PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies have no plans to pitch prized prospect Andrew Painter in spring training games as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The 21-year-old Painter hurt his elbow during spring training in 2023 and had surgery that July 25 with Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Painter was the 13th overall pick in the 2021 amateur draft and signed for a $3.9 million bonus. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

Big Tech takes Nasdaq, S&P 500 higher on a day marked by thin volumes

Jameis Winston goes from QB1 to inactive for Browns

Clemson adds top 50 QB to '25 recruiting classIs Jets owner Woody Johnson listening? Because former NFL players are doing everything but fly a plane over the facility in Florham Park tugging a banner that says, “Kiss Aaron Rodgers goodbye when the season ends. Don’t exercise an option. Don’t agree to a pay cut. Dump him.” OK, maybe that’s too much for a single $1,500 banner, but you get the idea. The latest NFL alumnus who has taken a shot (or more) at the aging-before-our-eyes Rodgers is former Pittsburgh Steelers star and Super Bowl champion Ryan Clark , who has been embroiled in a slow-burning feud with the diminshed Rodgers. The most recent episode began when Clark called Rodgers “a fraud” for criticizing players who leverage their popularity on social media and in the media. Clark pointed out that Rodgers has a standing paid gig to appear on The Pat McAfee Show , one of the most popular platforms for sports personalities, hosted by a former NFL punter. “To call out former players, while on a former player’s show? Yes, that made you a fraud to me,” Clark said. Rodgers responded (on McAfee’s show) by insisting that anyone who criticizes him must declare their vaccine status, because, in his mind, any criticism of him, as a celebrated anti-vaxxer, must come from being a pawn in the pharmaceutical industry’s push of Covid vaccines and others. Clark, who is vaccinated, has sickle cell trait, has had his spleen removed, and is immunodeficient, he says. So getting vaccinated against Covid is possibly life-saving for him, not political. Widespread criticism of Rodgers couldn’t have anything to do with his play during a 4-11 season — which has led to the head coach’s firing, the offensive coordinator’s demotion and just one 300-yard passing game, could it? By making any criticism about vaccines and political issues, Rodgers is trying to shield himself from legitimate raps from NFL analysts, who say that he isn’t the quarterback he once was, Clark said on The Stephen A. Smith Show . “I said a million times to you on your show, I think he’s the best quarterback I’ve ever played against,” Clark said. “But that doesn’t in any way negate what we’re seeing from him now — and the arrogance, the smugness, the entitlement he displays as a person when it comes to people who object or people who see things differently than him ... I mean, I’m just tired of it. “And I’m tired of people allowing him to say whatever the hell he wants to say, whenever the hell he wants to say it, without in any way pushing back.” (That final line was Clark firing at McAfee, an ESPN colleague who chuckled at Rogers’ comments.) Clark insists he doesn’t have the luxury of getting personal or using “vaccination, partisanship, or whatever to try to ignore the facts,” as Rodgers has. Clark added that he felt compelled to respond again because Rodgers used ESPN — which produces McAfee’s show — to attack an ESPN employee. “I am an NFL analyst, so in responding to Aaron Rodgers, I need to be able to respond with facts,” Clark said. “I can’t just come out and insult his fashion, I can’t just come out and say things that make zero sense like, ‘State your vaccination status.’ I don’t get to do that. I have to be factual. “Instead of saying ‘Ryan Clark is wrong about me being hypocritical because of X, Y and Z,’ [or] ‘Ryan Clark is wrong to call me arrogant because of X, Y and Z’ ... that is what athletes will do now. They don’t have to combat you with facts, because ... [they are] more popular than I am,” Clark said. Clark’s criticism followed an attack by former Jets star Bart Scott, who called Rodgers record-chasing “despicable.” Rodgers admitted he tried to get his buddy Davante Adams (who caught Rodgers’ 200th and 400th career touchdown passes) to catch Rodgers’ 500th TD pass in the second quarter of Sunday’s 19-9 loss to the L.A. Rams . “Wish he would have caught it,” Rodgers said. Rodgers was 28-for-42 for 256 yards and a TD pass, but couldn’t muster points in the fourth quarter as the Rams rallied to win. Said Scott: “To have a 10-minute drive and end up with nothing. And it’s because you’re going for records, right? Sentimental records. And you’re deciding who gets your record. And I think that’s — that’s despicable.” Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust. Please consider supporting us with a subscription.

Burt died over the weekend, the Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, Australia, said. He was at least 90 years old. “Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor – an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm,” Crocosaurus Cove wrote in social media posts. The aquarium added: “He wasn’t just a crocodile, he was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him and the thousands who visited him over the years.” A saltwater crocodile, Burt was estimated to be more than 16 feet long. He was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River and became one of the most well-known crocodiles in the world, according to Crocosaurus Cove. The 1986 film stars Paul Hogan as the rugged crocodile hunter Mick Dundee. In the movie, American Sue Charlton, played by actress Linda Kozlowski, goes to fill her canteen in a watering hole when she is attacked by a crocodile before being saved by Dundee. Burt is briefly shown lunging out of the water. But the creature shown in more detail as Dundee saves the day is apparently something else. The Internet Movie Database says the film made a mistake by depicting an American alligator, which has a blunter snout. The Australian aquarium where Burt had lived since 2008 features a Cage of Death which it says is the nation’s only crocodile dive. It said it planned to honour Burt’s legacy with a commemorative sign “celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared throughout his time at the park”.In Oscar-Shortlisted ‘Chasing Roo,’ Australia’s Beloved Marsupials Fall To Rifle Shots, By The MillionsJ eff Jarvis was born in 1954 and studied journalism at Illinois’s Northwestern University. He worked as a TV critic and created the magazine Entertainment Weekly , later leading the online arm of US media company Advance Publications. Since 2001, he has been blogging at Buzzmachine.com and in 2005 he became an associate professor at City University of New York’s graduate school of journalism, directing its new media programme before retiring last year. Jarvis, who lives in New York, is the co-host of the podcasts This Week in Google and AI Inside . What made you want to write your new book, The Web We Weave ? My glib answer is that somebody has to defend the freedoms of the internet because I fear they’re under attack. It’s important to say that I’m not defending the corporations or current proprietors of the internet, but I do think that moral panic over the net will lead to regulation that will affect freedoms for all. This turned into more of a critique of media’s coverage than I had predicted. Why do you think the media turned against the internet and big tech? Media have been engaged in moral panics going way back. What separates this media moral panic from others is the conflict of interest involved: in the media’s view, this new technology competes with them for both audience and advertising dollars – and that is rarely revealed. In my book, I chronicle the failures of Rupert Murdoch on the internet and the billions of dollars that he wasted. He decided to turn on it because he couldn’t succeed at it. The Wall Street Journal fired the first shot with a series demonising the cookie and ad targeting. Yes, but social media give a megaphone to our worst instincts and voices... It does that, but it also enables communities who were not there before to come together. To be clear, I’m an old white guy who learns things very late in life, but I’ve learned a lot by reading the scholars of Black Twitter – André Brock Jr, Charlton McIlwain, Meredith Clark. The internet also enabled these communities to come together in a way that they could not gather because they were not heard in mass media. In the book, you tell Shoshana Zuboff and other critics of surveillance capitalism to get a grip. Why? I object to Zuboff’s use of the term “surveillance”, especially today when we have governments that have behind them the power of law, imprisonment, fine and weapons as they surveil populaces. And so to trivialise surveillance by characterising advertising cookies as that is offensive to me and overblown. Should there be changes around ad targeting? Sure, but I don’t think it starts with that kind of a klaxon call. It feels intuitively right to me whenever someone says that phones and social media are negatively affecting our mental health. Why do you push back on that? As I read the literature on this, it’s clear that the research is far from definitive either way. When we blame the phone for young people’s problems , we once again pass over the much more serious issues. In the US, children are afraid to go to school for [fear of] getting shot. Young women evermore have no control over their bodies. They are inheriting a climate that we fucked up. They are in the midst of a fascist takeover of the country. Oh yeah, let’s blame the phones. What’s your take on AI? I’m more frightened of the AI boys than I am of their AI. The problem is they have corrupted the language around it, so the word “safety” is now meaningless because the doomsters treat safety as them not destroying humankind, when there are very real safety issues that need to be dealt with around bias and fraud and the environment and so on. So it’s difficult to have the conversation now because we don’t have common terms. What impact will the Trump administration have on regulation – and more broadly on your vision for reclaiming the internet? I think you’re going to find the companies themselves not regulated, unless Donald Trump doesn’t like them. And this is what we saw at the last minute with [Jeff] Bezos’s horrid Washington Post editorial decision and with Meta trying to back away from all politics. No one wants to make judgments because it’s expensive and risky to do so. On the one hand, we’ll find companies and investors run wild. On the other, we will see some vindictive action from the Trumpists against certain companies because they have this belief that they’ve been discriminated against. Are you surprised by how far to the right certain Silicon Valley billionaires have leaned? I think one shouldn’t be surprised about the corrupting venality of billions of dollars and I think that’s what we saw at work in some of those cases. The argument that I heard during the election was: “Well, maybe the moguls have gone to the right, but the workers have not.” I don’t know. It wasn’t that long ago when employees at Google revolted over machine learning and defence. So far, I’m not hearing any rumblings of a worker revolt from Anthropic against working with evil empire Palantir for defence contracts. So I don’t know where the pulse of Silicon Valley will be, and I fear that it could go farther right all around or farther into a safety cave.

[laughs] God knows. It’s often said that they both want centre stage, so this won’t work, but Trump loves billionaires and crazy, outlandish talk. And Musk, obviously, loves being at the centre of power. His investment in Twitter seemed insane, and it certainly was damaging, but it gave him this power, and this power led to Tesla stock going up. So it probably turned out to be a good investment – in ruining America. I don’t think he’s going to disappear. One of your solutions for making a better internet is to demote the geeks. That feels hard to imagine . Yeah, but looking back at history, it becomes less difficult. Printers were all-important at the beginning, they made every decision and then they were just hired to do an industrial job. Radio, similarly, was a kind of mysterious technology until it wasn’t, and I think the same will be true of the internet and, eventually, AI. With AI, I think that, ironically – and unintentionally – it’s the geeks demoting themselves. I’m not a coder but I can now have a computer do what I want it to do without coders. Eventually, it’s not hard to imagine that anyone can tell the machine what they want to do and it will then do it without the technologists.

(AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” Casey said. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania’s highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate. Follow Marc Levy at twitter.com/timelywriter

Commentary: NRIC debate reveals a greater problem underscoring how we manage identities in SingaporeInstabase Appoints Marketing Veteran Junie Dinda as Chief Marketing Officer

TORONTO — Everything changed for Kia Nurse when she tore her anterior cruciate ligament in the 2021 WNBA playoffs. The basketball star from Hamilton was locked in as starter for a team in the semifinals. She’d been selected as an all-star just two years prior. But in one awkward fall three years ago, she was plunged into the depths of surgery and rehab. Nurse would miss the entire 2022 season due to the injury. She signed with the Seattle Storm for the 2023 campaign before a trade landed her with the Los Angeles Sparks last season. Meanwhile, Nurse represented Canada at the Paris Olympics in August, but she struggled as the team failed to reach the knockout round for the second straight time. The common thread throughout Nurse’s recent basketball journey? She just hasn’t quite felt like herself. “I still love basketball with all of my heart, and it's my favourite thing that I get to do. And I'm so privileged to be able to say that I get to do it as a job,” Nurse said. "But the last two years for me have been just really rocky, up and down.” Nurse, 28, will become a WNBA free agent as of Feb. 1. For now, she’s continuing her Raptors broadcast work with TSN and, on Monday, announced a new playing gig. In February, Nurse will join fellow WNBAers Alysha Clark and Sydney Colson among 37 others for Athletes Unlimited’s third basketball season in Nashville. Athletes Unlimited was founded as a women’s professional softball league in 2020 before expanding to basketball, volleyball and lacrosse. Its 24-game hoops campaign switches teams weekly and concludes by crowning a season-long individual champion. Players earn points through a fantasy-style system that rewards team successes like wins as well as individual accomplishments from made three-pointers to steals to drawn fouls. Outside of the unique scoring system, the game looks like traditional basketball — a major appeal to Nurse as she attempts to tap back into her roots. “I am not proud of my performance at the Olympics and not necessarily proud of how I’ve been playing over the last two years. I just have goals of finding my true love of the game and kind of coming back and being stronger physically, being more fit and just ultimately having a good year,” Nurse said. When Nurse’s career began in 2018, many WNBA players would ply their trade overseas during the off-season as a way of staying in shape and making additional money. But over the past half-decade — and perhaps expedited by Brittney Griner’s 2022 detainment in Russia — more options have emerged stateside, including Athletes Unlimited. “The (WNBA) now has a lot of the teams that have practice facilities, so they have full-time player development, practice-facility access and that's a big piece as well. But now ultimately we have these leagues at home like AU,” Nurse said. Athletes Unlimited will not be the only professional women’s basketball operation in North America this winter. A three-on-three league called Unrivaled, founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, will tip off in January in Miami. Nurse said Unrivaled was an option for her, but she preferred Athletes Unlimited. “I wanted a place where I'm happy with basketball again, really happy with myself and how I'm playing and a having a little more confidence boost from what I've had over these last two years. And I feel like AU, for me, that five-on-five setting was a big piece of it,” Nurse said. The timing of the Athletes Unlimited schedule — deep enough into the WNBA off-season but with enough leeway to fine tune things before the 2025 campaign begins — also stood out to Nurse. Ahead of AU, Nurse said she moved her training from Toronto to Hamilton, where she could stay closer to home and avoid the long highway drives. And following two seasons in which Nurse’s WNBA teams suffered a combined 61 losses, she’s hoping to find a landing spot in free agency with a winning franchise. “I want to ... have an opportunity make a deep playoff run, be kind of like an X-Factor player, somebody who can go out there, be a three-and-D player, can help make winning plays,” she said. Nurse said she and fellow WNBA veteran Bridget Carleton have discussed what went wrong in Paris and how it can be fixed ahead of Los Angeles 2028. Management changes have already occurred with the retirement of GM Denise Dignard and a mutual parting with head coach Victor Lapena. The national team recently met up in Toronto for an informal training camp where Nurse and Carleton aimed to lay the groundwork for the culture they hope to create over the next four years. “Getting back to the basics and just enjoying playing for Canada Basketball, but also creating a really strong, bonded culture where everybody does what they need to do for our team to win," she said. "We understand our roles (and) we understand the commitment piece of it because now there's so much going on and people are all over the place."

Tens of thousands of Spaniards protest housing crunch and high rents in BarcelonaWhat's New President-elect Donald Trump is once again suggesting that the U.S. buy Greenland, an autonomous territory that has been part of Denmark for more than 600 years. And once again, experts are explaining why it's not possible for Trump to carry out what he sees as an "absolute necessity" for America. "Here we go again," Malte Humpert, a senior fellow at the Arctic Institute and its founder, told Newsweek on Monday. "This idea remains as ludicrous as it was in 2019." Why This Matters Greenland has access to the Arctic, where an international competition has arisen in recent years as nations race to claim northern territory in hopes of accessing natural resources abundant in the region, like gold, silver, copper and uranium. The U.S. has tried to acquire Greenland four times in the past, with the most recent attempt in 2019, when Trump first considered the idea. In recent weeks, Trump has also suggested that Canada become the 51st U.S. state and has referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "governor" of the "Great State of Canada." Which Country Owns Greenland? Greenland, which is home to 56,000 residents, has been part of Denmark since the 18th century but was granted home rule in 1979 and has been a self-governed nation since 2009. Still, Denmark contributes two-thirds of Greenland's budget, and its association with the world's largest island that's not a continent has allowed Greenland to receive funding from the European Union . Although the island is self-ruled, it is home to a large U.S. military base. Besides Trump, Democrats have proposed buying Greenland. President Harry Truman offered to purchase it from Denmark in 1946 for $100 million in gold. What To Know While announcing Sunday that he had selected PayPal co-founder Ken Howery to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Denmark, Trump wrote on Truth Social, "For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity." Marc Jacobsen, who researches and advises on Arctic security politics and diplomacy, told Newsweek , "While Trump's rhetoric and choice of words is 'one of a kind,' his interest in Greenland echoes the U.S.'s historic interest focusing on geostrategic location and mineral wealth. He went on: "The worsened relations to China, Russia and others intensify Greenland's geostrategic importance at the moment, while Greenland's vast deposits of rare earth elements are extra interesting due to their potential use in modern technologies." Jacobsen, who is also an associate professor at the Royal Danish Defense College, said it's worth noting Greenland's reactions to Trump's purchase idea. While it was seen as "neocolonial provocation" in 2019, this time it has been viewed as "an opportunity to strengthen bilateral ties between Greenland and the U.S.," Jacobsen said. "Following the 2019 idea—and the amplified American attention toward the Arctic—Greenland experienced enhanced agency in international politics," he said. "This is important for Greenland in its strive toward independence. Today, several Greenlandic politicians state that of course Greenland is not for sale, but they are very interested in strengthening ties with the U.S., especially in ways that can improve the Greenlandic economy." What Has Trump Said About Greenland? In 2019, Trump told reporters, "We're very good allies with Denmark. We protect Denmark like we protect large portions of the world. So the concept came up and I said, 'Certainly I'd be.' Strategically, it's interesting and we'd be interested, but we'll talk to them a little bit. It's not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that. "Essentially, it's a large real estate deal. A lot of things can be done," he said about a Greenland purchase. After his comments were widely criticized by Danish officials, Trump announced he was canceling his scheduled meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who called Trump's suggestion "an absurd discussion." What People Are Saying Humpert told Newsweek : "Rather than focusing on grandiose and unrealistic plans to buy sovereign territories, the incoming Trump administration should direct its focus to help the U.S. strengthen its Arctic presence by finally sufficiently funding the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker program and removing hurdles to acquire foreign-built icebreakers." Howery wrote on X (formerly Twitter) : "I know first-hand the power of diplomacy to advance American interests and strengthen alliances, and I am grateful for the opportunity to return to Europe to promote the President's agenda. I look forward to working with the dedicated teams at U.S. Embassy Copenhagen and U.S. Consulate Nuuk in Greenland to deepen the bonds between our countries." Republicans Against Trump posted on X : "Donald Trump suggested taking ownership of Greenland as he announced Ken Howery as his pick for U.S. ambassador to Denmark. Trump isn't even in office yet, and we're already becoming the laughingstock of the world." What's Next Greenland's prime minister, Múte Bourup Egede, responded to Trump's remarks on Monday, saying in a statement, "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and we will never be for sale. We must not lose our long fight for freedom." What Has Trump Said About the Panama Canal? In separate remarks made earlier in the weekend, Trump demanded that Panamanian authorities lower fees for U.S. ships or risk having the U.S. regain control of the Panama Canal. The Central American country was given ownership of the canal in 1999 following a treaty signed in 1979. "If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question," Trump wrote in a series of lengthy Truth Social posts on Saturday. Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino hit back at Trump's comments, saying, "Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent zones is part of Panama, and it will continue to be."
