David Rittich made 17 saves.

Foegele showed good composure in following up his rebound on a breakaway with 4:56 left in the second, getting the Kings back within 4-3 and setting the stage for Kopitar's final-period heroics. Los Angeles is a resilient bunch, improving to 8-7-1 when allowing the first goal. The Flyers visit San Jose on Tuesday, and the Kings host New Jersey on Wednesday.

CHENNAI: In March this year, the US-based ACV, a B2B digital automotive marketplace for American dealers and commercial partners, flagged its presence with a new technology development centre here. This is its second hub outside the US. Helming the centre is employee number one, Sathish Vaidyanathan, VP, Head of auctions, ACV Auctions, who spoke to DT Next recently to give an overview of the company’s global capability centre’s operations. “We are 75-odd people at the Chennai centre along the lines of our growth plans. By next year, we are looking to touch 140 to 150 people-count,” he said, adding the scaling up effort would be focused on recruiting people with competencies in data science, artificial intelligence and cloud technologies. ACV began operations in Buffalo in 2014 and thereafter went public in 2021. For 8-9 years, it organically acquired companies that fit its profile, while it continued to amplify its supply base. Its business model is to leverage data insights and proprietary technology to assist franchise dealer and independent dealers in the US to inspect, buy, sell, finance and arrange transport for vehicles, Vaidyanathan said. The primary reason for choosing Chennai is the availability of talent and culture fit, the leader said, adding the US entity had identified the southern IT nerve-centre to globalise its operations. ACV has technical hubs in France and Ireland also. The high-growth auto marketplace company plans to scale its India operations rapidly to leverage Chennai’s availability of highly-skilled technology professionals and its reputation in automotive and SaaS industries. ACV’s aim is to transform the US automotive industry by building efficient digital marketplace and data solutions for sourcing, selling, and managing used vehicles with transparency and comprehensive insights that were once unimaginable. Vaidyanathan said, “Our goal is to build a vibrant team in India and to contribute significantly to ACV’s global vision. Our focus will be on harnessing the stellar local technology talent to enhance our product offerings and operational efficiencies.” He then went on to cite some examples that made it possible to bring in improved efficiencies in the digital marketplace auction process. For instance, part of the ecosystem is the ability to do the inspection prior to the listing. “The vehicle condition inspection is done using advanced technologies. Our hardware products are able to offer inspection information of the car chassis or detect even the engine noise coming from the bonnet of the car,” he said, adding an elliptical camera with AI technology made it possible to offer solutions that made the listing and customer engagement more precise. By such a tech intervention, the prediction of the car price is possible using current market data. Since the auction time lasts only 20 minutes on the marketplace, the estimated price submitted by ACV ensures that the transaction is completed through the auction platform.

The opinions expressed below are Jon Keller's, not those of WBZ, CBS News or Paramount Global. BOSTON - Jimmy Carter was little-known nationally when he won the presidency in 1976. But he faced an even tougher test for re-election in 1980 -- a challenge from the most famous name in American politics, an epic showdown between Sen. Ted Kennedy and the incumbent that made a big impact on national and local politics. Showdown between Carter and Ted Kennedy It was an awkward moment at the October 1979 dedication of the Kennedy Library on Columbia Point when Carter told a story about the late President John F. Kennedy being told that "your brother Ted said recently on television that after seeing the cares of office on you, he wasn't sure if he'd ever be interested in being president ." Nervous laughter ensued. But 18 days later, Kennedy was in, seeing opportunity in the economic problems and international crises that had beset the Carter administration. "People are very distressed by the partial answers of Mr. Carter on the economy, the economy is the key issue," he told one interviewer. The president's reaction? "He said 'well, of course, if he gets in, I'll whup his ass," recalls legendary Boston political strategist Ed Jesser, who was press secretary for Carter's re-election campaign. Carter "reacted more effectively to the fact of Watergate - the post-Watergate condition of the American electorate - than anyone who ran against him. He was better at it," says Jesser, quoting Carter's famous line from the 1976 campaign: "I will never lie to you." The Kennedy political operation was famously skilled and aggressive. But the peanut farmer from Plains didn't get to the White House by shrinking from political hardball. "Senator Kennedy is well known as the largest spender perhaps in the history of the United States Senate," Carter said. "And the only cuts I know he has advocated have been cuts in the defense budget." Opened the door for other Mass. lawmakers In the end, it was no contest. By beating Kennedy so soundly, Carter punctured the myth of the Kennedy family's political supremacy, and opened the door for other Massachusetts pols like Michael Dukakis, Paul Tsongas and John Kerry to go national. And while 1980 ended in defeat for Carter, the loyalty he engendered from political allies like Jesser lives on. "He's the hardest working, the smartest, and the most decent human being who ever held that office in my mind," says Jesser. Jon Keller is the political analyst for WBZ-TV News.

In Beed district, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suresh Dhas, who retained the Ashti seat with a decisive margin of 77,000 votes, accused senior party leader Pankaja Munde of undermining his campaign. Dhas alleged that Munde directed her aides to support his rival, Bhimrao Bhonde, an independent candidate banking on OBC votes. Beed, already polarised along Maratha-OBC lines, became a hotspot for intense political battles, with Dhas managing to secure his victory despite these challenges. During his victory rally, Dhas said, “Pankajatai, you should not have done this. You have lost a good person.” He alleged that Munde’s actions had complicated an already fraught contest but credited his team for overcoming the obstacles. In Solapur’s Malshiras constituency, BJP candidate Ram Satpute, who lost by 13,000 votes, blamed BJP MLC Ranjitsinh Mohite for his defeat. Satpute accused Mohite of actively supporting his opponent, Uttam Jankar, and even financing efforts to undermine his campaign. Satpute’s frustration was evident in a social media post where he claimed that Mohite had provided financial backing to his sugar factory while working against the party. He alleged that BJP polling agents were threatened and demanded Mohite’s expulsion, stating, “Ranjitsinh Mohite Patil, despite being an MLC supported by the BJP, worked against the party. He should be immediately removed.” The Mohite family has a significant influence in Solapur. While Mohite’s relatives have shifted allegiances to the NCP (Sharad Pawar) in recent years, Ranjitsinh remained with the BJP but faced accusations of disloyalty. Within MVA, in Solapur South, Congress MP Praniti Shinde faced allegations from the Shiv Sena (UBT) of sabotaging the MVA candidate Amar Patil. The Congress bastion was allocated to the Shiv Sena (UBT) as part of the seat-sharing arrangement, leaving Shinde reportedly unhappy. She allegedly supported independent candidate Dharmaraj Kadadi, who split the vote, ultimately aiding BJP’s Subhash Deshmukh in securing the seat by a margin of 77,000 votes. Shiv Sena (UBT) workers staged protests against Shinde, accusing her of betraying the alliance. UBT leader Priyanka Chaturvedi criticized the development on social media, remarking, “The independent candidate supported by MP Praniti Shinde over the MVA candidate lost his deposit while ensuring the defeat of the official MVA Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate.” According to political analysts, these incidents highlight the fragility of alliances driven by political compulsions. “These coalitions, forged for electoral gain, often fail to penetrate the grassroots. Leaders act in self-interest, and party workers are unwilling to compromise for the larger goals of the alliance,” said Chitra Lele, professor of political science at SNDT College. As the Mahayuti and MVA navigate the fallout of these internal clashes, the growing discontent underscores the challenges of maintaining unity in alliances cobbled together under electoral pressure.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy took part in some light throwing on Monday after missing his first career game because of an injury and the 49ers are hoping he can return this week. Purdy hurt his throwing shoulder during a loss to Seattle on Nov. 17. Purdy underwent two MRIs last week that showed no structural damage. But Purdy he felt discomfort after making a few throws at practice on Thursday and was shut down for the game at Green Bay on Sunday that San Francisco lost 38-10 . Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy made it through the session without pain and will rest on Tuesday and hopefully be able to return to practice on Wednesday as the Niners prepare to play at Buffalo this coming week. “We rested it throughout the weekend hoping that would help,” Shanahan said. “He threw lighter today to see if that rest helps and the rest did help him. So we’ll see again, going through the same things we did last week. We’re going to let him rest all the way up to Wednesday. We’ll see how it feels on Wednesday and then we’ll take the exact same course throughout the week. Hopefully it responds better this week than it did last week with the rest.” Brandon Allen went 17 for 29 for 199 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a lost fumble in his first start since the 2021 season. Allen would play once again if Purdy is unable to go on Sunday at Buffalo. Purdy wasn't the only star player missing for the 49ers on Sunday with defensive end Nick Bosa missing the game with injuries to his left hip and oblique and left tackle Trent Williams out with an ankle injury. “Just waiting to see how they respond,” Shanahan said. “They didn’t respond great last week. That’s why they weren’t able to go. Nick and Trent are both in the same boat. ... We’ll evaluate as this week progresses and hopefully it turns a better corner than it did last week.” In other injury news, linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to practice this week for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon in the Super Bowl last season. Greenlaw will likely need at least a couple of weeks of practice before being able to return to play. Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano will be shut down for the rest of the season after his knee injury didn't fully heal. Feliciano's three-week practice window ended Monday and the Niners decided to keep him on injured reserve instead of activating him. Left guard Aaron Banks, defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and receiver Jacob Cowing all remain in concussion protocol to start this week and their status is unknown. Right guard Dominick Puni (shoulder) and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. Cornerback Renardo Green (neck) and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) are day to day. Defensive tackle Kevin Givens is expected to return to practice this week after missing the past four games with a groin injury.
