TROY, N.Y. — The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Engineers (5-5-1) men’s hockey team faced a tall task as they hosted the No. 5 University of Maine Black Bears (9-2-2) at Houston Field House on Saturday afternoon in Troy. In the first of a two-game set, the Black Bears slowly built up a lead and busted it open in the third period for a 6-0 victory. The Black Bears opened the scoring at the 9:37 mark of the first frame. Sophomore forward Charlie Russell, from Owen Fowler and Lynden Breen, made it 1-0. Speaking of Breen, the graduate student forward had quite [...]Tom Brady reportedly helped Michigan land 5-star QB Bryce UnderwoodWASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith moved to abandon two criminal cases against Donald Trump on Monday, acknowledging that Trump’s return to the White House will preclude attempts to federally prosecute him for retaining classified documents or trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat. The decision was inevitable, since longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. Yet it was still a momentous finale to an unprecedented chapter in political and law enforcement history, as federal officials attempted to hold accountable a former president while he was simultaneously running for another term. Trump emerges indisputably victorious, having successfully delayed the investigations through legal maneuvers and then winning reelection despite indictments that described his actions as a threat to the country's constitutional foundations. “I persevered, against all odds, and WON," Trump exulted in a post on Truth Social, his social media website. He also said that “these cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought.” The judge in the election case granted prosecutors' dismissal request. A decision in the documents case was still pending on Monday evening. The outcome makes it clear that, when it comes to a president and criminal accusations, nothing supersedes the voters' own verdict. In court filings, Smith's team emphasized that the move to end their prosecutions was not a reflection of the merit of the cases but a recognition of the legal shield that surrounds any commander in chief. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” prosecutors said in one of their filings. They wrote that Trump’s return to the White House “sets at odds two fundamental and compelling national interests: on the one hand, the Constitution’s requirement that the President must not be unduly encumbered in fulfilling his weighty responsibilities . . . and on the other hand, the Nation’s commitment to the rule of law.” In this situation, “the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” they concluded. Smith’s team said it was leaving intact charges against two co-defendants in the classified documents case — Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira — because “no principle of temporary immunity applies to them.” Steven Cheung, Trump's incoming White House communications director, said Americans “want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country.” Trump has long described the investigations as politically motivated, and he has vowed to fire Smith as soon as he takes office in January. Now he will start his second term free from criminal scrutiny by the government that he will lead. The election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing Trump as he tried to reclaim the White House. He was indicted for plotting to overturn his defeat to Joe Biden in 2020, an effort that climaxed with his supporters' violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But the case quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Smith’s team in October filed a lengthy brief laying out new evidence it planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will of voters after he lost to Biden. In dismissing the case, Chutkan acknowledged prosecutors' request to do so “without prejudice,” raising the possibility that they could try to bring charges against Trump when his term is over. She wrote that is “consistent with the Government’s understanding that the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office.” But such a move may be barred by the statute of limitations, and Trump may also try to pardon himself while in office. The separate case involving classified documents had been widely seen as legally clear cut, especially because the conduct in question occurred after Trump left the White House and lost the powers of the presidency. The indictment included dozens of felony counts accusing him of illegally hoarding classified records from his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and obstructing federal efforts to get them back. He has pleaded not guilty and denied wrongdoing. The case quickly became snarled by delays, with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon slow to issue rulings — which favored Trump’s strategy of pushing off deadlines in all his criminal cases — while also entertaining defense motions and arguments that experts said other judges would have dispensed with without hearings. In May, she indefinitely canceled the trial date amid a series of unresolved legal issues before dismissing the case outright two months later. Smith’s team appealed the decision, but now has given up that effort. Trump faced two other state prosecutions while running for president. One of them, a New York case involving hush money payments, resulted in a conviction on felony charges of falsifying business records. It was the first time a former president had been found guilty of a crime. The sentencing in that case is on hold as Trump's lawyers try to have the conviction dismissed before he takes office, arguing that letting the verdict stand will interfere with his presidential transition and duties. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office is fighting the dismissal but has indicated that it would be open to delaying sentencing until Trump leaves office. Bragg, a Democrat, has said the solution needs to balance the obligations of the presidency with “the sanctity of the jury verdict." Trump was also indicted in Georgia along with 18 others accused of participating in a sprawling scheme to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election there. Any trial appears unlikely there while Trump holds office. The prosecution already was on hold after an appeals court agreed to review whether to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she had hired to lead the case. Four defendants have pleaded guilty after reaching deals with prosecutors. Trump and the others have pleaded not guilty. Associated Press writers Colleen Long, Michael Sisak and Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this story.
A 31-year-old man has been charged with murder after a married couple were found dead at their burger shop at Cambridge Park in Sydney's west on Saturday. Police said the man will appear in court on Sunday following the alleged murders of Hoa Tek Cien, 69, and Heang Kim Gau, 68. In a statement, police said emergency services were called to the couple's shop on Oxford Street about 9.40am following reports of an assault. Officers attended the scene and found the bodies of the man and the woman. Following inquiries, the 31-year-old was arrested shortly after midnight, about 12.30am, at a home in Canley Heights, western Sydney. "He was taken to Fairfield Police Station where he was charged with two counts of murder (DV)," the police statement said. The man was refused bail and will appear before Parramatta Local Court later on Sunday. Police will allege in court the three people were known to each other. The murdered couple owned their shop, Buzzy Bee’s Burger House, for decades and were well-liked in their community. A police spokesperson said their son discovered their bodies and called police, describing the "confronting" murder scene and the "significant injuries" dealt to his parents. A spokesperson said the family were "obviously devastated" and were assisting police. Detectives investigating the case were also looking into social media footage which showed a man dressed in black who had been seen on the roof of the shops.
By Daily Trust Bishop Matthew Kukah, Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese, has said President Bola Tinubu and his predecessors were not ready when they found themselves in governance. Kukah, who lamented that the key element missing in Nigerian leadership is knowledge, said the president and past heads of state and leaders found themselves in power by accident. He said their actions and activities had shown that none of them was fully prepared before assumption of office. The bishop spoke on Sunday in a keynote address at the official commissioning of Start-Rite School’s new building and the 4th Amaka Ndoma-Egba Memorial Lecture in Abuja. Oshiomhole mourns as oldest Catholic Priest dies in Edo Dangote Refinery reduces PMS Price ‘to thank Nigerians’ Giving a chronicle of their leadership trajectory, the bishop said, “Almost every leader who came to power in Nigeria did so as a result of one accident or another. “President Tinubu, who said he was prepared for the role, is struggling. We are still trying to get off the ground. He took over from Buhari, who had already given up. “Buhari succeeded Jonathan, who thought he would retire after being deputy governor, but circumstances thrust him into power. Jonathan succeeded Yar’Adua, who had planned to return to teaching at Ahmadu Bello University after his governorship. “Yar’Adua, in turn, succeeded Obasanjo, who was unexpectedly released from prison to become president. Obasanjo took over after Abacha, who was being positioned by five political parties to rule indefinitely until nature intervened. “Abacha succeeded Shonekan, who was a business executive at UAC before being called to serve as Head of State. We can go on and on, but the fundamental issue in governance is knowledge. Leaders need a deep understanding of their environment.” According to him, though the world has changed, the expectations of leadership have not. Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa stressed the importance of instilling leadership qualities at an early age. Marwa attributed the country’s struggles with various societal vices to failures in leadership and accountability.

(AP) — Elijah Howard ran for 110 yards and scored two touchdowns, the Central Connecticut defense made seven interceptions, and the Blue Devils beat Duquesne 21-14 on Saturday to claim the Northeast Conference’s automatic bid to the FCS playoffs. Howard provided the game-winning score by running it in from the 6, then threw the 2-point conversion to quarterback Brady Olson to cap the scoring with 13:44 left in the fourth quarter. The defense for the Blue Devils (7-5, 5-1) sealed the game when it stymied the Dukes (8-3, 5-1) on their final three possessions. Following Central Connecticut’s last touchdown, Jalen Howard sacked Darius Perrantes on Duquesne’s first play and forced a fumble which the Blue Devils recovered. Central Connecticut failed to add to the lead when Jack Barnum missed a 40-yard field, but Duquesne turned it back over when Perrantes threw an end zone pick. The Blue Devils punted after six plays, but again, Duquesne saw another drive end with a Perrantes interception. Perrantes threw seven interceptions with three going to Christopher Jean, a pair to Davone Walden Jr. and one each to Deon McLean and Vincent Thomas. Duquesne secured at least a share of the NEC title for a conference record seventh time in program history with last week’s win over Wagner. It was the second straight year the Dukes played a winner-take-all game for the NEC automatic bid on the road in the final week of the regular season. Last year they beat Merrimack 26-14 to win the NEC title outright. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

This holiday season there will be no devastating political discussion at our dinner table. My father, the only one of my family members who may have voted red, has been gone for almost 20 years now. When I was young, my dad said he wanted to be a school bus driver when he retired. The kids in my neighborhood were truly terrible to our bus driver, and I worried for him about this. When I adopted my own (now debunked) dream to become a veterinarian, I was pleased when he vowed to become my assistant instead. He always said he would “put the dogs up on the table” for me, as if this was a veterinary assistant’s only duty. I never got a chance to find out what his retirement would have looked like. He had a heart attack on the basketball court when I was 15 — he was 54 — and died suddenly. Sometimes I imagine that he is driving a bus full of heavenly dogs right now, that he lifts tenderly into their seats. Because of his death, I can keep on loving him only exactly this way, as a dog lifter and bus driver. Since he was a fiscally conservative Republican in life, I don’t know if my dad would have voted for Donald Trump. For this I have a complicated gratitude that I can never forgive our 45th president for. I loved my father fiercely. To have any reason at all to not want him back fills me with a stew of shame. My dad was a patriotic individual in a '90s way, earnestly believing America was the greatest nation on Earth, reminding us often how lucky we were to live here. He was a trivia and history buff who loved even the smallest, dustiest historical museum and who almost made it on to Jeopardy! (if only he’d known the main ingredient in guacamole). On a cross-country roadtrip from Colorado to Dad’s hometown in New York my parents took my sister and I on, we were forced to stop at every state capital, place of interest, or memorial site. Where my mom read fiction voraciously, the books I remember on his nightstand were war histories, biographies of former Yankees players, and The Art of the Deal . I’m grateful I don’t know much about my father’s feelings toward Trump aside from that he liked that book and admired him as a real estate mogul, Dad having been a realtor himself. Trump was a different figure then, someone we knew from his name on buildings and his cameo in Home Alone 2 . I can’t imagine my father would be happy with someone with no political background running for president — but that’s the thing, I can only imagine. The author's father as a child in the '50s. I believe he would’ve been tormented by his presidential choices in the last few elections, but ultimately, he would have voted as he took the civic duty of an American citizen seriously. I’ll just never know for sure who he would’ve voted for in 2016 or 2024. Like others, I was physically ill the morning after the most recent election, a nervous nausea amplified over the following week by the growing misogyny online, and Trump’s dystopian video promises for his upcoming term. Almost 35, should I be lucky enough to have a second child, my next pregnancy will be considered geriatric, my risk of miscarriage growing with time. This is only one reason I’ve been haunted by the women dying because they cannot receive proper reproductive healthcare. With a daughter who I’ll soon enroll in school, I’m terrified over our lack of gun control. I’m worried sick about my queer and trans friends whose identity Trump hopes to erase. I’m nervous for my mom and stepdad who will need Medicare soon. I’m anxious for what will become of the many immigrants in my life. I’m particularly devastated by the message Trump and his champions deliver to women, especially young girls: You do not matter . But at least, as I discussed white elephant rules and drafted a Thanksgiving menu with my family, I wasn’t nervous to enjoy the holidays with them. If my father had voted for Trump, especially this time around, I don’t know if I could have ever forgiven him. Examples of relationships ending because of Trump are plentiful, specking the internet and each of our own lives. I became so upset with one friend for voting for him the first time, our last dinner ended in tears. We haven’t seen each other since. Another friend of mine stopped speaking to her aunt after a fight over vaccinations. The next thing my friend knew, she was attending her funeral, her aunt an unfortunate COVID fatality. Yet another friend of mine hasn’t spoken to her father since 2017. In the early 2000s my mom and aunt, both Democrats, would trade gag gifts with my dad. Toilet paper with George W. Bush’s face on it or a crude birthday card of Bill Clinton playing sax in the nude. They would all laugh, my Dad hardest of all, sometimes until he cried, dragging his big mitt of a hand over his face as if it’d been sprayed with snow. They’d push each other’s buttons at the dinner table, usually conceding to a good point or two, and we’d move on to passing a plate of cannoli and playing a rousing game of Taboo. This was the America I grew up in, the America I was promised. Trump took that away. Right after the election, I “unfriended” the last one of the boys I used to ride the bus with who I was still connected to on Facebook. He’d posted a “your body, my choice” meme to his wall. That boy was picked up at the stop right after mine to be taken to middle school. He and the other boys in his group would push other kids’ heads as they stormed to the back of the bus yelling obscenities, launching spitballs, and lighting seats on fire so the whole bus filled with the smell of burning rubber and sometimes hair when they got bored and moved on to flicking their lighters at each other’s knees and heads. We went through five bus drivers in one year, no one able to withstand their unruliness. Dad ended up driving me to a stop on a different bus route in the morning. This wasn’t the America he remembered as a kid, the America that made him want to be a bus driver. The kids who lit the bus on fire grew up to be a different kind of Republican than Dad remembers, too. My dad’s hometown of Rochester, New York reeks of Americana. His parents were the first inhabitants of their little house there in the early '50s and were very proud to provide a life to go with it — an American dream. My grandfather worked hard for the US post office, my grandmother was a homemaker, and my dad and his brother enjoyed an idyllic childhood riding bikes, getting donuts after church, and even holding an annual presidential election for their favorite bears. According to his younger brother, Dad’s bear always won. When I went back to Rochester to reconnect with family last year, I drove past his childhood home and found the neighborhood looking shabbier than before, surrounded by strip malls and chain-link fences. On the front lawn of his old house was a big truck, another in the driveway. The new owner’s hat was red. This scared me, like my electric vehicle seemed to scare him. We connected over the old America, when he recognized my last name. “LaBue,” he said with a big grin, “of course!” This recognition was a little slice of the way life used to be. He let me take some pictures in front of his house, and I imagine we both thought of how much things have changed. The author, 19 weeks pregnant, visits her father's childhood home. The current owner moved his second truck off the lawn so that Sammi could take this picture. Every Christmas since losing my dad has felt emptier than my first 15 Christmases. Once you lose a parent young, you can never go back to the fullness of a holiday as a kid. My mom and sister and I have always tried, building new traditions, keeping up the old, and showering each other in presents. My niece, nephew, and daughter have made it better — getting to experience it through the eyes of Dad’s grandchildren. Now I also have this complicated gratitude. Not knowing what my dad thinks of my career, my daughter, even the Yankees’ performance in the World Series will always give me a kind of windless sock to my stomach. But another type of wondering evokes a different emotion: Would my dad worry about my rights and those of my daughter like I worried about him becoming a bus driver? Would he protect me from the kid on the bus like I tried to protect him? This type of not knowing is a relief. Now I get to decide that he would. Now I get to picture how he would fit into this future. I imagine that just as he wanted to carry the burdensome weight of the dogs at my veterinary practice, he would want to help carry the load of these burdens, too.

AP News Summary at 4:42 p.m. EST
Franklin Resources Inc. stock rises Thursday, still underperforms marketMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With Penn State's strong push for a spot in the College Football Playoff still a couple of wins from completion, the biggest roadblock to a bid for the Nittany Lions in this favorable final third of their schedule has appeared with a trip to Minnesota . That's why this week, naturally, is too early for them to talk about making the inaugural 12-team tournament — as enticing as their prospects might be. “I think the quality of teams that we go in and play each week speaks for itself,” quarterback Drew Allar said. "But as far as rankings, it doesn’t really matter until it matters.” Penn State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) is fourth in both the AP poll and the CFP rankings this week, needing help for a long-shot hope of reaching the Big Ten title game because of a loss to now-No. 2 Ohio State on Nov. 2. In this new era of playoff expansion, the Nittany Lions are on firm footing for an at-large bid. Lose to the unranked Gophers (6-4, 4-3), however, and that ground could become shaky given the current collection of standout two-loss teams in the SEC. In case the Nittany Lions needed proof of the danger of letting focus diverge, coach James Franklin and his staff can call up the tape from Nov. 9, 2019. That's when an undefeated Penn State team came to Minnesota and lost 31-26 . The Nittany Lions lost again at Ohio State two weeks later and finished 11-2, one of several not-quite performances for this storied program that last went unbeaten in 1994 and hasn't been recognized as national champions since 1986. The Gophers were undefeated themselves after that game before losses to rivals Iowa and Wisconsin ended their Rose Bowl quest. This team isn't on that level of talent and success from five years ago, but the chemistry has been off the charts. Coach P.J. Fleck drew attention to some of the individual standout performances that fueled the signature victory in 2019 in meetings with players this week. “We need our best playmakers to play their best. Penn State’s going to need their playmakers to be their best. That’s what happens in November,” Fleck said. Tyler Warren has already shattered nearly every record for Penn State tight ends. The do-it-all senior become such a force his teammates insist he’s worthy of the Heisman Trophy, tracking toward the top of the NFL draft board for his position next spring. “He’s the best tight end in America, but he’s also the most complete tight end in America," Allar said. Warren is coming off a 190-yard performance at Purdue that included 63 yards on three rushes and 127 yards on eight receptions. “He has the ability to take a play that should be 2 or 3 yards and turn it into 30 or 40,” Gophers defensive end Danny Striggow said. Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter has 171⁄2 tackles for loss, the second-most in the FBS, and eight sacks to match the third-most in the Big Ten. He has a challenging matchup this week with Minnesota left tackle Aireontae Ersery across from him in a battle of projected first-round NFL draft picks. Gophers coaches told Striggow and his fellow defensive linemen a couple of seasons ago to relish the opportunity to face Ersery in practice. “That’s one of the best looks in the country that you’re going to get,” Striggow said. Carter has successfully made the transition from linebacker this season. “He is impacting the game in a number of ways, which creates opportunities for other guys on our defensive line and within our defense and causes a lot of headaches,” Franklin said. “He is becoming more and more of a leader every single day.” Allar and the Nittany Lions have paid particular attention to protecting the ball this week, given the Gophers have 16 interceptions, one short of the national lead. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar feels he’ll need to be especially accurate this weekend considering Minnesota has 16 interceptions on the season. “We’re just going to have to be disciplined and stick to our game plan,” Allar said. The Gophers have a strong group of departing players who will take the field at Huntington Bank Stadium for the final time, including Ersery, quarterback Max Brosmer, wide receiver Daniel Jackson, right guard Quinn Carroll, cornerback Justin Walley, kicker Dragan Kesich and Striggow. “It’s been good to reflect, but it’s not over yet," Striggow said. "Those short windows of reflection, I cut ’em out and then say, ‘We’ve got some more memories to make.’” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

The decision was inevitable, since longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. Yet it was still a momentous finale to an unprecedented chapter in political and law enforcement history, as federal officials attempted to hold accountable a former president while he was simultaneously running for another term. Trump emerges indisputably victorious, having successfully delayed the investigations through legal maneuvers and then winning reelection despite indictments that described his actions as a threat to the country's constitutional foundations. “I persevered, against all odds, and WON," Trump exulted in a post on Truth Social, his social media website. He also said that “these cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought.” The judge in the election case granted prosecutors' dismissal request. A decision in the documents case was still pending on Monday evening. The outcome makes it clear that, when it comes to a president and criminal accusations, nothing supersedes the voters' own verdict. In court filings, Smith's team emphasized that the move to end their prosecutions was not a reflection of the merit of the cases but a recognition of the legal shield that surrounds any commander in chief. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” prosecutors said in one of their filings. They wrote that Trump’s return to the White House “sets at odds two fundamental and compelling national interests: on the one hand, the Constitution’s requirement that the President must not be unduly encumbered in fulfilling his weighty responsibilities . . . and on the other hand, the Nation’s commitment to the rule of law.” In this situation, “the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” they concluded. Smith’s team said it was leaving intact charges against two co-defendants in the classified documents case — Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira — because “no principle of temporary immunity applies to them.” Steven Cheung, Trump's incoming White House communications director, said Americans “want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country.” Trump has long described the investigations as politically motivated, and he has vowed to fire Smith as soon as he takes office in January. Now he will start his second term free from criminal scrutiny by the government that he will lead. The election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing Trump as he tried to reclaim the White House. He was indicted for plotting to overturn his defeat to Joe Biden in 2020, an effort that climaxed with his supporters' violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But the case quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Smith’s team in October filed a lengthy brief laying out new evidence it planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will of voters after he lost to Biden. In dismissing the case, Chutkan acknowledged prosecutors' request to do so “without prejudice,” raising the possibility that they could try to bring charges against Trump when his term is over. She wrote that is “consistent with the Government’s understanding that the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office.” But such a move may be barred by the statute of limitations, and Trump may also try to pardon himself while in office. The separate case involving classified documents had been widely seen as legally clear cut, especially because the conduct in question occurred after Trump left the White House and lost the powers of the presidency. The indictment included dozens of felony counts accusing him of illegally hoarding classified records from his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and obstructing federal efforts to get them back. He has pleaded not guilty and denied wrongdoing. The case quickly became snarled by delays, with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon slow to issue rulings — which favored Trump’s strategy of pushing off deadlines in all his criminal cases — while also entertaining defense motions and arguments that experts said other judges would have dispensed with without hearings. In May, she indefinitely canceled the trial date amid a series of unresolved legal issues before dismissing the case outright two months later. Smith’s team appealed the decision, but now has given up that effort. Trump faced two other state prosecutions while running for president. One of them, a New York case involving hush money payments, resulted in a conviction on felony charges of falsifying business records. It was the first time a former president had been found guilty of a crime. The sentencing in that case is on hold as Trump's lawyers try to have the conviction dismissed before he takes office, arguing that letting the verdict stand will interfere with his presidential transition and duties. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office is fighting the dismissal but has indicated that it would be open to delaying sentencing until Trump leaves office. Bragg, a Democrat, has said the solution needs to balance the obligations of the presidency with “the sanctity of the jury verdict." Trump was also indicted in Georgia along with 18 others accused of participating in a sprawling scheme to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election there. Any trial appears unlikely there while Trump holds office. The prosecution already was on hold after an appeals court agreed to review whether to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she had hired to lead the case. Four defendants have pleaded guilty after reaching deals with prosecutors. Trump and the others have pleaded not guilty.

The panel in your next monitor, and TV could be made by an inkjet printer. It’s a technology that has been talking about for more than a decade, but the Chinese panel-maker has finally made its screen-printing ambitions a production reality. TCL has officially begun mass-production of inkjet-printed OLED panels. Their first application isn’t something you’re likely to see in your living room, mind: a 21.6-inch OLED display that’s intended for professional medical use. TCL also unveiled a prototype 27-inch inkjet-printed OLED panel for monitors. It joins the catalog of prototypes we’ve already seen from the manufacturer, including the folding 65-inch OLED TV . What makes the production news exciting is that it indicates TCL has finally made the leap to real-world implementation of the prototype technology. It’s the first concrete evidence that the OLED panels of the future could be produced by inkjet printers. TCL has long touted . The new production method has lower costs and produces OLEDs that last longer and require less power. The question has always been whether the technique is viable for mass production, and whether it’s capable of producing the larger panel sizes that feature in our list of the . What's new? Traditionally, OLED panels are made by depositing organic materials on a glass layer through a stencil. This is achieved by a process of evaporation inside a vacuum chamber. In contrast, inkjet-printed (IJP) OLEDs use large printers to precisely deposit the material. This significantly reduces the amount of production waste, which in turn means that IJP panels can be made for less money. TCL reckons that its IJP panels are 20% cheaper overall and can be made 30% faster than traditional OLED displays, and also that the materials used have a longer lifespan. It also claims that its printed RGB OLED loses 50% less light due to internal reflection, resulting in “higher light output efficiency compared to traditional OLED displays”. According to TCL, this means it can display brighter images using the same amount of power. That improvement in efficiency doesn’t mean IJP panels are brighter, though. With a maximum brightness of 350 nits, the 21.6-inch display that TCL has put into production is significantly dimmer than rival OLED panels from and , which peak north of 1,000 nits. The consumer benefits are instead a potential reduction in the cost of OLED displays. IJP panels should be cheaper to run and last longer. And assuming that the lower cost of production is reflected in retail prices, TVs with IJP screens could significantly reduce the cost of owning an OLED display. Question marks remain over whether the technology can be effectively applied to produce larger panels. While TCL has demonstrated larger prototypes, there’s a long way to go from its 21.6-inch production panel to the and panel sizes required by the best OLED TVs. Still, with a 204PPI density and 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, TCL’s IJP panel is otherwise competitive.‘Clear route back to government’ declares Martin as FF & FG set to keep SF out of power again while Hutch still in fight

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? ST. PAUL, Minn. — The emotion was written all over Ville Heinola’s face Monday as he prepared to play his first NHL game in more than 22 long — at times excruciatingly painful — months. “Every time you watch the team play you just want to get out there and it kills you inside when you can’t,” Heinola told the following the Winnipeg Jets morning skate at Xcel Energy Center. “I’m just happy it’s over now and I don’t have to worry about that.” The watching and waiting and worrying finally ended as Heinola was in the Jets lineup for the first time since Jan. 19, 2023, as they took on the Minnesota Wild. “It’s been a long journey for me, for sure,” said the 23-year-old smooth-skating, puck-moving defenceman, who was selected 20th overall in the 2019 NHL draft. “It’s been a struggle to get back and feel good. But now it feels great and I’m super excited to be back.” Heinola’s medical history is rather heartbreaking, given that he’s seen two golden opportunities vanish due to circumstances beyond his control. The first occurred during training camp in 2023, when an impressive preseason meant he had earned a spot not only on the 23-man roster, but in the opening-night lineup as well. However, a broken ankle suffered in the final preseason tune-up set the course for a series of unfortunate events that would severely test the young Finn physically and mentally. By the time he’d made a full recovery a few months later, the Jets were flying high with no room for him on a crowded, healthy blue line so Heinola spent the second half of the season with the Manitoba Moose, waiting for an opportunity that would never come. Sean Kilpatrick / THE CANADIAN PRESS files Jets defenceman Ville Heinola hit the ice with the big club in regular season action Monday for the first time in almost two years. Fast forward to 2024 training camp and, once again, the door was wide open. The Jets hadn’t re-signed free agents Brenden Dillon and Nate Schmidt, and Heinola was going to get a chance to play regular minutes. Before he could even get in an exhibition game, however, his surgically-repaired ankle developed an infection. The only remedy was to go back under the knife, which would cost Heinola two more months of action. “It’s been a long ride for him,” said Jets coach Scott Arniel. “But it is what it is. That’s why we said to him that he’s waited long enough. We wanted to get him a couple of quick games down with the Moose. Now it’s a case of he’s here, so go and show us what you can do. He’s pretty excited and I know he’s been waiting for this moment for a long time.” Heinola resumed skating a few weeks ago and agreed to a brief conditioning stint in the AHL, which culminated Saturday with him setting up the game-winning goal in the third period. “I think it helps a lot. Obviously, it’s been a while since I played with those guys. So just getting my legs and everything back the way it was,” said Heinola. “I feel like I had more power in my legs on Saturday. I think it takes a little bit to get back into game shape. But I’ve been working hard in the gym every single day, so I’m not really worried about my conditioning.” MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS Heinola skates with the Moose in a school-day game on Thursday. For a change, Heinola’s timing couldn’t be better. His return comes after , sidelining him indefinitely. “Every time you see a guy go down it’s not a great feeling. For me, especially, I know how it is to not play and be out for a while,” said Heinola. “But I just hope he has a quick recovery and will be back soon.” Although Samberg and Heinola are very different players, the Jets were glad to have an injection of talent and youthful energy in their lineup. “The perseverance is incredible,” said defenceman Neal Pionk. “You see what he went through last year, you feel awful for him. There’s not a whole lot you can do. This year, you get all excited for him and you kind of look at things through his eyes and then he gets the bad news again in training camp and you just feel for him. I’m excited for him. You look at it as a bit of a morale boost.” Heinola took Samberg’s spot on the roster, but not immediately in the defence pairings. Haydn Fleury moved up to skate beside Pionk, while Heinola started Monday’s game with Colin Miller. “We’ve been talking a lot. Obviously, we haven’t played together yet. But he’s a great guy,” said Heinola. “He talks a lot, so it should make my job pretty easy to play with him. He’s obviously a great player. So I think we’re going to play pretty well together. Heinola could certainly find himself moving up the lineup, especially if he can show the form that has made him one of the best young defenceman in the AHL. “I just want to move him in slowly here, get him in the mix, get him feeling comfortable,” said Arniel. “Obviously, the pace is going to be even higher than it was on the weekend for him. He’s a mobile, real-good pass-first defenceman and we just want to get him comfortable, to get out there and feeling good and then we’ll see where it goes from there.” Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dylan Samberg (54) climbs over the boards and onto the bench after being injured in Saturday’s game against the Nashville Predators. There’s no timeline for Samberg’s return. His toughness was on display as he blocked the Steven Stamkos slap shot, then managed to pick himself up, continue the shift and even try to get in the way of another blast before limping back to the bench. “That’s how tough he is,” Pionk said of his blue-line partner. “Not only that, but he skated off the ice on his own power. With a broken bone in his foot. That’s no joke. It says a lot about him. He’s willing to do the little things for the team. He always has. That’s one of his specialties, shot-blocking, he’s a warrior.” Dylan Coghlan is the only other healthy defenceman on the roster right now. The right-shot journeyman was a healthy scratch for a 22nd consecutive game on Monday. Logan Stanley has been sidelined since Nov. 9 with a mid-body injury, but took another step in his recovery as he joined the Jets for morning skate, albeit in a yellow non-contact jersey. He’s not expected to be ready for at least another week. “We’re going to have to step up by committee,” said Pionk. mike.mcintyre@freepress.mb.ca X and Bluesky: @mikemcintyrewpg Mike McIntyre is a sports reporter whose primary role is covering the Winnipeg Jets.
