wild casino phone number The Trump and Biden teams insist they're working hand in glove on foreign crisesRJ Thompson scored 23 points -- including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 56 seconds left -- as Charleston Southern shocked host Miami 83-79 on Saturday afternoon. Miami entered the game as a 23.5-point favorite. Charleston (2-7) won its first game of the season away from home after losing its previous six road or neutral-court contests. The Buccaneers also got 21 points from Thompson Camara and 20 points and 11 rebounds from Taje' Kelly. Camara match his previous career point total. Miami (3-4), playing at home for the first time in two weeks, lost its fourth straight game. Brandon Johnson led Miami with 23 points and freshman Austin Swartz scored a career-high 15. Swartz entered the game averaging just 2.3 points For the first time this season, Miami was without Nijel Pack, who has a lower-body injury. Pack leads the team in scoring (15.2) and assists (4.7). With Pack out, five-star freshman Jalil Bethea made his first start and had six points. The game featured quite a contrast in coaches. Miami's Jim Larranaga, 75, has won 743 games in 41-plus seasons. Charleston Southern's Saah Nimley, 31, is in his full first season as a head coach. He was named interim coach in November 2023. In the first half, Miami raced to a 17-10 lead. However, Charleston Southern posted an 11-0 run to grab a 21-17 advantage. The Hurricanes lost control late in the first half as Miami's Johnson hit a 3-pointer and was hit with a technical foul for taunting. Later in the first half, Larranaga was also hit with a technical. By the end of the half, the Buccaneers led 45-37. Camara led Charleston Southern with 16 first-half points on 6-for-7 shooting, including 4-of-5 on 3-pointers. Johnson scored 12 for Miami in the opening half, all on 3-pointers. In the second half, Charleston Southern stretched its lead to 13. Miami rallied as the clock wound down. With 38 seconds left, Miami called a timeout while trailing 81-79. With 15 seconds left, Swartz missed a 3-pointer and the Buccaneers got the rebound. Daylen Berry made two free throws with 11 seconds left to ice the game. Up next, Miami will host No. 19 Arkansas on Tuesday night as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. Charleston Southern will return home to face Tennessee-Martin on Tuesday night. --Field Level MediaSupport local news coverage and the people who report it by subscribing to The Daily News.

Michigan upsets Ohio State 13-10 for Wolverines' 4th straight win in the bitter rivalryPrince George gearing up to host BC Special OlympicsVice President Jagdeep Dhankhar warned against "some forces" in and outside the country which are "unable to digest India's progress" and looking to divide the country. He urged people to be together in "neutralizing every anti-national narrative." While speaking at an event in Rajasthan's Jaipur on Wednesday, VP Dhankhar mentioned, "There are some forces in the country and outside which are unable to digest India's progress. There is a well-planned effort going on to disintegrate the country, divide the country and insult its institutions. We must neutralize in togetherness every anti-national narrative." "One thing is very clear, it cannot be said that India is a nation with potential, that stage is behind us. India is on the rise, and as I said that rise is unstoppable," the VP continued. Earlier on Tuesday, INDIA bloc parties submitted a no-confidence motion at the Rajya Sabha Secretary General PC Mody's office, seeking the removal of the Chairperson of the Upper House, Vice President Dhankhar for allegedly conducting the proceedings of the Council of States in "extremely partisan manner." "All parties belonging to the INDIA group have had no option but to formally submit a no-confidence motion against the learned Hon'ble Chairman of the Rajya Sabha for the extremely partisan manner in which he has been conducting the proceedings of the Council of States. It has been a very painful decision for the INDIA parties to take, but in the interests of parliamentary democracy, they have had to take this step. The motion has just been submitted to the Secretary General of the Rajya Sabha," Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, who is Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, also accused Dhankhar of behaving like a "spokesperson of the government for his next promotion." He alleged that the "biggest disrupter" in Rajya Sabha is the Chairman himself. "He (RS chairman) does schooling like a headmaster... From the opposition side, whenever important issues are raised as per rules - the chairman doesn't allow to have a discussion in a planned manner. Time and again opposition leaders are stopped from speaking. His (RS Chairman) fidelity is towards the ruling party instead of the Constitution and constitutional tradition," Mr Kharge alleged.

A late goal from the Toronto Sceptres propelled the hosts to a 3-1 win over the Boston Fleet in the PWHL season opener. Hilary Knight took a late boarding call, and Toronto’s Hannah Miller capitalized on the power play with just 1:38 left in the third period to put Toronto up by a goal. Fleet goaltender Aerin Frankel headed to the bench for the empty net, and Emma Maltais scored the empty netter to finish off the Fleet.None

Manchester City’s crisis deepened as they surrendered a three-goal lead late in the game to draw 3-3 against Feyenoord in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s side avoided the indignity of a sixth successive defeat in all competitions and looked on course for a welcome victory thanks to a double from Erling Haaland – the first from the penalty spot – and a deflected effort from Ilkay Gundogan. Yet Guardiola was left with his head in hands as Feyenoord roared back in the last 15 minutes with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Sergio Gimenez and David Hancko, two of them after Josko Gvardiol errors. FULL-TIME | A point apiece. 🩵 3-3 ⚫️ | — Manchester City (@ManCity) Arsenal delivered the statement Champions League win Mikel Arteta had demanded as they swept aside Sporting Lisbon 5-1. Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials, and goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. Putting on a show at Sporting 🌟 — Arsenal (@Arsenal) Paris St Germain were left in serious of danger of failing to progress in the Champions League as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Kim Min-jae’s header late in the first half was enough to send PSG to a third defeat in the competition this season, leaving them six points off the automatic qualification places for the last 16 with three games to play. Luis Enrique’s side, who had Ousmane Dembele sent off, were deservedly beaten by Bayern who dominated chances and possession. 🔔 FULL TIME – Victory at home! +3 in the 👏❤️ | — FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid were 6-0 winners away to Sparta Prague, Julian Alvarez and Angel Correa each scoring twice whilst there were also goals from Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann. Barcelona ended tournament debutants Brest’s unbeaten start with a 3-0 victory courtesy of two goals from Robert Lewandowski – one a penalty – and Dani Olmo. Lewandowski’s first was his 100th Champions League goal, only the third man to reach the mark after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. A Castello Lukeba own goal saw Inter Milan go top of the standings with a narrow 1-0 win over RB Leipzig at San Siro, whilst Bayer Leverkusen were emphatic victors against Red Bull Salzburg, Florian Wirtz scoring twice to move Xabi Alonso’s side into the automatic qualification places. Atalanta continued their strong start, albeit whilst conceding a first goal in Europe this season in a 6-1 win away to Young Boys, whilst Tammy Abraham scored the decisive goal as AC Milan beat Slovan Bratislava 3-2.There you are, reaching on your tiptoes in the grocery store to grab the milk on the highest shelf marked with the latest date. It's worth it, you think, to get milk that will stay fresher longer. You don't finish the milk by that date, of course, so you dutifully pour the remainder down the drain the day after. But that "Sell by" label doesn't indicate when your milk will go bad — it's to help grocers rotate stock. Your milk was fine. Now you're back in the store, paying for more. With the exception of infant formula, date labels on packaged food are not federally regulated or required, leaving it up to manufacturers and the state to determine what labels are necessary. An old state law suggested putting dated labels on foods to help consumers know when their food has gone bad, instead of confusing, grocer-focused "Sell by" labels. A new California law requires them in an effort to reduce the food waste that Californians produce — 6 million tons of it every year, according to the state Department of Food and Agriculture. The goal of Assembly Bill 660, written by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks), is to bring uniformity and common sense to dated food labels for consumers. Doing so will require grocery retailers and manufacturers to make changes, said Daniel Conway, California Grocers Association vice president of government relations. Between developing new inventory systems, retraining employees and even figuring out which labels need to be adjusted, it's not a change that can happen overnight, Conway said. The law goes into effect on July 1, 2026, giving grocers about a year and a half. "Having to wonder whether our food is still good is an issue that we all have struggled with. By strengthening labeling standards, and thus reducing food waste, AB 660 will keep money in the pockets of consumers while helping the environment and the planet," Irwin said in a release after the bill was passed through committee. There are more than 50 different phrases in food packaging, which makes it hard for consumers to tell exactly what each label means. That's what the law hopes to remedy, according to Nina Sevilla, a sustainable food systems advocate at the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the bill's sponsors. Some labels are acronyms for longer phrases, like "PEB" for "Please enjoy by" — a nonsensical phrase that Erica Parker, a policy associate at bill sponsor Californians Against Waste, said she saw on a pack of tortillas once. Worse, those 50 phrases are not used consistently among manufacturers. An "Enjoy by" label might indicate the best date for quality on one product but could mean something else on a different product, Parker said. "The end goal of AB 660 is to create consistency in date labeling practices, thereby reducing consumer confusion and consequently, food waste. It's about creating a uniform system that allows consumers to make empowered, educated choices about the foods they purchase and consume," Parker said in an email. The new law bans food items from carrying "Sell by" labels, which can prompt people to throw out food that is still good. "Sell by" dates are typically used for grocers to ensure inventory is rotated properly, especially on dairy products, meats and other perishable items, and they don't necessarily indicate when your food might be spoiled. Instead, the law limits most labels to two options: a quality label, "Best if used by," and a safety label, "Use by." The label "Best if used by" specifies a date when the product might lose quality, but doesn't mean it isn't safe to eat. This is especially true for items that do not deteriorate on store shelves, such as bottled water and canned goods, which can be safe to consume for years past their labels if unopened and stored properly, said Teresa Murray, the consumer watchdog director of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. The organization works to identify and address issues of public interest in health, safety and well-being. Murray said the new law would send California's consumers in the right direction, adding that she hoped it would help educate consumers on what those labels actually mean. Anything that helps consumers stop throwing away edible food is a good thing, she said. Murray recommends the USDA-developed FoodKeeper app, which helps users understand food storage and get the best bang for their buck by avoiding food waste. It is available online or on Android and Apple devices as a mobile app. It might also help nonprofits like food banks accept more nonperishables, Murray said — some food banks might throw out or not accept canned goods if they are close to a labeled date without considering what that date actually means. Dates should be used as guidelines, Sevilla said. For most food products, she said, consumers should use their eyes and noses to check for odd coloration or odors before throwing them out. AB 660 calls for "Use by" safety labels for products that might spoil quickly as an alternative to the quality-oriented "Best if used by" label. A product that could be unsafe to consume after the labeled date should be packaged with a "Use by" date. California's new law is not as harsh as some in other states, such as Pennsylvania's milk labeling law, which requires the "Sell by" date to be no more than 17 days after the product is pasteurized. Food spoilage isn't as simple as picking a day, Murray said, but labels should be considered when checking if your groceries are still good or need to be tossed. The new law also allows grocery stores to use a "Packed on" label for prepared foods, as long as it also has a quality or safety label. The state law exempts some goods, such as infant formula, eggs, beer and wine, from requiring state labels. _________ ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit at latimes.com .

Malaria mortality returns to pre-COVID levels: WHO

Gisele Bundchen believes there's "no perfect roadmap to follow" in life. The 44-year-old model - who is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente - has taken to social media to share some words of wisdom with her followers. Gisele - who already has Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with her ex-husband Tom Brady - wrote on Instagram: "There’s no guide to life, no perfect roadmap to follow. But remember everything you are, is a choice! To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices that only you can commit to. Each day presents the opportunity to choose habits that nourish your body, uplift your spirit, and guide you toward the life you truly want to live. [prayer emoji] (sic)" Gisele - who was married to Tom between 2009 and 2022 - previously claimed that she wouldn't change anything about her life. The blonde beauty insisted that she feels "grateful for every lesson" she's learned. Gisele - who began dating Joaquim, a Jiu-Jitsu instructor, after her split from Tom - told ABC News: "I wouldn't change anything in my life. "I had incredible experiences. I learned so much. I have my children, who are the biggest blessings in my life, and now I get to create a new season - a new chapter in my life, and I get to learn new things. I get to walk my path in a different way. I'm grateful for all of it. I’m grateful for every lesson." Gisele's setbacks have actually helped her to find some clarity. She explained: "It made me realise what I want and what I don't want. "I'm very committed to living my truth more than ever. That’s where my heart is right now. I’m living my truth and I’m not apologising for it."

Longtime Democrat switches to the GOP because of a glaring reason FL lawmaker switches parties immediately following reelection as a Democrat Sign up for the latest with DailyMail.com's U.S. politics newsletter By SARAH EWALL-WICE, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM IN WASHINGTON, DC Published: 21:09, 10 December 2024 | Updated: 21:18, 10 December 2024 e-mail 10 View comments A Florida state lawmaker who ran and won reelection as a Democrat in her Tampa district announced she is ditching the party and will move forward as a Republican barely a month after Election Day. Representative Susan Valdes announced her party switch to the GOP in a statement posted on X on Monday where she said she would not waste her final two years in the Florida legislature 'being ignored.' Republicans in Florida control both chambers in the state legislature and hold the governor's office. Valdes' party switch came just over a month after she won reelection as a Democrat to represent Florida's State House District 64 as a Democrat. The final vote in the November election had her beating her Republican challenger by just under 5 points or less than 3,000. In her statement, Valdes said she was a Democrat 'partly out of habit' and partly because she believed Democrats were the party most concerned with working families. But then she argued no one has a monopoly on good ideas. 'I will not waste my final two years in the Florida Legislature being ignored in a caucus whose leadership expects me to ignore the needs of my community,' she stated. State Rep. Susan Valdes announced just over one month after winning reelection as a Democrat that she would be switching her party registration to Republican and joining the state's GOP House supermajority Valdes argued by joining the GOP caucus she will be able to work on the problems facing her community. 'I want to roll up my sleeves and work,' she said. 'I want to be part of solving problems for West Tampa. I'm tired of being the party of protesting when I got into politics to be part of the party of progress.' Valdes said she would continue to fight for the people of West Tampa, but she argued the 'best way to do that is to stand with Speaker Perez and join the Republican supermajority.' State Rep. Valdes full statement on switching from Democrat to Republican The Florida lawmaker first entered the state House after running unopposed as a Democrat in 2018. She then won reelection on the Democratic ticket in 2020, 2022 and 2024. But earlier this month she ran to chair the Hillsborough County Democratic Party and lost. Just days later she announced her party switch. Republicans celebrated Valdes' party change including the GOP House Speaker Daniel Perez who said in a post that he was 'thrilled' to welcome her to the GOP supermajority. Governor Ron DeSantis noted her party affiliation change gave the Republicans its biggest majority in the history of the state House. But others online slammed the move as deceitful, questioned why she waited until after the election and called for her to return donations. Florida State Rep. Valdes speaking in a post she shared on X Vanessa Lester, who won the race for Hillsborough County Democratic Party chair blasted the move in a statement. 'While it remains disturbingly unclear whether she was entertaining the switch to become a Republican even as she was running to lead the local Party, ultimately it is her constituents in District 64 who have the most reason to be upset and betrayed,' Lester said. 'They voted for a Democrat to fight for them and ended up with a political opportunist who abandoned them,' she continued. In the November election, Valdes received more than 31,500 votes to secure her victory. Florida state Rep. Valdes posing with her family outside the White House in a December 2023 post where she thanked President Biden for the 'unforgettable experience' and his leadership In August, she joined fellow Democrats in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention where she wore a shirt in support of Kamala Harris for president and posted photos from the United Center featuring prominent Democrats. She also retweeted a series of posts celebrating President Biden, touting her support of Harris and other Democrats and slammed President-elect Donald Trump leading up to Election Day. Her switch to the Republican party gives the Florida GOP 85 seats in the state House out of 120. While Valdes eked out a victory in her district as a Democrat, Trump won Hillsborough County as a whole and the state.

The footage, posted to the Christchurch Dash Cams Facebook page this week, has received hundreds of reactions and comments. The incident was captured by an anonymous driver's dashcam and titled "NOT a passing lane". It appears to have been shot on a West Coast road. The footage has attracted more than 150 comments so far, many of them divided over the manoeuvre. The campervan driver was criticised for not pulling over to allow others to pass, while one commenter said the driver made a “complete dick move”. "Definitely not a passing lane but there is a viable sign just beforehand saying ‘traffic behind you? let is pass’ (sic)," one person said. "The camper van should have definitely had pulled over to let both of you past. "This is a never-ending problem on the West Coast and probably everywhere else. My own opinion is that if tourists wish to drive on the roads they should be made to read the road code or be aware of common sense/courtesy of the roads. Too many close calls and just idiotic driving in general. Another person said: "People claiming it’s the vans fault for not using the “slow vehicle lane” are so off the mark with their opinion (sic). "That is a dangerous move by an arrogant impatient driver in the white car. It IS NOT a slow vehicle lane, as people claim. It is not marked as a slow vehicle lane, does not have standard signage or line marking to indicate it’s a slow vehicle lane, and is not of sufficient length to be treated as a slow vehicle lane. "It is simply standard widening associated with lookout area on the right hand side, widening to allow cars safely pull left while waiting for a gap to turn right, or to turn into when turning right out of the rest area to build up speed in case someone races up on them, etc. "It is NOT a slow vehicle bay, and van driver had no obligation to pull left so the person in the white car could over take. "Besides which, did people not see the “pedestrian” warning signage, indicating its clearly a place where people are frequently stopping and parking to access the rest area/look out, so for a someone to think he/she has the right to undertake a slower vehicle, is the most ridiculous display of driving I can imagine. "Having investigated hundreds of fatal crashes in my career, and having designed hundreds of intersection and road safety improvements, people blaming the van driver, and excusing the driver of the white car, is so infuriating, and so wrong, that Im not sure whether to laugh or cry."
