One of the primary benefits of tiptoeing is its ability to engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. When you rise up onto your tiptoes, you activate the muscles in your calves, thighs, and buttocks, creating a challenging workout for your lower body. Additionally, maintaining your balance on tiptoe requires the activation of core muscles, helping to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles. By regularly practicing tiptoeing, you can tone and sculpt your muscles, leading to improved strength and endurance throughout your body.iFixit now sells official parts for the Xbox Series XNone

The jury in Michael Madigan’s corruption trial has heard many nicknames given to the powerful Democratic House Speaker, from the obvious, like “MJM” or “Mr. Speaker,” to the more esoteric such as “Himself” and “our Friend.” But on Monday they heard a new one: “Sphinx.” That was the moniker applied to Madigan by some members of JB Pritzker’s team after Pritzker’s election in 2018, according to U.S. Rep. Nikki Budzinski, who was a top Pritzker aide before her election to Congress in 2022. The nickname, a reference to the mythical figure of Egyptian pharaohs typically used to convey strength and ferocity, was used in an email shown during Budzinski’s testimony referencing a job recommendation from Madigan for Pritzker’s new administration. “Attached is the most recent Sphinx list of recommendations ahead of your meeting today,” read the Dec. 4, 2018, email, which was sent from Budzinski to Pritzker and his soon-to-be chief of staff, Anne Caprara. “We have noted these in our process and they are coming thru our portal.” It’s not the first time Madigan was ever referred to as Sphinx in political circles. In fact, some of the speaker’s own friends and colleagues sometimes called him “the Sphinx from Pulaski Road,” a nod to his 13th Ward headquarters at 65th and Pulaski. But Budzinski’s testimony was the first the jury had heard of it. And while she confirmed that “Sphinx” was a reference to Madigan, she couldn’t explain why. On cross examination, Madigan’s attorney Lari Dierks asked if the “Sphinx” nickname was part of the “myth” of Madigan in Springfield. “I can’t really speak to that. It wasn’t my nickname,” Budzinski testified. The image of Madigan, a famously Irish Southwest Sider, as a monumental desert colossus with the head of a human, body of a lion, and wings of an eagle brought some levity to an otherwise quick, cut-and-dried day of testimony in Madigan’s trial, which is now in its 10th week. U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey recessed the trial for the day after only an hour so that the parties could attend services for longtime 7th Circuit Judge Joel Flaum, who passed away last week at age 88. Testimony resumes Tuesday morning. Prosecutors have said they could rest their case in chief later this week. Madigan, 82, of Chicago, who served for decades as speaker of the Illinois House and the head of the state Democratic Party, faces racketeering charges alleging he ran his state and political operations like a criminal enterprise. He is charged alongside his longtime confidant Michael McClain, 77, a former ComEd contract lobbyist from downstate Quincy. Both men have pleaded not guilty and denied wrongdoing. Budzinski, a Springfield Democrat elected to the U.S. House last year, was senior adviser to Pritzker in his 2018 campaign to unseat Gov. Bruce Rauner and later was a key aide in Pritzker’s new administration. When she took the stand Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Amarjeet Bhachu asked her, “When you’re not testifying in federal court, can you tell the jury what’s your day job?” “I’m a United States representative,” she said. “I represent the 13th District of Illinois in Congress.” After Pritzker was elected in 2018, Budzinski became the executive director of the transition committee, helping to “select, interview and hire a number of individuals into state government and for boards and commissions.” Pritzker had the final say on any hires, Budzinski said. The transition team set up a government portal where any applicants had to sign up, Budzinski said. Other candidates came through LinkedIn and other social media. They also took recommendations from elected officials and others in government. Budzinski said she was aware Madigan had been “a legislative leader for a very long time,” and that they gave “serious consideration” to any job recommendation that came from him. But she said recommendations from any of four legislative leaders were in no way a slam dunk. “We had a lot of due diligence,” Budzinski said. “We really took it very serious to vet every single candidate that was recommended.” Jurors were shown one email from Budzinski to other Pritzker transition staff saying they had a resume from a guy from New York seeking a position with the Illinois Department of Transportation that “should have MJM on it.” “We need to call him at least and perhaps maybe consider him for number two spot,” Budzinski wrote. According to the indictment, one of Madigan’s recommendations was then-Ald. Daniel Solis, who was working undercover for federal investigators and asked Madigan to help him get a state board position in Pritzker’s administration as part of an FBI rise. Jurors have previously watched undercover video in which Solis asked Madigan for help getting on a state board that paid at least $100,000, including either the Labor Relations Board or the Illinois Commerce Commission.Prosecutors have also presented evidence that Madigan sent Solis information about state boards and commissions in response.The indictment against Madigan alleges he sat down with Pritzker in December 2018 and mentioned Solis as a candidate for a board seat. But Budzinski was not asked specifically about Solis in her testimony, which lasted only about 30 minutes. Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!The Aaron Rodgers experience in New York has fallen flat, which leaves the Jets again thinking about the future at quarterback amid a lost season that is essentially dead before Thanksgiving Day. Owner Woody Johnson wanted head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas to dump Rodgers for backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor a month into the campaign when the team was 2-2. The brass refused, and both Saleh and Douglas have been fired since. Rodgers has one year remaining on his contract, but the Jets can release him or trade him ahead of next season, which both seem more likely outcomes now than the soon to be 41-year-old returning to the franchise in 2025. Joe Camporeale/Getty Images Free agency is shaky at best, with Sam Darnold of the Minnesota Vikings -- formerly the No. 3 overall pick of the Jets in the 2018 NFL draft, who bombed out in New York after three seasons -- entering the 2025 class as arguably the top available QB alongside Pittsburgh Steelers backup Justin Fields . Trading for a Super Bowl-caliber signal caller is exceedingly difficult, as the Jets just proved after their failed attempt to do so via a deal for Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers just two years ago. That leaves New York with one option -- the 2025 draft. That isn't a foolproof plan either, despite the fact that were the draft held today, the Jets would select No. 6 overall . The reasons for uncertainty are two: first, the 2025 class isn't overly deep at the QB position. Second, New York is currently behind at least three teams in the Las Vegas Raiders , New York Giants and Tennessee Titans that are liable to look QB as well come April. Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images However, the Jacksonville Jaguars currently own the No. 1 pick and just inked QB Trevor Lawrence to a $275 million extension that ties the franchise to him through 2030. So, the first pick in the draft could essentially come down to a scenario where the best trade offer to the Jags wins the rights to Colorado Buffaloes signal caller, Shedeur Sanders . The Jets would undoubtedly need to include the No. 6 pick and more, likely another first-round selection in 2026 and then some, to move up the five spots to secure Sanders. However, doing so might also allow New York to fill its head coaching vacancy in the process. Jeff Ulbrich is the interim head coach, but the Jets could potentially replace him with Deion Sanders -- Shedeur Sanders' father and head coach at Colorado -- as a package deal. There are other teams certainly that would be interested in Shedeur Sanders as the QB of the future, and there may also be multiple franchises interested in adding the dynamic father-son duo. The Jets could get into that game by making a big move ahead of the draft and trading into the No. 1 spot, which is what it will likely take to bring what is otherwise a contending-caliber roster in New York into the Super Bowl conversation in the coming years.

NoneCoronation Street fans were left scratching their heads as a character seemingly vanished from Weatherfield. In the latest episode, viewers saw Daniel Osbourne, played by Rob Mallard, intensifying his rift with Debbie Webster, portrayed by Sue Devaney. He pointed the finger at Debbie for reckless driving after she had to abruptly stop her car to avoid hitting his son Bertie. Tempers flared as Daniel confronted Debbie, and although Bethany (Lucy Fallon) attempted to defuse the tension, they all ended up at the Rovers Return for a pint. But fans were perplexed when they noted the absence of young Bertie, and took to social media to query who could be minding the child. The plot thickened after Daniel and Bethany had an argument in the pub concerning Daisy Midgeley, played by Charlotte Jordan. This resulted in Bethany departing to join her mother Sarah, played by Tina O'Brien, while Daniel stayed behind, getting increasingly intoxicated, which ultimately led to him being thrown out following a commotion with Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell). The situation escalated further when Kevin left Debbie's car keys on the tyre of her vehicle. The subsequent morning, a baffled Debbie discovered her car had been stolen and promptly informed the police, unaware that Daniel was behind the wheel during an accident and was now relying on Daisy's help to hide his crime, reports . Amidst all the unfolding drama, earnest Corrie watchers were bemused by the continuous lack of toddler Bertie and expressed their confusion online. One concerned viewer questioned on : "Who's looking after Bertie? #Corrie," while another echoed the sentiment, asking: "Who's looking after Bertie while Daniel's getting drunk #Corrie." Another viewer tweeted: "#corrie Dad of the year, Daniel - not content with letting Bertie dart across the road when he wasn't watching him - has now left him with who knows who? to go out getting legless." A third wrote: "I'm not surprised Bertie has no road sense. He's never out his bedroom/cupboard they keep all the kids in. #Corrie." The drama intensified when Sarah confronted Debbie within the confines of a hotel after discovering her secret involvement as the British shareholder with the Turkish clinic that carried out inadequate surgery on Bethany. Sarah blasted, "All this time you knew you had shares, watching Bethany go through this and you said nothing," with Debbie responding, "I've said I'm sorry over and over, and offered to help in any way I can." Sarah added: "Name the time and the place, and I'll show you exactly what happens when you mess with my daughter."

Rapper-actor 50 Cent is suggesting the National Football League could part ways with Jay-Z and find another partner to produce its Super Bowl halftime shows amid allegations that Jay-Z raped a minor in connection with the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex-trafficking investigation. Jay-Z has been a partner with the NFL for its Super Bowl halftime show since 2019, when the league took him on amid the rising social justice movement at the time. The partnership was a quick reversal for the rapper who had turned down any involvement in the league’s Super Bowl show only the year before. But since that time, Jay-Z has not just taken on the role of co-producer for the annual show, he also became an integral part of the NFL’s social justice work. Now, with a rape allegation hanging over Jay-Z’s head, rapper 50 Cent is raking his rival over the coals. In a message referring to the Super Bowl halftime show posted on his Instagram account, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, wrote, “Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl *worried emoji* I’m just asking for a friend!” A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) 50 Cent, of course, had alleged that Jay-Z tried to have him banned from the NFL’s annual halftime show in 2022. Kendrick Lamar is scheduled to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans early next year to top off the 2024 NFL season. For his part, Jay-Z is denying the allegations and claiming that the attorney who filed the claims, Tony Buzbee, is a “deplorable human” and an “ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.” “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee,” the Roc Nation founder said in a public statement. “What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” Jay-Z continued. “No sir, it had the opposite effect!” Jay-Z, insisted. “It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion,’ he continued. ‘So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!” Jay-Z went on to call the allegations “heinous in nature” and said he doubted the sincerity of the charges since Buzbee is filing a civil lawsuit and not a criminal case. And he then maligned Buzbee’s service in the U.S. Marines. “You claim to be a marine?! Marines are known for their valor, you have neither honor nor dignity,” he wrote accusingly. Jay-Z concluded his retort to Buzbee’s claims with a lamentation over what the allegations is doing to his family. “My only heartbreak is for my family,’ he continued. ‘My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people,” he said.

Writing in the November bulletin of the North Dakota Newspaper Association, Executive Director Cecile Wehrman said: “Well, it was nice while it lasted. ADVERTISEMENT “For several weeks after the postal roundtable held in Grand Forks on Aug. 26, I was getting a few messages from eastern (N.D.) newspapers expressing surprise that they were suddenly getting their newspapers (delivered) on time. “Of course, it didn’t last.” Wehrman, who is an accomplished journalist and former publisher/editor of weekly newspapers, was commenting on the ever-worsening level of service to North Dakota’s weekly newspapers from the United States Postal Service. (It’s the same for daily papers.) Her column was headlined “Postal issues still not resolved” — an understatement if ever there was one. At a time when community newspapers that have been mainstays of towns and counties for generations are struggling because of changes in the rural economy, USPS is making a challenging situation worse. In some cases, shoddy service from USPS has hastened, or even guaranteed, a newspaper’s demise. Weekly newspapers depend on the postal service to actually provide the service it is required to provide. Instead, deliveries are unreliable, unpredictable and sometimes so late that the content of the newspapers — news and advertising — is meaningless. Some advertisers have demanded refunds from publishers because ads didn’t get to readers in a timely fashion. Think of what that does to the bottom line of a small newspaper that counts on every advertising dollar. So what’s wrong with USPS? These days, just about everything. But at its core is a long-festering systemic fiasco that dates to the 1970 Postal Reorganization Act that reduced USPS from a cabinet-level department to an independent quasi-business agency. It’s an incompatible hybrid of half-baked privatization and fumbled government obligation. It was a mistake of historic proportions, and the years since have proved as much. It was an ideology-driven congressional manipulation of the constitutional mandate (Article I, Section 8), which gives Congress the power to establish post offices and post roads. ADVERTISEMENT The doctrine of universal service (getting first-class mail to you wherever you are) is what the framers envisioned. They did not enable a system that was going to be profitable commerce. The universal service obligation is not a profit model; and attempts since 1970 to make it so have failed. The USPS is a mess for many reasons: union intransigence, competition, the digital revolution, mismanagement, political interference and corruption. Nonetheless, mail delivery should be adequately federally funded, not dependent on a demonstrably unworkable profit pretense. It’s a constitutional obligation, much like providing for the common defense and the general welfare. Do we expect the Department of Defense to make a profit? Do national parks pay for themselves? The interstate highway system? Farm subsidies? Congress appropriates funds to meet those obligations. It should be the same for the postal service. As the Constitution directs: deliver the mail — and those weekly newspapers — everywhere and on time. Benjamin Franklin, the first postmaster and a weekly newspaper owner, would expect no less.

A late-game rally derailed by a missed extra point and Cowboys stun Commanders 34-26LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) -Liverpool came back after conceding early to beat Leicester City 3-1 at Anfield on Thursday and open a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Struggling Leicester took a shock sixth minute lead through Jordan Ayew but lived a charmed life until Cody Gakpo equalised on the stroke of halftime. Liverpool then put Leicester under siege straight from the break and took just four minutes into the second half to go ahead through Curtis Jones before Mohamed Salah made sure of the points with a superb 82nd-minute finish. The victory extended their unbeaten league run to 13 games and advanced Liverpool to 42 points at the top of the standings. They also have a game in hand over second-placed Chelsea, who are on 35, as well as third-placed Nottingham Forest on 34. On a misty night in Liverpool, Leicester silenced the Anfield crowd with their early goal, as Stephy Mavididi’s run down the left culminated in a square cross into the penalty area that found Ayew, who used his strength to see off the challenge of Andy Robertson and then turn to slot home. DESERVED EQUALISER Robertson came close to atoning when his header hit the upright in the 25th minute and a curling left footed shot from Salah struck the crossbar in the 45th minute. Seconds later Gakpo cut in from the left and struck a superb curling effort beyond Leicester goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk for a deserved equaliser. Jones’ goal came after Liverpool moved the ball around in tight spaces before Alexis Mac Allister’s square pass was steered in by the Englishman. There was a lengthy VAR check before the goal was confirmed and a similarly long wait for a check when Gakpo found the net again in the 67th minute. That was eventually ruled offside. Salah’s strike was another classy finish as he marked his 100th home Premier League goal with a characteristic cut inside off the right flank, followed by an expertly placed finish across the face of the goal. Liverpool could have won by a larger margin such was their dominance. Leicester dropped into the relegation zone before kickoff after Wolverhampton Wanderers went above them earlier on Boxing Day after their 2-0 home win over Manchester United. Leicester remained on 14 points after a third successive league loss, two points above second from bottom Ipswich Town. Liverpool are away at West Ham United next on Sunday while Leicester host champions Manchester City the same day.

THE use of cash has grown for the second year in a row, amid worries that more businesses are refusing to accept notes and coins. Cash was used in 19.9 per cent of all UK transactions in 2023 — up from 18.8 per cent the previous year, according to British Retail Consortium figures. 3 Use of cash is growing - amid concerns businesses are refusing to accept notes and coins Credit: Getty The increase is a shift from a long-running trend of people switching to digital payments and debit cards. The BRC credited the rise to the cost-of-living crisis — with many people finding it easier to budget their outgoings in physical cash. The Treasury Select Committee is examining if there should be rules to force businesses to accept cash, amid a rise in the number of outlets that have already switched to contactless only. There are growing concerns they exclude many vulnerable people. A submission to the inquiry by VISA found that in 2019 over 15 per cent of people with an income under £10,000 a year relied completely on cash to pay for goods and services, compared with less than 2.5 per cent of all higher income groups READ MORE BUSINESS NEWS NO MORR COSTS Morrisons boss blasts Budget 'avalanche' amid warnings of higher prices BUDGET FALLOUT 'I wouldn't trust govt to do my shopping', fumes AO World boss on tax raid But there are also warnings that cash-only businesses such as nail bars and car washes are fuelling modern slavery and illegal immigration. Bas Javid, director general of immigration enforcement at the Home Office, said at the weekend some businesses rejected card payments to disguise illegal working. The Select Committee yesterday heard that physical cash is essential for victims and survivors of economic and domestic abuse.

NUKE KID ON THE BLOCK 3 First nuclear reactor for a generation is fitted to British power station, Hinkley Point A 500-ton steel reactor was fitted into Britain’s first nuclear power station in 30 years yesterday. The 42ft reactor pressure vessel was installed at Hinkley Point C in Somerset, which EDF says will generate power for three million homes . The project, which is due to start generating power in 2029, has been hampered by political wrangling, Covid and supply chain problems. The delayed start has caused concerns about Britain’s energy security. EDF and Centrica yesterday said they will keep four ageing nuclear power stations running to ensure there is a low blackout risk. Chris O’Shea, chief executive of Centrica, said: “Power generation that doesn’t depend on the sun shining and the wind blowing is essential to keeping the lights on.” B&M SICK AS A DOG BURBERRY has launched legal action against B&M in a trademark dispute.

OZ CALL FOR MINE GIANT RIO 3 Rio Tinto has come under fresh attack from an activist investor Credit: Getty MINING giant Rio Tinto has come under fresh attack from an activist investor pushing it to scrap its main London listing and focus on Australia instead. Palliser Capital yesterday published an open letter to Rio Tinto’s board arguing the dual-listed structure has been a “failure for shareholders”. The UK hedge fund, which has a £197million stake in the miner, urged it to follow BHP and drop its dual listing. The loss of Rio Tinto would be a big blow to the London Stock Exchange and many pension tracker funds would be forced to sell stock if it was no longer in the FTSE 100. The Exchange is in crisis after facing the worst exodus of firms in 14 years, with 45 companies removed from the market in takeovers, according to Bloomberg. The value of the UK PLC market is shrinking because there have not been any big listings to replace the losses. PETROL 'AT PEAK' BRITAIN has hit “peak petrol” and the number of cars needing to be filled up at the pumps will almost halve over the next decade, says a report. Auto Trader estimates there were 18.7million petrol cars this year, but that will slump to 11.1million by 2034. It predicts a “seismic shift” towards electric vehicles as they become cheaper, from 1.25million EVs to 13.7million in the next decade. It expects the share of EVs to rise to 23 per cent next year, below the Government’s eco-mandate of 28 per cent.

ET Year-end Special Reads Corporate Kalesh: Top family disputes of India Inc in 2024 The world of business lost these eminent people in 2024 Fast, faster, fastest: How 2024 put more speed into your shopping According to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), it had come to light after investigations that in case of spurious drugs, a chemist or retail store claims to produce GST bills/ invoice of the drug which they have purchased. However, in most cases, the place of procurement is from another part of the country. "This means that whenever shopkeepers or chemists are caught selling substandard/spurious drugs, they show a valid bill which is usually procured from another state," said a senior official. The official said the panel will examine ways for prosecuting erring chemists and retail shops to control the growing menace of spurious drugs. He said the government move gains significance as chemist and retailer shops are last part for selling drugs to the general public and the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and rules are made for welfare and upkeep of public health, making it vital to address this issue of sale of spurious drugs from the point of sale.

In a somber moment for India, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh passed away at the age of 92, leaving behind a legacy of economic reforms that reshaped the nation. On Thursday night, All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi reported Singh's death, prompting an outpouring of condolences from political leaders. Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy described Singh as a 'great son of India' and highlighted his influence as a leader and economist. Union Minister G Kishan Reddy praised Singh's contributions to India's development, while BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao acknowledged his support for Telangana statehood. Singh's enduring impact as both Finance Minister and Prime Minister remains a testament to his vision and leadership. (With inputs from agencies.)

The rest of the top 10 turned into a jumble of teams swapping places. The Jayhawks picked up five first-place votes in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll released on Monday, receiving 49 from a 61-person media panel. No. 2 UConn had seven first-place votes, No. 3 Gonzaga earned two and No. 4 Auburn three. Iowa State climbed two spots to round out the top five. The shuffling started with No. 8 Alabama’s 87-78 loss to No. 6 Purdue, a game that dropped the Crimson Tide six spots and bumped the Boilermakers up seven. Losses by Duke and Arizona shook up the top 10 further. The No. 12 Blue Devils dropped six spots from last week after their 77-72 loss to No. 9 Kentucky. The Wildcats climbed 10 spots for their first top-10 ranking this season. Arizona lost 103-88 at No. 19 Wisconsin and fell eight spots to No. 17.

Trump has pressed for voting changes. GOP majorities in Congress will try to make that happen ATLANTA (AP) — Republicans in Congress plan to move quickly in their effort to overhaul the nation’s voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. They want to push through long-sought changes such as voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. They say the measures are needed to restore public confidence in elections. That's after an erosion of trust that Democrats note has been fueled by false claims from Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Democrats say they are willing to work with the GOP but want any changes to make it easier, not harder, to vote. Americans are exhausted by political news. TV ratings and a new AP-NORC poll show they're tuning out NEW YORK (AP) — A lot of Americans, after an intense presidential election campaign, are looking for a break in political news. That's evident in cable television news ratings and a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll found nearly two-thirds of Americans saying they've found the need recently to cut down on their consumption of political and government news. That's particularly true among Democrats following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, although a significant number of Republicans and independents feel the same way. Cable networks MSNBC and CNN are really seeing a slump. That's also happened in years past for networks that particularly appeal to supporters of one candidate. Israel strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while the WHO chief says he was meters away JERUSALEM (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports. The World Health Organization’s director-general said the bombardment on Thursday took place just “meters away” as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa. He says a crew member was hurt. The strikes followed several days of Houthi attacks and launches setting off sirens in Israel. Israel's military says it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa, power stations and ports. The Israeli military didn't immediate respond to questions about the WHO chief's statement. The US says it pushed retraction of a famine warning for north Gaza. Aid groups express concern. WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say they asked for — and got — the retraction of an independent monitor's warning of imminent famine in north Gaza. The internationally Famine Early Warning System Network issued the warning this week. The new report had warned that starvation deaths in north Gaza could reach famine levels as soon as next month. It cited what it called Israel's “near-total blockade” of food and water. The U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jacob Lew, criticized the finding as inaccurate and irresponsible. The U.S. Agency for International Development, which funds the famine-monitoring group, told the AP it had asked for and gotten the report's retraction. USAID officials tell The Associated Press that it had asked the group for greater review of discrepancies in some of the data. India's former prime minister Manmohan Singh, architect of economic reforms, dies aged 92 NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the architect of India’s economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, has died. He was 92. The hospital said Singh was admitted to New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences late Thursday after his health deteriorated due to “sudden loss of consciousness at home." He was “being treated for age-related medical conditions,” the statement added. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh became one of India’s longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years and earned a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. But his sterling image was tainted by allegations of corruption against his ministers. What is known about a plane crash in Kazakhstan that killed 38 of 67 people on board The crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan has killed 38 of 67 people on board. Azerbaijan Airlines’ Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijani capital Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday when it was diverted for reasons that aren’t fully clear yet. It crashed while making an attempt to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan after flying east across the Caspian Sea. Officials in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Russia haven't commented on a possible cause of the crash pending an official investigation. Some commentators pointed out holes in the plane's tail section pictured after the crash as a sign that it could have been fired upon by air defense systems. Ukraine's military intelligence says North Korean troops are suffering heavy battlefield losses KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's military intelligence says North Korean troops are suffering heavy losses in Russia's Kursk region and face logistical difficulties as a result of Ukrainian attacks. The intelligence agency said Thursday that Ukrainian strikes near Novoivanovka inflicted heavy casualties on North Korean units. Ukraine's president said earlier this week that 3,000 North Korean troops have been killed and wounded in the fighting in the Kursk region. It marked the first significant estimate by Ukraine of North Korean casualties several weeks after Kyiv announced that North Korea had sent 10,000 to 12,000 troops to Russia to help it in the almost 3-year war. How the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and “Roaring Kitty” reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. Holiday shoppers increased spending by 3.8% despite higher prices New data shows holiday sales rose this year even as Americans wrestled with still high prices in many grocery necessities and other financial worries. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, holiday sales from the beginning of November through Christmas Eve climbed 3.8%, a faster pace than the 3.1% increase from a year earlier. The measure tracks all kinds of payments including cash and debit cards. This year, retailers were even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there were five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mastercard SpendingPulse says the last five days of the season accounted for 10% of the spending. Sales of clothing, electronics and Jewelry rose. Why this Mexican American woman played a vital role in the US sacramental peyote trade MIRANDO CITY, Texas (AP) — Amada Cardenas, a Mexican American woman who lived in the tiny border town of Mirando City in South Texas, played an important role in the history of the peyote trade. She and her husband were the first federally licensed peyote dealers who harvested and sold the sacramental plant to followers of the Native American Church in the 1930s. After her husband's death in 1967, Cardenas continued to welcome generations of Native American Church members to her home until her death in 2005, just before her 101st birthday.College Football Playoff's first 12-team bracket is set with Oregon No. 1 and SMU in, Alabama outUK households are bracing for another surge in energy bills come January, as the regulator is anticipated to announce its second consecutive winter increase to the price cap. Energy consultancy Cornwall Insight forecasts that Ofgem will disclose this Friday a 1% rise, or £19, bringing the typical household's energy bill from £1,717 to £1,736 starting January 1. This adjustment comes as a disappointment after Cornwall Insight initially predicted a 1% decrease to £1,697, especially following a 10% upsurge in October. The situation is further exacerbated for millions of pensioners who are set to endure the colder months with diminished support, as the new Government has axed winter fuel payments for those not on pension credit or other benefits, affecting about 10 million elderly individuals who will lose out on up to £300 this year. Earlier in the week, Cornwall Insight commented, "Given the price cap rise in October, many will have been hoping to see a fall in the cap for January." "Unfortunately, forecasts show that prices will be staying relatively high for the remainder of winter." However, there is a glimmer of hope as prices are projected to dip slightly in both the second and fourth quarters of the forthcoming year. Ofgem revises the price cap for households every three months, primarily influenced by wholesale market energy costs, with the regulator set to confirm the level for the first quarter of the next year on November 22. Introduced by the Government in January 2019, the energy price cap sets a maximum charge for energy suppliers in England, Scotland, and Wales per kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy used by consumers. It doesn't cap total bills, as households still pay for their actual energy consumption. Although the cap is currently lower than during the peak of the energy crisis, which was exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, market prices remain "very sensitive to global events" and supply concerns linked to geopolitical tensions, according to Cornwall Insight. Craig Lowrey, principal consultant at Cornwall Insight, remarked: "Supply concerns have kept the market as volatile as earlier in the year and additional charges have remained relatively stable, so prices have stayed flat." He expressed disappointment that despite anticipation, prices will not decrease from the autumn rises as the colder months approach. Lowrey urged the Government to step in to protect vulnerable individuals and address long-term energy supply issues. He stated: "With it being widely accepted that high prices are here to stay, we need to see action." He suggested that measures such as social tariffs, adjustments to price caps, benefit restructuring, or other targeted support for vulnerable households should be seriously considered. He added: "The Government needs to keep momentum on the transition while acknowledging that immediate support is essential for those struggling now. "Inaction is a choice to leave people in the cold." Charities are raising alarms over another potential hike in energy prices, with National Energy Action highlighting the severe consequences the current cold weather is already inflicting on those most vulnerable. David Southgate, policy manager at disability equality charity Scope, commented: "This is a bitter pill to swallow for the many disabled people who face sky-high bills because they have no choice but to use more energy. "Life costs a lot more when you’re disabled, because of needing to use more heating to stay warm and healthy, or charging vital equipment like wheelchairs and breathing machines. "Our disability energy support services are hearing from disabled people who have cut back everything they can and racked up huge amounts of debt. "The Government urgently needs to step in and bring in discounted energy bills for disabled people." ChronicleLive is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our communities.

Sea Nomads, Once Masters In Water, Now Forced To Abandon Oceanic Life

Basketball NBA Market Overview and Leading Players: Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokic, Zion Williamson, Khris Middleton, Joel Embiid, Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Jayson TatumUS President Joe Biden on Sunday said deposed Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad should be "held accountable" but called the nation's political upheaval a "historic opportunity" for Syrians to rebuild their country. In the first full US reaction to Assad's overthrow by an Islamist-led coalition of rebel factions, Biden also warned that Washington will "remain vigilant" against the emergence of terrorist groups, announcing that US forces had just conducted fresh strikes against militants from the Islamic State organization. "The fall of the regime is a fundamental act of justice," Biden said, speaking from the White House. "It's a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria." Asked by reporters what should happen to the deposed president, who reportedly has fled to Moscow, Biden said that "Assad should be held accountable." Biden -- set to step down in January and make way for Republican Donald Trump's return to power -- said Washington will assist Syrians in rebuilding. "We will engage with all Syrian groups, including within the process led by the United Nations, to establish a transition away from the Assad regime toward independent, sovereign" Syria "with a new constitution," he said. However, Biden cautioned that hardline Islamist groups within the victorious rebel alliance will be under scrutiny. "Some of the rebel groups that took down Assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human right abuses," Biden said. The United States had "taken note" of recent statements by rebels suggesting they had since moderated, he said, but cautioned: "We will assess not just their words, but their actions." Biden said Washington is "clear eyed" that the Islamic State extremist group, often known as ISIS, "will try to take advantage of any vacuum to reestablish" itself in Syria. "We will not let that happen," he said, adding that on Sunday alone, US forces had conducted strikes against ISIS inside Syria. The US military said the strikes were conducted by warplanes against Islamic State operatives and camps. Strikes were carried out against "over 75 targets using multiple US Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s," the US Central Command said on social media. Earlier, Biden met with his national security team at the White House to discuss the crisis. Assad's reported departure comes less than two weeks after the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group challenged more than five decades of Assad family rule with a lightning rebel offensive that broke long-frozen frontlines in Syria's civil war. They announced Sunday they had taken the capital Damascus and that Assad had fled, prompting celebrations nationwide and a ransacking of Assad's luxurious home. A Kremlin source told Russian news agencies that the deposed leader was now in Moscow, along with his family. The US military has around 900 troops in Syria and 2,500 in Iraq as part of the international coalition established in 2014 to help combat the Islamic State jihadist group. It has regularly struck targets in the country including those linked to Iranian-backed militias. Tehran was a major backer of Assad's government. Biden also confirmed US authorities believe the American journalist Austin Tice, who was abducted in Syria in 2012, still lives. "We believe he's alive," Biden said, but the US has yet "to identify where he is." bur-sms/mlmRussia missile suspected in Azerbaijani plane crash, Moscow warns against 'hypotheses'

Trump names billionaire private astronaut as next NASA chief

AP News Summary at 1:11 p.m. ESTChris Sununu has one ask before he leaves the corner office: to see Dartmouth Health take over operations at Hampstead Hospital. He knows it’s a unique proposition – the private hospital would lease the facility from the state, gaining full control over hiring and operations – but after months of negotiations, he’s convinced it’s the best model of care for New Hampshire’s most vulnerable kids. In 2022, the state bought the psychiatric hospital and residential facility from private owners and offered the first state-run services for kids with the highest needs in New Hampshire. The last two years have been fraught, though, with changing leadership and limited capacity for services. “We’ve been very passionate about making sure that we’re doing everything we possibly can to create the right systems,” he said. “Assuming we’re going to get it through, it would be just a jewel and a crown of what is really a reformed system.” He’ll have to wait until later this month to see that wish come to fruition. Executive Council members tabled a contract for Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital – a branch of Dartmouth’s medical center – to take over operations at their Wednesday meeting, raising concerns on the oversight of the proposition and saying they need more time to understand the partnership agreement. The hospital itself has 71 beds available for in-patient services, as well as a dozen beds in the psychiatric residential facility, called East Acres. Both the hospital and residential facility have operated well below capacity since opening, leaving kids boarding in emergency rooms and utilizing out-of-state programs as they wait for in-state care. Within the hospital, 36 beds are currently occupied, with 35 offline and six kids waiting, as of Dec. 3. Only six children have been admitted at a time to East Acres, as well, with the Executive Council approving a $3 million renovation to the facility to increase the capacity, last month. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess Sununu’s confident the state will reach a consensus with the councilors, and they’ll approve the partnership at their Dec. 18 meeting, which will be his last before Governor-elect Kelly Ayotte takes office. “I absolutely expected that they would want more time. It’s a bit different than what we’ve seen before,” he said. “So they should absolutely take more time. I think the contract is fantastic.” Not all parties will be happy with the proposal, though. A petition from over 100 Hampstead Hospital employees is asking for them to remain as state employees, rather than be hired by Dartmouth. The last two years have marked a “challenging season of many changes” according to Morissa Henn, the deputy commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services. She hopes Dartmouth will right the ship. “We also owe it to the employees, to your point, to provide them with the certainty and stability they deserve. They have been through tremendous change,” said Henn. “Our commitment is that every employee has a great job at the end of the day.” Employees have had four changes in leadership, which means changes to insurance plans and retirement packages. Another transition to a new employer with Dartmouth would lead to “some objective – if inconvenient – facts,” they stated in the petition, including a loss of state pension plans. After the purchase, the state entered a contract with Wellpath, a healthcare company based in Nasvhille, Tennessee, to oversee clinical services. When the contract expired in May, Dartmouth took over as the provider. In that model, Dartmouth provided all clinical staff, but top leaders were employed by the state. The partnership mimicked that of New Hampshire Hospital and Glencliff Home, the state-run adult psychiatric hospital and assisted living facility. The new partnership with Dartmouth, though, means they would have full autonomy over staffing and operations. The state would oversee the facility through an advisory role on a joint commission. Sununu said through negotiations the state considered a myriad of options from operating the facility itself to selling it. He always envisioned a private partnership of sorts after purchasing Hampstead, but admits leasing the entire facility is a new approach. “It’s a great example of just because we haven’t done it before doesn’t mean it’s not going to be a home run,” he said. As the state and Dartmouth negotiated a contract for this takeover, employees were temporarily reassigned as state employees. This was never meant to be a permanent fixture, nor does Sununu foresee it becoming one. “These employees were never long-term state employees,” he said. “We made them ... temporary employee status while we negotiated the contract, but it was never guaranteed.” His conviction is pretty clear – he doesn’t expect the employees’ request to hinder negotiations. The Executive Council also does not have the ability to alter contracts, said Attorney General John Formella. The vote is a binary yes or no. All current employees will be guaranteed positions, said Henn. Plans include for all clinical staff to be hired full-time by Dartmouth and hospital leadership to be offered positions within the state department or by Dartmouth that match their skill set. The employees’ request could arise in the Legislature. Erica Layon, a Derry Republican, has filed a bill to establish classified state employee positions for all staff of Hampstead Hospital and Residential Treatment Facility. To state leaders, including Henn and Sununu, the partnership with Dartmouth will transform services for children at Hampstead. With Dartmouth at the helm, the private company would have better recruitment efforts than if the facility was state-run, said Sununu. Financing will also not be subject to a two-year state budget system and he estimates the deal will save the state $20 million in expenses annually. Henn hopes that this means more beds will be available for children, as staffing levels allow, but another factor of the contract is that Dartmouth intends to expand offerings to also provide outpatient care. “That’s why we want to build on that even further, to not just expand beds,” she said. “We also don’t want to be putting kids in institutions.” Still, councilors raised concerns over the scope of the 138-page contract. “Let’s make it perfectly clear, it’s an advisory committee for the state. It’s an advisory role. Dartmouth Hitchcock and their trustees and executives have all the authority and power,” said Executive Councilor Janet Stevens, a Rye Republican. “They are going to make the ultimate decisions.” To Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington, a Concord Democrat, if another private entity were to take control of a state facility of this scope, the process would require a “rigorous process” through the Department of Justice charitable trusts. “They would have to show that they are capable of operating this and providing the services for the community into the future. They would have to talk to payers about the antitrust,” she said. “None of that is happening here but the process for doing something this big, in my opinion, should be equally as rigorous.” Dartmouth has a long history with the state of providing mental health services for residents, with services at New Hampshire Hospital and the Sununu Youth Services Center. With that, Warmington is “delighted” that the hospital system is the provider in negotiation. She just has more questions. “This is a big deal,” she said. “I hope we’ll continue working with them in the fu ture, and I want Dartmouth to be our partner, but I think that we have not gone through the process we should go through.”NoneThere are seven games featuring a ranked team on Thursday’s college basketball slate.

New Zealand police begin arrests for gang symbol ban as new law takes effect

Carson Beck completed 20 of 31 passes for 297 yards and four touchdowns as No. 10 Georgia pummeled UMass 59-21 on Saturday in Athens, Ga. Nate Frazier ran for career highs of 136 yards and three touchdowns, while Arian Smith caught three passes for 110 yards and a score as the Bulldogs (9-2) won their second straight game and 30th straight at home, dating back to 2019. AJ Hairston completed 7 of 16 passes for 121 yards and a score for the Minutemen (2-9), who dropped their third straight. Jalen John ran for 107 yards and a score and Jakobie Keeney-James caught three passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Peyton Woodring kicked a 53-yard field goal to extend Georgia's lead to 31-14 on the first drive of the third quarter. But UMass wasted little time responding, as Hairston hit Keeney-James for a 75-yard touchdown to get the deficit down to 10. Georgia then finished its sixth straight drive with a score, as Frazier's 9-yard run up the middle gave the Bulldogs a 38-21 lead at the 8:44 mark of the third quarter. After UMass punted, Georgia played add-on in its next possession, with Frazier scoring from 15 yards out with 1:39 left in the third to lead 45-21. Frazier stamped his career day with his third touchdown run, a 2-yarder with 6:33 left, before Georgia capped the scoring with Chris Cole's 28-yard fumble return with 3:28 remaining. UMass took the game's opening drive 75 yards down the field -- aided by Ahmad Haston's 38-yard run -- and scored on CJ Hester's 1-yard run with 9:15 left. Georgia answered on its ensuing drive, as Beck's 17-yard passing touchdown to Oscar Delp tied the game at the 5:05 mark of the first quarter. Following a short punt by UMass, Beck connected with Smith for 49 yards, and a roughing-the-passer penalty put the ball at Minutemen's 14-yard line. Facing a fourth-and-4 from the 8-yard line, Beck found Cash Jones for a touchdown to take a 14-7 lead with 10:30 left in the second quarter. On UMass' next play from scrimmage, Raylen Wilson recovered John's fumble on the Minutemen's 28-yard line. Three plays later, Beck connected with Dominic Lovett for a 15-yard touchdown with 8:56 remaining. UMass then scored after a 14-play, 75-yard drive, finished off with John's 3-yard rushing score with 1:55 left in the first half. Georgia answered quickly, as Beck's 20-yard pass to Cole Speer set up a 34-yard touchdown pass to Smith with 43 seconds remaining, giving the Bulldogs a 28-14 halftime lead. --Field Level Media

In Sunday’s victory of the Eagles 22-16 over the Panthers , Saquon Barkley added 124 yards to his historic season in which he could break one of the most coveted records in the NFL: the total rushing yards record, currently held by Eric Dickerson in 1984. PUBLICIDAD That season with the Rams, Dickerson ran for a total of 2,105 yards. The player who came closest to breaking that record was Adrian Peterson, who in 2012 with the Vikings accumulated 2,097. PUBLICIDAD Currently, Barkley, who arrived this season in Philadelphia from the Giants as a free agent, has accumulated 1,623 yards with an average of 124.8 per game. If he continues this trend, he could surpass Dickerson. The good news for the Eagles' running back is that three out of the four remaining opponents have some of the worst defenses against the running game in the 2024 NFL season. The Eagles qualified for the playoffs thanks to Barkley The Philadelphia team was far from shining and almost lost at home to the Panthers, one of the worst teams in the NFL, but they still managed to rescue the victory, their ninth in a row, which allows them to secure a spot in the postseason as champions of their division or at least with a wild card. The Eagles struggled in the air, but the standout was Barkley with his 124 yards, who broke the Philadelphia team record for rushing yards in a season held by LeSean McCoy with 1,607 yards since 2013. The Jets' playoff drought has reached 14 seasons. The New York Jets' extremely poor campaign is officially over after losing in overtime 32-26 against the Dolphins in Miami. With that, they were eliminated from the playoffs for the 14th consecutive season, the longest active streak in the NFL. The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh in Week 5 and have only won one out of eight games since then. The eyes of this failure are focused on Aaron Rodgers, the veteran quarterback who arrived to lead the Jets to the Super Bowl, but couldn't do so after a serious injury in 2023 and one of his worst seasons as a professional in 2024. San Francisco crushes Chicago and stays alive. After three consecutive losses, the 49ers arrived at Sunday's game against the Bears with the obligation to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, and luckily for them, the opponent virtually did not show up to play in the first half. The statistics after two quarters speak for themselves: 319 offensive yards for San Francisco, despite not having their two starting running backs, against 4 for Chicago. The problem for the "Niners" is that they are still two games behind Seattle in the NFC West Division and there are only four weeks left in the regular season. On the Bears' side, it became clear that the crisis runs deeper than just having fired coach Matt Eberflus, as highly regarded interim coach Thomas Brown was unable to revive a lifeless team that lost 38-13 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The Simpsons played a game of the NFL Thanks to the tracking technology used by Next Gen Stats and Beyond Sports, combined with the optical tracking of Hawk-Eye Innovations, the NFL Monday night game was played in the world of "The Simpsons". Parallel to the duel between the Cowboys and Bengals in Dallas (which ended in a 27-20 victory for the Cincinnati team), some spirited players were at the Atom Stadium in the fictional town of Springfield. Additionally, Bart and Homer Simpson cheered on both teams and also participated in some plays. Bart was with the Bengals and Homer with the Cowboys. This unexpected participation was part of the surprises that the event offered to fans who chose to watch the "Simpsons" version of the game. While Bart and Homer were starring in the duel on the field, Lisa and Marge took on key roles off the field. Both interviewed standout players, contributing their own memorable moments to the match. Meanwhile, little Maggie surprised everyone by piloting the famous SkyCam. This is not the first time the NFL has done a parallel animated game: last year they did it from "Andy's Room" with the characters from "Toy Story".Biden issues veto threat on bill expanding federal judiciary as partisan split emergesNEW YORK , Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Monport Laser, an industry-leading brand of laser cutters and engravers, proudly announces the release of the Monport MEGA, the world's first 70W intelligent desktop CO2 laser engraving machine.

vo casino Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban believes micromanagement is a sign that something is broken . What To Know: Ofek Lavian , CEO of fintech company Forage , recently posted a thread on X focused on counterintuitive leadership principles. Cuban responded to the thread, noting that he agreed with everything except for the post on micromanaging. "Pretty darn good list. Agree with all but micromanage," Cuban said. "Micromanage early. Trust the process or fix what's broken if you always have to micromanage." CNBC reported Cuban's opinion on micromanaging was formed from personal experience with his former company Broadcast.com. Cuban reportedly micromanaged his employees in his early days as he expected them to match his own work ethic. This created a situation in which Cuban was always focused on pushing employees to be better and work faster without thinking about how he was coming off. "I wish somebody would have told me to be nicer,” Cuban reportedly said on the "Bio Eats World" podcast last year. Check This Out: Mark Cuban Swings $1M To Golf Company Despite Hating The Sport Cuban's "go, go, go" mentality and micromanaging tendencies actually hurt the company in its early stages. Cuban recalled one of his business partners pulling him aside and telling him he was scaring some of the employees with his management style. Still, Cuban sold the company to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in stock in 1999. Lavian's post included a link to a video featuring Shopify Inc SHOP co-founder and CEO Tobi Lütke , who argued that the idea of micromanaging is bad is "the dumbest idea on planet Earth." Although Cuban disagreed with the take, Lavian responded to Cuban, thanking him for his input. "I try to hire the right team so I don’t have to micromanage, but I don’t always get it right," Lavian said. "Once I know I can trust someone to get the little things right, I know they can devote the same level of detail and attention for the big ones that truly matter."

Temple secures 60-42 win against HofstraMaverick McNealy trails by one shot at the RSM Classic halfway point. Getty Images The third round of the 2024 RSM Classic begins Saturday morning at Sea Island’s Seaside course in Georgia. You can find full 2024 RSM Classic tee times for Saturday’s third round at the bottom of this post. Featured tee time for Round 3 After Thursday’s opening round at Sea Island’s Seaside course , Maverick McNealy was the story of the tournament. The 29-year-old fired a sizzling first-round 62 — a promising start in his quest to claim his maiden PGA Tour title. But leads are tough to maintain on the PGA Tour, and even though McNealy followed up his 62 with a round of two-under 70 on Sea Island’s Plantation course on Friday to reach 10 under overall, he’s now trailing 36-hole leader Patrick Fishburn (-11) by one shot heading into the weekend. Lee Hodges (-10) is T2 alongside McNealy after posting rounds of 69-63 to move 58 spots up the leaderboard. Fishburn is also seeking his first Tour victory, after posting four top-10 finishes in 2024, and will play alongside McNealy and Hodges in Saturday’s final grouping at 11:11 a.m. ET. You can watch Saturday’s third round of the 2024 RSM Classic on Golf Channel starting at 1 p.m. ET.

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Joe Biden ends his presidency with voters by a 30-point margin saying they have been hurt rather than helped by his economic policies. In addition, a new Fox News national survey finds that most voters not only have negative views of the economy (77% negative) and their personal financial situation (62% negative) — they also feel things are getting worse (64%). Three-quarters say inflation has caused them financial hardship over the last six months, including about one-third who call it a "serious" hardship, and those numbers have held steady for more than two years. Views on the economy are in negative territory by 54 points (23% positive, 77% negative). That is worse than at the beginning of Biden’s term by 14 points, and that increase in pessimism comes a touch more from Democrats (16 points) than Republicans (13) and independents (11). While few Democrats say Biden’s economic policies have hurt them (17%), only one-third say they helped (33%), with half saying his policies didn’t make a difference either way (50%). Overall, nearly three times as many say the president’s economic policies have hurt (47%) rather than helped them (17%), while one-third say no difference (35%). FOX NEWS VOTER ANALYSIS: HOW TRUMP REGAINED THE WHITE HOUSE Big picture, 68% are unhappy with the direction of the country (up 3 points since August). That small increase comes mainly from a 20-point jump in dissatisfaction among Democrats, which is mostly offset by fewer Republicans being dissatisfied by 15-points — presumably both shifts can be attributed to Trump’s re-election. On the whole, only 1 in 4 think history will consider Biden an above-average president. One in 3 says he will be remembered as one of the country’s worst presidents, which is a touch better than the 4 in 10 who said the same about Trump at the end of his first term. Yet, in 2020, three times as many said Trump (22%) would be remembered as "one of the country’s greatest presidents" as feel that way about Biden today (7%). Looking ahead, 39% think the economy will get better in 2025. That’s up from 22% who felt that way a year ago. There is a significant partisan gap in views on the economy’s future, as Republicans (63%) are more than three times as likely as Democrats (17%) to say it will be better next year. "The election post-mortems have emphasized the role of the economy in shaping the outcome, and it’s obvious that bad economic vibes hurt the incumbent party," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps run the Fox News Poll along with Democrat Chris Anderson. "What we’re seeing is a predictable shift toward optimism among Republicans and independents. We’ll see if Trump can sustain and perhaps even expand on that momentum with policies that lower prices and decrease taxes." Biden leaves office with a 41% job approval rating, just one point above his record low. Fifty-eight percent disapprove, including about 1 in 5 Democrats and most independents (76%). Disapproval is at all-time highs among voters under age 45, Hispanics and urban voters. Biden’s 41% approval is lower than Trump’s 47% approval at the end of his first term, former President Barack Obama’s 57% when he left office and former President Bill Clinton’s 62% approval in 2000, but higher than former President George W. Bush’s 34% approval at the end of his presidency. Overall, the president received his record high of 56% approval in June 2021 — one of only five times more voters than not rated him positively. His approval rating hit a record low of 40% in July 2022, November 2023 and October 2024. FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS FEEL HOPEFUL POST-ELECTION, WANT TRUMP TO FOCUS ON INFLATION Biden ends his term with lopsided negative ratings on some key issues, as only about one-third approve of the job he’s doing on border security (31% approve-67% disapprove) and inflation (34%-64%). His marks on foreign policy are a bit better (37%-60%), but that is a record low, and he is still underwater by 23 points. Poll-pourri After repeatedly promising not to, Biden granted a presidential pardon to his son, Hunter, on Dec. 1 for multiple felony convictions. Sixty-three percent of voters disapprove of the pardon — about double the share who approve (32%). Six in 10 Democrats approve, while 7 in 10 independents and 9 in 10 Republicans disapprove. Overall, views are the same when voters are asked about Trump’s commitment to pardon people convicted for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol: 62% disapprove, 34% approve. The partisan dynamic here flips, as 9 in 10 Democrats and 7 in 10 Independents disapprove, while 6 in 10 Republicans approve. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Conducted Dec. 6-9 under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,015 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (125) and cellphones (699) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (191). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error associated with results among subgroup is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population.

Even with access to blockbuster obesity drugs, some people don't lose weightWhen Tony Clark first visited Chicago 11 years ago, he said he saw homeless people experience “a different kind of horror.” Winters here, the Australian said, are on another level. “I had never seen horizontal ice,” he says. Clark was in Chicago then, in 2013, to accept an award for the “backpack bed” he co-designed with his wife for the unhoused. The idea, which he said came to him in church, was to give people “warmth, comfort and dignity.” He helped distribute about 150 of his backpacks that convert into tents to homeless people across the city then. Now, Clark has returned to Chicago with the goal of handing out many more of the backpack beds. The goal is 1,632, to be exact. That’s the number of people estimated to be living on the streets according to the city’s last Point in Time survey. Clark says he thinks that count is probably low. But he says it’s a starting point. On a wet Friday morning, Clark demonstrated the backpack tent in Union Park, crawling into one himself. He was flanked by representatives from four homeless advocacy groups that will distribute the tents once they raise funds for the $200,000 price tag. That roughly covers the tent price of $124 for every person living on the street according to the latest survey, Clark says. He is asking people to donate at GoodnightChicago.org . When the money is raised, the beds can be shipped to Chicago in late December or early January, he said. The beds can be distributed by the participating homeless organizations, which currently include Inner Voice, Street Samaritans, Our Moms Mission, Franciscan Outreach. Clark, a former IT entrepreneur who speaks with the enthusiasm of a television pitchman, explained the benefits of such a small tent. The 6-pound tent rolls out from its backpack into something that resembles a sleeping bag. But, unlike a sleeping bag, the tent is hardened for tough weather, including snow, rain and even fire. The bags are made of a fire-retardant material that resists burning, he says. When the tent is rolled up into its backpack, the bag still has unused space for belongings. Each tent includes a clear window and two vents, and sports a small Australian flag. This collapsible tent is designed to avoid the pitfalls of other more permanent camping tents that draw the ire of the community, avoiding what Clark said is an “us versus them” dynamic. Dr. Diane Washington, a retired behavioral health psychiatrist at Cook County Health, has been advocating for emergency room doctors to distribute the backpack bed to homeless people they discharge. The tents are especially needed for surviving the winter months. “The No. 1 problem is frostbite,” she said. She’s seen homeless people suffer amputations during the winter from frostbite. Shelter, including a tent like this backpack, would address that issue. Two years ago she and a philanthropic partner distributed 40 of the backpack beds. Jackie Edens, CEO of Inner Voice, says the tents are needed at a time when the city lacks the funding to meaningfully address homelessness. Last spring, voters shot down Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Bring Chicago Home ballot measure, which would have increased the property transfer tax for $1 million-plus to boost funding for homeless services. “There needs to be political will” to address the problem, said Edens, who was commissioner of former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s Office of Workforce Development. Clark speaks of a “philanthropic return on investment” that the tents provide, beyond the sticker price. He points to one estimate that each $124 tent produces $3,319 in “community impact,” when you consider the prevented emergency room visits and potential for employment. Washington said, based on her health care experience, the savings from each prevented ER visits is more likely over $20,000. “The cost of the bed outweighs any of that,” she says. Clark’s nonprofit has expanded since he last visited Chicago over a decade ago. He now sells around 7,000 beds to over 1,000 homeless organization in Australia alone. He says he is connected with 65 groups in the U.S. and hopes to expand to more. “Dignity is the first step to getting people off the streets,” Clark says.

SAGE 2025 aims to be bigger and brighter, with a more diverse array of games, and more opportunities for learning. As noted, there’s an expanded program of “SAGE Advice” talks this year, with a range of developers and industry experts set to share their thoughts on entering the games industry, developing games, evolving technology, and more. Here’s the full list of studios and games set to feature at SAGE 2025: In addition, there will also be a range of smaller games on show in the SAGE Elevate Showcase: What’s nice to see in this mix of games is there’s so many brand new projects set to be on show, with not much overlap between SAGE 2025 and SAGE 2024. For those who attended the show in 2024, there’ll be plenty of new projects to explore in a returning visit. According to organisers, this was intentional, to showcase the vast scope of talent in SA. “South Australia’s games sector is an incredibly exciting industry that is growing rapidly,” Andrea Michael, SA Arts Minister said in a press release. “Our state is home to brilliant creative minds and the games industry presents significant opportunities for South Australia. The event brings together video game designers, studios, and fans to connect and collaborate.” “After the huge success of this year’s SAGE: SA Game Exhibition which saw more than 2,000 people flock to the SAFC’s Adelaide Studios, the SAFC is thrilled to be presenting SAGE for a third exciting year in 2025, with a record number of SA studios exhibiting their video games across a packed two-day program,” Leanne Saunders, SAFC Head of Production and Development said. “The SA games sector is brimming with inventive and skilled developers and artists, and SAGE offers a unique chance to play and experience their exciting original video games and bold creative concepts first-hand.” takes place from at in Glenside, South Australia.Miami Heat president Pat Riley has issued a defiant update on Jimmy Butler’s future at the franchise amid trade talk rumors. In response to reports that Butler was interested in a trade, Riley said in a statement that the team will be holding on to the six-time NBA All-Star. “We usually don’t comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches,” Riley said in Thursday’s statement. “Therefore, we will make it clear – We are not trading Jimmy Butler.” ESPN’s Shams Charania said Wednesday that Butler “prefers” a trade away from the Heat – something the Miami star’s camp had previously denied. When reached by CNN, Butler’s agent declined to comment on details from the ESPN report. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra also said he wants to see Butler stay in Miami. “You have to compartmentalize in this business,” Spoelstra said Thursday, per AP . “We want Jimmy here. There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it. And it’s just unfortunate that you have to control or deal with a lot of the noise on the outside.” Butler joined the Heat from the Philadelphia 76ers in 2019. The forward had also previously played for the Chicago Bulls and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Since joining the Heat, Butler has helped lead Miami to two NBA Finals. The Heat lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2020 NBA Finals before losing to the Denver Nuggets in 2023. This season Butler averages 18.5 points-per-game alongside 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists. The Miami Heat are next in action against the Orlando Magic on Thursday but Butler has been ruled out with the Heat citing “return to competition reconditioning”.

After weeks of fear and bewilderment about the drones buzzing over parts of New York and New Jersey , U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is urging the federal government to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify and ultimately stop the airborne pests. The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy special technology that identifies and tracks drones back to their landing spots, according to briefings from his office. Schumer’s calls come amid growing public concern that the federal government hasn’t offered clear explanations as to who is operating the drones, and has not stopped them. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference. “There’s a lot of us who are pretty frustrated right now,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, on Fox News Sunday. “The answer ‘We don’t know’ is not a good enough answer.” President-elect Donald Trump posted on social media last week: “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down.” Certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security have the power to “incapacitate” drones, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “But we need those authorities expanded,” he said, without saying exactly how. The drones don’t appear to be linked to foreign governments, Mayorkas said. “We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the Northeast. And we are vigilant in investigating this matter,” Mayorkas said. Last year, federal aviation rules began requiring certain drones to broadcast their identities. It’s not clear whether that information has been used to determine who is operating the drones swarming locations in New York and New Jersey. Mayorkas’ office didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether they’ve been able to identify drones using this capability. Schumer is calling for recently declassified radar technology to be used to help determine whether an object is a drone or a bird, identify its electronic registration, and follow it back to its landing place. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday said federal officials were sending a drone detection system to the state. “This system will support state and federal law enforcement in their investigations,” Hochul said in a statement. The governor did not immediately provide additional details, including where the system will be deployed. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month over New Jersey, raising concerns among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility and over Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified.None

SS Save Our Ship! A new product might just be the secret in saving famous underwater shipwrecks from the elementsThe United States Postal Service might have found a way to unite a nation bitterly divided after this month's election: It will release a Betty White stamp. The beloved actor known for roles in "The Golden Girls," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Boston Legal" and others will be on a 2025 Forever stamp, USPS announced this past week. White died in late December 2021 , less than three weeks before her 100th birthday. The Postal Service hasn't announced a release date for the stamp. Betty White speaks Sept. 17, 2018, at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. “An icon of American television, Betty White (1922–2021) shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades,” the Postal Service said in announcing the stamp, which depicts a smiling White based on a 2010 photograph by celebrity photographer Kwaku Alston . “The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals.” Boston-based artist Dale Stephanos created the digital illustration from Alston's photo. "I'd love to send a letter back to my 18-year-old self with this stamp on it and tell him that everything is going to be OK," Stephanos posted on Facebook . Regardless of personal politics, self-proclaimed supporters of Republican President-elect Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris reacted with delight on social media. "Betty White was my hero, all of my life! I actually had a doll when I was a little girl I named Betty White," one Trump supporter posted on X , formerly Twitter. “Something to make this awful week a little better: We’re getting a Betty White stamp,” a pro-Harris X account posted. White combined a wholesome image with a flare for bawdy jokes . Her television career began in the early 1950s and exploded as she aged. “The only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party," Seth Meyers posted on Twitter after her death. "A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.” Allen Ludden and his wife Betty White, who love to play games, continue a two year gin rummy battle in which she's ahead by a cumulative 6,000 points in Westchester, N.Y. on April 29, 1965.

(The Center Square) - Entrepreneur Elon Musk filed for an injunction against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to keep the AI industry leader a non-profit. Musk’s motion alleges Microsoft and OpenAI are both blocking investments into xAI, his competing artificial intelligence company, and profiting from his early substantial funding and public support of OpenAI as a nonprofit. OpenAI maintains Musk sought to transform OpenAI into a for-profit company headed by Musk himself. Musk has long shared his fears about the possible danger artificial intelligence could pose to humanity, and supported OpenAI on the basis of his belief that the world’s leading AI firm should be dedicated to safety, transparency, and the public good. He has since launched xAI with the goal of surpassing OpenAI. Musk’s motion alleges OpenAI and Microsoft have violated antitrust laws, especially by allowing investment only by firms that vow to not invest in other AI companies, while profiting from technology developed when OpenAI was a Musk-bankrolled nonprofit. “Musk made absolutely clear that his donations—which established and sustained OpenAI, Inc. for years—were conditioned on Altman and [OpenAI President George] Brockman’s firm commitment to operate as a non-profit, devoted to the public good,” said the motion. The motion, filed in California, alleges Altman “approached Musk with a detailed plan to form an AI charity” and promised OpenAI would “remain a non-profit dedicated to the development and broad distribution of open and safe AI for the public benefit, not concentrated for shareholder profit.” The motion says Musk donated over $10 million to OpenAI based on Altman and Brockman’s promises. OpenAI then partnered with Microsoft to access the tech giant’s computing power, which led to large Microsoft ownership stakes in Altman’s for-profit enterprises, to which the motion says “he and Microsoft siphoned the non-profit’s staff and intellectual property,” which ultimately “transformed OpenAI into everything Altman promised Musk it would never be—a closed-source, for-profit monopoly, that rushes unsafe AI products to market, for private commercial gain.” Earlier this year, Microsoft acquired a 49% stake in the profits of OpenAI’s for-profit subsidiary for $13 billion. Musk’s motion says Microsoft and OpenAI now control 70% of the generative-AI market. OpenAI responded to the motion by referring to an earlier statement detailing its relationship with Musk, and said, “Elon’s fourth attempt, which again recycles the same baseless complaints, continues to be utterly without merit.” “In late 2017, we and Elon decided the next step for the mission was to create a for-profit entity,” wrote OpenAI. “Elon wanted majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO. In the middle of these discussions, he withheld funding.” “We couldn’t agree to terms on a for-profit with Elon because we felt it was against the mission for any individual to have absolute control over OpenAI,” continued OpenAI. In November 2023, OpenAI’s board of directors fired Altman, citing his conflicts of interest, leading hundreds of employees to say they would leave for Microsoft unless Altman were reinstated. The board members who ousted Altman then reinstated him and resigned, allowing Altman to install new board members.Misaka sa tower, maghikog unta

Jones alleges fraud and collusion marred the bankruptcy auction that resulted in The Onion being named the winning bidder over a company affiliated with him. A trustee overseeing the auction denies the allegations and accuses Jones of launching a smear campaign because he didn't like the outcome. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez had been scheduled to hear an emergency motion to disqualify The Onion's bid on Monday, but put it off until either Dec. 9 or Dec. 17. That's also when the judge will hear arguments on the trustee's request to approve the sale of Infowars to The Onion. Lopez said it made sense to have one hearing on both requests. “I want a fair and transparent process and let’s just see where the process goes," Lopez said. Lopez could ultimately allow The Onion to move forward with its purchase, order a new auction or name the other bidder as the winner. At stake is whether Jones gets to stay at Infowars’ studio in Austin, Texas, under a new owner friendly to him, or whether he gets kicked out by The Onion. The other bidder, First United American Companies, runs a website in Jones’ name that sells nutritional supplements. Jones continues to broadcast his show from the Infowars studio, but he has set up a new location, websites and social media accounts as a precaution. The trustee shut down the Austin studio and Infowars' websites for about 24 hours last week after The Onion was announced as the winning bidder, but allowed them to resume the next day, drawing more complaints from Jones. Jones declared bankruptcy and liquidated his assets after he was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. He was ordered to pay damages for defamation and emotional distress in lawsuits in Connecticut and Texas after he repeatedly said the 2012 shooting that killed 20 first graders and six educators was a hoax staged by actors to increase gun control. Proceeds from the liquidation are to go to Jones’ creditors, including the Sandy Hook families who sued him. Last year, Lopez ruled that $1.1 billion of the Sandy Hook judgments could not be discharged in the bankruptcy. On Monday, he denied a request from Sandy Hook families to make the full $1.5 billion not dischargeable, meaning the debt cannot be wiped clean. Also Monday, lawyers for the social media platform X objected to any sale of the accounts of both Jones and Infowars, saying X is the owner of the accounts and it has not given consent for them to be sold or transferred. Jones' personal X account, with 3.3 million followers, was not part of the auction, but Lopez will be deciding if it should be included in the liquidation. Jones has praised X owner Elon Musk on his show and suggested that Musk should buy Infowars. Musk has not responded publicly to that suggestion and was not among the bidders. Jones was permanently banned from Twitter in 2018 for abusive behavior, but Musk restored Jones’ account on the platform he has since renamed X in December last year. Jones alleges The Onion’s bid was the result of fraud and collusion involving many of the Sandy Hook families, the humor site and the court-appointed trustee. First United American Companies submitted a $3.5 million sealed bid, while The Onion offered $1.75 million in cash. But The Onion's bid also included a pledge by Sandy Hook families to forgo some or all of the auction proceeds due to them to give other creditors a total of $100,000 more than they would receive under other bids. The trustee, Christopher Murray, said that made The Onion's proposal better for creditors and he named it the winning bid. Jones and First United American Companies claimed that the bid violated Lopez’s rules for the auction by including multiple entities and lacking a valid dollar amount. Jones also alleged Murray improperly canceled an expected round of live bidding and only selected from among the two sealed bids that were submitted. Jones called the auction “rigged” and a “fraud” on his show, which airs on the Infowars website, radio stations and Jones' X account. He filed a counter lawsuit last week against Murray, The Onion's parent company and the Sandy Hook families in the bankruptcy court. In a court filing on Sunday, Murray called the allegations a “desperate attempt” to delay the sale of Infowars to The Onion and accused Jones, his lawyers and attorneys for First United American Companies of a “vicious smear campaign lobbing patently false accusations.” He also alleged Jones collaborated with First United American Companies to try to buy Infowars. Lopez’s September order on the auction procedures made a live bidding round optional. And it gave broad authority to Murray to conduct the sale, including the power to reject any bid, no matter how high, that was “contrary to the best interests” of Jones, his company and their creditors. The assets of Infowars' parent company, Free Speech Systems, that were up for sale included the Austin studio, Infowars' video archive, video production equipment, product trademarks, and Infowars' websites and social media accounts. Another auction of remaining assets is set for Dec. 10. Jones is appealing the $1.5 billion in judgments citing free speech rights, but has acknowledged that the school shooting happened . Many of Jones’ personal assets, including real estate, guns and other belongings, also are being sold as part of the bankruptcy. Documents filed in court this year say Jones had about $9 million in personal assets, while Free Speech Systems had about $6 million in cash and more than $1 million worth of inventory.

Leaders from the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, in partnership with Tourism Kelowna and Accelerate Okanagan, toured Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corporation and Accelerate Okanagan for a first-hand look at the technology and aerospace sectors. Familiarization tours are a staple in the tourism and hospitality space, says the RDCO, and provide elected officials and partners the opportunity to connect with sector leaders. “We learned how interconnected these businesses are in sharing knowledge and supporting one another to build a dynamic hub for innovation, talent and growth in these thriving industries," says Blair Ireland, chair of the RDCO board. During the tour, attendees gained insights into opportunities, challenges and the evolving landscape of these two sectors in the Central Okanagan. “Sharing the innovative work being done at AEM has been an invaluable experience," said Taylor Wylie, COO at Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing. "By working together, we can continue to strengthen AEM’s foundation of quality avionics solutions that are manufactured locally and distributed globally." The Central Okanagan’s technology sector plays a vital role in the regional economy, contributing nearly $3.01 billion annually, supporting 5,517 jobs across a diverse set of subsectors such as software as a service, artificial intelligence, animation and agritech. “As of 2023, 467 tech businesses operate in the Central Okanagan, creating substantial economic growth,” says Brea Lake, CEO of Accelerate Okanagan. “This sharing of insights and innovation within the community empowers our elected officials and community partners to offer meaningful support and advocacy for this vital sector.”
