YSL Woody was a very prominent figure as it pertained to the YSL RICO Trial. He was one of the main witnesses who took to the stand and for the most part, he gave prosecutors the rope a dope. Although some are still mad that he testified at all, others understand that he had a huge part in the fact that Young Thug was eventually able to escape with a deal. Moreover, people like Yak Gotti were eventually acquitted on various charges. Unfortunately for Gotti, he has yet to be released from the Fulton County Jai. Although he was supposed to be released by now, it just hasn't happened yet. Why? Well, it all has to do with an outstanding warrant. There has been very little leeway given to Gotti, and some are seeing this as a massive injustice that must be resolved sooner rather than later. In fact, it seems as though this is exactly how YSL Woody feels, because he was on the streets today, protesting on the artist's behalf. Read More: YSL Woody Says He Has "No Fear" Now That Young Thug Is Free As you can see, YSL Woody was outside holding a "Free Yak Gotti" sign. Meanwhile, another sign said "Free Yak Gotti from the Fulton County Trap House/Jail." There is no telling whether or not this is a strategy that is actually going to work or not. What we do know, however, is that YSL Woody is someone who has become a bit of a social media star as of late, and he seems prepared to do anything to maintain his fame. Whether or not his advocacy for Gotti is genuine, remains to be seen. Either way, hopefully Yak Gotti is able to find a solution to the current roadblocks he is facing. The entire YSL case has been a fiasco from start to finish, and it seems like nothing ever changes. Only time will tell whether or not he gets out soon.

PSV score three goals in ten minutes to complete an astounding comeback against ShakhtarThe Ottawa Senators are in a difficult position . They're trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017, but haven't been able to separate themselves from the pack in a below-average Eastern Conference. They're currently 9-11-1 on the season, and sit four points out of a playoff spot. Ottawa's path to the postseason has only become more difficult after losing their top-pairing right defenseman, Artem Zub. Zub was injured on November 23rd in a game against the Vancouver Canucks, and it has since been reported that he has a fracture in his foot, and has been placed on long-term injured reserve . The Senators are reportedly " aggressive in their pursuit of another defenseman ." One team that should look to take advantage of Ottawa's desperation is the New York Rangers, who are apparently once again trying to trade their captain Jacob Trouba . Trouba would be very, very difficult to move. On top of his $8 million contract that lasts until the end of the 2025-26 season, he also has a 15 Team No Trade List. Trouba could waive this, of course, but after he blocked a potential trade this summer , that seems very unlikely. Let’s pretend, for the sake of this article, that Ottawa isn’t listed on Trouba’s No Trade List. What could the Rangers expect to get in return for Trouba? Honestly, probably not very much. Yes, he's a 6'3" hard-hitting right shot defenseman. But he's not the world's greatest defensive defenseman, and his offensive production is no longer anything to write home about. And, again, he makes $8 million for another season after this one. New York would likely have to retain some salary, as well as taking on one of Ottawa's bad contracts– say, David Perron, or maybe Nick Jensen– for this to work within the salary cap. So, should the New York Rangers try to trade Jacob Trouba and his $8 million contract? In short... probably not. It won't be easy, and there are only three teams– the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Calgary Flames, and the Anaheim Ducks– who would be able to take on his contract without salary retention or some form of bad contract going back the other way. It might be worth it, but it also might not be. Sometimes, the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Justin Jefferson might be weary of all the safeties shadowing his every route, determined not to let the Minnesota Vikings go deep, but he's hardly angry. The double and triple coverage he continually faces, after all, is a sign of immense respect for his game-breaking ability. The strategy also simply makes sense. “I would do the same," Jefferson said. "It’s either let everybody else go off or let Justin go off. I’m going to let everybody else go off. That would be my game plan.” When the Vikings visit Chicago on Sunday, they're expecting the usual heavy dose of split-safety coverage designed to put a lid on the passing attack and force them to operate primarily underneath. “We see that every week: Teams just have different tendencies on film, and then when we go out on the field they play us totally different,” Jefferson said, later adding: “I don’t really feel like anyone else is getting played how I’m getting played.” Jefferson nonetheless is second in the NFL in receiving yards (912) behind Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase, his former college teammate at LSU. Last week, Jefferson set yet another all-time record by passing Torry Holt for the most receiving yards over the first five seasons of a career. Holt logged 80 regular-season games and accumulated 6,784 yards for St. Louis. Jefferson has 6,811 yards — in just 70 games. “I want to go up against those single coverages. I want to go have my opportunities to catch a deep pass downfield, just one-on-one coverage, like a lot of these other receivers get," Jefferson said. "It’s definitely difficult going up against an extra person or an extra two people, but it is what it is and the concepts that we’re drawing up and the ways that we’re trying to get me open, it definitely helps.” With fellow tight end Josh Oliver ruled out of the game on Sunday because of a sprained ankle, T.J. Hockenson is certain to have his heaviest workload since returning from knee surgery four weeks ago. He's also certain that Jefferson will continue to see persistent double-teams. “It puts it on us to make some plays and do some things to get them out of that,” Hockenson said. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has been forced to dig deeper into the vault of play designs and game plans to help keep quarterback Sam Darnold and the offense on track. O'Connell said after Minnesota's 12-7 win at Jacksonville, when Darnold threw three interceptions to precipitate a safer strategy down the stretch, that he superseded his play-calling role with the wisdom of a head coach to help win that game. "Not just the egomaniac of wanting to score points and constantly show everybody how smart we are. There was a mode that I think you have to go into sometimes to ensure a victory,” O'Connell said on his weekly show on KFAN radio. Taking what the defense gives is usually the shrewdest strategy. “You’ve got to really implement some new things and some things that maybe you didn’t come across during your early coaching years whether as a coordinator or position coach or even when you’re responsible for a small area of the game plan as a younger coach," O'Connell said. "You really have to kind of look outside the lens of always what you see on tape.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Brown wins 77-54 against Stony BrookConor Brown of Procon works at the lunch counter of the 1942 Paterson Motor Company Silk City Diner, a centerpiece of the Arts Alley project, after it was set onto its foundation on Thursday in between the Bank of New Hampshire Stage and the Concord Food Co-op. The diner has been on stilts since it was trucked into downtown Concord in two pieces on Tuesday night. Arts Alley will be a mix of dining, entertainment, and event venues. In the black of night while enduring freezing temperatures, a Bow moving company delivered an 80-year-old diner to its new home in downtown Concord as a centerpiece of the city’s Art Alley project. Tuesday night's trek was the last move in what began as a dream for Concord developer and former Republican State Committee Chairman Steve Duprey of Concord, who bought the 1942 Silk City Diner years ago from philanthropist Michael Dingman. Dingman had a memorable collection of historic buildings, vehicles and equipment. “This diner is more than just a building; it’s a piece of American history,” Duprey said. “Seeing it restored and placed in the heart of Concord despite the rain and cold is a testament to the dedication of the whole team.” It was hauled from Kingston to Concord. After being placed for a time off Route 106, it became permanently stored at his property at the former Lincoln Financial property off Rumford Street. The state of New Hampshire bought half of that property from Duprey and converted it into office space for the Department of Justice and other state agencies. Starting at 10 p.m, Geddes Building Movers trucked the diner in two pieces and dropped it on the new site next to the Concord Coop and Bank of New Hampshire Stage. Duprey earlier oversaw and financed the renovation of the performing arts center. By 2 a.m. Wednesday, it was fully assembled. The 1942 Paterson Motor Company Silk City Diner, a centerpiece of the Arts Alley project, was set onto its foundation on Thursday in between the Bank of New Hampshire Stage and the Concord Food Co-op. The diner has been on stilts since it was trucked into downtown Concord in two pieces on Tuesday night. Arts Alley will be a mix of dining, entertainment, and event venues. “These guys are consummate pros — precision, accuracy, tightly organized and safe, like watching a ballet troupe,” Duprey said on Facebook, where he posted a YouTube video of the delivery. “A big thanks also to the team at PROCON, the Concord police department, and the city of Concord and all of the involved departments for their coordination and cooperation.” Silk City Diners were a division of the Paterson Wagon Company, later known at Paterson Vehicle Company, established by Everett Abbott Cooper and based in Paterson, New Jersey, which produced about 1,500 diners from 1926 until 1966. Each one was tagged with the year and order in which it was built. Many have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. According to its listing on Sotheby’s, the now-Concord diner was thought to have opened first in Smyrna, Delaware, and was then moved to Pittsgrove, New Jersey, where it became the Pole Tavern Diner. After a long, successful run, it closed in 1989. Dingman acquired and moved it to Hampton in 2003 and installed a rear addition and a fully equipped kitchen that could seat up to 30. “While the diner is quite large in and of itself, with cooking surfaces and even an ice cream station and restroom, the adjoining kitchen, with its industrial-sized Sub-Zero refrigerators, additional prep surfaces, and much more, allow the owner to host not only a diner party, but easily a much, much larger event with potential for outdoor seating as well,” Sotheby’s listing said. The auction firm reported it was sold for $336,000. A first dollar bill and a Canadian counterpart are fused into the stainless-steel hood at the diner's lunch counter. The diner also has a comprehensive photographic history titled, “From U.S. 40 to the Back 40: The story of Smoky Wentzell’s Pole Tavern Diner.” Duprey said the diner will be a special meeting and event space at Arts Alley that will have dining and entertainment spaces that include a new restaurant adjacent to the diner scheduled to open next summer. The diner at 24 South Main St. won’t be visible from street front once the restaurant project is completed and will serve in a courtyard that connects the projects, Duprey said. Many prominent state and local political leaders praised Duprey’s determination on social media, including Mayor Byron Champlin, Councilor-at-Large Amanda Grady Sexton, lobbyists Mike Dennehy and Mike Vlacich, retired Attorney General/lobbyist Tom Rath, Executive Councilor Joe Kenney, Job Creators Network Director David Tille, and former Verizon executive Mike Hickey. On Facebook, Robert Flesichman wrote, “I have a friend who used to work for Dingman and has been to the diner. Once it is ready, I'm bringing him to check it out!! klandrigan@unionleader.com

Washington, Dec 13 (PTI) US President Joe Biden has issued clemency to nearly 1500 people, including four Indian-Americans. These four Indian-Americans are Meera Sachdeva, Babubhai Patel, Krishna Mote and Vikram Dutta.

"America was built on the promise of possibility and second chances. As President, I have the great privilege of extending mercy to people who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, restoring opportunity for Americans to participate in daily life and contribute to their communities, and taking steps to remove sentencing disparities for non-violent offenders, especially those convicted of drug offenses," Biden said in a statement on Thursday. "That is why, today, I am pardoning 39 people who have shown successful rehabilitation and have shown commitment to making their communities stronger and safer. I am also commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 people who are serving long prison sentences – many of whom would receive lower sentences if charged under today's laws, policies, and practices,” he said.

In December 2012, Dr Meera Sachdeva was sentenced to 20 years in prison and ordered to repay nearly USD8.2 million for fraud at a former Mississippi cancer centre she ran. She is now 63. Babubhai Patel was sentenced to 17 years on 26 convictions for a healthcare fraud conspiracy, a drug conspiracy, and related fraud and drug violations in 2013. Also in 2013, Krishna Mote, 54, was sentenced to serve life in prison after he was convicted of conspiracy to distribute more than 280 grams of crack cocaine and more than 500 grams of cocaine, and distribution of crack cocaine as an aider and abettor. Vikram Dutta, 63, was in January 2012 sentenced in a Manhattan federal court to 235 months in prison after he was found guilty of conspiracy charges stemming from his use of his perfume distribution business to launder millions of dollars for a Mexican narcotics organisation.

As in past years, YouTube was the single most popular platform teenagers used — 90% said they watched videos on the site, down slightly from 95% in 2022. Nearly three-quarters said they visit YouTube every day. There was a slight downward trend in several popular apps teens used. For instance, 63% of teens said they used TikTok, down from 67% and Snapchat slipped to 55% from 59%. This small decline could be due to pandemic-era restrictions easing up and kids having more time to see friends in person, but it's not enough to be truly meaningful . X saw the biggest decline among teenage users. Only 17% of teenagers said they use X, down from 23% in 2022, the year Elon Musk bought the platform. Reddit held steady at 14%. About 6% of teenagers said they use Threads, Meta's answer to X that launched in 2023. The report comes as countries around the world are grappling with how to handle the effects of social media on young people's well-being. Australia recently passed a law banning kids under 16 from social networks, though it's unclear how it will be able to enforce the age limit — and whether it will come with unintended consequences such as isolating vulnerable kids from their peers. Meta's messaging service WhatsApp was a rare exception in that it saw the number of teenage users increase, to 23% from 17% in 2022. Pew also asked kids how often they use various online platforms. Small but significant numbers said they are on them “almost constantly.” For YouTube, 15% reported constant use, for TikTok, 16% and for Snapchat, 13%. As in previous surveys, girls were more likely to use TikTok almost constantly while boys gravitated to YouTube. There was no meaningful gender difference in the use of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. Roughly a quarter of Black and Hispanic teens said they visit TikTok almost constantly, compared with just 8% of white teenagers. The report was based on a survey of 1,391 U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 conducted from Sept. 18 to Oct. 10, 2024.

Sam Konstas is about to join two cult heroes, a one-Test wonder, Italy's national captain and a fellow Cranbrook alumni in cricket's quirkiest groups. And on Thursday, Konstas will add his own twist to the list of Australian Boxing Day debutants, when the 19-year-old becomes the nation's youngest ever male Test opener. Konstas will become Australian men's Text cricketer No.468 when he debuts against India at the MCG and the 14th to do so on Boxing Day. In a list as unique as it is diverse, Australia's Boxing Day debutants range from the nation's equal-most capped player in Steve Waugh to a one-Test quick in Matthew Nicholson. Current national selector Tony Dodemaide also features, as does the larger-than-life Greg Mathews. Scott Boland is the other cult hero after his spell of 6-7 in 2021, which doubled as the best debut at the MCG from a bowler since Brett Lee's stunning start in 1999. Italy captain Joe Burns also started his international career as a No.6 for Australia at the MCG in 2014, before later ending his Test innings there as an opener against India in 2020. Konstas will join Ed Cowan as one of the few Australian openers to debut in Test cricket's biggest annual match, along with Phil Jaques in 2005. "Debuting for Australia in general is a big occasion, then Boxing Day has a different feel about it," Jaques told AAP. "It's Christmas time, there are a lot of eyeballs on it. A lot of family's tradition is to watch it on Boxing Day, so it makes it that little bit more special. "It's just a pinch-yourself moment." Jaques had a similar lead-in time to Konstas in 2005, given close to a week to prepare after he saw Justin Langer go down injured. While Konstas is already viewed as a star of the future, Boxing Day debuts inevitably attract more spotlight than any others with a national focus on cricket. "That's a good thing," Jaques said. "No matter where you debut, it's always a big occasion. And everyone who debuted for Australia sees that game as a bit of a blur, it all happens really quick. "On Boxing Day there is no bigger expectation and everyone is rooting for you, so you knock it over when it is a bit of a blur anyway." Like Ed Cowan six years later, Jaques took strike for the first ball of Boxing Day after being asked to by Matthew Hayden. And as someone who has had eyes on Konstas for years as a former NSW coach, Jaques believes the 19-year-old would thrive on the chance to do likewise against Jasprit Bumrah. "It was actually one of the highlights being able to face that first over of a Test match," Jaques said. "The crowd is up and about and excited about what's coming. You get to the end of the over and take a breath. "Sam would lean into the whole week and opportunity. He has already spoken about wanting to take every ball as it comes and play fearlessly. "He is a young player coming in with zero baggage. He can go out and play his game and enjoy the week for what it is."Stock market today: Losses for Big Tech pull US indexes lower

Biden officials, Republicans point fingers over exhausted disaster loans programIn one particularly egregious example, a photo of an autistic women relieving herself in the forest was shared by local men on social media, prompting villagers to destroy nearby camera traps. Trishant Simlai, a researcher at the UK's Cambridge University, spent 14 months interviewing some 270 people who live near the Corbett Tiger Reserve in northern India. For women living in villages around the reserve, the forest has long been a space for "freedom and expression" away from the men in a "heavily conservative and patriarchal society," Simlai told AFP. The women sing, talk about taboo subjects such as sex, and sometimes drink and smoke while collecting firewood and grass from the forest. But the introduction of camera traps, drones and sound recorders as part of efforts to track and protect tigers and other wildlife has extended "the male gaze of the society into the forest," Simlai said. On multiple occasions, drones were deliberately flown over the heads of women, forcing them to drop their firewood and flee for cover, according to a study led by Simlai in the journal Environment and Planning.
