32 red casino live chat With his stellar America's Cup career behind him, Jimmy Spithill has introduced his new Italy SailGP Team in Dubai just ahead of the opening regatta of the global league's fifth season. And Spithill, the team's CEO and founder, has pulled a major coup by hiring his old America's Cup crewmate and fellow Australian, wing trimmer Kyle Langford, from the Australian team that dominated SailGP for the first three seasons. Italy, SailGP's 12th team, sailed its foiling 50-foot catamaran for the first time on Thursday. After practice racing on Friday, the opening regatta will be on Saturday and Sunday. "It's been definitely a big push," Spithill said in a video interview with The Associated Press. "It's all come up really quick. We're almost there." Spithill left the US SailGP team in November after two and a half seasons to focus on starting the Italian team and on sailing in this year's America's Cup. He was co-helmsman of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team, who were eliminated by INEOS Britannia in the challenger finals. Double Olympic gold medallist Ruggero Tita will helm the Italian team, while two-time bronze medallist and recent Women's America's Cup winner Giulia Fava will be the strategist. Italian national champion Andrea Tesei will assume the flight controller role. Alex Sinclair also followed Spithill, joining grinders Matteo Celon and Enrico Voltolini, who have extensive high-performance and America's Cup experience. Spithill said his crew has "some absolute next-generation stars, from different backgrounds, Olympics, America's Cup, and it's just awesome having Kyle come in." Spithill, 45, said he'll be on the boat only if someone gets hurt or sick. "These young guys are too good at it," he said. "The talent that's coming through in Italy, I mean, the results do the talking." More stars having been switching teams in SailGP, which was co-founded by tech billionaire Larry Ellison. Signing Langford is a big deal for the new team. Shortly before the 2013 America's Cup on San Francisco Bay, Langford was promoted to Oracle's race crew after wing trimmer Dirk de Ridder was suspended by an international jury. With Emirates Team New Zealand at match point at 8-1, Spithill skippered Oracle to eight straight wins in one of the greatest comebacks in sports to retain the Cup. "One thing that really attracted him was a chance to start out and really play a major role with the new team and especially the emerging talent," Spithill said. "It would have been really easy for him to say, 'You know what? I'm comfortable with the Aussies.' But the fact that he's stepped out of his comfort zone and he's challenging himself as an athlete in this stage of his career is just massive." While talented, the Italian crew will have the least experience together in the high-performance F50 catamaran. Spithill said Langford "is going to play a huge role in getting this team up to speed. I mean, the F50 is, without a doubt, probably the hardest boat to sail out there." He said immediately after Luna Rossa's loss in early October it was time to step away from the America's Cup. "The point is, we didn't get the job done so I hold myself accountable for that. And I also am seeing firsthand that this next generation of talent coming through and I believe they deserve a shot, you know?" Dubai is the first of 14 regattas. At season's end, the top three crews will race in the $2 million, winner-take-all Grand Final.

The Tree Legacy Society is reaching out with cash to preserve the privately owned trees and stop them from being cut or commercial harvested. Successful candidates are eligible to receive $1 per tree per year, for up to $25,000, when they ink an agreement of 15 years or more. Designed to combat climate change and to preserve forests for future generations, the society was founded last November by Marta Alcalde Gea, who emigrated from Spain to B.C. five years ago. “From the heat dome that claimed over 600 lives in Metro Vancouver a few years ago to the unprecedented tragedy that is striking Valencia — my hometown — where floods destroyed homes and claimed over 200 lives, it is frightening to witness the devastating effects of climate change around the world,” she said in a news release. “But beyond the grief, I feel an unwavering responsibility to act. Establishing a non-profit organization here in Coquitlam is my way of launching an innovative model of conservation that can ripple from our community to the entire world.” The society’s financial incentives to large landowners are part of a pilot project started by Gea who has more than a dozen years in environmental initiatives, law, technology and economics and has served in key roles in the European Parliament and with international foundations, according to the society’s website.

The American ski star held on to her first-run lead in the season’s second slalom to beat Italian prodigy Lara Colturi and Swiss skier Camille Rast. They both got their first career podium result. Shiffrin next enters a 16-day North American sweep of the World Cup starting next weekend. She said “I guess there is a bit of pressure around it.” No other skier has won more than 86 World Cup races.

The Bobcats improved to 13-0 for their first 13-win season in program history. MSU got going early with a 14-yard carry and a 5-yard catch by wide receiver Ty McCullouch. Quarterback Tommy Mellott scrambled for another 25 yards, and Mellott later found tight end Hunter Provience wide open for the 24-yard touchdown. Provience’s first career score made it 7-0 MSU. Both teams traded punts. The Bobcats continued to pressure UTM QB Kinkead Dent, with linebacker McCade O’Reilly and defensive back Tayden Gray nearly picking off passes. Meanwhile, MSU’s offense stalled out on its next two possessions. After a third-down stop by safety Rylan Ortt and cornerback Simeon Woodard to force another UTM punt, MSU finally got back on track. Running back Scottre Humphrey broke off a 30-yard run and a face mask penalty on UTM was added to the end of the run. Mellott then threw a dime to WR Taco Dowler over multiple defenders in the back of the end zone. MSU led 14-0. The Bobcats added to the lead on their next drive. TE Ryan Lonergan got MSU to midfield on a 32-yard catch and run. McCullouch tried another designed pass — this time more of a wobbler than a tight spiral — intended for Dowler, which came up short. But UTM was called for pass interference. McCullouch later scored on a 6-yard jet sweep. The Skyhawks converted a fourth-and-3 and a third-and-1 to get inside the MSU 25-yard line for the first time. Ortt tackled UTM RB Patrick Smith short on a third-and-6 — the safety’s third stop on third down in the first half. UTM got on the board with a 37-yard field goal. UTM’s Keyshawn Johnson sacked Mellott on a third-and-8 — the 10th sack MSU has allowed all season — to force a punt. After a sack by MSU defensive end Kenneth Eiden IV and a 3-yard run by Dent, UTM faced a third-and-12 on its own 22. MSU called a timeout with 2 minutes, 13 seconds left in the first half. On the next play, though, Dent fired a deep pass to Trevonte Rucker, who was wide open around midfield. Rucker out-ran multiple defenders en route to the end zone. That was the longest play from scrimmage MSU’s defense has allowed since Sept. 24, 2022, against Eastern Washington (80-yard TD catch). That score made it 21-10 MSU. An immediate answer from the Bobcats followed. Mellott hit Dowler on a 21-yard pass. A few plays later, Mellott connected with McCullouch on a 39-yard TD pass. UTM’s JaMichael McGoy fell down in coverage, leading McCullouch wide open and giving MSU a 28-10 lead. That play was the eighth TD McCullouch has accounted for this season (five receiving, two rushing, one passing). At halftime, MSU led 28-10 and out-gained UTM 290-178 in total yards. Mellott was 14 of 17 for 178 yards and three TDs. McCullouch had 71 all-purpose yards (51 receiving, 20 rushing) and two TDs. UTM was forced to punt on the opening drive of the second half, which was returned by Dowler 40 yards to the UTM 37. Two plays later, Humphrey scored on a 36-yard TD run to put MSU up 35-10. That gave Humphrey his 14th rushing TD of the year. Mellott later connected with Lonergan again, this time on a 48-yard catch and run. Three plays later, Dowler took a screen pass 29 yards for his second receiving TD of the game. That also gave Mellott four passing TDs for the second time in his career, previously doing so against Northern Colorado on Oct. 5. On the next MSU drive, Mellott set a new career high for passing yards in a game on an 8-yard throw to WR Aidan Garrigan. Mellott finished with 300 passing yards, and also later set a new career-high in single-game completions with 22. RB Adam Jones added a 30-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to put MSU up 49-10. Dent later found Rucker for a 4-yard TD catch. MSU will next host the winner of No. 8 seed Idaho and Lehigh in the FCS quarterfinals on either Dec. 13 or 14.Heartlung Technologies To Present Four Cutting-Edge Research Studies On AI-CACTM, Autobmdtm, And AI-CVDTM At RSNA 2024
