NEW YORK — Juan Soto put on a New York Mets jersey and cap for the first time Thursday after his record $765 million, 15-year contract was finalized and talked about what made the difference in his decision. “They showed me a lot of love. ... How they're going to make it comfortable for me,” he said. "That's one of the things I was looking for." Soto was introduced at Citi Field a day after his deal was finalized. Speaking in the Piazza 31 Club, he was flanked by Mets owner Steve Cohen, president of baseball operations David Stearns and his agent, Scott Boras. “They always talk about family. They always talk about stick(ing) together,” Soto said. “That's one of the things that opened my eyes.” Security men in gray suits wearing earpieces were off to the side. Soto walked in led by Boras, wearing a dark suit, black turtle neck shirt and gold chain with his No. 22. “I’m excited by the Mets future,” Cohen said. “I think this accelerates our goal of winning championships.” Soto chose the Mets' offer on Sunday, deciding to leave the Yankees after helping them reach the World Series in his only season in the Bronx. SAN FRANCISCO — Willy Adames wasted little time making one thing clear: He wants to play all 162 games for the San Francisco Giants. So when introduced as their new shortstop Thursday, Adames looked to his left and gently put a hand on manager Bob Melvin's right shoulder, smiled and said, “if he lets me.” Melvin might not need much convincing, thrilled to suddenly have stability at a position that lacked continuity this year in his first season as skipper. Adames didn't hesitate to also offer a thought to new boss Buster Posey: He plans to win a few championships with the Giants just like the catcher-turned-executive did here. Surrounded by his parents and other family and friends, Adames was formally introduced and welcomed at Oracle Park after signing a $182 million, seven-year contract — the first big, splashy move made by Posey since he became President of Baseball Operations in late September. “There’s no words to describe my feeling right now to be here in this beautiful city, I’m just so happy to be here,” Adames said. "... This is a dream come true for me. I’m thrilled to be here, I’m so excited. Hopefully we can win a few championships like you did, and that’s one of the main reasons I’m here.” PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic — The trial against Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, who has been charged with sexually abusing a minor, sexual and commercial exploitation against a minor, and human trafficking, was postponed on Thursday and scheduled to resume June 2, 2025. Dominican judge Yacaira Veras postponed the hearing at the request of prosecutors because of the absence of several key witnesses in the case. Only three out of 31 witnesses arrived to the hearing on Thursday. Franco’s lawyers asked the court to reconsider the postponement, arguing Franco must report to spring training in mid-February. “There is no case against Wander, for as many witnesses as they present, there is no case now,” Franco's lead lawyer Teodosio Jáquez told The Associated Press after the hearing. The judge replied that Franco is obligated to continue with the trial schedule and his conditional release from detainment. Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Advisors Asset Management Inc. Increases Stock Holdings in AppFolio, Inc. (NASDAQ:APPF)LUMPY, bumpy and hard to paint, it's hard to believe that wood chip walls were ever in Vogue. The bobbly finish was the wall covering of choice back in the 80s and is still a leftover relic in many homes today. Of course, wood chip was a popular way of hiding a multitude of uneven wall sins, so there's every chance that removing the paper will open up a brand new can of worms for you. And if you decide to take the risk, removing said wallpaper and then having the walls professionally finished can be costly – so it's no wonder so many of us are living with walls we hate. One DIY fan has a solution though, and it's surprisingly simple. Taking to Facebook , the savvy decorator shared: "So my house is covered in awful wood chip, and previous years I've just painted it when decorating. MORE HOME HACKS "Having got sick of plain painted walls, and not enough money to get all the walls plastered if I stripped it off, I had an idea. "I tried putting 3D brick effect paper over the woodchip," she explained, noting that the bumpiness of the walls only made the brick paper look more authentic. "Because you can slightly see the bumps from the woodchip underneath, it's actually given the brick paper more of a realistic look!! Win win," she raved. "I hope it helps any others cursed with the chip!!!" Most read in Fabulous The pictures show the 'before' state of her walls, which had the classic rice pudding appearance of woodchip. In the 'after' pictures, her space is completely transformed with the brick-effect paper, which she found in stores including B&Q , and you really wouldn't know how lumpy the walls are underneath. B&Q sell GoodHome Pernay Grey Glitter effect Brick Textured Wallpaper for £26 a roll. It has "paste the wall" technology which means it is quick, simple and easy to install. It saves up to 30 percent time by applying the paste directly to the wall – there's no pasting table needed, no soaking time as it doesn't shrink; easy to remove, with no wall deterioration. It's also suitable for all living spaces, for utility/humid spaces (kitchen, bathroom) and for high traffic rooms, thanks to its vinyl coating that is washable and extremely durable. Even better, it's made using responsibly-sourced, forest-friendly paper. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, B&M has Debona Metallic Brick Wallpaper for £10.99 a roll. And the DIY-er received stellar replies to her before and after pictures. "That’s brilliant, we have a lot of woodchip in our house and have always painted it... you have given me a great idea, thanks for sharing," replied one grateful fan. "Such a brilliant idea! Looks fab. You're a genius," someone else commented. Another commenter revealed they'd done the exact same thing in their home, to disguise the after-effects of a plumbing issue that ruined the walls. "I did my downstairs toilet in brick effect wallpaper as I'd had a burst pipe that flooded it and made a mess of the walls," they said. Others said they've decided against covering theirs and are removing it once and for all. "I'm doing old school, and stripping it bit by bit. I've no idea who first invented the stuff, but if they're still alive (which I doubt) they should be in prison for crimes against humanity," someone joked. Elsewhere, someone else was brave enough to admit to being a woodchip culprit back in the day. READ MORE SUN STORIES "I must confess, and will take my punishment like a grown-up, that I used it copiously in the 70’s, 80’s and even the early 90’s to cover up dodgy walls," they said. "So there are possibly a multitude of people out there that have cursed me over the years."

Cerro Gordo County Sheriff Kevin Pals, who is retiring Dec. 31 after more than 45 years in law enforcement, first became involved in that career field as a teen. When he was a senior at Clear Lake High School, the town’s police department started a reserve program. Pals said that sparked his interest, and he joined the Clear Lake Police Department as a dispatcher in August 1978, just a few months after high school graduation. “I was hooked,” he said. “I’ve always just loved law enforcement. I’ve never regretted going into law enforcement. I have always liked my job everywhere I’ve worked. I haven’t always had all good days, but I’m not sure anyone does.” Pals worked for the Clear Lake Police Department until January 1980, when the Winona County Sheriff’s Office in Minnesota hired him. He initially served as a dispatcher and then worked in the jail. After Pals and his wife, Julie, had their first child, they decided they wanted to move back to North Iowa. The Mason City Police Department hired him in the summer of 1982, where he remained until he was elected as Cerro Gordo County Sheriff in November 2000. Since then, Pals has been re-elected five times. He ran unopposed in each election except for the one in 2000. It has been an honor to the chosen by the public so many times to serve them, according to Pals. “I have never taken that for granted,” he said. Pals, 64, decided not to run for a sixth term. He wants to retire now rather than waiting another four years. He said his interactions with people and helping the public are what he will miss the most. “Initially when you are younger you get into it (law enforcement) for the action part of the job, but when you are in the job you realize that action is very, very, small part of it,” Pals said. “Most of it is just dealing with people. Once you learn to communicate with people, you can do great things.” The technology used in law enforcement has changed dramatically, according to Pals. When he was a dispatcher in the late 1970s and early 1980s and needed to do a license plate check, he would run a strip of computer tape, feed it back in and transfer it to Des Moines. He said this took a lot of time and sometimes the tape would break, causing even more delays. “Now we have computers in our patrol cars and have apps on our work cellphones that make our jobs better, safer and better for the community,” Pals said. One of the highlights of Pals’ career was the construction of the Cerro Gordo County Law Enforcement Center, which was made possible by the passage of a bond issue in 2005. The center houses a much-needed larger jail than the one that was located in the courthouse. The facility also includes office space for the sheriff’s department and a joint dispatch center with Mason City. “That was a lot of work, but it was worth every minute that we put into it,” Pals said. One of his favorite jobs in law enforcement was being a K-9 handler when he was with the Mason City Police Department. The dog, Rommel, was only a year and a half old when Pals got him and began training with him. Pals’ oldest son was about the same age at the time. Rommel was more than just a work partner, according to Pals. “He became a family dog to us.” Pals also enjoyed being the DARE officer from 1991 to 1996. He said it was a great opportunity to interact with youths and the school system. Pals said local officers “have helped lot of good people in some pretty bad times in their life.” However, “you always think of the cases that were never solved.” When he was still with the Mason City Police Department, Pals was involved with the investigation into the Gerald Best homicide case. Best, 50, was found stabbed to death on Dec. 30, 1999, in his apartment. The case remains unresolved to this day, which haunts Pals. Now that the state of Iowa has launched a cold case unit, he hopes Best’s killer can be identified. “It would give some closure to the family,” Pals said. Cerro Gordo County Chief Deputy Dave Hepperly was elected in November to succeed Pals as sheriff. Pals hired Hepperly, who was formerly with the Mason City Police Department, 23 years ago. Between the two agencies, Pals and Hepperly have worked together for 40 years. This has made the transition in leadership of the sheriff’s office easier, according to Pals. Hepperly said Pals is “just a good guy. He cares about people. He’s cared about his employees. It’s not always easy being the sheriff and being the last word on things, but he’s always tried to do it fairly.” Pals has always been active in the community, according to Hepperly. “He quickly endeared himself to a lot of people, not only in Mason City but all of North Iowa,” he said. Pals is not the only longtime member of the sheriff’s office retiring this month. Office manager Joleen Vanous, who was worked in the administrative department for 32 years, is also leaving Dec. 31. Deputy Cam Manson, who has been with Cerro Gordo County for 15 years and spent 10 years with the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office before that, signed off from his final shift at 4 p.m. Dec. 18. Pals said one of the things he is looking forward to the most about retirement is not having to set his alarm clock anymore except for Saturday evenings so he can get to church on Sunday morning. He plans to volunteer in the community, and there’s always plenty to do at the acreage north of Clear Lake where he lives. Kevin and Julie Pals have two sons. Todd Pals lives in Mason City and Adam Pals lives in Arizona. The couple have five grandchildren, including three in Arizona, and they are looking forward to being able to see them more often. Arizona is a great place to visit, according to Pals. However, he and his wife, who is originally from Forest City, have no plans to move there. “I love North Iowa,” he said. “We aren’t going anywhere.” (c)2024 Globe Gazette, Mason City, Iowa Visit Globe Gazette, Mason City, Iowa at www.globegazette.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.SHENZHEN, China , Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As technology continues to evolve, consumer electronics have become essential to everyday life.

Saints vs. Rams Predictions & Picks: Odds, Moneyline, Spread – Week 13
Oregon Duck legend and fan favorite Kenjon Barner, a 9-year veteran in the NFL with three Super Bowl rings and a Consensus All-American for UO in 2012, had strong words for Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes after their 13-10 loss to Michigan at the Horseshoe today. The Bucknuts laid an egg during the game, losing to That Team Up North for the fourth time in a row, all on Day's watch. They missed two field goals and Will Howard threw a pair of costly picks. The first came early in the second quarter, intercepted by Aamir Hill at the OSU 11 and returned down to the two, setting up the Wolverines' only touchdown, a one-yard run by Kalel Mullings. The teams were tied 10-10 at halftime. Number two ranked Ohio State had a chance to take a lead in the third quarter on a drive that reached the Michigan 16, third and 7. Howard got some inside pressure from Kenneth Grant and threw wide of his target, into the arms of Michigan's Makari Paige. It stayed 10-10 until late in the fourth quarter when the visitors drove 57 yards for a short field goal in the final minute. The Buckeyes tried to put together a comeback in the last 45 seconds but Howard threw incomplete on third and fourth down. Go Blue, 19-point underdogs going in, went into Victory Formation for an upset victory, knocking their bitter rivals out of the Big Ten Championship Game and a potential top seed in the College Football Playoff. After the game a few of the jubilant MIchigan players tried to plant their flag at midfield in the O logo. A fight broke out, with a couple of Wolverine players and a photographer pepper sprayed by police, a melee at midfield that last several minutes. © Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images It was an ugly scene, and Barner, a veteran of three PAC-12 Championships and many victories in big games, had harsh words for the Buckeyes on X. Just after the game and the brouhaha he posted, "Now if Ohio State would have had the same fight in them during the game the outcome might have been different! That’s a bad look!" Now if Ohio st would have had the same fight in them during the game the outcome might have been different! That’s a bad look!

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Tahj Brooks ran for a season-high 188 yards and three touchdowns in the final home game for Texas Tech's all-time leading rusher, and the Red Raiders rolled to a 52-15 victory over West Virginia on Saturday. Texas Tech (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) kept alive faint hopes for a bid in the Big 12 championship game by winning at least eight games in the regular season for the first time since 2009 under the late Mike Leach. The Red Raiders scored at 50 points for the second week in a row and had a resounding response to consecutive home losses. “It was a big deal for us to play well at home,” coach Joey McGuire said. “Our last two home games, we’ve had incredible crowds that had great energy, that had our backs and we played really, really bad. We were embarrassed.” Garrett Greene threw an interception and lost a fumble on Terrell Tilmon's strip sack in the final three minutes of the first half as the Mountaineers (6-6, 5-4) raised more questions about the future of coach Neal Brown by falling behind 35-3 before the break. Behren Morton threw for 359 yards and two touchdowns, including a 31-yarder to Caleb Douglas to put Texas Tech in front 42-3 early in the second half. Josh Kelly had 150 yards receiving. “I don’t think the first half of football defines who they are, who they are as individuals, who we are as a team,” Brown said of the Mountaineers. “Not pleased with that.” McGuire, who will have his third winning record in three seasons, called timeout with 5:57 remaining and his team leading 45-15 to take Brooks out of the game. Brooks was mobbed by teammates as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. Brooks ran for at least 100 yards in all 11 regular-season games he played, breaking the single-season school record of 10 he shared with Byron Hanspard and Bam Morris. Brooks pushed his career total to 4,557 yards in his first home game since breaking Hanspard's 1996 school record of 4,219 yards two weeks ago at Jones AT&T Stadium. Two of Brooks' TDs came on 2-yard runs from direct snaps, and the other was a 37-yarder when he stumbled on a cut but stayed on his feet and bounced off defensive back Ty French. Brooks has 17 TDs rushing this season and 45 for his career. Brooks set up one of his short TDs with a 30-yard catch. Jahiem White ran for 124 yards with a spinning 21-yard touchdown for West Virginia, and Greene had a 15-yard scoring toss to Rodney Gallagher III. Greene threw two picks. West Virginia: A perfect season on the road in the Big 12 ended with a thud. The Mountaineers were 3-0 away from home in conference before allowing 29 second-quarter points followed by another TD just 2:12 into the third. Texas Tech: Tight end Jalin Conyers, one of Brooks' fellow seniors playing his final home game, made up a for a dropped pass in the end zone with a juggling, diving catch for 18 yards to set up Morton's 1-yard scoring toss to Mason Tharp. Conyers, an Arizona State transfer, also had a 2-point conversion run on a swinging gate play from the PAT unit. Both teams are eligible for bowl games. At game's end, Texas Tech's fate for a spot in the Big 12 title game was still up in the air. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
