Rice hails Lewis-Skelly: 'Like he was built in a lab'
Antetokounmpo sat out the Bucks' 106-103 NBA Cup victory at Miami on Tuesday. The two-time MVP had been listed as probable with tendinopathy in his right patellar tendon. “He's good,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers said before the game. Antetokounmpo entered Saturday as the league's leading scorer at 32.4 points per game. He ranked fifth in rebounds (11.9) and 20th in assists (6.4). AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba

December 28 - Eddie Lampkin and Donnie Freeman both turned in double-double performances as Syracuse snapped a two-game losing streak with a 75-63 win over Bucknell Saturday at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. Lampkin scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Freeman finished with 15 points and 11 boards as the Orange (6-6) improved to 11-1 all-time against the Bison (4-9). Jaquan Carlos chipped in 11 for Syracuse. Josh Bascoe was impressive in defeat, knocking down six 3-pointers and scoring 22 in all. Noah Williamson added 12 for the Bison, who dropped their seventh in a row but didn't go away quietly. Trailing 43-31 at the half, the Bison pulled within 48-43 after a dunk by Pip Ajayi with 14:13 left. That was as close as Bucknell would get, however, as it fell short in its bid for its first win over a power conference team since beating Vanderbilt 75-72 victory during the 2016-17 campaign. In the final nonleague game for both teams, Syracuse shook off a slow start with a 9-0 run ignited by a Lucas Taylor 3-pointer and capped with a layup by Freeman that put the Orange up 12-6 with 14:30 to go. The Orange led 17-12 with 11:23 to go after a 3-pointer by Elijah Moore, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Jayden Williams and Bascoe put the Bison on top 21-19 with 8:04 remaining. With Bucknell up 26-22, momentum shifted in Syracuse's favor on the strength of a 16-2 run, highlighted by Freeman's 3-pointer that gave the Orange their first double-digit lead at 38-28 with 1:49 to play in the half. Freeman hit another shot from distance with seven seconds left, shooting over a defender from well beyond the line and extending the lead to 43-31. He high-fived teammates as he came off the court. His bucket was one of six 3-pointers Syracuse connected on in the opening half while shooting 57.6 percent (17-of-30) from the field. The Orange outscored the Bison 18-3 over the final 5:39, limiting Bucknell to only one field goal. --Field Level Media Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tabWaiting for a tram, crossing a road or catching a bus around Greater Manchester is something millions of people do across the region every day. It is part of everyday life for many, as they use the thousands of roads and complex transport network to get from A to B. But there is a little-known team of people who, for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, watch over the mammoth operation. The Manchester Evening News was invited inside the huge new control room at Transport for Greater Manchester's headquarters. A hive of activity; hundreds of staff keep a close eye on the region's transport network and make sure everything 'runs like clockwork'. READ MORE The AI camera images shaming motorists on mobile phones or without seatbelts on It's no small feat. A variety of teams, including police, the Travel Safe Partnership, network intelligence, a resilience team and a drone unit among others, operate from the control room. There are over 40 screens, with live, real-time feeds from around 4,000 stationary cameras covering movement on major roads, tram stations, bus stops and busy areas in Manchester city centre and beyond. All new buses are also fitted with hundreds of HD cameras, with trams also fitted out with the surveillance equipment. It's a hub of activity inside the Operation Control Centre (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) But the job is more than just keeping an eye on the seamless movement of millions of people and keeping them safe. Specialist equipment allows staff to use mobile phone data to track who is travelling and where from, utilise AI systems and flying drones to improve roads, and collate intricate data to prepare for the future and manage huge influxes of people heading into the city region. In short - there is always somebody watching. An omnipresent team of people working around the clock. As Control Centre Manager Luke Rodger said: "We are a team of hidden angels that nobody knows is there... smoke is coming off our fingers trying to keep our city moving." Intelligence teams track crime incidents across the network to identify trends and how best to target them. The M.E.N was told how incidents involving young people peak in the winter months and after dark. There is a particular focus on this during the festive period, with nine million people expected to attend the city's huge Christmas Markets. There have been 'persistent issues' at Stockport's new interchange and also in Bury . This data can be passed on to partners, including police, for various tactics to be implemented to tackle growing issues. They are even able to tap into mobile phone data, working with BT and EE, to determine which cohorts of people are travelling across Manchester; where they have come from, how old they are and what gender they are. There is a science to it. David Atkin, Analysis and Reporting Manager, said this can be used to 'help improve service delivery for events'. The insights into demographics travelling to the Etihad, Co-op Live and the city centre can help to 'inform service provision' and 'shape customer messaging ahead of future events'. David Atkin, Analysis and Reporting Manager speaks to reporter James Holt (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) Congestion, an increasing problem clogging up the roads around Greater Manchester, is a top priority. Between 2012 and 2022, the number of cars on the roads in the region increased by 41 per cent, from 1.06 million to 1.46 million. Aside from live cameras, TfGM have also begun using drones. It follows in the footsteps of Transport for West Midlands, who recently won a National Transport Award for the use of their congestion-busting flying devices. Drone cameras can be used to assess the region's roads (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) They are used to give a more accurate, wide-angled view of busy roads and quickly seek the root of the problem. Whether that be queues in entering or leaving a car park, a broken down vehicle or faulty traffic lights, they allow specialist teams to get out on the ground and conduct traffic management procedures to curb the problem. Urban Traffic Control have overseen the rollout of AI and 5G technology. This can be used at smart junctions, which use artificial intelligence to improve traffic signal control efficiency by reducing waiting times at signals, which in turn reduces journey times and cuts pollution. Specialist AI technology is also being rolled out (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) David Watts, senior engineer, revealed how specialist cameras identify in real time whether road users are in cars, buses or are walking or cycling. It creates a digital map of people's journeys, and can identify incident hotspots. It also can inform where is best to implement the likes of bus lanes, traffic lights or crossings. In some areas, delays and cancellations are the norm, and inner-city traffic jams have become an accepted part of life. Working with AI traffic monitoring firm VivaCity, TfGM has now installed over 100 camera sensors at junctions across Manchester to gain deeper travel data insights into the city. There are over 4,000 cameras across the region's network (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) While existing sensors are able to detect when an object moves across them, the cohort of new cameras uses AI and machine learning to identify the exact type of object, such as a bike, car, lorry, or pedestrian, and then communicate with each other via a 5G network. The AI capabilities don't stop there. The Ma nchester Evening News revealed in September new AI cameras that can detect whether drivers are on their mobile phone or not wearing a seat belt were being rolled out on highways across Greater Manchester. It forms as part of the region's 'Vision Zero' initiative - which aims to eliminate road death and life-changing injury by 2040, with 50 per cent reduction by the end of the decade. A recent trial of the new technology revealed how a total of 3,205 drivers or passengers were caught out on Greater Manchester roads over a five-week period using their phones or failing to wear a seatbelt. The 'Heads Up' technology captures footage of passing vehicles, which is then run through artificial intelligence (AI) to detect whether drivers are breaking the law. It is then examined by a human to confirm that the software is correct, and that an offence has been committed. Shaming CCTV images of drivers on mobile phones behind the wheel and without seatbelts on have been released (Image: Acusensus/AECOM) During the deployment, the system recorded 812 drivers using mobile phones behind the wheel, and 2,393 incidents of people not wearing seatbelts in cars. Elsewhere, a technological road model is assessed by the Transport Planning teams. Software essentially mimics the way Greater Manchester's 6,000 miles of roads are used - creating a predictive image of how motorists use the roads and how this could change in the future. The data is collated to provide recommendations on planning applications, advising local authorities and changes to road layouts, bus lanes and crossings. The Christmas Markets is just one operation that takes months of planning. Ben Cookson, senior control centre manager, revealed how a dedicated channel is set up for the festive period for transport teams and emergency crews to communicate with one another. The wall of screens providing real-time updates from cameras in the control room (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) Specialist shifts are introduced to keep 'a close eye on city congestion' - making sure trams and buses are running on time to transport over nine million extra people visiting the area. It also gives teams the ability to keep an eye on people travelling into the city from Greater Manchester boroughs and beyond, with incidents more likely and stations and services much busier than normal. Teams even have control over all traffic signals. They don't just go from red to green at repeated intervals. At peak times when there are queues of traffic, the press of a button can keep lights on red or green for longer and keep traffic moving. They too have connections with the 999 emergency network and can send alerts about roadworks and road closures for incidents or repairs, diverting bus routes and notifying motorists about real-time alerts. Cameras at interchanges and stations are in place for the purpose of recording crime and safety. "We monitor the entire network," Ben explained. "From traffic signals, to the Metrolink , safety and security on buses and our interchanges. "We can use it to manage disruptions. We have access to over 4,000 cameras across Greater Manchester. We monitor it constantly to see the impact around the network. The busy corridors into Manchester are the key areas of focus. When something goes wrong, it all comes into here." That is why, on busy weekends with major events happening across the city, action is taken in advance to make sure the movement of people can remain as seamless as possible. TfGM regularly issue public updates about increased frequency in services and alternate timetables. The latest of these was issued on Wednesday (November 20) ahead of the following weekend, warning of two football games coinciding with major events at the Co-op Live Arena. And despite the regeneration of the bus network, Stagecoach and Go North West teams work together alongside the Bee Network teams. Looking over the wall of live camera screens, Steven Delaney and his team regularly assess the punctuality of services and make real-time changes. There are frustrations when bus services around the region are delayed - but they don't go unnoticed. It's a 24 hour operation at the TfGM headquarters (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) Live updates into the control room show how ahead or behind the hundreds of services are running. They too can change the frequency of traffic lights, divert routes and liaise directly with drivers on the ground, in real-time, to resolve incidents within a matter of minutes. During the M.E.N's visit, a man was hit by a car along Chester Road in Stretford . A lane closure, causing congestion and delays to buses using the busy route, are instantly identified. Updates are provided to travellers on social media and by the Bee Network apps. "We have access to thousands of cameras, all in live time," Steven said. "We can see where there are regular problems at busy junctions or routes and can see any impacts on buses, to relay that information to the public." TfGM said: "The Operational Control Centre (OCC) is the incident management centre for TfGM and plays a key tactical command role in the day to day operations and delivery of the Bee Network. Their main responsibility is to ensure our networks are safe and reliable, and that our public transport offering provides people with access to work or leisure opportunities, helping Greater Manchester to thrive. "With all incidents the OCC aim to minimise the impact on customers travelling across our networks, ensuring they have access to clear travel advice and where necessary we can support passengers by activating ticket acceptance on alternative transport modes such as buses or trams. "On average the OCC deal with around 300 disruptive incidents across our network every week as well supporting major events, such as the Christmas markets, to ensure that our customers have a positive experience which will help us grow patronage and provide an integrated transport network that supports the long term economic growth across our region."
Saquon Barkley ninth player with 2,000-yard rushing seasonFranco Colapinto ’s commercial appeal could be the key to landing the 21-year-old a drive alongside Max Verstappen for the 2025 campaign. The Argentinian racer is battling Liam Lawson , Yuki Tsunoda and Sergio Perez for the final Red Bull seat. Earlier this summer, Colapinto was a relative unknown to casual F1 fans, but after scoring points in two of his first four races on the grid since replacing Logan Sargeant , his stock has boomed in the paddock. Williams have already secured their 2025 line-up with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon , so Colapinto is looking elsewhere for a full-time opportunity. The Red Bull system looks like his most likely landing spot, and according to reports, Christian Horner is weighing up throwing him straight into the deep end. If he is to secure a Red Bull seat for 2025, sponsorship could play a major role. Colapinto has captured the hearts of Argentina’s passionate and vast motorsport fanbase, and with this has come significant commercial gains for Williams and unprecedented social media interaction. This is a major advantage he has over Lawson and Tsunoda. For the Latin American leg of the season, the Williams cars were adorned with striking yellow panels after a partnership was reached with e-commerce giant Mercado Libre back in August, following Colapinto’s arrival. Some reports state that Carlos Slim - formerly the richest man in the world, and current backer of Perez - is interested in discussing financial support for Colapinto. This would no doubt be appealing to Red Bull , who already benefit from Checo’s vast array of sponsors. “If there was an opportunity to talk about something with Franco, it would not be anything related to Checo,” Slim told ESPN when asked about the reports. “We always seek to support Latin American drivers, Franco is doing very well. “But without a doubt, our important project has always been to continue building the development of Mexican drivers and Checo, without a doubt, is the one who represents us all.” Verstappen wouldn’t mind teaming up with the Pilar-based racer either. “I don’t know,” the three-time world champion said when asked about a possible link-up. “It’s a bit difficult for me to answer. I’m busy with other things to improve. “He’s doing a great job at the moment in Formula One, so that’s great to see. I understand, of course, that it’s very attractive for a lot of teams to have him, so it’s up to the team also to see what they want to do.”Nigerians Nominate Obaseki For ThisDay ‘Governor Of The Year’ Award

Afega makes new push on land dispute with Leauva’a despite court orderDonald Trump has named billionaire investment banker Warren Stephens as his ambassador to the UK . In a message on his Truth Social platform, the president-elect described the banker as “one of the most successful businessmen in the country” before describing the UK as among its “most cherished and beloved Allies”. Mr Stephens, 67, is a Republican donor who previously campaigned against Mr Trump, before financially backing him at this year’s election. It is a prestigious posting for the Republican donor who has no experience in government but whose contributions this year included $2 million (£1.6 million) to a Trump-backing super PAC donations vehicle. He will replace Jane Hartley, the current ambassador to the UK appointed by Joe Biden, after Mr Trump’s inauguration in January. The Senate is required to confirm the choice. Mr Trump wrote: “I am pleased to announce that Warren A Stephens, one of the most successful businessmen in the country, has been nominated to serve as the United States Ambassador to the Court of St James’s, a role in which he will act as our representative to the United Kingdom. “Over the last 38 years, while serving as the president, chairman, and CEO of his company, Stephens Inc, Warren has built a wonderful financial services firm, while selflessly giving back to his community as a philanthropist. “Warren has always dreamed of serving the United States full time. I am thrilled that he will now have that opportunity as the top diplomat, representing the USA to one of America’s most cherished and beloved allies.” Mr Stephens is the chairman, president and CEO of Little Rock, Arkansas-based financial services firm Stephens Inc., having taken over the firm from his father. Mr Trump has already named many of his nominees for his Cabinet and high-profile diplomatic posts, assembling a roster of staunch loyalists. Over the weekend, Trump announced he intends to nominate real estate developer Charles Kushner, father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France. During his first term, Mr Trump selected Robert “Woody” Johnson, a contributor to his campaign and the owner of the New York Jets football team, as his representative to the United Kingdom.Josh Allen passed for two touchdowns and rushed for one more as the Buffalo Bills clobbered the New York Jets 40-14 on Sunday afternoon in Orchard Park, N.Y. The Bills clinched the No. 2 seed in the AFC with the victory. Allen was showered with "M-V-P" chants after putting the game away with a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes -- a 30-yard connection with Amari Cooper and a 14-yard strike to a leaping Keon Coleman with 12 seconds left in the frame. Those scores sandwiched a 1-yard touchdown run by James Cook. Buffalo (13-3) took a 33-0 lead into the fourth quarter thanks to its 21-point third. Allen, who turned things over to backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky for the final 15 minutes, finished with 182 yards on 16-for-27 passing. Trubisky hit Tyrell Shavers for a 69-yard TD on his first pass of the contest to make it 40-0 with 12:37 to go. It marked Shavers' first career catch. The Bills' defense was in the spotlight just as much as Allen, forcing three turnovers and racking up four sacks. Aaron Rodgers struggled under center for New York (4-12), completing 12 of 18 passes for 112 yards. He was picked off twice. Second-string signal-caller Tyrod Taylor broke the shutout with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson with 6:59 left in the game. The Jets proceeded to convert a two-point try to trim their deficit to 40-8. Wilson hauled in seven receptions for 66 yards and the TD. Tyler Conklin grabbed a 20-yard touchdown with 1:55 remaining to complete the scoring. Taylor ended up with 83 yards and the two TDs on 11-of-14 passing. A.J. Epenesa gave the Bills a boost just before the break, sacking Rodgers for a safety that put Buffalo up 9-0 with 2:31 remaining in the second quarter. Tyler Bass extended the Bills' lead with a 39-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. The teams combined for five penalties on the game's first drive, with a 5-yard defensive pass interference call setting Buffalo up at the Jets 1. Allen then got pushed into the end zone for his franchise-record-tying 65th rushing touchdown. --Field Level Media
