TORONTO (AP) — The Utah Hockey Club said players were forced to walk to their game against the Maple Leafs after their bus got stuck in Toronto traffic Sunday night. The team posted a video on social media of team members walking to Scotiabank Arena, with player Maveric Lamoureux saying the bus was “not moving at all.” Several city streets had been closed during the day for the annual Santa Claus parade. The Maple Leafs earned their fourth consecutive win by defeating Utah 3-2. The viral incident prompted Ontario Premier Doug Ford to call the congestion “embarrassing” and “unacceptable,” highlighting his government’s plan to address the city’s gridlock through bike lane legislation. It wasn’t the first time a Toronto visitor had to ditch their vehicle to make it to an event on time. In June, former One Direction band member Niall Horan had to walk through traffic to get to his concert at Scotiabank Arena. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhlAuthorities have pointed to fingerprints, shell casings, chronic back problems, and an “ill will toward corporate America” as they’ve been building a case against suspect Luigi Mangione in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They’re learning more about a possible “motive and mindset,” New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference. And top NYPD officials told CBS News New York Wednesday it may be partially related to an injury and Mangione’s anger at the health care industry. “We’re learning that he did possibly suffer an accident that caused him to visit the emergency room back on July 4, 2023,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told CBS News New York. Police said they found a two-and-a-half page handwritten document in Mangione’s backpack when he was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that also offers clues. “When you start using rhetoric like, ‘These parasites had it coming,’ you are referencing an anti-corporatist mentality that goes beyond an individual grievance toward a particular injury he may have suffered,” Rebecca Weiner, NYPD deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, told CBS News New York. Experts in criminology and violent radicalization who spoke with The Baltimore Sun also talked about “grievances.” Sometimes, instead of a personal grievance, a shooter can act on a “vicarious grievance,” said Timothy Clancy, a senior researcher at the University of Maryland with expertise in public mass killings spread by radicalization contagions. “It’s grievance on behalf of people you feel are like you,” he said. Pennsylvania defense lawyer Thomas Dickey on Tuesday warned against rushing to judgment in Mangione’s case — or any case. “He’s presumed innocent. Let’s not forget that,” Dickey said. At a news conference Tuesday, Dickey said Mangione is not guilty of the criminal charges he faces. Police on Wednesday said they matched Mangione’s fingerprints to a water bottle and a KIND bar wrapper found near the scene of the killing and that the gun found on him matches shell casings found at the crime scene that had the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” written on them. “First, we got the gun in question back from Pennsylvania. It’s now at the NYPD crime lab,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Wednesday. “We were able to match that gun to three shell casings that we found in Midtown at the scene of the homicide.” There’s much more to be learned, but evidence revealed in the case so far suggests the suspect may have been driven by ideological factors reaching far beyond any personal grievances, criminology experts told The Sun. Police said the handwritten document they obtained from Mangione shows him complaining that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that company profits continue to rise while “our life expectancy does not.” Experts drew comparisons between the Mangione case and that of “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski, who carried out a series of bombings starting in the late 1970s and criticized modern society and technology. In Mangione’s writings, he described Kaczynski as a “political revolutionary,” according to the Associated Press. Mangione appears to share similarities with Kaczynski as a “crusader against a corrupt industry,” said James Alan Fox, a professor of criminology, law and public policy at Northeastern University. “It’s not necessarily that this particular individual had any direct impact ... but this is the strike for the little guy against powerful corporates that take advantage of the poor and the sick,” he said. Police said Mangione called Thompson’s killing a “symbolic takedown” in his manifesto. Mangione has had severe back pain since childhood, according to the AP, which cited a spokesperson for the owner and founder of the Surfbreak “co-living” space in Hawaii, where Mangione used to live. Investigators now are looking into whether that pain led to any denied insurance claims, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto . Sometimes a personal grievance can get wrapped up with the suffering of others, Clancy said. “It’s through this pathological fixation on the grievance. As it becomes your identity, it becomes all-consuming,” he said. But Joseph Giacalone, adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, says he believes the motive was more “political” than personal. “I have back issues myself,” Giacalone said. “I went through lots of pain, and I never thought about killing anybody from the insurance company.” In some cases, murder suspects will “use the court as a propaganda bench for whatever their cause is,” Clancy said. “The style of their attack is not to get themselves killed in the outcome,” Clancy said. “They want to live and spread the propaganda even further.” He pointed to Mangione’s appearance outside the courthouse Tuesday, as a potential example of that. As officers ushered Mangione inside, he shouted to onlookers that something was “an insult to the intelligence of the American people,” according to the Associated Press. Though more may be learned, Giacalone points out there are a number of instances where motive was never discovered — such as the 2017 shooting at a Las Vegas music festival. “There have been 100 years worth of research and development to try to figure out why people commit crimes in theories,” he said, “and we still don’t know.” Have a news tip?

Tech Surge Propels Stocks Up! What Does The Fed Have Planned?Former US president Jimmy Carter has died aged 100. Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, taking over in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” World leaders have paid tribute to Mr Carter, including US President Joe Biden, who was one of the first politicians to endorse Mr Carter for president in 1976 and said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us. “He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe.” Irish President Michael D Higgins said Mr Carter was “a principled man who dedicated his life to seeking to advance the cause of peace across the world”. He added: “On behalf of the people of Ireland, may I express my sympathies to President Carter’s children and extended family, to President Joe Biden, to the people of the United States, and to his wide circle of colleagues and friends across the globe.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally, the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center managed to virtually eliminate Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.
Trudeau says he expects Montreal rioters to be 'pursued and punished'LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 29, 2024-- AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) mourns the death of United States President Jimmy Carter, a champion in the human rights movement. In February 2023, Carter, then 98, entered hospice care at his Georgia home. He died there earlier today at 100, the longest-lived president in U.S. history, having recently marked his centennial birthday October 1 st. Carter and his wife Rosalynn brought worldwide attention—as well as their own physical labor—to the need for safe, affordable housing through their eponymous Carter Work Project in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity. Since 1984, the Carters reportedly helped house more than 4,300 families in 14 countries around the world. First Lady Rosalynn Carter passed away in November 2023 at the age of 96 during President Carter’s tenure in home hospice. The Carters also worked tirelessly to improve global public health. Their not-for-profit, nongovernmental organization, The Carter Center, has focused on fighting six preventable diseases, including malaria. In March 2024, the Center announced its success in nearly eradicating Guinea worm disease with only 14 cases reported in 2023. “We mourn and remember former President Jimmy Carter today as a human rights champion for his tireless, lifelong work on civil rights, social justice, health care, affordable housing, and more—far beyond the reach and accomplishment of most men and often done with far more humility than many other public figures of his stature,” said Michael Weinstein , founder and president of AHF, which also operates the housing advocacy group, Housing Is A Human Right ( HHR ). “Jimmy Carter had a fundamental understanding that housing is a human right and that human rights must be a cornerstone of American domestic and foreign policy. We offer our condolences to the entire Carter family as well as our gratitude to Mr. Carter for his decency, vision, and tenacity in helping those less fortunate.” AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest global HIV and AIDS organization, provides medical care and/or services to more that 2 million individuals in 47 countries worldwide in the US, Africa, Latin America/Caribbean, the Asia/Pacific Region, and Eastern Europe.

Enhancing LED Lighting: What is a reflective LED light? 12-13-2024 10:54 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire Nowadays, LED lights [ https://www.cnblight.com/products/ ] have become the mainstream of lighting. There is an interesting question, why do LED lights in homes nowadays, whether they are desk lamps, pendant lamps, ceiling lamps, etc., often need to add a lamp shell? You should know that LED lights emit solid light, unlike traditional lamps such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, which require a lamp shell on the outside. There are many reasons that can be given, such as adjustment, aesthetics, protecting lighting fixtures, improving safety, and so on. And one of the most important points is to prevent glare. Because LED lights are point light sources, the light emitted by the chip is very strong. If you accidentally stare directly at them for a while, your eyes will feel uncomfortable (in fact, not only LED lights, but also high-power incandescent lights can't stand staring at them all the time). Add a milky white lamp case, the light will be much softer when it comes out, and watching for a while won't hurt your eyes. However, if you want to be more particular or in places where lighting is more demanding, simply adding a lamp casing may not be enough. For example, in the classroom, students sitting in the back row will inevitably see the lights in front of the classroom because they have to keep staring at the blackboard in front of them. In this situation, even if it is covered by a lamp shell, it will still be glaring and uncomfortable over time.Is there any way to make the lighting softer and provide maximum protection for students' eyes? Of course there is. For example, there is an advanced lighting technology called reflective luminescence that can effectively solve this problem. The so-called reflective luminescence, in simple terms, refers to "seeing light but not the lamp", which means that the light emitted by the light source is not directly irradiated, but is irradiated onto a special reflective surface and then reflected again. For example, the above picture shows a reflective LED light produced by Shanghai Sansi Optoelectronics Company, which has won the national 863 major scientific and technological achievements. There is a huge reflective cavity above the lamp, and the light emitted by the LED chips on both sides shines upwards onto the top of the reflective cavity, and then emits downwards through the diffuse reflection of the reflective cavity. In this way, the LED beads will not be exposed. At the same time, the light originally emitted from a point becomes emitted from a surface, and the point light source disperses into a surface light source, naturally making the light very soft. It should be noted that the material of the reflective cavity is very particular. On the one hand, the reflectivity should be high and there should not be too much light loss; On the other hand, mirror reflection should also be avoided to reduce the directionality of light. In fact, reflective lighting technology can not only greatly improve the softness of light, but also enhance the uniformity of light. In many cases, the uniformity of lighting is also a concern for people. For example, in a classroom with a large space, if ordinary LED lights are used for illumination, it is easy to notice that the lighting in the classroom is actually alternating between light and dark. The area close to the light is very bright, while the area far away from the light is very dark. If we switch to reflective LED lights, this problem can be effectively solved. As mentioned earlier, reflective LED lights are "surface light sources", and the brightness of each point is not very high but the emitting area is large. Coupled with appropriate dimming technology, the light in the entire classroom will become much more uniform. In fact, nowadays, not only in school classrooms, but also in many places similar to classrooms such as subway stations and large shopping malls, the uniformity of lighting is also solved through reflective lighting technology. If we pay a little attention while shopping, we may easily notice the presence of reflective LED lights.

Naughty: Washington trolls After committing five turnovers against Philadelphia on Sunday, Washington entered the fourth quarter down 13 points, only to score 22 points in the final frame, including a nine-yard touchdown pass to WR Jamison Crowder with six seconds left to win the game. Ordinarily, a 36-33 upset victory over the Eagles team would have landed the Commanders on the “Nice List” if not for Washington’s postgame social media activity . e-a-g-L-e-s pic.twitter.com/9P78c8bLSQ Nice: Sunday’s game Poor sportsmanship aside, Washington’s improbable win over Philadelphia was a game that Commanders fans will remember for years. It was the team’s third consecutive win and officially eliminated the rival Dallas Cowboys from playoff contention. Meanwhile, Washington all but assured a spot in the playoffs where they’re likely to face the Eagles once again, according to ESPN’s “Playoff Machine” feature . Naughty: Marshon Lattimore The Commanders traded third, fourth and sixth-round picks to get Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints, but a hamstring injury kept the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback on the sidelines, and Washington lost three of its next four games. Lattimore debuted against his old team in Week 15 and looked good against Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown on Sunday. However, he had two costly pass interference penalties in the third quarter before leaving the game with another hamstring injury. The team can release Lattimore in the offseason with no dead money on its salary cap but that’s highly unlikely for a team that gave up a league-worst 262.2 passing yards per game last season. Nice: The Hail Mary Trailing the Bears 15-12 with 25 seconds left in Week 8, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed a trio of short passes before sending a 52-yard prayer toward the end zone as time expired. JAYDEN DANIELS WITH A HAIL MARY TO BEAT THE BEARS AS TIME EXPIRES WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED?!?!?! (via @NFL ) pic.twitter.com/xuSQsWlODR While the ball didn’t quite reach the goal line, it bounced off the outstretched hands of Chicago cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and into the arms of Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown, giving Washington an 18-15 victory. Ironically, Daniels never saw the catch. “I just heard people screaming and our sideline rushing the field. That’s how I knew,” said Daniels . “That’s kind of like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not too many people get to experience stuff like that.” Naughty: Emmanuel Forbes The Commanders had high hopes for Forbes when they selected him 16th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, but less than two years later, in Week 13, Washington cut ties with the 23-year-old cornerback. Washington took Forbes one spot ahead of Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez, playing at a Pro Bowl level despite missing his rookie season with a shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Forbes had seven starts in 20 appearances as a Commander. Nice: The RFK site Over the weekend, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan bill allowing the federal government to lease more than 170 acres of land to the district at the site where RFK Stadium resides and where Commanders' ownership would like to build a new stadium. The NFL called the surprise vote "an important breakthrough" in a statement : "Washington, D.C., will now have a long-overdue seat at the table when it comes to the location of a new Commanders stadium." While nothing is guaranteed, the move dramatically increases the chances of the Commanders building a new stadium on the site.
Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope won’t be available to play against his former team tonight in Los Angeles and Orlando will feature a new starting lineup against the Lakers because of his absence. Caldwell-Pope was listed as out due to personal reasons on Orlando’s initial injury report when it was posted in the afternoon. Averaging 6.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.31 steals, Caldwell-Pope had started all 16 games. Coach Jamahl Mosley had used the same starting five — Jalen Suggs, Caldwell-Pope, Tristan da Silva, Franz Wagner and Goga Bitadze — in nine consecutive contests as he continued to adjust without regulars Paolo Banchero (torn right abdominal muscle) and Wendell Carter Jr. (left foot plantar fasciitis). Carter has made progress and was able to go through part of Orlando’s practice Tuesday in Los Angeles. Although he was ruled out against the Clippers, he entered Wednesday listed as questionable. He’s again considered questionable to play tonight against the Lakers after missing nine in a row. Banchero was candid with ESPN this week telling Marc J. Spears he could potentially be back by Christmas based on how he feels right now. Banchero — who still can’t run, stretch or shoot as he continues to recover to the abdominal injury suffered Oct. 30 at Chicago — made it clear he would be cautious before returning. How Magic have fared in 10 games without Paolo Banchero With Banchero out, it’s been da Silva who’s stepped into Orlando’s starting lineup. Reserve center Goga Bitadze has done the same again for Carter. As for Caldwell-Pope, Mosley could opt to start Anthony Black, a second-year guard who started 33 times last season. Black has made strides on the offensive end and offers quality defense thanks to his length. There’s also Caleb Houstan, who’s been a spot starter in the past, if Mosley wants to keep Black’s ball-handling ability with the second unit. Gary Harris is an option as well to start but the veteran guard has sat on the second night of Orlando’s last two back-to-backs. The Magic saw their six-game win streak end Wednesday night against the Clippers. Caldwell-Pope played in 292 games (190 starts) during four seasons with the Lakers from 2017-21 and helped Los Angeles win the NBA championship in 2019-20 in the Orlando bubble.

NoneOTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s comments likening Kamala Harris’s election loss to an attack on women’s rights and progress earned him criticism from the country’s premiers and from American billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday. Speaking on Tuesday night at an event hosted by the Equal Voice Foundation — an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics — Trudeau said there are regressive forces fighting against women’s progress. “It shouldn’t be that way. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress,” Trudeau said, adding he is a proud feminist and will always be an ally. “And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president. Everywhere, women’s rights and women’s progress are under attack. Overtly, and subtly.” In a post on X on Wednesday, Musk responded to Trudeau’s remarks, saying, “He’s such an insufferable tool. Won’t be in power for much longer.” The comments also didn’t sit well with the country’s premiers, with whom Trudeau and several cabinet ministers met late Wednesday to discuss Canada’s approach to negotiations with the U.S. Incoming president Donald Trump has threatened Canada with a 25 per cent tariff on its imports to the United States unless the country meets his demands to improve security at the border. The Liberal government has been urging the premiers and opposition leaders alike to present a united “Team Canada” front to the Americans. Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who chairs the Council of the Federation, said the premiers let Trudeau know his comments were “not helpful at all.” “Donald Trump was elected democratically,” Ford said. “If you like him or you don’t like him, that’s not our issue.” He added that he’s sure Trudeau “got the message loud and clear.” When asked about Ford’s criticism after the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said in French that Trudeau has always been a champion of women in politics. Earlier this week, Trump taunted Trudeau on social media, referring to the prime minister as the governor of what he called the “Great State of Canada.” The post was an apparent reference to a joke Trump cracked at a dinner with Trudeau at his Mar-a-Lago estate nearly two weeks ago. In response to Trudeau’s concerns that a 25 per cent tariff would deal a massive blow to Canada’s economy, the president-elect teased that Canada could join the U.S. as its 51st state. He later posted an AI-generated image on social media of himself standing atop a mountain with a Canadian flag flying, with the caption “Oh Canada.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 11, 2024. — With files from Liam Casey in Toronto
