Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’The Government has announced it is doubling funds to support workers and businesses affected by job losses at a giant Tata steel plant. Ministers said an extra £15 million will be made available for supply chain businesses and workers affected by changes at Tata’s Port Talbot site in south Wales. Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens said the move means a fund to support businesses across Wales heavily reliant on Tata steel will be increased to £30 million. She also announced that more businesses will be able to apply for the funds, and the value of individual grants is increasing to up to £250,000 for businesses to invest in equipment, property, technology. The Government said there has been “significant demand” on the existing funding, with almost 40 businesses employing 2,000 people having begun the application process. Grants worth millions of pounds are expected to be released in the new year. The increase in funding is in anticipation of more people leaving Tata in early 2025 through the company’s voluntary redundancy scheme. Ms Stevens said: “This Government is acting decisively to support workers and businesses in Port Talbot. “We are doubling the funding available to businesses and workers and widening access to grants to ensure we support as many people as possible. “In just four months we have announced more than £40 million in investment. We said we would back workers and businesses affected by the transition at Port Talbot and we are doing exactly that. “While this remains a very difficult time for Tata workers, their families and the community, we are determined to support workers and businesses in our Welsh steel industry, whatever happens.”

No team has managed to chase as many runs at MCG, with the most successful chase being by England, who completed a pursuit of 332 runs back in 1928. It is also the only time that a 300-run total was chased at the venue in Tests, with the second-highest chase being a 297-run chase by England against Australia in 1895, Wisden reported. Coming to the match, Australia won the toss and opted to bat first. Half-centuries from Konstas (60 in 65 balls, with six fours and two sixes), Usman Khawaja (57 in 121 balls, with six fours), Marnus Labuschagne (72 in 145 balls, with seven fours) and 34th Test ton from Steve Smith (140 in 197 balls, with 13 fours and three sixes) took Australia to 474/10 in their first innings. Bumrah (4/99) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/78) were the lead pacer and spinner for the team, while Akash Deep got two wickets and Washington Sundar got one scalp.

(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )BOSTON — Forty years ago, Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie rolled to his right and threw a pass that has become one of college football’s most iconic moments. With Boston College trailing defending champion Miami, Flutie threw the Hail Mary and found receiver Gerard Phalen, who made the grab while falling into the end zone behind a pair of defenders for a game-winning 48-yard TD. Flutie and many of his 1984 teammates were honored on the field during BC’s 41-21 victory over North Carolina before the second quarter on Saturday afternoon, the anniversary of the Eagles’ Miracle in Miami. “There’s no way its been 40 years,” Flutie told The Associated Press on the sideline a few minutes before he walked out with some of his former teammates to be recognized after a video of The Play was shown on the scoreboards. A statue commemorating Doug Flutie's famed "Hail Mary" pass during a game against Miami on Nov. 23, 1994, sits outside Alumni Stadium at Boston College. Famous football plays often attain a legendary status with religious names like the "Immaculate Reception," the "Hail Mary" pass and the Holy Roller fumble. It’s a moment and highlight that’s not only played throughout decades of BC students and fans, but around the college football world. “What is really so humbling is that the kids 40 years later are wearing 22 jerseys, still,” Flutie said of his old number. “That amazes me.” That game was played on national TV the Friday after Thanksgiving. The ironic thing is it was originally scheduled for earlier in the season before CBS paid Rutgers to move its game against Miami, thus setting up the BC-Miami post-holiday matchup. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie rejoices in his brother Darren's arms after B.C. defeats Miami with a last second touchdown pass on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami. “It shows you how random some things are, that the game was moved,” Flutie said. “The game got moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving, which was the most watched game of the year. We both end up being nationally ranked and up there. All those things lent to how big the game itself was, and made the pass and the catch that much more relevant and remembered because so many people were watching.” There’s a statue of Flutie winding up to make The Pass outside the north gates at Alumni Stadium. Fans and visitors can often be seen taking photos there. “In casual conversation, it comes up every day,” Flutie said, when asked how many times people bring it up. “It brings a smile to my face every time we talk about it.” A week after the game-ending Flutie pass, the Eagles beat Holy Cross and before he flew off to New York to accept the Heisman. They went on to win the 49th Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie evades Miami defensive tackle Kevin Fagan during the first quarter of a game on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami, Fla. “Forty years seem almost like incomprehensible,” said Phalen, also standing on the sideline a few minutes after the game started. “I always say to Doug: ‘Thank God for social media. It’s kept it alive for us.”’ Earlier this week, current BC coach Bill O’Brien, 55, was asked if he remembered where he was 40 years ago. “We were eating Thanksgiving leftovers in my family room,” he said. “My mom was saying a Rosary in the kitchen because she didn’t like Miami and wanted BC to win. My dad, my brother and I were watching the game. “It was unbelievable,” he said. “Everybody remembers where they were for the Hail Mary, Flutie pass.” Mike Tyson, left, slaps Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight bout, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Irving, Texas.

US budget airlines are struggling. Will pursuing premium passengers solve their problems? DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. Bitcoin ticks closer to $100,000 in extended surge following US elections NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, setting another new high above $99,000. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. Supreme Court steps into fight over FCC's $8 billion subsidies for internet and phone services WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has stepped into a major legal fight over the $8 billion a year the federal government spends to subsidize phone and internet services in schools, libraries and rural areas, in a new test of federal regulatory power. The justices on Friday agreed to review an appellate ruling that struck down as unconstitutional the Universal Service Fund. The Federal Communications Commission collects money from telecommunications providers, who then pass the cost on to their customers. The Biden administration appealed the lower court ruling, but the case probably won’t be argued until late March. At that point, the Trump administration will be in place and it is not clear whether it will take a different view of the issue. Stock market today: Wall Street gains ground as it notches a winning week and another Dow record Stocks closed higher on Wall Street, giving the market its fifth gain in a row and notching another record high for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Friday. The Dow added 1%, and the Nasdaq composite tacked on 0.2%. Retailers had some of the biggest gains. Gap soared after reporting quarterly results that easily beat analysts' estimates. EchoStar fell after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. Australia rejects Elon Musk's claim that it plans to control access to the internet MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — An Australian Cabinet minister has rejected X Corp. owner Elon Musk’s allegation that the government intends to control all Australians' access to the internet through legislation that would ban young children from social media. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said on Friday that Musk’s criticism was “unsurprising” after the government introduced legislation to Parliament that would fine platforms including X up to $133 million for allowing children under 16 to hold social media accounts. The spat continues months of open hostility between the Australian government and the tech billionaire over regulators’ efforts to reduce public harm from social media. Parliament could pass the legislation as soon as next week. Oil company Phillips 66 faces federal charges related to alleged Clean Water Act violations LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oil company Phillips 66 has been federally indicted in connection with alleged violations of the Clean Water Act in California. The Texas-based company is accused of discharging hundreds of thousands of gallons of industrial wastewater containing excessive amounts of oil and grease. The U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment on Thursday. Phillips is charged with two counts of negligently violating the Clean Water Act and four counts of knowingly violating the Clean Water Act. An arraignment date has not been set. A spokesperson for the company said it was cooperating with prosecutors. US regulators seek to break up Google, forcing Chrome sale as part of monopoly punishment U.S. regulators want a federal judge to break up Google to prevent the company from continuing to squash competition through its dominant search engine after a court found it had maintained an abusive monopoly over the past decade. The proposed breakup floated in a 23-page document filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Justice Department calls for Google to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser and impose restrictions designed to prevent Android from favoring its search engine. Regulators also want to ban Google from forging multibillion-dollar deals to lock in its dominant search engine as the default option on Apple’s iPhone and other devices. New York judge rejects state efforts to shutter bitcoin mine over climate concerns NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge has rejected an effort by state regulators to shutter a bitcoin mine over concerns about its greenhouse gas emissions. The decision will allow the Greenidge power plant to continue operating in the Finger Lakes region of the state. The state had previously found the gas-powered crypto mine ran afoul of a climate law intended to limit greenhouse gas emissions. But on Thursday, a state Supreme Court judge found Greenidge was entitled to a process to defend its continued operation. Environmental groups have protested the facility, which they allege is pumping emissions into the air while contaminating the nearby Seneca Lake. What you need to know about the proposed measures designed to curb Google's search monopoly U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled that Google maintained an illegal monopoly. The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday could radically alter Google’s business. Regulators want Google to sell off its industry-leading Chrome web browser. They outlined a range of behavioral measures such as prohibiting Google from using search results to favor its own services such as YouTube, and forcing it to license search index data to its rivals. They're not going as far as to demand Google spin off Android, but are leaving that door open if the remedies don't work. Apple and Google face UK investigation into mobile browser dominance LONDON (AP) — A British watchdog says Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers. The watchdog's report Friday recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year. The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker’s tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. The CMA’s report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers “the clearest or easiest option.” Apple said it disagreed with the findings.Ernst to head new Senate DOGE CaucusWillow weaving reimagined: NIFT students craft future of Kashmiri artistry

MacKenzie Scott gives rare third gift to medical debt relief groupEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — With Tommy DeVito still dealing with a sore forearm, Drew Lock will make his second straight start at quarterback for the Giants when New York plays host to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Coach Brian Daboll announced the decision on Wednesday, saying Lock showed some good things against Dallas in a loss on Thanksgiving and he will get all the snaps with the first team. DeVito, who was hurt in his first start after replacing Daniel Jones for the game against Tampa Bay on Nov. 24, was limited at practice. Daboll said it remains to be seen whether he can be the backup Sunday at MetLife Stadium, where the Giants (2-10) are winless in six home games. If he can't go, the recently signed Tim Boyle would be the backup against the Saints (4-8). Lock was 21 of 32 for 178 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown. He ran for a career-high 57 yards, scoring on an 8-yard run and setting up Tyrone Tracy's short TD run with a 28-yard scramble. Lock, who was signed as a free agent in the offseason, was Jones' backup for the first 10 games. When Daboll benched Jones after a 2-8 start, he jumped DeVito ahead of Lock because the New Jersey product sparked the team to a three-game winning streak with Jones and then backup Tyrod Taylor hurt last season. DeVito hurt his right foreman late in a 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, and Lock got the start against the Cowboys four days later.

When the Apollo 13 spacecraft embarked on its lunar landing mission on April 11, 1970, the concept of a digital twin was yet to be conceived. Three days into the journey, the mission took an unexpected turn when a routine stirring of the oxygen tanks on board led to a catastrophic explosion. After running some diagnostic tests, the NASA team discovered that an oxygen tank explosion had critically damaged an engine. Worse, the damaged spacecraft was venting precious oxygen into space, spelling likely doom for the astronauts onboard — Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert. The spacecraft was over 200,000 miles from Earth, well beyond the reach of any terrestrial or physical intervention. The diagnosis and repair of the damage would have to be accomplished solely with what the crew had on board. NASA had fifteen simulators used for training and mission planning. While rudimentary compared to NASA's latest simulators built by Boeing , they could be connected by up to 10 digital computers and the setup was the cutting edge of technology in 1970. It also had command module pilot Ken Mattingly , who had been replaced on the mission due to exposure to rubella. Mattingly, the backup crew, and hundreds of NASA engineers took to the simulators to replicate the conditions aboard. Running several hypothetical missions, many of which resulted in fatalities for the simulated crew, the team managed to bring Apollo 13 back to Earth safely. It wouldn't be until 2005 that what NASA accomplished with the simulators received a name — the digital twin (DT) concept. In the early 2000s, Dr. Michael Grieves, a research scientist and expert in product development, coined a term for what NASA did with its simulators, but with added technology. Using a virtual twin of a product would mirror the actual product in all respects. A digital twin of physical reality could be invaluable in predicting, troubleshooting, or solving problems without the cost or risk of altering a process or product. The exponential growth of computing power, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the 21st century has exploded the digital twin concept. The IoT enables the transfer of data between the physical counterpart and the digital twin in real-time, has significantly enhanced the functionality of digital twins. Creating an exactingly accurate virtual simulation has become commonplace. A home computer simulates the performance characteristics of advanced aircraft or automobiles. Pilots train in simulators that mimic real-world situations without risk to life or limb. NASA can control physical systems aboard distant craft. A global shipping operation can determine the impact of a change to its logistical chain without risking doing so in the real world. A virtual twin goes beyond simulation by incorporating the IoT to transfer data between the physical counterpart of the digital twin in real-time. A true digital twin must meet three criteria – perfectly represent a physical system, share data instantaneously as well as constantly, and behave realistically. This concept is on the verge of revolutionizing healthcare, with potential applications ranging from patient monitoring and personalized treatment to drug development and surgical simulations. To say the digital world has changed since Dr. Grieves helped popularize the digital twin terminology in 2005 would be an understatement. Technology that was unimaginable during the Apollo 13 crisis has helped industries, universities, and think tanks evolve the digital twin concept. The first iteration of the concept during the Apollo 13 crisis would be considered a static twin model, which is an exact digital copy of a physical system. The systems employed by NASA replicated the conditions on board Apollo without the ability to physically alter or share information with the craft. A shadow digital twin can exchange data in real time and apply the information to update the model. This requires a connection between the virtual and physical twin — not possible in 1970 but commonplace now, thanks to the advent of communication technology. The ultimate goal is an intelligent virtual twin. An intelligent virtual twin can not only synthesize and share data like a shadow twin but also use artificial intelligence to learn, reason, predict, and communicate with the physical twin, including receiving updated information from the physical twin. Virtual twins can be understood through the lens of simulation, but the reality is that an intelligent virtual twin is magnitudes more sophisticated. It creates a link between a physical reality and a virtual world that can predict problems and apply solutions. The term conjures thoughts of an identical twin living somewhere in the virtual world as a canary-in-the-coal-mine avatar. Introduce a change in the virtual twin, such as virtual illness and a course (or several courses) of treatment, observe the outcome, and use that information to take the best possible route in treating the physical form. Of course, creating a digital twin of something as complex as a biological structure is no simple task. Vast quantities of data must be gathered and utilized to make an identical virtual twin. Fortunately (or perhaps not, depending on your viewpoint), that data has become more and more accessible in recent years. The IoT has the means to gather and share enormous amounts of data, much of which can be used to create a digital twin. However, it's not just collecting biometric, demographic, and lifestyle data. An effective digital twin incorporates disease registries in addition to genomics (genome mapping), biomics (the study and extraction of large sets of biological data), proteomics (study of interactions and structure of proteins), and metabolomics (study of metabolites) to gain a greater understanding of the health issue at hand. The growing power of computing and the rising efficacy of artificial intelligence have opened the gates for virtual twinning wider than could have been imagined just a few years ago. By collecting, synthesizing, and monitoring an individual's vital, genetic, lifestyle, and physiological information them using a virtual twin to apply machine learning, predictive mathematical models, and artificial intelligence, a doctor could, in a sense, predict the future. One of the most enticing facets of applying digital twins to healthcare is the detection of health risks before they emerge. Imagine a world where a doctor could identify and develop a successful treatment for breast cancer well before any signs or symptoms present. The technology could save or extend millions of lives. Diagnostic technology and methods already do this to some degree. When developing a treatment, most doctors and surgeons generate an exhaustive patient history, including past habits, vital statistics, and family history. A digital twin would maximize this process. A patient forewarned by an intelligent digital twin model could take unprecedented ownership of his or her health. Best practices for remaining healthy, such as the vagaries of clean eating and plentiful exercise, could be laser-focused to maximize positive outcomes. A virtual twin may discover a patient's genetic predisposition to form kidney stones, allowing the physical patient to avoid the cause before the first agonizing occurrence. While digital twinning has been used across industries for years, it is still relatively young in healthcare. What, after all, is more complex than the human body and its myriad systems? Aided by the rise of AI and increasingly available health information, doctors and scientists have scored some successes in the healthcare field. In 2019, a team at Johns Hopkins University published a proof-of-concept study authored by Natalia Trayanova, a professor of biomedical engineering. The report detailed how her team created virtual twins of the upper chambers of the hearts of 10 patients suffering atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Using information derived from the virtual twin, the team predicted where surgeons would need to destroy diseased heart tissue without exposing the patient to expensive or dangerous procedures. Another success comes from the Cleveland Clinic, which used the virtual twin model to study the impact of the environment on health. Using health records, environmental characteristics, and publicly available data to model neighborhoods and inform insurance and medical companies on how to alleviate health issues in those communities best. The purview of digital twinning in healthcare is extensive. It could shift everything from drug delivery to personalized care to insurance premiums and everything in between. However, it is not all smooth sailing for digital twins, as experts say that institutional support is required to push the science forward. The concept of digital twin models for use in healthcare has enormous potential but also faces great challenges. As Karen Willcox told the National Academies , "Digital twins have great promise in bringing value across areas of science and technology, including engineering, the natural world, and medicine. Our report makes clear that there is a real opportunity here to bring together domains and disciplines in new, valuable ways, but to achieve that value requires investment in interdisciplinary foundations." Creating digital twins relies on the sharing of data and enormous computational power, both of which are sometimes unavailable to researchers. Proponents have implored federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Departments of Defense and Energy, to create interagency channels to promote the research required to maximize the effectiveness of digital twin technology. Along with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the NIH and NSF have awarded $6 million to develop digital twins for healthcare and biomedical research. It's a paltry sum compared to the $285 million offered by the Biden administration to further digital twin technology in the manufacture of semiconductors. The adopters and adapters of virtual twin technology in healthcare face several challenges, including technical limitations, the quality of available data, and ethical concerns. Incorporating a new and revolutionary concept like virtual twinning across the entire healthcare field will require a monumental, concerted effort. Combining computation, artificial intelligence, mathematical models, and medicine into a neat package accessible and applicable across medical disciplines will require enormous investment and a highly sophisticated technical infrastructure. Furthermore, while the harvesting of data via smartphones, wearable sensor technology such as the Peloton heart rate band or the Facebit face mask , and other means has become commonplace, the quality of that data, primarily gathered through private concerns, could be faulty. It also raises ethical concerns. In addition, the cost of creating a virtual twin could create a disparity between those who can access the technology because of socio-economic status and those who cannot — a conversation that has been swirling around the American healthcare community for some time. Another hot-button issue highlights concerns over a person's personal data privacy. If private companies gather information about every aspect of a person's physical being, right down to home life and genome information, could that data be applied unethically? Could insurance companies deny coverage based on a digital twin's predicted ailments? The car industry is already collecting driving data for insurance companies . A logistics operation or automobile's digital twin is far more impersonal than a living, breathing human being distilled into data. The advent of digital twin technology has improved systems for decades, but its application to healthcare has enormous potential and some sticky ethical and moral questions. As scientists and researchers forge onward, one thing seems clear — digital twins are here to stay. Forbes reports, "By 2025, 25% of Healthcare Delivery Organizations will include formalized digital twin initiatives within their digital transformation strategy." This number seems unlikely to shrink anytime soon. With digital twinning in healthcare in its infancy, only time will tell the benefits it might reap in the healthcare industry. Preventive diagnoses are only the tip of the iceberg. Decades past, a trio of astronauts floated helplessly in orbit, running out of oxygen and facing slim odds of a trip home. By replicating and simulating conditions aboard the craft, a team at NASA used one of the earliest examples of the digital twin concept to save their lives. It appears that this was only the beginning.White House says at least 8 US telecom firms, dozens of nations impacted by China hacking campaign WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official on Wednesday said at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign.

A top White House official on Wednesday said at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File) WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official on Wednesday said at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that the number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could still grow. The U.S. believes that the hackers were able to gain access to communications of senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures through the hack, Neuberger said. “We don’t believe any classified communications has been compromised,” Neuberger added during a call with reporters. She noted that because the hack appeared to be targeting a relatively small group of individuals, only a small number of Americans' phone calls and texts have been compromised. Neuberger added that impacted companies are all responding, but none “have fully removed the Chinese actors from these networks.” “So there is a risk of ongoing compromises to communications until U.S. companies address the cybersecurity gaps the Chinese are likely to maintain their access,” Neuberger said. She said that President Joe Biden has been briefed on the findings and that the White House “has made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom this.” The Chinese embassy in Washington on Tuesday rejected the accusations that it was responsible for the hack after the U.S. federal authorities issued new guidance. “The U.S. needs to stop its own cyberattacks against other countries and refrain from using cyber security to smear and slander China,” embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said. The embassy did not immediately respond to messages on Wednesday. White House officials believe that the hacking was regionally targeted and the focus was on very senior government officials. Federal authorities confirmed in October that hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. The number of countries impacted by the hack is currently believed to be in the “low, couple dozen,” according to a senior administration official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House, said they believed the hacks started at least a year or two ago. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the operation, which has been dubbed Salt Typhoon, and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, experts say. Neuberger pointed to efforts that have been made to beef up cybersecurity in the rail, aviation, energy and other sectors following the May 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline . “So, to prevent ongoing Salt typhoon type intrusions by China, we believe we need to apply a similar minimum cybersecurity practice,” Neuberger said. The cyberattack by a gang of criminal hackers on the critical U.S. pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel used along the Eastern Seaboard, sent ripple effects across the economy, highlighting cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the nation’s aging energy infrastructure. Colonial confirmed it paid $4.4 million to the gang of hackers who broke into its computer systems as it scrambled to get the nation's fuel pipeline back online. ___ Associated Press writer David Klepper contributed reporting.

Suchir Balaji, 26, was found dead in his San Franscisco apartment on Nov. 26, authorities told The Mercury News , which first reported the story. Police told the outlet there is "currently, no evidence of foul play" in the 26-year-old's death. San Franscisco's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to The Mercury News and CNBC that "the manner of death has been determined to be suicide." Balaji left OpenAI in August after four years because he “no longer wanted to contribute to technologies that he believed would bring society more harm than benefit,” according to the New York Times , who profiled him in October. The 26-year-old took to X , formerly known as Twitter, to promote the profile and to detail his opinions about the company and his “skeptical” thoughts about fair use being a sound defense for generative AI products. "I initially didn't know much about copyright, fair use, etc. but became curious after seeing all the lawsuits filed against GenAI companies," Balaji said on X in October. "When I tried to understand the issue better, I eventually came to the conclusion that fair use seems like a pretty implausible defense for a lot of generative AI products, for the basic reason that they can create substitutes that compete with the data they're trained on." Balaji also wrote a blog on his website further detailing his concerns with ChatGPT and how Open AI trained programs. The former researcher and whistleblower's concerns aren’t new as OpenAI has been hit with lawsuits since its release in 2022. The New York Times and Mercury News were among other suits filed by journalists, authors, computer programmers and more. These suits accuse the company of stealing their copyrighted material to train AI. EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide.

The Duke of York may not be to blame for the scandal surrounding the , a well-placed source insisted. The source told The Telegraph that criticism should be directed at Beijing and not if it turned out the alleged agent was “on manoeuvres” for the Communist country. The Telegraph understands that the alleged spy’s multiple visits to royal residences to find out who else he may have come into contact with and the specific details surrounding each visit. The businessman, currently the subject of a court anonymity order and referred to only as H6, was a “close confidant” of the Duke, according to court documents, and was connected to the Chinese branch of his Pitch@Palace operation. The Telegraph revealed on Friday that are investigating money he is believed to have given to the Duke’s business venture. H6 has been accused of working for the United Front Work Department (UFWD), a Chinese state arm used to gather intelligence and recruit agents, and has been barred from re-entering the UK on national security grounds. A well-placed source said that the Prince had met the man through government-sanctioned activity. “If it is true that the Duke was targeted by this man and that this man in turn was on manoeuvres in some way, I don’t see how that can be a criticism of the Duke rather than a criticism of Chinese operatives,” they told The Telegraph. “It’s a bit mystifying.” On Saturday, senior politicians called for judges to allow the media to name the man after a foreign publication reported his identity. The was made as part of a legal case brought by H6 at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission to challenge the decision to bar him from entering the country. However, the order was branded “untenable” following an article by an Asian news outlet which gave the man’s name alongside a picture. Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: “Given the Chinese spy has now been named outside the UK, it is increasingly untenable to maintain anonymity here. “It serves the public interest to know who this man is since that might prompt further information to be volunteered. “We should not underestimate the of democratic, governmental, and academic institutions as well as the technology sector. “Espionage and intellectual property theft by China remains a very serious problem. Chinese espionage activity must be fully exposed publicly.” Buckingham Palace’s investigation will focus on who else the alleged spy might have met during his various visits to royal properties. He was reportedly invited into the palace on two occasions and was also present at a function at St James’s Palace, and an event at Windsor Castle. A source said: “We are taking the appropriate steps one might expect in the circumstances.” It is thought unlikely that security systems were breached as he would have used legitimate identification and adhered to the usual protocols. The Duke has insisted that he “ceased all contact” with the alleged spy after concerns were raised, and that “nothing of a sensitive nature was ever discussed”. According to court documents, Prince Andrew told H6 that he could act on his behalf when dealing with potential investors in China. The man was invited to the Duke’s birthday party in 2020. The revelation that MI5 is investigating money paid by H6 to Prince Andrew’s business venture follows surrounding the royal’s finances, which included taking money from Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted child sex offender. The from his brother earlier this year, and it is not known how the Duke funds a lavish lifestyle, including the upkeep of Royal Lodge, a 30-room property owned by the Crown Estate. The details of H6’s connection to the Duke came to light in a legal hearing last Tuesday in which he tried to have his ban from the UK overturned but was unsuccessful. China is regarded by intelligence and law enforcement agencies as a longstanding potential threat to British interests and the UFWD is one of the Chinese Communist Party’s key bodies charged with gaining influence abroad. A Palace spokesman said they did not discuss security matters.MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Boubacar Coulibaly had 22 points in Pepperdine's 86-76 victory over Northern Arizona on Saturday night.

Enzo Maresca savoured chants of ‘we’ve got our Chelsea back’ from travelling fans following a 5-1 Premier League thrashing of 10-man Southampton at St Mary’s. Blues supporters also sang the name of head coach Maresca during the closing stages of an emphatic success sealed by goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and substitute Jadon Sancho. Bottom club Southampton briefly levelled through Joe Aribo but were a man down from the 39th minute after captain Jack Stephens was sent off for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. Chelsea, who have endured an underwhelming period since Todd Boehly’s consortium bought the club in 2022, climbed above Arsenal and into second place on goal difference, seven points behind leaders Liverpool. The Blues have scored 57 goals in 22 matches in all comps this season, our best goals-per-game ratio in a single season in our history. 💙 #CFC | #SOUCHE pic.twitter.com/Xrx1SaM3aK — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) December 4, 2024 “It was a very good feeling, especially because you can see that they are happy, that is our target,” Maresca said of the atmosphere in the away end. “We work every day to keep them happy and tonight was a very good feeling, especially the one that they can see that Chelsea’s back. This is an important thing.” Maresca rotated his squad in Hampshire, making seven changes following Sunday’s impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Following a sloppy start, his side, who stretched their unbeaten run to six top-flight games, could easily have won by more as they hit the woodwork three times, in addition to squandering a host of chances. “I’m very happy with the five we scored,” said the Italian. “I’m not happy with the first 15, 20 minutes, where we struggled. The reason why we struggled is because we prepared the game to press them man to man and the first 15, 20 minutes we were not pressing them man to man. “After 15, 20 minutes we adjust that and the game was much better. For sure we could score more but five goals they are enough.” Southampton manager Russell Martin rued a costly “moment of madness” from skipper Stephens. The defender’s ridiculous red card was the headline mistake of a catalogue of errors from the beleaguered south-coast club as they slipped seven points from safety following an 11th defeat of a dismal season. “I don’t think anyone will be as disappointed as Jack,” Martin said of Stephens, who was sent off for the second time this term after tugging the curls of Cucurella as Saints prepared to take a corner. “I haven’t got to sit down and talk with him about that at all. He will be hurt more than anyone and it’s changed the game for us tonight, which is disappointing. “I think they have to describe it as violent conduct; it’s not violent really but there’s no other explanation for that really. It’s a moment of madness that’s really cost us and Jack.” Southampton repeatedly invited pressure with their risky attempts to play out from defence, with goalkeeper Joe Lumley gifting Chelsea their second goal, scored by Nkunku. While Saints were booed off at full-time, Martin, who was missing a host of key players due to injuries and suspensions, praised the effort of his depleted team. “When they see such a big scoreline and a couple of the goals we concede, I understand it (the jeers),” he said. “It’s football, it’s emotive, people feel so much about it, it’s why it’s such a special sport in this country and so big. “I understand it but I feel really proud of the players tonight, some of the football we played at 11 v 11 was amazing. “For an hour with 10 men we’ve dug in so deep, there were some big performances. I’m proud of them for that and I’m grateful for that because that’s not easy in that circumstance.”
