NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — keep proving that for every step forward, they always find ways to take two back. The Titans (3-9) clinched a third straight losing record to mark first-year coach Brian Callahan's debut season in an to Washington. Yet another slow start, more turnovers, sacks, penalties ruined their chance at stringing together consecutive wins for the first time in more than two years. Callahan said Monday they're trying to build consistency. “In the NFL, a lot of it is about not losing the game first, and we do right now with the amount of penalties and turnovers we’ve had,” Callahan said. "We put ourselves in position to lose games and not win them. And so, yes, there is a there is an element of learning how to win.” Tennessee had 11 of 12 penalties before halftime, trailing 28-7. The Titans also were the at halftime in Week 17 of 2005 against the Jaguars. Only Baltimore has been penalized more than Tennessee this season. Two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons said after the loss that the Titans need to learn how to deal with winning better coming off a Simmons said they were "hungover from our own success." Callahan said Monday he didn't see any hangover issues. “You have a performance like that and you're sort of grasping for an explanation on why and there really wasn't one other than we made too many errors early in the game and put ourselves in a hole,” Callahan said. Quarterback Will Levis' development over the four games since his return from a sprained, right throwing shoulder at least gives the Titans promise for the future. The made some nice throws and limited yards lost on two sacks Sunday. He threw two TD passes for 212 yards. Since his return, he is completing 61.7% of his passes for 960 yards with seven touchdown passes and only two interceptions with a 101.3 passer rating in that span. Now the defense is struggling after going into Washington second in the NFL in yards allowed, ninth against the run and first defending the pass. They gave up a season-high 267 yards rushing after giving up just 40 a week ago. The Titans also gave up 28 points within the first 20 minutes, becoming only the . The Titans also did that in Week 8 earlier this season after being routed by the Lions in Detroit. Washington did it against Dallas in Week 16 of 2021. WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Originally undrafted out of Indiana, Westbrook-Ikhine is tied for fourth in the NFL with eight TD catches entering Monday. That's despite starting only five games this season and not having a pass thrown to him the first month of the season. He has earned a multi-year deal with his performance. He had three receptions for 61 yards against Washington and was targeted a season-high eight times. Rookie Jha'Quan Jackson. A sixth-round pick out of Tulane and nephew of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Ed Reed has fumbled five times as the punt returner recovering only two of those. That got him benched against Washington. His fumbles have come in the past six games, including one in each of the past two. His fumble against Washington led to an early touchdown. LT JC Latham hurt a quadriceps muscle but finished the game. Callahan said they will see how CB Roger McCreary (shoulder) and LB Kenneth Murray Jr. (strained hamstring) recover during the week. 36 — The number of games since the Titans have had consecutive victories. The Titans at least are home with their best focus trying to improve their standing inside the AFC South with four divisional games down the stretch. They have two games remaining against Jacksonville (2-10) starting Sunday with But their biggest question now is how high does this franchise draft in April. AP NFL:
Traveling this holiday season? 10 things the TSA wants you to knowIsrael and Lebanon's Hezbollah agree to a ceasefire to end nearly 14 months of fighting JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel has approved a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, setting the stage for an end to nearly 14 months of fighting linked to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. Israeli warplanes meanwhile carried out the most intense wave of strikes in Beirut and its southern suburbs since the start of the conflict and issued a record number of evacuation warnings. At least 24 people were killed in strikes across the country, according to local authorities, as Israel signaled it aims to keep pummeling Hezbollah before the ceasefire is set to take hold at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday. President Joe Biden, speaking in Washington, called the agreement “good news” and said his administration would make a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza. What both sides are saying about the ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah A ceasefire deal that could end more than a year of cross-border fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group won backing from Israeli leaders. The truce that is set to take effect early Wednesday raised hopes and renewed difficult questions in a region gripped by conflict. Hezbollah leaders also signaled tentative backing for the U.S.-brokered deal, which offers both sides an off-ramp from hostilities But the deal does little directly to resolve the much deadlier war that has raged in Gaza since Hamas militants attacked southern Israel last October. Trump vows tariffs over immigration. What the numbers say about border crossings, drugs and crime. WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is threatening tariffs on Mexico and Canada as he seeks to portray them as responsible for illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Over its tenure, the Biden administration has struggled with growing numbers of migrants arriving at the southern border. But this year, the number of people crossing the border without documents has actually been falling. That's due in part to stricter enforcement by Mexican authorities as well as asylum restrictions announced earlier this year by the Biden administration. When it comes to fentanyl smuggling, much of the deadly supply comes from Mexico though statistics show more than 86% of those sentenced for fentanyl trafficking crimes in the 12 months ending September 2023 were U.S. citizens. AP finds that a Pentagon-funded study on extremism in the military relied on old data Early this year, Pete Hegseth told a Fox News audience a new, Pentagon-funded study proved that the number of military service members and veterans involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection did not indicate a wider problem in the armed forces. Hegseth, Donald Trump's pick to head the Department of Defense, wasn’t alone. The Wall Street Journal’s opinion page highlighted the same report as evidence that extremists in military communities were “phantoms” created by a “false media narrative.” The X account for Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee posted that the study showed the focus on extremism in the military was a “witch hunt.” But The Associated Press has found that the study relied on old data, misleading analyses and ignored evidence that pointed to the opposite conclusion. How Trump's bet on voters electing him managed to silence some of his legal woes WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith move to abandon two federal cases accusing Trump of endangering American democracy and national security does away with the most serious legal threats Trump was facing as he returns to the White House. It was the culmination of a monthslong defense effort to delay the proceedings at every step and use the criminal allegations to Trump's political advantage, putting the final word in the hands of voters instead of jurors. The move just weeks after Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris underscores the immense personal stake Trump had in the campaign in which he turned his legal woes into a political rallying cry. Walmart's DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump's election victory NEW YORK (AP) — Walmart’s sweeping rollback of its diversity policies is the strongest indication yet of a profound shift taking hold at U.S. companies that are revaluating the legal and political risks associated with bold programs to bolster historically underrepresented groups in business. The risk associated with some of programs crystalized with the election of former President Donald Trump, whose administration is certain to make dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion programs a priority. Brazil’s Bolsonaro planned and participated in a 2022 coup plot, unsealed police report says SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro was fully aware of and actively participated in a coup plot to remain in office after his defeat in the 2022 election, according to a Federal Police report that has been unsealed. Brazil’s Federal Police last Thursday formally accused Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup. They sent their 884-page report to the Supreme Court, which lifted the seal. Bolsonaro called a meeting in December 2022, during which he presented a draft decree to the commanders of the three divisions of the armed forces, that would have declared the vote fraudulent, to justify a possible military intervention. Bolsonaro has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Biden proposes Medicare and Medicaid cover costly weight-loss drugs for millions of obese Americans WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of obese Americans would be eligible to have popular weight-loss drugs like Wegovy or Zepbound covered by Medicare or Medicaid under a new rule the Biden administration proposed Tuesday morning. The proposal, which would not be finalized until after President-elect Donald Trump takes office, could cost taxpayers as much as $35 billion over the next decade. It would give millions of people access to weekly injectables that have helped people shed pounds so quickly that some people have labeled them miracle drugs. New rule allows HIV-positive organ transplants People with HIV who need a kidney or liver transplant will be able to receive an organ from a donor with HIV. That's according to a new rule announced Tuesday by U.S. health officials. Previously, such transplants could be done only as part of research studies. The new rule takes effect Wednesday. It's expected to shorten the wait for organs for all, regardless of HIV status, by increasing the pool of available organs. The practice is supported by a decade of research, during which 500 transplants of kidneys and livers from HIV-positive donors have been done in the U.S. Surveillance tech advances by Biden could aid in Trump's promised crackdown on immigration President-elect Donald Trump will return to power next year with a raft of technological tools at his disposal that would help deliver his campaign promise of cracking down on immigration — among them, surveillance and artificial intelligence technology that the Biden administration already uses to help make crucial decisions in tracking, detaining and ultimately deporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status. One algorithm, for example, ranks immigrants with a “Hurricane Score,” ranging from 1-5, to assess whether someone will “abscond” from the agency’s supervision.

Home | DA slams attempts to boot Gwarube out of office The Democratic Alliance (DA) says it rejects any attempt in what it has termed as a “faction of the ANC” which is allegedly encouraging President Cyril Ramaphosa to dismiss its member and Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube as well as other DA-affiliated Ministers “for conducting their jobs. “Doing so would signal an end to the Government of National Unity (GNU),” party leader John Steenhuisen said in a statement released on Sunday. Steenhuisen’s comments come amid vast criticism levelled against the DA on its position regarding the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act , including Gwarube’s absence when Ramaphosa officially signed the Act into law back in September. Last month, the DA said Clause 4 and 5 of the Act “gives too much authority to provincial governments and takes away too much of our democratic rights as parents.” Steenhuisen further addressed the “misinformation” around the consultation process since the law was enacted . “During this time, the minister has met with members from Solidarity, and the Presidency, at NEDLAC after a dispute was lodged by the Union. This process is entirely separate from the consultation process, and conflating the two is misleading, and factually incorrect. This was a mandatory process, in terms of the law, to prevent strike action arising out of the dispute. The outcome of this engagement was a settlement, signed by the Minister of Basic Education, the Presidency, and the Union,” he says. He adds: “The fact that the Presidency has now distanced itself from this legislated process, which they were party to, is as disgraceful, as it is confusing.” He says the party supports the process followed by Gwarube “as she was fulfilling her responsibilities.” SABC © 2024Portugal winger Nani announces retirement
The Gunners delivered the statement Champions League victory their manager had demanded to bounce back from a narrow defeat at Inter Milan last time out. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track, lifting them to seventh place with 10 points in the new-look 36-team table. It was Arsenal’s biggest away win in the Champions League since beating Inter by the same scoreline in 2003. “For sure, especially against opposition we played at their home who have not lost a game in 18 months – they have been in top form here – so to play with the level, the determination, the purpose and the fluidity we showed today, I am very pleased,” said Arteta. “The team played with so much courage, because they are so good. When I’m watching them live they are so good! They were all exceptional today. It was a big performance, a big win and we are really happy. “The performance was there a few times when we have played big teams. That’s the level that we have to be able to cope and you have to make it happen, and that creates belief.” A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners took the lead after only seven minutes when Martinelli tucked in Jurrien Timber’s cross, and Saka teed up Havertz for a tap-in to double the advantage. Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Declan Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Viktor Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after David Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved. A miserable night for prolific Sporting striker Gyokeres was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.

Our Experts We intensively test each VPN, making sure it meets our standards for privacy, speed and usability. Best VPN Service Overall Privacy protection and transparency SCORE ExpressVPN is CNET’s Editor’s Choice for top VPN overall but has also become the best VPN for Mexico since it has exceptional privacy protection, fast speeds and excellent streaming service unblocking. It has one server location in Mexico, but doesn’t disclose how many servers are in the country, and 24 locations in the US, with some being nearby in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Generally speaking, the closer you are to a physical server, the less of a speed reduction you’ll face. Privacy was our main concern when testing these VPNs, and ExpressVPN was very impressive during our tests. Specifically, ExpressVPN has a strict no-logs policy to save any of your data now when signing up or using the VPN, which was verified nearly a dozen times by third-party auditors. ExpressVPN is in the British Virgin Islands, outside of the 14 Eyes Alliance. Additionally, ExpressVPN uses RAM-only servers, which cannot save any data that goes through them. The security suite includes 256-bit or ChaCha20 encryption, depending on the VPN protocol , obfuscation and a kill switch . We also tried ExpressVPN’s split tunneling feature, which you can use in Mexico to route some traffic through a VPN while excluding others. For instance, you could access nearby news and search results outside of an encrypted VPN tunnel and while using a VPN connection to access US-restricted sites. On top of all the security options, ExpressVPN also delivers speed and streaming capabilities. During our tests, ExpressVPN only dropped by 25% overall, and just 7% on its homemade Lightway protocol. We recommend using the Lightway protocol, as 7% is insignificant and will allow you to stream in 4K Ultra HD without compromising security. Although we could only test while in the US, we had no problem unblocking Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and more. You can use ExpressVPN on up to eight devices, but you will pay a pretty penny to get such privacy: $13 per month, $100 for the first year (then $117 upon renewal) or $140 total for the first two tears (then $150 annually upon renewal). By comparison, the annual plan is pricier than competitors like NordVPN and Surfshark. Granted, you do get some extra goodies aside from just a VPN, including a password manager, eSIM for travel and identity theft insurance. But if you don't need those amenities and just want a VPN or wish to use another password manager, you may be able to get a better value elsewhere. ExpressVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee that allows you to get a full refund if you aren’t satisfied. Best VPN for Speed Perfect for power users SCORE NordVPN has impressed us, especially in terms of speed and security. Not only is NordVPN the fastest product on the market, it also has 30 servers available in one city in Mexico and nearly 2,000 servers in 16 US locations. It’s great for Mexican and US content needs, plus it boasts a security suite that will protect your data in a different country. NordVPN and ExpressVPN are similar in terms of security options. Although ExpressVPN has more features, NordVPN has its custom-made protocol called NordLynx, which is as fast as WireGuard and packs more security. It also runs on RAM-only servers and has a double VPN feature that adds an extra layer of protection. Regarding privacy, on the surface, NordVPN has a solid no-logs policy that has gone through a couple of third-party audits over the years. It also resides in Panama (outside the 14 Eyes Alliance) and has Onion over VPN servers which use Tor for extra encryption. Testing speeds showed a very minimal reduction on NordVPN’s servers. On average, it dropped by only 11% and went down to 8% on NordLynx. Plus, its server coverage in Mexico and the US -- with nearby servers in Texas, New Mexico and California -- will also keep speeds low. We had no issues unblocking US-restricted sites, although we could test only from the US and on six simultaneous device connections. NordVPN has similar price plans to ExpressVPN, with the same monthly price of $13 a month. But Nord undercuts ExpressVPN at $60 for the first year or $83 for the first two years (the one- and two-year plans renew at $140 annually). Simplest VPN for Mexico SCORE IPVanish is the perfect option if you’re not a big tech user and you’re looking for a simple VPN while traveling to Mexico. (IPVanish is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis). It has decent coverage in Mexico, with nine servers in Guadalajara and 1,106 in the US, with some nearby in Texas and California. One of the main issues we had with speed was the Quick Connect feature on IPVanish’s app. Using it sometimes did the opposite and would connect to a server that was not the fastest and sometimes farther away. It was easier just to select the closest server ourselves. Additionally, we measured a leisurely 44% average internet download speed loss, making it unsuitable for streaming videos in 4K or serious online gaming when you're using a Despite the speed dips, it still was good enough to keep a consistent stream going without lag. IPVanish has unlimited simultaneous device connections, so you can use it on every device you bring. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, Android, iOS and more, although it’s worth looking into the best VPNs for mobile devices if you need one for your phone. Like our other VPN recommendations, IPVanish has RAM-only servers to keep your data safe and a zero-logs policy that has been independently audited. This is good since IPVanish is based in the US, under the Five Eyes Alliance. Prices at IPVanish start at $13 per month, $40 for the first year or $53 total for the first two years (although the one- and two-year plans jump to $90 annually upon renewal). Reasons to use a VPN in Mexico When visiting another country like Mexico, you may want to have a virtual private network in your app arsenal. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, hiding your online activity and location. This prevents snooping by third parties like internet service providers and unblocks geo-restricted content so you can access your usual streaming sites and services. No matter where you travel, a VPN is an essential tool when you’re on the go. Although most sites use secure connections that protect your browsing data on Wi-Fi hotspots, a VPN can boost your privacy when connected to Wi-Fi at an airport, hotel or cafe. Additionally, being able to access geo-restricted sites (like Hulu or Disney Plus) means you won’t miss any of your favorite shows from home while you’re traveling abroad. Our testers for CNET have tried out and tested nearly a dozen VPNs to determine the top ones . The best VPNs for Mexico are fast, private and easy to use. What is the best VPN for Mexico right now? ExpressVPN is the top VPN for Mexico due to its ability to unblock almost any site while offering privacy protection and lightning-fast speeds. It offers an impressive no-logs policy that has been independently audited. These are the key factors you should look for in a VPN for Mexico, but ExpressVPN also offers industry-standard encryption, a kill switch and RAM-only servers that never save data. Granted, it’s the most expensive option on this list, but the overall ease of use makes Express worth it. Other VPNs we tested CyberGhost caught our eye since it has one of the largest server networks in Mexico -- 50 servers in Mexico City -- and a vast selection in the US. It also has specialized streaming servers that bring out the best quality for dozens of US streaming services. It has an easy-to-use interface that makes it an excellent choice for simple usage at $13 per month, $42 every six months or $57 total for the first two years (then $57 annually). Despite these great features, we don’t recommend using CyberGhost as it produces uneven internet speed results and in our testing, its apps were buggy. Read our CyberGhost review . PIA is a surprisingly great VPN with real potential when we saw it had over 50 US servers. Despite the extensive US network, PIA only has one Mexico server and doesn’t disclose its location. This means connecting to a local IP could cause significant speed reductions or even disconnections due to overcrowding. It’s an acceptable option if you just need to connect to a home IP in the US to access different sites, but its uneven internet download speed loss makes PIA one of the more sluggish VPNs we tested. Read our PIA review . How we test VPNs We hand-tested VPNs in the US and researched servers to find the best one for Mexico. During our testing, the most important features we looked for were robust privacy features, security options, server network and location availability, bypassing geo-restrictions and more. For example, we tested security by checking for IP or DNS leaks. We found ExpressVPN to be one of our most secure VPNs thanks to its TrustedServer technology, automatic kill switch, verified no-logs policy audited by another party and split tunneling. Other VPNs stood out since we searched for more than just security potential. NordVPN is a super fast VPN with the most Mexican server locations, so you can get local news without risking your data. Factors to consider in a VPN for Mexico After testing multiple VPNs, we found the best features to narrow down when looking for the best VPN out of hundreds of options. No matter your reason for getting a VPN, privacy should always be your first consideration when deciding which one to download. VPNs with a no-logs policy (and third-party audited), reliable kill switch, DNS protection and friendly country of origin will protect you the best. For this article, we narrowed down VPNs with various Mexico and US servers. However, VPNs with a large server network (with many servers and multiple locations) will provide more connection options no matter where you are. If you plan on traveling, looking for a VPN with features to access geo-restricted content should be high on your list. Most websites have software that detects if you’re using a VPN and will block you from seeing its content, especially if you’re streaming from another location. VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, and more can easily bypass geo-restrictions, whether you’re looking to watch Netflix’s US library while in Mexico or trying to stream from a site unavailable in the country. Your VPN’s speeds must be fast enough to keep a reliable connection to the server (slow speeds will cause frequent disconnection) and fast enough to stream content. A top VPN -- Like NordVPN -- will give you a minimal speed reduction to stream from Netflix and other sites in UHD. You’ll want to research each VPN and see if the features each one offers provide a good enough value for the price. On top of that, we tested VPNs, which have money-back guarantees, so you can get a refund within a certain amount of time if you aren’t 100% satisfied. If you’re on a budget, there are cheap VPN alternatives . Best VPNs for Mexico FAQs To get a Mexico IP address, you’ll need to download a VPN that offers server locations in Mexico. Every VPN on this list has servers in Mexico and will give you an IP once you connect to one of these servers, whether you’re in Mexico or the US. VPNs are 100% legal to use in Mexico. Although Mexico has strong protections against censorship, there’s nothing wrong with using a VPN to protect your privacy and data from being observed by third parties while visiting. But remember, using a VPN to commit illegal activities is still illegal. You can use a free VPN while visiting Mexico, but I don’t recommend it. Even if you’re just looking for a simple product only to hide your IP, free VPNs typically use your data to sell to make up for the costs or bombard you with advertisements. Free VPNs aren’t as reliable as premium VPNs. They will either limit your bandwidth, have limited servers (so many may not even have locations in Mexico) or just be disguised as a VPN to get you to download malicious content. If you must use a free VPN, we recommend Proton VPN . Its unlimited free tier lets you stream your favorite Netflix content from its US library while in Mexico. However, the free VPN lacks a Mexico server and will lower speeds because it must connect to a server farther away.TSS Inc. COO Karl Marrott sells $606,309 in stockStar U.S. skier Mikaela Shiffrin said Monday she is “a few weeks minimum” from being able to handle the force of the slopes again after she fell Saturday while vying for a historic win at a World Cup event in Killington, Vt., and suffered a puncture wound in her abdomen. In a post on X, Shiffrin said she was thankful to have avoided a worse injury and joked that she had been impaled “just like Olaf,” the talking snowman from Disney’s “Frozen” movies, describing the injury in more detail. “I literally have a puncture wound and some pretty significant muscular trauma around my whole right oblique area,” she said. “But we’re starting the process to be on the mend, and I hope to get back to being able to ski soon-ish.” Oh look... I’ve been impaled.😅 Gonna be a minute...like a few weeks minimum...to be able to take on much of any force. Thank you all for every ounce of love and support, in the grand scheme, it’s a small pot hole (pun intended), and I’m very thankful for that! #MovingRightAlong pic.twitter.com/KK0VUJccNf — Mikaela Shiffrin ⛷️ (@MikaelaShiffrin) December 2, 2024 Shiffrin, 29, was on the second run of the giant slalom competition when she lost control, tumbled to the snow, flipped and slid into the safety netting. The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team said Sunday that no ligament damage was found and that her bones and internal organs “look OK.” After the incident, Shiffrin posted a video to social media showing the wound near her left hip. “Not really too much cause for concern at this point,” she said in the video. “I just can’t move. I have a pretty good abrasion. Something stabbed me ... and so I just can’t move. I’m so sorry to scare everybody.” Quick update. Thank you for your cheers and support. Wishing the best of luck to my teammates tomorrow!! I’ll be cheering from the sidelines on this one.🙏❤️ pic.twitter.com/5siYwSFxMT — Mikaela Shiffrin ⛷️ (@MikaelaShiffrin) November 30, 2024 On Sunday, Shiffrin told NBC Sports the cause of the puncture wound is unknown. “Probably hitting the gate at some point, hitting the base of the gate,” she said. “... (The wound) is fairly thin, we’re not totally sure how deep it is ... but basically (it’s) a hole sort of through my oblique.” Earlier Saturday, Shiffrin had the fastest time in the first run of the giant slalom and was closing in on a victory when her ski caught and sent her tumbling. It would’ve been her 100th World Cup title. Sweden’s Sara Hector won the event. The injury forced Shiffrin to miss Sunday’s slalom event — her best discipline, in which she’s won 62 of her 99 World Cup titles. Shiffrin, a three-time Olympic medalist, is already the all-time World Cup wins leader in alpine skiing. In March 2023, she passed Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark to move into first place with her 87th win, two months after surpassing fellow American star Lindsey Vonn’s mark of 82. Shiffrin entered this season with 97 wins and picked up Nos. 98 and 99 in successive weeks in Europe last month, winning the slalom events in Levi, Finland, and Gurgl, Austria. Advertisement That set her up for a potential landmark 100th win on what is considered a home course for her. Shiffrin trained at Burke Mountain Academy, not far from Killington. She has won the slalom event there six times. The next event on the women’s World Cup calendar — next weekend at Tremblant in Québec, Canada — was postponed due to poor snow conditions. The following weekend, Beaver Creek in Colorado — near Shiffrin’s hometown of Vail — hosts before the tour heads back to Europe. Shiffrin told NBC on Sunday it was likely she would miss the Beaver Creek race. Shiffrin won Olympic gold in the slalom in 2014 in Sochi, Russia, and in the giant slalom in 2018 in Pyeongchang, South Korea, where she also won a silver in the combined event. At the Beijing Games in 2022, she competed in six events but skied out in both slalom disciplines and did not medal in any of them. Women’s alpine skiing at the 2026 Olympics is scheduled to begin Feb. 8, 2026, in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. Though there’s plenty of recovery time before the Olympics , Shiffrin’s quest for a 100th World Cup title will be on hold. This season has 15 more scheduled stops including the March finale in Sun Valley, Idaho. Related reading (Photo: Sarah Stier / Getty Images)Pulmonx director French sells $132,600 in stock
Nebraska DB Dwight Bootle II announces intention to enter transfer portalVan Nistelrooy returned to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag’s assistant in the summer and had a four-game interim spell in charge following his compatriot’s sacking in October. He left the club in the wake of Ruben Amorim’s appointment but was only out of work for two weeks after being appointed Leicester’s new manager on a deal until 2027. The 48-year-old had a glittering playing career with United and was disappointed his return had to end so soon. “The moment I took over the interim job what I said was I’m here to help United and to stay to help United, and I meant it,” he said. “So I was disappointed, yeah, very much so, and it hurt I had to leave. “The only job I would take as an assistant was at United because of the bond that I have with the people in the club and the fans. “But in the end I got my head around it because I also understand the new manager. I’m in football long enough, and I’ve managed myself, that you can think of a situation, me being there, I understand. “I spoke to Ruben about it, fair enough to him, the conversation was grateful, man to man, person to person, manager to manager, and that helped a lot to move on and straightaway get into talks with new possibilities which of course lifted my spirits.” The Dutchman takes on a difficult job at the King Power Stadium as he is tasked with keeping Leicester in the Premier League. He inherits an influential dressing room, which has seen a number of managers come and go over the last few years. Van Nistelrooy revealed he has done his due diligence and also let the players know as well. “It’s the only way you can work. It’s mutual respect. I also mentioned to the players yesterday that I looked at the squad and started to make phone calls about players, because in football everyone knows everyone,” he said. “With two or three phone calls you hear stories about 20 players and for me it was important that you hear there are good characters there. That’s important, that there are good people there. “I look at the players how they play. I obviously don’t know them but I got general information and the individuals that they are a good bunch of people. That was important for me to get in.”

If you're a Taylor Swift fan who has enjoyed watching livestream feeds from the superstar's Toronto Eras Tour show, you may have noticed that for the most part, the quality was better than on her previous tour dates. It's no coincidence: Rogers, the presenting sponsor of The Eras Tour in Canada, invested $8 million in inside Toronto's Rogers Centre ballpark. So can Vancouver fans expect the same? Yes, says a representative for the Canadian telecom giant. Rogers is working to enhance the 5G network and improve the fan experience at BC Place, and already its network team have been at work to make those upgrades. "We have done a full network redesign and installation of a new in-stadium network system to meet the anticipated demand for fans across three nights in Vancouver," says Rogers. Just how much data do Swifties use while at the Eras Tour? Rogers offered some staggering data in an October press release about the . "At the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, AT&T’s network handled a staggering 28.9 TB of data during the busiest day of Swift’s three-day tour stop there. To put that into perspective, if fans shared 200,000 photos or 400 hours of video, that would only chew up 1 TB of data." “Taylor fans use record amounts of data to livestream as well as share videos and photos from her shows, and this investment will ensure they have the best experience," noted Mark Kennedy, Chief Technology Officer, in that same press release.

"Rogers is thrilled to be the presenting sponsor of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in Canada.

The company has been giving away 35 pairs of tickets every week since early August, with the closing on November 26.
