Cowboys set to host Bengals under open roof after falling debris thwarted that plan against TexansSEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks rode their dominant defense to a big win over a division rival to vault into first place in the NFC West. No, it isn’t 2013. These are the 2024 Seahawks, who, after struggling mightily against the run earlier this season, held the visiting Arizona Cardinals to 49 rushing yards in Sunday's 16-6 victory . The defensive line kept Kyler Murray under consistent pressure thanks to a dominant performance from Leonard Williams, the secondary flew around to smack away passes, and safety Coby Bryant scored on a 69-yard pick-6. Sunday's defensive performance was reminiscent of the Seahawks of a decade ago and a promising sign that first-year coach Mike Macdonald’s system is starting to click. Macdonald, who coordinated Baltimore's NFL-best defense last year, was leading one of the worst rush defenses in the league earlier this season. But Seattle consistently stuffed the Cardinals, who came in as the fifth-best running team in the league at 149.4 yards per game. “Three games in a row now we played pretty decent on defense,” Macdonald said. “There is an expectation and standard here throughout the course of our Seahawks history that we’re trying to live up to and build on. So that’s the idea.” At 6-5, the Seahawks drew even with the Cardinals in the tightly bunched division. The teams play each other again in two weeks at Arizona. Last month's trade for linebacker Ernest Jones IV has clearly paid off. Seattle hasn't allowed a running back to rush for more than 79 yards since its Week 8 loss to Buffalo, which was Jones' first game in a Seahawks uniform. He has led the team in tackles in every game he's played and has helped resurrect the run defense. The Seahawks' run game continues to underperform. Seattle got 65 yards on the ground Sunday, with the Cardinals holding Kenneth Walker III to 41 yards on 16 attempts. Zach Charbonnet had 22 yards on six carries. Walker hasn’t topped 100 yards since Week 1. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb needs to think of something different to get the running backs involved. Williams single-handedly disrupted the Cardinals with 2 1/2 sacks, four quarterback hits, three tackles for loss and one pass defensed. “I thought he was dominant,” Macdonald said. “I knew he played great and then I looked at the stat line and he played out of his mind.” The Seahawks finished with five sacks, seven quarterback hits, five tackles for loss and six pass deflections against the Cardinals, shutting down a team that had averaged 29.3 points over its previous three games. Geno Smith finished with 254 yards passing and a touchdown, but he threw another momentum-stalling interception. Smith was picked off on a third-and-6 play on the Arizona 18-yard line at the start of the fourth quarter, ending an 11-play, 73-yard drive. Smith has an NFL-most 12 interceptions this season, more than in either of his previous two seasons as the Seahawks' full-time starter. “That was a huge drive for us. ... Obviously made a terrible mistake down there, something I got to clean up,” Smith said. “But it was a big drive. We wanted to put the game ahead at least two scores.” The offensive line has contributed to the problem. Guard Anthony Bradford left with an ankle injury, and the line struggled to protect Smith, who was sacked five times. Macdonald said Bradford is expected to miss next week's game. 77 — Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the team with six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown, marking the fourth consecutive game that Smith-Njigba has led the team in receptions. He topped 100 yards receiving in the previous two games. “He’s getting open,” Smith said. “He’s catching the ball. He’s doing a great job in the screen game. All-around great player. I just think the way that teams are playing us coverage-wise, I feel like it’s the ultimate sign of respect.” The Seahawks play at the struggling New York Jets on Sunday.

A FLYING ferry is zooming to an Idaho resort at top speeds, and visitors will get to enjoy shorter commutes in style. Swedish boat company Candela teamed up with transportation group FlyTahoe to introduce the fastest EV boat. The Candela P-12 hydro foiling ferry is coming to Lake Tahoe to help 15 million annual visitors fly from ski slope to ski slope . Travelers will get to dodge road traffic by hopping on the fastest electric boat in the world for a quick 30-minute commute. What's more, the boat is cheap to run because it doesn't need diesel, so operator FlyTahoe won't need a ton of cash to keep the program going. The vessel has 30 seats and can fit bikes and ski equipment. read more in motors Industry leaders have called it a "game changer" since it was launched as public transportation in Stockholm, Sweden. Founder and CEO of FlyTahoe Ryan Meinzer praised the new technology and celebrated the positive change to fuel emissions. "It's ironic that while millions, myself included, drive around Lake Tahoe to admire its beauty, the road sediment we generate contributes to the largest threat to the lake's famous cobalt blue clarity," he said. "Our service will provide faster transport than cars or buses while keeping the lake blue." Most read in Motors Travelers with seasickness don't have to worry about the ride, as the ferry's underwater wings keep it soaring above the water. By flying over the surface, the boat doesn't have to expend as much energy, allowing it to run longer and faster without gas. "It basically works like a jet fighter, which is constantly balanced using ailerons," said Gustav Hasselskog, CEO and founder of Candela. "The principle of the P-12 is the same, except our wings fly in water instead of air." FlyTahoe plans to operate the new ferry year-round, as Lake Tahoe never freezes. If the boat is a great success for skiers, it could mean more innovative electric boats are installed worldwide, Meinzer said. SWEDISH electric vehicle Candela has developed an EV boat that can hit top speeds without even touching the water. The Candela P-12 hydro foiling ferry is a shuttle that can carry up to 31 people. It hovers feet over the water by using water wings that propel it forward. This cuts out drag and allows the boat to zoom at around 29 miles per hour. According to Candela, "Today’s ferries travel slowly on urban waterways due to massive wake generation. "But with P-12 electric hydrofoil shuttle ship, you can enjoy faster commuting." The ferry weighs 22046 pounds and can travel 40 nautical miles before it needs a charge. "This fusion of flight and electric technologies not only unveils a powerful new business opportunity with nearly 10 times operational efficiency but also offers an unmatched customer experience of comfort and safety," the FlyTahoe CEO said. "Plus, we'll not just be moving people faster; we'll be boosting socio-economic mobility by connecting the north and south of the lake." According to Hasselskog, the technology will unlock "the potential of US waterways for zero-emission transport. "We’re proud to partner with FlyTahoe to bring this revolutionary technology to the US for the very first time," he said.

And Elon Musk has a plan to take Tesla's technology to the seas.( ) is an integrated energy infrastructure company that gathers, processes, stores, and transports natural gas and natural gas liquids. It also provides high-quality, value-added services to customers across North America. The company has outperformed the broader equity markets this year, with returns of 47.3%. Falling interest rates and solid financials have boosted the company’s stock price. It also pays a quarterly of $0.52/share, translating into a forward dividend yield of 4.6%. Let’s assess its recent quarterly performance and growth prospects to determine whether investors could buy Keyera for its 4.6% dividend yield. Keyera’s third-quarter performance Keyera reported an impressive third-quarter performance last month, with its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) growing by 12.1% to $322.24 million. It generated $260.2 million of funds from operations, representing a 9.5% increase from the previous year. Growth across its three segments – Gathering and Processing, Liquids Infrastructure, and Marketing – boosted its operating margin by 49.9%. The Gathering and Processing segment’s operating margin grew 9% during the quarter due to capacity expansion at the Pipestone gas plant and the absence of $16 million in wildfire-related expenses, which the company incurred in the previous year’s quarter. The operating margin of the Liquids Infrastructure segment grew 9.8% due to higher storage contribution and contracted volumes at the Keyera Fort Saskatchewan complex. The company’s Marketing segment, which purchases and sells natural gas liquids, crude oil, and iso-octane, posted an operating margin of $190.8 million, representing a 175% increase from the previous quarter. Increased volume, higher realized price, and unrealized gains from risk management contracts boosted its operating margin. Now, let’s look at its growth prospects. Keyera’s growth prospects In the Gathering and Processing segment, Keyera continues to operate its gas plants at full capacity, thus driving its throughput. With its North region gas plants connecting to the KAPS pipeline system, these facilities have a competitive advantage in providing integrated gas processing, natural gas liquids, and condensate services. Moreover, the company continues strengthening its Liquids Infrastructure segment amid rising demand for fractionation services in Western Canada. It plans to add two fractionation units at the Fort Saskatchewan complex, increasing Keyera’s net fractionation capacity to 155,000 barrels per day. Amid these growth initiatives, the company’s management projects its adjusted EBITDA (keeping the Marketing segment constant) to grow at an annualized rate of 6–7% through 2025. Keyera’s financial position also looks healthy, with liquidity of $1.5 billion. At the end of the third quarter, its net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA stood at 1.9, well below its target of 2.5–3. Dividend and valuation With around 65% of its cash flows underpinned by fee-for-service and take-or-pay contracts, Keyera generates healthy cash flows, irrespective of broader market conditions. Supported by these stable cash flows, the company has raised its dividends at 6% CAGR (Compound annual growth rate) since 2008. Its payout ratio has been healthy at 53% in 2023. Given its low-risk contracted business, growth initiatives, and healthy financial position, I expect Keyera to continue its dividend growth in the coming years. Moreover, Keyera’s valuation looks attractive, with its NTM (next 12 months) and enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiples at 1.5 and 12, respectively. Considering its consistent dividend growth, healthy growth prospects, and cheaper valuation, I believe Keyera would be an excellent buy now.
