You can check out at any time. More info I'm A Celebrity fans spotted a surprising detail about Dean McCullough during the latest episode of the popular reality series. The campmates were forced to ride the Fright Bus in the opening segment of Tuesday's episode (November 26), with every single contestant taking a seat on a bus and given a very unpleasant ride. However, most viewers were distracted by Dean's behaviour during the challenge as some even accused the Radio 1 host of 'faking it'. It comes after Dean earned the public vote to undergo a Bushtucker trial five times in a row. He even uttered the infamous phrase 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' twice and during one attempt earned zero stars. Although during his latest attempt he managed double figures for the first time. However, while most the celebrities were constantly screaming, Dean was relatively calm, much to the surprise of many watching on from home. One fan said: "Dean screaming the least? Is he ok?". Another viewer posting on social media added: "Na the difference in Dean doing the fright bus compared to the trials is actually embarrassing! Just shows how much he’s been overdramatic and playing on it for the camera time/attention!". While a third posted: "Suddenly Dean has no fear .... cementing the suspicion of his dramatics being faker than that of a premier league footballer." One fan commented that it was a ploy to gain the public vote as they said: "Oh Dean has just proved all our points he was doing it all to get the votes to do the trails to get the screen time." Following the campmates performance on the Fright Bus, many now predict that Tulisa will receive the public vote for the next Bushtucker trial as Barry had to constantly help brush critters off her. During I'm A Celebrity Unpacked it was revealed that Maura and Jane would face the Bushtucker trial. The latest challenge was dubbed the Fright at the end of the Tunnel. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX followed by Unpacked on ITV2BOARDWALKTECH REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

FACT FOCUS: Vermont ruling does not say schools can vaccinate children without parental consent

Where to Watch Clemson vs. The Citadel on TV or Streaming Live – Nov. 23The UEFA Champions League returned this week and with only four games remaining in the league phase, the pressure is on several teams to perform as the race for the top eight spots heats up. Liverpool are the last team standing with a perfect record, though they might face their biggest test yet on Wednesday when they take on reigning champions Real Madrid, who could use a big result after an up-and-down start to their European season. Bayern Munich were in a similar position with just six points out of their opening 12, but they defeated a Paris Saint-Germain team who are now further on the outside looking in at a spot in the top 24 with just four points from their opening five games. Here are our expert picks for this matchday: Don't miss any of the Champions League. As always, you can catch all of our coverage across Paramount+ , CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network all season long. Wednesday Liverpool vs. Real Madrid Player to watch: Kylian Mbappe – In the absence of Vinicius Junior he's going to be back in his favored left wing spot and Mbappe will be acutely aware that the eyes' of the world will be on him in what is probably the biggest clash of the league phase. We know how the Frenchman tends to perform under the spotlight. He could be really, really good. -- James Benge Man of the match: Mo Salah – Despite the words said after the last weekend, when the striker said he has not received any new contract proposal from his team, all the eyes will be on the Egyptian player who is having another great season at Liverpool. So far, he scored one goal in the opening four games of the Champions League but also 10 in the 12 Premier League matches he has played up to now. -- Francesco Porzio Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Real -- It has been a tricky start to the season for Real while Liverpool look strong across both the European and domestic scenes with top spot in the Premier League but also Champions League. Los Blancos need to be better than they have been with Kylian Mbappe still struggling to reach his best form. Expect a narrow Reds win on another big Anfield occasion. Best bet: Over 3.5 goals (+132) – When Real Madrid are counted out of a match is when they're at their best, but with these two sides meeting, goals are on the menu. Mohamed Salah can't be stopped and Liverpool's defense has also been conceding more chances as of late. Not having Vinicius Junior will come as a blow for Los Blancos but that doesn't mean that they won't have plenty of attacking power to handle. -- Chuck Booth Aston Villa vs. Juventus Player to watch: Teun Koopmeiners – Watching almost anyone in black and white this season has been a grim experience and this doesn't feel like the game that neutrals should be switching over for on Wednesday night. Still if anyone might leave an impression on the Villa Park faithful it should be Koopmeiners, who should see this game as an opportunity to stamp control on a midfield that looks off it without the ball. -- James Benge Man of the match: Kenan Yildiz – The Turkish talent has been one of the best players for Juventus this season and the Bianconeri need a win against the side coached by Unai Emery that is not living his best moment since he took charge of the English team. Yildiz needs to show his skills outside Italy and the game at Villa Park might be the right place to do it. -- Francesco Porzio Prediction: Villa 1-1 Juve -- It has been a strong start to Villa's Champions League return although things are slowing down right now after a loss to Club Brugge. Big European nights at Villa Park have already seen Bayern beaten and it should carry Unai Emery's side again here. Juve are just outside of the main UCL contenders as they are also in Serie A. With that in mind, a score draw sounds about right. -- Jonathan Johnson Best bet: Draw (+220) – Two teams who can grind any soccer match to a halt will meet in the Midlands and a draw feels like the most likely result. Both Villa and Juventus have been able to score opportunistic goals, but one of the side effects of the new League Phase is that it incentivizes not losing as long as you defat the teams that you need to defeat. -- Chuck BoothThe Scottish , Dr. Brian Plastow, welcomes ongoing discussions between the UK and Scotland about the future of live facial recognition technology. The Labor government plans to conduct a series of by police before the end of the year. The dialogue follows the announcement that the Scottish Police Authority and Police Scotland and the Commissioner will hold tripartite discussions on the potential benefits and risks of LFR. The three parties co-hosted the first ever “ ” in Edinburgh in June, where they agreed to the talks. Meanwhile, in Romford, London, the Metropolitan Police reported four arrests following the deployment of live facial recognition systems at key public locations, . The technology successfully flagged individuals wanted for offenses including robbery and serious assault. When it came to identifying suspects involved in the past summer’s riots, Northumbria Police utilized retrospective facial recognition, leading to several arrests in Sunderland following the disorder on August 2, reports. The force reported analyzing over 10,000 hours of CCTV footage using advanced facial recognition software that they say can identify people wearing masks to support their investigation. Northumbria Police emphasized the effectiveness of the technology in aiding their efforts to maintain public safety, but the debate over privacy and oversight continues. Data privacy concerns that footage from could be searched with retrospective facial recognition, which is not built in, have delayed their rollout in Scotland In the Netherlands, Dutch police reported identifying 424 suspects using a forensic facial recognition system called CATCH in 2023. The system, which matches images from surveillance footage against a database of known individuals, was credited with solving a range of crimes, from burglaries to violent offenses, . Operated by the Dutch Center for Biometrics in Zoetermeer, CATCH — short for Central Automated Technology for Recognition — relies on a specialized database of facial images gathered during criminal investigations. This database includes photographs of both suspects and convicted individuals. Police submitted 1,693 images as part of criminal investigations, only 1,033 of which were deemed suitable for comparison. The 424 matches represented a marked increase from 104 in 2022. Dutch officials emphasized that they do not use live facial recognition, as well as their adherence to the country’s Police Data Act. Yet, like their counterparts in the UK, they face criticism over the lack of public awareness and the potential for misuse. Civil liberties organizations are urging governments to adopt comprehensive policies that address algorithmic transparency, data retention, and public accountability. | | | | | | | | | |

The New York Yankees have agreed to sign left-handed pitcher Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million dollar contract -- the largest ever for a left-handed hurler, MLB.com reported Tuesday. The reported deal would be the fourth-largest for any pitcher, a list led by the Los Angeles Dodgers' 10-year, $700 million contract with Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani. Fried would join right-hander Gerrit Cole in a formidable Yankees rotation. He had an 11-10 record with the Atlanta Braves last season with a 3.25 earned run average in 29 starts. Fried gave up 146 hits and 57 walks with 166 strikeouts for the Braves and tied the Major League Baseball lead with two complete games. The Yankees' reported signing of Fried comes after the club missed out on Dominican superstar Juan Soto, who entered free agency after playing for the Yankees last year but is reportedly headed to the New York Mets on a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million deal. bb/js © Agence France-PressePITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby broke Mario Lemieux’s Pittsburgh franchise career record for assists on Michael Bunting’s power-play goal and the Penguins beat the New York Islanders 3-2 on Sunday night. Crosby has 1,034 assists, good for 12th in NHL history. Only three players — Ray Bourque, Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman — have more assists with a single team. The 37-year-old Crosby has played 1,310-regular-season games. Lemieux played 915. Philip Tomasino added the deciding power-play goal in the third for Pittsburgh, which has 14 goals with the man advantage in its last 13 games. Anthony Beauvillier also scored to help the Penguins win for the seventh time in their last eight home games. Alex Nedeljkovic made 29 saves in his first start since Dec. 17. Kris Letang missed the game because of a lower-body injury, and defenseman Nathan Clurman made his NHL debut. Anders Lee scored two third-period goals for the Islanders, who fell behind 3-0 before their rally fell short. Marcus Hogberg stopped 38 shots during his first start since April 28, 2021. Takeaways Islanders: Have lost five of their last eight games after splitting the back-to-back, home-and-home series with Pittsburgh. Penguins: Rebounded from a 6-3 road loss against the Islanders 24 hours ago. Pittsburgh has won 10 of 15 after losing eight of its previous 10 games. Key moment Crosby was behind the net when he sent a backhand feed to Bunting, who buried his seventh power-play goal behind Hogberg at 1:36 of the second period, giving the Penguins a 2-0 lead.

Israel Adesanya’s upcoming UFC Saudi Arabia headliner features 10 undercard fights with a nice blend of stylistic matchups and ranked contenders. It’s rare to see former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya headlining a UFC Fight Night card. But ahead of his UFC Saudi Arabia main event against Nassourdine Imavov, Adesanya’s first Fight Night showcase features a pay-per-view quality undercard. Adesanya and Imavov square off in the UFC Saudi Arabia main event on February 1st in Riyadh. The card marks the promotion’s return to the kingdom after hosting a UFC Fight Night event in June, featuring another middleweight headliner between Robert Whittaker and Ikram Aliskerov. Adesanya returns to the cage for the first time looking to overcome back-to-back title fight defeats. While Adesanya’s return against the surging Imavov is at the top of the heap, there are many extraordinary matchups on the undercard, including a middleweight co-main between Shara Magomedov and Michael ‘Venom’ Page . Ranked fighters such as Sergei Pavlovich, Shamil Gaziev, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik will also return at UFC Saudi Arabia. READ MORE: Joe Rogan claims surprising modern-day UFC champion deserves to be in the ‘Greatest of all-time’ discussion Fans go ballistic after UFC Saudi Arabia bout list revealed featuring Israel Adesanya After the UFC revealed the full bout list for its upcoming Saudi Arabia card, fans went wild on social media. “This is a banging card,” one fan tweeted. “Pretty phenomenal lineup for a fight night card! Looking forward to another great year of UFC events!” “11/10 Fight Night.” “Loaded UFC fight night card? Sign me up.” “Ridiculous card.” “Grab it fans!” “Do I travel to Saudi Arabia just to watch Shara ??” “[Riyadh Season] is dominating the fight game right now.” UFC Saudi Arabia is one of many marquee events scheduled in the kingdom in 2025. Just three weeks after the UFC’s return, Riyadh will play host to one of the most stacked cards in boxing history, featuring a light heavyweight title rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol . READ MORE: Oleksandr Usyk vs Jon Jones in UFC? Fans call for MMA super-fight after learning of boxing champion’s Martial Arts background Israel Adesanya seeks redemption after Dricus du Plessis loss Adesanya faces a ‘must-win’ situation at UFC Saudi Arabia to keep his title hopes within grasp. After back-to-back defeats, and approaching his late 30s, Adesanya’s proposed retirement deadline is on the horizon. Adesanya fell short against Dricus du Plessis at UFC 305 earlier this year, losing by fourth-round submission. It was the first time he was submitted in his MMA career and just the fourth defeat of his UFC promotional tenure. Before the du Plessis fight, Adesanya suffered one of the biggest upsets in UFC history against Sean Strickland at UFC 293 last year. The loss abruptly ended his second middleweight title reign after reclaiming the belt against Alex Pereira at UFC 287. Imavov gets the biggest booking of his UFC career after recent wins over Jared Cannonier, Roman Dolidze, and Brendan Allen. He’s unbeaten through his last four fights since a light heavyweight loss to Strickland last year. Adesanya vs. Imavov is one of the early marquee UFC fights in 2025, and the rest of the fight lineup presents a potential all-time great event in Saudi Arabia.

Jon Jones recalls a terrifying encounter while he was in jail before becoming the UFC GOATHisense, a global leader in consumer electronics and home appliances has partnered with Modern Home, Hisense’s strategic partner and official distributor in Qatar, to open its new brand store in Al-Rayyan on Sunday. The event was attended by Chinese ambassador Cao Xiaolin, Darwish Holding chairman and managing director Bader al-Darwish, senior management from Hisense and Modern Home, and other guests. In a press statement, Hisense Middle East and Africa president Jason Ou said: “We are delighted to open our second dedicated brand store in Qatar in collaboration with Modern Home. This milestone reaffirms our dedication to strengthening our presence in the Qatari market, where we see significant potential for growth and innovation. “This new store offers customers an opportunity to experience Hisense’s latest AI-driven solutions firsthand, from smart home appliances to premium televisions, all thoughtfully designed to enhance modern living”. Hisense’s new brand store on Al Shafi Street brings its innovative, AI-powered technology and smart home appliances directly to consumers in Qatar. The store features a wide selection of products, including premium televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners. Addressing the partnership, al-Darwish said: “Our partnership with Hisense reflects a shared vision of bringing world-class technology and innovation closer to our discerning customers. Following the success of our first store in Lagoona Mall, this new location further enhances our mission to provide unparalleled access to cutting-edge products that elevate everyday living and redefine the smart home experience”. The opening marks a significant step in Hisense’s regional expansion, furthered by initiatives including a Dubai research and development centre, an Egyptian factory, and partnerships with major global sports organisations. Highlighting Hisense’s broader regional growth strategy, Hisense Marketing and E-Commerce director Fazalur Rahman told Gulf Times that the company’s strategy in the MEA region focuses on expanding its network of exclusive brand stores. This, he pointed out, is driven by Hisense’s comprehensive product range – covering televisions, washing machines, cookers, air conditioners, and more – and a goal of penetrating the premium market segment. According to Rahman, Hisense plans to open approximately 45 brand stores across MEA this year to capitalise on the region’s high GDP and strong purchasing power, further solidifying its premium brand positioning. About the Qatar market, he said: “It’s quite significant because there are only few markets in the GCC region, apart from, say Kuwait, UAE, where the consumer’s buying power is pretty good”. Rahman noted that other markets such as the UAE have a higher expat population. However, in the Qatar market, locals are significant consumers who value high-quality products and established brands that deliver tangible benefits and positive experiences. He said Hisense’s global strategy now is shifting towards higher-tech products, particularly AI-based offerings. Several AI products, he added, will be unveiled at the CES in the US in January. It will launch a 136-inch high-end television and a unique line of laser TVs ranging from 88 to 300 inches, catering to customers with larger homes seeking premium viewing experiences. Hisense, a leading technology and sports brand, further solidified its global presence by becoming the first Official Partner of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, renewing its UEFA Euro 2024 sponsorship, and continuing its strategic alliance with Real Madrid.

The Peach Bowl in Atlanta where they'll faceoff against either Clemson or Texas. "This year was unbelievable. It really was. It exceeded expectations," said Seth Deitchman a former President of the ASU Alumni Association. Aimee Rene, president of the ASU Alumni Association in Georgia, shared the same sentiment. "Coach Kenny, we're so proud of you and the guys. It's going to be an awesome game. We can't wait," she said. "To be in the Big 12 championship was unbelievable. And then to win it and we were there," said Deitchman. "My son and I were there for the game and it was so great." Rene was also at the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington. "We had gone to Arlington last week and then came back and we got the news the next day that they're going to be right in my backyard. I mean, I cried so many times during like the last few games because I just can't believe it. It's like, so exciting," said Rene. Featured Newcomer Arizona State beats Iowa State in Big 12 title game to earn spot in College Football Playoff The Arizona State Sun Devils beat the Iowa State Cyclones to win the Big 12 Championship in their first year in the conference. They are heading to the first ever College Football Playoff. The Georgia ASU alumni chapter is beyond thrilled to host. "I've already had a ton of people reaching out to us, asking us if they can be involved or if they can, you know, help with the tailgates or, you know, organizations that are inviting us to come out to events. So, there's definitely going to be a lot of a lot of excitement. But also, we are ready to do whatever we need to do to make it a really successful time," said Rene. Flights to Atlanta from Phoenix have already skyrocketed and you can bet tickets for the game will be the same, which is why the former Deitchman says his phone is blowing up. The Peach Bowl is scheduled for New Year's Day at 11:00 a.m. Information for this story was gathered by FOX 10 reporter Lindsey Ragas.Beth Dooley | (TNS) The Minnesota Star Tribune The holidays loom large. Parties, gift-shopping, school programs, recitals, family gatherings — there’s really no time to cook. But there is! Here are three quick and easy recipes you can hustle to the table in 30 minutes or less. Relax, take a deep breath and know that dinner is served. Crispy–Garlicky Sheet Pan Grilled Cheese Serves 4. Making grilled cheese for more than one can be tricky. Here, the sheet pan does the work; the sandwiches are ready all at once. Try our suggested fillings or just enjoy them plain in all their gooey deliciousness. From Beth Dooley. Directions Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the butter to the edge of 4 slices of bread. Place the slices butter-side down on the sheet pan. Top with the sliced cheese and add a layer of the filling, then top with the remaining slices of bread. Put the pan in the oven and cook until the butter is thoroughly melted and bottom slices are turning golden and the cheese is melting, about 8 to 10 to minutes. Flip the sandwiches. Continue cooking until the top layer of bread begins to turn golden and the cheese is melted. Turn the oven to broil and toast the top layer, watching closely, this goes quickly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the bread and toast the other side, about 15 to 20 seconds or so. Remove, cut and serve. Quick Skillet Chicken with Lemon, Tahini and Warm Spices will come together quickly and can be served on a bed of greens or pasta. (Ashley Moyna Schwickert/For the Minnesota Star Tribune) Quick Skillet Chicken with Lemon, Tahini and Warm Spices Serves 4 to 6. A simple marinade of pantry staples — lemon, tahini, olive oil and a little honey — keeps the chicken moist and becomes the sauce for finishing the dish. Serve on a bed of dark greens or cooked rice. From Beth Dooley. Directions In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon, tahini, honey and olive oil. Measure out 1⁄2 of the mixture into a separate bowl. This is to sauce the chicken after it’s cooked. If it seems too thick, whisk in a little water. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and pound with the flat edge of a knife to even out the width a bit. Put the chicken into the bowl of marinade and turn to coat. Film a heavy skillet with more oil and set over high heat. When the oil begins to ripple, add the chicken, reduce the heat to medium and cook, flipping after about 5 to 7 minutes, and continuing, until cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. (The chicken should reach 165 on an instant-read thermometer when done.) Remove the chicken from the skillet, set on a cutting board to rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the meat in long strokes against the grain. Serve on a bed of greens or rice, garnished with a drizzle of sauce, chopped herbs and a few thinly sliced lemons. Pass additional sauce on the side. One-Pot Pasta with Sausage, Tomato and Spinach is a quick but hearty meal for busy, chilly nights. (Ashley Moyna Schwickert/For the Minnesota Star Tribune) One-Pot Pasta with Sausage, Tomatoes and Spinach Serves 4 to 6. You only need one pot for this simple pasta. The sausage adds the seasoning, the onions turn sweetly golden, cherry tomatoes burst into a luscious sauce. A squeeze of lemon at the end livens things up. From Beth Dooley. Directions Film a large heavy pot or Dutch oven with the oil and set over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it turns limp and golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage, breaking apart with a spatula until it crumbles, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and the stock, scraping up the bottom of the pan to release browned bits that stick to the bottom. Bring to a boil. Add the pasta, stirring well and continue boiling for about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to a brisk simmer, stirring to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. If the sauce becomes too thick and the pasta begins to stick, stir in water, about 1⁄4 cup at a time. Simmer until the sauce is mostly absorbed and the pasta is tender, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach, then stir in the cheese. Add lemon juice to taste. Serve garnished with the chopped parsley.

Stock indexes closed mixed on Wall Street at the end of a rare bumpy week. The S&P 500 ended little changed Friday. The benchmark index reached its latest in a string of records a week ago. It lost ground for the week following three weeks of gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2%. The Nasdaq composite edged up 0.1%. Broadcom surged after the semiconductor company beat Wall Street’s profit targets and gave a glowing forecast, highlighting its artificial intelligence products. RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, surged after raising its revenue forecast. Treasury yields rose in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks slipped in afternoon trading Friday as Wall Street closes out a rare bumpy week. The S&P 500 was up by less than 0.1% and is on track for a loss for the week after three straight weekly gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 58 points, or 0.1% to 43,856 as of 3 p.m. Eastern time. The Nasdaq rose 0.1% and is hovering around its record. Broadcom surged 24.9% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after the semiconductor company beat Wall Street’s profit targets and gave a glowing forecast, highlighting its artificial intelligence products. The company also raised its dividend. The company's big gain helped cushion the market's broader fall. Pricey stock values for technology companies like Broadcom give the sector more weight in pushing the market higher or lower. Artificial intelligence technology has been a focal point for the technology sector and the overall stock market over the last year. Tech companies, and Wall Street, expect demand for AI to continue driving growth for semiconductor and other technology companies. Even so, some big tech stocks were in the red Friday. Nvidia slid 2.6%, Meta Platforms dropped 1.7% and Netflix was down 0.7%. Furniture and housewares company RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, surged 14.2% after raising its forecast for revenue growth for the year. Wall Street's rally stalled this week amid mixed economic reports and ahead of the Federal Reserve's last meeting of the year. The central bank will meet next week and is widely expected to cut interest rates for a third time since September. Expectations of a series of rate cuts has driven the S&P 500 to . The Fed has been lowering its benchmark interest rate following an aggressive rate hiking policy that was meant to tame inflation. It raised rates from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023. Inflation eased under pressure from higher interest rates, nearly to the central bank's 2% target. The economy, including consumer spending and employment, held strong despite the squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. A slowing job market, though, has helped push a long-awaited reversal of the Fed's policy. Inflation rates have been warming up slightly over the last few months. A report on consumer prices this week showed an increase to 2.7% in November from 2.6% in October. The Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures index, will be released next week. Wall Street expects it to show a 2.5% rise in November, up from 2.3% in October. The economy, though, remains solid heading into 2025 as consumers continue spending and employment remains healthy, said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY. “Still, the outlook is clouded by unusually high uncertainty surrounding regulatory, immigration, trade and tax policy,” he said. Treasury yields edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.40% from 4.34% late Thursday. European markets slipped. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.1%. Britain’s economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.1% month-on-month in October, following a 0.1% decline in September, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. Asian markets closed mostly lower. Damian J. Troise And Alex Veiga, The Associated Press

After last week’s chaotic Carabao Cup quarter-final exit at Tottenham was compounded by an Old Trafford humbling at the hands of Bournemouth, things went further awry as they fell to a third straight loss. United captain Bruno Fernandes’s red card for a second booking changed the dynamics of the match shortly after half-time, with Matheus Cunha scoring direct from a corner at a rocking Molineux. Wolves’ star man teed up substitute Hwang Hee-chan to wrap up a 2-0 win deep in stoppage time as Amorim’s 10th match in charge ended in a fifth defeat, leaving them 14th in the Premier League table. “The idea needs time,” United’s head coach said. “I said it before to you guys that this will be a tough moment and we are far from the end of this moment and that’s it. “We have to continue and focus on the next game.” Asked how long he thinks it will take to make his mark, Amorim said: “I have no idea. No idea. Instead of me trying to understand how much time it will take, just day by day. “Improving, trying to see the videos, using every minute of training and try to win some points because it’s really important in this moment.” United are closer in points to the drop zone than the Champions League places heading into their final match of a topsy-turvy 2024 at home to in-form Newcastle. “In this moment, we just have to survive and to win some time to work on the team,” Amorim said. “We already knew it. I start this job and you start with the team, a new idea, without any time to train, with a lot of games, tough games. “We already knew it, so it’s a long journey, like I said in the first day. We have to continue, and we have to fight these bad moments because this is part of football.” Put to Amorim that he cannot think of European qualification right now, he said: “No, no, no, no. “We have to work on a lot of things in our club – inside the pitch, outside the pitch – so let’s focus on each game, each time and use every minute of training and game to improve the team.” As United nurse their wounds, Wolves head to Tottenham on Sunday looking to continue their perfect start to life under Pereira as Gary O’Neil’s successor followed up an impressive 3-0 win at Leicester in style. "We need his quality!" Wolves boss Vítor Pereira is determined to keep Matheus Cunha at the club 🔒👀 #PLonPrime #WOLMUN pic.twitter.com/3KyZSQ1V9x — Amazon Prime Video Sport (@primevideosport) December 26, 2024 “Fantastic feeling,” the Portuguese said after his first home match in charge. “Special because of the spirit of the team. “Now I think we can see that the players are ready to suffer together. They are ready to run, to fight, to compete for each ball. “I feel that they have confidence to play and to win the duels to and this is most the most important for me.” Pereira’s name echoed around Molineux after a win in which Cunha was the star man, with the forward’s goal direct from a corner a key moment in the triumph. United also conceded in that manner at Spurs last Thursday, when back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir rather than Andre Onana was between the sticks. Asked if he looked at the video of that, Pereira said: “Of course we analyse every match. “We try to, I think all the staffs, try to understand the movements or the spaces that we can explore, and we try to not allow them to do it against us. This is football. Sometimes happens, other times not.”

Portuguese football veteran Nani recently made headlines in the local media after revealing that he had engaged in discussions with Primeira Liga giants Benfica and FC Porto before ultimately deciding to join Sporting CP. The decision to choose Sporting CP, the club where Nani began his professional career, has been praised by fans and pundits alike for its display of loyalty and emotional connection.The champions had descended into crisis after a run of seven games without a win – six of which were defeats and the other an embarrassing 3-3 draw after leading 3-0. Four of those losses had come in the Premier League, heavily damaging their chances of claiming a fifth successive title, but they appeared to turn the corner by sweeping Forest aside at the Etihad Stadium. “We needed it,” said City manager Guardiola. “The club, the players, everyone needed to win.

We still conceded some transitions and missed some easy things and lost some passes that you have to avoid, but in general, the most important thing was to break this routine of not winning games and we won it.” Kevin De Bruyne, making his first start since September after overcoming a pelvic injury, made a huge difference to a side that appeared rejuvenated. His powerful header was turned in by Bernardo Silva for the opening goal and the Belgian followed up with a powerful strike to make it 2-0. The 33-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season but it was a strong riposte to recent suggestions of a rift with Guardiola. A sweet strike 💥 ⚡️ #HighSpeedMoments | @eAndGroup pic.twitter.com/WJOkfKo2zr — Manchester City (@ManCity) December 4, 2024 “I’m so happy for him,” said Guardiola of De Bruyne’s telling contribution. “Last season he was many months injured and this season as well. “I’m so happy he’s back. He fought a lot, he’s worked and he’s back with his physicality. The minutes he played in Anfield were really good and today he played 75 fantastic minutes.” Jeremy Doku wrapped up a pleasing win when he finished a rapid counter-attack just before the hour but there was still a downside for City with injuries to defenders Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji. Guardiola said: “For Nathan it doesn’t look good and Manu has struggled a lot over the last two months. We will see. “Phil (Foden) has bronchitis but when he doesn’t have fever he will be ready.” Despite City’s dominance, Forest did have some bright moments and manager Nuno Espirito Santo was not downbeat. He said: “When you lose 3-0 and you say it was a good performance maybe people don’t understand, but I will not say that was a bad performance. “There are positive things for us in the game. Of course there are a lot of bad things, mistakes, but we had chances. “We didn’t achieve but I think we come out proud of ourselves because we tried. For sure, this game will allow us to grow.”

Nearly two months after Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, the controversies surrounding FEMA's botched response could have been avoided if the federal agency had apolitical managers overseeing operations and had not diverted funds for illegal aliens. With winter looming over the Appalachian region, at least a thousand people—some of them children—are still living in temporary housing, such as tents. American victims of hurricane Helene are now being forced to live in donated tents during freezing temperatures in Western North Carolina while the federal government pays for illegal immigrants to live in hotels.

The blundering so far has been inexcusable, You have a chance to finish strong here," Meteorologist Joe Bastardi wrote on X . Bastardi's weather models forecast that a cold blast will descend into the region next week. The incoming cold weather coincides with a report from local media outlet WLOS stating that "hundreds of local families are left with nowhere to go" in Western North Carolina, adding, "Now some of these children are living in tents and cars..." Bloomberg data shows temps across Asheville are expected to crash to sub-freezing levels through the end of the month into early December. This is shocking, as WLOS provides new figures: The Buncombe County Family Resource Center tells News 13 that they've identified 878 new homeless students since the storm. That is in addition to the 274 students identified in Buncombe County as homeless before Helene. It totals 1,152 kids without permanent homes, some living in tents, cars and campers.

He sat down, then he laughed. Record scratch. Freeze frame. “You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.” The ref laughs as he calls a personal foul on Aaron Rodgers for a late hit. pic.twitter.com/eJ1GDzPzD1 — Rate the Refs App (@Rate_the_Refs) December 29, 2024 It’s Week 17 and the Jets lost again, a stinker of the highest order. Rodgers’ pick and late hit was one of many lowlights in a game that would get much, much worse from there. A 12-0 deficit turned into 19-0, then 26-0, then 33-0, then 40-0 — and then Rodgers, according to Rodgers, told interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich that it might be time to for him to give way to backup Tyrod Taylor, who led the Jets on two scoring drives to close out the game. Final score: 40-14. The Jets’ record is 4-12, their season reaching a level of futility that seemed unfathomable when the year began. Imagine saying that Rodgers would play all 17 games — he’s expected to start again next week — and that the Jets would be sitting here on Dec. 29, on the verge of a full-scale teardown, wondering how it all went so wrong. Advertisement “I mean, it’s kind of like the season, it just got away from us,” Rodgers said, staring at the likelihood that next week’s season finale will be his last game in a Jets uniform — and possibly his last in the NFL. “Too many games got away from us. We were moving the ball and then we just hit a wall and that’s kind of been the season.” So how did the Jets, and Rodgers, get here? Well, through a series of poor offseason decisions by general manager Joe Douglas, a rash of reactive decisions from owner Woody Johnson — namely firing Robert Saleh after Week 5 — and a team that by the end of the year has not appeared to care about much, other than getting to the finish line. Sunday’s effort might have been the worst of the season, from start to finish, a game that saw the Jets penalized 16 times for 120 yards, turn the ball over three times (twice on Rodgers interceptions, once on a lost Garrett Wilson fumble) and fall flat on their face, over and over again, in the same way they have most weeks since Ulbrich took over for Saleh. “I was at peace with everything last week. It finally took me last week to be like: It is what it is,” cornerback D.J. Reed said. “But the frustration just creeped in. Even though we’ve got a bad record we’ve still gotta go out there and put stuff on tape that’s good. The fact that we’re not is very frustrating. Going out like that is unacceptable. It’s the NFL. Every game is supposed to be competitive. To be down 40-0, that s—‘s embarrassing, point blank, period.” Added Wilson: “I always feel like we go out there, the vibe feels right, we’re ready to play. Then we get our ass kicked.” Cornerback Sauce Gardner pointed out that the last Bills game — a 23-20 loss in Week 6 — was close. “So if you ask me, that means it’s the end of the season. Obviously we’re not going to playoffs. Some people might be checked out. That’s just me going off speculation ... we can’t be playing as a team. We’re probably just individuals because last year and the year before we had a roster that wasn’t as talented as this roster, but we found ways to beat the Bills. What’s stopping that now?” Advertisement There are plenty of problems for the Jets to confront, and it will be on a new general manager and a new head coach to figure out how to fix them. But it’s undeniable that the Rodgers marriage has been an unmitigated disaster. In recent weeks, it’s as if the future Hall of Famer has been trolling Johnson, like he wants the Jets owner to release him at the end of the season. On Tuesday last week, Rodgers cracked a joke about the idea of Johnson’s teenage son, Brick, being the one to release him. The next day, Rodgers told reporters he believes there’s a nonzero chance he’s released promptly after the season — and he didn’t sound too upset at the prospect. Lately, Rodgers has seemed more concerned with throwing for his 500th career touchdown pass, and he’s desperately tried to make sure wide receiver Davante Adams, his longtime close friend, is the one to catch it. That’s impacted his already tenuous relationship with Wilson. A few weeks ago, The Athletic reported that Wilson was unhappy with the direction of the Jets. On Sunday, an NFL Network report suggested that the disintegration of the Wilson-Rodgers relationship started during training camp when they got into a heated, animated discussion during a practice that made waves on social media (the two downplayed it afterward). It’s only gotten worse since Adams arrived via trade on Oct. 15. Now, per NFL Network, Wilson might not want to return to the Jets if Rodgers is still around. If the Jets are choosing between Rodgers and Wilson, the correct choice is obvious: The 24-year-old star receiver, putting the finishing touches on his third straight 1,000-yard season, not the 41-year-old quarterback coming off one of his worst-ever games (12 of 18, 112 yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions) and the circus that follows him. Advertisement Ulbrich didn’t have much to say about Rodgers’ performance on Sunday. “I got to look at the tape honestly,” Ulbrich said. “I didn’t get to see a whole lot of the offense.” It’s not hard to figure out which of the Jets’ two veteran quarterbacks Wilson prefers. In last week’s loss to the Rams, Rodgers got the Jets into the red zone early in the fourth quarter and on fourth down forced a fade to Adams rather than targeting Wilson, who was open elsewhere (the pass was broken up). Wilson only had three targets in that game until late in the fourth quarter. After that game, Wilson was asked about his lack of involvement. His answer: “I’d like to be involved, love to make an impact on the game, but people see it differently.” It was a clear shot at Rodgers. A few days later, Rodgers said he and Wilson hadn’t spoken about the wide receiver’s frustration in weeks — and he didn’t seem particularly interested in delving into their relationship. On Sunday, it took Rodgers exiting the game for Wilson to finally get targets in the red zone. Taylor looked Wilson’s way promptly after getting the offense into the red zone against Bills backups, and Wilson hauled it in for an impressive touchdown catch. It was Wilson’s first target in the red zone since Week 14. The Jets scored on Taylor’s next drive too. Taylor completed 11 of 14 passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns. “We knew how it was going to go when he gets out there,” Wilson said of Taylor. “At the end of the day, we’re all pros. When you say that word, he’s someone that exemplifies that more than anyone. When he gets out there and gets his opportunity, he’s going to take advantage.” If the assumption is that Rodgers won’t be returning to the Jets in 2025, as of now Taylor is the leading candidate to be their starting quarterback in 2025. The 35-year-old is under contract for another season, and he offers a different flavor than Rodgers with his mobility and willingness to take shots down the field, though he has been injury-prone throughout his career. Advertisement But if starting Taylor (or someone else) is what it takes to keep Wilson around, then that is what should happen. The Rodgers experiment failed. The Wilson experiment is still ongoing, and he at least sounds like someone who can see a future in which he’s still a Jet and things are better than they are now. There are a lot of factors to consider — Wilson is eligible for a contract extension for the first time this offseason, and the Jets still need to hire a head coach and GM — but he’s the sort of player to build around. Rodgers, at this point, is not. “It’s frustrating,” Wilson said of the Jets’ season, “but it’s going to make those good times coming down the road that much more enjoyable because we went through things like this.” (Photo: Timothy T.

Secret Behind Large 'Mystery' Fireball Sighting Over US Skies REVEALED

As we enter the weekend (finally, am I right?), there's a battle brewing in all corners of the United States. No, it has nothing to do with politics or war or anything like that. In areas far and wide, people are asking themselves–and likely fighting with their friends and family–whether they should go see Wicked or Gladiator II . Well, this writer has seen both, and I can tell you this: you need to see both. Before we get into the parting shot for the week that was, make sure you're subscribed to the For the Culture newsletter for all things entertainment and to the Parting Shot Podcast with H. Alan Scott for celebrity interviews and reactions to what's going on in pop culture and how it's impacted by politics, news and the world at large. Between President-elect Donald Trump 's cabinet picks and the press tours for Wicked and Gladiator II , I wouldn't blame you for feeling whiplash from all the news. There was a lot of news this week. But both Wicked and Gladiator II are great distractions from some of the more chaotic noise out there. It's the return of the big Hollywood blockbuster, and we get two in the same weekend. (One thing I will say in regards to Wicked , a lot of people are hyping it up to be this incredible movie, and you know what? The hype is a little intense. It's a fun popcorn movie with good music. But best musical of all time? I'm not so sure abut that.) But the big question is: Which one will win the battle of the box office? Time will tell, but based on preview numbers, Wicked is in the lead. Meanwhile, the Parting Shot podcast this week had some crazy good guests. Here's a breakdown of some of the highlights from the podcast this week... John David Washington stopped by to talk about how Netflix 's The Piano Lesson was a bit of a family affair (his father, Oscar-winner Denzel Washington, produced it, and his brother, Malcom, directed it). We also chatted about the importance of August Wilson's work and all the Oscar buzz surrounding the film, his performance and the performances of Samuel L. Jackson and Danielle Deadwyler in the film. "I don't think you have to be a Black American to relate to this story," Washington told me. And while "the whale of truth that we're floating along here is the underbelly of the antebellum South, the Jim Crow era," Washington said the universal messages of The Piano Lesson runs deeper. "If you understand that, we also talk about something else. It's what's so brilliant about August Wilson's work." The Piano Lesson is streaming now on Netflix. Lopez vs. Lopez 's Mayan Lopez stopped by the podcast to talk about her love the art of the sitcom and the long road to mending her relationship with her father, comic George Lopez. "You don't gotta reinvent the wheel of sitcom, but we do the wheel well," Lopez told me. She went on to explain how playing a version of herself on the sitcom not only helped her relationship with her father, but also helped her find herself. "My dad and I, we weren't really speaking very much before the first season started, and I was actually nervous, like myself, but my character wasn't and so playing her gave me the confidence to be more direct with my dad and not be afraid that he was going to leave my life as that's part of our previous history of just not talking." Lopez vs. Lopez airs Fridays on NBC and streams on Peacock . Nobel Peace prize recipient Malala Yousafzai spoke to me about the plight of Afghan women under the Taliban and why she wanted to lend her name to the documentary film Bread & Roses ( Apple TV+). "Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls are banned from access to education and women are limited from work," she told me. Directed by Sahra Mani and co-produced by Jennifer Lawrence, the film follows three Afghan women (filmed in secret) as they live under and resist the Taliban oppression. "While the Taliban are trying to silence women, amplifying their voices through this documentary, is a form of resistance," Yousafzai said. I spoke with Malala Yousafzai and director Sahra Mani about the film and what needs to be done to end what Yousafzai calls a "gender apartheid." Bread & Roses is currently streaming on Apple TV+. This week reality TV gave us the escape we needed. But there was one exit from House of Villains that stole all the attention. Victoria Larson, of The Bachelor fame, was banished from the House of Villains house, and she went out fighting. Not only to confront Teresa Giudice, Tiffany "New York" Pollard, Larsa Pippen, but she also went after...French toast. Yes, you read that right: French toast. Larson chatted with me about her time on House of Villains and what's her beef with French toast. House of Villains airs Thursdays on E! And streams on Peacock. And then there was Survivor . We're getting closer and closer to the finale, and it's getting more dramatic as the weeks go by. But this week found the voted-out player calling another player a "snake" as they left Tribal Council. I spoke with Gabe Ortis about why he thinks calling someone a "snake" is actually a compliment on Survivor and where he thinks his game went wrong. Survivor airs Wednesdays on CBS and streams on Paramount+. That's it for me this week. Make sure you're subscribed to the Parting Shot podcast and the For the Culture newsletter for all the entertainment and pop culture news you need.

jili super ace tricks Target Shares Plunge on Its Holiday Outlook. Should Investors Buy the Dip in the Stock?The shock rocker Marilyn Manson has dropped his long-running defamation lawsuit against the actor Evan Rachel Wood and has agreed to pay her about $327,000 in attorneys’ fees, Deadline reported . Wood had previously identified Manson as her abuser in February 2021, accusing her former fiance of sexual assault, psychological abuse, violence, coercion and intimidation. The Westworld actor accused her former partner on social media in 2021 of “horrific” abuse, along with allegations of grooming her starting from when she was a teenager. Other women came forward with similar allegations following Wood’s public denouncement. Manson denied the accusations, calling them “horrible distortions of reality”, and responded by filing a lawsuit against Wood in March 2022, citing defamation and emotional distress. “Marilyn Manson – whose real name is Brian Warner – filed a lawsuit against Ms Wood as a publicity stunt to try to undermine the credibility of his many accusers and revive his faltering career. But his attempt to silence and intimidate Ms Wood failed,” a representative for Wood said in a statement obtained by Rolling Stone . “As the trial court correctly found, Warner’s claims were meritless. Warner’s decision to finally abandon his lawsuit and pay Ms Wood her full fee award of almost $327,000 only confirms as much.” A judge ruled against portions of Manson’s lawsuit in 2023 and ordered Manson to pay about $500,000 in attorney fees. Manson filed an appeal against the decision, which now appears unsuccessful following the dropping of his case. According to Deadline , court documents indicating the end of the lawsuit and the agreement to pay Wood’s legal fees were signed yesterday by Manson.Swiss National Bank Reduces Stock Holdings in Range Resources Co.

(AP) — Kyle McCord threw for a career-high 470 yards with two touchdowns to lead Syracuse to a 31-24 win over UConn on Saturday. The win gives the Orange (8-3) their first eight-win regular season since 2018, and third since 2000. “We knew they would play all the way through the fourth quarter, and we thought it’d be a fourth-quarter game,” Syracuse coach Fran Brown said. “So, it’s just what we talked about the entire week and we didn’t take it lightly.” McCord completed 37-of-47 passes for his first 400-yard game this season. He opened the game with a 77-yard touchdown drive, spanning two plays in 50 seconds. The touchdown came on a 22-yard pass to Oronde Gadsden. McCord broke Syracuse’s all-time record for single-season passing yards with 4:12 remaining in the first half. He needed 273 yards to pass Nassib, and finished the game against the Huskies with 3,946 passing yards. The former quarterback set his record in 2012, recording 3,749 passing yards during his senior year. McCord also tied Nassib’s record for single-season touchdown passes with 26, with his second touchdown pass on the same play as the yardage record. “I got a standard of what the quarterback needs to look like being here,” Brown said. "Not necessarily statistically and all those things, because that’s hard, but just in reference to how you prepare.” The Orange missed two field goals and had two touchdowns called back that allowed the Huskies offense a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter. After a 2-yard passing touchdown by quarterback Joe Fagnano left UConn trailing back one score, Syracuse recovered the Huskies’ onside kick attempt to end the game. UConn (7-4) will finish its season without a Power Four win after staying within two touchdowns of the Orange for all 60 minutes. The Huskies have ended each of their four Power Four games within one score of their opponent. “They’re disappointed as hell, and they should be,” UConn coach Jim Mora said. “But we have to get over that, and we have to figure out what we can do better and apply those lessons going forward and prepare to get a win next week.” Cam Edwards led UConn on the ground with 87 rushing yards, including a 71-yard touchdown dash in the first quarter. Fagnano finished the game with 228 passing yards and two touchdowns. UConn: Linebacker Jayden McDonald recorded a second-best 12 tackles, including a sack and tackle-for-loss. McDonald was the one of three Huskies to reach McCord for a sack. Syracuse: Eight receivers caught passes, with three recording over 100 yards each. Wide receivers Darrell Gill Jr. (177 yards) and Jackson Meeks (110) and tight end Oronde Gadsden (103 and a touchdown) combined for 390 receiving yards. Syracuse had 540 total yards to UConn’s 352. UConn’s offense was 5-of-15 on third down conversions against the Orange defense. The Huskies didn’t get their first third down conversion until the second quarter, after the Orange had already taken a 14-7 lead. McCord faces off against Miami’s Cameron Ward for Syracuse’s final game of the regular season. They are the two leading passers in FBS and sit atop the ACC in total offense.

AP News Summary at 2:04 p.m. ESTIsrael strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while the WHO chief says he was meters away JERUSALEM (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports. The World Health Organization’s director-general said the bombardment on Thursday took place just “meters away” as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa. He says a crew member was hurt. The strikes followed several days of Houthi attacks and launches setting off sirens in Israel. Israel's military says it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa, power stations and ports. The Israeli military later said it wasn’t aware that the WHO chief was at the location in Yemen. An uneasy calm settles over Syrian city of Homs after outbreak of sectarian violence HOMS, Syria (AP) — Syria’s new security forces checked IDs and searched cars in the central city of Homs a day after protests by members of the Alawite minority erupted in gunfire and stirred fears that the country’s fragile peace could break down. A tense calm prevailed Thursday after checkpoints were set up throughout the country’s third-largest city, which has a mixed population of Sunni and Shia Muslims, Alawites and Christians. The security forces are controlled by the former insurgent group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which led the charge that unseated former President Bashar Assad. The US says it pushed retraction of a famine warning for north Gaza. Aid groups express concern. WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say they asked for — and got — the retraction of an independent monitor's warning of imminent famine in north Gaza. The internationally Famine Early Warning System Network issued the warning this week. The new report had warned that starvation deaths in north Gaza could reach famine levels as soon as next month. It cited what it called Israel's “near-total blockade” of food and water. The U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jacob Lew, criticized the finding as inaccurate and irresponsible. The U.S. Agency for International Development, which funds the famine-monitoring group, told the AP it had asked for and gotten the report's retraction. USAID officials tell The Associated Press that it had asked the group for greater review of discrepancies in some of the data. Trump has pressed for voting changes. GOP majorities in Congress will try to make that happen ATLANTA (AP) — Republicans in Congress plan to move quickly in their effort to overhaul the nation’s voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. They want to push through long-sought changes such as voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. They say the measures are needed to restore public confidence in elections. That's after an erosion of trust that Democrats note has been fueled by false claims from Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Democrats say they are willing to work with the GOP but want any changes to make it easier, not harder, to vote. Americans are exhausted by political news. TV ratings and a new AP-NORC poll show they're tuning out NEW YORK (AP) — A lot of Americans, after an intense presidential election campaign, are looking for a break in political news. That's evident in cable television news ratings and a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll found nearly two-thirds of Americans saying they've found the need recently to cut down on their consumption of political and government news. That's particularly true among Democrats following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, although a significant number of Republicans and independents feel the same way. Cable networks MSNBC and CNN are really seeing a slump. That's also happened in years past for networks that particularly appeal to supporters of one candidate. New York to charge fossil fuel companies for damage from climate change ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Large fossil fuel companies would have to pay fees to help New York fight the effects of climate change under a bill signed by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. The governor signed the new law Thursday. It requires companies responsible for substantial greenhouse gas emissions to pay into a state infrastructure fund for repairs or projects that help avoid future damage from climate change. Lawmakers approved the bill earlier this year. It's meant to make big oil and gas companies contribute to the cost of repairs after extreme weather events or for resiliency projects. Such projects may include restoring coastal wetlands or upgrading roads, bridges and water drainage systems. Legal challenges to the new law are expected. Aviation experts say Russia's air defense fire likely caused Azerbaijan plane crash as nation mourns Aviation experts say that Russian air defense fire was likely responsible for the Azerbaijani plane crash the day before that killed 38 people and left all 29 survivors injured. Azerbaijan is observing a nationwide day of mourning on Thursday for the victims of the crash. Azerbaijan Airlines’ Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday when it was diverted for reasons yet unclear and crashed while making an attempt to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan. Cellphone footage circulating online appeared to show the aircraft making a steep descent before smashing into the ground in a fireball. Ukraine's military intelligence says North Korean troops are suffering heavy battlefield losses KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's military intelligence says North Korean troops are suffering heavy losses in Russia's Kursk region and face logistical difficulties as a result of Ukrainian attacks. The intelligence agency said Thursday that Ukrainian strikes near Novoivanovka inflicted heavy casualties on North Korean units. Ukraine's president said earlier this week that 3,000 North Korean troops have been killed and wounded in the fighting in the Kursk region. It marked the first significant estimate by Ukraine of North Korean casualties several weeks after Kyiv announced that North Korea had sent 10,000 to 12,000 troops to Russia to help it in the almost 3-year war. How the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and “Roaring Kitty” reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. Why this Mexican American woman played a vital role in the US sacramental peyote trade MIRANDO CITY, Texas (AP) — Amada Cardenas, a Mexican American woman who lived in the tiny border town of Mirando City in South Texas, played an important role in the history of the peyote trade. She and her husband were the first federally licensed peyote dealers who harvested and sold the sacramental plant to followers of the Native American Church in the 1930s. After her husband's death in 1967, Cardenas continued to welcome generations of Native American Church members to her home until her death in 2005, just before her 101st birthday.Stock market today: Stocks waver in thin trading after US markets reopen following a holiday pause

After 3 million meals, Mother’s, a gathering place for Ravens fans, will closeRates of infection for respiratory viruses are currently low in the U.S. but are starting to rise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Flu, COVID-19 and RSV spread more in fall and winter, especially during gatherings, travel and time spent indoors. Dr. Robert Jacobson, medical director of Mayo Clinic's Primary Care Immunization Program, says there are tools to help reduce the risk of becoming severely ill from these respiratory infections. "We're all at risk for getting the flu, and we can actually get (it) more than once a year. Every year, about 10% to 20% of us get the flu," Jacobson says. Along with the flu, COVID-19 and RSV are among the most common respiratory illnesses. These viruses share similar symptoms, risks and prevention strategies. Jacobson's No. 1 tip: Get vaccinated. "This is specific protection your body can make to protect you and your loved ones," he says. Experts recommend washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds several times a day. Adobe Stock Along with vaccination, Jacobson stresses the importance of hand-washing. Wash your hands with soap and water to help prevent the spread of germs. "Especially before you eat, when you come home from work, when you come home from bringing your child from day care — both of you should go to the sink — wash your hands with soap and water after using a bathroom, before serving other people food, after being with a group of people, shaking hands with people, wash your hands," he says. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts Wash your hands well and often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Make sure friends and family whom you're around regularly, especially kids, know the importance of hand-washing. Tactics to avoid respiratory infections: 1. Avoid touching your face: Keeping your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth helps keep germs away from those places. 2. Cover your coughs and sneezes: Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow. Then wash your hands. 3. Clean surfaces: Regularly clean often-touched surfaces to prevent the spread of infection from touching a surface with the virus on it and then your face. 4. Avoid crowds: The flu spreads easily wherever people gather — in child care centers, schools, office buildings, auditoriums and on public transportation. By avoiding crowds during peak flu season, you lower your chances of infection. And if you get sick, stay home to avoid spreading infection to others.

Originally appeared on E! Online Brandon Sklenar is showing his support for his castmate. > Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are In a lengthy document filed last week with the California Civil Rights Department and obtained by E! News , Blake Lively accused her " It Ends With Us " costar and director Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and spearheading a smear campaign as a retaliation for raising concerns about his behavior on set of the film. Now, Sklenar — who starred as Atlas Corrigan in the Colleen Hoover film adaptation alongside Lively (who played protagonist Lily Bloom) and Baldoni (Ryle Kincaid) — is breaking his silence on the accusations. In a message posted to his Instagram Story Dec. 23, the 1923 actor shared a link to a New York Times article that includes the entirety of Lively's legal complaint alongside a message, saying, "For the love of god read this." And to finish off his supportive note, Sklenar tagged Lively's social media handle and added a heart emoji next to it. PHOTOS It Ends With Us: Every Difference Between Book and Movie Sklenar isn't the only member of the "It Ends With Us" cast and crew to speak out on Lively's complaint, which accuses Badloni of sexually harassing her on the set of their film and also alleges that, after she raised her concerns about him to their production team, he retaliated against her by working with a crisis PR team to try to destroy her reputation . On the day the complaint was made public, Hoover — who, in addition to writing the "It Ends With Us" book series, served as an executive producer for the movie — shared her own message heartwarming message for Blake . "You have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met," the author wrote on her Instagram Stories Dec. 21, alongside a photo of herself and the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" actress hugging in a theater. "Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt." Additionally, Gwyneth Paltrow , Lively's "A Simple Favor" director Paul Feig and her "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" costars Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera and Alexis Bleidel have all publicly showed support for her . As for Baldoni, he has denied all the accusations against him in a Dec. 21 statement made to The New York Times through his attorney Bryan Freedman, who described the complaint as "categorically false" and "yet another desperate attempt to 'fix' her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film."James, Quigley and Hayes combine for 59 points as No. 20 NC State women beat Coastal Carolina 89-68U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday tapped Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, selecting a billionaire private astronaut and business associate of Elon Musk to oversee an agency closely linked to the SpaceX founder's business. Isaacman, CEO of payment processing company Shift4 Payments, has flown to space twice on SpaceX capsules in fully private missions arranged by his Polaris program, working with Musk and spending hundreds of millions of dollars as a key customer of SpaceX's nascent private astronaut business. If confirmed by the Senate, Isaacman, who has no government or political experience, would oversee the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's roughly $25 billion budget. The agency's top priority has been returning humans to the moon under its Artemis program, an effort promoted by Trump during his first term that will lean heavily on SpaceX's Starship. "Jared will drive NASA's mission of discovery and inspiration, paving the way for groundbreaking achievements in Space science, technology, and exploration," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump's pick for NASA came months earlier than in past presidential transitions as Musk, SpaceX's CEO and founder as well as major donor to Trump's election campaign, has used his close proximity to the president-elect to discuss missions to Mars and other space exploration matters that could boost SpaceX. Trump attended SpaceX's sixth Starship test launch in Texas last month. Isaacman, 41, is expected to deepen the agency's strategy of depending on private companies for accessing space as a commercial service. This has posed an existential threat to NASA's Space Launch System rocket, a massive, over-budget launch vehicle built by Boeing and Northrop Grumman and a crucial element of its Artemis program alongside Starship. "Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy," Isaacman said in a statement, adding he is "passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history." Isaacman would also command the agency's aeronautics portfolio, which has been funding green aviation concepts, and a sprawling space science unit that in some areas has faced layoffs and budget cuts under Democratic President Joe Biden. NASA's last two appointed administrators were former politicians. Trump's first NASA chief, former Oklahoma congressman Jim Bridenstine, launched the Artemis program and persuaded Congress to increase the agency's budget to fund it. Biden appointed former U.S. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida to run NASA. Dozens of space industry veterans and lobbyists had recommended candidates for NASA chief including SpaceX's Kathy Lueders, who has overseen the company's Starship operation in Texas, and California Republican Representative Mike Garcia, who lost reelection last month, according to five people close to the nomination effort. Isaacman in September was one of four crew members to conduct the first-ever private spacewalk in orbit, using new SpaceX-built spacesuits in a novel mission he helped bankroll.‘Smishing’ and other scams could kill your holiday joy, Postal Service warns

Global Times: China’s aircraft carriers make confident strides toward blue waters, play pivotal role in national defenseArizona (7-8) at Los Angeles Rams (9-6) Saturday, 8:15 p.m. EST, NFL Network BetMGM NFL odds : Rams by 6 1/2. Against the spread: Cardinals 9-6; Rams 8-7. Series record: Rams lead 50-41-2. Last meeting: Cardinals beat Rams 41-10 in Glendale, Ariz. on Sept. 15. Last week: Cardinals lost to Carolina 36-30, OT; Rams beat New York Jets 19-9. Cardinals offense: overall (11), rush (5), pass (20), scoring (14). Cardinals defense: overall (20), rush (22), pass (13), scoring (T-13). Rams offense: overall (15), rush (20), pass (13), scoring (17). Rams defense: overall (24), rush (25), pass (19), scoring (21). Turnover differential: Cardinals minus-4; Rams plus-5. WR Marvin Harrison Jr. has had a relatively productive rookie season with 51 catches for 726 yards and seven touchdowns. But it’s also true that he hasn’t always looked like the true franchise changing force the Cardinals expected when they took him with the No. 4 overall pick. Arizona might be out of the playoff race, but Harrison’s development continues to be a major focus for the team down the stretch. RB Kyren Williams is coming off his best game of the season after rushing for 122 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries to help Los Angeles grind out a win at the Meadowlands. He hardly factored into the first meeting against Arizona, a game the Rams trailed 14-0 halfway into the first quarter and 24-3 at halftime, getting 12 carries and running for 25 yards and a touchdown behind a battered offensive line. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray vs. Rams defensive line. Los Angeles had no answers for Murray in September as he threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns without an interception and added 59 yards rushing. But their defensive front is much more cohesive than it was in the second week of the season, with rookies Jared Verse and Braden Fiske proving to be menaces in the backfield. If Murray feels that pressure and can’t keep his eyes downfield, the Rams will be in much better shape to limit Arizona’s passing game. The Cardinals have been beat up over the past two games. Both of the starting tackles — Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) and Jonah Williams (knee) — are out for the season after they were put on injured reserve this week. Others such as RB James Conner (knee), LB Baron Browning (neck), LB Mack Wilson Sr. (concussion) and DL Darius Robinson (calf) have been limited during practice. ... The Rams are in good shape, a far cry from where they were to start the season. RT Rob Havenstein was the only name on their injury report through Wednesday, when he was limited because of a shoulder injury. Arizona has not swept the season series since 2014 when the Rams were playing in St. Louis. ... The Rams and Cardinals have split the past four meetings. Arizona had dropped 11 of the previous 12 in the series. ... Los Angeles is 3-2 against Arizona since moving into SoFi Stadium in 2020, kickstarting its run to the Super Bowl after the 2021 season with a 34-11 win in an NFC wild-card game. The Cardinals have lost four of their past five games and were eliminated from the playoff race after last week’s 36-30 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Cardinals have made the playoffs just once over the past nine seasons. That was in 2021 ... Harrison had four catches for 130 yards and two TDs vs. the Rams in Week 2. All of that production came in the span of seven plays in the first quarter. ... The Cardinals are No. 5 in the NFL with 145.8 yards rushing per game. They also rank No. 2 with 5.28 yards per carry. ... Chad Ryland has made 25 field goals since his debut in Week 5, which ranks fourth in the NFL over that span. ... Safety Budda Baker has a career-high 148 tackles this season, which broke his previous high of 147 set in 2019. ... James Conner has 1,500 yards from scrimmage this season, including 1,090 rushing and 410 receiving. ... Trey McBride has caught 91 passes this season, which is a franchise record at tight end for the Cardinals. ... The Rams can clinch a playoff spot with a win and either a Seahawks loss or tie or a series of results elsewhere to secure the strength of victory tiebreaker. ... Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw for 110 yards against the Jets. Los Angeles has won all four games this season where Stafford has finished with fewer than 200 yards through the air. ... WR Puka Nacua had a record-setting rookie season, but Arizona was the one team that kept him in check. Nacua made four catches in each of the two meetings in 2023, finishing with 26 and 27 yards. ... The Rams didn’t have LT Alaric Jackson (suspension), LG Steve Avila (knee) or Nacua (knee) in the Week 2 game against the Cardinals. ... Los Angeles has run for at least 132 yards in four straight games, with Williams accounting for at least 87 yards in each outing that span. Cooper Kupp likely sank many a fantasy title push with his limited production over the past month, and the Rams WR should remain on benches this week for any owners still in the mix. Kupp has topped 44 yards receiving once in his past five games against Arizona. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Gibson Energy Announces Contract Extension at Gateway, Sanctioning of the Gateway Dredging Project and $200 million in 2025 Growth Capital & Share BuybacksThe Democratic Party has long since degenerated into a cult united primarily by members’ unhinged hatred of President-elect Donald Trump. Recently, however, a few signs have emerged suggesting that some Democrats have grown tired of their party’s anti-Trump obsession. In a Sunday interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl on “This Week,” Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania urged fellow Democrats to “chill out” and even expressed “no regrets” at having met with Trump’s Cabinet picks, including Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth and FBI Director nominee Kash Patel. “I have met with all of them so far,” Fetterman said. “And the ones that we haven’t, they’re on the schedule back in January.” Karl then asked if Fetterman regarded as qualified, to which the senator replied, “We’re gonna learn more.” Fetterman’s full comments, however, suggested that Democrats cannot rely on him to vote against Hegseth. “The president picked these people,” the Pennsylvania senator said. “Not gonna be my first choice, second choice, third choice, but that’s democracy.” “And, to me, it would be distressing if he is confirmed, if the Democrats are gonna turn our back collectively to the leader of Defense. That’s astonishing, and that’s dangerous,” he added. Fetterman expressed similar openness following his meeting with . In that meeting, for instance, the two men talked about immigration-related stories in their respective families. “I have learned things, and I have heard things, and I have no regrets,” the senator said. Indeed, the entire tone of the interview suggested, at minimum, an eagerness to avoid appearances of anti-Trump hostility. “I’ve been warning people, like, ‘You gotta chill out,'” Fetterman said of the Trump Derangement Syndrome that has plagued many in his party since 2016. The senator also pledged to root for Trump, whom he called a “singular political talent.” Readers may watch the entire interview in the YouTube video below. Fetterman’s comments on Hegseth and Patel began around the 6:30 mark. Cynics, of course, might speculate that simply sees the political writing on the wall. “The support’s astonishing,” he said of voters’ enthusiasm for Trump in “red” Pennsylvania counties. According to the , in the 2024 election Trump won the swing state by more than 120,000 votes. Thus, a Pennsylvania senator calculating his own political future might want to get on Trump’s good side. On the other hand, to view things less cynically, senators absolutely should consider their constituents’ views. In that sense, self-interest and proper public service should dovetail. And on the issue of Trump’s Cabinet picks, at least, it appears that they have done so in Fetterman. Moreover, the Pennsylvania senator reflects a segment inside the Democratic Party that has of fighting Trump. Opposing the president-elect where necessary is one thing, but the over-the-top anti-Trump rhetoric has left them exhausted. That fact alone suggests that even Trump’s most anti-establishment nominees might win unexpected support from a small number of dissident Democrats.
