[Source: Supplied] Ba representative, Flying Arrows, will be out to prove its worth at the Cecil’s National Regional Club Championship. Flying Arrows are back in the NCC after 18 years and they’ll play their first game tomorrow at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori. Head coach Timoci Seru says their preparations have been affected by continuous rain last week, but they’re happy to have some sunshine in the past three days to get back on track. Seru adds they’re fortunate to have players like Etonia Dogalau, Penisoni Tirau, and Iliesa Nayasi, along with some young talents. The club has produced notable players like Alvin Singh, Krishna Sami, Mavileko Nakama, and Seru himself. “We are not just representing Flying Arrows—we are representing Ba as a whole. We ask fans to rally behind us, forget any differences, and support us with positive vibes, prayers, and blessings.” Flying Arrows was founded in 1953 by the late former Ba and Fiji representative, Farook Janeman. The club is now managed by Janeman’s family, including the Bhamji brothers, sons, and nephews, with support from New Zealand and Canada. With their proud history and the pressure of recent controversies, Flying Arrows are determined to step in strong and uphold Ba’s football legacy. The opening match tomorrow at 9am will see neighbors Buiduna FC of Tailevu Naitasiri take on Nakasi Police FC of Rewa in what is expected to be a close encounter. Friends FC of Nasinu will then face Labasa’s Northpole FC at 11am, followed by what is expected to be an exciting match between Flying Arrows FC from Ba and Nadi’s Blues FC at 1pm. The day’s action will conclude with a 3pm clash between Lautoka’s Rival FC and Downtown FC from Nadroga. The tournament will then move to the Fiji FA Academy Ground in Vatuwaqa from Friday to Sunday where the remaining matches will be played.East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr., a potential first-round pick, declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday.

Rebel Sport Christmas Trolley Dash Tauranga: Jolene Howden-Turnbull celebrates son’s inspiring cancer journeyBy JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron’s new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand’s tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70

David Pastrnak struggled to score over the course of 17 days and seven games. The Bruins star finally broke through in Boston’s 6-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday during its Centennial game at TD Garden. The drought didn’t come due to lack of effort. Pastrnak had games where he took several shots on net. Other times he gave up a shot he’d typically take in order to pass the puck. No matter what Pastrnak did, opposing goalies were able to stop him. For Pastrnak, being scoreless in seven games wasn’t taking up too much space in his mind. “I know I haven’t been scoring that much, but at the same time, there’s a lot of parts of my game that I wasn’t happy with,” Pastrnak told reporters after Tuesday’s practice. “Honestly, I didn’t even think about scoring. I feel good now, confidence is coming back. So I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be a little bit better.” Pastrnak said while he’d like to shoot more, if he sees someone in a better position to score it’s hard for him to not try to get the puck over to his teammate. But he’s aware he needs — and wants — to shoot more. He’d also like to be on the puck more. “Sometimes when the offense doesn’t come, you move away from details,” Pastrnak said. “So get back to details, play the right away and have the puck more on my stick.” Despite the drought, Pastrnak leads the Bruins with nine goals and 14 assists. Offense hasn’t come easy as a whole for the Bruins. They’ve given up 80 goals and have scored 64 through the first 26 games. Charlie McAvoy said the dam is on the verge of breaking, and Boston showed flashes of that on Sunday.Why there’s so much gossip and speculation about the Wicked press tour
NoneWASHINGTON — Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday that the Federal Reserve's ability to set interest rates free of political interference is necessary for it to make decisions to serve “all Americans” rather than a political party or political outcome. Speaking at the New York Times’ DealBook summit, Powell addressed a question about President-elect Donald Trump's numerous public criticisms of the Fed and of Powell himself. During the election campaign, Trump had insisted that as president, he should have a “say” in the Fed's interest rate policies. In his remarks Wednesday, Powell said, “We’re supposed to achieve maximum employment and price stability for the benefit of all Americans and keep out of politics completely." Despite Trump's comments, the Fed chair said he was confident of widespread support in Congress for maintaining the central bank's independence. “I’m not concerned," he said, “that there’s some risk that that we would lose our statutory independence. “There’s very, very broad support for that set of ideas in Congress, in both political parties, on both side of the Hill.” On the topic of interest rates, Powell said the Fed can afford to cut its benchmark rate cautiously, because the economy is doing better than the Fed thought it was in September, when it collectively predicted four rate cuts in 2025 after three cuts in 2024. “We’re not quite there on inflation, but we’re making progress,” Powell said. “We can afford to be a little more cautious." The Fed has been aiming to deliver a “soft landing” for the economy, whereby the central bank's interest rate hikes manage to help reduce inflation to its 2% target without causing a recession. History has shown it's a rare and difficult feat. Yet the economy appears largely on track for such an outcome. The job market has slowed. And inflation is down sharply, though in recent months it has remained stuck modestly above the Fed's target, which could make the policymakers reluctant to cut rates much further. Several other Fed officials have said this week that they expect to keep reducing rates, without committing to a reduction at their next meeting later this month. On Monday, Christopher Waller, an influential member of the Fed's Board of Directors, said he was “leaning” toward a rate cut when the central bank meets in two weeks. Waller added, though, that if forthcoming data on inflation or hiring appears worse than the Fed expects, he might favor keeping rates unchanged. On Tuesday, Mary Daly, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, said she supported further lowering rates, without commenting specifically on a timetable. “Whether it’ll be in December or some time later, that’s a question we’ll have a chance to debate and discuss at our next meeting,” Daly said in an interview on Fox Business News. "But the point is, we have to keep policy moving down to accommodate the economy because we want a durable expansion with low inflation.”
