NEW DELHI: Free agent right-hander Frankie Montas has inked a one-year, $16 million deal with the Cincinnati Reds, as reported by multiple outlets on Saturday.
Montas, 30, comes to the Reds after a challenging season in 2022, where he made only one appearance with the New York Yankees.
His campaign was cut short as he underwent surgery on the labrum in his pitching shoulder.
The upcoming season with the Reds provides Montas with an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to make a substantial impact.
Throughout his career, Montas has showcased his talents on the mound, amassing a 37-35 record with a 3.90 ERA in 130 games, of which 99 were starts.
He began his journey in the majors with the Chicago White Sox in 2015, followed by a stint with the Oakland A's from 2017 to 2022, before joining the New York Yankees in 2022-23.
The Reds are anticipating that Montas will bring both experience and skill to their pitching rotation, adding depth and versatility to the team. The one-year deal reflects a mutual commitment, allowing Montas to prove his capabilities and contribute significantly to the Reds' performance in the upcoming season.

By JOSEPH OPIGO
A pleasant winter’s eve brought us out to the lawns of the university campus. As I lamented the unavailability of transport for me to attend the Christmas carol service at St Andrews church Colchester a voice from the crowd of students responded, “I will take you there”.
He was a Palestinian who not only took me there but also participated in singing all the hymns that were called. At the end of the service as we came out of the church I inquired ‘I didn’t know you were a Christian ‘. He replied, he was a Muslim from Bethlehem where irrespective of ethnicity or religion they all take Jesus Christ as a highly revered hero of their land and together celebrate his birth as a holy event. He went on to inform me that the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat yearly went to Bethlehem to celebrate the Nativity —the holy birth of Christ.
Overwhelmed with a mixture of joy and pain I asked “ Why are we fighting then ?”
“Politics” , was his brief answer.
Ever since I have agonized over the politics of hate that has pervaded every land in the world resulting in wars amongst brethren. From Asia to Africa and Europe or in America all conflicts derive from the politics of hate. Where ethnicity, regionalism or religion has been used as a political tool to win elections, the polity gets infested with concealed bitterness ready to explode in anger at any moment . The Palestine – Israeli conflict that has persisted for decades is a product of the politics of hate where the brethren no more recognize themselves as children of the same Abrahamic roots — the Hebrew race.
The Roman colonizers named that land of the Hebrew Palestine while religion divided them into different faiths — Christian, Muslim and the Old Testament traditional Jewish Faith which the Zionists identify with the State of Israel . The politics of hate has taken advantage of these divisions and polarized them into two extremities that make discussion for peace almost impossible as their external supporters do nothing but stoke the fires of hate, and the Hebrew children continue to kill themselves. What a pity!
If only for a moment they can reason along the politics of love then they will be guided by the light in the words of Jesus Christ whose birth we yearly celebrate.
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.
Abraham whose children we all claim to be either by faith or by circumcision was a man of great meekness. He meekly submitted to God’s command and meekly submitted to his wife’s jealousy or nagging.
Meekly he let his nephew Lot to choose first the land before them. Meekness did not mean weakness for he bravely rescued Lot and his family from their abductors. Meekness promotes peace and therefore produces the peacemaker the child of God blessed to inherit the earth.
The politics of hate is a recruitment platform for satan’s army of warmonger generals whose bloodlust can only lead mankind to total extermination. Vengeance may be sweet but if it makes victims of the innocent then their blood will also call for vengeance and the cycle of hate continues.
This is the time for Solomonic wisdom to promote the Politics of Love in the land of the Hebrew, if not, the more victims and orphans the war produces, the more fighters are recruited for the politics of hate to continue the bitter war in generations to come.
The children who lost their lives, and some writhing in pain of injury or maimed, while others are orphans or grieving for friends and family….. DO THEY KNOW IT IS CHRISTMAS ?
Shalom
Joseph Opigo, a former lecturer Rivers State University, and Niger Delta University, writes from Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

Tel Aviv (agencies)
Yesterday, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the government’s approval to appoint Minister Eli Cohen to the position of Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, replacing Minister Israel Katz, so that Katz would occupy the position of Foreign Minister in place of Cohen.
The Netanyahu government also decided that Minister Eli Cohen would continue to serve as a member of the Ministerial Committee for National Security Affairs (the Mini-Ministerial Council for Political and Security Affairs).
These changes in duties among Netanyahu's government ministers require the approval of the Knesset (Parliament).
In another context, the Israeli government approved, yesterday, the postponement of the elections for local authorities again, for the second time, to February 27, 2024. The original date for holding the elections was October 30, but it was postponed to January 30 due to the security situation, before it was postponed for the second time.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, during the Cabinet session, that his recommendation is to hold local government elections at the end of February 2024.
Netanyahu's recommendation comes after the Israeli army warned the government, on Friday, that it would not be able to release 668 reservist soldiers, candidates in the local authorities elections, if they were held on their current date, January 30.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Security forces in Afghanistan killed a number of Tajik and Pakistani nationals and arrested scores others involved in attacks against religious clerics, the public, and mosques, a senior Taliban official said Sunday.
Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, Taliban’s appointed defense minister, during a press conference in the capital, Kabul, said dozens of Tajiks and more than 20 Pakistanis were killed in the past 12 months “in operations by security forces.”
He said scores of Tajiks and hundreds of Pakistanis involved in various incidents were also arrested during that period.
Mujahid called on neighboring and regional countries to strictly monitor their borders.
Tensions between Kabul and Islamabad spiked as hundreds of thousands of Afghans left Pakistan after authorities started pursuing foreigners they said were in the country illegally, going door-to-door to check migrants’ documentation, following an Oct.31 deadline.
Mujahid also said there has been a 90% decrease in attacks by an Islamic State group affiliate in the past year.
The militant group has carried out major assaults on schools, hospitals, and mosques, and has also attacked Shiite areas across the country.
The IS affiliate has been a major rival of the Taliban since the latter seized control of Afghanistan in August 2021. IS militants have struck in Kabul, in northern provinces and especially wherever there are Shiites, whom IS considers to be apostates.
Since taking power, the Taliban have barred women from most areas of public life and work and stopped girls from going to school beyond the sixth grade as part of harsh measures they imposed, as U.S. and NATO forces were pulling out of Afghanistan following two decades of war.

MA driver drove off the road on Autobahn 7 in East Hesse on Sunday morning, possibly for medical reasons. According to the police, the relief operation was made more difficult by problems with the emergency lane. “Some of the road users got out in a backlog, with children also running around between the vehicles. “Other vehicles used the emergency lane to make faster progress,” the officials complained.
The accident occurred on Sunday morning between the Fulda-Mitte junction and the Fuldaer triangle in the direction of Würzburg. The car had a license plate from the Osnabrück district. The 51-year-old driver was alone in the vehicle. According to the police, she veered off the road to the right at least twice and hit the guardrail. The car finally stopped in a grassy area on the right side of the road.
The driver initially received medical care on site. “Since the lady’s condition was unclear, a rescue helicopter was requested, which landed on the highway,” the rescue workers reported. The road was completely closed for about 40 minutes. Finally, the 51-year-old was taken to a hospital in an ambulance and the rescue helicopter did not have to take over the transport.
The investigation into the cause of the accident was ongoing in all directions, although a medical indication could not be ruled out, according to the police. The car suffered material damage amounting to around 10,000 euros. On this occasion, the police once again appealed to the common sense of road users to observe an emergency lane.

NEW DELHI: Four days after announcing her decision to return her Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna and Arjuna Awards, Asian and Commonwealth Games gold medallist wrestler Vinesh Phogat left her honours on a pavement at Kartavya Path here on Saturday evening.
Vinesh was heading towards the Prime Minister's Office in South Block to return her accolades when Delhi police stopped and requested her to leave.
Vinesh's decision follows Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Bajrang Punia's move to leave his Padma Shri medallion on Kartavya Path last Friday.
Bajrang posted a video on X of Vinesh walking on Kartavya Path holding her Arjuna award trophy and a letter addressed to PM Narendra Modi. The two have been protesting Sanjay Singh's election as the new president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) after his panel won 13 out of the 15 posts.
Singh is considered to be close to former WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexually harassing six female wrestlers.
Earlier, Rio Olympics bronze winner Sakshee Malikkh had announced her decision to quit wrestling in protest. Vinesh had announced her decision to return the awards in an open letter to the Prime Minister on social media on Tuesday.
WFI remains under suspension from the sports ministry for 'blatant violation of procedural norms' and 'appearing to be in complete control of former office-bearers'. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has formed a three-member ad-hoc committee to manage the day-today affairs of the wrestling federation.

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.

NEW DELHI: Cade Cunningham had a stellar performance, scoring 30 points and dishing out 12 assists, as the Detroit Pistons ended their record-tying 28-game losing streak by defeating the Toronto Raptors 129-127. This loss tied the
NBA record for the longest losing streak, matching the 28 consecutive losses that the Philadelphia 76ers had spanning the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Bojan Bogdanovic contributed 19 points, Jalen Duran had 18 points and 17 rebounds, and Kevin Knox II added 17 points for the Pistons, who managed to avoid going winless for two consecutive months.
Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 35 points, while Dennis Schroder supplied 30 points and nine assists, and Gary Trent Jr. had 24 points. Scottie Barnes added 22 points and nine rebounds.
The Pistons had a 52-44 halftime lead, but the Raptors, playing the second game of a back-to-back, fought back in the third quarter. Trent's outside shooting, including three 3-pointers, kept Toronto close, and Siakam's 20 points in the third quarter helped tie the game at 70 apiece.
Cunningham had a strong third quarter with 12 points and six assists, but he picked up his fourth foul. Bogdanovic's 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter gave
Detroit a 90-86 lead.
In the fourth quarter, the Pistons went on an 11-2 run, with Cunningham leading the way with a layup and a 3-pointer. While the Raptors made a late push, including a corner 3-pointer from Siakam, the Pistons held on for the 129-127 victory.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said China would “surely be reunified” with Taiwan during his televised New Year’s address, renewing Beijing’s threats to take over the self-ruled island, which it considers its own.
Taiwan split from China amid civil war in 1949, but Beijing continues to regard the island of 23 million with its high-tech economy as Chinese territory and has been ramping up its threat to achieve that by military force if necessary.
“China will surely be reunified, and all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose,” Xi said in his annual address, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
China has described Taiwan’s Jan. 13 presidential and parliamentary elections as a choice between war and peace.
Beijing considers the presidential front-runner, William Lai, who currently serves as vice president from the ruling Democratic People’s Party, a “separatist” and has accused him and Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen of trying to provoke a Chinese attack on the island.
On Saturday, Chen Binhua, spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, called Lai a “destroyer of peace” following a televised debate earlier that day in which Lai defended Taiwan’s right to rule itself as a democracy.
Chen said Lai’s discourse at the debate was “full of confrontational thinking,” adding that the vice president is “the instigator of a potential dangerous war in the Taiwan Strait.”
Lai had said during the debate that Taiwan is not subordinate to China and that he was open to communications with Beijing “as long as there is equality and dignity on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.” While Lai doesn’t describe himself as seeking independence from Beijing, he generally maintains Taiwan is already an independent country.
Lai’s election rivals include Hou Yu-ih from the more China-friendly Kuomintang party, and Ko Wen-je from the Taiwan People’s Party.

At the end of the year, no fewer than three exhibitions of Elina Brotherus' photographs were on display in Jyväskylä. Even though Brotherus is one of the most successful photo artists in Finland, the avalanche of his architecture photos mostly causes confusion.
in Jyväskylä has been on display at the end of this year Elina Brotherus photographic art In the Aalto2 museum center, the Jyväskylä Art Museum and the Center for Creative Photography. They are the most central art institutions in a medium-sized city in terms of fine art exhibitions. It is extraordinary that for months all three spaces are occupied by one artist.
What does the grandiose arrangement ultimately redeem artistically?
Brother has been photographing himself, for example Alvar Aalton and Viljo Revell in impressive architectural sites.
In the presentation of the exhibition, Brotherus' photographs are equated with architectural photography and the images are considered exceptional in the genre. To the viewer, they appear as rather typical commercial and personal-driven image production of this time, almost like from the world of Instagram.
One might think that only a museum institution separates pictures from an interior design magazine. The pictures are cold and still. Brotherus always has clothes that match the color scheme of the environment and a precise pose.
I understand very much the charm of Brotherus' pictures. They are technically very skilled. The light is fine and well thought out, the colors are in harmony, the settings and angles are in accordance with the familiar eyes and the canon. They do not challenge their viewers.
For example Iiu Susiraja also poses in performative images directly for the camera in artificial settings. The starting setting is similar to Brotherus, but the final direction is completely different.
A large Susiraja may put its neck under the toilet seat or the brush handle under the breasts. The lighting of the pictures is what hurts. The seeming thoughtlessness is certainly one big subject of charm in a time when everything can be built artificially and controlled precisely.
This in contrast, the exhibition complex in Jyväskylä feels outdated and unnecessarily massive. Brotherus' aesthetics would have become clear from just one exhibition. It seems presumptuous to give the Jyväskylä Exhibition Space to one respected artist, when many don't get the chance at all.
Every museum these days wants to announce that it has set a visitor record. Visitor records are usually created with established names.
This time Brotherus and the ageless Aalto are aiming for it, to which Jyväskylä has always had a blindly passionate attitude. Then you can ask, is the most important task of art museums today the manufacture of records or the construction of interesting exhibitions on the terms of art?
The author is a culture journalist.

NEW DELHI: LeBron James expressed frustration with the
NBA's replay process after a controversial call during the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. On his 39th birthday, James believed he made a game-tying 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining, but it was ruled a 2-pointer after review, and the Lakers lost 108-106.
“It’s obviously a 3,” James stated, arguing that his foot was behind the line.
He criticized the replay center's decision in Secaucus, New Jersey, saying, “You can clearly see a white, the wood on the floor, there’s a space in between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. So, you know, Stevie Wonder can see that, champ.”
James, who battled a non-COVID-19 illness, scored 26 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. He questioned the purpose of replay if the decision could still be incorrect, asking, “What do we have replay for if even the replay gets it wrong?"
Officials, including Tony Brothers, explained that the video review was not conclusive enough to overturn the call on the floor. James immediately contested the ruling, pointing to the replay monitor.
Reflecting on his illness, James mentioned waking up unwell and staying in bed until 4:30 p.m. before deciding to play. Despite feeling okay during the game, he remained uncertain about playing in the Lakers' next game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, depending on how he feels a day later.

12/31/2023 – 17:00
The publication of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (CVM) long-awaited regulatory framework for investment advisors was an emblematic moment for the sector this year, even though the rules will only prove to be more transformational later on. But this expectation, together with the scenario of falling interest rates contracted for 2024 – which should imply more work for professionals, with some return of investors' risk appetite – brings optimism in the segment's prospects next year.
“The year 2023 was another historic year in terms of regulatory advances and improvements. In the same way that, in 2022, we celebrate the law that reduced the inspection rate and changed the name [da profissão] for 'investment advisor', this year, the edition of CVM resolutions 178 and 179 was very well received by the market, with a first semester of great excitement”, says Francisco Amarante, superintendent of the Brazilian Association of Investment Advisors (Abai). Published on February 14, the resolutions included points such as the end of the exclusivity obligation with brokers, the permission to set up different company arrangements, the possibility of entry of capitalist partners and the requirement of a responsible director for the companies.
With most of the rules already widely expected, the documents were well received by the market at the time and led to some movements in recent months, such as the withdrawal of offices from becoming brokers and the entry of capitalist partners into consultancies.
For Bruno Ballista, partner and leader of the XP Inc. advisory and client relationship area, the new CVM rules were “the biggest news this year”, but highlights that “no regulatory framework revolutionizes the industry in a short space of time” . “The industry tends to adapt, know and understand how it will actually work, and then make decisions based on the new CVM instructions. There are many things to happen in the next two or three years anchored in the regulatory framework,” he says.
The process of understanding also involves clarifying the doubts of the agents involved, according to Amarante, from Abai. Together with BSM, the association prepared a “FAQ” (questions and answers document) seeking validation from the CVM for more than 66 questions about “the spirit of the resolution”. “It was a way we found to try to equalize the understanding of the resolutions”, says Amarante, adding that the doubts revolve around the interpretation and application of the rules.
“The change in regulations raises the issue of professionalism. Any office today that wants to have an investing partner will have to comply with governance, compliance and management rules. This is very positive for the advisory market and for end clients”, highlights Alexandre Cassiani, B2B leader at Guide Investimentos. According to the executive, some partner offices have already evolved in conversations with investors.
XP, in turn, began to take steps based on the new rules, with the announcement of a partnership with SVN Investimentos and Ável Investimentos. According to Ballista, the company continues to look at offices considering growth, alignment with partners and a clear value proposition. “We should continue to see turmoil in this market, and a cycle of consolidations will follow,” said Ballista.
For next year, one of the points that must be closely monitored is the issue of transparency in remuneration. “I don’t think this is going to be transformational from an operational point of view, with a race one way or the other. But anything that comes from transparency for the investor is healthy and strengthens the independent industry”, says Ballista, from XP. For Cassiani, from Guide, this will increasingly force advisors to align with their clients' objectives, which is positive for the class.
After more conservative markets, the bonanza
The market had been in a tight scenario since 2022, with the wave of the Ômicron variant of covid-19, the start of the war in Ukraine, the rise in interest rates around the world and the presidential elections in Brazil, which, in 2023, was reflected in a more conservative stance, in the assessment of Ballista, from XP, and Cassiani, from Guide. “All of this influenced the investor’s mood, and the person who lived with it was the advisor,” says Ballista.
But if until now the famous return of 1% per month was guaranteed with the security of fixed income, the drop in interest rates contracted for 2024 could make the investor take risks again in search of greater profitability, increasing portfolio diversification. “We enter 2024 optimistic. Those who fled the stock market throughout this year missed the November rally, so I think this gives more confidence to the investor, who will look for a specialist”, says Balista. “With falling interest rates, the client starts to move more, seek risk, and it is at this moment that the advisor is able to show good service”, adds Cassiani.
Resumption of hiring and more training
In an environment of higher interest rates, it is common for banking professionals not to make the decision to leave their position in search of independence, according to Ballista, from XP. Thus, what the company did last year was invest in training programs and hiring advisors, such as XP Future, in addition to acquiring a certification company, Melver. For 2024, not only must this commitment continue, but the hiring of talent must resume. “The growth of the distribution network will probably be at full steam”, bets Ballista.
The most recent figures from the National Association of Brokers and Distributors of Securities, Exchange and Commodities (Ancord) show that there are 24,880 accredited advisors, 17,887 of which are linked to a financial institution, that is, carrying out the activity. “There were no major bumps in the number of advisors due to the new rule, but there is an upward curve [no credenciamento]”, assesses José David Martins Júnior, general director of Ancord, who believes that the numbers should continue to grow next year.
The director also highlights the fact that, of the active advisors, more than 90% are complying with the continuing education program (PEC), with mandatory activities and courses for the renewal of accreditation without taking a new test. Periodically, Ancord offers PEC courses free of charge, with the aim of motivating this training of professionals, says Martins Júnior.

NEW DELHI: Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a 132-122 victory over the Golden State Warriors in a scoring duel with
Stephen Curry. Doncic scored a game-high 39 points, outscoring Curry by 14 points in their first head-to-head matchup of the season. The win for the Mavericks ended their two-game losing streak while extending the Warriors' skid to three games.
Dallas' Dante Exum and Josh Green played significant roles, combining for 37 points. The Mavericks held the lead for most of the game, reaching a 16-point advantage. Although the Warriors narrowed the gap to 112-106 with 6:01 remaining after a Jonathan Kuminga 3-pointer, Doncic responded with a jumper, and Jalen Hardy added a 3-pointer to re-establish a double-digit lead.
Despite the Warriors making a late push and getting within 119-114 after consecutive 3-pointers by Curry and Chris Paul, Doncic sealed the win with a pair of free throws and a short jumper by Tim Hardaway Jr.
Doncic's impressive performance included 14-of-29 shooting, five 3-pointers, eight rebounds, and a game-high 10 assists. The Mavericks shot 55.7 percent from the field, with contributions from Josh Green and Dante Exum, who both made three 3-pointers.
Dereck Lively II recorded a double-double with 12 points and a game-high 14 rebounds, while Tim Hardaway Jr. added 16 points, and Grant Williams contributed 10.
Curry led the Warriors with 25 points, shooting 6-for-15 on 3-point attempts. Chris Paul, in a rare start, made six 3-pointers and scored 24 points. Trayce Jackson-Davis had 17 points, Jonathan Kuminga added 16 points and nine rebounds, and Andrew Wiggins scored 14 points. However, Klay Thompson struggled, scoring just three points on 1-for-11 shooting.

Documentary about Iranian Kazakhs goes online
11:33, 08 February 2019
ASTANA. KAZINFORM Kanat Beisekeyev, Kazakh-born filmmaker, and Qazaqstan TV Channel present a new film about the Kazakhs living in Iran, Kazinform reports.
"As many as 100 Kazakh families are living in the Iranian city of Gorgan to date. In 1927-35, due to a complicated situation in the historical motherland, they were forced to move and find shelter in Iran. These families are thankful to the Iranian people," Beisekeyev posted on his Instagram account.
Unfortunately, both Kanat Beisekeyev and cameraman Nursultan Beikenov were detained by local law-enforcement structures during the film production, because they had no official permission for shooting from Iranian authorities. The film footage and equipment worth $13,000 were confiscated.

New Year's Eve arrived. Cristina Pedroche's night has arrived. Like every year for a decade, on December 31, crowds of people settle in front of the television to satisfy their curiosity about the always controversial styling of the popular presenter.
Pedroche, in addition to celebrating her tenth anniversary as presenter of the Campanadas, also welcomes this new year for the first time as a mother. Therefore, for this very special occasion and with a mind set on celebrating life, the presenter has joined forces with Greenpeace to create her costume, making visible the need to protect water, the most precious resource for our existence and that of others. future generations. Thus, the organization shows the environmental reality of Spain in one of the most anticipated moments on television.
For the ninth consecutive time, the original idea along with the creative direction of the most viral style of the year is carried out by Josie, who for this challenge wanted to count on the help of the Navarrese designer Paula Ulargui and her research and sustainable clothing team. A name little known outside the industry, where she stands out for her original vision of fashion. An example is the grass-covered sneakers she designed for the Spanish luxury brand Loewe.
But how did you come up with this year's styling concept? Josie explains that for both Pedroche and him “2023 has been a year of many changes. In Cristina's case, this is the year of the birth of her first daughter, while for me it has meant a transcendental life change by returning forever to La Mancha humid where I was born. This coming into contact with my land and its waters, as an essential element for existence and sharing it with Cristina, has led us to the conceptual idea of creating a dress that, when watered with water, can take on a life of its own, a key challenge. of design that, in addition, allowed us to send this hopeful message in which to make visible the need to preserve this element so fundamental for our lives and, above all, for future ones.
Recycled, biodegradable and organic materials
The result of this idea is a garment full of symbology in a sustainable way, what Josie defines as an “allegory of water as a fundamental resource for the creation of life” inspired by the river nymph. A mythological being who presided over the waters or fountains and was considered to have powers to inspire those who drank from his waters. So much so that, in the same way that water is necessary to feed vegetation as well as all living beings, aquatic nymphs were also worshiped as givers of life and blessing. A metaphor made into a dress that captures the main message that Cristina, together with Greenpeace, wanted to offer on this very special occasion.
The design is made up of three pieces: cape, dress and shoes created 100% with recycled wool and biodegradable or organic materials. Three pieces of clothing that aim to be a representation of Cristina's life moment and her concerns about guaranteeing a sustainable future, through the protection of nature and access to quality water for future generations.
The cape has been a design challenge in which, for the first time for this issue, it welcomes its own life in its fabric. On a base created 100% with recycled wool, hydroponic cultivation has been carried out in which the different plants of the cape have taken root, thus revealing a mantle of red amaranth to which nasturtium plants are added, covering the waist area on this occasion.
For the dress, we have chosen to make it using an organic and biodegradable fabric made from gelatin, agar, glycerin and water. An ephemeral material worked through heat that, when molded, has resulted in a dress in green tones with transparencies. Finally, for shoes, Cristina has opted for a silhouette with a pine wood base adorned with fastening ribbons made with cotton fibers and the same biomaterial as the dress.

NEW DELHI: Anthony Edwards led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 108-106 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 31 points in 38 minutes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 21 points off the bench for the Timberwolves, improving their Western Conference-leading record to 24-7.
Mike Conley contributed 15 points and seven assists, while Rudy Gobert recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds.
Anthony Davis led the Lakers with an impressive performance, scoring 33 points, grabbing 17 rebounds, and dishing out eight assists. LeBron James, celebrating his 39th birthday, finished with 26 points on 10-for-21 shooting. However, no other Lakers player scored in double digits.
The game remained close, and a technical foul on Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels in the final seconds gave the Lakers an opportunity to rally. Austin Reaves made the technical free throw, and James completed a three-point play to bring the Lakers within 107-104. However, James' attempt to tie the game with a three-pointer was ruled a two-point shot as his foot was on the line by a narrow margin. The Timberwolves secured the 108-106 victory.
Minnesota led 61-57 at halftime, and the Lakers had initially jumped to a 17-6 lead in the first five minutes, with Davis contributing nine points. The Timberwolves fought back and took a 22-21 lead later in the first quarter. The Lakers briefly regained a 10-point lead early in the second quarter, but the Timberwolves ultimately secured the win.

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."

First-and-10: Top takeaways from our film review of USC's Holiday Bowl win
Lincoln Riley called USC's 42-28 conquest over No. 15-ranked Louisville in the Holiday Bowl on Wednesday "as fun a win as I can remember as a head coach."
It was an exorcism of sorts of the negative narratives that had overtaken this lost season, and for the Trojans to pull that off with starters or key role players missing at most every position group on the field due to transfers or opt-outs made a statement more significant than the final score.
It showed a level of buy-in and trust in the coaching, a rallying confidence around quarterback Miller Moss, and a general commitment from the players to each other to start the turnaround for 2024 a little early.
"With all the changes, all the back and forth, six weeks, 20-plus guys that didn't play in this game for different reasons, we could have come into this game not caring about it. This team could have easily -- this team could have gone a lot of different ways with it. And to see us come play as well as we did on all three sides, big plays on all three sides, that's a good football team we just beat up on," Riley said.
"I thought team leadership in this game was as strong as it was the entire year, and I thought that was a big reason why guys played the way we did."
While the difference between finishing with 8 wins rather than 7 doesn't mean a whole lot in the big picture, the performance should serve as a rebuke to any concerns about Riley's ability turn the trajectory for this program again. Yes, the Trojans still have plenty of personnel and depth questions for 2024, so much to prove all over the field in general and legitimate outside concerns about their ability recruit the specific talent in the trenches needed to win in the Big Ten moving forward.
But don't dismiss what it means to rally a depleted and defeated locker room like Riley and his staff did for a tertiary bowl game when this program so badly needed any sort of fresh positive momentum.
"This is like a foreshadow for next season," wide receiver Kyron Hudson said. "This is giving everybody, our fans, especially people that doubted us, a foreshadow for what's going to come. I can speak for everybody in there, it's going to change and we're super excited."
Riley made a point to praise the defensive coaching staff, which was in a tough position yet stuck together (minus one departure) to deliver the message to the players that the job wasn't done and that this game meant something.
Riley has said the defensive staff decisions aren't set, beyond the three new hires who weren't involved in the game-planning, but it's no mystery that linebackers coach Brian Odom was in a potentially-awkward spot continuing to co-coordinate the defense with DL coach Shaun Nua despite his replacement already having been announced in new LBs coach Matt Entz.
"A special thanks to the guys that stayed around because it was important to them, because the team was important to them, because USC was important to them. A special thanks to the coaches that did that -- it was not an easy situation, especially for some of the coaches on our staff," Rileys said. "Especially our defensive guys did a hell of a job tonight -- they got our guys ready to play. A lot of really good coaches, a lot of really good people on the staff where they could have turned and tried to go on to the next thing and they stayed because it was important. Honestly, a bunch of guys in the locker room and the coaching staff that felt that way and that's the reason why we won the game."
Veteran safety Bryson Shaw, who was one of four new captains for the game for USC, touched on that point as well, after a game in which the secondary looked better coached than it had all season despite replacing starters at three positions.
"The defensive coaches did a great job. Taylor Mays stepped up when Donte went out and he killed it right from the start. He's a legend so he's got that respect right off the bat. The way he coaches, he coaches hard, coaches with passion that he is. You guys all know T Mays, we were all so excited to play for him. And then Greg Brown, he brought his enthusiasm to the group too. We were all just having fun. Practices were the most fun," Shaw said. "Myself, I don't know about these guys, but practicing this last month, this has been the most fun for me personally playing football my whole life. ...
"This team that just played, I would take this team over everybody -- I love this team. This last month has been something special. You guys just to see it out there, but we were confident in this. We knew this was going to happen just based off the belief in each other."
Yes, for the first time in months, USC football was fun again, and while it's going to take a lot more to get this program where Riley and the fans want it to be, that's at least a start.
Meanwhile, we've taken our customary deep dive into the film room and broken down every aspect of the Trojans' performance, coming away with our top 10 takeaways from the game ...
1. It's truly Miller Time
By now, every USC fan is well acquainted with the Miller Moss story. The redshirt sophomore’s perseverance and determination to stick with the Trojans despite the stacking of the cards (the depth chart, really) against him is now something of legend. Unfazed by the shadow of Caleb Williams or the implications of the moment on the trajectory of his career, Moss turned in a performance for the ages in the Holiday Bowl as he made his first collegiate start. Posting a remarkable stat line of 372 passing yards and a Holiday bowl-record 6 touchdowns, the former backup led his team to a desperately-needed victory, giving the Trojans their first bowl win in almost 7 years and drastically turning the tide of momentum in USC’s favor heading into a pivotal offseason.
The storybook elements of his story have been well documented to this point, and there’s little I can add to the drama of the off-field narratives surrounding Moss and his emergence. What I’m more interested in right now is examining what Moss showed on the football field last Wednesday night in an attempt to make sense of what he brings to the table and what it means for this football team heading into its first season in the Big Ten.
Let’s start with the tangible traits, the area in which most of the doubts regarding Moss were concentrated prior to this contest. Though Moss doesn’t possess elite mobility or exceptional arm strength, his performance against Louisville made it clear that his physical talent in both regards is plenty sufficient to play the quarterback position at a high level. As a mover, Moss’s greatest strength appears to be the fact that he knows exactly how much his legs can do for him relative to the other players on the field. Though he’s got a decent pair of wheels and solid change of direction skills, it was Moss’ awareness of how to manipulate the space and defenders around him that allowed him to maximize on his opportunities as he navigated the pocket, extended plays when necessary and created extra yardage as a runner.
The best example of this came on his fourth touchdown of the day, as he finished off the Trojans’ 2-minute drill before the half to put them up by two touchdowns. On second-and-8, Moss faced pressure coming around the right edge, with the rusher closing in on him with a clean angle. The quarterback instinctively stepped up into the pocket and flushed himself out to the right, creating just enough space to evade another oncoming defender while delivering a perfectly-lofted ball to the endzone for Ja’Kobi Lane to come down with a 31-yard scoring grab.
Moss wasn’t sacked a single time in this game against a legitimately imposing Louisville defensive front. Although the play of his offensive line deserves plenty of credit for that fact, Moss’ confidence in his legs and ability to move just enough to get himself in position to deliver the necessary throws allowed him to make plays that many other signal-callers would have struggled to get to. As a pure thrower of the football, Moss showed that he has the arm strength to generate excellent velocity at the intermediate and short levels and just enough to make himself a viable thrower of the deep ball. His accuracy under 20 yards was fantastic for much of the game, as he zipped passes into tight windows that required him to throw the football with serious velocity -- see his second touchdown to Kyron Hudson, which was absolutely rocketed between four closing defenders.
Further down the field, it was clear that Moss’ arm strength didn’t carry quite as well, as his ball placement seemed to suffer a bit more when he was required to hit the deep ball. His second touchdown to Tahj Washington slowed down a bit as it neared the end zone, forcing the receiver to come back to the ball and fight for a catch that should have fallen over his shoulder, and two of his deep attempts to Zachariah Branch were slightly misplaced as he tried to heave them with the necessary amount of power.
Even still, Moss showed that he’s got the requisite juice in his arm to connect on deep throws when he’s got a clean platform to throw from, most noticeably on his longest and final touchdown pass of the day to Duce Robinson. On that 44-yard strike, Moss stepped cleanly into his throw and delivered the ball as perfectly as possible over Robinson’s shoulder, driving it with all the required velocity and placement to its destination.
He went 5 of 8 on throws of 20+ yards for 163 yards and 3 of his touchdowns -- you can’t really complain about that. Though Moss doesn’t have a “cannon” for an arm like some other top quarterbacks do, he should be plenty capable of succeeding as a thrower of the deep ball, especially with another offseason to train and with more reps.
As much as the physical talent shone through, it was Moss’ grasp of the intangibles that dazzled in this contest. His composure and decision-making over the course of the night were fantastic, resembling that of a multi-year starter and NFL prospect far more than a redshirt sophomore making his first start. Never for a moment did the young quarterback appear rattled, approaching every snap with an obvious confidence that translated to his decisiveness with the football and trust in both his arm and his playmakers. It was clear to see that Moss understands Lincoln Riley’s offense well and knows just how to work his reads in the context of the system, as he consistently demonstrated the ability to identify the correct throw in his progressions and displayed the necessary wherewithal to abandon the play when there was nothing left to gain. Each of his mistakes on the night, limited as they were, happened to be errors of execution rather than decision-making. His command of the offense was palpable, allowing him to get the ball to the right place at the right time with a consistency that kept the Trojans moving with ease for most of the night despite the absence of a functional rushing attack.
Moss had an answer for every situation he was faced with, getting the ball out quickly when he had to and always seeming to find the right guy to target in the context of the play. That skill allowed him to convert a healthy 6 of 10 third downs -- plenty of them long -- against a Louisville defense that had given up just 28% of those chances all year, which was sixth-best in the country.
The mental responsibilities of playing the quarterback position are the hardest to master and the most valuable on the football field given that a player has the baseline physical tools. Moss has proved that he’s much further developed in that regard than most players at the collegiate level. I know that’s a crazy thing to say after just one start’s worth of tape to examine, but that tape shows everything I needed to see. There are very good college quarterbacks that never quite master that part of the game after years of starting -- for Moss to have demonstrated such a clear grasp of the offensive system and his role within it so early speaks volumes as to the player he is. With a full offseason of reps to add as a starter, there’s sincerely no telling what a player with that kind of ability could be capable of.
Moss may have to compete against some new additions to win the job outright in the coming months, but make no mistake, the Trojans’ starting quarterback position should be his to lose from here on out.
2. Perspective on the O-line and Elijah Paige's encouraging debut
USC’s offensive line was much maligned by observers over the course of the year -- perhaps unfairly. Although it was evident the group took a step backward from its performance in 2022, it was still an above-average unit and plenty capable of supporting a top-tier offense. Much of the O-line's perceived struggles in pass protection were largely borne of the play style of their quarterback, whose penchant for holding the ball longer than all but 4 FBS quarterbacks with more than 300 snaps played (average of 3.19 seconds to throw) put his blockers in difficult positions. PFF charted Williams as being responsible for 39 pressures over the course of the season -- more than any other quarterback in the country. That’s not to lambast Williams, who’s unique style and creativity in extending the play allow him to do things few other players in the history of the game have been able to emulate. However, when evaluating the performance of the offensive line over the course of the year, the difficulty of the task it was asked to perform has to be understood.
As such, it wasn’t surprising to see the Trojans’ five guys up front fare significantly better in pass protection against Louisville, as Moss got the ball out of his hands quickly with an average time to throw of just 2.60 seconds. The offensive line gave up a total of just 6 pressures and no sacks over the course of the night, while right tackle Jarrett Kingston (84.4 pass-blocking grade from PFF) and Jonah Monheim (81.1, while moving to right guard) excelling in particular. But most promising was freshman Elijah Paige in his first ever start at left tackle. Paige had received very few opportunities to see the field in his first season as a Trojan but made the most of his first start against a talented defensive line, allowing just 2 pressures on his 25 pass-blocking reps. Paige’s frame appeared noticeably more filled out than earlier in the season, and he held his ground admirably. I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see him as the team’s starter on the blindside in Week 1 next season.
Despite the strength of the offensive line’s pass-blocking performance, the Trojans struggled mightily as run blockers for most of the night, doing little to create significant room for the backs as evidenced by the team averaging just 3.7 yards per carry. Though the Trojans were quite productive on the ground over the course of the year (6.44 yards per carry by running backs), the offensive line was inconsistent in its ability to create solid lanes from week to week. Generating more reliability in that area will be a key heading into the 2024 season.
Lastly, though, the offensive line deserves real praise for finishing this game without a single penalty called. Not only did the linemen avoid holding penalties, indicating their heightened execution, they avoided the pre-snap penalties that had so plagued them throughout the season. The starting offensive line unit had amassed 35 penalties over the course of the year -- the majority of them coming on flags that reflected a lack of focus and attention to detail. Playing a clean game from start to finish against one of the better defensive fronts they faced all season was an improvement beyond what could have been hoped for and provides reason for optimism for a positive regression to the mean moving forward.
3. The future at WR on full display
Outside of Miller Moss’ play, the story of the game for the Trojans was the performance of the team’s receiving corps.
Veteran Tahj Washington was brilliant in his final game in a USC uniform, posting 99 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns on 7 receptions. Though Washington could easily have opted out of this game in declaring for the NFL draft, he chose not to, demonstrating his dedication to the team and posting more eye-catching film for NFL teams to work with. As he has all season, Washington did it all in this game -- creating with the ball in his hands, winning with his route-running and securing difficult passes despite his small frame. His performance in the Holiday Bowl put him over 1,000 receiving yards for the season, rounding out a career-best stat line of 59 catches for 1,062 yards and 8 TDs. Though he’s been underrated nationally in his time as a Trojan, I’m betting Washington will make an NFL team quite happy in a year's time for having chosen him.
Though the senior led the way for the unit, it was a trio of freshmen that seized the moment, sending a warning shot to indicate just how dynamic and dangerous this young USC receiving corps could be in 2024. After showing bright flashes in his limited opportunities down the stretch of the regular season, Ja’Kobi Lane shone like a star in the Holiday Bowl on just 17 snaps. Lane dominated in high school due to his ability to win at the catch point, routinely snatching the ball clean out of the air and pulling passes out of the grasp of defensive backs with the help of his long-armed, 6-foot-4 frame. Those same skills were on full display against Louisville’s defensive backs as Lane hauled in 3 impressive grabs for 60 yards and 2 touchdowns. On all three of his catches, his ability to dominate the catch point with his size and hands were on display, never giving the defenders even a chance to prevent him from hauling in his two TDs. His route-running also stood out, as he showed silky movement skills and a rare ability to accelerate out of his breaks for a player of his size. It’s too early to say, but I wouldn’t be at all shocked to see Lane take a big leap forward to become the Trojans’ No. 1 receiver next season.
Fellow freshman Makai Lemon also made a big splash in his first taste of extended action as a receiver, hauling in 2 receptions for 75 yards. Lemon made a fantastic catch out in front of his body over the middle before shooting up the field for 40 yards for his first reception of the game and late made a leaping grab between three defenders for 35 yards earned as a result of a well-run slant-and-go pattern skillfully executed from the slot. We saw very little of Lemon on the field with the offense this season, but what he showed on Wednesday spoke of a player capable of stardom.
Not to be forgotten, five-star freshman Duce Robinson posted one of the highlights of the game on a 44-yard touchdown reception, blazing past a much smaller defensive back on a slant-and-go route similar to the one run earlier by Lemon. Robinson had a disappointing third down drop earlier in the game, an issue that’s marked his play as a freshman, but he’s nonetheless proven himself to be a unique pass-catching talent thanks to his rare blend of smooth athleticism and size.
Altogether, this group may end up being one of the toughest matchups for opposing defenses next season, much as it was for Louisville’s secondary. Not many other squads in the country will have a comparable blend of size (Lane and Robinson) and raw explosiveness (Lemon and Zachariah Branch) to put out on the field all at once.
4. The next steps for Zachariah Branch
For all the success of the freshmen wide receiver group, it was somewhat surprising for the most heralded member of that crew to have had the quietest night. Five-star phenom Zachariah Branch didn’t make much of an impact on his offensive snaps, rushing for no yardage on the first play of the game and recording 2 receptions for a total of just 9 yards. He did find a chance to show off his freakish ability in the open field on his lone punt return opportunity, shaking a couple of Cardinals out of their shoes and almost housing the touch for a score before losing his footing for an eventual gain of 23 yards.
Branch is one of the most explosive playmakers in college football, period. There’s practically no one in the country who moves like he does with the ball in his hands. He changes directions effortlessly like a hummingbird in flight and covers grass with all the speed of a cheetah running down its quarry -- none of that sounds like hyperbole if you've seen it with your own eyes. And yet, there’s still something that Branch hasn’t yet been able to put together in his game as a wide receiver.
We’ve discussed previously that his lack of involvement in the downfield passing attack this season was rather surprising, with the vast majority of his targets coming on short looks that resembled extensions of the running game more than anything. So far, Branch hasn’t demonstrated the ability to go get the football when it’s up for grabs, making it difficult for him to play a bigger role in the traditional passing offense. In the Holiday Bowl, he failed to haul in either of his targets on downfield routes, the first passing clean through both of his hands and the latter thrown a bit too far but still within catchable range had the receiver tracked it and laid out for it in time. This isn’t to say that Branch has bad hands -- he’s shown the ability to make impressive catches in his high school career and is certainly capable of continuing to do so at this level.
This season, USC’s depth at the receiver position limited his opportunities anyways, giving the offensive staff more reason to concentrate his targets on what he could be trusted to do best. The next step for Branch is to become a complete receiver, and he certainly has all the tools to do so. It’s just a matter of putting it all together, and this offseason we should expect to see him start to do just that. If the speedster starts to consistently make plays down the field, it’s an easy bet that he’ll instantly become one of the most feared players in all of college football.
5. Fixing the defensive structure
I’ve complained incessantly this season about the lack of functional soundness in the Trojans’ defensive structure -- issues that consistently left this team vulnerable to getting abused by opposing offenses yet remained unchanged over the course of the 12-game regular season. These included motion-intensive run fits that routinely left gaping holes at the line of scrimmage, inadequate alignments against offensive formations and inexplicable coverage cushions on third downs that invited easy passing conversions at the sticks. In the Roundtable before this game, I expressed my optimism that with a month to prepare, the interim defensive staff should finally be able to do away with these easily fixable blunders despite their persistence in the two games that immediately followed Alex Grinch’s firing.
Still, I found myself pleasantly suprised to see those adjustments decisively made for this bowl game. The perpetual front-seven shifting that characterized Grinch’s defense was largely done away with, the defensive formations matched those of the offense consistently according to conventional wisdom, and the team’s third down defense made sure to take away the easy conversions in the passing game that it had previously given up so easily. To be sure, the defense still found itself taken advantage of at times, particularly in the run game, but it was a noticeably improved effort from what we saw all year, with few of the familiar long busts or throw-away downs. Those simple adjustments went a long way toward improving the total quality of USC’s defensive performance, helping the team to limit the Cardinals to fewer points than all but three of their 2023 opponents.
It begs the question of why such obvious obstructions to good defensive football remained in place for so long, but regardless, it was a welcome sight to see the interim staff able to move past them and to reap the benefits immediately. We can be almost certain that D’Anton Lynn’s defense next year won’t feature structural flaws of this variety, and that’s something for which we can be thankful.

Russia's attack on Finland is not a real threat now, because Russia has a lot of work to do to survive its war in Ukraine.
Vuosi changed in a serious mood, because there is no quick resolution to Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine. Hopes for Ukraine's progress were dashed in the summer, and neither side seems to have the strength for a decisive breakthrough at the moment.

NEW DELHI: DeMar DeRozan led the Chicago Bulls to a 105-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers with 24 points. Coby White added 20 points, Alex Caruso contributed 14 points, and Patrick Williams had 13 points for the short-handed Bulls, who played without key injured players such as Zach LaVine, Torrey Craig, and Nikola Vucevic. Andre Drummond had a standout performance with 15 points, 23 rebounds, and three blocks.
Despite missing Joel Embiid, the reigning Most Valuable Player, the Sixers were led by Tyrese Maxey with 20 points, and Tobias Harris added 15 points. However, Philadelphia recorded a season-low in points and fell to 2-5 this season when playing without Embiid.
The Bulls took control in the fourth quarter, with DeRozan hitting key shots and the team extending their lead. A technical foul on Marcus Morris Sr. helped the Bulls push their advantage, and they ultimately cruised to the victory.
DeRozan and White were instrumental in the first half, each scoring 15 points, as the Bulls took a 56-48 lead at halftime. Despite Maxey's efforts for the Sixers, the team struggled from 3-point range in the opening half.
In the third quarter, the Bulls maintained their lead, and a deep 3-pointer by Jevon Carter helped them finish the quarter with an 80-71 advantage. The Sixers made a late push, but the Bulls secured the win, showcasing their depth and resilience in the absence of key players.

NEW DELHI: Tyrese Haliburton made NBA history by becoming the first player in 33 years to record consecutive games with at least 20 points and 20 assists. In Saturday's 140-126 victory over the New York
Knicks, Haliburton finished with 22 points and 23 assists. This impressive feat puts him in elite company, joining the likes of Hall of Famers Magic Johnson (December 18-19, 1984) and John Stockton (March 1-3, 1990), who achieved similar milestones.
The 23 assists by Haliburton also tied the franchise record, matching Jamaal Tinsley's performance on November 22, 2001. The Indiana Pacers secured their third straight win with Haliburton's outstanding play. Myles Turner contributed 28 points and eight rebounds, while Aaron Nesmith added 25 points. Turner and Nesmith combined for 23 points in the third quarter, establishing a double-digit lead that the Pacers maintained for the remainder of the game.
Despite the New York Knicks trading away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley in a deal with the Toronto Raptors, the team fell short in their matchup against the Pacers. Donte DiVincenzo led the Knicks with a career-high 38 points, but it wasn't enough to secure a victory. Julius Randle recorded 28 points and 12 rebounds, and Josh Hart contributed 10 points and 10 rebounds.
The game opened with the Knicks taking an early 13-4 lead, but the Pacers responded with a 28-14 run to close the first quarter. Despite the Knicks tying the score multiple times in the second quarter, the Pacers held a narrow 64-62 lead at halftime. The Pacers dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Knicks 41-30 and securing a comfortable lead that they maintained throughout the fourth quarter.

In Berlin, the mayor announced a “night of repression” if necessary. The police intervened several times before midnight. A tragic incident occurs in Koblenz.
Berlin – People all over Germany welcomed the New Year. Millions celebrated peacefully and exuberantly – but there were also serious incidents on New Year's Eve. In Koblenz, an 18-year-old died when a firecracker exploded. In Berlin in particular, the police had to go out on numerous operations before midnight; the emergency services were particularly tense about the turn of the year.
Berlin's governing mayor Kai Wegner announced on Sunday evening that he would take tough action against riots. “Today is the night, if necessary, the night of repression where the rule of law will try to assert itself,” said the CDU politician while visiting a police station in Berlin-Neukölln. On New Year's Eve a year ago there were riots and attacks on police and rescue workers across the country, with Berlin particularly affected.
Firecrackers, Molotov cocktails, arrests
Hours before midnight there was an incident near Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte with hundreds of people involved. According to the police, firecrackers were thrown from a group of around 500 people. The police said on the online platform X (formerly Twitter) that the group was dispersed at the Neptune Fountain and checked for fireworks. “Our emergency services were shot at with pyrotechnics from a group of around 200 people who were at the town hall passages,” it continued.
In Neukölln, police caught several people making eleven Molotov cocktails out of gasoline and glass bottles. Nine suspects were arrested, it was said on Monday night. A police spokeswoman said that more than 100 people had been temporarily arrested throughout the city until shortly before midnight for dangerous firecrackers or other violations.
More suspects in custody after Cologne terror alarm
Because of the suspected planned terrorist attack at Cologne Cathedral, the security forces there were particularly vigilant. The police chief said at a press conference on Sunday that the allegedly planned attack was intended to be carried out with a car. It turned out that the Tajik, who was taken into custody on Christmas Eve, was part of a larger network. North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) said that the approximately 1,000 police officers who were deployed around the cathedral on New Year's Eve were doing everything they could to ensure the safety of those celebrating. The police had received information about a planned Islamist attack on Cologne Cathedral on New Year's Eve. Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki then celebrated the well-attended New Year's Eve mass in the evening under heavy police protection. According to police reports, things initially remained quiet around the cathedral in the evening.
Restraint in flood areas
For many people in the flood areas, this time the New Year's Eve party literally fell through. The Interior Minister of the hard-hit state of Lower Saxony, Daniela Behrens, called for New Year's Eve fireworks to be used with caution due to the tense flood situation. The fire brigades and rescue services are busy enough, said the SPD politician in Verden.
Australia, China, South Korea already have 2024
In many parts of the world, 2024 began hours before midnight in Germany. In Sydney, a mega light show lit up the sky against the world-famous backdrop of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House at 2 p.m. CET. By the German evening it was already 2024 in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, China, India and Dubai.
Serious accidents involving private fireworks
Despite all the warnings, serious accidents involving fireworks occurred again. In one case in Koblenz it even ended fatally: an 18-year-old died on Sunday evening when he set off a firecracker, the police said. The young man died as a result of the explosion despite resuscitation. The investigation into the circumstances was ongoing. The police initially did not want to provide any further information about the incident in the Rübenach district. The police once again called for caution when handling fireworks.
The Berlin police said a 40-year-old lost a hand when setting off a signal rocket in the Kaulsdorf district. Immediately after ignition, the rocket exploded in his hand. During a search, additional pyrotechnics were found on him and confiscated.
After years of Corona break, fireworks are back in Berlin
In front of the Brandenburg Gate in the capital, tens of thousands celebrated the new year at the traditional New Year's Eve party. For the first time since the corona pandemic there were fireworks. Around 45,000 visitors came to the ZDF New Year's Eve party despite intermittent rain and high security precautions. According to the organizers, the festival mile between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column was designed for 65,000 people. ZDF broadcast the party live again as a show called “Welcome 2024”. Ayliva, Luca Hänni and Roy Bianco & The Abbrunzati Boys provided the atmosphere.
Tens of thousands on the streets in Hamburg and Frankfurt
In Hamburg, too, tens of thousands started the new year 2024 with big fireworks and parties. People crowded together to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks at the landing stages. Around 8,000 visitors came there alone, a police spokesman said shortly after midnight. There were 10,000 to 15,000 people at the Reeperbahn, but more were still coming. There were also celebrations in downtown Frankfurt – initially peaceful, according to the police. Of course, firecrackers and rockets were fired into crowds again, a police spokesman said early on Monday morning. The officials took consistent action against this.
Whole globe only on January 1st. at 1 p.m. in the New Year
In total, it takes 26 hours for the entire globe to enter the New Year. American Samoa, located just 220 kilometers east of Samoa on the other side of the International Date Line, will be the last country – twelve hours after Germany. At 1:00 p.m. CET on January 1st, only two uninhabited islands will follow. dpa

NEW DELHI: The Utah Jazz secured a 117-109 victory over the Miami Heat in a closely contested game in Salt Lake City. Collin Sexton led the Jazz with 22 points, and Keyonte George contributed 21 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter.
Despite the Heat's impressive performance from Bam Adebayo, who recorded a double-double with 28 points and 16 rebounds, Miami saw its four-game winning streak come to an end.
Tyler Herro added 25 points, six rebounds, and six assists for the Heat.
Former Miami player Kelly Olynyk played a crucial role off the bench for the Jazz, tallying 19 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds. The victory marked Utah's seventh win in the last 10 games, showcasing their best stretch of the season.
The game remained closely contested throughout, with both teams trading leads. Miami held a 28-27 advantage after the first quarter, but the Jazz took a slim 54-53 lead into halftime, thanks in part to a late go-ahead layup by Sexton.
The back-and-forth battle continued into the third quarter, and the score was tied at 88-88 heading into the final period. With the game still a one-point affair midway through the fourth quarter, the Jazz created some separation with a 15-4 run, giving them a 108-100 lead.
Despite efforts from Miami, including Duncan Robinson's scoring contribution, the Jazz maintained control and secured the victory. The Heat played without key players Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson, and Kyle Lowry, who were sidelined due to various injuries.

Before the year ends I'm trying to fill the gaps in my 2023 calendar where I took photos but didn't upload them.
These were some interesting fungi we saw in a little wooded area. I don't know if it's just the kind they were or if they'd been frozen and it affected their looks or what, but I'd never seen them coloured/patterned quite like this before.

In Berlin, the mayor announced a “night of repression” on New Year’s Eve if necessary. In fact, incidents are happening again – not just in Berlin.
Berlin – The New Year has already begun in many countries – and in Germany too, millions celebrated largely peacefully and exuberantly. But there were serious incidents on New Year's Eve. In Koblenz, an 18-year-old died when a firecracker exploded. In Berlin in particular, the police had to go on numerous missions; the emergency services were particularly tense about the turn of the year.
Berlin's governing mayor Kai Wegner announced on Sunday evening that he would take tough action against riots. “Today is the night, if necessary, the night of repression where the rule of law will try to assert itself,” said the CDU politician while visiting a police station in Berlin-Neukölln. On New Year's Eve a year ago there were riots and attacks on police and rescue workers across the country, with Berlin particularly affected.
Firecrackers, Molotov cocktails, arrests in Berlin

On Sunday evening there was an incident near Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte with hundreds of people involved. According to the police, firecrackers were thrown from a group of around 500 people.

There was great concern about an incident. An attack was supposed to have been carried out with a car, said Cologne police chief Johannes Hermanns. It turned out that the Tajik, who was taken into custody on Christmas Eve, was part of a larger network that also extends to other federal states and other European countries.
Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki then celebrated the well-attended New Year's Eve mass in the evening under heavy police protection. According to police reports, things initially remained quiet around the cathedral in the evening. “I would like to thank our security forces, who began protecting this cathedral in the days before Christmas and also protecting us so that we can celebrate church services and the fundamental right to freely practice religion continues to be guaranteed in our country,” said Woelki Start of the fair.
Serious accidents involving private fireworks
Despite all the warnings, serious accidents involving fireworks occurred again. In one case in Koblenz it even ended fatally: an 18-year-old died on Sunday evening when he set off a firecracker, the police said.

The world is gradually welcoming the New Year
In many parts of the world, 2024 began hours before midnight in Germany. In Sydney, a mega light show lit up the sky against the world-famous backdrop of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House at 2 p.m. CET. By the German evening it was already 2024 in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, China, India and Dubai.
An hour after Germany, people in London welcomed the New Year – and there was a special anniversary there. The British capital rang in the year with the chimes of Big Ben and a spectacular fireworks display at the London Eye Ferris wheel. 100 years ago, the BBC first broadcast the ringing of the clock tower bells of the Parliament live at the turn of the year. Until then, the typical sound was only audible to people in the surrounding area of the London Borough of Westminster.
Whole globe only on January 1st. at 1 p.m. in the New Year
In total, it takes 26 hours for the entire globe to enter the new year. American Samoa, located just 220 kilometers east of Samoa on the other side of the International Date Line, will be the last country – twelve hours after Germany. At 1:00 p.m. CET on January 1st, only two uninhabited islands will follow. dpa

EAEU becomes a force to reckon with - Toqayev
In his remarks at the Government's hour, Speaker Toqayev noted that 2019 would be momentous for the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) as the economic bloc marks 5 years since the signing of the Treaty on the EAEU. Also, it has been 25 years since Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev put forward the idea of Eurasian integration.
"Today it can safely be said that the EAEU has gained a footing as the integration association, gaining momentum in its development," Toqayev said, adding that the solid foundation for formation of a single market of goods, services and capital had been created in the union.
The Kazakh Senate Speaker added that the EAEU is becoming a force to reckon with and an important player in the system of global economic ties.
"Many countries are keen to cooperate with the EAEU which boasts total population of over 180 million and gross domestic product (GDP) of over $2 trillion," Toqayev pointed out.
He went on by adding that the Free Trade Zone with Vietnam had already been established and that the EAEU had been working on analogous zones with other countries. High hopes are pinned on the EAEU transport and transit potential.
It was also stressed that integration of the EAEU with China's One Belt, One Road initiative would help propel trade and economic ties in Eurasia to the next level.

NEW DELHI: CeeDee Lamb had a standout performance, catching 13 passes for 227 yards, including a 92-yard touchdown, as the Dallas Cowboys held off the Detroit Lions 20-19 on Saturday night. Despite the Lions scoring an 11-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown with 23 seconds left, an apparent go-ahead 2-point conversion pass to lineman Taylor Decker was nullified when officials ruled Decker didn't report as an eligible receiver.
The subsequent pass attempt by Goff fell incomplete.
Dak Prescott threw for 345 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys (11-5), maintaining their unbeaten record at home. Goff finished with 271 passing yards but threw two interceptions. David Montgomery rushed for 65 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown for the Lions (11-5), who had already clinched the NFC North title.
Dallas led 7-3 at halftime, with the Lions scoring on a 41-yard field goal by Michael Badgley. The Cowboys then took the lead with a long touchdown pass from Prescott to Lamb, who caught the ball at midfield after Prescott escaped pressure.
Despite the Lions driving inside the Cowboys' 5-yard line after a successful fake punt play, they turned the ball over on downs. The Lions took the lead in the third quarter with Montgomery's 3-yard run, capping off a 13-play, 74-yard drive. The Cowboys responded with a touchdown, an 8-yard pass from Prescott to Brandin Cooks, to retake the lead.
Lamb made a crucial 22-yard reception on third down to help Dallas manage the clock. Donovan Wilson's interception of a Goff pass at Detroit's 29-yard line set up a field goal by Brandon Aubrey, securing the Cowboys' victory with a seven-point advantage.

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.

(NEXSTAR) — Select batches of a baby formula product have been recalled due to concerns about possible bacterial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans of Nutramigen Powder, produced by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) and distributed to U.S. retailers over the summer. Nutramigen Powder is a specialty formula designed for infants allergic to cow’s milk.
The company said it issued the recall due to the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
“All products in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria,” MJN said in its press release.
Cronobacter is a germ that can cause a dangerous blood infection known as sepsis, and it can also “make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants younger than two months old, born prematurely or with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sick from the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and MJN said it believes most of the products have already been consumed.
The affected products are listed below. They have a “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025” and a UPC Code of either 300871239418 or 300871239456.
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans)
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans)
Consumers who purchased the affected products should throw them away or contact MJN for a refund. Anyone with questions can call 866-534-9986 or email consumer.relations@rb.com for assistance.

SAN BENITO, Texas (ValleyCentral) —A man was arrested for allegedly running over an officer early Sunday morning, authorities said.
Yasser Ismail Abu Awwad Martinez, 21, of Brownsville, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to a release from the San Benito Police Department.

Berlin fears emergency – major police action
Police and firefighters in Berlin are preparing for New Year's Eve. The Gaza war has worsened the situation.
Germany goes into New Year's Eve nervously. Berlin's ruling mayor, Kai Wegner, announced tough measures against the riots on Sunday evening. “Tonight is, if necessary, a night of repression, where the rule of law will try to assert itself,” the CDU politician said as he visited a police station in Berlin-Neukölln.
A year ago New Year's Eve saw riots and attacks on police and rescue workers across the country, with Berlin particularly affected.
An incident involving hundreds of people took place near Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte a few hours before midnight. Firecrackers were thrown from a group of about 500 people, police said.
Police dispersed the group at the Neptune Fountain and checked for fireworks, police said on online site X.
“Our emergency services were fired with pyrotechnics by a group of around 200 people in the town hall corridors,” it continued. In all, about 20 people have been arrested in the city as of 9 p.m., a police spokesman said.
Heavy police presence
Police and fire brigades in Berlin are preparing in full force. According to Police Chief Barbara Slovic, it was one of the largest operations in the capital in recent decades.
Incidents of private firecrackers have already happened. A 40-year-old man lost his arm while firing a signal rocket in the Kaulsdorf district, Berlin police said. Immediately after ignition, the rocket exploded in his hand. During the search, additional pyrotechnics were found and seized from him.
The already ever-unsettled New Year in Berlin was further exacerbated by the Gaza war following a terrorist attack by Islamist Hamas on Israel. There have been repeated protests over the past few weeks and months.
Hot spots and no-fire areas
Berlin police banned a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Neukölln on New Year's Eve, due to fear of crime. According to police, two parallel counter-rallys planned in support of Israel were canceled by the organizers. Another pro-Palestinian demonstration moved from Neukölln to Kreuzberg on New Year's Eve with a heavy police presence.
Police have identified several hotspot areas, including northern New Zealand. There were also zones where fireworks were banned, for example at Alexanderplatz. Private fireworks are also prohibited at Brandenburg Gate.

NEW DELHI: The Detroit Lions secured a playoff spot on Saturday night, but a controversial call during their loss to the Dallas Cowboys has left fans questioning the officiating and the impact on their playoff seeding.
In a dramatic turn of events, offensive lineman Taylor Decker appeared to catch Jared Goff's two-point conversion pass, giving the Lions a one-point lead over the Cowboys with less than a minute left.
However, the officials ruled Decker ineligible, nullifying the play and leaving the Lions without the lead.
Decker contends that he properly reported as eligible before the snap, as instructed by coach Dan Campbell. However, confusion arose as the officials mistakenly identified Dan Skipper as the player reporting. Skipper refuted this claim, stating he did not communicate with the official before the play.
"I did exactly what coach told me to do. I went to the ref, said report... I did what I was told to do, did how we did it in practice all week," Decker explained after the game.
Campbell expressed frustration during the postgame press conference, highlighting that he had thoroughly explained the two-point play to the officials before kickoff. The referee, Brad Allen, offered a conflicting account in a pool report, asserting that Skipper reported and Decker did not, leading to the penalty.
Video footage captured Decker conversing with Allen, who then communicated with the Cowboys' defense about Skipper's reported eligibility. The controversial call ultimately denied the Lions a potential game-winning moment.
Despite the setback, the Lions have clinched a playoff spot, and there remains a possibility of facing the Cowboys again in the postseason. The disputed call has ignited discussions about officiating accuracy and the need for further scrutiny into the events of Saturday night.

EAEU vice-premiers to meet in Moscow Feb 22
"The agenda features matters related to integration, trade, customs and technical regulations, application of sanitary, veterinary and phytosanitary measures. The participants of the session will discuss several draft agreements, including the agreements on the order and terms of removing technical barriers in mutual trade with third countries and the agreements on exchanging information about goods and vehicles used in international road haulage in the territory of the EAEU and China. They will also determine the structure, format, frequency and order of providing information about the movement of goods and vehicles across the customs border of the union," the press service noted.
Members of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission will discuss the import duty of the EAEU single customs tariff in respect to individual types of graphite electrodes. There are plans to introduce amendments to a number of documents, including the EAEU Foreign Economic Activity Commodity Nomenclature, the single customs tariff, decisions regarding polypropylene threads to produce carpets, single lists of goods subject to state sanitary, epidemiological and veterinary control (supervision), single quarantine phytosanitary requirements and the plan to develop the EAEU technical regulations.

In the midst of suckling pig, lamb or roast turkey, potatoes with butter, nougat and marzipan, on every Christmas table there is always room for a salad, which normally goes unnoticed, probably because few go beyond the classic endive with garlic and pomegranate. Honestly, I'm a big fan of this classic, but there is life beyond it in winter or Christmas salads.
Today we make a citrus salad mixed with fennel, a little celery – all seasonal ingredients – and red and Chinese onions. The sweetness of the fruit, with its touch of acidity – in addition to that of the vinegar – and its intense flavors enhanced by salt and olive oil, create a surprising salad, which contrasts wonderfully with the most intense dishes and clears up a little. the palate before moving on to the next bite.
The beauty of the salad is to mix several different citrus fruits; I propose grapefruit, orange and tangerine: their different colors make a beautiful dish, and their subtly different flavor profiles make each bite heterogeneous. You can add kiwi to the equation, or small pieces of lemon that you have mixed with sugar to lower their potency a little. The experience will always be very interesting, because we are used to eating fruits in sweet dishes, and when you serve them as savory ones, they raise eyebrows that after the first bite transform into smiles of pleasure.
Time: twenty minutes
Difficulty: It is a salad that involves cutting and chopping many things.

For 4 people
- 1 orange
- 1 grapefruit
- 4 tangerines
- 1 medium head of fennel
- Half a red onion
- 2 chinese chives
- 1 stick of celery
- 4 tablespoons EVOO
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or white vinegar
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- Plenty of freshly ground black pepper
- Salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cut the green part of the Chinese chives into very fine julienne strips and immerse them in ice water for 15 minutes to soften them. Cut the half red onion into julienne strips and immerse it in cold water to remove its potency. Discard the base of the fennel, cut thin slices, and cut them into quarters. Cut the celery stick lengthwise into four, and then chop it finely.
Peel and cut the orange, grapefruit and mandarin oranges into segments. Add them to a bowl along with the red onion, celery and fennel, reserving a little of each to finish the plating.
In a bowl, add the EVOO, rice vinegar, salt, sugar and freshly ground black pepper, and mix vigorously until an emulsion is created and the sugar has dissolved.
Add the vinaigrette to the bowl and mix well. Transfer the entire salad to a plate, making a mound. Pour the remaining juices in the bowl around the mountain. Drain the chives and place them on top. Finish with the reserved red onion, celery and fennel, and optionally with a little flake salt.

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.

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.

NEW DELHI: Dalvin Cook, who joined the New York Jets after parting ways with the Minnesota Vikings last offseason, has experienced a challenging year, reaching a new low in Week 17.
In the recent matchup against the Cleveland Browns, Cook, who had dressed for the game, remained on the sideline throughout, marking the first instance in his career where he didn't take a single step on the football field.
The unexpected absence of Cook allowed rookie Izzy Abanikanda to step into the spotlight, logging two carries for three yards in the contest. Breece Hall took on the leading role, rushing 13 times for an impressive 84 yards.
Cook's sidelining in a primetime game raises questions about his future, not only with the New York Jets but potentially in the
NFL. This season, Cook has faced a decline in performance, rushing 67 times for 214 yards with an average of 3.2 yards per carry and no rushing touchdowns.
The stark decline is notable, especially considering Cook's impressive 2022 season with the Minnesota Vikings, where he recorded 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns. However, a key indicator of Cook's decline emerged in his yards per carry stat, which steadily decreased over the past three years.
In 2020, Cook achieved five yards per carry, followed by 4.7 yards per carry in 2021, and a further dip to 4.4 yards per carry in the previous season. This year, Cook's average yards per carry plummeted to 3.2.

Chiara Ferragni Safilo campaign
Delivery delays due to boom in Black Friday sales
After the news on delays in product deliveries of Chiara Ferragni's brands purchased online, Fenice Srl, the licensor of the influencer's brands, explained “that it promptly took action to deal with the mix-up attributable to a peak in sales that occurred during the Black Friday period “.
“Fenice – we read in a note – renews its apologies to its customers affected by the delay and/or possible misunderstandings in receiving what was ordered and also specifies that on 5 December 2023 it received reassurances from the provider who manages the e-commerce that all pending orders would have been processed by 15 December 2023; in a subsequent further check carried out by the company on 20 December 2023 with the provider, the latter confirmed that all purchase orders placed before that date (December 20, 2023) appeared to have escaped”.
However, the company “invites any customers who have not yet received what they ordered to write an email to [email protected] so we can carry out further checks”

(NEXSTAR) — Select batches of a baby formula product have been recalled due to concerns about possible bacterial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans of Nutramigen Powder, produced by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) and distributed to U.S. retailers over the summer. Nutramigen Powder is a specialty formula designed for infants allergic to cow’s milk.
The company said it issued the recall due to the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
“All products in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria,” MJN said in its press release.
Cronobacter is a germ that can cause a dangerous blood infection known as sepsis, and it can also “make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants younger than two months old, born prematurely or with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sick from the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and MJN said it believes most of the products have already been consumed.
The affected products are listed below. They have a “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025” and a UPC Code of either 300871239418 or 300871239456.
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans)
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans)
Consumers who purchased the affected products should throw them away or contact MJN for a refund. Anyone with questions can call 866-534-9986 or email consumer.relations@rb.com for assistance.

NEW DELHI: Nearly 30 years after coaching the Dallas Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowl titles, Jimmy Johnson was officially inducted into the team's Ring of Honor. The induction ceremony marked the resolution of a long-standing feud between Johnson and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
At halftime of the Cowboys' game against the Detroit Lions in Arlington, Texas, Jones announced the induction, saying, "Jimmy Johnson's going to be right here with Tom Landry, going to be here with some of the greatest names in the history (of the Cowboys), rightfully so.
Welcome to the Ring of Honor."
Expressing his gratitude, Johnson stated on the field, "People have asked what this means to me. I'm so very, very proud of what we accomplished. When I say we, it's a lot of people. But more than anybody else, thank you Jerry Jones for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys." Johnson concluded with the iconic phrase, "And I just got one more thing to say. How 'bout them Cowboys!"
During the ceremony, Johnson received hugs from stars of his Dallas teams, including Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, and Troy Aikman.
In a pregame press conference, Johnson reflected on his time coaching the Cowboys, stating, "I don't think anybody can ever imagine what this means to me. (Coaching the Cowboys) was a special time in my life. ... It's something that I'm extremely proud of."
Jones acknowledged Johnson's greatness as a coach and manager, noting that his contributions were also reflected in the NFL Hall of Fame. Johnson's coaching tenure with the Cowboys from 1989-1993 included a 44-36 regular-season record and two Super Bowl championships after the 1992 and 1993 seasons.

FIORELLO: “AFTER 40 YEARS OF CAREER THE INTERVIEWS STILL GIVE ME A LITTLE ANXIETY”
“Despite my 40-year career, I always fear interviews, I think I'm banal, inadequate or always say the same things. While the interviewer asks me the question, I'm already racking my brains on how to answer, also because today, with political correctness, everything becomes more difficult, you have to measure your words.” This is how Fiorello was interviewed by the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, on 'Stasera parla io' on Rai1 immediately after last night's Tg1, and jokingly says that he “already has a sweaty moustache” due to anxiety. And he confesses that the things that make him smile are life events, like when he sees the spectator “with all white hair who tells me: 'my husband brought me here as a birthday present'. And I say to her: 'Mrs. , but how cute is she, how old is she?' And she: '60'. But how? I'm 64! You get older and don't realize it, you always see people as if they were a little older than you, but they're not! And this made me laugh… .”. “The things that don't make me laugh, however, are the news we hear on the news or what we read in the newspapers, like the wars and feminicides that have been talked about so much. They are the things that we at 'Viva Rai2!' we try to omit news that darkens our lives. This is why we never talk about it in the morning, because we would like to be that little window of good humor that lasts 45 minutes, so then, after these 45 minutes, we will talk about those topics for the rest of the day “, concludes Fiorello.
TV: FIORELLO, 'PIPPO BAUDO IS A REFERENCE FOR ME AND FOR ALL THE SICILIANS WHO DO THIS PROFESSION'
Pippo Baudo “was and is a reference figure for all Sicilians who have undertaken this career. Pippo Baudo is Pippo Baudo, for us celebrating his birthday is like Christmas. I had the honor of meeting him and being his friend “. Word of Fiorello: the showman recounted the famous audition in which Baudo didn't take him. “He told me that I had to do something else, in the sense that I wasn't a three-minute artist. 'In three minutes you just say your name,' were his words. 'And I need people who in three minutes make me one show. You need an entire program but I'm already in this program' Baudo then told me.”
SANREMO: FIORELLO, 'MY FIRST FESTIVAL ONE OF THE BADEST MOMENTS OF LIFE, MY FATHER DIED'
“My first Sanremo was one of the worst moments of my life, I worked at Radio DJ and I was supposed to go around doing interviews and while I was there, the news arrived of the death of my father who was very young, he was 58 years old”. It is the memory of Rosario Fiorello who, interviewed by the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, for 'Stasera parla io' broadcast on Rai1, talks about the 1990 Sanremo Festival when he was told by phone that his father Nicola had died. “Now I'm older than my father was when he left and he seems very strange to me,” confesses the showman.
SANREMO: FIORELLO, 'AMADEUS HAS BROUGHT THE FESTIVAL BACK TO THE GLORY OF BAUDISM'
“Amadeus has brought the Sanremo Festival back to the glories of Baudism, a fact recognized by everyone, even by Pippo Baudo himself”. Word of Fiorello who, interviewed by the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, on 'Stasera parla io' broadcast on Rai1, says: “Is this the last Sanremo of Amadeus? Yes, the last of the series, now, but according I'll be back in two years…”. And to Chiocci's question if there was any disagreement with the host and artistic director of the Festival, Fiorello is clear: “Arguing with Amadeus? Never argued, you can't argue with him… There's an alchemy that was born from the first day we saw each other, love at first sight of friendship.” The showman talks about the experience of the Festival without an audience in 2021, during the pandemic: “It was difficult – he confesses – and the most complicated role was mine because Ama had to present the singers and I had to entertain… but who? I had to imagine the audience at home and I can assure you that it was difficult. But I'm happy I did it, it's something that will remain within me. I remember saying to Amadeus 'I'll start by singing'. And so I go down the stairs, I start singing and I see the audience empty. When I finish singing, the silence… just at the moment when you are used to hearing applause. Well, that was the worst fraction of a second of my career”, reveals Fiorello. As for the 2024 edition, “I only know one thing – says the showman – that there will be the glass of 'Viva Rai2!' outside the Ariston and I will have the opportunity to enter the theater but not to go on stage. We have made a rule because I have to go on stage on Saturday, the last evening of the Festival and the last evening of the Amadeus festival, when I go on the stage to take him away. So before then I can enter the room, but there will be signs on the stage saying 'I can't go up with my face'. I will be able to get to the top of the stairs but not go down them, and I will be able to go to the stalls but not go up on stage. Amadeus, on the other hand, being artistic director, can come down, cross the audience and come to me inside the glass where there may be guests that he doesn't know about, even crazy guests even from Festivals, but I will have them. Who knows …”, concludes Fiorello.
TV: FIORELLO, 'BERLUSCONI PROPOSED ME TO ENTER POLITICS BUT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO IT…'
“What if they asked me to go into politics? When I was in Milan, yes, Berlusconi was there at the time, we worked together with him so it happened.” Fiorello tells it when interviewed by the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, on 'Stasera parla io' on Rai1. And when asked if he would have liked to become a deputy or senator, the showman defends himself: “I wouldn't be capable of it.” Fiorello doesn't say too much about his relationship with politics: “I'm part of the old guard, although I want to compare myself to those greats – he observes – but at the time we didn't know who Walter Chiari was voting for. I want to do entertainment and not politics”. And when Chiocci asks him who he votes for, Fiorello laughs: “I'll never tell you. Do you want to know who I voted for? In the last three elections I changed sides twice. Who will I vote for in the European elections? I'll call you as soon as I leave the booth to tell you who I voted for”, jokes Fiorello.
FIORELLO, 'FATHER GEORG WAS AMUSED WITH THE PARODY I MADE HIM'
“The parody we made of Father Georg? It amused him.” Word of Fiorello who, interviewed by the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, on 'Stasera parla io' on Rai1, also talks about his experience with Pope Francis: “I went to the pope, we were in a group, and when I gave him my hand he made a face as if to say 'but look who's there'”, recalls the showman, author of a parody on Father Georg: “We took inspiration from the cover of 'Chi' where he was playing tennis. One day I was with my wife in a restaurant in Rome and at a certain point she said to me: 'There is a cardinal coming towards us'. It was Father Georg who patted me on the shoulder and said: 'Hi Fiorello, I'm Father Georg, I remember when you made fun of me…'. He was amused.”
FIORELLO, 'I MISS COSTANZO AND MIKE A LOT'
“Mike Bongiorno and Maurizio Costanzo, among the missing characters, are the ones I miss a lot, I had the most to do with them.” Fiorello says this when interviewed by the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, on 'Stasera parla io' on Rai1. “Costanzo was decisive for the change in my life, he welcomed me when I decided to come to Rome from Milan. On that occasion I met Susanna (Susanna Biondo, wife of the showman, ed.) and Costanzo told me: 'Don't do this run away, eh?'. I worked a lot with Mike and he had fun like a child”, recalls Fiorello who admits: “I have no regrets about my choices, I would do everything again”. Fiorello talks about his daughter Angelica who sang 'Io vagabondo' on 'Viva Rai2!', on the occasion of her father's 63rd birthday, making him move: “For kids of her age it's not an easy period, because today's 17-year-olds are like pre-pandemic 14-year-olds. Sometimes we talk about violent teenagers and in my opinion everything can be traced back to those two years of the pandemic. For us who are of a certain age, two years are nothing, but for a 14-year-old they are a lifetime.”
TV: FIORELLO, 'MY BIGGEST REGRET IS NOT HAVING STUDIED AS I WOULD HAVE WANTED'
“My biggest regret is that I didn't study as I would have liked because it was a question of attendance. When I went to school I did well.” Fiorello confesses in the long interview with the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, on 'Stasera parla io' broadcast on Rai1 immediately after Tg1. And he reveals that he would have liked to “read more, study music and learn to play an instrument, but above all learn a foreign language. I envy English children who already know how to speak English at the age of six”, he jokes. The showman also jokes about his possible retirement from the stage: “I have reached 63 years of age, 64 in May, and I think we are approaching the moment in which I will retire. I am not one of those who have a super-long career, let's say that between. .. okay, let's not say anything, we're not people of our word. Once I said 'I'll stop at 50' and I'm already at 63, so…”, laughs Fiorello.
TV: FIORELLO, 'MELONS AS BABYSITTER? VERY GOOD, SHE STUDIED AND LOVED LEGO'
“Meloni as a babysitter? You should ask my wife. She says she was very good, she studied while she was with the child, she didn't let her play with dolls, but she loved Lego, she built… However, a good memory, nothing to say about Giorgetta”. Fiorello says it with his usual irony, interviewed by the director of Tg1, Gian Marco Chiocci, on 'Stasera parla io' broadcast on Rai1 immediately after Tg1.

NEW DELHI: The Seattle Seahawks made several roster moves on Saturday, placing safety Jamal Adams on injured reserve and waiving outside linebacker Frank Clark. Adams has been dealing with a knee injury and was ruled out for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The move to injured reserve means he is done for the regular season, and he must miss four games before being eligible to return.
The Seahawks would need to win two playoff games for Adams to potentially be activated again this season. Adams has played in just nine games this season and has 48 tackles.
Frank Clark, who returned to the Seahawks in late October, was waived after an ineffective second stint with the team. Clark had six tackles and no sacks in six games. His status had been listed as out despite the team not reporting a specific injury. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll declined to provide further details on Clark's situation, stating, "I'm not talking about that anymore." Clark is a three-time Pro Bowl selection with 58.5 career sacks in 128 games.
In addition to Adams and Clark, the Seahawks placed receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) on injured reserve and downgraded linebacker Jordyn Brooks (ankle) from questionable to out against the Steelers. To fill the roster openings, Seattle signed linebacker Patrick O'Connell, safety Ty Okada, and offensive lineman Jake Curham from their practice squad. They also promoted cornerback Kelvin Joseph and nose Austin Faoliu from the practice squad for the upcoming game.

Trader Joe's Bacalhau Tartlettes Are Based On A Classic Portuguese Fish Dish
One of the perks of grocery shopping at Trader Joe's is the many specialty items inspired by a range of international cuisines. We've all probably seen (and eaten) its frozen mandarin orange chicken, potstickers, tamales, and an array of Indian foods like samosas and chicken curry. Out of all those options, perhaps one of the more unknown items is its newly-released Portuguese bacalhau tartlettes. They're made of all-butter crust tarts filled with bechamel, egg yolks, potato, and salted cod mixed with onion, garlic, nutmeg, and piri piri chilis, per Trader Joe's website.
At the first mention, you might think eating tarts filled with salted cod sounds strange, but it's actually a rendition of a classic Portuguese fish dish. The original dish is called pastéis de bacalhau, or salted cod fritters. The dish is traditionally made with salted cod, potato chunks, onion, and parsley or cilantro that are formed into oblong fritters and fried. You can eat them as a snack, hot or cold, served with a lemon wedge or tartar sauce. You'll find them across Portugal and in places with thriving Portuguese communities around the world.
Trying TJ's Portuguese-inspired bacalhau tartlettes
Speaking of Pasteis de Nata, the iconic grocer says its bacalhau tartlettes are made by the same supplier of its Portuguese custard tarts, so if you've ever tried those, expect the same authentic flavors. Custard tarts, or pasteis de nata, are also an integral part of Portuguese cuisine, so we think this is almost like a fusion of the two traditional dishes.
The cod-filled tarts also come frozen, so you'll need to preheat your oven and cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit before you take a bite. Trader Joe's recommends serving them with fresh lemon wedges, just like those traditional fritters that might have inspired these frozen treats. Pair them with a glass of chilled wine to kick off a meal or to serve at your next cocktail party.
The Portuguese bacalhau tartlettes come in a 9.3-ounce box for $4.99 plus taxes where applicable. A suggested serving size is four pieces, which contains 340 calories, 20 grams of fat, 85 milligrams of cholesterol, and 410 milligrams of sodium. And in case you have any allergies, the buttery cod-filled tarts contain milk, egg, and wheat. If you want to try the tarts, Trader Joe's recommends checking out your closest location for updated availability and pricing.

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."

NEW DELHI: Andy Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion hinted that 2024 might mark his farewell year with setbacks caused by illness and injuries affecting his preparation for the upcoming season.
Commencing his year at the Brisbane International, Murray aims to gear up for the Australian Open scheduled for later in January.
Sitting at the 42nd spot in the world rankings, the 36-year-old faced a challenging end to 2023, winning only a single match in his final four tournaments, adding to his frustrations.
Murray has previously battled back from what seemed impending retirement after undergoing hip surgery in 2018.
But he conceded that he will bring down the curtain on his career if the next 12 months follow the same pattern as 2023.
"If I was in a situation like I was at the end of last year, then I probably wouldn't go again," Murray told the BBC.
"But then if physically I'm doing well and my results are good and I'm playing well, then that's enjoyable and I could see myself still playing.
"We'll see how the year goes, see how the body holds up. If things are going well, I'd love to keep going. But if they're not, and I'm not enjoying it, it could be the last year, yes."
Murray, who won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 and also took the US Open title in 2012, is part of a golden generation coming towards the end of trophy-laden careers.
Roger Federer retired in 2022 and Rafael Nadal had an injury-blighted 2023, although the Spaniard has suggested he might try to play on beyond 2024.
At 36 Novak Djokovic is still hoping to add to his record 24 Grand Slam titles before hanging up his racket.
Murray revealed the psychological struggle with falling down the rankings after so many years at the top was taking its toll.
"When you have played right at the highest level, it's not that easy when you are going through periods where you are losing in first rounds, and maybe losing matches that you probably should have won," he added.
"At the same time, a couple of years ago if someone had offered me that I'd been playing at top-40 level in the world when I had been struggling with my hip, I would have been happy with that.
"But it is hard, mentally, so I need to do a better job of putting things in perspective this year and be a little bit easier on myself."
Murray faces second seed Grigor Dimitrov in the first round in Brisbane on Monday.

Infuse Your Lemonade With Fresh Herbs For A Bolder Drink
Lemonade may be a fresh and delicious drink all by itself, but it also has the benefit of being easily customizable. The tartness of lemon is a perfect pairing with many fruit flavors and helps balance out their sweetness. Strawberry, mango, and blueberry lemonades are all classic combinations that line store shelves but that's only scratching the surface of tasty pairings.
Some of the best versions are a little more subtle on their own, but deliver bold flavor when combined with herbs. Lemon and all kinds of fresh herbs are a classic pair in savory dishes, but ingredients like rosemary and basil can transform lemonade too. Unlike other flavors which can have their own sugar, they won't make your lemonade cloyingly sweet.
The citrus brings out extra flavor in the herbs as well, so just a handful can go a long way in adding more complexity to your drink. The world of herbs is full of unique tasting profiles, with the ability to add not just earthy notes, but peppery, piney, and even spicy flavors.
Which types of herbs pair best with lemonade
As for which herbs work best with lemonade, that's up to you. A few sprigs of rosemary or mint are all you need to make an incredible-tasting drink. Make sure you muddle the herbs first, as that will help activate their oils and increase the pungency. Next, mix your herbs with your lemonade and let it steep for 30 minutes to an hour. Then just strain out the herbs and drink.
If you're looking for a more earthy profile, try lemon verbena which doubles down on citrus while bringing a slightly sweet, grassy quality. For something a bit stronger, dried flowers like lavender and elderflower impart a complex flavor. However, if you're looking for a bit of heat, we suggest adding some thyme and ginger to your lemonade mix, which creates the perfect balance of spicy and sweet.
With this type of drink, fresh herbs truly give you endless possibilities.

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.

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.

EEC: Fewer barriers in Eurasian Economic Union
22:49, 13 February 2019
MINSK. KAZINFORM The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) believes that there is a positive trend towards eliminating barriers in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), BelTA reports citing the press service of the EEC commission following the meeting of the EEC Board.
"In Q4 2018, there was a positive trend towards fewer barriers in the EAEU domestic market," the press service informed. "The progress report on the elimination of trade barriers was reviewed at the meeting of the EEC Board."
Thus, in January-September 2018 the EAEU member states eliminated five barriers in the domestic market of the union. "According to the expert estimates, the removal of these obstacles will save businesses up to RUB350 million due to cost reductions," the EEC noted.

I wouldn't normally start the New Year with an old photograph. But sadly we lost one of our alpacas early this morning. He was one of two rescued alpaca's we added to our little herd 12 years ago. Not sure how old they were when they came to us. His brother sadly died last year. I used to call him Kookie Lukie.

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.”

From tears on a secret trip Down Under to a cryptic Instagram post: The signs that show Princess Mary was about to become Denmark's first Aussie queen
- Princess Mary is about to become queen of Denmark
- READ MORE: Meet the world's first Aussie-born queen
Australia's Crown Princess Mary will become queen of Denmark on January 14 - and there were some subtle signs that the popular royal was about to become Australia's first ever monarch.
Queen Margarethe II used her annual New Year's Eve speech on Sunday to announce she would be abdicating the throne, leaving Prince Frederik, 55, as her successor and Mary, 51, as Queen consort.
The monarch, 83, famed for her chain-smoking as well as her flamboyant sense of style, had been the longest-serving monarch in Europe following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
This may have been why Mary took a low-key and almost secret holiday to Australia and New Zealand with her family in early December.
On December 6, Mary touched down in Australia with her twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, both 12, before climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge together.
The trip was also used to signal that Mary and Frederik were very much united, after rumours of the prince's alleged 'affair' with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova rocking the royal family.
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark will be the next Danish queen and there were some subtle tip-offs the popular royal's role was about to change
Princess Mary then look a private jet to Queensland, where she was reunited with Frederik, and Princess Isabella, 16, for a much needed escape from the spotlight.
Frederik had been at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai where he attended the opening of the SIDS: A Just and Equitable Energy Transition Towards a Climate-Resilient Future Conference, spoke at How to Decarbonize the Hard-to-abate Sectors, and attended a Danish reception.
Mary's previous visit Down Under was in 2023 for her first official engagement in a decade.
However, this time the Tasmanian-born royal kept things personal and made sure to catch up with family and friends away from prying eyes.

The personal visit was the last bit of downtime before she takes the throne in two week's time.
On December 20 upon her return to Denmark, Mary shared a message on the Mary Foundation website and Instagram page hinting at her future 'success' and big things to come.
The letter was about loneliness and the need for positive human connection during the festive season but offered hints towards something bigger.
Leading up to the announcement, Mary was spotted on holiday in Australia and New Zealand with her family on her most low-key visit Down Under
She added: 'And at the same time, so much has happened that it is impossible to put it all into words.'
'We close 2023 soon and go on Christmas holidays with a gratitude for all that we humans can do when we do it together. We need each other if we are to succeed.'
A gorgeous picture of the royal in the snow was posted alongside the powerful message.
She wore a purple jacket beneath a warm woollen wrap and gave a soft smile toward the camera.
In November rumours swirled about an alleged 'affair' between Prince Frederik and Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova after they were photographed on a night out in Spain.
While the allegations could have been enough to end many relationships Mary and Frederik took a 'business as normal' attitude during their royal engagements.
The pair retained a united front so as to appear as strong contenders for future king and queen.

On Christmas Eve, Mary and Frederik were seen holding hands as they entered Aarhus Cathedral for a Christmas Eve church service.
The royal couple were all smiles as they stepped out alongside Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella Prince Vincent, and Princess Josephine before celebrating Christmas Day at Marselisborg Castle with Queen Margrethe.
The Danish royals were rocked by photos published in October that showed Prince Frederik out for the evening in Madrid with the 47-year-old socialite.
As Spanish magazine Lecturas published the photos and alleged the pair had spent the evening at a bodega in the Spanish capital where they watched flamenco dancing and dined into the early hours, Genoveva hit back at 'malicious' rumours she was romantically involved with the heir to the Danish throne.
Since the photos emerged Princess Mary has remained tight-lipped about her husband's dinner with the socialite.
