Indiana got what it wanted Tuesday night in a 97-71 rout of Sam Houston State -- a lopsided victory where its bench played well and it didn't have to go down to the wire. The Hoosiers will look for more of the same Friday night in Bloomington when they continue their homestand against nonconference foe Miami (Ohio). Four players scored in double figures for Indiana (6-2) against the Bearkats, including 18 from reserve Luke Goode. The Illinois transfer hit four 3-pointers in less than four minutes of the first half, enabling the Hoosiers to take a 34-12 lead. Led by Goode, Indiana's bench contributed a whopping 36 points. "I thought it was a total team effort on everybody's part," Hoosiers coach Mike Woodson said. "Helps when your bench come off and play the way they did. Goode was fantastic but everybody off the bench played well." Indiana also got an encouraging 19-point performance from point guard Myles Rice, who struggled a bit in the first seven games in terms of making shots and running the offense. Rice (11.1 ppg) is one of four double-figure scorers in an attack led by Mackenzie Mgbako (16.8). Meanwhile, the RedHawks (5-2) are coming off a 73-60 home win Monday against Air Force. Bellarmine transfer Peter Suder poured in a career-high 42 points on 17-of-21 shooting, the highest-scoring game in program history since Wally Szczerbiak scored 43 in 1999. Suder, who averaged 10.5 ppg as a sophomore last season, is up to 17.4 ppg this season. He's hitting 58.8 percent of his field goals while also chipping in 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals. "I always say players win games, man. Coaches lose games," Miami coach Travis Steele told the Journal-News. "Peter was phenomenal. It was just get out of the way and just let him go." Forward Kam Craft, who Steele landed out of high school when he was still coaching at Xavier, is the RedHawks' second-leading scorer at 14.1 ppg. The Hoosiers have won 22 of the previous 25 meetings, including an 86-56 rout two years ago in Indianapolis. --Field Level MediaThe Jets’ kicking situation is up in the air. Does that sound familiar? In the wake of Anders Carlson missing an extra point and a field goal in the 19-9 loss to the Rams , the Jets signed Greg Joseph to the practice squad. Joseph is the fourth kicker the team has employed this season since Greg Zuerlein struggled and was placed on IR with a left knee injury . Riley Patterson, Spencer Shrader and Carlson have filled in since. If Joseph kicks on Sunday, he’ll be the fifth kicker they’ve used this season. “We’re going to let these guys compete as the week goes on and see how it goes, put the best guy out there,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said. He said bringing Zuerlein off IR is “absolutely been part of the conversation.’’ Asked if Zuerlein is healthy enough to kick again, Ulbrich said, “We’re going to see how he’s doing, and if he’s feeling up to it and he’s feeling good, then we’ll open up his [practice] window.’’ The Jets’ previous game against the Bills, in Week 6 at home, was Ulbrich’s debut as the team’s interim head coach. Robert Saleh had just been fired. Tuesday, Ulbrich recalled the day of that game. “It was exciting, it was nerve-racking, it was overwhelming, it was fun, it was all of those things,” he said. “Every emotion that you could imagine I felt, and it was a blur in a lot of ways. Since then, felt like I’ve settled in and I’m getting much more comfortable in this role. But yeah, it was definitely a whirlwind that night.’’

As the climate changes, so too should our expectations of nature — and just how much it will put up with. Take so-called carbon sinks. This term refers to reservoirs, natural or otherwise, that absorb more carbon dioxide than they emit, helping to regulate the Earth’s temperature and keep the worst outcomes of climate change at bay. Forests and plants, soils and the ocean all do this vital yet underappreciated work. But they have their limit, and last year demonstrated that. In a typical year, forests and land absorb about 30 per cent of the carbon emissions we release. However, in 2023, the warmest year on record, land-based carbon sinks soaked up almost zero CO2 as a net category, according to from a team of international researchers that was recently highlighted by . The severity of droughts and wildfires experienced last year, particularly here in Canada, helps to explain the drop-off in carbon absorption: droughts diminish the land’s capacity for carbon uptake, while fires transform a forest from a CO2 sponge into a tail pipe. “The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models — and could rapidly accelerate global heating,” Patrick Greenfield, The Guardian’s biodiversity and environment reporter. The reaction to this research among climate watchers was swift. Many fretted over the prospect of an accelerated climate crisis. , noting that 2023 coincided with an extreme El Nino, which typically brings warmer and drier weather, increasing the likelihood of drought and fires. So, just how worried should we be? Ahead of COP29, which , the Star asked climate scientist Damon Matthews for his two cents. Matthews is a professor at Concordia University and the co-creator of the , a digital countdown that shows how much time is left before human-driven CO2 emissions push global temperatures past a 1.5 degrees C increase over pre-industrial levels, the threshold agreed upon in the 2015 Paris Climate Accords. , scientists predict even more extreme weather, pressures on agriculture and access to water, an increased risk of insect-borne disease and more. The clock currently says we’re six years away from crossing that red line if current trends continue. And there’s no sign they won’t. We should be much more worried that we haven’t decreased our emissions. Fundamentally, if we don’t decrease our emissions really fast none of the other pieces are going to matter. So fire is really important, and that’s one of the reasons we need to decrease our emissions, because there is a limit to the earth’s capacity to absorb the carbon we put into the atmosphere ... The biggest reason for concern is that we’re still cutting down the Amazon forests and in Canada, we’re still cutting down forests that otherwise would be absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. And to me, from a climate perspective, it’s a much bigger concern than the extent of forest fires in a particular year ... and that’s something we can control. There is a tendency to think of the boreal forest or Canada’s ecosystems as a contribution to climate mitigation. And I think (with) the immediate implication of increasing fire severity in Canada, that argument falls apart ... We’re not going to achieve our net zero target by 2050 by relying on Canada’s forests to absorb carbon ... In order to reach that target, we need to decarbonize the energy system. And if we don’t do that, whatever happens with the landmass is not even going to make a dent in our emissions. And so part of the upshot of this story, and also the wildfire trends over the last decade, is that it’s more and more the case that the net carbon balance of Canada’s land mass is not going to be helpful in achieving that net zero. And probably by the time we get to 2050, it may actually be a source of carbon rather than a sink. The short answer is no. We do have conservation targets in Canada. And there is a recognition that conserving forests is important, and (addressing) climate (change) is a part of that rationale. I think those targets are more related to biodiversity targets than climate targets probably. So, I don’t think there’s a lot of understanding that any kind of disturbance in the forest system is going to lead to less carbon in that system. And that the number one disturbance is actually human activity, not forest fires. Meeting the would be a good start. I think acknowledging and empowering Indigenous governance of land would be another really good step in the right direction. Recognizing that any industrial operation that occurs in a forested landscape is going to affect the carbon of that landscape, and that should be measured and reported and acknowledged. I mean the oil sands in Alberta is having a pretty negative effect on carbon sink capacity, totally aside from all of the oil being brought out. On balance, I haven’t seen any evidence that models are out to lunch in terms of how they’re representing land carbon uptake (which is) . And also land carbon uptake is only one piece of the climate picture in general. I think it’s a difficult question because there is a tendency for the news media to take a lot of individual scientific findings and say, ‘This is the thing that’s going to convince the world that we need to take climate change seriously.’ And partly because it’s so hard to get the world to take climate change seriously. And so I support that because we do need to take climate change seriously. At the same time, the fact that 2023 year was a bad year for land carbon uptake does not mean that the world is collapsing. Even if the world might be collapsing. It’s not because of that. That’s just the latest symptom. Absolutely. We should also be heeding warnings that the world’s coral reefs are at the verge of collapse because of warming ocean temperatures and that hurricanes are getting stronger and stronger over time because of warmer ocean temperatures. Even if you live in your little Canadian bubble and all you can talk about is hockey, you should be really concerned that we’re not gonna be able to skate outdoors in Canada within 20 years. It’s very expensive and very hard to do at any scale right now. Most people who talk about carbon removal see this as a multi-decadal process of building the capacity and the technologies. And at some point, later in the century, we might be able to compensate for those emissions that we are not able to get rid of through decarbonization. We would have to have an entirely parallel energy system devoted only to carbon removal to absorb all of our emissions. It’s the most simple and it’s generally the cheapest option. Certainly, the only certain solution ... We don’t really know how to prevent the land from emitting carbon very well ... But we do know that if we decommission all of the coal plants in Canada and replace them with solar and wind, that is going to decrease emissions. We know that. And so why not just do that instead of worrying about all the other stuff that’s a lot harder. It is sometimes, yeah.Sports on TV for Nov. 23 - 24
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield reverses decision to put a time limit on anesthesiaThe Shrimpers host Ebbsfleet United at Roots Hall on Boxing Day. And Maher is desperate to send what promises to be another big crowd home happy. “You always get a big crowd in for Boxing Day and I think everyone has been indoors for 24 hours so they want to get out to watch football and their team,” said Maher. “It’s a tradition and it’s one I enjoy. “They’re normally local games as well that families all go to and enjoy their day. “Our job is to make sure they do enjoy it by getting the right result.” Blues, who sit 16th in the standings, will be favourites for the game against their rock bottom opponents. But Maher knows Ebbsfleet will also be fired up for the clash. "They're having a difficult time but anyone coming to Roots Hall knowing there's 7,000 or 8,000 there will be up for it and a lot of teams are," said Maher. "Our job is to deal with that and put on a good performance to get a good result. "Ebbsfleet will be wanting to improve and it's our job to make sure that doesn't happen. "We've got to go and win the game." The Shrimpers will be bidding to bounce back from Saturday's 3-0 defeat at York City. And Maher has made sure the players quickly forgot about the setback. "There's obvious disappointment from Saturday in terms of the result," said Maher. "We review it, go through it and look at what we can do better but you've got to get over it quickly because you have to prepare again and train properly like we've done today" However, Maher also felt there were some positives to take from Saturday's game. "You have to take away the good stuff too," said the Blues boss. "The disappointing thing is the goals we conceded and how quickly they came put the game out of sight. "The positive spin is that for 65 minutes we've gone to a team who full of confidence and been a match in certain areas. "We've been competitive and had our moments which if they go the way you want then the games changes but it didn't and we've got to do better."
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir held an urgent meeting of top security brass on Friday after a shootout at the home of powerful former spy chief Akol Koor, who was sacked almost two months ago amid rumours of a coup plot. Gunfire erupted on Thursday evening in the capital Juba, sparking concerns about the stability of the world's youngest country that is already plagued by power struggles, ethnic infighting and a deep economic malaise. The shooting around the home of Koor, who was fired by Kiir in early October and placed under house arrest, caused panic among local residents before it was contained after about an hour. Following the meeting, South Sudan People's Defence Forces (SSPDF) spokesman Lul Ruai Koang said the incident took place after a "misunderstanding" between security forces attempting to relocate the ex-head of the National Security Services. Koang said Koor had now agreed to the relocation "with his dear wife, one bodyguard, and a cook" elsewhere in the city. He would be provided with additional army protection at his new residence, but Koang emphasised he was not under "their (army) detention." He said four people, two civilians and two soldiers, had been killed during the confrontation. The meeting convened by Kiir included the heads of defence, police, national security and military intelligence. A source in the presidency press unit said Koor was also present. The Sudans Post newspaper quoted a security official as saying the meeting had "resolved all outstanding tensions" and that the spy chief and his family "have been assured of their safety". In an alert to its staff on the ground on Thursday, the United Nations in South Sudan had said the shooting was linked to the arrest of the former spymaster and advised people to take cover. Koang told AFP that Koor "remains at his house", and denied claims circulating on social media that he had fled to the UN compound in Juba. There was a heavy deployment of military forces around his home in the Thongpiny district, an AFP correspondent said, but traffic has resumed and people were going about their daily business. Police spokesman John Kassara said the situation was now calm but that Thongpiny remained sealed off and residents "should remain vigilant". Koor became head of the feared National Security Services (NSS) after South Sudan's independence in 2011 but was sacked in October leading to widespread speculation he had been planning to overthrow Kiir. After his dismissal from the NSS, Koor was appointed governor of Warrap State, Kiir's home state, but this was abruptly revoked by the president before he took the oath of office. Koang said there had been a "misunderstanding" between two security services forces present at Koor's residence when a third unit arrived for the relocation. "That was the start of the armed confrontation that you heard," he said. Four people, two servicemen and two civilians, were killed in the incident, he said, and two civilians were wounded. Koor's sacking came just two weeks after Kiir again postponed by two years, to December 2026, the first elections in the nation's history. The delay has exasperated the international community, which has been pressing the country's leaders to complete a transitional process, including unifying rival armed forces and drawing up a constitution. The NSS was at the centre of controversy in July when parliament approved amendments to legislation allowing the agency to continue to arrest -- without a warrant -- anyone accused of offences against the state, raising alarm among rights groups and South Sudan's international partners. The country has struggled to recover from a brutal civil war between forces loyal to Kiir and his now deputy Riek Machar from 2013 to 2018 that killed about 400,000 people and drove millions from their homes. It remains one of the poorest and most corrupt countries on the planet and continues to be plagued by chronic instability and climate disasters. str-txw-rbu/giv

Trump vows to pursue executions after Biden commutes most of federal death row
By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to “vigorously pursue” capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions. Related Articles National Politics | Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreams National Politics | Trump’s picks for top health jobs not just team of rivals but ‘team of opponents’ National Politics | Hitman who killed Navy officer in Newport News among 37 death row inmates commuted by Biden National Politics | Biden will decide on US Steel acquisition after influential panel fails to reach consensus National Politics | Ford to give $1 million for Trump inauguration Trump criticized Biden’s decision on Monday to change the sentences of 37 of the 40 condemned people to life in prison without parole, arguing that it was senseless and insulted the families of their victims. Biden said converting their punishments to life imprisonment was consistent with the moratorium imposed on federal executions in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder. “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” he wrote on his social media site. “When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!” Presidents historically have no involvement in dictating or recommending the punishments that federal prosecutors seek for defendants in criminal cases, though Trump has long sought more direct control over the Justice Department’s operations. The president-elect wrote that he would direct the department to pursue the death penalty “as soon as I am inaugurated,” but was vague on what specific actions he may take and said they would be in cases of “violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.” He highlighted the cases of two men who were on federal death row for slaying a woman and a girl, had admitted to killing more and had their sentences commuted by Biden. On the campaign trail, Trump often called for expanding the federal death penalty — including for those who kill police officers, those convicted of drug and human trafficking, and migrants who kill U.S. citizens. “Trump has been fairly consistent in wanting to sort of say that he thinks the death penalty is an important tool and he wants to use it,” said Douglas Berman, an expert on sentencing at Ohio State University’s law school. “But whether practically any of that can happen, either under existing law or other laws, is a heavy lift.” Berman said Trump’s statement at this point seems to be just a response to Biden’s commutation. “I’m inclined to think it’s still in sort of more the rhetoric phase. Just, ‘don’t worry. The new sheriff is coming. I like the death penalty,’” he said. Most Americans have historically supported the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to decades of annual polling by Gallup, but support has declined over the past few decades. About half of Americans were in favor in an October poll, while roughly 7 in 10 Americans backed capital punishment for murderers in 2007. Before Biden’s commutation, there were 40 federal death row inmates compared with more than 2,000 who have been sentenced to death by states. “The reality is all of these crimes are typically handled by the states,” Berman said. A question is whether the Trump administration would try to take over some state murder cases, such as those related to drug trafficking or smuggling. He could also attempt to take cases from states that have abolished the death penalty. Berman said Trump’s statement, along with some recent actions by states, may present an effort to get the Supreme Court to reconsider a precedent that considers the death penalty disproportionate punishment for rape. “That would literally take decades to unfold. It’s not something that is going to happen overnight,” Berman said. Before one of Trump’s rallies on Aug. 20, his prepared remarks released to the media said he would announce he would ask for the death penalty for child rapists and child traffickers. But Trump never delivered the line. One of the men Trump highlighted on Tuesday was ex-Marine Jorge Avila Torrez, who was sentenced to death for killing a sailor in Virginia and later pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbing of an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old girl in a suburban Chicago park several years before. The other man, Thomas Steven Sanders, was sentenced to death for the kidnapping and slaying of a 12-year-old girl in Louisiana, days after shooting the girl’s mother in a wildlife park in Arizona. Court records show he admitted to both killings. Some families of victims expressed anger with Biden’s decision, but the president had faced pressure from advocacy groups urging him to make it more difficult for Trump to increase the use of capital punishment for federal inmates. The ACLU and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were some of the groups that applauded the decision. Biden left three federal inmates to face execution. They are Dylann Roof, who carried out the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history.

Nvidia's AI audio model, Claude's new features, and funding for AI agents: This week's AI launchesThe decision was made at the ministerial level by Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba, as stated in a letter sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Parliament Secretariat on November 6, 2024. Foreign Ministry letter No. UN/10/4080, addressed to the Parliament Secretariat, stated that the Ministry had concluded that the organization inviting the House Speaker appears to consist of individuals from non-parliamentary backgrounds. The Secretariat of Speaker Ghimire forwarded the invitation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for evaluation. After reviewing the invitation and considering feedback from its embassies, the foreign Ministry advised that the program was not suitable for his participation. However, Ghimire departed for Cambodia, disregarding the Foreign Ministry’s recommendation that he abstain from attending. Nepal News obtained the House Speaker’s invitation letter dated September 5, 2024, which stated: “Invitation to the 11th Plenary Session of the International Parliament for Tolerance and Peace (IPTP) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, from November 23 to 26, 2024, and Co-sponsorship of the Peace Charter.” The International Parliament for Tolerance and Peace (IPTP) has informed that the program will be co-hosted by the Parliament of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Global Council for Tolerance and Peace (GCTP) from November 23 to 26, 2024, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. According to the invitation letter, the program is divided into two sub-themes: 1. Advancing the Architecture of Peace, Peacebuilding, Reconciliation, and Tolerance: Synergy of Governments, Parliaments, and Civil Society 2. Solidifying Multilateralism, Cooperation, and Partnership for Coexistence and Inclusive Connectivity.
