By JILL COLVIN NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump wants to turn the lights out on daylight saving time. In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office. “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote. Setting clocks forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall is intended to maximize daylight during summer months, but has long been subject to scrutiny. Daylight saving time was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. Lawmakers have occasionally proposed getting rid of the time change altogether. The most prominent recent attempt, a now-stalled bipartisan bill named the Sunshine Protection Act , had proposed making daylight saving time permanent. The measure was sponsored by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio , whom Trump has tapped to helm the State Department.

Rick Scott of Florida said as the Senate voted in favor of the measure. Health experts have said that lawmakers have it backward and that standard time should be made permanent. Some health groups , including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have said that it’s time to do away with time switches and that sticking with standard time aligns better with the sun — and human biology. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time. For those that do, the date that clocks are changed varies, creating a complicated tapestry of changing time differences. Arizona and Hawaii don’t change their clocks at all.PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington was minding his own business during practice recently, doing his due diligence while running his route when the ball suddenly came his way. Washington wasn't sure what option he was on the play. he certainly wasn't first. Probably not even second. Maybe not even third. Washington was on the back side all by his lonesome while a sea of wide receivers and running backs zig-zagged across quarterback Russell Wilson's field of vision. Only, Wilson didn't like what he saw. Not enough to throw it anyway. So he pivoted to his left and found Washington wide open for a big gain. Asked if he was surprised to find the ball in his hands, Washington nodded. “A little bit,” he said. “I don't know. I don't know what was going on with the other people.” Wilson did. He almost always seems to these days for the first-place Steelers (9-3), who find themselves atop the AFC North behind the play of their resurgent 36-year-old quarterback, who has taken a decidedly democratic approach to resurrecting his career. The nine-time Pro Bowler threw the ball to 10 different players while piling up 414 yards last week against the Bengals . Sure, mercurial star George Pickens got the ball. But so did Washington. And third tight end MyCole Pruitt. And wide receiver Ben Skowronek, who turned his second catch of the season into a 23-yard gain on a drive that ended with one of Wilson's three touchdown passes. “You never know when it’s coming your way,” Skowronek said. Not with Wilson at the controls. Fourteen different players have at least one catch this season for the Steelers. That includes Mike Williams, whose lone grab a month since being acquired from the New York Jets is a 32-yard rainbow for the winning score in the final minutes against Washington. It also includes Skowronek, who spent the early portion of the season on injured reserve and worried he'd sort of lost his place in line while he rehabbed. Skowronek and his teammates have quickly learned that with Wilson, there is no “line." During his six starts since returning from a calf injury, Wilson has thrown it wherever, whenever. “It’s like in baseball,” said Wilson, a former minor league second baseman. “You’ll never hit a home run if you don’t swing. And I really believe that you’ve got to swing, you’ve got to trust guys. You’ve got to be able to trust yourself.” Something that hasn't been an issue for Wilson for years, even if he arrived in Pittsburgh at a crossroads following an abrupt fall from grace in Denver. The Steelers couldn't sign Wilson to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum fast enough, and Wilson wasted little time building a rapport with players who were relative strangers. What began with throwing sessions in San Diego has morphed into team dinners and Friday nights where Wilson and first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will hole themselves up in the team facility poring over tapes and bouncing ideas off each other until their wives call wondering where they are. On game days, that work manifests itself in various ways. It's tight end Pat Freiermuth drifting toward an open area while Wilson scrambles, as he did two plays after Skowronek's grab for a 25-yard touchdown. It's Wilson calling an audible at the line of scrimmage late against Cincinnati to hit Van Jefferson for a 43-yard gain that led to a clinching field goal. It's not just good for the stat sheet, it's good for the vibes. “Morale is a big part,” Smith said. Guys who want to be invested. Spreading it around is beneficial in a myriad of ways. It means players don't feel they are “decoys on every play,” as Smith put it. It also means once you put it on film, it means opponents have to find a way to defend it. And the more things an opponent has to defend, the better for an offense, particularly one led by a quarterback who will make his 195th start on Sunday when Cleveland (3-9) visits. “Russ has seen every coverage,” Skowronek said. “He’s ran all these concepts before. So he knows progressions like probably the back of his hand.” Besides, Wilson knows he can't just preach about the importance of being unselfish without practicing it a little bit too. That means giving opportunities to those who have worked for it, no matter where they might fall on the depth chart. “I think that the best part about it is that we’re all super close,” Wilson said. “And I think that bond is really everything too, and just the understanding of each guy and the relationships that we have together, it’s fun. We’re having a great time.” It sure looks like it. The Steelers are averaging a healthy 28.7 points since Wilson recovered from a calf injury that forced him to watch the first six games from the sideline. For the first time in a long time, Pittsburgh no longer has to rely exclusively on its defense to get by. While Mike Tomlin will never get comfortable with the idea of getting into a shootout — blame his defensive coaching roots before taking over in Pittsburgh in 2007 — it's nice to know his team can match opponents score for score if necessary. Another one could be looming against the Browns, who piled up more than 500 yards in a loss to Denver on Monday night. If one materializes, Wilson is ready to do whatever is necessary and find whoever is necessary, regardless of pedigree, salary or resume. “We got to love that part of it,” Wilson said. “We can’t fear it. We’ve got to want it. We’ve got to expect it. We’ve got to embrace it. We’ve got to challenge that. We’ve got to be in those moments and be locked into that moment. I think we do an extremely good job of that.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfljiliko com login registration 。

The first indicator was the sudden appearance of a farmers’ market a few years ago. But when Pilates studios and small free libraries started popping up in my suburb of Beaconsfield recently, I knew the gentrification was well under way. You know where you live is upscaling when hipster husbands happily fill crocheted shopping bags with overpriced organic produce while munching on homemade kale cookies. My working-class hamlet’s upward trajectory was assured once designer dogs started to replace the marauding mutts. Fremantle Farmers’ Market, set up at Bruce Lee Reserve in the heart of Beaconsfield, is packed every Sunday. Credit: Fremantle Farmers' Market Beaconsfield is only a short bike ride to the South Fremantle cafe strip, South Beach and the port city, so it was just a matter of time before it shed its blue-collar charm. When we first moved into the 6162 postcode more than 16 years ago, there wasn’t a single McMansion in the street. Now our quaint, ramshackle 1960s cottage has slowly been dwarfed by shiny, two-storey, white boxes. Thankfully several lush gum trees, home to quirky birdlife, have avoided the chop. While some of the new abodes are architecturally uninspiring, the revamp has brought something wonderfully unexpected: a tranquillity and quietness that is oddly comforting. However, lurking just beneath this harmonious narrative of urban life is the dangerous new weapon of surveillance technology. Home owners want their gentrified space kept safe, so every house appears to be fitted with CCTV cameras and “smart” video doorbells. I’m reluctant to stroll to the letterbox in my elephant undies or mix up my recyclables with household waste, fearing some upbeat digital native will expose me on TikTok as a biosphere-destroying boomer. Sometimes when a place goes through a dramatic spruce-up there can be a beige homogeneity. But there are still shops run by several European families that migrated to the area post World War II. The local independent grocer, the Grocer and the Chef, serves up the most scrumptious continental rolls anywhere in WA. Whatever apocalypse befalls humanity, this eatery will be the first place raided. The newly opened Beaconsfield Wine Bar has further elevated the rundown shopping strip. The community was clearly craving a boutique watering hole with a tantalising selection of vino, beer and cocktails, combined with zesty, tapas-sized portions of Parisian-inspired delicacies, because the joint is always packed.

Credit: Brendan Foster It wasn’t that long ago the suburb was dubbed “Beacy Bronx” because of the ongoing antisocial behaviour in one of WA’s last remaining public housing precincts, Davis Park, but there are many places a good deal more terrifying and nasty and anyway, the public housing estate has since been bulldozed to make way for affordable homes and a retail hub. Ironically, Davis Park will form part of the Heart of Beaconsfield masterplan, along with the former South Fremantle TAFE site and Lefroy Road quarry. It will undoubtedly follow the script of urban intensification and send house prices through the roof. Not that the suburb needs a leg up after recently joining the $1 million club. The author enjoying one of the famous rolls from Grocer and the Chef. Credit: Brendan Foster Although given the median house price in Perth is now just a tick under $900,000, according to Domain , Beaconsfield isn’t part of some selective sorority. Sadly, the musicians, artists and colourful characters who gave the area grittiness and style are being displaced because of the skyrocketing prices. I am not advocating some proletarian uprising against the gentrifiers who have no hankering to rip the heart and soul out of the place. I understand the pull of the suburb for young families given the array of parks, schools and shops. Although any Millennials who giddily tell me which Hogwarts house they belong to will get poked in the eye with their Harry Potter wands. Beaconsfield hasn’t totally shaken its shabbiness. You can still hire a truck, get a tattoo, and risk toxic shock syndrome via a two-day-old pie from one of the local delis. Despite the urban renewal, there is a strong egalitarian sensibility about the suburb, which I find appealing. You get the sense people would have your back. A few years ago, the NAB Charitable Giving Index named Beaconsfield WA’s most charitable postcode, even though the weekly wage was seven per cent below the state’s average, and noted the strong community spirit in the area. This is very admirable considering our household members dive under the couch when we hear the rattling of a collection tin. Not everyone benefits from gentrification, but I have no desire to be trapped in a neighbourhood frozen in time, where the only cup of coffee I can get is from the local servo. And the glacial rebirth of Beacy has morphed it into a walkable suburb. Coffee, food and booze are only a stroll away. Surely, that’s the Holy Trinity of a village life.

On Friday Coalition MPs were called to a Monday morning gathering in Canberra, party sources said, where Dutton and communications spokesman David Coleman planned to field questions about Labor’s proposed law to ban children under 16 from platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and communications spokesman David Coleman will face concerned MPs. Credit: Louise Kennerley Right-wing Coalition senators Matt Canavan and Alex Antic have been sharply critical of the bill’s potential to require Australians to give tech giants their IDs and the power it would give the eSafety Commission, which is a federal agency that will be charged with overseeing the ban. But doubts about the bill, which was only released last week, have expanded from the pair to more mainstream Coalition MPs, setting up the meeting as a test of the opposition leader’s authority after he hauled his party room into line on abortion earlier this month. On Sunday night, the MPs were informed Monday’s meeting was cancelled, with the conversation to take place on Tuesday as part of the Coalition’s party room meeting. The Coalition leadership remains confident of overwhelming support for the bill inside the party, according to several opposition sources speaking anonymously about internal dynamics. Dutton, whose office declined to comment, plans to hear out his concerned colleagues but ultimately expects the party to back the bill, allowing it to pass parliament this week. The opposition rode a wave of conservative and libertarian campaigning against Labor’s misinformation bill in recent months before the government dropped its plan to crack down on falsehoods online on Sunday. Some of the groups and people behind that campaign, including One Nation, the Libertarian Party and former Coalition MPs George Christensen and Craig Kelly, have launched an email crusade about the social media age barrier that has resulted in complaints flooding into MPs inboxes. They endorse the view of X owner Elon Musk, who wrote on the platform last month that the ban “seems like a backdoor way to control access to the internet by all Australians” because it could require users to prove their identities before accessing major online services. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland was asked about the need to hand over ID in a Labor caucus meeting last week and said her laws would not force people to give ID documents to social media giants, dismissing the prospect as a right-wing scare campaign. However, the government has not announced the technology that would be used to prove a user’s age. ‘A red flag’ LNP MP Garth Hamilton said Labor had rushed the legislation and sent mixed signals about details such as which platforms would be included. The Wiggles successfully lobbied to allow YouTube to remain while Snapchat will be banned, though both apps now also have a TikTok-style feed of clips. “The tests for this bill are that it should not be a proxy for digital ID [to be required to access the internet] and that it actually responds to parents’ needs,” Hamilton said.“I fully agree with Peter Dutton’s concerns about the impacts of social media, and they are long-held. But Labor has had a long time to get details right [and] the utter confusion on the detail is a red flag.” Coleman, who first proposed a teen ban in an April interview with this masthead at a time when Labor opposed such a change , told opposition MPs last week that the government could use a “double-blind tokenised approach” suggested by the eSafety Commission last year. That would allow a third party to verify a user’s age on a social media platform without revealing the identity information used to do so, while another option could force companies that operate app stores, such as Google and Apple, to take on the role. Labor announced the ban early this month after years of claims that social media was harming children’s mental health, much of which is disputed by the technology giants, and argued that it would bolster parents’ ability to reject pestering from kids to go online. But detractors including Ben Thompson, the boss of major Australian tech firm Employment Hero, said on X that bill would make it harder for children with special needs to make friends online. “Not to mention that it’s a Trojan Horse for digital ID and further censorship,” he said. On Sunday, Greens communications spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young called advocates for the ban well-intentioned, but said the bill was rushed compared to the government’s halting approach to gambling reform. “The government and the opposition are ramming through a ban on social media that was introduced on Thursday,” she said on ABC’s Insiders . “We’ve got a joke of a Senate inquiry for three days tomorrow. But they can’t do gambling ... Talk about priorities.” Cut through the noise of federal politics with news, views and expert analysis.

Six things we learned from the election campaign trail todayThe Dodgers and pitcher Dustin May avoided arbitration Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.135-million contract for next season, according to a person with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly. The deal came ahead of Friday’s deadline for teams to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players. May, 27, has a 3.10 earned-run average in 46 appearances but has yet to fulfill his promise as a top prospect because of struggles with injuries, making just 20 starts since the beginning of 2021. May had Tommy John surgery five starts into his 2021 season, scuttling his impressive start. After returning near the end of 2022, May had his 2023 season cut short by another elbow surgery, this time to repair his flexor tendon. Then, after initially hoping to return this past season, May required surgery for a torn esophagus in July after feeling a pain in his throat and stomach at dinner, sidelining him for the remainder of the year. Despite all that, the Dodgers still envision May as a potential impact player in his final season under team control before free agency. The right-hander is expected to be ready for opening day. The Dodgers are hopeful that, even after two significant elbow surgeries, he still will possess much of his old, wicked stuff. And for a team that remains in need of starting pitching, May should be an option to provide depth and innings. With May’s contract settled, the Dodgers have seven other players eligible for arbitration: Evan Phillips (who is estimated to receive $6.2 million, per MLB Trade Rumors ), Tony Gonsolin ($5.4 million), Michael Kopech ($5.2 million), Brusdar Graterol ($2.7 million), Gavin Lux ($2.7 million), Alex Vesia ($1.9 million) and Anthony Banda ($1.1 million). Another arbitration-eligible player, reliever Connor Brogdon, was outrighted to triple-A Oklahoma City last week.
