Saudi Arabia scored a major win in its campaign to attract major sports events to the kingdom when it was formally appointed as the 2034 World Cup host on Wednesday. Still, many questions remain about the tournament as well as the 2030 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with three games in South America. Here are some of the key issues that need to be answered over the next decade: Saudi Arabia proposes 15 stadiums — eight still on paper — in five cities: Eight in the capital Riyadh, four in the Red Sea port city Jeddah, and one each in Abha, Al Khobar and Neom, the planned futuristic mega-project. Each would have at least 40,000 seats for World Cup games. The opening game and final are set for a 92,000-seat venue planned in Riyadh. Some designs are vivid. In Neom, the stadium is planned 350 meters (yards) above street level and one near Riyadh is designed to be atop a 200-meter cliff with a retractable wall of LED screens. Saudi Arabia aims to host all 104 games, though there has been speculation that some games could be played in neighboring or nearby countries. Surely not in the traditional World Cup period of June-July, when temperatures in Saudi Arabia routinely exceed 40 Celsius (104 degrees). FIFA moved the Qatar-hosted World Cup to November-December 2022, though those dates were not loved by most European clubs and leagues whose seasons were interrupted. Also, that slot is complicated in 2034 by the holy month of Ramadan through mid-December and Riyadh hosting the multi-sport Asian Games. January 2034 could be a possibility even though that would be just before the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The International Olympic Committee has signaled it won’t be opposed to back-to-back major events. In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Saudi World Cup bid official Hammad Albalawi said the precise dates of the tournament are up the world soccer body. “That’s a decision by FIFA. We stand ready to be part of this conversation. But ultimately it’s a FIFA decision together with the confederations,” Albalawi said. Giving more rights and freedoms to women in a traditionally conservative society is fundamental to Saudi messaging around the modernization program known as Vision 2030. The kingdom decided in 2017 to let women attend sports events, initially in major cities and in family zones separate from men-only sections. By 2034, at the promised pace of social reforms, female fans should not be restricted. Saudi Arabia launched a women’s professional soccer league in 2022 with players joining from clubs in Europe. They face no restrictions playing in shorts and with hair uncovered. The Saudi prohibition of alcohol is clear and understood before FIFA signs any sponsor deals for 2034. But will there be any exceptions? The alcohol issue was problematic for the World Cup in Qatar because the expectation was created that beer sales would be allowed at stadiums even before Qatar won its bid in 2010. One year later, FIFA extended a long-time deal to have Budweiser as the official World Cup beer through 2022. Qatar then backtracked on that promise three days before the first game, causing confusion and the sense of a promise broken. In Qatar, alcohol was served only at luxury suites at the stadiums. Visitors could also have a drink in some hotel bars. But Saudi Arabia has even stricter rules on alcohol — and there is no indication that will change. Albalawi noted that Saudi Arabia has successfully hosted dozens of sports events where alcohol wasn't served. “We’re creating a safe and secure family environment for fans to bring their families into our stadiums,” he said. Saudi promises to reform and enforce labor laws, and fully respect migrant workers, have been accepted by FIFA but face broad skepticism from rights groups and trade unions. A formal complaint is being investigated by the U.N.-backed International Labor Organization. Protecting the migrant workers needed to build stadiums and other tournament projects — a decade after it was a defining issue for Qatar — looms as a signature challenge for Saudi Arabia. Saudi-Israeli relations had been improving when FIFA all but gave the 2034 World Cup to the kingdom on Oct. 4 last year. Three days later Hamas attacked Israel and diplomacy got more complicated. Any soccer federation bidding to host a FIFA tournament accepts a basic principle that whichever team qualifies is welcome. That did not stop Indonesia putting up barriers last year to Israel coming for the men’s Under-20 World Cup. Indonesia does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel which had qualified through a European tournament nine months before the issue flared. FIFA moved the entire tournament to Argentina and the Israeli team reached the semifinals. Israel played at the 1970 World Cup but has never advanced through qualifying in Europe, where it has been a member of UEFA for 30 years. Europe should have 16 places in the 48-team World Cup in Saudi Arabia. Most of the attention at the FIFA Congress on Wednesday was on the Saudi decision, but the soccer body and its members also formally approved the hosts of the 2030 World Cup — the most spread out and longest ever. One game each in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, the original host in 1930, will be played from June 8-9. The tournament resumes four days later for the other 101 games shared between Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Six countries, three continents, multiple languages and currencies. Fans traveling on planes, trains, automobiles and boats across about 14 kilometers (10 miles) of water between Spain and Morocco. The final is due on July 21, 2030 and a decision on where it will be played could cause some tension between the host countries. Morocco wants it in the world’s biggest soccer venue — the planned 115,000-seat King Hassan II Stadium in Casablanca. Spain, meanwhile, has proposed to host the final in either of the remodeled home stadiums of club giants Real Madrid or Barcelona. ___ Associated Press writer Baraa Anwer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, contributed to this report.Blinken faces GOP critics in Congress who say Afghanistan withdrawal 'lit the world on fire'

Vikings have ruled out tight end Josh Oliver. What does that mean for the running game?

Xavier aims to rebound from a tough week and get one more critical tune-up for a rivalry matchup when it hosts Morgan State on Tuesday night in Cincinnati. The Musketeers (7-2) were ranked No. 22 in the AP poll two weeks ago but fell out after a 25-point loss to Michigan in the Fort Myers Tip-Off tournament final on Nov. 27. Xavier then barely escaped with a 71-68 home win over South Carolina State on Dec. 1 before losing 76-72 at TCU on Thursday. Dante Maddox Jr. came off the bench to score nine points in 20 minutes on three 3-pointers against the Horned Frogs. He also grabbed six rebounds before fouling out. The Musketeers have been waiting for the Toledo transfer to add a punch to an underwhelming bench cast that many thought would be a strength for Xavier coming into the season. "I really feel like you can almost be baited into a false sense of how deep your team is because you're around guys every day and have a good, older group, which we do," Musketeers coach Sean Miller said. "You see the good in a lot of different guys. It's not until you get 8 to 10, 10 to 15 games in when you truly understand how deep your team is." Maddox hit a 3-pointer and started a fastbreak with a steal that gave Xavier a 60-54 lead with 7:28 remaining, but the Musketeers faded down the stretch and lost for the second time in three games. Maddox is averaging 4.7 points per game, while Ryan Conwell leads the team with 16.6. Tuesday's game will be the last chance for Xavier to straighten up before visiting No. 22 Cincinnati on Saturday for the teams' annual intense crosstown showdown. Morgan State (5-7) is coming off a 102-81 road loss at Bowling Green on Saturday. Preseason All-MEAC First Team selection Will Thomas led the Bears with 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting from the field, while Kameron Hobbs scored 12 points off the bench. Amahrie Simpkins made all five of his field-goal attempts to add 11 points and Wynston Tabbs had 10 points, six rebounds and six assists. Tabbs leads Morgan State in scoring this season at 16.8 points per game, while Simpkins (12.8) and Thomas (12.2) round out the Bears' double-digit scorers. The Bears have struggled away from home, losing all five road contests this season. --Field Level Media

Democrats want unity on own terms When Democrats win the presidency and Congress, every citizen is expected to support and work with the new Democrat government, but the Democrats waste no time. A Jan. 20, 2017, headline in the Washington Post said, “The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun,” moments after his inauguration. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party and its propaganda machine used the lie that there had been Trump/Russian collusion to prevent Trump’s election and hamper his administration. Three years later, that claim was a proven lie. To discredit Trump, he was impeached two times. After announcing that he would run for the presidency in 2024, Democrats used the courts to prosecute Trump because he was their main political opposition. Trump’s appointees were also targeted to defame Trump and his administration. Voters saw the Democratic attempt to eliminate Trump as a political opposition for exactly what it was. People are also reading... Trump will take office of president. Democrats continue to oppose and fight against the Trump administration. The worst has been Biden’s recent permission for Ukraine to use missiles against Russia. That is an attempt to prevent Trump from achieving a rapid diplomatic solution to that war. California Gov. Gavin Newsom just spent $25 million “Trump proof” his state. Mayors of Denver and Chicago said they are willing to go to jail to protect illegal aliens. Those mayors are putting illegal aliens ahead of citizens. They should go to jail. And border czar Tom Homan will put them in jail. Democrats promote political opposition and civil disobedience to the new Trump administration but expect support when they control the government. Richard Pullman, Hallam Coverage didn’t offer balance I tracked headlines about the presidential race in the Lincoln Journal Star over the final 17 days (Oct. 20 through Nov. 5) leading up to Election Day. First of all there were very few articles providing actual information on the two candidates’ positions. As for the coverage, I would summarize the headlines this way: For Donald Trump, three positive and four negative. For Kamala Harris, five positive and zero negative Three were neutral. It would be my assumption the editors hope to provide vital information to voters which will aid them in their voting decisions. However, this survey points out a lack in balanced substantive information. I wish to encourage the editors to provide more balanced election coverage in future election cycles. Gary Schulte, Lincoln A fitting name for a Husker bowl game Well, it may be cold, but the Huskers upcoming bowl game at least has a classy name (the Pinstripe Bowl, sponsored by Bad Boy Mowers), connoting rugged, aggressive things apropos of football, like “Mow ‘em down, Huskers.” Not like those bowls awkwardly named after a remote product unrelated to football: “Tums Upset Stomach Bowl” or some such.

NoneSAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 19, 2024-- Today, 3D generative AI company Backflip announced it is emerging from stealth with $30 million in funding, co-led by NEA and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Angel investors include CTO of Microsoft and co-founder of LinkedIn Kevin Scott, Android founder and AI futurist Rich Miner, and Ashish Vaswani, co-author of the groundbreaking Attention is All You Need research paper. Started by CEO Greg Mark and CTO David Benhaim — the founding team behind carbon fiber and metal industrial 3D printing company Markforged — Backflip started with an audacious premise: What if designers and engineers could go from ideas to reality at the speed of their imagination? What if one designer could move at the speed of 100? That’s the world Backflip is making a reality. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241218887310/en/ A 3D printed copper mug designed in Backflip. (Photo: Business Wire) “The promise of AI extends far beyond transforming knowledge — it is the catalyst for building a world once only imagined,” said Lila Tretikov, NEA Partner and Head of AI Strategy. “I seek out extraordinary founders capable of driving this transformative vision across massive industries, from manufacturing and construction to transportation and robotics. The Backflip team stands at the forefront of this new industrial age at a pivotal time revitalizing American manufacturing, strengthening national security, and accelerating economic prosperity.” Andrew Chen, General Partner at a16z, added, “The line between the physical and virtual world continues to blur. At the cutting edge of all computing advancements has been the push to create 3D simulations in virtual worlds that mirror the real world. That holy grail is within reach now thanks to the convergence of 3D photorealism born out of gaming and VFX with complex physics-based simulations born out of engineering. That's why we're so excited about Backflip's new technology, which will let users turn text into physical reality.” Today, designers and engineers use traditional 3D design software to transform their ideas into digital models to build the modern world. These 3D design tools are the essential backbone of industry, and they unlock the ability to design, refine and create — from film industry special effects to next-generation aircraft, consumer packaged goods, video game characters, and everything in between. While powerful, they are incredibly slow, and fundamentally throttle the design process. Every product that ships has done so without features and refinements that could have been added if the design process was more efficient. “Each era of humanity is defined by the tools we harness. The last 50 years has brought incredible improvement to the pace of innovation in software and electronics, but the design of physical products has lagged behind. We’re building a next-generation design tool that allows a small team to move with the velocity of the biggest engineering army in the world. This is a giant leap forward in bringing design and manufacturing back to the U.S.,” said Mark. Backflip is fundamentally reinventing this status quo, building tools and a foundational AI model that turbocharges the design process for everything in the physical world. Complex designs that would have taken days can now be done in minutes. Today, it is unveiling its first product, an AI-powered design platform that translates user inputs into high resolution, 3D-printable models, and collapses the barriers between idea and execution. Users can produce real parts from a simple text description, or even by snapping a photo of something that broke and needs to be replaced. “AI language models capture how we think, vision models capture how we see, and Backflip is creating foundation models that capture how we build,” said Benhaim. “We’ve invented a novel neural representation that teaches AI to think in 3D, unlocking a new category of models. That development yields 60x more efficient training, 10x faster inference and 100x the spatial resolution of existing state of the art methods. Our series of 3D foundation models will form the kernel for building the real world.” Mark and Benhaim are a unique team of hard tech and software founders who love to build. Prior to founding Backflip, they founded Markforged where they invented carbon fiber and mixed-metal 3D printing. These new processes drove a 20x increase in strength of 3D printed parts and unlocked production capabilities for military, aerospace, and other manufacturing sectors with unyieldingly high performance standards. They grew the company to a public listing in 2021 with a $2.1 billion valuation. Markforged parts are used every day in mission critical applications on places like the International Space Station, automotive manufacturing plants, and U.S. nuclear submarines. About Backflip Backflip is pioneering AI technology for the designers and engineers who create the physical infrastructure of modern life. Its AI-powered 3D design software collapses barriers between idea and implementation and is built for creative problem-solvers across widespread industries, including in mission critical sectors like aerospace, defense and transportation.

Broncos CB Riley Moss ruled out, WR Josh Reynolds questionable to play vs. BrownsJaland Lowe flirted with a triple-double as Pitt improved to 6-0 with a 74-63 win over LSU on Friday afternoon at the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. Lowe finished with a game-high 22 points to go along with eight rebounds and six assists for the Panthers, who have won their first six games of a season for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign. It would have been the second straight triple-double for Lowe, who had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against VMI Monday. Ishmael Leggett chipped in 21 points and Cameron Corhen supplied 14, helping Pitt outshoot the Tigers (4-1) 44.4 percent to 37.3 percent overall. Vyctorius Miller and Jalen Reed recorded 14 points apiece for LSU, with Reed also snatching seven boards. Cam Carter contributed 11 points. Pitt took control in the first four-plus minutes of the second half, opening the period on a 13-0 run to build a 40-28 lead. The Tigers were held scoreless following the break until Carter converted a layup with 13:13 to go. It was still a 12-point game after Zack Austin hit a pair of free throws with 12:50 remaining, but LSU then rallied. Corey Chest, Reed and Jordan Sears each had a bucket down low for the Tigers during an 8-1 spurt that made it 43-38. However, Lowe stemmed the tide, answering with back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Panthers up 49-38 with 9:31 left. Miller did everything he could to keep LSU in contention, scoring eight points in a span of 1 minute, 23 seconds, with his four-point play getting the Tigers within 56-52 with 6:03 to play. But Pitt never let LSU get the upper hand, and it led by at least six for the final 5:05 of the contest. The Tigers had a 28-27 edge at intermission after ending the first half on an 8-2 run. LSU overcame a quick start by the Panthers, who raced out to a 12-6 advantage and led by as many as eight in the first 20 minutes of action. --Field Level MediaSentrycs Concludes a Year of Record Growth with its C-UAS Technology Capable of Addressing the Growing Drone Threat Across Four Continents TEL AVIV, Israel , Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentrycs, a technology leader in the Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) industry, announced today its continued progress globally within the public safety market.

GTA 6 Moon Theory Debunked, Fans Devastated - IGN Daily FixJersey Swap: Nedilijko Labrovic The Augsburg and Croatian goalkeeper was essential to FC Augsburg’s defense today, despite conceding an eventual three goals to Bayern Munich . In his defense, two of those were penalties, which are statistically much harder to save. Labrovic put in a stellar performance between the posts tonight, making eleven different saves, which is no small feat. The goal conceded, aside from the penalties, would have gone past almost any keeper, and so the jersey swap award still goes to him. Der Kaiser: Kim Min-jae Fans are slowly getting used to the Korean defender’s improved performances, but with every game that he starts in, his defensive abilities simply improve consistently. Today was no different. Kim made some crucial recoveries, clearances and interceptions. An argument could be made for Alphonso Davies’ performance tonight as well, and so a shout out goes to the Canadian too. Fußballgott: Leon Goretzka Yeah...you read that right. Surprisingly, the out of favor German was the most in form midfielder for Bayern Munich today, and actually put in a really good performance. He even recorded an assist during the full 90 minutes he played as well as created some really big chances for Bayern. His game was still not exactly up to the mark, but nevertheless, it was the best performance he has put in in a long time. Der Bomber: Jamal Musiala Shock. The Bayern youngster makes the list again, and... well, no one is actually shocked. While Musiala didn’t play the whole game, he was the ideal support to Harry Kane for the time he was on the pitch. He created chances, took shots, and was overall a major threat to FC Augsburg tonight. Like Goretzka, his game was not quite up to the mark today, but it wasn’t exactly a challenging match either. Meister of the Match: Harry Kane The English striker does it again. Kane recorded yet another hat-trick to add to his tally, and no one’s even surprised anymore. He took shots, won penalties, and converted (mostly) the opportunities he got — precisely what a striker should be doing. The Englishman’s triple ensured all three points for Bayern tonight, and although he left it late in the game, he showed up when it counted. What did you think of our award selection? Who else deserves a shout? Let us know in the comments below! Looking for more thoughts and analysis of Bayern Munich’s 3-0 victory over FC Augsburg?
