slot machine philippines Gavi blasts ‘stupid’ Barcelona after Celta Vigo drawRyan Smith and I had the same idea. With the Jazz facing the Clippers for early-season NBA action, we both figured Sunday would be a great time to travel down (separately) to the Clippers' new arena, the Intuit Dome. The relevance to the Jazz is obvious: Smith is spending over $500 million of taxpayer money to renovate the Delta Center in downtown Salt Lake City over the next few years, and it simply makes sense to see what the newest and shiniest NBA arena did to see if there’s anything to copy. Ironically, the Intuit Dome took inspiration the other way around. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer liked the Delta Center’s stands “hugging” the court with steep sightlines, in sharp contrast to the way the bowl slopes further away from the court at the Clippers' previous home, now called Crypto.com Arena. Smith and Ballmer spoke for several minutes courtside at the arena on Sunday, Ballmer showing off his stadium’s new design to the Jazz’s owner. Later, Jazz coach Will Hardy and general manager Justin Zanik joined the admiration party on the court. I got my own tour of the arena from Clippers staff that day, and of course, experienced a game there. (The Jazz lost, 116-105.) Here’s what I learned — and the relevance it has to Utah’s own construction project. A place for basketball Perhaps my favorite part about the Intuit Dome is its love affair with basketball. The arena complex — 26 acres in all — features five basketball courts: the main NBA floor, two dedicated practice courts for the Clippers, one court within the arena concourse that’s a near-replica of the Clippers' court, used for fan and employee events, and one outside the arena on the plaza where fans can simply shoot hoop or play pickup games. That last one is open to the public during normal hours, meaning fans can come and play organically, steps away from where their NBA heroes do. (Jae C. Hong | AP) Fans play basketball outside the Intuit Dome, the new home of the Los Angeles Clippers, before the team's NBA preseason basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks Monday, Oct. 14, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif. The facility is full of basketball-oriented features. The upper bowl concourse (open air, a feat probably only possible in Los Angeles) has multiple high-tech pop-a-shot alleys for fans to shoot. Importantly for the Clippers, they have their own basketball arena merch stands, ones they don’t have to trade off with the Lakers on, like they did at the old Staples Center. Highlighting the basketball theme is a Clipper ship — it looks like a pirate ship — outside the arena. It’s made of basketball hoops. (Andy Larsen | The Salt Lake Tribune) A Clipper ship outside of the Intuit Dome — made of basketball hoops. Finally, my favorite part of the concourse was the high school jersey wall. A brilliant idea from Clippers management, the team reached out to every high school in California, no matter how big or how small, and asked for a single jersey. With more than 1,500 jerseys in all, fans can find their alma mater on the walls of an NBA arena; a database accessible in-arena indicates exactly which section they can find their school’s jersey in. (Los Angeles Clippers) Like a lot of Utahns, basketball was a huge part of my childhood. It obviously remains a huge part of my life now. To see these, and a bunch of other touches, spoke pretty deeply to me — and I hope that the Delta Center finds a way to retain a community feel. The sloping, high-tech seats Once you get inside the arena and game action begins, though, it’s pretty incredible how different the Intuit Dome is when compared to other arenas. At this point, I’ve gone to a game at every NBA arena. Unlike, say, baseball parks, which allow for a wide array of dimensions and features, NBA arenas are pretty darn similar to one another once you enter the game’s viewing area. The one point of difference in the other 29 buildings tends to be whether or not a facility is a hockey-hybrid arena or a basketball-only arena. Those with hockey tend to have long, gently sloping baseline seats; you can sometimes even see people try to crane their necks so they can see the action over the rows of people in front of them. Meanwhile, basketball arenas have steeper seats that are higher up vertically but closer horizontally to the action. (For example, seats in Row 20 at the Intuit Dome are 45 feet closer to the court than at Crypto.com Arena, the Clippers' previous home.) Intuit Dome is the exception. Three sides of it remind you of the Delta Center — and then there’s The Wall. The Wall extends 51 rows up, uninterrupted. No suites, no upper or lower bowl, just a Wall of fans, extending to the ceiling. (Los Angeles Clippers) The closest seats are intended to be the Clippers' supporters' section, which they call The Swell. There’s a standing bar in front of every seat in this section for the hardest core of fans; during the Jazz game, they chanted on nearly every play. (For instance, after Lauri Markkanen missed one free throw, they chanted “Do it again!” repeatedly for his second.) Every seat in the arena has USB-C charging, plus a quadrant of four buttons in the armrest. Those are used for timeout games, displayed on a massive “Halo” video board that itself has 0.88 acres of screen real estate. (Ryan Sun | AP) The oculus at the new Intuit Dome is seen during tip off during an NBA basketball game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Phoenix Suns, Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif. Each seat also has an LED light in the seat, which can turn red, blue, yellow, and green. The team uses these colors throughout the action: during the national anthem, red white and blue lights wave throughout the crowd. When a Clipper player makes a three, Clippers' red flashes upward through the arena. It’s a really cool effect. It will be difficult, if not impossible, for the Delta Center renovations to copy what the Intuit Dome has done here. The point of the construction is to expand the seating area so that the arena can fit more fans in for a hockey configuration, making the tight-knit basketball setup seemingly impossible. In previous interviews — the Jazz’s leadership declined to speak on the record for this story — Ryan Smith has spoken of new seating technology that he believes will allow the team to have good seating for both sports. That wasn’t on display at the Intuit Dome, as it didn’t need to be. A tech billionaire dream, a privacy nightmare By far the strangest part of the Intuit Dome experience was the facial recognition systems that power nearly every aspect of going to a game. In order to get into the arena, you have to download the Intuit Dome app, which then asks you to do a facial recognition scan and enter your payment information. At the entrance gate, cameras scan you, then check to see if you have tickets to the game. If you do, you’re let in. The concession stands are all grab and go, and also operate on the same facial recognition technology. The cameras scan your face, then you grab popcorn or burgers or pizza or even sushi, then leave. The in-stand cameras keep track of what you’ve grabbed and charge your account for it. If you’d like to buy alcohol, you scan your California ID in the app. (Los Angeles Clippers) This technology was glitchy, to be honest. For some people, it recognized them immediately. For others, they had to stoop down in front of the camera or move around for them to be recognized, which looked awkward. It is possible to skip the cameras, and use the Intuit Dome app for entry and concessions — but that meant fewer lines with longer waits. Fans without a phone, like children, have to go to a separate line first, where they get a wristband that allows them access to the arena and food. And, of course, there are huge privacy concerns at play here. This level of data tracking has become widely embraced by the tech world, but regular people and cybersecurity experts alike have significant qualms about this much data being collected in the first place. Ballmer is clearly comfortable with it, and Smith’s track record at Qualtrics would indicate he is too. The players and coaches didn’t seem to mind. While the arena was probably half full during the Jazz’s game — a Chargers game at SoFi Stadium nearly across the street sapped some gamegoers, but the Clippers have yet to sell out their new home — the game’s participants still liked their experience in the building. “It’s fire,” Keyonte George said. “Maybe they could get more fans. But The Wall, the lights, the court, the environment. What’s it called? Intuit? I’m very into it.” As the Smith Entertainment Group releases more information on what they have planned for downtown Salt Lake City, we’ll see if they are into Intuit as much as George.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to top the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 123 points, or 0.3%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6% as Microsoft and Big Tech led the way. People are also reading... Stock markets abroad mostly fell after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China once he takes office. But the movements were mostly modest. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada’s main index edged down by less than 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. The consequences otherwise for markets and the global economy could be painful. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. And unlike tariffs in Trump’s first term, his latest proposal would affect products across the board. General Motors sank 9%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.3%. The value of the Mexican peso fell 1.8% against the U.S. dollar. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support for the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the economy, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed’s last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another mixed set of profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates imposed by the Fed to get inflation under control. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Kohl’s tumbled 17% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.9% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. Still, more stocks rose in the S&P 500 than fell. J.M. Smucker had one of the biggest gains and climbed 5.7% after topping analysts’ expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 3.2% for Amazon and 2.2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 34.26 points to 6,021.63. The Dow gained 123.74 to 44,860.31, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 119.46 to 19,174.30. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.29% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It’s since dipped back toward $91,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.

This work has been ongoing, and the city is seeking a Certificate of Fitness from the Canadian Transportation Agency and confirmation of the notice of change in operations for the Railway Operating Certificate from Transport Canada. Both are required before the system can open to the public.” In preparation for the start of revenue service on the much-delayed southern extension of LRT, OC Transpo has also started “final readiness activities,” Amilcar’s memo said. That will include: additional drills and service scenarios; emergency exercises, including an integrated full-scale exercise with emergency personnel; winter readiness drills and planning; continued training for diesel rail operators; and a dress rehearsal of the full “revenue service system function.” Amilcar said TransitNext must also submit the final safety case and the final report from the independent safety assessor. The city’s Independent safety auditor would then provide a statement indicating there were no objections to the start of passenger service.

Report: NFL warns players of burglary rings targeting pro athletesAccrington Stanley response to Liverpool draw speaks volumes as Ibrahima Konate reacts - Liverpool.comWealth manager St James's Place to cut 500 jobs as part of a £200m cost-cutting drive By DAILY MAIL CITY & FINANCE REPORTER Updated: 22:00 GMT, 2 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments St James’s Place is making around 500 staff redundant as part of a £200million savings drive. The wealth management company plans to cut about one-sixth of its 3,200 corporate staff, it revealed in an internal memo first reported by the trade outlet Citywire. Earlier this year, St James’s Place said it would make £100million in cost cuts per year for the next two years, and that it expected to have made £500million in savings by 2030. The plans were announced as part of a strategy shake-up under chief executive Mark FitzPatrick, who joined last year. The layoffs will not affect the London-listed company’s stable of roughly 4,800 financial advisers across the country, who run their own smaller firms under the St James’s Place umbrella. Instead, the 3,200 corporate staff will be targeted by the cuts, a source familiar with the matter confirmed.

Quest Partners LLC Boosts Stock Holdings in Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD)SAO PAULO -- Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has been a target for investigations since his early days in office, and the swarm of cases since his failed reelection bid in 2022 has left him in ever-deeper legal jeopardy. In the latest indictment Thursday, he was accused of attempting a coup to keep himself in the presidency. In another case, the electoral court ruled the far-right leader ineligible to run for office until 2030. There are dozens of other probes that could produce criminal charges at low-level courts, where he could appeal any eventual conviction. But the country's Supreme Court will have the final say regarding more than five in-depth investigations, including into the alleged coup attempt, which could land the former president behind bars or under house arrest. Bolsonaro has denied wrongdoing in all of the cases, and his allies have alleged they are political persecution, while recognizing the severity of the legal risks on multiple fronts. Here's a look at the biggest threats and where they stand: Federal police on Thursday indicted Bolsonaro and 36 others for allegedly attempting a coup to keep him in office after his defeat in the 2022 elections. The indictment is sealed, but among other things authorities had been investigating whether he incited the Jan. 8, 2022 riot in which his followers ransacked the Supreme Court and presidential palace in the capital of Brasilia. STATUS: Police sent their findings to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which will refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet. He will either formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. Brazil’s highest electoral court in June ruled that Bolsonaro used government communication channels in a meeting with diplomats to promote his reelection bid and sow distrust about the vote. The case focused on a meeting the prior year, during which Bolsonaro used government staffers, the state television channel and the presidential palace in Brasilia to tell foreign ambassadors that the country’s electronic voting system was rigged. The ruling rendered him ineligible for office until 2030, although he has insisted that he will run in the 2026 race. The court also found that Bolsonaro abused his power during Brazil’s Independence Day festivities, a month before the election. The ruling didn’t add years to Bolsonaro’s ineligibility, but made any appeal less likely to succeed. A third case is also pending at the court. STATUS: Bolsonaro’s appeal of the initial ruling was denied. Bolsonaro has been indicted for directing an official to tamper with a public health database to make it appear as though he and his 12-year-old daughter had received the COVID-19 vaccine in order to bypass U.S. entry requirements. During the pandemic, he railed against the vaccine , characterized the choice to receive a shot as a matter of personal freedom and has repeatedly said he never did so. The Federal Police accused Bolsonaro of criminal association and inserting false data into public records, which carry maximum penalties of 4 and 12 years in prison, respectively. It was his first indictment since leaving office. STATUS: Brazil's Supreme Court sent the indictment to the prosecutor-general, who is weighing whether to use it to press charges. Local media reported that he was seeking to consult American authorities about whether Bolsonaro used the forged document to enter the country, and that having done so could result in U.S. legal action. Federal Police have probed whether Bolsonaro directed officials to smuggle luxury jewelry worth millions into Brazil from Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, then acted to prevent them from being incorporated into the presidential collection and instead retain ownership for himself. Investigators summoned Bolsonaro for questioning in April and August of 2023. He has returned the jewelry in question. STATUS: The Federal Police indicted Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association, according to a source with knowledge of the accusations. A second source confirmed the indictment, although not for which specific crimes. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. Brazil’s Federal Police is investigating Bolsonaro for inciting crimes against public health during the COVID-19 pandemic, which include encouraging people not to wear masks and causing alarm about non-existent danger of vaccines accelerating development of AIDS . A Senate inquiry commission also spent months investigating his pandemic-era actions and decisions, and recommended nine criminal charges. Brazil’s former prosecutor-general Augusto Aras, widely seen as a Bolsonaro ally, decided not to file any charges based on the lawmakers' findings. They have urged his Aras' successor to reopen the case. STATUS: The investigation is ongoing. Brazil's Supreme Court in 2020 ordered an investigation into a network allegedly spreading defamatory fake news and threats against Supreme Court justices . The probe has yielded the imprisonment of lawmakers from the former president's circle and raids of his supporters' homes. In 2021, Bolsonaro was included as a target. As an offshoot of that probe, the Federal Police is also investigating whether a group operating inside Bolsonaro’s presidential palace produced social media content aimed at undermining the rule of law. The group, allegedly comprised of aides and Bolsonaro’s politician son, has been widely referred to as a digital militia and “the hate cabinet.” STATUS: Both investigations are ongoing. ___ Biller reported from Rio de Janeiro
