U.S. automakers and other companies that could be hurt particularly by such tariffs fell. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are rising toward records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% and was on track to top its all-time high set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 81 points, or 0.2%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.5% higher, with less than an hour remaining in trading. Stock markets abroad were down, but mostly only modestly, after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada's main index edged down by just 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. General Motors sank 8.2%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.9%. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support to the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the overall economy and prices for investments, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed's last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. Unlike tariffs in Trump's first term, his proposal from Monday night would affect products across the board. Trump’s tariff talk came almost immediately after U.S. stocks rose Monday amid excitement about his pick for Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent. The hope was the hedge-fund manager could steer Trump away from policies that balloon the U.S. government deficit, which is how much more it spends than it takes in through taxes and other revenue. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another set of mixed profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates instituted by the Fed to get inflation under control. Kohl’s tumbled 17.6% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.7% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. J.M. Smucker jumped 5.4% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 after topping analysts' expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 2.8% for Amazon and 2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. In the bond market, Treasury yields rose following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.30% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It's since dipped back toward $91,600, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors. ___ AP Business Writer Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.

The floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) Prometheus is expected to depart from Shanghai in a matter of hours, Energy Minister George Papanastasiou said on Friday. The FSRU will form part of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) project at Vasiliko. Responding to reporter’s questions on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Ahera Photovoltaic Park by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), the minister confirmed the vessel’s imminent departure. Minister Papanastasiou said that after leaving Shanghai, the “Prometheus” will head to another destination to undergo certification as a floating gasification unit. He added that discussions were underway to deploy the unit temporarily at another location until the infrastructure at Vasiliko in Cyprus is ready. EAC Chairman and Natural Gas Infrastructure Company (ETYFA) Vice President Geroge Petrou highlighted that final preparations were being made for the vessel’s departure, including obtaining the necessary certifications. “If everything proceeds smoothly and water levels rise, the vessel may set sail for Singapore as early as tomorrow morning.” Addressing concerns about potential challenges in Cyprus’ involvement with the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) project, Papanastasiou clarified that the project was progressing as planned. He said Cyprus has political and financial support, including an annual contribution of €25 million for up to five years, capped at €125 million. He added that Cyprus has access to European funds that could be used to become a shareholder in the project, though this would depend on meeting specific conditions. He noted that a commissioned evaluation study conducted a cost-benefit analysis and suggested amendments to documents provided by the project’s implementing body, ADMIE. Papanastasiou dismissed reports of significant delays or issues with the project. On the question of Cyprus’ involvement without ownership, the minister remarked that this is one of the considerations under discussion. He stressed that any financial contribution from Cyprus should ensure proportional ownership, reflecting its capital investment. He expressed optimism that continued collaboration between Cyprus and Greece, fostered by their memorandum of understanding, would lead to solutions for all outstanding issues raised by the evaluation.

A new $500,000 observatory just outside of St. Adolphe, equipped with a powerful PlaneWave CDK350 telescope, can now be accessed remotely by students. The upgrade replaces aging equipment and allows students to conduct studies and research from anywhere they have an internet connection, giving them a 360-degree view of the heavens above, provided there are clear skies. RUTH BONNEVILLE / FREE PRESS Ryan Wierckx, who will start his masters program in January, helped with design and assembly work on the observatory. “It’s a brand-new, top-of-the-line, research-grade telescope, remote-operable, and you can do research-grade astronomical projects, studying explosions in the night sky, dense globular clusters, the building blocks of galaxies and on and on,” said Tyrone Woods, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the U of M. “It’s an astounding resource for students ... and gives them a highest-calibre, top of the international class research experience.” The school held their grand opening at the site on Tuesday, which almost didn’t happen as the road to get to the observatory needed to be cleared of snow. Woods said it only highlighted the need for remote access. “It’s not the most accessible site ... and there’s not even a bathroom here,” he said. Ryan Wierckx, who will start his masters program in January, helped with design and assembly work on the observatory. “My main philosophy with designing this telescope was to make it completely remotely accessible,” he said. That meant a robust pier made of 24-inch thick concrete that’s anchored 30 feet deep into the ground and a levelling and alignment system that ensures everything stays where it’s supposed to be. The dome moves 360 degrees and can open completely, allowing unobstructed sky views above. Wierckx said the new technology also makes teaching more efficient and informative. “It’s more modern equipment,” he said. “It’s much better to train them on this equipment, so when they’re out in the field, they’re familiar with the kind of equipment a lot of universities would employ.” RUTH BONNEVILLE / FREE PRESS From left: Ryan Wierckx, assistant professor Tyrone Woods, and new graduate students, Jade Yeung (behind pillar) Charles Lee and Mark Pirgalinat, at the Glenlea Remote Observatory during its grand opening Tuesday. First- and second-year students will observe variable stars, which tell researchers more about the lives of those stars and subtle clues to measure cosmic distances. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Students further into the program will delve deeper into the origins of the universe, Woods said, monitoring dense knots of stars known to be 13 billion years old — not that long after the universe was formed. There are more terrestrial uses, including satellite tracking, following the exponential growth in orbital debris and studying optical communications, which allow terabyte-per-second speeds. Wierckx’s primary interest is in galaxies, but students who look into nebulae, comets and myriad other areas of space can take advantage of the new telescope. “Right now, we want our graduate class to be looking at globular clusters, big clusters of stars that are gravitationally bound,” he said. “By looking at them, we get a sense of the age of those clusters and really helps us gauge distances.” scott.billeck@freepress.mb.ca Scott Billeck is a general assignment reporter for the .

Why MongoDB Stock Surged TodayVanquishing Bears, Thanksgiving losing streak tops Lions' holiday list(TNS) — Amazon Web Services intends to invest an estimated $10 billion to bolster its data center infrastructure in Ohio, creating hundreds of new, well-paying jobs by the end of 2030 and strengthening the state’s role as a major technology hub. The company, along with the Ohio governor’s office, announced the plan Monday. The investment boosts the total the company has committed to spending in Ohio by the end of the decade to more than $23 billion. The $10 billion will allow Amazon to expand its data centers outside of Central Ohio to new sites in communities across the state. The new data centers will contain computer servers, data storage drives, networking equipment, and other forms of technology infrastructure used to power cloud computing, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, the company said in a joint statement with Gov. Mike DeWine. The exact locations for that investment have not been finalized, according to the statement. Investment plans are contingent upon the execution of long-term energy service agreements. “As reliance on digital services continues to grow, so does the importance of data centers; they are critical to today’s modern economy,” DeWine said in the announcement. “AWS’s substantial investment in Ohio will help keep our state at the forefront of the global technology.” Amazon Web Services’ growth is part of o. The centers consume huge amounts of electricity to run. Google has described them as “the engines behind the digital services” that “help keep the Internet up and running.” Consumer-facing brands like Amazon, Google and Meta all have developed centers, as well as less familiar names like Quality Technology Services and CyrusOne. From the outside, they can look like large factories. Inside, they often employ 20 to 30 or so workers when operational. State and local governments have granted hundreds of millions in tax breaks for the development of the centers. Grid operators, though, worry the facilities could overburden the available power supply. Last year, Amazon . That was on top of $6 billion already invested through 2022. Amazon opened its first Ohio data center in 2016 and has since invested $10.3 billion in Ohio. The company estimates it has contributed about $3.8 billion in total gross domestic product to the state between 2015-2023. Today’s announcement brought the company’s planned investment in Ohio between 2015 and the end of 2030 to more than $23 billion. This represents the second-largest planned investment by a single private sector company in the state’s history, the governor’s office said, after being built outside Columbus. “Today, we reaffirm our long-term commitment to Ohio with plans to invest an additional $10 billion to expand our data center infrastructure in greater Ohio to drive innovation in AI for customers,” Roger Wehner, vice president of economic development at Amazon Web Services, said in a statement. “This expanded investment is expected to create new, well-paying jobs, boost Ohio’s GDP, and further cement our partnership with the state. We are also proud to continue expanding the reach of workforce development and educational programs that equip Ohio’s next generation of tech talent through strong public and private partnerships.” JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef said Monday that Amazon Web Services’ investment has helped make Ohio one of the nation’s foremost technology centers, helping to attract business innovators to the state. JobsOhio was one of multiple economic development teams collaborating with Amazon to support the expansion. “AWS was the first major cloud provider in our state and their success has helped pave the way for the explosive growth we’re seeing now,” Nauseef said in a statement. ©

Justin Trudeau taking the time to reflect following Freeland departureThe PGA Tour announced its schedule of seven post-season tournaments for the fall of 2025 on Tuesday with no Las Vegas event on the calendar for the first time since 1983. The lineup is one fewer than this year and tees off with the Procore Championship in Napa, California, on September 11-14, two weeks after the 2025 Tour Championship. Absent from the schedule is the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas. After the Ryder Cup next September at Bethpage Black, the PGA Tour events resume with the Sanderson Farms Championship on October 2-5. The PGA Tour's Japan stop, the Baycurrent Classic, will be October 9-12 at Yokohama Country Club followed by the Black Desert Championship on October 23-26 in Utah. The World Wide Technology Championship at Los Cabos, Mexico, will be November 6-9 followed the next week by the Bermuda Championship and the RSM Classic on November 20-23 at Sea Island, Georgia. "With events in four US states, Japan, Mexico and Bermuda, the conclusion to the 2025 golf calendar promises to be exciting for our fans worldwide," said Tyler Dennis, PGA Tour chief competitions officer. Under tighter qualifying rules for the 2026 PGA Tour approved by the Player Advisory Council last month, only the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings will secure exempt status with the 50 who reach next year's BMW Championship being exempt into signature events for 2026. Those ranked 51st and beyond will take FedEx Cup points into the fall to try and accumulate eligibility points for the 2026 campaign. Three PGA Tour Challenge season events will be played next December -- the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas hosted by Tiger Woods, the LPGA-PGA mixed-team Grant Thornton Invitational and the PNC Championship parent-child event. Tour commissioner Jay Monahan also announced Tuesday that the PGA is searching for a new chief executive officer whose job would be to grow the business side of the operation in light of the $1.5 billion investment in PGA Tour Enterprises by Strategic Sports Group, a set of team sports owners. js/bb

Monport Laser Unwraps the "Christmas Laser Bonanza" - Spark Your Creativity with Unbeatable Festive Offers

One day, when actor and comedian Rosie O'Donnell was in her 50s, her body ached and her arms felt sore, but she pushed through the pain, not realizing she was having a massive heart attack. She had surgery to put in a stent that saved her life. Shortly after her 2012 heart attack, O'Donnell shared her experience on her blog. During her 2015 television standup special, she spoke about how the experience changed her life. The segment included a heart attack acronym the comedian coined: HEPPP (hot, exhausted, pain, pale, puke). O'Donnell's candidness about her heart attack helped spread awareness about how it can present differently in women. She's one of countless celebrities over the years who have opened up about their health conditions, including breast cancer, HIV, depression, heart disease and stroke. When celebrities reveal and discuss their health issues, the impact can be far-reaching. It not only helps to educate the public, but it also can reduce stigma and inspire others. "Health disclosures by celebrities do matter, and we know this from decades of research across a lot of different health conditions and public figures," said Dr. Jessica Gall Myrick, a professor of health communication at Pennsylvania State University in University Park. "They absolutely do influence people." Some of the earliest celebrity health disclosures happened in the 1970s and 1980s with U.S. presidents and first ladies. When first lady Betty Ford was diagnosed with breast cancer just weeks after Gerald Ford became president in 1974, she spoke openly about her diagnosis, inviting photographers into the White House and helping make talk of cancer less taboo. In 1987, first lady Nancy Reagan used her breast cancer diagnosis as a chance to advocate for women to get mammograms. Her disclosure came two years after President Ronald Reagan's colon cancer diagnosis, about which the couple was equally as vocal. "Individuals throughout the country have been calling cancer physicians and information services in record numbers," the Los Angeles Times reported after Nancy Reagan's widely publicized surgery. The public showed a similar interest years earlier following Betty Ford's mastectomy. Another major milestone in celebrity health disclosures came in 1991, when 32-year-old NBA superstar Earvin "Magic" Johnson revealed he had tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. "Life is going to go on for me, and I'm going to be a happy man," Johnson assured fans during a news conference. He immediately retired, only to return to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996. His disclosure, along with his work as an advocate for safe sex, helped shatter stigmas around HIV and AIDS. Calls to testing centers increased significantly in the days and weeks after Johnson's announcement. "That celebrity disclosure really helped people see there was a wider susceptibly to HIV," Gall Myrick said. "People were more likely to say, 'I need to think about my own risks.' It was very powerful." When it comes to heart and stroke health, President Dwight Eisenhower helped make heart attacks less frightening and mysterious. During a news conference in 1955, millions of Americans learned from the president's doctors about his heart condition, his treatment, and concrete steps they could take to reduce their own heart attack risk. Other notable figures have shared their health experiences over the years. Soap opera legend Susan Lucci , who was diagnosed with heart disease in 2018, has advocated for women's heart health. Basketball great Kareem Abdul Jabbar talks about his irregular heartbeat, known as atrial fibrillation, and advocates for regular health screenings. Lawyer, author and television personality Star Jones continues to speak about heart disease risk after having lifesaving heart surgery in 2010. Longtime TV and radio personality Dick Clark brought stroke and aphasia into the national spotlight when he returned to hosting "New Year's Rockin' Eve" in Times Square just a year after his 2004 stroke and continued until his death in 2012. And actor and comedian Jamie Foxx recently revealed he had a stroke last year. "Celebrity disclosures represent teachable moments," said Dr. Seth M. Noar, director of the Communicating for Health Impact Lab at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. "Searches for different health conditions often spike in the wake of these types of announcements. They cause people to think about these health issues, learn more about them, and in some cases change their behaviors." Celebrities have also highlighted the importance of CPR and the use of an automated external defibrillator, or AED, to restore a person's heartbeat if they experience cardiac arrest. Interest in CPR and AEDs spiked in 2023 after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during an NFL game broadcast on national TV. Views of the American Heart Association's hands-only CPR pages jumped more than 600% in the days following Hamlin's cardiac arrest. Three months later, around 3 million people had watched the AHA's CPR video. Family members of celebrities who have died from a heart issue have also spread awareness. After actor John Ritter died of an undiagnosed aortic dissection in 2003, his wife, actor Amy Yasbeck, started the Ritter Foundation to raise awareness about the condition and help others avoid a misdiagnosis. A literature review published in Systematic Reviews in 2017 found that people are conditioned to react positively to celebrity advice. Research also has found that people often follow advice from celebrities who match how they perceive – or how they want to perceive – themselves. The most effective celebrity disclosures are frequently the ones that tell a compelling story and include clear steps people can take to apply lessons the celebrity learned to their own health situation, Gall Myrick said. "People are more likely to take action when they feel confident and capable." Research has shown that celebrity disclosures often impact calls to hotlines and page views on health-related websites, and they can spark behavioral and even policy changes. Anecdotally, Gall Myrick said, people ask their doctor more questions about health conditions and request medical screenings. Celebrities can have a big impact because people tend to have parasocial relationships with them, Gall Myrick said. These are one-sided relationships in which a person feels an emotional connection with another person, often a celebrity. People may feel as if they know the basketball player they've watched on the court for years, or the Hollywood actor they've followed, she said. They want to comfort them after a health disclosure. Social media has only increased this feeling of familiarity, as celebrities regularly share mundane – but fascinating – details of their daily lives, like what they eat for breakfast, their favorite socks, or the meditation they do before bed. "We spend a lifetime being exposed to celebrities through the media, and over time, you get to know these public figures," Gall Myrick said. "Some feel like friendships." A study published in the journal Science Communication in 2020 compared reactions to actor Tom Hanks, who had COVID-19 early in the pandemic, and an average person with COVID-19. Researchers found that participants identified more with Hanks when it came to estimating their own susceptibility to COVID-19. The participants also felt more emotional about the virus that causes COVID-19 when thinking about it in relation to Hanks versus an average person. When a celebrity reveals a health condition, it's a surprise that may feel personal, especially if they are well-liked and the health issue is dramatic and sudden. "We feel like we know them, and the emotional response is what can then push people out of their routine," Gall Myrick said. Noar said a celebrity health story is often a more interesting and powerful way to learn about a health condition than just the facts, which can feel overwhelming. People are drawn to the slew of media coverage that typically follows a celebrity disclosure, he said. "Some of these high-visibility public figures' stories are now woven into some of these illnesses," Noar said. For example, Angelina Jolie is often linked to the BRCA1 gene mutation after the actor shared she had a preventive double mastectomy because of her elevated breast cancer risk and had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed because of her increased risk for ovarian cancer. "It's a narrative, a story that humanizes the condition in a way that very informational communication really doesn't," Noar said. "People remember it, and it can potentially be a touch point." After a disclosure, patients may bring up a celebrity's story during a doctor's appointment and connect it to their own care. Today's multiplatform digital culture only amplifies celebrity messages. "You're seeing everyday people react to these events, and that can have a ripple effect too," Gall Myrick said. "We know from research that seeing messages more than once can be impactful. Often it's not just one billboard or one commercial that impacts behavior; it's the drip drip drip over time." Still, there's a cautionary tale to be told around the impact of celebrity health news, especially if the celebrity has died. An unclear cause of death may lead to speculation. Gall Myrick said that guesswork could potentially end up hurting rather than helping if patients were to act on misinformation or a lack of information. "Maybe the death was atypical or it needs more context," she said. "That's where advocacy groups and public health organizations come in. They need to be prepared for announcements or disclosures about celebrity deaths, and to fill in some of those gaps." American Heart Association News covers heart and brain health.

Carroll and Vokietaitis scored seven points apiece to pace the Owls, who committed 11 turnovers that translated to seven points for Oklahoma State before halftime. --Field Level Media

The 49ers will do everything they can to finish the 2024 season with a 9-8 record but coach Kyle Shanahan isn’t thinking beyond that. A 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams all but ended their playoff aspirations with games at Miami, at home against Detroit and the regular-season finale in Arizona still to play. For a team that had played in the NFC Championship Game four out of the last five years and played in two Super Bowls, it’s a huge letdown. “I’ll talk about 2025 when we get to 2025,” Shanahan said in a conference call with local media Friday. “But you have hope every year. You put together the best team possible, you go and practice and you go out there and you battle. So that’s what we do every single offseason. “You figure out how to get the best players possible through free agency and the Draft, you try to keep your best players as possible, you go to work and you show up for Week One.” The 49ers are coming to grips with being an also-ran. The reasons for the 49ers’ slide go much further than making a bad choice last offseason to bring in linebacker De’Vondre Campbell as a temporary replacement for Dre Greenlaw, who was rehabbing a torn Achilles. The 49ers are working through the process of removing Campbell from the roster either through suspension or release after he declined to play against the Rams. One thing Shanahan has no intention of doing is questioning his team’s want-to and preparation, even of those qualities have resulted in something foreign for the 49ers in terms of playing clean football. “I thought our guys showed up ready to play,” Shanahan said. “I thought we battled and a few key plays were the difference in the game. But I thought our guys sold out and I expect them to sell out the next three games.” While the 49ers’ commitment wasn’t an issue other than Campbell, their execution and playmaking was a huge problem on offense. The 49ers gained 191 yards of total offense, the second-lowest number since Shanahan arrived in 2017 and took control of the offense. It’s only the second time the 49ers failed to gain 200 yards of offense in 141 games with Shanahan as head coach. The only time they gained fewer yards was a 31-7 loss to Philadelphia in the NFC Championship game played for more than three quarters without a viable quarterback since Brock Purdy (elbow) and Josh Johnson (concussion) were injured and Purdy had to re-enter the game unable to pass. The 49ers were so anemic against the Rams they failed to reach the red zone just one week after going 5-for-6 in a 38-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Asked if he could ever remember that happening as a play-caller, Shanahan said, “I’m not sure. I’ve been doing this a long time.” On the 49ers’ second series, Purdy found tight end George Kittle for a 33-yard gain — the play set up a 53-yard field goal by Jake Moody for a 3-0 lead — and the 49ers didn’t have a snap that gained more than 18 yards the rest of the night. They averaged 3.6 yards per snap and were 3-for-12 on third-down conversions. “I know that we were averaging like three yards a play at halftime. I don’t know what it was after that,” Kittle said. “They came out with some funky looks once in a while, but I just thought as skill positions, whether it was tight end, quarterback, running back, fullback, wide receiver, I just thought we could have stepped up our game and played better and we didn’t. ” Purdy insisted there were plays there for the taking — rain or no rain. “The weather was the weather in the first half, but even with that, I think there were still some ops for us to convert on third down and move the chains,” Purdy said. “In the second half there were drives where we could’ve stayed on the field. I had to be better for this team and didn’t play my best.” GREENLAW’S RETURN Linebacker Dre Greenlaw’s return was an inspiration to Shanahan and his teammates, with the 49ers’ linebacker registering eight first half tackles and ranging sideline to sideline as if he’d never had a ruptured Achilles. He departed when his leg tightened up, with Monday bringing the news that it had more to do with fatigue than another injury. With the 49ers getting a mini-bye this weekend before visiting Miami in Week 16, Greenlaw could be good to go for another start. “He’s got some soreness. He’s day to day,” Shanahan said. It reminded Shanahan of Greenlaw in Year 3, when he had a groin injury in the opener that needed surgery, and other than 13 snaps in Week 11 against Minnesota, didn’t play again until the regular-season finale against the Rams when he had 12 tackles. “We needed to win that to go to the playoffs,” Shanahan said. “And that game, I thought he had one of the best games I’ve ever seen from linebacker play and it was looking a lot like that last night too. Exactly the same, it was just only a half a football, but it was amazing.” THE INJURY FRONT — Left tackle Trent Williams continues to heal slowly from an ankle injury but Shanahan hopes to get him in the lineup before the season is over. “He’s trying to get back, but it’s just been a frustrating injury for him,” Shanahan said. ” t hasn’t healed like he or we would like. Having these 10 more days before our next game, hopefully that gives a better chance” — Defensive end Nick Bosa emerged from the Rams game without any setbacks to his oblique/hip injuries. “It was awesome to get Nick back and he really helped us,” Shanahan said. “It was a good sign that they didn’t tell me about anything today.” — Linebacker Dee Winters is day to day with a neck injury. SNAP JUDGEMENTS 64: Linebacker Fred Warner, cornerback Deommodore Lenoir and cornerback Renardo Green each played all but one snap on defense. 60: One game after playing a career low 15 snaps, safety Ji’Ayir Brown played 60 snaps with Malik Mustapha missing the game with a chest injury. Brown came out of the game with a groin injury and is day to day. 54: Guards Aaron Banks and Dominick Puni, tackles Jaylon Moore and Colton McKivitz, center Jake Brendel and Purdy played every offensive snap. 51: Starting split end Jauan Jennings was targeted nine times from Purdy while missing just three snaps but had just two receptions for 31 yards. 41: The 75.9 percent figure of snap counts was the most for Isaac Guerendo in his rookie season after coming in questionable with a foot sprain. Backup Patrick Taylor Jr. played just three snaps. 30: Greenlaw made a remarkable return in his first game back from rupturing an Achilles tendon last Feb. 11. 26: Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, playing with a sore knee, played 26 snaps mostly after Greenlaw’s departure with Campbell refusing to enter the game. 10: Tashaun Gipson got his first work on defense since rejoining the 49ers on Nov. 7. 5: Edge rusher Ronald Beal Jr., who has had trouble getting traction as a pass rusher all season, played sparingly with Nick Bosa (47), Leonard Floyd (39) and Yetur Gross-Matos (31) getting the bulk of the work.

Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO ignites online fury over health insurance industry

Frontline, Golden Ocean, Hafnia set to report earnings WednesdayATLANTA , Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Atomic-6 was recently awarded a Tactical Funding Increase (TACFI) to further develop its revolutionary Space ArmorTM shielding tiles and complete testing qualification for first flight. Designed to minimize shielding mass, stowage space, post-impact ejecta, and mission risk, Space ArmorTM provides vital protection for space assets against space debris and kinetic energy weapons while offering optional radio frequency permeable capabilities. This innovative technology is essential for maintaining the United States' competitive edge in space operations, a concern that has been increasingly emphasized by Pentagon officials and lawmakers. In NASA's recent study on the economic advantages of safeguarding satellites from orbital debris, the findings suggest potential net benefits exceeding $50 billion over the next 30 years. To meet this demand, Space ArmorTM offers two levels of protection: Lite and Max. "Space ArmorTM Lite" is designed to withstand impacts from debris up to 3mm, which accounts for over 90% of debris in low earth orbit, while "Space ArmorTM Max" is designed to withstand impacts from debris up to 12.5mm. This productized approach allows for tailored protection strategies, ensuring both cost-effectiveness and critical defense against varying sizes of debris. The TACFI award, along with matching funds from outside investors, paves the way for Atomic-6 to take Space ArmorTM from prototype to full product line with added variations and capabilities to meet market and customer demand. Atomic-6 is committed to the safety, sustainability, performance and affordability of future space endeavors. Space ArmorTM is the latest of several Atomic-6 innovations to reinforce their mission and provide the US military, Allies, and commercial space operators with the strategic edge necessary to reduce mission risk and protect space assets.

Be the first to knowCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA's two stuck astronauts just got their space mission extended again. That means they won't be back on Earth until spring — 10 months after rocketing into orbit on Boeing's Starliner capsule. NASA announced the latest delay in Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams' homecoming Tuesday. The two test pilots planned to be away just a week or so when they blasted off June 5 on Boeing's first astronaut flight to the International Space Station. Their mission grew from eight days to eight months after NASA decided to send the company's problem-plagued Starliner capsule back empty in September. FILE - This image made from a NASA live stream shows NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore during a press conference from the International Space Station on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024. (NASA via AP, File) Now the pair won't return until the end of March or even April because of a delay in launching their replacements, according to NASA. A fresh crew needs to launch before Wilmore and Williams can return and the next mission was bumped more than a month, according to the space agency. NASA's next crew of four was supposed to launch in February, followed by Wilmore and Williams' return home by the end of that month alongside two other astronauts. But SpaceX needs more time to prepare the new capsule for liftoff. That launch is now scheduled for no earlier than late March. NASA said it considered using a different SpaceX capsule to fly up the replacement crew in order to keep the flights on schedule. However, it decided the best option was to wait for the new capsule to transport the next crew. NASA prefers to have overlapping crews at the space station for a smoother transition, according to officials. Most space station missions last six months, with a few reaching a full year.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Government does not want to get blindsided by the multiple effects of artificial intelligence, so tech leaders have come together to form the GovAI Coalition, to shape policies and practices to use — and corral — this quickly emerging development. “We have to hold hands as we are crossing this river, because, we don’t know what to expect,” , San José chief information officer and head of the Department of Information Technology, told an audience at the GovAI Coalition Summit* Thursday. The gathering in San José convened hundreds of technologists from the public and private sectors to discuss the opportunities, challenges and concerns surrounding AI. The GovAI Coalition coalesced in November 2023 with 50 people on a Zoom call. Today, it includes some 1,700 professionals from about 550 government organizations. “There are risks that come along with this [AI]. And we have to think about those risks as we’re looking to deploy,” Dan Clarke, president of AI governance platform Truyo, said during a panel with Bianca Lochner, Scottsdale, Ariz., CIO, about some of the policies surrounding the use of AI in her city. Scottsdale has an AI review committee to examine use cases, risks and concerns related to new technologies. “We need to make sure that we have a robust governing structure in place to ensure ethical and transparent use of those innovations,” Lochner said during the panel, adding there needs to be a clear framework for risk management, “to ensure that we minimize the risk to the public, but also maintaining public trust.” These are the kinds of policy conversations happening in the GovAI Coalition, to ensure AI tools are not rolled out haphazardly or withheld because government leaders lack the confidence good public policy brings. “If any of us get a black eye for implementing the wrong AI, then all of us will have a black eye. One system that goes wrong can compromise our credibility nationwide,” said Tawfik, who characterized AI as a bit of déjà vu. “I’ve seen this movie before,” he remarked, recalling areas of interest like cybersecurity or social media, waves that started small and grew into a tsunami of worry — and opportunity — for government technology departments. “If we knew in 2000 what we know today, and we did just 1 percent, we would have been ahead,” Tawfik said of cybersecurity. “Even in San José, we were not ready,” he said of AI. “We were shocked. We anticipated ChatGPT, or generative AI, to be as advanced — eventually. We did not expect it to happen so fast. And definitely, we did not expect it to be open to the public, for everyone to access, so fast. That caught us by surprise.” “And this is really one of the things we are trying to do with the Coalition,” he said. “How do we learn from our mistakes — our past — so that we can be better positioned with AI in 2050.” Government TechnologyNoneThe National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, says effective arms control requires strong legal framework, enduring partnerships, continuous training, resource allocation and shared sense of responsibility. Ribadu said this at a workshop on “Review of the Firearms Act of 1959”, organised by the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCCSALW), on Tuesday in Abuja. He was represented by the Director, Law Enforcement and Liaison, Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Rex Dundu, an Assistant Inspector-General of Police. The NSA commended the centre for dedication toward curbing the menace of illicit arms, saying it aligned with the collective vision of securing the nation. He said “as we re-examine a piece of legislation enacted over half a century ago, we must ensure that our legal frameworks remain not just relevant, but robust enough to confront the rapidly changing dynamics of illicit arms law, organised crime, terrorism and other transnational threats. “The National Firearms Act of 1959 served its purpose in an era with different security challenges but today, the situation is far more complex. “Non-state actors, armed groups and criminal syndicates have adopted their methods, leveraging rural scholars, technological advancement and sophisticated smuggling routes to perpetrate instability. “In turn, the dreaded availability of illicit arms exacerbates conflicts, fuel violent extremism, undermine governance and impedes our nation’s goals.” Ribadu said the fireams act must be critically reviewed to strengthen the legal architecture, ensuring it effectively deters offenders, streamlines enforcement and aligns with international standards. According to him, reviewing the Firearms Act will place the country in better position to adopt measures that will not only close existing loopholes, but also anticipate future challenges. “Such measures may include stricter licencing procedures, comprehensive databases for tracing arms, harsher penalties for offenders and enhanced cross-border cooperation. “We must ensure that our revised legislation integrates seamlessly with relevant international instruments such as the ECOWAS Convention on Small Arms and Light Weapons, the Arms Trade Treaty and the UN Programme of Action on Arms and Light Weapons, reinforcing Nigeria’s long-standing commitment to regional and global security. “However, as we all know, this is a task that no single agency or institution can accomplish alone. We must work hand-in-hand, drawing on the strength of each sector to foster stability, protect our citizens and ensure the sanctity of human life,” he added.InitVerse Launches INIChain with the World's first TFHE-Based EVM
