and Peter Tom Willis to the Chicago Bears.
Also considered ...
2013 - Eric Fisher and Luke Joeckel
The 2013 NFL Draft is on the fast track toward recognition as one of the worst in NFL history. The first two players selected in this draft aren't aiding the class' case (though running backs Le'Veon Bell and Eddie Lacy are helping out), but there is still time for redemption for Fisher, Joeckel and others who might not have risen to fulfill pre-2013 draft promise at this point. Unfortunately for Fisher, however, the 2015 season isn't off to a promising start.

Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani who is currently enjoying the release of his recent directorial '
Dunki' starring Shah Rukh Khan along with Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani, has opened up about the plot similarity between 'Dunki' and 'Munnabhai Chale America' and his plans to make 'Munna Bhai 3.'
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Rajkumar Hirani stated that he wants to make one more but has been struggling with a the script for a long time.
The filmmaker revealed that he has many unfinished 'Munna Bhai' scripts lying with him and Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) keeps calling often that let’s make this film.
Eloborating further, Hirani added that he wants to do, but he doesn’t want to do anything which is substandard and doesn’t want to make for the heck of it thinking that people would come to see any Munna Bhai film, it’s not like that.
The filmmaker also revealed that he is struggling with a script, and has one great idea. He said at the idea level it's very great but still it has to be fleshed out and etched out. So of course Sanju yes we will make it someday.
When asked if the story of Munnabhai Chale America was also similar to Dunki as it revolved around Munna and Circuit wanting to go to America. Reacting to it, the director stated that was a completely different story. That story was basically in a nutshell about George Bush that time had made some statement, some anti-Muslim statement he had made, and the whole story was these guys got very upset with it.
Hirani mentioned that after going to America they wondered how would they talk to him so they thought of learning English)’, they made a trailer of learning English for a while but that was a completely fictional unreal story.

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.”

Director Rajkumar Hirani, amidst the varied responses to his recent film '
Dunki', shines a spotlight on the unexpected casting choice of Vicky Kaushal for a supporting role and its pivotal impact on the movie's success. Despite the mixed reviews, Vicky's performance stands out as one of the film's highlights, captivating audiences and critics alike.
Hirani revealed that initially, he had not intended to cast an established actor like Vicky for the side role in 'Dunki' and that he was preferring newcomers instead.
Recounting a conversation with stunt director Sham Kaushal, Vicky's father, Hirani mentioned the ideal suitability of someone like Vicky for the role of Sukhi but dismissed the notion due to the role's size compared to Vicky's lead roles.
However, a surprising turn of events occurred when Vicky himself reached out after hearing about this decision. Expressing his desire to take on the part, Vicky's initiative and dedication prompted Hirani to reconsider, leading to the actor's inclusion in the film. Hirani praised Vicky's portrayal, highlighting the significant impact a talented actor can bring to even a smaller role, acknowledging the difference Vicky made to 'Dunki'.
Prior to 'Dunki', Vicky Kaushal had delivered an acclaimed performance in Hirani's 'Sanju', where he portrayed the character Kamlesh alongside Ranbir Kapoor's Sanjay Dutt.

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.

Rajkumar Hirani's latest release '
Dunki' with
Shah Rukh Khan has been creating a lot of buzz since it released. It's the director's first collaboration with Shah Rukh and there's a huge section of the audience which has loved it, even though, the film has also got its fair share of criticism. As the filmmaker is doing several interviews, post the release of 'Dunki', in one of the interactions, he had said that he's looking forward to collaborating with Ranbir Kapoor again, post 'Sanju'.
He had also said that he's also having some scripts in hand for the same.
That made fans excited as speculations began that actor-director will collaborate again. However, Hirani has put an end to these speculations now. The director said during a chat with Pinkvilla that nothing is finalised at the moment. He said that he keeps discussing what he's working on with every actor he meets. If he meets Aamir, he asks, 'What's happening' and that's what happens if he meets SRK or Ranbir. Hirani said he keeps discussing the scripts he's working on, with every actor he meets because he's friends with them. However, there's nothing concrete happening at the moment, clarified Hirani.
Meanwhile, Hirani spoke about working with SRK and revealed that he's been wanting to work with him, ever since he had seen him in his television show. At that point, Hirani was studying at the Film Institute and thought that he will graduate from there and work with Shah Rukh, since no other big star would want to work with a new director. However, Hirani said that by the time he came out of film institute, Shah Rukh was already a big star!

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

The team is thought to have a development deal of some sort in place with highly-rated teenager as it looks to grow its own talent.
Part of the tie-up between DJR and Allen was a wildcard appearance at the 2023 Bathurst 1000, Allen teaming up Simona de Silvestro in a third Shell-backed Mustang.
Allen impressed during that Bathurst weekend, particularly in Thursday’s co-driver practice session when he was fourth fastest.
He and de Silvestro then got the car home 20th in the race.
According to DJR CEO David Noble, Allen did all the team asked of him throughout the wildcard campaign.
“Massive tick,” he told the KTM Summer Grill.
“I think he’s ticked all the boxes, internally, for what we were looking for. Before I got here, [team manager] Benny Croke had had him in an evaluation day, and Benny was really impressed with him.
“We spoke to him in detail at the beginning of this year. I guess it was like a full interview around him as an individual, his background, what his aims and aspirations were.
“For us it was about Kai getting his backside in the seat, getting some experience, getting around the Mountain safely. He showed some reasonable speed. He had a great partner in Simona, they brought the car back clean.
“It was great experience and he’s a rising talent, there’s no doubt about that.”
In terms of what the future looks like for DJR and Allen, those are discussions that are happening now – however Noble is happy to admit that he wants Allen as part of his team.
The details of how that looks, amid speculation Allen will shift into one primary entries for the enduros as soon as 2024, are part of the discussions.
“We’re in that discussion at the moment, what that looks like for him, what that looks like for us going forward,” Noble explained.
“It would be silly for us to have invested in him in that wildcard without having some aspiration of where that’s going to look like going forward.
“What it looks like in the next 12 months to two, three, four years? We’re probably still in the early points of discussion. But we’d like to think that there’s some connectivity that we can work with Kai in the future, for sure.”
As for next year, Noble has a clear idea on what he wants to see from Allen.
While he is already a Super2 champion, it could be argued that Zak Best and Ryan Wood were the fastest drivers in the second tier during 2023.
Next year, Noble wants Allen to be setting the pace.
“Improvement; you want to see him continue to grow,” he said.
“We’d like to see him win the Super2 championship again, at a greater level. Try and get to the stage where he’s the dominant driver in that category.
“For me, talent goes in four stages – developing, emerging, established and consolidated. He’s very much in that early phase of development, and with development you have those peaks and troughs, they bounce up and they fall over.
“It’s about what they learn to continue to be challenged to move forward. That’s the main thing. For him to continue to find that edge to how far he can push it.”
For more from David Noble, watch the full episode of the KTM Summer Grill.

Team USA captain Rutger McGroarty (Michigan) tallied a hat trick and was one of 16 players to contribute points, while Trey Augustine (Michigan State) had 38 saves to lead the U.S. National Junior Team to a 10-2 win Sunday over Slovakia in its final preliminary-round game of the 2024 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship at Frolundaborg in Gothenburg, Sweden.
“I thought we played extremely well overall,” said David Carle (Denver), head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team, in a statement. “To kill that five-minute major was huge and Trey (Augustine) was great during that stretch and in the game overall. We’re continuing to build and now we’re on to the next phase with the quarterfinals.”
With the victory, Team USA won Group B and will face the fourth-place finisher of Group A in the quarterfinals on Tuesday at 5 p.m. local/11 a.m. EDT.
McGroarty opened the scoring 6:21 into the contest when he crashed the net, gathered the rebound off a shot from Oliver Moore (Minnesota) and capitalized with a wrap-around goal to give Team USA a 1-0 lead.
At the 8:57 mark, Slovakia’s Marian Mosko (Cornell) leveled the tally with a shot from the blue line that deflected off a U.S. stick and in.
Just 1:16 later, Team USA regained the lead. Zeev Buium (Denver) weaved through the Slovakian defense from the point and rifled a shot five-hole with a toe-drag release. Gavin Hayes and Sam Rinzel (Minnesota) added helpers on the play.
Augustine was sharp in the period, making 11 saves, including a point-blank stop of Jozef Kmec with 30 seconds left in the period and Slovakia in the middle of a five-minute power play.
Gavin Brindley (Michigan) scored short-handed to put Team USA up 3-1 just 29 seconds into the middle frame after picking up a loose puck in the defensive zone and going coast-to-coast, including dangling past a Slovakian defender before finishing with a top-shelf snipe.
With 2:10 remaining in the second, Filip Mesar made it a one-goal game, scoring a power-play goal on a wrist shot from the right circle that took a slight deflection off a skate and in.
Team USA responded with two quick goals in the following 1:03 of action. Will Smith (Boston College) found Ryan Leonard (Boston College) in the slot, who blasted a shot glove-side into the top corner with just under two minutes to go. McGroarty then picked up his second tally of the game to put the U.S. up 5-2 with 1:07 remaining in the frame, capitalizing with a one-timer off a cross-ice feed from Drew Fortescue (Boston College).
McGroarty completed his hat trick 4:06 into the third period. Cutter Gauthier (Boston College) made a spinning pass from behind the net to find McGroarty at the bottom of the right circle, who roofed it far-side to give Team USA a 6-2 lead.
Isaac Howard (Michigan State) added to the tally at the 5:49 mark with a one-time blast from the top of the circles. Danny Nelson (Notre Dame) and Brindley recorded assists on the play.
At 9:15, Eric Pohlkamp (Bemidji State) extended the U.S. lead with a one-time slap shot from the point. Gauthier then made it 9-2 with 9:00 to go after batting home a rebound on the power play.
Howard picked up his second of the game with 7:42 remaining to cap off the 10-2 victory.
NOTES: McGroarty was named U.S. Player of the Game … Team USA outshot Slovakia 44-40 … Team USA and Slovakia were both 1 for 3 on the power play … Eight players recorded multi-point games, including McGroarty (3-0—3), Gauthier (1-2—3), Lane Hutson (0-3—3), Howard (2-0—2), Brindley (1-1—2), Buium (1-1—2), Ryan Chesley (0-2—2) and Nazar (0-2—2).

Finding the perfect telescope can be a challenge. With all the different options and features available, it’s important to know what to look for in order to make an informed decision. While telescopes have become more affordable and advanced in recent years, there are still important factors to consider before making a purchase.
Aperture is Key
One of the most important aspects to consider is the aperture of the telescope. The aperture refers to the size of the light-collecting lens or mirror, and the bigger it is, the more light the telescope can gather. This translates to the ability to see fainter objects in the night sky. A larger aperture also allows for sharper and more detailed images. However, there is a limit to how large the aperture should be, as Earth’s turbulent atmosphere can blur images when the aperture exceeds 150mm.
Refractor or Reflector?
When choosing between a refracting telescope (which uses lenses) or a reflecting telescope (which uses mirrors), it depends on your interests and budget. Refracting telescopes are great for viewing objects on Earth and in the sky. They are compact and ideal for low magnification views. However, larger refracting telescopes can be more expensive and may suffer from chromatic aberration, which causes color fringing around stars.
On the other hand, reflecting telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration and tend to be larger. They use mirrors to focus light and are often more cost-effective options for larger apertures. Dobsonian telescopes are a popular choice in this category due to their simplicity and affordability.
The Mount Matters
Another important consideration is the mount of the telescope. There are two main types: equatorial and alt-azimuth mounts. Equatorial mounts have an axis aligned with the Earth’s axis and can compensate for its rotation. They are heavier, but essential for long exposure photography. Alt-azimuth mounts, on the other hand, have a vertical and horizontal axis and are cheaper and lighter. With the help of computers, alt-azimuth mounts can automatically track celestial objects.
The Finder Scope
Regardless of the telescope type, having a finder scope is highly recommended. This auxiliary scope helps with aligning and locating objects in the sky. It is especially important for larger telescopes, but can also be useful for smaller ones.
In conclusion, when buying a telescope, consider the aperture, type (refractor or reflector), mount, and the addition of a finder scope. With the right equipment, you can embark on an exciting journey exploring the wonders of the universe.
FAQ
1. How does the aperture affect telescope performance?
The aperture of a telescope determines the amount of light it can gather. A larger aperture allows for better visibility of fainter objects and produces sharper and more detailed images.
2. What is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope uses lenses to focus light, while a reflecting telescope uses mirrors. Reflecting telescopes tend to be larger and do not suffer from chromatic aberration, whereas refracting telescopes can be more compact but may suffer from color fringing.
3. What is the advantage of an equatorial mount over an alt-azimuth mount?
Equatorial mounts are designed to compensate for the Earth’s rotation, making them ideal for long exposure photography. Alt-azimuth mounts are cheaper and lighter, and with the help of computers, they can automatically track celestial objects.
4. Why is a finder scope important?
A finder scope helps locate and align objects in the sky, making it easier to point the telescope. It is especially useful for larger telescopes, but can also benefit smaller ones.

Arguably, that could have been F1’s first perfect season, only for Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to wipe out one another on the opening lap of the Spanish Grand Prix.
Beyond that, Hamilton suffered an engine failure 16 laps from the chequered flag whilst leading the Malaysian Grand Prix, denying Mercedes what could also then have been statistically the best season in F1 history in terms of wins-to-races percentage.
Seven years on from that crushing Mercedes campaign, it is Red Bull that can now claim to possess the best record in F1, winning 21 of 22 races in 2023 for a 95.45 percent success race, beating the 35-year-old mark of McLaren when it won 15 of 16 grands prix for its 93.75 percent benchmark.
Like Mercedes in 2016, Wolff knows Red Bull, with its stranglehold on the sport, is in a luxurious and enviable position that makes what could unfold in 2024 an obvious concern – that its supremacy will continue.
“They will have started next year’s car way ahead of everybody else,” said Wolff, speaking to select media, including Speedcafe.
“If we were in their situation, looking at our historic strategy, we would have probably been all hands on deck by July on next year’s car.
“That’s a month and a half earlier than us, so when you calculate the gains that you make, in aero alone, you are talking about a couple of tenths.”
It is known there was no development on Red Bull’s all-conquering RB19 after the summer break, yet it still won – via champion Max Verstappen alone – nine of the 10 races.
Wolff revealed the earliest his team started work on new machinery was the “beginning of July…where we had all groups on next year’s car”.
As to the benefits Red Bull will feel next season, Wolff said: “You get out of the blocks in a good way, you’re leading, you’re the benchmark, you understand the car, and you’re adding performance.
“You put an aero update on the car and it materialises as you expected, and then you’re in the lead by half a second.
“We were there. You’re in a cycle of positivity where you’re gaining an advantage, and this is the headwind we are facing at the moment.
“We haven’t won the last two championships and, in that respect, our car just needs to come out of the blocks running well.”
Wolff can only hope that what he describes as “the law of diminishing returns” works against Red Bull, whereby it starts to run out of steam with its understanding of the current ground-effect aerodynamic regulation set.
Rival team principal Christian Horner is convinced there will be greater convergence next season, and that Red Bull will not have it all their own way during a record-breaking 24-race calendar.
Wolff would dearly love to believe Horner is right, and that the “development curve, or performance curve, flattens”.
He added: “The more mature the regulations, the more you can extract.
“Maybe our development curve, because we are behind, is still steeper, but that is industrial theory. Whether you can apply it to the world of sports, I’m not quite sure.”
At least tipping his hat to what Red Bull has achieved, he said: “It’s good engineering.
“Their engineering team has just done a good job. They came out of the block, for whatever reason, much better than everybody else, and they have a driver who’s on top of his game.”
In contrast, Mercedes has so far failed to fully get to grips with the nuances of the current rules.
In 2022, and like many other teams, it had to cope with the renowned porpoising effect, with its cars bouncing up and down to such an extent that drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were suffering from back pain at the end of a grand prix.
It slowly engineered itself into a position where it managed to win the penultimate race of the season in São Paulo, but that only masked the deficiencies of the car and steered the technical team down a cul-de-sac, misguided in the belief it was finally on the right track.
Following qualifying in the first race of this year in Bahrain, the errors of its ways were apparent, leading to the realisation it effectively had to rip things up and start again. Next year’s W15 will be the result of its developmental change in direction.
For 2023, stymied by the cost cap and unable to fast-track changes, Mercedes tinkered and toyed with ideas, seeking to gain a greater understanding of the rules in the hope of being in a better position for 2024.
Assessing why it has been so difficult to be consistent, with his team ending 2023 without a win for the first time in 12 years, Wolff said: “The aero works completely differently.
“You have a ground-effect car that we didn’t have before. They are, therefore, aerodynamically more fragile.
“On top of that, you have a tyre that needs to be in exactly the window for it to perform, and we’re talking a few degrees up or down.
“If you have a predictable car, that is stable, and has a good solid platform, then you’re struggling less in terms of tyre sliding and degradation. It’s a vicious circle.”
It is no wonder Wolff was forced to describe the past year as “tough”, not quite as bad as 2022 due to his team “not fishing in the dark” as much as then.
Wolff believes the overall results, with Mercedes garnering a small degree of respectability by finishing second in the constructors’ championship, did not show the team was “moving forward with the car and its understanding for next year”.
The W15 will be completely new, “with a different chassis, different aero characteristics, different suspension”, said Wolff. “Everything that you can change, we’ve changed.”
As to how it will fare on track, Wolff is naturally cautious, particularly given the aforementioned advantage he feels Red Bull will possess.
“The results so far in the virtual world are positive, but we need to be careful in terms of managing our expectations,” he said.
“We need such a step to catch up and fight for a championship but, obviously, when you do a radical step, that can also mean lots of new learning.”

2023 proved to be a fantastic year, marked by exciting releases from Ford Motor Company and a plethora of aftermarket products tailored for these impressive rides. We’ve seen an explosion in the classic truck market and first-generation Mustang community. While one might expect our most viewed stories to focus on these highlights, it turns out that the peculiar stories captured the most attention. Personally, I never imagined a Pinto would claim the top spot, but here we are! Without further ado, here are the top five stories from Ford Muscle.
5. Sleeper F-150
The concept of a sleeper vehicle seems to captivate everyone, perhaps due to the surprising emotions it elicits when a seemingly ordinary vehicle turns out to be unexpectedly fast. In a noteworthy collaboration, Town And Country joined forces with TC Customs to craft a Sleeper F-150 that quickly gained traction online.
The truck started as a base model F-150 single cab with the unmistakable 5.0-liter Coyote engine beneath its hood. Town and Country elevated it by incorporating several supercharger packages, including offerings from Roush and Whipple. The result is a 705-horsepower monster that could easily be mistaken for a handyman’s work truck.
4. Cobra Vic
While scrolling through Facebook one night, I stumbled upon a dealership that had recently acquired a Ford Crown Victoria. This Crown Vic wasn’t just a hopped-up ride belonging to someone’s grandfather; it turned out to be a Roush-built vehicle used at the Bob Bondurant School Of Racing.
The car boasted a Cobra engine, manual transmission, and was fully equipped with a roll cage. The original bench seat was swapped for two bucket seats, each fitted with safety harnesses. Exterior upgrades included replacement wheels and a subtle spoiler. Once this information went viral, I’m certain the dealership’s phones didn’t stop ringing.
3. Zero-Mile SOHC Cammer
Engines or vehicles with zero miles, but a considerable amount of time since their production always make for intriguing stories. This SOHC Cammer engine, while highly coveted despite its steep price tag, recently emerged as a remarkable auction piece. Surprisingly, this engine managed to endure decades without being sold until just recently. The online auction site successfully closed the deal at a whopping $140,000, making it a particularly expensive acquisition that we would love to witness starting up, regardless of the potential depreciation it might cause.
2. Saleen’s New Black Label Sportruck
Saleen, known for crafting Sportrucks since the 80s, took a bold step this year by introducing a new model based on the 2024 Ford F-150 Black Label Sportruck. In addition to Saleen’s signature touches, the company incorporated a Whipple supercharger, elevating the truck’s engine output to an impressive 775 horsepower. Showcased with a livery inspired by a previous Saleen race car, the powerhouse truck made a striking statement with its bold green and blue appearance.
1. A Pinto With A Pro Stock Problem
The Ford Pinto has often been the subject of jokes, owing to its compact size and the unfortunate fuel tank issues in the event of a collision, which only fanned the flames of dark humor surrounding the model. However, the owner of this particular Pinto chose to pay homage to one of the most iconic Pintos of all time — the Bob Glidden edition. While there were few details on decal placement and some other critical pieces, the owner realized he needed a source of information.
That source of information turned out to be the original Glidden Pinto, which was being sold at the January 2020 Mecum Auction in Kissimmee. The car was on display in Kissimmee for several days before it crossed the auction block, giving Randy and a friend time to crawl around the car, take photos, and make measurements. Now, if that’s not dedication, I’m not sure what is! This article ranked first place in our top five list for 2023.
A New Year
2024 is shaping up to be another exciting year for Ford enthusiasts, and we’re thrilled to discover which articles will steal the spotlight and make it into our top five of 2024. Will it be something quirky, high-speed, or a showstopper? Perhaps a modern muscle car or a classic vehicle will take center stage? Only time will tell, but rest assured, we’ll be there to bring you the content everyone is eager to see!

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.”

‘Flash’ has spent the majority of his motorsport career to date in a team run by famous father Paul Morris, including a title-winning Super3 campaign in 2021 and the subsequent two seasons in Super2.
However, after dipping his toe in Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge with success last year, he will contest the 2024 Porsche Carrera Cup Australia season with Scott Taylor Motorsport.
While Paul is a four-time Australian Super Touring Champion and a Bathurst 1000 winner, who has helped to develop talents such as 2023 Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki and 2023 Sandown 500 winner Broc Feeney, Nash felt a need to go his own way.
He explained on the KTM Summer Grill, speaking before the STM deal was done, “I think what I need to do is stop driving for our own team, our family-run team, and try and find a team that’ll run me.
“It’s pretty hard when you go in there and you work on the car; when you drive it, you’re a bit worried about banging it up, so I think that’s our biggest problem at the moment.”
Nevertheless, Morris junior does not believe the experience has harmed him so far.
Morris senior believes Kostecki’s mechanical brain was key to his maiden Supercars title last year, and son Nash agrees.
“To go racing, Dad basically said that you’ve got to do your mechanical apprenticeship,” he recalled.
“I completed that [in 2022], which was great – I got to fix my own car if I make a mishap in it – but it definitely gives you a bit of an understanding of what’s going on underneath you.
“You can actually pinpoint what’s going on sometimes, especially if you know how it all works underneath that car.”
The 2024 Carrera Cup Australian season commences at the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix on March 21-24.

It doesn’t take much to discern our preference for a particular motor vehicle company here at Ford Muscle. Needless to say, whenever Ford issues an embargo or we receive notice of a major event, excitement ensues. While certain items may remain distant dreams beyond our budgetary limits, others immediately resonate with us due to their potential use in one of our builds. Here, we present the most significant announcements from Ford Motor Company in 2023!
The Iron Coyote
Although the Iron Coyote engine block was announced a few years ago, it was only recently unveiled to the public for sale at the 2023 PRI show. It stands out as the first and only engine crafted from iron that is built upon the foundation of the Coyote engine. While we’ve witnessed some remarkably high-horsepower builds utilizing the aluminum blocks with sleeves, iron blocks are inherently known for their robust strength. We are eagerly anticipating the applications and power potential of these iron blocks and are keen to see the impressive results they can achieve!

I am an avid truck enthusiast, and the addition of a supercharger to one only deepens my passion. Ford Performance scored a major win with the release of their FP700 kit, catapulting the Coyote engine to an impressive 700 horsepower, all while maintaining the factory warranty! This kit features the Whipple Gen-5 3.0-liter supercharger, and the tuning and calibrations were expertly managed through a collaboration between Ford Performance and Whipple Superchargers. Needless to say, taking a ride in this truck was a definite highlight for me!
2024 Mustang FP800 Package
Capitalizing on the triumph of the FP700 kit, Ford Performance extended their dominance with a new supercharger kit tailored for the 2024 Mustang GT. Collaborating once more with Whipple Superchargers, the kit took a transformative turn by adopting the latest and enhanced Whipple Gen-6 3.0-liter supercharger. This upgrade harnessed even more power, elevating the overall output to an impressive 800 horsepower from the Gen-4 Coyote engine. Additionally, the Whipple kit maintained the dual air filters, providing increased intake surface area and improved airflow.
Dark Horse R
When Ford unveiled the S650 lineup, they had a special surprise in store. Not only were they ushering in a new generation of Mustangs featuring the EcoBoost and GT, but they also introduced a 500-horsepower Dark Horse, with promises that this car would be deployed in a racing series. Although the prospect of more Ford cars hitting the track was exciting, enthusiasts had to exercise patience until 2023 when Ford officially announced its commitment to a Dark Horse R series.
This endeavor would provide the pony car with the opportunity to race across five tracks, concluding with a sweepstakes event that grants drivers seat time behind either a GT3 or GT4 car, contingent on their final standings. The entire initiative was executed in collaboration with the IMSA racing series. If you happen to have $145,000 in discretionary funds, the prospect of racing a Dark Horse R around tracks in America doesn’t seem like a poor investment.
GT4 Breaks Cover
Continuing Ford’s commitment to competitiveness across all racing tiers, they introduced the Mustang GT4. Positioned between the Mustang GT3 and the upcoming, at the time, Mustang Dark Horse R, the Mustang GT4 made its debut at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. Ford aimed for global representation in GT4 classes across IMSA, SRO, and FIA GT with the unveiling of the Mustang GT4.
Mustang GT3 Enters The Competition
Anticipating this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, the Ford Performance team unveiled its latest addition, the Mustang GT3. The car featured updated graphics for the FP global team and served as the cornerstone for maintaining a cohesive look throughout the entire Ford Performance vehicle lineup.
The Mustang GT3 will feature a 5.4-liter V8 based on the Coyote architecture but meticulously re-engineered to meet race standards by Ford Performance. The interior has been reoriented for racing, boasting a full digital dashboard, a carbon fiber steering wheel, a single Recaro racing seat, and extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the cockpit. If the Mustang GT3 piques your interest, you’ll be delighted to know that a comprehensive docuseries is set to release, chronicling the journey taken by Ford Performance to bring the car to its present state.
Mustang GTD
While the seventh-generation Mustang garnered considerable attention throughout the year, nothing matched the buzz generated when internet rumors hinted at a possible street-legal, 800-horsepower, $300,000 mid-engine vehicle in the works at Ford through Multimatic. While the rumors were partially accurate — the engine still remained in front of the driver — the rest was remarkably on point. Everyone’s jaws dropped when the official announcement confirmed that Ford and Multimatic were collaborating on the Mustang GTD that surpassed track rules, and it would not only be sold with a VIN tag, but also come with a title!
As Jim Farley was quoted as saying, “The Mustang GTD shatters every preconceived notion of a supercar. This is a new approach for us. We didn’t engineer a road car for the track, we created a race car for the road. Mustang GTD takes racing technology from our Mustang GT3 race car, wraps it in a carbon fiber Mustang body, and unleashes it for the street.”
What will 2024 Hold
It appears that 2022 and 2023 spilled the beans on many of Ford’s latest offerings, but the anticipation for the future is palpable. Will Ford unveil a supercharged version of the Megazilla? Might the Iron Coyote find its way into a drag racing class? Perhaps an Editor’s challenge around Circuit Of The Americas? Alright that last one is a stretch, but these questions will have to wait until next year, Nevertheless, the excitement remains, showcasing that the Blue Oval has not forsaken the realm of high-performance gas vehicles and has fulfilled their racing commitments for the S650 Mustang!

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.

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.

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has captured astonishing images of Jupiter’s moon Io, revealing a violent and tumultuous world. The images, the best ever taken of the moon, offer a glimpse into the intense volcanic activity on Io, which surpasses anything witnessed on Earth.
Juno recently completed its closest flyby of Io, reaching within a mere 930 miles of the moon’s pockmarked surface. The six images captured during this pass provide unprecedented insights into the moon’s volcanic landscape.
Io’s volcanic activity stems from the gravitational forces exerted by Jupiter and its other three giant moons—Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. These immense gravitational pulls cause Io to experience intense tidal heating and frictional forces, resulting in a tumultuous 42-day orbit around Jupiter.
Scientists believe that this constant friction produces an ocean of molten magma beneath Io’s rocky exterior. Among the most remarkable features discovered is Loki Patera, an expansive volcanic depression and a highly energetic hotspot that is home to a vast lava lake or sea.
While Jupiter’s other moons, including Europa and Ganymede, have missions planned for future exploration, Io has not yet been included in any upcoming space mission. Despite its volcanic activity and scientific significance, Io remains uncharted territory for now.
In the past, NASA has considered several missions to Io, including the Io Volcano Observer (IVO). However, these proposals have not progressed beyond the planning stages, with missions to Venus taking priority in recent decisions.
As Juno continues its mission around Jupiter, it is set to make a total of 11 close passes, or perijoves, in 2024. The upcoming perijove on February 3 will mark the spacecraft’s second and final close flyby of Io.
This new discovery of Io’s volcanic activity underscores the incredible diversity and complexity of our solar system. As we push the boundaries of exploration, humanity stands on the brink of unraveling the mysteries of these distant worlds.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the cause of Io’s volcanic activity?
A: Io’s volcanic activity is primarily caused by the intense gravitational forces exerted by Jupiter and its three other giant moons—Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto.
Q: How does Juno capture these images of Io?
A: Juno utilizes its JunoCam instrument to capture high-resolution images of Jupiter and its moons during close flybys.
Q: Are there any future plans to explore Io further?
A: As of now, there are no upcoming space missions specifically targeting Io. However, there have been proposals in the past, such as the Io Volcano Observer (IVO), which were ultimately not selected for implementation.
Q: What is the significance of Loki Patera?
A: Loki Patera is one of Io’s most remarkable features—a large volcanic depression that contains a lake or sea of lava. Its high energy output makes it an area of great interest for scientists studying Io’s volcanic activity.
Q: How many close passes will Juno make around Jupiter in 2024?
A: Juno is scheduled to make a total of 11 close passes, or perijoves, around Jupiter in 2024, with the next flyby occurring on February 3.

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.”

In 2023, actor Sunny Deol witnessed mega success after over two decades with 'Gadar 2'.
The film saw Sunny reprising his role as Tara Singh from the iconic movie 'Gadar' (2001). The audience accepted the sequel with open arms and let Sunny's "dhai kilo ka hath" create history at the box office.
As 2023 has now come to an end, Sunny expressed gratitude to the audience for showering love on him and his film 'Gadar 2'.
Taking to Instagram, Sunny dropped a video showing the love audience heaped on Sunny during the release of Gadar 2. The video also showed his moments spent with his family.
"Grateful for #2023. Looking forward to #2024. Years change, but one thing remains constant, Your Love #HappyNewYear #NYE2023 #yearender #reelsinstagram #reelsindia," he captioned the post.
Besides Gadar 2, 2023 became special for Sunny for other reasons as well. His elder son Karan got married and his younger son Rajveer made his Bollywood debut with 'Dono'.
His father and legendary star Dharmendra won everyone's hearts with his performance in Karan Johar's directorial 'Rocky Aur RKi Prem Kahani'. His younger brother Bobby Deol, also, enthralled audience with his captivating performance as an antagonist in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial 'Animal'.
Now, it is needless to wonder why 2023 will always be etched in the heart of Sunny.
Speaking of Sunny's upcoming projects, he will be seen headlining Rajkumar Santoshi's film 'Lahore 1947'. Aamir Khan is producing it.
Sunny Deol celebrates Christmas with his teddy bear and the song ‘Jamal Kudu’
Sunny and Aamir have never worked together before this. But the duo have had very iconic box-office clashes as competitors in the past, where both have eventually emerged victorious. The first iconic clash at the ticket window was witnessed in 1990 when Aamir Khan's Dil and Sunny Deol's Ghayal were released on the same day. Then in 1996, it was 'Raja Hindustani' vs 'Ghatak' followed by the most epic Box Office clash of Indian cinema in 2001 when 'Lagaan' was released on the same day as 'Gadar'. Now, for the very first time, the duo have come together and joined hands on a project.

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.

In a stunning photograph taken by an astronaut on the International Space Station, the Sun can be seen rising above Earth’s horizon as the station orbits over the southern Indian Ocean. This captivating image offers a glimpse of Earth’s atmospheric layers and highlights the upcoming events in NASA’s Heliophysics Big Year.
The photo showcases Earth’s troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, appearing in shades of orange and red due to the scattering of light by particles such as dust, smoke, and smog. Above the troposphere lies the cloud-free, blue stratosphere, which extends up to 50 kilometers above the surface. Beyond the stratosphere is the mesosphere, completing the atmospheric layers displayed in the image.
The focal point of NASA’s Heliophysics Big Year, the Sun takes center stage in the photograph. This year-long celebration, starting with the annular solar eclipse in October 2023, will culminate in December 2024 with the Parker Solar Probe’s closest approach to the Sun. The upcoming total solar eclipse in April 2024, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada, will not only provide a captivating display, but also valuable research opportunities.
Scientists will have a chance to study the Sun’s effect on Earth’s ionosphere during the solar eclipse. The ionosphere, located between 80 and 600 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, plays a crucial role in supporting communication systems such as radio and GPS signals. This region also houses the International Space Station and various satellites in low Earth orbit.
While solar eclipses occasionally offer astronauts on the space station glimpses of the Moon’s shadow passing over Earth, the astronauts more commonly witness incredible sunrises, experiencing up to 16 of them every 24 hours.
The photograph, acquired on September 29, 2023, with a Nikon D5 digital camera, was taken by a member of the Expedition 70 crew. It has been carefully enhanced and cropped to improve contrast and remove lens artifacts. Through the ISS National Lab, the International Space Station Program supports the sharing of such images to serve scientists and the public alike. You can explore additional captivating images captured by astronauts and cosmonauts at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth.

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.

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.

Sunny Deol, known for the success of Gadar 2, talked about parenting in an exclusive chat with NDTV. He shared insights into his father Dharmendra's parenting style and revealed that they come from a strict family background. Sunny mentioned that during his school days, he wasn't allowed to go out after 7-8 pm, and he followed a similar approach with his sons Karan and Rajveer.
Sunny emphasized being strict, mentioning that he didn't allow his kids to have a cell phone until they finished school.
Sunny Deol further discussed his relationship with his father, Dharmendra, stating, "The fear factor should be there. My dad was a fear factor to me. If dad comes here, I will just get up and move and be completely shut. It is the way it is. That's the beauty of it." Sunny emphasized the importance of a healthy respect and fear element in the parent-child relationship, highlighting the impact it can have in maintaining discipline and a strong bond.
In addition to discussing his father Dharmendra, Sunny Deol also shared his thoughts on his younger sibling Bobby, who recently starred in the blockbuster film Animal. In an interview with NDTV's Abira Dhar, Sunny expressed his joy for Bobby, stating, "I am so happy for him. It was high time it happened, and people were not fair to him. I can say that. I cannot talk about myself but I can talk about him. Because he is nice, people said he is such a sweet boy and they will say all those things and nobody is doing anything." Sunny added, "I mean, they don't have to do anything, but they know his capacity. They know everything about him, but I feel somehow nobody wanted to let it happen."
Sunny Deol is widely recognized for his roles in blockbuster movies such as 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha', 'Ghayal', 'Damini', 'Darr', 'Border', and 'Tridev'. His impactful performances and iconic roles have established him as a prominent and enduring figure in the Indian film industry.
