taya ph365 WASHINGTON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - A raft of drone sightings in New Jersey and other U.S. states has underscored gaps in U.S. airspace security that need to be closed, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for national security adviser, Mike Waltz, said on Sunday. President Joe Biden's outgoing administration has played down concerns about a growing number of reported drone sightings, saying most of them involve manned aircraft and stressing that there is no evidence of any national security threat. But U.S. lawmakers, including some of Biden's fellow Democrats, have expressed frustration the government is not being more transparent and more aggressive in addressing public concerns. Waltz said Americans were growing frustrated with the failure of Biden's administration to clarify what information they have on the drone reports. "What the drone issue points out are kind of gaps in our agencies, gaps in our authorities between the Department of Homeland Security, local law enforcement, the Defense Department," Waltz told CBS News' Face the Nation. "President Trump has talked about an Iron Dome for America," Waltz said, referring to Israel's missile defense system. "That needs to include drones as well, not just adversarial actions like hypersonic missiles." Developed with U.S. backing, Israel's Iron Dome is a mobile air defense system designed to intercept short-range rockets and artillery shells that endanger populated areas. The spate of reported drone sightings began in New Jersey in mid-November but has spread in recent days to include Maryland, Massachusetts and other U.S. states. The sightings have garnered media attention and prompted creation of a Facebook page called "New Jersey Mystery Drones - let's solve it" with nearly 70,000 online members. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the U.S. response, saying his agency had deployed personnel and technology. "If there is any reason for concern, if we identify any foreign involvement or criminal activity, we will communicate with the American public accordingly. Right now we are not aware of any," Mayorkas told ABC News. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, played down concerns that America's enemies would send drones over U.S. cities when they can use satellites to safely and easily surveil the U.S. He said the Federal Aviation Administration, which regulates civilian airspace, should do more to allay public concerns. "When people are anxious, when they're nervous ...people will fill a vacuum with their fears and anxieties," Himes said. Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar urged the Biden administration to hold a briefing for senators to explain "what's going on here." "We need more transparency," Klobuchar said. She also called for a look at regulation. "Because this just can't be: 'No one knows why this huge drone is right over their house.'" Sign up here.

WINNIPEG — Kyle Walters doesn’t believe losing a third consecutive Grey Cup means the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ roster should be blown up. The CFL club’s general manager told reporters at his year-end availability Tuesday that reaching a fifth straight championship game by overcoming lots of injuries was a big accomplishment. Even before Winnipeg’s recent 41-24 Grey Cup loss to the Toronto Argonauts, Walters said he was looking forward to next season. “I was excited for next year based on what I'm looking at, compared to years past, where we've got more young guys that have contributed that are under contract," he said. "We've got more young players in the building. So, the idea of, ‘This is the end of the road. The team is in a free-for-all downward,’ I don’t think is accurate. "We have a good group of guys and we were in a one-point (Grey Cup) game with 10 minutes left ... before things went downhill.” The Blue Bombers started the season 0-4, moved to 2-6 and finished 11-7 to claim the West Division title. Star receiver Dalton Schoen, veteran linebacker Adam Bighill and backup quarterback Chris Streveler all suffered season-ending injuries and are pending free agents. Negotiating with the team’s 27 unsigned players could be impacted by moves across the league among coaches, personnel staff and players such as quarterbacks, Walters said. The Bombers have given permission for offensive coordinator Buck Pierce to speak to the B.C. Lions and Edmonton Elks about those teams’ vacant head-coaching jobs, he said. Walters also revealed the Ottawa Redblacks were given the go-ahead to talk to Richie Hall about their defensive coordinator vacancy. Hall was a Winnipeg defensive assistant this season after Jordan Younger took over from him as defensive coordinator. Walters said the Bombers received permission to speak to Lions offensive coordinator Jordan Maksymic in case Pierce leaves. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have already been given the OK to talk to Winnipeg assistant general managers Danny McManus and Ted Goveia about the Ticats’ GM opening. “You're hesitant to have too much conversation with people who may not be in the organization next year, so it's just been me and (head coach) Mike (O’Shea) in this moment huddled together and talking about next year,” Walters said. He said an NFL team had asked Tuesday morning to work out one Blue Bomber, but he didn’t reveal the player’s name in case he wasn’t aware of the request yet. The Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup in 2019 and ’21, but lost 28-24 to the Montreal Alouettes last year and 24-23 to Toronto in 2022. Winnipeg re-signed placekicker Sergio Castillo last week. Walters said he’d like to have deals done with three or four main players before the end of the year. The team has some up-and-coming young players inked for next year, and injuries gave others valuable experience on both sides of the ball, Walters said. Receivers such as rookie Ontaria Wilson (1,026 yards receiving in 18 games) and Keric Wheatfall (273 yards in seven games) are signed through next season. “The experience that they got was invaluable,” Walters said. Re-signing players who missed time because of injuries can get tricky. “Organizationally, can we approach (their agents) and say, 'Well, your guy was hurt, he should come back for less money?’” Walters said. “Generally, they don't view it like that. They view that they'll be back 100 per cent.” One question mark is the backup to starting quarterback Zach Collaros, who suffered a deep cut to the index finger of his throwing hand late in the third quarter of the Grey Cup. Collaros got five stitches and numbing agent applied to his finger. He returned with a bandage on it, but admitted he had a hard time gripping the ball. “We'll have to find out who our offensive coordinator is first,” Walters said when asked who might be Collaros’s backup. Terry Wilson, who briefly replaced Collaros in the Grey Cup, and Jake Dolegala are signed for next year. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024.

(AP) — Sira Thienou scored 16 points with six rebounds, five assists and four steals and No. 18 Mississippi coasted to an 89-24 win over Alabama State on Saturday.

Hongqi L7:

Benjamin Franklin wanted a turkey for the National Bird. The 40-pound bruiser tom hailing from a McCleod County farm that hopped atop the table Tuesday at the State Capitol probably thought the Founding Father was talking about him. “Ahh-yeah,” cheered Gov. Tim Walz, in a laid-back sweater vest and blazer, at the annual Thanksgiving ceremony in the oil-painting-adorned reception room. “If you speak at the Worthington Turkey Day event...you have to kiss the turkey.” No one dared get any closer. Tuesday marked the return of Minnesota farm country’s favorite anticlimactic moment: when state officials recognize, but don’t spare, a turkey from his seasonal dinner-plate fate. Unlike the two lucky birds from Northfield that flew to Washington D.C. this week for high-thread-count sheets at the Willard Intercontinental and a Monday morning pardoning by President Joe Biden at the White House, the turkey named “Tom” by his FFA handler, Paisley VonBerge, and who spread wide his wings for a couple emphatic sweeps before staring down First Lady Gwen Walz, will accept a more traditional turkey fate. “After today, this turkey will go back to my farm to be enjoyed the way turkeys were intended to be enjoyed,” Paisley said. It’s unclear the origin of this Minnesota Nice tradition , though it’s prized in a state with more turkey producers, and processors, than anywhere across the country. Still, Tuesday’s ceremony had added political weight, as the governor, who just weeks ago drew the white-hot spotlight of a U.S. presidential race, continues to return to the ordinary, sometimes mundane ceremonies of running a state. “They do it differently in D.C.,” Walz said, referring to Biden’s pardon. “Here in Minnesota we know turkeys are delicious.” Walz appeared jovial, joking about racing turkeys in Worthington and alluding to a lake near Hutchinson where he and his wife were married. For the second consecutive day, the state’s chief executive, who campaigned since early August as running mate to Vice President Kamala Harris in her ultimately foiled bid for the presidency, took questions from the press behind a podium. Topics ranged from a judge who halted Minnesota’s cannabis business license lottery to mining in northern Minnesota to whether he was regretful for joining Harris. “No regrets,” he said, noting the Harris-Walz ticket campaigned on a message “that 75 million Americans liked, but not quite enough.” On Monday evening, President-elect Donald Trump announced on social media his plan to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, a move that could draw retaliation. Speaking beside Walz on Tuesday, Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Thom Peterson noted 74% of the state’s agriculture exports are to Mexico. “Our main partners are always Mexico and Canada,” Petersen said. Asked whether the DFL losing full control of the state House was a verdict on DFL governance, Walz said, “I see a very close and divided country.” It’s also a country that largely comes together for Thanksgiving, for football, a balloon parade in New York City, and turkey, even if the red-wattled, strange-footed, flightless bird never scaled to the heights of the bald eagle.

At first glance, the concept of a Spam-and-Rice Combo may seem unappetizing and unoriginal. After all, Spam, a canned meat product made from pork shoulder and ham, has long been ridiculed for its processed nature and high sodium content. Couple that with a bed of plain white rice, and it's easy to see why some would turn up their noses at this unassuming dish.

Creating History! The Birth of the Second Chinese Player to Start Against Atletico Madrid, Following in the Footsteps of Wu Lei, is Something to Look Forward To

DULUTH — Minnesota Duluth senior goaltender Tindra Holm picked up her 19th collegiate shutout Saturday by making just 12 saves in a 2-0 win for the No. 4-ranked Bulldogs against Bemidji State in WCHA play at Amsoil Arena. Junior defenseman Tova Henderson and fifth-year senior wing Olivia Mobley scored the Bulldogs' goals to complete the series sweep following an 8-1 win on Friday. ADVERTISEMENT Beavers sophomore goaltender Eva Filippova, who came on in relief Friday, finished with 37 saves, but no offensive support from her teammates. “I thought they did a really good job of blocking a lot of the shots that we were taking today,” Bulldogs coach Laura Schuler said. BSU was credited with 18 blocked shots on UMD’s 70 shot attempts. “We really had to work to get the two goals that we got.” Highlights Schuler wasn’t willing to call Friday’s 8-1 win perfect because of some defensive lapses by the Bulldogs. UMD got away from “Bulldog hockey” at times on Friday, she said. “That’s playing honest hockey and defense first, and staying true to our habits,” Schuler said. Saturday was much closer to “Bulldog hockey,” according to Schuler, who is always thinking of the big picture instead of just the short-term joy an 8-1 dismantling might bring. “It’s awesome to get another two wins under our belt,” Schuler said. “And for us it’s about cultivating good habits — good habits that are going to help carry us through every game we play.” The Bulldogs were confident on Saturday. That was Schuler’s biggest positive from Saturday’s game. It’s easy to be confident when you’re leading by five, six or seven goals. It’s a different story when you’re up by one or two goals. ADVERTISEMENT “They were still playing with that confidence and that poise versus panicking,” Schuler said. “I didn’t think we panicked at all today, even though it was a close game on the scoreboard. I was super, super happy with the girls and how they were playing.” Henderson finishes with three goals in the series and now has five through 14 games in 2024-25 after scoring just two in her first 77 games as a Bulldogs freshman and sophomore. Henderson gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead 12:47 into the game, scoring on UMD’s one and only power play of the game. After scoring twice on Friday, Henderson heaped credit for the uptick in offense on her defensive partner, fifth-year senior Nina Jobst-Smith, in her postgame interview. Henderson said playing with Jobst-Smith gives her confidence, and Jobst-Smith said that’s exactly what has stood out to her about Henderson this year. “She’s always had the skill set in college and I feel like her and I have taken similar paths in that sense, having a slower start to our careers,” Jobst-Smith said. “Once we get going, we’re hot. Tova is hitting that point in her career where she is going to be producing for us all night long.” The Olivias lead the Bulldogs in goals scored through 14 games with Mobley getting her sixth on Saturday after fellow fifth-year senior Olivia Wallin got a hat trick on Friday. Wallin assisted on a snipe by Mobley in the second period to put the Bulldogs up by two. Mobley credited her teammates, and good habits from the previous shift for setting up the score. ADVERTISEMENT “(Wallin) gave me a nice breakout pass, we had speed coming through,” Mobley said of her goal, that came on a two-versus-one rush with senior center Jenna Lawry. Mobley kept the puck and took the shot herself. “Jenna drove back door, which was huge. It pushed the goalie back. “It starts in the (defensive) zone, with those little habits. That was a whole play before, a shift before setting it up. I was just able to execute on that one and get it done.” Holm picked up her second shutout as a Bulldog on Saturday after posting 16 in three seasons at Long Island University. Holm only had to make two saves in the opening 20 minutes before the Beavers started getting a few more pucks on her during a power play in the second period. Saturday’s 12 saves were not the fewest Holm has had to make to get a shutout. She stopped 9-of-9 for the Sharks on Jan. 27, 2023, against St. Michael as a sophomore and 6-of-6 on Oct. 29, 2021 as a freshman, also against St. Michael. Up next The Bulldogs will host Vermont for a nonconference series at 6:01 p.m. on Friday and 3:01 p.m. Saturday over Thanksgiving weekend. It’s the second of three nonconference series on this year’s schedule. Box score Bemidji State 0-0-0—0 Minnesota Duluth 1-1-0—0 First period 1.
