Kobe Sanders scores 27 points, Nevada never trails in 90-78 win over Oklahoma State
DALLAS — If “better health for my hockey team” was among Minnesota Wild coach John Hynes’ holiday wishes, he instead got a notable lump of coal in his stocking before the team plane had even left the ground at MSP on Friday morning. The seat on the charter aircraft normally occupied by Wild star forward Kirill Kaprizov was empty when the rest of the squad took off for Texas. He was unavailable for the Friday evening game versus the Stars with a lower-body injury that has been a problem for a few days now, Hynes said. ADVERTISEMENT “He was a little sore, I think, going into the break, and then we talked with the doctors and stuff yesterday,” the coach said following the team’s morning skate at American Airlines Center. “Right now, as far as I know, it’s day-to-day ... then we’ll see how he’s feeling each day moving forward here.” Hynes added that the absence is not related to the knee-on-knee check Kaprizov took during a November game in Edmonton, which kept him out of the lineup for one game. The coach added that he has not seen anything to indicate the absence will be long-term. “I don’t have a big concern level as of now because he was a little bit banged up prior to going into the break, but we all saw how he played against Chicago,” Hynes said, referencing the team-leading 23rd goal of the season that Kaprizov scored in a 4-3 win over the Blackhawks on Monday. “We’ll see what he does today with his treatments and see what he does tomorrow.” Stars coach Peter DeBoer got the news of Kaprizov’s absence from the media following his team’s morning skate. “Obviously, an important player. I probably could’ve saved myself some time in my pre-scout this morning if I’d known that earlier,” he said, noting that they weren’t expecting an easy night with or without Kaprizov. “When I look at Minnesota, they’re a team that’s the true sum of their parts rather than one player. “They’ve got four lines, they defend well, they’ve got great goaltending. So, probably a lot like us, you can take a player out of the lineup and still be competitive. But still, that’s a big guy out for them.” The Wild will host Ottawa on Sunday evening and Nashville on Tuesday evening.

Former President Jimmy Carter , the longest-living U.S. president at 100 years old, passed away on Sunday, December 29 . The Carter Center confirmed he died in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family. He had laid his wife, Rosalynn Carter , to rest on November 28, 2023. Rosalyn’s memorial service came nine months after it was announced that the former president would receive hospice care in February. Jimmy “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention” after a series of short hospital stays, according to a statement from The Carter Center . Rosalyn’s passing was announced shortly after she began hospice care herself earlier in November, following a dementia diagnosis . Following her death, the former president paid tribute to her in a statement shared by the Carter Center. “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” he said. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.” The former Georgia senator had an incredible career as a humanitarian following his four years in the White House from 1977 to 1981. He became synonymous with Habitat for Humanity and worked tirelessly as an ambassador to impoverished countries, earning himself the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. “When I was president of the most powerful and influential nation on earth, I had more total influence over peace and progress and things like that,” Jimmy said in a 2017 interview with Oprah Winfrey . “But the last 35 years since I’ve left the White House has been the most challenging and interesting and adventurous and unpredictable and gratifying times of my life. ... And the things that I tried and didn’t quite accomplish because of change in circumstances and so forth. But, I did the best I could. As my vice president said, ‘We told the truth, we obeyed the law and we kept the peace.'” Along with his incredible career, Carter had an extremely successful personal life. He married his childhood sweetheart, Rosalyn Smith, on July 7, 1946 and they welcomed four wonderful children. In a 2015 interview with CNN , the former politician said his wife and children are “the foundation for my entire enjoyment of life.” He added, “We have a big family now, we have 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, 38 of us in all. So, we try to hold our family together and just enjoy the family life.” Learn more about Carter’s kids, below. Jack Carter The Carter’s eldest child, son Jack Carter , was born on July 3, 1947 at Portsmouth, Virginia during his father’s naval service, according to The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library . After attending Georgia Tech, Emory University, and Georgia Southwestern, Jack joined the Navy. He returned to Georgia in 1971, where he married Judy Langford , and they had two children: Jason James born August 7, 1975 and Sarah Rosemary born on December 19, 1978. Jack then earned a degree in nuclear physics at Georgia Tech and a law degree at the University of Georgia. However, he entered the political arena in 2006, when he ran as the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Nevada before losing to the Republican incumbent. Jack remarried in 1992, and his second wife, Elizabeth Brasfield , had two children from a previous relationship: John Chuldenko and Sarah Reynold , per Country Living .

On June 23, 1973, Chip married Caron Griffin , whom he had met while working on his father’s campaign for Georgia governor, per People . They welcomed a son named James Earl Carter IV on Feb. 25, 1977. After Chip and Caron split in 1979, Chip married Ginger Hodges and had a daughter named Margaret Alicia Carter with her on Sept. 23, 1987. However, that marriage ended in divorce in 2001, and Chip would go on to marry his third wife, Becky Payne . Following his mother’s death, Chip released his own statement, honoring the former first lady. “Her life of service and compassion was an example for all Americans. She will be sorely missed not only by our family but by the many people who have better mental health care and access to resources for caregiving today,” he said. Chip also confirmed his father’s death on Dec. 29 in a statement, “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love. My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Donnel ‘Jeff’ Carter Donnel “Jeff” Carter was born on Aug. 18, 1952, in New London, Connecticut. He graduated from George Washington University in 1978 with a geography degree and a specialty “in computer cartography,” per Time . Jeff and his former professor co-founded the company Computer Mapping Consultants the same year of his graduation. He and his wife, Annette Jene Davis , welcomed three sons together: Joshua, Jeremy, and James . Sadly, Jeremy passed away at the age of 28 in 2015. He was found unresponsive after taking a nap at his home and later died in a hospital, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution . Annette died on Sept. 19, 2021, at age 68. Amy Lynn Carter The youngest child and only daughter of Jimmy and Rosalynn, Amy Carter , arrived on Oct. 19, 1967. She was only 10 years old when her family moved into the White House. She became known for her political activism during her 20s. Amy then went on to get her bachelor’s degree from the Memphis College of Art in 1991. Four years later, Amy illustrated her father’s children’s book, The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer . She would go on to get her master’s in art history from Tulane University in 1996. That same year, Amy married computer consultant James Wentzel and the couple welcomed son Hugo in July 1999.( ) shares have been very volatile in recent weeks. In October, a flurry of negative media coverage relating to the logistics solutions company's founder sent its shares crashing deep into the red. Since then, the WiseTech share price has staged a big comeback and have now risen almost 30% from their October low. But where next for this popular ASX 200 stock? Let's see what analysts are saying about it. Is it too late to buy WiseTech shares? The team at Goldman Sachs doesn't believe it is too late to invest in the company. Particularly given its investor day update this week, which the broker believes supported its buy thesis. Commenting on the update, Goldman said: WTC hosted its investor day today and provided a detailed overview of its product roadmap and plans to become the operating system for global logistics, alongside highlighting the breadth and depth of its executive team. The broker notes that management spoke about its huge long term growth opportunity. It adds: Detailed product presentations highlighted the opportunity to deliver significant long-term growth – all of which could be material drivers if successful. CTO is estimated to reduce customer costs by 40-50% (WTC to share in these savings) and has the requisite scale and customer value to drive very strong uptake. However even 'smaller' products within CargoWise Next such as Electronic Bills of Lading offer significant opportunity ($6.5bn industry cost of physical Bills – noting 9 key global carriers committing to fully digitizing this by 2030). Goldman also highlights that the Richard White's decision to step down as founder CEO into a different role could end up being a big positive. It explains: WTC is confident that its new leadership structure will work, with Richard White expected to spend more time on driving product development + strategy (increasing from 20% of his time as CEO, to aspirationally 95% in his new role). Time to buy In light of the above, Goldman Sachs has reiterated its buy rating and $138.00 price target on WiseTech shares. It then concludes: We are positive on WiseTech's strong competitive position which contributes to efficiency gains for LGFF's. Over the short-to-medium term we expect WiseTech's earnings profile to benefit from new product releases such as Container Transport Optimizer, as well as continuing to grow penetration of their core business. We expect WiseTech will continue to focus on product development over the long-term, which should underpin margin expansion and earnings growth. Hence, with the risk/reward profile skewed to the upside we are Buy rated.
