L real money casino.txt\ے,OU]{tN!6m/`lMt IEI wq^uF7RHq(\GWQYD_&݆'MC M1mu.Ә ;1UC$:NFOXBOROUGH, Mass. — If things had worked out differently, wide receiver Ladd McConkey might have been standing on the New England Patriots’ sideline Saturday at Gillette Stadium, watching Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert shred his defensive teammates during a 40-7 victory . Instead, McConkey set Chargers rookie records for receptions and receiving yards in a season Saturday. He caught eight passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns, bringing his season totals to 77 receptions and 1,054 receiving yards, breaking Keenan Allen’s marks of 71 catches and 1,046 yards in 2013. McConkey is one touchdown shy of Allen’s rookie record of eight. When the Chargers jettisoned Allen and Mike Williams in a pair of cost-saving moves during the offseason, new General Manager Joe Hortiz had the notion of selecting a standout wide receiver near the top of his to-do list going into the draft. Hortiz picked right tackle Joe Alt with his first-round pick . Hortiz then made what seemed at the time like a minor move. He swapped his second-round pick for the Patriots’ second-round selection, moving up from 37th to 34th to take McConkey , a standout from the University of Georgia. Hortiz added the 137th overall pick as a sweetener to complete the trade. So, it was that McConkey torched the team that ended up trading him. “No extra motivation or anything like that,” McConkey said, laughing when asked about facing the Patriots for the first time since the draft back in April. “I was excited to get drafted. I didn’t care that I got traded. I’m right where I’m supposed to be. It’s a cool moment. I’m glad they drafted me.” McConkey recalled he met with the Chargers only briefly during the Senior Bowl. He didn’t have any inkling that they would have any special interest in drafting him. Little did he know how easily he would mesh with his teammates, and especially Herbert, who has called him a “quarterback’s best friend.” “I always believed in myself, but I didn’t know,” McConkey said of his mindset going into his rookie season. “I didn’t know. Obviously, I wanted to get as many yards as I could and contribute as much as I could. In a sense, I really didn’t think about this, but it is pretty cool. I feel like it just developed.” EXTRA POINTS Derwin James Jr. sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye twice and recovered Maye’s fumble, one of several stellar defensive players Saturday. Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu also sacked Maye once apiece. The Chargers limited Maye to 12 for 22 passing for 117 yards and one touchdown. ... Cameron Dicker kicked field goals of 27, 38, 41 and 35 yards for the Chargers. He accounted for the only points in their 6-0 victory last season over the Patriots, a game played in a steady downpour that limited the Chargers’ offenses to only two successful possessions. ... Wide receiver Joshua Palmer suffered a heel injury and didn’t return to the game. He was walking with the aid of crutches after the game. Defensive back Elijah Molden departed the game on a cart after suffering a shin injury on a non-contact play. Molden wore a walking boot after the game.A UK GP Dr Ahmed, known for his educational content on TikTok as has shared advice for treating acute sinusitis, a problem he says 'everyone seems to have at the moment'. In the recent video, he also debunked common myths associated with sinusitis, better known as a sinus infection, which involves the swelling of the sinuses. Dr Ahmed explained that sinusitis and the 'chronic cough' sometimes linked to it are almost always caused by a viral infection rather than a bacterial one, reports . "A green-yellow-brown discharge from your nose does not mean it's a bacterial infection. This actually is very common in a viral infection as well," he clarified. Unfortunately, symptoms can take days or even weeks to clear up. "This infection can last for seven to ten days, and it can take four weeks for symptoms to completely go away. The most common reason for a bacterial infection is actually a viral infection that has not got better and the inflammation has got severe enough for bacterial infection to develop," the expert explained. He suggested treating symptoms with over-the-counter medicines. The GP shared: "The best treatment for this is saline nasal washes, decongestants and anti-inflammatories." Dr Ahmed also explained why some people suffer from a chronic cough. "This is part of something called a post-nasal drip," he said. "This is where all the inflammation and the gunk from your sinuses goes to the back of your throat and this causes a cough. This is most common at night." According to the , sinusitis is common after a cold or flu, and the main symptoms include: People with sinusitis may also experience headache, toothache, bad breath, a cough and a feeling of pressure in the ears. According to the , you can usually treat sinusitis without seeing a GP by getting plenty of rest, drinking plenty of fluids, taking painkillers, not smoking, avoiding allergy triggers and cleaning your nose with a salt water solution. A pharmacist can help recommend salt water nasal sprays or decongestant nasal sprays. See a GP if you are very unwell, you keep getting sinusitis, painkillers do not help, your symptoms get worse, or your symptoms do not get better after three weeks.
Number of homeless people counted in Saskatoon nearly triplesThe Chicago Cubs acquired All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker in a trade with the Houston Astros on Friday. In return, the Astros received infielder Isaac Paredes, right-handed pitcher Hayden Wesneski and third base prospect Cam Smith. Tucker, 27, batted .289 with 23 home runs and 49 RBIs in 78 games last season. An All-Star in each of the past three seasons, Tucker missed three-plus months this year with a small fracture in his right shin from his own foul ball in early June. He is expected to make around $16 million in arbitration for 2025 and is a free agent at the end of the season. In 633 career games for Houston since making his debut in 2018, Tucker is a career .274 hitter with 125 homers, 135 doubles and 417 RBIs. Smith, 21, is the No. 7 prospect in the Cubs' organization according to MLB Pipeline. Drafted 14th overall in the first round earlier this year, Smith is primarily a third baseman but has played left field. Paredes, 25, was used at three infield positions last season and hit 31 home runs with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2023 before a combined total of 19 homers last season split between the Rays and Cubs. Chicago acquired Paredes for three players in July. Paredes won't be a free agent until 2028. He originally signed with the Cubs for $500,000 out of Mexico in 2015. --Field Level Media

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson has been ruled out for the Colts' big game at the New York Giants on Sunday. Richardson missed practice on Thursday and Friday because of back and foot injuries. He was listed as questionable before he was downgraded to out on Saturday. Indianapolis (7-8) has a slim chance of making the playoffs. The Colts need to win out and get some help. Richardson's absence likely means Joe Flacco will start against New York. Flacco, a New Jersey native who turns 40 on Jan. 16, has passed for 1,167 yards and nine touchdowns in six games this season, including four starts. He also has thrown five interceptions. The 22-year-old Richardson was selected by Indianapolis with the No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft. He has passed for 1,814 yards and eight touchdowns with 12 interceptions this year. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl The Associated Press
Kentucky ends Mizzou volleyball's season in Sweet 16The first guest invited to ring the bell to open trading at the New York Stock Exchange in 1956 wasn’t a company executive, a politician or a celebrity. It was a 10-year-old boy, Leonard Ross, who received the honor by winning a television quiz show. Since then, business titans, political giants and global film stars have all been among those ringing the opening bell at the NYSE. Ronald Reagan rang the bell as president in 1985. Billionaire businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. have also rung the bell. The list even includes famous Muppets: Miss Piggy was once a bell ringer. President-elect Donald Trump joined that list Thursday when he opened trading at the famous stock exchange on Wall Street. He was accompanied by his wife, Melania, who interestingly enough received the honor before her husband. As first lady, she rang the bell in 2019 as part of her “Be Best” program. Bell-ringers are more commonly founders and executives chosen primarily from the exchange’s more than 2,300 listed companies. Over the last few months, the guests have included executives from Alaska Air Group, Bath & Body Works, and Ally Financial. RELATED COVERAGE New York City mayor meets with Trump’s ‘border czar’ to discuss how to go after ‘violent’ criminals McDonald’s employee who called 911 in CEO’s shooting is eligible for a reward, but it will take time Luxury real estate brokers charged in federal indictment with sex trafficking in NYC Stock trading around the location of the NYSE’s current home has deep roots that trace back to the Dutch founding of New Amsterdam and when Wall Street had an actual wall. The NYSE traces its direct roots to the “Buttonwood Agreement” signed in 1792, which set rules for stock trading and commissions. The NYSE moved into its first permanent home in 1865. The first bell in use was actually a gong. The exchange moved into its current iconic building in 1903 and started using an electronically operated brass bell. That has evolved into synchronized bells in each of the NYSE’s four trading areas.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Front Row Motorsports, one of two teams suing NASCAR in federal court, accused the stock car series Thursday of rejecting the planned purchase of a valuable charter unless the lawsuit was dropped. Front Row made the claim in a court filing and said it involved its proposed purchase of the charter from Stewart-Haas Racing. Front Row said the series would only approve it if Front Row and 23XI Racing dropped their court case. “Specifically, NASCAR informed us that it would not approve the (charter) transfer unless we agreed to drop our current antitrust lawsuit against them,” Jerry Freeze, general manager of Front Row, said in an affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court of Western North Carolina. The two teams in September refused to sign NASCAR's “take-it-or-leave-it” final offer on a new revenue sharing agreement. All other 13 teams signed the deal. Front Row and 23XI balked and are now in court. 23XI co-owner Michael Jordan has said he took the fight to court on behalf of all teams competing in the top motorsports series in the United States. NASCAR has argued that the two teams simply do not like the terms of the final charter agreement and asked for the lawsuit be dismissed. Earlier this week, the suit was transferred to a different judge than the one who heard the first round of arguments and ruled against the two teams in their request for a temporary injunction to be recognized in 2025 as chartered teams as the case proceeds. The latest filing is heavily redacted as it lays out alleged retaliatory actions by NASCAR the teams say have caused irreparable harm. Both Front Row and 23XI want to expand from two full-time cars to three, and have agreements with SHR to purchase one charter each as SHR goes from four cars to one for 2025. The teams can still compete next season but would have to do so as “open” teams that don't have the same protections or financial gains that come from holding a charter. Freeze claimed in the affidavit that Front Row signed a purchase agreement with SHR in April and NASCAR President Steve Phelps told Freeze in September the deal had been approved. But when Front Row submitted the paperwork last month, NASCAR began asking for additional information. A Dec. 4 request from NASCAR was “primarily related to our ongoing lawsuit with NASCAR,” Freeze said. “NASCAR informed us on December 5, 2024, that it objected to the transfer and would not approve it, in contrast to the previous oral approval for the transfer confirmed by Phelps before we filed the lawsuit,” Freeze said. “NASCAR made it clear that the reason it was now changing course and objecting to the transfer is because NASCAR is insisting that we drop the lawsuit and antitrust claims against it as a condition of being approved.” A second affidavit from Steve Lauletta, the president of 23XI Racing, claims NASCAR accused 23XI and Front Row of manufacturing “new circumstances” in a renewed motion for an injunction and of a “coordinated effort behind the scenes.” “This is completely false,” Lauletta said. Front Row is owned by businessman Bob Jenkins, while 23XI is owned by retired NBA Hall of Famer Jordan, three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin and longtime Jordan adviser Curtis Polk. NASCAR had been operating with 36 chartered teams and four open spots since the charter agreement began in 2016. NASCAR now says it will move forward in 2025 with 32 chartered teams and eight open spots, with offers on charters for Front Row and 23XI rescinded and the SHR charters in limbo. The teams contend they must be chartered under some of their contractual agreements with current sponsors and drivers, and competing next year as open teams will cause significant losses. “23XI exists to compete at the highest level of stock car racing, striving to become the best team it can be. But that ambition can only be pursued within NASCAR, which has monopolized the market as the sole top-tier circuit for stock car racing,” Lauletta said. "Our efforts to expand – purchasing more cars and increasing our presence on the track – are integral to achieving this goal. “It is not hypocritical to operate within the only system available while striving for excellence and contending for championships,” he continued. “It is a necessity because NASCAR’s monopoly leaves 23XI no alternative circuit, no different terms, and no other viable avenue to compete at this level.” AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racingThe Kansas City Chiefs picked up a road victory — but in true 2024 form, they didn’t make it easy on themselves. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes led a game-winning drive inside the last two minutes, lifting the Chiefs to a 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The Panthers, entering the game at 3-7, tied it at 27 with a touchdown and two-point conversion with 1:46 remaining. But that was too much time for Mahomes. His biggest moment was a scramble, as he sprinted 33 yards down the sideline to the Panthers 22 with 39 seconds left to put the Chiefs into field-goal range. Recently signed kicker Spencer Shrader put through the 31-yard field goal as time expired. This one was close because of KC’s inability to stop a before-the-game struggling Carolina pass offense. The Panthers, behind previously benched QB Bryce Young, dissected the Chiefs secondary. Young completed 21 of 35 passes for 262 yards, while Carolina averaged a healthy 5.8 yards per play. KC also got almost no pass rush for a second straight week — a reason for concern as the team prepares for the season’s most important games ahead. Mahomes, meanwhile, played one of his best games of the season, completing 27 of 37 passes for 269 yards with the three scores. The Chiefs led 20-9 at halftime thanks to their efficient offense. Mahomes took advantage of his few possessions then, completing 19 of 24 passes for 207 yards before the break with a pair of touchdown passes to tight end Noah Gray. KC scored on all four drives, including a 14-play, 92-yard march late in the second quarter. Young went 10 for 18 for 177 yards before the break, as Carolina averaged 8.6 yards per pass and 7.5 yards per play.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, non-GAAP free cash flow and total and current non-GAAP RPOs, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided tabular reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure at the end of this release. We calculate non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit before amortization of stock-based compensation included in the amortized expenses of capitalized internal-use software, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue. We calculate non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin before the impact of stock-based compensation of capitalized internal-use software, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue. We calculate non-GAAP operating loss as GAAP operating loss before amortization of stock-based compensation of capitalized internal-use software, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, and merger and acquisition-related expenses. We calculate non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net loss before amortization of stock-based compensation of capitalized internal-use software, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, and merger and acquisition-related expenses, which comprise one-time costs associated with advisory, legal, and other professional fees, net of tax adjustments. We calculate non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted). We calculate non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. Non-GAAP free cash flow as a % of revenue is calculated as non-GAAP free cash flow divided by total revenue. We calculate non-GAAP RPOs as RPOs plus customer deposits, which are refundable pre-paid amounts, based on the timing of when these customer deposits are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods. The current portion of non-GAAP RPO represents the amount to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. Our management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In particular, other companies may report non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP free cash flow, non-GAAP RPOs or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as presented below.

Lake lost both a gubernatorial race and a Senate election in Arizona within the span of the past two years. She claimed in both contests, without any evidence whatsoever, that her losses were due to election fraud — echoing Trump’s false claims of election fraud after he lost the 2020 presidential election to President Joe Biden. In his post on Truth Social , Trump insisted that Lake would “ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY,” deriding other news media as being “fake news” — a complaint he frequently lobbies against the press after journalists publish reports on his corruption and wrongdoings. Trump’s post suggests that he will attempt to use the VOA to promote propaganda on his behalf. Importantly, the position of VOA director is not appointed by the president — instead, a seven-person panel called the International Broadcasting Advisory Board (IBAB) picks the person who heads the news agency. Six members of IBAB are selected by presidents to four-year terms, with the seventh member being the Secretary of State in an ex officio role. All seven members require Senate confirmation, though in the Secretary of State’s case, their approval is usually focused on other functions of their office, rather than the management of media produced by the U.S. government. Furthermore, the six members who are not the Secretary of State must be politically divided evenly — no more than three of the six can belong to the same political party, per the law that established IBAB . All of these conditions mean that, while Republicans will technically comprise a majority of the board once Trump’s Secretary of State choice is sworn in, it will still be very difficult for Lake to become head of the VOA. However, there is another workaround Trump can take: passing a new law that gives himself greater powers to interfere with VOA’s work and independence, including by giving the president the ability to directly appoint the agency’s director. Indeed, current law regulating the VOA and IBAB came about due to allegations of abuse during the first Trump administration . With Republican majorities in both houses of Congress, that law can be repealed and replaced with one that gives Trump the authority to appoint whomever he wants. Trump’s post didn’t allude to that action being considered, but the news of Lake as his choice to lead VOA has worried some employees of the agency nonetheless. “We’re hoping that the guardrails will hold,” a VOA employee told CNN . Journalists were quick to criticize Trump’s Truth Social post, noting that Lake would use VOA to promote far right propaganda and conspiracy theories. Lake is “an unhinged conspiracy theorist who lashes out at the press, hobnobs with far-right and antisemitic extremist outlets,” Media Matters for America senior fellow Matthew Gertz wrote on the social media site X. If Trump is successful at getting Lake appointed, it will “drive out the responsible journalists who work there and destroy the mission of VOA,” Tom Nichols of The Atlantic wrote in a Bluesky post . “Putting Kari Lake at the head of Voice of America is not only an attack on journalism and the duty to tell the truth, it’s an assault and an insult to every person around the world who turns to VoA to look up to America,” journalist Steven Beschloss said .
